ISOLATION & INSULATION

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Isolation & Insulation

Let me tell you why I choose those two words as the topic for this digital post. This is going to be about males. Men in all their forms. Whether a man is gay, straight, bisexual, transgender or cisgender. That said. Do you know why a ‘man’ is the most dangerous human being in America? It is not because of immaturity or some subjective description that carries millions of opinions. It is because a man with a steak on his plate. Wine in his glass or an expensive liquor. A woman or man in his bed, and two or more vehicles in his driveway. A man with enough money or means at his disposal that he sees no reason to care about the world outside his front door. That is the most dangerous man in America!

As you all know me, I will be 60 years old next year. I have spent the bulk of my life in the United States Army and 7 significant years in Mental Health. What those 2 institutions have in common is the chance of physical and mental harm being delivered to the only prized possession a person has. The body. I thank God that he has chosen me to have done both, and he has me still doing the mental health purpose.

What I’m about to say now will offend some men. Don’t get it twisted! I’m talking about this statement offending men of honor. There is no need to have served America through military duty. Nor is there a need to serve in mental health. There is a need though for ‘MEN’ to put themselves in harm’s way to serve humanity! None of all this ‘tough guy’ shit I see from the Republicans is close to manhood. Nor is any of the ‘hesitant restraint’ for righteous battle I see in Democrats worthy of glory!

Insulating yourselves from harm men is not glorious. Isolating yourselves from the causes that need men to put themselves in righteous jeopardy will not raise up monuments to your courage either. Yes, there are many occupations that are dangerous such as police, firemen, Federal officers, judges, and elected officials. Many of those callings have overly excused unlawful acts that they are in need of purging in their ranks in order to regain their humble duty to serve others.

This I declare. Do not take one of these positions without making peace with the chance that you may be harmed in the course of your duty. I know what you’re thinking. You have to control your negative human impulses to retaliate against someone injuring you. That doesn’t mean you can’t use violence, force, nonlethal and if necessary lethal means to gain control of a dangerous situation.

The choices you make must be just. By ‘just’ I mean explainable for God himself to believe you!

So, men, do not be shocked that rich men care nothing for the ‘troubles of other men’. Men, don’t spend time wondering when some men will ‘wake’ up and take actions to better the world around them. Lastly men, don’t expect another man to intervene when harm is about to be visited upon the innocent. By no means do you need to get in between criminals shooting it out.

If you have it in you as a man to stop an injustice, do it. Damn that steak on your plate.

Season One

Episode 2: Do They Really Pop Up In Rows?

(The Second: Take care not to let too many seeds go astray).

Part Two: The Assembly Line

Prologue:

(The first inroad to hooking up with Hedgy was overly spacious. Going into the Student Center at Pratt Institute was for sure ambitious in an outcome that was expected to be met with abundant cooperation. It wasn’t foolish to think as much, but it was nevertheless quite presumptuous. Uoherbhai was right in our discussions in the hotel that ‘everyone or every place has an ‘air’ about what they expect when someone comes into their dominion’.

It is not to be standoffish, but it is simply a ‘telling’ that we’re not going to bow to your expectations. You’re going to bow to ours. That’s not being unfriendly. That’s just being true to the way they do things. Pratt Institute will be respected. Now, Sarah W. Certainty, says to herself. ‘It is nigh time to trust in my people. For they know the ways of things I do not’. Sarah thinks to herself, ‘Did I speak enough like the elders of old where their words were as solid as the ‘rock’ atop an altar’?

Well, Sarah, she says to herself, ‘there is not a document with instructions that tells me step by step how to assemble a bunch of products’. My people will come with a different set of parts. I’ve got to assemble my team. Since there aren’t any lists or manuals, I will use a lot of the, I already know, and the things Mother Sayer has taught me. First, I need to stop being rigid. Be more fluid and flowing with the river. Navigate away from the hazards the river and the shoreline has hidden.).

—————————-Dress the part—————————–

(Janea arrives at the Artezen Hotel and she calls U-Her on her cell number. U-her agrees to come down and greet her.).

Janea: Hello U-Her. The night is settling into something telling. Let’s get prepared for it shall we.

Uoherbhai: I don’t think I fully get what you mean by that? Am I prepared for what you have in store?

Janea: Oh, don’t worry. I want to see first what you all are looking to ‘wear’ tonight that’s all. Let’s go up and put our heads together and see what we can accomplish.

(On top of all the greetings and girly stuff, an intentionally ‘hard’ look was made at what they both were planning to wear tonight out. Janea made some suggestions as far as accessories go. ‘Do you have some boots? Some high heels if not? Maybe a purse that has a chain you can sling over your shoulder’? This kind of talk from Janea was taken in and finally met with an inquisitive response.).

Sarah W. Certainty: What exactly are we dressing like biker chicks for?

Janea: Oh, I’m sorry. I retreat into my mind when I have a task to fulfill when I want a certain result to come out of it. You want to get a feel for Hedgie Fletts right?

Sarah W. Certainty: Right?

Janea: Hedgie is a ‘Goth’ girl. She frequents locations that aren’t exactly legal. You know. Places that don’t exactly have a business license to operate in the city. They are edgy if you know what I mean?

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, that’s good. You’re taking us somewhere where there is a good chance I will arrive unannounced at the Pearly Gates of Heaven.

Janea: (Janea laughs and comments that’s a good clapback.). No, Sarah, I’m not taking both of you someplace where the gatherers seek physical harm or police trouble.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good. I’m not going to lay in a manger surrounded by farm animals waiting on a vacancy in the Inn.

Janea: (Janea laughs.). You are funny. We’re good to go now.

————————Pot & Psychedelics Party—————————-

(Janea, Sarah and Uoherbhai arrive at a place that seems to be a garbage collection point than a ‘black hole’. A place where people don’t appreciate too much light. Any who, Janea met a friend near the location that told her Hedgie just arrived there. So Janea came back and told us we better hurry before she gets some drugs into her system and Hedgie’s memory of this night will be forever locked in a vault somewhere in her brain.

Sarah tells her lead the way. They get through the door with a couple of eye rolls with money as the ultimate entry code.).

Janea: (Janea spots Hedgie with two other regulars she thinks. My time is the only precious commodity I possess, Janea says to herself. ‘Milks a churning. Butters a making.’.). Ms. Sarah, if you don’t mind. I’ll take lead. I know you don’t have a lot of time, so I’ll work quickly. Be right back.

Sarah W. Certainty: You didn’t get us killed on the sidewalk or coming through that door. Keep my trust girl. Do it.

Janea: Yes boss.

Sarah W. Certainty: (That means exactly what I think it means. She’s auditioning for me. She’s not doing this for this one time. She’s thinking of hooking up with me because she senses I got something more to offer.). That’s right Janea. I expect results. This is, your audition.

Janea: Well now. I see we understand each other. One moment then. (Janea, goes over to talk with Hedgie.).

Hedgie Fletts: (Janea has just called to Hedgie as she was walking up to where she was standing. Some drugs were close by Hedgie’s position, so Janea is well into her reacquaintance spill.). Hello?

Janea: (Janea sees that Hedgie is flipping through metaphorical pages of her memory trying to recognize Janea.). Oh hey girl. I just sit at the front counter in the Student Center. I answer questions and keep all the students straight, on course. At Pratt Institute? I’m Janea. It is advantageous for me to remember names of the students. It helps me help them to remain comfortable. Hey listen, speaking of that. Today, there were some interested business ladies looking for some talented women studying fashion and communication. I want to bring them over now to meet you, just so when they want to set up a meet. Let’s do some intros shall we? (Janea motions over to Sarah and U-Her to come over.).

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah of course speaks first.). Ms. Hedgie, I feel like I already know a lot about your interests. Are you having fun?

Hedgie Fletts: It’s high here. I see people riding their waves.

Uoherbhai: Uoherbhai. Ms. Hedgie. It floats. Look, we desire a closer conversation. Let me get your number and I will set up a meet? If you’re ready to go beyond Pratt Institute?

Hedgie Fletts: Look, I can hardly hear in here. Not a place I want to talk.

Janea: Right girl. Listen. I can do that for both of you. The numbers and all. Hedgie, U-Her, give me your phones. What’s your number U-Her? (This is just so that Hedgie thinks Janea doesn’t already have U-her’s number and Sarah’s number.).

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah knows what she has to do. She’s been around. Sarah gets close to Hedgie and starts asking about her clothes, jewelry, accouterments and her makeup.). Stunning how you blend ‘the’ look you have going? All what you’re wearing. It makes me take a longer look. To put it all in my memory.

Hedgie Fletts: I do take my time when I want to make myself up. The image, is more.

Sarah W. Certainty: (There it is again. A cascade of lessons, all at once, flowing from Mother Sayer explaining and deciphering these types of ‘times’.). Party on girl.

Uoherbhai: (She eyes Sarah as if she sees Sarah looking like she’s choosing what on her plate to put in her mouth first. It is a good thing. Introverts have come to understand that ‘contemplation’ is a good thing.). We good Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: (What did Mother Sayer say? ‘All women, no matter what, want to feel beauty in the way they understand beauty’.). Your style is eye catching Hedgie. I think we should get together and discuss business. Do you agree?

Hedgie Fletts: Of course, not here though.

Sarah W. Certainty: Of course, not here.

Janea: Ladies. We shall let Hedgie have fun in this place. Where she has chosen to have fun? Do we have what we need?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. Oh yes we do. And yes, we’re good U-Her.

Uoherbhai: Yes. I believe we are.

Janea: (Janea gets within ear shot whisper close to Sarah and says this.). Then, let’s get the fuck out of here.

————————-Success at Pratt Institute—————————

Epilogue:

(‘A dull knife slicing an onion makes more tears than toppings’. I’ve been working on that saying for weeks. Sarah is listening to Mother Sayer and the culture of Black people more and more. Sarah also has reconnected with the depths and richness of Italians and the Italian culture. ‘Carpe Diem’ is an Italian phrase she says to herself. I’m not taking a back seat to Africa and the remnants of her people on lands far and wide. I’m just making a pilgrimage back to my Italian heritage.

Sarah understands a lot more than most people because she was introduced to life’s ugliness early. It is natural to disconnect what we misunderstand as violence and what violence can do to help bring order. Sarah is no longer apologetic to what violence can do to stop other violence that hurts her family, friends, or her father’s business.

Violence is a vital piece, in a box of a certain type of product, that is necessary to ‘assemble’ a working and functioning tool in ‘defense’ of life. All life! The ‘innocent’ and the ‘guilty’.

There are people born, that are necessary to answer, respond and vanquish the violence of the evil people in this world. Sarah laughs to herself that the mob or ‘organized crime’ has been characterized as members of that category of ‘evil’ people. Some criminals are for sure, but her father is not a man marauding about, looking for the defenseless and weak.

Sarah has turned the dial of her power to its ‘maximum’ setting. She will solidify the parts she has chosen as part of her whole and she will ‘assemble’ herself with her virtues, violence as necessary, and the spirituality of her God. No more apologies. I am Italian. I will not weaken that heritage anymore!

Some assembly is required.).

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

There are women and men bestowed with the gift to answer the ultimate question. That question is ‘WHY’. They are charged with rendering an answer that can be understood by the most contrary element of our society. Those that foment, spread and traffic in hate. Our Brothers are in need of guidance and this journal will bring forth a multitude of remedies to address the male illness of unawareness. The answer to the ultimate unknowns of behavior and responsibility.

Those of us given this perception and understanding to interpret the unknown and apply the information to the known is the essence of our charge. Thereafter decode the messages for the people who oppose themselves. This decryption is then presented to the people as the explanation of events past, present and future so they may keep updated to the frenetic changes occurring today and those that will arrive soon.

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 59 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 17: Courtesy Shows Who Lacks It

Donald J. Trump is a delight to those whose souls basks in the darkness he craves. The legacy media of ABC, CBS, NBC, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEWSWEEK, THE WASHINGTON POST and all those that just kept the ‘pot of evil’ stirred while all manners of human beings had everything taken from them. Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, all the souls that had no defender to help protect them from the evil that pursued them with relentless glee.

So don’t tell me now any of those publications showed any courtesy to the oppressed in America. All of them did exactly the opposite. All of them showed disdain to the ‘downtrodden’! All the police brutality these legacy media platforms showed just up and made a mockery of their suffering. Now these ‘legacy media’ types are holier than thou, and converted I add, want everyone to believe they are reporting these killings in the Caribbean Ocean because it ‘pains’ their conscience?

Give me a fucking break!

The day you claimed you cared about ‘humanity’, period, should have been the day you started to produce your ‘printed word’ covering ‘humanity’!

I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. The year was 1979. The exact date was June 22, 1979. That year I learned the name ‘Bonita Carter’. I was only 12 years old. I still know that name to this very day. My, time is getting up there for me. Bonita Carter was killed by a Birmingham, Alabama police officer. The killing was unjustified.

Tell me something. Why does a child have to remember the death of a 20 year old Black woman going about her life? In a city that wasn’t too far from water cannons striking the bodies of Black men, women and a little Black girl fleeing on one good leg while the other leg is broken and flapping along trying to keep the pace?

Don’t fucking tell me I need to cheer for men and women being killed! I shouldn’t have a memory from my childhood of a young Black woman being killed because she was Black! Keep that shit in your own dark soul celebrating the death of anyone. I have been told of countless Black people, my people, being viciously killed. Probably just cause somebody picked their nose and a White Supremacist in power felt offended!

Sound familiar? Donald J. Trump doesn’t need a reason to kill. Donald J. Trump just points at somebody and says kill them and they are killed. I’m wrong? Prove it?

If you’re thinking I never said the same to Democrats in the White House, you are mistaken! ‘Do not be quick to deal in Death’!

Yeah, Black people should just forget about all their wonderful lived history in America right?

Be courteous right? ‘Yes Suh, Master. I be a good Nigger, Suh’.

Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. Along with a myriad of lessons this world teaches you; I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…

Article 16: Waves Upon the Shore

I’m going to get right to it. My Somali brothers and sisters that have arrived on the shores of America to add to the vibrancy of this nation. You have wounded me! I am a Black man born in the heart of where all the dripping drool of grotesque, demented and evil determination of White Supremacy reestablished itself after the Civil War. The South is where Jim Crow was established, solidified and sanctioned as governmental law. Birmingham, Alabama is my birthplace. My Somali brothers and sisters, if you don’t know that blood, my people’s blood, was spilled there. You missed the lessons that history was supposed to teach you.

My Somali brothers and sisters, you were required to know what comes to pass when you choose between good and evil. You made an error. Donald J. Trump is an evil and buffoonish man void of any decency, order, code of honor or moral virtues. Now all of you have stained this great nation by allowing Donald J. Trump to spread himself again like a ‘green bay tree’.

The wicked are not disguised. There are no ‘blessed’ considerations to make in life based on money. Are you crazy? How’s that working out for you? Donald J. Trump made promises that he knew he could not achieve. Are you that simple minded? Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t need to solve basic addition and subtraction for us. Somalis, you don’t know when somebody intends to take, subtract, from your lives? That’s insane! Donald J. Trump told all of us what he was about to bring ‘to pass’. Rejecting the Republican Party on television now is moot.

Now, Let me pose a question to all peoples that live in America. When will we stop giving power to Republicans? The totality of a person should be ‘Paramount’ to every decision when considering a representative of the ‘people’.

Donald J. Trump is not funny or witty when he insults women. Donald J. Trump is not funny when he insults Somalis. Donald J. Trump is not funny when he kills people in the Caribbean Ocean.

I will drop another post about ‘supply and demand’ if Americans insist on this ludicrous and farcical killing adventure. Really? So, the criminal justice system, still having zero sympathy for ‘substance abuse’ now wants us to believe Republicans are protecting us ‘poor souls’ from the big bad drug cartels?

Give me a fucking break!

My Somali brothers and sisters can you help us Black folk out? Can you please do a little background research? Next time. Before you return a ‘creeping evil’ to power? Please?

Waves upon the shoreline. Gosh, they sure don’t take the trash out to sea very often. On the rebound that is.

THE FOURTH ORDEAL

FOREWORD:

This 7 part series of writings and videos must deal with the inconsistencies present in how humanity believes it has been allowed to survive. From the moment when the ‘First Father’ asked who first absorbed an energy that could darken the light which gives breath to the flesh? How man has shaded the most powerful truth of character to lessen the woman. Was this the moment a new and inadequate ‘construct’ of falsities was born and written in a book with torn out pages?

From ‘alternative facts’ to applauding liars. To the wicked working inside the government all the while having utter disdain for it. To so-called churches drawing evil to their sanctuaries while ignoring the truths that all of their evil was and is planned at their altars. These things are not anomalies. They are direct expectations of an established semblance to spiritual doctrine given from a divine God.

Who is to blame for the world? All the glorious displays of continuous cruelty? All the gluttonous money hoarders? All the celebrated despisers of the poor? All the crooks and thieves with their merry band of evil enablers wobbling fat and stuffed along on this world like a bloated carcass rotting in the midday Sun. Here you will find what is happening and what choices we have to do something else. As the saying goes, ‘If you like it, for sure the Devil has openings in his own awards show’.

THE FOURTH ORDEAL

Power Wears No Mask!

The THIRD Round: May Your 30 Pieces of Silver Cause Everything in Your Life to Rot. May It Also Cause Every Meal You Purchase and Consume From Your Ill-Gotten Evil Gains to Be Vomited Up Onto Your Plate.

——————————————————————————————————————-

This latest posting of the ‘ORDEAL’ I am telling you now will be personal. I am currently being attacked by evil in the mortgage on my house. I will not name my mortgage company yet, but for the last 2 months I have received correspondence that says I haven’t paid my mortgage for 3 years.

I have received calls and correspondence that I was still engaged in a loan modification. I rejected that modification months ago. I have been threatened with foreclosure. So, my righteous and loyal users. It is not just the National Democrats, Republican enemies of Donald J. Trump, or Independents that have been attacked. It is anyone that calls out the buffoon in the White House! I do not for a fact know and I make no claim that it is Donald J. Trump that has authorized this attack through the government agencies, The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Now, listen to me. I want everyone to hear me clearly. I have never been so joyful in my life. You know why? I thought that our Father God, his Son Jesus, and the Holy Ghost thought that I got too comfortable and was no longer useful to the Trinity. Whoooh! I am glad to fight the evil that is in the White House anyone else that comes at me!

I AM STRONGEST! BRING THE EVIL! BRING THE BATTLE TO ME! I WILL NEVER YIELD TO EVIL!

I have prayed over this and arose valiant! I am the right one! I will pray that all those that have chosen to make me an enemy as I have done them no harm. All those that have taken their bag of coins; their 30 pieces of silver. May they REAP the full measure of what they have SOWN!

Donald J. Trump cannot shield you from the wrath of God! I don’t need to mind any of you because you all matter to Donald J. Trump. Good luck with your ‘orange’ God.

P.S. It is a joy to know again what I have known all my life. I grew up poor. I grew up in the projects, public housing, where my father never gave a dam about anyone but himself. Listen to me again on this. Believe what I have learned and the wisdom I received from it.

God manipulates too! You don’t think that God allows his creation to believe they can do whatever they want? God sees that and guess what? God just lets you be who you are in order to achieve the outcomes God desires. The people God lets destroy themselves. The people God puts in place so his chosen can see you make a fool of yourself. Oh, I know there will be the so-called Christians that say, ‘God don’t need to manipulate anybody. God controls us all’. Yeah, no one makes choices of their own huh? Of course those stupid ‘divine similitude’ Christians are allowed to destroy themselves and all those that chose to stick with them. A ton of angels fell with Satan!

I am not perfect, but I do know how to leave people alone. Mine my own business right? Hence the scripture in the authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 3:30…Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

Believe it or not. Bye Felicia!

MENTAL HEALTH: EQUAL HEALTH

Mental Health: Equal Health

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

First things first is we must wrestle this false superiority of knowing what is mental health away from the general conversation about it. Eight years of Mental and Behavioral Healthcare experience has allowed me to uncover many expert opinions about it, and all such opinions deriving from seemingly enlightened patients. Granted some self-care explanations were on track, but being close to the answers cannot be the standard.

Therefore the philosophical nature of mass expertise is counterproductive and harmful to societies understandings about mental health in general. What then can psychological professionals do to dampen such a kaleidoscope of untrained sufferers diagnosing complicated mental disorders? My suggestion would be to produce a weekly periodical. A digital application on a smart phone with current news in the field. Produced along with a bevy of relatable leaders in the field cast on a short 30 minute weekly video. These non-stoic professionals will raise mental healthcare to the same respectable level as physical healthcare.

Many changes have led mental health to being reconsidered as a crucial opposite to the same coin of physical healthcare. More promotion is required if mental health is to achieve the position of equality it deserves for the benefit of humanity.

Issue 23: Leading to the U.S. Military laying Waste to U.S. Cities

Listen to me. Really listen to me. The 2 years I spent in Afghanistan tested everything about right and wrong I’ve ever faced in my life. I’ve been there at the place where you have to tell your command no. As a Petroleum Supply Sergeant during a lightning storm event near my FOB, I told soldiers they couldn’t get fuel. Guess what my commander did? He respected my decision because I operated under the protocols governing my duties.

I cannot feel sympathy for the military personnel that are committing these acts of violence against the fishermen in the Atlantic Ocean. Honor is not a coat taken off and put on depending on the storms directly above your head. The Law of War protects U.S. soldiers if they are captured. Do you want my brothers and sisters I’ve served with in combat and in garrison to be slaughtered?

God that would destroy all the love, integrity, care I’ve poured into my soldiers to keep them alive and professional in combat. I didn’t have to contemplate a decision I made to deny my soldiers the right to fire on a target I couldn’t determine was friend or foe. My answer was an instantaneous no! Of course, later I learned the outpost we were looking at from my firing position was a friendly.

Now imagine Donald J. Trump applying the same directives to military personnel, active or guard, to fire on a suspected drug deal at Soldier Field in Chicago. Donald J. Trump would level the entire block including Soldier Field right? If we applied the same reasoning, suspected drug dealers on American streets would be subject to summary execution along with any citizen oblivious to the draft dodger in the White House totally degrading the U.S. military.

Oh, the U.S. Supreme Court is directly responsible for the degrading of our great American experiment. Those 6 Conservative U.S. Supreme Court jesters, ah justices, could care less about the law. The law is a nuisance to the use of unbridled power! Human life does not concern these so-called Holy Bible thumping so-called God believers.

Think about that Americans. Republicans have managed to tarnish America for all time. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin can smirk all the long day because we have put a total buffoon back into the White House in Donald J. Trump to prove we aren’t better than no other country in the world! All the righteous bullshit is just that. Bullshit!

Americans. We need to throw every last Republican out of every governmental office in America. From local governments all the way up to the Federal Government.

This is what unchecked power looks like America! The drooling lustful heathen look of utter joy in killing!

When their spirit is enticed to commit acts of evil when those in power that are evil hearted require it of them. The Creator gifted his diverse creation carefully. The care he intended has been perverted by one race intent on maintaining their power instead of sharing it as we share the land, water and the air. America is that experiment. May I say it has never reached its full potential because she (Motherly pronoun) has never loved all her children.

Issue 24: Hail the Court of our Supremes

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All Rise in Awe and Admiration for our Wise and All-Knowing Conservative United States Supreme Court!

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we declare no decision is valid and final from any lower-life court (small ‘c’) unless we rule it as such.

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we will degrade this U.S. Supreme Court by granting full authority to Donald J. Trump as King of America!

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we grab the power of the ‘purse’ and give it to whomever we wish.

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we ‘backslide’ and renege on race being excluded from immigration enforcement. Racial profile to your heart’s desire ICE!

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we are outlawing racial gerrymandering on racial grounds which makes racial gerrymandering now legal.

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we showed all yaw’ll that we don’t care about precedent, a license to kill, diminishing the judicial process by slow-walking a criminal case against Donald J. Trump, etc.

By Decree: As the 6 Conservative Jesters, ah Justices, we just don’t give a FUCK!

Now. This is what you get to do.

That saying about running with scissors in your hand was generally heeded. The Republicans have done you one better. It is a striding one too.

The Republicans love to run carrying a pot of boiling water in their hands (metaphorically) they just took off the stove. I’ll explain.

Life has many lessons that serve as warnings and motivations. The Republicans believe they have mastered the art of combining those 2 humans emotions. Warnings like don’t cultivate the blaring evil of humanity. Evil like letting children starve while throwing lavish parties for men and women of questionable moral character. Or, snatching away the hope of dying babies right at the point of the discovery of a cure for their illness.

Republicans like to claim allegiance to lofty virtues. Motivated by a strict adherence to codes of honor. Their ‘dated’ waffling of whether spirituality should be the default setting is pathetic. Applying zero clarity to obvious crisis’s of conscience incriminates Republicans as it informs us that they actually believe in nothing. Stoking the evil and vile parts of humanity motivates Republicans as you see they revel in the permission structure of hatred they sanction.

Now America. We have come to the point of kicking off the game ball that will ‘sit’ in the marble palace of our history forever. Every one of you has followed me and marveled at my revelations and predictions. Put all of the pieces together. Donald J. Trump is freely unloading all our tax dollars on whoever he thinks will keep their mouths shut about it. ICE bonuses they don’t deserve. Contracts to stoke the ‘ass kissing’ of Donald J. Trump on social media. These are just two things we know about!

The Democrats must be given back the United States Congress. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Or, we all can let the Republican Senators steal millions of dollars just like that! Who knows what the Justice Department has already given to Donald J. Trump. Maybe they are giving him a million dollars a day just for being Donald J. Trump!

Now, I’m going to leave you all with a ‘logic’ nugget to get your imagination juiced.

Jeffrey Epstein said he was Donald J. Trump’s best friend for 10 years right? Jeffrey Epstein ran a business that provided estate and financial services planning to wealthy clients right? So, as Donald J. Trump’s friend, what did Donald J. Trump get out of that friendship? Don’t just focus on the sex crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Focus on what did Donald J. Trump get out of the friendship he had with Jeffrey Epstein?

Hint? Okay, let me give you a hint. Would Jeffrey Epstein be used as a reference on business loans? Would Jeffrey Epstein throw his weight around in board rooms? Would Jeffrey Epstein guarantee a loan for a friend? Huhhh? Don’t just look at the crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed. Look at the things about money that are in those files that Donald J. Trump is so afraid of.

Do you remember the video of Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at some ‘Legacy Media’ party? That video of Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to me shows a power dynamic.

Let me take a stab at it. I’d say the one with the power has his arms crossed in front of him.

Listen to me. Black folks will tell you this 10 times out of 10. That’s what happens when you run with a pot of scalding hot water in your hands.

THE WORD ‘GOD’ A ‘CONTRANYM’

The Word ‘God’ A ‘Contranym’

Foreword:

“It is not enough to call it a revelation. Learning that what you’ve been taught about something that should be a source of guidance, strength, serenity and hope was distorted. Distorted by no other reason because to live up to it doesn’t promise enough affection amongst others. Others that are all too eager to have others join their failures.

Failures of character or belief that living in a way of knowing what is right and what is wrong requires no daily conscience adjustment. That is why most people avoid the rigorous growth demanded of them to corral their devilish nature. Instead they actively succumb to the task of assembling what they feel they possess of value and submit to negotiating their own Faustian bargain; although knowing all too well the only valuable thing evil wants is their soul.

While we marvel at the sheer vastness of the numbers of folks actively deciding to be fools; we always exclude ourselves from being caught up so quickly alongside them fools. My belief, because I’ve lived it, is right and wrong shouldn’t require a daily recalibration based on which option would bring you the most fortune or the least condemnation.

Time I’m afraid never waits for your decision in those moments, so it lets’ you choose through the double-minded lens of distorted reasoning. When that happens the choice illuminates everything those around you need to know about you. Observe for yourself is my admonishment. Choose wisely is the saying right? Check out Hebrews 13:8 to know what it looks like when you decide who you want to be.”

Trickster: Edition Seven: Tongue Draggers Sweeping the Floor of the Earth

There is a verse in Psalm 73 that speaks of the tongue and how it ‘sweeps’ at a level and height that ‘scoops’ up the heart and mind of those who knowingly or unknowingly walk over, on, pass, around or near the evil spewing from the mouths of people with evil intent. How the evil of what they are saying seems to explain all the troubles they are having in their lives. How the ‘solution’ to cure their ills is not just to blame others, but to do something about it.

It disturbs my conscience to write about these evil men in America’s Federal Government choosing to target sick and dying babies. How Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk reveled in snatching cancer research money out of the grasps of tiny fingers that couldn’t even completely latch onto the pinkie finger of their mothers. These two slobbering men were giddy with the stroke of their ink pens. Slashing away the ‘final’ hope of a child’s life while all their compliant Republican fools looked on with gleam in their eyes.

Tongue draggers is quite the appropriate description for these government men and women that Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk enlisted for the tasks of the nature I explained above. Sometimes our mouths do get sticky when we aren’t drinking enough water. ‘A tongue dragging the Earth’ is indicative of simple minds being caught in an enticing oration that explains maybe just one part of why a person is not achieving goals in their lives; it being why they fall for such callous calamitous tomfoolery.

Something I need to say everyone I’m sure all is aware of? Did everybody notice that ‘tongue dragging the Earth’ means that ‘evil is lower than the good’ that meets us at eye level? Stay sharp and wary of those looking to entice you with reasons that ultimately if you accept them, will lead to your destruction. Not theirs. Yours.

That is not a danger that is the responsibility of others to warn those simple minded fools about! Fuck mirrors and inward reflecting that is meant to reason a person back to their senses! No! It is not the fault of the oppressed to avoid the snares of the oppressor!

It is not the baby that needs to beg a grown rich man or woman to let me live! It is not the teenage girl or boy that is responsible to fight off being sexually abused by a grown man or woman! It is not the hungry that must justify why they should be fed! It is not the sick that needs to justify why they need a doctor! It is not the crippled that needs to justify why they can’t work! It is not the grandmother or the grandfather that needs to justify why they need help to feed their grandchildren!

Answer this. Why Republicans NEVER justify why the ‘RICH’ need monetary assistance?

Regain your footing Americans. Your steps have well-nigh ‘slipped’.

GROUND WATER SKY

Ground Water Sky

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

Founding Statement: There comes a precious moment in time that all life drops the ignorance of superiority. When the ground realizes it needs the water to survive. The tree realizes it needs the ground to hold it in place. The air realizes it needs the tree to replenish the oxygen it desperately needs to create the weather patterns that climatizes the Earth. Responsibilities are intertwined because a living planet depends on every element to function according to its purpose.

Mammals pretend that they’re more sophisticated than any living breathing planet, and thus conclude that liberties can be taken with all three essential elements. The ignorance of mammals I’m afraid is a contradiction of their celebrated intelligence. Intelligence that informs mammals they aren’t required to be simple creatures that fulfill their purpose, but creatures that can take actions harmful to the elements that are dedicated to their stated purpose. Mammals believe such devotion constrains their freedom to live as they please.

This revelation and the antagonistic approach mammals have decided upon against the elements will be simplified in this digital periodical. All the talk of unity will be broken down into useful parts that will be easy to understand and implement. Know this my fellow mammals, all forms of life owe it to each other to care for one another. It’s just that mammals have enjoyed the echo chamber of approval from other mammals because the elements never raised their voice. We now know for certain the elements do have a voice, and they have registered their collective disapproval of the selfish nature of mammals…

Issue 22: Hold the Line Means? Where We Have Been. Where We Must Go!

In ‘Warfare’ as Sun Tzu would say in, ‘The Art of War’, to paraphrase this vital spiritual written work. ‘To traverse great and small distances, where danger and narrow spots of security exist, it doesn’t secure our chances if we belie the fact that we must pass across open ground and choke points, which we know life and death is waiting for us to stumble and not keep our sure footing, to arrive at the place where our journey is crowned a success’.

In other words, it is fine and encouraged that Democrats must all gather to discuss ‘waypoints’ along the journey. It doesn’t mean we are arguing about the destination. It means we all agree on the destination, and it may be that some of us have to spit up to assure ‘many’ of us get there by different routes. By no means we should let the ‘Republicans’ who are chasing away the ‘goodness’ of Democrats helping those in need, be allowed to succeed.

Remember what evil we are fighting! We are not fighting amongst ourselves! We are fighting the evil that is the Republican Party and Donald J. Trump! The evil Donald J. Trump sicced on babies with cancer by stealing their money, research money, that was their last lifeline at a chance to live. Stealing food by siccing his attack dog, I mean DOGE dog Elon Musk, to snatch food out of the hands of severely malnourished poor children all over the world by eliminating USAID.

Donald J. Trump stealing MEDICARE, MEDICAID dollars to give to the rich. Yes. MEDICARE and MEDICAID dollars don’t fall like ‘manna’ from the sky! That money is from your hard earned paychecks. I’d have more respect for the Republicans if they just send a notice to every household in America telling us where to go and line up, like a bread line literally, to give our money to a skinning and grinning fat, ugly, buffoonish insanely rich White man!

Yeah. When did you last receive an invite to eat at the ‘rich man’s’ table? I bet you don’t remember because one was never delivered to your door.

Now, back to strategy. In war, ground may be gained and then lost again. That is normal people! We just reinforce, resupply, shore up the reasons why we’re fighting and get back to the front lines.

Of course, the Democrats in the Senate did the right thing to reopen the Federal Government! Democrats shouldn’t and better not mind disagreements within the ranks. I seem to remember scripture saying something like, ‘In the multitude of counselors there is safety’. Decisions will come. Let’s not forget that the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ from the Republicans and Donald J. Trump has caused this crisis. Don’t let the ‘Legacy Media’ twist things or ‘flip the script’ Democrats. The Republicans caused this healthcare crisis!

I’m going to say this now so that everybody knows where I stand. The Republicans are stealing money from the United States Treasury!

American Citizens! You do not get to stick your hand in the cookie jar and say you deserve millions of dollars because somebody looked at you ‘cross eyed’! Americans, you have got to give Democrats back control of the Federal Government. If not, the Republicans are going to let Donald J. Trump and his lackies steal as much of ‘our’ money as he can while laughing in our faces at ‘GREAT GADSBY’ PARTIES!

No? Keep looking. More of those sickening parties are coming while your children are starving. You’ll see.

Part One: Let the Ground Do What It Do

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

Prologue:

(That feeling Mother Sayer told me about has come over me. Now that I have felt it; let’s keep it moving she said. The planning for her idea is still coming out of Sarah W. Certainty’s mind. Thrown like debris from a Category 5 Hurricane that one can either dodge and not get hurt, or stand there firmly on the ground and catch every cascading thought because when that wind stops, act like those ideas may not come again with the next Hurricane.

Mother Sayer doesn’t speak in philosophical terms or drone about speaking incantations. There is no magic you may conjure she says. There is only the work you put into your blessings to not make the ‘First Father’ a fool for choosing you as his vessel to bring his creation into the world. Fashion is ‘cover’ for his likeness. That’s something the First Father embraced after the fiasco in his lovely and perfectly arrayed ‘Garden of Eden’. So don’t mess it up she told me.

Alright I said. I have to begin somewhere and you said I picked the right places to begin. Mother Sayer is supportive and I’ve learned to leave it at that, Sarah says to herself. Now, I’ve got 3 candidates that I’ve chosen. One is all over the place her instructor says, but she is frighteningly original in her clothier drawings across even personality she thinks. That, I have to see Sarah says. The other two are still in K-12 schools. One is about to graduate middle school with an eye for old English flare. The last one is going through the motions in his neighborhood that doesn’t uplift gay leanings. Sarah thinks now is the time to get them away from the influences that could crush their gifts.

Uoherbhai, you and I will go see all 3 of them. We won’t take no for an answer either.).

——————————Not A Rescue Mission————————————-

Sarah W. Certainty: Let’s travel to the furthest one on our list shall we Uoherbhai. That way we can present our case quickly to her, and then move on to the next 2 fields to pluck them before they settle into thorny ground.

Uoherbhai: Do you even know if she will drop out of school to work with us?

Sarah W. Certainty: I don’t know this. Wait. I don’t need her to drop out before she finishes her Master’s. We are going to spend time over 2 days looking at all her drawings. Her creations. Her life and by that I mean every picture she has ever taken to get an idea if she has that energy we seek.

Uoherbhai: Wait. Her pictures? What about her pictures would tell us anything?

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh Uoherbhai. You don’t know, of a truth, about what pictures mean? Let me see a picture of you. I know you have a picture in your purse don’t you? Take it out. Let me see it.

————————————–Pause——————————————————

(Uoherbhai is starting to consider what ‘truth’ about a picture she is going to hear from Sarah. Maybe Sarah thinks she is going to solve a crime or something by catching something in the background. Something in the picture that tells what time of day it was taken. What?).

Uoherbhai: Here’s one I took of myself with some friends of mine.

Sarah W. Certainty: ‘U-Her’ (Sarah calls Uoherbhai to keep the conversation moving.). I will tell you what I see in your picture. You are playing along with your friends. By that I mean your personality is trying not to upset everybody else by your brooding and standoffish nature. You barely cracked a smile. That says you didn’t want to ruin the enjoyment everyone else was having.

Uoherbhai: Okay, okay, I get it. Sort of.

Sarah W. Certainty: U-her, I want you to do something for me. I need you to start letting go of all the things that other human beings do to put people down. Because this world is great at discarding people who don’t give them what they need to enjoy their lives. It is never our ‘job’ to make other people’s lives better by diminishing ourselves. Do you understand?

Uoherbhai: Yes, I get that. Aren’t we intending to do that to what’s her name?

Sarah W. Certainty: Hedgie Fletts Steirlyght. Her program of study is the Masters in Fine Art and Communication.

Uoherbhai: Okay. Unusual name. Maybe her parents naming her that name had a hand in forming her personality. The Master’s program maybe, is possibly where she pointed her compass to regain control of the rumblings in her own heart. Just saying.

Sarah W. Certainty: Might you say? I say all the better. You know where I came from U-her. My parents didn’t steer me in no direction. They ‘trained’ me up in the normal things every child should receive like manners, respect, spirituality. (Sarah sees U-her looking at her in a disbelieving way when she mentioned spirituality so she addresses it.). Yes, U-her, even spirituality exists in a home where the head deals in organized crime.

Uoherbhai: You got me. I was thinking things of a derogatory nature because your parents do make their living from the mob. Sorry. I’m learning subtlety as I go. Ah. Do you really want me there? I mean I don’t know what I can offer.

Sarah W. Certainty: Huh? (Sarah sighs at U-her. Mother Sayer said, ‘do not take the directness of your people as confrontational. It is a sign that they are on board with you. They want you to succeed. So help them help you do just that’.). As you have probably learned already about me, I consume information from the people around me and my environment. What I need from you U-her is what I put you on my team for. I need you to feed me information about behaviors. Don’t look so surprised. Introverts always absorb, and interpret, the mannerisms of the people around them.

Uoherbhai: Okay. You know what you have with me. How do you know so much about me that quickly though?

Sarah W. Certainty: Your picture told me. A little picture joke. Poses? Females always pose for pictures even more than males do. The picture helps fill in the ‘profile’. Look. I don’t have the time right now to explain relationship building, so you just have to keep being you and we’ll stay alert to every clue ‘Hedgy’ gives us about herself.

Uoherbhai: Alright. I’m learning more about how that is done right now I see.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, don’t worry about it. Imagine what I had to learn from Mother Sayer. She possesses more knowledge, expertise and just plain ole common folksy sense that a doctoral thesis could be compiled about her.

Uoherbhai: Double spaced right? Mother Sayer. She is an extraordinary woman. I also would agree with that. She saw something in me too, and immediately moved me up in The ARC.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know U-her. That’s why you’re with me now as I build out my dream. I want to build it with you, but I must tell you that I will also build it without you. You understand?

Uoherbhai: I do. I know both of your types.

Sarah W. Certainty: Excuse me?

Uoherbhai: The type of women that make sure they take care of themselves and who they have in their family. You don’t have children Sarah, but I know you are just as fierce as a lioness with three young scooting along by your side.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh. Right. Sorry for the aggression.

Uoherbhai: Don’t be. Aggression is good according to Wall Street, or is it greed? Anyway. I expected it, and I expect more of it.

————————————-Arrival in New York City, New York————————————

(New York city, New York. What goes on in this culturally diverse city where the legends are known, and many of them legends were likely inflated. Still, there is no dispute about the history of this city. The human energy that was grounded deep in the Earth here, and served as an irresistible draw to those that could match that energy and expand it. Wow! Just the creativity from hordes of different nationalities pouring all they had into multiple industries with all of them eventually coming together to make this city vibrantly interconnected. That must have been an incredible time just to be a witness to it all.

Pratt Institute started contributing to increasing the fundamental qualities that should govern life here in New York City and beyond in the year 1887. Sarah knows from her gatherings with Mother Sayer how progress was made long ago. It was simply done by word of mouth. Once something was found out it was shared. Maybe just copied by people just passing by. Farming. How to dig a well. Even how to do people wrong was observed and eagerly repeated. So, there are no illusions about what human beings have spread across America and other nations have done across the world in their societies. Sarah lets U-her know to keep an open mind about people and what they ‘absorbed’ from their gatherings.

Don’t expect anything from anybody when you show up out of the blue. Even if we have the right opportunity for her and the other two on our little road trip. Sarah remembers Mother Sayer admonishing her to keep the laudation to a minimum. The initial meeting should be ‘you’ meaning Sarah to be less overwhelming as possible. Not too much information about the company or the opportunity she will offer.

Okay. That’s nice. Just be nonchalant then.).

Sarah W. Certainty: (The flight from Louisville, Kentucky was pleasantly normal. Nothing different there. I don’t feel like a woman with power. Yet.). U-her, let’s allow the line to die down before we leave the plan. We’re not seated in first class you know.

Uoherbhai: (This flight had too many people on it. My row buddy was quite talkative. I hope I wasn’t rude by nodding courteously and putting in my earbuds.). Yes Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: (All the normal things are done in an airport, and the car service takes them to the hotel.). U-her, let’s get something to eat and plan our day for tomorrow. I know a nice place downtown that’s not too expensive. I got to do what Mother Sayer tells me. ‘You’re not on vacation Sarah’, she said.

Uoherbhai: (All you get from U-her is a smile and a nod of compliance and off they are to the restaurant.). This is good.

Sarah W. Certainty: What? A chicken sandwich? You didn’t even get some fries to go with it.

Uoherbhai: Just trying to keep it lighthearted and my stomach safe, mind you. I just arrived in a new city; you do realize that?

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, okay. I see Black folk coming out of you. Got it. You could be correct playing this thing cautiously. Oh well, I did hear you order and just got some salmon, asparagus and white wine. Alcohol does balance out any possible ‘bug’ going from one climate to the next. Mother Sayer did clue me in on that superstition.

Uoherbhai: We do have a lot of them, and if you’re thinking none of them can be proven true by the scientific method. You are probably right. That still wouldn’t matter to us ah, Black folk. We still practice them just like we practice our faith in God.

Sarah W. Certainty: (With dinner over and the ride back to the hotel in a cab. Sarah and U-her have rooms on the same floor. The little strategy session takes place with U-her in her room. ‘Always be training’, Sarah. She runs Mother Sayer back across her mind.). Your room is nice U-her. What do you think? Hedgie (pronounced ‘Hed,gy’) is a White young woman that dresses in gothic style clothing.

Uoherbhai: Well, I think we should be expressionless and walk around admiring and respecting her space. Don’t stare at her clothing. Don’t give off any impression that we aren’t comfortable. Let her know by our actions that we see her and we hear her.

Sarah W. Certainty: Done. I will ask her if she has any pictures of herself and if she does can we see them.

Uoherbhai: When she does ask you why. You will say that we often assess our business partners by a holistic approach. It’s not a judgment, but a chance for us to get to know you better. Just, we know anyone can show you a glossy brochure. Our environment where you will be working is lovely. We just like to be as plain as we can be about who we are.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s good. We’ll play off each other as women of different races that aren’t catty or acting like we got dicks instead of pussies.

Uoherbhai: Good visual.

Sarah W. Certainty: I love it when we can talk just straight out in the open. I’ll see you for breakfast. After that, we’ll get started on our day getting out to Brooklyn to meet Hedgie.

Uoherbhai: Good night Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: Sleep well U-her.

————————————-Arrival at Pratt Institute———————————————

(So, this is what it’s like to be on the grounds where diligent harvesting has happened. From the fields where the seeds of curiosity were sown. This gathered bounty of knowledge is a diverse harvest. Many different disciplines (crops) have fed and filled many minds, and continue to fill, thousands of minds and souls. We just come to see the result of this great pasture of renewals that occur year round on one particular student.

Now as Sarah thinks to herself that every person comes to the table with a taste for only what they like. Hedgie (Hedgy she has already nicknamed her) has chosen a field of study to master what she believes is planted in her. Hedgy is in the Fashion Collection + Communication, MFA. The Masters of Fine Art is a tell first of all about her level of commitment. U-Her I want to explore that somewhere along the timeline of this first meeting with her.

Sarah is loving this in a motherly way. Sarah knows Mother Sayer would describe it as an ‘elder’ guiding the young in the ways that are beneficial and hopefully leads to good outcomes. Sarah has almost completely internalized what it means to know who you are, and be able to be mentally adept with the mission at hand and beyond. Keep stoking that Italian fire girl. Sarah says with a restrained but confident smile across her face. Let’s go build out your team.).

Sarah W. Certainty: U-her. Who is our contact in the Registrar’s office?

Uoherbhai: No contact. Just walk in and ask their procedures to visit a student.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay. Well do you have any idea how friendly they are? Anything other than just walking off the street looking to talk to a student?

Uoherbhai: Well, if I had to guess. I would say they would want us to check in first. You know, see some credentials. Get a phone number to The ARC. Verify our legitimacy before they would ask any student to come down to see us. You can’t be too careful these days with liability and all.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well. That was a good rundown of what we should expect. Makes sense to me.

Uoherbhai: You have your business card? I’ll do the talking. It will be more professional and create the right atmosphere.

Sarah W. Certainty: How important I am and how valuable my time is, seeing that I came all this way from Louisville, Kentucky to basically interview a potential fashion designer.

Uoherbhai: Correct. I wish we had our ‘Better Business Bureau software and protocol suite of services’ already up and running. This is exactly the situation where it could enhance our credibility. A downloadable 90 second screed showing all the bonafides of The ARC with the executive staff and all the numbers from finance, products, services and position across industries.

Sarah W. Certainty: Just a few handouts is all we have.

Uoherbhai: We’ll make magic with what we got. We got this.

(With that Sarah and U-her head over to the Registrar’s office to begin the process of establishing the name of The ARC and hopefully when this meeting happens and concludes well; it’ll be a solid pipeline for heads up about any talented person that may fit what we’re attempting to accomplish at The ARC.)

———————————————-The Registrar’s Office————————————-

Uoherbhai: Hi. We’re here from a Products and Services Company. The ARC Incorporated. We’ve heard so much about your college here and wanted to get to know a little more about the fields of study. Is there someone here that can help us?

The Receptionist: (A work study student is currently at the desk and she is looking quite interested in what we have to say.). Yes. Give me a moment. Who may I say is visiting us today? My name is Janea. I work up front here in between classes.

Uoherbhai: I am Uoherbhai and this is one of the executives at The ARC, Ms. Sarah Certainty.

Sarah W. Certainty: Pleased to meet you.

Janea: Hello Ms. Sarah. Around this time of day, the late morning, it is pretty busy here in the complex. Wait here. I’ll see if someone is available to help you.

Sarah W. Certainty: U-Her, how do you think this will go? When she comes back?

Uoherbhai: Right now? This is basically an in-person cold call as the industry would label it. I think we should transition to what we discussed last night. This Janea. I think she likes to have a little fun. Let’s prove it.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay then. Do your thing baby girl.

(Janea comes back to her position in the Registrar’s office in the Student Center. This is how it goes when the answer you’re about to give doesn’t further the interests of the ‘party’ in front of her. Janea’s body language tells it as it should. She speaks what U-her already knew she would say.).

Janea: My boss has a prior appointment that will arrive soon. She wants to know if maybe we can set something up at a later date?

Uoherbhai: That’s truly understandable Ms. Janea. Look, we’re going to be in town a couple more days. We’d like to take a look around the community. See a few sights. Get a clue where the good places to eat are. Could you help us out with that? You know. Point us in the right direction?

Janea: You show right. If you buying the drinks as well?

Sarah W. Certainty: Can’t wear a sexy outfit and not have a good time. That would bring shame to the game girl.

Janea: (Janea’s smile cannot be misinterpreted. She’s in.). What hotel are you staying? I can meet you there around 8 pm.

Uoherbhai: At the Artezen Hotel. Just ask for us at the front desk. We’ll come down. You know and we’ll be off to have some fun.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah adds a little ‘rider’ to the Mother Sayer wisdom about always be training. ‘Always be learning from your people too Sarah. She says to herself’.). Don’t be afraid to show me, you know, what you don’t want to show me. I was raised by a tough dude.

Janea: (This is when Janea’s ‘get to know’ energy kicks into high gear about this White woman telling her to spare no experience.). I’m sure you can take care of yourself. You don’t look American to me.

Sarah W. Certainty: Excellent eye for detail you have there Janea. I’m Italian. All that fire you may or may not have heard about Italians. I can verify it quickly for you if you like?

Janea: No need. I scoped you out the moment you walked in here. You a real Nig, ah, well. Your energy is drawing and might I be forward? Crushing.

Uoherbhai: Well, let’s not discover too much too soon now. We’ll see you tonight around 8 at the hotel?

Janea: I’ll definitely be there ladies.

To be Continued………

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME RELIGION

Give Me That Ole Time Religion?

Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 32: Sing Today to Sing Tomorrow!

It is okay to sing and rejoice for believing in yourselves. I can see that the Democratic Party and Independent voters have learned many things over the past year or so. And this point is critical. ‘The room may be filled with troubles, or the list of things that must be done is difficult and time consuming. The truth that is embedded in the ‘trials of life’ is that accomplishments will come if we work the situation (field)’.

Why are we admonished spiritually with parables that tells us we must ‘till’ the land? That we must ‘tend’ to our crops as they ‘grow’? That we must ‘water’ them and see to it they are ‘planted’ at the right time to ensure the ‘harvest’? Why? There is the greatest question again. Why?

Bear with me a minute. These points you will see again in some form in all of my stories. Why did the colonizers use, or ask Native Americans to guide them, to help them, cross the Appalachian Mountains before the onset of winter? Because the way to do things that results in progress, like staying alive, were known to Native Americans.

I advise myself and my friends. All those that I love to ‘stall’ their thoughts when troubles seem to arise faster than you can categorize and address them. Like what this nurse said at Lincoln Trail. ‘Pause’. Just stop and take a breath. Take a moment to let yourself catch up. Then, take it one task at a time. Take one step at a time. Complete one rotation at a time.

It worked didn’t it? Everybody? Did it work? Yes it did! Crossing a worn trail is smart. You know that working together reduces the workload of any task! Sticking together can run off any bully! Yeah, a bully may hit one of you, but the bully can’t hit all of you at the same time!

Ganging up on ‘EVIL’ is a ‘FAIR FIGHT!’ Yes? Yes it fucking is!

I’m singing ‘Give me that ole time religion’ and jutting my lower jaw out like the slaves of old. Letting the wind flow in and out of their lungs in glorious ‘acappella’ unity. It filled and expanded not just that ‘shack’, but brought the energy of hope to that room. The energy of strength, love and commitment that spread outward! It spread folks.

Enduring ‘trials’ together brings us together. Don’t let cruelty be the shared experiences that Republicans say is all ‘people’ that don’t matter deserve. That’s what you want to be the defining ‘CHARACTER’ of America? That’s what you want this century in America to be known as?

America chose an immoral, bloated, buffoonish soul starved demonic presence to be President of the United States again. That is our ‘situation’ now. We have shown that we, Americans, citizens, are the sleeping giant that are ‘out’ of bed now!

Out of bed? Really? That ‘bed’ was basically turned over with us tossed out on the floor like a ‘diamond’ in boot camp! We won’t lay down again until every election everywhere, at any time over the next few years where a Republican is running is challenged, and fought for and won by a Democrat or an Independent.

We will fight Donald J. Trump each and every day until his term ends in January 2029! Metaphorically, blow for blow, and we will keep swinging until we tap in the next citizen leader to keep on swinging after that! That’s right. I will be in the rotation on this website. I will be doing all I can to ensure that America never fades from the face of the Earth. Ever!

Thank you everybody! Sing with me now. C’mon, let’s sing.

‘Give me that ole time religion, give me that ole time religion, give me that ole time religion, it’s good enough for meeeeee!’

The THIRD Round: When You Just Don’t Know What You’re Talking About!

More of what I discovered from nearly 60 years of living in the midst of unknowns. I know I didn’t understand the strength of a large family. I knew something seemed off when the adult responsible started blaming the ones without the power and responsibility. I know it wasn’t right when I saw the ‘LEGACY MEDIA’ finding fault with the poor instead of the wealthy. I’m dam sure I didn’t need someone to tell me that ‘sowing’ leads to ‘consumption’ to which my life ‘derives’ its’ health and thoughts.

My definition of ‘DERIVE’ is, ‘the source of what I have consumed becomes a part of what drives the functioning of my body; the resulting effects my mind produces are directly related to the materials I place before my mind to absorb; the tendencies and leanings correlate to the outcomes of reasonings’.

When you don’t know what you’re talking about you would think that Galatians 6:7 simply means you will receive some unknown ‘similar’ act for committing a sinful act. That’s not it! (Emphasis on extending the ‘it’). You’re sowing an issue of life, whether good or evil, that when it is at the time of ‘harvest’ it ‘blooms’ in your body to nourish the purpose for which you planted it.

I told you not to read my website. Spiritual teachings and understandings are not subject to replication and spewing from a false altar here. Not on www.landcause.com.

You’re not planting ‘seeds’ in the Earth. You’re planting seeds in your body fool! That’s why people do not believe in ‘karma’ or ‘fate’. I tell you I have seen, with my own eyes, my father, live his life eating all the food and stuffing his belly while all his children looked at him hungrier than a rat trying to chew through steel just to get a bite of cheese! His reaping? When he died. He died the skinniest man in the house on a hospital gurney on loan from the VA paralyzed with sores up and down his ass!

So when all these Republicans, and I mean all of them, tell you that you shouldn’t pool your resources by piling into a house to save money, they are hell bent on making you make erroneous decisions to destroy yourself! The ‘DIVINE’ tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:10-12 that banding together is a tried and true method to withstand the trials of life. So, when Vice President J.D. Vance makes derogatory statements about a spiritual ‘technique’ proven time and time again throughout time to be successful. What should you say to that stupid motherfucker?

Tell these stupid ass pricks they can say whatever they want about you my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. I’ll give you the response I was taught by my community. The Black community. ‘When you start paying my bills and paying my salary; then you can tell me what to do’.

You didn’t listen to Black Folks! We told everybody the ‘plays’ from the ‘Manual of Racists and White Supremacists’. Black folks sent in ‘commando teams’ hundreds of years ago and stole that manual out of one of the White Supremacists lynch houses of worship. All we do is update it with the variations the Republicans come out with, like we don’t recognize that they just changed a few words, but it’s still the 1^st edition circa 1619. Oh, it’s bound in leather!

Back now to letting yourself be ‘beguiled’ by a presentation of ‘fine dining’ and the use of ‘disarming’ words as Bill Maher did when he said, ‘Trump was a charming man’. How grossly indifferent can a belly full of choice meats and expensive drinks cause a person to betray the ‘oppressed’ in America!

Reread Proverbs 23:1-8 if you are confused by what I just said!

Everybody needs to take their butts over to their voting booths and blow out these Republicans in Virginia, New Jersey, New York and anywhere else there is voting tomorrow the 4^th of November 2025!

VOTE DEMOCRAT!

Fool me twice. The shame is on us now! Get your dignity back America. That ballroom is not being built so common people can have a meal of choice meats and expensive drinks I guarantee that!

It is being built for poor people? Oh, you still don’t know what you’re talking about!

The SECOND Round: When Brothers and Sisters are enemies

That’s the shit I was warning about my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. Vice President of the United States J.D. Vance just spewed such venomous disdain for people of Spaniard Ancestry that it makes the phrase, ‘I told you so’, look like learning by heart the A, B, C’s, in kindergarten.

J.D. Vance just dusted off an old tried, but true Klu Klux Klan rallying cry. Do you remember Black folks? When slaves were stuffed, corralled into one ‘shack’? Okay, pretend I’m talking to the Black folks that their fat bank accounts are emptied every week for survival reasons. A little sarcasm there. I’m talking to all the people that remember where they came from.

What J.D. Vance said about, ’20 people of Spaniard Ancestry living in one house’. Is that not reminiscent of the good ole days of White Supremacy? I know, current days now.

Yeah, I’m sure J.D. Vance will claim ‘ignorance’ of history, but his ‘venomous disdain’ will and did reach the connective evil of White Supremacy as he knew it would. I bet you that!

That’s why my post about my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry developing leaders and having allies is so important. Wow though! I must say this for the record.

I would have never thought that I would be a ‘witness’ to such venomous evil being practiced right out in public for all Americans to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears! I listened to the stories my elders told me of how White Supremacists terrorized Black folks. Just wow! I’m actually experiencing it for myself.

This shit is incredible!

Now my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry now do you believe us? Oh, you think it stops there when it is pointed out? Think again. Remember this. White Supremacists have whole networks of ‘Lynch Houses of Church Worship’ to plan every vile and evil thing imaginable against every one of us. Don’t get it twisted!

Let me get serious for a moment with the mental health aspect of White Supremacy. All of you know what I’ve wrote about my father and how he couldn’t handle the constant evil of White Supremacy as he turned that evil onto his own family and destroyed himself in the process. It doesn’t matter the accommodations a particular environment has nor the refinements of the surrounding living space.

Each and every person doesn’t always choose to decide that in spite of the evil that wishes to destroy me; I will choose to always turn toward the righteousness that is the possible goodness in all of us. Everyone doesn’t possess that defiance towards not letting evil conquer them! That weakness can creep upon a soul in despair swiftly. I’m not offering excuses for anybody that turns on their family. If you’re responsible for someone else, I strongly advise you to turn toward a higher authority. A spiritual authority of your own beliefs.

I heard whispers and even jokes among my classmates about living in the projects growing up. I didn’t understand completely what they meant then. I certainly understood them when I became a man. All our parents had to write an address on an application. It was on where they worked. Where they applied for government services. Where their kids checked out books in the library.

I learned that was all about knocking people down and keeping them down. My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry please don’t let White Supremacists tell you to make your Black Brothers and Sisters your enemy.

Be well.

The SECOND Round: When Power Plays Dumb: The Scheme is to Believe You Are Dumb

The Senator from Alabama, the ‘Honorable’ Katie Britt, said on CNN with Dana Bash that 130,000 Alabamians have no need of the Affordable Care Act subsidies because they are millionaires gaming the system.

That’s what she said and Dana Bash just let her go. Just let that Alabama Senator slide. Let the Senator go without a comeback to her blatant lie! How do I know this? A simple internet search told me. A little birdie didn’t have to land on my shoulder and whisper it in my ear. Now, how many millionaire households actually live in Alabama?

A bit over 94,000. Obviously, 94,000 is less than 130,000.

All my great and loyal users who have signed up on www.landcause.com know I have the utmost respect for each and every one of them. As everybody knows, I’m from Birmingham, Alabama. I grew up in the projects. I know what those White Supremacists have done to my beautiful home state of my birth. All the projects rejected, like the major airport in Atlanta, Georgia that should have been in Birmingham. All kinds of projects like protecting the steel industry. The University of Alabama Birmingham should be a world class medical research hub! All those and much more Alabama lost to the stupidity of ‘ignorance’. Yeah. Racism is ‘ignorance’.

You know my post about great ‘societies’ lost forever from the face of the Earth for no other reasons but by variations of ‘ignorance’ and lack of ‘vision’!

Stay with me now. Check out the ABC guest host Johnathan Karl of This Week with George Stephanopoulos as he pressed United States Congress Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson gave a reason why he didn’t swear in the recently elected congress member Grijalva because the other Republicans he did had brought their family members. Johnathan Karl, quick on his feet, said ‘if Grijalva brought her family would you swear her in’? Mike Johnson obviously said, ‘we don’t have a date set’, ‘she was elected after Congress was in recess’.

That’s what you do with liars in power! You call them on their stupid ass bluffs right on the spot! You don’t just sit there like Dana Bash did and let the lie live! That’s why nothing is ever believed because these people asking the questions don’t hold elected officials accountable. Is it because they don’t want to piss them off? Scared they won’t come back on their shows? What is it? Me personally. I’d rather have a reputation that I can’t be fed bullshit and calling it beef stroganoff.

I don’t care whether it’s Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Independent. Yes, I advise all Democrats and Independents to stick to the truth. Republicans have an incentive to lie all the time, and it is because the truth is inconvenient to them. The truth just gets in the way!

There will never be 130,000 Alabamians receiving subsidies from the Affordable Care Act falsely because they are millionaires. Never! I just gave you the truth about how many millionaires actually live in the State! This is insane!

Let me say this as clearly as I can. If you’re on television regardless of the platform, stop letting these politicians and every other crackpot get ‘airtime’ spewing lies! You are not dumb. Stop making them think you are dumb. Republicans are about to literally kill, stress out, and destroy thousands of families because they gave millionaires and billionaires all the medical tax dollars.

And where did those medical tax dollars come from? Right. You!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Matrix of Life: The Continuum of Knowledge

The Third Round: Whatever Happened to the Great Nations and Conquerors of the World We Read about in World History?

First let’s get the facts straight. Who is leading the ‘balance’ against knowledge in America? The Republican Party is leading the ‘ignorance’ movement in America.

‘Ignorance is the ‘balance’ to knowledge’!

Republicans are seeking to restrict our institutions of learning in America. Republicans aren’t just going after higher education. Republicans are dumbing down ‘education’ or ‘knowledge’ as a badge of honor! No? The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, is a Republican. Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party are going after ‘knowledge’ in America.

Soon, if the Republicans haven’t already done it, will rewrite established education. The fact that 2 + 2 = 4 will soon be 2 + 2 = 97.

Now, listen to me. The reason why Rome, or Greece, or the Mayans, Norse Greenland, the Kingdom of Aksum. The Minoan Civilization. The Mississippian Culture. Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloans) flourished in the American Southwest have all vanished now is because of what?

This next statement is important. All of the included list above declined by universal scholarly conclusions of war, trade routes vanished, social and economic strife or just some made up ‘guessed’ reason that the environment collapsed.

Are you serious? These are the reasons learned historians. Doctoral degrees holding anthropology scholars and historical geniuses have presented to us, their descendants, that this is what killed those lauded and celebrated nations and societies?

How fucking stupid did they think we are? Did these ‘wise’ stoics and educated men and women think we wouldn’t question their conclusions?

I have spent enough time researching this historical point. I have also meditated over it extensively. These societies didn’t ‘vanish’ for those reasons only. Those societies vanished because they were ‘uneducated’!

—–Uneducated—–Foolish—–Ignorant—–Selfish—–Misguided—–Zero Vision—–

The Seventh Ordeal of denying the Continuum of Knowledge. Take this shit seriously!

That is what destroyed those great societies we so love to read about, but have never truly questioned their demise!

Let me ask you. Do you really know why our education system is intricate in America? I didn’t say perfect. It has some flaws, but our educational system is layered and flow charted for a reason. Our thirst for ‘data’ is unmatched. Why? Because it helps to fuel our discovery of new educational and applicable knowledge.

Now this is the shameful part of America, and why I believe our growth can never get past 20 percent a year.

Question: What occupation, in all its forms, is responsible for sustaining America? I know you don’t have a clue. It is!

—–Teachers——Professors—–Trade Schools—–Journeymen(people)—–Lay Scholars—–

Republicans are trying to close the Federal Department of Education. Republicans are trying to rewrite curriculum to make us all dumber. All our educational institutions from K-12 to colleges to trade schools to whatever legitimate places to learn are what sustains a society.

Republicans need to be voted out of office at every level of government from local to State to Federal. Don’t think for one second Republicans love America.

What did Maya Angelo say? ‘When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time’!

America isn’t too precious not to end up on the ‘trash pile’ of ignorant and forgotten nations.

It doesn’t matter if you discovered something! If you can’t pass it down, or along, or sideways, or in a painting, or whatever! We are in a ‘continuum’ because we pass knowledge along! Get that through your thick fucking skulls you White Supremacists and White Privilege assholes! Keeping something to yourself is not just self-destructive. It is ‘collateral damage’ on nuclear weapons detonated steroids!

By the way. Now you know. Pay the people that actually got us to 250 years. Those that educate us!

The Third Round: Cruise Ships and Civilian Aviation are Next!

My soul is troubled by what I’m about to tell everybody. The ‘Abomination’ that is in the White House, Donald J. Trump, I fear he has authorized the United States Navy to torpedo Cruise Ships. I believe Donald J. Trump has authorized the United States Air Force to blow civilian aviation, jumbo jets carrying hundreds of passengers, straight out of the skies.

When he does it; I believe the ‘Righteous’ Almighty 6 Republicans on the United States Supreme Court, Jesters, ah Justices, will rule that he has the absolute authority to kill anybody, anywhere in the world!

What? You don’t believe me? What power has the U.S. Supreme Court already given him? There you go!

The U.S. Supreme Court has already told him that whatever he does while in office is legal! Did you forget that? What? Do you really believe Donald J. Trump will stop at speed boats in the Atlantic Ocean? This is too much for you to contemplate? Too much for you to fathom that he, Donald J. Trump, has been unleashed from obeying all laws by America’s Supreme Court? He’s doing it now by ‘knocking’ down all the honor, integrity and high moral standards that America’s military has strived to achieve and hold for hundreds of years!

Now how do we stop Donald J. Trump?

Fortunately it is simple. Authoritarians survive by voters voting back in the same party that put them there! Republicans are the problem! The U.S. Congressional midterms next year will usher in America’s downfall if voters choose to place Republicans back into power!

That’s all I have to say. You only have what I have foreseen and gotten off my heart as it was a burden I was not going to bear alone.

May America wisely choose her fate.

The Second Round: When You Didn’t Want to Know

First of all, it doesn’t matter if you want to know the truth or not because you’re still responsible for the evil happening around your spirit that you are obligated to address. In other words, pretend all you want that you don’t see, hear, or speak to it. It is still your shit. You own it whether you choose to walk around, over, or take a different route. When you start the next day it will be there again right in your path.

I mean you, my Sisters and Brothers of Spaniard Ancestry. Tell me, what was it about us Black people you found overblown in our suffering? Was it the legacy of slavery? Was it the legacy of slave patrols hunting down and returning escaped and freed slaves? Was it the legacy of Jim Crow? Was it the legacy of racism, or the entertainment value of the ‘LEGACY MEDIA’ making all the police brutality seem like it’s Black folk fault?

My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry I know it is troublesome. I know it feels hopeless to fight the enemy of White Supremacy and White Privilege coming at you from all sides in wave after wave. Where my empathy ends is where you don’t fight back. Black folk have sent emissaries, ministers, delegates, liaisons of all ages and types asking you to join the fight for justice. At every plea for help and assistance, you rejected us.

Now, the prevailing sentiment would conclude that your calamity was heralded by loud warnings from our people. Not understanding we’re loud, that is, Black people are boisterous in their culture, warnings and messaging’s. My Sisters and Brothers of Spaniard Ancestry you still should have heeded the message and ignored the sound ‘volume’ of the delivery.

Racial profiling? We warned you. Voting Republican would not save you. We warned you. Scattering your people and dividing your assets is foolhardy. We warned you. Listening to White privilege telling you not to choose leaders is crazy. We warned you. Protesting is the quickest way to draw allies. You didn’t listen and do it like we said.

‘Nonviolence is the balance to violence’!

Be bold in the face of danger. My Black Brothers and Sisters from another Mother didn’t get their heads cracked and their bodies battered for you just to play your music loud at house parties. None of what we strived for was just for us!

I’m 100% Veterans Affairs disabled. I’m United States Army retired. My life would be hell if the Federal Government stays shutdown. I need my earned benefits too! You know what? It is worth it to suffer pain and hardship so that all of us may win. Why? I grew up in the project in Birmingham, Alabama. A father who didn’t give a shit about anybody but himself taught me part of my code. I didn’t know it at the time, but he grew a fire in me that I hated selfishness!

I have never thought only about myself ever in my life! You know. I live a great life now because of my code of giving of my time, effort, empathy, discipline and accountability. That’s part of my code and belief of what an ‘ALPHA MALE’ is!

Stop letting everybody else endure all the hardships for you!

My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. Help us! We need your help! Please join us in fighting this ORDEAL.

WOMAN IS LIFE

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Website: www.landcause.com

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Having limited understanding is saying to yourself as a man that I am not told everything. My ‘HELP MEET’ was not formed in front of me. That tells me a lot right there. It tells me that God in his infinite wisdom knew that I, a man, was not worthy enough to share his divine purpose for the ‘woman’.

So, in my stupidity I sought to downgrade the ‘woman’ in authority. Need I say more? Just look at the history of this world that man has written. It is always slanted to a robust portrayal of the ‘man’ ruling in strength and certainty, and the woman as a subservient figure gazing upon him as a loving mother. This is the history that has distorted the role that the ‘woman’ had as a birthright to from the moment of her creation.

As God said, ‘It is the woman that makes the man complete and God’s creation stable’. In other words, without the woman there is no life! Man without the woman there is no progress. A man that does not know this is a blot to himself. I will give you the ancient meaning of ‘blot’. You do not know it, so stop.

A ‘blot’ in the getting is, ‘an unacknowledged necessity that is ignored in the midst of one seeking vanity or glory not due unto him’. ‘It is behaving in a manner unsuitable to the natural order divinely laid forth by a benevolent creator’. ‘A false sense of something being possible by one person alone in defiance of righteous mandate’.

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 11: There are still those that do not sully their honor!

As I have spoken many times and will speak upon many times to come. Donald J. Trump is not a man to fear. I’ve known soldiers at the rank of buck Privates to Specialist with more presence, strength, ambition, intelligence and know-how that were more fearsome.

Now the Nobel Peace Prize officials would never sully their institute, organization, foundation or whatever you choose to call it by giving an ugly in appearance and ugly in spirit person in Donald J. Trump their spiritual bestowal. Remember the history or the legend of why this man who was an armament manufacturer or creator. What Nobel did when he overheard somebody carve his name in their hearts as a destroyer, a killer, of humanity! Do you not know this history? Why would the Nobel Peace Prize officials award a vile man like Donald J. Trump with the conscience of Nobel? That would destroy the Nobel Prize forever. It would never be able to recover from the shame!

Now to health care again. I don’t know why this keeps coming back up. It’s like vomit. A meal you really enjoyed. Just a virus or sickness bug, a small invisible thing, went down your stomach with it, and now your food is all over the front of your clothes!

Let me say this from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 12:9…He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

It is just what the Democratic Party believes is self-evident. I fought that way too for many years, but the way to fight and have sustained progress is to have something to show for it! People need shit! Like Jesus said again. You can tell people the ‘good news’ all you want, but if they go away with hungry bellies. What do you think will be on their minds? Exactly! A hungry belly!

I remember as a child having rotting teeth in my mouth and my parents unable to take me to the dentist because they couldn’t afford it. Do you want to watch your child sitting by you or in front of you writhing in pain? For whatever aliment!

You’re acting like you don’t remember how it was again. You’re acting like those times of heavy stress and the struggles that came with those excruciating choices with the little ‘wages’ you earned are long gone. Don’t act like you don’t know! I’m glad we’ve fought for a new base of $15 dollars an hour has given you some wiggle room.

A lack of affordable health care will ‘snap’ you back so quick to those times you will really be sorry you or your neighbors voted that ‘abomination’ back into the White House.

‘Place the Abomination that maketh Desolate!’ ORDEAL: TWO

From the authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 28:28…When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.

These TECH BROS are not going to save you. I never believed in fools with money. They destroyed whatever foolishness America hypes them up with every day. I mean Elon Musk, of DOGE infamy, went straight for the health care, the medical research dollars, for babies dying of cancer! Yeah! That’s what your TECH BROS think of you and your babies!

Oh, and the 1, ONE TRILLION dollars, your medical dollars they, the Republicans, are giving to your TECH BROS. Celebrate that shit while you are ‘eyeballing’ your children as they writhe in pain on the floor!

Run that video of Elon Musk dressed like a bad 80’s teenage braindead movie character flinging a chainsaw in the air!

Play that shit over and over on your television as you go to bed at night.

Priceless.

THE SECOND ORDEAL: DESOLATION COMES IN WAVES

THE SECOND ORDEAL

Place the Abomination that Maketh Desolate

The SECOND Round: Desolation comes in waves

As a percentage of household income healthcare is around 30%. If you’re making $15 dollars an hour for 40 hours that’s $600 dollars a week before taxes. That’s $31,200 a year gross pay. Now 30% of $31,200 is $9360.

Are you following where this is headed? Desolation begins at the foundational principles of life. I’m going to expound, a little, on the pillars of Spirituality, wages, family, and community. That’s not the complete list although desolation strikes everywhere all at once.

Now the average employers provides 8 sick days a year. There are around 11 vacation days a year. Now the total number of work days a year is about 260 to 262. Imagine one long term illness and how quick the money runs out. I was desolate for many years when I was young working minimum wage jobs with no skills, so I was like a hawk flying above my head helping me avoid any possible sickness or injury that would bring ruin to my life before it even started.

I’m sure there are millions of Americans still alive today because the Affordable Care Act was passed in the first term of President Obama. Don’t act like you don’t know this because you do.

Go back to those days of taking a ‘THIRD’, a ‘3^rd’ of your paycheck out for health insurance. Do you really not see what President Donald J. Trump and his merry band of Republicans are doing to you? A ‘tapestry of pillars’ that governs life itself is being cut down with ‘scissors’! Not ripped apart with Republican hands anymore, but with fucking scissors!

Desolation is coming when families are sicker because breadwinners, well they do not work when they are struck by illness. Companies suffer and die from a lack of strong competent dedicated healthy workers. Without workers earning paychecks that mom and pop store will have a cascade of events stemming from a lack of paying customers. Communities will start to be abandoned.

How do you think those businesses got to be vacant and boarded up in the center of town? Talk about a hit to the supply chain then. Desolation happens when orders dry up literally. Do you hear me now!

A healthy workforce is vital to the ‘STATE’! Why can’t the Republican Party get that?

Let me take stock of what we believe is left over for us to share? First though, let me remind people of what has been taken from all of us and given to the rich and wealthy in America.

Ready?

Billions of dollars taken from the National Institute of Health for cancer research that is the last hope parents have to save their dying babies. Billions in television, airwaves, internet, social media, satellite communications and streaming platforms to continue to charge Americans more money, restrict free speech, suspend, fire or blackball anyone Donald J. Trump tells them too.

Billions in government tax money contracts given to Donald J. Trump’s friend and stripper of cancer funding research guy Elon Musk. Donald J. Trump traveling around the world on the American taxpayers dime drumming up and being paid billions by foreign governments. Donald J. Trump’s family making money hand over fist off their government connections.

Oh, I’ve saved the best one for last. Give Billionaires and Millionaires over a Trillion dollars of taxpayers money for free! Don’t say it didn’t come from you Americans! Who do you think that Trillion dollar collection plate was passed around to? Is it magic money? Did it just drop out of thin air like ‘manna’ from Heaven into the Federal Government coffers to be doled out only to the wealthy?

No! No! No! It is collected from American taxpayers!

So, when a few Democratic and Independent Senators in the Federal Government get wobbly knees and weak stomachs I want them to remember all that I said above!

Now I was born 10 years later in 1966 after the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott ended in victory. It lasted over a year. Now let me tell you something. I spent 2 tours of combat duty in Afghanistan. That’s 2 periods of 12 months each. My country, America, asked of me to serve in the Army and defend a set of ideals.

What the fuck is the problem now! Every worthy thing, cause, venture, duty, sacrifice, and hardship that is for the betterment of humankind is worth a little suffering. So Donald J. Trump and Republicans that control the Federal House of Representatives, the Senate and the ‘elected’ members of the United States Supreme Court will run up the national debt by over 5 Trillion these next 4 years and these 4 or 5 Democratic Senators are squeamish now?

Tell us poor stupid Americans which part of the table should we wait at to best catch the most crumbs when they fall off the table. If they ever fall off that is. Probably a Republican or two will have to feel sorry for us and wipe some off our way. Don’t hold your breath though.

The Second Round: ‘Stop Being Stupid’?

‘Stop acting stupid’. ‘You’re being real annoying right now’. Even the statement, ‘Why are you crying? If you don’t stop I’ll give you something to cry about’.

All of these life lessons and aphorisms were and still are essential to the ‘continuum’ of knowledge for Black people. To help us avoid a series of decisions in our lives that when we make them they seem to cascade into dreadful ends. For example, when all those White people stormed the United States capital and sacked the place. That was a prime example of when you start acting stupid; a ‘series of stupid decisions or acts just follow one after the other’. It’s never one act of stupidity!

This is what Black people tell our children, our friends, relatives, someone we know casually, an acquaintance or even co-workers that are about to make a huge mistake. See, Black people know that when you do something ‘out of character’ something resembling evil seems to lurch into the opening to make you totally forget who you are. If you were a good person, that is, this is how a lot of our people just bring shame on themselves.

There you have it. This post is short for a very good reason. It is a secret and powerful admonition we have never forgotten amongst our people.

Don’t ‘string together a bunch of stupid acts’ because you’re likely not going to recover all your dignity when the ‘stupidity’ concludes. You’re probably going to lose any respect you’ve built for yourself.

So what did we learn from Black people today? Right.

‘Stop being stupid’!

ISSUE 31: A New Take. Make Sure the ‘One’ Rules Us All?

You like that? My take on the ‘all for one’ lore of the three musketeers. Here’s my take on Marxism. ‘A human life is not lived to allow the exploitation of the labor produced by said life. Would you want to be paid as little as possible in wages (money)? Upon your back is the sustainment of a society. Would you like to always be struggling financially to do the things you want to do for yourself and your family? Your country?

Would it make you feel connected to said society? No it wouldn’t. To finish it all. Would you like to be thought of as a bottle that is no longer valuable once it’s emptied? That in my opinion was the philosophy of Karl Marx.

A societal member should not be exploited or drained of all useful value and labor. Then when that citizen is no more able to contribute. Is the society justified in discarding said citizen? No. The society owes its’ very existence to said citizens. Am I right or am I right?’ End of opinion.

Of course, we owe everything to each other! The Republicans do not believe as I believe. Yes, Marxism states the ruling ‘bourgeoisie’ always seeks to exploit the ‘proletariat’ (look up the meaning of those two words yourself). That is the evil that is still being thrown at us like a live screaming goat that knows what’s about to happen upon landing into a den of lions. We are still falling for the Republicans horseshit bag of steamy smelly disdain for all of us that are not wealthy.

My aren’t we so compliant. My loyal users, readers and wisdom seekers. Reread GMTOTR Issue 30 and tell me that I didn’t tell you it was coming. I cannot restrain a chuckle. Oh, I’m going to ‘git’ to you my brothers and sisters of Spaniard ancestry. Next time. Moving forward for now. Did you really believe that Medicaid money somehow came out of thin air? Is my favorite phrase being, ‘Is it still Magic Money’ now unfounded? What then?

I’m going to pound every point on the ‘distortion’ of Marxism until everyone understands it as simply as I do. ‘At the end of your life. Do you want to be discarded as if all the labor, taxes, vibrancy and support to your God, family, country, political party of choice says you’re owed nothing?’

If you believe that, then we don’t owe cancer stricken children nothing. We don’t owe citizens injured on the job nothing. We don’t owe our precious children a K-12 education. We don’t owe ourselves a country free of foreign or domestic military invaders. No roads. No air travel. No rural hospitals. No obligation to care for our elderly, sick and shut-ins. We don’t owe our military veterans and all who support them nothing.

There it is. I laid it all on you. Republicans care nothing for you if you are not wealthy. I am independent politically, but I lean Democrat. Why? Because I have seen the disdain government can have for the elderly and our sick children. My mother, God rest her soul, had to nearly play deaf, dumb and blind to get Social Security after my ‘Great Tough Guy Father’ left her high and dry. So, don’t tell me the Republicans want a level playing field. Why then do the Republicans always give the wealthy the ‘ball’ at the 7 yard line with goal to go; while they give us poor people the ball at our 1 yard line with 99 yards to go to score a touchdown?

That’s the basic philosophy of Marxism. ‘When you’re born you have already contributed to society. When you are educated you contribute even more. When you provide your ingenuity, labor or start a business you provide even more. Why then when your years of dedicated service to your country is over and you can no longer provide labor you’re considered ‘ineligible’ to receive some of the benefits back from said society you helped keep vibrant?’

I support the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City, New York. Mr. Mamdani heart starts from a glorious place. He may not get to do all the things he wishes to do to help people that are poor, middle class or upward thriving, but even if he does a little. Mr. Mamdani will have a record of goodness that cannot be lied about.

All for the ‘ONE’ indeed. The WEALTHY.

THE FIRST ORDEAL

FOREWORD:

THE FIRST ORDEAL

Divine Similitude

Quote: ‘When you create your own God, then everything you do is forgiven. No thievery, lies, moral failure, murder, unnatural affection toward children, White Supremacy, and every other thing that is inconvenient cannot be deemed evil’.

No need to concoct an elaborate scheme to deceive the population. Keep it simple. I mean, most people already believe they could never live up to the words written in the Holy Bible. These so-called church goers in America that have done unspeakable things to Black slaves and their descendants to this very day. Planned lynchings in their so-called church sanctuaries. Carried out killings on the grounds of their so-called churches. And you want me to believe that that evil has been forgiven? Forgotten? Wiped clean? By who?

Okay. Lay off of you? No I won’t. To continue. Let’s steal your hard earned money shall we. Real this?

OASDI, MEDICARE and Federal taxes. Did you know that Medicare pays for certain citizens who are disabled? Where do you think this 1 Trillion in Medicaid cuts, dollars, in Donald Trump’s scheme comes from to give to the wealthy? Where does this Medicaid money come from?

From where did the Republicans collect this money to give to the ‘RICH MAN’? I mean is it magic money? Does it grow on trees? Is it dug up from the ground?

Right, you smart person! It’s your paycheck. Voters! Working stiffs. You underline that deduction on your paystub and know that you are really working for the ‘RICH MAN’ now! So, go get in line and hand your money to the rich from every penny you earn. You voted Republican didn’t you? Oh, you’re the one who decided not to vote? Oh well, it’s still the same outcome. You get to pay the ‘MAN’ too.

Boy did this Divine Similitude pay off. I mean, when you give people the freedom to do as they please I mean nothing that they before thought was evil is no longer classified as evil. Let’s not tell them that they are subject to the most foolish ‘being’ elevated to rule over them now. Oh no? What do you think happened when ‘Barabbas’ was released back to the Jewish people (really to all of us) instead of that innocent man (Yeah, I mean Jesus).

Figure that shit out.

‘Every brick stacked atop of one another will eventually make a wall as every house is built according to a blueprint’.

That’s the Divine Similitude that these Republicans knew all citizens would fall for. Republicans could care less about God or America. It’s all a game to them. I’m an independent Black man that leans Democrat. I don’t need a politician as my spiritual advisor. Do I need to say it again?

The Rabbit Hole: ‘This is the thing about going down the ‘RABBIT HOLE’ that these so-called smart human beings seem to ignore. Them rabbits. They dam show know how to get out of that hole they dug. If they can’t go back to one opening; they dam show know how to dig themselves another way out’.

FOREWORD:

THE SECOND ORDEAL

Place the Abomination that Maketh Desolate

When I started writing for my website years ago. One of the first digital posts I wrote was about ‘How to Degrade an Organization’. Since that time I have witnessed an energy that has recharged that screed which I want to add to this ordeal. ‘The Abomination that maketh desolate’ is established, seated or betrothed by the act of choice. Choices generate one of two outcomes as we say in mental health. This choice of placing an evil man, Donald Trump, in the seat of power has clearly brought desolation to America.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Daniel Chapter 11 verse 32… And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

Got ya!

Look at all the ‘folks’ that have done what that verse just said. Yeah all you idiots that laid the bullshit on thick to Donald J. Trump. You cannot say you never did it when you are standing before the HOLY FATHER.

America. You are not immune to destruction. I know it is hard to read about. I know it is hard to hear someone or your own voice utter those words. I was stabbed in the temple by a Black male patient in my mental health technician career. Thankfully, the First Father blunted the impact of that sharpened pencil with the frame of my glasses which saved my right eye from being stabbed. Admitting to myself this happened with all the powerful words you just read was disturbing, but empowering!

What is it about human beings that beckons us to replace people performing tasks by force of their own intellectual faculties? Why is it that some wanted us to believe that skin color was actually determinant of analytical achievement? I’m just curious. What event or events came about that caused White Supremacists to conclude that oppression and lies about Black people was the only way to convince their own kind that Black people were inferior? I have a theory.

This ‘Abomination’ unfolds like this:

How the ‘Abomination’ is one of the ways made known to us. He that is in power refuses to be shaped by God. In furtherance of the ‘Abomination’ is when so-called men and women of God falsely give legitimacy to a corrupt man like Donald J. Trump. Another man or woman cannot ‘rebirth’ a man or a woman! Only God can make you ‘born’ again by you asking and believing he is God.

I have concluded some extraordinary truths about life. I now understand that spiritual timing is a true phenomenon. I wanted to know what I wanted to know and I wanted to know it now! Man how unwise I was. I replaced that mindset at a point in my life I’d say after I crossed my late 50’s. My time was ‘not’ wasted learning what I needed to learn. I needed that valuable time to solidify the ‘train up in the way I should go’ within my being.

I read a quote attributed to Muhammed Ali. It went something like, ‘If a man is still thinking the way he thought when he is 50 that he did at 20 he is mistaken’.

THE THIRD ORDEAL

Must First Father Love?

‘For God so loved the world’. How many of us so-called Christians remember that? How many of us would agree that we haven’t come close to loving each other?

Does it matter who begins the act of love? Is it love to see your fellow human being under physical and mortal assault and you have the ability to do something, but you do nothing. Is that love? I don’t mean all of you demons that all you want to do is kill other people. I mean intervening in an appropriate manner to stop the danger to your fellow human being.

I’m sick and tired of watching all these politicians and so-called law enforcement officials cry and whine about crime.

‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’. Really? Is that a higher commandment than I’m not going to get involved because the police might come and shoot me. Is it?

All these alpha males I keep hearing about. They must be too busy attending Jeffrey Epstein like parties. Oh? Did I say something wrong? Give me a break with all this tough guy shit.

Now. Why are you wondering about what the First Father needs to do to help? Why don’t you do what is morally right to do yourself?

THE FOURTH ORDEAL

FOREWORD:

THE FOURTH ORDEAL

Power Wears No Mask!

Power has revelations only to the just person. ‘Upon this rock’ means what? Envision a rock breaking apart from a mountain. The original rock has already been made. Start your thought process there. Logic would inform us that the ‘rock’ cannot be remade.

Power isn’t a shapeshifter. Power isn’t a chameleon changing colors to fool and beguile the prey that crosses its path. That’s an American invention that power changes a person for good. A delusional fancy made lore by stupid ass movies and television shows.

A created position or title doesn’t have features that come with it that can be simply overlaid on the person elected or appointed to govern. What a stupid ass ordeal we’ve set upon ourselves! Thinking we can have anyone in the seat of power, and the position would make meek the untamable natural evil of that person.

The so-called righteous people would influence Donald J. Trump. What if the so-called righteous people are reading and acting from a fraudulent playbook? A ‘Divine Similitude’?

Power can’t change a dam thing about a person. Who that person is. That is who you are looking at!

THE FIFTH ORDEAL

FOREWORD:

THE FIFTH ORDEAL

Soul Asylums: Heaven and Hell

Can wearing a uniform that represents an organization steeped in honorable traditions bestow upon you the same honor? I mean is honor transferable? Is honor an add on given upon joining the military force? What then does a person need to become or seek in order to become a member of one of those two asylums?

Is getting to Heaven or Hell a belief that is logical? Are there even such places as Heaven or Hell?

There it is people. The ultimate dichotomy! Let me present this ordeal as an obstacle course. A rigorous test that reveals whether those virtues you display openly are actually imbedded internally in your being.

Many of us believe it is a matter of events that will be scored in such a way that reaches or crosses an unknown threshold. We want to believe all the good we do will count. Will sway the First Father that our life was not just a selfish one.

Alas, we are all flawed. That’s probably why the actual belief in Jesus is a guarantee, but it is also a question that cannot be answered from self-actualization.

Thus the test or the journey; some of us may call it only ends upon our death. Only then are the questions tallied and the final score recorded. Go figure.

FOREWORD:

THE SIXTH ORDEAL

War Rages While our Hearts are Tried

What ‘Victor’ will emerge in that battle. Some of us bounce from issue to issue to issue depending on who or what offense jockeys for position on the pole of our heart. The ‘lust’ of warfare is simply the greed of gain by unlawful force.

Let me present an example of two nations I believe have vastly different notions of purpose. China and Russia. Russia has been around for over 1100 (eleven hundred) years. China has been around for over 5000 (five thousand) years. Let that sink in a moment.

Russia and China are I would say ‘exchange’ partners. To be brief. Russia has a leader in Putin that is a warmonger. China has a premier that is concerned with the longevity of the state. Now do you really think the Premier of China looks at the Russian President as a trusted ally? Seriously?

China looks at Russia as a tolerable nuisance and I’m using a bunch of kind words. Imagine with me. What do you think is the first job of the Chinese Premier? I’ll give you a hint. Which nation has been in existence longer? I’ll get into the other childish mindset coming out of America under this ‘Ordeal’ in a latter post.

The nations that survive when all others are in the ‘bargain bin’ at the local landfill are the nations that tamp down that ‘raging’ war in their hearts.

The Matrix of Life: The Continuum of Knowledge

Learning is a continuum. No man can stop knowledge. Knowledge is a connective energy. Once the link-up is established. The spicket runs full on.

Now comes the ‘ordeal’. America as well as the world has let loose the ‘balance’ of knowledge which is named ‘ignorance’. The discovery of new knowledge is based on the intensity of the questioner! The matrix of life can never be powered down or off.

Now knowledge can be hoarded for a while, but it cannot be suppressed. Knowledge is more often kept secret, but knowledge that is not shared reeks of arrogance.

Take politics for example. Politicians often believe that a learned population is a skeptical population. These sorts of politicians believe that the truth often immunizes people, and prevents them from being swayed or fooled by their specious answers.

The greatest example in history is the perpetuation of slavery. White Supremacists actually believed that they could stand ‘in front of the flow’ of knowledge and even turn it off! That the slaves, if kept uneducated, would never want to be treated as children of God. What a delusional bunch these White Supremacists were. They still are today.

Nothing can ‘plug’, block or impede the matrix of life.

Issue 10: All Is Becoming Clear

My loyal users, fans, subscribers and leaders I am pleased to tell you that I have completed my initial 7 part introductory series of a monumental inspiration. The 7 ORDEALS are ready to be posted. This is only the beginning, but it has been a brutal undertaking. Many years of in depth philosophical thought, consultation with great friends, soldiers and family have brought me to another door I emphatically opened!

The knowledge that I will now be sharing with you must come with an ask on your part. I will post them under a members only block on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. This is how I will deliver the majority of my digital content henceforth. It will still be free, but all my 100,000 plus users I ask for your help.

Please ‘SUBSCRIBE’ to my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. It is called ‘OUT IN BLACK’. There are a few with that same name. Please look for my handsome black face. If you can’t find it look under ‘landcause.com’. It is the only way I can deliver you the great stories, true content and ideas all of you love.

Don’t worry I will still post a video or two that doesn’t need anyone to subscribe to view it. As everything cost money and my Internet Service Provider is not a charitable organization. I have to pay money to stay on their servers.

Again. Thank you for all your support over the last 10 years and into the future. I will be kicking this thing into overdrive with a lot of help from everybody.

Be well to all.

VICTORIES?

Victories?

How many of us fail at learning what our true victories are? I was one of those people for many years. I misidentified my victories as failures many times. How so? When I characterized my effort to achieve a goal as a failure when actually it was a victory in the fact that I learned my efforts were woefully inadequate to achieve said goal. When I mistakenly believed I deserved a top grade even though I engaged in poor study habits. Thirdly, in arrogance, I believed I would still be able to complete a 16 minute two mile run 10 years after leaving the military.

That’s why I’m writing this post to all National Football League coaches. According to Sun Tzu, The Art of War, ‘The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand’. On Sunday 7 September 2025, that’s what Coach Harbaugh did when his Ravens were up 40 to 25 on the Bills. The Ravens were cruising, even though they should have stayed sharp, when the Bills, who have extraordinary talent at quarterback, took advantage of the Ravens’ belief that the game was over.

In warfare, the general that includes mistakes and possible defeat in his or her planning, is always the general that more than not emerges victorious in the end. This is my point Coach Harbaugh. Whether your opponent is as skilled or not as skilled, assume your men will lose faith if you don’t make decisions. There is no one above you Coach Harbaugh. That should always be your thought pattern.

When King David was uncertain after all the people turned against him. King David separated himself (Crucial point there). He asked God (God gave a one word response. ‘Pursue’). Let me stop you right there. There was no need for a long drawn out discussion. I’ll answer David in the way a Black man or woman would. ‘Are you seriously asking me what the fuck you should do?’

When things fall apart, and they will, Coach Harbaugh you have to restore confidence by making gutsy decisions. Punting the ball at your own 40 yard line was weak. Coach, you may already be a world champion, but all your players are not. You have to pull them into that energy. Once they feel it crackling and bristling over their flesh and bones, you will have a team that would run through a field of blazing fire with gasoline draws on!

‘Victories are taken. They are not given. Bring me the opponent. I will defeat them all!’

Foreword:

Trickster: Edition Six: Who Takes Cancer Treatment Away from Babies?

Donald J. Trump that’s who. Elon Musk was all too eager to cut funding to the National Institute of Health that directly supports cancer research for dying babies. Children. Who the fuck does that? The richest man in the world is let in the most vulnerable part of what our Federal Government does, and he immediately goes after the tax dollars that fund the research that keeps parents’ energy connected to their dying children. Again. Who the ‘FUCK’ goes after the most vulnerable human beings in America? Donald J. Trump set his fox loose in the chicken coop and no Republican made a ‘bleeping’ sound or gave a ‘flying fuck’ about it being wrong!

Listen to me. The parents of these dying babies would, if their child dies, would go to Heaven. These parents would dare look God in the face and tell him they are taking their child back from him. This is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of the love these parents have for their children. Now this piece of shit Elon Musk. It doesn’t matter if Elon Musk has all the money in the world. He is still a piece of shit. Elon Musk chose to do what he did. Elon Musk chose to come after the sickest children. Mind you now. Elon Musk has his own family and not a single person ever went after his children. Ever! Please continue rejecting Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump peacefully.

So why would the richest man in the world, this piece of shit, Elon Musk do the most lowdown thing I have ever heard the Federal Government do? With the blessing of Donald J. Trump of course. Why? Why would anyone, let alone this person, Elon Musk, who probably wouldn’t give the crumbs off his table to Lazarus, intentionally target sick and dying children?

Who would hire a man knowing that is what he intended to do? Then the man that hired him display that stupid look on his face like he didn’t know what the richest man in the world intended to do. Fuck off! All these idiots making excuses for this buffoon Donald J. Trump and his piece of shit lackey Elon Musk will answer to God for their blasphemous acts!

Now let me say this about crime. Are Democrats so fucking scared to clapback to these ‘Spinless’ Republicans when they speak of making America safe? Let me write my next revelation on a line by itself.

The elimination of crime is an illusion in America and the world! Nobody can make the world a safe place to live. Are you fucking serious! I’ll explain. Since we’ve industrialized; Americans have come to believe that dangers in the environment doesn’t exist anymore. The very air we breathe can’t carry viruses that make us sick. The very water and food we consume cannot kill us. The insects that bite us cannot kill us. Snakes, spiders, alligators, bears, mountain lions, and so on fear human beings right? Wrong!

I forgot wolves in that list. Wait a minute. I’m getting there. The most dangerous mammal or creature to their fellow human being is their fellow human being! Oh, Republicans can now predict emotions that trigger violent reactions right? Republicans solutions? Throw some guys and gals supped up on a power trip straight out of high school or off skid row and give them police powers. Yeah. Flood the streets with people with badges who have mental health and emotional issues themselves and they will solve the spontaneity factor of crime.

It’s like I’m watching a poorly written movie that cost 250 million dollars to make which when it was released made only a thousand dollars because it just didn’t entertain or make sense to anybody.

The definition of insanity is what now?

I wouldn’t back down to anybody talking about sending soldiers to the streets of America and they would solve crime. Are you just scared or stupid Democrats? If they say that police or the military solve problems say this. Can the police predict where a desperate man would steal for his next meal? Can the military predict the next domestic violence victim? If so, what would the military do after they arrive in the residence where a jealous rage just occurred?

Can the police tell a citizen to get off the public sidewalk? Will the military occupy these Republican states where open carry of weapons is allowed? What would they do if someone is reaching for their weapon? Would they spray the area and ask questions later? Can the military predict what hot car the next child will be left in to die of heat exhaustion?

Do I need to go on?

Yes, let’s send the military into corporate America and shoot the place up to stop white collar crime. The police can’t even stop elderly theft. How many scams are still out there targeting older Americans? How many children are still being sexually trafficked and abused? How about we start letting the smart people look at all these issues intellectually? Maybe then we can get some headway on them? What do you think about that ‘Pard-ner’? Yeah, a gun, a badge, a cowboy hat and more jail cells has worked gangbusters!

Yeah, let’s keep the illusion alive! America can be made totally safe from all danger. Whoo-hoo! Problem solved. From all the rich folks stealing all the money to all the citizens of America believing the real hoax of public safety. I got stuck on a major interstate last night around 1 am. We can’t even solve the problem of stupid ass drivers!

How in the Hell can we eliminate all danger that is baked into life itself? What the fuck are we doing! The people with sense have got to start throwing haymakers back. When you have stupidity thrown at you, Democrats, you got to throw haymakers back. And connect them too!

Now I’m speaking metaphorically of course.

This is an intense post. Do not go after Donald J. Trump or Elon Musk with thoughts, posts, intentions or unintended violence please. Do not do it. Focus on the truths in this post and let’s move Americans off of ignorance to intelligence.

Be well people.

THE ALPHA MALE?

The Alpha Male?

What about that title is hilarious to me? First, I have to place it in the context of what is needed of an ‘Alpha’ male to ‘take on’ in a society of males, females, transgenders, lesbians, gay and bisexuals and so forth. Oh, I know, let’s keep it simple shall we. Occupations. That’s a good place to start. Let’s explore the jobs where an Alpha male would make America a better place.

Mental Health, a flashing red light need of Alpha male assistance. The requirements are that an Alpha male needs to possess strong verbal communication skills with an emphasis on de-escalation, solving complex behavioral, mental and psychological issues that may arise instantly and often. Sounds like a challenge for an Alpha male to me? How about it Alpha males? Will you take on the job of a mental health technician?

Nursing. That’s a good field that needs more muscle. I mean Alpha males. There is only so much that prayer can do right? You so-called church going Republican Alpha males. Get into the field of medicine where the care for patients is greatest. I mean a doctor only sets the table, metaphorically so, right? Why not put the food on and remove the plate for cleaning. Tidy up the kitchen to include the flooring and the garbage. Metaphorically of course. Too much like work? Okay, let’s try something lighter Alpha males.

How about being a husband and father. Would that relieve the pressure and responsibilities Alpha males? I mean it’s only a wife, children, providing for a household while maintaining stability for growth, education and wellbeing for the family now, and preparations for the future of everyone as well. I left out something very important Alpha males. Being a husband, father, provider and master of your household comes with the stipulation that there are no days off. Meaning, it’s a no fail job. Oops. Did I sour it by focusing on the parts not pertaining to sex? Hey, I tried.

Listen, Alpha males. If you want the power without the work, without the hardships, without the little faces of children looking up and counting on you, go star in a Hollywood movie that glorifies your looks and fake muscles. The strength needed in all those occupations and life decisions is not just contained in your physical features Alpha males.

The strength lies where true respect lies Alpha males. Strength and honor lies where a society needs you. Not in you having sex with underage females and hiding the records of it. It doesn’t lie with you intimidating and beating your wives all the while never daring to punch a muscle bound man the same way.

So stop with the fake Alpha male talk Republican males. Impress me by making our society better by taking on the difficult things that need ‘Alpha’ males right at this moment.

Issue 9: In The Getting?

Man. How many of us know what we’re getting into when we pursue power? What we also get when we pursue physical pleasures? What we have linger on our hearts when we do wrong to others? How we view fellow human beings or ourselves as ‘others’ or ‘less than’ or the go to best one of them all ‘master race’?

First. I applaud the Free Press all over the world that are keeping it real. By ‘real’ I mean not thinking these serious times are something out of the antebellum South in America. Are you seriously ‘EFF-ing’ kidding me! Like those articles in the ‘Legacy Media’, AP, BBC, Wall Street Journal, US News World Report and the Los Angeles Times no less wrote about President Trump and the Federal Reserve Chairman ‘bickering’?

To write an article about two of the most powerful men in the United States Government concerning economic matters, and you thought it ‘cute’ because they are both elderly men to say they were ‘bickering’?

Explain to me again why the consuming inquisitive public across the globe have lost faith in the Free Press? I mean we are in serious fucking times and this is the best we can get?

Listen, I am constructing a series of writings that will give a serious viewpoint on why Americans are told why they’re exceptional. Americans are lost in a ‘Divine Similitude’ version of believing in a spiritual deity. Why Americans live in a ‘Enclosed Delusion’ about a glorious past that very few people (including a ton of those undocumented people) alive today helped to ‘pull’ out of the ‘ether’ of energy what’s possible and made it a reality that we see and feel.

Name one problem you see with our ‘delusional’ mindset Victor? Take Artificial Intelligence. Why are there commercials talking about restricting China’s drive to develop ‘AI’ through American legislation? What the fuck does China have to do with what we research and develop!

Americans came to believe that a few people we chose to represent us are doing the ‘fighting’ on our behalf. Where the fuck did that so-called ‘truth’ come from? I certainly never gave permission to anyone to ‘fight’ on my behalf for my rights.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I’ll say it again. I’ve lost rank fighting for soldiers. I lost money fighting for the new generation coming behind me to gain higher wages. Yeah guy! Turning down jobs when you ask for better starting pay is a part of pushing wages up. I’ve suffered hunger for it. I’ve suffered family strife for it. I’ve been shunned by fellow NCO’s when I stood for what’s right. Please. Somebody help me understand. Why Americans pawn off their ‘fight’ to someone else?

That’s a little taste of what’s coming. The pursuit of power, pleasure, fame, admiration in a desperate attempt to add something to your life that inevitably fades away over time.

I’m giving away too much now. Let me end with this gem. I’ve begun to question everything I was told over the younger years of my life what I should strive to achieve. Things like money, power and admiration. You know what I learned? Helping others to greater mental health and better understanding along with empathy brought to me the kind of admiration you can never get from money, power or fame.

Be well my www.landcause.com readers and YouTube viewers.

ISSUE 31: Why Didn’t Senator Tim Scott Just Wear a ‘Livery Suit’ and hold a Serving Tray as Well for God Sake?

When will this dumbass Black man Tim Scott stop making all of us look like ‘weak ass bitches’ for Republicans to ridicule and scorn? Just look at the ‘Legacy Media’ headlines on that foolhardy attempt by President Trump to make Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell look smaller in his presence. Did it work for Trump? No. Of course it didn’t. Donald Trump looked and is the smaller less capable calculated man.

Now, can we put to rest why Fed Chair Powell is the better opponent? I mean it is ludicrous to believe that Chairman Powell wouldn’t have his numbers right. Do you get what I mean now when I said long ago in previous digital editions on this site that God listens to very few people in America. Do you get it now? Donald Trump is not one of those people God listens to!

Back to the blissfully ignorantly Senator Tim Scott from the great State of South Carolina. If he also wore ‘Brogans’ it would have rounded out his submissive attire. Just clickety clack down the hall behind his master Donald Trump. What a sore sight to see. It would have brought a tear to a Southern Belle’s eye.

I mean the ‘Legacy Media’ member Associated Press stated in their headline that Donald Trump and Jerome Powell were bickering. Are you fucking kidding me? That’s the problem you run into when only White people write and record the history unfolding before our eyes. Bickering? That’s the best most explosive headline they could come up with? Pathetic!

Senator Tim Scott didn’t need a hardhat because his life doesn’t matter to the ‘master’. Donald Trump would just get another house nigger to follow him around when he needs the floor wiped for him before he steps on it. I know, I know. Senator Tim Scott is too dark to be a house nigger. He ‘sho’ behaves like one though.

Senator Tim Scott? Huh? Call this stupid motherfucker up to come humiliate himself and he quickly says, yes sir boss. (Make sure you say ‘Yes Sir with an ‘Uhl’ in the most scared manner to avoid reprisal from the White man’). Skinning and grinning as he giggles down the hall with that shit eating grin fixed on his face as if he was taught it by the White Supremacists that that was the proper way to look around your superiors.

Keep creating ‘them’ new caricatures of disdain about Black people that the haters love to take screen shots of while they play back that video over and over again to howling laughter Senator Tim Scott. I know it doesn’t matter to you, but it matters to me as I don’t want young Black men and women seeing you as the example of the strength of Black people to model their lives after.

If you are shocked at what I wrote here, you don’t know me. I’ve lost promotions, friends, enemies, made soldiers I care about avoid me as not to get caught up in why I’m fighting for their respect, and lastly I’ve lost countless job opportunities in Birmingham, Alabama and beyond. Oh, the money I’ve lost is inconsequential to my conscience tormenting me if I backed down from doing what was right. No matter the cost!

Next time. Ask Senator Tim Scott where is his serving tray? I bet you he will start laughing like it’s a joke.

Listen everyone. All my loyal users and subscribers. Don’t worry about being as forceful as I am in fighting evil and injustice in this world. At whatever degree you can is good enough. It all adds up to make humanity better for us all when you do a little right.

Somewhere, somebody was asking just for that little bit of hope.

BY PAPYRUS OR PARCHMENT

By Papyrus and Parchment

Passing the word on paper in ancient times took a little planning. Papyrus, or herbaceous perennials, is categorized as a non-woody plant. While parchment is a by-product of animal skins from sheep, calves and goats which good students of history would know was common practice in the middle east.

Alas, I’m not trying to give a history lesson on the writing mediums used to record important events in the history of this world. I am trying to gain more acceptance of the ways in which we stay informed in so-called modern times. Gatherings are still the top form of passing important information back and forth between ourselves. While social media platforms keep us informed of many different aspects of human nature.

Whether what is passed around is good or bad, it’s a matter of a value assigned it, or we just archive what is distributed in the annals of history circa 2025. The reason for this digital post is to share a sense of warmth, respect and hope for the field of mental health. I have a few people I know of capable character that work at Peace Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. Now, granted, the situation that happened this year, 2025, was a ‘rumble’ of sorts between patients and staff; nonetheless, it was eventually contained.

The reason I’m posting about this mental health facility is that the administration there understood that some mistakes were made in deploying the right staff, and the situation was remedied. My people, I call all who work in mental health ‘my people’, went to work there even after it happened. You know what? What?

Of course they are dedicated to elevating mental health care to a status on par with medical health care. The person I know told me that Peace realized their mistakes and implemented corrections. That’s what I’m talking about! That is an acknowledgement that nothing would be swept under the rug in order to save somebody’s reputation. If you made a mistake, own it!

Yes, my loyal users and subscribers of www.landcause.com, I have to give you an experience of mine in the mental health facility I worked in Radcliff, Kentucky. No co-worker of mine wanted to ‘staff’, ‘man’, ‘bite the bullet’, on the adolescent boys unit. It was a unit that tried every code of honor you live by. Do you know what I’m saying?

I realized that and still showed up for work when everybody was looking on the ‘staffing’ platform and finding ways to get off that assignment. From calling out or saying they couldn’t tolerate those boys more than every other day or no day at all. You know what happened to me? Some of my friends on Facebook know this, but I will share another reason why I was itching for an excuse to quit. There I said it.

When that weak ass short in height Napolean complex useless Nursing Supervisor man came at me the wrong way that fateful day that was all she wrote. I’d been showing up for work religiously without complaint every day I was scheduled, and this little punk ass man tried to assert his authority over me. Are you kidding me? I asked one of the nurses on the girls’ unit to walk me out and I quit.

I mean it was behavioral discord every shift I worked on the boys unit. All my co-workers avoided it like the plague, but I lived by a tenet of my code. What part of the code you ask? This part. ‘No body was going to run me off a job’!

That little punk ass nursing supervisor dude, I hate to call him a man because he was useless when the shit hit the fan on any unit. Whether the unit was grown men and women, or the unit was adolescent boys or girls. This nursing supervisor was useless in a ‘hold’ situation.

Let me tell everybody about a funny situation that happened at the Radcliff, Kentucky mental health facility. One of my Black female co-workers was telling me about a situation where more staff was called to a unit. One of the male techs came over was quite frankly a talkative religious man. My female co-worker said she told him this, ‘What are you going to do? Pray for him’? I told her if I was there that night I would have been rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

Spiritually, I’m there, but if we need some muscle if the situation turns bad; I need to know I can count on you. That’s just the bottom line.

So, let me be clear. Whether we are communicating on a paper formed from grass or animal skin. I got to know this in mental health. Can you not act like you are managing or for that matter working at a McDonald’s. This ‘shit’ is real sometimes in mental health!

If you have anybody along the chain of command in mental health that is on a power trip, I suggest you make it known to the person or move on to another mental health facility that realizes the job you do can turn dangerous on a dime!

On Papyrus or parchment or on digits. Pass the word.

Issue 21: The First Branch

Have you ever looked up at the Sun when it touches a tall majestic tree? How the branch and its leaves are a bit more hardened? How the branch looks a little parched? More than the other branches I’m saying. Maybe the nourishments don’t ‘clap back’ as quickly in lieu of supplying the roots, the trunk and the lower leaves with life giving water and nutrients.

That said though, the highest branch seems to thrive and gain strength as it sways in the breeze. How does it do it? I mean, the tallest branch can’t be getting the first run of the harvest can it? I mean it is at the top of the tree. There is no shade that covers it. No protection from the elements. The heaviness of the rain, as it falls, ‘strikes’ it the hardest. Maybe, just maybe, the ‘First Branch’ softens the maelstrom so the younger branches can have the luxury of time to grow strong. To face what they must someday.

Could that be the reason, the acceptance, the charge that the ‘First Branch’ will never be protected or shielded from what comes after those behind her protection? The ‘First Branch’ is on top. The ‘First Branch’ is out front. The ‘First Branch’ sees what is coming and defends the whole. No matter what!

From the Authorized King James of the Holy Bible. Luke 22:42 gives us an idea of leadership. The many facets or never uttered implied tenets that a leader of conscience comes to realize when she or he dares accept the role. Again, may I clearly state. I am not your spiritual advisor nor am I your priest or minister. Jesus called for his ‘Father’, all our ‘Father’, and the ‘First Father’ did not come. The ‘First Father’ sent an angel to briefly strengthen him.

Question for you? What was God teaching Jesus about leadership? Yes, yes I get it. Everybody is under God. What was he teaching his son about leadership?

I will tell you my belief. It is deep. If you wish to stop reading right here please do so.

Okay then. Let’s continue.

There is no one above the mantle of leadership. I mean there is no safe harbor to pull in. No solace or relief for the burden to be bared drops no further. All decisions are yours and yours alone. ‘For the horse is prepared against the day of battle’.

There is more to it, but the leader cares not for safety or the day when no strife is present. He or she only looks at their responsibility with love and strives with the one purpose of seeing those under their authority live. That is why the ‘First Branch’ knows the protector is out front and what must be shielded is behind.

Leadership is a lonely ‘First Branch’. No matter the level. No matter the sides or the line. ‘Father forgive them, for they know not what they do’. Do you know what the acceptance of that responsibility meant?

The ‘First Father’ needed a leader out front. There are many fronts along the battlelines against evil. If you wish to be a leader covering a chosen realm, then you must not hope for ‘rescue’ for there will be none coming.

The ‘First Branch’ takes it all and gives ‘charge’ for what must be done. No matter the season or the reason.

My closing charge to anyone claiming they are a leader. ‘Self-care’ is your responsibility. You may receive some ‘token’ spiritual strengthening at times, but when you ask for leadership and it is given you. Do not long for a ‘reliever’ to save you from the ‘hottest’ front on the battlefield!

The war against evil is eternal.

I tell you of a truth. Chose a branch below the ‘First Branch’. It is safer for you to do that. Do not cost all of humanity their hope, as it would rest solely in you.

THOSE WHO DARE LEAD WOMEN AND MEN

Those Who Dare Lead Women and Men

Listen. This is for everybody. I will try to be on my best behavior. This has to be said and I don’t know of any other way to say it. I have had less than a handful of shitty company commanders in the United States Army. I am fortunate to be able to say that. Of a truth. I have never been in company briefings, battalion briefings, brigade combat team briefings where I have ever heard a commander say that he or she would gladly sacrifice all of the men and women under their authority to receive the praise of a politician. Never!

By the way. Politicians up to and including the Secretary of Defense and the President of the United States of America!

First the Secretary of Defense Hegseth claims that the military forces are weeping children whom someone has just taken our lollipops (lethality) to now being thin skinned and unable to handle the scrutiny of an after action report. I mean which is it? Are we a lethal fighting force or are we weeping babies because we didn’t get an ‘A’ on a graded pop quiz?

Okay, now I’m about to get deeply philosophical. Are you ready? You’re not ready. I have to lay it on you anyway.

Does anyone know the answer to why soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines would freely give their lives, if it becomes necessary, so that others, who they will never meet, may live? It is because all who serve honorably have been given their lives back! Say what? What are you talking about SGT Moseley? They already have their life. What do you mean by this?

‘To Lead Women. To Lead Men. They have to know what they are being asked to do is honorable. A warrior knows this by the honor, integrity and fidelity of his or her frontline leader’. Theirs your answer. Life is passed on so that others may live ‘more freely and more abundantly’. If you do not understand this, don’t worry about it.

A politician is not their leader! Surprise! Surprise! The women or the men that stands before the ranks is who they put their trust in. I believed in SSG Thomas, a Black woman noncommissioned officer, because she stood up for me in Afghanistan when I was being unfairly targeted. I believed in Vanessa and Trish because they trusted me and backed me as I maintained good order and discipline at a behavioral health hospital where I once worked.

That’s why some of you read previous posts of me lauding my time working in mental health as rivaling my time in the Army. Look. ‘A warrior stands in the breach. Whatever comes crashing through that opening in the battlements. It strikes the warrior first! Do you not understand this?’

The woman leader, the male leader, gives a warrior his or her life back. The warrior pledges life to those he or she knows, and to those he or she will never know. Never to know how life is thriving because his or her life has been laid down, if necessary, to make more life possible.

Know this. Belief and trust in the leader means everything. That’s where a warrior gets his or her purpose and objectives.

I will stop here. That’s the benefit of an education in the Arts.

Be well. All of you.

Season 3:

Episode 4: Exile That Which Hinders

Make it ‘Sew-Wear’ (Sow-Where?)

Prologue:

(Mother Sayer broods over the many freedoms she has to think or focus on ‘whatever’ or whenever they appear in her mind. Free moments like watching the leaves and branches of a giant oak tree sway in the breeze. How it seems possible that there are magnificent trees that line a preset corridor in the Appalachians Mountains regions. How close they are to each other. How far they travel and where they choose to call home. Is that by design or a desire to be next to one another? Choices by the trees. The scenic beauty can only be grasped and translated by the soul. The soul understands the connection. The oak trees do their part. Mother thinks of the joy that the giant oaks must have towards an ‘acorn’ finding a spot on ‘their’ given ground amongst the ‘elders’. A patch of ground, not too close, not too far, but just enough to not always be asking for ‘nurture’. Too much nurture can hinder.

Mother Sayer looks at Sarah W. Certainty with that same care. She knows her mother and father raised her to be strong with the roots and sturdy bark of a great oak. This thought is what Mother Sayer is smiling about. Maybe smiling isn’t the right expressive description of her gaze towards Sarah. Mother believes in her heart Sarah has that same ‘covering’ that she has. Mother says Sarah will not be ‘uncovered’. (If you dare to know what ‘covering’ Mother is referring, please turn your attention to Isaiah 28:20 in the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. I suggest you don’t read the full chapter. If you do, I apologize if it startles you.).

To be uncovered is to be left to the devices of the ‘unjust’ Mother Sayer believes. Mother Sayer was covered by her father. She will ‘cover’ all those in her charge until the time they can cover themselves and maybe just ‘one’ more. (Understanding what ‘being covered’ means will come as you stay with me.). That gift the First Father only bestows to very few people. People the First Father knows will look to ‘nourish’ the oaks he needs to ‘assure the ground and clean the air’.

The ground where the oak tree stands is solidified, but the impact an oak tree has on all living things, to include the Earth, by cleaning the air is felt and carried to all lands close at hand and distant. Sarah’s media idea will do that and more. The ‘OAK TREES’ said, ‘The wind and the rain, will not erase my grounded stain. I have treaded a path. The ground held me down and listened whilst I made no sound.

The weight. As I grew and spread the ground I did. I would not cry or say ‘too much now, stop growing’. I moved and I was covered to discover my purpose. When peace kept me still as I set my will. How great a depth I sank to drink cool waters beneath my feet. How tall I reached to cool under my shade many beasts on the floor and climbers of my trunk. I offered the ‘wind riders’ rest upon my branches. My strength is well known where I stand. My purpose is to care for beast, bird and man.).

————How Sarah grew into the woman she is————–

(What follows is the day Mother Sayer set aside for Sarah to make her ‘pitch’ to her. What Mother heard Sarah say just overloaded her expectations of what her daughter could dream of. Let’s see and hear what was brought to life that day….).

Mother Sayer: (It is an overcast day with the weather forecast calling for light rain around noon. The anticipation grows within Mother’s stomach. She hasn’t felt this way since the days of her ‘Time Trials’ with her father. Mother thinks, ‘I just want to give Sarah my support’. Be positive, but not fake. Okay, got it.). Hello Sarah. Give me a few minutes and we’ll get started. I don’t have anything scheduled but what you asked me here for.

Sarah W. Certainty: Hello and thank you Mother. I’ve got all the pieces together. I may need one of your ‘joiners’ to keep it all organized for me.

Mother Sayer: No problem. Knowing you, who is coming to assist you in your presentation?

Sarah W. Certainty: Uoherbhai. I figured I needed to help her out of her shell. She’s quite capable, but she’s introverted. Likes to work with very few people. Makes her nervous. Other than those perceived drawbacks about her which lesser people would certainly refuse to give her more critical taskings. I’m not ‘corporate America’ jaded enough to miss the forest.

Mother Sayer: Bet not be, or I’ll ‘wring-your-neck’ daughter.

Sarah W. Certainty: Don’t make me laugh now. I want to give you a good show. I’m not some daughter of yours that wasn’t shown the ropes. I know how you treated me. Thank you for that. Now shall we begin?

Mother Sayer: (Mother watches Sarah open the door to her office. Walk out and hold Uoherbhai’s hand where she’s sitting and tell her what’s about to happen. Uoherbhai collects a writing tablet, a computer tablet, coffee and a video recording device.). I see you’re being thorough?

Sarah W. Certainty: Can’t be too confident. Something might be said in here that got lost in translation or missed in the telling. This will be a short presentation for you Mother, but trust me, the details are extensive.

Mother Sayer: Okay. You may begin.

Sarah W. Certainty: Cucire – Indossare, in English, ‘Sew-Wear’. With the onset of video and social media platforms I can bring my creation to life. Fashion Mother. The tag line underneath the header will read, ‘Relate’ in Italian ‘Relazionare’. My focus will be on giving clothing, jewelry, footwear, and clothing outfitters a place to bring their ideas out of the ‘energy’ that is in their body and souls.

Mother Sayer: Wait. Wait. Back up. A little at a time. I already feel your ‘energy’ Sarah. I’m trying to maintain my balance. What is your first step?

Sarah W. Certainty: I need funding to reach out to all of these creators. I want to go on radio first. I will then go on internet radio. I want to canvas universities that have fashion and design majors. Once I acquire a few leads; I want to take a look at what they got going on.

Mother Sayer: That’s correct so far. You probably want to recruit some artists, drawers that can sketch images on paper. Have a few of them locked down under contract.

Sarah W. Certainty: Right. The first or around the first acts would be to bring to life something on paper. Something that can give me an idea what talents they possess. The most important thing I never want to lose sight of is to have tons of content. Designs. I will record every piece of the process. The creative process. I want speaking coaches. Drama coaches. I want to know if they can stand to be in front of video recorders. Audio recorders. I want vocal coaches. Language teachers, readers and speakers that can clean up their verbiage skills and sound like the places we want to go.

Mother Sayer: You want them to be as polished as they can be right out the gate?

Sarah W. Certainty: Hit the ground running is the ‘jargon’ right? I also don’t want anyone trying to replicate what I do too soon after my launch.

Mother Sayer: Well, for that you might want to keep an ‘asset’ in the loop. Just in case somebody tries to muscle in on the action.

Sarah W. Certainty: My father you mean?

Mother Sayer: Yes I do. Huh? My goodness that was quick.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m not against the idea, but what about exposure to criminal activity? I mean me. I’m not looking for trouble with the law.

Mother Sayer: I know. Let’s get it straight right now though. You know what I thought I could do without my father and what happened. Women Sarah, let’s face it. We’re not thought of as being able to protect ourselves. Now, I did my time in the Army. I can protect myself no doubt, but it is different out here. Sometimes the battlefield, per se, is not as clean as you want it to be.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yeah. You knew the enemy. Some in uniform and some not wearing a uniform in Iraq. Most of the time the battles in business mostly don’t wear ‘uniforms’. The enemy wears all kinds and styles of clothing and the rules should be civil. Mostly.

Mother Sayer: That’s right. Saying that. Your father and mother and my father are more about that life than we are. It’s just a precaution. I mean I’m not asking that you have him around all the time. Like renting him office space is not what I have in mind.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah chuckles). I got your meaning. Don’t exile him right?

Mother Sayer: You got it. So it’s settled? You’ll keep him informed about what you’re doing? We can work out the details like who do we need to source materials from and who we need to avoid.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. No goons of course.

Mother Sayer: No last name ‘Goon’. Right. (Mother chuckles.).

Sarah W. Certainty: What do you think of the name for the project? The store? Does it encompass all races and cultures?

Mother Sayer: Before I answer that. How about your Mother being a part of the mystique? She is a force. I mean her energy overpowered mine when I first met her you know that right?

Sarah W. Certainty: I kind of sensed it. When you let her tell you what’s going to happen.

Mother Sayer: Yes. I did take a step down to my elder. Her power was exhilarating. It was also the time for me to learn from her even though the interaction was short.

Sarah W. Certainty: Stop talking long enough and you’ll learn something right?

Mother Sayer: Exactly? Now the name you have chosen is interesting. There is deep meaning I’m guessing beyond those two words? ‘Sew-Wear’. I am getting some energy vibes telling me there is a ‘joint operating’ sense to why you chose to lock those two words together. Tell it like it is young lady.

Sarah W. Certainty: Relationships are relative to learning I’m sure you would agree? What a woman wears. What a man wears. What young people wear is crucial to how they feel about themselves right?

Mother Sayer: That’s right.

Sarah W. Certainty: I believe clothing should come to life. Enhance being. Age doesn’t matter. A ‘wearer’ knows what image they want to present. I believe the garment industry has never really respected the desires of the ‘sewer’ to help bring that feeling of putting on clothes you know ‘fit’ whatever style the wearer feels inside. It has never been granted for the glory of the ‘human’ body.

Mother Sayer: So, you want to ‘Zen’ out clothing?

Sarah W. Certainty: Frag out? No. Just a joke Mother. Now didn’t you tell me about the people General Tholodious had in his charge? Didn’t you tell me you felt their aura? The energy and strength they possessed. The feeling you got just by gazing at their appearance?

Mother Sayer: Yes I did.

Sarah W. Certainty: You told me they didn’t have one uniform clothing style, but many of them seem to dress according to their personality. That’s what you told me.

Mother Sayer: I said that as well.

Sarah W. Certainty: The way the General’s people talked and carried themselves and how their clothing didn’t impede their movements nor did they degrade their duties. They knew their clothing and you even said it was as if the clothing was designed for their specific duties.

Mother Sayer: Yes I did. I thought about what I had to wear in Iraq and how it never seemed to respond to my movements. Maybe the clothing got in the way of what I wanted to do. Even working against me. My Army uniform seems to just be ‘flapping’ along even as I got shot in the arm.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s part of why I want to bond mind, soul and body in the clothing designers that are looking for somebody to take them seriously about the whole thing.

Mother Sayer: The whole thing?

Sarah W. Certainty: The ‘whole thing’ meaning the entire creative process of ‘outfitting’ customers one person at a time.

Mother Sayer: Sarah. That’s not how the clothing industry works. It is an assembly line model. You do know that right? How are you going to break through or break that mindset? Turn the industry to your will?

Sarah W. Certainty: By designers that believe in the complete ‘process’ of ‘dressing’ each person individually. If necessary, if it comes to a little muscle, I got no problem at all calling in my father to ‘crack’ a few skulls for me.

Mother Sayer: That’s the spirit. (They both laugh at her joke about violence). I must say. I am feeling it Sarah. The stirring inside. You got something there. Beyond just designing clothes and making money. I believe you got the potential to make people flock to you because you will ‘consult’ with your customers on how they want to present themselves.

Sarah W. Certainty: I want my designers and their advocates to talk to their customers about how ‘they’ like to be dressed. Not just come and grab something off the rack. Take it to the cashier and purchase it. Then after getting it home it doesn’t mesh with anything they have in their closet.

Mother Sayer: It should be interwoven into who they are both mentally and physically right?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes.

Mother Sayer: Good. I want you to loop in our philosophical unit. Just choose one of them you think mirrors your thoughts and keep him or her on the team. Okay?

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay.

——————————————-Exiled No More——————————————–

(Mother and Sarah break for lunch and they let Uoherbhai as well, but Sarah tells ‘Uo’ that she will be working with her on the floor. To go and pack her things and she will show her to her new working area after lunch. Mother admonishes Sarah to keep everything secret and to make sure ‘Uo’ does the same. This isn’t about being selfish. This is about business.

People can steal from you in a second. All the creativity you and your team can put into something can be gone in an instant. It has everything to do with keeping corporate secrets corporate and inhouse. Mother tells Sarah this thing she created could be a defining moment that brings her and her team great success, praise and acclamation. It can also be ripped from you if you are not careful.

It is always a delicate thing to try and teach things on audio and television. The reasoning behind what you’re doing must come out very clearly, or the delivery will sound like you’re looking down on people. Nobody wants to be talked to like they’re stupid. No matter what a politician believes they have agency to do to their constituents.

Don’t worry Mother tells herself. Sarah has my ‘covering’ over her.).

Mother Sayer: I believe we should let the naming rights weight on us for a while. Let it flow through us. Let it internalize. Marinate. Other than letting the name sizzle. I believe you have something there. Tell me more about your outreach to people that don’t look like you. All the ‘races’ that is.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, I thought I could talk to your people. You have quite the ensemble cast of characters here at the ARC. Maybe they could be like a focus group or something of the sort.

Mother Sayer: You know something. That’s not a bad idea. Sarah, you’ve been paying attention to how things get done around here. Before we continue, have you thought of how you will secure your ideas? Your creation has worth. Have you kept your intellectual property ideas close?

Sarah W. Certainty: If you mean have I shared my plans with anyone? No I have not.

Mother Sayer: Good. Listen to me now Sarah before you go on with your dreams. I want them to steadily come to fruition, but there must be some ground rules to follow to getting you there. I have only 3 that matter.

Sarah W. Certainty: Lay them on me sister.

Mother Sayer: Stop. Now who’s joking? Any who. First, ‘EXILE’ your mind from the details with everybody but us three. Uoherbhai, you are now Sarah’s first officer. We will figure an official title at another time. You are sworn to secrecy about everything you have seen, will see and what you heard here from today forward. Is that clear?

Uoherbhai: Yes Mother Sayer.

Mother Sayer: No one, not even your immediate family, friends, neighbors or anybody you want to tell about your promotion needs to zoom in on the shiny object hanging around your neck. Again, are we clear?

Uoherbhai: I’m to keep everything about the ‘Captain’s’ project to myself is that right?

Mother Sayer: Would you look at that? Someone else has been paying attention around here in the halls of the ‘ARC’ as well. Very good Uoherbhai. Not so introverted as I was led to believe you were.

Sarah W. Certainty: I made a good choice Mother. Did I not?

Mother Sayer: Yes you did Sarah. Uoherbhai (pronounced ‘Her Hi’ by Mother), we’re giving you a phone. Do you know what that means? (This is a common test that Mother gives to get a feel for the new wolf, or not, that she lets onto the plains to hunt for prey. Females do most of the hunting to feed the young Mother says, and this is a young company(whelp) that must be fed constantly to properly grow).

Uoherbhai: I appreciate you isolating me Mother. I work best that way. I will try to be more outgoing with the two of you.

Mother Sayer: That’s not why I believe Sarah chose you. (Mother looks at Sarah and knows she has manipulated the circumstances adeptly. Mother wishes she could be surprised).

Sarah W. Certainty: Uoherbhai will do just fine. May we continue? What are the 2^nd and 3^rd rules you have for me?

Mother Sayer: The 2^nd rule is just as critical as the first. This idea of yours needs protection. Your father needs to be kept in the fold. He has contacts and the reach of knowing certain kinds of people in far more areas where money changes hands than I do. He could help you navigate where to source materials quicker.

Sarah W. Certainty: Are you serious? Mother? Wait, wait. (Sarah thinks for a minute, a long minute, then she speaks in broken English). I, this, we, what about Uoherbhai? She could be hurt? I don’t know. My father is not an easy man. I love him no matter what, but we have to involve him slowly? You know. Get up and running first.

Mother Sayer: Right right. We will play it by every brick we lay. Right after the foundation has ‘solidified’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Upon that rock we will build ‘Sew-Wear’ and the hands of thieves shall not break in to steal it.

Mother Sayer: Funny, but declarative. We will have what we say. Now are we clear on what we need to ‘exile’ and what we need to keep close?

Sarah W. Certainty: No. Tell me what you mean?

Mother Sayer: ‘Exile’ means there are a lot of things that you will not be able to enjoy as much as you have in the past. When you start a business venture or any kind of endeavor that needs a lot of your time and energy; you’re going to have to give up a lot of things you normally do all the time.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like going home at 6 p.m. every weekday. Having weekends off. Eating at my desk will be normal for a long time to come. That sort of thing?

Mother Sayer: Yeah. That sort of thing. However you frame it in your mind is up to you. I use the terminology that is akin to exiling things that are not needed to complete my tasking. It’s up to you, but make no mistake. If this is what you believe is needed, then focus on doing that. Make ‘Sew-Wear’ the standard in how people love to ‘dress’ themselves.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother. I will.

Mother Sayer: The 3^rd thing is this. Take a notepad everywhere you go. Do not talk on the cellphone in open company meaning in the street or outside of this office space. Sarah, you are the gatekeeper. Now listen to me. This is important. It is all up to you. ‘Sew-Wear’ is your baby. Can you imagine what it takes to care for a baby?

Sarah W. Certainty: I will go with that analogy for now. Go ahead.

Mother Sayer: You have to protect ‘Sew-Wear’ from harm. You have to feed her. You have to give her what she needs to grow both mentally and physically. You have to decide what kind of person she will become.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh my goodness. Do I have to wake up in the middle of the night to change her diaper?

Mother Sayer: If she is crying, metaphorically, yes. That’s what the notepad is for. If you don’t want to get up and write, then have a recording app on your phone or a recording device always by your side. Woke or sleep.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay. That’s better. I’m beginning to get the idea.

Mother Sayer: Do you? Cause it is a dream you are trying to bring to life. Your dream is just waiting in the ‘energy’ vortex that is ever present around us all. ‘Dreams cometh through the multitude of business’. Something like that. What? You think our thoughts are inconsequential?

Sarah W. Certainty: I beginning to think they are not now.

Mother Sayer: Look. I know I speak sometimes with a nod to the ‘metaphysical’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Sometimes?

Mother Sayer: Okay. A lot of times. That’s why I want you to now focus on what you need to ‘EXILE’ from your life, your thoughts, and anything else that doesn’t matter. This is a critical time for you. You have decided to make your dream a ‘reality’. The best thing you got going for you is that I got you ‘covered’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like you got my ‘back’.

Mother Sayer: Yeah like I got your ‘back’. Add to that your front, sides, all around, over your head and under your feet.

Sarah W. Certainty: That would ‘cover’ me entirely.

Mother Sayer: Don’t concern yourself with understanding me now. Just know that I know what it means to ‘cover’ somebody until they can come forth of their own abilities.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like helping a newborn baby to stand for the first time.

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah. Just like that.

Epilogue:

(Mother Sayer believes more and more in why the ‘First Father’ gives everyone ‘time’ to achieve their purpose. Whether their purpose is good or evil. The First Father gives us all our time to do what we choose.

Sarah has chosen to sow her idea in a world that is filled with bountiful love and also bountiful hatred. Mother Sayer knows that there are others in the world that ‘cover’ others against such evil. Mother Sayer knows that the simple human will render an explanation that is good enough for the foolish people in the world. The people that are wise will know that it is sometimes necessary to sacrifice personal safety so that the ones with a righteous decree can have ‘time’ to fulfill their purpose.

Sarah has chosen an awesome task. To ‘SOW’ something good is powerful! Mother Sayer will make sure she will have the space, protection and the time to accomplish it. Just like her father Ableman Sayer did for her.).

ISSUE 30: Medicare and Medicaid. Two Down One To Go. Social Security

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

What did I tell everybody would happen? I said that the Republicans would come after Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Did I not say that here on www.landcause.com?

Listen to me. I will say this statement over and over again since the Legacy Media of ABC, CBS, NBC, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, FOX NEWS and their ilk keep making this crazy logic. ‘The exercise of my rights such as to protest gives Donald J. Trump the right to take my rights from me’. It makes no sense! That’s psychotic! Social Security will be stolen from the very people that need it. Why? Because the Legacy Media is still playing the game of ‘White Majority’ free press. It’s not one voice, opinion or skin color anymore. That game is over! No more demonizing Black and Brown people to amuse White Supremacists and White Privilege on Steroids! Everybody’s grandmother and grandfather is in danger from these drooling evil rich people in America.

Now I will demonstrate my ‘Black Folk’ wisdom by displaying a slice of ribeye steak I will be eating for dinner with some cabbage and white rice. Hey, don’t get on me about the white rice okay, I’m trying. Did you really believe what the ‘Legacy Media’ has been telling you all these decades about the deductions from your paychecks? How it was described by them as an ‘ENTITLEMENT’ when the truth was that it was your money all along. Your money you made from exchanging your labor for profit to care for your needs and the needs of your family.

How even now the ‘Legacy Media’ of NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX NEWS, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL and all the spinoffs have consistently lied to you about the money you agreed to set aside for your retirement and medical needs will now be given to the wealthy while falsely claiming to help balance the Federal Budget. Really? I don’t know about you, but I don’t pay my mortgage to have my mortgage company turn around and tell me we’ll use it to go to Paris, France to the summer. A vacation my mortgage company will take on my dime and never have to pay me back!

This is the ludicrous kicker now. The Republicans are giving our money to the rich! Imagine that. Money you traded physical labor for. Paid it into a system for your use at a time when you really need it. Money that should be off limits to these slobbering Republicans skinning and grinning as they just give it to the rich and wealthy without blinking an eyelash. Money no different than you going to deposit in your local bank account. All given to the wealthy by the Republicans without a whimper of remorse.

Look at the video as I get a lot more aggressive in how the wealthy could give a rats ass about your grandmother. Do you remember what the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said, ‘Only the fraudster would cry about not getting a Social Security check’.

Your own money? Mr. Lutnick said you are not the owner of it!

Two down. One to go. Bye bye Social Security.

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 58 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 16: Judges

Out In Black: Episode 20

This written portion of ‘I Found My Brother’ will be quite short as the need to speak on camera about my respect of Judges and their albeit ‘small’ forays into injustice. I will endeavor to use my 10 to 15 minutes to fully stay on the topic. Judges render soul altering decisions which should be tethered to righteousness. All too often, some judges, a few to be certain, have forsaken their duties when the scent of approaching evil is on the air. We cannot relieve them of their station nor forgive them when the power to stop injustice is brought before their courts. We shout to them as our voices are carried on the thundering of mighty winds. Render a ruling that affirms the faith of the ‘First Father’ in JUDGES!

Enjoy the podcast episode. Thank you.

MENTAL HEALTH: EQUAL HEALTH

Mental Health: Equal Health

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

First things first is we must wrestle this false superiority of knowing what is mental health away from the general conversation about it. Five years of Mental and Behavioral Healthcare experience has allowed me to uncover many expert opinions about it, and all such opinions deriving from seemingly enlightened patients. Granted some self-care explanations were on track, but being close to the answers cannot be the standard.

Issue 20: Huh? A Zealous Advocate?

Out In Black: 21

I know. This post should be out of order. I mean this digital periodical is about mental health equal health. The answer to why do I cover the topic of lawyers here is for exactly that reason. Don’t be surprised that lawyers or any professional organization would succumb to a threatening situation that is unfamiliar to them. I mean lawyers do operate in an environment of adversarial combat, so it is reasonable to believe they saw the shakedown from Donald J. Trump through the rules of their profession.

Now, here’s where their wisdom failed. These lawyers only feared a perceived cascade of consequences if they lost access to the Federal Government. No entry into federal buildings. No access to sensitive government contacts or material. This led these law firms that kissed Donald J. Trump on his ass to focus on those possibilities instead of the actual circumstances of what was happening. Donald J. Trump doesn’t have the power to deny citizens the right to pick or seek legal advice of their choosing. Are you serious lawyers?

This all brings me back to my advice to every company able to hire a trained professional in the mental disciplines. A Philosopher, therapist, psychiatrist, mental health technician or anyone with a background in discerning the world beyond whatever crisis presents itself. Look lawyers, it happens to everyone as threats always shuts down reasoning in real time. That’s why companies need thinkers that can see beyond the dollar signs blurring your vision. Well, that’s why you fell for the okey dokey didn’t you?

Now, let me say this. I don’t know if the lawyers that got on their knees can recover their dignity without shutting down and starting over. I mean, what you did when it mattered is what the record will always reflect. No amount of talking or explaining will recover a ‘surrender’. I’m actually sorry for you.

My suggestion is to shut down and put that name on a pile of shit and burn it like we burned our shit(I do mean actual human feces) in Afghanistan. There is no going back to a tarnished name in an ‘arena of combat’.

You threw down your ‘weapons’ because you feared your opponent standing before you! That is the worse fate of any self-respecting combatant. To not even take a swing? How could a lawyer do that? Of all the professions in the world how in the ‘HELL’ a lawyer would not take a vicious haymaker of a swing in response to someone looking to take them out!

This is the truth. Donald J. Trump isn’t someone to be feared. True power is using it in ways that are subtle. Here’s the important point to all of this. With power. You actually have to sustain it beyond a title or position you temporarily hold! Donald J. Trump doesn’t own the Presidency of the United States of America you stupid motherfuckers! Get that through your mistresses and sordid bisexual trysts substance use disorders thick fucking skulls.

Zealous advocates indeed? Yeah, more like zealots advocates for clients until somebody holding some phantom power scares them enough to make them not come off the porch with that fake ass baritone guttural barking.

Issue 21: The 4 Powers

Out In Black: 23

#2: Crashing Waves of Water

I am starting with the second power because I believe it inherently exists to teach us of one of the character traits that makes water a formidable force to oppose. Water is patient. Water rejuvenates. Water is an essential element of all life as we know it. That is why this trait of water is unable to be withstood. Water is consistent because it can never stop. Water has the greatest asset of all on its side. Time.

This is why I believe I was placed on this Earth. Not to be endowed with all the answers before I am truly able to discern their meaning, use, and direct their purpose. I had to learn over nearly 6 decades of life to understand what I have been given in due time. When the ‘First Father’ bestows knowledge upon me; it is not for me to say to him, ‘You’re late, I needed that information last year, or last week, or yesterday’. I have learned to understand I will receive the gift of knowledge and wisdom when he thinks I can process it. Period.

Now, I am glad to look back over periods of my life and overlay it with what I have learned. I must say I cast a big smile in my mind which manifests itself on my face. All the soldiers I have trained. All the people in the jobs I have influenced. Utilized patience with. To see them all grow and become greater in rank and standing than I ever did brought swells of emotion to my heart. Both in and out of the Army. I’m glad they are taking care of themselves. Taking care of families. Doing the right thing. I pray for them even now.

To see all that power coursing through their bodies was undefining to my senses at the time, but I knew one thing for sure. It was not my calling to suppress, restrain, disqualify or describe their power in negative terms. I often mitigated intense conflicts between them. Showed confidence in their abilities. Pulled most of them out of their reluctance to take leadership. Showed them how to build trust in their people and not shit on them like what our superiors did to us.

I made sure they knew that ‘asshole’ leadership style would not get them very far. ‘Fear’ burns itself out really quick when you are facing soldiers or civilians full of power themselves! I so worried about my soldiers being like the leaders I hated when I didn’t have the rank to shield myself or my comrades from their evil.

I took all my soldiers to Afghanistan twice and didn’t lose one. After 24 months in country and many ‘clips’, we all came back home with our heads held high. We looked after each other. Admonished each other to rely on our training and each other.

The consistency of water crashing against the rocks. Water is patient. Water has time. The rock does not.

Issue 23: Avoiding the Stairs Again

Out In Black: 19

I remember the days when I was racing home to call into a radio show to take a guess at whatever was the contest of the day to win some money. I remember when I lived in Mobile, Alabama traveling West to Biloxi, Mississippi to gamble. Again, trying to win money. Who can forget the heady days of Publishers Clearing House. All those magazines I ordered never dispatched a team with check in hand to my door. Oh, I saved the best for last. The Lottery was always the best odds at fulfilling that purpose of buying tickets to gain a better life.

The funny thing about wishing for a better life in the real world through each of the options I just mentioned is akin to grabbing air with my hands thinking I could inflate a balloon that way. It’s insane I know, but I made several attempts to do it all to no avail. The metaphor is applicable to my reasoning why I thought I could make a better life for myself through those means I mentioned above. It was all a ruse perpetrated against my gullible mind.

It seems Americans have always fallen for this stuff. The people with evil intent seduce you with simple reasons for your lack of success. These evil people never tell you the truth that it is your own fault that you can’t marshal the energy flowing inside to achieve tangible outcomes in your life. It is always somebody else’s fault for your failures. It works because it has always been easier for the simple minded among us to reject the facts that success takes sustained sufficient effort over time.

That’s why all those easy choices of spending a little bit of money for the chance to win big money always worked. Imagine that weighing on your heart day after day. Month after month. Year after year. Now imagine waking up one day and realize that you’re not living the life of avarice you knew you had coming. What do you think that would do to an average mind let alone a simple minded person? It would make you start to look for causes of your pathetic life away from a mirror.

This isn’t calculating the thrust it takes to escape Earth’s gravity. This is simple shit. If you have not achieved your dreams, goals, wishes or purpose you believe to be God’s plan, you are the only one at fault for that conclusion period. No one else. You! Your skin color may afford you certain privileges over other people, but you still have to make it on your own dime. Of course, everybody that has obtained success had some help.

May I conclude with this statement. Take the stairs. Put a plan together and start it. I want to make an announcement. When I started this website; I didn’t think I could do it. Writing scared me. I was stuck on how it could be done because I didn’t have blatant examples of Black people writing stories. I mean stories that I could reach out to and ask how they were doing it. I used to read the end credits of television shows to try and recognize some names I thought were Black folks.

Anyway, I want to express profound thanks and gratitude to every user who signs up and has signed up on www.landcause.com. Because of you, I have surpassed my goal of my first 100,000 users! I look forward to continuously providing the rich stories, unique takes on the issues of life, growth of the human condition and to champion good togetherness by calling out the good and the evil that could consume us all.

I believe the only way to the truth of reaching our better selves is to never shy away from inquiries. No matter how difficult the subject matter of those inquiries. As I have and will always say in my Mental Health: Equal Health periodical, ‘There are no off limits questions in Mental Health’.

If you cannot handle the discussion, step away or step back, but the question must be addressed period.

Be well. All my people.

That is what a human being looks like. If someone is your friend that is how you show it. Former Vice President Kamala Harris showed her love for former President Joe Biden. She wished him well and a spiritual recovery as we know the spirit is willing and the flesh is weak. That is how you show loyalty. Former Vice President Kamala Harris has again displayed the humanity we all should ascend to reaching when it comes to people we care about. Her love and affection for Former President Biden didn’t come after consulting with advisors. It flowed naturally as it should when you truly love someone.

I have another memory of a fond time serving in the military. Me and my soldiers were bringing our lunch trays to our table in the mess hall of a foreign redeployment waypoint. It doesn’t matter which one although I will reveal it was in a former Russian aligned country. As we were all sitting getting ready to eat, one of my soldiers spilled his food on the floor. When he did it he angrily jerked the tray forward spilling the rest as well.

The rest of my soldiers said to me, ‘Hey SGT Moseley, everybody’s looking, you better do something’. I said, ‘Hey now, he is your friend too, why can’t you all handle it?’ My soldiers treated their comrade with understanding and respect. They helped him pick up the spilled food and he went and got another tray. I won’t discuss or reveal why the specialist was in distress as it was a private matter which the soldiers gave him counsel.

This is my reasoning for handling it that way. It wasn’t that I was considered the ‘old man’ in fact I was the ‘old man’ looking over my soldiers like a stern, but teaching and guiding father. That is why I called my time in the military ‘some of the best times in my life’. A lot of my soldiers stayed in the Army and advanced in rank to the point where they blew pass my last title. I knew they would. They had unrefined explosive energy. Yes I chose the word ‘explosive’ purposefully because that correctly defined all that power coursing through their bodies. I was there to help them corral and direct that energy to measurable ends.

All my soldiers have done well for themselves. Those that stayed in the Army and those that got out of the Army to pursue the ‘callings’ of their own destinies. I would never ‘FORSAKE’ my soldiers! I ‘FULFILLED’ the duties and responsibilities of my station in the military. More importantly though, I fulfilled my calling to watch over those left to my charge.

What does that mean you say? Well, how can I explain it in as few words as possible. My Army career was aided by senior NCO’s who employed every trick in the book to get me motivated. For example, one SFC challenged me when he saw my hesitation to go to PLDC as it was called then. He said, ‘Ah, he don’t want to go, he’s not ready’. Of course it worked as I couldn’t resist proving someone wrong when they questioned my desire to succeed. I went to PLDC on short notice. I’m talking like less than a week to get my shit together and go.

I fiercely defended my soldiers. For example, one of my female soldiers was accused of disrespecting a SGT. My soldier was in distress. I told her, ‘lets’ hold off on going to our 1SGT and go talk to this SGT’. We went and I mediated the dispute between them two. I pulled the female SGT to the side and told her that she wanted to draw in our 1SGT. I proposed a solution. I said, ‘what if my soldier apologized to you. Would you accept that and close this misunderstanding’? The female SGT agreed and the matter was settled. My soldier was happy as I was also. I taught a lesson and my soldier learned one. You all figure out what lesson.

My soldiers were wrong in both instances, but I still handled the matters in ways that allowed them to retain their dignity while understanding that I expected ‘better’ from them.

Now I will explain the difference in what we have now as President Trump of the United States of America and what we could have had with former Vice President Kamala Harris. From the authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 28:4…They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Also Proverbs 29:12…If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.

Don’t worry, I will have a visual example of my thoughts on how ‘JUDGES’ should discern between good and evil when both stand before them. Forsaking people seems to come easily for the wicked. When you strip cancer research from the hopes of parents standing watch over their dying babies. You are wicked. When you ‘dismiss’ our sentries. Those that gather and analyze intelligence to keep us as safe as possible, for the sake of pleasing the ‘ruler’. You are wicked. All of you that serve in President Donald J. Trump’s cabinet. Live with the facts about what you are doing to the people that reside in America!

Please do not say you are fulfilling your oath. That would be blasphemous! When as a member of President Donald J. Trumps’ cabinet you do not speak truth; please know there will come a time when you will be before the ‘First Father’ himself when you are answering questions. Will you tell him the same lies you are telling us? Personally, I hope you do.

Whether you choose to ‘FORSAKE’ or ‘FULFILL’ your oath and whatever personal spiritual commitments you hold. Don’t act as if you have a pardon in your pocket thinking that it will be valid when you present it the ‘FIRST FATHER’.

But Donald J. Trump said, ‘you better take it God’. It was printed on stationary from Trump University. I wouldn’t be surprised if God didn’t laugh in your face when he says this. I’m sorry to tell you, but you ‘got played homey’!

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

A little bit of your time for a few questions and answers I have about who knows what, when and how to make it happen at the Stock Market. First question would be who is feeding Donald J. Trump information on when to make announcements about his tariff fixation? Who tells Donald J. Trump when to do it before the Stock Market opens, during the Stock Market hours, and after the Stock Market closes?

Curiosity is leading me to ask for a little more background on why tariffs triggered all what happened. The ups and downs, the losses and gains, in the Stock Market which oddly has peaked my mystifying bullshit detector meter thingy. I need answers people. As you already know, I was a registered representative years ago for a financial firm, so I know a little bit more than the average person about how money is multiplied in the market. Let’s take a crack at what I believe is going on because it’s still happening.

Donald J. Trump has a lot of people flowing in and out of his orbit from titled positions to business leaders to anyone trying to get his ear about some things. What if Donald J. Trump isn’t just saying those things about tariffs willy nilly? What if someone with information on when a company is about to release an IPO (initial public offering), or someone with knowledge about a huge company preparing a stock split tells a person they know has the ear of Donald J. Trump when to announce his tariffs? When to suspend his tariffs? When to announce the tariffs are back on? Get where I’m going with this yet?

If somebody is feeding Donald J. Trump information through a go-between or a direct contact, that is securities fraud! What does a mom and pop investor or a working stiff having a little money set aside each month to try and build a better future doesn’t know there are people with information they do not have pulling the levers of the Stock Market? What do you think will happen to the little bit of money of those small investors?

Let me say this. I don’t believe a word the talking heads on MSNBC, FOX or CNN are saying why the Stock Market goes up or down. I mean all the Stock Market indicators of the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, the S&P 500 and so on. When it comes to the Stock Market; the sluggard is wiser than 7 men and women that can render a reason.

I tell you what. Let’s do this. When this 90 day pause is up and Donald J. Trump rescinds his tariff pause again or whatever. Take a look at when companies decides to announce quarterly reports. Take a look at companies announcing inventories. I bet you a pattern will arise of market manipulation. Don’t believe me? We’ll see.

Look who is selling their stock before Donald J. Trump announces his next tariff folly. Who is buying when the Stock Market does a so-called ‘rally’ back to prior numbers? Yeah, I bet you a pattern will start to emerge of who is finagling who.

Listen to me! Who has data about shipping orders? Who has data about raw material costs? Who has data on what countries have it in abundance? Who has connections to who has contacts in those countries? Who knows who, what companies, has the money to buy their supplies at the cheapest rate?

Do you know these things American consumer? We are all getting set up for the biggest financial robbery in the history of America. From the Republicans giving the gaudy gilded rich a tax cut America can’t afford. These White Supremacists so hell bent on race baiting they don’t even know they’re about to get the ‘shaft’ right along side everybody else. To my brothers and sisters of Spaniard ancestry thinking White Supremacists and White privilege types on steroids will accept them as equals.

Everybody but the rich is about to be jettisoned as dead weight to fend for themselves. If voters do not vote out every Republican they see on every ballots from now until the 2026 midterms, America will be turned on its’ head for turning towards evil instead of pulling together behind a proven leader in former Vice President Kamala Harris.

A majority of Americans picked the evil guy. Oh, what I said above this closing will get worst if we don’t fight back with our hearts, souls and minds.

Think about more than just yourself sometimes.

Marvelous. It does take all of us voicing connected priorities to change spirits in doubt. All of us have to keep doing what we are doing. I will of course add my two cents when necessary. Let me say something that I believe is on the tips of our understanding. It is about all the people that cannot seem to make up their minds on what they believe in. It does seem for them that right and wrong, good and evil are moving targets.

This is what I believe.

‘Your spiritual nature already has decided. It knows what is right and what is wrong. It does not need counsel to clarify such things because the ability to discern good and evil should have already come after use of your spirit nature. What is the admonishment? “The Spirit speaketh expressly”. Therefore, for those of us that do know, when you are under trial, who you are will always prevail’.

I do mean both choices. Good or Evil. You have already picked one of the two. Frankly, for those human beings (say that sarcastically) that think they can wallow in the mire of evil and come back to good when they are finished are seriously delusional (again roll that over your thoughts with your head cocked to the side).

Okay, let me lay it on you. Donald J. Trump is bringing the whirlwind. Do you not know what a tornado or a hurricane is? Both have destructive power, but the ‘hurricane’ alters reality on a scale far larger than a tornado could ever imagine. America has chosen the whirlwind that is a fact.

Do you still believe that those of us that didn’t want him should just get out of the path of his destruction? No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will not!

I am not talking about my fellow Democrats, Independents and God fearing people because we already know. We don’t go back and forth over whether Donald J. Trump is an evil man. Donald J. Trump is an evil man period.

Fight him in the same manner as John the Baptist told King Herod he could not have his brother’s wife. Fight him in the same manner as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Fight him in the same manner as C.J. Miller lynched at Bardwell, Kentucky on July 7, 1893 by those good Christians in the South. The ‘THE RED RECORD’ by Ida B. Wells-Barnett tells his story starting on page 43.

Listen people, I don’t care what you do. Do what you want. Believe whatever you will. There is no such thing as ‘no cost’. If you tell yourself lies, lies will get you in the end. If you practice the truth, the truth will lift you above the clouds. I believe there should be a named mental disorder in the DSM-V. It should be called ‘American’. I mean the delusions we have told ourselves across time are legendary.

I mean really? Just because we say we’re the greatest nation to ever grace the surface of the Earth we just got it like that? I mean really? We’ve gotten our asses kicked in wars across the world too. What? We think of those times as a blip? Take AI, artificial intelligence, are you serious? A computer program that was called software is now called AI? You can’t make this shit up!

Lastly, this is my spiritual advice to former Vice President Kamala Harris (of which I will put on my website as well www.landcause.com) for her revival.

‘Only a champion realizes that a profound defeat cometh before a thunderous victory, to herald her greatest triumph’.

Be at peace.

Issue 19: What’s That Sound?

Out In Black: 14

How’s that song go? ‘You better stop children, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down’.

Before I start this post of Mental Health Equal Health which is Out In Black episode 14, I wish to again confirm my firm belief in the spiritual nature of growth. The spiritual can determine the right time for our mortal success if we chose to believe the one is supreme above the other. I wanted success so bad in my younger years I just knew if I achieved it in my ‘elder’ years I wouldn’t get to enjoy it.

Isn’t that funny? Funny in a way that my reasoning was so inept, so cunningly stupid and crass that I now look back on my youth trembling in gratitude to God that he waited to give me this enormous gift of writing and storytelling. Like a spiritual King slipped my success in the stack of laborious burdens that I had to accomplish before I pulled off the final task above it that held my success underneath it.

I liken it to the North Carolina Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court making quick judgments before they understood the implications and far reaching spillage of their authority. The North Carolina Supreme Court almost neutering themselves when the North Carolina State Legislature asked them to render judicial review unlawful.

Of course, the United States Supreme Court actually took the ‘door’ off the hinges to the room of ‘restraint’ when they told Donald J. Trump he was a ‘God’. Now, mind you, Donald J. Trump had that ‘door’ ground into saw dust and put on the back of a truck with no walls and took it out to high wind country. Yeah, who knows where all the specks of saw dust are now?

See, that’s what happens when you don’t judge properly what is before you, or you judge ‘before the time’ is right. I already told you where I got that snippet of scripture from, but for the sake of expediency I will give it you again. It is 1 Corinthians 4:5.

Again, these things would be funny if they weren’t so asinine! You think you’re so smart that people don’t have an agenda when they come before a court of law. Oh, they wouldn’t try to get me to ‘fuck’ myself would they? Oh no, no, that is something they never would try. Sarcastically? Yeah, say that last part with a look on your face that held the true disdain for these ‘conservatives’ behind your eyes.

And these are ‘so-called’ conservatives standing before these Supreme Court wise ‘conservatives’ asking them for something these justices believe at ‘face-value’, but the true motive is devious and it is hidden beneath in the ‘stack’ of papers they just handed them. Incredible isn’t it? These Supreme Court justices, no matter at what level they sit in our governmental systems, haven’t the slightest ‘tinge’ of that vaunted wisdom they so flaunt!

Oh, the phrase, ‘YOU GOT PLAYED HOMEY!’ doesn’t come close to the impact their decisions and near decisions they wanted to render.

One last thing before I close. That Bill Maher meeting with President Trump he so described as a man he thought he knew. Check out Saint Mark 6:3. If Bill Maher is judging Donald Trump from the pomp, prestige, and trappings of a temporary political office he doesn’t own, then you can say Mr. Maher’s judgment is as flawed and wholly lacking as those clowns that attempted to judge the son of God.

That’s why Jesus admonished us to always gravitate towards those that are without. The poor, the widow, the stranger, the traveler beaten and robbed, so we don’t admire all the wealth and circumstance that we become trapped by our minds believing the King ‘enjoys’ watching us be a glutton at his table when in actuality he wants to ‘slice’ our throat Proverbs 23:2.

Bill Maher wasn’t wrong in his assessment of Donald J. Trump charming him. That is a common response when you are so rudimentarily lacking of wisdom it is a cause for people to shake their heads at the stupidity coming out of your mouth! Bill Maher can never unsay what he said.

Now. It is time again for some Black Folk Sense. The ‘Rich’ man looking at you eating his fine food and drinking his fine wine and beverages is growing more and more fierce rage inside him. When you look at the King’s face though; the idiots that think it is charming are often the ones that lead innocents into the slaughter house off it. Then later they claim they never knew he despised the poor and disabled. ‘I, I didn’t see the crazy man I always seen sitting atop the throne’. ‘Ugg, How could I be wrong? I talk to a camera every day. It informs my view of people of all kinds’.

That is why the Legacy Media of ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST all print glowing stories of how Donald J. Trump is the best thing since cheese spread was invented.

‘Hey children what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down’.

That is the sound of intelligence being dumbed down as these Legacy Media companies always wanted it to be. None of them can walk back or correct the record on page ‘oblivion’ that they are to blame for justice being denied for decades in America. I don’t think you will ever see or have you ever seen a lynching on the face of their newspapers or magazines. Nor will it be a lead bulletin on their news shows ever! Don’t tell me now you don’t like or agree with Donald J. Trump. All of you have been promoting these demonic people in America as long as you stole this country from the Native Americans!

Tell me I’m wrong? I have revised my statement that all White people are the ‘last’ to see ‘injustice’ and ‘evil’ in America. Still though, when the White Supremacist and those that weaponize their White Privilege rear their ugly heads; I don’t see the heads of all these White People who claim they are against it rise as quickly to oppose them.

Get quicker on the draw and I’ll temper my disappointment in the block of White People that claim to practice human decency and the order that God actually wants us to live by.

Yeah, when human beings are being led to the death chamber it’s kind of too late then.

Issue 37: Here, Take the Shoes and the Whip Also

Out In Black: 15

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Blue Sky: vemoseley17.bsky.social

First, I am not knocking my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry for wanting to cash in on their newly minted status as the ‘largest’ minority group in America. You’ve surpassed Black people. Good. Let me tell you something before you get too comfortable throwing your support behind Republicans. White Supremacy and White Privilege on steroids still exists in America. Well, that’s something you’re ‘finding out’ right now anyway. That was supposed to elicit a chuckle from you? Well anyway, Donald J. Trump has ordered the round up of people that look like you’re illegal in America. His policies are not supported by me.

Mr. Garcia should have your support my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. Why? I don’t need to bring up all the examples of my people turning on each other. There is much recorded history for you to review when you have doubts it happened. The sense that Black people turned on each other knowing the ‘oppressors’ thought even less of them for doing it still vexes my mind.

Anyway, moving on. All the rights you enjoy I will say humbly this my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry; try to thank the Black and light skinned Brothers and Sisters of African Ancestry that took one for the team for you to have the rights all of you enjoy. Now, if you want to ‘earn’ them the way my people earned them I do have shoes on that I will gladly unlace for you to slip on.

I suggest you wear them. Why? Oh my God, you just don’t know what you have unleashed upon yourselves. Oh, by the way, here’s a whip I bought to keep me grounded in the facts of who it was and still do suffer unspeakable acts of cruelty for me to have my rights today. I still don’t have them fully mind you, but you would know that if you didn’t believe Black Folks were guilty as soon as you saw them accused of something right? Sound familiar?

Mr. Garcia is accused of being a wife beater. Mr. Garcia is accused of being a gang member. Mr. Garcia is labeled a criminal even though he does not have a criminal record. Where have you heard claims like these made in America? Oh, I remember. They are the go to mainstays of Legacy Media when they want to assist in the destruction of Black People. The Legacy Media of course being ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX NEWS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE NEW YORK TIMES and so on.

My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry do you really believe you will ever be White enough to be accepted by White Supremacy and White Privilege on steroids? True, as I’ve been instructed on that not every White person is racist, but too many White people stand idly by while injustice and vile cruelty is happening to everyone else. I’m going to tell you something that has helped me stay firmly on the side of what’s right.

Metaphorically, practice this or imagine being in a dark room at night with your eyes closed. That’s three things against you finding an exit out of there right? Now, imagine yourselves in the same room with all the lights on. Street lights shining through the cracks in your curtains and the exit sign is lit up like Christmas red. When evil presents itself to you it often comes after you in the ‘dark’. I don’t mean it being dark literally? I mean you have darkness covering your heart which unfortunately means that you will never have empathy or want justice for anybody. Proverbs 4:19.

I don’t want my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry to look down upon your distant kin that speak the same language you do. It may be a variant, but it is still your language. Don’t have an attitude of ‘I got it made and they (migrants) need to do it the same way I did through applying for entry into America’. Well, believe it not, the process might not be the best way for them to stay alive.

Let me tell you something that happened to me when I lived in Mobile, Alabama with my first wife. We had decided to move back to my home town of Birmingham. Well, I needed help loading the moving van. My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry lived above me in the apartment complex and I asked them for help. You know what happened? Without a millisecond wasted they said yes.

I told them I didn’t have much as I offered $10 dollars. They of course refused payment which of course again astonished me. I gave them the $10 spot anyway and thanked them profusely. I have many friends of Spaniard Ancestry and never considered them with anything but the utmost integrity.

My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. Don’t take on the ways of the oppressors. White Supremacists don’t care if you voted Republican. Republicans right now aren’t saying anything about helping Mr. Garcia, who was adjudicated to stay in America legally by the way. Not a single word of empathy for Mr. Garcia or his wife or his children. Hatred is still hatred no matter what form it takes.

My Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry, I implore you to be careful with whom you align your compass seeking direction, approval and peace from the threat of tyranny.

Black People from experience know that option is delusional.

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 8: More Woman Praise Means More Progress

Podcast: Out In Black 16

Needless to say this but I will say it anyway. Anybody looking honestly at the 2024 United States Presidential election knows that Vice President Kamala Harris put on a flawless performance. Now did some of her advocates make statements less than perfect? Sure. If I was the campaign manager, I would tell everybody if you make a mistake just say it. I would implore everyone before we start that if you are inexperienced in your oratory career; it is okay to pause a moment and slow down your speech.

Sometimes we all can get carried away wanting to please. I did the same when I was younger. I didn’t have someone advising me either that I needed to slow my voice down to allow my brain to align my thoughts and words. Refrain from anger when you’re insulted. The brain cascades off track easily when you react emotionally. Also, it is okay when someone doesn’t get the point the first time. Just paraphrase with more brevity and be concise.

The women in the Democratic Party are ascending towards the top of leadership as it should be. The more leaders that are given the opportunity the better. Women can fend for themselves. It’s in my writings on my website. As a matter of fact, I suggest many of you my loyal users that signed up please go back and reread my posts. Also go to my YouTube channel ‘Out In Black’ and subscribe. I promise you that I will strive to entertain and improve my delivery technique to make it more enjoyable.

I don’t care if Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez make speaking errors. I can tell what’s in their hearts. They aren’t there to make fools of themselves or a mockery of the process. Democrats should always be building up talent and by that I mean this. Make Democrats learn the ropes quicker. Have the newly elected ones start studying how to assume a chairmanship. Have Democrats reach out to all people and this is key. Reach out to the districts that mirror their districts in their states.

Remember it was the woman that answered God truthfully in the Garden of Eden. A woman don’t need to figure out her role. She already knows that she is endowed with the same authority as a man. Don’t continue the hype America created for you all women. Keep ascending to your station.

That praise you seek? It is within you. I don’t understand for the life of me why women and men ‘empty’ out all their God given strengths, and then replace them with ‘knockoffs’ of little quality and value? What do I mean by ‘empty’ out their strengths you say? It’s like this. When a person is born they age around capable or uncapable parents and people. Those human beings can either allow them to develop their own talents and abilities, or they can suggest to them what talents they possess.

Mind you, most parents don’t know what their children can do because they never take the time to discern their abilities. Discern means to watch, talk to them, receive feedback and provide a knowledge base of what has already been done in the world. In education I mean. My sisters were always taught to prepare or learn to be a housewife. Okay, but what about developing that brain of theirs’?

Anyway, just think of it like buying a box of colors or crayons and throwing them all into the trash. Yeah, you are about to assign the colors you believe are important. Your children have time to discover the colors and how they can bring their views about life into focus. What if your child or children want to use the color that was in the box you just emptied out? How would they know what colors were in there if you don’t let them explore their options, and then add another color by combining two or more colors to their creative drawing?

Praising women that have shown they got the skills at something is a good thing. Women children shouldn’t be ‘emptied’ out and told what’s the best version of themselves. When a woman becomes an adult she’ll know what’s best for her. If she then wishes to be career minded; a mother and or a housewife then that’s her decision.

Some Black Folk Sense if I may. My daughters are business minded and mothers. I never told any of them that all they could ever achieve was motherhood. I didn’t tolerate my parents trying to pigeon hole me. Definitely wasn’t going to let my brain be influenced into thinking I need to be something I would never achieve. Praise women. They earned it.

Mission Statement:

Let us be sure of one thing. Time is not a destroyer of time. Events are still laden with choices. What has been made cannot be unmade. What has been chosen and fulfilled cannot be unchosen and unfulfilled. I have seen constructs manifested from people who claim piety inflicted upon innocent lives without the most basic display of human rights.

The lure of joining the loudest voices as they are amplified by the ‘legacy media’ of ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, The New York Times, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal can and will offer many rewards, but the price is the stain of treachery that cannot be removed from your name.

Truth, is, alone. Truth doth not seek agreement. Truth therefore is undefeated in battle. ‘Out In Black’ seeks to exist close to wherever truth decides to stand. This podcast will never shy or cower to any unjust deed past or present. It is not an oath. It is simply a choice.

Come, uncover all that has been hidden and be free.

Episode 13: Ode to Years of Mental Health

I must sound the alarm on mental health for the legacy of mental health professionals. This post and video will be positive and a bit critical, but critical in the sense of learning by not putting faith in unfaithful people that manage these great mental health professionals with their egos. Management is the source of 99.9% of the problems in the expert application of the skills of my mental health professional brothers, sisters, transgender, gay, lesbian and every human being that chooses to live their lives by their own designation!

Wrong leaders

Good leaders

Staff not turning on each other is critical.

Having fun by dealing in the truth and holding each other accountable.

Mental health is my life. It is a calling that signals more to the dedication required for it than just exchanging physical and mental labor for money.

Behavioral health should be exactly what it is. It is not being sympathetic to patients misbehaving. They don’t need your pity. They need mental health professionals to call them out on their choice to be antagonistic to what is right and what is wrong.

Black folk sense: In the Black community we call that behavior trifling. In other words, ‘being stupid just because you can’.

Oh, this is sort of a knock on men. If men are so strong and powerful, why is the field of mental health dominated by women? Women of all races and colors? Men should be coddled and soothed? Really? I don’t care what political leanings get you cheering from your ‘Gameboy’ chair. Get off your ass and get in the game! I have witnessed firsthand these women. These women that you call weak and inferior take a lot of punches and stay engaged in a ‘hold’. Oh, if you don’t know what a hold is I will not help you ‘find out’.

Like I said. I have felt two times in my life where I really belonged. It was the United States Army and the second was in behavioral and mental health. The care for each other we must have in mental health. I mean we were all over each other literally. If you came into the unit and saw us on the floor ‘holding’ a patient you’d think we were lovers. Don’t get too sexual with your imagination now. We did it to subdue the patient and to keep each other safe.

The only other place I felt that kind of love was in the United States Army.

Conclusion:

Mental health is not a place to seek an income in the sense that the job requires more of you. How can I say this. Mental health is not a place to find yourself if you are still confused about who you are. Mental health is not difficult. It can only be difficult if you choose to deviate from the rules even for a second. That’s when you allow danger to pass through the ‘crack’. Being stout of heart and certain that this work is important helps stop a lot of patients from tumbling too far down holes they’ve opened underneath themselves.

Boy dreaming of being somewhere. Not the projects

Being a millionaire

Believing what somebody just told me and turning the words around to be something else totally.

Black Folk sense to it: When you are told something from a Black Adult who has dealt with you righteously, believe what they are telling you.

The World of Make Believe says that everybody bows down to the bully on the block. Point out an example to me in history where eventually the bully didn’t get knocked down. It may not happen immediately, but it happened.

Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 58 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 15: Merry Go Round and Round, Merry Go Round and Round

An Out In Black Episode: OIB 11

What did I tell you about the United States Supreme Court? Did I not say these 6 wise Republican Supreme Court justices would usher in the destruction of America? It’s not funny anymore is it? Donald J. Trump just spat in the face of all 6 of those U.S. Supreme Court justices, and I bet you out of all 6 of them not a one reasoned this day out. Not a one knew or even considered the consequences of giving a devouring lion access to all the prey (us) in America.

I mean we ought to mark April 14, 2025 as a date that will live in infamy. Their wicked act of making Donald J. Trump unaccountable to American law has made us all jesters for his amusement. Everyone should send a thank you note (electronically of course) to these U.S. Supreme Court justices with a poop emoji. For shitting on all of us and making our laws impotent when we needed them to be unbreachable!

Again, my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard ancestry, look at how Donald J. Trump is treating one of your own. If you are good with that, then God help you because that ‘roaring lion seeking someone to devour will be you’.

Ah, my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry the admonishment I warned you about has arrived. Donald J. Trump, with a shit-eating grin across his face, laughed at one of your own. There is plenty of wisdom to say ‘I told you so’, but the passage about ‘Because he didn’t come for you’ it was okay? To say Black people deserve condemnation without justice?

Well, how does it feel to be wearing our shoes now? Oh, and you can continue to fool yourself that Donald J. Trump wouldn’t randomly round up more of my Brothers and Sisters of Spaniard Ancestry. Even if you are American. I’m sorry. I gotta say. This shit would be funny if it wasn’t insane!

I’m sorry, I don’t derive enjoyment out of the suffering caused to someone else. Just because the pain is not being inflicted upon me doesn’t mean it will not be! Get that through your thick heads America!

I will lay this scripture out from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. 1 Corinthians 4:5…Therefore judge nothing before the time.

Now that’s some serious Black folk sense which I will say Black folks have practiced throughout ‘time’ in America!

It is peculiar that the most sought after flavoring for your chosen dish, your chosen meal, that you wish the seasoning to be bitter to the taste. Again, no political party can grant the wish of 330 million people. I will say it again. No political party can grant the individual wishes of three hundred and thirty million people!

Yeah, just like Elon Musk created all the rocket technology that he uses to send our satellites into outer space. Yeah, the Federal contracts he now gets. Elon Musk is benefiting from taxpayer dollars that were used to create that rocket technology that Republicans now say Elon Musk created! Are you shitting me?

Yeah, just like all the unicorn magical money the Republicans are going to find in gutting the Federal government. Kicking our neighbors out of work. The neighbors that by the way make sure that your grandmother the Commerce Secretary says is a fraud for wanting her money back every month she deposited into Social Security. Bitter indeed to the taste.

Keep on seasoning every meal you make with bitterness. Sooner rather than later you won’t be tasting anything sweet or sour ever again. Only the aroma of bitterness from choosing Republicans will creep into the curtains, the walls, the carpet and flooring throughout your home.

Article 15: Gone Sour Huh?

Well we can certainly agree that putting your faith and truth in an unfaithful man is asking for things to go wrong. Donald J. Trump is not a conundrum. This man is not somebody that is so known by his type it is insulting for people to say they didn’t think he would do what he is doing. That’s ridiculous. People, draw on that last percent of truth telling you have within your soul and admit you were joining the chaos mob when you pulled the lever for Donald J. Trump.

Thankfully, there are people who are refraining from ‘I told you so’ to help us save ourselves structurally before all the cracks start letting in the ‘waste water’. Yeah, like the dam is still in place, but it is not impenetrable.

Episode 10: Sweet, Sour, Bitter

What manner of God endows us with the ability to instantly renew and strengthen our bodies? That is the essence of sweetness and the meaning it has to our very existence. As our mouths consume what is edible, it is immediately attacked and broken down for the fuel that send us off to new adventures. But we must also be careful not to only expect the sweet tastes of life. Many things we must consume will be sour and bitter. The experiences will make our faces turn unrecognizable for a moment. These other tastes represent the balance that is present in all things important.

Learn them as I have. They are not bramble bushes aligned along the path to prick and scratch you for no purpose discernable. The reason is quite clear they are there. Try your best to accept them, maybe as markers, to keep you out of their snares. Being marked by them won’t be seen as an ode to troubles of your journey.

Walk well. Run if you need to. But keep your eyes on the road. To know where you are headed leads in to the satisfaction of your arrival. When you do reach your destination, take a respite, for your journey may not end there.

That is the sour and the bitter of life, for you may be needed further up the road.

This post follows a post I laid out on my Facebook and dovetails right into my podcast ‘Out In Black’. It deals with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion while explaining the origin story behind the push to treat everyone with decency and order in America while bearing and battling fierce resistance.

Now, this phraseology of mine has come about after many years of walking amongst my White brothers and sisters with the purpose of understanding their reluctance to accept some basic truths. Here it is in Black Folk sense.

‘You don’t have to have had a hand in creating a system that you now benefit from’. In other words, White Supremacy and White Privilege is real. These systems were created to keep every other race oppressed and suppressed. Now, that is how you will answer all your White family, friends, co-workers and political commentators that throw it up in your face about how you need to come into the 21^st Century.

Enjoy the video. More to come.

“I COULD CARE LESS”, DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Do you believe him now? Let me put some ‘OUT IN BLACK’ Black folk sense to his words. When somebody says they could care less it means it applies to every aspect of their lives. That attitude I have seen countless times in 58 years of life. So, citizens, when you are sitting in a dark house because the Social Security Administration was intentionally sabotaged to self-implode, blame yourself. If you cannot access medical care for your grandmother when she is wheezing with a look of impending death on her face, blame yourself.

Now, here’s the solution. There are two United States Congressional seats up for election in Florida on Tuesday the 1st of April 2025. Vote for the Democratic candidate in both those races. If you do that, we might have a chance to stop Donald J. Trump from stealing money from the poor to give it all to the rich. In Wisconsin, there is a State Supreme Court seat up for election. Vote for the Democratic candidate. If you do that, we will have a chance to stop Donald J. Trump from establishing a monarchy right here in America.

Black folks know the look of people who don’t give a damn about nobody. Absolutely, there are still some Black folk that will stab their own people in the back if a nickel is in it for them!

Listen to me now. I must end this post right here. Believe what you will. Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party all over America care nothing for the poor. The Democratic Party has always sought to open doors for everyone to succeed.

The contrast cannot get any clearer than that. ‘You reap what you sow’!

I don’t want to get too mushy as I have achieved what I have set out to do. Establish a voice for the Black community that is uncorrupted by evil. Don’t get me wrong now. I will answer for all I have done with the spirit encased in my flesh, but what I will not answer for is standing idly by while injustice, evil and stupidity engulfs my people.

Black people have a voice too. Now I am projecting it to the world. Enjoy this introduction. More of this content that is coming behind it will not be soft. I will go back to what I grew up with down south in Birmingham, Alabama. No nonsense around children or adults. Black folk sense will now be in full effect.

See it for yourself. Did you hear me?

Issue 20: Lives Built On It!

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are paid for through the blood, sweat and tears of all people so that the elders, children (fatherless or not) and women may have dignity and be treated decently as spiritually commanded of us all. There are 2 verses in the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible that govern me in reverence. Isaiah 10:2 and James 1:27. As in keeping with my translated presence, I will not lay out the verses in my posts again.

Now, tell me this. Who targets old women for plunder? Who targets children for plunder? Who targets the afflicted for plunder? Who targets men and women to include human beings of all types and genders (service people of our military) who have stood watch in desolate places of the world to ensure we live a frolicking carefree life?

I will tell you who targets these groups of people for plunder. They are Donald J. Trump. Elon Musk. Republican Senators, Republican Congress members, and Republican Supreme Court Jesters, oh Judges I mean. Right now these Federal dealers and wielders of power and authority actually believe they can rob and steal money, hopes and dreams which are actually paid for services and call them ‘ENTITLEMENTS’!

‘ENTITLEMENTS’! Let that marinate a minute. It is not as it was in those scriptures from the Holy Bible admonishing us to care for those in greatest need with our combined personal support capabilities. Because in those times it was the church that gave the assistance when those with direct responsibility to care for a loved one could not do it alone. Guess what people? People in government that were in the midst of evil, bigotry, oppression, discrimination and racism troubled by fake Christians decided to get it done anyway?

They decided to petition their government to provide for the needy amongst us in America. They created a system whereby human beings could administer services to those destitute members of our society. In spite of all the naysayers, Pharisees and Sadducees, thwarting them every step of the way, established Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid!

Now, as I have stated above. In ancient times, help was dependent on those spiritually hearted believers that felt they had a moral obligation to stay their inclination to turn the other cheek to the suffering of others. Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk feel no obligation whatsoever to any of these high moral callings. None!

Elon Musk called Social Security a ‘PONZI SCHEME’. A Ponzi scheme! Now if you want to you can pretend like you didn’t understand a word of this post, but you will only be lying to yourself. The people created and paid into this 3 tiered system to soften their twilight years so they wouldn’t be a burden to loved ones or the church. Elon Musk, a South African apartheid product, says to the sick and elderly, children and afflicted, go fuck yourself!

As co-President of the United States, I, Elon Musk, will rob you as the scripture has told you I would. ‘Widows and children are the prey’!. That’s what Elon meant right?

I will say it again. Why is it that ‘White’ people in America are always the last to recognize evil in this country? Why does everyone else has to suffer because ‘White’ people want to hold onto some old forgotten ‘Lost Cause’ ideology? Will ‘White’ people ever stop stymieing progress in America? The Democratic Party had big plans for America that would prosper American society for all.

Look, the ‘Legacy Media’ is to blame for a lot of the stinking thinking in America. Only because they were the only game in town for decades. Now the ‘Idiot Media’ I mean ‘Legacy Media’ is crying foul because the stench of their shit has changed directions with the prevailing winds.

The ‘Legacy Media’ has called Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid entitlements! The ‘Legacy Media’ has caused Americans to have a mental complex about what those 3 programs actually do for Americans! Americans, call out any media outlet that called programs you pay for ‘entitlements’! Ask them do you call 401k’s entitlements? Do you call car insurance, homeowners insurance or dental insurance entitlements? Is food, clothing and shelter entitlements?

Americans, let’s get back to doing things that help each other instead of letting these buffoons give ‘Heil Hitler’ salutes and call them geniuses. Really? Elon Musk is a genius? I would say the people that work for him are the true catalysts of his greed and depravity against our elderly and afflicted children.

Again, who the ‘FUCK’ cuts off cancer research for dying children? Somebody better answer me this fucking question! Who the ‘FUCK’ thinks it’s funny to view images of grandma sitting in a house wearing 3 coats covered by 5 blankets? Get a billionaire on television and have him laugh in my face to the hell I’ve described happening to our fellow Americans, and I promise you I will respect the ‘SHIT’ out of his right to be ‘EVIL’!

In conclusion. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are not part of the Federal Budget to be spent on anything other than what their funds are collected to support! Full stop!

Landcause.com users, fans and subscribers. Tell your elected Federal representatives that if the money is short to stop cutting taxes on the rich degenerates in American society and they will have the money to fund the government properly. Make everybody pay their fair share as it is the bargain we all agreed to as members of our society right? How’s that for a solution dumbasses!

Lives are built on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid because we paid for them!

Episode 6: Remove the Sentries?

Before you proceed any further I need to make one thing crystal clear to you. This is a post about the discovery of a sophisticated plan to destroy America. If you cannot see the whole because you are fixated with the parts, please stop reading right here. Otherwise let me lay it on you.

The balloon that flew a certain track and entered United States airspace around or near the State of Alaska was a test run at vector seeking. The use of the balloon was not simply a transit device for surveillance equipment. It was part of the delivery system for an attack to possibly jam radio traffic or to gage America’s defense network response systems and intercept protocols.

The dismissals of the Federal workforce which includes veterans at a large percentage is strategic. American citizens that have served our nation in various defensive and offensive capacities are imbued with selfless service. As a veteran myself I can’t shake the multi-dimensional thinking that assaults my senses either. My awareness is way up about these firings. They are odd.

Children. Why did Elon Musk immediately target cancer research that plagues children? I believe it is to distract the parents and pull on the heartstrings of extended family to draw their energies away from building families and strong communities.

Why did Donald J. Trump chose a man like Elon Musk? I believe Donald J. Trump chose Elon Musk because of his upbringing in a cruel, vicious, despicable, savage and vile South African government system. Elon Musk cannot be separated from his environment. The cruelty Elon Musk is showing is second nature to him. Like taking a shit and somebody else wiping his ass!

Why did Donald J. Trump cease all aid through USAID to foreign causes and governments? I believe it is to increase the chance of upheaval which leads to fighting which leads to loss of life and suffering. Donald J. Trump wishes to create more people in the world that hate America. Mind you, Donald J. Trump is not the author of this plan. I will sum up my findings in my conclusion. Stay with me now.

Why is the United States Supreme Court full of back slapping morons? These 5 so-called learned White men (Clarence Thomas included) have made themselves buffoonish pawns in an elaborate scheme and they don’t have a clue they’re being played. Again, I’m not laughing here! Ruling against the express powers clearly lined out in the U.S. Constitution that each branch of the Federal Government possesses. The U.S. Congress has the power of the money you idiots!

The Defense Secretary of the United States just stopped intelligence operations against Russia!

The Defense Secretary just opened the door to cyber operations against America!

The Defense Secretary is removing Generals and Admirals that America has spent fortunes on schooling and stress testing!

Donald J. Trump has ordered all shipments of weapons and ammunition to halt in transit to Ukraine.

Don’t forget the warning which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said of America in its’ confident secure by a vast ocean that separates us from the fighting. That didn’t stop Japan from attacking us during World War II if I’m not misremembering that is?

Antagonizing our neighbors to the North and to the South. Is it meant to get them so upset that they will let their ‘guard’ down at the critical moment when a sophisticated attack occurs? I mean Canada and Mexico do serve as sentries to our North and South. Do they not?

Donald J. Trump rid us of our Inspector Generals.

Donald J. Trump rid us of competent effective seasoned leadership at the most storied crime fighting agency the world has ever known. The Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Donald J. Trump fired the Federal Aviation Administration chief.

Donald J. Trump fired our disease experts!

Donald J. Trump rid us of the United States Department of Agriculture. Who needs edible food?

Donald J. Trump rid us of the Central Intelligence Agency spies. We don’t need nobody to sniff out plots against America do we?

Donald J. Trump himself will inspect all our battleships, aircraft carriers, submarines and airplanes to ensure they meet all specifications to function properly when we need to go to battle with an adversary.

Donald J. Trump is planning with the help of the useful buffoons in the Republican U.S. Congress to bankrupt the United States of America with a tax giveaway to the wealthy that do not need any more of the money than they’re already stealing from their employees. Can’t make that shit up can you?

Donald J. Trump, with the help of the ‘idiot media’, I mean ‘Legacy Media’ keeps saying Social Security is part of government spending. Social Security is the retirement plan for all working, disabled and citizens eligible to receive it. Just because it is collected along with the other taxes does not mean it can be included with the Federal Budget. It is not a part of spending in the Federal Budget!

Donald J. Trump wants to take Social Security and steal it from all senior citizens and disabled Americans to again give it to the wealthy who already live a debaucherous lifestyle unimaginable to decent folk.

Grandma and grandpa don’t need their lights to stay on. I mean, why does grandma need heat? I mean she can wear 3 coats and cover with 5 blankets couldn’t she? In a house with no water or power right? Fuck grandma right? Rich people got to have their ‘freaky freaky’ parties right?

Donald J. Trump is aiming to dismantle the NOAA. Yes. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. You know it. It’s the agency that monitors weather events like hurricanes. Yeah, how much damage you think hurricanes can do with little or no warning? How many lives you think will be sacrificed for rich folks to having orgies?

Donald J. Trump is just a pawn. Elon Musk is a useful idiot. The Republicans in all 3 branches of the Federal Government are tantamount to traitors if we all were to judge them by their actions. None in that party of Republicans are wise enough to screw a lightbulb into place. There are forces playing them against America for their ‘love of money’. It is the ‘root of all evil’ I’ve been told.

The Federal Courts got to stay in the cause of America! Not just when they’re needed. The Federal Courts have to stay and do their job! How many times I need to say the same ‘DAM SHIT!’

Oh, forget it. I’ve been told to just let people dance naked close to a lion’s den covered in chicken guts. Bacon grease on their lips with chitlins wrapped around their waist. A blindfold of hot sausage over their eyes conveniently keeping them unawares of the danger that’s about to rip them to pieces.

I can’t do that. So here it is. The plot I see being deployed against America is this.

I posit my conclusion. There are people; our enemies foreign and domestic, a heck of a lot smarter and capable of asymmetrical logic seemingly disjointed but absolutely coordinated to result in this stated goal. The destruction of America thru chaos and suffering with every ‘SENTRY’ keeping watch over our health and wellbeing relieved of duty!

There it is.

OUT IN BLACK

Mission Statement:

Come, uncover all that has been hidden and be free.

Episode 5: Cleaning the clutter?

Let me begin this broadcast of ‘Out In Black’ quickly. Let me tell you where I learned some of the greatest lessons of importance in my life. The United States Army taught me a different level of clean through what is called ‘G I’ parties. Basically it is a set aside block of time to keep your living and work areas clean and clear of clutter. For some time now I’ve realized why I performed my duties of cleanliness at the behavioral hospitals. It is a simple revelation.

‘It is done to give those that have the least, in worldly possessions, or provide those people in despair amongst us; a living arrangement that shows them that the common areas of their temporary housing, in the facility that is, will be cleaned daily’.

Have any of you tasted despair? Uncertainty and doubt about what is possible in life? Those of us in the helping profession experience it every day. Trauma, mental disorders, behavioral issues in my opinion are synonymous with the onset of darkness. Nightfall to you. Over 7 years now in the field of mental health has allowed me to draw that conclusion. Therefore it is critical for me to continue battling for some form of decency and order for people experiencing mental health issues.

Having a clean, decent and orderly place to reside while undergoing treatment is a part of recovery. Listen, most people, including people who feel they aren’t sick, would hardly think about reassuring people ‘down on their luck’ that they deserve to be treated with respect. You know that’s true. Being able to walk into a dining room that has clean tables, clean chairs, a swept and mopped floor may not sound like much, but it is just as critical as therapy and medicine.

You can see it. In the eyes of patients. How their countenance changes. How their spirit is uplifted. Not for the gratification of the staff mind you. Just think of how you like to sit with family or friends at an appropriately prepared meal? It would shake a seed loose from a tree of love to know that somebody cares about you enough to try and give you that little bit of decency.

Elon Musk is a man of South Africa and its Apartheid Legacy. No? Look at his glee. In his face! The utter disdain of malice burned into his heart. He saw the cruelty and remorseless depravity inflicted with joy on Black South Africans that has darkened his eyes. Oh, right, he’s wearing sunglasses while brandishing a massive chainsaw. Don’t interpret the imagery, just believe it.

Why do you think Donald J. Trump chose this man to be the lead destroyer of his vanguard of ghastly ghouls bringing darkness and suffering to the ‘least among us’? Elon Musk was formed by his environment. An environment of heartless evil in South Africa that Donald J. Trump has greenlighted to sweep across America with the relentless viciousness of a plague of locust. Like a plague of frogs just jumping all in your boiling pot of soup on the stove!

I usually reserve a call of boycotting companies and products for the most selfish and greedy companies, but I am calling for every American to not buy Tesla cars, trucks or whatever this man sells. Remember this admonishment in Matthew. It’s paraphrased. “Do not cast your pearls before swine, they will simply trample them and turn and tear you limb from limb”.

I remember an admonishment from my childhood and I’ve heard it throughout my adult years in the Black community. ‘Watch out now, who you hang with, cause people will think you are just like them’.

This is Elon Musk. Who goes after cancer research that is being done to save the lives of little children? Who does that? Who goes after veterans, here and gone on to the glory of God, that have served America? Who goes after taking food out of the mouths of hungry little children? Just watching children wail and writhe in hunger pains while he belly laughs it up as he snatches the food from their hands before they can bring it to their mouths?

Who the FUCK does that! Who!

Elon Musk is the representation of the heart of Donald J. Trump. Keep thinking he is not and see what is about to happen next?

This clutter won’t be cleaned up for the next 2 years because the Republican Congress, a co-equal branch of government, has been deboned by Donald J. Trump. Elect Democrats soon, now, before this grand republic is a ‘clutter’ as well.

Issue 17: What If Your Instructor Is Void of Wisdom?

I’m going to go on and on about the ‘Legacy Media’. ‘The’ NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, and various newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the Washington Post have all just embarrassed themselves by not questioning the majority race in America. White People.

Why do you think White People grasp the concepts of injustice, suffering, racial equality, pain, diversity, inclusion and common decency last out of all the people in America? The White People in Power I mean. Right! You guessed it. When you have the power those other things about how to conduct yourself in decency and honor are irrelevant or more nicely said, an afterthought. Character and morals are quaint and usually reserved as topics of conversation over tea and crumpets.

How else would Americans characterize Donald J. Trump as a genius? A savvy and shrewd tactician of unmatched skill and subtlety? An artful dealmaker of insight and analysis that enables him to outsmart self-proclaimed spymasters and spiffy arrayed dapper don’s? I mean if you listen to the Legacy Media I don’t know why a college class hasn’t already been required before any degree is earned.

Look, this is what that apartheid loving buffoon Elon Musk and his sidekick Donald J. Trump are doing. They both thought that illegally browsing American’s most private information would uncover scores of undocumented immigrants receiving government benefits. Then, they thought that with that evidence they would be able to justify giving every penny taken in by the government to the wealthy. You know, gin up the useful idiots in America to further destroy themselves.

Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump aren’t working from a master plan to reach any logical or even primitive selfish goal. They are just winging it. Whatever pops in their minds at the moment that is what they roll with. I mean when the ‘COURTS’ finally do their job and tell them by law they are in error; then we will start to see the courts hold some or maybe all of these people accountable to include Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump.

The FEDERAL COURTS are the JUDICIARY! The courts are the third branch of government in a check and balance system. The courts need to start acting like it.

Now, do you understand why every outlet, platform, or information source is not a ‘BASTION’ of wisdom. The Democratic Party is not weak by any means. Democrats hold to their beliefs that government should be for the good of all. Just as the last scripture I told you about, ‘All must go down to the battle, men, women and their little ones and see the glory of God against a thought of insurmountable foe’. ‘For the battle is not yours, but God’s’. Look it up yourself!

Republicans have always divided and conquered. Let that be your lesson Americans. When you try your damned best to be White or wish you were White so you wouldn’t be attacked by White people in Power; I hope you now shamefully see the error in your reasoning. Everybody needs to be who God made them and work together against the evil that is making us turn on each other.

As I said and as I did when a patient came into the behavioral hospital I was working and a co-worker went off script and an uproar was rising amongst us. I said, ‘We’re not going to turn on each other’.

That’s right, if there is someone or some entity that has claimed a mantle of ‘wisdom’, but the history about that name makes loud dispute of the record. The instructor should not be trusted again, period!

Let that wisdom stand.

ISSUE 28: SNAFU?: Situation Normal All Fucked Up!

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Start at 2 Chronicles 20 verse 12 and finish at verse 18, but if you are daring I would recommend that you read Chapter 20 in its’ entirety from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible.

I will paraphrase for brevity. “Everybody and I mean everybody from the men to the women to all the children go and watch God fight your battles for you. Even join in when he expressly permits you”.

Come with me back to a time when I actively served my country honorably in the United States Regular Army. My clearance was secret. Boy, the protocols and procedures I had to follow to even get in the room with classified information were tantamount to viewing the ‘shattered tablets in the Ark of Covenant’.

Long story short, I made it my business to follow every step to the letter! Yeah, figure out what I was afraid of and don’t forget to include losing my ‘freedom’ in the list of consequences if I did not treat the information sacredly.

Now, let me commend every State, Local, Community and God fearing Church for securing their data systems and not letting any unauthorized individual to just waltz in off the street and peruse citizens private and protected information. First of all, DOGE, doesn’t even exist and that should make all lawsuits prevail in court. What? A quasi-government creation by a buffoon president is considered legal by our laws? Seriously?

Where’s the established record keeping requirements documentation? On what legal basis was DOGE established and for what purpose? Who do they report to? Under what legal basis does their staff have the right to view classified information without authorization or security clearance? I’m trying to stop my heart from racing now just thinking about what requirements I had to meet to hear classified information, not share it with anyone that didn’t have a clearance, and most of all keep my freedom. Are you shitting me?

Can somebody say ‘Presidential Records Act’?

In 3 weeks the most sensitive, private, personal and sacred data of every American citizen has been given to unvetted morons who don’t have a clue they’ve been set up to be patsies. How ironic Donald J. Trump is using his new band of idiots to break the law while his hands remain seemingly clean as a whistle. You can’t make this stuff up.

Do you really believe foreign espionage agencies hadn’t slipped an operative into this doofus gaggle of supposedly ‘tech bros’? Really? My information and the information of every American is assuredly in the hands of unauthorized personnel and I will proffer my reputation that those individuals and entities will do all of us harm. So-called Christians, hoot and holler that to the stained glass windows of your LYNCH HOUSES OF WORSHIP!

Nobody checking names off a list with levels of authorization. No records of who viewed, downloaded, uploaded or even let their friends and substance abusing buddies doddle in my file. Republicans think this is good for me and all Americans. Oh, they don’t? I don’t see them lifting a finger or turning their heads at the approaching catastrophe about to slam into us at full throttle.

Oversight my ass! How many of us have gotten a text message that looked legitimate about a package? Yeahhh! Imagine an exponential boost in their skills and abilities with all of your personal data? Cyber criminals must have been salivating when they heard that it was that easy to walk into government agencies and say you’re ‘DOGE’ and you’re given access to classified data systems no questions asked. I mean it probably took them aback!

Oh, and by the way, Donald J. Trump is not innocent in all of this malfeasance. Elon Musk is just an imbecile to believe he can parade a child around and that provided him a shield from scrutiny. What a cockamamie dimwitted dunce to think that worked. I don’t celebrate a Nazi saluting man from South Africa that benefitted from all manners of unspeakable atrocities committed against Black people while his family shielded themselves from all accountability. Gimmie a break!

Now I’m going to again explain what a society can and cannot do. Societies and governments cannot individually cater to anyone. That’s insane! Societies and governments must operate on the basis of everyone must be our priority. That’s what Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party were trying to get through the noise! How is it even possible to give everyone their wish? Over 330 million people in America. How can you possibly grant the wish of 330 million people?

The Chips and Science Act. The infrastructure law. The Affordable Care Act. Lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Student loan debt forgiveness. Climate control to save the planet from destruction. A plan to build 3 million affordable housing units. Don’t you people get it? The Democratic Party thinks big picture, but I guess helping everybody like God said has been twisted into a negative by the Republican Party. A Republican Party that gleefully watches the suffering and says, ‘How can we bring more suffering to the people’?

Are we all going to rise together? Yes or No?

Don’t count on the ‘Legacy Media’ saving us. I mean stupid question after stupid question these folks ask Donald J. Trump can onset a mental disorder. I recommend not watching any of them to include FOX News.

Maybe we should just keep electing buffoons that keep calamity rolling like going in circles around a racetrack? Ironic indeed.

Issue 22: Take Every Penny!

This is too good to be true. I know there are some lawyers slobbering at the mouth and tears of joy streaming down their faces leaving white lines of salt that doesn’t seem to sting their eyes at all. Why? What’s going on you say? First, remember what Anthony Scaramucci said on MSNBC to Elon Musk. He said, ‘Elon, you’ve got your money and your business. These people can hurt you in this town’.

I would sue Elon Musk for every penny he got. I would sue every worker of that fake ass agency he got viewing the ‘personally identifiable information’ of ordinary Americans. Now, how many of us, consumers that is, have given permission to Elon Musk to view our ‘private information’? Did we give him ‘permission’ in writing? I don’t seem to remember receiving a notice, disclaimer, authorization agreement to allow Elon Musk and any other stooge he’s got working for him to know my checking account data. My Social Security information which means it has coordinating data that details why I’m getting a disability check.

You get where I’m going with this. Donald J. Trump cannot give anybody blanket authorization to look at my information. He’s the President of the United States and last time I checked he doesn’t control my affairs in any way imaginable!

I would sue Elon Musk for every red cent of his $400 Billion personal fortune. I work in Behavioral Health and I don’t even have authorization to read patient charts. Why? Because I don’t have a need to know! Frankly I don’t want to know. Donald J. Trump can’t give nobody access to the files of every American, government employee, Federal Judge or sitting or pass member of Congress.

Yeah, I’m sure Congressional retirement checks are paid out through that Treasury database too. Americans, we will be receiving an economic stimulus payment after all. It will be coming out of Elon Musk’s pocketbook!

Am I going crazy or did the FBI just hand over personnel files of FBI agents to Donald J. Trump? Again, that information is not subject to be viewed by just any ‘Joe Smoe’ that walks in off the streets and demands it. Are we insane? Did that just happen?

Let me bring in the Federal Judges for a moment of clarity. The Marshals Service protects Federal Judges right? When Donald J. Trump comes after the protection and investigative and fugitive apprehension missions of the United States Marshal Service who will tell his ass hell the fuck no!

The CIA needs a buyout? I must be in bizarro world. The FBI is being dismantled! Who will receive the request to process fingerprints? DNA? Do a behavioral profile? Anyone see a pattern here? Elections have consequences doesn’t even begin to cover this conspiracy!

Somebody is using this buffoon of a President to destroy us! We better figure this shit out fast before he signs an Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Defense!

If not, remember what I said before. We’ll have Bubba, the local idiot, building submarines and warships while inbred Ginnie Maude prepares rations for soldiers on the front lines.

Somebody is whispering sweet nothings of ‘destruction to America’ in the ear of Donald J. Trump. Don’t count on the Republicans to save us.

Lawyers, start by taking every penny from Elon Musk and keep going. See if he gave Americans information to any other tech company or social media platform. Run that sombitch through the ringer with an additional spin before you pull his ass out the washer!

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

I’ve got to go back to scripture to start this post as many of my fellow Americans have claimed God gave us back this useless man Donald J. Trump. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. 1 Peter 2:19…For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

Let me inquire in the temple with these ‘rich men’ who think they are untouchable. What if Donald J. Trump fires the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that work in the area of ‘cyber crimes’? Tell me who will you turn to if these sophisticated criminals, some of whom are backed by the power of rogue nations (Hint: Russia, North Korea, China), ‘skin’ (look up its meaning by the word swindle) you clean out of your fortunes?

Who will you turn to then rich men?

Oh, let me tell you. The suffering will get you too. Think of this analogy. What if someone blows a hole in a dam? A dam that is holding back millions of tons of water from wiping clean the planet of a town just below it. A town that is quietly living life. Enjoying family dinners. Smiling at the joy they see as their children are playing without an inkling of fear beaming across their faces. Suddenly their lives are thrown into horrific suffering because somebody felt offended, and that one man now wants them all thrown into maddening pain.

Or take the energy that a parent is transferring to their sick child. A child suffering from one of those cancers that aren’t on the ‘curable’ list. Imagine how that parent now feels after their child’s team of doctors have informed them Donald J. Trump have stopped funding the research that may be right there! Right there in the sense that the answer is almost known! I almost have it says a doctor!

‘You do not know’, says Donald J. Trump. Shut down what you’re doing. That’s an order! Shut it the FUCK down now!

Tell me all this, all of the people that voted for this. How do you like Donald J. Trump now? What was that? You want him to turn up the volume of the suffering even more? Oh, I know you do. You will get all you’ve desired because it’s all about you right? All about the price of eggs right?

If I see a Federal Government employee fall for that ‘fake ass buyout’ offer I will plaster that person’s persona all over my next post. If there is someone that stupid, you deserve everything that comes with believing in Elon Musk. Elon Musk? Really? The man isn’t even employed by the Federal Government! Don’t help Donald J. Trump with his ‘mandate’ to unleash the greatest level of suffering upon us since the ‘GREAT DEPRESSION’!

He is well underway.

There are many Christians; I mean the ones who actually practice and live the tenets of caring about their fellow human beings who will now suffer wrongs they did not suffer to others wrongfully. So, if you’re not a member of the legacy of ‘lynch houses of worship’, I hope your suffering doesn’t last the next 4 years.

As I’ve said in another post on my site.

‘When you increase the sufferings of everybody. The chances are good that the people will not see the robberies being committed right before their eyes until the country is in ruins’. Remember I’ve always said to look at the history of empires in the ‘junkyard’ of time on the pages of nations led by fools and charlatans.

Stupidity. You bought it. Open it. Spread it about your table and enjoy your gathering. It won’t be long before it spills over the edges and ruins the flooring. Hint: The foundation will crack and oh boy you won’t like what happens next.

I must begin with scripture. As I have said before I am not your or anyone’s spiritual advisor. The truth however must be pulled from the pages of the Holy Bible. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Joshua 4:11…And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

The best way to distract people is…anybody? I’ll tell you. Drum roll please! It is to make everyone suffer. Can anyone tell me the 5 types of cancer that are curable? No? Anybody? Okay they are prostate, testicular, thyroid, melanoma and early stage breast cancer. I know most of you know where I’m going with this, but come along with me because most of you know it is personal as I suffer one of those cancers.

Many of you, my loyal readers and followers, have had a family member or known someone that has suffered from this scourge to the body. The endless worry and stress that taxes the mind, the soul and the body. The drain on productivity whether it is the breadwinner or sacrifices that everybody makes to have their loved one around just a little while longer. America, you know the weight of the burden of cancer.

Why do you think President Donald J. Trump stopped all funding for cancer research?

The scripture says it all. We’ve just gotten away from understanding that all the people are subject to judgment when a benefit is given to all of us. Sure, sure we know we are subject to our own judgment, but there are still decrees that cover every one of us. Cancer is one of those decrees.

So why would Donald J. Trump specifically target something that effectively can pass over all of us? Because the more he can increase suffering the more he can slip something by us like bankrupting the country by investing in the scam of crypto-currency. Giving the super-rich a tax break from money that doesn’t exist. So where is he going to find money? Hint. Trump is halting all those programs to skim off the top because he’s got to make good on the promise to the rich guys giving ‘Sieg Heil’ salutes!

Oh, and by the way, I’ve seen people who had their minds set on going into certain fields and causes. When those doors are closed; they don’t have time to sit idly by hoping ‘somebody’ changes their mind or comes to their senses. When that door closes, people are scooped up by their second option and the progress that could have been made in increases that ‘5’ to 6 or higher is gone forever.

President Donald J. Trump can’t do any harm? Yeah right!

You never learn!

Article 14: Reap The Harvest

As a Black man I’m sure that many people looking upon me would assume I do not trust the police. Never have, never will. Why? Ahhh, the greatest question ever asked. I’m not sure it (Why) should be soiled by association with the police, but lets’ just give it a hoot anyway.

The origin story for policing in America is a sickening one. From the glory days of hunting freed slaves to the wink and a nod of ‘NOT GUILTY’ verdicts of killing (lynching is a more appropriate term) Black people. Now the people who choose to enter the profession of ‘law and order’ must understand that. Do you think they do not? They know that they would go ‘Scott’ (Dred Scott) ‘Free’ for killing Black people no matter what reason a police officer offered up as justification.

That’s right! Dred Scott. Do you really believe that the Republicans fostered their ‘love’ of what the police can do to Black people just in recent years? The last 7 decades perhaps? Take a water hose for example. If a hole develops along the line of water transmission it reduces the effective intent of what the water hose is designed to accomplish. Metaphorically speaking, the same applies to ‘wrongs’ that have never been addressed in America.

The majority race, White people, are so embarrassed and ashamed of their ancestors that they go to great lengths to distract everyone else from the leaks, that are now gushing water everywhere, in the hopes that ‘distraction’ works to erase every ‘wrong’ from ever being answered and acknowledged.

Being astonished by Caucasian guilt should be a required course of study from middle school throughout post-secondary education.

The Wall Street Journal shouldn’t be applauded for calling out the ‘Grand Ole Party’ of Republicans for their President Trump releasing White people for assaulting police officers. Really? Even in their puff piece, they found many ways to soften their criticism of Republicans in our Federal government. Give me a fucking break!

Someone please tell me why the ‘Legacy’ news media still don’t understand why the citizenry doesn’t trust them to hold our elected representatives accountable? Just look at the questions they were asking Senators and Congressmen and women of the GOP why they don’t support the police anymore.

‘Do you agree with President Trump pardoning January 6, 2021 insurrectionists and criminals that attacked the United States Capitol and the Capital police?’ I mean really? That was such a hard hitting question I was giving myself a ‘standing’ 10 count for that ‘right’ hook! Sarcasm is such a wonderful tool.

A more biting question would’ve been. ‘Now that the Republican Party has dropped their ‘veneer’ of backing the blue, should police officers believe a word that comes out of your mouths ever again?’

That’s a hard hitting question!

I digress. We see the reasons why the ‘Legacy’ media do not ask tough questions. They don’t want to lose access to these elected officials. What? Yes, that’s why folks. The same dynamics govern the United States Justice System from sea to shining sea. Prosecutors don’t want to piss off the police and the police thus enjoy protection from accountability. Judges don’t want to convict police officers so they give deference to every police officer before they even hear the charges leveled against them.

So, let’s all drop the showmanship and cheap B-Movie lineups. They aren’t convincing the people anymore. That’s why you don’t hold complete sway anymore ‘Legacy’ media. You wanna get that back? Try actually doing the things for once in America that everybody can plainly see that you’re independent.

Ask questions without fear or favor. That would plug up a lot of ‘holes’ in that ‘firehose of faults’ of injustices from several of the timelines of American tyranny.

Then it would be honorable to ‘Reap that Harvest’!

Issue 16: What If Your First Teacher…Is A Liar?

Building your life over a structural foundation that has debris strewn about the ground. Debris (lies) that are an obvious stumbling block which the mental disease of ‘American’ (at least I believe ‘American’ should be a mental disease in the DSM V) tells you to step over it (look down all the time) instead of looking up, ahead and all around you. This distracts you from the more prudent choice of clearing your foundation of discarded construction material you no longer need. Metaphorically.

This quaint notion that Americans have come to believe as righteous dogma of ‘protecting’ someone you care about from ‘truth telling’. What may be difficult to hear is decided by me for the other person. Really? In other words, I believe the receiver of this news is weaker and less able to handle or process it in ways that would not lead to their destruction. Again, really? Obviously that thought process is arrogant. ‘The truth will set you free’ has been replaced by ‘the lie is better to continue the delusion’ of self-greatness.

My Father made a point of making my Mother tell us we were not hungry when we clearly were. He made our Mother commit an even greater ‘sin’. What ‘sin’ is that? The ‘sin’ of backing up a lie when you know it is a ‘LIE’! In other words, my Father was threatening beatings, and I will add he carried them out, to make us believe that we were feigning hunger to stress him, or call him out on his failure to properly feed his children. Children I might add that he didn’t feel no pain, sadness, or discomfort when he was shooting his sperm into my Mother’s pussy.

That is the lie that struck me as obviously a lie. It said to me that he was aware that he was failing to provide food, clothing and shelter for the lives he chose to create! Think about that a minute. My Father thought that he could beat, intimidate, deny care and transfer the blame for him not doing what he contracted to do when he chose to have children. When he chose to create more mouths to feed. Do you really think that I wouldn’t find out the truth about his shenanigans?

Now to the topic of this writing. My Father. My first teacher. Is a liar. What? Did he really think I wouldn’t discover that fact? Of course, we all know that when you start lying you have to maintain the lies, or otherwise your children would really turn against you.

Switch your thoughts over to ‘print, digital, audio, verbal and touch forms of communication’. What if your first impression of reading a source of information is misleading? What if you’re listening to elected officials give an account of situations directly in the realm of their authority? What if you verified that what they told you were lies?

Take something so simple as ‘who won the United States of America Presidential election in the year 2020’? What would you think of an answer like, ‘President Biden is the President of the United States’? To quote Captain Picard, ‘A lie of omission is still a lie’!

You have now branded yourself a liar. That’s pathetic. These ‘Republicans’ speak great swelling words of vanity, but they don’t know that the truth is spoken ‘completely’ when asked for an answer? Gosh, another person can make you ‘reduce’ yourself to standing beneath a floor of ‘truth’ that people expect you to stand upon? People in leadership must never dip below that floor should they?

Do you really believe your ‘name’ is not forever tarnished by such a capitulation? Tarnished by a willful act to never give the ‘truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God’? Because another person told you not to do so? Maybe you were never the ‘upright’ person everyone assumed you were?

That is now the honest truth for all of these folks beholden to Donald Trump. I used his name instead of his title because his title is not something he will be judged by when he stands before God. Know that, all you Sadducees and Pharisees.

I will confess one thing I capitulated to with my youngest son from the pressure of his mother. My son couldn’t tie his shoes properly and I was adamant that he should be told this until he did it correctly. His mother told me that was too harsh for him. I complied and it ate me up so much that I, after a few days stewing about it; I told her that I would not lie to our son again. If he cannot do something I will tell him he cannot perform a task properly. I will help him master it, but I will not lie to him again.

I knew I was wrong to lie to him because I knew what my Father did and also by making our Mother back his lies. All my loyal readers, users and seekers of excellent content know this about me. I will never torture myself again like that and I do not. Don’t ask me if you’re not looking for the truth as you can’t be associated with me if you can’t tell me the truth, period!

Not to repeat a tune, but children, teenagers, adults, employees (we need to come up with a better descriptive meaning of what goes on between labor and management) and management know when you’re lying to them. Lying tells people you are an untrustworthy unlit safe harbor in times of choppy seas on dark unforgiving nights.

When you lie the first time; you will never tell the truth, if you ever utter it, to be received by others at no point ever again.

So when Facebook, X, the ‘Legacy Media’ and other sources of information lie or let lying flourish; there is no going back to the truth.

Man, sometimes these rich corporations act like parents of untalented children of whatever sport they profess their child is greater and more talented than every child that has ever played the game.

What If Your First Teacher…Is a Liar?

MOTHER Se’MAY SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 3: Episode 3: Grasp for Light and get out of that Black Hole

Part Three: The ‘Hottest’ fire shapes the Soul and the Mind

Prologue:

(Does anyone on the team really know why a team acts as one? Are team members within your reach? Energy in motion tends to stay in motion, or something like that. What makes a military great in battle? Is it the number of troops? The men and women that stoke the weapons of war? The fear of the adversary when faced with such a refined and drilled force? Mother Sayer wondered about all these things long ago as she learned and trained under her father Mr. Sayer. Wow she thinks. What if Mr. Sayer chose his wife by other considerations? You know the answer to that she says to herself.

Oh, the great numbers of men and women that chose their mates on superficial features and assets that decline over time. My father chose a woman that had kids already. Yeah, a Black man marrying a Black woman that already has children. What is it in the Black community? Oh, that’s right. Don’t marry a woman with kids cause you’ll be paying for the pleasure some other Black dude had. Right. Mother rolls her eyes. My dad I believe chose to marry my mother not because she could please him in bed and cook in the kitchen. My dad married my mother so he could raise me.

Mr. Sayer saw the same presence because he recognized it in him all his life. He knew if he left me under the care of my mother alone I would not fulfill my gift. Mr. Sayer knew my mother wasn’t intellectually equal to him, but he knew something about sacrifice which I am glad he internalized.

Mother Sayer thinks this is why her training or learning, if that makes more sense, has directed her to seek out those like her and those that need more instruction on being a team player. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Psalm 55:14…We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

American, should be a mental disorder listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM 5. All this self-made person bullshit is old. All this selfish shit is tired. The Legacy Media has brainwashed the fuck out of creativity in America. I’m going to stick to the way success has always been done. Working together by looking out for each other.

That’s how you stay out of ‘Black Holes’.).

—————————The Walk of Game———————————–

Mother Sayer: (I can’t tell you how much my father taught me. Just the way you carry yourself. How you should treat others. Not worrying how they treat you back. A lot of things I learned. Now I’ve got to keep learning as I go giving those ‘trainings’ to others.). ‘The ruler of all the world’.

Sarah W. Certainty: What’s that Mother?

Mother Sayer: Just a line from ‘300’. The movie that glamorizes and stylizes the horrors of war. I could have that wrong. Don’t take my word for it. Now what’s on your mind?

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, it is that time again. Time for me to receive a cascade of answers that will surely leave me deciphering them until the next block of explanations my mind will need.

Mother Sayer: Go for Sayer. (Mother waves her cupped right hand in a downward arc toward Sarah to tell her to ‘lay it on me’.).

Sarah W. Certainty: Why do you hire all these broken people?

Mother Sayer: What? They’re not broken Sarah. Nobody is completely broken. Oakli, O’Woh, Tuaole, Hekima, Joppa, and so on. These are people that are navigating a course that is marked by disappearing street signs and unlined pathways.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good you gave me some names. I’m not trying to focus on the issues of every single person. I want the ‘why’ of what you’re trying to accomplish with this group of people.

Mother Sayer: Very good. I knew you would see through that trick. You’re not here for some juicy gossip like some heavy makeup wearing 80’s music video girl. I could easily be a slave driver just focused on production, but that fire would burn hot and then fizzle out quick. I need more than that.

Sarah W. Certainty: Are you saying this place is more than just a job opportunity? More than a place to put in 8 hours a day and get paid the end of the week?

Mother Sayer: That’s a recipe for high employee turnover wouldn’t you say?

Sarah W. Certainty: Something meaningful this way comes is that it? Being fulfilled by doing something that means something? Okay. I can go with that. Are you saying they can have a piece of what they create? That’s not the norm in corporate America.

Mother Sayer: That’s why so many people are drained dry. That explosive bountiful energy they start out with in life. I mean, you know this. I have watched you change from that reserved young woman to becoming my counsel in all matters of the ARC, Incorporated.

Sarah W. Certainty: True that my sister.

Mother Sayer: Stop that. Good though, but stop that. I have to test everyone within my reach. You understand? Even in a relationship before it gets serious; you have to ‘test’ the person on the qualities that matter to you right? I have to let them into my purpose for starting my company. What place I want it to represent in the world. Not just America. The world.

Sarah W. Certainty: You have to let them get close to you? Isn’t that risky?

Mother Sayer: Yes and no. The risk is they aren’t able to give you what you hired them to help you do. The no is that how can you know unless you open up your plans and secrets. Look Sarah, the companies that are innovating consistently are the ones that test what their new hires can do and then they give them a piece of the pie.

Sarah W. Certainty: How do you get them to focus. Focus beyond their own personal and private issues?

Mother Sayer: You have to read everything about them. How would you do that if you never interact with them? Do you know the ancient form of what we now call a ‘meeting’? Or actually how stuff was actually learned?

Sarah W. Certainty: No?

Mother Sayer: A ‘gathering’ was called when ‘change’ happened, was about to happen, or could happen. History books hold only the musings of those who had the power. All the stupidity of men who probably today would easily be hyped up by the ‘Legacy Media’ as strongmen geniuses. Gatherings were used to spread what has been learned.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. How a lot of people can all know about the same things. I think though has it not been perverted? The method of teaching?

Mother Sayer: Of course it has. Just like if you wanted to know how somebody feels you would ask that person. It is the responsibility of those that are taught to pass it on accurately.

Sarah W. Certainty: You are serious about your name. I see now. Making sure everybody knows your intentions that we work together is not lost in the retelling.

Mother Sayer: That’s right. I don’t know why this one guy I met in college still hangs in my head. What he says. Just. It was like he knew words have impact. Always put the right ones together. Mr. Victor said, ‘If you will be the strongest, then you got to take ‘incoming’ wisely without offense’.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, your people have to believe you got it covered? It can’t be a fake confidence can it? I also know what you mean about all the stupidity you see on television and read in the paper or wherever. Every clown, fool and thief out there is celebrated these days.

Mother Sayer: If I may say this with as much warning as I can. The wealthy and those that run the businesses in America are highly motivated to making money and that’s it. What happens to humans beings that get in the way of that is of no concern to them. I saw a version of it in the military. Rank didn’t always go to the best person. Rank was awarded by what’s in a file.

Sarah W. Certainty: How can you change the way things are? I mean sure you want to better mental health and increase safety in the airline industry. What else you’re working on? Oh, the mass warning system is a great idea. How is that your problem though? Isn’t some of those things the responsibility of the government?

Mother Sayer: Thank you. You finally said what I wanted you to say. No Sarah, I’m not trying to right all the wrongs in this gift of a world nor am I interested in conquest. A world given to all of us by a benevolent God. What you said there about what can you do is how they get you to give up. The wealthy and those conniving con men elected to public office. They want you to assume the mantle of God. Get over it. That position is already taken I believe and it never has an ‘opening’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Ahhh?

Mother Sayer: That’s why a ‘gathering’ was usually small. Even Jesus told the disciples to set the people down in small groups of fifty when he fed over 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. Well, you have to read the story in the Bible. Anyway, ‘the way’ has already been made plain. We have to turn to what makes sense and get back to doing it.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s why your dad married your mother. It wasn’t about what she could give to him, but what he knew he had to give to you. He sacrificed his vanity for your strength.

Mother Sayer: My my, pretty soon you’re going to know all my secrets. Setting a good example is part of being a leader, but that’s not what we’re told a leader should do. ‘Everybody is looking out for number one’. I can’t tell you the number of times I heard that crap. You have to start with ‘who’. If you reach out your arm and touch those in your immediate area, that’s who you should start with.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s why those few companies that succeed for decades invest time in their people. They’re not just costs against the bottom dollar of profits. They’re people with desires for their lives as much as those controlling their longevity at these companies.

Mother Sayer: Right. How do I know what they want out of life? I got to test them. There is no other way to do it. The U.S. Army did it to me. They’ve been successfully defending the country for over two hundred years. I started asking about why and how they knew to maintain that success.

Sarah W. Certainty: Do the successful things over and over again. That’s how you build confidence in your people. I mean the people being successful.

Mother Sayer: If I did any less for my people, or I failed to provide them an environment where they could test their abilities then I would fail myself. I don’t want my conscience slapping me around as I do ‘ADL’s’.

Sarah W. Certainty: ‘ADL’s’?

Mother Sayer: Sorry, that’s part of the terminology that encompasses the mental health disciplines. Also, let me make it clear. I speak to everybody I encounter as we are all on the same level. The level of human beings as equals. Everybody has something to contribute to life. Good or bad. It’s just that most of those possessing the tools of the ‘town crier’ elevates the worst acts that human beings can do to each other.

Sarah W. Certainty: The entertainment and media endeavors will hopefully change that. The ARC will be a beacon of contrast in an industry that hypes up all the ‘acts of evil’.

Mother Sayer: I remain grateful for my good fortune by enabling my people. My father would tan my butt if I wasted his sacrifice. Yes, I know. He loved my mother by giving her children strength and potential.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like my father did as well. He sorted through a lot of men. Some that couldn’t handle the punches they took fell by the wayside quick.

Mother Sayer: Wayside? I see your Catholic and raise you Baptist. My father made sure I knew where the thorns were because the ‘thorns’ can choke the shit out of you.

Sarah W. Certainty: It’s the exposure that counts the most isn’t it. Most people never reach their potential because those that favor them behave toward them on the mistaken belief that shielding them from danger assures their success. But they are wrong aren’t they Mother?

Mother Sayer: Yes, they are. Shielding people. Shielding the people you think have the greatest chance of success from danger and failure only hurts them. It doesn’t help them. It never did. I can recruit the best people ‘on paper’ until I’m blue in the face. I still have to test them.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s why you keep your time or presence at your team leads meetings, gatherings, short isn’t it? You want to show up. Get a status report and keep it moving.

Mother Sayer: Don’t get too Black Sarah if you can’t handle it.

Sarah W. Certainty: Hey, I’ve dated a Black boy before when I was younger. My father was cool about it as long as no babies were made.

Mother Sayer: Oh, okay. How long did you get to know the boy?

Sarah W. Certainty: It lasted a little over 6 months when I was 16.

Mother Sayer: Alright. I underestimated you. Again you made my point. I wouldn’t know anything about you if I didn’t ask you, or you voluntarily told me. That’s what it’s all about my nig. Oh, you’re not a nigga.

Sarah W. Certainty: Don’t tell me if I fucked a Black Guy I’m now a Black woman?

Mother Sayer: Nigga lover you ain’t no Black woman.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, you’re testing me now?

Mother Sayer: Yes I am. Just making sure you still had that hot Italian blood running through your veins. Or is it Sicilian blood?

Sarah W. Certainty: Same country or part of Italy that all. You are right. I surprised myself sometimes with my ‘fire’. I learned to accept it as part of my culture. I like it. Especially the first time I saw my mother fight with my father. Wow, you could feel the energy see the electricity building between them. I knew from that first time not to wear something that reacts to static electricity.

Mother Sayer: You read the room. You remembered the birthright your mother would never toss away. I’ll tell you about what Eve really did in the Garden of Eden some other time.

Sarah W. Certainty: You mean Eve gave the right answer?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. Eve let God know what happened. Eve wasn’t afraid of what God would do. She spoke her mind.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes I know. All the suppression and oppression of women has been done to keep them from the truth. Women know how to wield power because a woman spoke to the one great power that we know of.

Mother Sayer: Whew. (Mother pretends to wipe some sweat from her forehead). Very good Sarah. I shouldn’t be surprised. That’s what I’m talking about. That’s what I need around me. The truth! That’s what a woman brings with her to the table of power. We just got to recognize who has it and bring it under pressure. You know pressure forms the most valuable gems.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Lord.

Mother Sayer: Hush yo mouth. And it’s ‘Lawdd’ with an emphasis on the ‘D’s’. In any case humor was called for after my heavy statement.

Sarah W. Certainty: Do you have to know everything about people? I know you know this, but a lot of these people you’ve hired are ‘damaged goods’. How is it your business sticking your nose into their personal affairs?

Mother Sayer: Roger that. You are the daughter more like me than my own daughter. You are proving my point. It would be a dereliction of duty for me to not fulfill my obligation to give direct counsel to you to fulfill your purpose. You got that ‘why’ about you too. (With a wave of her hand she calls off Sarah) I’ll further explain what ‘why’ is to people like us later.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know when you are mentoring, coaching or whatever the term could be for what you’re doing for me. I will wait.

Mother Sayer: What you said about being ‘damaged’ is true. Look, we all have been given power to ‘damage’ each other, but listen to me now because this point is key. We have not been given the power to destroy someone. The power to ‘destroy’ ourself lies within each of us. To be clear, you can only ‘destroy’ yourself.

Sarah W. Certainty: But couldn’t someone be ‘hurt’ so bad that they do something drastic to themselves?

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah. (Mother said it with exasperation on her tongue.). Whatever ‘remnant’ remained laid over that person was found by that person to substantiate an excuse to ‘destroy’ themselves. There is always still a ‘choice’ remember that. That is part of what I’m trying to see if it is still there. The ‘choice’ to rebuild themselves.

Sarah W. Certainty: What if it’s not?

Mother Sayer: (Mother gives a wry smile as Sarah is hitting all the high points of compassionate leadership). It is not given to me to give up on people. They give up on themselves.

Sarah W. Certainty: I see. As long as the troubled bunch of people you brought in here.

Mother Sayer: The ‘troubled’ bunch of highly capable people. Say it right now.

Sarah W. Certainty: Right. As long as they do what you are expecting them to do you will show them love. Show them that not everybody is just looking to use them and when they get what they want out of them to caste them out.

Mother Sayer: That’s the story of corporate America and we’ve elected people at all levels of government to enshrine that philosophy into law.

Sarah W. Certainty: Right again. I hope to please you as much as I can.

Mother Sayer: Stop it! I never said I clapback nor have I shown or done anything retaliatory toward anybody. Do you really believe I am like that? Like all these other shallow fake ass clowns, bloated on their temporary authority, believing they hold the destiny of the people under them as fodder for amusement?

Sarah W. Certainty: Forgive me Mother. I did not mean it the way it sounded. Of course, I completely trust and respect you. I.

Mother Sayer: Stop. I know you don’t think of me like those fools. I was just seeing if you would react the right way. Your people will challenge you emotionally. Remember, you are a woman and emotions are a part of your DNA. Embrace that nurturing side along the complete spectrum meaning that it includes admonishment and encouragement with everything in between.

Sarah W. Certainty: I should have known. ‘Give it time’. Sorry. I heard that phrase in ‘good company’ when I was seeing that Black boyfriend back in the day.

Mother Sayer: Good. (Mother chuckles at Sarah’s use of slang terminology hoping she knows what those words and phrases actually means.). You are learning many things. Perhaps that’s a good place to stop today.

Sarah W. Certainty: Many more things I must know.

Mother Sayer: You’re not wrong Sarah, but I don’t need to know everything about somebody. Just what motivates them. Once I know that I can push them.

Sarah W. Certainty: Who pushes back?

Mother Sayer: Anybody can, but there are consequences to every decision you make. Is it selfish of me? Ask it a different way. You really think I’m into accelerating my vapor in front of a blowhard? I’m just gonna throw coal into a train engine I know couldn’t pull a single car let alone 30?

Sarah W. Certainty: No. Not a chance. So, we all have to accept your intrusion into our lives? Take it or leave it right?

Mother Sayer: That’s right Sarah. I don’t have time for stupid shit like wasting energy fixing an airplane that’s crashed into the side of a mountain. If you say you got the ‘goods’ then I expect you to come through. That’s it and no more. Trust me though. Once a person knows they can accomplish something bigger than themselves. Oh, you’ll see their ‘dim’ switch go out of whack.

Sarah W. Certainty: You can’t lie about what somebody did or didn’t do. What a person can do is done once they achieve it.

Mother Sayer: Show nuff. You haven’t told me which one or how many of our people you know have what it takes to ‘lay it down’ here?

Sarah W. Certainty: Oakli, O’Woh, Tuaole, Joppa to name a few right now. As a matter of fact I have a side hustle I may want your opinion on. I’ll tell you about it soon. Should we eat lunch and brainstorm some ideas?

Mother Sayer: Yes. That sounds like a good idea. Huh. Nothing stays the same for long round here.

Epilogue:

(Mother and Sarah do some soul searching and a lot of smiling and laughing. Like her daughter Mother says to herself. I love her, but love also has trials that must be held. Ableman Sayer knew that. I know that now Mother says to herself. My, how some training not only lays a foundation, but it makes it unmovable. No matter what crashes against it. That’s why you learn the so called ‘harsh’ lessons from those that supposed to love you so that the lessons aren’t distorted by the ones who seek to exploit you for their devious gains.

Man, why don’t more people just sacrifice their lustful desires more to benefit the lives of others and thus society as a whole? Mother contemplates this reality over and over again like she doesn’t already know the answer. That ‘seed’ will never die. The ‘seed’ is the character. The willingness to bear the wounds of evil to have the knowledge of them to notify the ones you love where they will come at you from.

Woman is meant to stand in the place of man when man will not confess his faults! The ‘woman’ must risk the wrath of God forever. This is the confrontation known to us from the Garden of Eden. Woman must be strong. Her children must be cared for. By her! This is true. Be who you were meant to be. Woman must know all to teach all! Woman must not shy away from the harshness of life. She must run to where the battle is the ‘hottest’ and prevail.

It can be no other way.).

Issue 15: The Fallacies in Certainties

Fate is a fallacy that is part of this issue of Mental Health Equal Health. No one can say for certain that anything predicted to happen will happen. My doctor’s appointment the other day felt like I was meeting with the funeral director. My affliction is prostate cancer. It is not my DISPOSITION! Along with other things that affect the optimal functioning of the flesh. Alas, this wisdom has been given to me in meditation over the last few days since the ‘heralding’ of my death.

Don’t get me wrong. I do take my medicine for the other afflictions I possess, but I still believe the spirit and the mind must determine the disposition of my body. I take what I am prescribed, but my faith in my spirituality and mind is greater healing to my body. Understand? That is the first fallacy that is the mind killer. That is believing you, your spirit and body, doesn’t have a say no matter who gives you unflattering diagnoses. My mind and my spirit both have a say! They tell me to shore up a weakening body!

There is nobody and I mean nobody, no human other than yourself, that can make funeral arrangements for a living soul. Period! That is the fallacy in certainties. Nobody can tell me I am destined for a life of diminishing abilities. How do they know? I know me. I know I have worked for nearly 6 decades strengthening my mind under the cruelty of poverty and a sadistic father. The long journey of education that leads to wisdom. In the schoolhouse and at the booth of experience. The toil of rigorous military service through 3 deployments to combat zones. I will never yield to the certainty of anybody. I don’t give a rats ass about their credentials, declaring my demise. Not even from myself! My friends have to make me get injuries on the job treated.

I didn’t need to say that. Everybody that knows me know I am locked into who I am. I don’t suffer foolishness from others, and I definitely don’t entertain it from myself, joking or otherwise.

There is more to this issue MHEH. I will finish it on my website. When I pay to have my website restored. Don’t worry. I’ve been pouring every spare nickel into it. I’ll turn a profit soon.

The website is back up people!

This is my philosophical leanings on the threat of ‘cancer’ to the human body and how to bring to bear a battle against it. 3 against 1. Look, the Mind(conscience and subconscious), the Brain(knowledge and creative nature of it), and Spirituality(The actual source of the body’s energy) all should be brought to bear against what ‘afflicts’ the body. Pile on! It’s not supposed to be a fair fight.

If the body is afflicted with whatever ails it cancer or ‘whatever’ bring to bear all three defenses at your disposal! Don’t succumb to what may ail you. Follow what medical professionals may detail, but also use the defenses you’ve been given to fight! My website,www.landcause.com, is back up as promised and I will always fight my affliction of prostate cancer with every ‘quick’ in my arsenal of weapons!

Jessica W. I am grateful to have you as a friend and your tenacity to ‘bring it’ is legendary to me. I haven’t forgotten all my friends. I’m just acknowledging the fact that I must support and strengthen all my comrades in ‘battle’. Fight on!

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 7: Between the Alpha and the Omega!

This is the thing about women that disappoints me. Women have long been suppressed. Not physically per se. The suppression has been targeted at their strongest power. First, let me qualify my coming remarks. The question is posed. Between the physical body and the mental(spirituality and sentience) will, which of these two powers we possess is exponentially greater?

Give me your answer. Okay. My point is this. Many strong, shrewd and extremely intelligent women fall for the attitude deceitful men have plotted as a matter of course to which women must behave. Women must be subordinate to men and never seek the leadership. Negative! No woman. I repeat, no woman should capitulate or relegate herself by turning down her brightness in the presence of ‘dim’ lights. No woman should let her flame slowly flicker out because a man fears her flame may burn too hot in every way that her ‘fire’ may consume him.

A woman, if she so chooses, should stand with ‘lights’, other women and men, that cause those that wish to approach the ‘brightness’ that they must shield their eyes for need of adjustment to their ‘spectrum’ of skills!

Those users and loyal readers of mine understand me all too well. If you cannot stand in the presence of great women and men of note, do not embarrass yourself with attempts to turn down their ‘flame’! Vice President Kamala Harris has that presence. I could see it and I could feel it even though I have never been in her presence. That confidence is clear for those of us that has the ability to see it. Let me say this too. I noticed she even ‘turned’ down the flaming ‘eye’ of her own furnace. I saw it. She did not need to. Let your flame burn women. If it is too hot then what’s the old saying?

‘If you can’t stand the heat you’d better stay out of the kitchen’. Ahh, you say?

To ‘All’. Do not despair. We are still between the ‘Alpha and the Omega’. Strengthen yourself again. Renew your spirits. Resist the urge to say ‘I told you so’ when the ‘evil’ comes to pass. Defend America with you mind. Yes, the answer is, Your ‘MENTAL’ self is the strongest part of your existence.

Women. Until the Omega. We ‘PRESS ON!’

Mission Statement:

The lure of joining the loudest voices as they are amplified by the ‘legacy media’ of ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal can and will offer many rewards, but the price is the stain of treachery that cannot be removed from your name.

Come, uncover all that has been hidden and be free.

Episode 4: Self Care

Listen to me now. I am extremely pleased with Vice President Kamala Harris and the campaign for President of the United States she conducted. She did it as I had foreseen with grace, honor, decency, courage and respect to the American people she serves currently as Vice President of the United States. Everybody, don’t listen to all the pundits second guesses. As I said, I am completely satisfied with the Vice President’s campaign. Looking at Vice President Harris I thought I was there at the dawn of time when the woman stood up in the face of awesome power and said, ‘I did it!’.

So, no one needs to feel down and out. Reenergize yourselves and prepare for the fight to preserve America. There are those that will be emboldened to attack and sabotage us dead on now to include the usual players being Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and other domestic groups and individuals with means and without means.

America holds no illusions for me. I don’t bask in the glow of the accomplishments of my ancestors as if I valiantly fought injustice in their time. I must do all I can to fight injustice in my time. This means I must write, voice and be present wherever to ensure that America endures. I saw something in my readings of American history that caught my attention. Even in the midst of slavery and sadism there were women and men willing to risk all to include their lives to serve this great experiment called America. I will be writing about some of them shortly.

Practice this for me my loyal users and readers. Do your self care with humility. Yes, I know. There are some things I will amplify in the future such as how things work together to cause economic growth and how it affects us. Don’t be cynical and let Donald Trump destroy us. Do what you can legally and morally if he sets on a path that is not good for America. Do it with grace and spiritually.

Finally, I want to thank all of my users and readers again. Americans, all of us still have power. We know the fight is not over. Do it legally and morally.

Have my peace and spiritually in abundance. Be well.

Issue 6: What Did I Tell You To Do!

That’s how it’s often said to a woman. With gusto and venom I might add. That is how some men talk to a woman isn’t it? ‘Whether the women like it or not, I’m going to protect them’, end quote. That was said by Donald J. Trump.

It sounds just like the subject line of this issue. Women I trust, completely understood it. How could a woman not? I mean the woman stood before the ‘First Father’ himself without trembling or shaking with fear, and answered him truthfully. ‘I was beguiled First Father by the Devil, and I ate the fruit of the Tree of Life like you told me not to’. End scripture.

That’s what I’m talking about! My friend, who still works in mental health, was holding back her true nature and strength in the practice. She finally displayed her full ferocity one day with a female patient that was wreaking havoc by disrupting the unit and behaving like a brat. The patient started up again right before we were to take everybody to dinner. My friend finally sternly told her to get up off the floor and behave.

I mean my coworker laid into her with an appropriate tongue lashing. I know I must explain ‘tongue lashing’. She of course used appropriate tone and delivery and it was perfect. My coworker raised her voice maybe two level above normal and made her behave. Awhile later when everything was calm I pulled her aside and told her, ‘that’s what I was waiting to see from you’.

Yes, my friend is a younger black woman, from Baltimore, Maryland no less. She ain’t from Birmingham. No one is perfect sadly, but that’s what I knew the patient needed. Look, I’m about going at a patient smartly and if it takes a female I gladly step back and let a woman take the rein. I have always sought to be in the ‘aura’ of strong women because I discovered their truth! You already read it from me ‘past and present’. Don’t act like you don’t know.

Just because a woman is married her authority in the grand scheme the ‘First Father’ created is not diminished. Nor is a woman’s power negated if she does not have a husband!

‘Do what I say’? Yeah right. If the ‘First Father’ was impressed with the woman when he asked for accountability and she was the only ‘one’ that gave it. I think I’ll go with my gut and let the ‘light’ I mean the ‘WOMAN’ shine!

‘I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine’.

Article 13: Plant the Seed

I need to plant corn, but if I plant corn it will disturb the ground. If I don’t disturb the ground, I will not have corn. What should I do then? My loyal users forgive my simplicity again, but I have to start out this way in these last days leading up to the general election for President of the United States, U.S. Senators, U.S. Congress members and various State and local officials.

I thank the Gods for giving me the scant resources for getting my message out on the internet. I thank the Gods more for opening my understanding enough to break it down correctly for my users. Listen to me again now. I beseech you with humbleness of heart.

Vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States of America. Vote for U.S. Democrat Senators and Congress members. I have made my case.

The woman in creation is not an afterthought. I have shown you that God himself marveled at her upright heart to shoulder all the blame for the offense in the Garden of Eden. The woman showed us that even in the presence of God there is upheaval. Mind you this upheaval came about by direct transgression of God’s law given from God’s mouth directly to Eve. Guess what? Eve directly admitted to it and took complete fault for her and Adam’s offense!

Forgive me my users. I beseech you now to withstand the upheaval we all should know will come until we are all called to account for our lives. Upheaval is a natural occurrence and growth cannot happen without it. When we are born our bodies are in perpetual upheaval until we achieve adulthood. Our minds are constantly bombarded until we embrace the onslaught of stimulus as ‘natural’. And our character is cruelly and ferociously tested until we are found worthy to be called ‘good’.

Donald Trump is testing many Americans right now. Frankly his belief that many Americans are as unmoored to all the values of community, compassion, decency, order, democracy and justice as he is. His life has been a doom loop of his opinions about who you are. Donald Trump believes no one is good just like all the so-called strong men the ‘Legacy Media’ has championed for decades throughout the known world.

I have planted and watered the seed. Over the past few weeks I have presented my case before all of you. I have laid out how to seek justice in your wages. I have tied economic expansion to a core platform of the Democratic Party. I have told all of you to use your common sense and reasoning. Embrace the processes of life as they basically stay the same. They just cycle every ten years or so. All of us have to be ready to get our economic and equity cut. Stop feeling sorry for the wealthy cutting you off some crust while they slice up the pie for themselves.

There is always upheaval. Stop letting the ‘Legacy Media’ play you like a silly clown. The ‘Legacy Media’ has made their beds and I wouldn’t trust them no more now than when they showed their true colors when they ‘darkened’ Orenthal James Simpson’s face. Show them they were wrong to do it then.

Show Donald Trump he is wrong about you now America.

Foreword:

Trickster: Edition Five: I Killed Jesus!

I bought a product without reading the label. It is just that simple. For decades I’ve lived my life from the conclusions of laymen ministers, preachers and charlatans cloaked in dark fancy robes. They told me this statement which I took as fact because so-called righteous men in costumed garb said it came from the Holy Bible.

This time the scripture needs to be written to verify the truth. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Acts 4:26-28…THE KINGS OF THE EARTH STOOD UP, AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AGAINST THE LORD, AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST. 27…For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, 28…For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

I don’t like falling for an erroneous report. Didn’t like my soldiers feeding me bias information in combat or in garrison. That is why my next few words will be brutal. That report from those ‘men’ I respected at the time I believed was accurate. These religious men preached to me that the only people, the Jews, killed God’s only son Jesus. I now know that that was a bold faced lie!

Sitting in those churches all those Sundays and days that weren’t Sundays; I believed that report. A report about the death of Jesus that I used to strengthen my soul and by extension my mind. Again, it was all a lie. Everyone. Every race, creed, class, Jew and Gentile participated in the killing of the child of God. I killed Jesus. We killed Jesus. Period!

Now, I love all of you my loyal readers. I’m sorry I have to keep bringing to you ‘corrections’ in the records of so-called sound doctrine. I have to do it. I must emphatically do it! My hope for you all is the same I have for me on this journey. Every bad report, false doctrine, deceptive practice, ignorant sermon from the mount, depraved policy authorized against desperate people, and every judicial ruling by foolish and unlearned men lacking discernment on the United States Supreme Court be overturned by bold and wise women.

Please don’t think I’m just coming down hard on men. Actually, that is exactly what I’m doing and I will never again say otherwise. Read Luke 22:34. There is no such thing as a second chance at boldness! Peter got three strikes and he whiffed all three times. Imagine that men? All you so-called world conquerors. I’m trying to be nice. Every chance a man got to give an accurate report in the presence of God, his son, or the Holy Ghost he blew it. Stronger my ass!

Everybody. This is for those just coming to my website. I never believed in the old saying that ‘old people were set in their ways’. What a bunch of crocodile shit! Crocodile shit? Well I say crocodile shit because they sit so low on the ground that when they shit they basically wallow in it.

I’m now old and I’m never going to sit and wallow in my own shit! Time, as long as you are still able to discern its’ passing, you are responsible to learn better and correct the record.

Yeah, this one was big for me. I killed Jesus too.

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 5: Opportunity Began Because of the Woman

There has been some doubt about the defining event in the Garden of Eden. Whether there truly was the threat of God’s anger upon Adam and Eve. Don’t worry, I get it. Show me proof right. Let me say this before I prove it. God has mellowed out. In his wisdom it probably took just a day while to us humans it took thousands of years.

Anyway, when Uzzah touched the ARK in 2 Samuel 6, God struck him down without hesitation. Read it for yourself. I will not lay the words out for you anymore. Now do you understand how incredibly significant it is to take full blame, responsibility, fault, consequence, failure? Do you! I mean, and I don’t mean to laugh here, but it is frighteningly amusing would you say? Again, not going into the few displays of his power that are written. God didn’t play with nobody back in the day!

You did something wrong. You got dealt with. Fortunately for us now we are given time to reconsider our acts. Our thoughts. If Eve did not have the gumption, backbone, the ‘nerve’ to take full blame for the ‘infraction’ (if I’m allowed to call it that), none of us would be here. A woman doesn’t have the authority to lead? You do know that reading the Holy Bible the way it is written. Just saying? That the Holy Bible is written as a warning to the male spirit. You do know that right? It reads like a mental health guide to propping up the male’s confidence.

I remember growing up hearing that girls mature faster than boys. I wondered about that and disputed some of it, but as I’ve aged. I know I know. The evidence backing up that ‘old saying’ is real! Of course not. Every woman will not choose to seek the leadership and that’s fine. Just like every man will not choose to seek the leadership and that’s fine.

The lies about who is mentally stronger ends now! The woman was the first to admit fault and accept whatever punishment was coming. Think about that a minute. Both of them, Adam and Eve, were given dominion over all the world. When it came down to giving an account of your acts. Who stood fast? Ahhh, you don’t get it. My goodness. Help me out here.

You’re still holding on to the fact that the history that has been recorded has purposefully been written to clean up the first mistake of extraordinary existence! “I did it, don’t look at Adam First Father. I, Eve, I disobeyed your authority. Deliver your anger to me and to me alone”. The woman by doing this protected the man, Adam. Meaning what? I tell you what. Why don’t you answer that one yourself.

Get the ‘FUCK’ out of here with all this fake male toughness! True strength, which feeds your abilities, starts ‘upstairs’. That’s what we say in the Black Community. Check yo-self means do a reality check from the neck up. Opportunity starts upstairs. Why do you think God put your ‘Brain’ at the top of his creation fool? No dumbass, your feet don’t take you in the right direction by themselves. Oh, why do I even bother?

My loyal readers and users, please educate as many others as you can. Listen to me now because I’m going to help you understand what Vice President Kamala Harris means when she speaks to you about ‘OPPORTUNITY’.

This shit about ‘pocketbook’ or ‘kitchen table’ issues are secondary to your opportunity. Your opportunities start with your ‘paycheck’ morons! Yeah, I’m saying it like that. If you don’t like it please keep listening to the people keeping you poor. Hint, it is not the Democrats. Democrats have always driven economic growth. Economic expansion comes with fluctuations in the pricing of goods and services.

Now the piece of the equation you have been missing is when economic expansion happens; get yo cut niggas, white privilege rednecks, you Israelites, Hispanic crop pickers, and those that feel sorry for the wealthy. Get your part of the opportunities! That is why when economic expansion happens the rich get wealthier because all of the workers I have mentioned always fall for the ‘rope-a-dope’. The ‘okey-dokey’.

Every little trick in the book invented to distract you from paying attention when opportunity rolling down them train track. The horn loud enough to raise the dead. How about you stop feeling sorry for the ‘rich’ in America and get yo cut when the ‘party’ starts ‘jumpin jumpin’. No? Okay then, let the 80-90% of every economic expansion keep going to the wealthy, and the Republicans laugh at you while they keep the status quo.

Oh no? Vote your ‘paycheck’ first then. Vote Democrat if you want to keep this economic expansion going. It started with the woman, Eve, in time. Don’t believe that shit? You better believe it now!

Sneak Peek: Issue 6: The Hidden Depravity in U.S. Supreme Court Decisions

The ‘Legacy Media’ of ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, The New York Times, Washington Post and so on would not explain the ‘green light’ that the U.S. Supreme Court gives to those that wish to inflict their personal sense of depravity and sadism on their fellow neighbors. You’ve seen it with the ‘ABORTION’ decision, but you’re not understanding the true scope of ‘immunity’ for Donald Trump.

Think of the rein of ‘Caligula, Timur, Hitler’, to name a few. These men must have had other men to help ‘inflict’ their madness upon others. Stay tuned.

Issue 4: There Went Out a Decree

I must commune with you, my loyal readers and friends of this website. My delay is not intentional in this matter as with all other writings I must bring this one to you as I am ordered. There must be women and men amongst us that will not wither from the torment of unrighteous demands against the people.

“When all others fail in the presence of the law. The United States Supreme Court must further extend the reach of justice”.

How have the U.S. Supreme Court justices failed you say? Let me give a couple of examples each of the recent history of the cruelty of man. Also examples in recent history of the extraordinary compassion of man. Only because evil men have been given blanket power to commit such acts by more unjust men.

The atrocities of the Bosnian War. The atrocities of the Darfur region of western Sudan. Read your history as I will not count the number of dead here. The compassion and righteousness of humanity shown through in the Kindertransport in Germany circa 1938. Along with U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt Refugee Committee later taken over by the International Refugee Organization of the United Nations.

These examples show the depravity of man and the ‘acts’ of good men and women in response. History is sealed. History is also being written now. Before I continue I must express my profound disappointment in U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Amy Comey Barrett. All of you know my writing. A woman saved us all in the court of God himself! How could a woman then turn around and give a man unaccountable power to wield cruelty against the people to the ends of the Earth?

Read Luke 2:1 to understand me better. King Herod and Caesar Augustus would be drooling with anticipation if they had such reach. They would be jealous of the sadistic reach of perverted authority today. Imagine if Adolf Hitler was told his acts as German Chancellor were all official acts? Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic? Pol Pot in Cambodia? The My Lai Massacre by U.S. Soldiers in Vietnam?

Imagine in all those instances you had a U.S. Supreme Court type branch of justice tell all of them that the law ‘fails’ in your presence. The ‘law’ is beneath you. The ‘law’ is optional and you will be excluded from its’ reach. That’s why I’m disappointed in Justice Barrett. Those men on the Supreme Court could never surprise me. I know what they are. They are as weak as our ‘forerunner’ Adam in giving the Almighty a confession of what he did and did alone! Still, we as men cannot abide in truth. I exasperated.

A woman did. A woman did. Eve. Why do you think Mother Mary was able to withstand and contain the unimaginable and infinite power of the trinity within her? Her ‘forerunner’ confessed her actions to the First Father in his court! Even knowing the First Father was about to wipe the floor with both of them. That’s the character that the Almighty was longing for.

Oh, let me stop. I’ll continue this post another time. A woman don’t suppose to wither. Women in power must not embarrass their ‘forerunner’. Let the woman in power heed her decree and come before God with her ‘authority of character’ intact as she has done throughout time!

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 3: The First Sacrifice!

It was done by the woman Eve. Okay, I believe I’ve lost about 99% of you already. Let me soothe the transition of knowledge by adding some scenery and mood. God walked through his creation in the cool early evening of the eighth day. The First Father and his son the Lord Jesus were pleased by all the new life enjoying their new environment. As God pondered, night began to fall. ‘Where are the two I have made to have dominion over my property?’

Adam and Eve were hiding themselves because they perceived they were naked. As God inquired with them how they obtained this knowledge they both confessed. Of course, Adam blamed the woman while Eve took responsibility for how it happened.

Okay, we’re now at the point of the offense, but not much about who stood fast in taking fault. Reading between the lines, I have decided to add the dialogue to the text of the Holy Bible of what I believe was spoken by Adam and Eve.

Eve was addressed second by God. Eve admitted guilt. Eve did not offer excuses for her actions. Remember Genesis 3:3 when God said ‘do not eat lest ye die’. And Genesis 3:22 when God said to his son Jesus, with the Holy Ghost present, that ‘we must expel Adam lest he take first hand for himself of the tree of life and live forever as well’. So, if I may say, immortality is obtained then by firsthand knowledge right?

Stop for a moment and take what you just read in. Meditation is simply in its’ ancient form is ‘to allow a morsel of knowledge to be consumed by the mind for nourishment that leads to clarity and understanding’.

If the man, Adam, was solely in charge, why then did God also inquire of Eve? They both, Adam and Eve, were caretakers of God’s creation which means they both were equally responsible for the act that was forbidden. No matter who committed the act. Do you understand me? Right, you’re beginning to understand the source of command mandates and the principles by which fealty is demanded.

So, Eve was immortal at that time right? Eve knew this. Eve in her determination to make it right did not waver in her declarative statement accepting full blame.

Imagine for a moment that you are about to be put to death. Would you stick to your story? Eve stood fast. Eve did not run or hide. Now I say this again if I have not already said it enough. Eve sacrificed herself. God saw that Eve was not afraid of his awesome power crackling and looming over her. This should have shaken Eve to her core and frankly it must have. Eve stood up anyway and accepted whatever fate God declared as her punishment.

This is the sacrifice that taught the world what sacrifice really meant! I heard a saying long ago from married men that I never understood, and frankly none of the men that said it ever did either. They called their wives their ‘better half’. Goodness, if they only knew huh?

Anyway, this last paragraph will conclude this revelation. If the ‘man’ Adam had said the right ‘answer’ there were no need for God to ask Eve the same question would he? The second ‘man’ Jesus Christ would not have been needed either. God had a vision for his creation too you know. When your plans are ‘Elff-up’ you would try again to make it right yourself would you not? So, all you religious men out there, you ‘world conquerors’, who believe women are not actually more called upon than you are. Men saying stupid shit like, ‘women don’t have the fortitude to face or wield unbelievable and infinite power’. Or, ‘women can’t be in charge’? I’m gonna say it. You stupid fools! Men wouldn’t be here if a woman hadn’t stood fast in the ‘breach’ of trust by not pawning off the blame for her actions.

Check yo-self before you wreck yo-self!

ISSUE 25: The Republican Inflation Con

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

This is another joyful edition of Give Me That Ole Time Religion because it is a companion piece to ‘Ronald Reagan’s Inflation Ruse’ in Political Theater. How is it a Republican Inflation Con? Follow me and I will tell you.

Everybody do this right now. Every dollar, every dime, nickel and penny you’re earning over the Federal minimum wage of $7.25 give it back to your employer right now! Yeah, all you knuckleheads still pretending you don’t know any better about wages being the flip side of inflation. Yes, you all. I’m talking to you about the indoctrination. The indoctrination that has extended so deep into your psyche like the tenacles of a jellyfish. It has been stinging you for so long you’ve gotten immune to the pain.

When prices rise so should your paycheck! That’s the Republican Inflation Con that has numbed your senses to this obvious economic fact. Don’t look to the ‘Legacy Media’ to explain to you the obvious correlation. CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX and the like all seemingly get a large dose of mischievous pleasure out of your lack of knowledge about these basic kitchen table principles. Yeah, pocket book issues kind a, should a, would a, started at your actual paycheck right?

Don’t forget to pronounce ‘pocket book’ in a fake country boy Eddie southern twang slang like Governor Kemp of Georgia. Georgia, I might add has a state minimum wage below $7.25 hour. Wyoming too. Oh, but it is important in Georgia to sign a bill restricting the right to vote under an oil painting of a plantation. Oh, if we could only relive those wonderful days on the plantation when everybody knew their place.

This is still my admonition to the Democratic Party as a whole. I wouldn’t care about a political poll. I wouldn’t care about somebody telling me I’m pretty. I wouldn’t care about somebody telling me I have big muscles. A ‘race’ is won by running the designated course! That means all the way through to the finish line. And beyond! Break the tape. You have to break the tape!

Don’t let all the ‘scenery’(polls) that lines the course distract you. That’s all it is. If you want to go back and visit some of the places you’ve passed as you’re running. Do it after you win the race. Not before!

Keep working. Stay disciplined. Reject all the foolishness that has filled the air. Yeah, that’s not industrial smoke you’re smelling. It’s the aroma of bullshit. Do you not understand that the Chips and Science Act alone has ensured America’s survival. Do you not understand that?

Sun Tzu said, and I’m paraphrasing, ‘You attack your enemy where he is not ready, appear where they don’t believe you will be; thus these tactics cannot be revealed beforehand until after you defeat your enemy’.

I don’t like revealing vulnerabilities, but American commerce is sometimes the enemy of her longevity. We cannot make those mistakes again. President Joe Biden knew this. Yeah, try getting sophisticated microprocessors across the vast pacific ocean in a time of war. See how that works out. I don’t think it would be fast enough to maintain America’s strength.

The disciplined commander-in-chief that listens to the generals wins all the time! Vice President Kamala Harris is the President of the United States that we need.

America don’t be conned again. Vice President Kamala Harris you keep your eyes on the course. Break the tape completely through and across the finish line.

That’s how you silence the noise and the con.

ISSUE 24: Thine Own Self Be True!

What did you say? Did the Pope just say America will choose between ‘the lesser of two evils?’. Really? This from a man that didn’t just become Pope, but he was part of the ‘Catholic Church’ that kept secret the sexual exploitation of little boys and little girls for decades. That’s rich coming from him. I tell you this Pope. Why don’t you correct the problems in your own organization and stop mirroring Donald Trump’s vision of ‘good people on both sides of evil’. Whatever the hell that means.

Vice President Kamala Harris is not evil. Human rights are not up for review by man. Human rights are given by a just creator. Now let me just say something about ‘man’ to just completely blow your minds. I’ve been wondering what would be the best time to say this, but with the ignorant and shortsighted comments from the Pope insulting Vice President Kamala Harris; I now know the time to reveal these findings are immediate.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. 1^st Timothy 2^nd Chapter verse 14 and 15 must both be read for context to follow me. Now, the scripture said ‘she’ shall be saved in childbearing. Saved from what exactly? In order to be saved there must first be a ‘matter of offense’ right? The ‘trap’, no offense to God, but that is what God did. Who would obey God and not cross the spiritual barrier in defiance of his order? Do not partake of ‘the tree of life’.

Now as in all things pertaining to spirituality; there must be consequences for such actions. No, to the small minded people not familiar with my website and probing posts. The spirituality I speak of is not contained in our fleshly minds and weak bodies. I mean a spirituality that answers with the truth when your creator asks it of you. Like Eve did when asked about her ‘nakedness’.

Now, understand something. This is the ‘beginning’ when God first formed everything including settling the universe. Now for the sake of time I will make my points clearly. God needed to know if he could trust what he created. God came to the conclusion that he could through the second person he created. By her admission, Eve saved us all!

How? Eve saved the last version of the humanity God created! How do I know this? The scripture speaks of times when a version of humanity did inhabit the world. Of course, I will reveal these findings to you as I receive them if it is the will of God. Look at the words ‘she shall be saved in childbearing’ to form a picture of a ‘judgment’ that occurred right then and there!

Eve gave her life to Adam! Eve took full responsibility for the transgression in the Garden of Eden you stupid ass men! Look at other scripture that says ‘no greater sacrifice that exists’. When you give your life for someone else, it is spirituality in the highest. It is ‘Hosanna’! Do I have to give you the ancient meaning of the word? Of course I do. ‘Hosanna’ means, please save me.

Do your research. Okay, one more point of clarification to soothe your conscience. Remember when this word, ‘Hosanna’, was heralded before Jesus everywhere he went? Jesus sacrificed himself for us all right? Look at that. The ‘son’ of God, Jesus, had to correct the ‘man’ Adam of all his stupidity! World conquerors indeed.

Eve gave her life to Adam which left her with nothing to offer to God to preserve her life. So God, being God, marveled at Eve. God knew the woman would bear the children. God spared her punishment because she told him the truth. Again, God did not punish Eve for her offense in the Garden of Eden. Are you so stupid to not see this you ‘religious men?’ Yeah, of course, you are stupid and blind. I don’t know why I keep thinking differently? Please stop pounding your chest now about some greatness you never possessed men! Men? Oh, how great thou art?

Now you really know what ‘commutation’ means do you not? I’m not going to provide the ancient meaning here because by now you should know it. Huh, a woman is an afterthought? None of us would be here if it weren’t for the ‘woman’ period! I damn show don’t mean by childbirth! So, how about taking the veil off your ‘created version of your established religion’ and seek out the truth from women and men of spiritual calling. Then you may actually live my last line of admonition.

Thine own self be true.

Issue 34: Temporary Slavery? Or Slavery On Demand?

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Either way, this is America when it comes to the power that the ‘POLICE’ think they possess over every human being they come in contact with. Sit on the ground? What are we dogs or animals to the police? Did the United States Supreme Court give the ‘police’ in America that power as well? I try my best to keep up with the ‘god power’ the U.S. Supreme Court possesses, but it is hard even for me.

Tyreek Hill should have been given a ticket like he said and been able to go about his way. What you saw from the ‘police’ there was the ‘power’ spelled out to them or implied by the law they do not have to obey, or by the judicial system of which they are in cahoots with. What is it called then ‘police’ union or fraternal order of police? There needs to be laws that specifically prohibit the ‘police’ from using the law against citizens when it is the ‘police’ that have broken the law in their disgusting and inhuman treatment of the citizens they say they serve!

This is the situation you get when you legalize the ‘police’ to lie on demand as soon as they step out or off of their vehicles. Whatever happened to ‘Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor’? Any Bible thumping so-called Christian remember that while your sorry asses are backing the ‘police’ no matter the crimes they commit right in front of our eyes?

Oh right, it is the public where the blame should lie when it comes to the ‘powers’ the public has given to the ‘police’ to ‘police’ all us criminals I mean citizens. Finally, all be it too late, the Miami Dolphins organization has spoken out on what should’ve been obvious for hundreds of years.

When did the United States Supreme Court give the ‘police’ ownership of every citizen in America? Can somebody answer me that question? That is really what you’re saying. Some shit-kicking wannabe tough guy or gal wearing a tin-foil badge has the right to tell me what to do no matter what? Then, this is the kicker. The judicial system says, that’s right!

Yeah, it’s all us citizens that have the problem. Just do whatever some asshole clown tells you to do because the judicial system will ‘back the blue’ no matter what. The United States Supreme Court has given the ‘police’ God Power and we cannot do anything about it.

Maybe you can get some of that ‘God Power’ too ordinary citizen. Just fly these United States Supreme Court Justices around the world to their hoe-down parties. Just wine and dine these United States Supreme Court Justices. They will grant to you your cruelest desire upon the rest of us dogs and animals.

The only way to have these United States Supreme Court Justices exclude you from their depravity is to give them gifts. I mean, King Herod would probably be shamefaced to have these United States Supreme Court Justices ask of him the head of anyone they choose in a charger.

Slaves indeed!

Article 12: President Reagan’s Inflation Ruse

For all who do not know what a ‘ruse’ is here is my definition. A ruse is: ‘a concerted effort to generate uncertainty about one or many things by not explaining, or explaining the subject matter in negative terms in order to conceal the true goal of a chosen outcome that benefits the alternative plans of one person, group or entity. Arousing discontent in the population with something if understood would not be seen as a real problem’.

Facts: President Carter took office after a recession. President Carter took control of an economy after the 1972 to 1974 rise of prices(inflation). President Carter took over after President Nixon wage price controls. President Carter deregulated the trucking and airline industries. President Carter deregulated domestic petroleum prices.

Now here’s the Reagan ruse. Ronald Reagan knew the price of goods and services directly correlates to wage growth. Ronald Reagan knew the news media of the time would not correctly report it truthfully. So who was to stop Ronald Reagan from saying are you better off today than you were four years ago? With that kind of so-called news reporting by leaving out important details or just not reporting the whole story by ABC, CBS, and NBC. How could President Carter counter that echo chamber?

Contrast that scenario with the economic climate of today circa 2024. There are a heck of a lot more ways to get your news, so the legacy media doesn’t have control of the narrative anymore to selectively report on what is actually happening in the economy. Just like those workers on strike from the hotel industry. They know the correlation to price increase and wage growth. That’s right! Workers now know if you’re going to raise prices I need my cut!

Just like I believed the interpretation by so-called men of faith for decades about what actually happened in the garden of Eden. It was simply a ruse by men to portray themselves as stronger in character when God asked his question separately to that ‘man’ Adam and to Eve. The truth is always there! We just have to have a truth teller say it.

Oh, by the way President Reagan had a recession in 1982. Unemployment was at 11% at one time before it came down. President Reagan did sign a tax increase in 1982. Yeah, your false God had his issues even though you Republicans want to make his presidency out to be as essential for our health as oxygen. It was not.

Remember, righteous people want the truth from people who claim goodness. I did not say perfection. Righteous people want the truth from good people.

Out of the two people running for President of the United States now. The good person is Vice President Kamala Harris.

Be well in truth.

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 2: The Tree Feeds Many Branches (Purposes)

Right off the porch let me get straight to it. The Garden of Eden was and always has been a ‘Test of Character’ period! Let me explain. First I will acknowledge the exuberance of accomplishment. It feeds upon itself doesn’t it? I mean one success in life injects a confidence in you that somehow many more desires of tangible achievements are possible, but it all starts with trusting in something.

Now imagine if you can a supreme being creating something of value. Following logically this supreme being wants to place a caretaker over it. It is then this supreme being realizes that one person cannot do it alone, so in his wisdom he creates a second being in order to make it a certainty that it can be done. Only together can this great creation of a supreme being be properly entrusted.

This has always been true. Read it for yourself in the Holy Bible. Or not? Now to the topic up for discussion. Again, read your Bible and you may or may not interpret the scripture correctly. Here are the facts. Two answers were given to the same question posed by God. ‘Who told you that you were naked?

The man, Adam, answered that, ‘the woman gave me to eat and I ate it’. The woman, Eve, answered that, ‘I was beguiled by Satan and I ate’.

!!!Stop reading here because I will insult every man beneath this point with derogatory terms.!!!

I left those two answers alone so you can see why on the major points in the Holy Bible why he chose the woman to work through his ‘will’. Jesus first appeared to which gender? Answer: A woman. Jesus told who to go tell them niggas, them Israelites, them crackers, them lost cause inbred Som-bitches, them Russians, them China men, them WORLD CONQUERORS (Throw the peace sign up in the air on both hands in mockery when you say world conquerors)? You guessed it? He told a ‘woman’ to go tell all them fantastic men that Jesus was back.

It was always a test of character. That’s why some leaders call upon the same names over and over again. Because they righteously believe that they will accomplishment their purpose in their name! It was not that God punished Eve. That is ludicrous! God needed his creation to be cared for and God chose the woman as his instrument of creation. Yes, I believe what the Jewish people believe. Once a baby parts the ‘matrix’ (means fully separated from the woman) is when God gives the baby a soul.

Do not concern yourself with understanding the ‘matrix’. It is beyond your comprehension. Let’s move on. Watch the video as the words are spoken as commanded. Woman, know thyself. It is unworthy of you to have surrendered all your power to men. I know. I will not take the bait here and speak of all the greatness I have seen from women for almost 60 years of life.

Women. It is your job to take command. Do not seek permission from men to do this. Your supreme being, the same one that created men, created women. What are you waiting for?

WOMAN IS LIFE

STATEMENT OF FACT:

Woman, it is nigh time to close the distance and occupy the same space at the same moment with the exact same authority. For it was ever written. There is no life…without the woman!

Issue 1: The Tree of Life

What ‘fruit’? All that a vast universe has was corralled and forever confined to a metaphorical ‘tree’ of life. If it is alive, how does it stay alive? It must have some way of feeding itself right? It must, as a ‘tree’, be capable of rebirth right? If so, then what in the ground of the Earth did it draw upon to sustain the fruit that graced the branches thereof? Maybe it was not a ‘tree’ at all to what we understand as a tree.

So then, if it was not a ‘tree’ that is sustained from the ground; it must have been a ‘tree’ of energy. What we know of energy is that it doesn’t disappear or burns out. What we know of energy is that it decays until it exhaust the neurons and electrons within right? Okay, maybe that is not the technical way it happens, but you get the point. This ‘tree’ then must have energy that sustains itself from a different source.

What if it sustains itself from us? What if this ‘tree’ sustains itself by what fruit we pick from its’ branches? So, if we pick ‘love’, then love will be sustained. If we pick ‘hatred’, then hatred will be sustained. By ‘love’ or ‘hatred’, the tree will be sustained. Yes, hatred is given as much life as love is given. Duh? You know what the crazy thing is about this ‘tree’? It was formed as a central repository of sorts to keep these powerful motivators from running wild across the vastness of the universe. Isn’t that something? This ‘tree’ has it all! Don’t think about it if you cannot. I don’t want someone who is not a loyal user of my website to be confounded by this.

Watch and listen to the video. It is a short one. Pay close attention to how the ‘woman’ handled the question of what she did when God asked her the question. I go further in depth on the next issue.

Enjoy.

There were certain things I learned growing up in poverty that have become legendary for me. Why is that you ask? Because I have transformed what my Dad failed to do into much of the wisdom I’ve passed along to my children. Like knowing how to abound and abase myself (careful, it means to make fun of and not think about yourself too highly) while suffering hunger and being blessed with abundance. I’ve softened my disdain for many of his decisions that led his family to remain in poverty far longer than necessary. Inevitability, it was his family to conduct as he saw fit.

That said, all the aches and pains of hunger I felt to include the mental anguish. Whether I deserved to be fed as much as his plumb belly and body looked. It sparked my intense displeasure of him as I observed his disregard for us wanting to be equally fed as well. So, as a Black man, I know the difference between a meal of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to a hot meal of fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes and soda pop.

I still remember the sound of water running from the kitchen sink into a large pot as my mom prepared to cook collard greens for two hours on the gas stove. The potatoes wrapped in foil she put in the oven also for a couple of hours. Oh, the sizzle of the oil in the skillet as she laid in freshly seasoned chicken with a smell that drew the God’s attention away from their holy tasks. I know something about affording to eat a hot decent meal or a cold bologna sandwich for supper.

Listen to me clearly now America. Do you know what was sacrificed to get yo asses to crying about how high food prices are now? It was union people. By union people I mean folks that did without a hot meal for supper. May I say. They did without hot meals for supper for a long time in order to fight the evil of ‘oppression’ in wages. Check yo Bible you Bible thumping ‘EVANDEVICALS’!

I’m not mad. Why not? Because I get what my job is. That’s why I was created to master the science of mental health and bring order and respect to the field. Listen! ‘There are no OFF LIMITS topics in mental health, period! Otherwise, what is the point? Americans have always acted foolishly where wages and sacrificing must rule. What else could explain it?

I mean Democrats have pushed for higher wages as far as I can remember. I am approaching 60 years old and I know this. Americans, you’re crying about how high grocery prices are? I made $3.35 and hour for a 40 hour work week. As a single young man in the late 80’s and early 90’s that amounted to $120 dollars a week after taxes. Now what do young people make? $17 to $22 dollars an hour starting out? That’s between $500 to 700 a week after taxes. Really?

Tell me of one Republican that would say it to ‘yo face’ he wants your wages to stay higher than the rate of inflation? I mean the Federal minimum wage in America is $7.25 hour! For God’s sake are you kidding me? I have said many times on my website, www.landcause.com, that in order for these wages to be locked in and able to rise continually; inflation has to hover between 3% and 3.5% on a yearly basis.

How in the Hell you think you get those current basic hourly wages Americans? You believe what the Republicans tell you? Republicans who, if they ever voted to increase wages did so begrudgingly. Remember that child, me, that sat on the living room floor watching cartoons, waiting for my Dad to get home so we all can eat dinner. The sound of a growling stomach suffering the same ‘groundhog’ moment daily for nearly two decades.

I have said this before to the Democrats. I will forcefully say it again. Don’t feel any guilt or remorse for driving economic growth. Let the clowns that believe the Republican fairy tales and all their horseshit vote for them. Keep that train barreling down the tracks ready to make the next steep climb. And the next. And the next. I’ve learned to push every idea I get forward to the right people for the reasons I’ve written about above.

For that little boy sitting on the living room floor with his eyes glued to the television after finishing his homework. That little boy waiting on better days. That little boy that hoped people like the Democrats remembered him. Remembered him enough to block out the noise. Block out the pats on the back. Block out all the fake praise and glory. Hoping there was one Democrat that knew if he or she had just one idea that would better some child’s life.

That one Democrat would then absorb all the punishments and threats of losing an election. Just get it across the line into law. So one more child could eat more than a bologna sandwich for supper.

THE ENGINE AND THE CONDUCTOR

I am excited to bring another wonderful story for all my users to enjoy. The engine and the conductor. Don’t worry I will continue to write engrossing episodes of Mother S. Sayer: The ARC of Time & The Soul of Black Land. In the meantime. Enjoy the first of many exciting and thoughtful looks into life coming to you in The Engine and the Conductor: vemoseley@landcause.com

THE ENGINE and the CONDUCTOR

PURPOSE: Life is forcefully awakened in distress. Only then is life clearly explained and gainfully engaged. An engine is idle when it is not moving. By this meaning, an engine is ready to be put in gear when it is asked to power a structure to a desired destination. The one that controls the stress upon an engine is the one making demands of it. Who can make these separate components work together in unison?

The engine and the conductor must respect the cause that each one provides. To cause something to do something of purpose is to be mindful of its’ specifications. The engine that powers a human being is multifaceted. Many systems of the body that are no less or more important one to the other. The brain must believe in the feet as the eye leads and watches for the obstacles in the direction these parts tell it.

The conductor must be aware of all the systems of the body as it needs them all to make it to a desired destination. This story will explore enough of what is needed before the journey begins, and what it must acquire along the way in order to be ready to disembark when the carriage reaches an endpoint. Come along as the engine with the conductor discover paths that may lead to destruction or triumph.

Episode 1: Onboarding and Departure

Prologue:

(Nottbea says under her breath, ‘My hands are dry again. The weather must be changing.’ Oh what it must mean to have vanity nibbling away at the locks of hair on your head. My my my, am I acting like my mother and my grandmother shew shewing away their troubles. The third generation of ‘Denayers’ ready to strike out into the world where men have established themselves as the dominant gender. ‘Say it right Nott’a’, where White men have rooted and established themselves as the wisest and strongest of all. Huh?

It is a good thing I learned from two tenacious Black women how to handle myself in any situation that presents before me. Even if something is unfamiliar to me; I have the catch all ability for those contingencies on hand as well. It is called my common sense. This ride will be fun. I look forward to the acquisition of knowledge. The integration of those lived experiences to propel my interactions and understanding beyond the two strongest women I will ever know in my life.

‘Wahliastil’, (means the wall will never come down), my grandmother, and ‘Shilifmor’, (means my limits are far beyond), are responsible for me, ‘Nottbea’, (Nott’a means not a chance to falter), and all that will come before me will never defeat me. I know where I come from because I have their blood rising and falling in my veins like water dropping from a raging river off a mountain crashing to a valley below. Like all that lives, I will keep this truth close to my heart. Whether it is defeat looking me in the eye, or it is victory doing the same. ‘I must learn from every condition as I prepare for what comes after them all’.

I had better hurry though. I don’t want to miss this train, or I’ll have to go back home. I don’t want to get two ass whippings.).

Nottbea: This train is coursing with power. I can feel it under my feet as soon as I stepped up in the carriage. (Nott’a says this to herself unknowing the train didn’t start(come alive) until her presence was onboard. Sometimes, and every time, she like many others, will never know how it felt coming onboard a train. A train their own energy will propel down the tracks.).

Conductor: Hello, young lady. Is this the carriage car it says on your ticket?

Nottbea: I don’t know for sure.

Conductor: Let’s take a look. It says you are in coach seating. That means you can find a seat in any carriage of the train that doesn’t say first class.

Nottbea: Thank you. (Nott’a says with an Alabama twang.).

Conductor: You’re welcome. We are now able to get underway. Enjoy the journey. Much is depending on you. Much good, will never happen if you don’t put to use that upbringing you got from your grandmother and mother young lady.

Nottbea: What? Excuse me?

Conductor: Don’t answer me ‘what’ ever again. You heard me very clearly.

Nottbea: I apologize for that. You startled me. I wasn’t prepared for your statement of facts about where I come from. May I ask how you know these things about me.

Conductor: ‘I am that that will talk with you’. I go by different names. All of my manifestations are here to offer service and guidance. That’s all. You may stop this conversation at any time and I will cease this interaction. Are we in agreement?

Nottbea: Yes. What may I call you?

Conductor: You can call me the Conductor. Now find you a nice comfortable seat and get your things stowed away for the journey. I will come by later after refreshments are served.

Nottbea: Okay. (Nott’a starts to open her mouth, but the conductor speaks first.).

Conductor: Don’t worry. You have represented your family well today. Settle in. I must finish my duties. I will come by. (The conductor makes a hand gesture and gives Nottbea a warm smile of approval while turning to finish his rounds.).

————————–Watching the World go by—————————-

(Nott’a I would say squirms in her seat a little. I mean it is understandable. She meets an interesting man, or what appears to be a Black elderly man telling her all these things about herself. I mean things about the two women that matter most in her life. The ‘two people’ that literally made sense of the world to her. When she told her mother she was a lesbian she thought her world was over. When her mother stood and asked her to come embrace her; she knew what commitment meant right then and there.

Her mother did admonish her a little. Only a little when she reminded her of what she said to her daughter long ago. She began to speak to her in an authoritative voice when she was thirteen saying, ‘Nott’a, no matter what, no matter why, no matter how, you come to me with everything and anything that troubles you or makes you happy. I will love you through life and after I am dead and gone. I will never disown you. No matter what you do. Now, I will say this. I may beat the shit out of you, but it will be because I love you.’

Nott’a knew her mother and grandmother were pillars of fire to guide her through the darkest night. The only clouds in the sky to follow her and provide shade from the heat of the day. Her mother told her not to beat herself up over doubting whether her mother really loved her as she said, ‘no matter what’. She dismissed Nott’a of that, and told her to never bring it up again.

Was this ‘conductor’ offering something like that? I don’t see how. My mother and grandmother faced anything down. I mean there were times they looked at me and I thought I would melt. The harshness of their direct gaze. Needless to say I learned to clean up the foolish tendencies really quick. I metaphorically, offloaded a lot of stupidity out of fear I would disappoint them or bring their wrath down upon me.

That same energy, does this conductor really have it? I’ve never felt it outside my mother’s house. What must I do? I must engage my teachings for show. What I know now while learning what I don’t know when I speak to him.).

Nottbea: (The lunch was adequate. I don’t know what to compare it to since I’ve never been on a train before. She starts to get lost in the scenery flying by on this train route. Then the conductor appears.). Hello, sir.

Conductor: Ms. Nottbea, the engineer said to me, he is grateful to have such an engine so crafted and able to pull whatever load is deemed necessary to hook up and bear down these tracks. He says to tell you to maintain all the ‘components’ of your life to keep your engine humming. The vibrations were soothing and he appreciates the opportunity to have such promise driving this train. That beautiful sound. It is barely audible over the sound waves striking the flesh. That’s progress. At least that’s what the engineer likes to believe.

Nottbea: (Nott’a notices a more formal greeting from the conductor and reciprocates in kind.). Mr. Conductor. The engineer said that, ‘he has not had an engine like mine in a long time’? What does that mean to me?

Conductor: Address me as conductor. That is fine. Let me tell you about it. May I sit across from you? I’m on my break.

Nottbea: Sure. Well, are you sure you want to spend the time with me? I mean we just met. We don’t know each other.

Conductor: I know exactly who you are Ms. Nottbea. I’ve been expecting you for 22 years to help us get this train out of the station. You grew up Birmingham, Alabama. You graduated from Holy Family High School with honor and gained an academic scholarship to the University of North Carolina. You majored in mathematics. Out of all the employment opportunities that have now come your way. You’re torn between the private sector and the government. A Federal government opportunity looks promising right? How am I doing so far?

Nottbea: I am amazed. Why am I here? From what I can tell from a limited exposure to what life has to offer. Are there things I am here to learn from you?

Conductor: Interesting. I mean we couldn’t go anywhere without you, so it is natural that we explain what is going on to you. You are asking about what you don’t know so you can go learn it right?

Nottbea: Yes sir, I am.

Conductor: Your motor is being fine-tuned as we speak. Not many passengers that board this train, or any of the trains we conduct, ever ask about what they don’t know. Many of your years were well spent in the care of your grandmother and your mother. Honestly, I can start your training farther along the ‘way’ than most first time riders.

Nottbea: I thank God for my grandmother and my mother all the time. I must be straight with you. I hated their guts for a long time growing up. I mean their rules were restraining. I mean I finally got to a point in life where I had an awakening. I mean I realized I was stupid. For a long time I was stupid to bump heads with them. One thing I do thank God for though. They knew who they were. If I had to give a meaning to the words unmoved and unshaken, I’d just put a picture of grandmother and mother by them in the dictionary.

Conductor: (This is where the conductor begins his rapid interruption technique. To catch riders off their guard. To see how they really feel about the ones who cared for them.). Did you really? Reach that conclusion?

Nottbea: Yes, they were bitches.

Conductor: Bitches that were stuck up, or bitches that wanted you to lean toward listening to people that knew more than you. Maybe it was that they ‘trained you up’ in the right way so your energy wouldn’t be devoured by the a more greater energy that leads ‘astray’ the arrogant.

Nottbea: Not stuck up bitches, but old women that weren’t any fun. Maybe a little bit jaded as well if I could add that to…

Conductor: Jaded like a bitch that can’t get a man to stay with them? Or bitches that know what’s out there that can throw a ‘monkey wrench’ in the finest engine and fuck it all up.

Nottbea: No. My grandmother and mother cared not about a man. Secondly they laid out before me the basis of all the games that people play. I’ll sum it up like this. They told me shockingly. A saying I could never forget. ‘What do dicks and pussies get? Fucked.’

Conductor: Okay, they sure were not lesbians? (The conductor suppresses a chuckle. This young lady just did the unthinkable. Surprised him.).

Nottbea: I am, not them.

Conductor: Ah, very good Ms. Nottbea. Wait. I tried to get past. Is that it? Ahh. I got to absorb that saying. ‘Dicks and pussies get fucked?’ You are correct. That is what they get, and I assume they said that as a warning to not look to the ‘flesh’ to answer all your emotions. Right?

Nottbea: Yes. That is exactly what they wanted me to know.

Conductor: Good. So you do know that who you are sexually will not land you a position in mathematics right?

Nottbea: Just like sex not being a tradeable commodity either right?

Conductor: That’s right! Do you know how many lives are just running with an ‘out of control’ engine? I probably should say many ‘engines’ that are never started let alone put in operation. Some people have ‘engines’ that are out of control and they don’t even know it. The mechanical industry even developed a ‘governor’ that kicks in when an engine begins to overspin. It prevents the engine from responding incorrectly to the conditions of a certain situation.

Nottbea: My mind tells my body what to do is that what you’re saying? I have seen many people just living their lives minute by minute. I could never stay in their presence long because their behavior was so erratic.

Conductor: It is good you are well versed in the different motivations and personalities that are on ‘show room’ floors. There is no more explaining that can be done on that topic. Now what about your plans. Tell me what do you have on your mind?

Nottbea: Stop a minute. I’m processing your ‘show room’ floor commentary. I can see those nice sports car through the dealership window all shiny, bright and polished. Everything about it says ‘high maintenance’ right, but the same mechanic works on all the cars? Wow, philosophy. It’s powerful! Like, metaphors do cover a great deal of thought and forethought. Okay, back to your question. First, I want to be able to support myself in the way where I’m not constantly worried about whether I can afford to or not.

Conductor: Do you believe you are better than everyone else? By your ‘sports car’ analogy?

Nottbea: No no. Not at all. I’m off the ‘lot’. The new car ‘lot’ to be clear. I say that because I haven’t ‘driven’ a ton of miles yet, so I still have that new car smell. I know where I come from and I know what I’ve been taught. My task will be just like everyone else’s tasks in life. That ‘vapor’ is visible only so long right? I will stay ‘woke’ and keep my energy moving in a positive direction.

Conductor: That answer Ms. Nottbea, is acceptable. Make sure you keep it on your heart. You got to get ‘it going’ off the lot and on the road in order to arrive somewhere in life. Just you better know where you are headed. You hear me? (The conductor paused in the middle of his sentence to process the satisfactory first look at this child’s life.).

Nottbea: Yes, I have heard every word you have said to me. I’m just here to learn. Grandmom and Momma instilled in me the knowledge, but it is I that must know when, how, where and for what to use it on.

Conductor: I must say even I got some nourishment today. Too many times I have to do the uplifting.

Nottbea: Oh. Okay, that is the same way I feel sometimes around my friends who aren’t as confident. I mean that in a way that they can learn to be confident. I know I am strongest around the majority of them.

Conductor: Keep it that way. You are perceptive. Already you know that you don’t have to be ‘weak’ in order for others to feel validated. Some people will not take up their mantle. Some won’t even bend down to lift it upon their shoulders. Don’t feel sorry for them. Feeling sorry for them will not help them.

Nottbea: I’m glad I understand what is happening here. It is by the ‘energy’ you’re transferring these things to me. I had to open my ‘socket’. For lack of a better word in order to make the connection constant with you. I know. I have to unplug now. I have to go soon. Let me ask you this. Should I push for a higher salary right out the gate? I’ve been told not to sell myself short.

Conductor: Well Ms. Nottbea, only the private sector could offer a reasonably good opening salary for your level of knowledge. I mean you don’t have expertise yet. You have the book smarts, but not the hands on experience.

Nottbea: I take it then I should act accordingly to what’s available? Plan the future considering all the variables. Understand that I need to be humble in the first years of actually taking on the responsibility for my life.

Conductor: My gratitude I extend to you Ms. Nottbea. It is nourishing to know that there are people out there that actually give a dam about raising children in this world. Know this. I give more respect and honor to your caregivers. They stood in the breach protecting you from the vastness of the foolishness that roams this world looking for naïve people to devour.

Nottbea: Okay, when you put it like that, it sounds scary. I got what you meant anyway. I’m going on.

Conductor: Maybe you are ready to actually see it for yourself. Not now though. Dam show not now. My break is over. Be stout Ms. Nottbea. You are not done yet, and by the way. When you get off this train; it will remain in the station until we get a ‘new, used, old, vintage, or rebuilt’ engine. Or not.

Nottbea: For sure. Thank you Mr. Conductor for talking with me.

Conductor: Looks like we are at waypoint ‘Further”. Your stop. May the path be in sight, even if the view is blocked, as you go on your ‘way’.

Epilogue:

(Nottbea disembarks the train and notices that her bag is slightly heavier. She is sure she didn’t buy anything, or somebody put something in her bag when she wasn’t looking. No she tells herself. It is heavier for a reason. I lost some weight, what you would call dead weight, and I gained some weight. There are people out there that want to help other people do better in their lives. I didn’t know a conversation could literally boost your energy levels. A conversation could actually strengthen your resolve to ‘press on towards the mark’. There’s that living in Birmingham, Alabama doing it to me again. Talking like that.

All of that interaction would be for naught if I don’t do what I am capable of doing. Succeeding while helping others to succeed. That’s what the ‘conductor’ did for me. He said I was good company. He said I was enjoyable to be around. The ‘conductor’ also said that there are people who mean you the ‘worst’ of the world. They are as necessary as bugs for a bird. What’s the old saying down south?

‘Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it’. That means if you put it on a plate and serve it to someone else, but you would never eat it. Don’t be mad when the same is put back on a plate and served to you.

Don’t worry ‘conductor’, Nottbea says. I will keep my head about myself and not succumb to the ill will shown to me by the few. I will brush it away and let the ground turn it into fertilizer.).

Come, uncover all that has been hidden and be free.

Episode 3: VOTE!

Forgive the delay in getting back to all of my loyal seekers of wisdom. Let me do a few things first if I may. To Dr. Jill Biden, I did not waver because I believed what your husband, President Joe Biden said he would do and he fulfilled his promises. Your kind words of being ‘faithful’ to him. I do not deserve such a great honor. I have sought my entire life to build relationships. Dr. Jill Biden, you have shown me that my life’s work is not in vain.

Now to the future. I do wholeheartedly give my support and energy to the candidacy for President of the United States to Vice President Kamala Harris. While I did take a brief period of time to let my heart subside from the massive shock of President Joe Biden’s decision to step aside; I none the less, must be who I am. I have fully processed the events of the last days and received instructions on how to proceed forward. This is it.

Allow the picture to form the image in your mind exactly as it clearly states. Vote! Vote as if the future of freedom and democracy is at stake. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has the economic record that speaks for itself. Do not, do not let someone else tell you a lie when the truth is known. If you believe a lie, you will have to answer as we all will to our maker. The liar will not be a character witness for you when you take the ‘stand’ alone.

I promised I wouldn’t describe the picture in its entirety in this post of ‘Out In Black’. Be ready. The next post is going to strike like a hammer!

Issue 33: Comes Back Around?

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

‘It is as it was before and now it is again as it will always be’. The ‘Church of Man’ following ‘The Book of Man’ never fails. Republicans are who they are. Like the former coach of the Arizona Cardinals said, ‘they are who we thought they were!’. Now the ‘legacy’ media are playing their games once again as if they never got the racist responses from this ilk before. That’s why one of the reasons this website, www.landcause.com, has people from all over the world signing up nearly every day. The truth, no adjectives or adverbs needed, will always be written on the digital page here.

Republicans, ‘the content of their character?’ Yeah right, when they trot it out to pervert and deflect a conversation from their natural pattern of thinking. A diversity, equity and inclusion hire they say describes Vice President Kamala Harris of the United States of America. So, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t win the election by the vote count and the electoral college like all Presidential candidates. Although a few were not chosen or elected by popular vote from each State. Guess who?

Now I’m pretty sure if you believe the Republicans, millions do and they will meet their maker to answer one day as well, that Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t pass the bar exam to become a lawyer. No, it’s the same bar exam for men and women. No, it’s not a bar exam for Whites only, or a bar exam for Blacks only. For that matter a bar exam for women of color, White women, Asian women or women of different ethnicity. I’m pretty sure Republican voters will believe whatever they hear that’s wrong, disgusting and evil about somebody.

Yeah, what? You actually thought Republicans believed in the tenets, beliefs and values espoused by the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior? Are you serious? Come on? You didn’t believe Republicans see everyone as equal do you? Did you ever? It is as we say in the Black Community, ‘If you don’t know, you better ask somebody?’ That means if you’re in the dark about somebody or something, or the answers to some questions are up in the air. Before you make a bad decision; you better ask somebody before you mess up.

That’s another reason why no one trusts the ‘legacy’ media anymore. When these Republicans make statements like that; they, the ‘legacy’ media reporters, should have clapped back immediately and said, ‘What do you actually believe sir, was judging by the content of your character the truth, or just a convenience for you were no turmoil is brewing?’

Incompetent? When the same exams, tests, licensure, ability to operate machinery, research and scientific development are all standard across the board. Black people still get that played to the racists’ base of the Republican Party writ large? Why? Oh, don’t forget result oriented performance criteria knocked out the park over and over again. Can somebody say legislative achievement of the Biden Administration? Vice President Harris, a big mechanical arm (metaphorically) in getting it done. Please say it ain’t so?

Can somebody just please help me out with the ‘legacy’ media. Is anybody ready for primetime! Dam! Wake up! Those are just the balls out of the ‘strike down’. Wait until the ‘hater’ balls start being thrown. You got that? A play on the ‘heater’? You know? What major leaguers call a fast ball? Oh, forget it.

I guess I expect too much from the ‘legacy’ media. Oh well. I guess I’ll just see mediocre interviews with very little challenging or imaginative questions in rapid fire fashion skillfully on display by the ‘legacy’ media.

For your information, I did see that style of questioning by the ‘legacy’ media years ago. Ahh, whatever, let me just put on Justin Timberlake, ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around’, and just sway to the music.

Article 11: An Apocalypse of Choice!

An apocalypse you say? How about the destruction of faith in justice being blind by allowing the police to use the law to cover their mistakes and crimes while bearing false witness about it. Yeah, the police can charge citizens with crimes retroactively when they are caught breaking the law by law abiding citizens. That’s like a chief financial officer bankrolling a deal that turned out to be fraudulent, but conceals it from the CEO, Chief Executive Officer, by claiming the seller gained access to the account. All the while the CFO actually stole the money.

Basically with no accountability, the CFO can make up any lie and say the Black guy did it. Oh, it still happens today in 2024. Ask Terrell Davis.

Now let me first lay out an apocalyptic scenario. Oh, trust me it’s good. I spent a lot of hours working on this doozy. Let’s say the Democratic Party would be so foolish as to fall for the doomsayers tale of replacing President Joe Biden with someone else. How many States have filing deadlines that have already passed for the 2024 Presidential Election? Would those State Legislatures agree to change their laws to accommodate the Democrats? When it goes to court, it will be local because if you recall the United States Supreme Court said States run their elections right?

Will those State courts speed up their dockets? How many States you think would schedule oral arguments after November 5^th, 2024? If it went to the United States Supreme Court, would the court schedule oral arguments before or after the Presidential election? Afterwards, how long would it take for them to render a judgment?

In effect, the Democrats would be running a Presidential election with no candidate legally registered in all 50 States. Yes, here comes the doozy. The Democrats would be handing Donald Trump the Presidency of the United States on an unopposed ticket!

How many of you actually believe the Republicans wouldn’t fight the Democrats tooth and nail on everything about the election? How many? This is the insanity that comes by sealing yourself in a safe room hoping you survive the ‘apocalypse’ unscathed, but you will emerge to a world of your choosing because you felt safe accepting the doom of a false reality because you believed the word of someone saying there was no stopping it!

That would be a fulfillment of the greatest Republican dream in history. The opposing party, the Democrats, self-destructed because they bought the constant drumbeat of negative stories about their candidate. The Democrats would never know if they just stopped and felt the pulse of the people; they would know millions of men and women wouldn’t care if President Biden was in a wheelchair. As long as he can deliver on what he’s promised about our rights we’ve lost, we got his back.

Oh, two last things. First. Make America Strong Again, Masa, sounds like ‘Massa’ to me. Got some ringing’s of slave and master to me as a Black man. Look the word up. I spelled it just like the dictionary spelled it. The Republicans are just thumbing their noses at women, Black folks, people of Spanish descent while simultaneously throwing us all the ‘middle finger’.

Second. Democrats in the United States Congress. First of all I don’t believe in that ‘coattails’ bullshit because it was coined when only White men could vote. Worry about your own race. That’s why you lost the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022 when you could’ve kept it. Yeah, Democrats, you got played! Listening and looking at somebody tell you you couldn’t win. That’s your own fault! Stop blaming everybody but yourself! Run your own dam race and cheer for the team.

You do believe you are on the side of righteousness right Democrats? Act like it!

ISSUE 22: God Is Not Mocked!

I will honest with everyone here. All my users know that I am not a practitioner of ‘The Book of Man’. I have never been. I will never be a member of the ‘Group of Haters’. Roaming about stealing, killing and destroying all in the love of their God. The ‘God of Money’. The ‘love of money’ is the root of all evil. When I go to pull up a weed I’m in awe of the root of it! I want all my readers, my users to be certain of reading this post from this moment on. If you wish to stop right here, please do so.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Galatians 6:7…Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Donald Trump told the Proud Boys to ‘stand back and stand by’. Donald Trump said the young boys accused of raping a woman in Central Park New York should be put to death albeit they were innocent of the crime. Donald Trump told his followers at rallies to ‘beat the crap’ out of protestors. Donald Trump said ‘there were good people on both sides’ in Charlottesville, Virginia at that Unite the Right rally where an innocent woman lost her life.

Donald Trump has thought, believed, threw up his middle finger and cursed God all his life. What happened to Donald Trump in Pennsylvania he called upon himself. God is not one in this day and age to allow an evil man such as Donald Trump to believe he can ‘mock’ God and get away ‘Scott free’. Are you kidding me? Every God fearing Christian knows the moving of the hand of God when they see it.

I am a Christian Black man. I am not somebody to be counted amongst the group of so-called Christians on that wide path that leads to Hell. I have seen the wrath of God with my own eyes delivered to my own father. My father was just like Donald Trump in some ways. He believed he had total dominion over his children to mete out cruelty, vicious beatings with extension cords, and only provide provisions for himself. My father died on a hospital bed virtually emaciated.

All those Republican so-called Christians clapping and cheering a man that just got told by God, ‘stop trying to mock me, my law is unshakeable’. The Republicans are behaving in ways just as I suspected they would. God gave my father countless opportunities to repent. My father never did. That choice was his. God rendered my father’s judgment only on what my father did. Not on what other people spewed out what he did. God judged my father on what he did to us. The cruelty my father meted out with grinning, saliva dripping joy! That’s what my father was judged on.

I chuckle at these Republicans. These so-called Christians or church-goers or whatever they claim to be. Donald Trump was simply judged on what he did. Donald Trump harvested what he planted. Period! Nobody is responsible for the ‘acts’ of Donald Trump but Donald Trump. Nobody told that man that shot Donald Trump to do it. So when all these so-called Christians roaming around trying to prop up an evil man; I’d say be careful of what you’re doing.

Donald Trump will not be President of the United States again. Nobody in their right mind would vote for this evil man. Now God has spoken. Believe the word of God or believe the ‘Book of Man’.

The choice is yours.

Founding Statement: There comes a precious moment in time that all life drops the ignorance of superiority. When the ground realizes it needs the water to survive. The tree realizes it needs the ground to hold it in place. The air realizes it needs the tree to replenish the oxygen it desperately needs to create the weather patterns that acclimatizes the Earth. Responsibilities are intertwined because a living planet depends on every element to function according to its purpose.

Issue 19: Pursue!

Let me tell the part of the story that always seems to be forgotten when it comes to its retelling in American circles. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. 1 Samuel 25 tells a different story than what Americans so desperately yearn to hear. Abigail, the wife of Nabal, knew her husband at the time, his name was Nabal yaw’ll, made offense to King David when King David asked Nabal to basically resupply the army. Nabal told King David’s messengers no.

Abigail, Nabal’s wife, was advised by the messengers what her husband Nabal said to the messengers and she leaped into motion. When she amassed provisions and made haste to King David she knew what would happen if she didn’t. It is written that Abigail lighted off her ass (horse likely) and fell at the feet of King David asking forgiveness. Her husband she said was in ‘folly’. Mind you King David knew that Nabal was blessed with prosperity and only asked enough to resupply his men for the battles they must fight.

Now you can read the books of Samuel for yourself. Skipping on to 1 Samuel 30 is where King David and his men came to Ziklag and found the city burned and all within whisked away captive. Listen to me now, this is key. All of the people, and the men that were with King David spake of stoning him. Now this man, King David, had waxed great in battle on many occasions. Delivered many victories to the people of Israel. Stayed the hand of God for their iniquity too many times to count, and this is what they were balling their eyes out to do to him. Stone him?

Read the rest for yourself as I have stated. The point is that President Joe Biden has done great things for America. Let me say that again. For America. Not for himself or just his family. Not just for a few well connected rich men who still believe that money equals spirituality. Go figure that one out and when you do you let me know.

Of course, along the way, King David finds an Egyptian young man and nurses him to health by feeding him. Well you get the point and if not I say again go read it for yourself. What I admire in the end when King David rescues his wives and recovers all that was taken; he disagreed with his men not willing to share the spoils. That is a leader!

One more thing so-called church goers, evangelicals, whatever you call yourselves. 2 Samuel 23:3 says ‘He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God’. Do you think Donald Trump would rule in the fear of God? So what makes you think he would not throw your asses in a lion’s pit and watch them tear yo ass limb from limb you fools!

President Joe Biden has justly governed America. All leaders, women and men, must be held to a higher standard. A standard that is based on what you do, not on what you say only. I’d take a woman like Abigail any day. Abigail foresaw the danger and spirited to the feet of King David to make forgiveness. Women, you’ve got to take back your status. Men cannot know everything! Men do not see everything!

Oh, one last thing. When a man or woman that is doubted; he or she always decreases his or her circle of counsel. King David sought the priest and he sought God because his wives were not available to him for confidence. Ball your eyes out somewhere else if you want to complain about President Joe Biden not wanting advice from you. Who would!

I strongly and humbly ask President Joe Biden to complete his mission. Please sir, stay and be our President. If you make any other choice than that, you will set a precedent that will be the new standard. Don’t let those clowns, I don’t care who they are. Mouths dripping with wine and feasting in all their personal glory. Let me see now. Are these the same people that believed the ‘polls’ that said in 2022 the Republicans would win the U.S. House of Representatives in a landslide?

Then we both know what the Democrats did don’t we? The Democrats came off their ‘game’ and it was just enough to throw the House to the Republicans. Stay on target Mr. President. I’m retired Army so you know I got to use the ‘lingo’. Don’t waste or dilute your spiritual energy trying to convince the weakhearted about how strong a just heart is. I’m counting on you Mr. President Joe Biden.

Many others are as well. Pursue!

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 57 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 13: The ‘Tired’ Legacy News Media at it Again

Loyal users be steady. Don’t listen to the ‘Legacy’ media of ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and all the newspapers tell you about how President Joe Biden is doing anything. They are not in the discussion! Let them fill their pages with garbage because that is all they have. Users, you’re getting to witness with your own eyes the lust for ‘pointing out the setbacks’ of others while completing ignoring the destructive and vicious history of newspapers and the ‘legacy’ media in America.

Who do you think published all the ‘Nigger’ auctions in this country? Who do you think published all the alleged crime about ‘colored’ people in this country? How did O.J. Simpson suddenly get such a ‘dark’ tan for the cover of Newsweek? Don’t forget all the negative stories about James Brown. Of course, current trends cite a handful of migrants of Spanish descent as the new ‘boogeymen’.

So, don’t cut them any slack or believe anything about President Joe Biden coming out of their mouths. ‘If their lips are moving they’re lying’. Notice that none of them are comparing President Joe Biden’s character to the character of the man they are propping up to replace him. Donald Trump, aka, King Herod, is not a man you want to leave alone with your wife.

President Joe Biden is human. Human beings falter. What’s the old saying, ‘watch out for those pointing out the faults of others, they have too many of their own to worry about’.

Take a look at my video below. The title is ‘Tired’. I think you’ll see it is appropriate.

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

‘There are no rights granted to any American that aren’t explicitly written in the United States Constitution’. That’s what a conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice said. Understand something right now and laugh it off all you want. When those words were spoken, it means this new United States Supreme Court circa 2024 wants to again define a Black person, a Negro person, an African American as 3/5 of a White Man.

There isn’t written anywhere in the U.S. Constitution that Black people can vote. There isn’t written in the U.S. Constitution that women could vote. There isn’t written anywhere in the U.S. Constitution that Americans can’t own nuclear bombs to protect their homes and property. There isn’t written anywhere in the U.S. Constitution that states Black people can marry White people.

I mean I could go on and on, but I know my loyal users understand me clearly. Again, as I told you, if you think these conservatives, these people on the U.S. Supreme Court are willing to hold back after they have clearly ‘TASTED’ power? You’re delusional! If someone helped you out by loaning you money when you desperately needed it, or took ‘pity’ on you because you’re a fat stupid ass old black hard on the eyes nigger man in a black robe. You’re as ignorant as they come.

I’ve observed this U.S. Supreme Court and I am convinced of their disdain for anybody that is not rich and wealthy. Justice Clarence Thomas is a buffoon of great self-disgust as he hates Black people while foolishly thinking he is excluded from the revulsion that his White colleagues have against him on the court. It’s ironic Clarence Thomas claims to be an uplifter of ‘Blacks’ by urging self-determination, but he now sees more philosophy in restoring the oppressive system he supposedly fought so hard to dismantle. Huh?

The video you’re about to watch is a short one. It is a warning about what these Constitutional ‘Originalists’ claim was so great about America before the U.S. Constitution was put to paper. Get the fuck out of your selfish little lives and understand what’s being brought back.

What’s the old saying? ‘History repeats itself’.

Article 10: March to Battle With Those Who Do Not Seek Defeat!

I wrote this phrase weeks ago and placed in on my THREADS. “The most perilous time are the moments that arise when defeat or victory is assured”. That was a quote from Queen Elethia of my African lore. The second part of the quote provides her reasoning.

“These two outcomes, defeat and victory, are chosen. While the uncommitted soul eagerly welcomes thoughts of defeat as the cause seems too great a task; the committed soul sees victory as elusive. Although to capture such a prize as victory, the valiant soul accepts every element of the cost. This determination drives their efforts beyond what they once believed were possible. Only then can a committed soul herald a new dawn. Thus, as victory has maintained its’ price throughout the ages; defeat will always be a cheap trinket bartered for by those that seek glory. Glory, that is as elusive as the victory they will never capture”.

President Joe Biden is not an entertainer. It amuses me that all the political class, except for a few, set up a debate as the one thing that elects a President. I’m turning my head like a dog wondering what the fuck you’re asking me to believe? If life was like that then everything short of perfection would be a failure. My take on the debate last night, June 27, 2024, was it followed the trend of past incumbent debates by the sitting President. That’s all.

President Biden’s record is still intact. Nothing changed for me last night. I’m committed to victory for President Biden. America is on the line right now. America will not be ruled by that vile, unscrupulous, buffoonish man Donald Trump again!

Stay committed to victory Democrats. Victory is harder to achieve just as it should be. Victory won’t be found among the relics of forgotten empires. Those historical empires fell to the dunghill of lost promises because of devious men they chose to rule over them. Donald Trump wouldn’t even be allowed around your wives let alone your daughters. Why would you want a man like that slobbering over the head of John the Baptist again?

Yeah, King Herod killed John the Baptist because John the Baptist told his ass he couldn’t sleep with the wife of his own brother.

Keep chasing our victory America over men like Donald Trump. We do that and we could eliminate men like Donald Trump from the conversation for all time. Help Democrats secure our future, please!

Foreword:

Trickster: Edition Four: No More Secrets Snickering In the Dark

I am becoming more surprised by the subject matter of my reports as well. Actually, to tell you the truth; I’m falling more and more in tune with my role and responsibility to speak to these extraordinary times and the ‘on purpose’ evils committed against Black people throughout America’s history.

Today, I am locked into my duty. No longer do I feel concerned for myself. I know now why my cup ‘runneth’ over in this discipline of the ‘mind’. ‘Mental Health’ is a vast calling that intermeddleth with all wisdom. Also sorrow must be increased in order to bring the ‘light of truth’ that reveals the snickering evil that lurks behind the evil living among us. These words are contained in the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible in St. Luke 8:17 and Ecclesiastes 1:18.

Far too long have deference been given to these so-called churches in this country. So-called churches that gave aid and comfort to demons seeking to devourer ‘Colored’ men and boys and afterwards wipe their mouths clean. So-called churches that today give aid and comfort to a Republican presidential candidate that has said out of his own mouth ‘he doesn’t have a reason to ask God for forgiveness’. This union or should I say ‘unholy’ alliance of these so-called churches and Donald Trump now I boldly shout have never surprised me!

It is natural for evil to seek refuge in a so-called church sanctuary that welcomes darkness. If these so-called churches want to send their so-called evangelicals (I call them EVAN-DEVICALS) out to confess Donald Trump to the Almighty God as a good man, I tell everyone to let them. God is not listening to them anyway.

While these so-called churchgoers continue to tell the rest of us how good Donald Trump is; I will continue to tell everyone of the ‘sins’ of these so-called churches that have never confessed their vile roles in the history of civil rights in America. One thing I despise with a passion is a hypocrite throwing their so-called religion out there as if their hands are clean and their mouth were never filled with filthy hatred.

In closing that is what I envision in the ‘Mental Health’ realm of the mind when I hear the lies of these folks. The snickering evil standing behind these folks happier than ‘a June Bug walking through tall grass’. Nah, you don’t know what I mean so I’ll tell you.

A June Bug is hidden in the tall grass from the fowls of the air that seek to consume it. I didn’t make an untrue claim and say Donald Trump said it. A demon would say to you Donald Trump didn’t say what I told you he said. Watch out. All these folks want to be a sidekick to an evil lying man such as Donald Trump aren’t worthy of respect either.

I say their fealty is like ‘incredaboy’ in ‘The Incredibles’. Even though Mr. Incredible disavows ‘incredaboy’. Pathetic isn’t it?

Democracy, Decency and Order are three tenets that America in my beliefs has strayed from for many years. Sure there were some times in America’s history that were glorious in that people were ‘seen’ again. Black people during the Civil Rights period along with gays and lesbians during their various fights for recognition as human beings. Women during the early 20^th Century in their journey to obtain suffrage.

Take away ‘one(1)’ tenet from the essentials of this digital periodical. Take ‘Ground’ away and contemplate for me what would happen to ‘Water’ and ‘Sky’? It would at the very least have an effect on the quality of the ‘water’ and purity of the ‘sky’ correct? What would hold the trees in place? If the trees cannot maintain ‘standing’ in a climate to do their best job of ‘cleaning’ the air we breathe, then what would it do to the quality of life for all ‘living’ beings on Earth?

Take ‘Democracy’ away and tell me now. What would the absence of ‘Democracy’ do to ‘Decency’ and ‘Order’? It would have devastating effects wouldn’t it? Once you ‘decouple’ a vital ‘brace’ or something that holds in place a critical structure it suddenly loses its’ integrity right? One thing is weaker without the other two things isn’t it?

Just a reminder really quick on what comprises ‘Democracy’. A system where ‘social’ principles are prized, practiced and upheld for the mutual benefit of all. I don’t need to remind everyone in this edition what tragedies have occurred in America for ‘her’ to even be at this fortifying time. Listen to me, everyone, America has endured on the prayers of the ‘few’ righteous people abiding within her that God hears.

Please don’t think God hears and rewards the prayers of people who’ve held ‘hoedown lynching parties’ out of the sanctuaries of their so-called churches. The God I worship knows his creation must have ‘one’ strong nation that is democratic, decent, and orderly. America is the ground, water and the sky that is the ‘stalwart’ against evil. That being said, why would the ‘few’(I’m 100% certain they aren’t the clergy) in America that God hears would ever choose a demon like Donald Trump?

Careful going about your petty little lives Americans. Yeah, I said it! Your petty little lives worrying about the price of gasoline, food, and the next superficial indulgence you covet. The lever had better be pulled for President Joe Biden again if you want the freedom to continue your selfish ways.

‘May the Ground, the Water, and the Sky all believe in one another forever’.

Mission Statement:

Come, uncover all that has been hidden and be free.

Episode 2:

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Luke Chapter 12:3…What you said in darkness shall be spoken in the light, what you said in closets shall be spoken on rooftops. I paraphrased it, but you can go and read it for yourselves.

Two things we are going to discuss in this podcast. The true power of women. The treachery of evangelicals by their refusal to help Dr. King in the Civil Rights Movement, but they are eager to believe the lies of such a man as Donald Trump.

Women, I won’t go into the series too deeply on this space. Read it for yourselves in Mental Health: Equal Health. The truth of the matter is that efforts to gain rights, power, authority or a just society cannot be done at the right moment. Remember that time is locked once it passes. What you didn’t do is all that matters ‘in time’. What needs to be done cannot be changed. Women, your rights aren’t something that can be given to you. Women, you must assume them and lock them in!

How do you do that? By following the process already laid before you. Support qualified women candidates for government office. It’s not political office. It’s government office. It’s governing. Get it? That’s how just a simple ‘word’ can change how you see your plight in a different light. ‘Political’ was discovered a long time ago to have a negative connotation. That’s how even the simplest of actions can bring about massive devastation on untold numbers of people. Are you getting it now?

Women, would you hold the door open for other women once you force your way beyond it? Well that’s what you have to do. That’s where you stand after hundreds maybe thousands of years deferring to the ‘authority’ of men only and neglecting your own authority in ‘creation’. I will pause from time to time and do some demonstrations. I know they seem silly, but a visual display of what is required is more than useful in this moment.

In summary, women there has always been a balance required and just because you all have decided to insert your own rules for the rules of the ‘creator’ still doesn’t make the creators’ rules obsolete.

Now to the ‘legacy’ media as I have named above which by the way is not a complete list has given so-called evangelicals a false cloak of piety. It must be nice to be relieved of all fault, guilt, and responsibility for blatantly not following any biblical laws and principles whatsoever. I mean we’re talking about the clearest example of a ‘call for aid’ that should’ve been a ‘layup’ in basketball terms.

History has recorded the refusal of so-called evangelicals to assist Dr. King in the fight for civil rights. Now, that’s not the end of it. I mean with cover from the ‘legacy’ media; these so-called churches held hoedown lynching services in their demon sanctuaries! I wonder if these churchgoers understood they were drinking the blood of evil when they sacrificed innocent Black and Colored boys and men or as they said, niggers. I wonder if they knew the bread represented the bodies of these human beings they killed?

Even now, you would never hear on any of the ‘legacy’ media platforms this truth. They would never question why and then seek to answer the questions of it being so easy for these so-called evangelicals to believe the lies of Donald Trump. Never will you hear them question these folks. Never!

The answers will be spoken and written here on the pages of www.landcause.com for all to see and hear. Period! Liars believe lies.

In closing I want to thank every user who have signed up on this site. Your support is critical as I continue to bring about the truth and nothing but the truth. It is there for you to decide after that. This is Victor E. Moseley from the podcast, Out In Black.

Thank you.

Issue 21: Tipping Reality

This isn’t a situation that just crept upon us unawares. Evangelicals (I will use their correct term for now) have practiced blatant evil from a set of principles aligned with many biblical teachings for hundreds of years now. Not in the way you may think though. This isn’t a righteous appraisal of their holy deeds. This is an appraisal of their ‘unholy’ deeds concocted in the sanctuaries of their so-called ‘churches’.

Lynchings were planned inside these unholy houses of worship. Tell me something. What do you think these so-called church goers were reinforcing when they were performing their idea of the ‘tradition of holy communion’? Did they believe that the wine represented the blood of Jesus Christ or the blood of the next ‘nigger’ they were ‘fixx’in’ to lynch? The bread at their hoedown unholy lynching service. Did it represent the body of Jesus Christ, or did the bread represent the next Black/Colored body they were about to offer up as a sacrifice to their demon gods?

Again, my loyal users, if you are like me and wonder why is it so easy for evangelicals to believe the lies of a man like Donald Trump? This is your answer. The scripture of the Holy Bible and the scripture of Satan are two different things entirely. Satan was given the job to be the first teacher. Just putting that out there you know. Then logic would leave the rest of us that know right from wrong to conclude that the behavior of evangelicals is consistent by the obvious facts of what transpires in their so-called houses of worship on a daily basis.

Furthermore, America’s adversaries, foreign and domestic, know that lies can be directed to their destructive ends by a clever man. No no no, I’m definitely not saying Donald Trump is a clever man, but the mischievous trickster, Satan, can turn the ‘error of your ways’ against you. President Vladimir Putin of Russia, and all that are like him, can play men like Donald Trump like a tambourine. A tambourine is the easiest musical instrument to learn because it’s not complicated. All you have to do is ‘shake’ it in the open or ‘beat’ it between your palms.

Get it?

As I’ve pondered this question many times over the course of my life. Why did ‘White’ so-called churches resist the call for aid by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the struggle for civil rights? That’s the answer! When you sit to worship in places that supposed to tell you ‘to love thy neighbor as thyself’; that’s the part that’s missing.

For it is written, Satan cannot cast out his own.

Now, I have been ordered to say this. ‘There should go up in every so-called church of evangelicals that have had lynchings planned in their sanctuary, a marker that states this ‘offense’ against God’. So, that everyone that wishes to sit in such a place believing in good faith that ‘evil’ was planned, but repentance should have followed in short order.

If that never happened, it should be corrected immediately. If not, that is why men like Donald Trump are believed and welcomed. It is in the nature of evangelicals to do nothing less. Honestly I’d like to have one of these so-called church programs ‘announcing’ the time and date of the next lynching. It would be a great piece of perverted history to hold in ‘tradition’ of the blood and bodies of Black/Colored people sacrificed in honor of Satan.

A ‘tip’ of my hat I give in admiration to evangelicals to stay true to the evil ‘reality’ borne in the sanctuary and dark halls of their so-called houses of worship.

Issue 12: Stress Testing: Back To The Roots

Part Seven

‘And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle’, from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible, Revelation Chapter 12. It must be nice for men to claim all ‘power’ over the Earth. ‘Men’ claim to rule justly and wisely. How then do they not know that ‘women’ carry the very existence we all take for granted. Again, I’m not going to lay out all the text here for you. My, what it must have taken for ‘men’ to diminish the valiant nature of ‘women’. I will laugh no more at women or those ‘men’ that have allowed this ignorance to take root and extend deeply into the very ‘ground’ of our minds anymore!

‘Stress’ is knowing that the duties you are given as a ‘help meet’ aren’t menial tasks such as sweeping the floor or wiping the dinner table of crumbs from ungrateful men. ‘Stress’ is knowing your role is the responsibility of maintaining life once it breaches the ‘matrix’. I mean I don’t know if ‘men’ could withstand the wrath of the ‘great red dragon’ and still protect the child given unto them? I mean ‘women’ are so pure that even the Earth saw fit to aid the woman by swallowing up a great flood sent against her.

Every one of my loyal readers who have signed up as users know what I must say now. ‘Self-care’ starts with telling yourself the truth. Women did allow this ‘tree’ of degradation to grow. To send ‘roots’ deep into the very conscience of women’s minds. To wrap themselves around their thoughts and thus begin to be nourished by the constant reinforcement of created ‘truth’.

That’s right! Women have built a reality around a created lie. A lie they have so long allowed to be fed by the energy of their thoughts that it became intertwined to the point where what’s true and a lie are indistinguishable now. Women. That’s what you did to yourselves!

Let me be clear. Where is it written that the woman and the man were given power and authority at the same time? Exactly! The nature of true power is when it is joined by another power! Did the woman have the power to make the Earth swallow up the water from the ‘great red dragon’? Noooo! The Earth choose to use her power to help the woman.

‘Woman, thou art loosed’!

Issue 11: Stress Testing: Diabolical

Part Six

Per my instructions this is the new post in this series. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible I am taking everyone to 1 Corinthians 11:1-12. Read it carefully for yourselves, but I will summarize the text here. The sayings are so that it doesn’t speak of a woman needing to be married to pray or prophesy. A woman for sure is given her hair as a covering and glory. Whether married or not, both man and woman are stronger when they understand they need each other.

Spiritually or not, frankly I’d trust an atheist over a hypocrite any day including weekend days. For example, what did the man say to God when he confronted him about eating the forbidden fruit? ‘Well God, it’s yo fault. You gave me the woman and she gave me of the tree and I did eat it’. Now here’s the woman’s confession. God to the woman, ‘What did yo ass do?’ The woman, ‘The serpent beguiled me and I ate it’.

Tell me again who is mentally strong and forthright? Huh? Who answered God directly by acknowledging failure is the one I’d follow. Let me explain as I see some of you don’t fully understand the meaning of confession. My definition in case some of you forgot. ‘Confession’, means to eject or spue out what has sickened you; a poison the body rejects has been cast away. Once what ails you no longer threatens you, your health improves, or you heal instantly or surely momentarily.

Yeah, it is ‘diabolical’ that women have been told lies. The ‘lie’ of failure that has weakened women in the eyes of man. I’ve heard it many times that if the ‘Devil’ would’ve come at the ‘man’ first; the ‘man’ would’ve rejected the ‘Devil’ and not eaten of the forbidden fruit. I’d say you’re right. The ‘man’ would’ve bargained with the ‘Devil’ against whatever the Devil knew God had required the ‘man’ to perform. Isn’t that right?

Understand now what the pages of the spiritual text showed you. What wasn’t written implies the ‘understanding’ you lack; the gaping void in your reasoning ‘man’! I propose a counter to the ‘diabolical’ statement made by that stupid NFL kicker.

I reason what saved all of ‘HUMANITY’ was the ‘WOMAN’ not shifting blame to the ‘man’, but the woman accepting blame of a truth for what she did when asked directly by God himself!

She, the ‘woman’, said she fell for the trickery of the Devil. The ‘woman’ didn’t attempt to shift blame to being hungry or shift blame to God for why you put me here in the first place right? The ‘woman’ didn’t say to God, ‘well you should’ve warned me about the danger lurking in the garden’. ‘It’s yo fault God’. The ‘woman’ didn’t say nothing of the sort did she?

The ‘blame game’ wasn’t played by the ‘woman’ was it? Was it!

Remember that ‘women’ when your birthright is challenged going forward. Damage can be reversed. Reclaim your strength ‘women’ because there has always been a ‘diabolical’ tale of twisted reasoning deployed against you for centuries if not thousands of years.

Seize back your power women!

Issue 10: Stress Testing: Degrade

Part Five

When did you feel it? What age were you at the moment you sensed that something was not quite right? Are you like I was as if balance of thought and knowledge was off between the genders? I must confess that when I finally slowed down my rush to ‘know wisdom, and to know madness and folly’ a cascade of answers came amidst the vexation of my spirit.

Why did Jesus allow a woman, characterized by men as unworthy, to touch him? Why did Jesus allow the substance of her body, her tears, to rain down on his feet? To wash his feet with her hair and kiss his feet with her lips? She anointed his feet with oil didn’t she? Oh, that’s not convincing enough men? Mary Magdalene went to the sepulchre early morning and saw the stone moved she went and told Simon Peter and Peter.

When Simon Peter and Peter looked into the sepulchre and verified the body of Jesus was gone, they left. Who stayed there? Who? Right. It was Mary Magdalene who remained weeping because she didn’t know where Jesus was anymore. Two angels appeared unto who again? Right you are again. Unto Mary they appeared. When Mary Magdalene turned again away from the angels she saw who?

So Jesus’ first appearance after his murder, ahh crucifixion, was unto a woman! This is all taken from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. I must say a closer look at things does bring more clarity huh? All my life I’ve been out of balance because all the lore and glory of the Holy Bible was professed to be a record of the superiority of ‘man’. Huh? I wonder why that has always been the reading of the record wherever the ‘word’ of God was proclaimed? Proverbs 11:1…A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

Just to recap for those that are late to the series. When did God consult with man or ask his input to make the woman? When did God ask permission of the man to use Mary? A woman betrothed to another man to bear the burden. To be the vessel of glory. To carry his son to term and deliver him as a savior to all the world?

Let me ask a simple question of men. If I need a product that would help me climb up on my roof to make repairs would I use a broomstick or a ladder? If I needed to tighten a bolt to lock a car engine to the frame would I use a hammer or a socket wrench? Lastly if I needed a contraption to carry provisions for a long journey would I use a backpack, or would I use a cart or wagon that would do the job without burdening the traveler?

Again, God said he made the ‘woman’ as a ‘help meet’. Do you still not know what ‘help meet’ means? Are you saying then man, of your ignorance, that God was deficient in providing you something that couldn’t actually ‘help’ you? Every evangelical man would answer that question in the affirmative. I said every evangelical man would say God failed to provide him an actual ‘help meet’ that could bring to bear what was needed in every situation to complete whatever task God set forth a man and a woman to do. Period!

This is the degradation of the scales of justice. I know I’m hardest on men on because I am one, but this degradation lies solely at the feet of women. Millenniums, centuries, decades have seen women just be reduced to no more than a ‘specialty’ tool taken off the shelf for a few odd purposes. Remember that verse, ‘condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth’.

Women, this must stop. I’m sorry about this slang, but I have to say it. ‘Check yo-self be-foe you wreck yo-self’. It starts at the voting booth. Change who represents you and start taking back ‘your’ BIRTHRIGHT!

I only see Democrats that will help make that happen.

Issue 9: Stress Testing: Delay

Part Four

I am led to continue this series, so let’s keep it going. This is a spoiler alert. The one thing that rises up in front of a success being fully into reality is impatience. That alter ego of patience that somehow always manages to be a mudslide or an occurrence of fallen rocks that lays directly in the path of the finish line. Yeah, tell me about it. Why is it that the finish line somehow just has to lie in between two mountains on each side that makes a diversion impossible?

Yes, it happens to me all the time this feeling. I’ve come to expect and honestly welcome it. Why? Because I know when it creeps into my thoughts trying to delay my goals of success, it serves as confirmation! Remember the post I’ve written titled ‘Confirmation Hearing’. Stop being upset as the ‘enemy’ launches an onslaught at you right at the time you’re about to complete a task. That tells you that on that field of ‘battle’ you have outmaneuvered all your doubts and obstacles!

Your success is inevitable if you just ‘swing’, metaphorically, that final killing blow to all the trials and tribulations that have befallen you! Women, did you really believe that standing up for your birthright while reclaiming your status given to you by the ‘Creator’ would go across easy to men? Did you?

In Genesis, God didn’t create you in front of the man nor did he ask the ‘man’ for advice on what to put into the mix of what a woman should be did he? Did he? This Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker is amusing. Read his words slowly. This is why I just said to read his words slowly. Reading things in the past, to include the Holy Bible, at a brisk or even a fast pace, left a ‘lot’ to be desired to my understanding of the texts. It is necessary for me to reveal I read everything at a much more slower and thus more comprehensive pace. This has enhanced and elevated my understanding and knowledge.

That kicker is expressing what he believes the role of his ‘woman’ his wife is. Notice I said, what he believes the role of his ‘wife’ is. Did he ever expound in his ‘outburst’ what his role as a ‘man’ is in his marriage? Did he ever say that the ‘Holy Bible’ says ‘one’ flesh is what you become when taken in marriage. Did that kicker say he respects his wife? He just said what he knows his wife thinks. Huh, that’s funny. I thought a ‘help meet’ brings to bear what her role in the ‘structure’ of marriage is as mandated by God. I didn’t know a ‘wife’ was simply a specialized ‘tool’ that only serves one specific purpose.

This is the ‘DELAY’ women that amounts to a rockslide, mudslide or a tornado flinging in your path all ‘matter’ that was unfortunate to be in ‘her’ way. Expect it! Dam it as a tell! Embrace it for in it lies the truth. Your ‘enemy’ sees his defeat is assured! Swing that final blow and reclaim your rights!

It cannot be delayed any longer. The ‘only’ (linger on ‘only’ for minute) path is through!

Issue 17: And the Devil said, ‘I will give thee all power if only you worship me’.

Let’s get right to it. Women, these are the ‘Acts’ of your masters you claim are needed to rule your bodies. These are the so called ‘Christians’ that scurry up to Donald Trump looking to receive some rule over part of his kingdom in a ‘moment of time’. Do you still believe they are doing it because they support a political party or they’re doing it because they want to rule unjustly over you?

Again I will not state the text of the Holy Bible here. Read it for yourself in the Authorized King James version in Saint Luke Chapter 4:5-7. Stop believing that government is a creation of man. It is not! Decency and order demanded the establishment of such a structure which enables humanity to change and correct as wrongs are revealed unto us all.

Donald Trump should never have been allowed in the White House in the first place. Being cynical is a personal luxury. Keep that shit to yourself! America is everlasting and I will not allow my vote to be cast for a vile man like Donald Trump. President Joe Biden is not perfect, but we all know in our heart that Donald Trump is not someone we need to have the rule over us.

Do you believe Donald Trump would not have accepted the entire universe from the ‘Devil’ if the Devil told him what he needed to ‘transact’ in exchange for such a prize? If you said Donald Trump would have told the ‘Devil’ to fuck off you’re drooling at the prospect of what Donald Trump will ‘break off’ of the universe to give you to rule over. Good luck with that. Psst, come closer, I don’t want to yell this out. The ‘Devil’ could give a rat’s ass for your soul!

The ‘Devil’ craves the throne of ‘God’. Period! What, your little ass eternally standing up in Hell because your butt would burn sitting down is your own fault. Remember that when you’re thirsty and sweaty wishing for a cool breeze.

Look at Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Look at his face! Do you not see the countenance of his being exuding deceit? Do you not see it is no longer an easy sell to trick the American public? The ‘legacy’ media and those big newspapers like the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal can’t fool the masses anymore because there is finally ‘TRUTH’ being told through more news and respected opinion outlets.

America will endure. Do you know why? Like Rachel Maddow says, ‘Don’t just listen to what they say, look at what they do’.

My part in this life is to stay consistent to my purpose. My purpose you ask? It is to investigate the lies and present the truth. After that I leave it up to the people to make the choice. That ‘discern by use of those senses to determine good and evil’.

If you turn to look at me I’m going to say you did it to yourself. No President of the United States can fulfill the individual wishes of over 330 million people. That’s insane! Grow the fuck up and vote for President Joe Biden.

ISSUE 21: The ‘Finest’ on Full Display Again!

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Let’s delve right into the skill set and professionalism of this officer that murdered Senior Airman Roger Fortson. Starting from where we were allowed to join this bumbling clumsy lolly gaggle approach of a Sheriff Deputy. The deputy arrived at the apartment complex and nonchalantly made his way to some central office where he spoke for a few seconds with someone in authority I presume.

The deputy didn’t ask any questions or investigate, as is the claimed responsibility of law enforcers, only to swiftly turn and walk out of said office or whatever. The deputy then met a female, he didn’t know who she was, nor did the deputy attempt to ascertain her standing there in order to legitimize her or validate the information she proceeded to give him concerning some rumor of a disturbance.

Now, mind you, take note that the deputy did not pause. Pause. Just for a minute pause and consider the information or lack of he has gathered so far.

I will interject here and give you my observations. The apartment complex seemed deserted as there were no tenants hardly present. I could hear birds chirping in the background for God’s sake! The deputy made no attempt to radio in to his command station what he has just encountered upon arriving on scene. The deputy received an apparent apartment number of 1401, but the deputy didn’t radio in and ask for any in-service calls to that apartment number.

The deputy didn’t radio in and ask for any 911 calls to that apartment number. The deputy didn’t radio in and ask for the information about the tenant who lived there. Now here’s the key. The deputy didn’t radio in and ask if there was a registered and licensed gun owner living in that apartment!

Now what was the rush to judgment? There was no audible disturbances or loud music or agitated human disagreements in the background of the deputy’s body camera video and audio was there? Was there? This is why nobody respects or trust the institution of law enforcers. I mean what you’d expect when a police officer bursts into a music studio and opens fire not giving a rat’s ass if a civilian is in the direct line of fire.

Oh, and that officer’s associate called that ‘HEROIC’. Heroic? I’m a United States Army combat veteran of two tours in Afghanistan where I was directly targeted by the Taliban. My fuel truck was struck by an IED (improvised explosive device). My base in the Korengal Valley was mortared and struck by small arms fire constantly. At no time in my military training was I drilled over and over again to shoot at the enemy no matter what with civilians in the crosshairs.

Contrasting that with the deputy now moving up to the 4^th floor after receiving a sketchy report from a female, who may have had an agenda, again this airman, to the deputy basically just going up to the apartment door like he’s searching for a stick of gum at a convenience store. Even on the 4^th floor the deputy still hears birds chirping in the background. No noise of a disturbance can be heard at all on the entire 4^th floor. Why did the Sheriff’s office send this deputy?

A complete shitkicking buffoon is smart enough to know what’s about to happen next. This deputy is going to kill whoever opens that door. Now, I dare anybody to disagree with what I’ve just written from watching the last few minutes of a total moron in a clown suit just scrolling up to a citizen, a patriot, an innocent law abiding gun owner minding his own business and murders him.

Tell me the account I just gave is wrong? Copsplain that away. Make this senseless death make sense to me. Anyone? Please? Oh, and by the way, I fully expected this cretin of a deputy to just let Mr. Fortson lie there and die without rendering any aid. That’s not a shock to me. I mean he knows his deputy buddies and the prosecutors will Copsplain what he did away.

Talk of fearing criminals. Criminals are not the ones citizens should fear. Citizens should fear a tried and true structure formed specifically to protect law enforcers from the consequences of their bumbling stumbling reckless 2 week police academy training actions. Heroic? I’m sure the police would label their officers ‘heroic’ if they burst into an operating room and blew off a baby’s head parting the matrix.

Yeah, ‘suspect down’. Uh-huh. That about says it all. That’s all I heard that deputy radio in to his command. Lucky us we have one of the ‘FINEST’ protecting us.

Issue 8: Stress Testing: Decay

Part Three

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible in Genesis Chapter 2:22-24. I’m not going to include the text here as now it is time for you to verify it for yourselves. Women, tell me where did you read in the text that you were inferior to man? Tell me where you read in the text that you weren’t part of the whole? Tell me in the text finally, where if you choose to marry, that it doesn’t say you become one with hopefully a good man to your good woman?

This is the decay that doesn’t happen in one day. It is a process that traverses many days, weeks, months, years and centuries. Secondly. Women. May I ask this of you. Why did an Angel of the Lord appear unto Mary privately? She was espoused to a man wasn’t she? Tell me why did an Angel of the Lord appear unto Mary privately without her ‘to be’ husband present? Read it From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Saint Luke Chapter 1:28-38.

My loyal readers know where I’m going with this so I’ll add a catch up for those just joining me or those who have come back home to me. My calling is not to convince anyone of anything. That’s insulting to your intelligence! You must conclude matters on your own.

Now, back to the ‘Decay’ that women have allowed to build over many years in America. Even iron shows rust on the surface, but the true danger of the decay lies beneath the surface. It is there that the betrayal of the metal buckles under the entire weight of the structure it is required to withstand. How could women with such a ‘rich dependence’ from the First Father himself to bear his son reduce themselves to needing a ‘master’ in the form of a flesh and blood outhouse stinking ‘man’?

God didn’t ask her espoused husband for permission to use Mary as his son’s birth mother did he? God didn’t perform the construction of the woman in front of the man i.e. Adam did he? God never said a woman was nothing without the man. If I read the scripture correctly God said ‘it was not good for man to be alone’. If I were to extrapolate from that it reads to me like God knew which one needed the help, so he would bring someone to Adam that could ‘bring the rain’ right?

This is what I mean about the ‘decay’ that has been allowed to grow and weaken the ‘structure’ of the nature of women. Do you understand me now women? I am answering roughly because this mess has gone on long enough. Yes, there are structural requirements to working together when and if you choose to marry, but even then the marriage is one flesh. So where is the weak part again? Women, you are autonomous and independent first right!

You need a master? I say that emphatically sarcastically! This is why you are where you are today women in America. Under the thumb and boots of shitkickers who don’t have a clue about your birthright! Let me ask you women. Why did God choose to impregnate Mary himself and not use a ‘man’ to do it for him? Ahhh, I see you’re lighting up. You’d have charlatans selling ‘Father of God’ toenails and shit stained underwear on the stock market!

Women? A man cannot claim anywhere in the Holy Bible or other text of Spiritual Beings that a third of the ‘Trinity’ was able to be bared by a man. Do you realize that? A flesh and blood woman was able to bare the awesome power of God himself within her body. Do you get that? Inside her body for Christs’ sake!

And you all, women, claim to need a ‘man’ as your master. I know I’m going to get a lot of 5 day old booze smelling shitkickers furious about this post. Being ‘woke’ is evil as your Republican male masters have told you. Well women, you have just been woken up about your preeminence with God.

Tell God he didn’t need to speak to Mary in private. Tell God he should’ve gotten permission from Mary’s espoused husband to bring Jesus into the world for our salvation. I’m telling you to do this. Tell God he was wrong on a lot of things women? When you finish, go back to your Republican masters and ask them can you lick their boots when they come home while you’re at it.

Women, your decay didn’t start recently. This decay that you have allowed to weaken you internally. It has happened with your expressed permission. Period!

Issue 16: I See the Shoreline!

That feeling you get. I don’t know if many experience it in that moment when it first begins. When the shoreline starts to appear between cracks in the midst of vapors just off the surface of the water. As the darkness fights to keep the light at a distance, the outline of rocks are not to be mistaken. The sense of smell catches the scent of green vegetation and inhales it deeply. The combining of these two senses has now triggered you brain to release excitement. Some may refer to the chemicals by another name, but I’ll stay with uncontainable joy now coursing through veins and arteries.

‘Where we were yesterday is not where we are today’. That statement has been made throughout time itself in many different ways by many wayfaring people building better lives. Lives of note not just for their own pleasure, but lives that bring dignity and hope for countless others who they will never know or meet. That’s the mandate that is most often ignored in the ‘grab bag’ of leadership.

I will continue to help President Joe Biden proclaim this fact until he finishes his ‘mandate’. President Biden has yanked a ‘huge portion’ of prosperity from the ‘unseen’ world into the ‘seen’ world. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 29:18…Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Only a man of faith can do what President Joe Biden has done. What does it say in that Bible that so many fake Christians like to thump? “Faith without works is dead”. Oh, don’t worry, I’m not the one that holds nobody to anything. I will say this though. Put Donald Trump to the same standard and see if he will do one thing to make life better for anybody not including himself. Not talking about money? Just point to one thing he has done to better the life of a single human being!

Please say he has made the lives of women better by taking away the right to reproductive healthcare. I dare you! Don’t get it twisted when it comes to releasing hardships or just creating more hardships to bare. Tax cuts aren’t a sign of prosperity. They never have been. Judging an economy takes a special person with an ‘abundance’ heart.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…2 Corinthians 2:14… but by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality.

Simply put, there is plenty to go around with more being pulled and added to this plain of energy. No? Are we riding horses from North America to Europe? Do we not fly in airplanes instead of hot air blimps? Can I have a conversation with anyone anywhere in the world through technology?

I will say again. It is not President Joe Biden’s job to fulfill the individual wishes of over 330 million Americans. That’s insane! What President Biden has done has led us to be in sight of the shoreline. Are we going to turn back now and let rough seas (metaphorically) constantly beat us while keeping us unsteady on our feet?

I say we will not turn again to Donald Trump to be lost in the chaos of the storm forever. Let’s get to the other side and continue building a better future for all of us collectively. Reelect Joe Biden as President of the United States of America.

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME RELIGION?

Give Me That Ole Time Religion?

ISSUE 20: Stop Digging!

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

I want to hit 3 topics tonight. One, that women, you don’t need a master. Two, inflation will never see 2% ever again; the new normal is 3%. Three, American citizens, ‘get over yourselves’, this is what I mean instead of ‘get over it’ by what was said by Secretary Hillary Clinton. A brilliant United States Secretary of State to be clear!

First, women. All of you, collectively, have allowed men to bleed off their role as the main responsible part in the union of a family, but it is ‘not’ written that women need the protection of a man in order to fulfill ‘your’ role as ‘help meet’! From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bile…Genesis 2:18…And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet for him.

Now women I’ve been given something good for you to consider thoughtfully. Oh, it’s too good (I have two fingers on my mouth with a gleam in my eyes right now.). In the same book of Genesis in the same chapter I want you to read verse 22 for yourselves. Read it over and over again and tell me if I’m right. The Lord God took the rib from Adam for sure. That’s written. Why did he leave from the presence of Adam and create the woman? In private? Ahhh? I can see from the neurons firing in your brains. Why was the woman, a creation of the Lord God, created in seclusion from the man?

Why did the Lord God, in his word ‘not’ tell us that he made ‘Eve’ from the ground? Extrapolating from a known value, ‘Adam’, to an unknown method of what ‘Eve’ was made from around the ‘rib’ of ‘Adam’ should give away the whole ball game right there. The Lord God, women, made you to fulfill your role without being in subjection to the ‘man’! Women! The Lord God never said you needed a ‘master’ to control your behavior!

The Lord God created you around the ‘rib’ from Adam from what he felt you needed. The Lord God never said or I dare say he made ‘woman’ from the ground! Sure the ‘rib’ of Adam was from the ‘dust’ of the Earth in the creation of Adam, but he did not mention what the ‘rest’ of the ‘woman’ was made from did he? Again, do you not understand women, that this ‘private’ method of the Lord God gives away the whole ball game right there?

My, how the mighty have fallen. Establish your rightful place amongst the living creations of the Lord God’s Earth women. Women, your authority is to lead, along with men, the caring of the Lord God’s creation. Act from this position now!

Two, inflation. I do not mind this topic. I will hit it as many times as it takes to make it sink in. American citizens, the price of goods and services is directly related to ‘yo’ wages! Stop digging a hole for yourselves like you don’t understand that. Now, that being said, governments from local to State and Federal have a duty to monitor price increases so price gougers don’t fuck up the economic system.

Inflation should remain lower that real wage growth. You’ve never read in my digital column or commentary where I’ve put my finger on the scale when it comes to the Federal Reserve. ‘Let it play’ is what I say when I live in times of good governance as we have now under President Joe Biden.

The rest of my ‘musings’ on United States monetary policy you will find in my digital periodical of Mental Health: Equal Health. Yeah, in those pages, the discussion will be about you panicking and ‘knocking’ things off your ‘table’, metaphorically representing your sense of stability because you’re not using techniques to calm your thoughts to be at peace when everything is fine. Stop ‘panicking’ because someone tells you to?

Do you not understand that the people, Republicans, doing this wants you to not thoughtfully consider reality before you knock ‘everything’ onto the floor of your ‘house’, your mind metaphorically? I will say in conclusion again. An economy is not based on the needs or desires of 330 millions people individually. That’s insane! An economic system is set up to order things in ways that gives everybody opportunity. Get over it!

Three, American citizens, watch yourselves. This game of Russian roulette you’re playing when it comes to our survival is not smart. The two choices for President of the United States this year is a blessing. The Lord God has done it again. What do you mean ‘he’s done it again’ you say? From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Matthew 27:20…But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

I can see the ‘shit eat’n grin’ on Vladimir Putin’s face right now. So called ‘evangelicals’ if you researched a little further in that book you so like to ‘thump’ you will find that Barabbas committed murder in an ‘insurrection’. Just saying for context.

Donald J. Trump is the choice of those American citizens that wish to destroy what is ‘good’. America is the embodiment of ‘Pontius Pilate’ of our times. Will we wash our hands of America if we put Donald J. Trump back into office? The lessons of history are clear. That’s what Secretary Hillary Clinton was saying when she answered you all ‘roughly’. The ‘spirit’ does speak expressly doesn’t ‘it’?

The choice is clear. Make no mistake about it. Americans, you will be judged just as the citizens were when they were asked who (what) they wanted released upon them? Good or evil? If you don’t know the difference, then you need to ask somebody. By the way, just in case, because there are people that act like they are stupid. Barabbas was the evil one.

President Joe Biden is clearly the better man. Bar none! Re-elect him and let’s keep this thing going America.

Gosh. Even my dog knows when he is in a hole to stop digging.

Issue 7: Stress Testing: Completion Percentage?

Part Two:

No one can be happy all the time. That is fantasy, and it is unhealthy. Now sharing this with you for some, you already knew this by life or advice. Here’s how the scripture puts it. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Ecclesiastes 11:8 but if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

This post is about completing tasks, requirements, responsibilities, expectations or helping righteous people be successful at their chosen duties because others desire to see the righteous fall. It is a draining commitment I and many have freely taken on to ensure the continued existence of America for the good of all. President Joe Biden has suffered defeats in his first term as President of the United States in legislation and policy. This is the balance. There is no such thing as ‘success’ eternally.

Now the task that has fallen to us again is the endurance of America. Do not get it twisted! I am a Black man that has been targeted by all forms of hatred in America. Do I still believe America is the best opportunity to achieve that blessed sacredness of God’s love. Yes I do. Why? Because even though the all exclusive ‘White Male Club’ that formed the governance of these lands, they left too many doors open for the good women and men to change America for the better in writing! Understand that? In writing!

So America is not a ‘great’ country yet. It is getting there, but greatness is still an elusive conundrum. Which brings me to completion. Many tasks whether they are personal, professional or societal are rarely completed on a time schedule. Why not? Because many variables are unknown at the time the task is undertaken.

Example: Starting a semester of college. I don’t care if you’re a genius or an average student. No one can fully anticipate the course requirements of each class in totality. Therefore the assumptions you may have had beginning your quest to start and complete a degree seeking regimen more than likely for 99 percent of us is shattered. This is the moment when our mental ‘toughness’ is ‘tested’. I mean ‘toughness’ in a sense that the course requirements are accepted afterwards, and you make a determination if this is what you want to have listed as completed. Then you make mental adjustments to get it done.

Confidence is built over time. Not ‘on time’. Do you understand me? Completing a ‘block’ of instruction is the ‘phraseology’ I heard a lot of when I was taught skills by US Army instructors. Yeah, it may sound silly to you, but it worked. It taught me and all soldiers I’d say to take learning ‘pieces’ at a time. That way the entirety of learning job skills for US Army professions wasn’t overwhelming. Completion was simplified. (Psst, the US Army’s been doing it for over 200 years. They’ve had some time to perfect their methods. Just so you know.).

America is seeking out the righteous in her midst. A grand order has been given to all her citizens that know what we’re striving to reach. President Joe Biden should be re-elected President of the United States of America. I don’t mean to add politics in this post, but I believe it is necessary to calm everyone down to break the work into pieces. If you’ve been given a piece, then do it for the good of us all. No one class of people or group of people should own the rights to America!

Don’t look at the months ahead here in 2024 before the election as an obstacle keeping us from voting. Complete all the tasks before the due date. Remember. The only way you can fail (in school get an ‘F’) is if you do not participate!

Keep calm and order you thoughts. That’s how you increase your ‘completion percentage’. Focus and begin work on one task, thought, requirement, obligation. ‘One’ piece at a time.

Your mind will thank you for it.

Issue 6: Stress Testing: Explained

Part One:

This is a post that may have as few or as many parts as necessary to one, relay the knowledge and understanding I have received from embracing all mental incoming whether it is overwhelming or benign. Two, whether I can interpret the meaning or not. Three, whether I can simplify it for my own consumption and those that trust me to help humanity in this field.

First I’ll define what it means to stress test a solid, liquid, or a gas. Stress Testing any form of matter is to take it to the point of failure. At the point where the matter meets the requirements for its intended use it can be said that the ‘matter’ in question can withstand maximum pressures set to bear against it.

Now to get straight to the first explanation related to humanity I will focus on what the human mind is capable of withstanding. Example: A Sudden Debt Crisis. Most human beings want to pay their bills consistently on time as it is necessary to stabilize many aspects of their lives. Unfortunately there are unforeseen complications in life that occur which makes this practice of paying debts on time spotty. With all the calls from your creditors colliding with your responsibilities to self and family; it suddenly becomes overwhelming to manage debts against your sense that you are a responsible individual.

This is when stress occurs. Can someone tell me what’s the initial reaction to this sort of common situation in life? Okay. The normal reaction of most is to ‘stack’ it onto an already large pile of requirements that must be addressed daily right? Metaphorically speaking, you’ve just pierced the confidence of your ability to maintain your debts properly. Stop. Tell me in certain terms what this means to your mind? That’s right! You are no longer sure of yourself, nor of the accustomed standards of running your family at the level that everyone expects.

Now you’re uncertain that your mind can handle the added mental load because your mind is still set at the limits you started at when you formed your life. This is the point where the majority of people misinterpret what’s happening to their mind. Listen to me carefully now. Your mind has begun the process of hardening itself for expansion. What do I mean by hardening for expansion?

As your body does not stand still or remains the same as it was constituted yesterday. Today added another day to your life, so from yesterday to today something was added to you. Whether it was mentally or physically you are not the same person you were the day prior. The mind behaves in the same manner. Stress testing is an activated response to stressors in life! Now, this too is important. You have to accept the expansion if you want to retain the stronger mind you’re forming!

I have to end this post here. If I go on then I will have to write a lengthier digital post and I’d just assume to break it into smaller more consumable pieces so everyone can follow me. I will say this before I go.

New experiences in life that come with positive or helpful ‘substance’ that both nourishes and balances the new growth you’ve received means this. The ‘new mind’ has withstood the pressures up to and beyond the breaking point. Your mind is now rated higher than the recorded test you did when you started your journey. The new standard didn’t break! You took on the stressors and proved your mind came out of the process stronger.

The key? Come to expect this process as normal, and your resiliency will be legendary!

THE SOUL OF BLACK LAND

Season One:

Episode Four: The Other Side of Nothing

Prologue:

(The heartbeat. It is the first time I can feel it beating for a purpose solely of my choosing. The heart is what makes us strong Ahuudo. ‘Share it with the ones you love’. Mother Ja’Nee would be in his ear the moment he was born. Ja’Nee would be held to her traditions. Ja’Nee still feels a sense of thereness to all that came before her. She understands why. More than anything in the face of such a cruel land. All the violations she suffered would not make her forget her homeland. In Africa, she still hears the whispers of voices. The energy of love connects her and she would not cut it off. Traditions of togetherness.

Ahuudo has allowed his thoughts to keep him human. He has seen it often. The slave master has many White Devils to hold his ‘kingdom’ in place. Ahuudo is aware of what he must do. ‘I will give to the White Devil what he has given me when the time comes’. Dashurai is building up his response to what he sees in these freed slaves. Will it be enough to contain when he needs these men to follow the predictable outcomes that only planning provides. ‘Hatred is reckless’, he says to himself. Hatred will get us all killed. I must convince my brothers to focus on what’s at stake. The love that Ahuudo shares with his ‘woman’.

Dashurai says it over and over again. What his plan must do in order for everyone to see another day dawn. ‘Believe in it as I do’, he says. I know and I can feel the ‘possible’ rising in you all. That’s not what we should focus on. Focus, ah focus, what is it? Dashurai reminds the men that focus is like what you just did when you protected the wagon train. Remember that ability to do something that had benefit in it for you. This is about us now.

All will be alright as we trust in what we have already proven to each other. We have already proven we can work together. Now we work for us.).

Dashurai: Ahuudo! Call her out! Now! (This is the signal that begins the retrieval of his woman Syghi. Let’s go back to the start and see how everything got to that point.).

————————————-The Establishment Cause————————————–

Cleavur: Dashurai, gather everybody together. We need to go over everybody’s role like our lives depend on it. (Cleavur sees the look on Dashurai’s face and tells him he’s not gonna make it too complicated. Just making sure.).

Ahuudo: I have to yell for Syghi to run to the shacks when all hell breaks loose. I know when the other slaves women see her run, it will make them run or scatter, as you say, to throw off the overseers attention if only for a few moments.

Dashurai: These moments will matter. By scattering it will give us a chance to advance the ground to overtake the overseers. The overseers will live or they will die according to their response to us. Don’t hesitate to kill them if that is what it takes.

Ahuudo: (Ahuudo, looks at Scatt, Brunde, Rackar, Ted, Maar, Jewan, Zunei, Methune and see the expression in each face that tells him these brothers are ready to do whatever needs to be done.). We are all to drop down to the ground when we get the signal. Undo our chains that won’t be really around our ankles, and engage in what you say, hand to hand, with the overseers?

Cleavur: That is right. It is important for you to yell for Syghi when we stop to fight. This will put into the minds of the overseers that the slave women are getting away which they need to stop them from escaping.

Ahuudo: So, when we’re all chained in a straight line. Just look defeated?

Cleavur: (Cleavur is learning just what he knew he needed to learn. Sitting up in his father’s house without a worry, care or matter-of-fact a reason to jump out from bed every morning really was a bore. This is thinking for myself. This is risking life and limb.). I’m just sure of it Ahuudo. If you holler to Syghi to scream and run, let’s hope the other slave women will do the same. We could use all the commotion we can get.

Ahuudo: I can’t put her in danger, is it right?

Dashurai: (Watching Cleavur interaction respectfully with Ahuudo and seeing all the brothers listen closely to Cleavur is good. Dashurai is hoping it goes both ways as all of us will be required to get our hands dirty.). Right now it can’t be helped Ahuudo. We have a plan now. Everybody needs to do their part. Listen to me all of you.

———————————-Getting closer to the other side of nothing—————————

(Cleavur and Dashurai ride into Stakeville to make contact with the plantation in Stakeville that holds Ahuudo’s woman. They stop at the center of town and inquire about the local scene. All the ‘yawls’ and ‘pardners’ and slapping backs for good measure are done well into the afternoon. Finally they acquire the information they need. Joseph Sceaturnds is the slave master for sure now.

Cleavur and Dashurai ride out to do a meet with the owner and just see what they are facing. The plantation is owned by Sam Brownship. Master Brownship invites Cleavur in to show him around the main house and hear him complement the fine furnishings. Cleavur sees the usual bright skin colored females adorning the house in the attire of servants. All in all, Cleavur kind of feels sorry about what he has to do, but it will not stop him from doing it though.

They have what they needed now. The Highhorse plantation is the destination. There are about 20 slave-drivers they’re called working to keep all the slaves in line. Now it’s time to bed down for the night. Dashurai and Cleavur will ride back out of town to where the 8 brothers are to get set for the next day. They figured that the plantation is about 11 miles outside of town due south. They figured they should start everybody walking around dawn. They should be at the plantation by 4 o’clock that early evening.

Remember brothers, Dashurai says, wait for the signal that Syghi is there. You must be close to the slave-drivers. Like right in their pants with them if need be. You got to put them down because they’re not going to just let you collect whatever you want and throw money on the ground for them. Be ready just like you were on that wagon train to shoot Indians that shoot at you.

Alright then let’s get some rest. Big job tomorrow.).

————————————-The Offer is Refused———————————————–

Cleavur: Mr. Brownship, sorry to be calling on you so late and all. We had to make sure the slaves made it all the way here by nightfall. I was wondering if I could inquire about a trade. You know, barter with you for some company with my slaves your slave women.

Sam Brownship: What did you have in mind?

Cleavur: Well my stock here is we equipped. You know what I mean and I just like to you know, get them a little bit of a woman before they break their backs in service of your fields. What do you say?

Sam Brownship: For all of them?

Cleavur: Well let’s take a look at them first. You can have your slave drivers present while we just look them over.

Sam Brownship: That will cost me more from this trade. Will you knock something off the price of each slave say 8 bits?

Cleavur: You want a dollar off each head. That’s steep. I mean that’s going to cut into my profit more than I expected. I don’t want to drive a hard bargain with you seeing that you gave me a tour of your exquisite mansion the other day. How about 4 bits off each head?

Sam Brownship: Six, 6 bits and that’s as low as I can go. Take it or leave here with your mangy stock of no good hides.

Cleavur: (Now we’re getting somewhere. For a moment I thought this was actually a nice place to be a slave and raise a family.). No insult is needed. If your bargain is 6 bits I can settle for 3 dollars a head as it is what minus 6 bits would be? A price of 2 dollars and 2 bits a head.

Sam Brownship: Two dollars and 1 bit, for my trouble to speak more than I had to, to purchase your mangy slaves.

Cleavur: (Good, I hope I don’t have to hate another slave master because I really need to send your outhouse smelling ass to Hell.). Alright sir, that’s enough. I agree to your offer. Now can I see the slave girls you have for my mangy stock to enjoy.

Sam Brownship: Yeah ,wait on it. I may let you look at maybe two, but I will take you up on your offer to have my ‘boys’ out here to watch these mangy niggers.

Cleavur: Niggers? (I will be knocking his outhouse ass out; he thinks to himself). Very well then. Dash, get the pack ready. I want to get this over as quickly as possible. Getting out of this town can’t come soon enough. (Cleavur sees the slave drivers bring some of the slave women out, and he gives the signal to fight.).

Dashurai: Chains!

Ahuudo: (Ahuudo is in front and he has heard the signal to get ready.). Yes, sir boss. (Ahuudo responds to Dashurai’s key word). Now men. Fight!

—————————————–Nothing will not greet me at the end——————————

(Ahuudo, breaks right. Brunde, breaks left. Rack, breaks right. Ted, breaks left. Maar, breaks right. Jewan, breaks left. Zune, breaks right. Methune, breaks left. Scatt, breaks right. Everybody is off the line now. Ahuudo does his part and yells for Syghi to run. Syghi screams for the other women to run away. Somehow she knew she would behold the sight her eyes secretly expected to see. The slave women join the fight and Syghi directs them to help the colored men encountering the most trouble.

All Hell has broken out on the Highhorse Plantation. Some of the slave drivers were watching from a distance and began firing when Ahuudo and the others took down the slave drivers close to them. The distraction is working just like Lissqui said it would. Lissqui said, ‘You’ve got to get the women screaming and hollering like they’re being whipped for dropping eggs. One thing men of all kind don’t like. They don’t like screaming and hollering women. Use it.’

Cleavur tries to manage the carnage and death going on, but he, either through fate or being in tune with Dashurai, sees Dash’s stern furious look admonish him to just go with the plan. That little look from Dashurai meant more to him than he will ever seek to know if he ever sits down in a rocker someday. Dash told him you will see things done to White men that White men did to Colored men except they thought killing us was no different than flicking boogers from their noses.

Kill them all Dash yells! Only he yells it knowingly as the tide of the fight is squarely with him and the colored men now. Yeah, Mr. Brownship! He screams at him as he attempts to ride away on a donkey. Of all the beasts of burden he disdained, this man? Dash thinks. The donkey somehow knows this cruel man needs him now and by instinct he stops. Even the donkey seems to know his masters’ day has come.).

Cleavur: (Cleavur launches himself into the first huddle of ‘slave taskers’ or overseers or whatever and breaks their attention. Then he whips out his ‘bowie knife’ and slashes widely at these White men. The looks on their faces Cleavur thinks to himself he needs to remember. That look like no man ever would come here and challenge our supremacy. Cleavur thinks mockingly to himself, ‘You were wrong boys’.). Ahuudo, move! Fight hard men! Now is your chance to free yourselves. Fight for what you want!

Ahuudo: Scatt, Methune look to your right! More whipper snappers are coming at you!

Dashurai: (This is their first time Ahuudo and the men are fighting for themselves Dashurai thinks. They are moving like the end of the world is near.). They will kill you if you show them mercy! No mercy! Kill them!

Ahuudo: Jewan, Maar, hit and move! (This is the outcome of rehearsing a fight. Ahuudo now knows it works. He will never doubt it again.).

Dashurai: Syghi! Are there any more women in the shacks? Get them out. We are setting them on fire now!

Ahuudo: Syghi! Move! Just go! This place can no more be. (Syghi moves to get the other women out of the shacks without hesitation as her man said.).

Dashurai: (Dashurai thinks again to himself in the midst of all the death and destruction going on around him. Lissqui was right about Syghi. Lissqui said that if Syghi is anything like Ahuudo said she is. Shout to her instructions and she will do it. The chance to end suffering boils a lot of the soul to the surface. Use her and she will help increase your chances of success in getting everyone out of there.). Cleavur. I see you took care of Brownship. Are you alright?

Cleavur: Dashurai! Yeah. I think it’s over now. We did it.

Dashurai: Cleavur, get the men ready to move. If anybody needs patching up let’s get it done quickly. Tell them to take only money and whatever they can trade or barter. Leave the rest of that tacky shit there.

Cleavur: Right. My heart is beating like a drum. How are you so calm?

Dashurai: Because I’ve done a little ‘stress testing’ on that dusty trail we took getting here. I’ve gone over this event, this dustup constantly in my mind and it has made the difference.

Cleavur: Well share it brother. Do the Greek thing you do.

Dashurai: Oh, yeah. Kind of puzzled me there for a minute. The blood pumping rapidly from your heart is because you didn’t expect the worst possible things to happen. When you do that you can start to train you mind to react in the moment faster with all your intelligence working for you. This pushes all the prepping to the front of your thoughts. It helps greatly when you’re in a fight.

Cleavur: That’s why you brought me back to the moment with you yelling, ‘work the plan!’

Dashurai: Good. Let’s pick this up later. The nearest plantation is 10 miles away. We don’t need to be here if they decide to send some good ole boys to help their shit kicking cousins.

Cleavur: Right. Ten minutes we be gone.

——————————————–Back Pay——————————————–

(Syghi and Ahuudo did get a little dusted up in the melee. Something happened though with the colored men no one expected. Maar, Jewan, Zune, Methune and Scatt overheard Syghi say something to Ahuudo that made their day. Hope was alive! Ahuudo was wanting to inflict some retribution on Syghi’ tormentor, but Syghi said to him, ‘What you want? Bring him back to life? Kill him again?’ ‘That fight is done. Which one is our horse? I’m going to get on that horse and get out of here. You coming?’

The colored men saw Syghi and the ‘sassiness’ at Ahuudo and they knew they wanted that too. You could hear the murmurings amongst them. Asking if anymore back there was like her. To this Syghi couldn’t stand hearing anymore and said. ‘I was there you see. You know me you know them. We all got to get out of here. Better do some fast courting and decide right away fellas cause everybody alive is coming’.

So, this is what the other side of nothing looks like.)

Ahuudo: Dashurai, I must say this is a new feeling for me. Being on a horse going somewhere I choose to go. Going somewhere I can say the way things are gonna go.

Syghi: Uh-huh? You know that huh? That back there was like cutting the ‘birth cord’ of a hollering baby that’s mad he’s out of the tummy. Ask me, I think a better way to see it is. We got a whole lot of work to do. That work can be hard on two people, or that work can be easier if we had more hands to make it work.

Ahuudo: You think we need each other now don’t you?

Syghi: I suggest you make that talk happen while we are on this long ride. It is a long ride out of these outhouse smelling parts of these lands right?

Ahuudo: I get the feeling it is already happening. Look at everybody. Shouldn’t be too hard to convince them we need to stay together for a while.

Epilogue:

(It seems some of the slave women have come from different plantations. This isn’t unusual as the sadistic business of slavery knows no limit of cruelty. Two of the women came from New Orleans where a peculiar form of medicine is practiced. Voodoo medicine has some good things about it the colored men and women are finding out. In a country where plants, fruit, vegetables and trees are abundant; it has enabled Wichibi and Messie to heal the wounds of the group.

Seems like things are forming like a village before we even find a place to settle thinks Syghi. This is something now. Syghi’ mind turns to herself and Ahuudo. Ahuudo told her what he has been doing since he escaped the Highhorse Plantation. Some name to give a plantation? Ahuudo is now satisfied. What was torture is now a dead memory along with the plantation he helped to destroy. Out West we go now. Now I truly have something. Something that belongs to me free and clear now, Ahuudo thinks.

My life, and my woman.).

Issue 20: A Proclamation?

Some important things I’m going to announce in this digital edition of America: The ReRoute. First I want to proclaim my disappointment in the Republican Party jumping on Senator Katie Britt of Alabama. I kind of thought that was my job guys. Nevertheless, ‘PAUSE’, (A nurse at Lincoln Trail taught me that), your thievery of my crackbacks hit close to the mark on her atrocious performance, but it didn’t quite land the dismissal of her ‘verbal septic tank of remarks’ from a seasoned professional as I am.

Senator Britt, it was like she was chosen to clean the dung from the elephant enclosure that was left to sit out in the hottest summer month. All the while she was convinced of it being a promotion. Either she’s naïve or she actually believes she’s a guide to the zoo’s most sought after attraction.

What a pitiful sight to behold Senator Britt. She doesn’t even realize she was given the task of shoveling shit. She was just told where the shit was, and if she got lost just to follow her nose. The stupid part she doesn’t realize is she got played! Now if she knows she got played that’s a different story. Then her ‘D’ list attempt at play acting won’t get her agent a lot of calls for her acting skills.

Listen to me really good now. I’ve lived a few decades and am encouraged by the change happening in tough journalists. Kudos to G. Stephanopoulos for driving home intelligent fierce questioning. Again you know me. I don’t allow my stomach to be turned in the presence of women that try to skate by on their looks. ‘Equality starts behind the face!’ Let me hammer it deeper down. ‘EQUALITY STARTS BEHIND YO FACE!’ Women. Do you get me now?

Yes, I’m going back to Afghanistan. When we were on ‘clips’ and my driver was female; she knew I do not cut slack. I’m here to fight as a team, do my duties in excellence, take care of my soldiers and maintain their skills, and go home to my family. Her ability to perform her job to standard is what I stressed to her and all females. So, to see United States Representative Nancy Mace attempt to play victim was harmed all women. As a man should do, George Stephanopoulos treated her like a ‘man’. Nancy Mace wanted to run with the ‘big dogs’, so she can’t cower when she got ‘GROWLED’ at, fool!

Okay, back to these ‘EVANDEVICALS’. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Saint John 16:1-3…These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me…

Put simply, all those so-called Christian Nationalists, and their ilk were never servants of God. I have always had deep doubts growing up as a child at my earliest stage of awareness. I just knew something wasn’t right. Whether my dad’s behavior along with the behavior of the people in the church we were forced to attend at every turn. I knew the power cord didn’t fit the outlet of God, metaphorically that is. It just never seemed to line up the things they said and the things they did.

That settles it. Now all my readers know I’m not your pastor, spiritual advisor, priest or deacon. I’m on a quest of knowledge. A spiritual journey for the truth while identifying all the stumbling blocks of charlatans along the way. Whether a politician claims priesthood or a priest claims political office. Either one of them or all of them doing evil you judge them according to God’s word. Not your word. God’s word while you’re 100% correct yourself. Not by what you say, but by an honest friend says it of you to your face!

Here’s the second and last thing for this post because I’m almost finished writing episode 4 of The Soul of Black Land and it’s good.

This is the job of a President of the United States. A President has to set the stage for all of us. Every citizen of America. It is not the job of the President to correct the mistakes or bad decisions of each and every American. If your life has turned out in ways that in your determination is failure, the fault lies with you! The President of the United States of America is not ‘YO’ Daddy!

Now, as usual, I’d like to share some personal history to be examined by everyone. I’ve been married 3 times and divorced 3 times. I’ve had a car repossessed. I’ve been kicked out of my 1^st wife’s’ home as such been homeless for a week. She came and took the car at my job as she was primary owner. I had to borrow a friend of mine’s car to get home and run some errands. I’ve been cash strapped (how Black folks describe broke). All that said here’s the ‘reformation’ that came after that.

I rejoined the Alabama National Guard. I was able to save $1000 to put down on a car in my name only. I moved back in with my mom and paid her $150 a month rent. The opportunity came around again for me to join the U.S. Army active again while called up by the second President Bush. I stayed on active service and finished my 20 years on Army Reserve. I’m 100% VA disabled. I’m about to finish my Masters in Addiction Counseling. I’m owning my own home.

I’m a Black man that appreciates a President that sets the table for everyone to succeed. That’s all I’ve ever asked for. That’s all I will agree to. Others living on more unfortunate circumstances may need more help than me. Any politician can go around hearing the sob story of every ‘hard leg’ (what we call men in the Army) and assign blame for their choices onto somebody else. Whoever the politician is, Republican or Democrat, that says your choices are not your fault in this ‘time period’ doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you!

I mean there were times in America’s recent history a few decades back that ‘White Men’ actively sought to keep America’s promise solely for themselves. Instances of that happening now should be scarce. Should be, but are not. America is racist but some are willing to change, as some will not (probably never will) which is why no one can succeed without removing unjust barriers of evil. I said I hope she makes good, so don’t jump on me for being right where discrimination is true.

Look, let’s face it. We all have about 40 good years of dynamic labor in all of us that are relatively free of physical restrictions. (I know, only my loyal landcause.com readers picked up on the ‘physical’ and not restrictions on the ‘mental’ part of humanity). We, Americans, should be helping and teaching each other to shunt our most productive period to goal attainment. Hey, that’s all I’m saying. Now, this is important too. Just as in therapy, in life a person has to be willing to know the difference of an offer of help and an offer of harm. It is still an individual responsibility to as God put it, ‘discern both good and evil by exercise of your senses’.

As I’ve always said and will always say. ‘When is it YO fault?’ I chose to ‘mine’(dig out the blessings bestowed upon me) the gifts of writing and storytelling. I chose to stop resisting the philosophical leanings in my nature and acquire a Bachelors in Philosophy. I chose to immerse myself in the science of mental disorders.

Listen. ‘REFORMATION’ is a process like assembling many ingredients to make a cake. All those ingredients by themselves cannot be called a ‘cake’. Once they are combined and the process of transformation is allowed to occur. A ‘cake’ is the result in time. Use your ‘time’ how you see fit, but don’t assign responsibility for your choices and their outcomes onto an elected official. If you don’t know how to make a ‘cake’ then learn, or go and ask somebody that knows to teach you.

Arise, and think not just of yourself when you leave the door of your home. Proclaim that and watch your life start to come into focus with ‘good’ energy.

ISSUE 19: The Lie Card Is Played Out

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Once is enough isn’t it? Old lies aren’t new to me. I’ve seen all of them before. How do you know you’ve seen them all you ask? My definition of a ‘lie’ is, ‘statements made to surround the edges of the truth that look for the slightest doubt in the veracity of the individual holding to it’.

So, that is all it takes. Weakness of the individual to the truth. For instance, take Republican United States Congressman James Comer of my adopted state of Kentucky and his overblown opinion of himself. This person thinks he is smarter than everybody else. It is easy to seduce a man like that with the simplest of lies because he looks for confirmation of his own beliefs. Notice I said he’s not looking for the truth.

Now what happens with that is these sorts of people try to draw in established and respected worldwide government agencies like the United Stated Federal Bureau of Investigation to give him cover. Psst, come closer to me. I don’t want anyone to overhear me say this to you. The FBI gets tired of their name being dragged through the gutter. Guilty by association with delusional small minded elected Republican officials. So the FBI can fight back.

I must say in this example the FBI’s tactic is brilliant. By opening an investigation on paper, the FD-1023, the FBI insulates their agents from the validity of what’s on that form. When somebody requests it, say an elected Republican United States Senator or Congressman, they can righteously say no one in the ‘Bureau’ believes what’s on that ‘paper’. You get where I’m going with this?

The FBI then just sits back and watches whoever wants to make a fool of himself do it. I’m sure you noticed that no agent said or will say what’s on that paper they believed. Never! Now you see how you can get back at somebody for ‘badmouthing’ you over and over again. Now Rep. Comer and all those Republicans rightfully look and sound like idiots!

To Georgia and the Governor Brian Kemp. Nothing gets my dander up more than using the death of another citizen for cheap political points. The death of that jogger in Georgia should be handled with grace and respect always mindful of those that loved and cherished her. Blaming President Joe Biden for her death is beneath the Governor’s fake country boy accent and his eagerness to sully his own name and reputation by doing it.

I’m curious, since the Governor of Georgia blamed the President, why didn’t he do it in the pulpit of his evil church and tell his congregation to go out and lynch him? I mean that’s what he’s reminiscing about when he co-opted the tragedy of the jogger’s death isn’t it? Why not just say it Governor Kemp? Just do like in olden times and lynch him. Cut off his privates. Hang them on the doors of the church along with his hands and feet.

Every time these Republicans try to take America back to a time when nobody had any rights but old White men I will be right here opposing them.

Now I will speak on the topic of women’s rights. Do a Google search and look up ‘help meet’ chapter and verse in the Holy Bible. I recommend the text of the Authorized King James version. Women, when you subjugate yourselves to men, you are telling men to treat you as inferior in every way to men. Why do you not understand that?

There is nowhere in the Holy Bible that says you’re the property of men. Why do you believe, women, that you have to debase yourself in order for men to feel unintimidated? For men to retain a false sense of preeminence over you? Get that through your long hair!

So, here’s the deal. When you’re not equal your needs are invalid. Invalid then means that you’re useful to men only as men see you. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Women, you have brought about this ‘onslaught’ of oppression against you by setting aside your needs for the needs of men.

Let me tell you again of my life’s story. I grew up in the projects of Tom Browne village in the Avondale community of Birmingham, Alabama. My dad was the only human being that mattered in his household. Key word there, his ‘household’. Everything flowed through and about him. We got what was left over if any. We were all malnourished. We were all punished when we realized his treatment of us was not based in scripture. We all felt some kind of way about him and it certainly wasn’t appreciation.

Family means everybody gets to share in the good and the difficulties. One person doesn’t get to eat and everybody else just stares at him. I knew it wasn’t right as a child just as I know treating women and girls as inferior is not scripture based. Heh, young men think feminism reduces their power over women! I’ll give you a few guesses what fostered that mindset. Although, I only think you’ll need one. I’ll give you the wrong answer. It wasn’t Black men.

The ‘legacy media’ of NBC, CBS, ABC and now FOX can no longer spues lies and half-truths without a challenge anymore!

I’ll end this post with something I think Republicans are coming after women for shortly. All women will have to ‘attest’ to how many babies they’ve had. Where they are. How many by different men. How many miscarriages they’ve had and did they inform the police of when and where these miscarriages took place. Will they use surrogates or invitro fertilization to get pregnant. Will the police be monitoring their pregnancies to see if they carried them to term. All this information will be passed on to Republican elected officials from the local level to the Federal Government.

Don’t believe me? Let me say it again. These Republicans ain’t playing with ‘CHOO’!

Issue 19: Self Determination Throughout the History of Earth

When World War I was concluded and the allies accepted ‘self-determination’ as probably the most important peace aim; it was United States President Woodrow Wilson that made it an essential part of his 14-point plan. This staunch commitment of course, not trying to gloss over the significance of it, led to the fracturing of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics into Baltic States. History is there for you to recount, so I’m not going to spend any more time on the decisions America’s leader at the time and leaders involved in the War rightfully executed.

This present day America, not all of us as some of us are though, are choosing to inflict mental suffering of the worse kind by forgetting history. Now I must be true to my name and reputation by presenting facts. Many folks ridiculed President Woodrow Wilson’s, but his consistency, his belief in self-determination you can say; laid the groundwork for the Baltic States of the old USSR to declare their independence! Even if it took them a few more decades to do so.

Now, in America, we still have majority rule, so tell me why the voices of those with pupils shining by the reflection of gold, would we allow them to bring us low. Yes, these people would sell us out to Russia if they got an extra pack of smokes in their lunch bucket. America’s society is rule based. I didn’t say America was perfect and no one can utter it truthfully. The right of ‘self-determination’ was championed by one of our Presidents for God sakes!

Now, I’m speaking to all citizens that possess the right to vote. Take a breath. Stop thinking only of your needs. Get back to the fundamentals that lay dormant in America for far too long. Sure, America has made incremental steps for truth and justice for 80 some odd years, but the apparatus of change has been started and unfortunately it is now idling. We will not go back to the righteous battles of the civil rights era fought against those who wished to prolong oppression.

So, when I see Donald Trump supporters displaying double-minded foolishness; it is clear to me that they believe they are not self-harming. A lie is a sin. Definition of sin as I understand it, ‘it is a doctrine of self-opposition in the face of behaving in truth, decency and order. It is also harmful to the mind and body as it infuses a destructive quality that is poisonous to spiritual and moral clarity’.

Read it for yourself in the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible in James Chapter 1 verse 8. Unstable is the antonym of stable!

Now contrast what President Joe Biden is doing. President Biden maintains the principle of self-determination in honor of President Woodrow Wilson. President Biden said he would champion policies, laws, and principles that make America greater for everybody! Isn’t that what a family does? A family cares for each other. No one in the household hoards all the attention. All the best things. Every resource to solve one individual’s problem. That’s not a fair home nor will I allow America to become that selfish!

Be careful America. Listening to people who have 2 answers to your question depending on who they like or dislike are people that are unstable. Look, 2 plus 2 is 4 period.

I will be exploring History not just for the electoral season, but I will be injecting History into everything I write. America is a nation in flux. As a matter of fact, no nation should believe that she is complete and finished. Vote in every election citizens as this great experiment America is counting on you. Vote that she, America, champions laws, tenets, policies, beliefs, that are decent and in order for all of us.

Not just for one race, or the wealthy, or White Supremacists, or con artists, but for all of us.

OUT IN BLACK

PODCAST

SUBJECT: A SERVANT YOU ARE NOT

Not one single race, creed, color, nationality or peoples have the right to be excused from what is right and what is wrong. Israel. Russia.

If I see my friend committing deeds and acts that will diminish his or her name I will never hesitate to tell them to their face, ‘you are wrong for that’.

When a person that is past the time where money orders every step that is a foolish person. What I mean is just because a person is rich or his money insulates him from the ‘winds of change’ that person is stupid.

If someone says they will not do business in New York again I would say, ‘Let me help you pack your things’.

Thoughts on the upcoming Presidential election. No matter how hard the ‘legacy media’ try to tie President Biden to Donald Trump. These two men are nowhere near alike.

Tell me something. President Biden rode a train to work every day. Why would a man do that and then suddenly take a bribe?

Why would President Biden think about serving others with laws and policies that clearly indicate that’s in the blood coursing through his veins?

Let me close this edition of out in black with this last point. Serving others isn’t a punishment. Letting someone in front of you for checkout because they have less is serving others. Allowing someone in traffic to cut in front of you is serving others.

If a friend calls you and wants to talk or vent you can listen, but you still have to stop them from destroying themselves when the conversation falls into madness.

Oh, one last thing. When everything looks dire, get up and do one more thing towards your goal. If it is just a story idea. If it is just getting your clothes ready for the next day. Preparing your lunch. Getting snacks ready for your family or yourself.

Sending out 10 to 25 email check in’s with your customers. Just one more thing when you are attacked or doubt tries to settle into bed with you. Yeah, push that doubt from under the covers onto the floor.

End you day with a short phrase of steadfastness.

Mine is, ‘Arise. Let us go. There is much work to finish’.

You can use mine or create your own.

Issue 15: When Protection is Harmful

The harvest is not where you should begin your schooling on where life begins. Let’s concede the given that the ‘Creator’ seeded his creation with what is good for life to flourish. Again my curiosity has gotten the best of me so come with me again on another time of discovery.

In the midst of vast fields of crops, each seed is still individually tasked with making it through each stage of growth. Why is that? Why not just have every seed joined together to prevent any one seed from failing in that objective? Because proof of life must be witnessed no matter where that life tends to journey after it is fully grown.

Now those that know my brand of philosophy, my faithful subscribers, know that for the sake of time it is understood that the ‘landwatchers’ or farmers as everyone says, has a critical role in supporting the life that is forcefully trying to become something greater. Yes, once the seed ‘dies’, meaning the shell that protected it, it must prove it has what it takes to seek out only what is necessary to sustain its life and grow. (By the way, ‘die’ means you are no longer what you were before. Hopefully what you wish to become will be better than what you were before.).

That state of being is inherently positive. Why? Because only life that is imbued with internal knowledge of what needs to happen can survive and grow. Now if a seed has sense enough to seek out that which is good for it. Why do human beings always falter in that endeavor?

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Saint John 12:24…Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit… Amazing how such a tiny seed can become a tall single shank capable of feeding multiple people. What I’ve always wondered about is, ‘why does the seed have to die in order to ‘produce’ what is contained within it?

This is when it hit me. This is good. A seed cannot be suppressed or oppressed by the ground surrounding it! What is inside that seed will bloom no matter what. That means what a human being holds in his or her head, LGBTQ+, is untouchable by the evil that lurks to deny it the freedom to transform and grow. Let me say that again plainly. No evil can tell somebody to do the wrong thing. It is that individual’s choice to err from the way that is transformative!

Protecting a child from books is harmful. Protecting a child from knowledge is harmful. Protecting a child stymies their growth. By all means train up a child properly as it is age appropriate, but to withhold knowledge or limit exposure keeps that child in ‘past tense’. Remember this. ‘Present tense’ becomes ‘past tense’ and time always wins.

Listen to me. I know I’m whistling pass the graveyard thinking the ‘legacy’ media will ever stop trying to let old people and young people off the hook for following people that are making fools of them. Please stop. Let me give you my definition of ‘delusion’. A ‘delusion’ is merely a false belief a person allows to take root in their mind while foolishly believing that God put it there.

So, the next story the ‘legacy’ media puts on about so-called Christians or Christian Nationalists just know they are just as responsible for inflicting them on us as those so-called churches where they worship their false Gods. I wish all of them would go ahead and say who they worship. I’d have a lot more respect for them. I’d still have pity for their choice and their ultimate destination.

Here’s a little hint. Haters aren’t allowed in Heaven. Door number two is the only other door that’s free, and you could push a planet through it. Careful though, your ice cubes will melt.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 56 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 12: To Gild and Cover

This word ‘gild’ is an anomaly. Why do I say that? Here’s my explanation. For centuries I imagine that those that possessed the power, White Men, to say what is reality and truth, done so factually wrong that it became common practice. ‘The Gilded Age’? What a croc of shit. Now the ‘gilded’ that we are constantly pounded with by our ‘legacy’ media of ABC, CBS, NBC and the newspapers that peddle this crap is called ‘reiteration’. Basically saying a thing over and over again until the people believe it.

Take Donald Trump and his ilk ‘coming at’ District Attorney Fani Willis with specious lies. Their hope was that as we call it in the military, ‘shining shit’, so people wouldn’t notice the stench overwhelming their noses. That’s how America created a lot of this false superiority that still lingers across the land. ‘White Supremacists’ believe they are responsible for the ‘greatness’ they perceive in America’s reputation.

Never bother that Native Americans, Black people, Colored people, Asians, Italians, poor people built this nation literally with their ‘hides’! Think about that for a minute. Imagine the mental strength that had to summoned. Shared and cultivated toward goals that didn’t just cover life itself, but instilling this mental power down through the generations to ‘bring to bear’ against the hatred of ‘White Supremacists’ and come out of it with your decency and honor intact!

That is what those alleged ‘common criminals’ in ‘Jaw-Ja’ and elsewhere would never understand even in the midst of their big ‘whiff’ turning themselves around in a tumble face planting in sheer humiliation. They never had a chance in connecting with their swing. Whatever they were swinging at I do not know. Diversity, equity, and inclusion is the new bogeyman of White Supremacists. Does anyone else see it? Look at history people. All the attacks, lies, and weaponization of the ‘law’ against those ‘out of power’ never brought these White Supremacists total victory!

Even a blatant demonic creation of ‘qualified immunity’ would never give White Supremacists the ability to totally sweep evil across this great land of America! ‘Come at me Bro’. This is a call to the enemies of Black people and they are fighting words in our community. You come at Black people you’d better come ‘right’!

That display of ‘theater’ in that courtroom down in Georgia, ‘Jaw-Ja’, was pathetic. That’s what I’ve always seen in Black women from the time of my birth. Let me reveal some observations that White people that believe Black folks are stupid, not all White folks, would never see. When DA Fani Willis walked in that courtroom I felt the energy. I wasn’t even there and I had to touch something to dissipate the static electricity from my body.

I’m seen that walk too many times. If I was in the courtroom I know my breathing would begin to labor because she would be drawing twice the air in the room in her lungs. I’ve enhanced my thoughts to literally see others thoughts by looking at her intensely hone and command her knowledge and thoughts to grab and imprison every word out of those defense lawyers mouths. The lies she knew were coming she destroyed. The insults she knew meant nothing the DA parried away like a samurai swordsman slicing through an inferior opponent.

Shit man, I wasn’t in the courtroom and I was intimidated. The kind of ‘intimidation’ I mean is the kind that you know ‘you’re the one in the wrong and your playbook is filled with trick plays that fools no one’. See, White Supremacists believe that a ‘false’ way of life established long ago when power rested in their bosom was eternal. See, no race was given dominion over another race. Let me say that again. ‘No race was given dominion over another race’. If you read the Holy Bible so-called Christians, human beings were given dominion over God’s creation. His Earth.

So, all this fighting about what race is superior or inferior is ‘specious’ to the point of nauseating. To conclude this ‘glided’ nonsense would take its’ origin back to that creation by the ones who held the power at the time to make the rules. White Supremacist set up many lies that they now know are being revealed and they are getting nervous. Nervous because these lies of ‘shit shining’ is making the people sick and they’re tired of the smell.

So, know this about God’s diverse creation and I’m talking about Black women in particular as I see it being a Black man. Again ‘HELP’ meet, means an equal partner capable of matching the efforts of a man. Those ‘efforts’ come in varying forms beyond simple physical strength idiots!

Trust me, I wouldn’t be the strong willed Black man harvesting the ‘gifts’ I’ve been given if it weren’t for many strong and resilient Black women. So when you come at Black women who’ve honed their mental abilities; don’t be surprised that every blow, every attack. Every part of their armor that you search for a weak point. Know that it is expertly defended. Just think again before you ‘go at them’ home boy and home girl. Okay, think again!

‘Specious’? That attack by the lawyers representing Donald Trump and his ilk wasn’t worth the ‘time of day’. Yeah, I know. Older Black folk know that saying. I’ve even dismissed a lot of riff raff with it.

So, just to be clear. The questioning of DA Fani Willis wasn’t ‘plausible’ because there was nothing there to benefit a prosecuting attorney. ‘Superficial’ it was abundantly evident. How you come at a District Attorney with an allegation that a State of ‘Jaw-Ja’ employee is benefitting from another State of ‘Jaw-Ja’ employee? That’s the bombshell evidence that there is a conflict of interest? Are you serious?

Americans, do you see why they think you all are stupid? Republicans will keep running their White Supremacist playbook until you stop giving them a platform to spew it from. Vote for the people that actually believe you know what is good for you. How do you know that Democrats will abide by the results?

Recent history has shown you. I mean just that. Recent history.

If my readers aren’t currently tuned into the Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis testimony you’ve got to tune in now. Look at this Black woman and learn something if you’re ever going to be confronted by idiots running and hiding their hands after they throw rocks at you.

I told you before, that’s the same lame ass game they are trying to run against President Joe Biden. All those clowns running from their choice to engage in criminal behavior with Donald Trump; they’re trying their best to deflect and detract from their own stupidity.

Here’s a little advice to anyone thinking of committing a crime because you think someone will protect you. You go to jail because you do something. Don’t go to jail claiming ignorance of the law. You played yourself!

Anyway, take note and do what DA Fani Willis is doing right now at 16:09 on Thursday February 15, 2024. Come for me you better have your sights lined up and you’re a dead shot. If not just take it like a man!

Article 9: What’s That Saying About Envy?

Ah, green with envy. Envy over the praise and admiration heaped upon others that have done the work to earn the praise they get. Here’s my take on that so-called Special Counsel Robert Hur. Mr. Hur strikes me as a man that on paper was listed as the third string back up to the ‘practice dummy’ because the water boy position was filled.

This Special Counsel, Mr. Hur, by the nature and tone of the ‘report’ he submitted allowed us a glimpse into his mind. Not the mind of President Joe Biden. Mr. Hur displays his own shortcomings. Mr. Hur is a man abounding in notoriety with a misbelief that it casts a positive shadow upon his life. Why else would a man activate an unimaginative and impotent attempt to find fault with a great man like President Joe Biden.

I believe Mr. Hur knows that President Joe Biden’s unleashed an economic firestorm that hasn’t even begun to fully blossom over the fortunes of America’s foreseeable future. The Chips and Science Act will insulate our Defense Industry from dependence on critical components for our national protection. Infrastructure will guarantee our survival from extinction spanning natural to manmade disasters. President Joe Biden has done more than champion causes for the greater good. President Joe Biden has shown, not just with words, but with his acts he believes in America and fights to give her everything she needs to win on every level. No matter what!

What has this little man so-called Special Counsel Robert Hur done with his life that compares to the kind of life President Joe Biden has lived? Tell me something Mr. Hur has done that has helped Americans on a grand scale? The floor is open to anybody with anything to say. Leave a comment or shoot me an email at vemoseley@landcause.com and I’ll verify it and place it in my next article.

So, that’s how I was taught in the Black community to respond to somebody talking out-of-turn. Oh, by the way, when somebody starts talking about your looks, or laughing at your clothes, makeup or how you talk, that’s a ‘tell’. A ‘tell’ that means what you’ve accomplished in life has them boiling mad because they couldn’t do it in a million years.

Just telling you how we handle somebody acting like they ‘one upped’ you with that weak ass game they running.

Oh, my bad, didn’t mean to go hood on you.

THE SOUL OF BLACK LAND

Season One:

Episode Three: A Hard Man or a Man Fit to Endure Hardness?

Prologue:

(Dashurai has a few weeks under his belt now. Man he would like to. He is pushing to know more. Dashurai knows that what he doesn’t know is waiting for him in the new territories. ‘SHOSHONE’ lands I heard haven’t even been plotted he remembered overhearing the White men speak about. Dashurai knows he is just as much a dreamer and future thief because he wants a piece of this land for himself. A land in which he didn’t have a choice to journey to, but he is here now and that’s it.

Dashurai is more careful now to catch his tendency to daydream about that future that he wants. He recalls a memory from his mother in those waking moments. A vision that his mother is running towards him with a look of disappointment on her face. Dashurai laughs to himself as he knows what this vision means because it seems to be a recurring event. An open handed slap that he knows will land across the left side of his head and face will knock him back to the moment. Dashurai says to himself every time this happens, ‘Thank you Ma’Rai’.

Enduring the times means not just living in them, but turning them to what they could be as the life you want for yourself. The Gods know Dashurai misses his mother. Her council kept at bay all the evil that swooped, swirled, dived down from the sky and up from the dark. Dashurai is responsible now. Dashurai, he says to himself, ‘must be strong of mind to scare off those forces of evil and despair.

Dashurai will always face this battle. This battle for his soul knowing he must win it. His thoughts begin to turn to helping others with their fears and uncertainty. ‘I know I am strongest now’, Dashurai says. I will help those who need help until they can fend for themselves as my Ma’Rai admonished me.

The truth Dashurai tells himself now is this, ‘there will not come a day of relief of that burden for me’. All those long days as a child before fortune found him. Before Ma Rai said ‘You will have a glorious life John’. ‘That is how it should be’, he says, ‘because strength of will must be used because strength itself has decided on him’. Time now to locate that trail. Time to endure on.).

Dashurai: (The wagon train has reached the edge of SHOSHONE territory. The first town, in the middle of this land grab, is perhaps a few days ride still. Let’s get on with it.). I’ve got to meet with the men to gather their thoughts on who is going to go further than the town we should hit in the coming days. (Dashurai is standing behind some trees discussing what are the next steps with Cleavur and Lissqui.).

Cleavur: Dashurai (John) I know your men are uncertain about what comes after this wagon train.

Dashurai: Wait, all ‘my’ men exist in a world that will never if that day ever comes, treat them like equal men. Are you telling me you don’t know what kind of ‘men’ I’m driving on this little trip?

Cleavur: None of them are truly free men. Don’t you know that?

Lissqui: Cleavur, we started this journey looking for different days than all those same days we’ve been living for over 2 decades now. You are the one that said we ‘need’ a change. Something that opens us up to testing our skills beyond what you and I think of each other. Cleavur, didn’t you say that testing our ‘wits’ only in our circle won’t prove anything until the circle is broken.

Cleavur: I know that!

Lissqui: No, that is all it is. Shit kicking it on a plantation with slaves who may I say won’t be slaves forever. Don’t look so shocked Cleavur. Even you remember all the stories we had to sit through from our father about Moses in the Bible. Our father was as stupid as all the rest of those dumbass bastards visiting him smelling like stale booze and week old outhouse.

Cleavur: My sister. Always talking out of turn. I must say your ‘mouth’ is cutting.

Lissqui: What? You think your little sister trusts her brother with her life? You really believe anybody associated with slavery is trustworthy to me? My future? I suggest you start thinking a little bit quicker and stop saying you already have because you sound stupid.

Dashurai: She’s right Cleavur. We all made a pact to receive counsel from each other. It seems Lissqui is keeping up with us step for step, and might even be running pass one of us in the ‘thanking’ area.

Cleavur: Oh, so I need to take a look around and realize where I am right? Maybe I’ve been talking to Mr. Vaterborne a little too much. His air of superiority seems to have my clothes smelling like stale booze and week old outhouse. Let alone the ease to which he’s had the run of things.

Dashurai: You’re thinking better just that quickly I see. Remember what you said Cleavur. You said, ‘We’re not riding out to a new life looking across at country bumpkins’. Isn’t that what you said?

Cleavur: Yes I did.

Dashurai: C’mon then man, do I need to look after you?

Cleavur: No. No. You two have the point now. I got to be alert when I’m not pulling my weight. Let the one who has a better handle on the situation in front of us take the lead. I know that. I got it. Apologies.

Lissqui: Step it up brother. We are all we have. Are you with us now?

Cleavur: Yes, I am with you now.

Dashurai: Okay, I’m going to meet with the other colored men and figure out who is going farther beyond the first town if a lot of the southerners decide to put down roots there. I’ll let you both know how many.

Lissqui: Good Dash, I’ll figure out what’s there in this town when we get to it. From what troubles they have with the Natives, good and bad, and what that means to supplies and riders coming through.

Cleavur: While you do that I’ll figure out if the wealthy with money are going to stay or keep traveling westward. If some do I’ll let you both know so we can decide to stay put or move on with them.

Dashurai: I think we have a plan.

—————————–On That Trail————————————

(Dashurai is meeting with the colored security to gauge what their plans are. Would they stay in this town or move on with the wagon train. Dashurai knows he needs to open a new frontier. A new frontier out West and also a frontier of his choosing now that he knows he will have to fight, literally and figuratively, for his freedom to remain his. Ahuudo has proven himself worthy of his help. Dashurai knows what helping another former slave in these cruel times means. ‘FOE WITH RIGHT’, that phrase he will use the rest of his days keeps his feet solidly on the ground. Ma’Rai told this to her son to speak. Speak a phrase that will swiftly get your head back on straight when you feel yourself being pulled into the world of the slave masters.

Ma’Rai said, ‘Don’t just do something because somebody has done it to you. Believe in what’s right, or you will be subject to the same judgment as them’. Dashurai has seen what slave masters do to their ‘property’ and he wonders when will this judgment come that his mother so softly spoke about. Dashurai falls into a space and time he remembers as ‘a time of imagination’. The stories his mother told him are what holds him in a captive audience. Stories that took his mind off the horrors happening in a country that said it was native after ‘God’s own heart’. Surely, this was as true as a slave master paying wagers or treating his slaves with dignity.

Dashurai remembers the stories word for word from his mother. Maybe Ahuudo will be able to save his woman, or maybe he will go back there and find her dead or worse sold to another slave master. Dashurai doesn’t have much hope in the first thought being true, but he does hope Ahuudo finds his woman wherever she is. ‘Don’t doubt ‘First Father’ John (Dashurai)’, his mother would say repeatedly. You must always believe in joy being alive in someone. When you find it just try to keep it alive, even if you never have joy for yourself.

Dashurai says, my Ma’Rai, never one to doubt her ‘First Father’.)

Ahuudo: Dashurai, is this the end of our job?

Dashurai: I don’t know if it’s the end for all the settlers. Maybe some will continue on West as far as they can. I heard there is a sea out there where the land ends too.

Ahuudo: Well, where there’s water there will be people or settlers as you say. This is as far as I can ride with you brother.

Dashurai: (Dashurai is stunned at the sound of that word directed towards him. He isn’t sure if he’s ready to call Ahuudo brother, but he is certain about helping him get his woman.). You have supported me like a brother Ahuudo and I thank you for that. Listen, I know your heart is clear on what you must do in short order, but let’s stay with the wagon train until we reach the town ahead, then I’ll take leave of my arrangement with Mr. Cleavur and Ms. Lissqui and help you get your woman.

Ahuudo: You want to help me do that. Why?

Dashurai: You had colored people you didn’t know help you stay alive I’m sure. What I can tell that a strong will comes at people when they’re around you, so I know you never took much if any mess from the White man.

Ahuudo: That you are right about.

Dashurai: (Now those skills are coming into play.). I got it brother. My reasons for helping you are the same, but I don’t go on posse rides. We are not the law. My help comes with conditions.

Ahuudo: What are conditions?

Dashurai: One condition is I don’t go anywhere to die, so if you’re just looking to go back there swinging at anybody that gets in your way I’m telling you now you don’t need my help.

Ahuudo: That sounds like what I had in mind. I want to hear more of your conditions.

Dashurai: (Stunned again by Ahuudo’s relaxing anger Dashurai continues his conditions.). In order to ‘get’ your woman back in one piece we need to know the people we might face when we locate her. Meaning how many hired hands this slave master his in his employ. When we know that we can create a strategy to get her out of there.

Ahuudo: You want to know where I last seen her and what is the slave master like?

Dashurai: Right. Then we can see if the two of us will be enough, or do we need to hire more help to get your woman back.

Ahuudo: I can tell you what I know.

Dashurai: Good, I’ll write it down then.

Ahuudo: You can write?

Dashurai: I can and I will teach you and whoever else wants to learn. I mean if they come with us when we go back to get her.

Ahuudo: Much I will owe you. Much that I cannot repay Dashurai.

Dashurai: I don’t like hearing you say that. Owing me money. I swore an oath. I made a promise to Ma’Rai. She told me this. ‘When you find joy in the heart of someone. Someone that loves and is loved. Just do your best to keep it alive’. I’ve earned money and will always earn money, but I don’t need money sometimes. Sometimes I need to be around joy and happiness. I need to see it for myself to know it is still in this world.

Ahuudo: Thank you brother.

————————–The Quest for Joy—————————-

(It is decided that Dashurai, Ahuudo, Cleavur and 8 of the colored men will travel back down South to help with this task. Dashurai has learned the name by which Ahuudo calls his woman. ‘Syghi’ pronounced ‘Sigh Gee’. What does it means Dashurai asks Ahuudo? It means to be blessed by the presence of her soulful beauty.

That is a good name to be called upon to read stories to children. I wonder does Ahuudo plan to have children. Well it’s none of my business if they want to have children. In any case a lot happened when they reached the town of ‘Stakeville’. I guess that was a play on words that meant to be a joke to the natives. Not a very funny one Dashurai thinks when you consider this is a continual trend. Stealing land by law and deception must be a way of life for this new country.).

Cleavur: (During a planned stop before crossing into the deep South. Cleavur and Dashurai discuss their plan with Ahuudo and the 8 other colored men that decided to come along on this little ‘rescue’ quest.). Ahuudo, I’ve got to have solid information on who this plantation owner is before I approach him offering to buy some of his slaves.

Ahuudo: He is your typical slave owner. Most think they’re right by White. He the White man. He makes the rules. Therefore as the White man rules everyone else obeys. That’s it. I wish I could offer a more clear picture for you.

Dashurai: (Dashurai is pleased for Ahuudo. Ahuudo is a quick learner which tracks what Dashurai always thought. Colored folks are just as smart as anybody else.). Good Ahuudo. We can use that. We can play to this White man’s ego.

Ahuudo: What happens when he says no?

Dashurai: Be ready to act, but act in a smart way. Don’t just look to kill or maim. A tool that could be just as effective is putting the fear of getting hurt or killed in a ‘master’s head’. (Dashurai sees the look of confusion on Ahuudo so he explains what he means by putting the fear of God in someone’s head). Scary moments are there for us to use too Ahuudo.

Ahuudo: Oh, I think I’m beginning to understand. Like when they threaten us with the whip or the gun. Whatever they can use to ‘harm’ us you say?

Dashurai: Right. In order for us to turn the fortunes to our favor we got to take some things back from them they’ve always had.

Ahuudo: What’s that?

Dashurai: Their absolute power of life and death over our lives. Think on it if you must, but now is not the time to waste on what was taken or lost. We got to narrowly focus on the simple task before us. We focus on getting Syghi back by price first. If that doesn’t sway Mr., what is the name of the slave master?

Ahuudo: Joseph Sceaturnds. I think he says it this way. ‘Sea’turns’, like the water moved to brings waves of fortune to the steps of his plantation. Yeah, that look, he fashions himself to be a religious man.

Dashurai: Good, good. We can use that. Look bro, this might be destined to get violent and messy, but I need you to keep your cool in the middle of it. I mean. Don’t get too emotional until after it’s over. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?

Ahuudo: Yeah, don’t have eyes in the bedroom until the ‘front porch’ is built.

Dashurai: What? Where did that saying come from?

Ahuudo: It came from Ja’Nee. My mother, she said it. She told me, repeatedly, ‘Before you can have a home, you got to know where you will stand when looking out at the world’. I just made it simple. The ‘Front Porch’.

Dashurai: It is true then. ‘A man has to know on what ground he will stand, good or bad, so when the rain comes the water doesn’t wash him away along with the rest of the dirt’.

Ahuudo: Ah, dirt. I know ‘dirty’ is what we are about to get.

Epilogue:

(Dashurai, Cleavur, and Ahuudo are shaping up to be quite a posse. Well the Gods know that any posse has to have a leader and a follower or two. This group of freed or former slaves with the help of a White ‘Devil’, just a saying, will know what real consequence and choices come with bucking the system.

Ahuudo is aware of the trouble he has chosen. He is not shaken by the consequences that will follow, but he hopes his woman, Syghi, will come the distance with him. What then? Ahuudo asks himself this question again and again. What will we go to or have from here? We don’t have a home of any kind. We don’t know of the ways of life beyond going out and scrapping for a money off the sweat of our brow.

How will we make a life for ourselves? All we know how to do is get out there in the field and work all the day long. Maybe, Ahuudo pauses his thoughts for a long moment, just maybe that will be enough to get us to the other side.

The other side of what he says to himself?).

Issue 14: Resist the Call of Nothing

It is a peculiar people that can throw massive amounts of ignorance and claim it is for the greater good. It has to be clarified and then articulated to an audience that sometimes forgets the discussion matters because decisions are coming as soon as the debate concludes. Methods are important. Why? Methods are a means to uncover evidence of destructive plots. Evidence must be present to discern intentions. Something cannot be called good or evil if evidence to the such either way is not present.

For instance, recently there are many voices alluding to the notion that America would serve an evil man. All of you know how I feel about the legacy media of ABC, CBS and NBC. NBC just came out with a poll of their own stating that America just loved what Donald Trump did as President and desperately wants him back. Evidence. That’s why methods matter. Methods give you avenues of approach to fight injustice and frankly outright lies!

Nothing (indifference to moving in the right direction for the good of all) is and has always been a dangerous approach to confronting matters that threaten the conscience of a people. I’ll explain myself. When I joined the United States Army at age 17 with the blessing of my mother; I didn’t understand the awesome design of ‘standing in the breach’. Imagine a lone soldier left standing bracing himself or herself for the impact, the crashing of forces purposely bent on destroying a nation. Wind sweeping about challenging the clear vision of the eyes.

The soldier in battle stance prepared to parry deadly blows with fierce counter strikes valiantly believing in the virtues of the nation that chose him or her to defend it. Here’s what I’ve concluded about what my service meant to my country. All of us who have served in whatever capacity for America bought her each ‘day’ of her life. Military families and government officials have chosen ‘sacrifice’ over the joy of spending precious time with the people they love. That’s why the ‘brotherhood’ and the ‘sisterhood’ of arms becomes our extended family.

So when I hear or see a blatant attempt to influence the Presidential election with lies with wisdom and methods must I lead my approach in response. If I don’t, then truth cannot calmly and softly drown out those lies. President Joe Biden with the record he’s amassed to set off this economic boom is there in empirical data! When you put it up against with what Donald Trump did in office there isn’t a competition about whose numbers are better. Period!

When I see the attempts by the legacy media to sway the American voting public with a reality that never existed, I must use proven methods to tell the truth. Don’t fall for the ‘rope a dope’. The ‘I – ite’. The ‘Flip the script’ all for a twisted agenda to keep poor people oppressed and America constantly in a doom loop.

What did I tell you about wages and oppression? Wages went up and the economy went up as well under President Joe Biden didn’t it? Don’t buy the evil from these so-called Christians telling you to stay poor in order for the rich man to stay wealthy. I still can’t believe Americans bought that ‘crap’ for decades. Malachi 3:5 has said it for centuries!

Americans of good conscience please stay engaged in the political process. Don’t fall for the ‘bait and switch’ of reality with a fantasy. We all saw what Donald Trump did with our own eyes. Stay calm and stay on target. Donald Trump must never be given dominion over us again! None of you would allow a sordid man such as Donald Trump to roam freely in your home. Judge President Joe Biden on what he’s done in office in totality.

Donald Trump chose to burn the ‘wheat’ and store the ‘tares’ in his barn. More to follow. Keep attuned my loyal readers.

MENTAL HEALTH: EQUAL HEALTH

Mental Health: Equal Health

Issue 5: Injuries Beneath the Skin

The surface layer is what everyone sees. On the surface there are some among us that can ascertain the level of damage or damages afflicting a person before a word is spoken. Although most people that may be able to do that are understood to have a prior relationship with the person in mental anguish. Highly skilled individuals, untrained or trained, can validate, assess mental distress thresholds, and call upon solutions or prescribe psychological reparative techniques to stem temporarily the onslaught of pain until a more detailed diagnosis can be made and performed.

There is something simple I’ve been doing to myself for many years and I’ve just come to realize the destructive effects of this thought pattern of mine to judge the life around me. I questioned myself, you can say harshly in the commissary one day as I was browsing the produce isle. Why was I looking for the imperfections on or in the fruit I would purchase to eat? Then it hit me. A cascade of why, over many decades, was I searching for imperfections in people, places and things?

Before you draw conclusions of agreement let me elaborate why this thought process I believe has been sabotaging my life for many years. It wasn’t the fruit, the things or the people I’ve met and had relationships. It was a mindset formed by influence and more importantly buy in from me. It is the thought of having less ‘flaws’ than others which would make me more acceptable to others and by deduction to myself.

Some examples that were a rapid fire of ‘flaws’ about me that others gleefully pointed out. They said I had a water head. They said my teeth were crooked. They said I was skinny. They said I talked ‘White’. They said I was poor. I won’t go on because you get the point. This constant process of judgment did take a toll on me as I obviously had to expend mental energy to combat it to reach any positive outcome in my day to day life.

What I didn’t realize was it was penetrating my body. Beneath the layer of my mind, my skin, it was laying mines (metaphorical mines) that would allow ‘anyone’ in the world that touched them to set them off, in my mind! I’m not going to go too in-depth because you get the picture. For a long time I walked the Earth like that until I realized that sort of thinking was corrupting my own judgment of the world. The people, places and things granted by the creator to enjoy. So, through a process known as ‘re-editing’ or scene editing I changed my thinking.

As I started to put one of the apples back a realization hit me. Why must the apple be perfect? Why? What about that perceived imperfection tells me it will not be beneficial to the body? The stupidity of those thoughts and beliefs just caused a cascade of improper exclusionary motivations to suddenly be ejected from my mind.

Watch what your mind seeks to contain (hold in reserve). I finally had my answers. I began to identify what negative judgments I had, and the ‘ground’ they covered. Where they sprouted to a harvest of ignorance in me, and I began to separate the ‘wheat’ from the ‘tares’. For those that do not know ‘tares’ are ‘weeds’ growing between the goodness about you. Of a truth, for this post I am claiming good ground upon which others sowed their ‘tares’ on me. I’m also concluding that all of us start on ‘good’ ground until we are sprinkled upon with the ‘seeds’ the world has to offer. We do, and I repeat we do, get to determine what is good for us. Don’t get it twisted. It is ultimately what you want in your life that matters.

Spiritually, I stress is the intent of the paragraph above.

Now to our hands on exercise. Let me ask you something. Do you know the feeling of being pulled down? Do you know the feeling of being lifted up? Can you tell the difference between those two sensations?

I’m going to get political about the Presidential race. Is there really a confusion about which of these two men are offering to help us up or pull us down?

Donald Trump is offering to steal, kill, and destroy. Donald Trump hates women. Donald Trump hates immigrants as he has called them rapists. Donald Trump hates Muslims. The tax breaks Donald Trump gave went to the rich. Donald Trump himself said he ended abortion healthcare in America.

President Joe Biden has cancelled student loan debt for a lot of people. President Joe Biden has fought for higher wages even walking a picket line. President Joe Biden has went all in on America with manufacturing. President Joe Biden has reinvigorated our Chips and Science Industry. President Joe Biden has passed infrastructure. President Joe Biden got us out of Afghanistan. President Joe Biden has lowered the cost of some prescription drugs.

There is no confusion about which of these two men are offering good things or evil things. People, go back to your roots. What happened to anybody can talk a good game? It matters what you do when you’re on the field and the clock has started. Did you prepare ahead of the game or you just playing by the seat of your pants?

We know who will win on the field of play between those two opponents? President Joe Biden because he came prepared to play on the field. I don’t give a crap if President Joe Biden was 900 years old. Look at the results! Don’t let somebody fool you again.

Ask the Republicans what do they have to offer to keep this ‘boom’ time going? I think you know what they’ll say. Tax cuts for the rich. Lowering wages for the middle class because they think you don’t deserve what you’ve worked hard for (I’ll seen for nearly 41 years people work until they almost drop dead on the job, and the job still want them to come to work the next day)!

‘Do it, then talk’. I guess President Joe Biden isn’t much of a talker. I guess we got to talk for him because he’s done what he said he would do. Give me ‘old man’ President Joe Biden any day over these clowns trying to just say he’s old like Nikki Haley does all the time. Say the rest too. Say what he’s done then tell us you can do it too.

Psst, come closer. Nikki Haley couldn’t do what President Joe Biden has done if God himself gave her the wisdom and the know how in ‘Cliff Notes’.

Issue 18: A Savior Won’t Do

There seems to be a never ending stream of ignorant men willing to be humiliated. These men try their level best to befuddle those they believe are less intelligent than they are. For instance, Charlie Kirk along with the ‘conservative’ political party now believe that ‘diversity’ amongst humanity is a curse causing every problem in America. The airplane manufacturers can pinpoint their issues right back to hiring minorities. Wow. Problem solved. Thank you Mr. Charlie Kirk, Republicans, conservatives and yes evangelicals alike. You’ve made us safer already.

Oh, I’m curious about one thing though. If only White men could guarantee that every airplane is manufactured to the highest standard, ensuring no airplane would ever crash or have mechanical issues. Tell me, why were there over 80 thousand fatalities in over 11 thousand incidents involving aviation since 1970?

Crickets. Oh no, you started this. There is no cry of ‘uncle’ accepted now. Since we’re talking about how great America was when ‘White’ men ran it all what happened with slavery? White men of superior intelligence would’ve prevented the defeat and destruction of their evil empire right? Why did slavery all come crashing down? Why is all that’s left of their ‘lost cause’ is a bunch of descendants from inbred buffoons worshipping at the statues of their defeated heroes?

I know a White man should’ve come up with the calculations of the moon landing, or the flight path in space. I’ll tell you since it’s eating you up. Ms. Katherine Johnson thought it up. White men should’ve shut down the National Aeronautics Space Administration, NASA, when a White man could not be found to ‘math it out’.

I’m certain all the innovations, inventions, discoveries, legal expertise, athletic, spiritual, literature and all areas that Black people have contributed to the growth of America can be explained away. Just let White Conservative men say, ‘White men would’ve eventually thought of it’.

I can see it now. Jesse Owens didn’t have to win all those Olympic Gold Medals at the 1936 games in Berlin, Germany. A White man could’ve would’ve should’ve done the same.

Everybody. Listen to me. If your heart is confused it’s in a dangerous place. Just ask the January 6 rioters at the United States Capitol in 2021 where they ended up because of it? Only evil sows confusion. The First Father’s creation strikes fear in the ‘Creator’s’ heart itself! No? Check out Genesis Chapter 11. Humanity was about to build a tower to reach the gates of Heaven itself!

Isn’t that ridiculous? Now that America is bringing to bear all her resources to face a world of opportunity and adversity; there are people working against her, inside her own house! I will say again until it’s time to vote and beyond. Do not vote Republican or support these so-called conservatives. These White men, conservatives, look to diminish the wrongs committed by them when they had sole power. While at the same time they want to critique every act or decision by those that don’t look like them.

My conclusion is sure. Republicans are looking for a ‘Savior’. The sad pathetic truth is that they never found a spiritual man. They have always found a ‘Demon’ to lead them. Donald Trump is their latest iteration in a long tried and true practice.

Okay, let’s not end on a dire note. Republicans and conservatives show you who they are every day. Make the right choice people. America is on a glorious journey. Think about it. Scary isn’t it? The good we can do when we work together. Let’s keep it going with President Joe Biden at the helm.

Be well.

GIVE ME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION

Give Me That Ole Time Religion?

ISSUE 18: Take Them Back!

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

As promised this is the second part of my post about what we’ve given away, rights, that were hard earned through struggle. In ‘America the Reroute’ I pointed this out clearly as I’ve lived through many of the laws that were in their infancy as I was when they became law. The Civil Rights Act. The Voting Rights act. I was 6 years old when Roe v. Wade was decided by the United States Supreme Court in favor of women’s’ rights.

I’m just ecstatic about doing the video which will be quite entertaining. I hope my words are just as moving to all. First I must give the honor and glory to my ancestors, Black folk, of these lands that endured slavery. With resilience and tenacity, Black folk, they gave freely of their spiritual energy to ensure I could have a life and have it more abundantly.

Now where do you say the rights I gave away after they were so hard won are located? The rights you seek are located in a building paid for by everyone’s tax dollars. Use whatever term you want to call it. I can see you’re asking how this happened? The energy is crackling in all directions from your disdain of losing them so easily. Well, corral that energy because what you gave away, your rights, can be retrieved once again.

Stop believing the metaphysical element of ‘time’ will correct all what you believe to be wrong in your favor. Let me be clear. ‘Universal rights’ means rights that apply to all living beings. The right to not be ‘oppressed’ in wages. The right to not be subjected to ‘gun violence’. The right to ‘bodily autonomy’ for women and pregnant people where abortion healthcare is concerned. The right to demand elected Federal officials craft a law to humanely deal with ‘immigration’ because we all are ‘SQUATTERS’ or the descendants of ‘SQUATTERS’ in America.

Would God tolerate in his Heaven an intolerable soul? No please, answer the question. Would God tolerate in his Heaven an intolerable soul? See, I’m not one of those that fell for that part of the vows that people take in marriage. To tolerate a person who is intransigent. To tolerate a person to the point of exhaustion to fulfill a man-made tenet of love and devotion to another person defeats the entire union of two souls. How can any endeavor undertaken by two people be righteous if the other person has no intention of doing what is right towards the other person?

By the way, the answer to the question whether God would tolerate an intolerable soul is found in Saint Luke 10:18. Tolerating a man like Donald Trump is you basically saying nothing is decent and nothing can be in order. I watched this JP Morgan guy say the Democrats should stop speaking of the MAGA faithful in such derogatory terms. Also I saw this one clip of an elderly White lady talking about Donald Trump as if her throwing forgiveness upon him would somehow change who Donald Trump is.

Listen to me clearly. The JP Morgan guy is wealthy and his declaration is based on his belief that his money insulates him from the ‘steal, kill, and destroy nature’ of evil and ignorant men. The elderly White lady is a product of her conditioning. She believes her race has the first and final say and everybody else are where they are because of their ‘stereotypes-of-the-others’ she has internalized.

Those two mentalities are frankly the result of many factors. Some of them honed by the ‘Legacy Media’ namely ABC, CBS, and NBC. Along with various newspapers and magazines that have always demonized Black, Brown, Jews, Asians and poor White people. I hope to someday have the honor of my face being ‘darkened’ even more to look more frightening.

I can’t hold back. I’ve seen people of all walks of life from Blacks to Whites to Asians, Hispanics just work until they literally almost die on the job. Yet as I’ve said before you’ve still got Republicans spewing trash talk about these good people not working and looking for a handout. What did you say again? Republicans were an honest political party? What a ludicrous statement!

Republicans ain’t playing with ‘CHOO’ (that’s slang for ‘YOU’)! I’m about finished. Just bear with me for a few more lines. I’m going to get theatrical with a lot of props. Enjoy yourself, but don’t forget while I’m making my points with ‘theatrics’ that these are serious matters that require you to act upon them.

Enjoy.

Issue 17: He Giveth That Which Hath Life Away

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Saint Matthew 7:6…Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

I just had to spell out the point of this post before I give my thoughts on what freedom, rights, and liberty were before they were foolishly given away to the very people who oppress us every chance they get. You guessed who I’m talking about. The Republicans.

It’s quite simple. The technique by which it was done that is. When you have a deep history of slavery, which is the evil oppression of human beings, and a delusional perception of your position in the world. White slavers and those looking to stay in their good graces in order to be one level ahead of the oppressed. These seemingly aligned forces created the system and fanned the flames of doctrine that made it so easy to strip everybody’s rights away in the name of saving the best rewards of the ‘republic’ for themselves.

I mean it’s shockingly simple. Tell White women it is in their best interest that White men must be their masters even though that declaration contradicts the equal authority of women as ‘help meet’ so stated by the Holy Bible. This mental complex created a sense that was then carried along the currents of the wind for centuries all in the belief that they, White men, had the best interest of all in their hearts. Ingenious in its construction isn’t it?

When this doctrine was firmly entrenched; all that needed to be done was an emphatic repetition of it until a mind believes it as normal. There you have it. Set up a thought process whereby spiritual truths are subverted by carnal truths.

Do I need to tell you which one is supreme? Okay you know. I was just asking. Remember this now my offer to inform you about what should be believed first still stands. The spiritual or the carnal. Just saying, I’m here to tell you.

Moving on. The Republicans didn’t take any of your rights away from you. You freely gave them away.

‘Security is freedom! Freedom without certain fought for and held fast tenets is just like an empty box. No matter how many times you go to open the box it will always be empty. Whether you set it down or place the box on a shelf above your head. Emptiness is what it represents just like freedom cannot be empty. Freedom holds all you deem precious. Life, liberty, and rights!’

The broadcast I’ve attached to the bottom of this post is the first half of my kickoff to 2024.

Advertisers are coming! So support them as much as you can when they appear on the site.

I don’t want to spoil the fun. Just watch the video and make whatever decision you want, but know that your decisions will manifest realities in your life.

Issue 30: Indeed: What is Taught?

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

When I meet somebody new whether it is in person or it is assessing a politician appearing on my television screen; I’m about giving that person a fair handshake to symbolize my aversion to snap judgments. Usually snap judgments are wrong and I’ll tell you why I believe that. Judging someone based on their membership in an organization is childish. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 4:23…Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

It is not the human beings some calling them ‘migrants’ which those evil folks among us use the second definition of the word. Yeah, the second definition calls them ‘animals’. It is not a female politician who was a governor of the State of South Carolina conveniently forgetting slavery was the horror they wanted to preserve forever. It is not an orange haired man that good people wouldn’t invite to their home in fear he would hit on their wives. It is the blatantly clear choice of Republican officials and Republican voters to choose the rewards of evil over good meant for all life on this planet.

Discovering what my ancestors endured under the sadistic administration of slavery gives me more gratitude for their suffering so that I could have a life cannot be put into my words. Witnessing a woman of color, that former governor of South Carolina, told me her and her family bought into the ‘Faustian Bargain’ to sell their soul to an evil organization known as the Republican Party in America.

The countless murders of Black slaves with the rape after rape of Black girls and women was irrelevant to Nikki Haley when she of clear mind chose to erase the legacy of slavery from Republican minds. That is what she did. Was it sad to see her do that? Yes. I mean this is a woman and a woman of color. See, this is why voters, citizens of America are rejecting Republicans. Not because Black people have told them for decades they harbor only disdain for the lives of anyone not wealthy enough to contribute to their campaigns. Republicans have for decades sought new ways to enslave people.

May I offer examples? Thank you. Wages. The Federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since July 24^th of 2009. I’ve already wrote on my website about the oppression that comes when wages are kept low. Show some responsibility and keep up with me. Abortion rights are restricted to politicians having the ultimate authority on who uses this vital health care option. Guns in America have been returned to frontier rules. Disagreements and their willingness to be used to kill indiscriminately are meant to restrict the free movement and life choices of those of us who don’t wish to live by the ‘sword’.

Republicans are against every American having healthcare. Who does that? Who restricts a human being from being able to be healthy in order to care for themselves and their family? Who!?

So, when a person hesitates on American History that is clear as day, clear as right and wrong, that is not a snap judgment. That person has told you who they are. Believe them the first time! Isn’t that what Maya Angelou told you?

No no no, don’t try to tell me that is politics. This musical group ‘Kolidescopes’ has this song called ‘Foundations’ moves the soul and has meaning. Building someone or having someone strive together and then have the generations that are alive because their ancestors fought to stay alive shows resilience. Slavery cannot be erased! I cannot be erased!

Let me say this as clearly as I can. I don’t care if Satan’s stooges have a nuclear weapon on target for my head I would never ever say slavery was good for Black people! Slavery will never be diminished for me because I wouldn’t be here if my ancestors were not defiant!

So to all the Republicans and Lost Cause scumbags, White Supremacists Hell bound bottom dwellers, and political idiots that pander to them I have seen your attempted mockery of God. Know this you smartasses. I have seen with my own eyes God’s judgment. None of you will leave this world before God judges you.

Indeed, being taught the wrong thing still gives a grown ass woman the choice to reject it in adulthood. Now a Republican’s choice is evident to us all. Isn’t it?

Give me a break. Doctors are not innocent or conflicted by their conscience if you’re attempting to assign to them they didn’t know this persecution of women was coming. I’ll place a bet I know I would win if I had to guess who they primarily vote for at the ballot box. So, you can’t be afraid to conduct health care now that Republicans are criminalizing medicine as it pertains to women’s healthcare.

That’s just like I’m going to ask a formula one race car driver to teach me how to drive a tractor trailer. Or, I’m going to ask a mathematician to teach English Literature. Doctors, you allowed Republicans to creep further and further towards you knowing they were ingratiating themselves into women’s medicine. Doctors, you were wrong!

Do no harm? That’s laughable! It would invoke increasing jocularity if it weren’t for the fact that women are the target of Republican disdain for disobeying their authority. The very tenet that governs doctors was burned to the ground while you watched it happen. Scared of going to jail for conducting your training for more than a decade to become doctors? I don’t feel sorry for any of you.

Doctors, you’ve now put women in the category of property. Property that Republicans have created an entire construct around to inflict whatever rules they see fit in order to restrict their choices.

The police going into a woman’s house to destroy plumbing to recover miscarried fetal matter. Really? That’s what you’ve helped to bring into being doctors. Now you’re being brought into the evil world of White Supremacy that Black folks have being fighting for centuries. An evil that has more heads than a mythological hydra.

Healthcare is now on par with the fight for civil rights. Thank you doctors for inflicting this battle upon women. Yes, apathy towards something you thought would never rise to the level of criminality for women has shown you all you were hilariously wrong.

I guess 10+ years of education blinded you all to that possible reality.

Issue 13: ‘Don’t Insult My Intelligence Kirk’

One of my most favorite lines from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. What must be unbelievable is suddenly demanded to be believed. The dictionary says that the meaning of a ‘white flag’ whether it is a cloth or a flag is used as a symbol of surrender. What part of telling us that an Israeli sniper accidentally shot these human beings we suppose to believe?

Wait, let me back up. Does the Israeli Defense Forces have a conduct code or something similar to the American military Uniform Code of Military Justice? If they do, then tell me why an order was given to kill these men surrendering? If the report I’ve read is accurate, why did the Israel sniper kill 2 of these men? Why did an Israeli soldier shoot and kill the last surrendering man?

Don’t insult my intelligence. For instance, on one of the two deployments to Afghanistan, me and my soldiers manned a position after coming under indirect fire. My soldiers said they saw individuals moving outside the wire and wanted my permission to fire on them. I asked my soldiers where they were. They told me. I looked and I couldn’t positively identify any of the people. So, you know what I told my soldiers? No you cannot! I can’t PID them and neither can you.

I’m going to say it again Israel. You’re squandering any empathy, good will, solidarity for what the atrocities you suffered at the hand of HAMAS on October 7^th, 2023 by telling your troops to act with vengeance. I keep asking anyone and everyone to read my post ‘How to Degrade a Human Being’. Look it up on my website. I guess I’ll have to keep saying it until my Black skin turns green. That’s why God said ‘vengeance is mine, I will repay’.

That’s not an accident those Israeli soldiers killed those human beings those hostages surrendering. They had to been given orders to shoot to kill any male they see. Dam the Law of War or any decency and order (I Corinthians 14:40). HAMAS didn’t follow any rules so why should Israel right?

Israel’s enemies in the world, Hamas, Hezbollah, or any democratic country supporting Israel isn’t telling Israel to conduct their campaign of war in that manner. Israel is doing it to themselves!

Oh, and by the way. If an American soldier had killed surrendering human beings that soldier and whoever gave the order would be court martialed immediately! Pulled off the battlefield. Put in chains and hauled off to the nearest location to be imprisoned pending trial period.

I keep saying it. It matters who your leader are. Prime Minister Netanyahu is an acolyte of Donald Trump and men like that see currency in flaunting the expectations we have of our leaders to be good and decent human beings.

That’s right. I love me some Khan, but that’s fantasy and remember he got outsmarted by experience and decency. Captain Kirk was going to beam above the Reliant and stop the device. That is how American military leaders and service members should conduct themselves. ‘With Honor’ is not a slogan. It is an expectation!

Issue 29: A Way That is Right to Him

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

I wonder when it happened in America? Probably, well not probably, I’m sure it happened long before Black people got that last 2/5’s to become fully whole citizens in America. I know, being 3/5’s of a human being was convenient to the founders, you know to please all those ‘slave masters’ that wanted things to remain the way they’ve always been right?

Well, I’ve got a news bulletin for the writers, bloggers, sports prognosticators and everybody else with a penchant for putting words to every medium. Coach Deion Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes doesn’t have to follow a path, pattern, blueprint or what’s acceptable for a football guru. Let me tell, no share a little history. A little history before America wrote her own rules about what history should be taught. Yeah that also means our suppressed history Black folks.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Galatians 6:4…But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. Coach Prime conducts the art of football coaching based on his own terms, knowledge, and philosophy. Now, everybody that knows me knows that I support any human being doing things their way abiding by certain rules hopefully. No harm morally, illegally or ethically can come to the people in your charge. Leaders have a high calling and I don’t absolve anyone of that standard.

I know, some people seem to call anybody a leader these days. I beg to differ for reasons that are quite clear. Leader means there is someone following you based on the success you’ve had in your particular interests. Coach Prime knows he has to carve a path in college football that is overgrown and full of obstacles. Sure, I know there were already Black coaches in college football long before Prime graced the sidelines. The difference is, think back now, did you see those coaches being who they truly were?

Stay with me now. We’re still in the college ranks. I know the NFL have always had colorful coaches that did it whatever way they saw fit. Dam what anybody else thought of them. College is different.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say what I believe needs to be said. All those negative Nicks and proper Priscillas know that at the end of the day college football at its core is entertainment. They still frown upon coaches being animated on the sidelines. Well, not to get too much into self-care, but ‘positive expression about the profession eliminates depression’.

When you enjoy what you’re doing, and this goes for anything not harmful preferably, is essential to your overall well-being. Excitement in sports is not just for the spectators. It is critical for players, coaches, alumni and the athletic departments to enjoy!

Let the man alone as far as his flamboyance goes. Hopefully flamboyance will become the norm sooner rather than later in all sports. Coach Prime, do what you do. I’ll be watching.

Foreword:

It is not enough to call it a revelation. Learning that what you’ve been taught about something that should be a source of guidance, strength, serenity and hope was distorted. Distorted by no other reason because to live up to it doesn’t promise enough affection amongst others. Others that are all too eager to have others join their failures.

Trickster: Edition Three: ‘The Book of Man’ – Love Only Those That Love You

Let’s get right to it. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Saint Luke 6:32…For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. My my my, isn’t it obvious to spiritual people that these so-called Christians never read that verse? I was looking at a clip of U.S. Rep. Jayapal being talked down to by CNN host Dana Bash that Hamas raping Israeli women justifies Israel killing every Palestinian civilian they can.

Dana Bash didn’t say that, but that’s what she was trying to make Rep. Jayapal concede. Because Hamas murdered and raped scores of Israeli citizens, it is okay to kill Palestinian civilians. These news media people are responsible for what they say too. I don’t care what their network bosses want them to say. Me, Mr. Moseley, I would tell them that there is a difference. Innocent civilians are not fair game because terrorists of a sworn adversary, who also just happen to be Palestinians, make them also responsible for the atrocities of Hamas.

U.S. Representative Jayapal is a human being that should be lauded as an example of personal truth. Why do we all, human beings, take 20 steps back, or backslide as the Holy Bible states, when we know to call the truth as it is. Israel knows they are ‘degrading’ their own nation by just destroying everything in sight in the Gaza Strip.

‘Only care about people that care about me’, that’s what we say and believe in America isn’t it? That’s why I call out every so-called Christian I see talking out their double-minded mouth. That’s not how it’s supposed to be. It can’t keep happening like this.

I was going to place my next statement in my retelling of Black History as it has propelled my life to moral clarity. The human beings that have been critical to my certainty of moral clarity have been 90% Black Women. White women I would give another 7%. Men I would assign that last 3%. Black women have scolded me, purged my sins, indoctrinated my empathy and reasoning, driven my compacity to forgive, and cultivated the love I have for all human beings as I did receive the gift of spirituality from my mother (in defiance of her husband, my father who was a cruel man).

I must say this as a precaution to those trying to read the Holy Bible for the first time. Do it slowly. I recommend Saint Luke Chapter 6. I believe it has everything in it the Holy Father needs you to know. Wow, even I was overwhelmed reading it again to just write one verse for this post.

Also loyal readers, tell everybody you know that you point true North to www.landcause.com to read one of my favorite posts, ‘How to Degrade An Organization’. It never seems to get old. It’s certainly timely for the Middle East now.

Look, let me say this again as clearly as I can. No one gets a pass in judgment. So if you think there is a race or a people, a culture, a sex, a human orientation that should be excluded from living up to decency and order. Stop! America, Israel, Russia, China, countries of Europe and all over the world. Nobody gets to do whatever they want and the world excludes this country or that country because we feel sorry about their plight.

Every people, race, color, sex and origin have had tragedies inflicted upon it. I don’t give no one a pass because ‘all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God’. So I expect nothing less of my leaders in America calling Israel to task for the outrageous numbers of Palestinian civilian deaths.

‘Two wrongs don’t make a right’ nor does ‘Loving only those that love you stops the madness’. You’re leaders Israel! Like it or not you’re the one with the most power! Figure it out and stop this senseless cycle of killing!

Senator Graham, said today December the 3^rd, 2023 something like ‘that all Palestinians are evil and they deserve to be punished along with the terrorist group Hamas’. This next one is more of the same. I heard crap like this when I was 17 years old over 40 years ago. U.S. Representative Virginia Foxx stating ‘no one wants to work’. There’s an even better one, Donald Trump says that since he was President of the U.S. he should be ‘immune from all wrongdoings’.

I can truly believe Donald Trump believes what he says. So many people around him have been kissing his ass for so long he must’ve saved a fortune on ‘toilet paper’.

Now I was watching a former Israeli official speaking about the Palestinians and how they chose the worst of two options to govern them in the Gaza Strip. It struck me because he felt justified as he relieved himself of responsibility of the decades of conflict. These are the leaders Israel had in power? Are you seriously saying that even though you had all the ‘power’ if the Palestinians didn’t choose the government Israel wanted then we should just continue killing each other. Is that leadership?

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 1 Peter 2:15…For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. Senator Graham is a White man doing what he has always been taught. Judging others from a perch of false piety covered and dripping with stupidity. Defense Secretary Austin is speaking what I taught my soldiers when I was active duty United States Army. ‘You think because you outrank people you can do whatever evil you want to them, but the truth is you will always get a fight. Whether it is physical or mental’.

President Joe Biden is spot on with the approach he is taking. President Biden is the leader. Leaders don’t throw their hands in the air and say ‘to Hell with all of them’. Americans better take a real hard look at how the President of the United States is supposed to act! Americans, stop your callow-walling and stick with the ‘man’ you got running the show now.

Let me stop and say this. Americans, you’ve been on a historic ride economically. President Biden and the Democratic Federal legislative leadership in the Congress thankfully did what they had to do in the President’s first two years. Look at you! This man, the President, has stood with you for higher wages, better security and safety on the job, prosperity now and decades to come and you still aren’t thankful? Get your head out your asses and ask President Biden and the Democrats how can you help them.

What has the Republicans done to make your lives better? Taken away your right to body autonomy. No law to stop the killing of your children in school. Telling you what you can and cannot read. Complaining about border security when it’s actually their job to secure it. Complaining about immigration while denying America the benefits and tax base this population could give the country. Need I go on?

Do me a favor so-called Christians. Just come out and say you’ve been playing God because you have. Nobody with common sense believe you’ve ever spoken for God. If you ever did I’d like to take the country back to 60’s era Birmingham, Alabama (my birthplace) to watch a little Black girl running from White supremacist with a broken leg.

Tell me something? Where was your Christian faith? A little Black girl running on one leg from Police Chief Bull Connor’s police force. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. should never had to come to you for help. White churches should’ve been knocking the doors down on his headquarters stumbling over each other to help. All of you! That’s why you’re still so-called Christians to this day supporting whatever false ‘god’ is placed in front of you.

I hope the ‘orange jesus’ is the ‘god’ you’ve envisioned you would’ve always received. Yeah, just like a Christian.

Issue 16: The Beatitudes

I’m not going to rewrite the entire chapter of Saint Luke that I will be deeply referring to in this post of the ReRoute. Look at verse 35 of Luke Chapter 6 before you choose to cosign with all the Americans hating the Palestinians residing in Israel and elsewhere around the world. What Jesus said is right. Jesus said his Father ‘is kind to the unthankful and to the evil’.

My word to all the people that so easily ignore the mote in their hateful eye towards the latest people to be scorned, take a long pause and think. America, Israel, European nations are not above God period! I don’t care who you are. America has a long history of internal protest when it comes to armed conflicts around the world. Does the rest of the world not know this? I mean I’m talking about America’s friends and enemies.

It is absolutely right for all of God’s people to decry the loss of innocent life. Stop attacking young people of any race, nationality, color, sex, religion or whatever because they that mourn will be comforted. Read that Bible that you slam with your open palm so often and you’d know this you so-called Christians. I’m almost 60 years old and it seems there is still much to marvel about these days. Are you serious?

My advice to Israel is get rid of that Prime Minister as soon as you can. Looking at his countenance, his demeanor, his calculations behind his eyes and on his face tell me he’s double-minded in the mist of all the troubles Israel is having. Leaders don’t matter huh? Yeah right!

God in Heaven knows that Donald Trump should never be the face of America ever again. If this has to be explained to citizens again, then let’s everybody that knows America must endure explain it a thousand times a thousand everyday if necessary.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Proverbs Chapter 12 verse 12…The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. What does that mean you ask? It means that all those ‘folks’ that did all that evil under Donald Trump were not corrupted by Donald Trump. They were already there. All of them thought they could get something out of the deal.

It boggles my mind still. Why do people still think they can manipulate the Devil? These ‘folks’ still believe that they can step on the Devil’s dancefloor and tell him what music to play. The delusions are astronomical in their height and bottomless in their depth.

That’s why the scripture so softly admonishes everyone with the better choice after it cautions us. Time is the key. Let me plug my stories here as Mother S. Sayer and The Soul of Black Land are heavy with time as a theme. ‘Time should let us know that a finished product looks, smells, behaves differently from all the ingredients’.

The ‘root’ of a thing, in this case it is speaking metaphysically, that growth begins at ground level and slowly nourishes its’ way to the top.

Just like Blade said in Blade II, ‘some M Fers always trying to ice skate uphill’.

Now back to this perversion of warfare. Sun Tzu said in the Art of War something like this and I’m paraphrasing. ‘Know your enemy and know yourself and your victory is assured. Know Heaven and Earth and your victory will be complete’.

Sun Tzu didn’t say, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy and adopt the tactics of your enemy and your victory will be complete’. Did he say that? No he did not. Listen to me now everybody that knows me and my website landcause.com. Evil is always restless. You cannot cloak yourself in it to ‘avenge’ a people. Evil will not allow you to remove it like removing a garment you’re now tired of wearing. It don’t work like that ‘homeboy’! The ‘Moral Law’ isn’t a suggestion.

Let me close with this fact about Black people. Black people, slaves, my ancestors, suffered great hardships, unimaginable cruelty, oppression in every form from wages to freedom and they still chose for America to endure. Maybe there are lessons in history, if history isn’t banned I should say, that people who are oppressed should try and emulate. America is steadily getting to that place of honor. I know Black folks will always tell the truth of where we came from.

I know because I still remember my lessons if I didn’t remember anything else ever said to me.

America: ReRouted by the blessedness of forgiveness.

Let me ask you this. Have you encountered men and women after you’ve meet them afterwards you feel something is being held at bay within them? Something they truly want to say or do that actually represents their true nature. Those people that give off negative energy crackling with biting evil at the edges? Some of these people spend just a brief amount of time looking for a small audience that tends to okay their wish to stop fighting the evil inside them. Huh? Have you? You know the kind don’t you?

They embrace their true nature rather quickly afterwards don’t they? It only took those people around Donald Trump moments to welcome the full coverings of evil into their hearts. Proximity to power is a mirage. Good is not enclosed within an office. A title. Financial wealth. Those examples I’ve given are mere reasons, false to be certain, to make their true nature deceptive to the people who say they knew them. The friends, family, associates that claimed they were not aware of their true character. How did anyone actually believe their character was anything but what they’ve now genuinely displayed though?

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 26:25…When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. By the way, the people who thought those they knew were morally and spiritually sound were either poor judges of character, or they’re wholly lacking in their mentally mature abilities.

I’ll let you do a little discovery on where you can find scripture that says exactly that. It goes something like ‘having their senses exercised to discern both good and evil’. If you can search the ‘texts’ then you’re better than the entirety of so-called Christians walking the face of this Earth.

Now why did I start with a good chunk of the content of my next episode of ‘The Soul of Black Land’? We have deceivers at it again in my adopted State of Kentucky. This is for anyone over 50 that can remember when minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. Anyone? Now Governor Beshear of Kentucky has done the job with extraordinary passion. Why am I still hearing that the Governor’s race is tied in Kentucky? The reason I believe is these pricks that don’t like people raising themselves out of poverty want a buffoon in Daniel Cameron to restore this ‘low wage’ oppression I just pointed out above.

Young people today, think for a moment. Now $3.35 an hour at 40 hours a week is $134 dollars a week before taxes. What’s the average hourly pay now? Around $17 dollars an hour. That’s $680 dollars a week. Why would you let the ‘RICH MAN’ oppress your wages again? Do you want to return to struggling like I did as a young man doing honorable work as a cashier at a gas station making $134 dollars a week. That’s $536 a month! You can barely buy a decent car nowadays for around $500 a month.

Stop falling for ‘flip the script’ dumb shit! Go out and vote for Governor Beshear and let’s keep this winning streak going Kentucky. By the way, $536 a month translates into $6432 dollars a year. I suppose some people could call that ‘MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN’.

I dam sure can’t.

Right off the bat there was a man badmouthing the deal the UAW, United Auto Workers, union made with Ford and others. Let’s check this guys’ self-righteousness with what the Holy Bible actually says about those that labor in exchange for wages. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Malachi 3:5…and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages…

Now, the fool will always go against what is more profitable for everyone. Yes, you may wrap up the so-called economist as well in that box and give it back to the ‘Rich Man’. Let’s look at the positive effects of paying wages that allow hirelings to take care of themselves and their responsibilities. Momma and Daddy are fed adequately which results in optimal care for their health and the health of those in their charge.

Children perform better as they have their growing needs met from head to toe. As the hireling prospers goes the home. As the hireling prospers goes the neighborhood. As the hireling prospers goes the city. As the hireling prospers goes the State. As the hireling prospers goes the nation.

What do you think happens if only the business prospers? Huh, got you thinking now don’t I? It is not the job of God to walk humanity through every consequence of our decisions. We, human beings, talk so much about freedom that we lose sight of the responsibilities that intertwine the success of us all. Answer this question. Why do some companies, communities, people prosper when others have these ebbs and flows that always fall on the side of like one of my friends said recently, ‘a ship taking on water’.

There’s no maybe or hedging on what causes upheaval when ‘right’ seems so obvious. I’ve been a part of many successful businesses. The ‘energy’ that seems to never stops flowing is the choice they make in treating their ‘hirelings’. Pay people for making you successful and you will remain successful!

I mean some of these companies seem to always experience a weather event. I mean they are constantly rerunning power lines and replacing poles. Metaphorically they never run their power lines underground or in places where they cannot be snapped by high winds and violent rains. It’s because they don’t make ‘whole’ their business. You make you business ‘whole’ by not risking the wrath of God.

So, I think President Joe Biden has proven all the so-called economists wrong by hitting the American economy like a freight train. I mean, how fucking stupid have we all been. I believed the foolishness too about low wages being the reason an economy stays viable when the Holy Bible says the exact opposite. Yeah, believe evil before I believe good. I’m right there. Guilty as charged. I tell you what though, that shit is over!

What else I need to say? Oh, right. About Israel and every nation. It is not the responsibility of America or any nation to tell another nation what is right or what is wrong. America, Israel, Russia, China and anybody else knows what is right and what is wrong.

What is the definition of insanity? Keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. If Israel wants the same problems into perpetuation then let them. If they believe what they’re doing in regards to the Gaza Strip is righteous, let them keep doing it. Just like a parent would admonish a child. If you keep doing something expecting that it will not destroy you someday keep doing it. The rest of the world should leave it at that. When Israel come crying again for help you treat them just like you’d treat your child.

I told you what you are doing is not wise. It’s insane. I see you chose to ignore me, so keep doing what you’re doing. If you like it I love it!

Issue 12: Bubble Gum and Invisible Tape

When the times are right to build a house; most people would consult a licensed building contractor to do the work. Some people among us would disagree with that. Many contrary people would be fine hiring someone who would present a mock up crafted with bubble gum, invisible tape, glue and popsicle sticks.

This is the result of what’s been going on now for nearly two decades that is a direct representation of the Republican Party. Personally, I’m fine with Republicans sitting around in their homes breaking up their furniture for firewood. I’m not fine with Republicans taking this bubble gum, contrary minded so-called Christian tomfoolery to the Federal Government or any level of government!

Now contrast that with what the Republican Party has shown you with what the Democratic Party has shown you. For instance, the current tension in the Middle East that resembles a boiling pot of hot water that mischievous people, while smirking, are nudging off the edge of the stove. Americans, do you want Republicans, who’ve demonstrated they’re clueless and wholly ignorant of the serious tasks facing them to continue to run the House of Representatives of the United States Congress?

I’ve seen an article about Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel having a hand in pumping up Hamas against the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Netanyahu’s been suggested as the catalyst for what has happened in Israel the last two weeks. I’m not going to say it’s true on my website. I’m just going to repeat what I’ve advised against all my life.

Don’t get me wrong now. I’ve heard this mentality in America all too often as well. It’s a fabrication of the entertainment industry. Commit evil so that good my come. What the ‘F—K! were you thinking! Just as the ‘ranger’ who returned as King in Lord of the Rings said, ‘You cannot wield it. The ring has no other master. It answers to Sauron alone’.

Don’t worry. The next clown will do the same thing. Think he or she is smarter than the ‘First Father’ himself and attempt to pit one evil force against another in order to bring about some form of peace for their people or nation. It’s a hallucination. It’s a pipe dream. It has been foolishness from the time it was thought of. Why do you think scripture says the correct way to fight it. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Romans 12:21…Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Anybody says they can turn an evil force against another this is what you do. Turn and look at all the sorrow. All the destruction. All the death and pain. At that moment decide if you want to skin and grin and let that fool do it, or vehemently oppose that clown and dispel him or her from your government never to listen to again!

As far as all the State Department of the United States diplomatic staff disagreeing with the decisions that are made; I’d say that’s fine. If you think your quitting means you’re right whoever you are you’re even more delusional than Donald Trump. Yeah, just because some ‘Legacy Media’ outlet pumps you up is completely irrelevant because they’re being called out and scrutinized in ways long overdue now. So get over yourself.

Oh, the Republican candidates in their primary for President are laughable as they should be. These people have zero moral courage to speak the truth about civilians in Gaza being the innocent pawns in their struggle to find a dignified life. These Republicans want to be President of the United States? How can you ‘square’ your so-called Christian faith with that?

Look, when emotions and feelings are raw, reducing the number of voices will correlate to a calming effect on the thoughts of those who feel they’re being victimized. Whether you like it or not, the way President Biden is conducting the affairs of State is spot on right now.

There will be time when this ‘Upheaval’ is concluded to call the ones into account that set this tragedy in motion. God help us all, please.

Issue 3: Keep Your Mind In Line

This digital article is necessary. I’ve suffered many stale pieces of bread bland to the taste to not urgently solve this problem. A setback, I’ll call it, to not write too philosophical a thread and have a reader not be quick to follow. Wondering how you’re going to recover from it if it involves the loss of income. Most if not all inflicted with this issue immediately locate a suitable replacement on short order.

For some the need to replace a vital income is more pressing. This is when a simple setback could turn into some hard feelings or worse a destroyed relationship or name. Even I have to ‘keep my mind in line’ when these sorts of matters happen. I’ve said it many times. I am no more immune to the issues of life than anyone else. I just embrace them because I want to understand how in the course of living these sorts of occurrences are fraught with so many consequences if they’re handled wrong. Bad consequences to be sure.

So how do you prepare for such events. Well not everyone will be blessed with income to answer issues that are specifically handled with money. In those cases we promote savings accounts. A consistent monetary amount saved will help alleviate unforeseen expenses. It may not cover them entirely, but some ‘mad money’ we call it in the Black community does help.

Although the podcast has many techniques to deal directly with many of the issues here, I do want to hit on your mind being the first line of defense against the onslaught of uncertainty. Even if you aren’t suffering any issues in the conduct of your life; prepare as if you are. Practice a solid block of techniques I give in the episode as if you’re suffering from every problem imaginable. These don’t need to be practiced daily, but set aside some time each month to keep your skills, your mind, in line.

MOTHER Se’MAY SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 3: Episode 2: The Blackest Hole

Part Two: Adrift in Time

Prologue:

(The illusion of purpose is like entering an empty house. Staring first at the walls not happy with the colors. The flooring doesn’t produce enough energy to stir your imagination let alone still water in a lake. Oh, looking out the windows at the yard begins to excite a little as flowers to a woman which may not get her happiness all the way there, but it moves her mind to envisioning beautiful colors and scents.

Mother begins to turn her thoughts towards her many encounters with Oakli Sands. Oakli always pointed to the trappings of wealth and privilege, but she never discussed much about how those accouterments molded her thoughts of the world around her. It was always with Oakli how her family name did this or that for her. Never did she let off to Mother a feeling that Mother knew Oakli could handle her good fortune mentally.

Perhaps Mother is concerned too much about her people and their complete mental and physical well-being. This by no means will stop Mother from probing Oakli’s lifestyle. Is she happy with all the advantages she’s had in her life. Still has, and with those advantages what has they taught her about life. Does she feel she hasn’t learned something, or does Oakli feel she’s fine with her upbringing as money has shielded her from a lot of the ugliness of the world.

Mother will find out. Now Sarah did say that the SAFE ROAD project was split up. The N’TIME Project was spun off with the safety features about alerting the public of dangerous events. SAFE ROAD now is strictly about envisioning possible new adaptations of treatment protocols that immediately provides recording behavior and data to foster better help to those suffering from mental and substance use disorders.).

———————–Another Day in Time——————–

Mother Sayer: (Mother and Sarah make their way over to the offices of the SAFE ROAD Project. There is a feeling Mother has about meeting with Oakli the team leader. Mother thinks Oakli is conflicted in some way. Maybe the young lady will open up to her.). Sarah, what do you think we’re walking into today?

Sarah W. Certainty: I believe the SAFE ROAD Project will require most of your attention. If I may offer my help. I can video conference the PLAYBOY Project. Justus has many of your qualities now although they took their time in manifesting themselves. I’ll brief you on the progress. Yes I’ll be probing with precise timeline questions.

Mother Sayer: I won’t need that much time with Oakli’s team.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh really? I’ve been around my mother long enough to know when mothers start to become concerned about their children. It’s okay. I’ll handle your son. Just do for Oakli the same for all your children. Oakli needs you. I’ve felt it too. (Sarah sees Mother brood over not having her hands in everything about The ARC, Incorporated, but Mother trusts Sarah and she relents to her suggestion.). We’ll meet back at the office.

——————–Days like today are what it’s all about——————-

(Mother enters the door of the SAFE ROAD offices and she is immediately greeted by Oakli and her team. The briefing begins with very few introductions. Oakli has integrated the two therapists on her staff. Their input, as well as all her associates, is given equal weight and perspective.

Mother notices something odd about the presentation. The team disseminates the data in easy to understand terms as they should, but the look on their faces suggest that they’re not feeling the purpose or possible widespread appeal this project supposed to have to the general public. The ‘WHY’ of the project hasn’t been answered to the satisfaction of all the associates.

If the leader doesn’t give off an understanding of what this project can do then the team will certainly not be feeling the point.).

Mother Sayer: The presentation didn’t give me a ‘charge’ at all. I didn’t feel any energy, no sparkling discharges to ground myself before I shake any hands to congratulate. Flat is not what I expected. Is there something you need? Something I can provide to change perspectives or outcomes?

Oakli: It’s me Mother. Pumping myself up every day to lead this team has drained more of whatever I got inside me for life. My gas tank has pulsated a blinking red light for some time now. I need some assistance.

Mother Sayer: That’s why I assigned the SAFE ROAD Project to you. Look, a lot of the things that we’re given in life. The things that are assigned enjoyment. It seems those things were dumped on you in your personal life without a little explaining and proper context.

Oakli: Mother, have you always had money? I mean how did you grow up? Were things in life denied to you because they couldn’t give them to you?

Mother Sayer: Let’s go over here and talk. Oakli, I want to fully understand what you’re asking me. Are you asking about what those things bought with money can bring to your life?

Oakli: When I realized I was caught in the trappings of wealth; I didn’t know how to respond. I think, no I know, I just looked around me at how the females I saw behaved and I just reacted the same way they did. How they were treated. I wasn’t certain in my mind what things mean. I wasn’t standing on dry ground. It’s like I was unsteady on my feet all the time.

Mother Sayer: Like you were ‘adrift in time’? Just a present soul in all the activities occurring around you. No one with any virtues, morals or awareness of the outside world to see you slide toward darkness without knowing why. Wealth is not instructive of any of those things, and from the feeling I’m getting from what you kind of know; money is a poor teacher.

Oakli: The last talk we had. Do you remember? You asked me about all the money that surrounded me. I couldn’t read the room. It was like I was amongst foreigners oblivious to their language. Relegated to just nodding agreement. I was adrift.

Mother Sayer: That’s the meaning of the ‘The Blackest Hole’. Let me help you understand something about being in the presence of any life altering ‘element’ such as money. For that matter it could be any ‘element’ or substance. Illicit drugs, sex, power or the unseen like influence and religion. Most people when they are around those things they relinquish their essence to it.

Oakli: I suddenly felt a different kind of energy powering up. It was a boost of zest or was it wonder. What life could be for me. I knew there was something in conflict with what’s been draining the life out of me every day.

Mother Sayer: Them switches that you unknowingly turned on to govern you. Money, influence, power aren’t so enticing now are they? They started to ‘flicker’ didn’t they?

Oakli: Yes, it was as if the power company panicked a bit. The pursuit of money, power and the like had lower rates from the power company huh? The virtues, the morals, those were billed at higher rates because they’re seldomly switched on.

Mother Sayer: You’ve been communing with the metaphysical deeply of late I see. Also know that the ‘power’ to those ‘elements’ of money, power and influence will be hard to disconnect. Perhaps it may even take you changing your address metaphorically or literally to keep the power on to the virtues. We’re going on and on and we haven’t eaten yet. Let’s order lunch for the team and continue this discussion after we eat.

—————————Feed what keeps you healthy—————————-

(The SAFE ROAD team has eaten lunch and everybody is inputting their ideas into the system for the next day. Mother and Oakli have quietly found a section of the office, not behind closed doors, where they can continue their discussion without everyone hearing personal truths.)

Mother Sayer: ‘The choices we make to what we give our energy gives us back our brightness’. I can’t remember who said that to me, but it made sense at the time and still does.

Oakli: Do I need to disconnect my lines from power and influence?

Mother Sayer: Slow down there grasshopper. Power and influence aren’t evil ‘elements’ in and of themselves. It is how they’re implemented and inflicted on others that they destroy their purpose.

Oakli: So power is useful in the right hands?

Mother Sayer: Of course. If you don’t have power or the means to direct the goodness in your heart, then the ones who have the power most of the time will use it in perverted ways that bring destruction not only to others, but to themselves as well.

Oakli: So, you still need power to do things to get things done.

Mother Sayer: I can’t tell you how many times soldiers came to me fearing rank and authority only to recount in their misconception of it. How they caused a lot of pain to others because they chose not to obtain it, power, thereby leaving it in the hands of someone more destructive.

Oakli: Yeah, start paying for the power I need and turn it on at home, metaphorically.

Mother Sayer: You’re right Oakli. I sometimes check and recheck whether the power is on when I use a lot of the contraptions humanity has created.

Oakli: Forgetting the power switch for the source of energy that really matters. The conscience, the brain, the mind and the heart are all neglected or pushed aside to focus on the ‘elements’ which can only feed our interpretation of them.

Mother Sayer: Money can’t talk back to you or sort out the issues of life and give you a pathway to understanding them. So, to be clear, there isn’t a need to disconnect your ‘source of power’, but run lines from the source of power that burns bright your light.

Oakli: I need more time to talk to you. Do you have a few more minutes to give to me?

Mother Sayer: Don’t worry about the time. Remember what I just told you? Power gives you the ability to focus on your people when they need you right?

Oakli: Great. I was told my entire life up until I came to your company as well. Fortune, fame, influence extends to those born under its cloak. I clung to that belief. Something I didn’t expect began to happen to me. I may just be superstitious, but when I turned a few light switches on during the times I felt ‘adrift’; they blew pretty quick. The sound was loud as well I will say. What’s that about?

Mother Sayer: Earlier I asked you did the lights ‘flicker’, metaphorically, at all when you turned them on or off? Let me ask you? When you had the light bulbs changed did the new lights shine brighter or about the same?

Oakli: Flicker?

Mother Sayer: Sometimes the energy in our body may overload electrical devices. Don’t be skeptical now, just go with it. Maybe the light bulb blew because it was overpowered by the darkness creeping up around you. The love of money creates many ill intentions. Maybe some of that mal-content blew off of the folks around you onto you. If you walk on a dirt road your clothes will be dusty.

Oakli: I’m picturing in my mind what you’re saying. Some mornings when I switch on the lights it seems like they take their time getting bright. The same happens when I turn them on at night. It’s more noticeable because I need the light to chase away the darkness, at the very least so I can find things in my room.

Mother Sayer: How many times have you had the light bulbs changed in your room? (Mother sees Oakli’s surprised look.).

Oakli: Several times over the past few weeks. What? What does that mean? Is there someone using wealth for evil? For misguided benefit? What?

Mother Sayer: It seems you’ve had this dilemma plaguing you for a while. Has it?

Oakli: My family is not evil! Is that what you wanted to hear?

Mother Sayer: (Mother gets up from her seat at the table and motions Oakli to stand up so she can say something to her that nobody else needs to hear.). Don’t think in your silk bra and happy G-string White privilege ass to ever speak to me in such a manner again. In different times I would’ve bitch slapped you.

I didn’t craft a roguishly void world of any accountability to humanity to put those fake smiles on your face. Nor did I drop you completely ignorant into it. Swell your chest up to me again and I will show you how a Black Mother handles a disrespectful child.

Oakli: (Oakli begins to cry.). I’m sorry. (She says exasperated.). I, I am lost. Help me make sense of. I don’t even know what to make sense of. I’m totally out of touch with reality. All I’ve been seeing of late is approaching darkness. I don’t even have any light to fight back.

Mother Sayer: First. I accept your apology. Look, the smartest choice you made all on your own is to bring your ass back the next day through my doors. That day you helped yourself more than you realized. Now, believe me. Together we will work to get your energy powered up and bring your ‘systems’ back online.

Oakli: I felt it that day. It was odd that my thoughts about what a job was for could snap my head around. When I got home for the day those feelings were still with me. When I closed my bedroom door that night and turned out the lights for the first time in a long time the brightness lingered.

I knew I tasted something different. No way was I going to clutch my pearls again and feel secure amongst the money I dam sure didn’t earn. The façade I dropped that night shattered on my floor and you know what? I left the broken pieces right there.

Mother Sayer: I hope you didn’t cut your feet on any of it. Did you sweep the pieces up yet?

Oakli: A few days later. Metaphorically.

Mother Sayer: (Mother laughs. I see her dim switch malfunctioning.). That I can relate. Wonderful feeling isn’t it? Finally receiving consequential instruction on what life surprises you with and how you should handle it. When my Father took me under his wing I was hooked on learning like the worst addict. My addiction was to sound wisdom and knowledge by the way.

Oakli: That taste of different is different isn’t it? I’m here because I crave more. Just holding onto the thought of being in this building has been enough. I need to know why? I need more from you.

Mother Sayer: Your test of character. Go on.

Oakli: When my bedroom lights started to linger I knew that ‘Blackest Hole’ began to collapse in upon itself. I took it as a sign I needed to point my car in this direction a little bit longer.

Mother Sayer: There are too many people that wouldn’t turn their backs on playing in a pigpen of wealth. Why you? You’ve played in it for years. Why is wealth not enough for you?

Oakli: Because everywhere I shopped, I mean all those stores that sparkled with glitter and glamour never stocked the items I now understood were missing from my life.

Mother Sayer: You mean purpose, compassion, the heart to help those in need regardless of how they ended up where they are. Rich folks don’t give a shit about poor people. The rich believe that tax breaks are a return on investment? America must pay for the privilege of rich people suffering amongst the ‘lowlifes’ right?

Oakli: They sure don’t call it welfare, and yes I believe if some of the ultra-wealthy my family knows if they turned their nose up any further you’d see all their boogers. Now, after I started here I noticed that although I didn’t pinpoint what I was missing I just felt it was here.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, I know. You don’t know what you don’t know right? I thank God all the time that somehow the woman that was my mother met Mr. Sayer, my father. I know my life would be different. I’ll leave it at that.

Oakli: How could you know that though?

Mother Sayer: Just one of those mysterious feelings you get. Like walking a line that has both options on either side. Just a little tilt to one side or the other and you’re stuck with your choice.

Oakli: In that case, I too thank my good fortune to go by that recruiters’ table at Columbia. I don’t know. He just looked plainly dressed with zero bling. I just knew something was pulling me to go over there. To that table.

Mother Sayer: I support small business. They’re the ones in my estimation that are looking for that hungry look and feel about people. Just like I was and still am today. I knew he could sniff out talent. Like a pro football scout that goes to JUCO (Junior colleges) schools where nobody gives the time of day.

Oakli: He glowed. What name was on his card? Ardrac Betacus, recruiter.

Mother Sayer: Ardrac Betacus. His parents were creative in naming him that’s for sure. Enough about my recruiter. Going back to your discovery of what was lacking in your life. The metaphysical hidden gem is the ‘soul’. Most if not all of humanity thinks the soul lies dormant. Frankly, that’s the way most are taught and that is how they like it.

Like the soul is only activated once the flesh dies. So not true.

Oakli: Even I know that doesn’t sound right. Isn’t the soul accessible? Like a direct reflection of the body it communes with?

Mother Sayer: There are Bible verses that says just that. Of a truth. It is. The soul is the source of your energy. Most people never realize that which is why they never direct their soul to fulfill their purpose. Food isn’t the boundless source of the body’s energy. The ‘soul’ is the bustling, divisible energy source.

People that don’t understand this just aimlessly walk around throwing off their energy out into the ether. Just wasting away without a purpose or oblivious to the need of having one.

Oakli: So how do you contain and direct the energy of the soul?

Mother Sayer: The regulator is your brain and mind. Your heart makes sure no comely or uncomely part of your body is neglected. Working together is how your body fulfills promises. When you make the whole body comply, nothing good you put your heart to is undeniable. I didn’t say some material goal.

I said something good for all of mankind is undeniable. That is something you have to figure out in time.

Oakli: What’s right and what’s wrong right?

Mother Sayer: Not to put too simply a point to it, but yes that is exactly what ‘good’ means.

Oakli: My soul is unseen, but I am seen, so my soul is seen. Is that it?

Mother Sayer: You are learning daughter. (Mother is pleased her talk with Oakli has produced much to think about.). Remarkable. A truly remarkable day. Remember this admonishment my dear. The soul speaks to you for sure, but to lock in communion you must consume its righteous council.

Be well. I hope to see you for many days to come. Yes?

Oakli: No chance you won’t. I promise you that?

Epilogue:

(It is days like today that reinforces matters of life for Mother beyond the pursuit of wealth. Oakli is a fine young lady who now must continue to realize her calling. The superficial is weighted more than compassion in this world. The world believes precious metals and remarkable ores are scarce. What about our responsibility to each other? Where does that stand in the pursuit of happiness?

Mother knows if she wanted to she could spend every hour of work pursuing connections that would lead to wealth accumulation. That pursuit Mother found is so hollow that it is a bag that keeps nothing inside of it. People is her calling. Didn’t God tell somebody that ‘They could walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil for God is with them’.

Can’t walk down the street with a bag of coins without feeling you should protect the money. Talk about irony. This is what is broadcast from the pulpit of so-called churches to broadcasts on the airwaves all over the world. More value is given to possessions than human life. Mother Sayer will focus on what matters. Not on the faults of others as she has her own faults to eliminate.

Mother focuses on enlightenment. Enlightenment answers her why? That’s why she is no longer ‘Adrift in Time’.).

Issue 7: Float On?

I purposefully took my time to remind the two State Attorneys/District Attorneys in Florida what Governor Ron DeSantis said about obeying the law if Donald Trump would be arrested, and Florida law enforcement were called upon to assist in bringing Donald Trump to justice. On March 30, 2023 Governor Ron DeSantis said he would not honor an extradition request by New York law enforcement authorities.

I’ll tell you why the two State Attorneys didn’t use that to call for the Governor’s removal under the same Florida law he used against them. They allowed their emotions to suppress clear thinking in responding with equal justice under the law. Isn’t the Governor of Florida required to faithfully execute the laws of Florida? Argue every point that deals with that fact! Stop responding with stupidity by being ignorant of the rule of ‘tit for tat’.

If the new Florida law applies to State Attorneys then it certainly applies to Governor DeSantis. I will say this again. If you’re in government, business, or military service and you’re not utilizing the mental disciplines, you will always miss the ‘clapback’.

Is that the best that the ‘Legacy Media’ of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN has to offer to critique the aftermath of Rupert Murdoch’s FOX contribution to gutter pandering of the human condition? Rupert Murdoch uplifted the immoral, wicked nature of humanity. That’s what you say! Alas, the ‘Legacy Media’ can’t say that because that’s what they’ve practiced for decades before a new player in Murdoch just went ‘Mach 10’ to the gutter.

All Democrats, Independents and truthful Republicans this is your 13 month checkup. Pay attention to who these politicians are in both political parties. I know who I’m voting for a little over a year from now. It is President Joe Biden. Why? President Biden just turned the ship around on microchip production. (Psst, a little secret, microchips power our defense posture. A disruption in the Pacific Ocean would quicken America’s demise. Just thought you should know that.).

President Biden knows that unions provide a fair wage. Companies won’t just pay it out of the kindness of their heart. I believe President Biden knows that a minimum yearly salary set at say $75, 000 dollars a year would turbo charge over 130 million working families. The boom to our economy would be evident really quick! Imagine all the ‘employees’ that would suddenly have a little economic room to go for that idea they have for a product, business, or support a friend in creating a business.

The jolt to the economy wouldn’t just be in spending. It would be in elevating communities, cities, charitable organizations. Look now, the wealthy has shut America down for decades if not for centuries. Yes, the ‘Legacy Media’ hyping these rich folks up like they’re some kind of ingenious gurus.

Have you ever seen some shows on cable that tout ‘The Men that built America’. Like really? I thought slaves and rich men buying politicians to write laws for companies to pay poverty wages built America. Maybe I got that history wrong. Hey it is possible I’m wrong.

Like the song goes, ‘Float on Float on, Float Float Float on’. And my name is Victor, I believe in the truth. Oh, let me stop.

The Floaters ladies and gentlemen sing that song. I know you know what’s at stake for America. Remember this statement I’ve always made. ‘Great societies don’t die by the sword; they die by the debauchery, the immorality of their leaders, and the foolishness of the citizens that keep putting evil men back in power’.

Float on.

In the movie ‘REVOLVER’ the quotes are: ‘You can only get smarter by playing a smarter opponent’, The more sophisticated the game, the more sophisticated the opponent’. That’s why it is one of my most cherished ‘grown folks’ movies.

Now tell me why all these knuckleheads are ridiculing Coach Prime at the University of Colorado Buffaloes college football team? Coach Prime lost a football game which for the sake of his players he knows it taught them an invaluable lesson. I mean beyond the simple fact that it is a status check on where the program stands. It is an indispensable comparison tool to know where the ‘bar’ is set for building a mentally tough tenaciously sound football team which the Buffaloes did not come close to meeting.

I’ll recall again a ‘call of growth’ to my oldest son when he was complaining about how his life was with his mother and father. I’d acknowledged his pain, but I also emphatically told him that nobody cared either. The world would not lower the standards for honorable success because you don’t want to meet it. My oldest called me about 3 New Years ago and told me I had a son out there. Yes, I was baffled by his confession because I was wondering was this actually the same son I had to lay hands on to help him corral his anger as he revealed his appreciation to me.

No one that truly wants to rise to success in life, marriage, business, community, government or their purpose sets out to fail. The ‘task’ at hand simply demands more from you. It doesn’t ask if you think the standards are too high. It, life, simply wants to know if you want to achieve honorable success; are you willing to put the work behind it? Each and every achievement is unique and has its’ own requirements, but the formula for success has elements in all of them.

To Coach Prime, I know all your football players won’t make it, but I hope if they stay that they play their role as effectively as they can. In the end, I know you’ll have some calls from young men down the road profusely thanking you for holding them accountable. I mean watching them get mad at having to step up their game or not play is on them.

My son actually raised my grandson who is now in college by the way. Yeah, tell me about it. I had my doubts, but I did what I was supposed to do as his father. I disciplined my children, not with cruelty, but with the rod of words 90% of the time. That other 10% was spanking their backside and I thank God it was enough.

My loyal www.landcause.com readers you’re not helping humanity by shielding human beings from the world. You’re harming them. No one can toughen up without having to face hardships and trials in some parts of their lives. Be a source of truth and accountability to them and they will thank you.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 3:12 for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

I love Coach Prime and the excitement he brings. If you’re hating on him don’t worry, you’re not the ones he needs to worry about to keep his position.

Be well.

THE WORD ‘GOD’ A CONTRANYM

The Word ‘God’ A ‘Contranym’

Foreword:

Trickster: Edition Two: The Doppelganger

Answer me this? How did humanity go from ‘Feed my sheep’ and ‘Follow me’ to a ‘certificate of achievement’ at baptism? Like baptism was elevated to mean that if you perform the ritual you’re somehow a ‘card’ carrying member of Heaven? From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Saint John 21 verses 17 and 19 you’ll find these excerpts I’ve listed in the second sentence above.

Welcome back my readers to another edition of the Trickster. I’ve always wondered why most so-called Christians after church revert back to their true natures once they’re one inch away from the ‘doors of the church’? Let’s get to exploring why that is the case.

This is why the design of humanity is actually flawless. Most people think of the consciousness of Adam and Eve being expanded was unforeseen by God, and thus if that is accepted as true then it is further evidence of an error on the part of the supreme deity.

If that is an acceptable conclusion, then a learned philosopher would say why did God leave the error in place? Maybe the almighty, in the beginning, knew all was not set in place, so it stands to reason that God knew that a creature made in his likeness must have free will. An ability all on its own to determine for itself what is right or what is wrong, and to choose virtue instead of subversion when given a choice.

————————–PAUSE———————————-

Before we go further, we must tackle 2 nagging question? Why did Jesus only choose sinners as his Apostles? Why would a sinner after being baptized feel ‘whole’ as if sin is no longer an issue for them?

The ‘why’ of Jesus only choosing sinners is because Jesus encountered and argued with men of doctoral knowledge of God. Those ‘men’ of vast knowledge didn’t need further salvation because they felt they already knew God. Who then could come ‘down’ from Heaven and teach them?

Those men of ‘doctoral’ knowledge about God didn’t need a teacher. Jesus came with factual knowledge of his Father. Jesus knew those so-called ‘doctoral’ holders of divine law couldn’t be taught a thing! Jesus came to teach those of his ‘Father’s’ creation from his ‘Father’s’ book. Not the ‘Book of Man’ at the time, but to teach his ‘Father’s’ creation from the word of the ‘Father’ himself.

That’s why I say now that Jesus chose the flawed because they were true to who they were. There is no faking about being healed. Just as a physician knows the signs of a ‘wound’ healing; the healer of spirits knows the signs of a soul when it starts to heal. No faking about being cured or knowing how to fake it in front of sinners like these so-called ‘ticket holders’ spue their fake piety to everyone.

Once a sinner is baptized that is only the beginning. You’re still a sinner! Duh? That is why 99 percent of all these so-called ‘pilgrimages’ to convert the sinners of the world aren’t effective. The so-called saved have been sold a bag of coins with holes in it. They’ve been made to believe they are different from the people standing before them! They are still sinners just like them!

The approach of a ‘baptized’ soul should be from a point of view of caring because they are speaking to an equally empty soul eager to add to their learning about God. Instead their misguided ‘teachers’ fill their heads up with a superior mindset, common throughout history, but they should teach them to be humble as they both are in search of salvation.

————————PAUSE——————————

Now the view is becoming clearer as to why so-called Christians believe that is all they had to do was get baptized and the deal is sealed. These so-called Christians felt liberated that they ‘TRICKED’ God into making it easy to get to Heaven. So-called Christians would say, ‘I’d take that suckers deal any day’.

That’s why the ‘Legacy Media’ of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX have all hyped up the ‘clergy’ as if they’re somehow exempt from us commoners to do the will of God even after baptism. Hence the Catholic child sex scandals. Priests having more girlfriends than the local ‘Mac Daddy’. A priest helping Donald Trump in Georgia pressure an election worker to subvert the tenets of her job. Rudolph Giuliani say ‘truth isn’t truth’ and believe it.

These people have been given the cloak of false virtue by their stooges and the Legacy Media. America’s mayor? Yeah right. Must be nice to have White privilege and broadcast it over the airwaves without fear of pushback isn’t it? Now you have pushback, tricksters!

We attach righteousness to the unrighteous. Why do you think those so-called Christians voted for Donald Trump? Because their ‘ticket’ to Heaven in their mind has already been punched! They don’t need to worry about destroying the very country they claim God created just for them. What a crock of ‘Ka Ka’. It’s German for human feces.

White privilege is a destructive force that is being torn down every day. When you have evil being given the go ahead based on Heaven is locked in; there isn’t a need to examine your own behavior. Why? When you got your so-called Christian card stamped long time ago. I told you I would find out why so-called Christians believe they can ‘resume’ their evil ways one inch outside of their so-called ‘house of worship’.

It is all a façade. These so-called Christians ‘EvanDevicals’ will never know God. Let me say this and I’ll end this ‘Trickster’ Doppelganger edition.

‘Righteous people are righteous whether they walk through the shadow of death or in the light’.

Finish it.

THE WORD ‘GOD’ HAS BECOME A ‘CONTRANYM’

The Word ‘God’ has become a ‘Contranym’

Foreword:

Trickster Edition: Inaugural Talk

First, it is not of God to lie. Why then would so-called Christians profess they love God, but everything they do in his name is opposite what he teaches?

Why did it take Martin Luther King Jr. to ask White church goers to stand up to evil from the altar of their so-called churches?

Why would so-called God fearing White Christians then choose to believe the evil being shouted from their pulpits? Why would these parishioners revel in their company?

To not let this discussion be hijacked by those who’s made it their business to distort God’s word by keeping people from actually reading the Holy Bible for the truth it holds.

That is why it is so easy for so-called Christians to do evil. The right or wrong doctrine doesn’t even hold or serves to sway them away from being suckers for their so-called spiritual leaders.

Yes, the word God means reverence. Reverence in upholding the way of righteousness, but it also now means permission to do all the evil you want in the name of God.

Sounds insane doesn’t it? Check out Jeremiah 7:30 and Mark 9:39. All the cliches doesn’t begin to characterize the blatantly clear evidence of that being the case throughout each and every period of so-called enlightenment on Earth.

Let me stop right here to allow those listeners/readers that want to leave to leave. I’m going to talk for enough of a period of time on this post, but it won’t be the only time I talk about this injustice. A few more seconds to allow any listener to select another podcast episode of another content provider.

——-Okay——-

Three words to continue this initial ‘trickster’ edition. Truth, Good, an Old.

Why would people that profess they are ‘Christians’ with their mouths spue hatred every chance they get when they’re an inch away from a (real) church of God?

Why would they praise and worship a man placing razor wire in his fellow human being’s way? It says not to in Romans 14:13. I’ll bet Governor Abbott of Texas is offered the chief seats in the synagogue for his malice.

Truth Social? Really? Truth isn’t truth isn’t that what Mr. Rudolph Giuliani said? I submit to everyone now that this is simply a continuation of how humankind has always reversed and distorted the word of God for money, power and plain old dominion over others.

Good. That former Governor of Alaska said that the people that desecrated the United States capital on January 6^th, 2020 were the ‘good guys’. More twisted meanings.

Old people. So now even when human beings are blessed to become honored elder; they should be scorned and discarded for being useless vessels. Mind you, none of the other presidential candidate for the office have an idea how to dig dirt out of the ground; let alone the tried and success under pressure to stop the spiraling descent into madness of the United States.

I have a question. How many of you know why the founders of America deliberately excluded fealty to a religion, or the establishment of religion as a system of government?

Did it have something to do with the history of where the people that seized America originated? I’m a subscriber to a very well-known international encyclopedia publisher. One example I will share from Britannica here. In Germany, around 1598, the population had to conform to the religion of the ruler. Meaning the ruler set the methods of worship. Yes that means he approved or disapproved of how the population met his standards.

That’s why the U.S. Constitution forbids the establishment of religion as a system of government. Religion in the hands of anybody in charge is sheer madness!

Look, I’m running out of time. We’ll have to pick this up in our next Trickster Edition. Until that time I’ll leave you with this. It is the confusion that leads people to rejection. Rejection leads people to defiance. Defiance leads people to actively doubt what you say. When you doubt it is well-known that doubt means something cannot be trusted.

Now the word of God not being trusted to a fool is utterly damning because the word is a ‘guide’. Luke 1:79 says so.

Before I say this last statement I will emphatically state that everyone has the right and ability to not know about any subject that they wish to remain uninformed.

As for myself, not knowing the reason that a relic of history is being reinstalled in our system of government is blasphemous! If you do not wish to have knowledge of a corrosive edict established to control thought, I do not have a problem with that.

I, want to know why? Why did historical Europeans force religion upon their societies? Why did they seek to install it by force in every corner of the world? Why then within at least the ‘word’ in the Holy Bible of 2 Peter 1:20 it says no ‘private interpretation’?

If not knowing something is a sign of strength for you, I’d say more power to you. Not knowing something to me is a sign of weakness. My mind is not weak. I want to know why? If you don’t have the gift of reasoning that’s okay. Many do not. Everyone has the ability to be shown right from wrong.

Oh, please. I’ll get to the United States Supreme Court and their assertions that religion guides their rulings. Just wait. I’ll turn a 100 million pages of history in my quest to find out. I must know why!

Article 8: Thou Shalt Not Lie Before A Lie is Told

Two parts to this article edition that will continue a ton of ridicule. First what grown ass White Man running for President from Florida is afraid of a question from a 15 year old teenager? Second what grown ass brown man is dusting off the ‘Book of Lies’ from the Republican Party to rile up the ignorant amongst us who isn’t already riled up?

Okay you’ve pushed me. I’ll start with Governor DeSantis of Florida. Let me see if I got this straight first. I’m not concerned what that teenager’s question to the Governor was. What I’m concerned with is all the blind followers of that blind Governor want to fall in the pit with him? If the Governor can’t handle a question from a teenager, a teenager mind you that doesn’t possess the honed and rigorous skills of deceit and trickery of a Vladimir Putin. Tell me then why would we put the Gov across the table from a killer like Putin seeing that the Gov is so afraid of a 15 year old?

My role as a philosopher and a writer is to cultivate enlightenment with the ultimate aim of helping all of us to understand that whether we like it or not we need people to play their role. You say what is their role? Face it, if a person wants to continue as a criminal knowing the predestined outcome, let them. If a person wants to change, let there be a light (people) to help them change. If a person is wrong, tell them they are wrong once and leave it be!

The second part is bursting with bewilderment. I’ve written before on the subject of the vast necessity of government when it comes to our national defense. I think it was on the topic of building aircraft carriers and submarines. I believe I said let’s let say a Vivek Ramaswamy gain the office of President of the United States and fire 75 percent of the ‘administrative’ state as he vowed. Who now has the knowledge and expertise to verify for the U.S. Navy that the aircraft carriers and the submarines they just purchased are designed and built to standards needed to defend the country?

No, a lot of idiots are cheering on this clown with the help of our ‘Legacy Media’ as if what Mr. Ramaswamy is saying is worthy of assessment. So, I don’t want to hear that nobody believes this guy because the idiots in America believe Mr. Ramaswamy and the ‘Legacy Media’? Remember what I’ve always said about 2 things can’t be true at the same time. That’s one of my examples proving that even what I’ve been saying is wrong!

Okay, let me break it down for all the sensible people in America. You know that neighbor that works on his car. No mechanic can touch it. I mean this person even changes the oil right in the driveway. Question? Would you believe this person still has other people working on the vehicle?

If you said yes, you are correct. If you said no, you are wrong. The yes answer knows the ‘shade tree’ mechanic still has to buy parts from somebody that makes them. The oil from somebody that refines it. Disposal of toxicants must be done by an accountable business.

When I hear all these Republican clowns still playing the same ‘tunes’ I’ve heard since I was coming of age in the early 1980’s I’m flabbergasted they still work!

The ‘ADMINISTRATIVE STATE’ is the ‘grease’ the ensures the wheels of government keep turning. I mean, has anybody heard that before? Why do these ‘carnival barkers’ show up out of nowhere to tell the fools exactly what they want to hear?

All these clowns do is help fools put themselves in jail! Please please please stop this crap ‘Legacy Media’ of portraying these people who commit crimes because someone tells them to as being gullible political pawns. They are not pawns. The people who’ve been charged with crimes because of their association with Donald Trump are right where they want to be!

I can tell you with almost certainly when I learned that lesson. I believe I was around 8 or 9 years old when I did something because somebody else did it. You know what my mom said as she readied her ‘strap of discipline’? ‘Stop letting somebody else make a fool out of you’ as my beating commenced. Got it! Don’t need to repeat that subject.

That’s the only time I needed to be taught that lesson. Are you seriously saying that none of those grown as men and women, mostly White, never heard that lesson? I know the 2 Black idiots heard it before. How do I know that? I know because no Black person who has lived in America has escaped being scolded for something. That’s not possible at least in the South. I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama a place I know you got lessons on how to behave as soon as you could comprehend them. If you don’t know what I mean, don’t worry about it.

So, citizens of good conscience and hope for America. The next time you see a grown ass White man running from the scrutiny of a 15 year old teenaged male; disqualify that candidate from your list immediately.

If you hear a Republican candidate say again he’ll eliminate 75 percent of the ‘administrative state’, ask him are you going to certify our air traffic controllers? Are you going to inspect our food supply? Are you going to test and prepare for the next pandemic? Are you going to make sure the military is supplied with the weapons that comply with our military leaders rigorous requirements?

Didn’t Ramaswamy say he would run the Federal Government like Elon Musk is running Twitter or X? By the way, who names a company after a moniker that symbolizes adult entertainment? I’m not disparaging adult entertainment more than it is, but that’s not the memory hole I’d want my business to go down. Oh, and my prediction since everybody is making one. ‘X’ will go the way of MySpace. Just because you got money and most of the talking heads in the ‘Legacy Media’ are kissing your ass doesn’t mean you know what you’re doing.

Citizens, stop taking the bait because you think you are insulated from the troubles that everyone else may be having in America. No matter your economic standing, everybody eats from the same ground. Everybody breathes the same air, and everybody wants to see the Sun rise the next day. Demand to be spoken to with some respect. Demand the truth.

Oh, a footnote. I apologize for the delay in my podcast being on the website. I was under the weather the last week. I will give it the old college try once again on Monday 4 September, 2023. The podcast is called ‘OUT-IN-BLACK’ on Spotify. Check it out.

Issue 2: What Coping Skills Are: What Coping Skills Are Not

Coping skills have somehow settled into a low level grouping that’s unfortunately akin to a ship loaded with cargo never leaving a safe harbor. The cargo is bought and paid for, but the risk borne by the deliver is separated from the process. What then you ask? Most people delay the voyage until the cargo wears down the vessels it rests within.

Yes, even iron starts to rust if it stays too long in an environment directly exposed to the elements. The greatest element is the passage of time. Time when it comes to avoiding confronting an issue is like stacking heavy items over their recommended limits. That’s an example of what coping skills are not. Coping skills are not used to avoid addressing what issue is tormenting you. Coping skills used in such a manner are an added weight over the recommended limits of the time you have to get out from under the issue.

In other words, start to lessen the weight bearing down on the parts of your life beneath it. That’s what coping skills are. Coping skills are used to give you some breathing room until you clearly identify the issue. After that, coping skills must be slowly pushed aside so you can clearly advance directly at the issue you’re having. Only then will you face the issue you’re having and not wallow in avoidance of the issue falsely believing using coping skills that way is helping the matter be resolved.

Now to review. Cargo is always offloaded. Metaphorically your mind is designed to offload things that are unneeded or irrelevant also. Physically, the human body is quick to discard something inside it that it deems unnecessary. If your stomach has something on it that doesn’t sit well you will be immediately notified to tell the body to run. Run somewhere cause it’s coming back up! Spue it out. If you have a sudden and violent bowel movement you would scramble to the nearest toilet.

Remember this very important point again. If you can’t sort through an issue of the mind please seek the counsel of a licensed professional.

I will refer to the Holy Bible. I use the Holy Bible authorized King James version as a trusted reference, and to verify that the way is clear how to sort through the issues of life. The Holy Bible is not my only source of reference mind you. I couldn’t shame or prod these so-called Christian people to let it be shared in simple understandable terms. Those assumptions I’m happy to say if I also indulged would deliver the same erroneous knowledge I thought the clergy possessed. Baggage offloaded.

It’s okay people. Use coping skills in ways that allow you to get a metaphorical breather which purposefully can give you the energy to get at your issues from a renewed position of strength. That’s normal. You don’t need to believe you have to stay with an issue until you resolve it. If you’ve given it enough attention to fill a day, then give it a rest. It’ll still be there. Maybe even putting an issue aside for a while can open new possibilities you couldn’t see because you were hell bent on getting it resolved.

That is another part of what coping skills comprise. An ability to know when to keep at an issue, and when to set it aside until you can put more energy towards it.

It is fine to do that. Just know yourself better first. Look, the problems we all face are different and similar at times, but let them be handled with personal responsibility. If that isn’t enough, then seek the help if you are able. If you aren’t equipped internally to counsel others or yourself, then make sure you refer them and yourself to a professional.

Now from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Luke 6:48. I’m not going to insert the entirety of the verse here, but I will share my understanding of the words and the meanings behind the words. It speaks of a man (which could be any human being) that chose a rock to build his house. He dug deep in laying his foundation.

Right there I take the instruction to mean that a search was made for the right information. Once the information was found and verified to be accurate; the person dug deep to securely trap the knowledge so it would serve whatever needs required of him by not faltering under the stressors that would beat against it. (Don’t try me. It takes time to properly dig, lay and settle a foundation. Be stupid somewhere else, not here!).

You can’t be shaken or shifted by the force of issues because they bring with them strong currents that will seek to knock you off your footing. So, I take the meaning to be that strong forces will crash against your fortifications. In order for them to withstand blow after blow after blow; you must have your defenses and counter offenses already established and settled. Then you just have to bring them to bear every time you’re under attack with the confidence you’ve built strong mental defenses and offenses that will hold!

This is what everyone faces. Human issues. The avoidance of these issues of life is what I’ve seen is the enemy that defeats most people. Pretend issues are not there. Right? I’ve asked probing questions since I was a little boy. I didn’t care what ‘time’ period covered the sensibilities of my parents. I wanted to know. If they couldn’t answer my questions because of some hush hush tradition, I did not overlay their beliefs as a governing philosophy over my life. Period!

Listen to me. I will close out this issue with this universal truth. ‘There are no off limits subjects in Therapy!’

Issue 15: These 2 Simpletons are Geniuses?

Allowing the ‘Legacy’ media to describe what supposedly happened to Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin inflicts a kindergarten rational over what could be concluded as a lack of personal awareness of the danger Prigozhin didn’t realize he faced, or Russia’s leader Putin charming him into believing all was forgiven. Either way I’m not seeing the heady guerrilla leader tradecraft by Prigozhin of knowing the playbook that governs mercenaries for hire. Where’s the evidence of his craftiness because if that’s all it took to be lured into a plane; I’m insulted by all the hype built up describing Prigozhin’s audacious and grand escapades.

Are you shitting me! A mercenary from my understanding being an Army combat veteran, there are some things you don’t leave to chance. Your survival first and foremost is planned well in advance of hooking up for jobs. Plans within plans within plans are laid out from the moment you’re immersed into the trade. Even if you get to know people along the way, you would never trust any of them not to sell you out for their mother’s silverware!

Now the ‘Legacy’ media will still fawn over Vladimir Putin’s allegedly ordering the murder of an asset while still describing the relationship between Prigozhin and Putin as if they were blood brothers. Listening to them drives the inane reporting that leaves the simple minded among us to believe those two buffoons had a falling out that resulted in one of them being murdered. I guess that’s part of again why the ‘Legacy’ media doesn’t get why more and more people are turning to alternate sources to get their news.

Stop talking about murderous people like they’re folk heroes! That’s why the ‘Legacy’ media doesn’t understand an aggressively changing world. Speaking of things from a ‘fat cat’ ignorance of arrogance mindset is played out. Don’t you get it? The world is evolving. America is evolving. People who were once so viciously oppressed by the majority race in America, White people, is no longer the reality in America.

Oh, and by the way. Suppressing change was a fool’s endeavor ‘any who’. Just like propping up a system of bondage as if it would last through the eons of time as an example of prosperity. What a ludicrous buffoonish group of people slave owners were. Also what a clown car bunch of knuckleheads that believe in racial superiority. I keep saying it. Money, the love of it, drove the evil of slavery. All the Republicans trying to ‘clean up’ their direct ancestor’s legacies have again embarked on a stupid mission that reveals how ignorance never dies. It’s just reborn in succeeding generations.

Summing up the frustration surrounding the description of murderous men. I don’t see any statecraft from Vladimir Putin nor did I see any mercenary tradecraft from Yevgeny Prigozhin. I could get more combat wisdom from a three year Infantry Sergeant than what I’ve seen on display concerning those 2 simpletons.

Oh, I long for the days of real ‘players’ in dangerous industries spoken of by their demonstrated skills and abilities. Not their made up narratives by ‘Legacy’ media (In case you forgot that’s ABC, NBC, CBS & all newspapers and magazines) ignoramuses.

Yevgeny Prigozhin was supposed to be this tough guy. This great mercenary army leader just walks into a kill box? Vladimir Putin hiding in corners from inevitable threats; he will never know which way they’re going to come for him. Geniuses? Lord help me.

Issue 14: Funny Business

Why don’t we call it what it was? The attempt at trickery to curry the favor of a woman. Why would a police chief, even one of a small Kansas sorghum (sour gum, my attempt at country talk), corn shucking, wheat bread hick backward ass town order a raid on a newspaper? The Marion County Record was following a story. Who in power in their right mind would use the power of the law (obviously this police chief is ignorant of) to go after another person over a beef he has nothing to do with?

Who does that? Who puts his reputation, his standing, his career on the line for anybody else let alone a woman? Don’t get me wrong. I love women, but like I told all my loyal readers if I am to commit a crime it will be something that happened to me and me only. I’m not here to bow my chest out for a woman who clearly had beef with that local newspaper. I’m just at a lost in understanding why this keeps happening. Oh well, I’ll stay in the bliss of my stupidity on that.

I’m going to end this issue with GovSantis. Before I do I’m going to speak about why we need people, men, women, nonconforming human beings that know who they are.

President Joe Biden is an old man. How did he obtain such a high elder status? From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible will be where all verses originate. Proverbs 20:29 tells us of the glory of young men and the status of old men. The old man has a gray head. The wording means to convey that old people have wisdom. What does wisdom do for you? Wisdom changes the thoughts of the people that possess it.

President Joe Biden’s appearance proves this. In the Ancient periods of this worlds’ history recorded or not; the gray head was a sign that men and women were translated. Translated in the ancient tongue meant to, convert or evolve, to become something greater than your beginning, under stressful and pressure situations causing a noticeable physical change indicating higher thought processes. So the ‘gray head’ is not to be misunderstood as just having ‘gray hair’. It symbolized that the appearance is altered because the person understands life more in a state of heightened awareness.

Luke 6:38 states that you should give wholeheartedly without fear or favor. President Joe Biden was not required to worry about whether there would be workers to fill the jobs his legislation created. President Joe Biden was not told to put a ‘governor’ (restraints for those who oppose the truth) on the results of his vision so that it wouldn’t overrun the people, American citizens, for whom he was told to deliver this prosperity! I’m about to drop my podcast people. My conviction and joy will be voiced soon!

Now compare President Joe Biden’s ‘gray head’ to the ‘heads’ of all the (I will be nice) youngsters vying to replace him. On the Democratic side you have a couple of quacks (can’t be nice all the time), and on the Republican side you have folks running for President that can’t say whether Donald Trump is wrong for America!

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is just another candidate ‘lost in the sauce’ of his own recipe. DeSantis has made Florida a pariah. He in his attempt to put a stop to ‘full participation of all races, creeds, nationalities, sexual orientations and gender identities have thrown every buffoonery ‘technique of evil trickery’ at people and none of it was accepted. Imagine a few Republican knuckleheads in Florida’s legislature writing into law every old ‘trope’ for the Gov. He has weaponized them all and low and behold. They all have blunt edges!

This stuff can’t be made up! It’s like America has seen this playbook dusted off and plays run out of it for centuries, but to the dismay of the Republicans, the other team, the Democrats and freedom loving people, have finally fielded a formidable team of their own.

I get it believe me I do Republicans. I mean I would be lamenting the facts of old that I could control all the narratives. All the flows of information from government office holders down to the inbred police force. That reality is gone forever Republicans. If you could feel my joy as I write the words of this post, they would sound just as good if you heard my voice!

The ‘Funny Business’ is over. Oh we know the Republicans will never stop shoveling their shit to the ignorant so-called Christians among us. That’s okay. We’ll keep a hole dug to bury their bullshit as quick as they shovel it out.

Issue 1: False Start: Officially Start With the Right Playbook

I’ve got to start with this gem. I can’t tell you how many patients, people, friends and talking heads on television have expressed this statement countless times. ‘If you haven’t suffered from a condition you’re incapable of helping me sort through it’. Hold on, let me make my comparison analogy. So, if I show up to the emergency room at a hospital with a gunshot wound. I ask the doctor, him or her, if they’ve experienced being shot? If the answer is no, then they cannot possibly operate on me if they don’t know what it’s like to be shot. You get the gist.

Wow! Is right. See, that’s what happens when mental health gets a lower billing than physical health. You leave the expertise to everybody and their know-it-all cousin to be the bedrock of knowledge in the field. Oh, you’re right. What you just thought about? Yeah, after years of higher education from accredited institutions with licenses to boot; you still get that response from patients when they ask you a question after you say you’ve never overdosed on fentanyl.

Full disclosure I will be a licensed therapist in 2 years notwithstanding I’ve spent the last 5 years in mental and behavioral health at a licensed hospital. Will it continue to occur these answers from all these suffering (patients) experts? Oh sure, you bet. That’s the fault of the mental health industry, and all the quackery that our psychological history laid down behind us.

Nevertheless, we have to raise up this field to the honor it deserves. Reining in the noise of patients, sufferers, and some industry professionals squeamish about going full bore into the mire of mental health will not deter those of us that want this change to occur.

Yes I’ve been falsely accused of crimes by patients in my years in mental health. Yes I’ve been physically injured by patients in mental health. Yes I’ve been left hanging by the Behavioral Hospital (you know what I mean). All of that did not and will not deter me from fulfilling a need that is spoken of righteously in scripture. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Luke Chapter 8 verse 35…’They found the man clothed and sitting at the feet of Jesus in his right mind’…

Mental health work is righteous work. Granted it is not for the feint of heart, but the rewards are immeasurable encompassing the assistive nature of this work. Listen to me, therapy is a two person activity engagement. Forget that dumb shit you see in the movies and on television. I’m going to tell you; I’ll refer a patient to another provider in a minute if he or she doesn’t want to do the work!

Professionals have got to keep the business professional. Mental health shouldn’t be any less critical or ‘lesser than’. ‘Being unified’ with physical health is the key to humanity’s’ overall health.

Be well everybody.

Issue 11: On a Wayward Journey?

Skills gained as a result of slavery? Skills gained as a result of brutality? Skills gained as a result of the White ‘Massa’? This is no time for laughter. It is a time to honor the resilience of African slaves and their descendants in America. I will start with the point I’m making and explain it afterwards.

So, the defiance, the gumption, the audacity of African slaves to not just retain their humanity, but keep practicing it under unspeakable cruelty is because of their heritage and strength of fidelity to African principles. Africans and their descendants under slavery knew who they were long before they were enslaved. Africans and their descendants under slavery never sought validation under the White ‘Massa’. In conclusion African Americans descending from African slaves know where they come from and need not look to ‘Republican White or Republican Hispanic or Republican traitorous Black Men and Women’ to recount, recite or revise our history to us. We already know what happened to our ancestors, and we will never distort, dishonor or degrade their legacy given to all of us!

What did Maya Angelo say? ‘When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time’. It can be angering to listen to Republicans and their ilk try their damned best to distort all the atrocities committed by White people in furtherance of slavery in America. What I don’t get is why? Why do some Black people and seemingly a large swath of Hispanics don’t believe them? Do you really think that Republicans are ‘joking around’ when they spit in the face of their history against you?

Do you really believe that these Lost Cause White Christian Nationalist Republicans want to bring you into their party their ‘cause’ as equal members? Oh, sorry, forgive me. They want to bring Blacks, Hispanics and anyone else they deem inferior to them in as subjugates. We are ‘Spirits in the Material World’ indeed.

Hopefully the 2 Black Republicans were duped, yes I’m being kind, but I’m still not offering redemption. It is not surprising to me to see Black folks making fools of themselves for White people. What I don’t get again is why? For what purpose in furtherance of what goal? What were these 2 Black Republicans offered to betray their ancestors? I just need to know why!

If I were one of the citizens of Florida I would ask Governor Ron DeSantis why he is doing this? Why is he perverting the truth of our ancestral Black History in America? Furthermore, why does he hate Florida so much? Does he not understand that Florida will be the ‘punchline’ of jokes for decades if he doesn’t rescind his perversion of Black history? Honestly, I don’t think the Governor of Florida will stop there. I believe wholeheartedly Math will be his next target. I can’t wait to see 9 + 9 = 2 in soon to come revised Math books.

Oh, don’t believe me? Let me remind you of what Republicans have already done. Roe vs. Wade rescinded. So-called Christians can now discriminate according to the U.S. Supreme Court. Governor Abbott of Texas serving up atrocities like an ordinary restaurant menu. Donald Trump praising a lunatic wanna be dictator in Russia as a genius. Auburn University racist former football coach placing a halt to America’s military readiness. Teachers have to stand in front of their class and flat out lie about American History. Women can’t practice their healthcare without fear of political interference. LGBTQ+ and transgender people have to again hide in the shadows for fear of death. Should I go on?

All this lashing out by Republicans is because they are ‘upset’ that they no longer can own the ‘airwaves’ unchallenged. Remember ‘darkened’ O.J. Simpson? Remember every major network newscast filled with images of negative stories about Black people? All those moves are now countered by truthful voices of ‘I beg to differ sir’. I don’t like Fox News, but the major television networks created Fox News because they themselves were biased against the truth!

You see that’s what happens when technology gives people whose voices were never ‘amplified’ the chance to correct the record. The chance to present a totally ‘different’ point of view. In my assessment everybody in America is to blame for the ‘period’ we are in now. What ‘period’ is that you say?

The ‘period’ of truth telling long suppressed can never be so again. Welcome to the ‘age’ of innocence! Now no voice will be silenced by those voices yelling over the top of them drowning them out. Our ‘journey’ has a course now. We know how to respond to distortion. The message is ready. Is there a channel open?

Channel open sir!

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

ISSUE 14: The Wind Blows Who Knows Definitely It Shows Now

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

First let me start by correcting the record. It was ‘2’ Black Conservative Republican Scholars that wrote the entirety of the revised standards on ‘slavery’ in America. Amusing to be right when God has given me 57 years of life in flawed America. Now to explain my conclusion which is rooted in scripture.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Saint John Chapter 3:8…The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whence it goeth: so is every one that is born of the spirit…

Translated. It means everybody has the right to absorb, learn, interpret any learning or metaphysical covering (matters than transcend the carnal nature of humanity) however way is palatable for their consumption.

Translated further. Spirituality is measured and complete when issued, but how it is understood and used depends on the enclosure that receives and engulfs it. Just because God giveth it doesn’t foretell it will be used according to the provided directions (Holy Bible).

Oh it is a joyous occasion I’m sure when a ‘soul’ is saved. I got news for those who think that is the highlight of the ritual. It’s not. Thud. Now to the point of this issue. I was watching Governor DeSantis of Florida speaking on how he’d break the law and mistreat human beings with his judge, jury and executioner ‘Deviltry’ mandate. Just cause the wind blew upon you, touched you, doesn’t mean it will create the desired ‘heart of Jesus’ effect on anybody!

That’s what was told to us by Jesus in the verse above. We don’t know if someone is a Christian just because you heard them voice back memorized passages of scripture. You didn’t know that? Are you being serious right now? ‘Try the person standing before you by his or her deeds right?’ ‘Faith without works is dead’. Maybe Governor DeSantis should audition for a role on the Walking Dead.

This is a righteous call to anybody working for these evil men. Governor DeSantis of Florida and Governor Abbott of Texas gives you an unlawful directive that demands you violate the human rights of anybody; I’m telling you you’d better refuse to carry it out! After I left active duty Army and entered the Army Reserves, I met a female Army staff sergeant veteran that did tours of duty at the Federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas. She recounted several stories of stupidity by soldiers of all ranks who obeyed unlawful orders.

Let me tell everybody following the insightful nature of my stories and digital periodicals. All soldiers in the Army no matter rank are empowered to disobey any and all unlawful orders. We are trained to know what they are. We are drilled about the ‘no excuse’ consequences if we fail to do so.

Now I’m going to be straight up honest with everybody. I told my soldiers and civilians if you choose to do a crime; make sure you’re the only one that knows about it. If you get caught is because you fucked up the crime yourself. Do not go to jail for anybody; I would tell them it applied double to me.

The Wind Bloweth as it Showed us it touched them when it crossed in the direction they were standing. The evil these two Governors of Florida and Texas presented clear evidence of such. That’s the direction, their choice, clearly ‘telling’ us where the ‘wind’ is blowing them.

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 3: Episode 1: The Crushing Presence of a Black Hole

Part One: The Danger is Almost Undetectable for the Unwise

Prologue:

(Weakness? Why do we misapply weakness? Human beings cannot help themselves sometimes as they try to explain why injustice occurs. For instance, injustice is the strong applying their kind (after his kind-Genesis 1:11) of justice to those that cannot defend themselves properly. By properly I mean with adequate defense council when the strong accuses the ‘weak’ of a wrong committed against their rules.

Mother Sayer has long vexed her mind on where weakness if it at all applies to what facet of her life. The discovery came to her at a most appropriate time as she experienced great success in her business. She was using the wrong word all along. Being ‘MEEK’ is more in tune with her spiritual walk than spreading a misunderstanding of weakness to the women and men she has empowered in her life.

To be ‘meek’ is to be in the ancient definition of the word ‘compassionate’. Being ‘meek’ is being ‘supportive’ of those you care about. Those that expect you to ‘live’ the right example as much as you express it. Being ‘reverent’ to a spiritual father and to his creation.

Mother knows that ‘weakness’ is assigned to a less powerful adversary under threat from an unjust ruler seeking their submission. Whereas ‘weakness’ isn’t an unfortunate standing or place to be as those of us that mock it. Weakness is the opportunity to realize a foe may possess more than enough ability to make you submit. As such, what a wise and perceptive person would do is to look at ways to help the doubtful counter the things that are erroneously conceded as weakness with skills, a change in circumstances or seek allies.

Mother is thankful that Mr. Ableman Sayer married her mother after he got to meet her children. The proper application of every human condition as well as the spectrum of emotions is crucial to navigate the complexities of life. That is why she reaps what she sows in her business.).

Mother Sayer: (The work is meaningful. Sometimes a situation arises that needs her attention. It doesn’t happen that often that she has to sever ties with an associate. It is important that she treats everyone with respect and that means hearing both sides of the story.). Who am I in conference with today Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: This one young lady that is having a difficult time with her Team Manager. The manager’s name is Bridarey Mustavioon. The associate’s name is Hailovay Briengitty. Bridarey is pronounced ‘Bri’dare’ree’ ‘Must’tave’ve’on’. Hailovay is pronounced ‘High’low’vay’ ‘Bring’It’tee’.

Mother Sayer: I’m listening.

Sarah W. Certainty: The dispute from what I could gather is that Ms. Hailovay is super energetic and full of suggestions, but her supervisor shoots all her ideas down.

Mother Sayer: Keep going.

Sarah W. Certainty: It seems that Mrs. Bridarey is threatened by her. That is the picture I’m getting from the other team members. They want to run with the high energy Ms. Hailovay is throwing off all around them, but making the flame of the ‘forge’ larger seems to turn up the heat on Ms. Mustavioon’s leadership.

Mother Sayer: Forgive my little pause to process my thoughts Sarah. I’m discarding a common ‘energy’ dampener that lingers around my head from time to time. (Mother sees Sarah’s normal inquiry look and she explains). It’s the ‘Black Hole’ effect I call it. I’m still assuming that executive leadership in every highly successful business warns all their leadership staff to actively avoid.

Sarah W. Certainty: What exactly?

Mother Sayer: I tell you what. We’ll visit six of the large projects we’re hoping for significant outcomes. You’re good at a lot of the skills that foretell human motivations. Listening without your ears. Seeing without your eyes. When we finish our rounds today though, you’ll know what exactly I mean by ‘higher perceptions’ for yourself.

——————————1^st Interlude——————————

(‘My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and my ways are higher than your ways’. Mother has consistently stayed on this path she believes has elevated her. The ‘First Father’ does things no one else does. The ‘First Father’ thinks spiritually. Does that fact make his consideration on what and how to act incomprehensible to his creation?

This is how she has trained herself for years now. Lose the ‘cliches’ and bring humanity back to its’ natural creative state. Talking like someone that has learned all the right words to say so the ‘Dear Leader’ doesn’t feed them to the pigs defines the word ‘stupid’. I’d rather the pigs fight over all the white and dark pieces of my meat Mother thinks.

Mother forcefully repeats this challenge to herself. ‘Keep ahold of that line. The one you just snagged has creativity on the other end. Pull with all your might lady!’ I don’t want the ‘chief seats’ in the synagogue. I want what I can bring forth. That is my higher thought.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother has the six files on her desk and as she ruffles through them to verify these are what she asked Sarah to bring her. She is satisfied her orders were carried out and loads the files in her shoulder tote.). Sarah, think of what we’re about to do as what the Army would call ‘a check on learning’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Alright, just to review the list and our first stop. I have here the SAFE ROAD Project is an attempt to rework the way mental health disorders and substance use disorders are treated. The MODEL Project has as its’ stated goal the complete recruitment, development and advising of the potential leaders of America.

The FIRST BORN Project software has a first version ready for testing. I’m aware that you see some religious angle for this product. Curiosity doesn’t engulf all of the questions I’m eager to get answered. The PLAYBOY Project addressed the immediate need to locate a downed aircraft anywhere in the world.

The BAD Project, short for Business Acumen Development, looks for those thinkers with a focused discipline coupled with adaptive views able to bring forth the abstract in viable projects to a workable industry. Wasn’t the first leader of this project demoted? Okay. The last project on the list is the one you put the most energy behind I heard.

The N’TIME Project, short for Notification and Timely Intercept in Mighty Human Events. Mother was and is highly hands on with this project. All that has been allowed to alter the safety and security of citizens going about their daily lives has struck her deeply. This software integrated with every city asset from police to fire and rescue is long outdated. This is changing right now she forcefully whispers to herself.

Oh, and hopefully the private and public sector will get on board with the potential this product has to make all Americans safer here and abroad.

Mother Sayer: (Mother was just lost in admiring her daughter, her Sarah, as she meticulously laid out the finer points of each project.). Wonderful Sarah, let’s go. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover today and some of it has landmines scattered beneath it.

Sarah W. Certainty: Show right you are.

Mother Sayer: Are you mocking me?

Sarah W. Certainty: I sure am.

Mother Sayer: (Sarah’s answer brings a smile to her face.). Good. We’re on the same page then. Let’s hit the N’TIME Project first. This one I’m telling you I’m expecting to be impressed by all my senses as I walk through their doors.

Sarah W. Certainty: The N’TIME Project? The one where Bridarey and Hailovay are in clashing? You’re going right to the project with all the issues first? Those two are formidable points on each end of a very ‘taut’ rope.

Mother Sayer: Good. I love it when there is no give on either side of a life and death issue.

Sarah W. Certainty: Meaning that both sides have valid points, but one side may be unduly stifling ideas and confidence.

Mother Sayer: That cannot be tolerated ever at my company. Even in the Army we have safeguards in place when leadership gives unlawful orders. Besides that, I don’t remember making anybody a ruler over a sector of my ‘kingdom’.

————————-2^nd Interlude————————

(The N’TIME Project was moved out of the Sacramento, California office when it reached the prototype stage. The testing will now be done at the home office of The ARC, Incorporated in Louisville, Kentucky. An internal memo was issued to all locations and personnel. It was an exciting time for the creators of the software. Now they were expected to bring ‘it home’ and score under the direct gaze of Mother Sayer.).

Mother Sayer: (The N’TIME Project was rehomed on the 3^rd floor of the building. Mother and Sarah were heading to that floor right now.). Now let’s see what they have for us Sarah.

Bridarey: Hello Mother. If you’ll come this way I have a mock up ready to show you how the N’TIME will be a huge upgrade in public and private safety for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

Mother Sayer: Alright. Lead the way.

Sarah W. Certainty: Did you hear how she spoke about her importance to the project? (Sarah says as she leans to whisper in Mother’s ear.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother gives Sarah a side glance and utters with her nasal passages a single word.). Uh-huh.

(The set up is cluttered with easily recognized haste as if this team wasn’t ready. Mother adds another observation of heaviness and negative conflict all too freely floating about in this room. Mother compiles this information but she holds her conclusion until she gets an explanation on why that is the case.).

Bridarey: Hailovay, begin the presentation and highlight all the features that I want Mother to know about now.

Hailovay: Let me start your presentation of the N’TIME Project. Where the police, fire fighters, and government official are more important to the purpose of the program. N’TIME uses cameras mounted on traffic lights, street signs and directional markers to track movement of negative activity. This as you say Mrs. Mustavioon is the best way for first responders and government official to know what’s going on and where it’s located.

Mother Sayer: There seems to be large areas that will go uncovered in that scenario wouldn’t it? What about office buildings? Don’t they have a chance to better secure their facilities with surveillance equipment on their property?

Bridarey: Let me stop you there Mother. I don’t know if there is time or the will for us to lobby companies to put up cameras to spy on their customers and employees. These companies probably wouldn’t go for that anyway.

Mother Sayer: Is that your assessment as well Hailovay? (Mother sees Bridarey with a stern look of disbelief on her face that Hailovay is not supportive or following the instructions Bridarey was very clear she should follow.).

Hailovay: I’m just presenting the information team leader Mrs. Mustavioon said I should and nothing more.

Bridarey: You’re certainly presenting the project details in a fashion that indicates this product was rushed to market on the cheap. So, no you’re not presenting it in a way that makes me look good to the boss.

Mother Sayer: Hailovay tell me specifically, what parts of this project that you believe could be better?

Hailovay: Besides all the ideas and logical scene projection formatting the illustrious team leader shot down as too broad? Well, let me start with sensor scrips designed to look like entry way welcome mats that record dynamic traffic. The kind of foot traffic you would get when people are rushing from a violent event.

Bridarey: I shot that down because…

Mother Sayer: You may continue Hailovay. (Mother says with the voice inflection of an Army Major.).

Hailovay: How come first responders when answering a call at a high rise, school, or a line of shitters has to ask fleeing, screaming human beings where is the aggressor?

Sarah W. Certainty: Why? (Sarah is eating this display of human disagreement greedily. Sarah also feels the energy cascading across this room going from negative to positive just like she said when she briefed Mother.).

Hailovay: No one ever gamed out or concluded the ‘time’ factor being crucial to life. Moving on to the public address system. Are we serious with that? Do we still ride horses to work or what? Do we still tap on a live wire to communicate across town? The world? Morse freaking code is still cutting edge technology?

Sarah W. Certainty: This system will tie in every advancement in technology to save ‘time’ and by purpose save lives? (Sarah takes over for Mother and speaks on her behalf as a right hand should).

Bridarey: Do I need to point out that all the team members agreed with me that her ideas were too radical.

Sarah W. Certainty: Do I need to point out that plans and management has an opening I hear. By clearly admitting you’re a ‘BLACK HOLE’ that all energy can’t escape from. I’m hearing you say we should drop some anti-matter down your throat to collapse the weight and darkness of your presence for this team.

Bridarey: Mother, I was working this project by the parameters you set for me. Sending liaisons to other companies to gather data on how to connect a network of surveillance equipment would’ve cost extensive ‘time’ and money. I decided against it.

Mother Sayer: We have a system in the Army that has worked for hundreds of years. That system allows ‘professional’, vigorous and most of the time strong disagreement of what the leader may want. A wise major told me once on an assignment we had together. He said, “Professionals should be able to have professional conversations”. It seems you’re not there yet.

Bridarey: That’s not how I learned about leadership.

Mother Sayer: Those of us that know better should help those lacking in certain abilities. I can share with you what I’ve learned about leadership and many more things that concern human beings. Are you willing to learn is a question you should ponder?

Sarah W. Certainty: Hailovay. Bring every idea to bear for the project to the floor for discussions. This is now your team.

Mother Sayer: Bridarey: It’s Wednesday, take the rest of the day off. See me in my office on Friday to discuss next steps to walk on your path here at the ARC.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah summons Hailovay over to sum up what just happened even if she has somehow managed to piece Mother’s reasoning together.). Hailovay there is strong conviction running roughshod through your mind and body. We can help keep your energy stores full, but to do that you have to comply with one request of ours.

Hailovay: Tell me what I must do.

Sarah W. Certainty: Be a sister. It is a tall order. The enlightenment is worth it if you be to us a sister as we will be to you a sister.

Hailovay: I want to be a sister.

Mother Sayer: Listen to me now. A machine can spit out a desired result if you feed it the information to search for and produce a solution. It would be asinine for me to not test the things about you that are written on paper. The ‘report’ that occupies a file in my records matches what I’ve now seen in person. Should that be all I should expect from you?

Hailovay: Meaning what exactly? You have my achievements according to established testing and licensing criteria. What more proof of my mental abilities do you need?

Mother Sayer: I want to know what mark are you going to carve into the annals of the ARC, Incorporated?

Hailovay: I will do the best job I can Mother.

Mother Sayer: Think back to what just happened Hailovay. Why do you think we replaced the lead for your team?

Hailovay: I suspect you did it because Mrs. Mustavioon wasn’t allowing the members of her team to dynamically input suggestions to make N’TIME the best product we can make it.

Mother Sayer: That’s correct Hailovay, but the reason we swapped out the two of you is this. We didn’t come in here blind. We knew what was happened on this project. How stymied every member of this team felt. Only we had to see it for ourselves before we made moves to stop the destructive consumption of energy in this room.

I’m sure you’ve had some Science courses you’ve passed with remarkable ease. One phenomenon I’ll say applies to what we’ve seen here today. The interactions and energy in this room I’d say was similar to the effects of a Black Hole.

Hailovay: Ah, yes. I see where you’re going with this. A Black Hole crushes light. Once something comes close there is no way it can escape its’ gravity. It sucks in energy. Ah, I see now.

Mother Sayer: That my dear is a failing of colonial style corporate America. My people didn’t write those rules, so guess what? I don’t follow rules I didn’t have a hand in creating.

Hailovay: I heard you don’t treat your people like knives being sharp we know are useful, until their edges become dull.

Mother Sayer: I sure don’t. Anybody can work anywhere and do a ‘job’ for years and be praised for it. What is the record of their life beyond that? Who did they help up to become what they imagined they’d become? Who inspires others?

We’re not seeds planted in the ground seeking their own parcel, water, and sunlight? We should be thinking higher than that. When I led my team on a ‘clip’ in Iraq; I had to consider everybody and everything. The mission and my soldiers were my responsibility. True leadership accepts all things. The successes and the failures without a ‘shadow’ of doubt.

Hailovay: I am only successful if my team is successful?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. The growth, development, job satisfaction are all elements that freely flow through the ‘space’ of this room. If I had to describe to you what I’ve always wanted to become, I’d say I inspire to be a planet with many moons circling it. You know every moon has its’ own orbit and they never collide with each other.

Hailovay: Yeah, I can be successful and root for my team as well.

Mother Sayer: That’s right. The planet must rotate and fly through space, but the moons also rotate and fly through space staying right on the planets’ ass.

Hailovay: (Hailovay laughs at this description and Mother knows she has understood her.). Yes Mother I’ll keep them around my ass.

————————3^rd Interlude———————–

(That was an intense finding and a fortunate discovery. Mother can believe her hiring process is defined, but it is more satisfying when an awesome hire lays it all out on the line unafraid of the corporate consequences. If you got the goods Mother always says bring it! Once you’re a

member of The ARC, Incorporated only Mother can part ways with you.

This is what she has dreamed about. Oh how she hated some comrades in the Army throwing their weight around. ‘Rank is not a shield against failure no more than it is a shield guaranteeing success’. Mother despised leaders in title only. A mentor by definition means sharing what you know with a willing mind. These are some of the tenets that have served Mother well.).

Mother Sayer: Sarah, I love how our thoughts are aligned.

Sarah W. Certainty: I noticed you didn’t tell Hailovay to watch herself when it comes to her team coming to her with advice and proposals. What’s that about?

Mother Sayer: Sarah my daughter. Parents can’t possibly know it all thus we can’t share it all. Everybody has a mandate to seek and find what they shall then know. Otherwise how will they weave wisdom and knowledge into their lives if they only hear it from others.

Sarah W. Certainty: You show right.

Mother Sayer: Stop it. (Mother draws these two words out.). Sarah, even though Hailovay is the planet; a moon is still a celestial body. By the way, moons have no effect on their planets do they?

Sarah W. Certainty: Our moon affects weather patterns. Ahh, I see what you did there. Another lesson lost on these folks. How many so-called leaders can we reasonably train that come to us?

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles.). That’s the energy question Sarah. We have to find them first and see if they fit. After that is when the fun starts, or not. A great many calculations lead to determinations which conclude with dedication. Who will dedicate themselves to doing it the right way?

Sarah W. Certainty: Power can only be contained within a ‘construct’ that is capable of holding it. Only then can it be directed to accomplish purposeful and glorious matters.

Mother Sayer: We know from examples that power has a will of its’ own which the untrained eye cannot see. Black people have a saying, ‘Pressure bust a pipe’. When we see power explode or implode we know the ‘construct’ used to hold it was inadequate. If the ‘construct’ couldn’t hold it, it certainly couldn’t wield it.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m glad I don’t work for a colonial descendent. My training would be all about ‘climbing’ the corporate ladder, or scheming among other low level employees driving blades into each other backs knowing it is all for the amusement of company executives. Executives who will never truly let us through the door.

Mother Sayer: What usually happens after ‘employees’ waste all that energy for a ‘job’ they will never excel doing, or be heard if they have ‘creative’ ideas to help that very company the ‘big wigs’ are actually running out of business.

Sarah W. Certainty: Because they already ‘made’ it in their estimation, so they don’t need to offer anything else. They already achieved their goal.

Mother Sayer: Yes. I’m looking for ‘creators’. Those innovators that come through the doors of my business so one day I will be in business with them. Corporate America? Only thing that comes from the CEO’s what I can tell is how to manage an orderly transition of going out of business.

Sarah W. Certainty: You’re right. Corporate America, it’s spotty when viewed without prime or preference. Apple, Google, and the computer chips industry innovate constantly. Everybody else just ‘rest up’ because they think success was an exhausting achievement.

Mother Sayer: It’s a simple concept Sarah. When something expands it more than likely extends out from the ‘middle’. Everything starts at the bottom that’s a given, but a company, a ‘human being’, an economy expands from the midsection first.

Sarah W. Certainty: I sure hope to God their head doesn’t expand. That’s funny. A ‘human being’. The reasoning is sound. Hopefully those are the result more than not here at the ARC.

Mother Sayer: Where to next?

————————-4^th Interlude——————————–

(Mother and Sarah make their way over to the BAD Project. The Business Acumen and Direction Project is really out of the planning stage. Upper body wear is currently being finalized. Mother makes a mental note that O’Woh said that ‘all ideas are retained and categorized’, but there still needs to be a phased approach to bringing them to the marketplace. I see some of his advice is being heeded.

Joppa, the team leader, must’ve learned somethings about human interactions that Sarah and I left out of the conversation. Point is, a leader has to remain dispassionate when perceived disagreements test their egos. Mother couldn’t tell you how many leaders lost the admiration of their followers with one single negative outburst.

Any ‘who’ Mother thinks, Tuaole Rilyzah is still a fine ‘arranger’ or guide or whatever she likes to be called I’ll respect the hell out of her. She holds it down and that’s her strength on display as she leads us to the doors of BAD.).

Mother Sayer: Joppa, greeting. Tell me how are you and the team is fairing today? I trust all is well.

Joppa: Hello Mother. Yes of course. I’m fine as well as the team. We just finished our individual ways of bringing ‘all that is good’ to our day.

Mother Sayer: Oh, that is wonderful. It is good to center or appreciate life thus to usher in all its’ blessings. How did you pronounce it? ‘Barakah’?

Joppa: Barakah. You bring good omens which I welcome will enhance and enrich all our lives. It means ‘divine blessing’ if I could simply share the purpose and practice portends to shower our decisions with continuity and spiritual guidance.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles a relational smile. A code clarifies and directs energies which if consistent brings results. Good or bad truthfully.). Then may I hope that we can be covered by the grace you and your team call for every day.

Joppa: (Joppa makes the gesture of his heart is good to see and be in Mother’s presence.). I do have updates to provide. The BAD Project has taken to market a limited number of designed shirts that carry messages. Some say, ‘Speak Truth and Live’, ‘Till Your Land’ with a picture of a brain, ‘Only One You Even If You’re a Twin’.

Mother Sayer: For what ultimate purpose?

Joppa: The messages are meant to highlight self-care. O’Woh is a formidable presence and he has shared with the team how he has strengthened and protected his mind throughout many crabby situations he has encountered.

Mother Sayer: It seems you’ve solved the marketing and product placement snag. Are you using all platforms at your disposal? Like social media, internet website, or radio, outdoor marketing, those avenues to get the word out?

Joppa: The team right now are monitoring all the data on sales and popularity on the various platforms we have a presence. They’re pretty excited to be part of this.

Mother Sayer: Speaking to that. What’s O’Woh’s role in all this? Is he an honest broker or just a guy biding his time to sabotage the whole thing?

O’Woh: I’ll answer for myself. Right now I’m an honest broker until I’m not. Maybe your Audie Murphy speech convinced me to fall in line.

Mother Sayer: So, your fear of new experiences wasn’t all controlling after all. I can work with that. My next question is a loaded one. Is there a setup anywhere else that you can take a good chunk of the profits? Will some company run by somebody that don’t look like me make sure you get your fair share?

O’Woh: No.

Mother Sayer: Look, you’re still assistant leader. That means this project succeeds or fails with what you bring to the table. Show me more. What else you got?

O’Woh: I normally wouldn’t listen to nobody especially a woman. Color is irrelevant. What convinced me is my eyes out of my 5 senses. ‘You’ for real. That’s what got me wearing cement shoes.

Mother Sayer: What? Cement shoes?

O’Woh: Like the mafia you managed to get my loyalty. My cement shoes are at the bottom of your ocean and I’m fine with that, for a change.

Mother Sayer: How many moments like this you’ve had in your life O’Woh? (She sees O’Woh slowing a bit, but reassuringly he recovers quickly to her point and stop her before she finishes her scrutiny.). Who got to you and…

O’Woh: There were 3 influences before you. My father, who was a man seeking reverence from his wife and kids he didn’t deserve. I, processed that period of time later as an adult. There were some common criminals that could persuade people to do things for them. Lastly, there was a supervisor of mine in high end car sales that usurped all the credit for the performance of his sales team.

Mother Sayer: Making a long story short these experiences made you into what kind of man?

O’Woh: It made me clarify what I wanted which is not to depend on others providing it for me.

Mother Sayer: Are you certain you have what it takes to make that promise to yourself happen?

O’Woh: Not that I need to verify or seek justification for my attitude and confidence, that being said I dam sure know how to achieve my goal. The only thing missing until now was where it was possible to achieve it.

Mother Sayer: The ARC, Incorporated. Now that I know that about you; I’m inclined to give you lead on a project in the future when one comes available. I’ll determine if it’s a good fit rest assured.

O’Woh: Thank you, Mother.

Mother Sayer: You’re welcome. Oh, good work.

Epilogue:

(Mother discusses with Sarah the dialogue that went unsaid. What’s that scripture about Jesus standing at the door and knocking she thinks. Sarah focuses on the literal nature of the verse when Mother gives her the highlights. This is where most people miss the meaning she says. Jesus wasn’t talking about a literal door; he was asking for a person to open their heart, soul and mind so he could commune with them.

That’s what Revelation 3:20 means. ‘I will come in to him’ means the ‘way’ or path to true enlightenment is allowing yourself to be ‘schooled’ by God the trinity. God wasn’t talking about doors to structures. There is only one door that matters to him. The ‘single’ door to an individual’s soul.

‘Do you understand that’, she asks Sarah? Sarah acknowledges and responds with a verse she’s studied and committed to memory. ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’, she says confidently. ‘Nobody comes to the Father, but by the Son’. Yeah, I know. Everybody thinks that governments need to gain full acceptance by all its’ citizens. No you don’t. That’s why it’s majority rule that ‘rules’ the day.

The days’ meetings with N’TIME and BAD were most pleasing. Mother and Sarah are satisfied with the progress both teams are making. Although they’re confident business will thrive for many years, they’re more confident in the growth of their people. They both agree their focus on their people makes success feel so good.

Also finding those people at the ARC that suck all the energy out of the room and counseling them is necessary. If they can’t see their energy is a downer to the energy all around the room, we will remove them. ‘Black Holes’ will not crush the ARC. Mother promises that!)…

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

The ones who hold the power tell the story. The quote went something like that. Make peace with that truth and let’s move on to how power can wreck a weak mind. When the King eats from the same soil and drinks from the same pond how then did humankind conclude that denying these basic truths could unify us all? How the realization of what power brings to those that possess it can influence human beings that are weak of spirit. When their spirit is enticed to commit acts of evil when those in power that are evil hearted require it of them. The Creator gifted his diverse creation carefully. The care he intended has been perverted by one race intent on maintaining their power instead of sharing it as we share the land, water and the air. America is that experiment. May I say it has never reached its full potential because she (Motherly pronoun) has never loved all her children.

Issue 13: Identity Politics?

That’s funny. It seems the New York Times always come out with a poll that shows Republicans winning on every level. They said it for the Federal midterms in 2022. They said it against then Democratic nominee for President Joe Biden in 2020. The New York Times now say that the numbers show even support for President Joe Biden and the man who would destroy America Donald Trump in 2024. How can that be true?

Let’s dissect that blasphemous prediction. Is the New York Times saying that half of America wants her destroyed? This isn’t some sick game we’re playing. The last issue of this digital periodical stated that there isn’t an alternative to AMERICA. Great nations great societies did not fall by the sword. Great societies fell by stupidity. Great societies fell because their citizens were thrown gifts that were then stepped on before the masses picked them up off the ground!

Listen to me everyone. These are perilous times, consequential times. Your kitchen table ‘bullshit’ is not equal to the cause of America! Financial periods or periods of growth and expansion aren’t wished into existence. Somebody has to reach into the ether with the heart to help his fellow human beings. Tell me which one out of the last two U.S. Presidents did that?

If you said President Trump was concerned for you; I’d suggest you’re not reading from the correct page of your BOOK OF LIES copy. Look, if you want more understanding about how economies expand; the 3^rd season episode one of Mother S. Sayer, the Arc of Time is about to drop soon. It’ll explain everything.

In the meantime, I believe the U. S. women’s soccer team got their wakeup call. I’d suggest they should not turn it on vibrate until after the tournament is completed. Speaking of wakeup calls, I’m a Black man in America and my alerts are always on audio. America, such a massive country with massive, weighty burdens no other country in the world can carry. I will do everything in my power through every persuasive, honorable and righteous means to see to it I stand against all evil that seeks her demise period.

Right now that evil is in the form of the Republican Party in the United States of America. Donald Trump is the King Herod of our time. If you don’t know who King Herod was in the Holy Bible I suggest you crack open the ‘good book’ for the first time and find out. Oh, what the heck. King Herod slept with the wife of his brother Philip if you needed more proof. King Herod was chastised for this evil by John the Baptist.

Oh, by the way. King Herod ordered the murder of John the Baptist. Don’t believe me? Crack open the ‘good book’ and read it for once. I dare you!

Oh and Governor DeSantis, debating the topic of slavery for you wouldn’t settle the matter. I’d be happy to show you what being a slave was like. Strip you naked. Put you in chains. Beat the shit out of you if you object to anything I tell you to do. Pour salt in your wounds. Gouge out an eye if I feel you looked at me or my property wrong. Work you from sun up to sun down no freedom or pay. In the end I’d love to see how you’d reminisce about living in hell. Then tell me how that benefitted my life after enduring all of that?

Americans of good conscience that want to save her. Don’t fall for the okey dokey. The ‘good book’ also tell you that you need to watch out for your life because God will come like a thief in the night too. I’m chuckling if you’re afraid of that happening to you. Maybe you should watch who you support.

Be vigilant. Be safe.

IT IS A COMPETITION NOT A CORONATION

It is a Competition Not a Coronation

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Can someone please inform the United States Women’s Soccer Team that the ‘International Association Football Federation’ or the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is a ‘Competition’ and not a ‘Coronation’. Perhaps I could use this analogy. A math final in college usually plays out where each student is given their own exam as ‘version’ A or B. A FIFA exam is the same for everybody except all the players on the team gets’ the same grade.

Now to the ‘2’ Black Republicans on Florida’s new version of slavery I think I’m beginning to notice you 2 realizing you both got played. Imagine that? Black Republicans, can you tell me why none of the ‘White’ folks on that retelling of slavery presented themselves for examination? I’m asking because I’m still at a loss. Black Republicans is it something they promised you for making a fool of yourselves? Did they give you 30 pieces of silver to betray your ancestors? You can tell me. Okay just whisper it over the wind. A little bird will come and tweet it in my ear.

Now let me just give a little advice on how to avoid clowning yourselves for notoriety. If you’re in a room discussing a topic and you feel your stomach churning, ask to use the restroom and head for the exit. If you’re in a room that has more White faces than Black faces, or if you’re the only Black face I’d say to the person checking names at the door I left my phone in the car. I’d drive off and wouldn’t look back.

Thirdly, and this ones’ important. Black folks, if you thought the subject was ‘How to bake the best cookies’ and ‘White Supremacy’ replaced it just as you sat down; I’d have 911 on speed dial as I hurriedly got up from the table and start sprinting towards the exit. I’m an older Black man, but even I know a ‘rope a dope’ when I’m the target of a ‘flimflam’.

You know that’s pathetic that an old Black man parading around with a Doctorate can’t tell when his chosen religion of Republicanism makes him a mockery. My Black brothers and sisters and all people of color and good conscience. In John 5:39 from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible it tells us to ‘Search the Scriptures’. That means to search out a matter before you lend credence to it.

Perhaps not. It is known on landcause.com that any and all stupidity will be called out no matter race, religion, sex, nationality or probably we need to add ‘stupidity’ as a category to the law. It seems to affect people regardless of their education. Lord ‘ham’ mercy!

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

ISSUE 13: The Classless Clown

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Republican Alice Stewart said, ‘The new Florida standards about Black History was signed off by African American Scholar William B. Allen. Black Republican activist Quisha King said, ‘It is ignorant and simple-minded to condemn this new version of Black History’ surrounding slavery.

Let’s recap shall we. Define slavery. Slavery is according to Google, ‘ownership of a person as property’. Other sources gave similar benign meanings that almost led me to believe that the practice of slavery was too horrifying to describe it by the English language. It’s like those publishers selling dictionaries didn’t want to fully articulate the atrocities inherent in slavery in ink on the pages of their books.

Now in the Year of our Lord 2023 you have ‘Black’ Conservative Republicans, Lord have mercy, acting just like those Black folks of old making clowns of themselves knowing full well they’re being ridiculed to high Heaven behind their backs.

Let me give two examples of what I mean by ‘Classless Clown’.

First example. A tale is concocted in a room occupied by one hundred White Conservative Republican Lost Cause Christian Nationalists and one Black Scholar. Revising the history of slavery to make it more kinder and gentler towards White slave owners is the matter being discussed. It is done and soon released with the approval of all one hundred and one attendees in that room. Now tell me. Who’s voice was the loudest in that room? What conclusion was made that included input if any from the Black Scholar?

Second example. A tale is concocted in a room occupied by one hundred and one Black people. Revising the history of slavery to make it more kinder and gentler towards White slave owners. If one Black person said that was a good idea it would be met immediately with scorn! Why? Because to spit in the face of what Africans stolen from their homeland, and submitted to ghastly atrocities on land stolen from the native Americans would lead that person to be swiftly schooled in the truth. Probably, I might add not too ‘kindly’.

Notice how Republicans, the Governor of Florida included, always state how the ‘Black’ person went along with it. Tell me your honest opinion. Why do Republicans always ‘serve up’ the Black person that joined their vile spittle? Huh? Got you thinking now right? Oh this is even better.

When that Black person goes back to the one hundred White Conservative Republican Lost Cause Christian Nationalist would they come out and say they approved the new lies about slavery? I recommend telling yourself the truth at all times as my experience working in Behavioral and Mental Health the last 5 years have enlightened me. Lying to yourself is mentally injurious to yourself.

No. Those White Conservative Republican Lost Cause Christian Nationalist would not say they wrote the new history. I’m not a gambling man, but if I were I’d say they would blame the new history about slavery as solely the ideas of the sole Black Scholar in that room.

That is what I mean by CLASSLESS CLOWN. No Black person in their right mind would support such a vile villainous White Conservative Republican Lost Cause Christian Nationalist distortion of slavery! All you’ve done is made yourself a fool for Republicans and rejected by Black folks for such blasphemy about slavery.

Alas, I will define SLAVERY as: ‘A vicious system of bondage and servitude characterized by brutal beatings, constant rapes and violations of human decency, treatment was continuously cruel marked by forced uncompensated labor, scarce food, nonexistent medical care and zero chance at a quality education.

Tell me how a person benefitted from those conditions? Oh, right? The intelligence they possessed came from God okay. It didn’t come from Slave masters cultivating their brain power. Keep digging holes for yourself Black Republicans. You’re the ‘fools’ left holding the White Conservative Republican Lost Cause Christian Nationalist bag with a torn page inside from their ‘Book of Lies’.

What else you got? Keep it coming!

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

ISSUE 12: The 7^th Book of The Holy Bible

Judges. That’s the 7^th Book of the Holy Bible from the Authorized King James version. Sabbath day? What is the meaning of the word Sabbath? I’m led to understand that the ancient meaning is rooted in rest, but it is also rooted in completion. Therefore I will define the meaning of ‘Sabbath’ as ‘a just finality that signifies a righteous act or acts have been done of the Earth’, a presentation of matters that were in conflict or upheaval running their due course and are now resolved’.

Throughout my training, studies, education, experience and spiritual journey there is a truth that is unmistakably rigid. Coincidences are there for the unlearned to stumble over along their chosen path of unbelief. Now, there is not a Book of the Bible called ‘Legislative’ is there? The Book of Judges from my understanding didn’t land the 7^th spot by accident or happenstance either. Any attempt to diminish or weaken these two extraordinary facts are affronts to the righteousness of God!

My loyal seekers of knowledge have known this about me for quite some time. Any attempt to dispute or shun the ‘pillars’ of all that we know were formed to help us maintain decency and order I will forever ‘stand to’ and challenge them! Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel seeks to ‘steal’ ‘kill’ and ‘destroy’ that which God has ordained. Read Saint John 10:10 for the full verse. Nobody gets a pass. The Jew first or the Gentile.

Now, I’m the first to say all have sinned (including me) and fallen short of the glory of God. All and none are entitled to destroy what God has established. The Book of Judges is the 7^th Book of the Holy Bible which lands on the day of ‘rest’. Rest from what? When all was in upheaval and nothing was settled it was God’s work that brought everything to ‘order’. Forgive me if I sound preachy, but I believe it is unmistakably clear.

‘JUDGES’ are fallible. All of us cannot attain to such a high calling. Judges, they are human too and subject to corruption, but as David said ‘His thoughts are above their thoughts’. God has ordained ‘judges’ in his world. Therefore, let me be crystal clear. Any attempt to weaken or reduce the authority of judges puts the entire world at risk. Judges suppose to ‘at the end of disputes and upheaval’ settle and stabilize enormous matters with grace, wisdom and authority. Without authority there can be no stability.

Yes, anytime you see violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province do not marvel at the matter. Know that there is a righteous ‘judge’ that will conclude all disputes with no appeals. You are correct oh ye of wise deduction. The ‘One’ that settled the universe itself. That is God.

THE SPECTACULAR BENEFITS AND BENEVOLENT WORLD OF SLAVERY

The Spectacular Benefits and Benevolent World of Slavery

by: American Republicans

It is with great honour that I hope to live up to presenting this wonderful material on slavery these generous Republicans have provided. I will cover various forms of torture that provide the least bit of pain and suffering as possible. Iron tubs of boiling hot water. Leather whips with razor sharp spiked blades. Naked men, women along with little boys and little girls playing with vicious dogs ripping their flesh apart.

Slaves volunteering to hang by the neck from trees until they pass out. I mean it’s what they wanted. Oh, working in the searing heat of the Sun from dawn until dusk for free, or wage free hourly invisible pay. Being raped by White men whenever it tickles their fancy. Maybe these White men or should I say benevolent slave masters only raped Black women and Black girls once or twice a week. I’m sure Republicans would say it’s the latter.

Finally this digital publication will run forever. Republican men and women will always shield the truth with their idol God read from the pages of their Book of Lies.

Issue 1: The Round Robin of Terror

If you don’t know what a round robin is it is simply an event type course that features different stations that participants visit to achieve a passing score. By the grace of the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob I will lay bare the foolishness of Republicans once again.

I hear the slave master ring the bell to start the day’s activities. Which station should White men visit first he wonders? I don’t think all my plantation owners want to rape my Black slave women first. It would drain their energy preventing them from some of the more sadistic acts I got set up like the hangings, boiling pits, vicious dog attacks and such and such. I’ll tell them when they git here to pace themselves. Don’t want to short out such a spectacular day of fun.

Ah here comes my fellow plantation owners now. Oh, I have a request. This White man always has a new thing he tries every time he scratches his ass. What is it I ask since I’m the purveyor of this carnival of horrors? The slave owner says he wants to try out breaking the arms and legs of a naked female slave, and have her crawl away in excruciating pain while the vicious dogs are let loose on her. I tell him to see that sight will cost him at least a dollar. The slave master drools as he hands me my money. I gleefully smile while patting his back saying. You’re crazy.

Well folks, that’s all I have for today. We’ll return in a few days to revisit this spectacular world of harmless slavery where Black slaves had benefits out the Ying Yang! That’s slang for slaves had it so good!

Until next time.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 12: Press On

Only a slipshod, haphazard, façade of an organization would call the faithfulness to cruelty, hatred and perennial persecution of a people thought of as ‘lesser than’ cause to celebrate those that act with such malice as extraordinary patriots. That is what the Republicans have ‘groomed’ their voters to believe. Answer me this. Why would so-called Christians and ‘evangelicals’ believe that hatred is okay if their leaders say it is okay?

In furtherance of this indoctrination their Republican leaders require them to worship from the BOOK OF LIES gospel that only leads them to mental destruction. Former President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister are examples of a nation that was on the track of redemption choosing to align themselves with evil men.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. 2 Chronicles Chapter 20 verses 35, 36, 37…And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:…And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber…Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish…

As I have stated before and will state again. Consequential nations are not broken by the sword! They are broken by the people choosing evil leaders. If an ‘EVANDEVICAL’ tells you that Donald Trump or Benjamin Netanyahu loves America or Israel they are ‘lost in the sauce’. Evil done by their leaders on behalf of a nation leads to her destruction. So when you hear Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu say what they will do to their democracies believe them!

Now Senator Tommy Tuberville is a whole other level of stupid. I’m not even going to wonder how all those football players, coaches, university officials were fooled by this guy. Enough of that though. I’m here about his fucking with the military. Listen ignorant voters that keep voting Republican. The military did not say they were going to pay for one single ‘abortion’.

The military said they would reimburse travel expenses. Now my time in the Army I’ve been reimbursed for mileage, food or per diem which could include many things that keep a soldier and their family functioning. This maintains ‘readiness’. Look that word up if you don’t know what it means Republican voter.

Again, great nations never fell to the sword! Search it out! Read between the lines of history! From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Ezra Chapter 4 verse 19…And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein…

Stop! America is established right now! Going forward it is the responsibility of a few true souls to hold truth as self-evident. The Republicans have abdicated their responsibility to America. They have chosen evil. Americans of soul need to understand and not be fooled because a fool throws you some trinkets to get your vote. Besides that, they throw your trinkets on the ground and step on them before you pick them up!

Vote for Democrats. Everybody is the point in a society as far as the Democrats are concerned. So, if Senator Tuberville is still unknown to you even after he has demonstrated that he is an assclown that doesn’t give a flying fuckeroo about America or the military. Then telling somebody like you that water is wet will blow your mind!

By the way, I know there isn’t a second alternative to replace what America does on God’s Earth. I’m then inclined to persuade as many Americans who believe what they see and hear to help all citizens of soul protect America from her enemies both foreign and domestic.

Be safe and press on.

ISSUE 11: ‘In Heart He Layeth His Wait’

What comes out of the mouth defileth a man. I’m not on a crusade to uncover fake Christians. They do that all on their own. What I am here to do is make sure fake Christians or so-called Christians know they will not get into Heaven. Prime example is this. What would be the response of a so-called Christian when somebody, anybody tells them they shouldn’t be lying on somebody? Huh? What answer do you think a so-called Christian would give?

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Jeremiah 9 vs 3-5…And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord. Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity…

Supplant means these so-called Christians long ago replaced the Holy Bible with their own false book of lies. Long ago these so-called Christians taught themselves to speak lies because they utterly believe anything that comes out of their false god Donald Trump. I don’t care about anybody believing what they will. That is their choice!

Call them out America. Do not hesitate to call out these demon loving liars of a false god. These ‘EVANDEVICALS’ are not Christians. I doubt if they even know how to spell Christian. These grown ass men and women, majority White folks, sit there and watch and cheer on every lying sack of shit on Fox News and their demon child knockoff conservative platforms while feigning ignorance of what they’re doing.

Answer me now! What would a so-called Christian do when that which is wrong came out of the mouth of somebody they love? That person would support such evil while straining to make everybody else believe it to be good. Continue reading this chapter of Jeremiah to verse 8. I won’t include the full text here, but the point I will make is for all those people of color supporting Republicans. You are a well-informed fool. Because as you sure as hell know, what you’re doing is a condemnation that will engulf you in a true unkind judgment.

These people have never knew God. This latest iteration of so-called Christians under the guise of a legit political party called the Republicans will always lie. Representative Comer is lying on President Biden. Donald Trump is slandering President Biden. What do these so-called Christians do? They cheer it on. Don’t do that. Don’t pretend these so-called Christian grown ass men and women don’t know right from wrong.

They have always ‘laid in wait while giving you the hand shake’. You weren’t fooled. You are a fool! Now these so-called Christians on the U.S. Supreme Court have approved evil against all women. Against people of the LGBTQ+ community. Against people who want sanity back in our society through gun legislation.

Now these superior so-called Christians will probably rule from the bench that local school board curriculums should be set by people that never made it out of grade school. Children should be educated by bumbling idiots wearing shit stained clothes while speaking through rotten tobacco and meth stained teeth. If they have any.

Keep it up America. This post is for the people that have saved America throughout decades and centuries by knowing what’s right and what’s wrong. I’m with those people. Stay together! America has never been unified. The uttering of those words by the idiots among us has always and will always be balderdash.

What is the truth? Let this man, President Joe Biden do what he knows how to do. Points are going up on the board and yes I know he’s going to run up the score!

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 56 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 11: Line Up Their Truths

About the Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris. All the attempts at ridiculing her. All the low grade vicious conclusions assigning traits or character flaws she never had. Somebody should tell these ‘assclowns’ that if you plan a character assassination to at least sprinkle some kernels of truths in their takedowns.

Mic check. Mic check. Check the record on Vice President Harris. What did she accomplish as Attorney General of California? VP Harris didn’t shy away from criminal justice reform. She tackled truancy. The sex workers. Marijuana use. VP Harris passed on a $4 billion offer instead secured $20 billion for California homeowners from the foreclosure cheats. VP Harris made criminal justice information available to the public. VP Harris was elected to the United States Senate.

When somebody comes at you offering to sell a knock off of the original as the genuine article; I’d make sure they won’t sell that false product again. VP Harris or anybody that’s a fan should say what you got on her? The VP doesn’t have a record. Wrong. Straight out the gate stupid that comment was. What else you got? I’m a Black woman so I can’t be tough because I’ll look angry? I deposited $20 Billion in the bank account of California. Ask somebody if I was angry when I collected that money?

VP Harris can’t face down the toughest system in America, criminal justice, and come out on top. Wrong again! Did you seriously just say I’m the VP because I checked the Black and Brown box? You better ask somebody right now because you don’t just sound stupid, you are stupid.

If you’re going to make an attempt to ‘put down’ somebody, how about really doing your homework next time. Let me offer some advice. Don’t lie as if VP Harris hasn’t held any public office or mixed it up in a job where it counts. I didn’t say VP Harris was perfect as working in the criminal justice system nobody comes out clean. I’d take her any day over the likes of people that try to ‘create’ a person out of thin air and ‘layer’ a false image over their true self.

Sorry, I have to veer off course for a second. Larry Elders said Affirmative Action was discrimination to fix historical discrimination. That’s like concluding that excluding women from voting was inadvertently solved by giving women the right to vote. (Put both hands on both sides of your face and push in with your mouth open and eyes wide).

Look it’s simple. If the scale is unbalanced where more weight is needed that’s where you put it. What these wise United States Supreme Court Justices are saying that the imbalance has persisted unjustly for so long that there is no point to balance it now because it doesn’t matter anymore. That’s insanity!

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Job 31:6…let me be weighted in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity. I can’t help myself. Do you see where I’m going with this? The whole ‘charade’ is revealed! ‘LINE UP THEIR TRUTHS’ by right or wrong.

There is no cause or purpose to make things right? Just do all the wrong you want because the first act is all that matters? That’s why I despise the perversion of the ‘Church’ by all the so-called Christians that walk through its doors. ‘Our wrongs should rule for all eternity as it is so difficult to right them’?

While they teach their children to seek forgiveness and make amends. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Jeremiah 26:13…Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

Don’t worry so-called Christians. Just talk a good game and do the exact opposite.

Native Americans, Black, Brown, White Indentured servants, Asians, and people of all kinds that have been wronged in this country. That is why I admonish every person that wishes to have America endure for all time on the face of the Earth. The absurd seems to be what the unjust wants us to swallow without wincing.

How things are made right are spiritually painful to those that believe in a spiritual higher power like Jesus Christ. Don’t wince at it only to accept it as unchanging. There is only one being that doesn’t make changes. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Malachi 3:6… For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Get back to work. Line up the truth, not a poorly crafted knockoff.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 56 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 10: Know How Ye Ought to Answer Everyone

No, I’ve long ago given up the possibility that every human being believes in the truth. If I had my say, I’d recommend to everyone that cherishes their mental health to do the same. Only you control what you believe. Give that authority to someone else in fact does not free your account or your name for what you do with a lie.

3 things I will cover in this issue of I Found My Brother. Racism, False Gods, Equal Treatment Under the Law.

We’ll start with false Gods. Don’t get it twisted. I don’t care about so-called Christians worshipping former President Donald Trump. I do not wish they’d see the light and come to the knowledge of the truth. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…St. John 3:20…For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

The legacy media will have you stark raving mad listening as they bemoan a chunk of the American population beholden to Donald Trump. The legacy media helped create this buffoon! All those folks following Donald Trump are doing so because that’s who they are. People that have been told all their lives that their ‘shit’ don’t stank.

Racism is something so simple to identify in its’ various manifestations that it has broken off cohorts. The cohorts are very effective in their jobs. They are discrimination, bigotry, prejudice. Those three serve their master well. Why you ask?

For instance, when a person of color or a racial group, that has been targeted for oppression in employment to include wages, where they live, if they could vote or who could speak on their behalf finally achieves some success a peculiar thing happens. Their thoughts, suddenly turn to justification of all the systems the oppressors installed to hinder a perceived inferior race, or certain group of people from fully discovering what ability they have to capture success.

In other words, when a person from a marginalized group ‘gets out’, their beliefs becomes recalculated. The person suddenly sees merit in the oppressors tactics. I mean the Black or Brown person no longer feels racism or any of its’ determined cohorts because they deem themselves now a member of the oppressors society with ‘means’ to shield him or herself from the ills of the oppressors’ system!

That’s how you ought to answer everyone that asked you why you feel hindered in your ability to achieve success. Many Black or Brown people turn their backs on everybody else once they’ve achieved some form of ‘financial’ success. With Black and Brown members like that upholding oppressive tactics who needs the oppressors feeding the bigotry, discrimination and prejudice. You got these ‘tokens’ doing it for them.

I got to give a ‘shout out’ to the United States Supreme Court. Don’t get mad at me. You know I give it to you straight. The last bullet point today is Equal Treatment Under the Law. A 7-2 decision in favor of the Indian Child Welfare Act is righteous. As the scripture said, those idiots that stood before the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that White folks should still do whatever they want to with the ‘indigenous’ population is the ‘Art of the Deal’.

America is not without SIN! I live and breathe America because I know a little about the ‘fall’ of kingdoms. Great societies didn’t fall under the sword. Great societies fell because they didn’t repent of their ‘wrongs’. No, I’m not saying each and every citizens’ sins will destroy America. That’s an interpretation concluded by a ‘low’ thinker. An office holder is not a country! I will never allow America to befall such a fate because of a totally unjust, evil, buffoonish, orange colored dimwit because a so-called Christian says so.

I will forever sound the alarm on this morally bankrupt example of a man in Donald Trump. Therefore I will make the ‘argument’ for President Joe Biden on the truth and the facts! Like Rachel Maddow says, ‘don’t just listen to what they say, look at what they do’.

America is judged by her governmental actions! We still have those ‘cartoon character’ Republican presidential hopefuls pining about our glorious military correcting the record on the names of military installations. My goodness, the Confederacy lost the Civil War. A parallel would be every professional sports league giving equal billing to the losing team. That’s insane now as it was then!

Equal Treatment under the law to vote. Equal Treatment under the law for adults to marry who they love. Equal Treatment under the law is innocent until proven guilty (yes, for Donald Trump too). Equal Treatment under the law for Black and Brown people. Oh, by the way, police departments, just cause you have it in your policy to justify killing unarmed or armed civilians that pose no threat still doesn’t make you God.

I will close with some definitions to further enlighten those new to the explanations of truth provided by this website.

Definitions: Hinder – means to suffer an artificial barrier or cause misdirection to the progress of people for no other reason than hatred encircled by ignorance.

Token – is a technique by oppressors to give a few measures of success to susceptible Black and Brown people with the hope they will turn against their own by saying the ‘fault lies with Black and Brown people; the failures of Black and Brown people has nothing to do with the oppressors’ system established against them for hundreds of years’.

Legacy media – the 3 networks of ABC, NBC, and CBS to include various magazines like the one that ‘darkened’ the facial features of O. J. Simpson to resemble the Black male caricatures of southern states to feature him as more menacing and uneducated.

Thank you for your support. My discoveries I hope have increased your desires to always ask ‘why’, and to discern good and evil for yourself.

ISSUE 10: Who Leads Their Kingdom?

I would leave this question up to ‘EVANDEVICALS’ to figure out for themselves, but I love America so I’m going to explain it to the ‘false’ Christians gracing their so-called churches that God never once stepped foot in. Donald J. Trump is their Lucifer. Donald J. Trump represents everything that Republicans, ‘EVANDEVICALS’, White folks seeking a fallen ‘angel’ (yes Lucifer was the praise arch angel of God), and so-called church goers foolishly believing they’re just worshiping who their leader places in front of them. Let me be clear to all of you. You will not destroy America!

Everyone that comes to this website knows that what I write will be hard hitting and on point. Everybody that lives in America better realize something. No matter that this has to be said a million times multiplied by a million times a day. Nothing operates on its own. The ‘GOOD’ has to be fed constantly just like the ‘EVIL’ is fed constantly. Tell all those folks that’re saying Donald J. Trump should be left alone ask them, ‘why aren’t you committing the same crimes against women and against America?’ Whatever answer they give you if it’s not one embedded in the rule of law; then those people are ‘destroyers’. They would sell out America for a stick of gum!

Lastly, this notion that the rule of law should be suspended if the person in the White House is from a different political party is amusing. When somebody says that I would call them on their belief in God. ‘By your reasoning, you being a Christian, then the Almighty was wrong to caste Satan and his followers from Heaven right?’ Well, wasn’t God in charge at the time Satan challenged God’s authority?

The ‘LAW’ is the law. By that reasoning Donald J. Trump could run for the Presidency of the United States until he croaks. That’s ludicrous! Gaming the system then would apply to all accused of a crime then right? This website is on record that now is the ‘TIME OF THE COURTS’. A ‘Judge’ should be thinking and reasoning far beyond the machinations of defendants whether they’re truly innocent or truly guilty.

Who leads our kingdom now? The answer should be men and women whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts!

Issue 6: Got Change for a $100?

It is quite amusing to see jealous Republican politicians flailing in derision. As an independent Democrat it is hilarious to behold. First the Republicans beat their boney chests until their voices gurgle. Then their version of reality is so obviously false their voices make sounds like pebbles clanging around the inside of a drum as the drum tumbles erratically down a hillside.

President Biden has laid out his first phase of legislative accomplishments that will start her innovation fires blazing hotter than the surface of the Sun? Infrastructure that includes faster and widely available broadband internet. New roads and bridges? New airports and upgrades to existing ones? Rehoming ‘our’ computer chip industry? Really?

In contrast, what are Republicans offering to change the worldwide competitive game of innovation and commerce? Nothing? Oh, they’re offering something America. Go on, you can say it. They want teachers who didn’t pass 3^rd grade teaching America’s children. What’s 2 plus 2? Don’t be shocked when these uneducated educators tell you the answer is 25!

What else a Republican sells? Hatred? That’s what they do best. Hate Black folks. Hate immigrants. Hate Mexicans. Hate LGBTQ+. Hate women. I’m going to tell you a nugget of wisdom I heard from a friend. I’m not going to give names.

She said. ‘STOP LISTENING TO THESE IDEAS FROM THESE 10 cent REPUBLICANS WHO WANT 5 cent BACK IN CHANGE’!

Now I’m going to give it to you in scripture. These verses I believe perfectly explain why these tin can Republicans are making a lot of noise as they roll down the side of a cliff. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Psalm 119:98-100…Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for they testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

You may continue to read on as you so please. Let’s not discount the wisdom of time to the ages. My own heart was conflicted because I thought the ‘strength of youth’ would bring me the admiration I so longed for. Incorrect! Oh how I was incorrect. I would not trade my years of wisdom and experience for the strongest body on the face of the Earth!

Oh, by the way. ‘MEM’ in Hebrew religious text it stands for ‘God Makom, the Place’. Don’t let the hater political party Republicans ridicule President Joe Biden for studying his craft. What? Do you want stupid M’Fers running around the country whipping up more ignorant people while the rest of world, and the evil rulers that want us destroyed laugh at us putting morons in charge of us? Again? Are you serious?

I vote by the record. The reality of what a man said he would get done and what he actually did. I believe the saying goes, ‘why are you chasing people that don’t want you to have nothing (Those 10 cent Republicans) instead of the Democrats that want you to be making change from $100 dollar bills.

10 cents can’t buy you nothing these days. Why do you still want to live like that today? Don’t forget? The Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. Republican voters. A Lilly White society is over. I’m not sorry for you. If you keep voting Republicans into office while the rest of the world continues to nip at America’s heels, don’t be surprised when America’s enemies gang up on her.

See if that stupid joker scratching his ass that dropped out of school in the 8^th grade can save us then. Yeah White folks, let all your clown buddies who you’ve rightfully put in their boneheaded place run your school boards. You’ll be searching for a nickel in your pocket to make change cause that’s all your communities will be worth.

Vote Democrats in office and let’s keep preparing for the onslaught of innovation before our enemies beat us to the punch. I don’t know about you, but I want to deliver the knockout blow. The country standing, looking down at our enemies at the end of the fight!

Issue 10: The Way?

Recent transitory thoughts of mind have led to important metaphoric dilemmas being answered. To conclude a matter is a part of mental health. Less mental clutter or less mumbo jumbo can quiet the mind on such things. This is the matter that has bothered me for years. Comparing the size or youth of a destructive problem lulls a person into a false sense of capability.

Say for instance a reasonable human being would take a tiger cub as a pet. Why not? Because over the course of time that cub will be fully grown. Only an experienced, licensed, animal trainer can do something like that. Now the point I’m making (I know my loyal readers are already there) is that a problem usually doesn’t stay small if it is deemed uncontrollable to the untrained.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 22:6…Train up a child in the way in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. I’ll get straight to the point. Every ‘child’ receives the bulk of their instruction from sources other than their parents. No? This is formal instruction in school. Written instruction on their own. Visual instruction which teaches way more than one would think.

Face it. Not all human being who’re responsible for children give a dam about the ‘WAY’ some things should be done. We don’t have time to critique every aspect of what goes into ‘train’ up a child, so we’ll keep it focused and to the point.

All human beings should know that a child will receive instruction that will partly carve a path of discovery unique to their learning. If this is news to some, then I’m living in bizarro world. Oh, before I go any further, you know ‘train’ up goes both paths right? Human beings can bring up a child in the ‘Ways’ of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’.

Which gets us to answering the question what is the ‘Way’? Simply stated it is a belief that a core set of principles then bend toward good such as love, kindness, decency and order. Spirituality is a lesson that should be taught as an elective. Which means a child should be given the choice to believe or not to be.

Now tell me something. This is a serious question now. Why did grown ass ‘White’ men laugh at a woman seeking justice for being sexually assaulted by former President of the United States Donald J. Trump? Answer me that? ‘Train’ up a child in the way he should go right? Notwithstanding these White men learned the bulk of their behavior all on their own.

I’m glad that the women in that ‘sham’ of a town hall sat ‘stoic’ faced, and if I may say displayed a little disdain at the behavior of the grown ass ‘White’ men chuckling around them.

In contrast, you’re telling me that Black unemployment at 5% which is the lowest in decades if ever. President Biden sounding the alarm about a crucial piece of our technology sector ‘stationed offshore’ thousands of miles from the continental United States. Getting that Chips and Science Act passed. The job market is staying on course because companies can feel something big is brewing, and they don’t want to be caught looking for ‘help’.

All the Republicans are doing is saying how ‘terrible’ the economy is doing? Really? I’m not crossing into ‘alternative facts’.

That’s why nobody is allowed to have ferocious animals as pets because they will not stay cute and cuddly forever! The ‘Way’ is simple, but there are many sources of instruction that lead people into worlds that aren’t real.

Believe what you see. I’m pushing for wages of $50 thousand a year for all workers. Imagine what our country would be then? Would it be easier then to tell the difference in which political party wants people to stay broke? The Republicans want a society that oppresses people because they are beholden to the wealthy among us.

No worker in America should take a job paying less than $15 dollars an hour. No one! If these companies don’t have workers because they don’t want to pay for progress, screw them. We’re laying the foundation of a 100 trillion United States economy. Don’t let the Republicans make you fearful of the Federal debt. The Republicans’ focus should be on how do we grow the economy for everybody, but they won’t come to ‘Jesus’ now or ever.

Seems only one political party is on that mission. The Democratic Party. The ‘Way’ is clear.

Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”.

Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 9: Know How Ye Ought to Speak to Every Human Being

‘He speaks his mind’. This statement was made by a young Republican man when asked about the behavior of former President of the United States Donald Trump. Do you know what the person interviewing this young man said in response? Something along the lines of ‘Trump does some things that pleases you’. Tell me loyal readers, what should have been the response to that young Republican White man?

It should have garnered a response such as, ‘So in speaking his mind, Donald Trump, would you be able to do the same? Stop and let that person answer. You know where I’m going with this. ‘So, Republican White man am I correct to assume the hesitation in your voice tells me that’s a no’. Why wouldn’t being obnoxious, rude and defamatory work for you?

America is becoming that good country, complexities withstanding, her creator God wants her to be now. If, and I’m speaking to the mainstream or shall I say ‘legacy’ media; please do a better job by not letting the ‘pollen’ of evil freely float on the whisps of air to fertilize an impressionable mind. Granted now, I get it. Your job as a correspondent for legacy media is to throw as much chaos up in the wind currents. No? Then why are ‘legacy’ media big wigs so bent out of shape when respect is never attributed to your reporting?

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Philippians 4:8-9…Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those thing, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

I’m afraid I do get a kick out of so-called evangelical (EVANDEVILCAL) Christians. They’re always weaving and lacing every evil thing together with all the crap they never learned from the word of God. That’s why I will always say on this website that God never communed once in their so-called churches. Remember, we can deny him all we want. He will ‘never’ deny himself!

When somebody speaks about admiring a rude man tell them to behave just like him. When someone is admired for telling lies tell them to lie to be admired. If someone brings dishonor or degradation to an organization, office or cause, just tell them they will always have your support. No?

Then stop wondering why no one respects you! Oh, and let me tell those United States Senators that spoke of our legal system being a joke. You’re a part of the United States Legislative Branch. You are degrading your institution morons!

Look here, I’m going to be honest with everybody. I’m not one that subscribes to the notion that all Americans need to understand a nation doesn’t survive on ‘oh it’ll always be there’ aphorisms. All we need is enough Americans to reject those people, Republicans, that there ‘stock and trade’ is chaos and destruction.

Know how you should behave toward all human beings. No? Then see if acting like an ass toward everyone gets you what you want from life.

ISSUE 09: Make America Evil Again

That’s what these ‘MAGA’ Make America Great Again people want to do. No? Why then would the Republican party race to release guns onto those of us that know ‘living by them we’ll die by them’. I’ve said it here on my website many times. Republicans didn’t write ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws to make citizens safer. Republicans wrote ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws to give people who already have desires in them to kill other people an easier excuse when they kill others.

The United States Supreme Court has always drifted to the gifts that evil hearts offer in abundance. Their history isn’t something to admire or laud praise over. It is just as demonic as the Executive and Legislative Branches of the Federal Government. No constitution or document a sinful heart can craft will be imbued with honor or spirituality. The U.S. Supreme Court justices are susceptible to lures of money just as any other human being. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…1 Timothy 6:10…For the love of money is the root of all evil: which some have coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

How then can a ‘Supreme’ court tell all of America how they should live according to the Holy Bible then? If money sways the ‘Supreme’ court in this manner, then their rulings are not of honorable faith to the law. From the King James version of the Holy Bible…Proverbs 13:21…Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repaid.

I’ve found myself down that ‘path’ with evil hot on my butt. Why? Foolishly I felt I could manage the risk that comes with doing the wrong things. Of course I was wrong. Just like those ‘Supreme’ justices are simply duping themselves into thinking they can hold evil at bay. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…James 1:14…but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

The justices of the U.S. Supreme Court have done this blasphemy to themselves. Really? Being taken on lavish trips around the world cannot sway your rulings? A 10 million dollar payout to your family doesn’t sway your opinions? Book deals worth millions of dollars aren’t enough to entice you to view favorably upon such a benefactor? Please, stop trying to recreate the ‘Stoic’ look of ancient Greeks. You’re failing miserably!

Guns and God. What are citizens voting for America? God didn’t tempt the U.S. Supreme Court justices with anything. They sold out America all on their own. Frankly I was waiting for a buffoonish ruling to ‘wash’ my hands of them. I thought they would uphold that ruling from that ‘cartoon character’ of a Federal Judge in Texas. Outlaw medication abortions? Talk about arrogance! So the Food and Drug Administration don’t know ‘Bo’ (get it? Bo Jackson?).

You know Republican Keith Self that represents Allen, Texas what he was saying right? That clown was saying that God never was a factor in the laws and rights I gave to gun owners. God bet not say anything or I’ll craft a law that tells him to go F__K himself! Republican Keith Self did what all Republicans do. Make a mockery out of whatever he thinks God is to him. Of course a Christian knows that God says such people will reap what they sow.

Citizens of America. We have got to vote as if our lives depend on it. They do! Make America Evil Again or keep changing her course to be the true nation the few people God listens to in America wants her to be.

Issue 09: VOTE for What?

This digital issue will focus on 3 clear foundations. Life, Progress-Never going back, and Undeniable Truth.

Let’s tackle ‘progress-never going back’ first and see why although we do forge ahead for reasons we all know we can’t clearly release the restraints on our economic hurricanes. The main reason is we can’t pump enough money into Americans pockets. This is an open question to anyone to answer. What does one political party (Republicans) fear about Americans making more money? Do they fear it will open their eyes to a more stable future for themselves and their neighbors? Maybe the Republicans fear that the disengagement of stressor lessens their hold on power?

Why hold down wages? Why keep the legal immigration system in flux? Why speak against government? By keeping wages down you keep desperation and stressors high. Progress suffers as a result because that new crop of entrepreneurs can’t get the ‘lift’ to get off the ground.

Now what the ‘HELL’ Republicans in Congress going back to the well playing a version of ‘ECONOMIC COLLASPE’ Americans never purchased? Talk about the ‘Weaponization of the Federal Government’! Sound familiar? Americans, I ‘told’ you that Republicans do not care for anything sacred. Raising the debt ceiling or better yet the borrowing limit of the Federal Treasury is an ‘enders game’ to them.

We as a country are in another blessed time. God has seen to it to listen to that ‘finite’ number of people that has preserved America for centuries despite her crimes. Now some of America’s citizens have voted Republicans back into office to ‘TRUCK’ with her future (and the world’s) again. Now is not the time to grind the country and the world to a screeching halt!

The second pillar of our discussion on foundational tenets is ‘Life’. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 2^nd Timothy Chapter 2 verses 11 – 13…It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself…

Life is pretty simple to me. I try my best to keep my wrongdoings compartmentalized to myself and myself alone. Observe all these folks that spew all this foolishness that God is with them. Well, let’s check them. Is God for letting children be slaughtered in school and saying it’s a part of life in America? Does God support former President Trump? I believe a false Christian said David did the same things? Mind you now when God called David on his BS David repented. Did Donald Trump ever admit to making a mistake? Did you catch that? Former President Trump couldn’t spell repent!

Life tells me if I read history and it tells me that so-called Christians piled out of their ‘church’ and lynched Black people it was wrong. I have concluded that White Churches are wrong. Here’s my last critique of ‘churches’. Catholic priests were sexually abusing children and the ‘church’ moved to cover it up. Answer me, was the Catholic Church wrong?

What did God say about this sentence? You can deny me (God) until you’re blue in the face. I’m certainly not going to deny myself and give you the right in all the evil you’ve committed in your own name. God was nowhere near those so-called Christian churches! God sitting up in your ‘church’ while you’re doing evil in that very ‘church’ of yours. Yeah, right.

The third and final foundation. Undeniable Truth. I’m going to give you my best understanding of ‘Redemption’. The meaning in ‘ancient’ times meant…to restore a luster, a brightness that was dimmed. To regain an original spiritual covering that his creatures rejected for a false and unequal substitute. To seek blessedness from the creator which makes us whole…

When President Biden says don’t compare me to the almighty compare me to the alternative you better understand his meaning. All those scumbags, the fake Christians listen to every day are not the ones God hears on behalf of America. He hears the humble in spirit. Look, no elected official or citizen does the right thing every second of their lives. You want to know the difference in why I vote Democrat?

I vote Democrat because I pick and choose the leaders that live by a ‘code’. Something has to govern their actions when all the voices cease. All these jokers (Republicans) telling you they’re a Christian. How about you letting them show you they are? Does a Christian send human beings on a bus to another state in the dead of winter knowing on the other side there will be no place for them in the ‘end’.

Does a Christian tell you there is nothing to be done about Children being killed in school? Does a Christian keep throwing wrenches in the immigration system to sabotage it so that people can’t apply for lawful entry into America? Does a Christian ‘oppress the hireling in his wages’? Does a Christian release all rules and regulations on guns knowing that guns in the hands of some people wreaks havoc on the rest of society?

Deny all you want. Lie to yourself all you want. The undeniable truth is still the truth. Life will not be suppressed by the whims of evil (Republicans) people. Progress will not be stopped.

My next post on this site is going to be about economic boom times. Here’s a little peak. What if we had 150 million adults making $50,000 a year? What if we had summer jobs in industries that stirs the imagination and creativity of our legal age working young people? What if we design and build infrastructure that increases productivity? Not just getting people from location to location. I mean spring boarding ideas from thoughts to the drawing boards to a prototype. What if as a result our American economy reaches 100 trillion Gross Domestic Product in 10 years as a result?

Which political party is offering a future? I see only one. The Democratic Party. Let’s go get her done!

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 11: Solid Progress

Everybody take a breath for a moment. Contemplate soberly what has transpired along this ‘ARC of Reformation’ in America as things start to change for the better. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Hebrews Chapter 9 verse 9…which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience…

Democrats I say this with all due respect. I will list many accomplishments now. The big one November 2022 elections were kind to us. Wisconsin in 2023 was kind to us. The United States Supreme Court just did the right thing for women in 2023. All the Federal legislation such as Infrastructure, Chips and Science, parts of Build Back Better are being rolled out successfully. Let’s help assist with those massive undertakings. Help speed them up legally and honorably if we can. In the meantime let’s realize we’ve made solid progress.

Look, I know we want to move on to more agenda items. I’m the first to say I’m grinding my teeth about the possibilities, but I also know we have to solidify our gains first. Remember progress isn’t progress if it isn’t locked in.

Now, about our Democratic Federal officials. Leave Senator Feinstein alone. Many valuable lessons I’ve learned in my life. One of them is don’t rush everything. All of you, imagine me with both my arms at shoulder level elbows at 90 degree angles my hands flapping calm down and relax. Look at our leader President Joe Biden. Patience isn’t something he figured out just now. Learn something from him at the same time you’re letting those insults about his age knock your spirits down.

Everybody has to make up their own minds about many things that so easily plague so many of us. One thing I’ve learned from the Mental Health Industry I’m so pleased to be bringing the respect it so deserves is this. Like life goes mental health. No one can make another human being do anything or accept positive suggestions for a more stable life. For the media to highlight the worst internal conflicts of failure in the human condition is troublesome for me. Oh well, I’m faced with it daily and it hasn’t knocked 1% off my faith in humanity.

Citizens of America the ball has always been in your court. If you believe human beings can control every emotion or thought as you’ve read above, none of us can make ourselves perfect by our actions. It’s a fact I’m alarmed about all the laws relaxing responsibility while elevating vigilante behaviors.

I have to say this. Even now at 56 years old, I would smile ear to ear just observing the beauty in this world. I certainly wouldn’t be violent towards girls. No I do not own a gun. I’m retired Army. Never saw the need for one personally.

Oh, and by the way. I am going to call our those ‘evangelical Christians’ that didn’t practice what they Bible thump every day to help an injured human being bleeding while ‘standing at their door and knocking’. 3 doors before probably an atheist helped him.

Oh, for everyone else that don’t believe in God or believes in whatever you call your higher power. He sent an angel to help that boy stay alive. What we call vengeance is like a doll house standing next to a 100 foot skyscraper. Everybody gets what’s coming to them and I mean everybody. Trust me. I’ve seen it with mine own eyes!

If you ask me I would say the Republicans are doing this flooding the zone with guns, while their buddies at Fox News stoke non-existent crime in the streets. Why do you think it didn’t work for them in the last series of elections? Stay onto their games citizens. Look at things through your own eyes. If the Republicans are making America better, then vote for them. If the Democrats are making America better, then vote for them.

Look at the progress. How do you think you got to make the money you’re making now? Unless I’m mistaken the Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour. Look pass the disdain on your Republican official’s faces and ask them some of the questions I told you in my last post. I hope they don’t knock you out because I’m pretty sure they’re thinking about it.

Solid progress. Just keep it going.

CAN’T YOU READ THE SIGN?

Can’t You Read The Sign?

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Yes, I know. There is a famous song out there that is quite appropriate for this digital post. The song is called: Signs, by The Five Man Electrical Band 1971. Listen to it again if you haven’t heard it in a while. If you’re not at peace before you play it you will be afterwards. Feel free to play it as many times as you like. Music doesn’t come therapeutically ready for the majority of us anymore. Well, enjoy the song.

Listen citizens of America. I’m mainly speaking to the ones that keep voting for Republican Party officials. I want this group of voters to make a sign. I will tell you what you should put on it in a minute, but please feel free to put the things you are strongly behind your official on it first. Now I’m asking you to put on your sign this:

‘We’re not going to fix school shootings’. Republican

‘Florida Governor signs 6-week abortion ban’. Republican

‘Debt ceiling will not be increased without spending cuts’. Republican

‘Abortion is as evil as slavery’. Republican

‘No raising the minimum wage from $7.25 hour to $15 hour’. Republican

‘Books I don’t think others should read will be banned’. Republican

Make up any sign you want on an 8 ½ by 11 inch standard sheet of copy paper. Tape it next to whichever door you exit your home for work. Look at it every day. If you are fine with the power you keep giving to the very people who don’t give a flying fuck about you, keep doing it. I’ve put my soul into cleaning up a lot of the stupidity I bought growing up. Some I learned from parents that meant well, but were misguided. Most I had to realize on my own. I was playing the role of a tiger jumping through hoops for the amusement of the people in power.

No child will be saved by you voting for a Republican official. Democrats I admit have always been afraid to fight back fiercely for the rights of all. The ARC of Time will no longer straighten. Change is inevitable. Voter. Ask yourself just one question?

Who is trying to make things better for everyone? If you answer that question honestly, then vote for whomever you want. No more crocodile tears for what comes afterwards please. How did one of my favorite lines from the song ‘SIGNS’ go. ‘The Sign said, you got to have a membership card to get inside’.

It means why do you need a membership card when you’re already a member of God’s creation. Oh well, go figure.

democracy? NEVER HAD IT

democracy? Never Had It!

My own astonishment is one thing, but absorbing all the shock and profound disappointment from Democrats, Independents and like-minded citizens is curious. My last digital article spoke about those people that have only one lot in life which is their pursuit of ‘POWER’. First the rest of us that are witnessing the birth of a nation that truly gives to all people their value know this ‘period of time’ this arc is necessary to reach Dr. Martin Luther King’s ‘DREAM’. ‘Content’ means… to look intellectually at what’s before you and discern it’s worth truthfully.

Achieving equality through the ‘content of character’ means ‘power’ must not be ‘hoarded’ as it is now. My loyal readers to whom I will forever be grateful know that as a Black man I believe America‘s goal or her ‘ideals’ are obtainable. Obtainable with the participation of everybody. That’s why I believe America has never truly been democratic. Hold on a minute. Let me explain.

When fighting a war history tells us every battle will not be won. The greater focus as it should be is to win the war. Sure there are pockets of democracy in America, but it isn’t a sure thing to last long. It is not enough to point to examples where full representation for a diverse community thrives. Economic growth (more topics to be examined later) is what I’m trying to help bring about here. I believe it is possible to have 3 hundred and fifty to 5 hundred thousand high paying jobs created every month in America. The key is having everybody knowing their voices are heard and acted upon.

That is why those who now have the ‘power’ the Republicans are and will use every devious and demonic trick they know to hold onto it. Now this is the part where I piss off some people. Evangelicals or as I call them ‘EVANDEVICALS’, you all better hope God has a sense of humor. Just because old white men told you that power belongs to you just means you will share their spiritual fate. For God’s sake you are voting for people who don’t have a problem with children being murdered.

Read that last sentence again. Just because you want to hold onto ‘power’ you are also saying it’s okay for children to be slaughtered. Yeah you are! If you believe I’m lying on you prove me wrong. Do something right for a change. Vote straight Democrat from dog catcher to city council to Federal representative, Senator and United States President.

White women and men voting Republicans in office have caused all our short comings. Do you want a prosperous future for yourself and your children? You have got to see that what President Biden and the U.S. Congress has done to pass legislation to pull our prosperity from the unseen world into reality! Help yourself if that’s all you’re thinking about. Just vote those people out of the way that are afraid of the change that will come sooner or later. No matter what, change always comes.

Do you want China, Russia, Europe to lead in innovation? Clean energy and restoration of our natural resources? Do you want to sit back and say somebody else will do it knowing ‘that’ somebody else ‘ain’t thankin bout chu’!

democracy? You never had it. It is possible though to have it one day.

PULL OVER

Pull Over

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Realize this: Only a spiritual traveler pull off the road, stops and waits, lets whoever doesn’t choose to do what’s right off and continues on his or her way.

The evil traveler doesn’t believe anyone wants to get off because by deception evil has made things seem likely good. Therefore evil just increases speed never minding limitation signs, if anything, evil hurries you along to your destruction.

Now I’m not in the corner of Republican politicians whether they are local, city, state or Federal. I have to recall and say again my admiration for a major hoodwink they put on those that vote for them. From law enforcement on down to so-called ‘evangelicals’, (what that word means isn’t borne out in behavior) the Republican mantle has pulled off some doozies. First I got to hand it to them on guns. They’ve actually fooled law enforcement into thinking they were their greatest champions. That something they did was quite amusing, but only in the sense that they got completely bamboozled.

What law enforcement official at any level tasked with helping to maintain an orderly and decent society thought more access to guns was a good thing? Or removing all legitimate requirements to owning a gun was a good thing? Maybe law enforcement facing military grade high velocity rifles was a good thing? None probably.

So in their zeal to support what they thought was an ally, law enforcement officials actually were partnering with evil disguised in goodly apparel harking sound speech. I don’t think law enforcement considered their support of Republicans at that time was foolish. What would they think now? Republicans don’t care about anything sacred or spiritual. Republicans only care about power. The power to release human beings from all restraints, rules and regulations!

Republicans couldn’t spell morals, virtues or decency. Not even the word order. No? They can? Explain to me then why a human being notified of children being slaughtered doesn’t show any sign of alarm? Children dying causes no heartbreak whatever. Children to Republicans are simply cannon fodder standing in the path of their ideals about what they can do with power!

Morals, virtues and spirituality aren’t and were never in the equation. Power corrupted is okay as long as it expands on their perverse doctrine of freedom. States rights? That’s just a precursor to ‘flip the script’ to say the ‘state’ is superior to Federal.

All of this sounds too yoked? Then tell me I’m wrong that a Federal Judge is about to substitute his personal beliefs for the accepted and understood knowledge of science. What’s next to be overridden when a buffoon says so? How about a local idiot bringing a court case to limit the United States Navy to ‘One’ submarine? Pull over and think about it.

We all are in the time of ‘The Courts’. A solemn era has arisen as it always has throughout history. From the authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 1 Corinthians 14:40…decently and in order. The ‘First Father’ has decreed that the ‘LAW’ must prevail so that righteousness holds evil at bay. Don’t worry I’m not naïve, I know evil is constant. We can still hold it off until we strengthen our commitment to ‘order’.

Judges have a book in the Holy Bible for God sake! Judges rule on matters for higher ideals. Judges don’t rule for hypocrites or for evil intent. Judges must weigh the ramifications of their rulings if those rulings serve to weaken the foundations of a society that is bending towards justice!

Judges must rule on matters that is within the law as written. The United States Congress passed laws to establish the rules that keeps our society from bursting out into disease, chaos and vulnerability to our enemies! When the law is wrong all of us must work to change it. There is a government office set up for disagreement and consultation on medicine. If a citizen wishes to dispute the purpose of a medication, he or she should petition that office and not a court of law!

Only the spiritual soul pulls over to let the contrary traveler off. After checking for clearance back to the road, the spiritual traveler only points his or her star towards justice. America, understand what you’re doing when you pick and choose for whom must the ‘LAW’ apply. Doing that is to assuredly say it applies to no one. Pull over and let that spirit of evil off. Once you do get your ass back on the road. Help draw out that ideal of a just society. Pick up those travelers!

TO THE ALTAR!

Republicans are members of a contrary political party that steadfastly passes death sentences on the young in America. As a Christian I’m the first to confess (confession its’ ancient meaning is to ‘eject, spew forth, remove that which ails you’) I struggle daily in some areas of right and wrong. What I don’t struggle with is seeing the faces of children and not know God has their back, front and coverage 360 degrees. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Luke 17:2…For it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

The ancient meaning of ‘offend’ is ‘be against, unjustly prevent goodness to flourish, make the belief in a benevolent being diminished’. Republican women have also signed onto this perversion of protecting the life that is already in the world. All people of good order and decency. Let not this belief flourish as that Republican Federal official said recently, ‘Nothing can be done to save children’. If you believe that stay home, while those that want children that God has allowed to pass through the ‘MATRIX’ (Number 18:15) the chance at life do something good and decent about it.

Now my loyal readers, do you understand why I’m so disgusting by those that speak in the name of God, but their hearts are far from the ALTAR. We must all bring them dragging and screaming, figuratively please, to the ALTAR! These ‘Evandevicals’ speak great swelling words of vanity, but their hearts are far from the actual teachings of the Holy Bible. Tell them to their face that their lies about the sanctity of life are now known to all!

Don’t let them off the hook ever again. Tell them to their face. ‘I know your lies now. I know the life you see in front of you is meaningless. Ask them, ‘Do you see the life in front of you is being murdered’? Care for them first. The unborn is in God’s hands and not yours. Tell them to know the difference and save the children!

CRIME PAYS?

Crime Pays?

This fantasy is amusing. For many years America has been entertained by the exploits of so-called masterminds in a disjointed underworld of criminal overlords. Where behavior that is outlawed is routine and common. Society just shrugs and goes about their daily duties trudging along as if criminal misdeeds are confined to a tightly controlled space patrolled by designated law enforcements officials at all levels of government. I must admit this fantasy world as presented by an industry designed to distract us from the decay that ensues worked on me, but that sense of safety evaporated quickly when my car stereo was ripped from the dashboard of my Dodge Colt.

Maybe a better vision of what crime does to a community is beholding the aftermath of a tornado. The destruction is so complete that it freezes the soul in place. The mind fails. It is as if your life has suddenly been swept away by forces whose only intent were to change your perception of life as you knew it. My own experiences and what other people have shared with me both verbally and nonverbally alters what you believed about what’s good in life.

Crime is similar to the whirlwind. It falls upon you without warning and leaves a wake of destruction as it churns up debris disorienting your thoughts. Does crime stir up feelings of revenge or cruel desires for it to be inflicted upon others? Why then would you say that the law shouldn’t come a calling to everyone that breaks it? I must not have been on the email string that day. Believe me, like my elder friend says to me, ‘I’m not the help’. Just because some people feel inferior to others doesn’t mean I also must submit to their beliefs.

If former President Donald Trump is accused of committing a crime, he should be afforded the same treatment as any other human being subject to the American Judicial System. Full stop! Just because people in New York have created a work of fiction around his life doesn’t stop the world from spinning. If prosecutors from the Federal to the local level do conclude they have compiled a case against him with proof enough for conviction they better bring it!

Now if the peanut gallery of Republicans and so-called ‘EVANDEVICAL’ Christians wish to come to his defense let them. Again from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Deuteronomy 27:25…Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say Amen. Didn’t Donald Trump say he could shoot somebody and get away with it? I’m talking to you ‘EVANDEVICAL’ Christians.

All those people that voted for Donald Trump twice knew who he was. Please don’t say at your judgment before the ‘First Father’ that you were just voting your political party. That would be weak on your part so just say, ‘yeah God I did vote for Donald Trump. What are you going to do? Throw me in the lake of fire?’

Ask anybody guilty or innocent sitting in prison does crime pay? I’m going to say this again as it must be uttered again. Life is not fiction! Oh, I forgot one last thing. I read about a Republican operative that works Republican politics saying that most Republican operatives have to work for Donald Trump because they don’t have the money to say no basically. This Republican said he could afford principles because he doesn’t need the money.

Must be nice to have a ‘soul’ after you’ve scorched the body politic. I wonder if this Republican operative has a problem with a Black District Attorney being called an ‘ANIMAL’. My guess is probably not. I guess in politics crime pays.

Oh yeah if you’re wondering. They busted my driver’s side door window to steal my radio. Couldn’t they just break the passenger door window? I mean come on.

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed because of diversity? Imagine that? That’s how White men have behaved for decades in America. I’m not going to recite American history because it would be playing into the hands of stupid people. Yeah, I’m referring to the stupid people that still think they can cover for White men by blaming all their failures on everything but their own ignorance. It must’ve been so nice to have zero talent and ability but be lauded and praised for decades. Wow, when I think about that it would’ve given me pause for like two seconds before I continued directing intelligence at the issues that face me.

I’m kind of vexed by that thought. Just the color of my skin would afford me license as the Chief Executive Officer of a public company to be as dumb as a rock and it would be excused. I get it. Now that there are more media outlets to obtain information on current events it isn’t so simple for the big media guys to spin the news the way they want. Frankly I’m a little miffed that Wall Street Journal person didn’t just say the ‘Black Guy’ crashed SVB. I mean just say it. The stupidest things I guess are no longer taken as gospel. Bummer.

Correction. I’m being told that lies work on the Fox News Network. My bad. Sorry about that folks. Amusement seems to be the forced content when logic attempts to light a fire under their thoughts in the heat of the moment.

Woke? The United States Federal Reserve interest rate hike caused the bank to collapse? An analogy would be like there is a typical family failing to budget, adjust and determine best expense practices based on income compared to the price of goods and services. Man, talk about taking my ball home if I’m not allowed to win. Jeez!

Something American households do with their finances every day and the executives of SVB couldn’t? I see I have to explain it to grown ass White men that life doesn’t work like that anymore. You don’t get to have zero talent covered up by a $1000 dollar suit while the world crumbles around you to the smiles of everyone in the room. Oh, by the way, I’d bet money no Black faces would be in that room. Just saying.

THE SOUL OF BLACK LAND

FROM: Mr. Victor E. Moseley

Foreword to this episode of ‘The Soul of Black Land’

My memories are deeper than I ever thought I could understand. My mother would tell her children about her brothers and sisters leaving Selma, Alabama. They went to the states of New York, Michigan and Ohio. While my siblings would dream about visiting these places I wondered why did they choose to go there? A reason why is what I sought, so I just quietly sat and thought about it as I grew up in a life of poverty.

Poverty began to focus my imagination. School served to clarify my conclusions on why life for me didn’t hold the allure and promise it gave others. Needless to say all I had were questions to which I vowed I would someday have answers. In this episode I will partially share what I believe were the reasons and the purpose my moms’ brothers and sisters moved away from Selma, Alabama.

Are we here for ourselves only? Is life simply about the pursuit of comfort and securing those necessities to sustain ourselves? My longings have weighted on my mind for too long for me to believe that. This is what I do know. There are two peoples that are all too familiar with longsuffering, oppression and tribulation. God’s chosen people the Israelites, Hebrews or Jews are many names they hold. Also Africans or more defined, African slaves throughout the ‘DIASPORA’ and their descendants in these modern times now called African Americans or Black folk.

Together we will explore what my heart has been counseling me for decades. What did my moms’ brothers and sisters receive when they got to these new places? Places they knew nothing about. How did they even begin to start a new life making a living? I believe the answer has always been known. African Americans should be helping one another. What is it that has caused us to go astray from what the ‘First Ancestor’ taught to us?

———————————What has been laid on the Heart cannot be removed——————-

THE SOUL OF BLACK LAND

Season One:

Episode Two: Make the Way Right Somehow

Prologue:

The Story is: (John is his name. He doesn’t even know if he has a middle or last name. John is the son of his slave mother who got pregnant with another Black slave she loved before she was sold to another plantation. John is nearly two times ten now and he has something planned. The year is 1843. A year that will not be like all the rest of his years. You see John is fair skinned which has afforded him many advantages. The master’s son and daughter liked him so much they began to see something they lacked under their father and subservient mother. It was defiance. A defiance that was laced with strength. Cleavur (pronounced ‘Cleavor’) and Lissqui (pronounced ‘Lis qu’) Munornado. Their father thought it would distinguish his family from all the run of the mill families slaughtering their slaves.

John, Cleavur and Lissqui played together. They began to understand what it meant to need another person. This led the master’s children to teach John how to read, write and add things up if he needed. John would share some of the things he learned. Things only a slave understood. John showed Cleavur and Lissqui how to manipulate others. Not that stupid technique of thinking you got something from somebody they were already going to give to you. John taught them to read a person and think beyond what’s in front of you to see the outcome before you open your mouth. This would serve all three of them well on their new adventure.

John didn’t have a choice. He needed help from somebody if he was going to make it to the starting line of his quest to go West. John wasn’t just a strong back and formidable presence to see to it that his master’s product was duly protected, cared and paid for. John also listened as the slave owners discussed what news was going around town about areas of America that were being opened to anyone willing to settle the land there. That’s where the idea was first born. John has spent many days and every moment he could laying on grass and filthy rags about the new Western frontier.

John was going to one day bend to his knees. Place both of his hands on the ground. On land that belonged to him.).

———————–Stay the Course———————–

(The going is having the starting line behind you, but the ground ahead in front of you. Dashurai, Cleavur, and Lissqui and are off the porch facing the world. Their thoughts were a warning to them. Do not let everything and anything stray you from the decision made long ago as young children. The three of them would forge a path where no path was cut. The three of them would be steady in the face of adversity. Lastly, the three of them would endure to the end no matter if that end was prosperous or paltry. The three of them would endure.

Fortune had smiled on them in that they actually had some money to buy, barter and trade along whatever the waypoints had in store. They knew they would find out soon. Not to worry about that they spoke to each other. That price is baked in the ‘cornbread’ Dashurai would often say. He knew Cleavur and Lissqui had an easier go of life and he wanted to get it in their heads to be ready for some rough times. He told Lissqui that she would have to be a ‘lady’ where being a ‘lady’ probably wasn’t going to be possible. He told Cleavur that he had to make sure his sister was ready to fight if he was not going to be at her side. Cleavur knew what he meant as he said, “I know what we’re about to face, so let’s get on with it”.

Well Dashurai said, ‘Not to over water the crops then’. The way forward is not clear. We will see firsthand what we’re facing and all of us need to think on the fly. Nothing about what we’re about to do favors us. We’re crossing into learning how things get done in real time and that’s not the same as listening to someone tell us how they did it. This is on us. Let’s be clear on that. Cleavur and Lissqui nodded in agreement is how Dashurai remembered how he got that point across.).

——————A Few Things That Never Seem to Come Up——————–

Dashurai: (Right now he is gathering with every former slave and ‘free men’ hired on to protect this ‘wagon train’ going West. Dashurai had a brief spell of reluctance to share with the other ‘colored men’ that he was from the Louisiana Territory. Someday it would be referred to as the ‘Bayou’ with all the mystery it still holds.). We all got to make sure we get these privileged White ‘settlers’ to the new frontier.

Ahuudo: (Pronounced ‘A hood o’, is ready to leave this place of dark souls. His name says loudly that he knows what he has witnessed is not the will of the God he was taught.). Dashurai, I’m with whatever you say. What do we gotta do?

Dashurai: I’ve got a lot of things on my plate and I will use every bit to make sure all of us get there. Use everything you’ve learned including how you’ve been treated and what you’ve seen. I mean this is the start of something new. Nobody owns us now. Understand that. Nobody tells us what we can or cannot do ever again. Channel that.

Ahuudo: Channel?

Dashurai: (Dashurai is strongest he says to himself. I am strongest because my mother saw I was a ‘correct’ child. She taught me from five years old what I needed to know. Often she would say I don’t have time to repeat myself John. Listen to me right now.). Ahuudo, there is a lot I’m going to have to do and I need someone to help me. We have to endure. That means to not give up no matter how tough the way forward is.

Ahuudo: I’m with that. Being a slave didn’t break me. It fueled me. I’m angry enough to kill a bear if I have to. No white man or any man will put their foot on me again.

Dashurai: Good good.

Ahuudo: What do we need to do now?

Dashurai: (Dashurai says his mother’s name to himself again. Ma’Rai (pronounced Ma Rye). She told him to say it aloud when he is alone.). We will stop the wagons soon. Night is about to be upon us. Tell the men to get ready to set up the camp.

————————–Another day down—————————–

(Dashurai has circled back to his brother and sister to tell them what will happen next. The men will scout ahead while the others will pull shifts keeping watch over the wagon train. Dashurai again tells Cleavur and Lissqui to expect anything to happen. Nothing is all that familiar to them right now. Don’t get cocky yet.).

Dashurai: Keep it in the line of thoughts you have crashing all over your head, but be ready to act on what is necessary in the moment. (Dashurai only had a quick talk with Cleavur and he was off to see to the colored men and the night watch.).

Cleavur: We’re coming up on night soon. We should get our provisions together Lissqui and be ready when the security troops signal they found us a good place to camp for the night.

Lissqui: I think recognizing the surrounding landscape with the setting of the Sun this time everyday offers the clues I’ve needed to get myself ready for nightfall.

Cleavur: Mr. Vaterborne, I’ll get us situated and get with the troops and let you know when things are settled for everybody to be fed and bedded down.

Mr. Vaterborne: You always do my good man.

Cleavur: Good, stay here. I’ll be right back while my sister helps the Mrs. get down from the coach to stretch her legs. (Lissqui could be quite the hostess just greeting and prancing around smiling from ear to ear as guests arrive to mingle in a beautiful southern mansion. Cleavur admires his sister fully embracing her role. All he has to do is trust that he fulfills his own.).

Mr. Vaterborne: My good man. You talk to that colored boy a lot I see. Do you have an understanding of some kind with him?

Cleavur: Dashurai? He is a hired hand. I feel he is capable of protected us as we travel through the countryside. It is simple as that. Does he scare you? A man of your standing Mr. Vaterborne.

Mr. Vaterborne: No son. I was thinking about what a free man could do.

Cleavur: Well his purpose is to get paid and settle somewhere he could purchase from his earnings. Is that a problem for you?

Mr. Vaterborne: Not at all as long as he doesn’t stay near me.

Cleavur: Oh trust me sir. He hasn’t a desire to fool with White faces as he passes his days on Earth.

———————————Trouble no more———————————

(Dashurai is back with every free man that hired onto this wagon train now. The discussion he is about to have amongst each and every one of them will surprise him.).

Ahuudo: I’m here to do two things. Make some money and go back to that plantation and get my woman.

Dashurai: Okay. (Dashurai knows how to handle this. The cascade of teachings his mother taught him are flooding back across every bone in his body. You better help. That’s what she told him. How you do it better end up right in the eyes of God she’d say. He’d answer yes Ma’Rai.). Then we got to make sure we look after each other.

Ahuudo: What do you mean, ‘Look after each other’.

Dashurai: Look, everything we do we have to do together. Fulfilling a promise on these lands I don’t know about you, but it seems you’re going to need help. Ahuudo, all we have is each other. Look around you. Do you see White faces rushing up to you ready to help you keep your promises?

Ahuudo: I seen the kind of help from ‘my’ faces. It was all about looking after yourself. What? You different?

Dashurai: Different? I’m certainly not like the other coloreds that have taken up the ‘malevolent’, evil nature of their masters. I don’t want nothing from nothing you own. We have been around each other only a couple weeks now. This I know. My mother helped me learn how to be about my work. I will never step over any colored man here or anywhere to get to where I’m going.

Ahuudo: Yeah, we will see.

Dashurai: That’s all I will ask from you. Let me show you what I will do for us all. Just stick together is all I ask from you.

—————————-When I dream a dream can I keep it?——————–

(The countryside is dense when you get off the beaten trail. No matter how true that statement is the danger of taking lands from people who own it isn’t lost on Dashurai. There is a lot of wrongs going on in this country now called America. My mother told me that the people that took our ancestors knew they were in over their heads. The only way to make a life for themselves in the ‘New World’ without money is to have someone do your work. The work you don’t have to pay them for.

It is just that simple she told me. Don’t spend your time wondering about what motivated the ‘White’ faces to enslave our people. Money is your answer. Save your time thinking about the things that matter. Look at life the way it is and think about life being another way. Think when others around you don’t. Say it back to me she would tell me and I’d say, ‘Think when others around you don’t’.

It has been a few weeks now Dashurai says to himself. The wagon train is about halfway there and he and all the coloreds are asking for their agreed upon wages for bringing the people to this point.).

Dashurai: Mr. Botharmine. It is time for our agreed upon wages. We are at the halfway point.

Mr. Botharmine: In a few moments I will make payment.

Dashurai: (Just like they talked about Dashurai thinks. Cleavur and Lissqui told him the ‘White’ faces will try you to see if you’re serious about your wages.). Hold on Sir, Mr. Botharmine I need you to pay my men and me right now.

Mr. Botharmine: (Looking at all the colored faces around him staring through him, Mr. Botharmine knew they weren’t about to break into singing a church song. He thought the safer course would be pay up and keep his health.). Right you are. I did agree upon this payment arrangement didn’t I.

Dashurai: (After all the men got paid, Dashurai and Ahuudo talked for a while as the other colored men secured their wages.). What we just did we have to do all the time. Everybody together. Stand together for just what we worked for and nothing more.

Ahuudo: I saw that. I never saw that what I just saw in my life. All day. Day in and day out just fear and beatings. I still don’t know you, but.

Dashurai: Stay the way you are Ahuudo. I just need everybody to just do what they know how to do. I’ll do what I have to do. Just be ready to do what you have to do. That’s all I’m asking.

Ahuudo: I will.

Dashurai: I too have some promises I made back where I came from. I hope I’m able to show my mother that I did do what she told me to do.

Ahuudo: I can be with you on mothers. The strength of will I have came from my own mother. I too didn’t spend more than ten years with mine. I got taught respect, but I also got strength from her.

Dashurai: Mine made me repeat after her all the time. Did your mother do something to make you remember what she told you?

Ahuudo: Yeah, she went upside my head when I didn’t listen. After a while I got it.

Dashurai: (Dashurai chuckles as he got a few slaps upside his head when he wasn’t answering his mother quick enough.). We got that in common.

——————————–Quicker Dashurai quicker———————————–

(Dashurai takes a break. His guard shift has ended, but he isn’t a hard sleeper. He remembers how his mother woke him with rustlings and ramblings once a week just to develop his sense of awareness even when he closed his eyes to rest. Dashurai mumbles a prayer of assurance to fulfill his mother’s wishes, and a vow to not faint when adversity comes a calling. I don’t have the luxury of a kind world. Maybe someday it will come. A day when men and women don’t have to be hard on their children just to see that they live no matter the spirits of evil surrounding them.

Dashurai will keep learning quickly. He says to himself, ‘I’ve got to be strong. Mother told me don’t think about finishing your race. You will not see the fruits of all your colored brothers and sisters, nor will you be able to rest from your work’.

Enough of sitting here thinking about all that must be done. Now I must work this wagon train.).

Cleavur: We’ve come a good ways now Dashurai. What do think about the road ahead?

Dashurai: This way has been cleared. There are a few towns ahead of us. Some soldiers, horse thieves and cattle rustlers have been reported scattered. I have a plan that will smoke them out if we encounter them.

Cleavur: Tell me and I’ll see if it is something I would do.

Dashurai: If we come across them I believe they will be watching us when we cross open plains of land. I suggest before we do we split the wagon train into smaller parts. Make them believe that the taking will go easier if they don’t have to shoot it out with a lot of horsemen.

Cleavur: It needs to at least four parts. Four parts with fast horses and sharpshooters spread across all four parts. Leave it to me to tell the big shots. These country folk aren’t tough enough to count on in a fight, so I’ll need to spread out all our colored guards to make sure these folks stay alive.

Dashurai: Alright. I’ve got fourteen colored men that are good shots and they can fight it out up close if they need to.

Cleavur: I seen you talking to that one colored man many times. What can you report on him? Can you say if he is an enemy or a friend by now?

Dashurai: (Ma’Rai would say you need to work quicker. Find out about him and make a judgment.). Ahuudo? He could be. I’ll say he’s a friend.

Cleavur: I’m surprised. You are working quickly aren’t you?

Dashurai: What do you know of it? Did I say something to you about how my mother raised me?

Cleavur: I’m caught up on a lot of things Dash. Look, saying sorry for the way your people. I can’t even begin to stop all the madness in these lands right now. Right now White folks have all the power. I know what has to be done to break off some of that power.

Dashurai: Snap it off.

Cleavur: Forcefully taking control of your life has been your sole reason to get out of Kentucky. Look I know you still face slave hunters looking for a pay day. An ally is better to be had than facing these idiot hunters alone.

Dashurai: All the power is in the hands of White faces. I’m still not going to accept that as my destiny even if some destinies in this country turn thievery into holiness.

Cleavur: You are stronger in your mind. I need you to stick to the plan. Tell me what you’re thinking and I will present it to the White folks that own this wagon train. You know the deal. What you want is bigger than a wagon train.

Dashurai: You’re right Cleavur. Just had a minute there of losing sight of what’s important that’s all. I’m back now. That’s good. Four parts with three colored men to each part. Two will roam with me as I follow the happenings and adjust strategy if necessary.

Cleavur: I need to be close enough to you to figure out what you’re doing and tell everybody that you are doing what you were told.

Dashurai: Alright. That works then. Keep alert Cleav. I have much depending on this first wagon train, and yes to your question about Ahuudo. I believe he has an independence to his beliefs. I do need his help, but I need to proceed like my mother taught me. Don’t waste words as talking should mean something every time you open your mouth.

Cleavur: Wise words indeed Dash.

—————————————-Hostile Encounters———————————–

(Who says the presentation of violence is any different. Whether it appears as a physical beating. Whether it appears as a burning using hot water. Whether it is served up by the ‘Massaa’ (pronounced ‘Mass’Ah) siccing his dogs to rip flesh from our bodies. Maybe it is just the threat of violence that warned us it could come in any form.

Ahuudo thinks in his heart that running from his memories has him exhausted. He will not run. He will turn and face whatever comes at him from now until his maker snatches his ass up and judges him. His heart has also chased him from new moon to new moon. The sky he thinks to himself does present to him a day he has never seen before or will see again. Ja’Nee, that was her name. My mother’s name is Ja’Nee. Ahuudo was beside himself. No he was mad at himself for not recalling the name of his mother more quickly. When he thought of her he smiled.

That will never happen to my children. Ever! They will know their mother’s name and when they speak it they will smile and laugh with joy. I promise that!

I will do whatever it takes to get my woman and live out my life with her. If she wants to have a family we will love our children with a fierceness daring anyone to separate us. This is what I will do for my family. No one that doesn’t have it coming will get it. Violence will be met with strong violence in return Ahuudo vowed to himself. Ja’Nee is my mother. I will not be afraid to speak her name ever again.).

Ahuudo: Dashurai, I want to be on the security for the last wagons.

Dashurai: Okay, if that’s what you want. There will be more trouble at the end. More troublemakers in larger numbers trying to scare off some of the wagons to make easy pickings of them. I thought you wanted to make it to the ‘open territory’ and take your money and go back to find your woman?

Ahuudo: That’s what I said. I also want to help. Look, I don’t know nothing about you, but I seen you. I looked at you scout ahead. I saw you chase off wolves. I had a problem with beatings. I’ve taken many and I’ve seen many. I’m tired of that.

Dashurai: You want the chance to give a little of that back huh?

Ahuudo: No. I want the chance to stop it. The ‘MEEK’ shall inherit the Earth. My mother said it. Mama Ja’Nee said meek means to be gentle. In ancient times it means ‘supportive’. To ‘suffer’ but be ‘hopeful’. ‘Believe in more than yourself’, Mama Ja’Nee said. I believe because I have an undying love for my woman. I must do what a man should do. ‘Protect your woman’.

Dashurai: (Dashurai is taken aback. Another new feeling washes over him. He decides quickly to take Ahuudo at his word. Ma’Rai said be faithful and he will.). You’re on the back end. We’re coming up on the areas where a lot of the trouble has been passed back to the starting stations. You are strong Ahuudo. I need that strength now.

Epilogue:

(Dashurai, Cleavur and Lissqui have crossed the divide of the known into the unknown. Days, weeks and nearly a month has passed since they left Kentucky. The cascade of experiences so far hasn’t broken their resolve to establish their names in a new land. Dashurai sits alone. He believes something that has been on his mind more than anything else. What happens when all this ends. He remembers the little bit of history Cleavur and Lissqui shared with him on world conquerors.

Dashurai can’t shake the feelings that slavery will become incompatible with change. He has heard things. Communication over a wire. How can someone communicate over a wire? Even the train he sees rolling along on iron rails like kinfolk crossing long ago paths to renewing of relationships. Injustice can’t sustain all the wild tales he hears about this new young country. Maybe it can.

One thing Dashurai knows. Much of the injustice that occurs is all too routine. For those drunk with power to release it from their grip he doesn’t see it happening willingly. Abolishing slavery will cause great problems. The problems on the front end were small. The problems that are coming when slavery ends Dashurai believes will come on the ‘back end’.

The ‘back end’ oh my goodness. What is it about power that drives those that have it insane? Dashurai thinks about his friends’ father. How he would act like a demon trying to keep the fire roaring hotter if an angel shows up with ice water. Money means power and no matter what I think it is always held onto like a young colored slave girl. Oh brother, she’s a production mill. Get it now? Come whatever may though, Dashurai, Cleavur and Lissqui have vowed to accept the challenges. All challenges to soul and body.).

LIES CRUMBLE

Lies Crumble

Written by: Victor E. Moseley

Email: vemoseley@landcause.com

Personally I’m offended by the suggestion that America itself has been telling herself the truth. Oh sure, sometimes when it was necessary to rally our men and women, and I mean all our men and women across every race, creed, nationality and sexual orientation. The World was at War in the 1930’s to the 1950’s. Lies of deception in war are necessary to prevent a more ominous threat to claw deep into human tendencies of oppression. What lies has America told itself you’re wondering impatiently? I’ll give you a few that have consequentially altered American reality long before the lies the modern media and Fox News tells.

The ’FIRST BIG LIE’ was told that America was established or formed as a Christian nation. The settlers started out by ravaging the natives in search of gold. Then the settlers flimflammed the natives out of large areas of land without compensating them for it. Not very Christian is it to take something by deception or outright thievery? When this happened the ‘settlers’ realized they didn’t have the labor to work the land. What do they do next? They begin to formulate the next ‘LIE’.

The ’SECOND LIE’ is that God wanted the ‘settlers’ to have this part of the world. I guess it was probably based on some reading of the Holy Bible cut and pasted to justify their depravity. Manifest Destiny huh? This is what these ‘wanna be’ tough guy dictators around the world mean when they speak of American hypocrisy. All these ‘nutjob’ Republicans wishing to ‘whitewash’ how America was formed play right into their hands. It doesn’t matter that destabilization of the world isn’t a practice anymore. These so-called ‘dictators’ smirk with glee when they hear us lie about what we’ve done to our own people.

The ‘THIRD LIE’ is America was made prosperous by White people and White people alone. I know the ‘VICTORS’ write the history but jeez! I really don’t care if there are large numbers of people, hell millions of people watching FOX NEWS to reenforce their alternate reality of America. Good. Knock yourselves out! It doesn’t alter, lessen or make what is true false. Slave labor laid the foundation that so many monolithic structures sit upon to this very day. Think? Why so many companies (as Jon Stewart said lately about Republicans I say applies to many human motivations) don’t give a flying fuck about their workers or for God’s sake the planet itself? Hundreds of years of American history has shown them how to make money.

I’m closing this post right now with this. God hasn’t seen the inside of a church in America since America was formed. My beliefs tell me that God has heard a few men and women of faith and answered their prayers. Don’t get it twisted he ever stepped foot in churches that prayed to the Devil and went out and lynched Black men. Churches that raped little children and none of these men and women of faith made the slightest audible sound. Don’t insult God anymore please. Don’t tell me God is in your so-called churches and all you so-called Christians do is give your stupid ass congregants freedom to hate the next group of people.

Lies crumble eventually. Ask the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov if lying endures? The laughter he received should tell everyone that still thinks they can be ‘lukewarm’ they better pack a camelback. You’ll need one. Hell is pretty hot.

Who do so-called Christians hate now? Oh, I believe now it’s drag queens. Drag queens? Really? I thought history books taught me that men used to dress and adorn themselves as women throughout the ages. I guess if Republicans are successful in banning all books people could reasonably say they never read about that. That’s the point? Sorry, you’re right.

UNRAVELING?

Unraveling?

Let me see if I got this straight. So the Food and Drug Administration approved this drug mifepristone that was researched, tested and proven effective for its intended use, but a Republican decided to challenge it being prescribed as intended on religious grounds. Do I have that right?

Let’s look at the implications of a court ruling against a public corporation that has spent money, followed a legally approved process, after a period of years finally started to get some return on investment, but a so-called religious nutjob has the right to lay that all aside? A company, a pharmaceutical company now has to pass a religious test, get approval from hypocrites to put their products on the market?

Let’s keep going. Accounting for everyone that will lose out in that ‘legal process’ a Federal Court has deemed valid. I’m sure all pharmaceutical companies are hiring lawyers right now to get approval from ‘EVANDEVICALS’ before researching cures or counter measures to human conditions before proceeding. Let’s not forget that a company will be restricted from earnings off their research. Shareholders will be denied a reasonable return on their investment dollars. Management and employees wages will be cut. Government at all levels tax revenue will be reduced. Local businesses will see their revenues decline as customers have less to spend.

Oh, almost forgot. Aren’t the courts funded by tax revenue? I know fees and court costs are paid by everyone coming before a court of law, but aren’t the operating budgets paid for by tax dollars? Don’t worry, I didn’t forget the crucial sector of the American economy that actually thrives on medical research and these approved drugs to save lives and give women choices. Have you lost faith in me? I got you. Keep reading.

I’m doing what I always do. Game out all the repercussions that could and will result from an unwise and shortsighted society to its demise. How do you think our enemies foreign and domestic come at America? They come at America through the ignorant zealots living in voids of darkness so vast light cannot penetrate their thinking. These so-called Republican zealots seek to unravel America because America is finally reaching for that great ideal. ‘That all Men and Women are created equal’.

Are we seriously considering letting a bunch of lowlifes tell us what books we can read? If the internet is free, by the way it was created by the Federal Government, or submit to revising a dark and brutal history of America? Can’t talk about a system of slavery that lasted for hundreds of years? Do you really believe such a system wouldn’t have remnants of it floating in the ether? I heard today someone say that forgiveness comes after someone asks for forgiveness. They were speaking about Ukraine’s people forgiving Russia for the atrocities they are committing in Ukraine. Yeah, forgiveness also comes after a confession of the truth.

One of my wife’s female friends has the God given ability to put contraptions together. She can see spatially how the structure should look in her mind and put it together exactly the way the instructions specify. I am in awe of her skills I tell you. My abilities lie in understanding a dilemma from every which way it will come. America, beware of what’s coming at you.

Our enemies seek to stymie and unravel America’s push for a just society in ways that everyone cannot conceive. The things I mentioned above are just the beginning.

OPEN EXPRESSION

Open Expression

Often times I’ve wondered how life has transpired for so long the way it has in America. Only certain groups of people were made to feel welcomed while others were demonized in order for the ‘privileged’ to feel comfortably looking the other way. Thankfully there are vast resources and content providers that now offer a take from different points of view.

Take for instance the tragic case of Brandon Miller bringing his teammates gun to him. Mr. Miller’s teammate is alleged to have used it to kill a woman. If I were to stop right there many self-righteous ‘EVANDEVICALS’ would condemn Mr. Miller for bringing personal property to his teammate. Question? Did Brandon Miller know his teammate would use the gun and allegedly kill someone? Is Brandon Miller responsible for what his teammate did with the gun after he delivered it to him? Right. Now you’re thinking for yourself and not drawing conclusions.

I work in Mental Health and I’ve heard I’m not responsible for my behavior dozens of times. Is it true what we do is the fault of others? No it is not true! Using the same logic I could reasonably state that a parent is responsible for their children’s actions, and if the parents didn’t decide to have their child then such events would not have occurred. Sounds stupid doesn’t it?

I have more so just keep reading. President Vladimir Putin of Russia blames Ukraine and the West (America and European countries) for starting the war in Ukraine. Now I spent a lot of my time watching how American media outlets swooned and fawned over President Putin as they fondly called him a strongman. Just gushing. Would a strongman duck and cover while tucking his tail between his legs, or would a so-called ‘strongman’ say ‘Yeah I started the war in Ukraine bitch! Do something about it.’

I’ve read and seen ‘MOBSTER’ movies, television shows about crime bosses and their court trials with men telling their rivals they ordered their demise.

That should put to bed the myth of President Vladimir Putin thank goodness. Now about the train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio. What is it President Biden should do again? Come visit the site? I thought that train wreck was not caused by a natural disaster. Am I mistaken? So that clown show of a Mayor in that East Palestine city wants President Biden to visit a corporation’s train derailment? Okay maybe the President should visit my house and comfort me for burning my toast. I had an auto accident recently as well. Is President Biden responsible for my car crash too?

President Biden is not going to show up at every disaster caused by irresponsible companies and individuals. President Biden doesn’t run Norfolk Southern. Norfolk Southern’s CEO should say so if he had any honor in his bones. The President of Norfolk Southern should say, ‘Don’t blame the President of the United States for the decisions I made as I run this company. I could’ve implemented safety protocols but I didn’t. Not President Biden. Me.’ Yeah, everybody loves to divert blame when they are the ones responsible for their bad judgment.

I’ll tell you something about all these assclown politicians coming after President Biden for his age? I guess only the intelligent people recognize a ‘tell’ when they see one. Listen people the rivals for President Biden’s job can’t touch his record of success. That’s why they come up with cockamamie adolescent attacks on his ability to lead and succeed I tell you. I chuckle constantly at these so-called political rivals to President Biden straining their hardest (I’m sure their butt cheeks as well) to throw an alternate reality at the wall in the desperate hope it will stick. Amusing.

Here’s what’s coming at yah. President Biden still has his foot on the economic gas all the way to the floor! President Biden’s cabinet are scanning every option to get the bills he passed out to the places that need it with all dispatch. America’s regions, sectors of the economy, and areas of the country that are about to explode in employment are counting on it. How to get skilled people, companies, educational institutions in synch to fully apply infrastructure funds. The Chips and Science Act. How to get the younger generation of workers to move up their decisions on where to find the right job opportunities. What education to pursue in line with their passions of course. Lastly for now as this isn’t a complete list of things to come. Expansion is here right now baby!

Look and move smartly America. President Biden has this economic boom breaking sound barriers all over the country and he will not rev America’s engine down. Economic booms do not occur often as history has documented. The one man we need to lead us to take advantage of every iota of these times is already President of the United States. His age? Yeah sure. You wish you had the ability to hone and harness decades of experience in government like President Biden skillfully does. Showing all his rivals and potential rivals how it’s done every day.

If I had to give some advice to President Biden I’d simply tell him to don’t feel sorry for his opponents as you run up the score. Keep executing at his superior level and let the ‘fools’ talk about your age. Obviously they know they won’t be able to stand next to you on stage behind a gigantic poster of your accomplishments compared to their empty store bought white poster board written with a sharpie.

Show out Mr. President Biden! Just show out.

COLORED PEOPLE

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 27: A Throne Unto Themselves

Let’s work together on this one. I’ve been admonished to take into account the counsel of my wife along with the counsel of the few wise people I turn to when the storms in my life seem to linger. So, let’s talk about the ‘THRONE’. Many of us, as should be, are masters in our own home. Unfortunately the zealous nature of ruling a single kingdom seems to be unrestricted when taken to task by the fiefdoms that surround it. That’s where the problems arise. When a human being believes their idea of what ‘law’ is overrules any infraction ruled in violation of widely accepted laws.

From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Romans 2 verses 14-15…14 For when the Gentiles , which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves. 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.

‘A law unto themselves’ and ‘Accusing or else excusing one another’. How many human beings throughout time have acted in the name of God? How many of them when standing before God were justified by God? I’d say probably the number wouldn’t equal the fingers on one human hand. Oh, the criminal justice system are the worst offenders. How many of these ‘arbiters of blind justice’ would fall under the heading ‘a law unto themselves’?

Oh I’m getting to the so-called ‘Christian Nationalists’. Listen this is the thing. When you trust in yourself to love your neighbor as yourself you’re already lost. Here’s what I was missing and the truth I discovered through communion with my wife. The ‘Law of God’ is supreme in that he entrusted his son Jesus to judge everyone by his ‘LAW’. Now an ordinary person would conclude that he or she is free from ‘confusion’ now if only he or she follows the ‘Law of God’ faithfully.

That’s not the case in the majority of people living in America. Don’t believe me? Why is it so easy to condemn to death by degradation? Why do Republicans or should I say ‘EVANDEVICALS’ be so sure of their righteousness? Everything they propose is cruel from restricting the rights of women to control their own health care. Restricting the right to vote by stripping away ease of access to the ballot box. So-called Christian Nationalists authorized their believers to hate everyone that don’t submit to their ‘A law unto themselves’ doctrine.

Here’s the thing. If you read a Bible that’s watered down mealy-mouthed laced with uncertainty bound with nice sunshine and fields full of flowers words; you’ll believe all your pronouncements and conclusion are binding and not up for review as well. That’s why throughout a real Bible one of the consistent themes sways us that safety rests in God. Only if you set his law as supreme and follow him. Now now don’t get your superiority in a twist. You can still ‘accuse or excuse each other’.

It doesn’t matter if you seem to be a good person behaving and abiding by acceptable laws of your country. If you don’t adhere by submission to the ‘law’ of a supreme authority you’re still not justifiable. In other words, you’ll be good until some offense overtakes you and you commit a wrong and have it excused by those of your same ilk. That’s why so many people that claim they ‘submit’ to a higher power are hilariously misguided.

As if God really need some inbred snaggle toothed clown in a clown suit shouting from an altar in their so-called church that hatred is a good thing. If God wanted that he would’ve allowed ‘Lucifer’ to stay as our ‘teacher’ in how to worship the Creator. At least ‘Lucifer’ was gorgeous and well spoken although far too ambitious for his own good. Yikes! Wouldn’t want to be him. That fall must’ve taken a long time to hit bottom. Whoooh!

Listen false Christians and ‘master race lunatics’, you’re not in charge of the world. Everything doesn’t go through you idiots anymore. Your media lackies can’t darken the face of O. J. Simpson and nobody catches on to your evil. Oh right, somebody did call you on that evil. My bad. Well, you can’t get away lying saying women are breaking toward Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections. Oh, somebody did call you on that too? My bad again. I’d better stop while I’m behind.

I guess slaying innocent people and being rewarded for it is fast falling out of style. Don’t worry though, somebody will come up with something to slay innocent humans again with all the so-called Christians surely backing the policy 100%. They already did? That’s right the police do still have qualified immunity. Shocker! I mean look how many fell for that ‘Crypto Currency Scam’. Keep flooding the zone with stupidity. Suckers are born every minute.

Oh well. Stay on your ‘THRONES’ people. With that kind of support from ‘fake Christians’ there’s no better way to slay human beings and get away with it.

THE FOOLISH ARE DANGEROUS PEOPLE

The Foolish Are Dangerous People

Does anyone know of a friend or acquaintance that wants to show off a fancy new purchase? An expensive car or a home entertainment system? An item they just want you to know all about it and how it works right? Tell me something. Why would we want somebody like that in charge of keeping our military and technological abilities secret? I know most of you already know where I’m going with this, but I will continue painting this picture just for the sake of clarity. Now when the United States shot down that Chinese Intelligence Device we gave them intelligence in return. Oh, you didn’t know that?

Say that Chinese contraption was at 60 thousand feet when it was successfully downed by one of our most advanced aircraft. Now the Chinese know that our next level technology can engage incoming at extreme altitudes. It gets better. The Chinese know that a certain political party, Republicans, will spew the same tired old rhetoric they always do in a feeble attempt to undermine the President of the United States. Not done yet folks. The Chinese or any of America’s adversaries can glean from this event they should develop new capabilities to defeat our capabilities.

Sun Zhu in the Art of War said something like ‘don’t reveal your strengths or weaknesses to your enemies for they will exploit them’. We have a foolish political party in the Republicans gleefully giving our adversaries exactly what they want! That is why women, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and all people from all walks of life didn’t want them back in power.

Furthermore, these so-called polling results showing that very few Democrats don’t want President Biden to run for reelection ‘smells’ to me like the same stench that the ‘media’ proclaimed that women were breaking for the Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections. Yeah women everywhere want to go back to the time before ‘SUFFRAGE’. Sounds like somebody is trying to turn the American public back to not voting for what’s right for them doesn’t it?

Myself? I’m like yeah. I show hate President Biden is helping to set the conditions for a prosperous America. I show wish he’d stop doing that. He’s making me believe that I could achieve more than I ever thought possible now. Whew, I’d wish I would believe the ‘MEDIA’ again when they tell me President Biden just sat in his office on his hands for 2 years doing nothing.

If it weren’t for sarcasm this world would be stuck in a rut. Listen me carefully and clearly now. I don’t care about old money or new money millionaires and billionaires wanting to ‘oppress the hireling in their wages’. Get this through your thick skulls. The 3 major networks had their chance to dominate the airways forever. You know what they did instead? They let their eyes, ears and heart glaze over with hush money. The ‘truth’ is that the ‘MEDIA’ discredited themselves long ago. Look in the record books if my words are causing ‘hot coals’ to sear your mind in agony.

President Biden has my full support because he is setting the conditions for all to succeed. This includes the wealthy. Believe in the foolish and never achieve anything, or believe your own eyes, ears and heart to make a good decision in your own best interest. It has always been true this saying. ‘Cast away your doubts and the doubts of others if you do not know the reason their doubt are your responsibility’.

HOW TO DEGRADE A HUMAN BEING

How To Degrade A Human Being

Instead of lamenting the fact that human beings are ‘quick’ to be defined and then judged as not a creation of the ‘First Father’ I choose to recall the long cracked unpaved road that got all of us here. ‘They are criminals’. ‘That’s an Indian’. ‘That’s a SLAVE’. ‘That’s a lesbian’. ‘That’s a Nigger’. ‘That’s White Trash’. ‘That’s a Homosexual’. ‘That’s a politician’. I’m sure all these words are familiar to us more apparently so in the so-called ‘EVANDEVICALS SECT’ of the Christian faith. I’ve labeled these false believers with their appropriate connotation because the history of humanity has shown they’ve failed all too often to deliver justice to the innocent.

Why can’t someone being suspected of doing something that is contrary to the good order and direction of a society be called and treated with respect like a human being? Why do human beings need to be thought of as less than such? Is it because as human beings we all want to let the ‘darkness’ that ‘walks’ around us in by excuse? The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 1 Peter 5:8… Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. In case you didn’t get my point, I don’t concede that the ‘darkness’ is inside us because that would mean the ‘First Father’ inserted the ‘Devil’ in the mix. I’m not ever going there.

So then it stands to good reasoning that we let in the ‘darkness’ when we don’t want to stay in the light. How come we can’t see everybody as a human being no matter what actions they take? How come we have to ‘lower’ the life of the ‘other’ to soothe our conscious of the ‘evil’ we are about to commit on another human being? Could it be our ‘righteous’ foolishness that has led us to sanction the ‘downgrading’ of another human being?

When did I authorize police officers to be judge, jury and executioner? Every time I pose that question I cannot be referred to where in the text it is written in God’s law. Here’s why. Again from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Deuteronomy 27:25…Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say Amen. All these Bible ‘thumpers’ that have been hyped up by the ‘media’ never did and will never speak to justice! Justice ‘waves’ them off because Bible ‘thumpers’ White ‘EVANDEVICALS’ will never follow the word of God!

That’s how you degrade a human being. One of my most admired post was titled ‘How Do You Degrade An Organization’. I trust I will not have to write about the degradation of the last stronghold – PLANET EARTH. Alas in our time we have seen many more ways to make those who have it in their heart to harm other human beings to have an easier go at it. This is why Black people say the phrase often, ‘Calling him everything but a child of God’. Here’s where we get an admonishment never to profane another person, and if a wrong is committed you still call them by their name.

The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Isaiah 51:15…But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: the Lord of hosts is his name. Human beings that are not beholden to a ‘code of honor’ will always act out the evil they let consume them. Remember the ‘Devil’ will devour you if you git up on his ‘table’. The Devil won’t use a knife or a fork nor he will wipe his mouth when he finishes. Then why are we so surprised that whatever race, creed, sex, nationality, color or religion so easily acts viciously against a fellow human being?

Yes devour means you’re now within another life form. Take note also of all those people who proclaim they are professionals offering justification for those ‘Killer Kops’. I spelled ‘kop’ that way because I don’t want to stain the entire profession with my disgust. Kicking a human being in the face when he is down. ‘5’ Black men beating an innocent man crying out for his mother. By the way, Mr. Nichols showed he was raised right in that he loved his mother greatly to know he could ‘run back to the stronghold’ of her house.

I didn’t forget ‘immigrants’. Where does it end is easy to answer? Never. ‘EVANDEVICALS’ are happy to rejoice in the presence of their false god as their god doesn’t see any wrong in their actions. So this is how it is. Just call everybody everything but their name, and these so-called Christians will never find fault being that they lounge in the stomach of Satan. Like the scripture said, they will always and have always rewarded the police for ‘killing innocent people’. Let the people say ‘AMEN’.

THE SOUL OF BLACK LAND

Season One:

Episode One: Time to Make Our Way

Prologue:

John was going to one day bend to his knees. Place both of his hands on the ground. On land that belonged to him.).

——————————The Introduction——————————

(This introduction is vital to the understanding of what these three people from two different ‘stations’ must discover about the world beyond what they have consumed so far. A pact must be entered into for their very survival depends on it. In the darkest times they surely know are coming, it means life or death. John cannot live with the ‘white mans name’ anymore. His mother whispered stories to him about the lands their ancestors walked upon in kinship to life. Lands that provided their food and housed their people.

His mother said they walked amongst lions without fear because they respected the contributions the lions must make to control other animals. So John couldn’t keep that name even if it meant an easier passage through to a prosperous future. John knew he had to do just honor to his ancestors to show his face to them upon giving up the ‘ghost’. ‘Dashurai Havein Hunavaelor’ pronounced ‘Da’sure’i Hav’Vien Hun’a’valor’. Yes his name means something now like it should or once did before his people were stolen. He will no longer use the name ‘John’ unless it was served in bringing forth ‘a means to an end’.

Dashurai knew a little something about ‘name calling’. It did make slaves angry and defensive which served the slave master only. ‘Go figure it out’ he told himself constantly. It served him well to include schooling him on how to build alliances. Friends he thought offered next to nothing when unsavory decisions had to be made. Alliances offered resources and rewards and Dashurai steadily made himself into the man he knew he must become. Physical strength was a resource to be deployed beyond intimidation. Intelligence was a resource that must be kept in the most sensitive manner possible.

Cleavur and Lissqui were his allies now. Allies were essential if this ‘ancestral’ bargain had any chance of paying off for all the parties to it. Dashurai, Cleavur, Lissqui. Let’s see how they navigated the obstacles that were boldly laid out before them to stay alive and achieve their desires.).

Dashurai: I don’t see any other way this is going to start for us.

Cleavur: By buying passage on a wagon train from here in Dumbassity Central, Kentucky to where now? Oh, to ‘Indian’ country full of land grabbing unwashed shit kickers.

Lissqui: Don’t you just love my brother Dashurai? I mean the names he comes up with ought to entertain us straight through to what area we heard it was again? ‘Shoshone’ country I heard.

Dashurai: I already hired on as a ‘wagon man’. It gives me cover to stay with you two. If there are other plans available I want to hear them?

Cleavur: Okay. I see it’s time to test out my skills. Sister we’re definitely not riding out West looking across at country bumpkins in front of us. Let’s ascertain which wagons the wealthy are riding shall we.

——————-The trail not so cleared——————-

(Well getting underway requires the expenditure of energy. That energy didn’t just come from the horses. It had to come from the men. Clearing the brush that covered a worn path was a constant chore. The wagon train traveled a few miles a day where it was possible. The markings on paper, a crude map, that supposed to resemble the area they had to travel was barely readable. The loosely followed rules used to apply to land boundaries and property markers were wholly useless for the journey that faced them.

Cleavur knew something about land and how to tell where ownership began and ended. He presented himself as studied in how to claim it, mark it and keep it. Cleavur plotted his importance to the wealthy amongst the travelers looking to capture a part of this new land for profit and longevity. He now felt fortunate that he, his sister and Dashurai consumed knowledge just like they consumed the air. Part of the pact they made was to share between each other everything they learned no matter if they thought what they learned was stupid.

‘Put it up’ knowledge, that’s the phrase they would say to each other. Boy they sure didn’t know then the crucial nature of teamwork times three. All three of them held each other to task. Nobody would be discarded no matter how serious the times would get. Three would succeed. That’s all they said. Three would succeed. Little did they truly understand about the power of ‘not failing the other two’ meant until they started facing difficult task after difficult task. That’s what cutting a trail through the obstacles meant. Small units mean large power and their mental power tells their legend. Here’s how it happened…..).

Cleavur: Mr. & Mrs. Vaterborne, this is an eventful start shall I say to a time that hopefully holds good promise of fortune for you. I signed onto this journey after hearing travelers such as yourselves were going out West. Skills I possess as a land surveyor with knowledge about how to settle boundaries should be valuable.

Mr. Vaterborne: My good man I trust you know things may not start so quickly. Making a name for yourself is the easy part. Making money is the tricky part and that may take longer than planned for if the proper components aren’t already in place.

Cleavur: I wouldn’t dare assume they are. Components I guess would be the ability to buy, sell or trade with others that have things of value available?

Mr. Vaterborne: Precisely my good man. You have a useful skill which means settlers will eventually seek out your services, but what are you going to do in the meantime? Town offices probably aren’t there where we’re going yet. Nobody to record land titles. What else you got?

Cleavur: Quite right. I already have connections with traders in built up areas close to the lands our new country is looking to open up for settlements. People are going to need things. Things not readily available. That’s the service I’m going to offer. I already have security personnel hired on for the jobs.

Mr. Vaterborne: Good. What’s your last name sir?

Cleavur: (That’s how you do it. Keep your cool though Cleavur, but that’s how you do it. Respect through legitimate commerce by legitimate means to make it happen.). Munornado. Mr. Cleavur Munornado.

——————–Get Onboard that Wagon Train—————–

(The communication between the 3 has to be naturally occurring. The words between Dashurai, Cleavur, and Lissqui must have combination properties that herald specific actions. Short words like ‘settle’ means settle for the answer or progress made and prepare for the next encounter whatever that may be. ‘Break’ means to table whatever is being worked on what’s being processed and hold fast where you left it. ‘Slave’ means that an encounter with someone from a ‘dumbassity central’ Southern State is showing his ‘intelligence’.

More to follow. As we go we learn is the name of this game. Cleavur recalls him and his sister tag teaming their father about a life away from home long before the Sun broke the sky on this day. How he spoke of being his own man and nurtured the thought through his father’s head. Cleavur, he said to himself. ‘Don’t forget in this day and age the father is the strongest and most respected man on the plantation’. Speak glowingly of his stewardship of his business, but speak of the day when his son must leave home.

Lissqui took a different track with her father. She told him she was a caregiver. She believed that she was somebody born to shepherd young girls to be proper ladies. Education she told her father is what she most desired from him. She needed to learn things that she could help her husband should she choose to be married someday. Fortunately Lissqui had a father that admired and fed his daughter’s inquisitive tenacity.

Dashurai had to learn most of what he would have to know on the fly. Wherever he could listen in or around meetings the slave master had him there for protection. He knew Cleavur and Lissqui could bring the book smarts to him, but that’s only part of what he needed. To prepare for the life he had to create not just for himself, but for slaves coming behind him he had to be wise in the ways of survival. He had to control himself. Emotions like anger or weakness were mankillers. He had to make his way somehow. The funny thing about what he was about to do was that he was about to do it with two young white folk. Go figure he would chuckle to himself.).

Lissqui: Well is he an asset or an enemy?

Cleavur: Vaterborne? Lissqui, everybody starts out in the adversarial column. Listen, we’re just branching out or making a way for ourselves. Nothing can be set in stone right now. Matter of fact, I’d say we have months and years of our own development not to mention making a name for ourselves.

Lissqui: Got it. Nobody is who they say they are until we render a judgment. Are you ready to go and are we riding with Mr. Vaterborne?

Cleavur: Yes we are and Dashurai is a hired hand. He is on security which includes animal feeding and care.

Lissqui: Our money?

Cleavur: It is being moved to the most secure bank in the territories right now.

Lissqui: Okay so it stays with father then?

Cleavur: They just had a panic in the banking system sister. Please don’t start trusting in a system that frankly is as young and naïve as we were about the world peering out from under the dress of our mother.

Lissqui: (Laughing again at her brother’s analogy). Keep it coming brother. So we’ve got to depend on ourselves. Nobody has a lock on how things should be done and thinking that way would only stall this trip into the wilderness.

Cleavur: Now I’m not saying we’ll have to invent the wheel again, but we’ll probably have to invent the gears to keep it moving in any direction. I’m not saying we’re starting out blind, but I’m not setting myself up to believe that there are people along this trip we’re about to take that has everything in place we need to be successful either.

Lissqui: That’s what I wanted to know. We’re not kids running to the man selling treats from town to town because we heard his horn. This is serious business and all three of us better resign ourselves to that fact right now.

Cleavur: This is what we’ll do with the money. Most of it will stay with father. You secure some and I’ll secure some. We’ll let Dashurai hold a portion just for the unexpected that may happen and add to it as we barter and trade along the trail.

Lissqui: Keep our wits about ourselves. Right now let’s wait until we can discuss what we’ve learned when the time is right. It may not be for several days at a time sometimes you know.

Cleavur: I already realized that. We’ll have to eat together at meal times and breaks along the way when the horses are made to rest. Repairs are done if any. Are you ready to shoot your rifle when we run into trouble?

Lissqui: Boy, you’re so sure of a lot of hardships are going to meet us along the way.

Cleavur: Just putting you in the right mind sister let’s not forget this is still a young country with the natives still pissed off at us. Dashurai may be able to slip pass them day or night, but our pale faces better be able to see in the dark.

Lissqui: I think a ‘strap’ would hold more things on my body under my dress.

Cleavur: Well let’s get you strapped. Probably something leather that could loop through some holes in your dress shash.

Lissqui: Right. See there you go. Everything hasn’t been invented yet. Things that would come in handy right now we must invent on the fly. I’ll keep a written record for sure. I’ll add to it what I think would make the going a little easier.

Cleavur: Then if that’s all let’s grab our baggage and get onboard.

Lissqui: The three of us. My my we’re on our way. All the steps we’ve taken to get to this day. It seems too easy to leave our home.

Cleavur: Lissqui, I told you before. I love our father and mother, but that home belongs to them. We were renting space there. Remember your spirituality now. We got to establish our own home physically in a difference place. Doesn’t mean we can’t go back to our ‘childhood’ home, but keep it in the proper place of order.

Lissqui: I know. I learned so much there. (She sees her brother about to speak again and she cuts him off before he opens his mouth.). I am keeping it proper. I will always pay homage to where I came from and that is final. What wagon are we in and is it in the middle or the rear end?

Cleavur: Neither of those places sister. We’re up front. This I’ve got to see coming.

Lissqui: So everything won’t be explained to us anymore. Somebody else figuring it out first is no longer a given. Everything about life we’ve ever learned was seen first by our elders and then passed to us. No hollered calls sailing upon the air to come to the table to eat anymore. (She looks at Cleavur and waves him off.). I’m just packing my mind for the journey. Don’t want to forget anything I need for the road.

Cleavur: Good because we all agreed to do this.

Epilogue:

(Time is the factor that finishes a purpose. An idea. A mandate. Time is a necessity that is bemoaned as a requirement because it is essential for anything worthwhile to become reality. Our three travelers are away from the only depiction of life they have ever known. Now they will have to decide for themselves what kind of life they wish to create for in the years to come. If they are told the only way they can live is a certain way, they will resist it with possessions that cannot be compared to weapons.

Strength is not beholden to a restrictive caste system reserved for those with wealth and means. Strength of mind builds your life before you ever walk into it. Dashurai, Cleavur, and Lissqui will have to prove that ‘declarative’ true.

Time is earned because it is not in abundance at the start of anything worth doing. Once they earn more time will they wield it to their advantage for more of it? The way is known. Time makes or breaks success. Respect time and it will give you more. Everything they ever heard or ever believed they now will prove them true or false. More importantly though, they now possess the power to make a life for themselves. Good or bad. Prosperous or lean. The one thing that they have going for them.

A three-fold cord is not quickly broken.).

A PENANCE MUST BE EXACTED

America Must Suffer Her Penance

I’ve a different take on President Biden’s and President Trump’s document cases. President Obama’s Administration was run like a fortress heading off and anticipating any mistakes involving sensitive topics like classification of acquired secrets. Of course no administration is perfect, but President Biden’s classified documents seems all too convenient to be human error. I believe President Biden is sullying a bit of his 60 plus years of dedicated service, and willfully allowing a chink in his reputation in order to restore the full dignity and might of the office of the Presidency of the United States. This is why I say this.

I’m an old school guy. As a Black man I’ve lived through injustices committed against my people. I’ve been discriminated against and denied opportunities, but what I’ve known below the Heavens there was a chance things could change. The office of the President of the United States has a history by no means perfect morally, but the Presidency has brought about great change in America to save America from itself! Presidents have supported voting rights. Presidents have integrated Americas’ armed forces. Presidents have spoken to other nations to tear down walls. Presidents have received cries for help from oppressed people of freedom loving nations and answered, ‘We will help you’. That’s what I want restored to the Presidency!

America has erred. America elected a most vile, morally bankrupt, racist misogynistic man in Donald Trump to hold that office. The times are no more where the fastest you could get letter mail was 20 or more days. Everything is done out in the open. Technology is such all is known in an instant. Americans looked at Donald Trump and accepted all his evil ways. Did all of us really believe the Presidency would remain that powerful office with that revered history?

I know there are millions of Americans longing for the nostalgia (including me) of the United States President. How the President just by speaking would silence financial earthquakes. America wants her President back to the prestige it held. This document fiasco is a set up to make a lot of noise to cancel both President Trump’s and President Biden’s situations out. I am going to say this very clearly. President Trump was my President as well even though I never voted for him. If I have to take ‘egg’ on my face to see President Trump go scott free then so be it.

President Biden is giving America back her Presidency. Now any fool out there can say all the dumbassity crap they want about President Biden’s vast achievements in just 2 years in the office. Scream about his accomplishments as nothing until you lose your voice. I respect the Hell out of President Biden for what he’s doing if my hypothesis is correct. He can take the heat, but I got his back as we all should.

America has to accept responsibility for putting a man like Donald Trump in the chair of the greatest seat of power ever known to civilized world. The office of the President of the United States should never again allow carnival barkers, liars, buffoons and hateful idiots a chance at that power. The Presidency in my opinion was created to tell the evil among us that they don’t have a voice. There isn’t a level of evil that can be tolerated to have peace in the land. Are you crazy?! Read Revelation 12:9 when God caste out Satan. There isn’t a middle ground agreement where good and evil can leave each other be. One or the other has to go period!

A President cannot play footsie like that. All the times when the United States compromised her unifying principles in the name of reconciliation was a gross mistake. For example, losing the Civil War shouldn’t have put the South in a stronger position. That’s crazy. As I’ve said before in pronouncements on this site that only a complete lunatic would think enslaving people could go on forever. We did this to ourselves. Opened the airways to every person that is full of mischief to get airtime over every media outlet because they do it to stir up shit. We know there are stupid people in America up to no good. Just because they now have a focal point in former President Trump still doesn’t elevate any of them to any reputable status we should care about.

It’s not all on President Biden to try to restore the office of the Presidency of the United States to the glory it held. The penance needs to be a blot on all our names at the last when we’re judged. We are all responsible for the foolishness engulfing America now. It’s time we understand that the leaders we choose bring to us the country we deserve. Accept the penance America and get us back to doing everything in decency and in order.

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 13: The True Cost of Time?

Prologue:

(Who makes that determination? What value is assigned to goods and services that are marketed to potential customers? What is the actual price? I submit that calculation isn’t the true cost of what we possess whether it is alive or inanimate. There is a greater consideration that is to be made to a family, community, state or nation as a whole. Does the cost of any item for sale promote the welfare of the family, the community, state or nation as a whole.

We will now continue to explain the big picture for those that believed in the continued bondage of people in America. That slavery could generate value for the welfare of the family, the community, the state or the nation as a whole. That millions of slaves under the authority of their slave owners benefited the United States then and into the future. The simple answer is no it didn’t benefit America then and would have been destructive on a massive scale if it had been allowed to continue.

How? Well setting aside the intelligence level of a typical slave owner’s ability to see the big picture let’s focus on three areas that would be of concern to every human being. Their health along with their education and their responsibility to be a contributing member of society. Ask yourself, would you really want slave owners that couldn’t add 2 + 2 to come up with the right answer putting all of us at risk for terrible diseases? Do you really think a city, state or nation could survive without revenue from every citizen’s workday?

Here in this episode we will explore mindsets and reach conclusions as to why a continued system of slavery would’ve shattered the very concept of what the word ‘society’ really meant.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother is going over applications of many promising candidates on her various creative teams. She is excited for all of them and what they may accomplish.). We have some good candidates to bolster our teams. I know a piece of paper isn’t a true picture of a person, but I’m excited nonetheless to do true honor to all of them walking through our doors.

Sarah W. Certainty: We will certainly find out one way or another that’s for sure. I’m especially buoyed by the fact there are more women than men in our ‘IGBO LANDING’ room.

Mother Sayer: The room is named rightly for all the suffering and the redemption that humanity is capable of achieving. It would be an injustice to singularly focus on financial success while ignoring the history of cruelty this country has eagerly inflicted on enslaved human beings.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother it is that willingness to show respect for those Black people that have had their voices silenced. I have always been an inquisitive girl quick to stop and hear the stories that seemed to me were purposefully omitted from the history books. You know me, my mother and father are Italians. Saying they lived a bland run of the mill ‘anything of a life’ would be close to blasphemous.

Mother Sayer: How fortunate you were to have that. Mr. Sayer, my Father raised me the same way. He knew enough to expose me to the history of our people. The kind of history that you have to do a little research to discover. Things that give a clearer picture of what actually happened in the formative years of America. Things that offer an understanding as to why the South couldn’t visualize that the institution of slavery was righteously unsustainable.

Sarah W. Certainty: The cost in terms of how it began to lose its shiny new object status on the world stage?

Mother Sayer: The cost to the beliefs of ‘soft’ Christians in Europe because many countries there had started to sour on the merits of slavery.

Sarah W. Certainty: The fall of the house of slavery was inevitable?

Mother Sayer: Yes, but there are always those that will seek to prolong evil in any of its manifestations in this country. The South during the Civil War knew they were wrong to fight to keep the legacy of atrocities alive in the institution of slavery. How do I know this? I see it in the idiotic retooling of history about the Civil War by today’s supporters to call it a fight for States rights.

Sarah W. Certainty: It is a State right to steal from a human being. It is a State right to steal from a local community. It is a State right to steal from a city council. A parish. It is a State right to deprive the Federal government of citizens to defend the United States of America.

Mother Sayer: Are you trying to take my job from me Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: Ha ha. Not at all Mother. I’m just being who you expect me to be. A reasonable person would conclude that any society needs a tax base along with a good idea of who is alive or dead for purposes of maintaining a country secure from enemy threats.

Mother Sayer: You are right about that. The soldier in me would question any society not being allowed to know exactly how healthy it is in a variety of areas. As you mentioned to defend a nation from attack if ever one comes. The necessity of having citizens that contribute to a nations’ well-being is ‘self-evident’.

——————1^st Interlude——————-

(At that moment the door to her office suite opens and the Arc Angel strides over to Mother and holds out the challis. The challis for the Council Session will begin. The ritual Mother has created is a homage to the quilt makers of old. It is more visual. A quilt, although its’ intent is to keep those underneath it warm; the thickness of the fabric itself has several meanings. Whether prosperity was abundant and spreading within the ARC. It also is representative of the timeline that will tell different pieces of the historical record of the ARC Incorporated.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother enters the door to the special chamber she long ago established for her counseling sessions.). I have come in response to your summons. (Mother gives the challis to D. D. O. per the ritual because she does not speak. The challis will be sown into the quilt at the conclusion of this session.).

Frank Inquisitor: What do we need to talk about? Oh, I know. Why do you think it is in your authority to rock the boat of American history? Is it not enough that some of America’s history stays adrift in the eye of a storm?

Mother Sayer: The love affair some descendants of the losers of the Civil War I’m sure is what you’re getting at right?

Frank Inquisitor: Isn’t it enough that they are the subject of scorn and disgust? Why give them the very air for their lungs at the same time America is trying to stop their breathing?

Mother Sayer: Ignoring them is solution? I don’t believe that. As a matter of fact ignoring these ‘tares’ these Confederate losers is how they were able to spring up next to the ‘wheat’.

Arc Angel: How do you know that? What information do you possess that slavery was a flawed institution that should be abolished?

Mother Sayer: Good you asked. Let me try to put my explanation into as many small words as possible. During the great World Wars there was much debate amongst White people if Blacks should be enlisted to grow the ranks of the able bodied to fight. They were allowed to serve and performed magnificently everywhere they were assigned.

Arc Angel: You lost me Mother. How is serving America in a war relevant to the fact that slavery came to be scorned by half the country?

Mother Sayer: Okay jumping to the end because you’re not intelligent enough to follow. Eliminate every Black soldier from World Wars I and II and the outcome may or may not be a victory for the allies. Wait. Contemplate this. What if America needed the efforts of all people of adult age able to fight? What if America had to ask every hillbilly 2^nd grade educated farmer for permission to use their slaves to save the country? The world for that matter. How would that work?

Frank Inquisitor: America as a nation would enter into hundreds if not thousands of agreements for the use of those slaves. Problem solved.

Mother Sayer: What if there weren’t any birth, health or property records of how those slaves came to be in the possession of each slave owner? What if none of the slaves the nation needed to be say 50 percent ready for the training they must endure?

Frank Inquisitor: The nation would have to educate, medicate and train them to the standard they needed for the war effort.

Mother Sayer: What if America didn’t have that kind of time to set aside to train thousands if not millions of illiterate people? What solution could you draw up to solve that conundrum?

Arc Angel: That’s not what happened Mother.

Mother Sayer: You asked why was slavery put on the chopping block of ‘discardable’ portions.

Arc Angel: I’m still waiting for the point.

Mother Sayer: Here’s everything I know about why slavery had to go. American law did not supersede property law. If the nation had to take land per se it had to seize it through eminent domain while human beings were considered personal property the nation had no right to come into a home to take the homeowner’s possessions.

Arc Angel: Right the government couldn’t take possessions from citizens without due process.

Mother Sayer: Imagine now what the government couldn’t gain access to with human beings classified as personal property. No tax revenues. No right of the enslaved to be educated. All the while city, state and Federal resources are being consumed. No government could locate outbreaks of infectious diseases in time to stop their spread.

Arc Angel: Got it. It’s not like the enslaved population would grow beyond the confines of a plantation.

Mother Sayer: Are you serious? Do you know the danger inherent into cross breeding of relatives? No matter if ‘Mass Sa’ is the father of 5 generations down the same slave blood line?

Arc Angel: That’s disgusting.

Mother Sayer: Oh it gets more sickening. Imagine if open heart surgery went undiscovered. George Washington Carver many uses of the peanut. The stop light wasn’t invented. Do you really believe a country could reach her full potential if millions of her people went uneducated?

Arc Angel: It would be difficult albeit the slave owners had plans to make all what you mentioned possible. Maybe the slave owners just needed the government out of their business long enough for them to figure out how to do it.

Mother Sayer: A slave master thinking about America and the big picture? That’s laughable.

Frank Inquisitor: Maybe it’s laughable to you, but the South in the Civil War didn’t need to think or act on the interest of a united country. Maybe all they needed to do was mind their own business and fight like hell against anyone trying to make them see there were larger stakes at play.

Mother Sayer: You’ve made my point for me Inquisitor. I was wondering when you would stop and be critical of selfish motivations.

Frank Inquisitor: So what America would exist as a society above many sub-societies. Stupidity, diseases, plundering of resources, an unreachable tax base, no uniform identification of anybody. No united effort to fend off or deter enemies from attacking the nation. So what the South wanted to do their own ‘thang’. All those issues could be the burden of the North while the South would enjoy ‘States rights’.

Mother Sayer: Obviously the North wasn’t going to let that happen. Maybe the North didn’t explain it in terms of ‘big picture’, but there had to be some of the leaders in the North that understood that the alternative was untenable long term.

Frank Inquisitor: That’s why you stressed diversity within the ranks right from the outset?

Mother Sayer: How in the hell can anyone operate in the dark successfully? How do you make such a process work? Don’t know anything about some of the people working at your company, but they suppose to help the company grow and prosper. No clue to their skills and abilities and even if they are healthy enough to be around you.

Arc Angel: Relax we thought we’d trip you up. Make you begin to doubt your own philosophy. Turn your certainty into hesitation. Slavery and all the manifestations of it was never a long term economic strategy.

Mother Sayer: Slavery was always a mortal masquerading as an immortal.

Arc Angel: By that I’m sure you meant ‘its’ legs would give out long before it seen the finish line through a collapsed visual spectrum in the distance’.

Frank Inquisitor: Until our next session Mother. We are in recess.

———————-2^nd Interlude———————

(Mother feels it not just in her head and her heart. She feels it like a coating of unknown fabric. A fabric that brings the comfort and cooling sensation of increased awareness. This fabric slowly spread upon her over time. Mother thinks the closest analogy she could use to explain her new understanding is the skills of a big game hunter. That cunningly adept hunter waits for the prey to enter the hunters’ trap. The prey just strolling along down a familiar path. The predator positioned opposite the direction the wind blows. The predator, allowing the prey to believe that danger is nowhere to be found. Death is not even close by. The predator springing every part of the trap so the prey will be an easy kill.

Maybe a startle, a sudden rustle in the bushes, or a flicker of dust carried by the wind falling over the prey would get it moving in the direction of the kill. This choreography must untwirl like a symphony orchestra that cues each instrument to join at a specific point along the audio waves. Pushing the prey to act, but not so erratically that it avoids the predators trap. Ah, Mother thinks she has qualified for the course, but achieving a grade of excellence is but a wish for now.

It is a key difference for those unlearned in the ways of life as to why some may say can you not teach it in a classroom environment. Skills aren’t taught in classrooms. For instance, say the subject is rifle marksmanship. While the course material is identical for each student; who excels in it stamps that person with abilities written not on paper but in the mind. That person has the ability to change the knowledge into something else. Something unique beyond awareness and understanding. This is the gift of enlightenment. Many wise people call it such.

Everybody can’t contain, hold or cradle it in their bosom. They may attempt to grab ‘it’ floating through the air because they see it with more than their eyes, but it is not enough to see it and know that it is there. Another simple analogy for it is if a person eats something that doesn’t agree with their stomach, and it is spewed up out from the point it came in. Mastering skills require more that a desire to acquire them. It comes down to whether you are worthy enough for those skills to find you to be a suitable home.).

—————-Continuing this episode————–

Mother Sayer: (Mother knows she must now temper her awareness that she has transcended a learning plateau. A place where many reach a ‘most high’ summit, but fall from grace because they celebrate their success in ways that weaken the ground beneath them.). Sarah, where were we before today’s counsel session?

Sarah W. Certainty: I have some thoughts about what moves the Confederacy made against the North that weren’t taken into account when the Civil War started. (Mother looks at Sarah with an eye to signify continue.). A prey is aware of the presence of the predator, but the hierarchical nature of the predator makes it more likely than not the prey will yield the contest.

Mother Sayer: Quite insightful Sarah tell me more.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve watched your mannerisms as well as listening to your words and correct me if I’m wrong I noted a synergy of the two. (Sarah waits for an answer and she gets a nonverbal one, so she continues). Is it because time is also an asset that should be properly deployed to enhance the bottom line?

Mother Sayer: Absolutely yes. The Army teaches something called ‘implied task’ that is just as essential to combat tactics as making sure your equipment is ready for battle. It’s like story telling. A good story draws you into the area where it occurs without you realizing you’re a witness while it unfolds. The cost of reading it means your imagination receives a benefit. It grows. That’s part of the price you pay for reading a book. Now you’ve added value to your life that can’t be measured.

Sarah W. Certainty: The North in its haste to reconcile the South into the Union once again capitulated too quickly. The North wrongly agreed to the conditions the South demanded for reentry into the Union. The predator in that instance reversed roles.

Mother Sayer: Yes. The North became the prey by desiring so greatly to make the nation whole again it errored. That’s why we have ‘confusion’ running so rampart in our society in some parts of America. The Daughters of the Confederacy? Really? How about ‘The Daughters of the Third Reich’. Doesn’t’ sound good at all right?

Sarah W. Certainty: It would never have been allowed and will never be. The true cost I’m beginning to see the United States is still paying for the Civil War.

Mother Sayer: This life piles up so much wasted time.

Sarah W. Certainty: How so?

Mother Sayer: America is a patient with bipolar disorder. It’s like any human being ignoring their problems day after day week after week and so on. When the problems ‘the pile’ get so high and spreads too wide in their path they wonder why’s that pile in my way? The ‘pile’ is the problems you’ve been ignoring fool! Problems don’t go away if you ignore them. They just ‘pile’ up.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah laughs as she visualizes Mothers’ analogy.). From Federal to State to Local Governments there are enough good people that know if positive control isn’t maintained this effort would go to shit. Luckily there are good people covering just enough of the right areas that the country doesn’t display to the rest of the world that it’s manic.

Mother Sayer: Yeah to the untrained or naïve amongst us they can see an elected official darting about from place to place spouting incoherent gibberish and say they’re doing a good job for their citizens. We called it busy work in the Army. Work that’s necessary but untimely they fail to consider more pressing matters need their attention.

Sarah W. Certainty: The ARC stays afloat but listening to your expressed thoughts I sense that you’re frustrated that more aren’t being brought forward.

Mother Sayer: You are right Sarah. My sweet Sarah I couldn’t ask for more fortune. Having a woman as wise as you by my side. I just believe there are areas of the ARC that aren’t creative enough. Restraint seems to be coursing through the halls here.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay. Let’s take a look at Plans and Management. Also let’s look at CREATOR ROTATE. I understand you got that idea from General Tholodious. He mentioned something about a creator on his team that thought things up on his feet to contend with any known or perceived unknown variable in any given situation.

Mother Sayer: Tholodious was extraordinary. I still have some getting used to calling him by his first name instead of his rank. His women and men were impressive. I want you to understand and put emphasis on the word ‘impressive’. I revisit those memories from time to time just to glean more ways and means to handle adversity.

Sarah W. Certainty: You told me he got an earful about Black people and Jewish people working together for thousands of years.

Mother Sayer: Yes. I reminded him that King Solomon was Black or of mixed blood as King David was his father. King Solomon ruled Israel. The wisest man who ever lived according to the Holy Bible.

Sarah W. Certainty: That part of the heritage of Black people is why you make sound judgments and decisions.

Mother Sayer: More than that it is getting back to the ancient meanings of ‘meditation’. Meditation in the purest form means to alter, to bring about the person that is capable of understanding. It means to bring forth the state of a person he or she is intended to present to themselves and the world.

Sarah W. Certainty: The concern you have is that there aren’t enough people striving for greater achievements at the ARC to bring those ‘trials’ that could bring about an altered humanity for the better.

Mother Sayer: (This child Mother has to give special recognition to. Her Mother raised this girl with fiery wisdom. Mother silently thanks God that she resisted those human impulses of resistance to assistance if she had not she would not be counseled by such a force of a woman.). I am frustrated I don’t have more people bringing their fire and tenacity to my halls daily.

—————-Continuing this episode————–

(Mother somehow senses that the ARC Council wants another go at it today. She goes to the floor just to ascertain what if anything that wasn’t covered in the session today. Then it happens albeit a little late in her estimation.).

Frank Inquisitor: We do have something we want to run by you.

Mother Sayer: Okay what is it?

Frank Inquisitor: The problem with spam calls it takes away the users’ ability to have their service available on their terms.

Arc Angel: This problem shouldn’t be hard to solve. We need just a quick once over only your skills can give and we’ll go from there.

Mother Sayer: Okay I’ll have to give it some though. A few days and I’ll have some ideas for you.

Arc Angel: Not trying to rush you, but I just told you I need some answers right now as the project’s been held up long enough.

Mother Sayer: Excuse me? So you want some ideas off the top of my head?

Frank Inquisitor: We’re asking for some ideas before you leave this room. Can you give us something right now?

Mother Sayer: The table where you daily grab your plate. The plate you want me to fill belongs to me. The plate I load with insight or good ‘food’ which by the way you’re still eating from with your fingers void of any traditional blessings by the way. Stop for a moment and wonder why that’s the case?

Arc Angel: Are you upset? If you are we didn’t mean to make it sound like a demand. We are trying to do the one thing which I’m sure you’re about to say to us.

Mother Sayer: What’s that?

Arc Angel: Start forging for your own food. Isn’t that what you mean. The disdain is in your voice.

Mother Sayer: Am I disappointed that the level of creativity has not risen at the ARC in the last few weeks and months? Yes I am. The blame game I never learned to play. My father Mr. Ableman Sayer didn’t dumb down his daughter. I thought every system every procedure every protocol I instilled signaled that independent thought was the most valuable skill needed to work here.

Frank Inquisitor: We got that, but getting stuck does happen. We wouldn’t have come to you if we knew we’d get the third degree.

Mother Sayer: I should treat you with kid gloves is that it? Maybe I should just feel some sort of superiority over you because you can’t do it without me is that it? Are you machines that need to be loaded by external assistance?

Arc Angel: Figure it out ourselves or wait until you give us an answer? Is that it?

Mother Sayer: That’s right! Now we’re getting somewhere. I’m going to talk now. You just listen. Self-discovery isn’t, it doesn’t just cover the human body. Believe that the mind extends beyond your flesh. That’s why my father put it on me growing up. He honestly didn’t care if I could handle all the stimulus he kept pushing my way. The awkwardness of scolding family even where business entanglements were present.

Speaking up when everyone around you knows there is a better way, but they keep silent in order to not anger the boss. Solutions don’t necessarily run on a timetable so be prepared to sort them out. Be ready with answers because you’ve studied. Lean into your education your wisdom and your instincts when all else fails.

Frank Inquisitor: Such glowing words. Words of enlightenment which unfortunately do not apply to everyone.

Mother Sayer: Are you sure about that or is that what you were taught to believe?

Arc Angel: I don’t need to try to pass through this life unnoticed. Unnoticed to the point where my progress and achievements are not impeded by stupid motherfuckers scared of the power of my intelligence.

Frank Inquisitor: As a Black man underneath this shroud speaking truthfully. It gives me a certain freedom that allows my inner strength to flow with awesome force manifesting the success I always knew I could achieve. When I take it off I am engulfed, bombarded again in the conflict which target many forms of hatred towards me. This hatred I didn’t trigger. It was not of my own creation. It was born out of slavery, and it is still practiced by many white people in this country.

Mother Sayer: (Suddenly Mother feels the upswell of a favorite gospel hymn. ‘I’ll take you take’. ‘I know a place ya’ll. Ain’t nobody crying no no. Ain’t nobody worried. Ain’t no smillin faces. Ly’in to the ray’ces.’). My ARC Council. This is a day I’ve longingly asked to come. Spiritually I’ve always known I would be successful in business, but business achievement is nothing compared to human growth.

Let me ask a question and any one of you may answer me. Would you believe me when I say my father wasn’t concerned if I met my goal of creating a successful business on my own?

Arc Angel: What? Do you want us to sing your praises? Yes, you’re an outstanding business leader. The associates at your company enter and leave your halls with more smiles on their faces than anywhere I’ve ever been employed. Big fucking congratulations!

Frank Inquisitor: Arc Angel? Lay off a minute. Just absorb what Mother is confessing. Your words should tell it all. Where would you go and cuss out the boss and still have a job? Where?

Mother Sayer: Nowhere and thanks for pointing that out. That’s not the point Frank. I want people to thrive here and long for independence at their own shop. Hardly anyone is taking advantage of the ‘SEED’ program I’ve installed for those that want to achieve what I’ve achieved. PROCREATION!

Arc Angel: A legacy? C’mon Mother, just be selfish like all those other rich people. That’s not what you want? Being lauded by the ‘media outlets’ for your wealth isn’t your ‘Holy Grail’?

Mother Sayer: I believe this day has been fruitful. Until our next encounter.

Epilogue:

(Asking for a seat at the table? The table of what? Mother picked up on her lessons quickly as her Father rolled them out with breathtaking speed so by their landing in cascade succession she could collapse time frames. This served to strengthen her mental agility. Petitioning for an invitation to a gathering where even the ones that now own the table don’t even know how it is furnished just sounds trifling to Mother.

Mother was drilled a long time ago long before the United States Army instilled in her that repetition brings about completion. Her Father never locked her mind on a dream that a job is the best representation of all the power inside her. That’s the best gratitude she can show to her maker that this is all she could achieve. It starts with the training of the mind. The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 22:6…’Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it’.

What do you fear? Being out of a job? Being scolded for creativity? Somebody give an ‘Amen’ or I’m going to say something I will regret. I’m telling everybody it is time for the ‘EXPANSION’ to come.

If you are viewing ‘OFF LIMITS SIGNS’ that nobody but you placed in from of you I need you to take them down. Mother Sayer knows there are enough obstacles erected without you putting ones up yourself. Mother also knows she won’t be able to do anything about the ‘news media’ celebrating billionaires, so she will establish an ‘underappreciated floor’ at The ARC. This isn’t a place where her associates will go to get a ‘good job pat on the back’.

It will be known as the floor that makes everything else ‘POSSIBLE’. The true cost of time is ‘lost time’. Everything America needs to solve every problem imaginable is already in the ‘realm of ideas’. Recycling shouldn’t have limitations. Somebody else couldn’t be creative enough and decided for everybody else that’s all that was possible.

I challenge all Americans. If you have ideas inside you without limits please hold onto them. Keep that hand of yours that mind of yours holding on to that idea for dear life. We ‘all’ need you to. Don’t look at what’s already here. Look at what’s not here and ask can I go pull it into the realm of possible. Mother Sayer is ready to help you.

Mother thinks that second session although short better be sown into the ARC quilt. The record must be complete.).

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils’ promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 7: Ascension Protocols are now in Effect

Tell me something. When did the polarities reverse when describing the traits of good and evil? Honestly it is difficult at times to counter all the stupidity that the big media conglomerates produce at a rapid pace. Like the last minute bulletins ‘out of whole cloth’ (using their words) that independents and women were breaking towards the Republicans 2 or 3 days before election day. Oh, this is a better one. That President Biden laying out the stakes that ‘Democracy’ itself was on the ballot was a losing strategy. One more for good measure and it’s so good. A ‘red wave’ is coming to sweep the Democrats out of power!

Weren’t all those pronouncements lies? What was truthful about them if you strongly disagree? I am thankful that my wife and I have deep, thoughtful and consequential discussions about any topic. Right and wrong is often fraught with opinions and distortions which includes the time and place these crucial lessons are taught. Like this scenario. Cleaning up behind a spouse, children or guests may leave some to react you didn’t give them a chance to clean up their own mess. What if the only motivation in the mind of the housekeeper is to maintain the home in good standing and quality?

Here’s a more dire example. What if a young boy sees his father physically harm his mother? Would it then be excusable for the son who’s now an adult to physically abuse a woman? Learning to drive from a person who believes traffic laws are a guideline. Would the police be expected to excuse such a driver because that’s how the driver learned to evaluate and then supersede the law with personal judgment?

‘Why’ is the greatest question in the universe. It is also necessary for understanding and knowledge to flourish. My own upbringing was filled with rebellious anger and strong resentment because the punishments I received I wasn’t made aware of what they were for. If I disrespected my mother I can handle being punished for it. I couldn’t abide being punished or beaten when I was shown my error and I corrected myself. Those instances caused a swell of defiance against any and all correction. Stop right there with me.

Some of the correction was just. As I got older I ‘scene edited’ large swaths of my childhood. Why? Because a lot of the lessons were muddled with cruelty leading me to have a distorted acceptance of my faults and infractions. Yes, I am a unique individual. My life has always been an examination of my human experience. Just living, working, loving, existing and believing in a supreme (deity) purpose is nothing if I don’t understand why I should do all those things.

That’s where the problem lies for most human beings. When there aren’t clear and precise lessons outlining what is right and what is wrong; the resulting understanding ultimately ends up in confusion (we know who authors confusion right?). Oh, no doubt the teacher is critical in these lessons. Like the examples above it means life and death to the individual if the teacher is severely flawed. The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 8:14…Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom, I am understanding, I have strength.

I come to understand that a lot of my lessons were taught in cruel and deceitful ways, but the right things were intentionally hidden in the midst of the delivery method. Furthermore I would caution anyone to ‘not’ be fooled into a rebellious nature against common decency. The person or person responsible for your misaligned mindset achieved their purpose. Now their deception must be discovered and rejected if you do not want your legacy to be a notch in their win column.

Yes I believe in America. America unlike many nations ‘must’ continue to acknowledge the blood on its hands. Good citizens proved that we will not stand for ‘THE DECEIVERS’ ruling over us. Right is still right. Wrong is still wrong. Like the ‘Good Book’ says, you gotta gird yourself with the right tools. Wisdom, understanding and counsel can’t be in short supply if you want to fight and defend your body and soul. That is strength! Not a political party. Not an ignorant orange-haired buffoon wanna be demagogue that clearly has a ton of fools falling on their swords for him.

A citizen is responsible for their country as well as their leaders are. By the way, the ancient meaning of ‘citizen’ is …’one that is part of the whole, a contributor to the good of all’. Ascend to the heights where prayers are heard. Yeah, way above our heads.

COLORED PEOPLE

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 26: The Time Has Come

I must share an event that has been a long time coming. It is personal. About the growth that comes through the willingness to be vulnerable to life itself. The disappointments and the triumphs are dotted throughout the timeline of all that exists. I’ve shared with my loyal readers that have come with me on this journey one event that set me on this path of learning. It was a question I asked my brothers and sisters when I was a boy around the age of 11 or 12 whether me and my cousin could be boyfriend and girlfriend. Of course my parents were told and I caught a beatdown from them. I still needed an answer to my question?

The fact that I couldn’t get one was irrelevant. That denial of an answer let me know then that all questions needed to be answered no matter the subject matter period. In order for morality, character, right and wrong, love and loss or any good thing to grow inside a person we need to be told in straightforward terms how life should be lived. Now my answer when I became an adult to that little boy would’ve been, ‘Victor no you can’t be boyfriend and girlfriend with your cousin and here’s why’. ‘It is forbidden because you both are related by family and family cannot marry or have intimate relations with one another.’ Yeah, at 11 or 12 I knew where children came from and how.

This next revelation I want to share is that I’ve finally achieved a sense of clarity. Clarity of character, morality, integrity about what’s right and what’s wrong. When it happened and where was while I performed my duties in behavioral health. A young boy did not like being admonished for cursing me out in front of female staff. He decided that he would become violent and I put a stop to it. For the first time I didn’t feel my heart racing nor any sense that my actions were not right in the moment. I did restrain myself from laying hands on him in ways not authorized, but I did let him know his behavior would not be tolerated.

Discussing it with my wife I began to understand fully what God said in this verse of scripture. The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Revelation 3:16…So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Absolutely it is about right or wrong. It is absolutely about good or evil. There are only two choices. There isn’t any compromise in the face of people’s actions that affect other people. Whether an elected official tries to play a proverbial mealy-mouthed ‘ahh it wasn’t that bad axiom’ that former U.S. Presidents that break the law should be off limits; that formal official should be disgraced.

We know all human beings have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but when you commit crimes that affect more than just yourself then you have to answer for them. I applaud the normal discharge of their duties any official that simply does what they are supposed to do. There shouldn’t be a ticker-tape parade for holding someone accountable. No pat on the back should be forthwith. If any person commits a crime with foreknowledge of its detrimental effects on a society, then that person must be made to answer for it.

This is my belief and why I do what I do. Like the United States Army taught me if you allow standards to be degraded then you have set a new standard. Everyone better believe there will always be the worst kinds of people elected to office because the good people become complacent. Society is akin to fragility. Why? Because if the rules aren’t followed then sooner or later the ‘society’ becomes unrecognizable.

If you know right from wrong when it comes to the body politic, then say so. It doesn’t mean I have the right to inject my personal beliefs onto everyone else. Again I believe that’s why all those ‘WHITE MEN’ founding fathers of America on purpose left ‘RELIGION’ out of the adjudication of things pertaining to the laws of the land. Laws are for everyone. Leave your Bible thumping hypocrisy on the steps of your door.

Time will come for all of us regardless of whether we stop to acknowledge that ultimate truth. There are only two choices in life. Pick one.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 56 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 8: The Spirit of Truth!

All the news the last few days around ‘suicide’ being front and center requires that the record be set straight. Mr. Stephen Laurel ‘tWitch’ Boss died by suicide which in itself should be left as is, but the reason I’m writing this post is how he is described as being ‘inspirational’ ‘a light’ and bringing ‘joy’. This cannot be reconciled or squared with the way he chose to end his life. As tragic as suicide is to the memory of the person’s name; it is more tragic and mentally destructive to the family he leaves behind.

The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 1 John 4:6…We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Mr. Stephen did something that will affect his family for the rest of their lives. It is alright for them to mourn, but it doesn’t eliminate the power of the act he committed and the everlasting effects it has bought upon them. The rest of us being society at large and those he worked with cannot reduce the weight of that truth in any meaningful way. Trust me as I work in mental health and speaking of what happened in truth is the only way to place it properly in the timeline of their lives.

The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Ecclesiastes 10:1…Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. Every act we do on this planet is a record kept under our name. We can decide what we will be remembered for whether it is good or evil. Disputed or undisputed. Selfish or unselfish. Uncharacteristic or spot on about our behavior. Our name is all we have at the end of day. God doesn’t want us to lose out on a lifetime of truth, honor or decency with an act judged as misguided. God wants us to have the legacy of our choosing.

Do us all a favor and stop saying things like he or she lights up a room. Brings down the house with joy for all. The words this person used are great words of inspiration. They are, but are they appropriate to describe a life so unceremoniously ended by their own hand? My focus is on those that shared the love of the life that ended unnaturally. Children do not yet possess the depth of understanding or even the slightest ability to overcome the finality of life. Do not create a facade around what happened for them. The truth is ‘ALWAYS’ better than a fantastical ‘LIE’.

In mental health we know by years of schooling aligned with years of training in observation that what’s below the surface is what we need to see. Eagles train their young to fly which is great, but the greatest skill they pass on is the skill to see below the surface of the water. Watch a video of an eagle swooping down to snatch a fish out of the water and tell me that’s not impressive as ‘F’! Why? Look at the act closely as the eagle contorts, adjusts wing span, waits to fully extend the claws, and lastly grabs the fish from the water.

What if one day the children that are left behind say they are going to live with the parent that committed suicide? Everybody lauding praise on my parent why won’t they say the same thing about me if I kill myself? Make it clear that what the parent did was wrong. It is okay to say just that! Listen to me. All those that are capable of love listen to me now. If you want to save the ones you love including yourself, learn certain skills or get your people to a professional right away.

I’d rather hear from the person thinking of committing suicide first hand than listen to false or empty platitudes after the fact from the very people that supposedly knew him the most.

Issue 08: Self-Awareness?

In the modern era it seems that knowing who and what you are has fallen from the list of character traits. Losing grip with personal thoughts of importance seems to have been stamped out with the disdain of humility. For instance, the more I sift through the attainment of power and the altered perception of the gifts it brings; I begin to wonder if so-called modern men and women realize how corrupting the effects of power can be. Restraint seems unnecessary in comparison to the change that can come about by wielding such enormous power.

Take a seat on the United States Supreme Court and feel the unbridled power one chair holds. Now feel the euphoria starting in your brain as it begins to make your heart beat faster. The blood coursing through each vein as if breathing floods oxygen at a rate ordinary citizens could never experience. I am a U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice and I hold America in the palm of my hands! My thoughts on religion I will inject into the very Constitution that serves as the blueprint for everything America believes and achieves.

What do you think that means for America itself? I shared Issue 7 with a few of the men and women that are my council. They told me that I needed to go deeper in my explanation of how 6 conservative Associate justices of the U.S. Supreme Court could destroy America. The advice was spot on as usual. What if a business owner fasts 1 meal a day? What if that same business owner requires each customer to do the same? Will the U.S. Supreme Court rule in his favor? What if I do not believe in pre-marital sex? Every customer of my shop must adhere to my religious rule or they are refused service at my lunch counter.

What if I mandate that all females in my home only wear dresses? Each woman that enters my business must wear attire I deem fit in line with my religion. Would the U.S. Supreme Court find that is a religious demand I can force upon every woman I serve? What if I’m a vegetarian and as a waiter I will not wait on a customer that orders a T-bone steak? Would the U.S. Supreme Court give me right to say what my customer can eat in a restaurant where I wait tables? How about pork? Would the U.S. Supreme Court give me the right to tell my customer I will not serve them pork if they order it?

Me personally I don’t like men with long hair. I believe it is against my religion. If I bring a case to the U.S. Supreme Court they would give me the right to force my beliefs on all men? That’s what I’m talking about when I say there’s a difference between book sense and common sense. There’s a difference between fleshly wisdom and spiritual wisdom. Oh right I’ll define the difference. Spiritual wisdom knows that I shouldn’t be a ‘busybody in other men’s matters’. Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible 1 Peter 4:15.

As I stated last issue, the founding fathers of America either knew they were extremely flawed or downright evil by not even coming close to installing religion as the ‘barometer to judge matters of law’. Why then are there 6 conservative U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justices ‘HELL’ bent on using their ‘false ludicrous version of piety’ as the standard we all should follow and live under?

Let me give our U.S. Supreme Court an urgent newsflash. The time of the ‘COURTS’ is upon us. Show us that you will fulfill your role in America’s system of ‘CHECKS AND BALANCES’ that keep us all safe. U.S. Supreme Court justices I only have one other thing to say to you. If you rule for the legislature of North Carolina wouldn’t you be making yourselves irrelevant?

I don’t know. I’m just a guy with a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from the University of Louisville in Kentucky. What do I know?

Issue 07: Damage Assessment

I’ve got to start right out the gate with a thousand plus year old verse from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. This involves the timely passing of information, the Army calls it communication, that’s needed to win battles, avert disasters and prevent the ruination of plans. Romans 3:8…And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. Do you know why those that seek to tell us that the Laws of God applies to everyone yet these same folks try to write footnotes to his wisdom?

It’s because they know the application of God’s Laws are uneven (in their fleshly wisdom) from person to person. The work around they so ingeniously pat themselves on the back for their revelation is to underwrite God’s Laws to selectively apply to some of the sins they feel they themselves have overcome. In other words, what God forbids man (old white men) must underwrite to punish those that commit such sins. The United States Supreme Court will underwrite God’s Laws to apply their interpretation to his word. Why is that an example of the ‘arrogance of ignorance’? Answer me.

The ’Court’ will legalize a business owner that caters to the entire public her right to discriminate against a fellow citizen because the business owner disagrees with the way the customer lives her private life. Sounds like Plessy vs. Ferguson to me. What do I know? It’s like we (human beings) are ignorant of the past while possessing an ‘arrogance’ of creating a new future that mirrors the injustices of the past. It makes no dam sense whatsoever! Now who still wonders why countries with little to no freedom to choose their leaders smirk at our systems of governance?

These authoritarian regimes that brutalize their people have one thing going in their favor. Is it consistency? They oppress their people with violence. American media uplifts the mythological order regarding everything else about their societal issues that comes with oppression. No? How about the American media newspaper articles and announcements on their networks about the Republicans gaining more support from women and independents in the waning days of the 2022 elections. Was it true?

Now the ‘Court’ wants to destroy America itself because ‘White people’ fear not being in power anymore. Tell me again why authoritarian dictators smirk? Do you really believe that these leaders don’t listen to their most gifted minds in the mental disciplines? Dictators just go around making decisions willy nilly? Really? They know that evil strikes more fear in their subjects because every human being has flaws. It’s not because people fear death. People lead lives of their own choosing, and sometimes life allows you to lower the priority of the things that really matter like love, freedom and political justice.

The U.S. Supreme Court is seated by 9 flawed individuals. The key factors that dictators and evil regimes count on is their beliefs that they are superior human beings mandated to show the subjects below them how to live. Even if it means I will impose a religious doctrine upon them that I gave myself in spite of God’s incomplete messaging. I will do evil so that the American citizenry can have the good. Right? At least when the founding fathers of this country wrote the U.S. Constitution they knew they were extremely flawed or downright evil and by that they excluded a religious doctrine from the law.

Now we have so-called religious judges hell bent on imposing their religious beliefs in the name of their God. Here’s a hint. Their God is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their God is a false God and he goes by the name of Satan. The founding fathers installed a system of checks and balances. The U.S. Supreme Court will dismantle that and with it shatter the balance of power in Governance bringing the whole system crashing down. If a stool stands with three legs how then can it stand with two?

The damage will be enormous! I don’t see one conservative justice on our U.S. Supreme Court displaying common sense. Six will decide the fate of us all! Six imbeciles believing they can underwrite God’s laws. Six imbeciles attending their so-called churches that spew only fleshly wisdom. So smart they can’t understand the system they are a part of upholding. Yeah, the smartest most religious people in America right? Uh-huh.

James 2:4…are you not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? That’s why the law must apply to everyone equally. If these U.S. Supreme Court Justices want to impose their religious laws somewhere why don’t they apply it in their homes and judge the rest of us like they should. Maybe they should fake out their own minds while lauding over themselves in a mirror at home.

That’s why authoritarian dictators keep it simple while democratic governments consider that their decisions must apply to all regardless of their personal beliefs. Always remember this, governments don’t fall in the dark. They fall in the daylight.

EVERLASTING: AMERICA

EVERLASTING: AMERICA

FOUNDING STATEMENT: It is a noble spirit that wants to protect the innocent. The righteous spirit knows that is not enough to vanquish the darkness in humanity that feeds the evil forces waiting to engulf us. Therefore it is the righteous spirit that understands there must be an indomitable will ready to risk harm to stand against evil. That righteous will present only in the righteous ‘steps off’ the ready line when the need arises no matter the risk.

The everlasting will we call upon to face the dark forces marshaling against America does not rest in the bosom of us all. Evil will not let America rest from this battle now or at an appointed day far from now. All Americans have a say, but all Americans do not possess the capability to be leaders. Truth, honor, devotion to duty, commitment to the principles of human decency aren’t malleable concepts but tenets to live by.

If dark thoughts or dark people easily blot out the light within you, then you have willingly given dominion to the darkness to snuff out your light. America’s future does not need to be in your hands. Therefore it is the responsibility of those of righteous spirit ready to lead us at great risk to themselves and their families. Civilian leaders, civilians and soldiers of this great nation it is your duty to see that America is everlasting. The innocent are counting on you.

Issue 01: Answer the Righteous Call

I’ve sought wisdom and knowledge throughout my entire life. Knowledge that sometimes makes me realize knowing it is difficult. Answers that would make those unable or less endowed with the formidable reasoning skill of ‘why’ would flee the receipt of that knowledge in terror. Before I go on, take in a little bit of this chapter of Psalm in the authorized King James version of the Holy Bible.

Psalm Chapter 1:3-4…And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4…The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. This goes to all the people I’ve heard in the American media lately speaking about President Joe Biden in insulting conclusions. One conclusion is President Biden shouldn’t run for reelection. My readers please let me tell it. I know you’re pulling all my prior digital posts together and telling people what I’m about to say. Just let me tell it.

Being close to a water source means being able to draw from a consistent supply of a life sustaining element the body(tree) needs. Therefore the farthest extremity of the body(tree) is nourished. The body(tree) is assured of life going on. When you feel that the body(tree) doesn’t need a necessary element of life, then the body(tree) will eventually whither and die. Thus your efforts are unsupported which means nothing survives without the thing it needs.

Now let me clue the young, youth in among us elders. That wisdom explains to you first that thinking you’re ready for leadership without it’s necessary accessories reeks of folly on your part. How do you think what needs to happen get done huh? You think ‘the times’ we live in now has space for you (the young) to learn as you go? That ‘TREE’ standing by the rivers of waters and waiting on the harvest to bloom in due season did what I ask? I’m waiting for an answer!

That ‘TREE’ stood close enough to the banks of the river to draw in that life sustaining element. Therefore it sustained the ground it stood upon. It drank from the river(knowledge) what it needed which allowed the (leaves)knowledge time to set in place what it needed to be forever strong. I’m often taken aback when I hear people define what ‘meditate’ means. Moving on, ‘meditate’ means in its’ ancient instruction ‘to allow that which must be learned time to move within our hearts, to alter the perception of in ways unknown before the heart embarks on a journey of growth and clarity, to emerge visibly changed in mind, spirit and body’.

Young people. You cannot achieve growth from what you think you need to know. You must grow from that which is required of you to learn. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has my admiration because she has demonstrated the ability to wield the responsibilities of the office she possesses. Quite enormously successfully I’d say! Has this world gone mad? President Joe Biden accomplished what few Presidents have since the dawn of America. This is the man that the ‘media’ asks a trifling question to the stupid in America? Are we still wondering why the American public is turning on the media? Are you serious?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Joe Biden should remain in leadership. I’m right at 20 years’ the President’s junior. If President Biden decides to run again he will have my vote again period! Speaker Pelosi clearly puts her life on the line for America daily. Only the scumbags among us and the evil politicians that goads them on wish her and her family harm. These are the people Republicans trample over each other for their votes.

External and internal dark thoughts do not have the ultimate power over the internal light within you. I hope we all make the right choice and accept the judgment of the ‘everlasting’ if we do not. Out last us all America.

POLITICAL THEATER

POLITICAL THEATER

This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Being fawned over by those with paid access is not flattery Senators and Congress members. Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…

Article 7: Didn’t See That Coming? Really?

Let’s explore that ‘Venn Diagram’ before the ‘news media’ narrative is added to the history books as the de facto explanation for what just occurred in the United States midterm elections. Follow me back to 2016 and the death of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of my state of residence Kentucky decided to hold the seat vacant until the Presidential election of 2016 was decided. Mitch McConnell’s guy won and a Republican Associate Justice was added to the court. Those that know me know where I’m going with this, but of course I’ll lay it out for newcomers to my site.

Senator McConnell got his justice and something he entirely didn’t calculate in his foolhardy equation. The picture of cheaters mocking the process. Know something, a lot of Americans play to win, but the point McConnell waved off is that Americans love to win within the rules of the game! Now I don’t have a problem with the Amy Coney Barrett seat because U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died while President Trump still had time on his term.

Funny how decisions are made by so-called ‘smart’ politicians and none seem to envision all possible outcomes. Nobody likes a cheater. Who cares that McConnell stole a U.S. Supreme Court seat? Apparently a lot of people did. This resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Popular decision anyone? I believe this one thing which applies to all situations. ‘People in power think they are untouchable. Even if you’re insulated like the U.S. Supreme Court from considering the impact of their rulings. Voters of America across diverse states sent them a message that what they do with their bodies and pregnancy is not for the Supreme Court to decide’.

‘Spot a cheater hide your water’. Republicans started actually going after children. Republicans started believing that lecturing Black people about slavery and the lasting effects of it was right for them to redefine. Critical Race Theory anyone? Republicans started attacking the LGBTQ community. Republicans started sending their buffoons into council, library and college meetings to ban books. Oh, Republicans vote against raising the minimum wage every chance they get. Yeah that’s a good look. First you force women to have children then you artificially keep wages low so they are never able to support them properly.

A Venn Diagram simply shows the relationship among seemingly different things. An eighth grade American Government class project could’ve foreseen the outcomes of the 2022 midterm elections with all the negative things Republicans believe should be forced upon Americans. The great Republican Senatorial Leader Mitch McConnell didn’t see that coming? I find that comforting. Why? Because his vaunted ‘win’ is the only motivation in his bag of tricks should make Democrats put up a picture of him on the wall in their national headquarters! I would.

I got you. I’ll elaborate. When a child wants what he or she wants with allowance money most parents just allow it to happen. Usually after the child buys it other desires inevitably take space in their minds. Most parents teach their children that needs and wants are two vastly different things. Wants aren’t judged very deeply because the instant gratification to possess it usually wins out. Needs though are considered more carefully as this category demands it as scarce resources must be allocated correctly to address specific situations that enhance life.

Take it to mean what you will as my observation is this. Those obsessed with the acquisition of power after attaining it always seem to complain the heavy weight of it causes their feet to drag and their shoulders to droop.

Democrats I am pleased that your political party has the right approach to governing. Lose the ‘mimic’ stick. Don’t do the same crap like the Republicans. Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible Proverbs 3:31…Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. Knock off the gerrymandering stupidity. Set up the game fairly for everybody. Remember Americans don’t like cheaters.

Didn’t see that coming Republicans? I know you didn’t.

Let’s pray the Republicans continue avoiding American Government as if it’s an elective. It is.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 10: The Whirlwind

Do you ever wonder why an assessment of damage is made after the tornado the hurricane has finished? There is a simple answer. In the midst of the storm it is in our nature to seek shelter. Self-preservation is highest in those moments, so as a result the mind is distracted to one thought. Survival. I shall restrain myself to the economic portion of destruction caused by natural events, but rest easy and be faithful that I will cover the mental destruction caused by people and trust me I will demonstrate it is as sweeping as a powerful storm.

Our economic times are being addressed in the way they should’ve been addressed by President Carter. The American economy is going through a first ever economic expansion that every race, color, sex, and creed are participants. The Federal Government has a woman of color as the number two. Decisions are now being made at companies that think twice before exploiting White fear because profits are at risk. Republicans are ducking and covering when asked about higher wages and you still wonder why?

President Biden came in after the storm of destruction started in 2016 and not only has he repaired some of the damage, but he has hit the aftermath like a freight train. Americans, are you seriously perplexed as to why unemployment is low. Wages are now at a base of $15 dollars an hour from $7.25 an hour may I remind you all. The economy is on the cusp of booming times in spite of supply chains still sputtering along. Workers are now on the verge of being parallel to employers seeking their services. Wow! Still Americans refuse to believe in the greater good for all. I wonder why?

Life is always easier when you are first in the serving line. As long as food is on your plate why should you worry if everyone will be fed. Now the times we’re now in doesn’t register on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and if it did it would probably be a .0001 event. High gas prices are the fault of the American consumer. When Democrats wanted higher miles per gallon (MPG) standards the people, yes you American consumers, didn’t press Republicans to allow it to happen. If you were getting 50 miles a gallon none of you sluggards would be complaining right now about the price of gasoline.

I know we’re not having this discussion on higher grocery prices! I’m 56 years old and I still remember the price of a combo back in the late 80’s and 90’s. It was $5 dollars for a Big Mac combo and it was hot with two slices of cheese. Stop allowing the media to make fools of you! I know it doesn’t take a college degree to figure out that the price of goods and services has a direct correlation to the wages of the people that cater to you.

So duck and cover all you want for a fake storm or false hurricane forecast. There is no whirlwind! Now I want to speak to the voters that consider wisely the entire country when they cast their vote. Not just thinking about themselves, but considering what effect their vote will have on their neighbors. From the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Isaiah 56:11…Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.

Inflation is necessary and part of the equation for expansion to happen. Higher prices are necessary so workers can earn more money. More participation opens the minds of creative people that have gifts from God to introduce new and good things into the economy. I was nineteen when AOL was founded. GPS was started in 1973 by the DOD. President Eisenhower signed the Interstate Highway Act in 1956. Satellite internet was started in September 2003. I could go on and on even though I hope I made my point.

Stop complaining and dry those crocodile tears! Republicans as you may recall have always worked to sabotage government. Their hero President Reagan said it himself. “Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem”. Give the Republicans power and you know what they will do. Blame everybody else. It’s not so easy anymore to play to White prejudice because people of color have platforms to call it what it is instantly. The media can’t play the ‘I’m just reporting what I saw and heard’ game anymore. The media is responsible for the current climate of foolishness alongside all the evil people looking to destroy America.

It must be sad for the media that they can’t glamorize their ‘STRONGMEN’ around the world and get away with it now. The whirlwind is fake! Don’t believe me? Has there been a storm and has it passed? If so assess the damage yourself. Do you see destruction as far as the scope of your vision will allow? No? Get your butt up and vote.

GROUND WATER SKY

Ground Water Sky

Issue 06: Infliction

Explain to me why I should care about Russian President Vladimir Putin being humiliated? Is it because the media that created this illusion of a ‘strongman’ that they now cannot abandon it? I still hear ‘media’ types on television and read them in print maintaining their fidelity to this maniac. President Putin. This edition is to the people of the Russian Federation. Russians, cheering this man who is causing, causing untold suffering to children. When the Sun sets in the evening after a long day of enjoying yourselves skinning and grinning at a man that is now poised to inflict hunger on children. Hunger on children. Let that sink into your thick skulls Russian citizens. In the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two, the world is witnessing a buffoon sky dive Russia straight down the exploding eruption of an active volcano.

This ‘strongman’ called such by the same mentality present in all the world that causes people to look up to those they perceive as ‘Conquerors’. Let’s look at recent history of ‘Conquerors’ and how they turned out. It is said that Napoleon led France to have most of Europe under his thumb, but loss power when he pushed his army in Russia. Napoleon didn’t conquer Russia which probably led to the current phraseology used in America of his men saying ‘Man I’m tired of this guy’.

Adolf Hitler we all know expanded beyond the limits of warfare never before believed possible in modern times. I’m sure you remember also that Hitler had folks thinking that same phraseology with a slight tweak. It probably went something like, ‘Master race my ass! Why am I getting sunburns still? Moral Law will get us too someday’.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republic. Wow, that’s a long name with a less than generous record of conquest. What was it I learned about history? If someone saves your ass Russian people why don’t you remind your would be leaders about it? I do believe allied forces inflicted enormous losses on Germany that made it necessary to redeploy forces away from the borders of the Soviet Union. This respite was how Russia owes its’ very existence to America.

Isn’t this an all too familiar story humanity? If this man, President Putin, is a great conqueror in the mode of the ‘admired’ conquerors in history. Then tell me if anyone can reasonably expect what would be the same conclusion to this present version of a ‘mighty conqueror’? None of the legacies of those ‘men’ are even in evidence today.

So Russian citizens I’m speaking to you. Your President, President Putin cries when his ‘genius’ plan so-called by other ‘geniuses’ particularly the former President Trump of America is going so poorly. Now we shouldn’t say bad things about his awful screw up? We should be careful not to bruise his ego? Being absolutely clear as I can be now. Are you saying that the world should buy the ‘façade’ of a man desperate to be called ‘strong’ no matter the ‘inflated’ price tag that labels his ego? Really?

Everybody listen now because the next string of words are harsh. Just as the so-called churches in the South knew speaking against hatred would send their parishioners to other churches so they kept quiet. The same goes for every Russian that stands there smiling and ‘yakking’ it up with each other. The same verdict will be pronounced for your lives. Responsibility lies with all when evil is given a wink and a nod of support even to preserve your own life. Don’t spit in God’s face and tell him it’s water in the air. I couldn’t stop President Putin and his band of ‘lackies’ is not an excuse.

All those children looking up in the dark of night in Ukraine hoping it is the face of their mothers before they close their eyes to sleep are thankful for the strength the view offers them. Their stomachs though need the Russian people to assure them that they will have a good breakfast to eat when they hear their mothers announce their meal is ready. Please Russian people. Everybody is ‘tired of your guy’.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 56 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 7: Will Power?

Question? If someone crafts a deceptive narrative that covers a miniscule part of a pressing human issue. Sells it as the be all cause for assorted things that face the majority of adults. Ties it emotionally to why you can’t get ahead in life. Then assigns blame to a political party so you feel good about voting for your own destruction. I’d say that scenario should be played over and over again until somebody realizes they’re getting played. Wouldn’t you agree?

That can be said about tax policy. That can be said about inflation. That can be said about abortion. That can be said about Social Security (even though you pay for that out of your paycheck). By the way you ask most people about Social Security they will tell you it’s an unfunded government program. Really. That’s no joke.

I’ll provide an alternative take on the historical record regarding economic expansion through the decades. Minimum wage was created because like everything human there is an element of evil as God has informed us thousands of years ago. Read Malachi 3:5 (You probably should read it for yourself). Then as America’s economic system of capitalism expanded came the need for affluence for the creators of things. The engineers not unlike the ‘stone carvers’ of ancient Egypt demanded a premium for their skill set. This set off an expansion of the economy. Wages had to follow suit to the higher cost of the goods that were created or they wouldn’t be made right?

Take America circa 2012 or maybe a year or two later give or take. Wage increase movements started to grow. With wage growth the money has to come from somewhere right? I see your hand over there. You’re a smart woman. Correct. The price of the goods sold must go up in order to pay the higher cost of labor right? Why then do millions of people still fall for the ‘arrogance of ignorance’ trap?

My advice to President Biden and his administration is to keep hitting the American economy like a freight train! Don’t even worry about people not understanding how much better their lives are. Democrats give them the health care without the specter of bankruptcy which they rightfully deserve and people still vote them out! Democratic movements (show me a Republican marching for higher wages I dare you) are responsible for wage hikes that are now locked in place. Democrats get voted out of office!

Democrats in the White House literally save the worlds, not only America’s, but the world economy and they get voted out! Democrats have lost their voices screaming through bullhorns about the onslaught against women and all their rights being in jeopardy and they get voted out of office! Oh by the way, Democrats were spot on about the U.S. Supreme Court coming for women. Didn’t matter.

Now I’m a champion for everything that’s good and right first for our planet, and then all of humanity. Human beings and their money wouldn’t matter anyway if there isn’t a planet to live on. Democrats still get voted out for being against destroying the planet. I’m not making this up! Republicans take their marching orders from the rich. Let me ask this question which anyone that has the answer please do not shout it out. I want to call on a Republican voter for an answer.

What rich person offered wage hikes before a union, a strike, or a shortage of skilled labor made them do it kicking and screaming? Give me a name please. Crickets. Then why are you falling for the same trick over and over again? I work as a mental health technician making about $40 thousand a year. I am at 90% percent VA disability. My income is over $60 thousand a year. I’ve just gotten married to a nurse which would probably kick our combined income over $130 thousand a year. I could care less about the cost of anything because I only buy what I eat. I combine trips to the grocery store with other errands. My wife does the same.

Do me a favor people please. Don’t cry them crocodile tears and go vote Republican. The old saying goes ‘never make a quick decision when you’re angry’. Well it should say ‘never make a bad decision when you’re emotional’. If I were the deceivers playing you like a worn out Arthur Catton Lancaster violin, I’d tune up ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee’ for you idiots as well.

The pandemic stimulus package was the sole cause of inflation? Yeah right! Now every billionaire or rich person chiming in crying about that I bet you were steaming mad when ordinary working folks got $1400 that the Republicans could’ve given to them. Tell those billionaires something for me will ya. Tell them to go back to laying on a bed of their money like ‘Scrooge McDuck’ and let people of good conscience fight for everyone else.

Oh, and by the way that violin was played by Wallace Hartley as the Titanic sank. Yeah, let the people, the Democrats, that have steered the ‘Ship of State’ through the roughest of times man the helm. The economy has not crashed in my lifetime. Let me end with something else the Democrats have more than Republicans ever will. The Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible. Proverbs 24:10…If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

Being strong is sticking with your convictions to do the right thing no matter the naysayer. Being weak is running into the house that is built on sand by the Republicans even after they’ve sold you deceptively on sand being the stronger foundation.

Just make sure the storm doesn’t sweep you out to sea. In the meantime, I’m going to invest in companies that make life jackets. I’m looking up their balance sheets right now.

Preamble:

Issue 5: Twice?

What? Attempt at deception twice if unsuccessful is the responsibility of the ‘target’ of the deception. Wow. That is what I said as I watched the ‘news media’ say the upcoming Federal elections are polling in favor of the Republicans. My answer to all the people who’ve been busting their asses fighting for their rights. Don’t fall for it! I don’t know who the ‘media’ polled to get their results favoring the very people responsible for taking your rights, but I suspect that ‘newsflash’ was timed to scare you.

Despair is a tool of deception those with power press down to increase the uncertainty many people think is real. Inflation or more descriptive terminology, the price of goods and services directly relates to the wages of the people that are employed to make them profitable. Now what I don’t get is why this ‘herd mentality’ is being bought hook, line and sinker by people that know better? If you don’t know me by now on ‘inflation’ I’ll tell you. I don’t care if prices rise because I want my fellow citizens to earn wages worthy enough for their contribution to the economic engine of America. So don’t show me your crocodile tears because you’re the most gullible people on the planet.

Now that being said, people, get back to work and stay focused. What did you think? Did you really believe that the ‘media’ isn’t doing the bidding of those with the money and power? Did you really think that they wouldn’t try to derail the ‘freight train’ of women, minorities, immigrants and good hearted White Americans ready to vote Republicans out of office for the rights they’ve taken already, and they still aren’t finished? Don’t fall for it.

Just understand that it is going to be the biggest ‘air to air’ battle in the history of this country! Some of your friends are going to vote against you. Expect that to happen. When you’re parachuting back to the ground call base and tell them to get another plane ready at the same time retrieval is on the way. Get back up in that sky with guns blazing because your opponents have the backing of ‘old money’. They won’t hesitate to darken the sky with every deceptive ‘plane’ in their hanger.

Stay in the fight. Just like you keep getting up every day working for a better life for yourself and hopefully those coming of age behind you. This fight is for all of us. Keep fighting until the buzzer sounds because your opponent ‘the media and the power behind it’ will fight you beyond the sound of the buzzer as the scoreboard is blaring in the background.

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 25: Who Really Wields the Power?

I want to start this edition by making a confession. My father was a cruel sadistic man when it came to punishing his children. Extension cords and broom sticks were not excluded as instruments of discipline. Now the important part of this revelation being made is the fact that the hatred it spawned in my life toward him. For decades and yes even after his death the hatred for what he did to me lingered. Now the only saving grace for me was the counsel of my third wife Lisa that solved my false pious arrogance. What did she ‘help’ me to realize?

This is what she helped me with. My hatred for my father for his injuries I had carried internally and externally only harmed me! I couldn’t wield ‘HATRED’ no more than I could stop air from being all around me. Hatred was never a force that I could only project outward towards those that have wronged me. Hatred is an evil essence that encompasses you like a second skin. Once hatred is invited in it invites more treacherous relatives to your party. Relatives like lying, stealing, empty thoughts that call upon you to physically harm yourself or others, cruelty and a total lack of empathy or hospitality.

When I see all these so-called Christians, which they are not, piling into these so-called demon houses but you may call them churches. I see a total disregard for every tenet that Jesus Christ taught his Father’s creation to seek after. A football coach that owes his wealth to the young Black men that believed his lies of love. Mr. Tommy Tuberville only had hatred in his heart for them. The Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis taking money that’s not his and meddling in the affairs of desperate people fleeing hardship seeking a better life. I guess Mary Mother of God would’ve been put on a camel to a sanctuary city as well. Her son, Jesus Christ, separated from her to boot.

A football player’s only claim of validation is the Heisman Trophy he was awarded makes him worthy to lead people through the trials of some of the darkest times in human history. A pastor in Reverend Senator Warnock is not the kind of man that these so-called Christians admire? Oh I get it. Pastor Warnock believes that a woman has the right to choose whether see wants to carry a pregnancy. The Authorized King James version Holy Bible…1 Peter 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.

I guess the Holy Bible for so-called Bible thumping ‘EVANDEVICALS’ only applies as a stick to beat others over the head with. Pastor Warnock is not God and his convictions do not overrule the personal choices of the members of his church or citizens of Georgia writ large. Of course, Herschel Walker can claim ‘holiness’ because his sins aren’t relevant when so-called Christians are seeking power. Tell me again why no one respects the ‘church’?

These are the people we chose to be our leaders and future leaders? These Republicans are hanging a millstone around a lot of fools necks, and all of those people that buy their hatred still wonder why their lives are subject to so much evil. I am in an interracial marriage and I talk openly to my wife about the kind of Black people that would sell their souls for ’30 pieces of silver’ in a second. What do I mean by that?

I’ll tell you. Often I see Black men and women that have achieved a level of financial success suddenly look down upon Black people that have not. Don’t even try it. I’m well on my way to being blessed with abundance, but I’ll never believe that a Republican wouldn’t ‘LYSOL’ his or her furniture when I exited their home. Achievement for some Black people means acceptance into a White America that has always talked out the side of their neck. What? Did you really believe that Senator Tommy Tuberville actually respected Black people? I work in mental health if you did. Do you really think that Republicans respect the 10% of Black people that vote for them?

Republicans have never done anything for anybody because it was the right thing to do. Republicans only did it because it was a calculated political move they knew would provide the illusion that they care to naïve Black people. Do you really think that Republicans are joking about challenging legitimate election results if they don’t win? Do you think Republicans are joking when they say they are going to roll back every single right women and Black folks have so help them ‘false god’! Vote anyone? Abortion Rights anyone? Keep thinking that in the face of all the evidence to the contrary.

I’ve been freed from decades of self-torture because I thought I was justified and righteous in my hatred of my father. It turned out I was the ‘butt of the joke’. My meaning of this old synonym is the ‘cruel nature and vile disgust directed toward the object of such ridicule means to make that person or a race of people irrelevant to the point they exist as anything but a human being or a race of people’. Hatred knocked me around for decades. When I finally released it, a recent occurrence I’ll add, it was like the barrier between me and life was knocked down. A darkness I’ll never invite in again!

As I stated earlier here I’m well on my way to abundance, but I’m nowhere near and never will be a naïve Black person who believes that money will make me acceptable to someone with hatred in their heart. I suggest reading Proverbs 23 in its entirety if you choose not to believe me. Some of the people with vast wealth will bust a hole in ‘HELL’ when they fall through that lake of fire. For those Black people with their ‘GOLDEN TICKET’ better check the paper it’s printed on. I’m telling them it’s ‘fake’.

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

ISSUE 5: Right Time, First Time

What do we tell our children when they are young? We should tell them that telling the truth is the easiest and quickest way to get a wrong behind you because the correction is softer while the punishment is laced with profound wisdom. All that visit my site know that I despise Holy Bible thumping ‘EVANDEVICALS’ play acting Christians. All their history of pouring out of White churches lynching innocent Black men for ‘shits and giggles’ all the while thinking blasphemously they’re doing God’s work. I’ll tell you a secret pet peeve of mine close on par with that. How can a Black person assume the devilish ways of the White oppressor.

In the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible in Proverbs 3:31…’Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways’. When I hear these Republicans tell that assclown Senate candidate Herschel Walker to be more like that buffoon former President Trump; I want to scream obscenities at that Black man. Choose the ways of Donald Trump that refused to rent to Black people. He ridicules the crippled. He insults women as quickly as he breaths air. He’s put America on the edge of a cliff for our enemies to push us into an abyss. Herschel Walker chose to go full blown oppressor Republican. As I’ve stated before many times on this website you’ve been shown by Republicans who they are.

The picture I’ve chosen for this edition is full of irony. Republicans and voters that vote for them are all crippled by the unknowns in front of them. I’d rather have Democratic leaders that ‘make decisions’ aware of what’s seen and unseen. Don’t let Republicans sell you on the merits that being paralyzed and immobile while staring into the unknown is an economic strategy. That’s insane! By the way, that turtle has more sense than all Republicans combined.

I’d rather have a leader, male or female that doesn’t retreat to tired, old lame economic gimmicks when the Earth (the economy) could open up beneath their feet spiraling down into utter darkness. Tax breaks for the wealthy in the midst of an 8.5 economic earthquake? British Prime Minister Truss blew her one chance to rally England behind her. That’s what you do when you’re fighting hundred mile per hour winds from the leading edge of the hurricane? Insulting trickle down economic malarkey? Wrong move! Prime Minister Truss should’ve looked at what President Biden has done and hit British problems and issues like a freight train! Oh well, I guess when you don’t want to take risks that’s what you do. You settle into a soft chair and let it cradle your ass.

Listen to me now. Pressure is a downward force. I’ll dive deeper into the meaning in my stories and future editions of my periodicals. Inflation is the cause of all the crocodile tears in America? How do you think we’ve got to a standard $15 dollars an hour wage? I still don’t understand why Democrats don’t respond with say, ‘Well you like your wages now don’t you?’ That is what it takes to move the ‘needle’ morons. Stop patronizing voters and tell them to get on board the train, or tell them to stand in the road staring in the grass waiting on somebody to cut it down so they can walk through the field.

Republicans have fought everything I’ve just said for decades. Democrats have done all the work fighting like hell to get America to a better place and Republicans come in and get all the glory for not lifting a finger to help? Are you serious right now? Republicans dumb down citizens, destroy the U. S. Capital, kill and maim police officers, sabotage elections, co-opt White Supremist groups to intimidate voters and these are the officials Americans want in charge of this country? Have at I’d say.

Let me say something else about President Biden. Everyone can attempt to knock this man’s leadership all they want. I admire while taking note of his astute ability to guide current events, near term planning and long term challenges to ensure America remains on top of the world. ‘True Elder’ which he is one of has demonstrated the mental and physical fortitude to aggressively face the problems before him. President Biden has pushed valiantly ideas, laws, policies and more importantly the ‘vision’ that is evident aforementioned for the cause of America! Pressure is a downward force! We can listen to the young all we want and we should, but President Biden has decades of wisdom, life experience, tenacity and the ‘grit’ to move America’s friends and enemies in the direction he wants.

Show me a young leader equipped to do the same right now? Give me a name? Somebody tell me something? Okay give me the name of an ‘Elder’ statesman on par with President Biden? No one? Really? That’s what I thought. Start being thankful to God and thank President Biden for doing what he’s doing.

Moving on now. Let’s talk about Capitalism and put it to the test. Capitalism stifles innovation. Let’s discuss the oil and automobile industries. If everybody agrees or not let’s assume oil will dry up some day. Why then does auto manufacturers as a group soft peddle alternate methods of propulsion? Electric vehicles are far from perfected wouldn’t you agree? If the day is approaching that ‘oil’ will dry up then why not fully develop other forms of energy to propel our transportation requirements?

Capitalism is not a form of government. Capitalism is an economic system. Governments are responsible to foresee the future. Capitalist companies don’t collaborate in the big things like the transportation industry. The cell phone industry for uniform power cables. Electric vehicle technology. All capitalists do is take their patents and bask in the exclusivity of their product while the world roles the dice on a finite (oil) commodity.

Now about the oil industry playing with a marked deck of cards. Gas prices are subject to the whims of those dealing the cards. Stop falling for the distraction gas consumers. Spectating from the sidelines every time the oil industry plays you like a flute. Dry up them tears before you slip and fall. Wondering why the ‘house’ always wins. Ever wonder what the old saying ‘Don’t bite off more than you can chew’? Well it means the ‘mouth is a bigger opening than the throat is which means what you’re eating is harder to swallow than you thought it would be’.

Pretty much all emotions to include the evil ones have no color, race, creed, sex, gender or nationality. The one I’ll expose here is the one many of us are vexed by. Hatred. I thought hatred was a force I could allow in and project outward. I was wrong. Hatred when allowed in sets upon you like a cloud and try as we might we know we can’t slap, fan, or blow away a cloud. That’s correct! The saying we all have heard. You cannot wield it! Hatred destroys everybody and everything! Get that through your thick skulls. I’m glad my new wife has taught me that.

In closing I will always say you get what you asked for. Women if you want to have all your rights taken away keep voting Republican. Black Americans if you still can’t see how far you’ve come in rights and justice has been by God and the Democratic Party. Americans that want to love who they will by their own choice. Or not. Please vote your conscience and if it’s Republican I’m fine with it. Don’t shed them fake crocodile to me anymore.

To the Democratic Party. I hope that every one of you that still works for the survival of America don’t give in to cynicism because people can’t recognize who’s actually helped them. Let them. Every voter that cries their crocodile tears vote Republican. Let them. Let them get what’s coming to them as the scripture says. ‘What they sow let them reap it’.

Be well America.

Issue 24: Even a Pastor Can’t Perform His Divine Service

I wonder what we will see next from the police. A Black person helping an old lady to cross the street being shot dead as kindness is a crime? A Black person helping an old white lady put a 50 lb bag of sod into her trunk being wrestled to the ground in a carotid hold? Oh, I got one, how about a Black person watering the flowers of a neighbor that asked him to do it and then the Black person gets arrested. Oh, don’t forget this part. The Black person is a pastor no less. You cannot make this stuff up if you asked God himself to bless you with the premise.

For example, 1 Peter 5:2…feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. Oh course I’m going to explain this verse for the unlearned and the ‘evangelicals’ among us. If you’re asked by a neighbor for help you shouldn’t ask for money (filthy lucre). Not by constraint means no one should interfere with the duty of helping a neighbor willingly because you’re looking out for them as promised. Now being of a ready mind means to do something for someone else because it’s the right thing to do.

Watering a neighbors grass and caring for their property is covered in the decree given by God to feed his flock. Now whether the police officers in Childersburg, Alabama ever learned that doesn’t come as a surprise to me. Being ‘FIXATED’ on finding crime in even the most mundane of chores is part and parcel of being unprofessional in conducting police work. Now a normal person riding by and seeing somebody water flowers would simply wave at them and keep going. Not the police! I mean I can think of untoward acts involving watering flowers that would immediately require a call to SWAT.

In all candor what the pastor did is covered under the ‘decree’ of feeding the flock of God. When I was growing up I always heard about the pastor of the church going to give a small service to ‘the sick and shut-ins’ that physically couldn’t come to church. How the grass was cut. The house cleaned. Food prepped and well wishes left for recovery and good health. I’m going to continue to shout this from the pages of my website forever! It’s not the job of citizens to excuse ‘klondike kops’ behavior. It’s the job of the police to police their own ranks with the appropriate civilian oversight. Police always want the praise but they get pissed when you point out their wrongs. What’s the old saying, ‘You can’t have it both ways’.

Now for this last nugget of information relating to former President Trump and the idiots that promoted hydroxychloroquine. Does anyone remember the television show starring Anthony Michael Hall? The Dead Zone, Season 2 Episode 14, ‘Plague’ will tell you where they came up with the cure for Covid 19.

As all my loyal readers know I work in the field of mental health. Tell me something great fans of this website. The elders and experienced so-called ‘professionals’ in every field of discipline that has translated their skills into jobs explain this to me. Why education, life experience, what works and doesn’t work. Why all of this wisdom and knowledge being reviewed by all sorts of people capable of discernment consistently leaves us all dispirited? Why can’t we marvel with joy at the ‘just’ adjudication of authority in America?

Why do we have to see the leaders of one political party (The Democrats) correct the unlawful intentional bad acts of another political party (The Republicans). Not only that but the Democrats have to fight the Republicans on laws both parties passed in Congress. Laws, rules, regulations and judicial rulings both political parties have sworn to follow. As I said in one of my other digital periodicals ‘America: The Reroute’ hem and hawing over the security of America as if one man is above the law defies madness.

As I said before, ‘SECRETS’ are soft targets. Ask Russia if having more firepower than Ukraine foretells Russia’s inevitable victory. Troop movements, combat strategy, application of ‘The Art of War’ principles is what leads a country to victory. Again I don’t care if all the ‘Evandevicals’ in America make former President Trump their God with an idol of him on their nightstand staring at them while they sleep. Ex-President Trump is an evil man who will never repent. Get that through your thick skulls ‘EvanDevicals’!

America is the point. Therefore God’s mercy is upon America because enough ‘Christians’, spiritual beings along those that believe and practice whatever religion they desire ask for God’s mercy upon us constantly. All those power hungry ‘assclowns’ don’t have the ear or presence of God. Are you kidding me? These fools believe God is vindictive and petty? That God wanted White people to deface and disgrace the capital city of our nation? That God chose even one of those hundreds of people to be a leader of any level of our government Federal or State? Are you sick?

Fight for America. That means rewarding authority to the Democratic political party that has shown what side they’re on. Give Democrats the authority and they will continue to do their jobs for America. Democrats I’ve come to understand why they avoided fights as fighting over clearly what’s right is ludicrous to them. Consequentially the Democratic Party now understands that America itself is on the ballot. This fight is forever now. Democrats know this now. Help Democrats preserve America for hundreds of years to come. America is the point!

Vote Democrat. Please. Thank you.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 9: YOU WANTED PROOF? YOU GOT IT!

Man, some wonderful things can happen if you just wait awhile and let life play out and run its’ course. Republicans have shown you who they are as clear as FUCK. Back the Blue? Republicans don’t give a shit about police officers as you see and hear with both eyes and ears. Don’t believe me ask the FBI. Republicans don’t give a rats ass about the court system. Don’t believe me ask any Federal and State judges. Republicans don’t give a ‘DAM’ about women and their rights. Ask Roe vs. Wade and the denial of rights will keep on coming! Voting rights? Republicans mean you as well and don’t look at your bank account. It doesn’t have enough zeros behind the number you’re staring at you imbecile.

Republicans wouldn’t give two wooden nickels for the poor. Ask them about their opposition to collecting fair taxes from the wealthy? Republicans don’t give a dam about ‘gas’, food or the cost of anything. Ask them why they don’t tell you that wages are connected to the cost of everything? Republicans don’t give a dam about women’s health care. Ask a woman how many hoops she will now jump through to fulfill her rights? Republicans aren’t going to offer one solution to solve one problem everyone can agree on like money, medical leave after birth of children or child care for women and men choosing to return to the work force.

Every idiot (I hope you get mad at the right one cause that’s what you are) that votes Republican are just like those ‘EvanDevicals’ I call them. Those Holy Bible thumpers that either can’t read or won’t open that book to fulfill even their ‘two-factor authentication’ like it says in the ‘good book’. So-called Christians you’re not off the hook for doing evil. Nobody is going to be by your side at your judgment when you say ‘I thought he was telling me the truth’. Listen knuckleheads “you don’t get to bring an ‘empty plate’ to the table and say serve me whatever you want and I’ll eat it”.

The Holy Bible Authorized King James version Proverbs 4:19…’The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble’. Translation? ‘It means when following the wrong people willingly their evil will never light your pathway’.

Now let’s talk again about the ‘Liberal Media’ clutching their pearls as if they had nothing to do with creating ‘Fox News’ or their clones. Take for instance I saw again on television 21 August 2022 a survey question. An ‘arrogance of ignorance’ survey question at that. ‘Do you believe America’s best days are behind it’. I thought how in the world can someone actually believe they know the future. How in the world can someone ask such an asinine question when America has never fully embraced and deployed all her talents! Hint every other race, nationality and creed while White people keep thinking only they’ve contributed to the small success America has produced so far.

Just like I told my doctor when he diagnosed me with prostate cancer giving me 3 options of treatment as removal (mutilation), radiation, and desecration (chemotherapy) to which I told him I’m not falling out of my chair impressed by those three choices. I’ll continue saying this until the day I die. If anyone has achieved all they have then turn the lights out and shut the fucking door! Wrong track for the country? How could anyone know that when every good thing is opposed?

Republicans are the ‘BIG LIE’! Who in the world tasked with addressing pressing problems like climate change with evidence all over the country doesn’t vote in the affirmative! Republicans will save us when we give them power again? Are you insane? All of them didn’t vote for the CHIPS ACT. I’m not going to tell you what the Chips Act addresses because I don’t want America’s enemies to sabotage it. Think on this one point. What if every critical system from commercial to defense is fried and we need to replace them quickly? Yep, this is what Republicans voted against.

It shouldn’t take Democrats to scream loudly what they are doing in scrambling to shore up America before somebody tries us. Secrets are soft targets people. Do you think our enemies are itching to go head to head with our military might? If you do you need to check into a mental hospital right now. Soft targets have the highest probability of success and produce the most significant damage to our force capability. I don’t care what you think about me, but I don’t care if we elected an orange man to be ‘GOD’ himself. If that orange man could cost me the country itself I’ll put him in the darkest prison I can find for America to live on I promise you that.

America listen to me. If you are eligible to vote I ask that you consider America itself and vote for the Democrats. Democratic candidates are shoring up our country. All the nonsense laced with lamebrained discombobulated word salad the Republicans are throwing at you is so you can clutch your pearls happily unaware of what’s at stake. Democrats much to my frustration aren’t very good at explaining what they’re doing. I understand them completely which is why I am talking to everyone else this way.

The Republicans are telling you what they’re doing, and showing you at the same time they are dead serious. How much more proof do you need to wake up before they strip you of everything you believe is important?

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 12: When Thoughts Are Altered What Happens Next?

Prologue:

(I wish the dialogue in this episode wouldn’t be necessary, but in order to counteract evil intentions and distorted mythological creations of the reality we all have been facing it must be done. Forgive me as I must write this for the record. Let me start with Heaven itself and the Almighty First Father’s Kingdom. As no one on Earth has lived in Heaven and saw what lines its streets or the structures that populate his house; we can only assume that there aren’t any monuments to Satan staring back at God as he strolls his streets. Accepting that truth then it is reasonable to conclude that when evil was defeated in Heaven it wasn’t allowed a place of glory. Evil wasn’t allowed to erect monuments to make all the ‘HOST’ of Heaven behold what Satan tried to accomplish. Losers are an afterthought never to be forethought again. Hold that thought.

Reconciliation is not required to make evil part of the family again. You see when you go against the good the majority is striving to achieve you don’t get to have a say about what comes after your ill intent. As I had to caste out Terence Dohey from the ‘PLAYBOY’ development team run by Nicole it was meant to convey the serious nature of how an organization must be run. There can’t be mistakes reasoned away like children being reared as their behaviors are expected as the world is unknown to them. Once an adult becomes a full member that is trusted to keep the greater good top of mind mistakes are inexcusable.

America was never a great country. How can anyone start right out of the gate in greatness? That pronouncement never made any sense. What America’s promise is that one thing that all those White men surely didn’t realize they included in the Constitution. They made the Constitution ‘AMENDABLE’. That and only that has allowed ‘GOD’ to show mercy on America. This isn’t a holy country. How can a country be holy and commit acts so unspeakable against human beings that White men still pretend never happened? That is this mythological fabrication of how life was thought of in America by White men that controlled all the levels of information. That is why there aren’t ‘Honorable Mentions’ of ARC members who’ve betrayed the mission of this company. Betrayers, Haters, Losers and their ilk aren’t celebrated at the ARC.).

Mother Sayer: (The ‘PLAYBOY’ has been an enormous success for the ARC’s bottom line. Mother is currently making the rounds to the team that developed it 2 years ago.). Nicole I’ve had many project leads in my years here, but you’ve shown an adept ability to keep the energy of your team surging. How do you do it?

Nicole: I must say the reason is a big dose of it goes to you believing in me. Yes yes I know I came to the table with skills of my own, but I listened to you. Respecting everyone’s contribution and hearing what they have to say did dawn on me like a spiritual awakening. I’ve never had an experience like that ever and not just at a job but nowhere in my life.

Mother Sayer: Okay okay Nicole I know I’ve helped you view people as people and not as a means to conclude a project.

Nicole: Don’t do that. I’m not going to let you do that.

Mother Sayer: Do what?

Nicole: I know this is what you do to your staff. You downplay your role and see if they will completely erase or minimize what you do for them. I’m not going to do that. I see things in the world now differently. Do you really think I’m not shaking with gratitude? I wouldn’t go back to the way I thought before about things in life if you strapped me to a table and tortured me.

Mother Sayer: (Mother chuckles and motions Nicole to relax.). I’m just doing a check on learning. I should really try to develop a new approach so my staff can’t read me like a book. In all seriousness I’ve also been the beneficiary of someone who didn’t stop at giving a dam about me, but he wanted me to actually know what it’s like to feel helpful to people.

Nicole: (Nicole motions to Mother could we please sit down.). Do you have some time to talk to me? I just want to get a few things out in the open about what being a part of something life changing means to me. Not just earning a paycheck that ties into a mundane life; I’m talking about something that puts a smile on my face even when I’m sleeping.

Mother Sayer: I did my part Nicole. A main part of my philosophy is to pick up those willing to reach up to me with a helping hand.

Nicole: If you would’ve met me just 2 and a half years ago I would’ve slap your hand away with all the disdain for you assuming I can’t pick myself up off the ground.

Mother Sayer: (Mother thinks to herself her instincts were right, but don’t get it twisted she still needed to be sure of Nicole. That’s why she drops a full load on everybody she thinks highly of because she doesn’t have the time to waste on mental weakness.). Was that the indignation I saw bristling over every inch of your skin?

Nicole: How right you are. I was one of those workers, a woman working in a world run by men. Some of them possessing less than a third of the drive in me to do something extraordinary, but where could I have an opportunity to actualize? When you found me at that moment I had sprung a ‘leak’.

Mother Sayer: Ah a ‘leak’.

Nicole: Don’t, let me tell it in my own way. Like power lines that keep the power contained and flowing in the direction the source generator intended. I felt my power my energy generator failing. It wasn’t feeding my lofty purpose at levels I’ve strived to maintain and expected. The ‘leak’ manifested itself in the form of ‘doubt’. ‘Doubt’ began to siphon my energy. It made me start to think I would never achieve what I knew I could achieve.

Mother Sayer: Know thyself.

Nichole: Yes Mother, I never felt despair before, and it scared me. My expectations were born from my own beliefs. My abilities I possessed. My education journey didn’t have a lot of ‘benefit of the doubt’ or ‘she’s trying give her a break’. I must’ve pulled the murders row of teachers that only awarded grades that you earned. Those periods of time spent in school taught me this. ‘Don’t ever go to the altar of life carrying a cup with holes. When you fill the bag to cross the desert in the baking Sun don’t complain you lost half your water not even a third of the way into the journey’.

Mother Sayer: I could have you stop there, and you would’ve made this month for me and next month, but I’m not going to stop you. Go on.

Nicole: When I connected with you my energy drain was plugged. It was like my energy levels began to return back to a time where I knew what I had to offer the world. Now I have an energy source that I could charge my power plant. Our energy is compatible if I may say so Mother.

Mother Sayer: You may.

Nicole: Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for creating something life giving and I’m not talking about a paycheck. I’m talking about owning a part of what I helped to create. That’s fantasy in America.

Mother Sayer: I’ll tell you why that’s fantasy Nicole. Capitalism is selectively defined to mean the owners of the company are the only ones that are worthy of its benefits. Do you know what I’m saying?

Nicole: I do. Capitalism as defined in America means that although the owner wouldn’t be nothing without the workers to build the wealth. Only the owners are celebrated for achieving the wealth and success of a company.

Mother Sayer: That is correct. When the workers want to unionize the workforce the owner balks. Why is that? Is it because the workers failed to produce any meaningful growth and prosperity for the company? Shouldn’t the workers who are mainly responsible for the success of the company share in the wealth they produced?

Nicole: Makes sense to me. I’ve made more money here than I’ve made in the last ten years in one year. Not to mention with part ownership of what my team has created I’ve set my family up for wealth for generations to come.

Mother Sayer: That’s returning to the true meaning of capitalism. Even if my staff didn’t fork over the seed money to get a product out of the ‘imagination’ realm to reality they still righteously deserve their cut.

Nicole: Nobody does what you’re doing Mother. I know only of a few industries that have creative agreements with their creators, but they obfuscate how everyone shares in the success of the products that they often have to go to court to make the capitalist honor the agreement.

Mother Sayer: Let me say this without equivocation. The pursuit of money is not a laudable endeavor. Money has been made out to be a pursuable human quality when it is obtained it gives them honor and prestige. The resulting truism is ‘the more money you make the more influence you have’. Money when thought of in this way alters thoughts negatively because money can’t curtail or warn you when your pursuit of it is harmful. That’s why human beings have redefined capitalism to allow more oppression in the wages of the people that actually create the wealth in this country.

Nicole: If people are conflicted about money and I’ll add religion to that column as well, most people would be stuck in an endless loop of uncertainty as to what purpose money serves in their lives.

Mother Sayer: That statement you just made is powerful. I never seriously thought that someone could understand the subject of money in philosophical terms through its manifestations of why money holds such power over people. I’ll throw this nugget into the discussion. Money doesn’t notice and cannot ever notice the unnoticed among us. The amount of money someone has obtained is not an indicator of their intelligence nor is it a reason for everyone with less money to defer to their opinions.

Nicole: You are so right. How much money they have just tells everybody how good they are at withholding it from the workers that actually created it for them. Point out to me one wealthy person with billions of dollars that cured any form of cancer. A new surgical technique that stops bleeding. A vaccine that cures aids, or here’s a good one how about a billionaire started a program that ended hunger decades ago.

Mother Sayer: Money doesn’t talk someone down from a crisis. Money can make it possible to hire mental health professionals that have the training to better address the needs of humanity. Money has the media pursuing only the flamboyant among us cloaked in naked facades. Every person that doesn’t critically think for themselves is under the spell of the money changers leaning back in chairs with their pot bellies escaping the confines of their clothes.

Nicole: You are funny, but right as well. I wouldn’t trade my good fortune for anything the world could offer. My mind has been altered and reverting back to erase what I know now I would rebel viciously against anything attempting to do that to me.

Mother Sayer: I know you never will. I wouldn’t believe that was possible even if it were Nicole.

——————-1^st Interlude———————–

(Mother suggests to Nicole that they get some lunch as their conversation is getting into the benignancy of her company as it shouldn’t be of note nor a rarity as a matter of practice. Kindness shouldn’t be a character trait needing an awards ceremony for people to seek after it. Enjoying the light that Nicole probably didn’t think was possible she could show to herself or the world. Being able to do something that makes a difference Nicole knows is often found to be a world changing endeavor when it is put to the test.

Mother knows this is the way her Father must have felt seeing her light up when he was the source of ‘power’ and ‘energy’ that she could feed from until she became one herself. This is what I wondered about. This feeling of looking at another human being and knowing that person knows they are doing something worthwhile.).

Mother Sayer: How’s the chicken salad Nicole? The aroma is powerful. Those Italian breadsticks look extremely soft and tasty. Are they?

Nicole: I only eat meals that consist of easily and quickly digestible foods doing the height of the workday. I don’t like to feel sluggish. It distracts me and I can’t or better wording I despise the feeling of being out of focus when I’m working.

Mother Sayer: Eating light and healthy with white meat protein certainly hits all the marks including replenishing your strength. Along those lines of strength of mind is where I want to continue our discussion. Why aren’t you jaded? As many jobs as you’ve had I’m sure the possibility for upward mobility was lined with stiff competition.

Nicole: Right there is why I’m not jaded. Believe it or not Mother. I’ve never had someone so clear and matter of fact with me. Ever. The way you talked to me scattered almost all demons in my mind. I may be saying this wrong, but I also believe in unseen forces of energy from strong willed people only wanting the best for you. All I did was whip out a string of my energy and once I connected I fed off of you as long as you’d let me.

Mother Sayer: So you believed me when I said I can only set the conditions for you to succeed. I can’t and won’t do it for you. All I can offer is a chance. Still I have to ask you. Why did you believe in what I had to offer you?

Nicole: A leap of faith. I just felt your words land on me. The first time in my life I actually believed what was being offered to me. We are from different races, but I can tell you I’ve never felt in all the White bosses a twang of truth. In you I observed how you talked to me. You actually laid out to me what you wanted to do with the ARC. That’s why my thoughts turned away so quickly from all the ‘dumbassidy’ I had to go through in the workforce.

Mother Sayer: That is a big part of your story you just told me. Do you know that? Not many people can withstand somebody examining their lives. I’ve always knew my worth from the time my Father took me everywhere with him. Teaching, admonishing, recognizing, spotting warning signs, developing every aspect of myself in order so that a whole person can ‘know what part my enemy sees as my weakness’.

Nicole: My goodness. That is it. ‘If I’m to see clearly my vision has to turn inward first’.

Mother Sayer: I hope you know I’m going to steal what you just said.

Nicole: It is true then what I’ve heard from my co-workers. It is only when you commune with like-minded people does growth occur.

Mother Sayer: Let me properly praise you Nicole. I know we’ve had a discussion that probably should occur more frequently. What I want you to know without a doubt is that the qualities you possess were inside you all along. I didn’t put those qualities of charity, hospitality, strength of will, humbleness and self-awareness there. I can only draw upon what you already have. No one can bestow upon anyone qualities that they do not possess.

Nicole: I didn’t fold under pressure huh?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. You didn’t fold under pressure. Listen to me now. That’s the problem we have in America. Pressure applied at the proper appointed times along the creative process serves to help people ‘realize’ their ‘personal’ talents within.

Nicole: God knows I’ve seen enough people installed in leadership positions if they were an ant couldn’t lead an army of ants to a picnic table scattered with morsels of food purposefully left there for the taking.

Mother Sayer: Right and that’s what they display as the example why companies can’t take chances on unproven commodities. Leaders that are judged on their own success is the main reason why new talent is often swiped away by a competitor.

Nicole: While America celebrates the ‘CEO’ everybody else is deemed untalented and expendable.

Mother Sayer: My you’re going to be running your own company soon with thoughts like that. Everybody lauding over the small successes when their companies have enormous possibilities in their ranks. My philosophy is to share with my ‘creators’ what they’ve developed. I know what side my ‘bread browns on’. It means I know what part of the bread cooks first. ‘The bottom part’.

Nicole: It means you know what cooks the bread and where it makes contact with the pan. You also got to have the ‘heat’ underneath the pan to cook it at the right temperature so it doesn’t get burned.

Mother Sayer: Do you have some Black in you because I’m beginning to feel you’re a ringer. How do you know so much about Black folks ‘lore’ and ‘old sayings’.

Nicole: Well I’ve mixed and mingled with different races all my life. It would be stupid for me to walk along the road and not notice when the ‘scenery’ changes.

Mother Sayer: Well said. It is my good fortune to have you on my team.

——————2^nd Interlude——————–

(Mother arrives home and Ntare greets her with warm pleasantries. The children are grown now so it doesn’t seem so noisy anymore. Maybe she should give serious thought to adopting children in need of a good home. She would certainly need a male and a female nanny. She would also look into establishing her purpose to raise them in the way she believes God has ordered her to do.

She would have to get that business off the ground quick. She knows just the people she needs to touch base with and clear it with. The elders that knew her Father.).

Mother Sayer: Ntare, I want to one day adopt children. What do you think of that?

Ntare Bolder: Well you’d first have to establish your support structure, or should I say your network of adults that have the same suitable mindset as you do. I’m sure the race of the children will not be an impediment.

Mother Sayer: Not at all. All children should be properly raised. Giving them the opportunity to know their worth and discover their purpose.

Ntare Bolder: I’m curious to know how then will you share your thoughts on America giving good and evil equal promotion. Children aren’t valued in this country like they should be. I’ve seen how their lives are devalued to fit whatever the situation at the moment is which in America usually means their death.

Mother Sayer: I have felt this conversation was long overdue. The fact that your wife will now have greater exposure to how Americans actually behave in this country. How disagreements are handled when the rivals are of different races. (Please sit down Mother motions to Ntare).

Ntare Bolder: The monuments to some of your history bothers me in spiritual ways. I have long held that Jesus Christ is an immutable figure. That the behavior of others when it does not affect another human being wrongfully should be left alone. Why do so many White people think that Confederate monuments have legitimate historical purposes on public lands?

Mother Sayer: Truth. They don’t. The Confederate States committed the most unforgiveable sin. They decided to secede from the America experiment because they didn’t want to give up their right to keep human beings under ‘bondage’ for all time.

Ntare Bolder: If that is true then why did the victors allow them to negotiate favorable terms for their defeat?

Mother Sayer: Truth. Because only White men could negotiate the peace which have us in the predicament America is in today. If Black people or rather all peoples’ races and genders were at the table then that Confederate inbred swine wouldn’t have been allowed to erect ‘Golden Calves’ and worship their idol Gods.

Ntare Bolder: The people that lost got to write some of the best rules?

Mother Sayer: Do you know what ‘Altars’ really are Ntare? An altar is first a focal point. They are simply a visible sign that churches use to call those needing salvation to approach and be content in its’ presence. An altar can also be an evil sign. As a map has locations marked on it so travelers can easily find the place they seek, altars can also be a conduit.

Ntare Bolder: A conduit? How is an altar a conduit? In Africa we have places of worship, and the ‘altar’ is a significant part in the practice of our belief in a supreme spiritual being.

Mother Sayer: Well Ntare in America the distortion of many things sacred has occurred for hundreds of years without any pushback. Now a ‘conduit’ in the sense of these erected monuments to losers are that they serve a ‘dual’ purpose. First these Confederate monuments show that ‘White Supremacy’ still has enormous power that’s given a wink and a nod by White people in general. Second the Confederate monuments serve as ‘the’ conduit that every ‘hateful’ person whose heart is filled with evil can replenish their evil soul at the base of its ‘altar’.

Ntare Bolder: In Africa when good people die the village mourns. When evil people die the village celebrates. There is now a chance for happiness to return if the spirit would allow it. There is a chance the village will suffer, and if it does the people know they played a role in the destruction of the good that should have prevented the evil from rising in the first place.

Mother Sayer: Accountability is important in every part of our lives. A true statement which sometimes turns into more like an axiom when ‘the people’ are faced with that very choice of good or evil. It’s like they are without that ability. ‘Like no one can tell whether anything is good or evil anymore’.

Ntare Bolder: Why? Aren’t human beings in this country capable of discerning what is ‘good or evil?’.

Mother Sayer: Being cynical is not my ‘stick’, but I know for certain a political party in this country has long ago abandoned that contrast. Republicans are all in for power no matter if that power has evil at the head. Democrats remind me of the ‘crossroads’ those White men must’ve stood on looking down the right path, but instead chose the less adversarial path to keep the country whole in their minds.

Ntare Bolder: Ah, their calculations were off by a few numbers weren’t they?

Mother Sayer: Yeah, their equation didn’t solve the problem and quite frankly it made it unsolvable up until this day.

Ntare Bolder: You have a solution? You, have a solution to a problem of hatred that has fed the evil heart of White Supremacy for centuries? Now you’re frightening me.

Mother Sayer: You know the old sayings about ‘going to the well too much your opponent starts to figure you out?’ Well I suggest we sour the ‘well water’. These White Supremacists want to keep their altars to their lost Gods on public lands supported with taxpayer funds. The rest of us and I mean people of good conscience and good will should be allowed to erect our own ‘altar’ that explains what every monument to their ‘lost cause’ means for the ‘well water of hatred to stop being drawn out’.

Ntare Bolder: You want to erect an information plaque next to these Confederate monuments to explain to the good people everywhere exactly what these ‘Golden Calves’ mean and why they are worshipped by the purveyors of hatred.

Mother Sayer: Yes it’s that simple. These White Supremacist wherever they hold their church in whatever City, State or Federal legislatures. We have to make them fight to keep their ‘symbols’ of hatred pure in the eyes of their followers.

Ntare Bolder: So that’s how you’re going to tell these White Supremacists to go to Hell?

Mother Sayer: Ntare let me pose a scenario to you. Spiritually now, do you believe there has been a second purge of angels that rebelled against God in Heaven?

Ntare Bolder: I don’t believe there has been, but how could I know something like that?

Mother Sayer: True. If we believe the Holy Bible is the best possible record of God accounting for his dealings with mankind, then the record reflects a one-time purge of those angels that sided with Satan against God.

Ntare Bolder: That is a statement I could attest to that the record is true as written.

Mother Sayer: I said that to be as simple as possible. What we have in America now with all the foolishness that still abounds here like ‘the heart of America resembles a cantankerous child’ shows what compromise with evil looks like. First saying America was founded as a ‘Christian’ nation is blasphemous. Second a ‘Christian’ nation doesn’t take two hundred and forty plus years and counting to figure out a grave affront against God was and still is being committed against his creation for shits and giggles. The power mad still can’t accept this one fact that when you commit a wrong it is a ‘wrong’ period!

Ntare Bolder: That is one of the biggest problems that nations struggle with. The crimes of their history. African nations haven’t fared any better. I wonder will human beings ever just tell the truth and leave it at that.

Mother Sayer: That’s the despair I’m talking about. I’m going to expose you to the origins of it in America. That crossroads I mentioned earlier is pointing in 2 different directions. The way of redemption or the wide way of compromise soaked in evil. Both directions aren’t the same. The way to compromise soaked in evil has an immaculately paved multi-lane road going in multiple directions full of twists and turns. The way of redemption has only one lane going in one direction.

Ntare Bolder: You can’t be serious? This is the same America that the Northern armies totally laid waste to the Confederate Army and frankly their ‘barrel chested’ cities. On top of all that the North acted as if they had the weaker hand, so they should’ve just dictated the terms and told them where to sign.

Mother Sayer: It was said that President Lincoln didn’t want to strip the South of all their ability to earn a living. Of course if you ask me I’d say fuck them. They wanted to enslave people for all time to build wealth for them. White men wanted the right to rape little Black girls, Black women, and mutilate Black men. The North didn’t make them comply with any meaningful terms of surrender.

Ntare Bolder: Can you make a stronger statement than that? I know your history and it’s horrific, but didn’t compromise give Black slaves the chance at freedom?

Mother Sayer: Do you know what an ‘Indian giver’ is?

Ntare Bolder: No.

Mother Sayer: We use it a lot in the Black community. More than just words defined in the dictionary. The true meaning extends beyond a gift taken back. To us it means that ‘you will never actually feel as if you have something and it’s truly yours when it’s given or promised to you’. That’s the way I feel in America right now. I don’t truly have rights or freedom because if somebody White kills me the ‘media’ in cahoots with the ‘police’ will instantly demonize me.

Ntare Bolder: No. Do you really feel that way? I mean you’re wealthy and you own a company. What about you would make somebody say you ‘didn’t have a right to go about your daily life while Black?’

Mother Sayer: You’re funny. I didn’t know you could use sarcasm so artfully. Listen Ntare, when you travel any road that doesn’t make it clear to defeated enemies of America foreign or domestic what you’ll have is what we have in America now. Taxpayer funded ‘graven images’ of defeated traitors in places of prominence across America.

Ntare Bolder: I’ve been stopped by the police before. I’ve felt the tension in the air during the interaction.

Mother Sayer: You know what is really funny about that and other examples of evil intent? Our government and any representatives of order act as if they aren’t responsible for stopping the decay in their ranks. Also the citizens that vote in America act as if they won’t be held accountable when their life is under review after death. That’s why I’m starting this program to explain every defeated representation of the Confederacy in this country.

Ntare Bolder: To what end?

Mother Sayer: To let everybody know that avoiding evil gives it strength. What’s that saying about the only thing for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing? It goes for women, the transgender community and all categories of human life. That last United States President was right. This carnage will end…

Epilogue:

(I can’t say how much it pains me to see a robust spirit slowly lose the energy to do the good that humankind needs done. It’s not okay to have depictions of traitors lining the streets that Black folks once struggled walking down in chains. I want to make clear something about contributing to the degradation of a country. Just as I continue to hold organizations responsible for not policing their ranks; voters are on notice of their responsibility as well. Republican voters in particular have a complex about party line voting. Do you know what the Republican Party has set in motion in America?

America was never great. What country starts right out of the gate in greatness? That myth is dispelled right now. America is on a journey to greatness. America will reach that journey only if she believes in the principles the majority of her citizens chose to uphold. Church goers let me tell you something. Do you really believe Jesus Christ needs an AR15 to protect himself? His Kingdom? If you do there is no hope for you.

White folks, tell your Confederate loving loser buddies they lost the Civil War. Tell them right now and close that delusional door forever. Black folks aren’t going back into slavery nor Black women and little Black girls back to rape property birth machines. There aren’t good people on both sides of this. If you believe that then say it to God on the day of your judgement. Don’t be a tough guy in the flesh and a wimp in the spirit. Remember White Christian Nationalism is what Jesus Christ agrees with right? My how much we have altered our thoughts that even what is sacred isn’t truly sacred anymore….).

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME RELIGION

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 5: A False Heart for Safety

Not this time fellers. I’m United States Army retired, and I know that even on the field of combat there is medical care for wounded prisoners of war. So why do I continually have to hear about United States police officers desecrating dead human bodies because they fear for their safety? Let me understand clearly so that I’m not calling out the policies of police departments falsely. Is it the policy of police departments to not render aid or attempt to save life even after self-defense is claimed? Secondly if no aid is required is it policy to handcuff a dead human body so the cowardly police officers can feel safe?

I just want to be clear here and not call police departments out for their stupidity and disdain for the humanity their duties call upon them. Professionalism isn’t a requirement for police officers am I hearing that correctly? Apologies, let me define ‘professionalism’ for those unsure of its meaning. ‘Professionalism’ means to uphold standards of decency, respect for life, and promote just order in the face of uncertainty, loss, chaos, or tragedy. A simple definition for the simple minded is being a professional isn’t contingent on me being treated professionally.

In my duties and responsibilities as a mental health professional I can’t react disrespectfully if vitriol is coming at me none stop. I’m the professional! Let that sink in although for some I know it won’t find an opening in their skull. So don’t excuse me when I call police policies what they are. The desecration and utter disdain for human life alive or in death. Let me ask all these so-called Christian Conservatives beating their boney chests about the rule of law. How did Guantanamo Bay in Cuba fill those prison cells? You say they were captured on the battlefield? How were they captured? Were they shot full of bullet holes and handcuffed before they were brought to Cuba?

Give me a break with all these cowards in police uniforms clacking their knees together peeing in their pants in fear of a dead body hurting them. Really? A little advice before your police commanders go on television again. At least make the effort to lie and say you searched a dead man after rendering aid resulted in no hope of bringing him back to life. Also say that my officers feared that he was demon possessed and the individual might do a Freddy Krueger on them. All of those police officers from their commanders to the rank and file are cowards bereft of even a miniscule code of honor. Pathetic.

It was good for the Paul and Silas, it was good for the Paul and the Silas, it was good for the Paul and the Silas, it’s good enough for me…

GROUND WATER SKY

Ground Water Sky

Issue 05: Infallible

Yes this issue of ‘Ground Water Sky’ will probably shatter the illusion many so-called Christians have of their so-called Church. This belief persists in spite of the ‘First Father’ and the ‘Son Jesus’ scattering throughout the Holy Bible their mistakes. A couple examples so we can get on with the purpose for this issue. King David was a man after God’s own heart, but he was found at fault when he slept with the wife of one of his soldiers. Jesus, the son of the ‘First Father’ chose an apostle that betrayed him. Shall we move on?

How did humankind come to believe that any living human being today or say for the last thousand years walked the Earth without error? The obvious apparent answer to the learned was for the attainment of preeminence. Leaving the simple fact that the establishment of order never gave license to believe that the governed needs to be kept under silenced subjection. Being governed is the way a society cares for itself. Where did the change occur that the governed needed to believe that their representatives must be more than Gods?

When the Apostles said that the church should be presented without spot or blemish it was meant to be an unobtainable goal. Ephesians 5:27 is an ambition that should be undertaken until the time that all those that believe a supreme spiritual being returns to reclaim the Earth as his kingdom. Now let me ask those that are wise enough to render me an answer. Is the ‘church’ as it is presented today an organization that is infallible? Focus your thoughts on the living ‘church’ of today and not on what may have existed in times past. If any of you answered in the affirmative you’re sadly mistaken.

Take the United States Secret Service for instance. Did they just recently make claims of events attributed to former President Donald Trump didn’t happen as claimed by a witness under oath in the very halls of our Federal Government? That’s correct! They actually gave proof that stupidity resides in all structures of human undertaking. Does the United States Secret Service really think that a wise human being would believe that the men and women that stand their ranks are infallible? They just proved they weren’t by trying to shore up a ridiculous notice of infallibility. How pathetic that attempt was and golly gee whiz I wish they would swear under oath that nothing ignorant happens in their organization. Ludicrous is too good a description for the Secret Service because it insults the word ‘ludicrous’ to attribute it to them.

See how my post from a time past about ‘How do you degrade an organization’ is still so relevant? Read it here on my website. How many of these ‘ass clowns’ who probably all look alike still bounce the same ‘bullshit’ off each other and truly believe that people that don’t look like them will fall for it? Now I’m exasperated to still have to cover the same ground when it comes to inflation and higher wages. I get it why the national media never correlates the two phenomena because they want the foolish in America to continuously believe nothing is connected. One more time which I’m sure won’t be the last time I cover this. Inflation and wages are connected.

Marching orders to all those able and disabled looking for a job. Don’t accept nothing less than $15 dollars an hour. Of course some industries are governed by different rules like the restaurant industry, but there shouldn’t be anyone making less than $15 dollars an hour in America period! Stop your ‘belly aching’ and keep cheering for all of us. What was happened in the past was the narrative was always slanted by corporate America. Yes I’m talking about the national media doing the bidding of corporate America. Hey ‘you got to say it because they paid it’. Now the scale is balancing itself instead of resting on the ground under some wide ass corporate buffoon!

As ground is to water and water is to sky let the record show that America’s labor force has awakened. Now this next point is just as critical, so I’ll make it brief because it’s not hard to understand. Elected officials at every level of government weren’t remotely considered by me to be perfect. Ascertain whether the person is reasonable and normal. If you’re a crackpot that thinks somehow a blowhard paper billionaire was a great U.S. President (Trump) then you will not be allowed to destroy this country.

I always chose candidates that show me who they are first, and then I determine whether they are good or evil and frankly I chose the good people. Good people have the conscience that torments them when they commit errors because they know someday somewhere to someone they must give account of themselves. Stop with this insanity believing there are ‘infallible’ human beings. There aren’t any dumbass!

MOTHER Se’MAY SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME SEASON 2

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 11: What Eventually Happens to any Entity that Holds Unchallenged Power? How was that Power acquired and then held?

Prologue:

(First things first about the cloak of power. It is just that a cloak. Something that can be put on for a short period of time and then either willingly disrobed or stripped from the arms of the one under its’ protection. Power fills the bearer with a false sense of invincibility. See the thing about power is to the unwise and unlearned it prevents the bearer from ever believing it could be loss. By loss I mean little things start to become unnoticeable. Things like the man or woman at the top begins to decline rigorous self-training (self care in modern terminology). Keeping sharp those skills that made it possible for you to rise to power and stay there begin to become tedious exercises since the attainable goal was reached.

When everyone is constantly lavishing praises upon you (telling you your shit doesn’t stink anymore) the tune starts to play on a loop in your head. This is the time that erosion begins. By erosion I mean the keen sense of smell dulls. The eyes can only see up close where before they could see things coming in the distance. There’s no longer crispness and certainty in your steps as you survey your kingdom. Then there’s the cracks in the walls that are only noticeable if you dusted the ‘furniture’ just once a week. It’s like the ‘dross’ that covers precious metals or things of value which results in the worth of the items being downgraded.

As things that are precious gain in value over time, many of the possessions we hold dear begin to lose our attention. This is an understanding that is realized after the things we hold precious has been obtained. What if we skipped the step because we trusted the person schooling us on how to retain riches? What then are we missing? Wouldn’t what we didn’t know be important to know? Maybe just maybe what we weren’t told is crucial to how we retain our possessions. Our human rights are more valuable than any precious jewel, stone or item of worth we could ever hope to keep in life or death.).

Mother Sayer: (The arrival time at the office today seems different in a sense that Mother feels questions floating in the air urgently asking for answers.). Good morning Sarah. The day is certainly filled with promise. What’s on your mind?

Sarah W. Certainty: It is a good day Mother, but it is also a day that I have to get some clarity. Have you been watching the news of late? What’s been going on with the state of politics in America?

Mother Sayer: I’ve kept up on current events through the newspapers. Women are under assault and the minds of the uninformed are being manipulated that’s for sure. I’d be happy to offer any clarification I can. Ask me.

Sarah W. Certainty: First things first is how do you control your people? They are fulfilling your wishes more or less which I find stunning. How are you doing it?

Mother Sayer: Sit down Sarah for me. I wouldn’t visualize Oakli, Mr. Poff, O’Woh, Joppa, Blinner, or Hekima under anyone’s control. Now I can’t believe the years you’ve spent with me hasn’t heightened your awareness.

Sarah W. Certainty: Of course I’m far more advanced in my thought process. Just seeing if you actually cared. Everyone you mentioned either has dormant unrefined talent or their abilities are being intentionally restrained for some reason. Maybe they’re jockeying for a better pole position before the race they want to truly run begins.

Mother Sayer: An excellent and thoughtful analysis of the talent we currently have employed at the ARC. That’s what I’m talking about. You’ve no need to ever hold back with me. I won’t ever ask you to downgrade your intelligence so I won’t feel inferior.

Sarah W. Certainty: Please tell me then why so many women present themselves as weak in the presence of men?

Mother Sayer: Sarah I’m going to give it to you deep. Nothing held back as I’ve come to conclude why women are known as an afterthought in this day and age. My reasoning will include a spiritual aspect as well so be ready to hear it. Okay. Now. It starts with men needing to destroy the equal nature of the woman in creation.

Sarah W. Certainty: You are talking about the woman being sourced from the man. The rib?

Mother Sayer: Yes that right, but in order for the woman to not be considered of value you have to distort her beginning. Make it seem like the ‘rib’ taken from the man was something the man didn’t ‘need’ anyway. Make it seem that the ‘rib’ was something that was inconsequential to the life of the man.

Sarah W. Certainty: Make it a joke or an afterthought like you said. Make the taking of it by God to form the woman like God put zero thought or assigned zero important to the ‘rib’.

Mother Sayer: Exactly! Men of evil motivations polluted the truth of why God pulled just one ‘rib’ from the man to form the woman. Sarah let me ask you this. Where was the location of the rib God took from the man?

Sarah W. Certainty: The ‘ribcage’ protects the vital organs of the body. There isn’t any specific mention of where along the ‘ribcage’ God took the ‘rib’ to form the woman.

Mother Sayer: Well put Sarah. The ‘rib’ symbolized that God took something from the man’s body that was vital to the proper functioning of the man. That’s why he called the woman a ‘help meet’. Now do you know the ‘ancient’ meaning of the word ‘help’?

Sarah W. Certainty: No but I do know the modern meaning of the word. It is ‘to offer assistance in completing a needed task’.

Mother Sayer: Huh. That definition doesn’t come close to doing the word any justice. The ‘ancient’ meaning of ‘help’ itself is to offer ‘equal effort or force to conquer and defeat any task and overcome any obstacle’. What do you think the word ‘meet’ means?

Sarah W. Certainty: Again I’m sure my answer for the definition of ‘meet’ in the modern sense is ‘to come into the presence of someone’.

Mother Sayer: The ‘ancient’ meaning of the word ‘meet’ is similar to part of its’ meaning in the modern sense. ‘Meet’ means ‘to arrive fully prepared to accomplish the righteous task laid out before you by God given assignment’.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m getting blown away here. Slow down for me. I’ve got to absorb what you just said because I’ve never thought of myself in such powerful terms. Are you saying no matter if choosing between a man or a woman, it is possible that either choice will produce equal outcomes of effort?

Mother Sayer: I’m saying exactly that. Don’t let your mind stray into the childish with examples of muscular strength. Men and women are different in many ways as internal organs prove that, but just because a hammer can break a rock quicker than water doesn’t mean the results are definably different. The water may take longer but it will destroy that rock just the same.

Sarah W. Certainty: I thought so. We’ve compared ourselves to the strengths of a man instead of equalizing the tasks according to the same abilities we have.

Mother Sayer: I knew you were just like me. That spirit of ‘why wisdom’ that flows through this world touches many minds incapable of bonding with it, but when ‘why wisdom’ finds that rare home it blossoms. Our minds nourish each other because we both are able to digest what it yearns to lay on us. Women aren’t inferior to men because we bear the young. Women have been assigned that role as men are assigned the role of breaking rocks and bearing heavier physical strength related burdens.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m sure men don’t want to carry babies nine months.

Mother Sayer: They don’t.

Sarah W. Certainty: Why then are women thought of as weak or come to believe we are weak if we were clearly created from a vital protective structure of the man’s body?

Mother Sayer: Oh my dear that’s not the Holy Grail that has led women to this place. I’ll save that revelation for a little later on in our discussion. Now once you destroy the sacred meaning of the words ‘help meet’ then you begin to condition women into internalizing the new meanings.

Sarah W. Certainty: Please. It can’t be that simple. All you have to do is get women to accept the inferior interpretation of ‘words’ and that’s all it takes?

Mother Sayer: Nice try. I’ll tell you the Holy Grail of defeating women soon. Not right now though because I want to get to the conditioning of women. Women and men are visual creatures that respond to what they feel are qualities about the opposite sex that offers certain assurances. Safety. Security. The ability to give a woman a home with all her needs met or the potential for them to be met. Women were figured out a long time ago.

Sarah W. Certainty: Wait a minute. My mother certainly didn’t care if my father could provide her a roof over her head. She flared out every fang, trait, and strength to my father so he wouldn’t confuse her with some babymaker looking for a warm place to lay her head. My mother came correct, and my father knew he had an equal right out of the gate.

Mother Sayer: Good. That’s good Sarah, but I’m talking about women allowing men to write them out of ‘existence’ in every sense of the word throughout history. Women didn’t ‘help’ write the United States Constitution. Women didn’t own property. Women couldn’t vote. Women couldn’t hold office. How easily did women make life for themselves by doing that?

Sarah W. Certainty: I wouldn’t call that making life easy for yourself when you don’t have a say in your life, or if you marry not having a say in the direction of your home.

Mother Sayer: Wise beyond your years. Sarah this has gone on for hundreds of years and still persists today. I’ll reveal the Holy Grail of subjection to you now Sarah. The ‘Holy Grail’ to keep women in a subservient role is to enlists their help in keeping them there!

Sarah W. Certainty: To turn women against each other?

Mother Sayer: No not turn on each other because that would stir some men who have relationships with women to get involved. No I mean get women to start talking about being subservient to men. Get women to let men make all the decisions in the home. Get women to discourage other women from working outside the home.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh I know that one. That’s a classic.

Mother Sayer: Absolutely it is. It doesn’t end there though. Get women to discourage women from holding public office. The media are full of dupes. Watch the news and tell me how many powerful women they highlight in prominent roles leading on the edge of growth, change, equality and opportunities for everyone?

Sarah W. Certainty: If you have one they all pick on her clothes, hair, makeup and who she’s with. Not that I watch television a lot, but I do see the female media heads not flattering the women they cover very much.

Mother Sayer: Ha. Ha. Ha. It’s not funny but it is. Men in power don’t have to sustain their destructive plan against women. Women do it for them now! They’ve achieved the Holy Grail of accomplishment. If you can get a group of people to act against their best interest you can add to their stupidity whenever you want because they are deep in the throes of it.

Sarah W. Certainty: Wow. It all started by destroying the meaning of two words.

Mother Sayer: Okay listen to me now. Power succeeds by compliance. Allowing White men to set the rules for everybody is what America has been living on for far too long. It is starting to show signs of weakening, but power also knows how to ‘plug them holes’ when it feels a breeze from a direction it wasn’t expecting.

Sarah W. Certainty: I did pay attention in K-12. I’ll say it for you about African American history. It is rift with examples of betrayal by former slaves and freed slaves that longed to return to the continent of Africa.

Mother Sayer: That’s right Sarah. Why invent some new technique when the old ones work just fine. Women are sadly mistaken and profoundly confused if we believe White men have our best interests at heart. Surely not all White men are entranced by power, but the ones holding it now sure are calling the plays that still work for them in this world.

Sarah W. Certainty: So we did this to ourselves? I can agree on some of the points we both made like women centering themselves solely around childbearing and motherhood. I dam sure disagree with any woman that thinks childbearing is the best representation of my life.

Mother Sayer: I would beat your ass if you thought that.

Sarah W. Certainty: The example I saw every day of my life wasn’t a woman shackled by weakness. I saw a spreading force capable of fulfilling many efforts no more or less than the spreading force my father presented. Both of them separately handled anything thrown at them, but together they each gave equal measure to every task laid out before them.

Mother Sayer: Exactly! Let me review so there isn’t any misinterpretation of what ‘help meet’ means. God willing if you believe spiritually from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible states that the ‘rib’ he took from the man was a part that protected the vital organs. He then took that vital ‘rib’ and made the woman.

To put what I’m saying in terms that even the people that fight themselves, harm themselves, and throw themselves to the ground in the hopes the truth will not reach their minds is simple. “Women are vital to every condition, purpose, task and essential need and are as equally able just as righteously as men are.”

Sarah W. Certainty: So women don’t have to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger to give equal effort.

Mother Sayer: Women don’t need to pump iron like Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman either.

Sarah W. Certainty: So that’s how it’s done. I’ve heard of ‘divide and conquer’, but it starts long before that.

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah. I wouldn’t claim what White men have done to many different people in America as genius by no meaning of the word. Sometimes all it takes to enlist people to participate in their own demise in a few simple steps. Once you get them believing it is to their benefit then you keep basting it just like roasting a chicken.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ll tell you something one of my multi-cultural friends told me that fits the stupidity of believing somebody has your best interests when they’ve shown you otherwise. She said, “When you let people slide, pretty soon they will be figure skating”.

Mother Sayer: That’s a good one. I’m going to have to put that one in my bank for future use. Now to address what you said about all of the people that contribute to the success of the ARC. They’ve bought into what I’m doing here Sarah. All companies out there aren’t looking for longevity. The majority of them are out there to make as much money as they can while paying the people working for them as little as they can.

Sarah W. Certainty: Money as you say isn’t what makes them stay.

Mother Sayer: The chance at accomplishing something does it for some people. Some people it’s working with people they enjoy being around. The rest of the people just want to punch in and fulfill a purpose which is absolutely critical as well. How I make it happen every day don’t ask me. The only thing I control is laying out the reasons why I wanted to bring the ARC into existence.

Sarah W. Certainty: You’ve done it very well. What was it you said your friend told you once about asking questions until you get an answer?

Mother Sayer: Mr. Victor said just because somebody couldn’t answer his question doesn’t mean he’s not going to eventually get his question answered.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well a lot of women got their question answered today. The question now is. How many more answers women are going to get before they shut down the questioner?

Mother Sayer: Good question Sarah. Good question.

Epilogue:

(Not all mysteries of life receive such a clear and emphatic response than what women have gotten on abortion rights. Abortion rights is one right of a package that is being emptied every time women go through the line. Talk about handing over a way into every right and precious freedom you possess. Women has been lulled into accepting a distorted version of themselves for hundreds of years. White men created that ‘caricature’ of the woman long before the tides of change swept righteously many of their evil to Hell.

Now the remnants of those White men have ensnared some Black, Brown and Hispanic men into their den of deception. Oh what they don’t know about how White men have perfected their craft long before letting them just sit on the lawn furniture. When you say just the lawn furniture are you implying that they will never sit at the White seat of power or sleep in the master bedroom? That’s exactly what I’m saying. Careful multi-cultural men that are now smiling at the table where a stalled ox is decorated in front of you. It is not so easy for White men to lay aside evil when they know no other way.

Power fills their bellies full and tastes so much better than your drooling mouths can imagine at the anticipation of such a feast. Remember this one thing when you come late to dinner. All the best seats at the table are already taken. I don’t mean to insult a well-known saying, but pulling up a lawn chair still doesn’t provide you a space to eat at the table. Women I’m going to say this again to make it crystal clear. You keep promoting the dilution of your power in the hopes of cornering the market as baby factories; I sure hope you have enough women for round the clock shifts with no breaks…).

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 4: Please Everybody Stop Using Christian to Describe ‘False Christians’

First let me start by saying the insurrectionists, every male, at the United States capital on January 6^th, 2020, all were Pastors or Deacons in their so-called churches. That goes for the males and the females in attendance. The buffoon in New Mexico saying he has a gut feeling the recent election there was fraudulent. He’s a focal point in his so-called church. The White guy harassing the off duty police officer and his son I’m sure he’s probably a so-called apostle in his so-called church. Are you sensing a pattern here?

Please stop your attempts at denigrating the Holy Father God because it’s not working with Christians that actually heed God’s teachings. The United States Constitution is not a divinely inspired document! Give me a break. Are you saying that God wanted Europeans to genocide Native Americans and enslave Africans? God wanted White men to rape little Black girls and claim it’s not a crime against humanity because slaves were their property? Are you saying God wanted White men to ride around communities of color like demons on wings of hellfire lynching Black men for shits and giggles?

For the sake of my sanity and the sanity of all people with common sense I ask that the media stop labeling former Vice-President Mike Pence a hero. Please stop. My Philosophy degree informs me that I can’t claim a triumph over an obstacle I’ve actively promoted and received benefits standing cooled by its shade. This Bible verse works even when evil gives evil a wink and a nod. Matthew 7:6…’Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.’

Republican politicians claiming piety is a contradiction in terms. No? For example, they claim they are for the sanctity of life, but in reality only until the baby parts the matrix. They claim they love school children, but they fight tooth and nail for killers to have unimpeded access to assault rifles. Republicans claim they are capitalists, but they stymie economic growth by fighting against the development of new technologies to protect existing ones. They claim to follow the teachings and walks of Jesus Christ, but they protect their version of King Herod (former President Donald Trump) with the ferocity of a pit bull.

Now let me make sure I don’t leave out these so-called Christians as the media likes to call them. Describing them as mindless dumbfounded inbred shit kickers is an insult to all I said at the start of this sentence. The supporters of former President Trump are just what they are. They are just like Secretary Hillary Clinton described them. They are deplorables. They’re not you say? Tell me this, why do former President Trump supporters believe threatening old ladies is okay? Why do they so easily break the law when he tells them to? The former President is activating in them what’s already there. Demons in Christian clothes is what they are.

Stop with all the nonsense about these people were duped. Duped into what? Revealing their true natures? How can you be duped into being who you are every day of your life? I’m 55 years old and I’ve encountered many evil people in my life from the United States Army to fast food to warehouse work to mental health care. None of them fooled me because I chose to accept them as they wanted to be known. (Side note: telling yourself the truth is also good self-care practice).

Evangelicals what a croc of horse shit! I’ll take an atheist any day over a so-called Christian. The very least I know they won’t be serving two masters. False Christian is the most accurate description for these so-called Christians spewing, committing and flaunting evil acts across this in-progress great country.

Go back to a time when America was great indeed is utter nonsense. America is currently and always has been striving for true greatness. My loyal readers and I know as with all power it only takes a few good women and men to keep it safe and in check. There are 4 watches (6 hour shifts) that must be stood to guard every day. None of us can fail at that duty. May God keep us all alert and able to withstand for the people of America.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 8: The Court Is Called to Order

Being made aware of a problem is one thing and having the power to solve it is entirely a different animal in and of itself. Until this flirtation with self-destruction is vanquished America must rely on the ‘COURTS’ to fully assume their role in our democracy. The legislative and executive branches at every level of government are running afoul of their duties. No one is putting them in check enough to curtail their wild swings toward legitimizing anarchy. That is why I sense that the country’s system of courts at every level must have people strong enough to rule on what is right and what is wrong! Their can’t be any doubt or whiff of partisanship favoring a political party in even a single ruling.

If I’m not mistaken the human founders of America with their inherent biases wrote an imperfect constitution that contained injustice as a matter of law. The United States Constitution was written by White men for White men only because they believed only White men would rule in America continuously long after they were dead and gone. Now in spite of that truth the document contained some brilliant unproven ideas. Three branches of government holding co-equal rule actually working as intended I got to say must have required a faith in humanity by those men counting on succeeding generations to maintain fidelity to their construct must’ve seemed as possible as indoor plumbing.

Now we see that in the Year of our Lord 2022 we must call for our courts to assume their role as the founders intended. If government officials fail to carry out their duties then citizens need to haul their asses into court and drop metaphorically an ‘aircraft carrier’ on their heads. I don’t care if former President Donald J. Trump cloned buffoons in his likeness from Bangor, Maine to Portland, Oregon and those idiots got elected. When anybody and I mean any elected official refuses to discharge their duties lawfully all citizens need to drop metaphorically ‘a ton of bricks’ on their asses!

The ‘COURTS’ at all levels across this great country must respond swiftly to even the most minute inkling of chaos at every level of government! America’s founding fathers wrote a document called the U.S. Constitution and it was not a perfect document. It contained injustice but it also contained the way forward to achieve justice. If the Executive and Legislative Branches of our systems of Government cannot achieve balance and rule lawfully then the ‘COURTS’ must rule! For the sake of us all let us hope the ‘JUDICIAL BRANCH’ is ready to rule because we all need them right now.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 7: America take that ‘Zip Tie’ off the Economy

Well I can tell what the networks, newspapers, digital media and audio offerings won’t let go of. Inflation. All my loyal readers that are nourished by the content I gladly share as quickly as I receive it know this about me already. Inflation must come in order to lock in higher wages. I’m not going to be upset that the above information outlets shove cameras and microphones in the faces of people that don’t understand the correlations between the two. I get that. The media outlets just want to stoke oh whatever man I don’t know. Is it fear, anxiety, doubt or just plain ole riling people up to blame everyone but themselves for their personal lack of money?

As far as ‘FUEL’ prices are an issue my conclusions are still the same. If you’re having problems paying high gas prices blame the Republicans that stalled and outright stopped ‘all’ significant progress on innovation in this country. Don’t put pressure on America’s automotive manufacturers because they got to compete worldwide. The Republicans promise there will come a day Ford, GM, and Chrysler will compete in ‘miles per gallon’ with Japan. ‘I bet a lot of Americans wish they had cars that got 50 miles to a gallon today huh?

Please! Can somebody tell me why in America when we get the economy roaring we want to clamp it down. Where is this urge to ‘zip tie’ the expansion of our economy coming from? Every time the American economy starts to in their words grow too fast ‘in someone’s opinion’ we want to shut it down. This time has to be different. Americans we have got to allow this time to play out! Tell your elected officials to just let the economy grow. Let’s see how big it becomes. Like I said those $15 an hour plus wages must be solidified into the economy. Higher wages coincide with higher prices.

Also innovation comes from higher prices. Citizens if you feel something could be done better than it currently is then take a shot at changing the game. I know those so-called electric cars sitting on those car lots are the fault of their manufacturers. Why do companies always stop at monetization of a product? Electric cars need to be unreliable is your business model? That is the most ludicrous selling theme I’ve seen in my life! Make electric vehicle ranges so that they have to be recharged after ‘2’ miles. Sounds stupid doesn’t it?

Charging stations dotting the highways is a good idea? So let me ask some questions. How many electric vehicles can be charged at once? How long does it take to fully charge? What if God forbid you have a line of electric vehicles all need charging then what? Where are you going to put them? Is developing a product to its’ viably sustainable conclusion not a business asset anymore or is the business model simply about making money? We had a saying when I served in the United States Army. ‘If you’re going to do something half-ass I’d rather you not do it at all’.

When did America start to celebrate everything wrong, bad, stupid, childish and unimaginative wrapped around zero creativity? I’m not the one to faint at all this hyped up crap on the open market today. It seems that that’s all the media covers these days. All the people who skipped ‘World History’ about the fall of great empires are the ones the media puts front and center.

Listen to me and hear me out. I work in mental health with a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and soon to have a Masters in Addiction Counseling. It took me years to deprogram years of false teachings from my dad. My father had 9 children and he was the only person in his household that was fully fed each and every day. We would complain of our hunger and he would say we weren’t hungry. If we complained further we received a beating which after awhile we actually thought that he was right in his total fidelity to his needs and his needs alone. Loyal readers think carefully on what is right and wrong because it is not subject to private interpretation.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. The truth is not a lie. I can’t believe I’m even saying something so simple. Oh by the way when my father died he was the skinniest man in the house. He weighed a good 300 pounds easily all his life, but on the day of his death he didn’t crack 100 pounds. It wasn’t anything any family member or his doctors did to him. He received what he gave. I’ll put it another way. Galatians 6:7 from the Authorized King James version of the Holy Bible…Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

All these people you see running around lying about everything and making money off the gullible among us; they’ll get what’s coming to them as well. Trust me I’ve seen it with my own eyes! Protect your mental health Americans and all my loyal readers worldwide. Don’t gamble your self-care on people who would not give you a bottle of water in the desert if they had two.

Vote!

COLORED PEOPLE

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 23: Child at Robb Elementary School: ‘My Teacher is Dead’

Citizen at Petroleum Pump: ‘Why Are Gas Prices so High?’

Innovation to America: ‘Why Do You Stop Me at the Point of Monetization?’

Charity must not seek undue attention, boast of its kindness nor cloak itself over the shoulders of whom it will never warm. Taken from the Authorized King James version Holy Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:12…’For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.’ Children know who will drop them down a fire pit. Children know who will leave them for the lions if given chase. Children know those that love them by their willingness to sacrifice whatever it takes to protect them. ‘My Teacher is Dead’ said one of the children that died in Uvalde, Texas.

Tell yourself so-called Christians by God’s word who loves children is it a Democrat or a Republican? That Bible verse above means that in the time it takes for all of us to see the life in the world clearly we must adjust our view so our eyes may see without distortion. If a politician keeps telling you that children are secondary to allowing anyone to have a gun and you agree with them, then God have mercy on your soul as well.

Now to Petroleum Prices in America. Inhabitants of America I need you to dry up those crocodile tears right now! No? Walk with me back 3 decades to 1990 when Congress was in the throes of bickering over car fuel efficiency standards. Democrats were fighting for people to get more miles to the gallon because when you have a forward looking mindset it tells you the good times may stop ‘rolling’. Sure gas prices were what $1.15 on the average in 1990. Back up people, I’m doing it again. For the record the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 set fuel standards for model year 1978. The goal was to reach an average of about 28 miles per gallon by the year 1985.

It is now 2022 and the average mile per gallon of fuel is drum roll please…oh what’s the use. It’s about 28 miles per gallon established by President Trump but you knew that didn’t you. I don’t care about anybody in America crying over gas prices when we have allowed the standard 28 miles a gallon for 37 going on 38 years now. Spare me please. Republicans have employed their playbook for decades. Talk shit about what the government isn’t able to do and when a crisis happens say ‘baby formula’ shortage they say, ‘see the government can’t do nothing right’. Americans fall for it every time. Restrict government agencies from any sort of meaningful regulations and turn around and blame the very government agencies for the screwup. Classic Republicanism!

‘Necessity is the Mother of Invention’ actually was a rewording of Plato’s famous phrase of ‘Our Need Will Be The Real Creator’. Tell me something if this is what has propelled America to lead in every category of invention; then why is it we stop at the point of monetization? For example, an electric vehicle is not something I’m going to fall over dead because it blew my mind. Nope. When you tell me I have to charge it again after 300 miles. I’m sorry but explain to me why Americans always have to recoup their investments so quickly? Why not ‘flesh’ out the idea to its best possible representation?

I have thought a lot about this mindset over the last few years and you know what I’ve come to realize? God needed me to gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding which of a truth those competencies do take time to reach fruition. This 55 year old version of me is the best representation of what I’ve always known I could become, and I’m totally not mad I had to wait for it! Trust me I get it. The media lauds praise and lends an ear to those with large bank accounts. I would’ve responded like President Biden did to Elon Musk the same by asking when is Elon Musk going to the moon?

This is what I’d say to President Biden if I was advising the White House. Everybody is turning to you to ‘flesh’ out answers. Pull out the record and give your department heads marching orders to explain the situation why nothing has changed, but untie my hands and I’ll make sure the whole of government brings every possible solution to bear upon the problems and see that they are applied. That’s what I would do. I wouldn’t say that’s not my problem, but I would say that our citizens are turning to their government and their government will not let them down.

Kinetic energy is energy in motion. The electric car industry must develop power standards that charges the vehicle as it is in motion. Inspections across the entire food industry will be stepped up. Whatever the Federal government can do with the laws on the books to protect voters will be followed vigorously. Gun sellers will be inspected for all the paperwork and if found lacking they will be closed until the paperwork abides by the law. Automobile manufacturers will be held accountable to the fuel standards set by law, or they will be slapped with fines. Yes, all gloves are off will be my mindset from here on out!

All department heads will be given authority to lead, delegate or get out of the way. Of course I’m not telling the Democrats to roll over for the Republicans at all. Keep metaphorically ‘knocking them off their feet’ because they obviously don’t want to see clearly ‘face to face’. Democrats just need to stand firm and believe in what you’re doing because saving children is always righteous!

Maybe there will come a day when no child has to see her teacher die in her classroom before her eyes as she says to herself ‘I love you Momma’ before she is murdered.

POLITICAL ASSIST

POLITICAL ASSIST

Preamble:

Issue 4: Do or Do Not!

Forgiveness before I begin. Times are changing and I must be on record demanding that children going about being children must have champions in their corner. Children shouldn’t be exposed to adult considerations. Children should not dread crossing the outgoing steps of their front porch. Parents should not say goodbye to their children, watch them go into school and hear from a total stranger that their child has been whisked away by angels into God’s heavenly glory. The cause of their child’s death being so unbearable that their soul wants to escape their body and cover them with love while denying their child’s death is real.

Forgive me further for saying this. If a Republican politician, so-called church friend, Republican neighbor and voter is okay with the innocent among us dying to keep them in power; then a Republican is a soul slayer! Check this out. I’m currently 4/5 the way through my Master’s in Addiction Counseling. Were some of the requirements to meet irritating to me, sure. The good money I’ve spent to achieve the sort of credentials to help even more people suffering mental illness and substance abuse disorders weighing on my ambitions? Sure they do. Do I think in the end it will be worth the good I will bring to the world? Dam skippy it will!

No one wants a layman telling them about their issues and offering solutions if they’ve never studied any mental health discipline. Why then do Republicans fight tooth and nail to remove all safeties from obtaining weapons with so much power that a bullet from those powerful weapons when they strike a child leaves that child unidentifiable by their parents? Everybody of age must obtain a permit or a license to operate a motor vehicle, but to buy a weapon that kills only requires money and a handshake.

I say again. If your spiritual leader is a Republican politician you’re hopelessly lost as I’m not talking to you no more than I’m talking to a doorknob. I’m speaking to American voters while there is time. What’s the old saying from Martin Niemoller, “Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me”. Oh they’re just killing the Black folks. Oh they’re just killing the Hispanic folks. Oh the news media keeps saying these dictators are ‘strong’ because they kill old women and old men walking with canes or sitting in wheelchairs. As long as they’re not killing White children, White women, and White men they’re okay.

Do you want the killings to continue? Do you want it to stop? It’s as simple as that. Frankly I don’t care if Republicans have told White people they are the ‘RULERS OF THE WHOLE WORLD’. Are you okay with the hatred they are promoting? Please (drag out that pleaseeee). If you think for a second you will escape judgment for supporting hatred you are sadly mistaken. Like we say in the Black neighborhood ‘You better ask somebody?’ There are only two choices and it’s been ‘two’ choices since God established his universe. You either move toward what’s right or be judged by what’s wrong.

I’m on record. Killing children is WRONG! If you vote to keep anybody in office that is okay with children blown apart by high velocity gunfire, then you will answer for it on the day of your judgment with your Republicans. From the Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible, Luke 17:2…’It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.’ Yes! You offend children when you allow them to be slaughtered!

As I’ve stated, ‘The Devil is not your Judge. You are not your Judge. God is your Judge.’ Think you’re not responsible for continuing this blasphemous outrage against humanity itself. I hope you accept your judgment when God hands it down. Master race huh? White power huh? The American Civil War was about States right huh? Tell yourself whatever you want to tell yourself. Keep saying it when God says he never knew you. All the skins and grins from your power mad buddies won’t matter then I promise you that. Laugh then.

Footnote:

Let me first apologize to the United States Army because it is not my intention to reveal secrets and combat tactics. That young man in Texas had more ammo than what the military calls a basic combat load. That’s all I will say about that. Second, when you hear the Republicans say, ‘teachers should be armed it is to dismiss will callous insignificance the lives of anybody harmed by their flooding weapons into our society’.

The military trains constantly with weapons and without weapons. Simulators, blanks, tactical exercises and proficiency standards must be met. Tell me when will teachers spend time for this? Are the Republicans saying we should have in school gun ranges? Teachers should have an M4 and ‘combat load’ strapped across their chest? What? Tell me what needs to happen Republicans? All you have Republicans is your jibber-jabber employed to soothe those citizens who never gave a dam about themselves or anyone else. All those people want is more human suffering. That’s the sick crowd the Republicans play to.

If I’m wrong show me evidence. Until then I’ll stand in front of children and take whatever blows the Republicans throw at me.

POLITICAL THEATER

Article 6: Tell Me What Do I Do Now Senator and Congressman?

Forgive me my loyal readers for what I have to do in this digital edition of Political Theater. Woefully inadequate, void of the smallest indication of human compassion, a bunker that drowns out the cry and tears of those loved and lost by senseless gun violence. The Republican Party didn’t get that way without the help of both the Right-Wing and the Left-Leaning Media powerhouses. The evidence is there in the questions they ask.

Are you serious? Asking a politician to comment on a school shooting is like buffalo hunting. I mean the smallest weapon isn’t going to miss such a massive target. Duh! So media, stop with the routine slamming cameras in the face of politicians while asking trifling get out of jail free questions! Seems to me a reasonable American could deduce that the media is ‘part of the problem’ just as much as politicians are the ‘cause of the problem’ with the flow of guns in America.

Here are some of the questions I would ask and feel free to join in. ‘So what do I do now Senator. Go home and wait for my son or daughter to brought to me in a body bag?’ ‘My home is quiet now Senator or Congressman. What is a good substitute for the laughter, joy, screaming, yelling my child blessed my home with every day?’ ‘What do I say to comfort my child who has just seen a friend grasp for their last breath as blood filled their collapsing lungs?’

‘Senator how do I restore the faith my sons and daughters had in their Mothers and Fathers ability to keep them safe in their innocence?’ ‘Senator how do I tell my child who is now afraid to leave the house that the world is not a bad place?’ ‘Senator tell me what to do now?’ ‘Senator tell me how my child can erase this trauma from their lives?’

Media. You all are part if not complicit in the creation of this perversion of life for America’s children. Don’t try that. Don’t try to act as if you are not in it for the money and money period! Please don’t do that. Just like you all (the MEDIA) thought it was funny hyping up ‘strongmen’ in your terminology because they go into nursing homes killing women. Strongmen going into nursing homes knocking out crippled bedridden old men. Slaughtering children as they follow their mothers while balling their eyes out. Oh, media, you have so much to reckon with. By the way, comparing yourselves to FOX NEWS doesn’t cleanse you of your sins. No no no.

Americans, you’re part of the problem. You elected Republicans at every level of government to give you this perversion of the ‘Great Society’. Keep asking your officials ‘kindergarten’ level questions and this ‘reality’ will continue. Ask them to explain ‘Why this is my new normal and how do I bring happiness and joy back into my home as your inability to address gun violence has created my new ‘reality’’.

Otherwise, just keep this ‘POLITICAL THEATER’ sanctioned. Oh, you didn’t know that’s what you were doing each time you elect people who are shielded from the consequences of their actions or should I say ‘inaction’. What Can I Do Indeed?

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 10: My Role Is…

Prologue:

(When am I going to stop running from every facet of my life? Huh? Tell me when will I embrace all the complex, necessary and ordered parts my training begs me to embrace. When will I accept the decree laid upon my name? Mother is struck or presently awash in knowledge after every session with the ARC Council. This time she feels like the information from multiple sessions held weeks apart have begun to flow in a cascade across her mind. The intent of it she can only imagine is to speed up her learning. Make her absorb the information internally at a faster rate. Mother feels a spiritual presence is unsatisfied with how things are going.

Who is she helping? Have those interactions resulted in tangible or measurable results that are needed to spread forth a better world. Mother long ago knew her presence was being looked over. Like a parent watching the children playing in the yard through the front window of the home. There would by necessity be a ‘charge’ placed on her life which she knew comes with the wisdom and knowledge she asked to usefully possess.

All of this wisdom and knowledge doesn’t come with an instruction manual or complete disclosure. She has long gotten past that truth. What Mother just recently has begun to understand is she has got to practice with some of this stuff like a team comprised of different position players. How all members of a team work together so their ‘roles’ externally and internally present a unified sense of purpose.

Mother now understands more of the old phrases like ‘A woman’s heart is full of secrets’. She releases her guilt and ignorance about this point immediately. Now I know what I must do she says. I have to take from the parts of myself I’m not using at that moment to have the energy needed to address current conditions. I can’t keep my mind on one thing or allow it to wander if the situation doesn’t call for it. I have to always remain adaptable. There’s that ‘military training’ rising to the surface again. Mother thinks ‘man if I could just recognize what I needed to know a little sooner’.

Mother quickly squashes such ‘would a should a could a’ thinking with joyful relief that she has unlocked some chains from her mind all by herself…).

Mother Sayer: What do I need to focus on today. (Mother sets her thoughts on what is the most pressing piece of business she will have to address to start off the week).

Sarah W. Certainty: I believe the mentoring business is starting to show a profit.

Mother Sayer: Ha Ha that’s funny Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: All jokes delivered I’d say I may have been wrong about a few of your people. Oakli and O’Woh are still projects for sure, but the way you came at them keeps me coming here daily.

Mother Sayer: Oh, why?

Sarah W. Certainty: When you said you weren’t a ‘Colonialist’ that struck my senses. I’ve never been at a company where the owner didn’t want to exploit the wage earners at the bottom of the ledger.

Mother Sayer: The balance sheet mentality is still the top priority at all companies I’m sure. What about growing the business? I believe this is the flaw in many companies how they look at growing or expanding their market.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know a little bit about expanding territory, but the way I’ve seen it done is probably not the way that is in your textbooks.

Mother Sayer: The way your father did it.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m not talking about the crap shown in the movies where killing counts for expanding your grip on the market. Markets that are already established are markets you don’t need to cultivate.

Mother Sayer: Persuading the people who control those markets to play ball with you made more sense than killing them right?

Sarah W. Certainty: I see you’ve had some upbringing around some dark corners in the world.

Mother Sayer: My father is Ableman Sayer.

Sarah W. Certainty: Just ‘checking on learning’ is how you say it in the Army right?

Mother Sayer: (Mother nods.). Go on you have my attention.

Sarah W. Certainty: Nowadays even the ‘underworld’ relies on market research. Can’t know if going into business with somebody is worth the effort if the organization being run is slipshod. Name is everything in that business because it can keep you alive in every way, or it can have you looking at the clock knowing time is not on your side.

Mother Sayer: Time in what you’re talking about is one of your guys giving you up to the cops. Keeping the exact details of the organization privy to a select few.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes right, but the most important thing is what you said a while ago. You’re not a ‘Colonialist’. In the underworld you have to pay your people well. That’s why a drug dealer stays in that so-called profession. He is making money he knows McDonald’s couldn’t come close to paying.

Mother Sayer: I know this. While elite entertainment media types love to demonize drug dealers they always report it in ways that keeps them looking shall I say ‘heroic’ by the way they characterize drug dealers.

Sarah W. Certainty: Are you looking to mentor someone in the drug trade now?

Mother Sayer: No, I’ve told myself the truth a long time ago concerning drug dealers and their buyers.

Sarah W. Certainty: Can’t help them all can you?

Mother Sayer: There is help for people struggling with substance use disorders. The facts are still such that if they are 18 and over they got to seek the help. Children are a different deal as parents can force them into treatment. No I don’t spend my time worrying about grown people and the decisions they have the right to make.

Sarah W. Certainty: Can I get an Amen sister?

Mother Sayer: Amen sister.

Sarah W. Certainty: Back to how my father did it was multifaceted I would say. He used many approaches for many different communities if you get my meaning.

Mother Sayer: Where Black communities would not allow a White Italian slinging on its’ street corners no more than were the opposite to happen.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good, so you identify necessarily the strongest physically amongst Black drug dealers to sell your products. You’d still want to have somebody capable of independent and rational thought.

Mother Sayer: Self-explanatory I’d suppose, but what about people with violent reps? I’m sure your father didn’t go into neighborhoods with say Russians and demand they work for him right?

Sarah W. Certainty: The Europeans required an approach they were familiar with. Violence. My father let them know that the difference between them was that he or his men wouldn’t be doing any of the dying. The Russians would be doing that, and he told them how it was going to go, and he let them decide.

Mother Sayer: Your father, Don Se’Stone, could play different roles depending on the who was in front of him sort of like ‘situational awareness’ the Army taught me.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s what you need to do more of. You can be tough with the ones here you think need it, but what face are you going to show to suppliers and the like?

Mother Sayer: My role should not be ‘static’ in the face of complex challenges you say? It should be kinetic?

Sarah W. Certainty: I going to say something you might not like. I know we discussed Laine Goone in the past after you got your daughter back. The reason you got played was because of that. You didn’t see him coming because you were unprepared. He smelled you up over the phone long before sizing you up in front of him.

Mother Sayer: You’re right Sarah that can’t happen again. That’s not the reason I’ve been reluctant to pull the trigger on new business alliances. It is for that reason I didn’t know the ‘lay of the land’ before I began traversing it. I’ve been putting in more time studying people from all walks of life.

Sarah W. Certainty: I must give it to you. Consistency is one of your strong points. Truth also as lying to yourself won’t score you any points on the field of business as we both know you’re playing to win.

Mother Sayer: Ain’t that the truth. Did your mother help him like give him some pointers? By the way how is Sparklett?

Sarah W. Certainty: She is fine as ever, and I do mean beautiful.

Mother Sayer: She has that alluring presence I show wish I had. I’d say that’s that Italian blood in her from the homeland.

Sarah W. Certainty: I do have beautiful parents which I’m also glad to be truly loved. Even more I appreciate the fact they poured a little of that wisdom, strength and presence in the room over my head.

Mother Sayer: Parents that are strong don’t transfer that strength in ways that most people think they could. The child has to open say a path to allow the parents’ energy a way in. Every child won’t get it Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: So you’re saying I’m old school? I’d say that’s correct. I looked at it more or less that way. I had two powerful forces that created me, and I wanted to get a line installed with the quickness so that I could feed from them until I’m fully charged.

Mother Sayer: Someday you knew you had to disconnect that direct line and sustain your own energy source. You. What drives who you are and would it have the capacity for self-sustainment. The energy within you to produce more energy to pursue new and exciting interests than just living day to day.

Sarah W. Certainty: What matters right?

Mother Sayer: I can’t just be thought of as a mother or be put in the category of businesswoman. That’s just not good enough for me. That’s why I push everybody to achieve greatness in every facet of their lives. My role will not be defined by other people. I will not be restricted in the things that I know I can do.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s why you put some of your people in authority just to see them struggle, fail, achieve what?

Mother Sayer: I thought for the longest my father was crazy. Crazy in my limited understanding at the time he started instructing me. Nothing was off limits for me. I of course was respectful. He corrected my leanings toward complacency when the pace of instruction was numbing. He kept me shocked and inspired enough to get me through rough patches.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like a child discovering sex for the first time.

Mother Sayer: Right. He blew through my shock and awe. One thing he taught me I still shake when I recall it is how grateful I am that he laid it before me. Sarah he said, “The Devil is not you judge. You are not your judge. God is your judge in all three manifestations of what is Holy”.

Sarah W. Certainty: Sort of like the Catholics use the priests to shield them from their actions.

Mother Sayer: Yes. I learned for myself many things beyond his teachings in the area of spirituality. Most of the people preaching things about God don’t have a clue what they’re saying or affirming. I’ve come across a lot of people taking as doctrine all what they hear in their so-called church settings.

Sarah W. Certainty: I see we’re going to have another one of those long mornings in conversation.

Mother Sayer: Are they starting to wane for you? No longer enjoyable?

Sarah W. Certainty: Absolutely not. It is time for motherly love and may I make the point I always feel more grounded afterwards. Our talks bring us closer together as family.

Mother Sayer: That is so true for me also.

Sarah W. Certainty: You were saying the error of some people taking as gospel the word of some low grade teachers.

Mother Sayer: I don’t get it Sarah. A young fool sitting alone on the internet consuming things totally destructive to their psych is one thing. The adults are the ones that are peculiar to me no matter how I turn over their blind loyalty to a cause. They keep coming back for more. It’s like a stupid soldier lighting a cigarette on a dark battlefield.

Sarah W. Certainty: Letting the enemy know their position and where to train their firepower. The heart of the one they’re following they care not to know. Some people totally ignore the lessons of tragedy. History shows that the majority of the dangers we face approaches us cloaked in darkness.

Mother Sayer: That is why I’ve sought out the tough topics for answers all my life. I was never treated with kid gloves by Mister Sayer. My father kept pouring it on. He taught on a level that was age appropriate, but once I got into my teen years he didn’t hold back anything. I handled it or I didn’t that’s what he said. So this is who I am and I’m not going to make myself smaller because somebody else can’t handle my strength.

Sarah W. Certainty: Come at me Bro?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. I live downrange and I will stay there. Let me tell you something else about me. I was around my father as he exposed me to many situations that would make a normal person seek shelter for their mind. I absorbed everything about those circumstances. You know what changed in me as a result?

Sarah W. Certainty: Tell me.

Mother Sayer: The blankets dropped from my head as I lay in bed at night. I know that look. Just listen. All human beings have thoughts pass their minds and we both know some of them look to torment us. Life is scary if you’re not learning the tools needed to defend yourself. I don’t like being at a disadvantage to anyone physically, spiritually or mentally!

Sarah W. Certainty: So you want to be prepared at all times. That’s why you want to be a mentor so much. Wait for a second. Have you ever started to cross a bridge and halfway across you doubted getting to the other end?

Mother Sayer: Yes of course. I have you with me now because of one of my failures. You are the best thing that came from dealing with that knucklehead Mister Goone.

Sarah W. Certainty: I heard my father and mother talking about you and your dad. This union has changed my life forever as well.

Mother Sayer: The Army contributed to much of my presence in ways of command and control. Dealing with people while part of a team. Putting everybody in the best position possible commensurate with their skill set. All the while not letting people escape the difficulties of their jobs because they on purpose shy away from increased levels of responsibility.

Sarah W. Certainty: I can surely testify to that. If you work here you won’t be hiding in a corner thinking you’ll go unnoticed.

Mother Sayer: Status check now Sarah. All the marbles in the bag. Life is always 90 plus percent from the neck up. I’m going to tell you something else from another source of wisdom and knowledge you know I turn to for clarity.

Sarah W. Certainty: Victor. You’re talking about Victor right?

Mother Sayer: Correct. In one of the best counseling he gave me was about religion. He asked me if I sat in a church and a so-called preacher was orating from the pulpit would I believe him or her word for word without question? I had to say yes because that’s what I was taught to do at the time.

Sarah W. Certainty: I suppose it should if you thought it helped you in some way. You were probably taught to accept it as helpful.

Mother Sayer: That’s where we all get it so wrong. Victor said if you’re going to be fed again metaphorically in the spirit which is unseen, then shouldn’t you receive something that you can keep down. In order words something your body could process so it could become part of you?

Sarah W. Certainty: So in other words you’re comparing a spiritual message to a good meal that is meant to stay down?

Mother Sayer: Honestly I blindly followed the message of a lot of preachers because I assumed they knew what they were talking about. I didn’t put two and two together until I started talking to Victor. If I couldn’t keep food down for whatever reason I know it’s coming back up or the toilet is about to have a visitor.

Sarah W. Certainty: You ignored the response to the mental health part of your body which started to show outwardly in trying to live or do good things off bad input. Feeling like you still had a full belly even though you just threw up the crap that wasn’t sitting well with you.

Mother Sayer: I am impressed Sarah. I see you’ve spent a lot of time contemplating the essence of things. The metaphysical I should say. It is often the invisible but divisible things that always seem to have a high rate of success against us. The good we decide to do gets polluted by our inability to tell what is good and evil.

Sarah W. Certainty: I do believe all of us start with say a basic understanding about life. Family, obedience, right and wrong are a few things we get early lessons on. Life starts to get serious before we reach adulthood for sure.

Mother Sayer: That’s where Victor feels strongly the worst lessons are learned. He suffered or should I say groped through many dark patches in his younger years.

Sarah W. Certainty: Parents, teachers and preachers weren’t up to the task for him am I right?

Mother Sayer: Amen Sister Victor would say, and not because he wishes to condemn their emptiness of knowledge to answer his many inquiries. He would condemn their apathy in acquiring the knowledge in order to answer his questions.

Sarah W. Certainty: Isn’t the common refrain given to why parents of his generation didn’t care to answer his questions was that ‘they were born in difficult times’?

Mother Sayer: Yeah. Momma or Daddy couldn’t read or write or whatever stupid reason he said they always gave him. The adults never failed to render an excuse why they couldn’t answer him. Everybody just seemed to accept the fact nobody had any answers.

Sarah W. Certainty: That never satisfied your friend did it?

Mother Sayer: That man is relentless in his quest to always render an answer. He says if a client comes to him he can very well tell in the first meeting where the problem lies. When tough questions never receive consumable answers the results are that mental injuries never receive the healing care they deserve.

Sarah W. Certainty: Being somebody that has consumable answers is very important to you I see. You know there are people that will choose to be ignorant. They like being ignorant because it causes disruption and will likely keep them in the spot they feel most comfortable.

Mother Sayer: Exactly. I’m in no way making a case to convince them otherwise. I do have an answer for them when they groan about their lives to me. That the life you are living is the one you want. Change it if it’s not.

Sarah W. Certainty: Some people have lives they had nothing to do in creating as far as the social status they enjoy. Some people live in poverty, and it is okay with them as well. Can they receive instruction from you?

Mother Sayer: Knowledge is always there for those that seek it. I’m going to include much of what we discussed today into television and movies from the media department. No I’m not worried if some will reject my philosophical moanings. I have a feeling there are a lot of people that are yearning for something that makes sense. Something they can keep down and hopefully can become a part of them.

———————1^st Interlude—————-

Sarah W. Certainty: All of what you said sounds incomplete. I know there is something else you want to say.

Mother Sayer: I would be disappointed in you if you didn’t catch that. Black folks remember the meaning of family. Family has clear mandates. Relationships mean you know the people you’re spending your life with. When they are good and when they aren’t so good.

Sarah W. Certainty: If family is family then the family should know when family members are struggling with something whether it be physically or mentally.

Mother Sayer: Self-care is what it’s called. It’s not called being a busy body or being noisy to be clear. Knowing yourself first is the only way you will then have the space to know someone else.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve seen it in my parents’ home. My mother knew who the man was that asked her to marry him. She was drawn to the only man that could match her energy. My parents found each other even in the old country with all their arranged marriages. I could tell you some stories my mother spiritly remembered confounding her father. We’ll save such entertainment for another time.

Mother Sayer: I can’t wait. Self-care can be likened unto a railing that follows along or traces the steps we take. It is something that stops the panic we feel when we lose our footing on our way to a fall. It’s there as we grab for something to break the fall.

Sarah W. Certainty: Because everyone has moments of real doubt about their ability to defend themselves mentally. The common issues of life receive an amplified boost when our defenses are barely holding their own.

Mother Sayer: Right. It sounds simple yet when our need to for instance maintain a certain standard of living or appearances in a specific profession; the chances of harm to our mental health increases without the corresponding defenses there to address the possible outcomes.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s what you were saying about Victor. He spent many years heeding the teachings of idiots until he finally accepted the truth. The ‘shit they were spewing from their mouths was being rejected by his body’. Sometimes coming out of ends at the same time.

Mother Sayer: It sounds impossible that a human being would allow themselves to be deceived for so long, but the conditions are ripe for abuse when that’s the system. Children have to taught by somebody. Fortunately as Victor did I hit a ‘crossroad’ which crystallized an opportunity for me to make a violent course correction.

Sarah W. Certainty: A slow right turn wasn’t going to happen huh? No hitting the brakes to avoid a rollover for you. No ma’am I’m going to take this corner. Either I better stay on the road or I’m going to flip this thing.

Mother Sayer: Precisely that Sarah. Everyone has facets of their lives. All of us have the capacity to change slowly or abruptly. The facets that have been hiding behind other parts of our lives are now getting shoved to the front. In America for far too long the mental facet of human nature was fiercely shunned. What do you think happens as a result?

Sarah W. Certainty: Metaphorically it’s like restarting an engine that was gleefully allowed to rust and corrode because it was seen as a drag on the fun side of human nature.

Mother Sayer: Careful Sarah, I will submit an application to UofL to have you awarded an honorary Doctorate in Philosophy. Philosophy 101 when a crucial facet of humanity is neglected the ruins are enormous as the destruction lies in the path of us all. Mental health isn’t something to play with.

Sarah W. Certainty: I need to hear this. Please keep going.

Mother Sayer: I’m about done. Have you ever noticed this about some of our troubling times? How odd it is that the heaviest struggles come in the dark of night. Like all our problems suddenly tap us on the shoulder after we’ve said our prayers at night.

Sarah W. Certainty: I have felt like that before.

Mother Sayer: That is the image I have in my head when I’m struck by those attacks to my mind. Visualize crossing a canyon in the dead of night on a rope bridge. Now the rope bridge symbolizes the defenses you’ve fortified to withstand the darkest of trials in your life. What if the rope bridge is constructed of dumbass shit you learned from dumbass idiots?

Sarah W. Certainty: I’d say you’re in ‘trouble’.

Mother Sayer: Let’s say you learned something from somebody that had just enough usefulness that it held up under your feet and you made it to the other side of that ‘void’. As you were just about to step on solid ground the bridge collapsed leaving you there clinging to the rock face five feet from the top. I would imagine you’d be kicking yourself for trusting in the advice given with assurances it would not fail you.

Sarah W. Certainty: Pissed wouldn’t be my response. I’d say I put myself here for consuming the shit coming out of people’s mouths who didn’t have a clue what they were talking about.

Mother Sayer: Maybe they knew what they were saying was cow dung. That is what I concluded long ago. In the end responsibility lies with the individual paying good time to hear them talk. I stop blaming other people for my decisions long ago. Not because I stopped listening to them. I put the ownage squarely back on me. I needed to hone my own senses to know who can assist my deliberations when I face the issues of life.

Sarah W. Certainty: I wouldn’t expect you to do no less.

Mother Sayer: Here are some of my techniques I use in those times when my state of mind is tipping precarious over a steep cliff. I repeat a two or three word phrase like ‘Jesus wept’ or ‘More than a conqueror’. For the moments when I feel I’m about to be defeated by my mental struggles I force one or two thoughts like that into my mind and replay it like a broken record.

Sarah W. Certainty: What more would you say to yourself?

Mother Sayer: I’d say ‘Se’May you cannot be defeated. No harm will come unto you. You are more than a conqueror’. I’ve faced down more demons in my life to count. For me as you know the stronger character trait I possess is the vow to never lie to myself. It’s fantasy to think I would prevail in each trial I face just because I say so. The strongest character trait I possess is knowing when to ask for ‘HELP’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Know thyself.

Mother Sayer: Proverbs 18:10…’The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe’. I’m not delusional. Do I possess everything I need to walk without fear on this Earth? No I do not. So a reasonable person should conclude that others know things they do not. The trick is finding the ones that possess the knowledge you need for all facets of your life.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s why you embrace your ‘Role’. However you are needed for yourself and others you will endeavor to accomplish it as it is required of you.

Mother Sayer: Experience has shown me don’t run from mental challenges if you know you must righteously face them. Run toward them. Closing the distance shortens the time needed to identify and solve the issue. Last thing I would say to anyone deep in mental battles. They don’t go away on their own.

A broken arm could heal itself, but there is no hiding the distortion effect.

Epilogue:

(Mother has had a day today. She knows the conversation she just had with Sarah she wanted to have with an adequate partner on her level. Sarah is good to her she thinks. I hope she knows when she calls me Mother she uplifts me. She is a good young woman. Tested in ways many women need to be as well. Women and men are steered away from conflict of the mind because there are not enough men and women willing to stand in the breach and learn tough knowledge.

Knowledge that can heal. Knowledge like that requires the student to be vulnerable. In no way am I saying it is possible for everyone that is looking to learn can learn at such levels. That’s why I am so thankful for my father and my friendship with Victor. Both of those men have suffered wrongfully and accepted those affronts and became stronger for them! Preachers. Ha, there should be a licensing course for that. No one should be allowed to spew crap from an altar and not be responsible for its’ effects.

Standing higher up and looking down gives an erroneous impression about their skills and abilities. I’m glad Victor doesn’t hold back with me. I can’t imagine living for decades with bad teachings. He has jokes for days though. The stuff he heard he said was coming out of both ends of his body and he still didn’t know to stop eating it. Vomiting and shitting at the same time I know I shouldn’t laugh but that couldn’t have been fun.

One other thing I took from his talks was that it’s not about respect for the person teaching. It is about respecting the lesson if it is a good one meant for making more good come from it. In Colossians 4:6…Let your speech alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

That is ‘My Role’ Mother says. That is my commitment to whatever role is required of me to assume in this world. I will become it no matter what it takes.)…

COLORED PEOPLE

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 22: Under Surveillance – Women?

I’m writing this under great mental restraint because marveling at what’s about to happen to women by men as these proposals will erase all stalking laws across the entire country. Republicans are now writing and passing laws that will put millions of women under the eye of not just State governments by the worst example of my species, man. These scumbags will now be right there next to the woman as she sits on the exam table with her legs wide open. These stalkers will probably be conducting the exam! You don’t believe me? Show me the text of these laws, and then tell me it’s not possible for these ‘men’ these stalkers to not be able to perform these medical procedures.

Stalkers will now have the ability to approve or disapprove birth control. Women now have to get all their healthcare approved by men. If men don’t have the time or it will intrude on males enjoying their lives, then women will have to wait until men have the time to pay attention to women’s healthcare. When men have the time for women period! Women will now have to catch men in a good mood. Doctors will now post signs outside their offices telling women ‘if you don’t have a signed consent from a man you will not be allowed to seek healthcare’.

In other words, if your stalker, your man or off and on man is unwilling to give a woman consent; then by law a woman will not be seen by a doctor! I’m writing this post under ‘COLORED PEOPLE’ because women have seen and tasted of the same struggle that colored people in America experienced for centuries. Women, just because you feel the time isn’t there for you to fight for your rights I strongly suggest sitting down and pull a history book from the shelf. Scrum quickly through the text and don’t just read the words or scan the pictures. Imagine what their lives meant. Imagine not being able to fully realize your purpose.

Women, imagine being seen only as a ‘sack of cells’ neatly joined for the sole purpose of procreation. Women, imagine not being seen as God said in Genesis 2:18…an help meet? Women, imagine for a moment if all women stopped diminishing their purpose? Let me be clear by what God meant in an ‘help meet’. God is saying in a union of man and woman they both are crucial and equal partners in their shared success! In the event a woman chooses not to be joined to a man then she is still a formidable force to be reckoned with. Get that foolishness out of your heads women on a man saying because he has the greater muscle mass his contribution is more important! Women I’m not saying you can play in the NFL. Let’s keep it real now.

Now single women or all women in a relationship or not have the same standing as a man in a relationship or not. Listen to me women. With or without a man you are powerful and equal in any setting a man as humanly possible. Women, I’m squarely in your corner, but I can’t do it all for you. Women must stop cutting each other off at the knees. Stop getting into inane arguments over the ideal representation of a woman. Let every woman chose for themselves but let the woman that desires a career be celebrated fully amongst you. In Ecclesiastes 4:12…’a threefold cord is not quickly broken’. Got to stick together women!

Women your ‘DAY OF RECKONING’ is upon you! If you give up the right to seek abortion then you give up all your rights. A cursory review of history will show you if my words aren’t persuasive enough. No, men cannot secure your rights. I’m sorry but that’s not the case and it never was. Colored people fought for their rights and demanded laws be written to prove them! Women, stop that. You know what I’m talking about. Stop believing that somebody else will make sure you’re protected.

Apologies again. Recent conflicts to include World War II, Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Afghanistan have the same truth immersed throughout them all. The people of those nations chose to rebel against tyranny. The outcomes in all of them were inevitable. The people of each land accepted their outcomes. Women you can say war is not happening, but when it comes to women’s rights I’d say you’re missing the big picture.

Women, you had better get suited and booted because when one stronghold falls all of your strongholds are weakened. Abortion today. Birth control tomorrow. Cancer treatment if it harms your ability to get pregnant denied. Participating in clinical studies if it harms your reproductive system women, you will be barred from participation. If a woman wants to travel and it is deemed too risky you will be restricted. Smoking will be outlawed for women. Consuming alcohol will be outlawed.

These ‘stalkers’ and these ‘so-called men’ sure are looking out for you aren’t they women? Keep saying well the right to abortion I’ll let them take it. They won’t seek to take any more of my rights. Will they? I’m sure they won’t. At least I’m hoping they don’t. Famous last words.

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 3: The ‘Acts’ Of Immoral Leaders Fall On Us All…

Sadly these writings demanded of me still affect me in a sense that the repetitive nature of them causes my emotional confidence in all humanity to dip sharply. Nonetheless I must fulfill the requirements set upon my role. Luke Chapter 23 starts the first revelations of immoral leadership, and how we all suffer under each decision when it is rendered. Pilate found no fault, blame, infraction, guilt, wrongdoing known, unknown or witnessed by anyone accusing Jesus. Pilate wanted to release him as was customary one person convinced of crime at the feast.

The people demanded Barabbas be released who had committed ‘sedition’ (that’s familiar these days) and murder. Stop right there. Returning to this point in a minute I will, but first I want to back up to Pontius Pilate sending Jesus to King Herod who was in Jerusalem at the same time. King Herod met Jesus and tried to speak with Jesus, but Jesus didn’t speak or answer King Herod one word. Funny thing about that meeting was Jesus knew King Herod slept with Herodias his brother Philip’s wife. John the Baptist forbid King Herod and told him to stop doing it for it was wrong.

While Jesus was still under arrest, modern term, Governor Pontius Pilate of Jerusalem met with King Herod and made friends. One leader was moral, and the other was not. I’ll let you so-called evangelical Christians figure out which one was moral. Frankly looking lately at President Trump I’ll bet good money so-called evangelical Christians would say King Herod was the moral man.

Now starting up again with humanity releasing Barabbas back into the world with his demonic acts in tow. By a show of hands is it important that human beings be certain, I mean those that have the power to judge, to be dam sure if the accused is guilty of a crime? That’s why some elected officials don’t have a problem with people undermining our country. Sedition anyone? That’s why some elected officials are flooding our streets with guns under the guise of gun rights. Murder anyone? That’s why some elected officials supported a former President that behaved with disdain toward women. Adultery anyone? It’s all a successful campaign pushed by Republicans for decades. Celebration anyone?

Yes, standing up to King Herod cost John the Baptist his head. The mob crucified Jesus thus fulfilling his duty to the Father. All these Jesus name throwers couldn’t care less about right and wrong. I have said it before on my site and I’ll say it forever. America was not founded on Christian principles. America was not founded on God. That’s an insult to all believers in a spiritual high being. Christians don’t enslave people and then put it in writing enslaved people are 3/5 of another race. Christians don’t rape little girls and women and explain it away as property rights. Christians don’t marry a woman and sleep with other women while saying they have respect for the institution of marriage.

I’ll tell you right now the only reason I believe America endures is by the prayers for mercy from spiritual leaders of all faiths in this country. Very few people in my beliefs are heard by God. These few believers are the only thing in my belief that God allows to give account of America. All these clowns standing up in so-called churches spewing hatred for centuries. Now they don’t want their history of hate to be known so everyone can see for themselves their legacies. Stop thinking that just because somebody goes to church God will spare us all. God is only listening to a very few souls and none of them belong to the so-called religious right. No? Well you didn’t read none of the words I’ve written before this sentence.

We know now that the people of this country can’t be trusted in choosing a leader of morals all the time. President Trump has thrown all that out the window. If a so-called evangelical Christian tells you Trump was or ever was a moral man you know that person worships at the ‘Church of Power’. 1 John 2:4 says when someone does not speak the truth he is a liar, and the truth was never in him. Sound familiar ‘EvanDevicals’?

That is why President Vladimir Putin of Russia will answer for his crime against the sovereignty of Ukrainian people and her leader President Zelensky. I’m not going to embarrass so-called evangelical Christians again by asking them to choose between Zelensky or Putin who is the moral leader. I already know they would fail that test.

Give me that ole time what?

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 6: Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

My life gets better with each purchase and usage of modern appliances and city services like water, electricity and garbage pickup serves me well. Every once in awhile though life gets interrupted by inconveniences. What do I mean by that? Right now my kitchen sink went kablooey. Thankfully I don’t get frustrated anymore when that happens. Tonight as I was running water from my bathtub into a big pot to heat on the stove and pour in the sink for dishwashing I lamented being inconvenienced. Then something else came across my mind. I wonder if this is what my ancestors thought about chugging water back from wells to cook, clean and wash themselves. Maybe they just did what they needed to do every day to live a decent life.

That was all it took for me to let go of my arrogance of why I’m being inconvenienced. Which reminded me that I should be thankful and not frustrated by this temporary disruption of my daily routine. I still have the ability which I never lost to replace my kitchen sink and return to my normal routine in a few days. When will women and men wake up and understand that if you believe life is a joke ‘you’ll always receive the PUNCH-LINE’.

For Republicans this is just the beginning. Citizens current and soon to be I can accept being inconvenienced by things created by human beings because I know some of them will break down. The fact that appliances need replacement or repair is part of the deal. I’m an older Black man born in Birmingham, Alabama taught everything about human rights and how one race of people, White people, made all the rules which still is a recipe for disaster. Having rights denied or flagrantly squandering them are one in the same. Can you say ‘VOTE’ now anyone?

Oh, this is a good saying. Republicans make poor people work and keep them off of welfare. Name the last 10 Federal tax cuts and then tell me who benefited the most from them the ‘Rich or the Poor’? Oh, I see some lightbulbs going off behind a lot of eyes. Abortion is just the beginning. Interracial marriage will be outlawed. Marriage equality will be struck down. There are challenges to the 14^th Amendment under way hint hint President Obama. The very nature of who can be a called a citizen will be challenged. Black people will again be 3/5 of a white man. It will be reinstated in the Constitution. I know this is radical, but I believe we’ll even have Republicans put up laws reclaiming lost income from purchased slaves that were suddenly freed.

So every voter in America can keep on ‘excusing by explaining’ the egregious nature of denying rights to women and men. I will begin my campaign today. Democrats are for the ‘FEAST’ and Republicans are for the ‘FAMINE’. Takers are never satisfied I’m telling you. I’ve come across a lot of them in my 55 years of life. Republicans are good at it because they have voters that excuse them. We have a saying in the Black community. ‘You slow you blow’ meaning ‘you either pay attention or you lose out’. Don’t whine and complain when every seat at the table is filled.

Looks like a lot of ‘whining and complaining’ going on in America right now. Too bad huh? You should’ve been paying more attention women. Women, you know you did this to yourself right? Keep voting for whomever you choose. I’m voting Democrats. I strongly suggest you do the same!

Oh, I’m sorry one more thing. I just can’t let this go without my two-cents worth. Now the United States Supreme Court denies rights because they weren’t written in the U.S. Constitution over 200 years ago? To take from the phrase a lot in the media are saying about ‘trigger laws’ snapping back into place denying abortion in many states. The United States then should ‘snap back’ to horses and buggies. Wood teeth and 40 year life expectancy. Here it is women I’m going to say it. Women should be treated as property again with zero rights and no control over their own bodies.

Oh sorry, Republicans already beat me to it.

Forgive me but I can’t finish without saying this. Women, why somebody got to tell you something is coming and it’s going to be bad for you to believe it? Women, why do you then get mad at the people (Democrats) that told you it was coming? Women, why everything bad has to become reality before you take action? Women, why do you think Republicans have your best interest at heart when they have shown time and time again they could give a rats’ ass less?

Why is why we’re where we are right now. Honestly I don’t feel sorry for a single woman right now. Again women have made this day happen, and I’m telling you this is only the beginning ladies. Why somebody got to holler at you to get you to listen? I’ve scolded women enough now I will offer solutions.

Figure out every candidate for office where they stand on women’s rights and spread the word through your circles. Don’t listen to what they say in the street. Look at their political party and how they’ve treated women as well. I don’t care if every joker running for office goes to your church put him or her through the ‘wringer’. Women I feel the ground giving way under your feet. Keep saying ‘aww it’s just a heavy truck passing on the road’. If you say so.

Mayday!

GROUND WATER SKY

Ground Water Sky

Issue 04: Leadership Rites

The rite for this issue will be defined as the passing of consumable knowledge with the desired result being to help the mentor and the discerner to judge dispassionately its impact. Let’s start by laying out a harsh truth. The leader doesn’t have to take the advice of an advisor. Also an advisor is a leader. How so you ask? Let’s talk about it.

An advisor first of all before even deciding to be a part of what’s right, I hope, must know for him or herself what must be elevated in this world. A guiding star one could say. An advisor must possess some principles that cannot be swayed by popular considerations. Some of these are diluting firm right and wrong situations. Excusing by explaining reasons for objectionable behavior. Denying long held spiritual beliefs when supporting unconscionable acts because of a relationship with the offending party or person. To quote Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry ‘A man has got to know his limitations’.

An advisor also must know when to be humble. When advice is given a leader can choose not to utilize it. Holy Bible Authorized King James Version in Proverbs 27:17…’Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend’. An advisor should not be so arrogant in his or her beliefs that the leader must take everything said to heart. Slow your role and understand something. Every hit of the hammer and every dunk in the water for to cool the iron for further refinement counts!

An advisor has to conclude that the leader must be elevated. The only way this happens is to lead in the role of advisor. An advisor is expected to have ideas on what should be happening and give those in counsel to the leader. Remember the advisor is there to help shape the legacy of the leader. Iron sharpens iron is shaping the leader’s composure. Sharpening the leaders grasp by deepening the leaders understanding. Presentation must align with dedication. Looking the part and saying the right words only gets a leader so far. Human beings know a fake when they see one. Also something else is crucial and necessary. Rebuke the leader for wrongs committed.

One more characteristic of an advisor worth his or her salt. An advisor cannot be about frustration when signs of failure clouds the purpose. Advisors stand in the breach. My definition of a breach is beyond what Webster’s defines. A breach in my definition of the word describes ‘a hole or opening that gives an opportunity for those forces aligned against the leader to bring forth a leader’s destruction’. Who plugs that hole advisors? Can you as an advisor hold off forces bent on destroying your leader?

Those who know my writings and my philosophy know what I’m about to say. Yes that’s correct. An advisor must always have contingencies upon contingencies. It is irrelevant your leader is moral and upright. Absolutely it is always a good thing to align yourself on the side of good rather than enjoying the pleasures of evil for a season. In any case this must remain true. An advisor must always prepare for the ‘BREACH!’

Alright advisor/leader it is okay to believe in what you think a leader should be. An advisor must also be always about the truth. Count the leaders’ loses and wins. Did you hear me? Everything is not cake and ice cream. Iron can’t be sharpened if you remove the ‘smith’. I read something somewhere about that the iron has to ‘be hammered’ to be forged. Oh well I could have that wrong.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

Issue 5: Two Sovereigns. Which Has The Moral Law?

I’m not going to school anyone in this post about Sun Tzu, The Art of War. If you don’t seek the knowledge yourself then understanding my words are of little importance to you. I’ve been led to write this post because of the ‘arrogance of ignorance’ that permeates the hearts of many people professing to know about ‘war’ in America. The one thing they seem to forget is the respect factor in conducting ‘war’.

Going right into how one assesses war and the chance in conducting it successfully. The wise general knows that he or she must acknowledge the capabilities, skills, talents, deployable power and strength of arms an adversary can put in the field. It is sound military doctrine throughout the eons of time. It is of ‘vital’ importance that the general knows what he or she is facing if war is the inevitable choice. The utter sorrow it will inflict on civilians and country. The general knows the horrors of war, so the calculations are many.

This is why the stupidity I hear in America about why did our generals overestimate the ability of Russia to conduct a successful war. Why? These so-called military observers which is what they are possess little to no knowledge of why our generals give respect to each and every army in the world. They’ll never understand why but I will give my answer anyway. Our generals respect standing armies formed or loosely outfitted because it assures the strength of our army.

It is not by weakness American Commanders extend respect to an adversary. It is an acknowledgment that giving proper credibility to a foe keeps our forces clear of arrogance. Arrogance by the definition appropriate here is a false belief in a soldiers’ heart that an enemy would lay his arms down at the first sight of our coming. That is a lie with defeat and death written all over it! Respect keeps the American soldier alive!

That is why America has won the wars she should have won. That is why Ukraine’s President will defeat the Russian President. Ukraine’s President has the Moral Law in defense of his lands. The Russian President can have his priests pray to every false god known and unknown day and night, but the truth to those that know how wars are conducted are assured of the outcome. Russia cannot defeat a Moral nation. Ukraine has the Moral Law. President Zelensky will prevail in the end because he must.

I’ve come to learn something very important in my life about spirituality. Fighting evil has never been a fair fight. Those souls fighting for good have either fought alone against many or fought with very few allies against evil. Therefore it is my conclusion that it takes a minimum of 7 souls to vanquish the evil of 1 soul. Ecclesiastes 9:18…Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Those of us who have served and fought for America know that the outcome of war is decided by a great deal more than who possess the most weapons. A Moral Leader with Moral Commanders are imbued with the greatest chance of victory.

Let me finish this post with a few more points. It pains me to listen to the talking heads in the media be critical of our military giving proper respect to the Russian military. It is tragic how these know-it-alls know everything but that fundamental point. Respect keeps soldiers alive! I must also cover the insult to the centuries of sound military doctrine as these talking heads speak of the respect America’s military gives as if it’s an indictment against our generals being beholden to the very wisdom that has kept American children safe. Have they even looked at the pictures of children in Ukraine walking behind their mothers balling their eyes out?

America’s generals should abandon their study and fidelity to the Art of War to satisfy some talking heads that haven’t a clue about the complexities of war. Wow. Just because we still assigned proper lethality to Russia’s military doesn’t make us responsible for the fact President Putin hollowed it out by greed, the indulgence of human pleasures and sheer stupidity.

I’ll take the judgments of our military leaders and our Moral President Biden supporting Ukraine’s Moral President Zelensky every time. That wicked man in Russia will fall one day. It won’t be because another man said so. God will say so at God’s appointed time.

Now all of you doubters in America about our military. Stop it! I know my words are most difficult for a so-called Christian to understand as God’s word is rarely taught here in America. Let me be clear. That shit eating grin on Vladimir Putin’s face will be wiped off one day. I hope every would be dictator gets to see it live!

GIVE THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 2: For It Is Written…

Tell me something I don’t know. Should the United States Constitution erase or should it hold as precedent what it intended for all Americans Native and Foreign when it was first written? Should we believe that the framers meant to classify ‘Colored People’ as 3/5 a White person? For it was written. Why was it necessary that the United States Constitution be amended to free slaves? For it was written. Slaves were the property of their owners and thus as property were not entitled to be thought of as actual human beings. For it was written. Being property the slave owners could do with their property what they pleased to include rape ‘property’ women. Rape ‘property’ little girls and rape crippled old women. Commit atrocities on ‘Colored’ men and boys to amuse themselves when there was no entertainment available to soothe their ‘Christian’ minds.

Now all of you that are wondering what’s the significance of writing it down. Let me tell you. Proverbs 3:3…Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart. Who among you actually believes that once something is written down that it can be amended from its’ true intent? When words of good or evil are written they stay on the heart (your mind for those ignorant of the distinction). Why do you think that White men in the Year of our Lord 2022 threw accusations of being soft on pedophiles at a Black woman judge? Take a wild guess with that question. What history did I just point out to you? It wasn’t ‘Colored’ men raping ‘Colored’ women and little girls for hundreds of years. What makes you think that is not passed down through generation after generation of White men? Some of these folks actually attend something they call a ‘church’ although I am on record disputing that claim.

Let’s talk about other things written into laws, policies, and workplace protocols. Take the police for example. For decades they have been granted every unjust wish when dealing with the public they claim to ‘serve’. Now they actually have the gall to object to their ‘boys’ the Republicans fervid push to put guns in any and everybody’s hands background checks be damned. Quoting a line from one of my favorite movies. In Redemption when ‘Crazy Joey Jones’ was confronted by the Nun about just delivering drugs and not touching them. She said, ‘Isabel touched the stuff. Maybe stuff you delivered. You don’t put those things together in your head!’

For it is written. The 2^nd Amendment gives Americans the right to bear arms. What makes you think that what was written wouldn’t be taken to the extreme! I do have one good wish for the police seeing that their buddies the Republicans have ‘flipped the script’ on them. Okay I can’t resist. That’s what the ‘Devil’ does. That’s all he does! You can’t dance with the Devil and actually believe he takes song requests. Do you? You’re cracking me. For the record I’ll offer you a way out ‘Mr. Police Officer’. How about joining with Democrats in securing some policy promises and actually treat everybody with dignity and respect.

I’m sure though the ‘Police’ are taking note of the Republicans and how they’re spiraling out of all reason into madness. The Police have been forced like all groups at some point over the course of what they want and how they’re going to get it. Now they finally see that a lopsided debate even one that silences the other team can never really stand as a true victory. It would be funny if it wasn’t a dangerous time for all citizens now that these ‘gun free’ laws are on the books.

For it is written. Matthew 4:4…every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. That’s not the complete verse of course, but the point of it is the spoken word is just as powerful as the written word. All the hatred Republican politicians write into law to tease up ‘White folks’ shambolic piety laced with delusional authority will keep that road to Hell wide as a 30 lane interstate highway. It must be easy to get so-called ‘Christians’ to hate people because the Republicans always give the people what they want. Oh by the way Matthew 7:14 directs you to the alternative.

Every time human beings write something down whether it be good or bad it stays in time. Time is not erased it passes. That old time religion is good enough for me. Why because it provides an escape for me today just as it did for the slaves. For it is written…

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 9: Rising Sayer

Prologue:

(It has been six months now since Mother gave the okay to her team leaders to request funding, decide where it must be spent, and produce professional results. Today she will be present for the sixth time with her leaders and ‘results’ are all that’s on her mind. Being mindful of how she is viewed as she absorbs every piece of why they feel they’ve created a good thing. Mother remembers her mission statement which anybody that wants to share in the success of The ARC must know by now. “The money is not the goal. Content is the goal. Content that drives the imagination. Content that will be stated in moral terms. Above everything else content that makes the person that consumes it to want more from where it came.”

Mother isn’t a fan of wasted time, but she knows her children must be allowed time to be children. Mother doesn’t believe in overdoing anything, so she has inserted educational time in between fun and games when the children have breaks from school. This retelling of the early days when the ARC was new and churning with energy is a warm memory of how success without the right leadership isn’t truly success at all. Mother embarked on a mission to test her style of leadership. This episode is a joy to share with everyone…).

Mother Sayer: (Justus and Doyenne are sleeping in and it’s well deserved. Their grades are meeting my expectations, so I won’t disturb their chance to sleep in this morning. I will wake them with a goodbye kiss and welcome to a new day of promise.). Good morning N’Tare. I’ll read a little while I eat this morning. Can I have today’s editions?

Ntare Bolder: Good morning Mother. I’ll have them brought in with breakfast. Nourishing the body, mind and soul does touch all the vessels of energy.

Mother Sayer: Good Ntare, I was contemplating how would I consume the reports from my leadership teams today. What I would hope to consistently convey to show them that their progress is what I value the most.

Ntare Bolder: I would say do what you’ve done here in your home. You’ve made me feel valued, respected and appreciated from the first day I’ve lived here. My wife tells me all the time how she never feels negative energy here.

Mother Sayer: How’s Eyamuar (pronounced ‘Eye am u ah’)?

Ntare Bolder: She is most grateful and thankful. She gets to run her daycare center in the way she always dreamed. She recruits mainly women a bit older that have seen the world but chose to care for and train up children. The ‘ROOT MOTHER DAYCARE’ stays at full capacity, but she wishes she could do more to help more children in Louisville.

Mother Sayer: (Mother motions Ntare to sit and talk to her about his wife’s plan to make it happen.). Give me some details on how she plans to make that happen.

Ntare Bolder: She wants to expand what she can do for the children. A full kitchen and dining area. A nutritionist and dietician not only for the children but also for their parents. She wants to start inviting the parents for lunch whatever day of the week is convenient. A sleeping area that is secure and monitored at all times. A location with plenty of parking that can be secured and well lit.

Mother Sayer: I can have Blinner start canvassing suitable locations for her if you like. If she needs legal help, insurance, and advertising help I got her.

Ntare Bolder: She will pay you back every penny.

Mother Sayer: I never said otherwise. Ntare listen, what Eyamuar is doing is crucial work and necessary work. A lot of our people, Black people, don’t get the backing or support that White people get when they express their dreams. That being said. I run a professional company and I interact with everyone that way. Just cause it’s a daycare doesn’t change the calculus.

Ntare Bolder: Already made that point clear to my wife. She knows what kind of woman you are. She has made it clear to me she wouldn’t dream of failing to meet your expectations.

——————1^st Interlude——————

(Wonder is a lost feeling kinda like a strong wind blowing at your back believing it will sweep you off your feet. Mother Sayer is suddenly awash in the potential of her people. She doesn’t want to jink her joy, but it has come upon her like a wave and the happiness is intoxicating. Mother allows herself to stay in this moment for as long as it will last. Arriving at the office today will be glorious…).

Mother Sayer: Sarah, good morning. What’s on tap for today?

Sarah W. Certainty: It is time for another check-in with the project leaders. Other than that I have some raw data from new ideas drawn up by plans and development. Which do you prefer to look at first?

Mother Sayer: Give me the update on the three projects. I’ll take a look at what plans and development have ideas about later.

Sarah W. Certainty: Very well then. (Sarah gives Mother the updates from the projects and catches a smile on Mother’s face as she goes into her office.).

Mother Sayer: (I’ve got to start with the ‘MODEL’ project first. My expectations are that Oakli Sands has done some soul searching if that’s possible considering her background. Her answers will determine how I proceed with her and this project.)… Tuaole Rilyzah how is everything?

Tuaole Rilyzah: Oh she’s ready for you today.

Mother Sayer: Really?

Tuaole Rilyzah: As you know I observe everything, and I know she’s been smarting from the whipping you gave her weeks ago. Something about Oakli has changed. The sort of change that acknowledges an error has been made and causes a course correction like fast.

Mother Sayer: What? She no longer feels her daddy’s money shields her from her mistakes?

Tuaole Rilyzah: I believe she has blown past that and now knows she has an elder in you. She knows money teaches you squat. I have a request though I would ask of you. Can I listen in on the conversation?

Mother Sayer: Of course you may. Come on, let’s get started.

Tuaole Rilyzah: (Tuaole motions for Mother to wait a minute while she goes in to verify Oakli is ready to speak with her.). Okay Mother she is ready.

Mother Sayer: Good. (Mother is directed to a seat close to the inner workings of the project and Oakli starts talking.).

Oakli Sands: I’ve relied heavily on my team for extensive outreach into the communities we’re looking to serve, and they’ve rewarded this project with some eagerly suitable candidates. Twelve candidates of which 5 are Black, 4 are Hispanic and 3 are Asian. Every candidate is in college studying for bachelor’s degrees.

Mother Sayer: Are their class loads agreeable to the time requirements of the project?

Oakli Sands: Yes Mother. All are in their 4^th year of college actively looking for available employment after graduation.

Mother Sayer: Are they entrepreneurs?

Oakli Sands: Each has ideas for products and services. Some are writers and some are entertainers. Some have durable products in mind. They understand that if they are offered a contract that everything they create and development will be confidential.

Mother Sayer: How does their energy feel to you?

Oakli Sands: None of them come from old money if that’s what you mean. The anticipation of what they can do and the possibilities they have envisioned I believe are palpable. I can feel their excitement at the chance they have in front of them.

Mother Sayer: That’s what I didn’t feel when I hired you. Listen to me now. You have energy. We all have energy, but your energy felt to me like it was uncorralled. It felt like you let it bleed away because you came from money.

Oakli Sands: My reason to be here wasn’t known to me yet. There are a lot of stairs I still haven’t climbed yet.

Mother Sayer: Uh huh. What do you mean?

Oakli Sands: What has my life meant to me. An endless stroll from party to party looking at cheek wide faces hating their very existence because they want to stay plugged into the spicket of the Sands. Mother I did not know. I’m sorry for putting on airs. I’m a pretender basking in the spill over of glory from somebody else’s’ achievement thinking I did it.

Mother Sayer: Surprising to be honest to hear this from you. Usually someone so deep into how money affects the behavior of those that have it is one thing but hearing someone speak of soul-searching and actually changing course is an anomaly. Are you saying you are open to being taught now?

Oakli Sands: My arrogance has probably lost me your respect forever, but I am ready to learn what you have to teach me.

Mother Sayer: Listen my child, there is nothing you could do to make me reject you short of you turning your back on me. There are mistakes and missteps in life which is a new realization for you. There are also ways to acknowledge those errors and learn not to pass over them again. There’s a saying we have in the Army when someone in command begins to think they are above the respect of their soldiers.

We say they believe ‘their shit don’t stank’. Certainly the thought pattern is a ‘complex’ that fortunately is easily rendered null and void by someone that outranks them when a ‘dime’ is dropped on their behavior. We report toxic leaders in the Army to higher headquarters.

Oakli Sands: I said some high and mighty things to you. How can you forget that?

Mother Sayer: By living by a code of honor. A code governs us. Well people that have decided to live a certain way regardless how they are treated. A code decides how you respond. Look simply stated there are good and bad things we all do in this world. Hopefully you learn from them and the people that live by a code of honor will only remember what is good about you.

Oakli Sands: Because they have been there where I still need to go?

Mother Sayer: Ah, you have discovered someone that will call you out on your B.S. That’s a good start. Remember it’s not the job of a true friend to monitor your behavior. It is your job to begin to live that respectable life you want. A life where you gain respect, admiration and confidence because of who you are and who you’re becoming.

Oakli Sands: Understood. I was told you would be the same person from the day we met and every day we interact. Shall I continue showing you our progress?

Mother Sayer: Please. (Mother listens as Oakli lays out waypoints she intends to meet. How she will monitor everything about them from their mental health to their private pursuits.).

Oakli Sands: When we start producing tangible results I will let you know. A thorough report will be generated from each program participant outlining their creation. What, where, who and how to market it to the targeted audience.

Mother Sayer: I have seen enough. Proceed and keep me informed. (With that Mother moves on to the next project update.).

——————2^nd Interlude—————–

(Mother can feel the energy building up behind the eyes and lips of Tuaole Rilyzah. Mother never lets her gaze linger over anyone let alone her valued staff which would let them know she would stop and entertain what they just witnessed. This time though Mother feels the need to pause and take the win while acknowledging some of the indicators Oakli threw out trying to relate to her.).

Mother Sayer: Ask me your questions Tuaole Rilyzah?

Tuaole Rilyzah: Oakli employed or used a lot of slang and code words I know you picked up on them. My question is why didn’t you tell her to not do that?

Mother Sayer: Discourage Oakli from her entry into growing and relating to somebody that don’t look like her? Why didn’t I stop her? Because Oakli must start somewhere if she wants to truly succeed in her role. It’s not just the project that’s important it’s what she needs to learn about life. Life as different people see it and live it.

Tuaole Rilyzah: So it wasn’t important to shoot her down on the attempt to relate to you?

Mother Sayer: Exactly. I don’t need to score more points in that game. I’ve won it already. I seek improvement in my people. Tuaole do you remember Oakli saying she has a lot of stairs to climb?

Tuaole Rilyzah: I do.

Mother Sayer: When she came to me she didn’t realize that fact yet. Truthfully she is standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at the number of rungs in front of her. I nor you or anybody can climb the stairs for her. It is something she has to do.

Tuaole Rilyzah: Like my mother told me. Chica I don’t need to learn how to be a woman. You do. The sooner I realized that I began to handle myself differently in all parts of my life.

Mother Sayer: (Clearly pleased with Tuaole recalling some of her upbringing and who provided it. Mother smiles and nods her approval.). Observe not only with your eyes Tuaole, but with every sense you have for that’s how you will receive your best instruction. Oakli no doubt has a long way to go before she fully understands how powerful she can become if she can inspire people from all walks of life to believe in her.

Tuaole Rilyzah: Understood Mother. I will escort you to O’Woh’s project now. (Tuaole, Mother and Sarah walk a short distance down the hall to his Business Acumen and Direction project. After short greetings, seating, and materials are handed out O’Woh starts his update.).

O’Woh E. Line: The clothing line will be the first product to come out of development. Now the business side is being set up now. Marketing and product placement is where we have stalled a little.

Mother Sayer: Oh, what’s the snag?

O’Woh E. Line: The disagreement is who we want to be seen wearing our clothing line. I want young Black and Hispanic girls while other members of the project want to span the entire spectrum.

Mother Sayer: Okay then so why do you disagree in marketing the clothing to all races, creeds, nationalities and so forth?

O’Woh E. Line: I believe that’s too ambitious right out the gate. It should be a phased approach to start, and then we can look at the sales numbers and gage the excitement about the clothing on social media before we fully commit to it.

Mother Sayer: Okay then. (Mother turns to the entire team and takes a poll.). BAD project, how many of you believe you should go for broke? (Mother takes the count which seems to include everybody on the team.). Alright. How many of you want to take it slow? (Mother counts O’Woh and two others.).

O’Woh E. Line: I still disagree, and I say as the leader of this team that we take it slow.

Mother Sayer: The objection is noted. I believe your team believes they have something special on their hands. If I were you I’d listen to their reasons for why they are sure about the clothing line.

O’Woh E. Line: I’m not going over this ground again with you Mother. I said it when you were here last time that it is my decision on how this project makes it’s moves.

Mother Sayer: May I remind you O’Woh of our side agreement. I made you special assistant to new team leader Joppa just so no discontinuity would cause the project to lose momentum and incur unnecessary costs.

O’Woh E. Line: I still believe I’m the best chance this project has to succeed.

Mother Sayer: I see then that the part of our talk to be humble was muted. At least you’re right about one thing enough time has been spent on this. Joppa is team leader, and his team wants to proceed full throttle. It’s his call and he made it. Get on the train because I believe it’s leaving the station or stay on the platform. Up to you.

(Mother signals to Joppa that he is satisfied. She pulls O’Woh to the side and asks for his decision. A few hem and hawing from O’Woh and Mother tells him she still thinks he can contribute, but only as a team member. Joppa is team leader, and he can work with him or return to ‘ACCOUNTS and ACQUISITIONS’. O’Woh turns and walks out. Mother moves on to her last stop.).

——————-3^rd Interlude——————–

(The entertainment media project has Mother anticipating this update. She has always required authenticity from herself and elicits it from all her people. This isn’t the first time Mother has thought about why the entertainment she sees on television is not a reflection of her daily lived experiences.

Moreover why has the entertainment industry promoted stories about Black people, Asian people, Hispanic people and many other races not developed or written by those races? How come Hollywood has been allowed to get away with it so long? Well Mother says to herself. Not for long. There will be genuine stories developed and written by members of those cultures and not by White people telling her who her people are. Also anybody else for that matter.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Mother, Hekima Beborne said she is ready when you walk through her door.

Mother Sayer: Let’s do it. (With that Mother, Tuaole and Sarah enter the project space of Hekima Beborne.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Hello Hekima, everyone is present now. You can begin at any time.

Hekima Beborne: I won’t contain my excitement, so I’ll jump right into it. Originality is the high prize that escapes most of what’s shown on several media platform. Most of the content being geared toward the worst emotions and impulses in humanity. The working name of the show surrounding Japanese culture is ‘Family and Purpose’. We’ll stick with that title and fill in an appropriate one later on down the line.

Mother Sayer: Something that captures the reason and meaning in as few words as possible?

Hekima Beborne: Not to tie our hands, but that is under consideration as we further develop the show. Now we think Japanese culture speaks volumes all its’ own. Our approach is to show how the structure of family life faithfully orders Japanese culture and convictions. We believe showing how respect and honor dutifully guides and propels Japan to the extraordinary success it has achieved for being such a small country.

Mother Sayer: Do you have the necessary stock of background writers needed for such a portrayal?

Hekima Beborne: We’re interviewing and recruiting the necessary talent.

Mother Sayer: Make sure you achieve a good mix of young and old across the ages.

Hekima Beborne: In order to allow it to come through on the small screen as authentic we sure are looking to bring on board the right people from the source.

Mother Sayer: So you’re coordinating with our Sacramento office to reach out across the Pacific to Japan?

Hekima Beborne: We’ve written 5 episodes as you’ve asked. The transcripts of them all we’ve recorded for you to listen when you have the time.

Mother Sayer: Excellent. (Mother knew she’d found a gem. She believes Hekima is becoming that leader of her team as she expected she would.).

Hekima Beborne: I need to interview some actors for a live taping. Do I have your permission to go ahead?

Mother Sayer: Yes yes. Like I said you can consult with Blinner, and she’ll give you some pointers on how to pick a property or filming location. Make sure you keep ‘MARKETING’ in the loop and ‘LEGAL’. I don’t want somebody claiming we poached an idea from them. Make sure to remind them every project and every detail about them are always company secrets.

Hekima Beborne: Thank you Mother. I will remind everyone of their obligations and commitments.

Mother Sayer: All I ask from you is that you maintain your consistency. Remember ‘Professionals keep climbing them stairs even when they think the top stair is within sight’.

Epilogue:

(Mother, Sarah take seats at Tuaole’s center position on the 3^rd floor and begin their discussion. The conversation is an enlightening one just the way Mother likes them.).

Mother Sayer: Was it worth your while to accompany us to each update Tuaole?

Tuaole Rilyzah: I’d certainly say so. I got what you did with Oakli, but I thought O’Woh checked out of the BAD project?

Mother Sayer: He did but he gives me one human project to work on. I’m not saying what I’m doing is akin to a woman thinking she could fix her boyfriend. I’m giving somebody another chance at doing life the let’s say better way. The moral way.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay Mother I know there’re many layers to a woman much like her clothing, but are you sure putting energy into O’Woh is a good use of your electrical cord?

Tuaole Rilyzah: I must agree with Sarah. Is he worth it?

Mother Sayer: I will tell you both why I’m giving him time to come around. The Army is responsible for a generous portion of how I view the world. When recruits first enter the Army they’re tested by what’s called ‘Basic Training’. This step is more crucial than it sounds because this is where recruits are put on a ‘tree’ metaphorically of course.

The Army has to know what its’ got and they will know that once they ‘shake the tree’.

Tuaole Rilyzah: Can I break in? Are you saying that to mean that the recruits have to be tested?

Mother Sayer: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Look, the military isn’t for everybody, and the Army knows that. I model my business on some of the same principles. I have to know the abilities of my people. The Army has to ‘shake the tree’ in training when it’s not real so that in ‘War’ they have soldiers that can fight and fight professionally.

Sarah W. Certainty: Being under stress will show you who has the ability or not right?

Mother Sayer: Sarah you are still on point. Tuaole it is the crucible of transformation. It’s like this. Achieving something worthwhile changes a person. Do you understand where I’m going with this?

Tuaole Rilyzah: Say I’m following you so far.

Mother Sayer: As we are given more responsibility would you believe that if you successfully complete those tasks that you are not the same person. You begin to feel more confident in yourself. You now have a record of achievement under your belt which in turn strengthens your resolve. Doubting yourself starts to fade because you’ve been given a task and you completed it.

Tuaole Rilyzah: And the recruits have to complete ‘Basic Training’ in order to stay in the Army?

Mother Sayer: That’s right! It has to be that way or the whole effort would be a waste. Just like a medical student in residency has to finish it in order to have the honor of being a ‘DOCTOR’.

Tuaole Rilyzah: A professional soldier is what the Army wants, and they have to ‘shake that tree’ to let the ones fall off that wouldn’t be able to handle the rigors a soldier has to face on a battlefield.

Mother Sayer: Thankfully the Army holds to that standard just as I must hold to my own. It doesn’t mean I can’t have a project that needs ‘reediting’. O’Woh suffers from the same fault as most people that see success from their efforts. Even if those efforts are from stealing or deceiving people they equate the results equally the same.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, I’m glad I’m allowed to be in your life.

Mother Sayer: Why you say that? Of course you are my daughter for all intent and purposes.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know although I still think it’s means something to say it from time to time.

Mother Sayer: It does, and I love you to.

Tuaole Rilyzah: Do you really care about your people?

Mother Sayer: What do you think Tuaole? Before you answer I want more than a yes or no.

Tuaole Rilyzah: I believe you want your people to be successful because you will become richer from the creations and inventions you’ll sell.

Mother Sayer: No wrong answer. Sarah, why do I want my people to be successful?

Sarah W. Certainty: Because you don’t look at people as expendable commodities bought and sold for a price. Your approach is to give them the dignity of actual achievement and sharing in the success of THE ARC INCORPORATED.

Mother Sayer: That’s why I’m in business Tuaole. My approach is not the model of ‘buying or selling’ labor. That’s the colonial approach. I’m not a slave master. Remember I said a large chunk of how I conduct myself is the fault of the Army. The Army teaches us that when our people are successful we’re more successful. That lesson speaking only for myself has burrowed its way into my brain and won’t release its claws.

Tuaole Rilyzah: Ha Ha. I understand now. I’m sorry I said that.

Mother Sayer: Don’t be. I’d prefer you speak to me about anything that’s bothering you and not hold back. Trust me I’m a professional and as I’ve said before ‘professionals should be able to have professional conversations’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother we have to go.

Mother Sayer: Appreciate the hospitality in how you’ve kept me on schedule Tuaole. If you need to talk you know where to find me. Good day now.

Issue 21: The Word is Out

Jermaine Stewart’s song ‘the word is out’ was a big hit for him in the late 1980’s. I recalled this song because it’s filled with deep bass, drums and various musical compilations that provides the heart and soul with an enjoyable experience. It seems I have to touch on two points in this Issue of Colored People. These White male clowns no sorry assclowns attempting to use Dr. Martin Luther King Juniors’ teaching to justify their White lived experience to speak credibly about what Colored People have suffered in America. The second point is about an overqualified Black female Federal judge’s credentials to sit on the United States Supreme Court.

First of all I have to say this that I understand and accept the fact that White privileged men will continue their ignorant assertions about something they obviously know nothing about. That assclown standing near the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, Alabama is believable only to the idiots that he made that blasphemous statement to. Let me try to explain to him although I know it’s futile that setting up a system of slavery and running it for more than 200 years doesn’t erase the legacy! Words on a piece of paper doesn’t change someone’s mind. Words on a piece of paper said Black folks were 3/5 a White person. Laws throughout this country said Black folks were property.

Systems to keep Black people separated from their fellow White citizens were agreed upon openly and complicitly with object denial. Do this White male assclown not know history? How White men brought their wives out to lynchings. How White males encouraged their children to stand there looking and sometimes participating in those mutilations of Black males. Yes Black men and little Black boys were lynched. Little Black girls and Black women raped by White male assclowns like those politicians. Gosh I’m glad I got a privileged White male assclown telling me I need to stop trying to understand how it all got established and codified into America’s very heart!

Please tell me these White male assclowns are just ill informed? Just me giving these idiots an honest way out. There are people that have committed crimes being gullible to a leader’s true intentions. Right! Are you serious in stating that Critical Race Theory shouldn’t be taught because the truth makes White male assclowns look bad? Some Black people may now ask how can these White male assclowns spew vile from their 200 plus year playbook of demonizing Colored people?

What’s the old saying? ‘People usually fall back on what they know’. A show of hands who believes that 200 plus years of teaching White folks how to hate, deny, murder, mutilate, maim, destroy, demonize, steal wealth from Colored folks, attend fake CHURCHES and lie about all of that not being evil? How the true ‘evil’ is the ‘victims’ seeking understanding and information about how it all persisted so long. How White male and female assclowns all of a sudden are in uproar because Critical Race Theory seeks the truth?

When you answer to that block of questions make sure you have your facts straight.

Now about the United States Supreme Court and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ascension to that bench. Senator Durbin made the right call in not defending Judge Jackson. Both of us know that the first has to demonstrate the mental fortitude to withstand such ludicrous attacks. Frankly I believe a 3^rd grader could’ve imagined and lob more wickedly purposeful questions and bellicose accusations than those Senate Republican assclowns. My conclusion is she actually got off easy would be my conclusion. Remember the definition of a professional. ‘A professional is a person that maintains control of situations by displaying a set of mastered skills that no one can shake or cause to crack the performance of under rigorous conditions.’

Yeah I’m sure Judge Jackson walked away saying to herself ‘is that all they got, I thought they were going to come at me with witty insight and studied queries about my record’. Matter of fact she reminded me of Sally Yates. The acting attorney general when President Trump took office in 2017. Remember her how she steely stared down those Republican assclowns in that congressional briefing. How not just her command of the law was on point but her silky smooth confidence in delivering it precisely was impressive. Ya’ll better ask somebody about who’s in front of you! Well when you’re an assclown Republican thinking your intelligence and skills are on the same level as your opponent you might forget the warning about going up against a smarter opponent. Just saying.

As Jermaine Stewart gave me a song I still love to this day. The word is out that ignorance is bliss, and it’s probably why a lot of privileged White folks don’t want to know the answer to the most glorious question. Why am I afraid of the truth?

Issue 03: Is Truth Self Evident?

Truth should be to use a basketball term a layup. Often the negative of it is pursued and practiced. A lie is the vulture that swoops down eager to get fat feeding off the rotting carrion of foolish nations. Take for instance this talk of what is a strongman in American Media. A strongman as defined by the media is ‘a man that kills old women, young mothers and their babies. A man that kills crippled old men that lean upon walking canes. Old men confined to wheelchairs. Old women put to flee as fire rains down upon them.’ This is how American media has defined strongmen for decades. See how speaking and viewing things with one voice through one lens exacerbates the problem?

Okay now most of the cleverness of my statement will be hauled off or expunged out of the minds of religious followers who should know better. Like all the delusional U.S. Senators and U.S. House of Representatives that believe the U.S. Constitution was written as a final document. All the idiots these folks convince that it was not designed to be amended deserve whatever fate has in store for them. People what’s on paper has to have rules applied to implement it. Standards to govern how it is applied in an even handed manner that makes sense to a reasonable person plucked out of the citizenry.

Are you really telling me that the wife of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice doesn’t tell her husband about what she’s been doing? How if he could vote a certain way and convince his colleagues to do the same? How we as citizens should trust that they hold America’s interests’ first? How as a husband and wife they are old enough to know better and we should trust that they do. Well that would be fine if the evidence lined up with that belief. Senator McConnell says the U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thomas and the entire Supreme Court should feel free to ignore this. Really? “Clumsy bullying” Senator McConnell said it which should sound familiar comrade. I would posit the Senator’s dismissal is on par with President Vladimir Putin’s dismissal of his Generals and Intelligence advisors. We all know how badly the war is going for Vladimir! You have to say ‘Vladimir’ with gusto like you’re announcing the ‘King’s’ arrival. Nobody with an ounce of sense in their head should believe or buy what those two men are selling, and I’ll tell you why. Proverbs 24:24-25…He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.

Follow me now. The historical record reeks of plundered kingdoms not looted by invaders. If you read history closely you’ll find that corrupt leaders destroyed their countries. Read your Bible instead of thumping it you’ll find many truths there. Read your history books deeper you’ll find the truth there. When leaders stop telling the truth that’s where it starts. Lulling their people with the boogeyman of ‘them’ ‘others’ ‘kooky religions’, and my personal favorite ‘those aren’t really human beings like you are’. Kinda chokes me up how long that stupid shit worked. All the while I drive through Kentucky and see trailer parks and upscale homes suffering from the same ignorance.

Celebrating wickedness and lauding praise upon ‘strongmen’ has been the go to ratings bonanza for years with the ‘lily white media’. Vladimir Putin is just following what America’s news media has been doing for years. Now they’re piling on Tucker Carlson and Fox News for doing the same. Talk about hypocrites! I remember how the media only showed Black people in chains and behaving badly. I want to stay on what the American news media would be doing if times were different.

“Oh look at Vladimir Putin. Man he got little children walking down the street crying their eyes out. Wonderful! That’s what I’m talking about. That’s the very epitome the very image of a strongman. He’s kicking the shit out of women and children. God, I’m gushing all over him right now. Look at all the misery he’s inflicting. All the death and destruction. Boy if I could kiss Vladimir right now I’d lick him all over. Look at Vladimir upon that jackass with his shirt off. Man, I think I’m about to faint. He’s so beautiful to gaze upon I can’t take it anymore!”

I don’t wanna hear it. The American news media has their day of reckoning coming. My three top priorities are God, family, country. I don’t have to worry about God because he’s at the top of the food chain. My family has committed wrongs and are currently serving penance. America is a country, and a country is governed by people. Public service is perverted right now, but not loss as we have the responsibility to keep people in power that serve the people. If America elects Republicans again with the Republicans showing they are anti-Bible, then America will get what it deserves. Lies are wicked Bible thumping Christians! It should be ‘self-evident’.

Article 5: Revisiting the ‘STRONGMAN’ Argument

Wouldn’t a ‘real’ strongman visit his troops on the frontline? Wouldn’t a ‘real’ strongman make sure the men fighting in his war have all the equipment they need to ‘vanquish’ his enemies? Wouldn’t a ‘real’ strongman not need village idiots to convince him he is a ‘GOD’ because he would know this himself after all everybody is kissing his ass right? Wouldn’t a ‘real’ strongman ride into battle as a ‘tank commander’? A ‘real’ strongman wouldn’t need to ride a ’jackass’ into battle. A ‘real’ strongman wouldn’t need a ‘fat orange haired buffoon from America’ or an old ‘fool’ from Belarus chiming in his ear about how they want to be just like ‘Vladimir Putin’ when they grow up.

Now let me get to a few observations or should I say ‘miscalculations’. Sun Tzu in ‘The Art of War’ said the General that makes the most calculations wins. Listen everybody, there will always be people to tell you what your ‘ignorant’ ass wants to hear. The choice is an individual choice to suffer judgment and condemnation. As I’ve always said and forever will that you can believe all the lies you want. Knock yourself out with lies. Be in a trance for them, but a faux Christian can pack all the lies and even carry them to judgment. I promise you that you and your baggage will take the express service to ‘HELL’.

Revelations 22:15…’For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie’. Yes all of us have told a lie before in our lives. That’s forgivable. What’s unforgivable is those that tell a lie and not confess it is a lie. Those that believe a lie when they know it is a lie are guilty. Those that follow my writings and stories know that I don’t have an ounce of solidarity with ‘EvanDevilcal Christians’ or faux Christians. The hypocrisy of those people who truthfully are mainly Republicans have kept evil going in America for hundreds of years. Why would Republican ‘EvanDevilcal Christians’ stop pushing ‘ignorant’ people to hate others for no good reason than to keep them in power?

Now we are informed that the wife of a United States Supreme Court Associate Justice was in favor of overturning a duly elected United States President? We are, American citizens are to blame for our mistrust in the highest court in the land? Like I said I wrote a post way back when I started pursuing my passion of writing and bringing real stories about Black people to life. How you can ‘degrade’ an organization, a business, a family, a legislative body, a court of law. One way is just like that. Have a spouse influence a judge to vote against something she favors.

Watch my words. In the days to come you will hear all about how professionally Justice Thomas approaches every case before him. How the law itself is his ultimate counsel. How passionately he holds his oath to be impartial. It won’t work on anybody using their senses to ‘discern both good and evil’. The dye is cast, and it has bonded with the paper (our hearts and minds). That’s how you degrade a nation. Justice Thomas was the lone dissenting vote on that one case. Don’t ask him to resign because he doesn’t have a minuscule of decency or honor in his bones.

In closing I think we have put to rest the insulting imagination of village idiots about what describes a strongman. Yeah a strongman is genius and savvy when he lines up his toy soldiers on a game board and a smaller boy comes along and kicks the shit out of them all over the place. Strongman indeed Republicans!

Issue 20: How Many Times Republicans Need to Tell You They Don’t See You?

The CROWN ACT ‘Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair’ literally was done to protect the rights of Black, Brown and Colored People to express their individuality in styling their own hair. Just getting the details out of the way first will allow us to tie all of it together in this issue. Meditate on this while you read this. How can another race tell a race they aren’t a member of how to conduct themselves? Hold that thought.

Let me explain to White Men and Women why the hair of Colored people is scripture. 1 Corinthians 11:15 ‘But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering’. ‘Hair is a glory’ Republicans. I know all of you will never understand that given that all of you voted against the ‘bill’ in the U.S. House of Representatives. It is typical for the God thumping Bible Party to profess with their mouths how holy they are when their hearts tell the truth.

————————-Stop reading right here as it’s about to get ugly————————–

White Republican men have wished and for the most part were successful in erasing everything about Black people. Republicans have to be vigilant in their historical effort to erase all that Black people knew from Africa, and what they remembered still needed to be monitored and stamped out when it shows itself. Hence 3/5 a White person. White and Black water fountains everywhere keeps ‘those’ people in line. No sitting at the lunch counter. Go to the back of the bus and if no seats are available a Black person must give up theirs to a White person. How many jellybeans in a jar to vote? Pay a poll tax to vote.

Redline communities to keep Black people from buying or renting homes or apartments. Seize lands for public works projects and pay Black owners a third less a White would get for the same land. Discrimination in hiring practices for both public and private jobs. Police neighborhoods in different ways when those needing help are Black or White. Police fear Black people more than they fear White people and this is why that mentality is dangerous. James 1:8 ‘A double minded man is unstable in all his ways’.

Imagine that by what authority White people believe they have the right to tell Black people how to style their hair? Are you still meditating? Let’s continue then with our efforts to reveal the overt ways White people brood and conspire to use authority I believe from Satan to oppress Black people. I mean they did and still go to their churches oblivious to all the atrocities committed in their names to keep White people in power. Why stop now? Republicans are good at oppression, so why stop what’s working?

White people don’t like the way Black people dress. White people don’t like the way Black people greet, mingle and interact with friends and family. They say, ‘Black people get too loud when they gather together’. Black people are gaining in wealth and that needs to be reined in before they taste more freedom than they should be allowed. White people should harass Black people when they go shopping by calling the police on them because the police will automatically believe Whites over Blacks. Black people renting houses need to have the police called on them because as a White person I get to say who looks suspicious or not.

Black people can’t tell me to follow the rules to leash my dog in public, so I’ll call the police and use the White woman damsel in distress with a ‘fear of a Black man’ enhancement to make them hurry. Why do Black people vote Republican when all I’ve clearly written has happened and will continue to happen to Black people. Republicans will always have the mentality that says everybody will conform, bend, cow tow, comply and obey my ideas of normality. I’m the White Republican man and you’re going to obey me, or I will break your will.

Republicans say, I’m going to deny you the honor of God by denying you the right to worship God as you please thus bomb Black churches. Sorry the times have changed. Now I’m going to come in and shoot up your members and defile your churches. Republicans say, I’m going to deny you the honor of God by denying you the right to be educated. Bomb your Historic Black Colleges and Universities.

That’s why I characterized White and Republican as the same because whether you knowingly or unknowingly White people benefit from the hatred the Republican Party has against Black people. That’s why most White people and all Republicans will never understand that whatever mandates you decide Black people should follow will never be accepted by us! What part of Black culture is acceptable to White people? White people don’t get to tell Black and Colored people how to conduct their lives!

Look don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to shatter hundreds of years of indoctrination why White people don’t understand why they’re in the wrong here. I’m writing this so those Black people and Colored people know that Republicans think very little of you. Republicans skin and grin facing you, but snarl and gnash their teeth at you behind your back. Do you get it now Republicans and White people? No matter how hard you try to you cannot erase what makes Black and Colored people unique. I won’t say stop trying because that would make me sound naïve because you’re not going to stop coming after us.

I will say this. Controlling the flow of information completely is no longer in your sole possession. I am a Black man, and I will always call it as it is. Watch me.

Preamble:

Issue 3: Delusion and Waste

Today was enlightening. Beholding someone in the throes of a delusion and not interrupting has always eluded me. Not this time though as I stood intensely listening with as much of a nonjudgmental face as I could. Truthfully it was as much of an expansion of my consciousness as I’ve read and heard about. A lie isn’t an excuse to immunize anyone from their responsibility to know the truth. Knowing all of this is nothing in and of itself, so what meaning does witnessing delusional behavior that I must conclude to keep my mind free of it?

Understanding the word of God as much as possible informs me that constantly seeking and consuming unrighteousness condemns a person to being judged incompatible to the truth. One, two, three or more instances of hearing, believing, and spreading lies isn’t enough. A person has to actively seek them out to spoil good order and decency. President Putin mistakenly believed that he could wield such a potent power as telling lies that the handling of lies carefully would somehow not touch his garments. Nothing else could explain his total and complete lack of calculus in starting a war with Ukraine.

The next printing of Webster’s Dictionary should have a picture of President Putin by the words ‘miscalculated’, ‘incompetence’, ‘paper tiger’, and ‘delusional’. What a foolish waste of lives, infrastructure and if he had a reputation a reputation in the eyes and minds of other authoritarians. Loose meaning of the word authoritarian I’m going for here to somehow explain all these ‘guys’ lack of real loyalty in the cronies eyeballing them. Really, let’s be real here. It’s not a wanna be strong man they’re sucking up too it’s what they can get from feigning admiration when what they really want to do is put a shiv between their shoulder blades.

Now let me be clear about this because it’s important. Do not attempt to pull someone out of their delusion. Do you understand me? I am with America no matter what and it’s not because I served in the Army. I’m with America because I believe America is the only thing keeping the world from plunging into chaos. Some of you I’m sure didn’t understand the above statement, so I’ll say it another way. America is the world’s best shot bar none! Yes as a Black man I say that as a child of God. America’s strength is borne of a totality of her history which includes her atrocities, reconciliations and her triumphs.

Let your fellow Americans disparage her such as believing claims of biolabs in Ukraine creating toxins to kill us. Believing Ukraine’s Jewish President is a Nazi. Fox News allowing filth spued about President Biden but love and Godspeed for President Putin. When you hear things that seem so outrageous about America ask for proof. Where can I find that and what and where is it coming from. Furthermore, I ask that all media outlets stop lying about Russian citizens being told lies as if they can’t discover the truth for themselves. This isn’t the Era of the Pony Express. This is 2022! Stop it! Russians are capable of finding the truth if they seek it. Russia isn’t North Korea or China and in both those countries you can still find the truth.

The truth is ordained of God. Last time I checked the creature isn’t greater than the Creator! The rest of you Americans that are free it’s time to pick a side. America and her potential (hint she hasn’t fully reached it yet) doesn’t cheer on thugs that have to be bribed to secure their support. Also remember that that type of chain of command is ‘shaky’ and not very trustworthy. Look at that another variation of ‘truth’. In closing I have one more thing. Invading other countries when said country don’t like the leader that’s trying to do it kinda always fails. Just a thought.

Issue 19: If Only I Could Behold Competent Police Officers

The arresting officer behind Director Ryan Coogler that put him in handcuffs should be fired immediately. The teller that Black woman should be training all of Bank of America tellers because her incompetence should spread throughout their organization. That teller had the nerve to say ‘good job guys’ to the police officers? Oh man I love it. She should be employee of the century! Why you ask? Let me tell you how she contradicted her entire story to fit the stupidity of her actions. She said the customer gave her his ‘id’. She said it was a ‘California id’. The customer kept stating to her to ‘look at the note’. Why then did she say to the ‘security guards’ that showed up in Atlanta Police uniforms that ‘her stomach was turning’?

That ‘security guard’ sergeant in Atlanta Police garb must be part of the most unprofessional crop of supervisors I have ever seen masquerading as examples of leadership. It would be an injustice and a disgrace to call these ‘police officers’ KLONDIKE KOPS because it would insult their moniker. These ‘security guard’ Atlanta Police people failed in every way possible to show competence and a skill set that seems to be attributed to ‘law enforcement personnel’. That’s why as a Black man I call it like I see it no matter the race, color or creed of this type of buffoonery.

Stay with me because I work in mental health, and I can tell you it is not for the faint of heart. I respond to patients in crisis all the time and I don’t go hands on immediately. I practice a professional set of skills! I arrive on scene and gather information with my eyes, ears, nose and brain. Brain, boy that is something I don’t see being used a lot in police work. Read the first paragraph and tell me when you would stop that teller to ask her this question. He gave you his ID?

That teller isn’t even privy to the security protocols to enter that area of the bank where she works! Mr. Coogler said as much “I had to use my card to get back there”. He hands her the note and his ID. He lays his phone on the counter. His demeanor doesn’t flash a hint of nervousness. He continues to speak in a clear and calm voice rising a little when that ‘security guard’ Atlanta police idiot pulled his gun out. Side point, bank robbery is a ‘fast’ crime. If Mr. Coogler was robbing the bank why would he bring in his phone? Why was he ‘not’ wearing gloves? The most damming point. Why did he use his access card which leaves a world of information on the digital ‘grid’?

That ‘sergeant’ if I must use the term is demeaning to every professional that wears that well known mantle of leadership. He told Mr. Coogler the ‘seriousness of the call’ mandated that Mr. Coogler could not be extended some fucking professionalism! ‘No benefit of the doubt’ that buffoon told Mr. Coogler. All those ‘cops’ and forgive me for describing them as such. It should insult all the ‘cops’ doing their jobs with professionalism. All of them arrived at the bank to no sounds of disturbance or indicators of danger. No customers running out screaming. No customers aware that another customers was being serviced by what it seemed like a ‘teller’ playing junior detective.

Oh, I haven’t forgotten the branch manager. He should be fired immediately if he still works there. That guy or gal has zero judgment and zero accountability. When I held the rank of Sergeant in the United States Army I understood one thing. I never failed to give the truth to my superiors! I would accept nothing less flowing in my direction. I spoke up against my First Sergeant having sex with the females in the Unit and he was married. It cost me the chance to make Staff Sergeant. I still maintained my professionalism and my honor. That branch manager is responsible for that incompetent show of customer service and human decency to Mr. Coogler.

So to all the ‘Demon Christians’ always siding with the stupidity of this world because of title, position, race, creed, job or color. Know this, you and I will see the maker one day. Won’t be any praise of incompetence standing before the First Father. I wish I could laugh at Bank of America, but I can’t. A man could have lost his life just for providing his account information. Think about that. I don’t even work in a bank, and I would’ve read his note entirely and took the time to look at his ID to greet and acknowledge the customer with respect.

I am thanked by patients all the time at my job for my professionalism. Know how many times they’ve called me out my name. Threatened me with physical violence. Lied on me to my supervisors. I learned this one thing in church. When it is all said and done all you will have is your name. I have never forgotten that, and I never will. So all you folks out there happily basking in the organizations, companies, households and gathering shielding you from your wrongs. Have at it. They can’t discharge you from the last and final judgement.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

The ones who hold the power tell the story. The quote went something like that. Make peace with that truth and let’s move on to how power can wreck a weak mind. When the King eats from the same soil and drinks from the same pond how then did humankind conclude that denying these basic truths could unify us all? How the realization of what power brings to those that possess it can influence human being that are weak of spirit. When their spirit is enticed to commit acts of evil when those in power that are evil hearted require it of them. The Creator gifted his diverse creation carefully. The care he intended has been perverted by one race intent on maintaining their power instead of sharing it as we share the land, water and the air. America is that experiment. May I say it has never reached its full potential because she (Motherly pronoun) has never loved all her children.

Issue 4: The Sole Breadwinner?

Okay I think that picture has told a thousand words of truth. No more should anyone in the world be told that a strong man running a failed state into the ashes of history must be admired. Take history for example as it is as the scripture has saith “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set” Proverbs 22 vs. 28 from the Authorized King James Holy Bible. The symbols that were set were to remind the people of what life altering event happened in order to make a better world. What evil had to be vanquished in order for good to regain its’ footing. Where the Son of God ascended from the Earth to the ‘Most High’ on his Father’s righthand side.

Even before the world was made God was there. Now this is where the lust for power corrupts the weak hearted. If I was the sole leader of a failed state set at naught by every free country in the known world I still wouldn’t care what anyone thought of me. I certainly wouldn’t craft a lie that a 4 and a half year old could conjure up to invade another country. Why would I need to lie if everybody around me is telling me I’m a God? I have an idiot ex-president trump of the United States telling me my moves are moves Sun Tzu couldn’t have crafted. Why would I have military officers around my table as if I actually heed their advice, or better yet I actually allow them to run the war machine of my failed state.

Listen to me right now. This is for all those demon worshipping Republicans that fill those demon White Churches every Sunday. You are not innocent! You may reward all those politicians telling you the lies you want to hear while you’re foaming at the mouth unable to consume them fast enough. I vote Democrat and I don’t hesitate to tell my leaders when they’re wrong or they’re seeking to make decisions that stains their souls. I certainly don’t ask them to be perfect, but I certainly wouldn’t support somebody that lies to me. For instance, Republicans I talk to still believe that Black folks are on government assistance and the only way to stop them is to vote Republican. You know the Republicans give government assistance to the ‘RICH’ every day right? While you wallow in poverty watching your children be hungry and fail in school, but you still vote Republican because they keep the money away from the Blacks.

Is everything a joke in the Republican Party? You’re not just supporting a political party. Don’t try that shit with me! One thing though about Republicans I do appreciate. You’ve helped me prove the fact that there are a lot more evil people in the world than good. Yeah, going to your White Church and ignoring the evil coming from your leaders doesn’t free you from being complicit in their sins. All that part of the problem quote and not the solution. Yeah, that too.

Finally, let me take a stab at it. Vladimir Putin has been consumed by the darkness of debauchery for far too long. That shit eating grin on his face he wears like he knows all of humankind seeks their own gratification void of caring about others as he sure does not. All too often when anyone is surrounded by ass kissers they begin to believe that everyone would do the same if you give them gifts. Everyone can be bought because that is the dictator’s experience. Gosh, they will never know that is untrue before they go straight to Hell!

Now to all those gaining enormous wealth dealing in the commerce of evil good luck. Praising Putin for sitting shirtless atop an ass says a lot about the person saying such things as well doesn’t it? I work in mental health, and I say this all the time to my co-workers and patients. I can do no more than live and die with humanity. I speak up when someone is doing good, and I speak even louder when someone is doing wrong. It cost me rank when I was in the Army. I still have ‘my’ soul. There is no such thing as I’ve said before of dealing in evil to obtain fortune or position and afterwards doing good. That is simply a poorly crafted fantasy of a horribly written script. “The problem with starting out in evil it’s like trying to locate a speck of poison in the blood scream. Before you eliminate that speck from your blood it has already made its way throughout your body because your heart made sure of it.” Something God said about praise with the mouth, but the heart is far from me. Oh well, of course you can do it. You’re the ‘soul breadwinner!’

GROUND WATER SKY

Ground Water Sky

Issue 02: What Is the Problem with the Victors’ writing History?

‘The problem with kissing any wanna be Dictator’s ass? Pretty soon they begin to think you like it!’

I was reading an article on ‘The Hill’ online and it was countering the points of why Vladimir Putin isn’t a ‘genius’ or ‘savvy’ under no interpretation of either meaning. Appalling to read that they were even comparing him to Sun Tzu. Really? The arrogance of ignorance rears its’ head once again. Sun Tzu clearly stated something like winning a war without even fighting it. Is that Vladimir Putin? Sun Tzu also said something about fighting in cities that it is the worst strategy of all. Is that where Vladimir Putin the Great wishes to wage war? One last thing before we move on. Sun Tzu said the leader must have the Moral high ground. Does Vladimir Putin possess the Moral high ground?

Who in the Hell is Vladimir Putin going to take war advice from? Isn’t that the antithesis to listening to wise council? Why would a dictator heed wise council? Vladimir Putin is the President of Russia. He has that position because he offers gifts to those capable of keeping him in power. Again, ‘when you have everybody kissing your ass why would Putin think you don’t like it.’

Forgive my ignorance. I should’ve explained my ideas about how we got to this point in America today if not the world. How do you drive ignorance? Keep it going. Keep it alive. Pump it up with unending foolishness? Before the onset of telephones there was just the spoken and the written word. Then came the ‘moving picture’ and sound was later added to it. Art was incorporated into the lore as well. What’s the saying? “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Oh my goodness how the clever man could sway thoughts and even prompt weak minded individuals to do his evil bidding.

For instance, tell tales of unspeakable crimes which usually meant crimes committed by Black men against White women in particular. Yell them from the altar in hooded white robes. Tell the masses of their false God in their demon churches how that it’s okay to kill human beings bereft of proof as asserted. Ignorance is swift and enticing because it doesn’t require the truth. Stay away from the truth. Why? If the people know the truth it will set them free. Avoid that at all costs.

Dawn the digital age and what it has meant for the ‘commerce of evil’. Evil is a booming business! Stoking ignorance is possible 24 hours a day 7 days a week now. Throw in some grievances about obeying rules even though ‘everything should be done decently and in order.’ Oh sorry, don’t worry about that now? Right moving on to how former President Trump praising this guy Vladimir Putin who is in truth a madman. Somebody call 1989 and tell them Vladimir Putin wants the Soviet Union back. Talk about trying to catch the one or numerous ones that got away.

Listen to me, just because some people praise idiots and attempt to assign them qualities not currently in their possession doesn’t make it so. Genius? Really? Let me take a stab at defining it for any age as some people have bestowed it upon Putin. Genius to me would be one man taking on the entire world and outsmarting them all. Take 3 responses to Putin’s actions that would tell me he’s a genius. One, sanctions levied on me I would already be producing what I’d be denied in country as far as food products. Two, I’d cut off oil and gas supplies and know that Russia is the only country that has these resources. Three, technology and every component to produce things capable of making other things I’d already produce them in house.

Question to intelligent readers only. Does the Russian President have everything he needs in country to securely wall himself off from the rest of the world? Right! The answer is SHIT NO! This is the man some people are calling a genius? The world doesn’t work like that anymore and all those Republicans that want 1939 back must’ve skipped world history. The United States didn’t win World War II on its’ own dumbasses!

Putin gamed out every scenario and outsmarted every nation on the planet? The only people that believe that seem to be Republicans because their view has been browned out by all that ass kissing they do to the one term loser former President Donald Trump. Let me say this as I close out this second issue of Ground Water Sky. Republicans please stop stoking the ignorance in your voters to win elections. Truth can’t be stopped, blocked or distorted. To the Democrats I say this. Keep advising President Biden as I can see you’re doing your best every day to get it right. I believe the Holy Bible says, ‘in the multitude of counselors there is safety.’ Which means caring for those you have the charge over. It doesn’t mean shy away from the tough decisions. It means hear counsel and make decisions.

That’s why when history is written by the ‘Victors’ the retelling of the story is void if not entirely of accurate content. The Moral high ground would deter anyone endued with respectable principles to govern according to those requirements. Alas, evil has a lot more followers than the good among us. Remember that much my loyal readers.

Issue 01: Inflation and the Countermeasures to defeat it

America let’s be clear. I will bring all techniques to bear on inflation which includes selective purchases of goods and services. Groceries, gas and high dollar items are all contained in this effort to combat it. These techniques are for the consumer and the wage earners to retain more of their hard fought hourly and salary increases. Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not seeking to derail legitimate price increases year over year that cover the costs of manufacturing and labor. What I’m combating here is price increases done to take advantage of the current situation in the world today.

Before I start I want to be clear that these techniques are in place in running my household as well. If you can do without something don’t buy it. For instance, I love this brand of sharp cheddar cheese from Wisconsin. It has been out of stock at the commissary for months now. Will I buy it when and if it’s back in stock? Probably but not as often as before because I’ve found another sharp cheddar cheese of the same quality as a replacement. I love T-bone steaks, but I’ve lowered my purchase volume and now portion one out to eat over three days.

If you must have something buy it, but if you can do without it don’t buy it. Don’t buy juice that was $2.75 a month ago and is now $4.25. The things that are unnecessary forgo them or wait to buy them on sale. Return to a rainy day mentality. Store money away for the essentials when things are tight. Again listen to me. Support the businesses that are paying higher wages so they can be locked in place. Nothing is for certain right now, so we have to work together to keep the gains we’ve accomplished!

I’ve said this next technique in one of my other digital periodicals. Stop paying more for cars than what they are worth! I don’t care whether they are new or used. Stop it right now! I’m not going to call a person that does that an idiot anymore, but anyone that is still doing it is hurting everyone else. Trust me, the car companies don’t need more of your money over what is a fair price for their products.

I’m going to keep this post short. What I’m going to do for the first time in over a year is start placing ads back on this website. I will leave my personal business email for anyone that has ideas or comments. My accounting email for businesses that want to advertise as well. They are:

vemoseley@landcause.com accountbilling@landcause.com

P. S.

This also begins this websites’ push for voting teams. We want every State in this great country to organize teams of Democrats and Republicans that want to acknowledge and teach America’s true history and place truth seeking people in public office. This is day one. Keep landcause.com updated cause I believe this is a heck of a glorious ride we’re about to embark upon. I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Issue 18: Police Viewpoints and Interpretation

First let me begin by thanking those two boys for renewing my faith in the brotherhood. Two boys of different color fist fighting, and nobody got shot just totally warmed my heart. I am a 55 year old Black man glad to see that type of disagreement if it had to be settled settled like it was in my day. That being said it is not surprising to me the police reacted just as they did. No inherent bias huh? No institution racism huh? No assumptions about who is guilty and who is innocent based on skin color huh?

The police just zeroed in on the young Black boy and totally comforted the young White boy. No thought to first establishing some order without putting anyone in handcuffs. Here’s what I mean. I work in Behavioral Health and some disturbances in the hospital are between staff and patients. I don’t know what’s going on when I enter the unit that called for assistance. You know what I do? I say to all parties involved this. I need everybody to be calm so I can find out what happened. I don’t pick sides or assign blame on nobody. I need information from everybody and when they call me over I take the lead. Nobody is at fault. I am here to solve the issue. Mental health is different yawl.

This is why consistency is critical when you are counted upon to judge situations righteously. Authorized King James version Bible. James Chapter 2:1-4…My brethren have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2. For it there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

Yeah Critical Race Theory shouldn’t be taught. Human beings don’t learn things and pass those things down to future generations. It’s all in the imagination of Black people. By the way talk about self-awareness. Zero points to the Bridgewater Township Police Department in New Jersey on showing the world how your officers perform their duties with integrity and professionalism. Yeah right! Talk about being oblivious to the fact that cellphones have cameras and audio capabilities.

I see two officers that either didn’t get training on breaking up a fistfight between two teenage boys, or those officers just willfully admitting they have zero skills to separate them and ask why they were fighting. By law we’re not allowed to have handcuffs, restraints, tasers or anything offensive at my job. I have something in my arsenal immensely more powerful though. I have my mind and my voice to talk a volatile situation to a reasonable outcome. It is outcomes that matter, and those police officers failed their profession and their department.

Evil is the outcome when partiality is displayed by anyone and everybody. Being impartial is something learned. How can human beings learn anything if when shown you’re in the wrong people deny the truth? From their leaders to forward facing personnel. Correction is a good thing if taken truthfully. Yes, correction is a bad thing if not enforced. Then what is the point if those people in whatever profession continue to behave without accountability are allowed to remain on the job.

If you are in charge, all I have to say to you then is don’t get mad at people when you are the one responsible for degrading your organization. I wrote about it long ago. Just look it up on this site. Again to those two boys, both of you will probably become best friends in the future. That’s how the brotherhood worked in my day.

MOTHER S. SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 8: The Miseducation of Leadership

Prologue:

(The days are long when correction is grievous. How does that saying goes I wonder? Mother is always recalling or creating what she believes are guiding lights when darkness and failure seems to celebrate their wins over a person’s hopes and dreams. Ah this is it she says, ‘Hope closes in one or two steps to the goal but change flies like a spear covering more ground when it lands true’.

Oh what I wouldn’t give to spend less time teaching and coming off the sternness just for a moment to catch my breath. Modeling isn’t a strain as I don’t need a mirror to remind me of who I am every day. Just that I want to get more things done but I know I can’t rush the growth of my people. Mother contemplates these issues from time to time for brief moments, but she knows she can’t linger in the why of her people’s lagging learning curves.

Mother isn’t irritated with the speed or lack thereof in her plans getting done. She uses these questions about why things progress the way they do to reaffirm her oaths to her discipline. “Professionals have professional conversations another officer once told her”. Don’t lessen the voices of your people because they don’t improve along the timeline you set for them. It doesn’t mean you don’t push them to be better. Just keep being hands on but not micromanaging and your people will see you have expectations they are required to meet. If they fall short then it is still okay because now you’ll know their weakest point and work to help them strengthen it. Alas, leading is a full time profession.).

——————1^st Chapter——————

Mother Sayer: Sarah where’s the reports for the three projects started last quarter?

Sarah W. Certainty: I have them right here. Sorting through the material to answer questions I know you always have for me took a minute.

Mother Sayer: Go on.

Sarah W. Certainty: It looks like all three teams are progressing, but the going isn’t matching the talent you have on those projects.

Mother Sayer: How so?

Sarah W. Certainty: I would’ve figured by now there would be solid production costs in place for the media project. Actors hired all the way to where and when showing would start to at least 1 to 3 episodes in post-production. The Business Project pardon me repeatedly saying the leader is causing heated disagreements and thus the project can be determined at this time to be at a standstill. The Model Project is flowing to which I’m delighted to conclude. The scoreboard now reads you’re going into the second quarter losing. I believe a coach would now call a timeout to regroup and speechify the teams getting their heads more focused in the game right?

Mother Sayer: (Mother laments the constant necessity of leadership. My hands gotta be on the shoulder of my students at all times it seems. Alright!). Goodness the work of leadership is tiring. I’ve got to show them I believe in them and at the same time be gentle, stern and a driving force that I want this done and done right.

Sarah W. Certainty: Don’t get out of character Mother. What is needed now might just be a little encouragement.

Mother Sayer: I should get a sense of what’s going on before I start barking orders is that it?

Sarah W. Certainty: What do you want from your people? I mean their development. What sort of leaders are you trying to create? Do you have it secure in your mind right now? If not then let’s talk so I can help you steer clear of landmines.

Mother Sayer: I need people Like Blinner. She runs my Father’s gas station and trucking service location. I asked her to look into some land for other offices once and she brought me two fine pieces of property to consider.

Sarah W. Certainty: So someone with energy and initiative right?

Mother Sayer: In abundance but also a master of their soul. Success can be liberating and also debilitating.

Sarah W. Certainty: That is true. My Father chose lieutenants that could handle themselves among dangerous men, but he also didn’t need the headache of men acting out of order. My father made sure they understood that they were not to act without permission when it came to say managing the boss’s assets.

Mother Sayer: Can’t crack heads without permission right?

Sarah W. Certainty: Frankly that’s right. That’s how my Father ran things which I must say is not unlike what you need to do. Give your people authority to manage their projects but remind them that critical decisions need to be run by you. Money, locations, new hires, contracts that you have to fulfill must be brought up to your attention.

Mother Sayer: I see the same thing that I did with Blinner letting her scout new locations for expansion but keep me in the loop.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yeah that’s it. They need to be in the room though when you authorize expenditures.

Mother Sayer: Because I’m creating leaders and educating them right means exposing them to all the nuts and bolts that make the wheels turn on progress.

Sarah W. Certainty: We’re getting somewhere now aren’t we so stay with me as I teach you a few more things.

Mother Sayer: Oh, I see what you did there. I’m listening.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah eyes Mother through her peripheral vision as she continues to make her points.). Alternate between intense questioning of why they think this approach would work and to what outcomes they expect from it.

Mother Sayer: Show them I’m paying attention to every word they say.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. The third and last point I want to make is don’t override their decisions if you don’t have to. Power wielded incorrectly is miseducation of what leadership is actually meant to provide. Before you ask I will tell you. Leadership is solemn but righteous in that punishment awaits those that through malice of thought undermine the potential awakening of leadership in a person.

Mother Sayer: Come again?

Sarah W. Certainty: My Father led his criminal organization. The miseducation of leadership would have us believe that was a misguided offshoot of its’ righteous Father. Leaders can be evil. I’m saying be vigilant about what you teach to whom. The consequences are well documented in the horrible history of humankind.

Mother Sayer: So it is my responsibility to not educate someone not worthy of leading other human being?

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s right! I don’t believe in fantasies. I know there is a need for men like my Father in this world. Wishing for a world devoid of evil is the domain of priests. If leadership in my opinion must be taught to those capable of wielding it then it needs to be rationed or a value placed upon it so high it can’t be achieved by no one unworthy of it.

Mother Sayer: After years of being with me I never knew this about you. You feel strongly about this about how people can be led by good and evil as a matter of necessity.

Sarah W. Certainty: I have waited with these thoughts to speak with someone capable of understanding them as I draw them out. Apologies are in order. I deliberately tried to provoke you to anger. I should have known you were long past consuming ‘milk’ instead of ‘meat’. Meat is for those that are capable of discerning both good and evil.

Mother Sayer: No apologies are required. I am here for you always my child. I would never lash out in anger towards you. I will take this time though to reaffirm with you that you can speak to me about anything. I would never get mad at you. How I started with you is how I will remain with you. There’s no flipping the script with me.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know. Two Mothers are always better than one and I’m thankful for both of you.

Mother Sayer: Now you believe I should stay within a certain set of principles, but also be mindful that the leader in front of me I’m responsible for if he or she goes and uses my teachings for malicious purposes?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. I know you can handle it though. Although I must put a bug in your ear that you don’t have a lot of time to spend on the third floor.

————–2^nd Chapter—————-

Mother Sayer: Let’s pause a little longer Sarah. There have been thoughts lingering in my mind about the men and women chosen by God and his son Jesus in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. How were those people chosen? What trait or skill did they possess that made them stand out to God and Jesus?

I mean these people led tribes, flocks and entire nations. The text of the Holy Word did say some faltered. Some were killed. Some committed evil in spite of being chosen. Yes some did repent and were forgiven. Because you said I must be wary of bestowing authority and shoring up that authority as my choice could in the end be found unworthy.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know you love your people and don’t want to think of the possibility that the wrong person is in the room. A wolf has been let in the fold and is sniffing out the vulnerabilities of your people and your organization. Please Mother I’m just saying be careful. I would never tell you to hold back your energy. I can feel it. I know when you get here every day. Just, don’t hold back but also be careful of power. Only the good uses of it is projected and we both know that’s not the entire picture.

Mother Sayer: Exactly my dear and I agree and accept your cautious admonition. The Bible is a great and vastly complex yet simple story. One part of that story I found fascinating was that of Moses. Touching only the part after he at great cost rejected a life of luxury. Moses accepted the greatest responsibility there is in this life. Leader of an entire nation. Most people only read, recite or preach about Moses’ obedience to God. They don’t mention how God taught and counseled him every step of the way because that doesn’t fit a narrative Americans like to tell themselves.

Sarah W. Certainty: A narrative of the ‘self-made man’ right?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. So many people in this country done struck themselves down with that complex. Their mental health is flapping like laundry on a clothesline at the mercy of strong wind. They’ve given their natural learning abilities over to cliches and poorly crafted old wives’ tales.

Sarah W. Certainty: Certainly. I’ve listened to my friends as they speak about what problems they have on their jobs and how their friends advise them to not ruffle the feathers or stand out. It will get you fired they say. Yet they still work at these jobs that drain every ounce of energy from them while tossing them cookie-cutter certificates of appreciation.

Mother Sayer: I know and that’s why America is misled by captains of industry that couldn’t form an original thought in their minds if God put it there himself. Innovation comes from where is a question I want you to answer. Where does innovation and new ideas originate in a small or a large corporation?

Sarah W. Certainty: It comes from the people below the man sitting at the top.

Mother Sayer: More precisely a White man. Take a look for a moment at two sectors of the American economy. The industrial base and the entertainment industry. When decisions are made in a small business more than likely input comes from everybody that works there. When decisions are made in a large corporation they come from a few people. Mainly old White men are advising old White men what to do.

Take microprocessors for example. Who thought that it would be a good idea to give nearly the entire production capacity to factories in other countries? Who decided that was the right thing to do? Not one single old White guy looked beyond the money they were saving by not paying American workers what they deserve. In America 2022 does that decision look like a forward thinking one?

Sarah W. Certainty: No it’s not. So the predicament or predicaments America finds itself from time to time aren’t caused by some random invisible force. Like someone is turning a circular dial with preset clicks of hardships no matter where the needle lands?

Mother Sayer: I’m sure the old white men that made those decisions would never accept blame for what’s happening to our lagging production capacity. This is what’s astonishing. Again without anyone present in the room schooled or learned in the philosophical disciplines there’s no one really running those decisions to ground.

Sarah W. Certainty: Apologies. I should’ve known you were a student of these things. You had to be if you wanted to start a business and know where you wanted to take it.

Mother Sayer: Just think about it for a minute. The applications for microprocessors has expanded quicker than anybody anticipated. Now they’re in practically every machine and device manufactured. Glad to have White guys believing they’ve got all the answers huh? How’s that working out for America?

Sarah W. Certainty: Like I said my father knew he needed competent lieutenants, and he placed them in charge in key areas of his criminal enterprise. Whether they were White guys or men from the old countries like Italy, Sicily or the United Kingdom. Different outlooks can be corralled by a well-traveled and well-rounded leader.

Mother Sayer: Yes! I’ve got to have diversity in the ranks. Will I make an erroneous choice? Yes. More than one time I dam sure will, but it is unavoidable. This is why your friends are told not to ruffle feathers or rock boats. Let me tell you something I guess I didn’t have to be taught by my father. Speak up if you feel violated. If something is about to go wrong say something and be firm about it. Let it be known even if everyone else in that meeting agrees with the boss.

Sarah W. Certainty: I guess I possessed that skill just by having the good fortune of being born to a mobster.

Mother Sayer: We can’t chose our parents, but we can certainly chose to pay attention and learn something in every moment of our lives. By the way, I would second that motion that you are not a pushover which is why I thank my lucky stars for your professionalism and maturity. My I could talk to you all day Sarah about things I’ve learned and the success I’ve enjoyed just being able to take criticism and correction.

Sarah W. Certainty: My mother could make me do a lot of things. One thing she couldn’t make me do is keep my mouth closed. I had to learn the hard way one day popping off to my father about something I wanted to do after he said no. My face was red and stung for two days, but I knew not to disrespect my father again.

Mother Sayer: It takes an adjustment to know when to speak and when not to speak. Maybe that small rebuke was all you needed to adjust mentally.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know you got to go but finish what you were saying about two sectors of the American economy.

Mother Sayer: The entertainment industry is much the same way in the stale nature of what in their minds are ‘acceptable’ programming for network television and the movies. Now they’re falling behind because the streaming media companies paste their butts with shows that more reflect the lives people live.

Sarah W. Certainty: I do have a few shows I watch on Netflix and Hulu that are way more interesting that 90% of the shows on Network television.

Mother Sayer: Right. Diversity in my opinion adds controls like a risk assessment I often used in the Army. The dangers are listed and then controls are placed next to them line by line to lower the risks inherent in the many harmful well really lethal activities associated with armed forces.

Sarah W. Certainty: If only certain groups of people are in the room there could be something they could be missing because they aren’t factoring in every possible outcome. Their views and understandings are limited by not seeing the entire picture. Different people like different things which vexes me about America. How can a White man tell Black people or Hispanic people or any race of people he isn’t a member what is important for them?

Mother Sayer: Exactly! Realistically it is better to have different ways of viewing and interpreting events in the world. People that look like each other are inherently bound to draw the same conclusions.

Sarah W. Certainty: Tomatoes and peppers do provide distinctly different flavors to the dish ordered from a restaurant menu.

Mother Sayer: What oh, you’re providing a cooking analogy. The differences in aroma, texture and variety of every ingredient makes a more enjoyable eating experience. There is a renowned legacy known across the culinary world about Italian food. It is justified.

Sarah W. Certainty: My mother says if you put a plate of food in front of a man and he eats it with gusto, then a wife should take pleasure in the sight of her man devouring her cooking. Food should be pleasurable just as much as love making.

Mother Sayer: Love making?

Sarah W. Certainty: Italian women are most passionate. I can provide testimony to that. Just from what I’ve seen how my parents are all over each other. Little touches or kisses here and there. Looks that linger to include grooming like brushing back hair from the face or straitening clothes or giving approval to what each other is wearing.

Mother Sayer: I think this talk today has opened my preconceptions up for examination which in truth I’ve quickly assessed as they’ve cascaded across my mind. Don’t worry I won’t teach or attempt to teach somebody something I know doesn’t have the capability of receiving it for what it is intended.

Sarah W. Certainty: We both know there are too many women and men in positions of power with the fate of their companies and to a large degree their countries economies in unskilled hands.

Mother Sayer: I’ve got to push the boundaries. Helping my people succeed helps my company succeed. Exclusion from a Black woman’s perspective has been devastating to our economy. I will always make a decision when I need to because the Army has indoctrinated and conditioned me to act under pressure. What I also have a responsibility to do is train up people that have the capability of leadership. Will I train a person unworthy? Of course, win or lose I still must do that.

—————–3^rd Chapter——————–

(Mother makes her three stops at all three projects and receives her updates. All of the assessments put together gives her encouragement which is what she was hoping. She did approve more funding and production sites for all projects. She left the leaders in place for now. Mother knows changes at the top could roil the entire project, so she left well enough alone. She did leave everybody with the impression that progress is expected at her next briefing.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother returns to her office to let Sarah know what took place so everybody knows where the projects stood on that day.). Sarah the meetings weren’t too bad. I see I’m not immune to assuming the worst is going to happen. Something else I need to work on about me.

Sarah W. Certainty: Don’t we all. So what happened?

Mother Sayer: The production project was actually in the hiring of actor’s stage. I got the sense that their writers were finishing up on the first three stories and the entire purpose and plot of the show. The BAD project leader Mr. O’Woh is actually doing good. He isn’t as bad as I thought or the friction toward him seems to be at a minimum. He really seems to be taking our last encounter to heart.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s like saying there’s cement still in the truck when you know you dumped it all over him.

Mother Sayer: Oh I see, a reference to cement shoes gangster style.

Sarah W. Certainty: A little humor. I’m working on it.

Mother Sayer: Try smaller sentences and catchy phrases. They’re easier to remember because they land better on the mind.

Sarah W. Certainty: Right. Mr. O’Woh must’ve had soap ready to clean all that cement off.

Mother Sayer: Better. The Model Project is having recruiting problems. It seems Ms. Oakli is having trouble relating to the target audience for her project.

Sarah W. Certainty: Are you going to throw her a life vest I mean from what you said she is in over her head.

Mother Sayer: Why? For what? She has only experienced a side of life where money opens doors for you. I’m going to let her learn that on the less fortunate side of life relationships are all that matters. She’s going to learn how to relate, or she’s done at the ARC.

Sarah W. Certainty: You’re not going to how did you say it ‘Sesame Street that shit for her’.

Mother Sayer: (Mother chuckles and remembers she did share that line from one of her medical Sergeants). Right. No Sarah. Ms. Oakli needs to learn, and I would do her a disservice by shielding her from acquiring skills critical to survive when you are out of your comfort zone.

Sarah W. Certainty: The miseducation of leadership.

Mother Sayer: When I got shot on that ‘clip’ in Iraq I didn’t have somebody there I could fall back on to take over or tell me what to do to get out of it. I either called on what I learned or me and my soldiers would’ve died that day. We also have a saying in the Army. “If you don’t know your tactics it’s too late in a firefight. What you’re going to have then is an oh shit moment and then that’s too late.”

Sarah W. Certainty: Better know what you’re doing before you step up right?

Mother Sayer: Well that’s why the Army spends ungodly sums of time in training. If you don’t know what to do when you’re in a real conflict then it’s your fault.

Sarah W. Certainty: You’re going to let the project fail?

Mother Sayer: Yes if that’s what it takes. I brought her into the ARC. She must be tested. She took the job Sarah. Hey there’s another saying.

Sarah W. Certainty: I got it. ‘Can’t stand the heat stay outta the kitchen.’

Mother Sayer: Yeah. Sarah I don’t need to know this stuff. I already know this. She’s acting all high and mighty then she’s calling for what she must face. You wanna prevent her from falling on her face by all means help her. Remember, you’re the one worried about spreading the gospel of leadership to everybody.

Sarah W. Certainty: Ah you got me back.

Mother Sayer: You’re a chip off the ole gangsta too I see.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yeah we both have thick skins.

Mother Sayer: My child I want more women like us. We can only fight so far. There has to be women bringing up the rear when we are called off the battlefield for good.

Prologue:

(Mother and Sarah share a few more laughs and smiles as they close the office for the day. Mother thinks a few wins a week for a business is wonderful. A few minds evolving every day on good ground brings that exponential change like that spear soaring through the air. It will land farther and farther each time it is hurled aloft by well-rounded and well-adjusted leaders. Everything can’t just be about the numbers Mother puts it.

What about the growth of your people? What about their mental health? Human beings require many things in life and one of the most important of them is knowing they are valued and needed. Structure adds a sense of purpose as efforts are wasted if good order is missing. There has to be discipline where goals are concerned. Mother knows many things are needed by people, and as a mother of two children singleness of thought is misguided as she knows each child is different.

All her people need different things at the ARC. She is adept at sensing them because she was never prey to single track thinking. As a nurse you have to be able to multitask. Don’t let up off your people she tells herself. Too many people in their lives have already done that. Know your people well and always steer them to what the ARC is in business to accomplish. To make a profit not just in monetary terms, but in terms of her people and their growth. The people bring to her the more powerful satisfaction and that’s the energy she wants to keep pumping up.)…..

GIVE ME THAT OLE TIME WHAT?

Give Me That Ole Time What?

Declaration of Humanity 4.0…This founding statement is different. This one is being written in clarification of an ongoing threat of fear that ‘evil’ seems to offer more rewards than ‘good’ ever will, and more overtly the verbal Christians are flocking more openly to evils promise of fortune. While this trend is alarming I must counter with this fact. Evil has never gone out of season in America. Good is more than a match for evil, but the righteousness of good can only be activated from a straight line. What is that straight line you ask? It is the center of every human beings’ known universe. If it is straight it is a ‘Heartline’. A heartline from the heart to the soul because when our heart stops our deeds will be called into account. The ‘JUDGE’ will know what you did and not what you meant to do…

ISSUE 1: Good for the Paul and Silas

Give me that ole time religion, give me that ole time religion, give me that ole time religion it’s good enough for me. Wow that sure brings back some memories of church going. The pulsating vibrations of voices and instruments impacting your mind and body as it sweeps you away to a piece of time spent walled off from the hatred of your fellow man. Maybe that is why I’m not condemning all Christians more specifically White Christians. Some White Christians may just enjoy being naïve to the fact that inaction against evil is still judgeable.

When ‘Pap Paw’ come in from working the slaves a few centuries ago and plays with his sons he taught them about Black folk. How Black folks really weren’t human beings which allowed him to rape the female kind and break the wills of the male kind. I mean he probably stated that even the U.S. Constitution said it. ‘A Negro is 3/5 of a White person’ and therefore is not entirely a human being like we are son. Boy you can do anything to them and nobody gonna say anything about it. I can do whatever I want with my ‘property’. Give me that ole time religion its’ good enough for me (sing the refrain as you jut out your bottom teeth in a southern twang).

Now why on God’s green Earth would White folks more specifically those that have looked the other way for centuries. I mean the technique of ignoring horrors and blood curdling screams of human suffering is probably a truly refined cliffs note by now. I trust I’m making sense to everyone that suffers from a ‘complex’ about hate groups and the exposed subtle nature of quiet agreement. Let’s be honest Republicans. The political party of Republicans have used evil in subtle forms throughout its’ founding.

The ole state of Alabama where I grew up is no longer trying to conceal their thirst for hatred to live on because fortune is in it for them. I can’t believe how long this still needs to be said. The Confederacy lost the Civil War! Haters if you want to continue worshipping losers do it within the walls of your home. Alabama is creating fines and crimes for their removal. How about this citizens of Alabama and elsewhere? Make those Republicans pay a fee for the State property those statues and idols to hatred stand on. The land belongs to every citizen right? Put it to a vote and let the people decide. Let the conscience make the choice.

Make no mistake or interpret my digital periodicals erroneously. The commerce of hatred is very well fed in America. Don’t be discouraged those of us doing the right thing every day. The battle is joined. One voice has always been allowed to speak about all the other races in America. The haters now know that monopoly is destroyed forever. Everybody else whose voices have been muzzled are now speaking the true nature of who they are. No more being defined by White men.

Give me that ole time religion kept so many people of color secure for a piece of time. Now we are demanding to be secure outside the walls of a Church. ‘It was good for the Paul and Silas, it was good for the Paul and Silas, it was good for the Paul and Silas, it’s good enough for me’. No more longing for the ‘ole’ days haters as those days are finally being put out to die in the Sun on parched ground. Nevertheless I know evil will always find a way to hate. Maybe going after the LGBTQ and transgender community will get Republican voters hatred stirred up once again.

Give me that ole time what? Oh by the way, ‘evil’s’ line is always crooked. Didn’t want you to finish reading this and think I forgot to define what sort of line evil walks. It’s crooked.

Issue 17: A First for Black History Month Circa 2022

What events preceded the 1^st of February 2022 in the long struggle of Black people in America. This digital edition is a look back and a celebration of how events in U.S. History unfolded and propelled Black people to these days in time. Fittingly it started with slavery and the wholesale dehumanization of Black people. It devolved from that fact to formalizing slaves as property and wholly subject to the rules of who owns them. Which enviably leads to the mindset that they can’t learn, think, or reason as did White men.

Oh we’re just getting started. Let’s fast forward to the 20^th century and the struggle for inclusion into all parts of America. Black men couldn’t be scientists as that would require higher learning or ingenuity to bring ideas to life. The Black man that made peanuts into peanut butter. Black men were thought of as incapable of flying warplanes. I wonder what the judgment of that exclusion was. Huh? If Black men were believed to be lesser human beings then why experiment on us with Syphilis hoping that the results from the test subjects would be used to cure other human beings? Yeah that’s a contradiction if ever there was one.

A Black man couldn’t learn medicine to the point where he masters it and performs the first open heart surgery. Huh? A Black woman couldn’t develop the covid 19 vaccine? C’mon man, stop playing around. You know Black people can’t possibly understand the material let alone finish over a decade of schooling. A Black man sitting on the U.S. Supreme is ludicrous! No way in Hell he could possess the intelligence to become a scholar of the law. Impossible! Black people elected to every government office in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I’d say that was outrageous for anyone to even suggest a Black person has the capacity to craft laws and abide by them.

Oh my goodness a Black man will be elected President of the United States of America. Clutch your pearls evangelicals because it happened. Now I have another event to ask you to consider. A Black woman as Vice President of the United States. Get the ‘truck’ out of here! I need to get confirmation on this next possible stronghold to be destroyed at its base so it may topple down upon the heads of the despicable sewer scum shouting it. It is this notion that a Black woman couldn’t possibly comprehend what it means to be a Supreme Court Justice let alone know anything about the law. Black women of all women are incapable of even passing the bar exam to become a lawyer.

Listen to me, I don’t care what the haters say. Every lying conniving men stealing cradle robbing evangelical immoral scoffing politician have made known their thoughts about Black people for hundreds of years. What is different now? It’s the same ole stale regurgitated supremacy inferiority complex spued by a certain group of hateful and vile White people unable to hold Black people in check. It never worked. It stalled Black people for a while but like a thunderous wave coming ashore this Black woman nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court will knock down this new barrier just like Black people have been doing for centuries!

Haters keep talking and keep putting up your barriers. We’ll keep knocking them down!

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

The ones who hold the power tell the story. The quote went something like that. Make peace with that truth and let’s move on to how power can wreck a weak mind. When the King eats from the same soil and drinks from the same pond how then did humankind conclude that denying these basic truths could unify us all? How the realization of what power brings to those that possess it can influence human being that are weak of spirit. When their spirit is enticed to commit acts of evil when those in power that are evil hearted require it of them. The Creator gifted his diverse creation carefully. The care he intended has been perverted by one race intent on maintaining their power instead of sharing it as we share the land, water and the air. America is that experiment. May I say it has never reached its full potential because she (Motherly pronoun) has never loved all her children.

Issue 1: Feed My Flock?

Feed them with what you ask? In the basic sense of things that are needful for the human body to survive and thrive the answer would be food and water. This is where a conniving man allowed to don the attire of a pastor would target the mind of the simple. Would you agree that the vast majority of church goers are simple minded deflectors? By that I mean these so called believers would allow themselves to be cast under a spell of mischievous men into a kind of religion unauthorized by the living God. That’s the only nice answer I can conclude because using other disciplines of reasoning I would conclude that the ‘flock’ is content to be led astray.

Take Jeremiah 23:2 “Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.” The Authorized King James Holy Bible condemns all those so called pastors that have led astray all these so-called white evangelical Christians on a path straight to Hell! Jews and Gentiles don’t have to kiss your asses! I tell you what’s not going to ever happen again in this great country. We’re not going to tell you it’s okay ever again to visit evil upon other races for ‘shits and giggles’ evangelical Christians.

Enough with the church lessons for a block of people who’ve been led astray for centuries. Now to the good that is still alive and practiced in this world. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer I celebrate and applaud your love of your country. It is not just that he wanted to maintain an ideological balance or presence on the highest court in the land. Justice Breyer knew that diversity of thought and lived experiences were in jeopardy of being diminished. This man embodies a special loyalty to humanity itself. Justice Breyer is still a citizen of America and I’m sure he witnessed the theft of a Supreme Court appointment. His commitment to America pressed him to act in order for America not to lose ground in the fight for equality. Justice Breyer stepped down because he is the ultimate team player! I can’t say the same about some of our other Federal officials.

Let me say this and I hope this time it reaches a lot of Americans. Tragedy is a constant for our country. Why? Because some elected officials are unworthy of their station which leads to the constant flow of pain and suffering in our country. Talking la la la just talking going round about and acting like the nut jobs in America are the only people that matter. The shooting in Tennessee is a symptom of this cowboy mentality in policing. The claims of operating a professional police force is never evident in the actions of their personnel. It’s like a person claiming they’re a doctor without ever attending medical school, submitting to a licensing skills assessment process and passing it. Police forces should have a credentialing board. A federal law should be established that police forces must meet certain criteria to perform their duties lawfully.

I can’t share with you the situations I have encountered in my day to day duties as a mental health professional. One thing I can share is that I face the same dangers as police officers to lesser degrees. I am required to perform my duties professionally using my words and mental health techniques to gain compliance from ‘human beings’ in distress. My job is not a job for those fearful of getting hurt or injured. I come to work smiling knowing that I have a God in Heaven I must answer to when it’s all said and done. I promise you when I face God there won’t be any hesitation in my voice when I answer that I acted humanely toward all his children.

In summary, we don’t apply the law through the fog of intense emotions and tragedy. Just laws should be applied with clarity of thought and relevance. Stop applying the defining criteria of raw emotions to official decisions. If you can’t adjudicate the requirements of your office and I mean every official of government ethically and lawfully, then step away and do something else with your life. Pain and suffering is not going anywhere. That’s why professional jobs require ‘PROFESSIONALS’! That’s why backsliding is something we are warned about which seems like as a nation we’re doing in many areas.

God help the children being educated in this day and age. They won’t have anything to fear until they start committing the atrocities they were prevented from knowing growing up. Then their parents will be scared of them then will they not be? I wonder how that society will look when it comes to past? I guess attempting to prevent tragedies are something only Jews and Black people worry about.

Issue 16: The Misapplication of Power

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City I laud your achievement and pray that you have all the success due. Now that being said I’m wondering about two things you’ve done over the last week. One is that you angrily lashed out at the ‘killers’ of those now two police officers. What did you mean by ‘killers’? The second thing you laid out a plan of putting more police officers on the street. Returning the plain clothes unit to duty and strongly urging the courts in New York to prioritize gun crimes. Forgive my bewilderment but isn’t that the same ole stale, unimaginative and as we said in the military ‘it’s the same shit with a new smell’.

Let me offer blessings for the families of those officers and that their memories be not besmirched by grand standing or calls for vengeance or retaliation against innocent human beings. The fact of the matter is that their leadership failed those officers. Here’s what I’m talking about. How about awareness training when dealing with the citizens officers are sworn to protect that covers mental health issues all the way to include domestic situations.

Techniques such as 1: When approaching the home ask for as much information available on that address to include how many people live there to if firearms are registered. 2: When officers enter the home ascertain which resident is the calmest able to provide a clear assessment of the situations so the officers can deploy their training as appropriate. 3: If the domestic is volatile ask the calm resident to ask everyone to come out into the open space showing their hands as an act of kindness because the officers are here to talk. 4: If the situation is volatile then the officers take cover and advise the despondent resident to come out with hands visible. 5: A mental health professional should be on call or on the scene ready to advise the officers if there is potential danger they aren’t cognizant of as a mental health professional would be.

His honor the Mayor lashing out like that is unprofessional. It is obvious to me he doesn’t have strong advisors around him to let him know he’s not a cop anymore. His honor is now the Mayor. What his honor has shown to the public is an offer to return to times where emotions are heightened, and innocent people are harassed if anyone remembers ‘stop and frisk’. May I add that it is salient that his staff are void of the philosophical disciplines. There needs to be on staff people learned in ethics, logic, the metaphysical and so forth to offer different points of view and thus would serve to deescalate some of those powerful emotions like anger when tragedy occurs. It is not a bad thing to have those kinds of people around to temper impulses that may lead to more tragedies.

Therein lies the misapplication of power when events occur that no one in leadership can stop from happening. Those in power can seek out those that have answers and connect their chain of command to see it gets disseminated. The ‘person’ that committed those crimes is the only person that should be held accountable. Saying things like ‘killers’ gives rise to people’s prejudices and more importantly it ‘distracts’ and minimizes the acts of that lone individual. If any of you are wondering yes I am an older Black man well pass middle age who unfortunately sees life keeps repeating itself.

Listen to me cause I will be clear. The majority in America has always been White. People of color and those that are not White. Please don’t co-sign to ‘a failure of imagination’. If you have ideas on what should happen do not be afraid to try them. What do you know? They could work, or the faults in the misapplication of power will befall you as well.

The ARC of Conditioning

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season 2: Episode 7: The ARC of Conditioning

Prologue:

(Mother has tasted, savored and ingested the inner thoughts of her team. What she realizes that in every dish some of the ingredients must remain unknown to lend a certain mystique to the chef. Mother also knows that every side dish to compliment a truly succulent meal is dependent on the appetite of the diners. She also knows that the wrong guest could make some items incompatible which means it could cause an upset stomach. Alas, where food is an easier mix to manage, she knows finding the right people to contribute to a finished business creation is trickier than it seems.

It’s time for Mother to go before her ARC Council. What was it that I discovered about the human body? Oh, that it doesn’t care what is introduced to it because it hasn’t a say in what it can or cannot consume. The last sentence applies to food items of course. Once a substance is ingested via the mouth and enters the ‘void’ of the stomach then it will be processed and the results we know are either good or bad. Why can’t human being apply understanding to the mind as well? How did humans become so arrogant that we’ve mistaken the mind for wholeness even when we’ve nowhere near gathered what it needs?

We’ve deluded ourselves into believing that the mind doesn’t need to be respected at all times. In furtherance that the mind is doing things all the time like adding to our existence constantly, and we just expect it knows where to put current information. Time has long since left the mind to abide in the metaphorical ‘corner’ where it has confounded all who will never seek to respect its benefits or its punishments when misused knowingly or unknowingly. Unlike the stomach being fast to help the body recover when the right nutrients are ingested; the mind would like to know if you can even comprehend the knowledge laid out for you. Mother knows human beings are more likely to bungle the process of learning by the arrogance of intelligence or the arrogance of ignorance. Yeah, both options are quite common in this world.).

————–1^st Chapter—————

Mother Sayer: (Entering her building on this day has her focused on her primary task. She has bled toughness by neglecting her council. Her council can metaphorically kick her teeth in. Mother is very familiar with the principle of ‘self-awareness’. How else could she achieve success in her responsibilities if she didn’t know when she is vulnerable or when she is strong or when she is losing her ‘edge’. She will correct that today.). Hello, Sarah. What’s on my morning schedule?

Sarah W. Certainty: Nothing really requiring you spend a lot of time addressing. Three calls to the project managers along with approving studio space to keep the tempo moving toward a presentable project for you to green light.

Mother Sayer: Good, are refreshments in my office?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes.

Mother Sayer: Thank you. I will recharge and get this day going. When I finish those tasks I will visit The ARC Council. As usual take charge here and do what I know you know how.

Sarah W. Certainty: Of course, Mother. Hope they don’t knock you upside your head too much.

Mother Sayer: Oh today I need a little roughness from them. I sense my grasp of knowledge is off kilter. Information isn’t falling in the right spots on my mind. I need to get that corrected immediately. Today I expect to be back at 100% when I come out of that room.

———–2^nd Chapter———-

(The elevator ride down to the bottom floor seems like it’s taking forever. Anxious moments like these lead to cluttered thoughts that flow out of it in unorganized patterns. Mother begins her calming techniques she has taught herself over many years of life. Her father is still alive, but she knows she can’t knock on his door every time a problem must be addressed. She’s got the cognitive skills to get it done.

Trust in what Ableman Sayer has taught you, but also trust in what you have gleaned and woven into being that formidable woman. This session won’t have me attending in a weakened state of mind. This session is called to fortify what I am right now while at the same time understanding where I may be vulnerable. D.D.O. might even speak this time although that’s just a fantasy of mine. The ARC Angel may be in conflict which serves to sharpen my responses. Frank Inquisitor is probably locked and loaded ready to send rapid fire in my direction.

This session is certain to be full of fireworks.).

Mother Sayer: (She exits the elevator and strides down the hall back in full confidence posture.). Hello Council Assistant. I am ready to attend the meeting.

Dreshe (pronounced Drey’she): Notifies Mother that she now has a name to go with the position.

Mother Sayer: Yes Dreshe, I will see the council now.

Dreshe: Your presence is acknowledged. Please have a seat as I inform them of your arrival.

Mother Sayer: (Good one Mother says to herself. Make me wait which is what she would do. No one should drop everything because I’ve made a house call.). Thank you.

————3^rd Chapter————-

(Mother is ushered to the door as usual by Dreshe and she locks it behind her. The room is more furnished with different items she assumes represents different metaphysical and spiritual beliefs. A globe that seems to mirror the Earth’s regions precisely. An ancient mirror by the looks of it. Several different flowerpots growing all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Lastly a door that leads to the outside has been redesigned to allow as much sunlight and natural weather conditions to fill the room as possible. This is thought provoking is an understatement.)

The ARC Angel: Ah Mother you did remember where we were in the building and here I was telling the other members you’ve lost a step. We’ll get to that shortly.

Mother Sayer: A one percent drop in my intellect still wouldn’t give you an advantage even if you had Martha Nussbaum coaching you.

Frank Inquisitor: Oh, I see you’ve come to fight. Question? What is the rate at which learning proceeds and who is qualified to measure it?

Mother Sayer: Knowledge is gained by a structured timetable lasting between 4 and 9 months. Those qualified to measure it present to a licensing body which examines their ability to teach and measure academics. Upon successfully completing such an exam they become licensed to justify who passes and who fails a block of instruction.

Furthermore once a professional status is obtained the holder of each discipline must submit to continuing education in order to remain proficient in their chosen field of study.

The ARC Angel: Now that we’ve gotten book smarts out of the way. The human body. Is it a multifaceted creation capable of change, or is it something that once a set of instructions is loaded it cannot be altered?

Mother Sayer: An individual must decide what he or she will be known as. From there a person seeks out what will strengthen and sustain the kind of person they wish to become.

D.D.O.: Although he doesn’t speak he motions with sign language that to what would a person study to show approval?

Mother Sayer: In sign language: Mother replies: No instruction could be mastered immediately because human emotions would often alter a beginner’s discipline. The hardest part about charting a new course rest in the initial destination. Most people are knocked off course by the slightest wind or smallest rumble under their feet

Frank Inquisitor: Maybe the revelation of being sidetracked is a signal that the destination is in error.

Mother Sayer: Maybe the revelation is a warning the person has a history of starting something and never following through with it.

The ARC Angel: What if the person decided to be a doctor? Could everyone that declares for a profession achieve it?

Mother Sayer: (Mother knows this one all too well). Absolutely not. That is a form of group think that emanated from a constructed dream of American achievement. Simply put it is a repeated line from a celebration of a few people succeeding at the start of the industrial revolution.

D.D.O.: In sign language: So I couldn’t achieve my dream in America? What if I wanted to be a teacher? Could that be possible in America?

Mother Sayer: You would have to rely on the ingenuity of others to make it possible. For instance you would need preprinted materials and digital media to record your lectures for the entire semester. Maybe an assistant or two that could answer questions from your students. The degree of difficulty in performing the same functions as a non-deaf professor would have you at a markedly disadvantage.

The ARC Angel: Although your answer is correct it was delivered with zero empathy.

Mother Sayer: Oh, I didn’t know this was a pity party. Should I perform with crocodile tears as well?

Frank Inquisitor: Obviously your skill in answering challenges still passes the test, but what about your people. How are they doing? You are adding to your legend as the days past. What about them? Are they getting the attention and training they need to get stronger mentally?

Mother Sayer: There is a mandatory 30 minute assessment and awareness time carved out in each and every associate’s schedule 3 times a week. It is to be used for whatever purpose the associate decides. The associates’ entire health is our priority at the ARC.

D.D.O.: In sign language: How nice of you not to squeeze every ounce of usefulness from your employees for profit and actually give a dam about them. That is commendable. Maybe we need to submit you to the Nobel Commission for the Peace Prize.

Mother Sayer: So I gather it is unusual for an employer to actually give a dam is that what I’m hearing? No need to answer that’s a rhetorical question. We all know the answer. My father provided quite a good model. He taught me something to which I’ve added my own verse. “The rich man consumes his food, and it is purged in the void just as the poor man”. My verse. “A living wage fills every empty stomach”.

The ARC Angel: Going and coming right I get it. What about conflict? I heard Mr. O’Woh and Ms. Oakli were uncooperative? They didn’t kiss the ring?

Mother Sayer: (God I was waiting for one of them to say that.). Amusing. Let me share something else I’ve learned in this life. There is a phenomenon I call the ‘arrogance of intelligence’ and the ‘arrogance of ignorance’.

D.D.O.: In sign language: I hope you’ve thought this through because I’d like to hear what you have to say. Please.

Mother Sayer: Buying a field and not planting it with growing things that humans consume would be a waste of that field wouldn’t it? The same can be said of harvesting that field to feed countless others and feeling those people would be hungry if it wasn’t for me. Arrogance begins at the doorstep of success.

The ARC Angel: Success is the driving force that motivates the human mind.

D.D.O.: In sign language: Shut up! I may not be able to sign as fast as you can talk. I still need some playing time on this field the same as you do. Go ahead Mother.

Mother Sayer: Conditioning begins when all of us decides who we will become mind you. Of a truth, this revelation about arrogance in two of its’ forms needs more than a passing exposition. Its effect are quite destructive for those with a false belief of its’ usefulness. Therefore I will press forward with my explanation and conclusion.

Just a reminder we’re talking about the ‘arrogance of intelligence’ in this block of instructions. While intelligence is not the boogeyman the conclusion of its possessor is. History is packed with notions of bringing ‘religion’ to third world countries.

Frank Inquisitor: Yes we know European history books fawn and swoon about the fact how Africa was civilized. How without them the continent would still be inhabited by a bunch of jungle bunnies jumping up and down with their privates flapping in the wind.

Mother Sayer: A crude description even as the accuracy is off. Let me refine your look back at history. Who decided the African continent needed European guidance?

Frank Inquisitor: The Catholic Church would be my conclusion.

Mother Sayer: True with additional players willing to bring their vision to fruition. Any decision made in the history of this planet in Heaven and Earth has to be followed by willing foot soldiers capable of creating that reality. This is what occurs daily as I conduct my affairs as the leader of the ARC Incorporated. Selecting the right people based on relevant data from different sources to include a resume, but more importantly the insight comes in the face to face hiring interview.

Frank Inquisitor: Wait. The real assessment in whether the person in front of you fits part of a puzzle to eventually achieve the goals of your company. That happens in that interview?

Mother Sayer: I said the entire process is important not just the face to face interview. My human resource manager has laid out some amazing questions that don’t just laud over academic transcripts. Hardships and triumphs wrapped in tough choices like doing what is right or what is easy to earn a buck. I’m not looking for sponge cakes. I’m looking for grease burns and skinned knees.

D.D.O.: In sign language: People who’ve actually had to break through barriers just to be able to tell themselves they’re now eligible to seek out a life.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, those people that probably came up in two parent, one parent, foster parent or group homes where the only person responsible for their protection was the person staring at them in the mirror.

The ARC Angel: A fighter or somebody that knows how to take a blow and keep swinging is that right?

Mother Sayer: That attempt at understanding who I’m searching for or my quest to build the kind of team that can work independently is important. Spiritually I want people that can refresh the people around them. I push energy to those people because they want to pull energy from a person capable of leading them to become something more.

The ARC Angel: What would be the ‘more’ you seek for them?

Mother Sayer: Let’s be clear. Intelligence can be achieved by successfully completing a course of instruction by probably the majority of human beings. What is more difficult is understanding that discovering your intelligence being celebrated by others is not a license to use it to judge others for not achieving the same level of education.

That opens bare the ‘arrogance of intelligence’. How did education become the rod of oppression? I believe that’s why in my early childhood I’ve heard such strange things like ‘you’re trying to be white’ because you’re taking seriously your education. We’ll table that discussion for another ARC Council session.

Frank Inquisitor: Education leads to intelligence which increases one’s chances of achieving a desired outcome in whatever field of study that may be. Why would education be the enemy in anything?

Mother Sayer: Everything that is good in this world can be tainted by mischievous people. As I stated a short time ago in this session, why would European countries believe that the continent of Africa want their unsolicited interference? The history books are glowing with how they taught them to read, write and worship a living God. Who invited them to chart the development of their societies?

Just because Europeans and Africans spoke and lived in different cultures and societies, who gave Europeans the right to interfere with Africa’s destiny? That’s the ‘arrogance of intelligence’ that is responsible for centuries of struggles of those same African countries to get back to what they were before the contamination of their societies by European interlopers.

D.D.O.: In sign language: That is not how history recorded Europe’s march into the African continent.

Mother Sayer: History is written by the victors right? Why would a more developed nation admit their country committed atrocities which probably destroyed discoveries, inventions and wonders the world could have been witnessed from these countries?

Frank Inquisitor: We’ll never know would we?

Mother Sayer: I’m not done yet. I haven’t explained what I mean by the ‘arrogance of ignorance’. This one’s a doozy. Who invented the ‘polio vaccine’?

Frank Inquisitor: Jonas Salk.

Mother Sayer: Anyone else helped him say like people of different races?

Frank Inquisitor: Where are you going with this? Time’s a passing.

Mother Sayer: Oh don’t worry about the clock. I know the owner. I hear she is quite feisty and direct. Besides this is one of my most enlightening sessions. I’ll speed it up in any case. If the polio disease was a major threat to America’s population why didn’t the government or the private sector push to have the best minds on it with dispatch?

D.D.O.: In sign language: Because America was in the throes of its’ arrogance. Hatred and exclusion ruled the day. America was single minded in its’ belief that only white people were smart enough to solve its’ problems. Oh, I see where you’re headed with this. I want to hear this myself.

Mother Sayer: Wouldn’t it have been better to pool the ‘intelligence’ of the entire population? Yes but nooo, the country was deep in the throes of ‘arrogant ignorance’. Purity must be adhered to no matter the cost. Polio was simply a cost of our ignorance which we’re willing to ring that register every time.

That’s not even the worst of that deeply held belief by millions of Americans. You wanna hear it?

Frank Inquisitor: Hear what?

Mother Sayer: Why America suffers from an ‘arrogance of ignorance’ problem?

Frank Inquisitor: Why does America suffer from an ignorance problem?

Mother Sayer: Part of staying ignorant is looking at how things was done in the past. How using that look back feature using a tech term if I may. It creates a reality that only certain people can discover and invent the things that enhances my life. Millions of white people possess this ‘arrogance of ignorance’, and they probably couldn’t tell you why they would never accept or submit to something that wasn’t created by people that don’t look like they do.

Frank Inquisitor: So you’re saying that if something more contagious or something more beneficial to support their health and well-being they would reject its’ existence or its’ advantages?

Mother Sayer: If God forbid a widely reported communicable disease were to spread throughout the world and our brightest scientists came up with a treatment to combat it, millions of people would not vaccinate themselves against it. The reason is they wouldn’t is right there in history. Ignorance is a right and the destructive part about ignorance is that the bulk of them don’t know why they’re ignorant!

The ARC Angel: C’mon, the answer is not that simple. There’s no way that millions of people are following some conditioning and they don’t even know why. It can’t be a real thing that millions of people would risk their lives because they believe others are inferior and couldn’t possibly think of proven therapies that would save their lives.

Mother Sayer: Okay. Tell me why elected officials at all levels of government hesitate to tell people the truth?

D.D.O.: In sign language: I got this question. They suffer from an all too common human emotion. They can’t withstand the negative blowback which as you say has altered their conditioning to not even bother with the truth. If the citizenry is content to be ignorant then let them be ignorant. I completely understand both your ‘arrogance of intelligence’ and your ‘arrogance of ignorance’ concepts.

Mother Sayer has drawn some interesting conclusions that should have all of us contemplating the depth by which both of those concepts contribute to ones’ decision making process. How could I’ve missed the connection is vexing me?

Mother Sayer: Many analogies could apply to both concepts. One that fits appropriately is if you throw an object into the sky even if you threw it straight up it will not land on its’ launching point. The ARC of conditioning never begins and ends with the creators of such things whether it be good or evil. The best thing to do if you don’t want the wrong conditioning to continue is when it comes back down to Earth is to drive it into the ground beneath your feet (metaphorically of course).

Epilogue:

(Must I say that session was extremely rewarding. I got to work out some slight doubt I felt creeping up on me from a direction of fire I couldn’t get an angle on to return fire. Stay out of arrogant intelligence and ignorance. The way she has done things is working. Finding people that have suffered hardships is true lining. Her company is solidifying itself in many industries and is now attracting people that want to be a part of a team, but also want the flexibility to chart a course to a fixed point formed in their heart long before walking through the doors of the ARC.

The ARC’s energy strings are almost visible now. I can feel them Mother likes to say although she may wish it was possible to see them. Maybe that day will come when she will be granted that wish to gaze upon the energy she has thrown to all her people and glare in awe as it dances in front of her face. Nobody should want people that believe their intelligence is beyond comprehension by those around them. Mother knows that she may fall in that trap herself if she tries to exclude them from working for her. A first impression is not everything. Whoever said that has destroyed a lot of good companies because the puzzle piece they needed might’ve just being discarded.

Mother has realized something that has also been discouraged in this life. ‘Elders’ is a term meant to impart wisdom on the young. She has embraced that spiritual edict wholeheartedly and every beating stride she will pump all she has into those around her that welcome it. It’s not enough to say you care. Faith and works could be the only matchup of the mind and body that spurs the progress of us all.).

Issue 15: On Notice

Hear ye Hear ye. Notice is given to all police officers, police union officials, and wanna be soulja boys that your actions from henceforth will forever be scrutinized. The go to crowd of White people that excuse your actions as ‘stressful’ and ‘impossible situations’ or the best of your worse is ‘split second’ decision are not to be ‘second guessed’ even when zero skill or professionalism was on display. None of you are the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or his Father the Almighty. It is certain in the heart of this Black man that none of you are the Judge, the Jury or the Executioner!

Back up. What happened in California where that little girl was murdered by that police officer is simple as far as I see it. First, where is the supervisor or who’s in charge? Second, if no supervisor is present who is capable of being accountable? Third, why am I saying this is because if nobody is in charge then the ‘cowboy complex’ or the ‘hero complex’ takes over the mind. Here I come to save the day right? No, nobody gets to say, ‘it’s a tough situation’ and it excuses a human life being taken. No a little girl, a ‘girl!’ was killed by a ‘hot shot’ police officer wanna be hero. Period!

I wrote a post about ‘How To Degrade An Organization’ a few years back which was obviously missed by a lot of these so called ‘advocates’ for the police. Let me see if I can apply it to the police specifically. So it is impossible for a police officer to think in a stressful situation. It is impossible for a police officer to visualize and realize the setting and account for all possible outcomes. A police officer should be allowed to come on the scene and just blast away devoid of discretion and the sanctity of human life. If this is the case then the only conclusion I can make is that every police officer is either a ‘Bubba Whiskey Still’ or ‘Soulja Boy’. Bubba cop wearing filthy shorts and no shirt spitting chewing tobacco as he blasts away. Soulja Boy with his pants down showing his ass with his gold grill and ball cap cocked to the side of his head shooting his gun sideways.

If it was me and I wanted police officers to be thought of as highly skilled with keen discretion that errs always on the side of saving lives, I would be completely disgusted by an advocate portraying ‘the job’ as impossible to perform. That tells the general public which is everybody that every police officer wearing the uniform is a threat to every citizen. I’m not going to ‘advocate’ running away as fast as you can when the police arrive at a crime scene yet, but I’m going to seriously advise everyone to leave the area or seek adequate cover. All their ‘advocates’ will ask in the same breath for forgiveness and glory for the total inability to perform their duties by some or no reasonable standard of skill and professionalism. Just praise the police simply for the choice they made to be a police officer. Here’s a contrast.

One of my two tours in Afghanistan I was TC or Truck Commander. We were delivering supplies to FOB’s or Forward Operating Bases. We contracted with a local to haul one of our combat vehicles. Long story short our vehicle was way too heavy, so we had to halt and pull security. Well a civilian fired off a round and all the Afghans scattered. Do you know what the rest of us did? Every soldier acted professionally. We scanned our sectors and saw that the incident was the actions of a lone person trying to get us to shoot widely into the crowds gathered around us. Every soldier is trained extensively, and officers and sergeants give orders! No soldier goes off halfcocked and starts killing people!

My heart dropped when the Afghans scattered because I knew they were scared of being killed. My heart did rise again immediately when no American soldier fired into the crowd! Yes we were able with the help of a wrecker from the FOB to stabilize the vehicle so the contractor could pull his woefully inferior trailer out from under our property. We completed our mission, and everybody returned to home base. As a United States Army soldier I would be insulted if someone made a case that I couldn’t determine or account for all outcomes before firing my weapon at an enemy. Yeah, that’s right, I’m talking about killing a fellow soldier while trying to kill the enemy. You don’t git metals for displaying an utter lack of skill and failure!

I’m going to coin a term or co-sign a term of ‘Police Privilege’. Police privilege is the privilege of doing whatever in the name of the law void of skill, discretion and professionalism while not being subject to scrutiny or accountability. This police wagon circling has even degraded the United States Supreme Court. How? Qualified Immunity is defined as securing the protection of highly educated U.S. Supreme Court justices by making them believe that unaccountability is required in the performance of police work and police work exclusively. That haphazard and slipshod performance should be protected by the reputation, organization and prestige of the highest court in America.

My loyal readers this is me pulling punches. If I keep hearing about how police work or any honorable work cannot be done unless someone is killed in the process I’m going to drop an aircraft carrier on that person’s words. An inability to do a job shouldn’t be commendable. That ain’t right. Rest well little girl. Your life meant everything to your parents and to those of us that value the rule of law righteously.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 54 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 6: What Do You Think of Me?

Good question to which I will do my best to render a good answer. First out the gate let me address the attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris. When you’re the first anything the attacks will come in waves. To everybody capable of reviewing the history of America honestly we resign ourselves to the fact that those kept out of power will get the ‘business’ (this is slang for trouble and hatred in case you’re not following) relentlessly once they get it. The Black guy before this last buffoon that occupied the Presidency of the United States got it worse.

Now there is a Black Woman occupying the office of Vice President. Let me see a show of hands who thought those who’ve had power by virtue of their skin color would say it was bound to happen? None? Put your hand down! There is such a phenomenon that perpetuated that myth. It’s called White privilege. The Vice President can handle all the fiery darts thrown at her. She is the first woman in that seat and if you ask me I would tell her to be fair but firm. I would run it like a woman should raise her kids. I’d make decisions with full awareness that everyone will question them because they will. ‘You gave him more potato chips than me’. ‘Her dress is prettier than mine’. ‘Why does he get to go to the store by himself and I can’t’. Oh, you saw what I did there. Vice President Harris should do what she knows how to do. All the rest of that crap being said about her I’d say this learned growing up Black. ‘Just let em talk.’

Now to the police departments in America faced with ridicule and scorn. Didn’t you do it to yourselves? What official report was presented in lieu of the truth about what that police officer did to George Floyd? Of course. What did the police do when they were called by that store clerk in reference to Elijah McClain? Stop for second. Let me tell you what I would’ve done if I were the police officer or dispatcher that received that call. “Sir or ma’am let me get what crime or suspicious behavior correct that you’re calling us about. Now this person perused the store and selected items for purchase? Yes (clerk). Did this person come to the counter there and pay with legal United States tender? Yes (clerk). So the reason you’re calling me is that he had a face covering when he paid for his items. Yes (clerk). Did this person say or display a weapon or make a move toward you in any manner considered threatening? No (clerk).

Okay sir or ma’am, what you’ve just told me is not a reason to call the police. My advice to you is your mischievous nature will be reaped by you one day. Don’t call the police again for a normal daily transaction of your store business. Goodbye (click).” That’s what a professional police officer or dispatcher would do with such a malevolent person. Not go find somebody that went about a normal transaction of goods and services that occurs millions if not billions of times a day in America and kill them! We shouldn’t think of police as KLONDIKE KOPS? So the citizenry should celebrate the unprofessional, inept, clownish, lack of good judgment and utter contempt the police has for the citizens of this country. Yeah, I know we should just always give them respect and never hold them accountable. Hasn’t that mentality been the problem all along?

I’m curious to the extent they will sully the 14-year old girl who was killed recently in California by that police force. I’m sure they will probably bring up her truancy record. Probably report that she yelled at her mother. Oh, this is a good one. The police will probably say she got a ticket for jaywalking. The police will try to bring up everything they can to excuse the totally unprofessional and complete lack of discretion and skill of that police officer that killed her. I didn’t know it was okay for the police to fire their weapons blindly into a known establishment citizens frequent. What am I saying? I’m U.S. Army and in none of my training was I taught to fire my weapon before I had PID (Positive Identification).

Brothers I warn you not to try and justify that officer’s actions as according to policy or police training. Save a little face because once you make such a claim of professionalism you will further erode the standing that department has. If you thought people scorned the police before try and tell them that police officer was justified in killing that little girl. A little advice for police departments everywhere. Train your people to continuously think in stressful moments. My tours in combat zones and my years in mental health can attest to what I’ve told you. Got to keep thinking. If you can’t do that then you don’t belong in a high stress job.

What I think of you is how you wish to be viewed. I don’t call somebody that is lying to my face the champion of God. I don’t give the benefit of the doubt to anyone spouting hatred from whatever medium. Lastly, I certainly don’t give piety to a so-called preacher in a so-called church that can’t tell the truth because of political considerations. Every day I get to either reinforce who I am or turn away from the virtues that guide me. To be clear, that ‘face in the water is easily forgotten’.

POLITICAL THEATER

POLITICAL THEATER

Article 4: Equality Is?

How should I address in writing all my thoughts on the subjects of Politics, Marxism, Critical Race Theory and God? Let me give it some ‘Solomon’ wisdom and see if I can make enough sense of it if only for myself. I’ll start with Marxism. Marxism seems to be a dirty and somewhat loaded word Republicans like to throw around. Marxism’s basic principle is that a society should be classless. A classless society would then have rules in place where all the people would be equally cared for, and burdens would be shared. This would result in few if any rich people. Of course Marxism is a political philosophy developed by a man and like with all human beings having flaws the concept has flaws.

Secondly I’ll bring in God. His word in 2 Corinthians 8: vs 13-15…’For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, HE THAT HAD GATHERED MUCH HAD NOTHING OVER; AND HE THAT HAD GATHERED LITTLE HAD NO LACK.’ Now I know Republicans and so-called evangelicals don’t like hearing about ‘loving thy neighbor as thyself’. They probably mean only white people because they have so much history helping out Black people who’ve been enslaved and oppressed in America. Oh, I forgot this part. Pretend hatred isn’t real because the guy that’s preaching the sermon in so-called church only removed his hood before he stepped into the pulpit.

Now to Critical Race Theory. There’s those Republicans again trying to align the shameful guilt they have for what their ancestors did while ignoring the shameful things white people are doing in replacing those behaviors. I said it before. Hatred never dies if it brings coin! Republicans have always wielded this dark weapon. The only difference now is they are being exposed and it makes them mad being called on it. I’m so sorry, wait, let me wipe my crocodile tears Republicans, that Black people are now telling the truth about what was done and still being done to us. Studying how hatred is kept alive is fascinating. By that I mean that some human beings still look the other way while others suffer horribly. Do some people really believe no harm is done putting Black children in jail because they act out in school?

Redlining neighborhoods to keep Black people from owning homes has effects on physical and mental health. Not residing in the place of one’s affordable desires lessens joy, serenity and diminishes achievements. Knowing that the police force allows men and women with hatred in their heart to police people of color is one thing but protecting them tells every true God fearing Christian that police department is unjust. That truth telling is what has kept Black people sane and hopeful. Black people just cock their heads sideways and watch how those people who don’t want to know what’s going on twist themselves in knots trying not to believe the truth. Critical Race Theory is therapy for Black people because we want to know what went on and what’s going on, and my oh my how we call it like we see it.

Now to Politics. I told you once and I’ll say it again. Senator Joe Manchin is inside the chocolate factory, and he intends to keep the door closed behind him. He lives a lavish lifestyle because of government service. He didn’t make his money in the private sector. He didn’t purchase that boat from business revenue. It’s funny that he said he couldn’t take it home to the residents of West Virginia because they would not have supported his yes vote for Build Back Better. I’ll let someone else call up the abject poverty in his state, but who cares as long as he is good which is all he see when he looks in the mirror. It is still wrong to profit from people that believe their vote keeps government benefits away from ‘those’ people. Just because they vote Republican doesn’t mean you let them suffer. I suppose it’s the American way. Supreme Court Associate Justice Gorsuch didn’t turn down a chance to be on the U.S. Supreme Court even if his seat was stolen from someone else. I so dislike when I answer my own question.

Inflation? Really? Inflation is good when it holds and locks in higher wages. Grow up people. Now to all the people paying ‘inflated’ prices for used cars. You’re all idiots! Stop doing that right now! Don’t let me come back here and say it again. More urgent matters need my attention. Look. I’ve not been able to buy this brand of cheese I like. I’ve cut back on T-bone and rib eyes. I’ve gone back to combining errands. I currently need a new dishwasher. I will wait until I encounter the price I want. Don’t stop buying the necessities like food, clothing and paying your bills. Just support the economy smartly for your household and wait for those things like cars and whatnots that have been ‘jacked up’ to return to normal price points.

This is for all the so-called evangelicals that act in ways that don’t reflect what’s in the Holy Bible. Some wisdom to help your Republican friends see the error of their ways. Ecclesiastes 5:9…’Moreover the profit of the Earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.’ I guess that’s why God’s word didn’t align with the beliefs of these so-called churches in the south huh? I’ll say it. With Republican orthodoxy it can be said that God is Marxist. Funny how people can craft their own religion when the teaching and life of Jesus Christ don’t align with their values. Probably why these Republicans whip up hatred so quickly to distract their followers. By the way their followers will have their day before God as well. Wouldn’t want to stand before God and say somebody told me to destroy democracy. Hope 30 pieces of silver was worth it.

Equality goes a long way and touches all of us the same. It just faces many cruel objectors.

Issue 14: Honesty is Refreshing!

Where I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama there were people, racist white supremacists that showed their true colors to you with open hostility. There were white people that behaved as spectators as the hatred committed toward and on Black people piled up. Then there were white people that used their imaginations to replace what was happening before their eyes into something they could reason away to soothe their guilt. A guilt that these white so-called church going people could claim before their idol God that it wasn’t their place to say something or do something to help stop it.

‘INDOCTRINATION’ is the word of the day. I’m not going to record Webster’s Dictionary in this digital post, but in general it means ‘to hear, see, or feel something being taught around you and internalize it’. For example, there are many professionals in media that fume, huff and puff and mourn the loss of integrity and morality in America’s society. I would beg to differ if there ever was any moral superiority. America’s citizens have been conditioned to ignore atrocities committed against an entire race of human beings. Human beings such as Native Americans and those of African descent. Japanese Americans rounded up into internment camps out of nothing more than fear and hatred. Chinese Americans and poor White Americans for the sake of milking every drop of blood to complete a railroad.

White people were and still possess the same conditioning that led them streaming from their so-called churches to ravenously participate in the mutilation of Black men. Gleefully severing their penises and testicles as they then praised their divine idol God for giving them the blessing to hang a Black man from a tree by the neck until dead. What makes anyone of sound mind living today void of the ability to sense the correlation in what White people are doing now? Denying the right to vote? The majority of these so-called evangelicals will claim blindness even if they have 4-eyes. The majority white state legislators writing laws granting the freedom to carry a gun to anyone no training or lawful purpose required.

Can most of you see where I’m going with this. Yeah the denial of systemic racism when it still prevails today, and it gathers strength by new forms of it locking said racism in place forever. Don’t you get it? Wait a moment before I move on from this. Every time somebody compares the Holocaust the Jewish people suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany to anything is blasphemous! Their intent is to continue to chip away at the disgust and utter failure of humanity to stop itself in those undeniable moments. If they can succeed in belittling these tragedies then these morally bankrupt people can then excuse the next atrocity saying no one spoke up to tell them they are wrong!

Why do you think local, state and federal legislators haven’t successfully stopped the slaughter of our children? Think about that a minute. Our children are being traumatized every day with the threat of gun violence in school. School I’m talking about! In school! Their mental health faces this onslaught with seemingly no letup in sight. All the while our legislators hum and haw about the right to bear arms being absolute, and furthermore they thumb their nose creating new laws that guarantee some of them won’t make it home from school one day.

America, do you feel indoctrinated now? The news of children being killed nary furls an eyebrow anymore does it? Just like Black people being mutilated meant nothing more to so-called Christians than picking food from their teeth. Yes, to your thought. I’m always ecstatic to inform so-called Christians that there are only two sides in this great war. Good and evil. Revelation 3:16, ‘So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth’. I’m laughing at all those souls on their way to Hell for standing by while all the atrocities in the history of humankind were committed in their name.

That’s the Nazi military’s doing. It doesn’t matter that all the gold in those vaults came from the skulls of dead Jews. What do I care I’m minding my own business right? It doesn’t matter that White men were raping little Black girls to repopulate their stocks, or a better term would be ‘labor camps’. It doesn’t matter I get to always be served first at the lunch counter, the bakery, the store, and I always will ride in the front of the bus. It doesn’t matter I’m indifference toward the injustice Black people suffer constantly. I still find peace when I venture outside my home. I can lie on Black people anytime I want because I’m White and I’ll always be believed without question.

White people don’t have to call up their training anymore. When indoctrination sets in that’s all she wrote. I’ll reserve my ‘told you so’s’ about the United States Supreme Court until after they do what any sane person believes they will do about women’s rights next year. I will say this though. By what higher authority do they consult for their rulings? I know it can’t be their so-called religious beliefs because I’ve discredited all of them. The so-called churches in this country couldn’t advise rain on where the ground is located. So, by ‘what’ will we respect the judgment of their rulings?

Indoctrination works both ways and both sides. Good and evil. Maybe humanity should choose a side. Or not. Oh, I get it. Neutrality’s imaginary acceptance by ‘good minded peacemakers’ has a verifiable history of favorable outcomes. Not! Imagine me wanting to hurl (digested food in this instance) right now. Good vs. Evil is how all confusion is solved. By ‘Good’ I mean choosing to be so regardless of how it lands on someone. It also means you can’t hedge your bets and depending on blowback you’re willing to yield to evil and hatred for power. If you yield, then as I said before go collect your 30 pieces of silver because your betrayal is no less than Judas Iscariot’s.

MOTHER Se’MAY SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME SEASON II

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode Six: Project ‘MODEL’

Part Three: Privilege and Ambition

Prologue:

(What is with me? Is it my responsibility because I hold power? Why has this fallen to me to teach others what they do not know? I know the answer to my own questions, but I need to speak the questions out loud as a reminder to be humble in the trust God has bestowed upon me. What is one of my responsibilities in this world he said? Singular learning and the search for the unknown is one part of the trinity of retaining knowledge. A more vital indicator of learning is do you have the ability to interpret what your eyes perceive. Simply put. Can you watch how others display their skills and abilities and to the best of what’s in you mimic how they do it.

Mr. Ableman Sayer showed me how it’s done just as much as he talked with me about how it’s done. Now at some point I got to start putting things together in places of my life through utilizing the knowledge I’ve acquired. Knowledge is useless unapplied. It’s just like collecting all the ingredients to bake a cake, but you don’t know in what order to add them in the mix. Also to stop believing or chasing some ideal representation of my life and live the life I’ve created for myself. It is enough to be content in who I am and also to strive to be a better person each day.

That’s deep. I need to incorporate that into my last review of Oakli’s project. It will take finesse and tenacity to which I may not be able to accomplish either of those nouns in the context of what I’m seeking out of her. Well, I’ll just have to press forward and hope she is capable of understanding what I’m doing and the standing I want the ARC to represent in business and every community.).

Oakli Sands: I don’t need to fight for my standing in this country.

Mother Sayer: You have never spoken a truer statement since your employment at the ARC. Although we’re going to take a deeper dive into the meaning of what your privilege means for you and what you’ve actually gained by possessing it.

——————-1^st Interlude——————-

(What transpired in Mother’s critique of Oakli’s presentation that made her rear her head and respond to Mother so forcefully? Mother needs Oakli to understand the importance of what she possesses and what she lacks for this project to truly fulfill her requirements. The Model Project is more than just mentoring young people and adults to locate their strengths and pursue what makes them stronger. More important pieces of ‘Model’ is to create success not only for yourself in what you know, but also to encourage growth and expansion in those taught by this program.

How can I say this? The Model Project seeks to establish a person’s credentials not just in the short term. It is meant to establish a person as a source of expertise and wisdom. It is not enough for one to know something. It is more profitable to think of oneself as a tree with branches reaching for the sky. Mother to her credit doesn’t like wasting time. She went at Oakli no matter her pedigree. Let’s continue with the dismantling of Oakli’s idea of ‘Model’ and Mother’s vision of the potential this project holds.).

Oakli Sands: The Model Project has a specific target group. Those that exhibit a certain aptitude for personal expression. People that don’t look to follow the crowd.

Mother Sayer: Yes yes I know the prevailing entrepreneurial happy talk. Tell me how this project can be scaled up to meet the kind of numbers needed to be successful?

Oakli Sands: Finding them will account for the bulk of the cost of this project, but the return on investment will more than cover those expenses.

Mother Sayer: What psychological tools will you use to qualify the raw recruits?

Oakli Sands: There are psychiatrists and therapists on staff to ‘point’ those that qualify in the right direction.

Mother Sayer: Glad you have a plan to use them. What about ambition?

Oakli Sands: Ambition?

Mother Sayer: Yes Oakli, ambition. Quite frankly privilege is. Well privilege is something the ones who came before you established in your name. I want to know what else is available to you when your name fails to carry the day?

Oakli Sands: I graduated from Columbia which is one of the best colleges in America. My last name adorns the fifty million dollar sports rehabilitation complex. Earning my way isn’t written anywhere on my resume.

Mother Sayer: (This white girl is unrefined good. Let’s instruct her in what she’s missing from a master player.). Oh so you think that the position you now hold was something of an expectation here at the ARC?

Oakli Sands: Do I have an expectation of power and influence if that is what you mean. Then that is correct.

Mother Sayer: First we seem to be a little off track here and that is my fault. I should have explained to you why you’re here in the first place. My human resources department doesn’t operate by some standard mechanics of locating qualified candidates for open jobs. My staff collaborates in unison by pouring over each potential hire by their strengths and weaknesses of all potential hires.

Thereby the recruiting process fills in the gaps of each hire and thus strengthens the ARC as a whole. It can be said my company is constructed according to a blueprint of hiring sound people that will maintain the structure of the whole. The ARC is made up of a diverse pool of highly qualified people. People that want to fulfill the role laid out for them.

Now leaders at the ARC will tell you if you ask them that a red carpet was never rolled out for them when they came on board here. A resume is an introduction. That’s all it is. What talents you possess will come to the surface as they have. Let me tell you what I see so far.

Oakli Sands: What you’ve seen? This is the first meeting with you about this project. What could you possibly know about my talent or skills for that matter?

Mother Sayer: Grooming is impeccable. Clothing tends toward high end designers and obviously your salary here couldn’t begin to cover the costs. Where the disconnect is the image and presence doesn’t match.

Oakli Sands: I dress better than most because I have a name that demands it. Most people wouldn’t understand that, and it looks like that includes you.

Mother Sayer: An image is dull without the ‘presence’ for complete clarity. Presence in this sense of the word means all parts of how you want to be seen should be fully developed. Mind, thoughts, projection of certainty and outward image should be unified. What I perceive from you is you are nowhere near a finished product.

Oakli Sands: My name tells me I’m a finished product.

Mother Sayer: Thus lies the corrosive nature of privilege. (Mother said this sentence slowly for full effect.).

Oakli Sands: Are you here to punish me somehow for the pedigree I was born under? Why are you coming after me like this?

Mother Sayer: Like what?

Oakli Sands: I was hired by you to do a job and I understood that to mean that my background had a lot to do with it. My name very much got me in the door and my name has added to your bottom line. I’ll give some credence to an unproven commodity being assigned a value just as a precious metal or a gem, but my last name is worth billions. I don’t need someone barking at the top of their lungs in the hope that my qualifications go to the highest bidder.

Mother Sayer: Now we’re getting somewhere. Privilege got you an interview, but where you stand at the ARC is my call. Granted we got off to a spirited start with your presentation, but I’m curious as to who would be your target for the purpose of this project?

Oakli Sands: Well I think it can be marketed to all races of people.

Mother Sayer: What would it look like for Blacks, Asians, and Mexicans? How would you approach those demographics? What materials would you use that would relate to the struggles in their communities and help them achieve success?

Oakli Sands: Well the Asians don’t need assistance as they are a very smart race of people.

Mother Sayer: Wrong. Asians are scattered throughout the world. They live in societies that are both restrictive and relatively free. In America they are laden with stereotypes almost as worrisome as Black people are. Violence has to be accounted for and it plagues their lives just as much or more as other people of color. If you don’t know anything about them how and why would they answer your call with brochures graced with white faces?

Oakli Sands: I wouldn’t have a one size fits all marketing strategy. I would lean heavily on my team for insight and understanding as I created the materials to launch this project.

Mother Sayer: Oh good let’s look at your team. Mr. Poff is your residence Black guy and second in command. Ms. Wizeria is your Asian staff member spearheading your marketing team. Janella is your Black assistant. Mazhaes is your Mexican coherence artist in charge of fitting all the moving parts together. The rest of your staff consists of ambitious men and women of diverse backgrounds ready to help flesh out all ideas and make them work or discard them.

Oakli Sands: My staff is known to you I see. What don’t you know about this project?

Mother Sayer: My knowledge over my entire operation is enough to set expectations. My intent is to make everyone aware of the vision I have for the ARC. After that my duty is to know what’s going on under my command at all times. Not in the ways that people think. I am here to place trust in the leadership layers and hold those direct leaders accountable. Due diligence is part of my organizational principles.

Oakli Sands: I know what I’m doing, and I don’t need anyone looking over my shoulder approving every decision I make.

Mother Sayer: That’s amateur hour. What you just said and the way you said it sounds like amateur hour. Reason why privilege is corrosive and ultimately counterproductive. You really think that I would overlay the skills, character traits and more importantly a diverse background from knowing people that don’t look like you. What assistance can your people offer you? I’m sorry, but my imagination is clearly lacking in how well you know your people.

Oakli Sands: I did graduate at the top of my class.

Mother Sayer: I know. (Mother motions her right hand to Sarah W. Certainty for the file on Oakli. She opens it and skims the contents.). Ninety-seven percent of your class was White. A member of Delta Gamma it says here and I’m sure you organized the Greekwide Fashion Show. Care to explain how you came to be put in charge of that your first year? Don’t worry, I’m sure the sorority knew about your family name.

Oakli Sands: How did you know about that? I don’t like my history being perused.

Mother Sayer: The second mistake you’ve made in your back and forth with me. Again, amateur hour which is becoming tiresome. Let me speak about ‘ambition’ for a while as your entire team is present. When you don’t possess things that can make a life more enjoyable and stress free it tends to light a fire underneath your pants to get it.

My father taught me something very valuable amongst all his lessons. There are people on this Earth that start with nothing and achieve greatness. There are people on this Earth also that start with much and also achieve greatness. Why I asked him? My father said it is the responsibility of the person being taught to choose to achieve greatness. There will be some that have no need of anything because they were fortunate to be born into it. Their ambition usually dies as they look upon all they have.

The ones born into nothing it keys up their desire daily for the opportunity to achieve greatness because if they don’t do it chances are it will never happen. Ambition is the fire that burns away all fear and doubt. Why? Because their ground is charred and barren. Ambition makes that person renew that soil so it can be watered and seeded for the time when the harvest must come. This belief drives a person to one day see their field burst through and grasp for the sky.

Oakli Sands: That’s a good metaphorical and philosophical story Mother. It was even laced with catchy emotional content. How can ambition trump privilege. In my world having is better than not having.

Mother Sayer: Privilege is really like a leech. Sure you had requirements to meet set by your parents in order to stay inside the chocolate factory, but those achievements were bestowed upon you and frankly easily obtainable. Let me ask you something. What was on your mind daily growing up knowing you didn’t have a want for nothing?

Oakli Sands: I didn’t need to think about where or who I owed my good fortune if that’s what you’re getting at.

Mother Sayer: Exactly! Now you’re engaging with me on a cerebral level. What happened to you when you became aware you were inside the gates of privilege is this. Nothing you did would ever exclude or revoke your membership. Worrying about how you would pay for college never crossed your mind nor a doubt about attending the college of your choice.

Oakli Sands: Mostly true are all your observations, but my parents did require me to keep the family tradition of attending their alma Mater Columbia.

Mother Sayer: Good. Now compare the success of a hypothetical person that wasn’t fortunate to begin life under the conditions proven helpful let’s say for you. There are a lot of challenges that person would have to overcome just to even have a shot at a good life.

Oakli Sands: Oh please, don’t lay out a guilt trip scenario for me. We give to charity.

Mother Sayer: Who gives to charity?

Oakli Sands: My family does.

Mother Sayer: Right. Now looking at this ‘person’ beginning a quest for success probably has parallels to some members of your team. Have you gotten to know any of them outside of work? Have you heard their stories?

Oakli Sands: I have my own circle of friends, and as you’ve mentioned it before I don’t think their money is, how do you say it as ‘long’ as mine.

Mother Sayer: Mr. Poff is a former government official from South Africa. Ms. Wizeria is impressive. I found her working in her family’s restaurant waiting tables and doing the books. Janella comes from a fine family. It was just her and her mother for the longest time. She reminds me of that first time I ate her grandmothers’ cooking. You have to have seconds and I made sure to bring her through my doors.

Mazhaes methodical mind is crucial for a project like this. He knows how to combine all the parts to give your project purpose. Something easily explainable, credible and achievable. Why do I know more about them than you do you may be thinking? Because I possess ambition.

Oakli Sands: Can you make what you just said make sense to me?

Mother Sayer: Gladly my dear. Let’s lay our cards on the table. I did use my father’s money to start the ARC. That wasn’t the end though. It could have been because I could legitimately say I made something of myself even if it was with a loan from my dad. That’s the trap. I was successfully living a dream. My father taught me much, but the ambition I had to plant, water and grow.

Let me take a sidetrack a minute. Indulge me if you will. Maybe growing up in a two parent home where money was never an issue wasn’t beneficial for you.

Oakli Sands: I never lived in a fairy tale if that is where you’re going with this.

Mother Sayer: (Mother guesses she means there was extramarital stress in the family which is common in people with money and nobody there that can say no they can’t have want they desire.). How we start in life and the lessons we get or more in your case didn’t get in the home has bearing on personal behaviors. How thoughts are gathered and where personal choices are directed. Believe it or not. Sometimes the best representation of a family is not the two parent home.

Oakli Sands: So because I had a mother and a father in the home I’m somewhat skewed in my assessment of the reality around me. I choose the people I’m comfortable around. I work here and that’s it.

Mother Sayer: I will repeat the words you’ve just expressed. “I choose who I spend my time with. I am comfortable with the sort of people I’ve known all my life. This is where I work and that’s where I keep it.” All that said. What about you qualifies you to lead this team without knowing anything about them? How do you know where to place them or assignments that coincide with their strengths and abilities?

Oakli Sands: I’m not following what you’re doing here. Am I not in charge of my team? Yes or no?

Mother Sayer: (Before Mother answers she looks out the corner of her eye to see Sarah W. Certainty keenly focused and piling questions mentally ready to shoot her way when she finishes with Oakli.). Oakli, let’s first get something straight. I will say this as calmly as I can. When you sign paychecks here then you can be completely in charge of your team. Truly, your last name can open doors for you, but once inside what do you have going for you?

Oakli Sands: I don’t need to have a lot going for me. As I said my name opens doors for me and they are shut once I enter the room.

Mother Sayer: Sweetheart ‘your’ legacy is not the legacy of your last name. You can’t take credit for what someone else did. That’s not how life works at least where I come from.

Oakli Sands: It is enough where I come from. It’s been that way since I can remember around my house. There are people that would eat shit and kiss my parents asses to do business with my family.

Mother Sayer: I’d say that’s true, but at what cost to the business? What if I told you that even with great fortunes lies the potential for all of it to end up on the pile of forgotten empires. What about Kmart, Zayres, Woolworth, Sear & Roebuck and Blockbuster Video for that matter? All names of great companies that lie under the rubble of their laurels.

Oakli Sands: My family wouldn’t let that happen.

Mother Sayer: Why because they are so great at ordering people around while letting their children and grandchildren grab as much of the goods as they can before it’s all gone.

Oakli Sands: We don’t fight and steal from each other like some people do.

Mother Sayer: Oh, a dog whistle. Even if you believe the stories painted by the media for over a hundred years thankfully most if not all of their newspapers are on the pile of squandered empires. They can’t write a good enough story about how water is wet anymore to get anybody to buy a paper.

Oakli Sands: I believe they still have their money though.

Mother Sayer: The money they did manage to hide in complicated trust funds. Their businesses no longer bring clout to their names. The doors they only allowed their inner circle through no longer grants them entry.

Oakli Sands: What do you want from me? How many times I’ve got to ask that. Tell me why I’m here?

Mother Sayer: Honestly? I brought you on board to see if you could help yourself. Your team is quite capable of creating a mentoring program that reaches all races and cultures. The position you hold is simply a figurehead which represents how much respect and honor you’ve given it. Leadership is something you should learn or not.

Oakli Sands: Am I in charge?

Mother Sayer: Goodness I never said you weren’t. That’s another thing you have to work on. Being sensitive about qualities you lack being pointed out doesn’t help you any. Finally, I believe you have potential, but it isn’t the potential you claim you possess. Have a story for me to review in 30 days targeting the Black, White and Hispanic communities. We’ll increase our outreach once those branches are pointing toward the Sun.

Oakli Sands: I’m supposed to get to work now?

Mother Sayer: Absolutely. Tuaole I’m finished with Ms. Sands.

——————-2^nd Interlude——————-

(Mother feels the intensity of Sarah’s massing energy that remains contained but ready to explode as soon as possible. She needs to get it out now. Mother quickly moves through the outer doors to the last offices on the floor and stops in the circular areas where Tuaole controls the flow of visitors and workers on the third floor. Mother goes into the break room and allows Sarah to get what’s on her mind out into the open.).

Sarah W. Certainty: You pulled your punches with Oakli. Why?

Mother Sayer: Why do you think that? (She briefly looks at Sarah expecting her to answer. When she doesn’t Mother knows this is a special one.). Very good. I thought you had a fully refined sense of attentiveness. That skill set can only be found in the most focused of people. I have to guess you had to pay attention in a home provided for by the criminal underworld.

It is true. I did pull my punches with Oakli. Leadership should never have a tool in the bag that serves a destructive purpose. It is counterproductive because everyone gives a contribution. That should always be the place in a leaders’ heart that starts every eventual success.

Also I’ve learned something on my own which I’ve spent years weaving it in the very blood of my life. “Pack properly for every journey”. It is a variation of the Army’s soldier level readiness for deployment. “Check your gear to protect your rear”. My understanding isn’t confined to the issues of today. I find myself contemplating how life would have been in America if she utilized all her resources from the get go.

Sarah W. Certainty: I trust your father laid the foundation of your understanding, but you are the one who had to put up the walls and the roof.

Mother Sayer: Well said Sarah, I must assimilate that into my thought processes. My father along with your father and mother were a great blessing we have realized now more so than when we were little. We now realize if it’s even possible the magnitude of the ‘training up’ they gave us. I know I haven’t mentioned my mother a lot when we talk, but she did teach me about woman stuff. The bulk of who I am though did come from a man that doesn’t share my DNA. Mr. Sayer and I share something more precious. Blood. Adoptive blood of which I believe is the strongest blood there is.

Sarah W. Certainty: I have a good idea of what you mean by that. It seems the men around my father barring an underworld title for them did relate to him like a father or big brother. That I believe is what held his henchmen loyal. I know it sounds like a warped sense of trust and love, but I’ve seen his men die for him and my father provide for the children and wives they left behind.

Mother Sayer: That’s right Sarah. Besides what would I gain from humiliating someone anyone? It doesn’t make sense to me. I’m already in charge. My purpose is known to me. I know what I want from my people. How about me as the leader try to draw that out of them instead of bleeding off energy to emotional or fruitless zoom in on their unrefined and uncultivated skills.

I didn’t start my company with my father’s money to practice stupidity which serves in the end the creation of a vindictive leader. Seeing with my own eyes the blowback from embarrassing your people led to the downfall of many in command. Besides believing you’re untouchable or indispensable is counterproductive.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, always keep your emotions in check?

Mother Sayer: Yes and to answer the question at the tip of your tongue I did come down harder on O’Woh. O’Woh spent too much time in my assessment succeeding while in the wrong. Can a person make money doing criminal acts? Sure. Does privilege have some of the same underlying qualities? Dam right they do. The lies and thievery of privilege demands you ignore discovering what skills, qualities, desires and purpose your life holds.

Resting on the laurels of something you didn’t create is like wearing blinders while obnoxiously rebuking all the things life is screaming you must possess.

Sarah W. Certainty: So you’re saying that Oakli isn’t grasping the magnitude of what she is lacking which eventually that lack of cultural competence will contribute to her undoing?

Mother Sayer: Right. Here’s another life skill which I know for you must be tiring to hear so many of them. Just because you’ve done something, said something, or believe in something doesn’t mean someone else has to understand why you believe it is right. Some people and I was one of them until I pulled my head out of my ass believe that everybody understands the meaning of your words.

Because you said it doesn’t make it so! Besides I bet if we took a long look at the history of humankind every time period and every act of tragedy and atrocity started with someone thinking they were better than someone else. From that degrading of human beings or classification of human beings’ evil crept in through that opening. “Hatred has hung out its’ shingle and he continues to get a constant flow of customers every day.”

Sarah W. Certainty: Why let Oakli stay on then if you believe she looks down on her team?

Mother Sayer: I know I could be treading on shaky ground trying to ‘enlighten’ her to what many perceive her as behaving like everyone is beneath her. Actually I’m counting on her team to not let her treat them with anything less than total respect.

Sarah W. Certainty: My mother would say if you’re cooking Ribollita I hope you sure treated your servants right. It’s a dish from a time when slaves were servants and nothing off the table was thrown away.

Mother Sayer: I love the Italian culture. Everything has meaning which is what I’m trying to reestablish for Black people with the stories my teams are developing. I believe that the First Father meant for it to be this way. Different cultures would come together and share stories about what makes their lives so rich. These false substitutes of privilege, money and Christian tomfoolery has devalued all of us.

I’m going to bring this about Sarah. Nothing is going to stop me.

Epilogue:

(Mother feels like she planned for the worst and came out those three meetings more mentally determined to make her projects the standards across all those industries. What most pleased her is that she held firm to her purpose. Teaching and strengthening your people must be the standard. Staying committed to her mission statement shows discipline and Mother feels even General Tholodious would be pleased with her command of her team.

Sarah is now like a daughter to me holding my skirt as I lead her to and from every lesson she must learn. It is quite pleasing to have an adult female listening to another adult female and becoming better for it. I will not besmirch her in any way Mother tells herself. Everyone expects the same behavior from me every day and I will not act out of character. I’ve chosen this way to be, and I will be that way until I die.

Show them better than you can tell them Mother thinks to herself.).

COLORED PEOPLE

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 13: How do you convince HATRED face to face across a table to sign a CEASE FIRE

AGREEMENT?

Oh no no no no no no, I did not say surrender. I may roll over the possible cessation of hostilities between good and evil, but that would require evil to halt all forms to include all forms and manifestations of it. Racism, discrimination, prejudice and basically all forms of ignorance in a feeble attempt to show which race is superior in defiance of Almighty God. Please stop this foolish talk about not seeing RACE. We are God’s creation. Are you saying he errored in diversity? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves or distracted because we have a lot to cover so let’s get started.

Think about this a minute. Every treaty, armistice or formal cease fire agreement to end conflict has specific duties and conditions each side must meet for the agreement to remain in force. Why is it then in that conflict for hundreds of years in America the onus has always fallen on the people being oppressed to say, do and believe nice things about their oppressors? Black people and all people of color should never point to all the evil committed against them in order to make white people feel good about their leaders never challenging the evil their people feed off of every day. Why?

Please correct me if my eyes are lying to me because I see new groups of white militia forming seemingly every month if not every day. I watched a show where a well known man said that Democrats should acknowledge that there has been progress on race relations. Let me tell you where that image falls under the title of make believe. It doesn’t work like that. One side can’t declare good has come because I feel good about a Black President being elected. The side, the side of White people, must corral their white power groups and put them in check. There is no such thing as progress without the other side of the table working to maintain the wording of the cease fire!

Once again the English language has words when they are used must reflect accurately their definitions. The oppressed feeling good about one step forward and ten steps back doesn’t meet criteria because the oppressors are never held accountable for not meeting their requirements to make the pact valid! One part cannot say it is better while the other part gives a wink and a nod as their purveyors of evil simply create new names or change their old names and keep on trucking.

Therein lies the false presentation of improved race relations. It is always the fault of the people oppressed when they don’t accept the littlest movement or rebuke of evil. People of color know that’s not good enough. We are always asked to give the oppressors time to change their ways. Well they’ve been doing it for hundreds of years. Let’s approach their so called churches and ask their religious leaders to tell them the truth that they can’t go out and lynch people for shits and giggles. That’s a hard ask isn’t it Pastors! Why did I say that? I remember some of the same so called pastors laying hands on former President Trump as if they could bestow upon him the qualities he has never and never will possess in his life.

Talk about overlay of imagination. I remember doing that to a few of my girlfriends and even an ex-wife or two. If your partner or spouse doesn’t have the qualities or good character traits you desire then just use your imagination and bestow or grant the person those qualities. Life doesn’t work like that for a relationship or for your false God. That’s why the so-called political party of God the Republicans are stoking lies, violence and HATRED. It is the currency their people have always exchanged between all their strongholds. It is the why their audience remains confident in the evil they do.

How are you going to get EVIL to the table to surrender when their prospects always remain profitable? Evil has tons of Republicans willing to say and do whatever it takes to not let that fire burn out which is why the heat is always on in Hell. The line starts around the corner for 30 pieces of silver. Give up evil in all its’ forms when I can make money off it. Not going to happen.

Issue 12: Privilege. In Truth Corrosive?

Out of all the meanings of the word privilege this is the one that sums up the destructive nature of the word for me. Websters definition is ‘to be EXEMPT from all that others are held accountable for’. Forgive me this digital periodical edition for I must present this Issue with a warning that it will condemn and torment the mind of the demons that sit in those so called pews of ‘EvanDevical’ churches.

It always amuses me to hear from those demon worshippers this phrase. “If you just stop talking about all the atrocities committed against Black people for hundreds of years by white people, then white people will then start believing the truth of what happened to Black people at the hands of white people.” What? Huh? First instance of how privilege corrodes the normal thought process of a human being let alone a so-called Christian human being. Maybe that’s it. Hearing a flesh and blood man speak from a pulpit in a so-called church orate that it’s God’s will that Black people remain slaves. Hey, it could convince me if I felt no personal responsibility wrapped in zero accountability.

Now let’s convict these ‘EvanDevicals’ with the Holy Bible. A book rarely if ever used by the ‘EvanDevicals’. From King James version, Acts 19:23-34. I will paraphrase here, but you all are welcome to read the entire chapter on your own. “The silversmith Demetrius was afraid that the people, Jews and Gentiles, would begin to believe in God in the trinity. Demetrius called together everyone that worked in that occupation and the sellers of the image of Diana, an idol god, to rile them up against Paul. Money was at stake. Livelihoods would be lost. Demetrius had successfully angered the people to shouting for two hours how great was the goddess Diana.”

I believe I read in the Holy Bible somewhere that the ‘love of money is the root of all evil.’ Slavery was the engine of the Southern Economy. Stay there for a second. Imagine the world today with vast buildings and airplanes, subs under the sea, technology that allows all the world to speak to one another. Here we are still trying to ‘whitewash’ the utter stupidity of the white man! Slaves picking cotton would have gave the ‘Massa’, a disgusting nasty and smelly plantation owner, the idea to create Google. Shucking corns, peas, and tobacco would have given the ‘Massa’ the idea to develop transistors, the electrical grid, and lifesaving medicines.

Think about that a minute. Keep up with me now. Moving into the 1900’s where everything started to take off for humankind. Mass production and the ability to acquire great wealth was roaring everywhere but in the south. Why not? Because the south still believed in the ‘EvanDevicals’ and all the foolishness they spouted from there platforms. Oh, by the way, ‘media’ in all its’ forms, stop talking about the reach of evil is far greater today with electronics that in the past by word of mouth and print media. Just stop. Oh no? Give a reporter a lie about a Black boy whistling at a white woman and see how fast they find him and mutilate him!

Oh, I haven’t forgotten about privilege. If you don’t see it in the paragraphs above then you are truly hopeless. Okay, I’ll make it simpler for you. Whether you’re a wealthy person. Whether you’re a professional paid athlete. Whether you’re a politician male or female that finally has the ‘golden ticket’ (I’ll explain later). Whether you’re a person born a certain color. Privilege is a dangerous possession for you now. It makes you believe that the theft of Native American heritage to include images is something Native Americans support. How that makes sense is still beyond me. That’s like saying well during slavery we always believed Black folks were less than white folks. Just because it’s now 2021 doesn’t change my beliefs. Ah Right!

Newsflash to white people. Don’t turn your televisions on or read your favorite print mediums. God forbid don’t remind yourselves of January 2021 at the United States Capital. Please don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t put on this Earth to convince anyone to turn away from the evil they do. I raised my children in the manner God put forth in his word. Teach right from wrong. Encourage independence and strength of thought. Always respond back with the truth no matter if it stings their conscience.

Read the next few sentences as many times as you like. “That’s why privilege bestowed without an explanation of its’ power is destructive. It condemns the holder to the inability to assign value to what they now possess. For example, a good spouse married to a spouse void of the concept of devotion exposes the faults in that union. A professional athlete that’s unaware of his membership in a league laden with rules that govern his ‘golden ticket’ applies to his personal behavior as well. Money is usually the privilege given as the reason for not adhering to the rules. That’s why privilege is corrosive because the consequences can leave a person void of all its imagined protections.” Simple. Privilege is useless when given because the receiver doesn’t assign a value to it, or when it’s somehow earned privilege isn’t understood and thus results in a loss of achievable respect.

That’s why so many people voted twice for a man like Donald Trump. If you ask them they would say they simply voted Republican. These people yearn, long, lament a life that will never return for them. Make no mistake about what I’m saying. Just like Jesus came to correct many errors, lies, and outright ‘EvanDevical’ heresy. Power is going to be shared. Get over yourselves white people. Yeah, all those Black or ‘Colored’ (it says that on my birth certificate) folks borne of some beast described in ‘White Churches’ are right here. I will state for the record. “There are more ‘demons’ in white churches than will ever be out in the general public.”

The Southern Baptist Convention. Ha! Your very founding has Satan as its cornerstone! I’ve always wondered why on Sunday white people in Alabama gave off this façade of piety and all I felt was foreboding evil. Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t wrong to ask white churches for help. He just didn’t know that in those churches God was never present.

Senators Manchin and Sinema now possess ‘golden tickets. Senator Manchin on his boat surveying the residents of his state. Senator Sinema reportedly taking contributions from the wealthy and powerful. Both of these people are through the door and into the chocolate factory. I remember a certain phrase growing up I’ve never forgotten. “Remember where you came from”. One has to be really careful when the scourge of hunger and lack are no longer nipping at your heels. One has to be really careful of being lavished with praise for an achievement no greater than being elected to Congress. I might add is the source of their ‘golden tickets’ to a life not seen before they stepped through those doors and heard the loud slam behind them.

The one constant that is still happening in this world is ‘CHANGE’. When it is ordained by the ‘First Father’ there is no stopping it. All the idiots littered throughout the history of this world speaking and acting from the privilege bestowed on them are the ones all too often that were left unchecked and unchallenged from which we have all the atrocities spotted throughout time.

Yeah America, just wrap a bandage on a broken arm and worry about cleaning it later. There are some of us in this country refusing to ignore the injuries. We will clean out all our wounds and stop them from festering in the hope of saving the whole body. Healing comes after locating where we’re injured and seeking the treatment needed so we finally can be on the mend. I say ‘Bravo’ to the Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal for not forgetting where she came from. May God keep the wind at your back.

It only takes a few of the actual God fearing to bring forth change. If the others wish to turn from their wicked ways and join us let God purify them with the fiery darts of his truth. ‘Lift every voice and sing till Earth and Heaven ring’.

Issue 11: Consciousness of Guilt

Perception is an alarming trait in humankind. It allows those in possession of it a clearer picture of the good or the evil that approaches. It can warn of dire consequences if the latter choice of evil is chosen and pursued. Once a choice is made by man (this gender specific word is appropriate for what I will prove next) and imbedded in the psychology of a cause, foundation or church; then the effects cannot be easily dispelled by better men at a latter time in the future.

Take for instance the so called ‘Church of God’ in all its’ manifestations in America. I’m reading this book now called WHITE TOO LONG by Robert P. Jones. In it he states that the “Southern Baptist Convention separated from the membership they maintained in the governing convention of the church when they were told that slaveholders could not be messengers of God.” I’m paraphrasing here, but in essence the ‘Church of Order’ at the time told them they were not welcomed. Hence the new ‘Church’ was born and on the rock of man’s law any and everything man says is God’s law.

Before I go any further, I want to reminisce about growing up in Alabama and feeling the wind blow and the smell of old wood seeping into the air of all the churches I attended. The effect of all the preaching of God’s word and the songs of joy and happiness combined to produce more than good feelings. It produced a euphoric sense of hope, and I knew all was right in the world. Of course as I aged I began to notice discrepancies in the way my family was treated by people that didn’t look like me. White people that is. Their looks, quick movements and dare I say distance they kept from us was hard to ignore.

Maybe that’s when that trait of perception began to draw growth from my internal energy. Why did white people behave so differently around us? My father drove by the most astonishing ‘grandiose’ churches I’ve ever laid eyes upon in my life. I mean the cross in front of some of them probably weighed more than some of the Black one room churches I attended. Enough of that though, the behavior of my White Christian neighbors didn’t seem right to me. Something just felt off like the ‘polarity’ of a Black Church was in opposition to a White Church. Yes it seemed like there were two ‘Gods’ where one set of people followed the Holy Bible, and one set of people followed their own ‘God’ set up to align with their beliefs and values. If you’re confused I’ll help you out. Black folks followed the Holy Bible.

Now before everyone that’s reading this get too upset; I’ll strengthen my argument with Scripture from the Authorized King James version. Acts 18:12, And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made ‘insurrection’ with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat. 13, Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the ‘law’. Anyway to make a long story short. Gallio told them if they were concerned with Paul following God’s law or their (man’s) law to ‘git the F__ out of my court and see to your own stupidity of contradiction’.

Which leads me to paraphrase more scripture. When you build your church upon an idea like God built his upon a rock and Hell would never breach it. The same goes for what the White man built his ‘Church’ upon. In this instance was slavery, so the gates of Hell did prevail against it until this day and forever! Why do you think that so many members of these ‘White Churches’ didn’t stand with God? It’s over 150 years since the White Church was formed of evil. What makes you think that foundation will ever crack? These ‘Churches’ will never realize they have to disband and form a new ‘Church’ altogether if they ever wish to destroy that DEMON they birthed over a century ago!

Everyone please don’t be surprised that White people don’t stand against the evil they clearly see in their churches, in their politicians, and their courts. Maybe it wasn’t given to Martin Luther King Jr. to understand why the ‘White Church’ made the choice to stand with evil in contradiction of all that Jesus the son of God gave his life for. Maybe my perception was fed to one day clearly see the turning away of Christian eyes from the wrongs committed against people of color. The members of ‘White Churches’ believed it is okay to sic a dog on a little girl running away with a broken leg and fire hoses on people as ‘justified’ according to their own ‘Church’ doctrine.

Now this is for everyone else that still lacks the perception to see that the ‘Church’ as it is ordered today ‘Is Not Founded in God’! Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt because they say they are when the record reflects a charter of lies and cruelty. All those Republican politicians that hold Bibles upside down and spew this hatred against human beings just struggling for a taste of peace and freedom are not after God’s own heart. Stop. Just Stop. They should be ushered out of court just like Gallio told those ignorant Jews coming in there trying to waste his time. Yes, it is okay to call out anybody in the wrong. That is not hating an entire race of people. People of all color, race and walks of life from rich to poor can be wrong. There is nothing wrong with calling them out when they are.

Let me finish by saying that the United States Supreme Court will not get a pass from me. They say their deliberative process is comprised of the law with guidance of a higher power. Well if they’re members of the ‘White Church’ I have zero faith they will judge anything faithfully accordingly as the word that sayeth, ‘There is only one that is good, the Father of Lights’. More to come.

POLITICAL THEATER

POLITICAL THEATER

This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Until you’re beholden to everybody I will call your 3^rd grade attempts to make us believe helping the rich isn’t welfare but helping the poor in any way is welfare or an entitlement state to be fought against at all costs. Calling you on it will be my honor…

“I cannot accept our economy, or basically our society, moving towards an entitlement

mentality.” Senator Joe Manchin.

Keep that quote in mind for me as I explain why that old trope is still in play that those with ‘eyes that cannot see afar off and ears that cannot hear’. My story began in the projects of Tom Browne Village in the community of Avondale in Birmingham, Alabama. I’ve heard those words spoken in various forms for many years about the aspirations, motivations and desires of the poor. That the poor doesn’t possess or place those pocket rockets near their heart to use them to accomplish things in their lives.

When I understood that my father couldn’t give me the desires of mine heart; I nurtured an inferno in my heart to explode at the moment I was free to make my own way in this world. Constant hunger, fatigue, malnutrition were not going to plague me much longer because now I am in control of my life. This is what people who may have started out in life with modest means, but the acquisition of power and money has ‘sprung up’ around their humble beginnings and choked it out. Must be nice to peer down at people from the top. ‘Maybe he should get closer to the people for a better look?’

I know what it’s like to be ‘flapping wildly on a clothesline like a shirt with holes no longer possible to sew together on a windy day’. Those holes, metaphorically speaking, can’t be mended anymore so a new shirt must be acquired. There was no way I could make my way through life the same as my father, so I had to chart a different course than he chose. Now back to the Senator’s trifling, asinine and presumptive assessment of making the way clearer of a few obstacles to success which he obviously has lost all faith in humanity with such an insulting conclusion.

Where I began in life is how I am perceived, and this is by the people we’ve elected to govern us? My advice to President Biden if he would listen to a citizen that grew up in adject poverty is to stick to the numbers he already negotiated down. If 3.5 trillion is too much then I would ask the good Senators to come up with a way to propel this nation forward. Ask them how the climate crisis will be solved? Ask them how we’re going to educate the next generation of our citizens to replace those retirees? Ask them how we’re going to maintain our food supply if every acre of ground is on fire? Ask them where will all the cures for the afflicted will appear if we don’t invest in human infrastructure?

Ask them why their lack of a vision demands the country follow them and perish? President Biden should remain firm in the numbers he has already lowered (I say he should have stuck with 6 Trillion) and have those holdouts come to him with achievable solutions if they chose to remain intransigent. ‘Entitlement’? I’m glad Senator Manchin thinks highly of the citizens he confesses to represent. Maybe he needs to sleep in the projects with roaches constantly jockeying for the crumbs falling from a hand me down table while sitting in a creaky chair?

Forgotten where most everybody else came from have we?

P. S. Oh, I haven’t forgotten the United States Supreme Court. You’re not political? How else would you want the country to interpret the Texas abortion ruling? Before you say it the U. S. Constitution isn’t and never was a righteous document. Never was it equal to the Holy Bible so get over yourselves. I frankly don’t know what higher moral authority your ruling resemble, or more appropriate wording you’ll understand ‘bear semblance to’.

POLITICAL ASSIST

POLITICAL ASSIST

Now to the scolding which I try to keep at a minimum. This is President Biden’s economic plan. It is not Senators Joe Manchin’s or Kyrsten Sinema’s economic plan. Here we go again with one or two people trying to decide what’s going to happen for the leader at the top. Do us all a favor Senators. When you’re the President of the United States and can sign legislation into law then you can decide what can or cannot happen. Until then let us see what you two are holding up, or better yet what’s possible.

We have an interstate highway system. How come we don’t have an Interstate Water

System? Face it with the droughts happening more frequently and existing water systems not even close to doing the job. We need to think big. I heard once that Israel desalinates most of their water supply. Our crops and the food supply will not last without an adequate water supply. Other nations are already suffering in our hemisphere.

I heard there are many ships waiting to be off loaded on each coast. Why don’t we have the Commerce Department working closely with our businesses? Why? Because we believe a political ideology that says government should stay out of the business sector? Small government seems to be flat footed, or I may be drawing the wrong conclusion. Take gun. Shoot self in foot (metaphorically please).

Transportation. Why do we still have to wait for a call from our loved ones traveling across our country or around the world? Why is there not a system that immediately tells us when an airplane, train, ship, bus, or ship arrives? For that, why isn’t there a video recorder/feed inside these forms of transportation that allows family to keep tabs on their loved ones? Instead of everybody piling on Facebook or Twitter about the foolishness that abounds on their platforms. How about using these mediums like a ‘Face alert’ or a ‘Tweet alert’ about something good happening in the neighborhoods of their users.

Infrastructure. Where do I start? I can’t recall the number of times I’ve been stuck behind a pile up or a road under construction. Navigation systems? I have to grade them a D-. What are we waiting on in the halls of Congress? Am I the only one aware besides the Biden Administration and those members of Congress that see the need is urgent and the lead time to construct new roads, bridges, airports, railways takes years if not decades? Stop acting like you’re the one at the top. If your name is not President Biden, then get on board and propel this country forward. Time’s a wasting!

Sorry about this, but I have to address ‘Critical Race Theory’ and the ignorant reactions to it. First for all the white people that obviously received and ‘F’ in American History, or it was an elective, and they chose a course in ‘righteous indignation’ containing very little about righteousness. Let’s see that ‘righteous’ document the U. S. Constitution contained language describing a Black human being as three fifths a white human being. Black people being enslaved. Black people killed for no other reason than for ‘shits and giggles’.

Oh, I got one. Black peoples’ wages withheld for over two hundred years. Boy, I would like to see that dollar figure! A Civil War was fought to get past at least the slavery part of American history. Black water fountain versus a white water fountain. Black people sit at the back of the bus. Poll taxes. Guessing how many jellybeans in a jar. Segregation, oh that one is making a comeback. Redlining is the practice of restricting areas of a city to keep housing in that area exclusively white. Discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex. Oh my gosh this is ridiculous.

Can a ‘God’ fearing Christian truly say with a straight face that ‘training up a child in the way he should go and when he gets old he will not depart from it’. Newsflash. Bringing someone up in the shadow of evil doesn’t make that scripture a lie. Good or Evil works both ways or to the unlearned both instances are true. So white women, stop getting up in front of school board meetings and embarrassing yourselves. Yeah, like it or not this time of racial reckoning in America is ordained. It will not pass until the truth is fully laid out for all to see. Wipe those crocodile tears off your face cause you look stupid.

We need business and governments at all levels to work to unleash America. All this stupid gamesmanship about the debt or the debt ceiling when it’s not even the Republicans or the Democrats money they’re playing with. It’s America’s money. If the Republicans want to play games with America’s future send their butts home and stop electing them to Federal, State or any office!

Oh my God. We could have a 50, 60 or 70 trillion gross domestic product if we bring to bear all elements of our country. I mean all of it. Every citizen or noncitizen being valued and supported by every good and precious means available to help America break through! Oh, and the signs should read ‘STOP THE STUPIDITY’.

MOTHER Se’MAY SAYER: THE ARC OF TIME: SEASON II

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode Five: This Stop is ‘BAD’

Part Two: Engulfed

Prologue:

(Oftentimes I would wonder how to start a discussion. What words I should use that would immediately take me to the desired road where at the end lies my destination. How do I do this with the utmost dispatch as time is a fleeting commodity in an uncertain world? Businesses don’t just spring to life with every necessity in toe. Businesses start with an idea and that’s where the ‘creator’ must put a hook into it to secure it before drawing it out of the energy of conception. The difference with this form of life is it won’t be enclosed in a womb. Once this idea has erupted from the mind that spawned it, it must be continuously connected to its’ creator. How you say? It can only be fed; energy diverts by its’ creator.

Business just like any worthwhile endeavor must be explored, pulled and pushed toward a visible object in reality. From that birth it still needs nourishment. Mother Sayer knows she is deep into the metaphysical aspects of why she must consistently feed her business like human beings need food and other necessities to survive and therefore thrive. Neglect can be just as harmful to a business as it is devastating to a human being. I can’t be slothful in my business. Mother would ring those words through her mind as self-care is to her mental health, so it is to the health of her business.

With that she knows her greatest treasure is her people. She knows that her people bring new energy that continues to make her company prosper. Mother knows the value of her people and she pays them accordingly. Where money doesn’t motivate she uses other tools at her disposal to get the results she needs. This episode tells the story of O’Woh E. Line pronounced (Oh Wo E. Line) and his climb up the ranks at The ARC Incorporated.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Are you ready to speak with O’Woh and his team now Mother?

Mother Sayer: Give me 10 minutes to write some notes on my meeting with Hekima and her team.

Tuaole Rilyzah: You still want Hekima Beborne and Oakli Sands in attendance as O’Woh E. Line presents his project?

Mother Sayer: Yes. (Mother intends to have every project on this floor set in on each briefing to gain some understanding and insight as everybody works for the same team, but the games they’re all playing are completely different. Mother hopes the leaders are enlightened.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Good. Excuse me while I check in on O’Woh.

Mother Sayer: Do what you have to do.

——————-1^st Interlude——————-

(Tuaole ushers Hekima and Oakli into the office space where O’Woh is currently figuring out how to present what little progress he has made on the Business Acumen and Direction project to Mother Sayer. Tuaole tries in vain to advise him that it doesn’t matter where you are in the development of your project. What matters to Mother Sayer is buy in from all your team members. Does your team believe in the idea and are their contributions welcomed? That’s all that Mother wants to see at this stage of development.

Don’t try to ‘BS’ her though cause that’s not going to be good for you. It’s been about 10 minutes and Mother keeps her schedule tight. Let me go get her. Remember, just present what you have so far and try not to embellish on it.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Mother, I will take you into the heart of O’Woh’s project. Please follow me.

Mother Sayer: (This is the kind of consistency I like Mother says to herself. I told her to give me 10 minutes and she was right on her game. I love it when professionals act on what you tell them without hesitation or doubt.). Of course.

Tuaole Rilyzah: O’Woh. Mother is here. Please proceed with your presentation. Excuse me. (Tuaole exits the room and allows the presentation to start.).

O’Woh E. Line: Mother, my presentation, excuse me, my team’s presentation grew out of a necessity that is all too often missing from the essential ingredients needed to start a business and keep it going. The reasons why and who’s the one person that believes in the idea no matter the doubt surrounding the venture.

That is the ground where BAD seeks to seed and water. The nurturing comes from consistent support in philosophical coaching and honest feedback.

Mother Sayer: There will be no chance for neglect when a startup is chosen by your team?

O’Woh E. Line: None. The requirements for entry into this program will be quite stringent.

Mother Sayer: How so?

O’Woh E. Line: Money for one. Are there enough funds on hand to start and sustain the venture? Where will the venture draw from talent wise to give it the energy, legitimacy and belief to convince others to join its’ ranks? Who will be the face of the business? Are the leaders willing to put in ungodly hours to see to it that it succeeds?

Mother Sayer: Are you convinced that the merits of this program will fill a vital need in this city? Around the country? Maybe even around the world?

O’Woh E. Line: Since you brought it up I remember what you pulled me out of. A straight flush indicating the path my life had taken and it was about to be cut short. You saw my bluff and called me on it. If you hadn’t pulled me out of that life of deception and trickery I would be another black man walking the prison pipeline for whatever deed of mine that put me there.

Mother Sayer: It was not just your potential that persuaded me to take a chance on you. It was the intensity you gave to your criminal enterprise. Energy works both ways. It can be harnessed and applied for good purposes, or it can be harnessed and applied for evil purposes.

O’Woh E. Line: You gave me this position because the moment I set my mind to something I’m like a dog gnawing on a bone. I would scheme and plot a con until I find the perfect way to spring it on my mark.

Mother Sayer: Now as you have had time on the right side of say legitimacy how does it set with your mind? That’s what I’m asking. Do you belong here?

O’Woh E. Line: I don’t accept charity. I make my own way. I appreciate the opportunity you’ve provided, but the way I’ve done things always worked for me.

Mother Sayer: Yes yes of course, but how do you explain taking a temporary position of materials and concept handler to now holding a Project Lead position?

O’Woh E. Line: You know the status of all the employees of your company as well as you do mine?

Mother Sayer: A member of your team will fill you in. Now answer my question. How did a person of your background move up the ranks so quickly?

O’Woh E. Line: You made that possible.

Mother Sayer: O’Woh I don’t run a mom and pop shop. I run a multi-million dollar company that I will grow beyond the confines of these walls. I need competent personnel that has life experience in the area I find prone to success. Hardship. Suffering. Growth. Imagination. Strength of will. These are just a few of the character traits I look for in the people I hire. I then push them to their limits in every way. I realize you don’t quite understand what that means yet, but you will soon.

O’Woh E. Line: Results oriented leadership. I accept the challenge and you know this. You will not be disappointed.

Mother Sayer: We shall see.

——————-2^nd Interlude——————-

(Mother continues to listen to O’Woh as he outlines his vision for a successful project. How many startups the project can handle simultaneously and the personnel who will be devoted to helping each business get off the ground and running. There seems to be some team members hovering around the sidelines and not fully engaged in the presentation.

Mother decides to explore her observation).

Mother Sayer: O’Woh introduce me to your team members.

O’Woh E. Line: From the left this is Lumina, Craig, Sharon, Joppa, Miess, and Geesa.

Mother Sayer: Joppa, is it? What role do you have in this project and tell me how well you think it will be received in the press? Is it groundbreaking stuff?

Joppa: With a few tweaks I think it can make an immediate impact.

Mother Sayer: How so?

Joppa: Well I wanted to add a lighter version of the program for those people who have an idea about what business they want to start, but don’t have the certainty of what that business will look like.

Mother Sayer: Go on.

Joppa: Say for instance there’s a young woman looking to enter the clothing industry. She has an idea for her logo. She has some ideas on what clothes she thinks girls and women could wear to make them look and feel their best, but she is conflicted by moral and spiritual concerns that could make her clothing line look prudish.

Mother Sayer: This hypothetical designer is concerned about her clothing line being viewed as too sexual?

Joppa: Yes. So I would propose a trial run of sorts that targets girls ages 14 to 20. Produce a line that answers their need for individuality and their need for originality. Do the test run in one market and gage the support for her brand from there. If the initial rollout is successful, she could then move to hire women and men from different cultures and design clothes based on their ideas of what they want to look and feel their best wearing.

Mother Sayer: Impressive. When I saw you looking away as your leader was talking I thought you weren’t interested or sold on the presentation. I’m curious thought did you share your thoughts with O’Woh?

Joppa: I did, and he tabled them for another strategy session each time.

Mother Sayer: O’Woh, Joppa’s idea sounds like it would add much needed alternative value to the heavy program. What specific objections do you have about his add on approach?

O’Woh E. Line: I asked him to table it for a few weeks that’s all. I didn’t say it wouldn’t be considered for full inclusion at a later time.

Mother Sayer: Joppa’s input would be tabled for a few weeks? Is that the best answer you can give me?

O’Woh E. Line: He should fall in line with all my staff and follow my lead that’s what I told him. I would consider his input if it was essential to the launch of this project that’s what I told him.

Mother Sayer: (One thing Mother Sayer does not tolerate is disdain or contempt in your voice against your own people). Okay. Here’s what’s happening from this moment forward. O’Woh you are demoted from project lead. You are reassigned to ‘ACCOUNTS and ACQUISITIONS’. Joppa. You are now project lead. Please continue with the presentation.

Joppa: (Joppa is stunned). Ah, yes Mother. Our approach for those people who have the wherewithal to start a business is to cover not the idea but the person as well. That’s why we would have a Philosopher and a Therapist on staff. We believe that a business creator must have the strength of will to see the business through every phase of development.

O’Woh E. Line: Ms. Sayer, may I say something.

Mother Sayer: Absolutely, you can speak in defense of how your actions have led to my decision to remove you from this team.

O’Woh E. Line: You knew I was a grifter when you hired me. A con artist and a cheat, but also somebody that could introduce you to the ways that these types of people like myself would come at you and your company.

Didn’t you tell me that you got played once by a gangster slash con man and you had to be pulled out of the fire by your father.

Mother Sayer: That’s true. What I didn’t tell you as a footnote to that story is I embraced the horrible lesson, and therefor allowed myself to learn from the mistakes. Meaning that seeing things through one set of lens still didn’t give me the insight I needed to recognize that buffoon of a businessman in that situation.

O’Woh E. Line: (He notices that his former team members are nodding in agreement to what Mother is trying to get him to understand.). Yeah, I know the situation was bad, but the lesson was necessary.

Mother Sayer: Right.

O’Woh E. Line: With me out of the picture who will teach you about con artist now?

Mother Sayer: Sarah, can you hand me the bag I brought with me?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: (She searches around in the bag for the right prop appropriate for this moment. She finds it. It is a flat three inch figure of a man having several pieces that can be placed back together when separated.). Here O’Woh, take a look at this figure. You see that it is whole. Now I will break it apart. Tell me in which state of existence is the figure whole?

O’Woh E. Line: The one that was whole and unbroken.

Mother Sayer: That is why I removed you from this team. Both examples I showed you the figure was whole. Why? Whether a person is scattered in pieces or presents themselves as whole there are still lessons to be learned that in turn become new parts of their life. I add to my knowledge and lived experiences by embracing the input and thoughts of intelligent people around me. I multiply by addition. In other words I gain knowledge by bringing in people that have in their possession what I need to strengthen myself and my business.

You failed to learn that lesson because you believe otherwise. Everything you’ve acquired was through deceit and chicanery. What lasting goodness has it added to who you are that others can admire?

O’Woh E. Line: I don’t need admiration or approval. I need people to know I have the goods and trust that by following my lead.

Mother Sayer: So, it doesn’t matter that they don’t know what you’re doing or what direction you would take the project? Just do what I say and know that I know how to get it done is that it?

O’Woh E. Line: Precisely.

——————-3^rd Interlude——————-

(Mother no longer feels remorse for removing O’Woh from project lead. She now recounts a story once told to her by her friend from her college days at UofL. She takes a few moments to fully line up her presentation for her own benefit because she doubts it will resonate the correct meaning to this man.).

Mother Sayer: Mr. Victor was his name. He took the time to relate life and the issues we face in various ways. He used metaphors and the metaphysical. One story he laid out for me I find myself reminiscing about quite often. The lure of evil and let’s not be quaint about it because stealing is evil. We listen to fairy tales of good hearted men stealing from the rich and giving to the poor as if it’s okay because we characterize the rich as not sharing and it makes it okay to steal from them.

All the while the script is being flipped and you don’t even know it. Once you have a taste of evil, no matter how someone reasoned to you that stealing from certain people is right; you will begin to be covered by evil. He said he dipped only his big toe in a pool of evil and before he even realized he was ‘engulfed’. It was like he couldn’t breathe. His way of thinking had altered. No longer did he heed the warnings about doing bad things and how they begin to snowball on you.

He was completely underwater, and he kept saying he only remembered dipping his big toe in evil. Evil only needs a crease or a slight crack in the surface with just a small chance to push through to infect the host. Mr. Victor kept saying that he thought he was in a place where light no longer penetrated. He couldn’t locate anymore which way to go that would lead him out or allow him to breach the surface to forcefully inhale good air.

That’s the way it felt to him. He almost realized too late that old saying. “Practicing evil all the while believing you’ll never submit to it is no different than a fool and his money parting ways except what you’ll part with is your very soul.” By the way, breaching the surface after being under the spell of evil for so long doesn’t guarantee you’ll reach safe harbor to regain your footing, metaphorically of course.

O’Woh, you’ve been under the spell of false reasoning by equating the gain you’ve received under deceitful practices as justification to continue your thievery. I have offered you safe harbor and it was up to you to breach the surface and seek the light. That is all I can do. Report to ACCOUNTS and ACQUISITIONS, or not.

Tuaole Rilyzah: (Tuaole speaks after Mother gives her the signal to usher everybody back to work.). Okay, Joppa please proceed with the project and in one week I will report to Mother how your team is progressing.

Mother Sayer: Thank you Tuaole. Do we have one more presentation to attend today?

Tuaole Rilyzah: One more.

Mother Sayer: Yes indeed, one more.

——————-4^th Interlude——————-

(Mother returns to the inner sanctum where Tuaole commands all visitors and company personnel before she directs them to their intended destinations. She returns there because she knows after such a heavy spewing out of negative energy she has to reconcile it with all her aides and senior staff.).

Mother Sayer: Sarah, you have questions?

Sarah W. Certainty: That was intense. What are your thoughts? Which thought told you where to start first? How did you remain calm to deliver that message to O’Woh? How?

Mother Sayer: (Mother chuckles inside. She recalls that glorious day when her father told her he was picking her up from school because it seemed in his tone of voice that this day would be different. How he required her to be present without her knowing why when he confronted her uncle about him stealing from her father. The cascade of answers that flowed and connected to everything that was being discussed across many interactions she had witnessed in her house.

She is excited for Sarah because her understanding shot forward like a catapult, and she is certain Sarah’s will also.). Slow down Sarah. I am still perfecting my technique as well, so don’t crown me with glory and honor yet. Now about O’Woh. There’s a passage of scripture I use from the Authorized King James version that fits this situation. Romans 14:22 “Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.”

Sarah W. Certainty: I get that he is sure of his ability to scurry through the criminal underworld, but why would you try to enlighten somebody that clearly doesn’t consider the opinion or words of caution from anybody?

Mother Sayer: Exactly! Two things. The first one was the scripture I repeated to you and the second is why would I? I wanted to put on the record that he was told by somebody, so when he is judged by the First Father he won’t have an excuse.

Sarah W. Certainty: I doubt if he gives a shit, but I’m still curious to hear about your first point.

Mother Sayer: I listened to a man tell me something about torment.

Sarah W. Certainty: Mr. Victor?

Mother Sayer: Good, you’re remembering about the people that inhabit pivotal points in our lives which in this case was mine. Mr. Victor was sure he could be sexually active and also watch other people have sex and it not affect his spiritual, mental and physical health.

Sarah W. Certainty: He found out he was wrong.

Mother Sayer: Yes, but many years had passed while he believed in this imaginary fanciful ability he didn’t possess. Now to his credit he did many other things correctly. He accepted fault for his mistakes. He kept his word to remain faithful in his marriages. He still helps his grown children financially from time to time.

The thing is though. When life falls asleep for the last time, there is only one person answering for the name that is called forward. It is reasonable to be cautious about what this fleshly life has to offer us because it does weight down the spirit which has to answer for it.

Sarah W. Certainty: O’Woh found success wielding the weapons of deceit, thievery, lies and treachery. Those behavioral and character traits have an underlying sinister motive that is hidden from the pervader. Therefore the effects go unnoticed to the user unless that person is capable of self-examination?

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles broadly inside. Sarah has paid attention more intensely than I had figured.). Your understanding is showing remarkable cohesion. Putting it all together in the places it fits is also crucial.

(Mother looks at Sarah to gage belief in her training and acknowledgement of the distance her daughter must travel.). Do you believe in a phrase that was paraded across television a number of years ago that went like this? ‘You are what you eat’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Vaguely. You know my parents’ played member and caretaker in the criminal underworld?

Mother Sayer: I know. Do you understand what the underlying meaning behind the phrase as I have spoken it to you?

Sarah W. Certainty: I get the gist of it. My body can only be as healthy as the food I choose to consume.

Mother Sayer: Yes, but on an elemental level the right food resupplies the body from the chemical makeup in the food itself. At the same time the body is preprogrammed to wait in anticipation at an elemental level for the food that would supply its’ needs. ‘You are what you eat’.

Sarah W. Certainty: It is the same thing, but on a different existential scale when it pertains to good and evil?

Mother Sayer: It’s as simple as that. Mr. Victor, who is a philosopher, teaches from a standpoint of drawing my reasoning out which allows me to come to the knowledge of the truth. He doesn’t think for anyone. He only facilitates the environment where learning and growth can take place.

Sarah W. Certainty: You do the same thing you know. I can do the same thing.

Mother Sayer: I’ve come to realize that and not to take your compliment too completely, but I hope to one day disseminate reason, cautions and truth as well as he does. Now, O’Woh lies in a place where Mr. Victor was once submerged and beguiled. Listen to my next statement because it’s important.

No one can perform evil deeds, act with malicious or foul intent, lie, cheat and steal because they believe that sometimes these acts are necessary to usher in the greater good. That is total nonsense!

Sarah W. Certainty: O’Woh wasn’t going to change anything about himself. He still believes that what he has become is not harming him. Why did you hire him then?

Mother Sayer: I hired him because I believe everyone deserves a chance at goodness. Mr. Victor often spoke about the joy he felt when he relieved himself of the torment he allowed. He said, ‘Se’May, I even noticed how my sense of smell increased. He could taste food in all its’ savory goodness again. Sarah, he could perceive the world around him properly again.

So many people allow themselves by their own permission to be consumed by their own desire for ill gotten gain. Giving someone their unexamined trust because it’s easier to blame that person for leading them astray. All and all it is their life that is now distorted. The only way to see clearly again is to examine your life through clear lens. I recently felt that. Being submerged and not knowing I was under and therefore not knowing I was drowning. When my daughter was taken I was in the depths of despair.

I knew I neglected my children in the pursuit of building my empire. If it was to please my father or put all those doubters to shame, I just pursued my business interests without consideration for the parts of my life that truly mattered. My children. One day I remembered that, and God knows I’m so happy that Son Skyy called General Tholodious to help me get my daughter back.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, you are not immune to the wiles of some seemingly innocent evil either?

Mother Sayer: I dam show am not and for what it’s worth I’m glad I was given the time to see the error of my ways and correct myself.

Sarah W. Certainty: You keep saying that and yet you know you cannot fix O’Woh. What was the point of hiring him? I don’t understand it. If he worked for my father and acted with that blatant disrespect, he would be feeding the worms right about now.

Mother Sayer: I know I know. Sometimes all we must do is help a person realize that the path they’re on doesn’t hold the truth. It only returns distortion and eventually destruction. I just wanted to pass along the information. I never said I could change O’Woh. I said I wanted to show him that what he believed and how it manifested itself in him. In a world that celebrates liars, thieves, gangsters and con men that there isn’t a lot of room for people who think they really don’t keep company with them. Even though they practice the dark art of deception they delude themselves about their own goodness.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s never going to change Mother. Their sense of who they are is reinforced daily by the crap they watch glorifying all the behaviors that God says will not be allowed into Heaven. Murder, stealing, lying you name it. Those are the things that are shown the deference in American society.

Mother Sayer: Yes, it is different when you’ve seen some of those things up close growing up. Yet you didn’t glorify them. Why not?

Sarah W. Certainty: Because I’m not somebody that reasons like a lunatic. There are always consequences to what a person does. Now a family can have an existence and money based on the spoils of those terrible acts, but I never justified my father or anyone as pure or just doing those cruel things.

Mother Sayer: I averted my disaster in the same way, and I’m grateful for a friend in Mr. Victor because he showed me how honesty can save me. I certainly didn’t wish to be condemned to ignorance. Ignorance that leads to destruction.

Sarah W. Certainty: Condemning a person for a fault that can be reasonably corrected does sound like a harsh punishment.

Mother Sayer: That’s right Sarah, but you know the solution does sound simple. I am not God, nor do I wish to call his displeasure upon me. All it takes to avoid the depths of despair and eventual destruction is simply to own up to your faults. We ‘condemn’ ourselves by what we choose to believe, what we allow, and who we choose to follow.

There’s no teetering on the edges with evil, with ‘THOUS SHALT NOTS’ and ignorant behavioral traits. Listen, if you find yourself ‘engulfed’ and by the way you will know you are.

Sarah W. Certainty: Wait a second. ‘Thou Shalt Nots’?

Mother Sayer: The Ten Commandments? Don’t you remember them from Catholic School?

Sarah W. Certainty: Right right. No other God, not kill, not steal, not adultery, not false witness.

Mother Sayer: It is not required of anyone to do the things a Supreme Being would have you do. It is hypocritical to claim faithful practice of spiritual principles to amuse an audience of idiots. Most people falter because they truly believe that faith in a person that looks like them is believing in something greater than themselves. Their leader, a person of flesh and blood as they are, is responsible for them. I’d say to that ask all those ‘Israelites that fell in the wilderness and never made it to the promised land’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Your responsibility was also to the team members underneath O’Woh. Leaving them under his authority would’ve been unjust. A condemnation they didn’t ask for. You put him in place, and it was on you to caste him out.

Mother Sayer: Correct. It is on me because I sit at the top. I seek to uplift, but I also must caste aside those whose ambitions would sully the reputation of ‘The ARC’. His motivations were too imbedded within to be swayed by my mentoring. Therefore, I must always fall on the side of doing what’s right.

Sarah W. Certainly: Wow. That was intense. Give me a moment before we hear our third presentation of the day.

Epilogue:

(Mother and Sarah consume some cold beverages and comment on what bright and dynamic people she has working at The ARC. Sarah is still reviewing the negative scene between O’Woh and Mother. How O’Woh didn’t even attempt to humble himself. He knew Mother had sole power to relieve him of his duties or retain his services. Why did he ‘buck up’ like he had an ace in the hole to play that would win him the hand.

Mother allowed him more latitude than I would have, but he still kept pressing his position that every answer or creative juice were inside him and him alone. Wait, did he think Mother revealing to him her despair and all the uncertainty surrounding the kidnapping of her daughter was a point of weakness he could exploit? Did he think Mother to be vulnerable and thus able to be subverted?

Mother is sitting in silence. She’s allowing Sarah to contemplate all that she has witnessed through the lens of her own perceptions. Silence is how she handled the cascade of answers her father exposed her too with her uncle in the mechanic shop that day after school. Mother knows all learning is not contained in a book. The dynamic nature of human beings demands that the best of us learn how to be ready in intense moments when decisions are made under pressure and stress.

1 Peter 4:12, “fiery trial which is to try you”. That’s where the old cliché of “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen”. Yes, I believe in Sarah. Sweating her little heart out in the kitchen with me.)…

POLITICAL THEATER

War Zones?

As a retired Army veteran I want to extend solemn camaraderie to the fallen Marines and soldiers of America in this time that precious life has been loss in defending Afghanistan’s people from tyranny and oppression. No amount of memories will replace the countless hugs, kisses and joy of being in the presence of these service members to their families. The possibilities of looking into their eyes and hearing them speak or hoping for their futures are all gone now. No expression of understanding of what these brave service members meant to their families could be possible using words. The sacrifice is everything. Those who have never served could never understand that the words of Duty, Honor, and Country aren’t just vocalized upon command. Read further. This is what it means in scripture.

Proverbs Chapter 7 vs 1-3: “My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.” Republican politicians are loathsome creatures. Who would even attempt to use the death of brave service members whose deaths aren’t even known to their loved ones yet to try to spew despicable critiques of the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces? Who does that? This is why I wanted to wait until the mission was over in Afghanistan to verbalize my thoughts. Afghanistan is a ‘WAR ZONE’! The men and women who wear the uniform understand this and place it on their hearts. Whisking people to safety unfortunately means getting face to face with them. That cowardly act of that terrorist won’t stop one service member from the performance of their duties.

My second tour in Afghanistan as a 92F required me to transfer fuel from third country national tankers into the above ground tanks on my FOB. Don’t you think I knew that if an explosive device eluded detection my life would be ended? Yes I did. Nevertheless I got up on top of every tanker that came into my fuel point and unloaded every last one of them. I vote Democratic and I was there under a Democratic President. I would feel great shame if my parents blamed whatever President of either party for my death. That is akin to what we say down south of spitting in somebody’s face!

What? Is the President ending a war in Chicago? I doubt that there would be attempts by mischievous persons to strap a bomb to their ass and kill themselves along with countless others. Absolutely not! The President is ending America’s involvement in a war in Afghanistan! The President is not airlifting people out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. He’s airlifting them out of Afghanistan! Yeah, the President knows that with war there are casualties. Let no politician of either party belittle what is inevitable about war. This isn’t a matter to be reduced to political blasphemy!

All Republican politicians in office today are unworthy to have their names uttered in the same sentences as duty, honor and country. These are the people who morph into whatever a mob is feeling in the moment whether it is hatred of the other to excusing immoral and dishonorable behavior from their leaders in power. Citizens, do you really think a Republican politician with an empty heart has limits to what he or she would do to achieve, hold, and wield that power? Every one of you who votes to give these people power again deserve the cold splash of truth coming soon after you give it to them. How does the saying go? “An empty heart will receive your wishes, but its’ many valves will soon flush it out any available chamber.”

Can’t flush Duty, Honor and Country from a person wearing the uniform in service to America. Why not you ask? Because Duty, Honor and Country can’t be flushed when it is written on the heart of a warrior. That’s why!

Political Theater?

FREE STYLING!

First let me be clear this isn’t a final assessment of America’s interdiction in Afghanistan. I will give my judgment at a later undetermined time in the future. Okay. All the people who aren’t active-duty military or Cabinet members in President Joe Biden’s Administration giving commentary about foreseeing an avoidable end to a military engagement are full of shit. Certainly Federally elected Republican politicians who are suddenly endowed with integrity should join the circus because that’s where clowns belong. Oh, and if I had to give advice to President Biden and his cabinet I would tell them to let the press have their party. I don’t care if it’s a pity party over spilled milk. I don’t care if they are trampling each other to say I told you so first. I don’t even care if they are sincere in their concern for the plight of females of all ages in Afghanistan under the Taliban. They aren’t running the show are they? Mr. President just do your job and let history write itself.

Now about Republicans trying to cast President Biden’s ability to lead or critique how he handles himself as somehow less than what they expect of a leader. Wow, that’s vexing to say it bluntly because their guy that sat in that office the last four years couldn’t contemplate on anything for an extended period to make good decisions. President Trump couldn’t spell wisdom let alone possess any and Republicans are attempting to press that line of attack as if it will help them win elections? Good luck! Which brings me to remark on President Joe Biden’s ‘aura’.

I have concluded that President Biden is a ‘FREESTYLER’. What do I mean by that? Let me break it down for you. The President’s conversational tone gives off an air of originality, honesty and openness. He doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about topics he enjoys talking about like his family, his career, his devotion to keeping to his word. Don’t even try to compare President Biden to President Trump. President Biden may get some facts wrong in his eagerness to answer questions, but President Biden doesn’t blatantly lie like President Trump did when his lips are moving. President Biden is old enough to have developed that part of himself that tells him to trust people when you give them a job to do.

In mental health if you do it long enough and become good at it there develops in you an understanding to give people the ability to make decisions that still produce good outcomes. They don’t have to do it the way I can. I give everyone I train the ability to make good decisions because I tell them I trust them. Now if I need to offer correction I do that in private always with the goal of a full explanation of why and my unyielding support. Of course if my grasshoppers aren’t agreeable to avoiding the pitfalls present throughout mental health, then I tell them the field may not be right for them.

So, to everybody that are looking to jump on the bandwagon of turned over trash cans only to point them out as they walk by, I suggest keeping your opinions to yourself. Most people aren’t looking to clean up the mess but are certainly willing to hoot and holler about how big of a mess it is! Take a chill pill and let the professionals do their job. If you gathered from this post that I must be military you are perceptive. I am retired Army and I paid attention and learned from the best of the best as an NCO and tutored under many outstanding officers. Sit back and watch. You might learn something about performing in excellence under the worst conditions imaginable because that is part of the job description for entry into leadership in the Armed Forces of America. President Biden knows what he’s doing. Just let the man finish ending our involvement in Afghanistan and then everyone can pile on him until their hearts content. I still say good luck with that.

Issue 10: COLLAPSE!

Look, I wish I didn’t have to write so many of these posts that forewarn of catastrophe, but the simple man, woman and gender identity doesn’t seem to grasp the interconnected nature of every life on this planet. Question. What happens when one of the human beings I’ve described above suffers from the lost of income? Do you believe that it only affects that one individual? Answer honestly please. Do you believe that it affects only that individual yes or no? If your answer is yes then that is why I am compelled to continually write post that deal with impending doom.

Let’s look at current events over the past 6 months. The sudden fall of that condominium in Florida. The resurgence of the Covid Pandemic practically in every State of the Union. The disbelief in our elected officials of what is occurring in government at all levels. The ease to which the Republican Party quickly showed what they really are as they stand squarely in the shoes of wrongdoers. The place where ‘TRUTH’ dies as it is under siege could be in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Lastly as it has become surreal for Americans to champion those who lie about their errors even when the Sun is shining hottest upon them.

Now pick any building that contains more than 6 floors. What are the engineering requirements that building must maintain as long as it stands? It must meet certain building codes set forth by sound Science and enforced by elected and appointed officials to keep every citizens that uses them safe. It’s not just that that condominium deteriorated and became structurally unsound overnight. It’s also the people we elect and appoint that failed to keep those souls safe from harm. What if we multiply that situation around the country? What if we multiply a human being losing a job around the country? Do the math. What do you think would happen eventually to every person in those communities?

Consider America’s enemies. I believe that a conventional war is highly unlikely from an enemy with the capabilities to launch such an onslaught. What I do believe is possible is for a foreign or domestic adversary to seed ignorance and stupidity as weapons of mass destruction. The Covid Pandemic. If every other person eligible to be vaccinated doesn’t get the inoculation it allows the virus to linger on to infinity. Hold you horses I’m building up to ‘COLLAPSE’. Those of you who are smart enough to know where I’m headed please refrain from jumping to the end of this post until I get there.

What if enough people convince our elected officials at every level of government that their claims of harm are valid when reality says otherwise? America is witnessing the beginning of endless competition. No game will ever crown a champion. A contest in whatever arena will never be over because now Republicans are writing laws where ‘sore losers’ now get to overturn the final score. Forget that they got their asses busted on the playing field! Just let these ‘crybabies’ go to their Republican elected officials and cry foul!

The Republicans are creating a new system where ‘sore losers’ are awarded the trophy. That’s the kind of game America has always cheered for right? No more cheering for the winners we now must cheer for the ‘sore losers’. The collapse of competition has begun. The collapse of communities has begun. The collapse of health has begun. The collapse of believing in our government has begun. The collapse of families has been accelerated. The collapse of standards has begun. That’s right. Chip away at the foundations which hold our belief structure in all that is righteous and true causes cracks in the entire complexity of all life as we know it.

Let me be clear. I do not believe that all Americans must work together. Show me in the history of this country where that occurred and I will give every paycheck from now until I die to every white supremacy group in America. That’s only occurred once in the Bible where all humans spoke the same language and the tower of Babel was being built to reach God (Genesis 11: 1-9). That is a construct of some people who don’t know any better. Everything that has been achieved in the history of humankind has been attributed to a few women and men. Stop this nonsense about us all needing to come together. That’s not right!

The conclusion can only be this. We all should think about our neighbor as ourselves. When one suffers among us it doesn’t stay isolated to that one person. Do you hear me? Thinking about yourself only is appropriate sometimes, but it is also appropriate to think about how your decision affects the decisions I must also make for the life of my family. America’s enemies don’t need to invade us as we are on track to destroy ourselves because our enemies are becoming smarter than we are. They’re using Philosophy and influence to persuade Americans to prize selfishness and stupidity like they are cherished rights to protect at all costs.

As I’ve been informed of a few days ago on MSNBC that a man named Carl Sagan was preaching about the dumbing down of America decades ago. I never knew he was sounding the alarm throughout his life. Well I am disgusted with stupidity and ignorance just as he was. Americans keep destroying yourselves because you’re taking a lot of us down with you. That’s the ultimate way to COLLAPSE this great country!

Issue 9: Careful What You Teach?

Back up a second and let’s look at exactly what was taught to those 26 other girls when the picture without the girl with Down Syndrome was chosen to be displayed. The other girls were taught that the girl with Down Syndrome was less of a human being than they are. The Down Syndrome girl wasn’t presentable enough to represent the school to the State of Utah and the world. A seed was planted in the other 26 girls that it is okay to look ‘down’ on another human being because she doesn’t have the same qualities of ‘appearance’ as they do. It is also okay to dismiss her feelings about the situation because the ‘adults’ (and I’m sure they are Christian Mormon adults) decided it was okay and executed their reasoning by excluding the Down Syndrome girl.

A mistake? Don’t call it a mistake. A mistake is an honest oversight that happens when you righteously live in a manner that respects and gives dignity to all in life and the environment. Oh, before I forget to give my usual warning. Please do not read any further if what comes next in this digital periodical offends your conscience. So stop reading at this point.

This is what my people, Black people, have been saying for centuries. When you design a system of slavery which by definition you don’t have to respect, give dignity, or extend basic consideration to another human being because you own them. You don’t have to think about their feelings. You don’t have to understand how oppression is weighing on their lives. You don’t have to think about how ‘excluding’ people makes them feel denied by the very society they help build. Why should you hear their cries to have full membership in their country? Why even acknowledge slaves exist except as property? Why acknowledge the basic dignity of a ‘Down Syndrome’ girl wanting to be a full member of her cheerleading squad with all rights the same as the other 26 girls?

You don’t have to because you have a historical record of cruelty to other human beings you’re trying to keep from being taught. Yes slavery has ended, but all the structures are still being passed down from generation to generation. What am I saying? The mental structures you idiots! Critical Race Theory seeks to heal the visual record of slavery and the invisible (the more insidious and massive structure) monolith that remains of slavery. I will be a licensed therapist soon and this is what I always tell the patients in the behavioral hospital where I’m honing my chops. In therapy there can’t be any off limits subjects. If it is too much for you to handle I can table it briefly, but I will return to the subject again. Healing is only possible by traversing the ‘road of truth’.

The 1619 Project brings a different perspective to how America was born. Are you too squeamish to learn how cruelty became the business model used to build a nation? Again then cover your eyes and put your hands over your ears because you are weak! Just like these white men who’ve been in power in this country for hundreds of years perverting the meaning of strength and bestowing it on cowards and stooges. A dictator is a strong man? Only a person that didn’t have to consider the cries of the oppressed could conclude that.

A strong man? An autocrat? A despot? Let me make an observation. If I am the ruler of all I behold then why am I afraid of competition? Both mindsets cannot be true. Both mindsets cannot be held at one time. If I am all powerful then why do I feel like I need to have eyes in the back of my head. If you are stricken with a God complex then be a God is all I’m saying. Why give money to ‘certain men’ of note that will do your bidding to keep you in power? Why pay off lapdogs to bark at everyone seeking to approach your throne? Oh, let me move on. Strong man? Yeah right.

Now to conclude this periodical issue with a review. That’s right. What those 26 other girls have been taught will spread out from them and give birth to even more injustice. They now know what they were taught. Cruelty, malice, and having a casual nature of dismissal of all that don’t measure up to what you believe is a whole human being is justifiable. Just give your reasons because they won’t be examined or challenged for their validity. How do you think racism and all the evil that comes with it persists!

Look. I’m a sinner and I do some things that I know God frowns upon, but I will pay for them and I certainly don’t try to worry or judge the sins of others because that is not my job. What I don’t do is teach the young that treating others disrespectfully and viciously is how you achieve salvation. I’ve been saying this consistently now. When you have had power for so long you don’t have a need to truly see the suffering of others. Why would you behold it? Their sufferings don’t matter because it doesn’t touch your life in any way. Let’s thank those Utah administrators for pumping more evil into the world by securing its’ legacy in the hearts of 26 more girls.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 54 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 5:

Of Treasure and the Heart.

I’ll get right to it then. It did not surprise me that the people that control the professional tennis tournaments would chose the money over the welfare of the players that bring notoriety to the game. All too often the first impulse is the one that is true. No, (pause) stop. Don’t give me that crap about all of us are human beings and thus are subject to mistakes. They (Tennis Controllers) showed what was most important to them when they didn’t even consider the suffering of a female tennis player before they swiftly rendered punishment. Ms. Naomi Osaka is a young lady of few years below 25. Let me say this first.

When a person of youth comes to me for discernment and clarity I always tell them to be certain of what you know and don’t know. Be careful in drawing conclusion when you aren’t in possession of all the information you need to make that truth a part of you. Okay, I’ll say it another way. ‘Don’t accept a reality to which you are not a party to its’ creation.’ If you are made aware of something that is presented to you as fact, it is your duty to verify it for yourself with all diligence. I admonish the young to take the time to verify something is true before you believe it is true.

Which brings me to scripture to tie off this edition of this internet periodical. Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The ‘MONEY’ deserved their heart more than that young female tennis player. Yes that’s right! They thought about the money before they ever thought about the welfare of a valued member of the sport that I’m sure generates more money, press, admiration and goodwill for the game than any of the ‘Ruling Board’ that meted out her judgment.

I must make a comparison to contrast the difference in how other professional sports leagues present their interactions when it concerns their players. The Phoenix Suns are in the NBA’s Western Conference Finals. I watched the coaches, players and even some of the executive staff just laud praise and show love and devotion to each other. Permission to remind those among us who do not know this. If you show a human being you value their contribution and show genuine care and concern for them and their family. That human being will move mountains for you. I’ve seen it in my time in the U.S. Army how giving respect and dignity frees soldiers up to perform their duties beyond compare.

Let me say this in all caps. YOUR TREASURE SHOULD BE YOUR PEOPLE! They wouldn’t have to guess anymore. They now know where your heart is.

Mother S. Sayer: The ARC of TIME

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode Four: Extension of Thought

Part One – GAP Integrity

Prologue:

(Broadening my thoughts continues to be a daily task. Whether it has brought me closer to my people is a perception of mine unfounded or documented by measurable research. When I focus on Sarah for example I can feel her joy when I’m in her presence. Now I can’t say for certain it is because she is happy to see me, but I can feel my joy grow as I enter an area close to her. Maybe I’m just doing what I have always done when I sense something needs to be addressed and the mechanics of it in the end must continue their movement. Hopefully in a positive direction.

I have a new ally now in General Tholodious. Some of my time was spent projecting negative feelings about him. When I assume it does make an ass out of you and me. His daughters and mine have gotten along well as all of them grew to adulthood. That is something I hope I had a firm influence on the outcome. Oh why don’t I just admit it. I love my inner circle of trusted confidantes. Se’May you know you must begin to include men in your circle. I know I must do that beyond the man I have on my ‘Council’.

Okay so I need to continue to add to my name. By now all my people know what to expect when they see me coming because ‘word does get around’. Just show your people who you are by how you treat them. They will begin to understand that just going about their positions in the company will not be good enough. They must care as concern for the life of others creates a certain connection that is unmistakable in the remnants that attach symmetrically. What did my father teach me. ‘Show your people. Don’t just say it. Show them’. Nurturing. Watering to protect them from the Sun. Metaphorically of course. Moderating your expectations of your people as you witness their growth. Remember what the ‘Timer’ taught you. What you do to help your people succeed produces ‘energy’ in another ‘realm’.)

Mother Sayer: (The day starts just like it should with purpose and appreciation.). N’tare how are you this morning?

N’tare: Very well. Just finishing some of the preparations for the morning meal. How are you Mother?

Mother Sayer: It is good. My ability to keep an air of humbleness is still with me. Guiding my steps as I begin the day. Breakfast smells really good. That makes the day even more promising.

N’tare: Where are the children?

Mother Sayer: Oh, I’m sure they’re on their way down. I’ve got a lot to get to this day and some of it is has to do with the admonishment side of leadership. No worry though I’ll do it my way and hope the team heads receive it the way it was intended.

N’tare: Righteously as always.

——————-1^st Interlude——————-

(This day must play out as N’tare said as righteously as possible. Mother Sayer broods. She still keeps reminding herself that growth and stress are components of leadership and shielding your people from these factors in more cases than not injures them. It is also true that these components can disable the mind if the person is not ready to handle the adversity. Choices choices. Why am I debating with myself over the necessity of what needs to happen? I’m a major and a nurse trained by the Army to care, treat and save lives. There was not a time I received passing grades if I did not master the material in Nursing School. I must love my people enough to know if they can or cannot handle the position and if they cannot then I must demote them and conduct more guidance and mentoring. Anything less would be a betrayal of what my father and the Army taught me.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother looks over the many reports on her desk that Sarah placed at her request. She opens her office door and asks her to come in and review how her meetings or visits with her team heads will play out.). What I want to do as always is help my people reach the correct conclusions that acknowledges any shortcomings they may or may not have. Address any neglect of their team members skill sets. Lastly show my support through modeling expectations and the necessity of mentorship or coaching. I’ll play it by ear which philosophical bent I’ll follow to reach my objectives.

Sarah W. Certainty: Also add more theatrics if you will through pausing between your statements. Props are also a good visual aid. Tying everything together and how you do it is why I never miss one.

Mother Sayer: One what?

Sarah W. Certainty: One of the best influencers in business. I always want, no I need to be in the audience. My learning isn’t complete either you know.

Mother Sayer: Oh, I’m glad I entertain you.

Sarah W. Certainty: The value to me you will never be able to measure, but I suspect you already know what you’ve done for me.

Mother Sayer: Righteously I do as also my father Mr. Sayer did for me when he exposed me to perception, knowledge, learning, and relevance. What did he say to me? Yes, watch those gaps as those with mischievous intent can insert a lot of foolishness there.

Sarah W. Certainty: I can’t wait to see you in action. Am I being too giddy with anticipation right now? You can tell me you know.

Mother Sayer: I wouldn’t have you any other way Sarah.

——————-2^nd Interlude——————-

(Mother decided on three projects to get an in person update from the team heads. The media project. The BAD project which stands for The Business Acumen and Direction project. The Model project which looks to match a child with an adult in the industry the child has shown aptitude.

The projects work spaces are also selected by direction of travel, by the sunrise and sunset. It is so as it should that human beings know what is first and what should be last. She remembers a saying that fits in this moment. “We’re all adults. Adults should be able to have professional conversations.”).

Mother Sayer: (All of the projects are in development on the 3^rd floor. She decides to stop in on the media project first as it has the most moving parts.). How are you Tuaole (it is pronounced ‘Two oh lee)? (The first one that holds the keys to the entry way of the office environment. Her name is appropriate and her presence elicits pause when someone encounters her. She is Puerto Rican and stands about 5’10 and looks like she just won the WWE title at wrestle mania. Of course the security training Mother puts all her forward facing staff through isn’t a joke either.).

Tuaole Rilyzah: Mother I am as I always said I would speak in response to you. Covered by the grace of God as his gift of eternal life is precious. Thankful to be trusted by a leader that treats her staff with dignity and respect not only in word but in deed. Guilty that I was selected but giving 100% to this company as it gives me no less in return.

Mother Sayer: You are too kind. Everyone should have a chance to fulfill their full destiny as I know so many from our worlds are denied the opportunity. Take us inside. We have much to discuss about what is going on behind these doors.

Tuaole Rilyzah: As you requested, I verified that all the project leaders are here and their team members.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles as she receives Tuaole’s report). Good. Announce my presence and tell all personnel I will be ready for an updated assessment on where the project stands in 10 minutes. (Mother turns to go to the breakroom with Sarah in tow).

Tuaole Rilyzah: (Tuaole asks everyone to gather around her and she explains how this report is going to be absorbed by Mother Sayer. When you speak about the progress of the project make sure you aren’t hedging your ideas on something outside of your control. Speak about the depth of the various media ideas that you have already begun to visualize and where you stand on paper. Know for what purpose and part of life you wish to address your content. Lastly be specific and confident as Mother Sayer can’t be sure of something you don’t believe in.). Okay are you ready for your presentation?

O’Woh E. Line: Yes I am ready for her.

Hekima Beborne: Ready to report.

Oakli Sands: I sure am ready.

Tuaole Rilyzah: (Tuaole takes count and turns to go tell Mother that everyone is ready to brief her on where the project stands.). Mother, they are ready for you.

Mother Sayer: Thank you Tuaole. Sarah let’s go see what they got for us.

——————- ^3rd Interlude——————-

(This project faces the sunrise. Mother knows that what a human beings sees on a consistent basis does more to influence their path than any book smarts could ever accomplish. The time for talk is done. Mother is going to inject some of her own ideas and media content into the world of entertainment. She thinks to herself I hope my morning is off to a good start.).

Mother Sayer: Hekima, you may go first.

Hekima Beborne: My project is twofold. It starts with a television show called the ‘Family and Purpose’. Exploring the reasons why Japanese culture works for Japanese people. The movements are coordinated based on respect and familial authority. It is a show of a family’s honor how their members retain and display their learning. This discipline determines how profitable a family becomes when all the energy is directed as required to each part of the household. A lasting edifice to the family and Japanese culture. The Japanese way of life is depicted truthfully and honorably.

Mother Sayer: How will this be received on television? Can you sell advertisement slots?

Hekima Beborne: As far as audience preferences go I believe an authentic show that reflects the wealth of Japanese culture as it truly is will open a viewers’ desire to know more. As far as selling it to advertisers I believe good content flowing from excellent writing and acting will slowly draw them to this story.

Mother Sayer: Huh? Who will be writing the stories? I already know you’re going to be the Executive Producer.

Hekima Beborne: (This seems to knock Hekima for back a little. She thought she was only responsible for development and not the actual accountability of the project.). Ah, I am the Executive Producer?

Mother Sayer: (This is what I’m talking about. This is what my Father’s purpose was with me. He knew an idea is only as good as someone’s ability to bring it forth from the ether.). Hekima,

I don’t hire manufacturers. I bring on people with the goods. Dismiss any thought you have about laying out the blueprints of an idea. Anyone can do that. I hire people that understand that an idea is theirs from start to completion and beyond.

Can a farmer just plant his crops and allow the elements to provide the growth he desires? Does the farmer know when the crops are ready to burst forth from the ground? I’ll give you an easy one. Does the farmer know when it’s time to harvest his crops?

Hekima Beborne: So, you want someone that knows how to keep hands on and off an idea. Someone who can nurture the growth of an idea with the things necessary for it to grow. Someone capable of purchasing the exact needs of what makes an idea thrive.

Mother Sayer: That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Can you do it?

Hekima Beborne: Yes Mother I can.

Mother Sayer: Good. Now listen carefully to my next question. Can you do it all by yourself? (Mother looks at Hekima and times her response.).

Hekima Beborne: No I cannot do it all by myself.

Mother Sayer: Excellent. That is the right answer. Your culture is alive and well in you. Why did I say that? Hekima, don’t buy into what those in this world try to sell you. We all have our latent gifts, traits or inherent designs. Embrace the richness of your culture. Never deny or seek to disgrace your heritage. I am who I am today because I draw to me the full blessings of the First Father’s creation.

How long before you have 5 episodes written for me to review?

Hekima Beborne: I’ll have to hire writers, producers and show designers.

Mother Sayer: (Mother waves her hands as if to signal why are you voicing something to me I already know.). How long?

Hekima Beborne: (Hekima turns to her team for a huddle.). Give me 45 days.

Mother Sayer: Good. Until then. (Mother turns to leave with Sarah and Tuaole. She catches Tuaole giving Hekima a short smile.). Tuaole, give me a 15 minutes before you take me to the next project. I will do an after action report with Sarah now.

Sarah W. Certainty: You challenged her.

Mother Sayer: That I did. How do you think she will respond? I think she is capable, but inexperienced.

Sarah W. Certainty: I saw a window of desire open in her eyes. A desire to finally show what she can do. I think she trusts you to allow her to get it done, but all human beings are afraid of letting down someone showing trust in them.

Mother Sayer: Should I pop in on her team from time to time to let her know she doesn’t have to worry about failing me?

Sarah W. Certainty: I would do this. In the 6 weeks you gave her call her once a week for an update on the project. Call her at the same time every week so she can prepare for the consistency of the check in. Encourage her but push her as well. What did you tell me? Ah yes, keep some pressure on your people so you can discover for yourself their strengths and weaknesses. If you don’t know them then you’re putting the whole operation in jeopardy of failure.

Mother Sayer: Yes. Gap Integrity. Make sure the instruction stays on the curriculum I’ve approved. Don’t want my people influenced by education that bleeds away their success.

Sarah W. Certainty: You’re making me giddy again. Focusing the energy of your people has produced the results you have foreseen. How do you do it? Maintain such discipline and focus?

Mother Sayer: Years of doing the same thing over and over Sarah. I don’t know of anything else.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s how it is then.

Mother Sayer: Yeah. That’s how it is.

I FOUND MY BROTHER

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 54 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue 4:

Explain That to Me?

Now to review. The Republican men have always held up to these so called Evangelicals (EvanDevilcals I call them) that they were pious and worthy of their support because they practiced the beliefs and commandments of the Almighty. No no one at a time will this be done. A lie. That’s appropriate to start there. Former President Trump said he won the 2020 Presidential Election. Did he Republicans? Republicans answer ‘yes’. What does the Holy Bible say in response to these ‘EvanDevilcals’ that follow the Republicans about a lie. 1 John 2:4 “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a ‘liar’, and the ‘truth’ is not in him.”

Okay so that discrepancy is solved right ‘EvanDevilcals’? Moving on. Let’s do certification covered with decency and order. Your God speakers are already discredited for speaking lies to you ‘EvanDevilcals’ in the name of God, but what excuse do they have for not following their code of ethics in the performance of their duties? They defaulted or disregarded their oaths of office these elected Republicans to agree with a lie, so in essence not affirming the results of a valid and legal election makes sense to me at least. What does the scripture say? 1 Timothy 1:7 “desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm”.

So the Republicans would disregard the whole experiment of America because they really could care less about what is right and what is wrong. I believe the ‘EvanDevilcals’ knew who they were all along. It just burst fully out in the open on January 6, 2021, for those that knew the lie was more comforting to their mind than the truth. Well you know what they say about success? Being a success requires patience along with following a strict moral, ethical, and righteous code. The ARC of Time will bless you with a lasting success for conducting yourself and the energy of your actions in the right way. In essence, fooling some people produces the results we saw on that cold day in January.

Lastly let’s look at our interconnections. As I wrote in ‘America: The ReRoute’, I will not debate the ‘First Father’ nor his design ever! What he created can no man put asunder. A diverse slate of human beings presents a great challenge to us all. Unfortunately the heart of man is like a runaway engine when it decides who it wants to be. Evil has triumphed in that contest all too many times. Think about that a minute. What if humanity chose the opposite when looking out over a diverse field of human beings. What if the voices of good triumphed in those days and times? I have some thoughts I will share with you now.

Humanity would flourish as in Genesis 11. Even though he again poured out more diversity in tongue; he didn’t restrict us from working together for greatness. Maybe building a tower to reach Heaven is still not a good thing though. Anyway, ancient history has an example when it did happen. We all worked together to achieve something great. Do we need to all come together and agree as one? No. We elect our leaders to discern and enable cooperation, agreement and progress grounded in truthful debate. That’s the mandate underlying the establishment of our governing system.

One more thing before I close out this issue. Family. We are all part of the human race and should never portion out favor, gifts, punishments or partiality to any race, religion, gender, or wealth. Love thy neighbor as thyself is not hard to understand. Maybe it is? If a member of my family behaved in ways that I did not instruct I would be admonishing that family member accordingly. What am I referring to? Ephesians 14-15: “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.”

So ‘EvanDevilcals’ you know the truth now. Continue to back your gang of Republican liars and you are teetering this great experiment of America on the edge of a cliff with jagged marble below. Your false Gods of Republican charlatans are revealed to you. Frankly, you deserve the ridicule you get ‘EvanDevilcals’ because what? ‘It is a perception that has survived for generations. Kiss the ass of the leader and ignore the smell.’ It still will never make you legit. A fool and his vote will soon part. I know it’s a take on a fool and his money, but it makes the same point.

COLORED PEOPLE:

The STRIPES of Healing

Founding Statement:

Issue 8: Clarity in Self-Care

This is as important as any of the topics underlying the pain colored people have endured as much as the whip. Mental Health and Self-Care are not just words in a news article. These words elicit mandatory clarification because the way those words are applied are critical to understanding the stimuli bombarding the human heart and mind. I will not debate the Almighty or his purpose in how his creation learns, but one of those ways may seem unfair as we are most likely to be hit with stimuli we don’t understand before we can understand it. Do you get what I mean as even I am hard pressed to explain it any other way.

The young lady playing tennis stepping away from the court means that she is seeking clarity for the stimuli she is withstanding. I read her statement and she clearly has great respect for her craft. The mistake at first on those that see it as a business failed to consider that she isn’t a machine that can be walled off from her personal life and the journey of exploration to which she is underway in her life. Listen to my next statement. “Stimuli often comes before understanding and clarity is achieved. Human beings often forget that our ‘Maker’ bore us into family, communal, tribal, matriarch or patriarchal systems that by definition means we must learn from those that came before us. The teacher can be anyone who has obtained knowledge and wisdom and is able to bestow that knowledge on those younger that he or she. The young lady tennis player may not have that elder there to help her process the stimuli she is experiencing. She can obtain clarity, but she must talk to someone that knows more than her about Mental Health and Self-Care.”

Healing comes from reaching out or that good friend not just telling her she should go talk to somebody. Be like Black people and snatch they friend up and tell them we’re going to see somebody and you’re going to get help right now. If you’re not that member of the family system that can bring clarity to a family member that’s struggling then ask around, somebody needs to get help right away. Stop being a family member in name only. I know you can never do it for them, but you can be insistent and clear in telling them by showing them you love them.

I say lastly again. Don’t just offer your love or send energy to her (N. Osaka). I’m glad those that see her as more than just a money machine are giving a dam about her. Don’t tell somebody you care show them you care. Offer to be at their side when they make the call for help. Yes, there are ways you can help your friend other than putting hands on them and making them do it. Yes, being supportive with your energy right there side by side throwing your energy into their energy can and will produce results positively.

All life is precious and I can’t say otherwise because I am not the ‘First Father’. No that tennis player is not a ‘brat’. She is a woman in pain and she needs our help because she is a member of the human race. Money cannot explain, comfort or bring clarity to the stimuli we all face and have faced in our lives. It is not about how much money anybody makes. It is about loving thy neighbor as thyself. Can we at least agree to have compassion for that.

AMERICA: THE REROUTE

Preamble: The Creator’s Diversity

The ones who hold the power tell the story. The quote went something like that. Make peace with that truth and let’s move on to how power can wreck a weak mind. When the King eats from the same soil and drinks from the same pond how then did humankind conclude that denying these basic truths could unify us all? How the realization of what power brings to those that possess it can influence human being that are weak of spirit. When their spirit is enticed to commit acts of evil when those in power that are evil hearted require it of them. The Creator gifted his diverse creation carefully. The care he intended has been perverted by one race intent on maintaining their power instead of sharing it as we share the land, water and the air. America is that experiment. May I say it has never reached it’s full potential because she (Motherly pronoun) has never loved all her children.

Confession. What does it mean? I’m asking for the ancient meaning of the word and why God uses it to forcefully awaken us to our behavior both spiritually and physically. You’ll have to wait because I want to get to the point of this periodical online newsletter. Let’s take a hard look at America right now in this day and time in the year of our Lord 2021. Suddenly majority rule is meaningless. Playing by the rules is subject to a review by a Governor or a Judge with no evidence needed to prove standing in making such a claim. The winner chosen from a diverse (there’s that word again) group of voters is questionable because they didn’t pick my candidate.

Let’s stop right there. Why would an adult believe that other adults couldn’t vote for anyone but their guy? Why would an elected official legitimize their warped thinking as somehow justifiable? Does that elected official believe they are discharging the duties of their office faithfully to America? America as a nation established our governing system after a final conclusion of voting. When the certification is done that’s it. If an elected official has doubts about the outcome he or she better produce evidence to back it up or face a charge of sedition. This crap going on now because some people who voted for President Trump feel he was the greatest man since President Lincoln and couldn’t have loss fair and square need to have a bed reserved at a looney hospital.

America must reroute now! That Presidential election is over and we have work to do. Look at history and you will see that we grow when the government spends the money to expand beyond the confines of our thoughts that limit our potential. When I was growing up in Birmingham, Alabama I heard my Dad speak of limitations. In my house there are possibilities that I know are ripe for expansion. America must focus on her house and not the house of China or any other house that people in the media say will surpass us one day. What’s the saying? “Worry about your own house.”

President Biden should hit growth with everything in America’s arsenal. I’m going to alter the saying about immersing yourself in the problem will shorten the length of that problem. America should ‘Immerse itself in building the structure and foundation of a new industrial and technology age that when we set atop it, it will withstand twice its’ design limits.’ We could double our economy. Go from 22 trillion to 44 trillion in 15 years! Imagine putting the imagination of all our diversity to this shared goal. We could show the world that America understands her flaws and she is willing to bring them out in the open to achieve her unity.

Now to the definition of ‘Confession’. It is an eruption from within…Letting out of something that harms you like poison or disruptive thoughts…Spew out from the body that which troubles you…It is known that with the mouth confession is made…the tears of the eyes and the emotions of the heart and mind completes the trinity of healing.

America giving confession of her soul and what wrongs she has committed is necessary to heal her. Keeping in the atrocities of her history only continues to weaken her. A truthful telling of her ‘acts’ is how America can achieve her promise. Remember embracing the problem fully tends to shorten the length of time we must make peace with it. Ignoring the problems checkered throughout her history insults her potential legacy of finally achieving her greatness! Truth sets free more than your mind. It will set free a nation!

REROUTING….

I FOUND MY BROTHER

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 54 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue Three:

Tell It Like Is!

I will start with something that still seems to be confusing. How any system is created, established and sustained. Take slavery for example. The foundation of slavery was the need for labor to build a stolen country America for sure. To start off you don’t have money to pay for labor so you need to take it from somebody. Fast forward to having it the labor that is. Now that stolen labor is working just fine you now have to establish it. That’s where the law comes in. I mean you do have to protect your free labor system right?

Fast forward again to the sustainment period. I mean America was working very well taking free labor that was sanctioned by law and blessed by the (so called) church. Now let us pause and ‘check on learning’. Did I hear a Black man no less a United States Senator from South Carolina say America is not a racist country? Why would he say that? I’m speaking only to the very few human beings blessed with the gift of understanding a three letter word ‘WHY’? Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Do you really think a system of slavery is so easily erased mind you that it went unchallenged for hundreds of years no less? You really think the fruit of that grounded system of slavery somehow aren’t being spewed out of our upbringing this very day? I’ll put it simpler for those not blessed with ‘WHY’ understanding. ‘You think you can eat the same meal that tasted that good for so long and not want that same meal forever’? Why do you think it took so long to end slavery? Better yet or more clearly I mean the physical parts of it, but the mental pillars of hatred linger in what we refer to as racism today.

Back to Senator Scott. You know the old saying that people need to know where you stand if the shit hits the fan and all that. In Revelation 3:16 where he says if you are lukewarm he will spue you out of his mouth. The worst thing about some human beings of African descent is this. It’s not that they don’t tell the truth. It’s not that they don’t tell the truth to people of different races. The worst thing about some of these people is that they don’t tell themselves the truth. That my loyal readers means holding yourself accountable! It means that some people of African descent don’t have a set of rules they govern themselves by no matter the situation in which they find themselves.

It further means that sort of person will do whatever or say whatever no matter if the truth immediately condemns them. Which means a person should know where you stand just as God said you need to be hot or cold. Lukewarm folks is not an option available to you okay. Senator Scott has salted his name because he has shown he does not possess the reasoning to understand the historical record of America. Let’s say you decide to paint a room in your home a different color. Sure you can paint over the color that was there before, but the shade underneath is still present.

Furthermore, let me break it down another way. If I order a car through my favorite automotive manufacturer I request the features I want included right? The car is then built with the add on features within guidelines allowed under the law. Do you really think that slavery and the remnants of that system of racism, redlining, white flight, Confederate revisionist, unequal justice in courts, hateful police, master race delusions, and weaponizing skin color because of the historical treatment of Black people. You really think a system like that which worked extraordinarily can be dismantled and discarded so easily? It worked great for the people who oversaw it. Okay then what replaced the system of slavery? I John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Sounds like accountability doesn’t it?

Don’t worry ‘EvanDevilicals’ I haven’t forgotten you. Your home. Who would you invite into your home? Would it be thieves? Would it be greedy people? Would it be liars? Would it be adulterers? Would it be people that know the truth and don’t say it when lives are at stake? Malachi 3:5 “And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Wow that verse covers a lot of the Republicans and ‘EvanDevilicals’ platform. I hope those jurors in the Chauvin trial lived by the truth because any other verdict would’ve lined them up for Hell with Chauvin. Yes, all the trials of all those police officers that killed Black folks and any folks for that matter voted to set them free did answer and will answer to God for their decision. By the way I’ll defend Lebron James because he is right. This is why. How do you know who started a confrontation or started a fight when you just roll up to the scene? Remember the father defending his son against a woman claiming he stole her cellphone? Look at the staff of that hotel and how they reacted to the situation. They fell on the side of the young woman. ‘WHY’. Did they have information that told them she was in the right? Did they see the young Black kid steal her phone? What evidence did they possess that left them without a shadow of doubt that her assertions were accurate? The police officer in Idaho has some kind of superpower that tells him when he rolls up on a scene who started the confrontation? All those people that cheered that officer in his faulty assertions I’m afraid of them. I’ve come home and found my children arguing many times. I ask questions of both of them in an attempt to ascertain the truth. I don’t come in the house and immediately punish them both. That’s just to use a southern word ‘trifling’.

That officer rolling up to the scene got the story after the fact, but it’s too late then because a girl is now dead. Again I have to go revisit my service in the U. S. Army. I spent over 30 months in combat zones and not once did the Army teach me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was taught professionalism and honor. You must have positive identification and know the situation before you open fire on anybody! Now do you want another excusable action added to the already full arsenal of police use of force? Careful what you wish for.

Lastly I found it extremely offensive for Senator Scott to repeat or use God’s name in his response. Don’t lie and then by impression think God is with you when you lie. Everything his party members say when invoking the name of God they will answer for. Remember it’s not that liars say they are changing the rules a little to make it better. It is those little changes or obstacles that eventually become a system and when that system is based on a lie then it operates in darkness. The darkness I refer to is not the night that follows the day, but the darkness that comes from the evil that so easily spue from the heart of humankind. Once some of these people taste darkness it then becomes a delicacy they can’t do without.

Issue 7: Time to Descend?

Writing this issue has been delayed on purpose until after the trial of that police officer that killed George Floyd. Now to be sure and inform you that this issue will be written in strong language that may be unsuitable for sensitive eyes. Be careful if you choose to continue absorbing this issue because I’m about to reveal some ugly truths about how we got to this position of illusory justice in America.

“This is what happens when you cover yourself (America) in darkness thinking you will not be engulfed by it, but you end up in a straitjacket void of buckles or ties unable to wiggle your way out of it”.

The US Supreme Court for decades willfully leaving it up to the police to define what they think is reasonable. The US Supreme Court for decades abdicating their responsibility to clearly state or uphold the law. The US Congress for decades has failed to legislate a set of just laws that created one standard for law enforcement nationwide. Why do rational human beings think that giving anybody God like powers enables them to restrain their base impulses? I would rather that police officer Chauvin exercised his right to testify. Got on the stand and told the courtroom and the rest of the world that I killed (that nigger) George Floyd because I knew a jury of white people (Christian folk) would let me off with a wink and a nod.

The police say they are being characterized unfairly? When a police union official states that killing a boy with his hands raised was perfect police conduct? Right! I have to contrast that statement with what I was trained to do in the US Army. Warfare is not chaotic in reality. It requires professional soldiers that identify the target (PID Positive Identification) before firing your weapon. For those that do not know it simply means that the enemy must be clearly identified before discharging your weapon. Yes, civilians could be innocently there in urban environments going about their daily lives and shouldn’t be killed because they were inadvertently close to your target.

Police want your respect and admiration even when they act with indifference to human life? Say that again. The police want your respect even when they are afraid and they shoot first and kill a citizen? Maybe the police want a blank sheet (US Supreme Court) so they can write what happens to fit the lies they so easily tell. Yeah ‘EvanDevilcals’ the police lie as easily as anyone else except they are the ones with the guns and the law backing up whatever bullshit they pull out they ass.

Now to the Lawyer for Officer Chauvin and don’t tell me the smirk on his face didn’t mirror the one on Chauvin’s the day he chose to kill that nigger. Why I say it like that look no further than the ‘Devils’ that worship whatever God they do in their churches on Sundays. Why does everything have to take an act of government to say that it is wrong? Why can’t these so called ‘EvanDevilcals’ ever say lynching is wrong long ago. Killing other human beings because of the color of their skin is wrong. Why these juries like the one that could not convict that Officer for shooting Walter Scott? It was on film was it not? Maybe it was not really murder when an Officer shoots an unarmed human being in the back no less. Kind of cowardly isn’t it?

Yet a Christian couldn’t see that it was wrong. Tells you everything you need to know about what they are learning in their churches doesn’t it? I will tell you what I would wish for if I had one wish. I would wish that I could just be allowed by God to witness one of these evil men or women when God asks them did they do it and why. Of course God knows already what was on their heart when they did it, but I would like to be present when he caste one of those evil folk to condemnation in Hell. Yes juries of all white people past, present and future you’re going to have to answer for why you didn’t vote to meet out justice when the truth was clear as day to you. I am not sorry for telling you this. You will be standing right next to them in Hell so I hope being in power had its’ carnal benefits. There will be a day everybody will have to answer why these killings have gone on this long.

Now do you understand why America is stuck on a descending ride to darkness. Guns absent just authority led to this. You can’t hope human beings will do the right thing. The US Supreme Court are supposed to be made up of smart people and even they don’t want to do their jobs! I went to one of my favorite burger joints the other day and ordered a chicken sandwich meal. When my order was ready the young lady put the sandwich in the bag and slightly threw it on the counter while saying my order number. I come up to the counter and shake the bag and then point at it. You know what the young lady said? “What, I don’t know what that means.” I said, “Read the ticket where are my fries.” She said something else smartly and then I just couldn’t hold back. I said, “Do you job, I shouldn’t have to tell you your job. You work here.”

It seems that in every position of power at every level of government from State to Federal no one wants to take any ‘heat’ or criticism for God forbid doing what’s right! Why are you in the position? If you don’t want to do your job then resign and let somebody else make the tough decisions. “You can’t dance in darkness all the time because sooner rather than later you won’t see your feet and who knows where you’re dancing off to.”

TIME TO DESCEND will last how much longer? God help us if we continue to care so frivolously about life because we can’t create a just society if we allow the ‘voice of evil’ to guide our path out of the darkness. Healing starts at home with the truth being told. All those ‘EvanDevilcals’ that stated God sent us President Donald Trump need to repent openly their statements. Or not. Either way I am reminded of a verse of scripture. “Be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with good.”

Issue 6: Unending ‘REGISTRATION’ to Vote?

What does it mean ‘Register to Vote’? I’m confused because I thought that once you are registered to vote that it was a one time deal. A record of your information is permanently created Right? Now of course if you move or change your voting location it only requires a simple update of your information. Revelation 21:27 “And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Oh in case you don’t want to read the chapter it is about Jerusalem.

Now that we have that settled as to the fact that it is a redundant obstacle put in place by those who have achieved power with an unclean heart. Yes, if a voter goes to an official state government office and provides identification which is verification then why does a voter have to show identification to a non-government volunteer in order to vote? Right! If they wish to put a system in place to harass or be skeptical of every voter then you better institute a facial recognition system and not put the onus on the voter to prove their identity when they already done it! That is why there is an objection to voter ID because it gives unelected and unlegislated power to somebody who is just there as a volunteer to check my credentials.

Now back to Georgia’s new voting law. I’m speaking loosely here mind you. Well the scripture says that if you base your law on a lie what did God say about that? Again, how many times I have to say this. You can’t have it both ways! That’s why I cringe when unlearned men and women speak about more layers of stinking obstacles ‘only’ on a voter as long as it sounds reasonable isn’t so bad. That’s why ‘boycotts’ work because a right so precious as voting is a right that comes with ‘shared’ implications for a better society. Next paragraph will help explain why.

The Israelites oppressed by bondage in Egypt. Would it surprise you that Pharaoh knew by taking away straw that the Israelites used to make bricks would cause a backlash against Moses and Aaron? If this is new to you then you need to take a closer look at your walk with ‘The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost’. Yes it caused Moses to ask God for ‘clarification’ let’s say. You know where I’m going with this right? Listen to me now if you don’t get anything else out of this issue. When the work is so important because it is for the benefit of all it means everybody must suffer to get it accomplished! Read Exodus Chapter 6 and try to understand.

When the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott began everybody accepted the fact that it was a necessary tactic to gain dignity as human beings. There was doubt and complaining why I got to suffer, or I don’t want to upset the ‘Pharaoh’ because he might become even more distraught with us. I don’t care if humanity has a few more ‘toys’ that make us believe we are now above sacrificing for the greater good. Is the sacrifice of one man not taught in Church anymore? Did Jesus die for us all?

Romans 14:7 “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.” Only thinking about yourself huh? How does that work when hatred and oppression are abounding more and more! So yes, as a Black man I agree with any elected official, company, citizen, sports league acknowledging the truth that all these voter laws are a not so thinly disguised onslaught to elevate people of hatred over people wanting to uplift other people. Reduce the amount of voters and you can elect all these so called ‘Christian Politicians’ who are the scum of the Earth just going to further enrich themselves. Yeah right and right now they are called Republicans. Wow, even when President Trump uses trickery to take his supporters money they still love him. That’s as great a religion as I’ve ever seen or heard of. (Sarcasm).

Issue 5: IDOL GOD IS THEIR GOD

I think I have said this a thousand times. The ‘DEVIL’ will show you who he is by his actions toward others. Let the ‘DEVIL’ be the ‘DEVIL’ please and in so doing all will be revealed unto you. You can’t make this stuff up. Let me speak about the new Georgia law and then we can all see how it lines up with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is a crime to give food and water to another human being standing in a voting line. Romans 12: vs 20 – 21, “Therefore IF THINE ENEMY HUNGER, FEED HIM; IF HE THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: FOR IN SO DOING THOU SHALT HEAP COALS OF FIRE ON HIS HEAD. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Now to Idol Gods. Republicans and evangelicals obviously aren’t following and certainly not living by the word of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Who say you then are they living by? The only other choice is the ‘DEVIL’. Let’s dissect and compare what God said and what these Republican evangelicals said. First God said if you say I’m your enemy then at least provide me food and water. Oh goodness, yes these Republicans evangelicals stated by the law they put into effect that Colored People are their enemy. Yes they seek to overcome good with evil. These evangelical Churches are not houses of worship to God, but houses of worship to the ‘DEVIL’. I bet you every last one of those White Men to include the Governor of Georgia are Pastors or Deacons wherever they go to worship their ‘God’.

Of course this is where law enforcement needs to step up as well. Those that wear the uniform and are of good will should be in their leaders faces telling these legislators your ‘unjust’ laws will not be enforced. I wrote a blog post long ago about ‘How Do You Degrade An Organization’. Dah! In the military I learned that an unlawful order you are duty bound to not follow. Oh, for those that don’t understand it means that you can’t hide behind a superior’s order and not be held to account. You’re still going to jail! You sit here and do something you know is unjust. That’s how you lose the public’s trust dummy!

Georgians, your leaders are degrading your great state. Stop looking at the skylines of your great cities because they’re getting dirty too, and sooner or later someone has to clean those windows too in order to see out of them clearly. Oh, one other thing about the so called divisions among us. Romans 16: vs 17-18, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

We’re not children. Politics are the systems used to govern a just society. When some people start spewing this vile crap about politics can’t be discussed are calling you a ‘simpleton’. I also understand that humanity is still a work in progress, but humanity and all related facets of it shouldn’t be shown indifference by the citizens within it. Pay attention citizens of America to your governments. If you don’t like it then go through the proper procedure to change it. Let me be clear so everyone reading my journals know where I stand. I choose my elected officials by knowing what they stand for. I don’t support lunatics in clown attire with horns and bear spray injuring police while breaking windows and damaging the halls of government.

Now if everybody else want their ignorant relatives, friends and evangelical church members running the country, then by all means help them get elected. I’ll take an ‘Atheist’ that is moral and full of integrity living by a code any day over a so called ‘Evangelical’. Colored People I’m hoping will stop taking all these beatings and say enough is enough. Start running for public office and whatever you live by do the right thing by those you seek to represent.

Issue 4: There Are FOUR or More Witnesses to the Truth

I will explain the topic of this issue in a little bit of writing, but first I want to acknowledge to all that seek the truth that America is finally adding every voice to the chorus of her song. The verses are still being written line by line and will come forth when the singers from each race gather to harmonize and belt the tune for all to hear. Now to explain the topic of discussion for this issue.

What was it that one Republican official said, oh “We didn’t send him up there to vote his conscious. We didn’t send him up there to do the right thing”. Another Republican in Texas said what, oh “Only the strong will survive and the weak will ‘parish’ (perish actually)”. I’m not finished yet. What did another Republican do, oh “Orlando is awesome, it’s not as nice as Cancun”. The fourth Republican said, oh “Yes, that’s the plan with Federal assistance to help them pay their electricity bills. I have to give you a fifth Republican, oh “Governor Abbott of Texas, oh “This is the result of the Green New Deal of wind and solar power”. Number five Republican, a Senator from Missouri, oh “I objected to the electoral college certification”. Now what American greatness do you get out of these voices?

I get the feeling that these voices would like to take us back to whips and chains. How dare you pay your taxes and demand good governance! How dare you expect me to care about the people that voted me into office, or better said I only care for the people with ‘money’ that voted me into office. The rest of you are just a nuisance I can whip into a stupor to believe that somebody wants free money (Blacks and every poor White person) and by voting Republican I will make sure the money only goes to the rich. Your response Republican voters? Sure! There is nothing like the onset of a preventable hardship to clear the mind of some of the ignorant among us. Some people sadly will never believe the truth (to which they have the right and God given freedom to remain stupid) and no amount of facts in evidence as stated above will convince them.

Let us first understand why their cognitive abilities are dulled. Romans 10 verse 2-3 “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” That is why you saw all these false prophets last year sprouting foolishness that God wanted Donald Trump to remain the leader of this great nation. Now not only will they have to stand before God and answer for that blasphemous statement, but there will not be any idiots around giving a standing ovation when these false prophets answer God.

I have spoken of this widely known phenomenon about one race in power and the cognitive decay that comes with it. It leads to madness! In a diverse country such as America there is the sense of inevitable might by strength of force that one race will never hold onto power forever. It is insanity to think so. No I will not spend a great deal of time listing all the contributions from people who do not look like one another to the goal or great endeavor of this country. To prove that a land exists where governing by all the people is possible, desperately and unmistakably woven into the fabric of its creation. Anyone that stands before people and lies about that fact is doing it for their own profit. Let me describe it another way. That’s just like somebody standing on the dry floor of the Red Sea after all of God’s chosen has passed safely through and this person thinks that putting both hands on the wall of water will keep it from crashing down upon him. That is the meaning of that stupid phrase “Make America Great Again”. Great for who? Great in what time period? How great is a country that doesn’t empower all its citizens?

Do you know what the word ‘publican’ meant in Biblical times? A ‘publican’ describes a person that collected taxes. What you ask then are the ‘Republicans’? Ask them that question and then remember the answer for it will enlighten you as to whether they even know why they are members of their party and government was and is the major part of their historical record. Ask them why then they seek to distort the purpose of government which is to fund the needed operations of the ‘state’. Ask them was that not the way the Romans formed armies and dominated the world? Did they not erect buildings and help to create an elaborate and interconnected society? Maybe the Republicans are afraid of the truth getting out and the people turning on them. Oh well I guess it does pay to keep your supporters ignorant. For how long though?

Finally, to the truth being told to you more than one time and you still not believing it. Saint Matthew 18 verse 16 “But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY WORD MAY BE ESTABISHED.” I still fight my impulses every day not to marvel at what I have witnessed. Let me get this straight. I wish to not be under government rule, but I want government to come to my aid when my chosen government looks upon me with contemptible disdain. Yeah, Texans I must commend you for letting your state government feel so strongly about you. I am sure they will help you fix your power, water, gas and winterize your infrastructure. Sarcasm seems an ineffective illustration to fit the situation in Texas. Republicans, I must use one of your Federal representatives word to describe the ‘wool they have pulled over your eyes’. It is awesome to be elected by people to whom you don’t owe nothing in return!

There you have it. Do I need to spell out how to heal from this self-inflicted disaster, or would Texans just like to whipped across the back until there is no skin or muscle left to rip from your bones? Wow! Self government. If that is the manifestation of it I’ll take my chances with ‘everything being done decently and in order’. Yeah I read that somewhere in the Bible too.

I Found My Brother

I FOUND MY ‘BROTHER’

CORNERSTONE STATEMENT:

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins. Ignorance will no longer be tolerated, encouraged or celebrated. As the ‘First Father’ has said in his Holy Bible “let everything be done decently and in order”. Honor and truth will not be perverted anymore. Why? Because as a Black Man I will impart all I have learned and gathered for over 54 years of life in America and around the world to the young coming behind me and my elders above me. Why? Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue Two:

What Happens When the Bombardment Begins?

The bombardment I’m referring to in this journal issue is the bombardment of what goes with that choice. Every decision has applied tasks and implied tasks. If two human beings choose to get married in the traditional male and female union, there are some preparations that must be started for the joining to be successful. The needs each partner has which covers commitment, trust, love and financial security. Which of these structural necessities that order an agreeable union could be discarded when trials and tribulations strike a family? Commitment perhaps? Maybe trust or love? Financial security is a deal breaker because both partners must be able to survive and money is a necessity.

Why don’t we bombard a Black man with confusion when it comes to the requirements to forming a family? Blind his senses in ways that lead him to believe that just the act of marriage is all that is important and the other needs will be added in time. Love will keep us together. Love conquers all. Where there is love there is hope. Love is unconditional (this one I believe is the stupidest bumper sticker façade ever created). Oh, just forget the promises inserted throughout the marriage vows. Let me go one better just to please the ‘helium head romantics’. Even God has requirements on how to show your love for him does he not?

Then the bombardment starts. The dwelling place is in jeopardy because the income that is supposed to provide for a decent living is no more adequate. Momma and baby are crying, in different ways for sure, that this situation is starting to not be the one they signed up for. Health care is a critical need from teeth to toes and right now a doctor is unaffordable. Now somebody need to come up with some solutions because this moment in time is now unsustainable. Then it happens. Like a fox sliding through a hole in a chicken fence and nothing but ‘air and opportunity’ between him and the hen house. Separation! All too often it is the endgame for many Black men to get out from under the pressure of a family.

All the foolish slogans of joy in every part of life vary slightly in wording throughout the history of Black America. There will be many more times I will state the truth even if it should be obvious. ‘Know what you are getting yourself into before you make that decision’. Once a marriage is sealed and children are born the valves are open and cannot be closed again. A new life has needs and requirements that are nonnegotiable. That is the destruction of the Black family. That is the confusion that has been cultivated from years of the vile cruelty of slavery. That is why some of our people still go around thinking they can be a ‘self-made man’. What nonsense! No, I will not waste space in this journal explaining why that concept is horse dung.

Solution:

This may sound simple but the potency is beyond measure. Do not abandon your support system! The best way to back up this edition? The words of the First Father in the Authorized King James version Holy Bible. Ecclesiastes 4 verse 10: “For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.” Maybe this one will reinforce itself. Ecclesiastes 4 verse 12: “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” This is one of the cruelest facets of the legacy of slavery. White men did not just strip the Black man of all his dignity; they made sure to dismantle all that the Black man knew would keep him strong. His family! So no sir! We are still hammering away at the outer wall of that monolith and someday we are going to get inside and when we do we are going to set the ‘righteous charges of God on every pillar’ and bring down the whole super structure of hatred and oppression on itself.

Brothers, this journal is a call to all of you to obtain the knowledge that you lack in every part of your lives. As sons. As brothers. As fathers. As grandfathers. As uncles. As cousins.

Things that now appear as they do will begin to appear as they should be according to what is right? Help me see to it as this mandate has been divinely ordered.

Issue One:

In order to solve a problem there must be an admittance of what the problem is. The black male has been bombarded with very specific attacks throughout our existence in America. The first attack targeted what we believed we were. A family man enslaved in America. Take away his role as a father, husband and son while stripping him of his dignity.

The second target was a systemic and constant attack to relieve the Black male of his responsibility to someone else. If the Black male believes that he does not need to help another human being then his efforts alone would end at his capture or death. Therefore strip the Black male of his love for his brother and he will be easily defeated.

The third attack is a doozy. Give a few Black males a morsel of success and then get them to say that it is possible for all Black males to have success if they had these factors at their disposal. A two parent home with a Black father that supported their needs. An enrollment in a proper school with educated teachers. This third factor must be included and it is keep them isolated from too many of their kind. Keep the Black male isolated and with his success intact and he will blame all Black males for their own failure.

These strongholds must be broken apart. The mind, soul and the heart are my targets. When I understood why Black males have been behaving as they do I needed to formulate a solution to the problem. I still believe there is a great spirit waiting to break through to display the Black male’s soul, but it has to be brought forth in ‘decency and in order’.

My first solution is this and I want every Black male to start from where they are now. I know that could be while skills are nowhere to be found. Trouble with the criminal justice system and indebted with unpaid obligations. Behaving badly because of the things you have learned and the response to your actions is giving you the same. Start changing from within. Your mind is the best place to start. Respect yourself and respect others is where you must start. We will go forth from there.

Georgia Sky

Georgia, Look at the Sky

Georgia, I have often marveled at your skyline after traversing across the state line from Alabama. What did I look upon you ask? Well the answer may take a little time of which I hope you give me freely. First I want to address the pandemic of the Coronavirus plaguing the world. The historical record is often in conflict. Humankind in this day and age looking to show superiority to the past in that one area that matters. What is that you ask? Who was first to decipher the clues and who was first to suggest the right counter measures that saved lives? Even when those that are learned among us and those that hold authority in service to us know the answers come after the fact. What, the body creates a defense to an illness prior to the onslaught? Yeah, right!

No one wants to answer this question? Why did we not see this coming? Disease, illness and injury is part of the human experience. Why do so many of our distinguished scholars, leaders, and clergy still believe they can tell from which way the wind originated? My point? Why waste time on things that are not in the realm of humankind to control? Now, back to the reason for this post. Georgia smells different as I cross over from Alabama. The odor or aroma seems to indicate a willingness to always error on the side of progress even after acknowledging the fact that there are those that wish to beckon Georgia back to a flawed and foolish time of racial hatred.

That is my point Georgia. While a disease always gets a head start in ravaging the body, it is walked down by the speed of the cures, vaccines and mitigation protocols that always triumph before humanity is destroyed. The opposite of that scenario should always be the norm when it comes to how humanity chooses progress. Georgia, you have chosen progress! Remember Georgia it can be whisked away from you when you take your eyes off the prize. What do I mean by that? Not taking a serious interest in your government. Capping the top on ideas because the rainbow is not representative of the people. Thinking voting one time solves all those wanting to deny everybody a future is enough. I believe I read somewhere that good and evil is locked in an eternal conflict.

So, looking at the Georgia sky line generates those good endorphins every time I am blessed to behold it. I can only imagine what it must feel like for Georgia’s citizens waking up every day as the mist clears and Georgia calls you to greatness. That is what the promise must have felt like as unselfish women and men of your state sought to embrace the good and shun the bad. If they failed, they would fail choosing to make life better for everyone. This is how Georgia exists in the mind of a Black Man wishing it was so in Alabama.

Issue 3: State The Obvious

I want to pick up a little bit from the last issue where I said license was taken to commit whatever offense pops into the head in the name of God. Would you agree with me that God placed in writing his mistakes (as any creature of the creator could fathom a conclusion) for all of us to read, recall, and rejig. God revealing to us his greatest mistake when he turned over teaching his creation (mankind) about God to Satan. How Satan turned on God and convinced many angels to follow suit (although those angels only followed Satan because Satan promised them judges) and oppose God in his own house. Go figure huh. Wow, so God when he found out his chosen one turned on him he didn’t look to shift the blame or ask for healing before correcting his mistake. Boy, did he correct his mistake! He told Michael to handle his light work. Did he have to straighten up Heaven more than once? Right.

See, when you have citizens, all citizens to include government officials at all levels and the police at all levels, not subject to every law then that’s when order is moot. Refer back to the previous paragraph on whether every force of being in Heaven is accountable. Evangelicals be careful because all of you have been told there’s a get out of jail free card available only to you. Evangelicals you’ve been told for hundreds of years your precepts of man over God is right. Everyone who is not White is 3/5 a person. They are not humans as only Evangelicals get to determine what is a human being, and God is what I say God is and he does what the church (which is whatever crazy uncle is available) tells him.

As I stated in a previous issue, Evangelicals cannot speak for someone else especially someone in power. Check with the Bible and get back to me on whether Saul on the road to Damascus took responsibility for his own actions. I’m a Christian as well and I will never say God sent me a devil to lead me to Hell. God did not send Donald Trump to lead America. That statement by some of these so called pastors comes right up to the door of blasphemy. Remember when the Sadducees and Pharisees said Jesus cast out devils by the power of the devil? Reasoning that way would make since if these Evangelicals (Evan-devil-cals) knew what they were talking about and could back it up with scripture.

Would it be reasonable to say that these Evangelicals are misleading their followers? Maybe Satan and a third of the angels after being cast out of Heaven thought that God needed to extend to them an olive branch of reconciliation. Maybe God made it clear when you make a mistake you are the one responsible of correcting it. If correcting it means you caste out those that would seek to sow continued division in your house, so be it. I would liken it to burning your bridges what Satan and his followers attempted to do to God. When Satan and his angels tried to cross back over (if at all they realized they were wrong) by throwing a rope to other side it landed in a puddle of mud. Pick a side please!

America, listen to me. I’m not an elected official. I’m just an African American man born with the description of ‘colored’ on my birth certificate in 1966. I lived in poverty as a child. I have been discriminated against many times as a man of color. I have been to the heights of authority in many jobs and treated everyone with dignity and respect. Now all that being said, what I am today is a product of my mother and the United States Military. What I learned from my mother I had to read, recall, and rejig to finally understand what she meant to me over many years. Honestly it took that much time to get through my hard head, or as she told me several times I had a smart mouth that would bring me trouble. She was right. My service to my country taught me that one valuable lesson in leadership I will expound on here. ‘State the obvious”.

America just got rid of an engine that had recall written all over its’ maintenance record. When we make a mistake as a country it counts! One serious thing I’ve got to address right now. Please stop disparaging the word ‘charismatic’. The dictionary has ‘divinely’ in the meaning of the word ‘charisma’. Because Donald Trump got a lot of foolish people to follow him doesn’t connect him to the divinity! One other thing I keep saying Evangelicals. You are not going to get a pass at your judgment in front of the Almighty by saying you were just simply voting Republican. Good. That’s said and done.

Jiggery-pokery is a more fitting explanation of Donald Trump’s skill and appeal. Frankly let us not forget that he just continued playing on what was already baked into the minds of White America. The centuries of historical doctrination of White Supremacy in this young country. What did you expect these people to do when the country they’ve been taught were theirs just by the color of their skin was slipping away from them? What do you think brainwashed people will do when someone begins to tell them something different than what they’ve been hearing all their lives? What do you think people will do when they have never had a reason to use ‘reasoning’ or engage in the arena of ideas to build a consensus for their way of life? Right! Their way of life has never been challenged or scrutinized as valid for anyone that doesn’t look like them!

Why do you think there is this perpetual violent pushback by a certain segment of irrational White America against people of color? It hasn’t ended. Why? The answer is that there has never been an outreach program to that part of White America that still long for the times where ‘everybody stayed in their place’. Where old Jim Billy Jethro Harry Bubba made all the sense because they were the leaders of this uneducated sect of White America. The proof is right in your face! All these conspiracy peddlers are successful because they know the history of this country! They know enough never to give the truth to these low-educated people. They feed them enough to get them going in the direction they desire. I see it because I have studied and lived a life of Philosophy.

Like I said to everyone reading this digital newsletter. If you don’t want the truth there are several choices available to you elsewhere. Stating the obvious is what I’m here to do. Compromise with a band of marauders on a lonely road with no help in sight will more than likely hasten your demise. What is right and what is wrong are the only truths that matter. If it is right say it is right. If it is wrong say it is wrong. There is no need to consider someone’s feelings in the matter. I have seen both instances and I am here to tell you that the more effective route to take is telling the truth and living with the consequences. If you do that I promise you God will take care of you. Only if you are righteous in his ‘Word’ and not an Evangelical telling you what is right.

Issue 2: Evangelicals, Let’s Talk

I’ll begin with an easy one because us Christian folk should know this. Out of the Authorized King James Bible. Revelation 12: 7-9 “And there was war in Heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Now to help those evangelicals that are bench warmers and not reading the scripture as a check on learning (Pastor and congregant must line up the truth) which is a requirement by the way to be a Christian. This is the irresponsible nature of fake Christianity throughout centuries. Claim piety for evil acts because the preacher authorized it. Listen to me. If God sent us President Trump then God is immoral right? If God teaches those in authority over us to lie through their teeth then God is immoral right? If God teaches those in authority to never admit fault or their sins even when God tells them he knows what they did (hint David with Bathsheba) then God is immoral right? Please evangelicals, you’ve been taught that whatever you do is right for so long that your delusions have become your reality. Keep reading if you dare!

Of course in the mouth of two or three witnesses let the truth be established. 2 Peter 2:4 “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment”. Now the way these two scriptures read to me is that there isn’t an excuse built into those verses. It clearly reads that those that choose a side receive the rewards and consequences for either selection.

Evangelicals. This is what the scripture means and stop telling yourselves that I never liked or supported all the things about Donald Trump. Some of you like saying, “I don’t agree with his behavior or everything he says, but I do support him being against abortion.” Stop. Now you’re acting or reasoning as a child would. Married evangelicals. Did you marry two-thirds of your spouse or one hundred percent of your spouse? Come on. There is no such thing as cherry picking our leaders decisions. You know you get the entire package. Come on now. Stop acting like President Trump putting kids in cages you didn’t support by voting for him. Remember there in God’s scripture that says anyone that harms children something about a millstone, neck, and cast in the sea. Yeah, you’re complicit with President Trump and the God awful thing about it you knew the man is an immoral and unrepentant representative of humanity. Yeah, stop kidding yourselves. You can’t ask forgiveness for the things he does for him in his name. President Trump has to do it himself. No? So I guess Saul after being blinded on the road to Damascus found religion because somebody else said Saul now believes that killing Christians is wrong. Sound familiar?

Evangelicals, you know what’s one of the worst feeling in the world? Believing in somebody you can’t count on. Evangelicals, you’ve placed God in that category. God is now a liar, cheat, inciter, seditionist, insurrectionist, immoral and thinks only of himself. So to evangelicals it makes sense that God would send us President Donald Trump because that’s who God is to you. I’m pretty sure that God said he is good. God said no one in 1 Corinthians 6:9 “The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God”. Evangelicals, how do you line up your support of President Trump with the word of God? Right, that’s why so many unbelievers don’t want anything to do with the ‘Church’.

Okay. Evangelicals. The next paragraphs are going to really be hard to read and may scare your minds, so I recommend you stop reading right now. Let’s keep talking then for those that are willing to correct themselves before they wreck themselves. Oh, this is good evangelicals. You don’t get to claim innocence because you’re only voting along party lines. Voting Republican doesn’t relieve you of your choice. Newsflash. Remember that little connection to Satan that those angels made. Their allegiance to him and thus suffer the same fate as him? Don’t say that. Don’t say you only agreed with Satan because he said he would keep the streets of Heaven clean better than God. Don’t say Satan told you that he was more powerful than the one who created it all? Don’t say Satan promised me a cushy job if I would back him over God? In human words, The United States Constitution is God and President Donald Trump is Satan and the people cast him and his angels out!

This next to last paragraph is for the rest of America. There is no requirement or need to extend the hand of reconciliation to those who oppose America period! That’s not the example we were taught by the Almighty. You either check yourself or find another country to live in. There are plenty in the world that will take lunatics. I’m a Black American. The Authorized King James Bible teaches me to “love they neighbor as myself”. It also teaches me to welcome them back into the fold only after they (individual converts him or herself) remind themselves of what’s right and what’s wrong and keep fidelity with such.

Evangelicals, if you wish to support the Republican Party and I don’t care either way; then maybe you all should demand that your party stop pricking at the worst emotions in all of us and put forth a man or woman that is truly moral. I said moral not perfect. Somebody that can admit when a mistake is made and acknowledge it. Evangelicals tell your Republican insurrectionists to stop falsely saying government is the problem. Check out 2 Peter 2:10. Again, healing starts with telling the truth. As Christians, all of you should know better. More citizens voted for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. President Trump lost reelection. God didn’t send us President Trump in the first place. He just allowed us to suffer from our own decision. Only God is good as his son Jesus Christ said. Sorry evangelicals, you picked the wrong side. Are you really willing to be cast into hell with Satan?

Remember Georgia

Remember Now Thy Creator

Georgians. Remember some of you when the Civil Rights Era was nationalized and the people of Alabama and Georgia were faced with a huge choice. The state governments were planning an international airport and were scouting locations between Birmingham and Atlanta. The final decision was made to build it in Atlanta because certain men and women went to those in power and told them that it would make a greater Georgia for all her people. The same choice is front of you now.

The United States of America must move forward. Prosperity can only come from those who believe everybody deserves a share of it. Republicans do not believe that and that is why Birmingham missed the chance at reconciliation that Georgia took advantage of. Send the Democratic candidates Jon Ossoff and Rafael Warnock to the United States Senate. There they will extend that great decision your men and women made to let the future come. I write all of this testimony because I’m from Birmingham. I still love the state of my birth, but I will forever be injured by the decisions Alabama made during those horrible times of oppression.

Atlas, I am a child of Alabama. I also love my neighbor as myself and I know that there are people that do not love. The selfish nature of hatred has consequences Georgia. Fight for a Georgia that is better for all.

Issue 1: Address Your Wrongs

Let’s start at the police. Our United States Supreme Court has issued God Power to the police to conduct themselves under the direction of evil’s edicts. What do I mean by that? The Supreme Court says that without the mandate of God’s spoken word tying their hands, the police should not be subject to that verse that says, “everything be done decently and in order.” This was too high a doctrine to follow. Turn the police loose on every citizen and particularly citizens of color and only good will ensue.

‘Qualified Immunity’. Explanation. Qualified means to be skilled in the requirements of a specific task. Immunity is to be protected from something. Taken together these two words are now meaningless when it comes to the United States Supreme Court decision granting the police their God power. What reasonable, mature and righteous person would say that the police must operate above the law? Who would stand forward and say that the police are conducting a job with righteous discretion? Where are the examples of accountability that informs every citizen that when the police while exercising this ‘Power’ acknowledges their errors?

Oh, I haven’t even gotten to the point that the police are human beings just like everybody else. So what college educated white man (Really, you didn’t know they always made the rules) thought of this doctrine of ‘Qualified Immunity’. Yeah, they created a class of citizens that are completely untouchable. Oh, almost forgot, so qualified immunity also means that the police doesn’t have to know right from wrong in the performance of their duty. That is left to ordinary citizens to prove this person has the moral capacity present within their conscience at the time they indiscriminately kill other human beings.

If you’re beginning to get the feeling that I would trust an atheist with judging a situation righteously you’re right. I’ll give you one example of why I believe that allowing anybody in authority to be unchecked produces human tragedy. The police encounter drug addicts regularly. In mental health we know that we must self-care on a regular basis or the build-up within the profession of all the issues they must work with clients to solve could be detrimental to their overall health. How a drug addict thinks that every time they use somehow doesn’t show a negative to their life’s balance sheet. How every transaction involving drugs of any kind in which they’ve loss control of goes through and shows a deficit.

What do you think it does to a police officer that encounters the issues and troubles of the human beings they must interact with constantly? Don’t say it. I’ll say it. I have dedicated my life to answering the one question. Why? It is easier for human beings to solve their problems by ignoring them. Postponing them by whatever means available to them. Projecting them onto others that point out our faults. What makes you think (I’m talking to every human being) just because they hold a position of authority and power they are immune to the things that plague all of us? Right, so our laws are written by people who don’t wish to deal with the human condition and this indifference has resulted in atrocities in the name of the law for centuries!

How do we stop the onslaught of degradation when so much of our history has celebrated it? Yes I mean describing people of color in our judicial system as monsters. I mean darkening their skin because so many people loved him playing football but not so much when he married a pretty white woman. I mean judging children playing in parks with toy guns as threatening and rolling up on them shooting as just routine police work. How do you heal when the wounds are constantly split open again and again with malice?

The healing starts when you have a more diverse group of people that not only say they have a higher moral code, but actually show it in the policies they put forward. Let me say this and say it loudly. Nobody speaks for God! If all these folks that claim piety in their decision process when in authority, then answer me why they flip back and forth between good and evil by which way the wind blows. Most people don’t want another human being speaking for them let alone someone they love. Where did this novel idea arise that God needs one of his creation to speak for him?

So when a leader protects her charge from accountability which shows clearly they are in the wrong it degrades her authority just as it would for a man. Stop! What’s the old saying. When you find yourself in a hole stop digging! Healing starts with telling the truth! How hard is that to understand. It’s vexing. Vexing I say. Lying harms your mental health. How hard is that to understand? The magnitude is enormous when our leaders lie to us and we think it’s funny. If half of us believe they are losing power, so what. The country is governed by majority rule period. Get over yourself and move on. We are not destroying America today, tomorrow or in the future. America is moving to heal all her wrongs. Let it play out.

CRISIS AVERTED

Voters. Citizens. I’m Truly In Awe

First, before I continue this celebration of what all of you did on November 3^rd of this glorious year of our Lord 2020. I want to extend my gratitude to all of you who voted to eject President Donald Trump from our cherished White House office. Honestly, I’m glad all of you understood that there isn’t another country that would take us in if we’d lost America; and I sure don’t want to move to another land where the citizens there would undoubtedly have looked upon us with sheer repugnance. Here we would stand in the eyes of the world as failing to sustain, grow and then reflect that moral virtue of goodness we so ardently strive to achieve. Pity it would be to lose that so foolishly.

This is one crisis we averted thanks to all of you! Congratulations to President-elect and Vice President-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Everyone who so righteously visit my site know that I seek the truth and spread it when I find it. Thank you from the center of my heart for reading my compositions. Listen to me now. This post isn’t to let you know that this achievement ends our struggle. My life’s work is centered on Philosophy and Mental Health so what I’m telling you now is that the work you did on this election to save our country from an unsuited man like President Trump must be sustained. I couldn’t release you from your responsibility as a citizen no more than I can release myself from my responsibility.

All of us must realize that as voters the word entails engagement and understanding that our country and world needs our attention. Weave this mindset into your environment and I do mean your piece of where you live and the greater families, communities, states and America. Yes, I am confessing to you it is exhausting when you work so hard for other people to be born, survive and thrive in a land of their choosing without having to encounter men and women pedaling evil in the hopes of obtaining power. If you hadn’t noticed in my State of Kentucky, Senator Mitch McConnel ran an ad praising Confederate monuments to play on the worst emotions of hate, fear, and ignorance in the human condition. He took them down as I wrote common sense counter arguments against this kind of malicious hatred targeted at my White Brothers and Sisters sacred votes.

I no longer shake my head or laugh at the clear obvious nature of the message in those ads because shaking my head isn’t doing something to call it what it is. It is pure HATRED BAITING plain and simple. Please, all citizens if you notice what your elected leaders who by the way collect a handsome salary and retirement are doing to call them on it. Voters, citizens what you let pass becomes law. Yes, what you let pass and it is just like legislators passing laws is what will stand.

For many of you, those citizens and voters that live in Georgia, your duties are not over yet. Send two Democratic candidates Mr. Warnock and Mr. Ossoff to the United States Senate to hold Senator McConnel accountable for his belief that voters are swayed by a message of hatred and ignorance. That the way to a voter’s conscience and their support is through taping into his or her vilest nature. If you are tired of this sort of message then show up to the polls or mail your ballot in Georgia and tell Senator Mitch McConnell that you’re not buying this degrading of humanity in an attempt to win your vote. I’ll bet you one other thing that results from voters rejecting this. You’ll see America swing fully back on the track of seeking that moral virtue of ‘treating thy neighbor as thyself’.

Thank you all once again for voting. The work will never be done. The work can never be finished. The book on America is incomplete enough as it is with some of the chapters missing parts of the story that could explain why we so eagerly toy with our own destruction! The history we can make now for ourselves has to be the one forged in righteousness. That doesn’t require any of us to be religious. It only requires us to know our actions or inactions have consequences. Please let the energy you charge and send out be directly captured to power the good in this world.

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode Three: The Cost of Leadership: The Salvation of a Nation

Prologue:

(Mother is still electrified and also mystified that the Timer granted her an audience. Clearly hoping that the encounter would continue, she has resigned herself to accepting the possibility that it was a one time deal. I still need information about how slavery lasted over 200 years from the early 1600s to the time Abraham Lincoln was elected President and issued his Emancipation Proclamation. How did he persuade other white men of questionable character to pass the 13^thAmendment through Congress and he sign it? Slaves still wouldn’t be officially free until it was ratified by two-thirds of the states in existence then.

How did President Lincoln convince these men to even write such an amendment? See, that is the problem with history written from a single point of view. It provides little or no context at all to the thinking of the people creating the laws of the land in that monumental period in America. Let me be clear on this as well, it wasn’t because they were members of a political party that moved their conscience to do the right thing. I’ve read that President Lincoln relied on his faith to line up his beliefs with what he saw being done to his fellow man. Black people were scattered and treated based on zip code. If you lived in the seceded states of the Confederacy you were basically screwed. They had their economic structure established and God help them if there was a better way of making money. It was ludicrous to think they would from one day to the next give it all up, this economic system of exploitation for the good of the country.

God I pray that you send the Timer to me again. I want to know more about slavery. Why build a system that treated the slaves, Black people, differently? Why the denials out of the mouths of anybody that has ancestors in America that these systems of racism don’t exist? Can’t people understand that even the ground they walk over is stained with the blood of innocent people for no other reasons than making some people falsely wealthy? I need to speak to him again. I must know more.).

Mother Sayer: (I asked for this. I have questions that I’m going to get answers to. Slavery didn’t just keep Black people excluded from full participation in the country they almost single handedly built. These white men essentially committed subversion against America by eliminating or somehow making invisible the contribution of a large population of its’ residents.). Let’s get this day started. Children are you ready for school?

Justus I. Order: I’m ready Mother. Be right there.

Doyenne: I’m coming, just finishing up my look.

Mother Sayer: Alright. Your driver is waiting for you. (Mother knows when she says that the children will speed up their activity and hurry up because she doesn’t like children keeping grown folks waiting.).

——————-1^st Interlude——————-

(The children are taken to school and Mother arrives at work on Monday ready to inform her team of the projects that she has approved. The ‘SAFE ROAD’ project she believes can be ready in a few weeks. It involves using existing systems set up to alert communities of lost children and like a public service announcement over the vehicles’ entertainment platform to warn drivers of police, ambulance or emergency traffic on specific roads. Therefore the driver has options to avoid collisions and injury. Also, there is a chance that the stop lights can be integrated with a pattern that means dangerous conditions exist and drivers should beware of activity in their vicinity.).

Sarah W. Certainty: Good morning Mother.

Mother Sayer: Good morning Sarah. I’ve made my decisions on the files I took over the weekend. Are you free for a few minutes to go over them with me?

Sarah W. Certainty: Sure.

Mother Sayer: The ‘SAFE ROAD’ project I believe could be accomplished within a short time period of say a few weeks. The entertainment project is a top priority as well. The mentoring software program is good because I believe it can focus a lot of direction and much needed support in the right way to at risk children. The ‘FIRST BORN’ software database is interesting. I’m curious about it and having my own ideas about how a family structure is fulfilled. That one I want to be included in its’ development at each stage. (Mother gives Sarah the last three she approved and closes her office door.).

Sarah W. Certainty: I will tell them to come up right away and inform them on how you want these projects handled.

——————-2^nd Interlude——————-

(The morning has turned into early afternoon and Mother is about to open her office door when she senses that her visitor is about to reveal himself again. She tells herself to remain calm as no one has appeared yet. Then her body feels heavier once again. The Timer has returned.).

Mother Sayer: Timer? Do I have the name correct?

The Timer: It is I Mother Sayer.

Mother Sayer: (Okay, I’m taken aback that he is using my required name. It could be that I’ve either earned his respect in some way or that he is respecting my title at work.). I was hoping I would have an audience with you again. Am I allowed to know more about slavery and the young country that used it to gain the prominence in the world it has today because of it?

The Timer: Let’s talk about a President.

Mother Sayer: A President? Which President should we talk about?

The Timer: President Abraham Lincoln. How this man solely decided whether Black people would be free of the scourge of slavery.

Mother Sayer: Okay I’m listening. What acts did President Lincoln perform that freed my people?

The Timer: I sense you are looking to pour indignation onto the architects of your country. Please, if you will bear with me for a moment in time; I will show you the forces at play in maintaining the status quo. Nothing can ever be done in the realm of humanity for good without a cost.

Mother Sayer: Yes I know. (Mother knows he is right. In order to truly hear what he has to say she must control her emotions. Don’t be a child that still needs her mother’s milk to survive. Be a fully grown woman able to eat and digest meat.).

The Timer: (She’s realized a truth. Don’t assign her the mantel of one that asks ‘WHY’ yet. Keep testing her.). Let’s take a look at what was a new party at the time President Lincoln was in office. The Republican Party.

Mother Sayer: I’m aware of them in this day.

The Timer: Did you know there were many in the Republican Party that wanted slavery abolished?

Mother Sayer: Please continue.

The Timer: President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. It served a crucial purpose none the less. It put his party on notice that whatever America would become she had to be moral. Lincoln’s faith and his judgment would rest on that. President Lincoln knew he would take the blame for allowing slaves to be seen as human beings.

Mother Sayer: Wait. Wait. Wait. Are you saying President Lincoln gave cover to the members of his party by taking all the responsibility for ending slavery?

The Timer: Yes.

Mother Sayer: Please continue.

The Timer: President Lincoln supported the 13^th Amendment to the United States Constitution that ended slavery in America. Nothing happens unless somebody stacks all they own to accomplishing their task. President Lincoln knew his life would be forfeited.

Mother Sayer: Wait. Are you saying President Lincoln knew by supporting the 13^th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States that he was giving away his life and liberty?

The Timer: Does this surprise you? (The Timer sharply observes Mother Sayer for any reaction deemed to be inappropriate to this revelation.).

Mother Sayer: It wouldn’t change any minds outside of the capital. Why do it? I mean why put your life on the line for slaves.

The Timer: Good question. Leadership has many requirements wouldn’t you agree?

Mother Sayer: Yes it does. I know where you’re going with this and the understanding is that you consider all possibilities when you’re at the top and decide on what’s necessary and best in the moment and how your decision could impact your country going forward. You not only represent the strong but the weak as well.

The Timer: Ah, the military doctrine has influenced your response hasn’t it. What would you say if I told you that there is a level in life where decisions must be righteous. Only one answer is possible. Would you believe such a place existed?

Mother Sayer: (Mother ponders her answer and somehow she knows what the Timer has stated has always existed.). I know it has always existed because human beings need the certainty of right and wrong to govern their decisions.

The Timer: Quite right about the reality that a choice never had more than two options. What I speak of is the reality, realm, and spiritual forces that can be released from such a phenomenal decision. Life changes for good or evil in the hands of those chosen to wield it. May I show you something?

Mother Sayer: (I asked for this. Do not waver is what she thinks even if it slams against your senses.). It is what I have asked of you. Show me.

The Timer: (The Timer immediately cuts the room in front of her as if he is peeling back the covers from a cold bed.). Do you see the streams of energy? They dance like lightning strikes announcing a coming rain storm do they not?

Mother Sayer: I am feeling the heat like a blanket. It reminds me of standing outside in Birmingham, Alabama at the height of summer. At 12 midnight. I also acknowledge the electrical charge going through my clothes.

The Timer: The electrical power of this realm has granted you safe passage at my request. This energy is fed by spiritual decisions.

Mother Sayer: Wait, spiritual decisions meaning the actions we take after the choices we make good or evil feed this realm?

The Timer: The Creator of all has made it so. This is what the prayers of countless souls that are wronged produce in this realm.

Mother Sayer: This energy. Is it what the Creator taps to know whether his creation is sincere? Ah. The Creator. The Trinity. The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost can tell whose prayer has fed this realm?

The Timer: (She is a zealous discerner of the truth. Can she handle what she is about to discover?). From such power you see are born of a directive in his words of ‘faith without works is dead.’

Mother Sayer: A prayer without action wouldn’t produce even a spark is that what you’re saying?

The Timer: (Good. She is figuring it out.). Now, President Lincoln’s faith revealed the possible to him. He had to make it happen in the world you live in.

Mother Sayer: Stop. Are you telling me he knew that the economy of the Southern States were wholly dependent on the exploitation of slaves?

The Timer: You’re asking a question in which you already know the answer. Please. I thought you wanted to know why Black folks were never truly freed from the bondage of slavery.

Mother Sayer: (Mother, she tells herself, don’t do that again. Can you handle it? Don’t tell him to send you back before you pee your panties. Otherwise, I’ll slap you myself if you stoop below your upbringing and lived experiences again.). Forgive my ignorance. It won’t happen again. You were saying Black folks were never freed from slavery. What do you mean by that? The economic system deprived us of any meaningful chance of equaling the wealth gap. Well we’ll never see the backpay, loss of savings and investment along with the honor of transferring our wealth to future generations; the freedom we now have to catch up this wealth gap is ludicrous.

It’s like Black folks entered a race that started 200 years ago on foot while White folks were given a head start riding a horse. Black folks weren’t given the rules or the course to follow and told to just start walking knowing they’re the ones that worked for the very money White folks used to buy the horse.

The Timer: Now in order for that to change somebody had to be willing to pay the price. A cost is always expected when evil must be abolished. In the time of President Lincoln, he chose to sacrifice himself for the continuation of his country. By no means should you take this act of his as a run of the mill decision made by a leader.

Mother Sayer: Nothing good comes without sacrifice. Nobody, no country, nothing good survives unless it is fought for with the only true currency you have. Your life.

The Timer: Your understanding has exceeded expectations. I’m glad the 66 books of that Bible aren’t thumped and held up in the air by another village idiot.

Mother Sayer: I know one of the powerful ways to human knowledge and understanding is to learn from examples shown to us. Tell me more. Was President Lincoln shown the potential destruction of America if slavery were allowed to continue?

The Timer: Now, let’s learn about how such a system was created. Slavery, just like any economic system needed support and enforcement to remain the law of the land wouldn’t it?

Mother Sayer: So tell me how did it happen. Who supported keeping slavery as the economic system of the South? Was it baked in, wait, it had to have the weight of law.

The Timer: Now you are truly beginning to understand. Listen to me right now because I’m not going to entertain your righteous indignation again. I’ve revealed some truths to you and excused your anger about the treatment of your people by your country. Forgiveness will not come if you jump to conclusions again. Understanding such a horrible record in all the history of mankind isn’t possible for 99 percent of your country.

Do you wish to know why? I’m asking you first before I reveal the answer as I don’t know if you’re capable of processing the answer.

Mother Sayer: I am able to understand and comprehend your answer.

The Timer: (No turning away this one. She has made her choice.). The majority of human beings that inhabit your country aren’t truth seekers. What doesn’t harm them is of no consequence to them. If a fellow human being is denied dignity and justice, they wouldn’t care because they feel the perpetrators of the crimes against humanity won’t come for them.

Mother Sayer: Like the German citizens that stood by and watched a sadistic madman round-up and slaughter, butcher, and degrade Jews. None of them cared because they didn’t come for them.

The Timer: It starts with what you would call giving cover.

Mother Sayer: No need to explain that one. I got it. Cover is believing that if you support something that fights for the causes you hold dear; it shields you from responsibility of the actions of that organization. Like if I’m a member of a political party and although I vote for their candidate I can claim innocence for the evil that person commits because I only support the good things about that political party I believe in. Just the leader of that party is evil has nothing to do with me.

The Timer: Ah, quite right. What would you say if during that period of time in America when slavery was the only viable option for economic security you had to do some evil things to keep it in place?

Mother Sayer: What evil things?

Waking slaves up in the middle of the night after a long hard hot work day that began at dawn and ended at sunset. Never giving the slaves a moment of peaceful rest. How about putting a collar on them to maintain control of them like a dog. Picking out a male slave in the middle of a cotton field and beating him just for shits and giggles.

Violating and impregnating women and young girls to keep the stables full of labor. Forcing Black men to watch as these violations occurred and killing any Black man that tried to intervene. Oh, this next tactic is good. How about terrorizing slaves randomly and without warning by any white person at any time. This leads to slaves warning their children, friends, family about the violence that could be inflicted upon them at any time.

Mother Sayer: Right. Oh my God. We tell our sons and daughters to beware of interactions with the police because they could kill you for no other reason than they feared for their lives. So, we are inflicting mental harm on our community without even knowing it. This is a time honored method of keeping slaves under control.

The Timer: Are you surprised by this revelation?

Mother Sayer: Yes. It is shameful. I can’t recall an instance where a single person of a different race I call a friend tells their children to be cautious around the police. We’ve done it with good intentions, but I know now that doing something you don’t know the origin of can be self-destructive.

The Timer: Now that is the background I wanted you to fully grasp before you’re granted permission to receive the full truth of slavery.

Mother Sayer: I understand what happened to slaves all too well. I can use my imagination as I know how cruel and sadistic human beings can be and are still.

The Timer: What President Lincoln accomplished required him to put his life on the line. Nothing of value is ever accomplished unless he or she that starts it commits to its’ completion. That is the essence of ‘SALVATION’.

Mother Sayer: He knew by putting his name on it that it would rest in history. Ah! He had advisors that reported back to him how these systems were created. How they remained a viable business model. How you kept your stock or slaves in check. How the laws were created around it were unjust and couldn’t stand the gaze of a righteous God.

The Timer: Yes. You are correct. Now by considering the massive scope of what slavery was and what benefits it held to the Southern States to keep that system in place can you understand the reciprocal and equal pushback to dismantling it.

Mother Sayer: I don’t care if America wishes to hide her filthy and depraved past. I still want to know more detail about the systems of slavery. The economic, oppression of wealth, the mental terror as well as the physical terror that never let up where slaves were concerned.

The Timer: Exactly. All will still be revealed no matter how long it takes. An account of history will never be successfully suppressed. May I continue? Now to dismantle a system you must use like force to replace it. A law that uproots and replaces a law is the only way. President Lincoln knew he couldn’t write something that applied to only a portion of the country. He had to make sure it applied nationwide did he not?

Mother Sayer: We’re talking about the ‘SALVATION’ of a nation now aren’t we?

The Timer: You have satisfied my requirements for this meeting. I commend you for that. Don’t come at me again wanting the conclusion before you hear all of what you must hear.

Mother Sayer: I understand. My apologies Timer. This information. I’m sorry. I must know.

The Timer: We will speak again.

Epilogue:

(With that the Timer returned Mother to her realm. She immediately prepares herself for her next encounter with the Timer. One of the questions she will ask is why descendants of slave owners don’t understand that lineage is akin to history. It’s not disjointed or misplaced. As God created the Earth in Six days, what he created on the 1^st day didn’t disappear but was added onto in the 2^nd day.

That’s the essence of the argument for reparations for all the stolen wages of slavery. Let’s see you work for 1 year and don’t get paid and see what it does to you physically and mentally not to mention the quality of life you’ll have. Oh right, it’s okay to give a trillion dollars to the already wealthy while claiming money problems for the poor and needy.

One thing is for certain. Looking at what your leader does is the only thing that matters. President Trump wouldn’t come close to the faith of a President like Lincoln because he has never fought for anyone but himself. If anyone believes otherwise they deserve what they get for lying to themselves.).

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode Two: May I Present, The Timer

Prologue:

(The days are longer now with everything I must maintain. Doy and Justice righteously need my teachings and parenting. There is also the home I provide for everyone needs to be kept up. Fortunately I have dedicated staff that takes care that everything concerning a home is consistently handled. The ARC is operating efficiently and turning a profit. All key positions in the company are filled with competent and creative women and men. I can’t shake the thoughts I’m having of late that deals with the origin of this country. How did America become what it is today?

Why did it establish the systems then that’s left a legacy of unbalance in many parts of human existence. Economics, the economics of slavery, laws, and a defacto male caste system that denied liberty to the powerless. More clearly to the point is that power only resided with European men of Caucasian descent. Okay I got that part, but how did they create these systems in the early formation of America that still today underpins how America values, views, and vilify Black people?

Maybe it’s Black peoples’ punishment for allowing ourselves to be enslaved for hundreds of years creating vast treasure troves of stolen wealth that still line the pockets of slave owners descendants. Dreams invoke in me the need to interpret them. I hope an expansion of knowledge is headed my way.).

Mother Sayer: (Mother is on her way home on a Friday. It has been a stressful week. Overseeing the software development of ‘SAFE ROAD’ which has created so many ideas and analysis of can it be effective not just on roads in America but roads in every country.). I’ve got to look these files over this weekend and give the creative development teams my decisions on Monday. Sarah, can you make sure I have the files I need ready for me before I leave?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes of course Mother. I’ve just about finished with them. The last proposal was just dropped off a few minutes ago and I’m entering the data into our network.

Mother Sayer: Good. Can you put the one about road safety on top? That one I’m getting a good feeling about because so many drivers are unskilled, old, young, and inexperienced.

Sarah W. Certainty: The ‘SAFE ROAD’ file is on top along with the six files that need your approval also. By the way, have you decided where you’ll volunteer your nursing services in order to stay skilled and current?

Mother Sayer: I have three places in mind. One is a drug treatment clinic. One is a free medical clinic. The last one is one I’ve yet to lock down because I will practice my nursing license in a impoverished neighborhood of color.

——————-1^st Interlude——————-

(Mother arrives home safety and finds her children deep in study. A snack was provided and dinner will be at 7:30 pm. She places the files down in her office and turns to go upstairs to her room to change, shower and get dressed for dinner.

As she goes about placing the memories of her day in proper context for recall later, she thinks again about her country. How did America survive all the contradictions and still prosper into what historians would call one of the greatest nations to ever be formed upon it? How could a system of slavery last hundreds of years and produce such stunning and consistent growth? Did my people, Black people, make America what it is today?

How did they do it? I mean how did it start. There must be a record of how it was done somewhere. There has to be. How did a loose collection of indebted men and women set sail from Europe in search of a life where they could purge their old sins and create a fresh start. What was the plan after they got here? Ah, oh well, maybe it’s in some history book somewhere stuck in a corner of a library at an old church on the east coast.).

Mother Sayer: N’tare, I’m going to my office to review some paperwork. Call me if you need me to do anything.

N’tare Boulder: Very well, Mother Sayer. I’m straighten up the kitchen and the house with the staff members and prepare for breakfast tomorrow.

Mother Sayer: Alright then, will see you then and goodnight.

N’tare Boulder: Goodnight.

——————-2^nd Interlude——————-

(Mother has completely her review of the files and knows where she will give her okay to move forward on Monday. She is about to call it a night when she feels an authoritative presence come over the room. This isn’t normal. What is going on here. If there is something I’m supposed to see then show it to me. She utters the words speak to me or leave.).

Timer: You want to know things that most people want to keep hidden.

Mother Sayer: First things first. Who are you and what are you here to tell me?

Timer: My position in the Father’s House is to keep a record of what was done on Earth and where and when it happened.

Mother Sayer: Your name is?

Timer: My name is Timer.

Mother Sayer: Yes Timer, I do have some curiosity as to how the early colonialists got a country up and running when they didn’t by all accounts have the money to do it.

Timer: (Without another word Mother Sayer feels as if she has just gained 3000 pounds and her joints would shatter if she moved.). We’ll start here at the place whereas men would say today that I didn’t have anything to do with enslaving Black people. I wasn’t there is the sentence often used to absolve themselves of the crimes of their ancestors.

Mother Sayer: I heard it spoken many times, but it often serves to squash the conversation because there’s no documentation on how the system of slavery really began. You can’t answer the why until you know how.

Timer: (Could she be one? Not now Timer. Just test her. Time will indeed tell.). Follow along if you can.

Mother Sayer: (She smells air so thick with greenery, shrubbery and crisp as a sparkling bubbly that she’s almost intoxicated as it overwhelms her sense of smell. Her eyes seems to see in the distance more sharply than she thought possible. Hold it together she murmurs to herself.). This place can’t be done justice by simply speaking of its’ beauty.

Timer: It is the time before man remakes the world in his image.

Mother Sayer: Understood. Please proceed.

Timer: Beginning where the news broke of cheap labor on the east coast of America, for the record I’ll show you the period mid 16^th Century. Let’s round it up to 1650. Many landowners were struggling to find labor for their fields. Make an honest go it. That sort of thing. Never fear though. There’s always strength in numbers. I’ll come back around to that if we have time.

Now, let me ask you. If you have 100 acres and no labor to clear it off, no horses to break the ground, and no way to keep hold of it from thieves. Very little money to buy seeds and for that matter I really don’t know what would grow out here. What would you do?

Mother Sayer: I’d realize I’ve bitten off more than I can chew that’s what I’d conclude.

Timer: Ah, women. More concerned with decency and honor the lot of you. I’ll ask the question in a different way. What do you think a man would do when faced with those realities?

Mother Sayer: I’d hope he would try to figure it out righteously seeing I’ve read they were quite the religious sort of the time in question.

Timer: Alright, let’s follow man’s reasoning then. Take a look and understanding we’re pressed for time I’ll forward the decision making process with that fact in mind.

——————-3^rd Interlude——————-

(Mother witnesses one landowner contemplating his situation. Rising to his feet as he stepped and straddling his horse and heading into town to inquire at the local gathering place if what he’s heard is true. He can go in with other landowners to finance a ship and men capable of capturing other men and women and spiriting them away for transport back to America as free labor.

He takes little if no time to make his decision to join in this alliance. The Timer sees and ignores Mother Sayer’s petition to enquire about the conscience of the men she’s viewing. The landowners have made their pact. Now after a few ships have docked and everybody that has wagered and financed the cargo have received some of their return on investment; the landowners are now beginning to feel that this might just work out.

Mind you, there is still no intention to pay these newly acquired laborers. As far as the landowners are concerned they are property entitled to be viewed and dealt with as such. Mother Sayer presses the pause and forces the Timer to listen to her.).

Mother Sayer: So that’s how it begins. That’s how year after year and time after time right and wrong seems to be more of a guidance than a spiritual mandate than defines behavior.

Timer: Meaning what exactly?

Mother Sayer: We like to say our laws are written and blindly applicable to all equally. Our system of appointed guardians to include the police, prosecutors, judges and elected officials are sworn to ensure a just society by holding everyone accountable to the same law as ordinary citizens.

Timer: Before a country can truly achieve such a high bar to which America has never achieved. Let me remind you that what comes out of a man’s heart is what defiles him. I’ll give you one instance of that happening. Picture a balance beam with 50 right points and 50 wrong points at each corner. A man will show you by his behavior that he flaunts the law. He writes into law that says a human being is worth 3/5 of another human being. Which side do you think would gain the most points?

Mother Sayer: The side of wrong. It would probably gain close to all the points on the scale.

Timer: (Is she a truth seeker? Could she be one of those? One that asks WHY?). That’s just the way things are with human beings. Humans only relish in what they perceive as a just conclusion to a work in progress. The embellishment takes place in the form of revising how you got there.

Mother Sayer: Oh, the change of heart to end slavery wasn’t born out of righteousness? It wasn’t decided that it was inherently wrong to enslave people for the enrichment of the owners or the noble cause of making America great.

Timer: Now we’re getting somewhere. Now let’s quickly review if you want to know more. America was built by an extraordinary race of people from Africa. They were enslaved. The leaders and landowners at the time devised schemes to make it happen. Money was loaned and the dye was cast. These unholy alliances formed to make the founders rich and not the slaves. It was a brilliant and bold idea that worked for hundreds of years because it was backed by the government.

The fact that a landowner saw no other way to survive tells you everything you need to know about how slavery was solidified in America. Can’t take something away from somebody that was taught down through the generations how things worked can you?

Mother Sayer: Either fail or caste your lot in with mine so we can make a home for ourselves here in America. Dam these people. Oh, right they aren’t people, they’re property. I do understand more now, but I still need more information. How did it last for hundreds of years? You can’t tell me a gentleman’s agreement and a few shoddy country hick laws were enforceable that long. Were they?

Timer: We shall speak again. (With that, the Timer was gone and Mother was back in her home office.).

Epilogue:

(Mother dismisses all thoughts of piety. This is a chance for me to find out some things about how this country was formed and why it behaves the way it does. Is it so embarrassing to admit the crimes against humanity? Why the pious pompous façade that can only be thrown back in our faces by countries doing the same thing. No wonder we choose to ignore the obvious indiscretions of people we suppose to hold to a higher standard.

Do all these so called Christians not understand the meaning of repentance? How can they follow a man like President Trump that shows disdain for our laws and the entire country. That’s why I’ve got to know more about how the citizens that have ancestors in America can say with a straight face that stealing the wages of African Americans for over 400 years is irrelevant and old news. There wouldn’t be an America today if African Americans labor and bodies weren’t exploited for wealth and social position.

Mother is shaking now as she knows there is now a chance she will have the answers she’s always sought. The Timer she thinks. What an appropriate designation.).

REMEMBER THIS

TUESDAYS TO GO: Today is the Day!

Our delivery will be at hand. Today, November 3, 2020 we as a nation will go to vote for President of the United States. This post will focus on that office. Right now the occupant of that scared office has deemed himself a Pharaoh. Pharaoh Trump has demonstrated his hatred for the needs of these United States of America to pursue the goal of its’ founding. To seek that nation of Native American brothers and sisters, white brothers and sisters, black and brown brothers and sisters to have justice and sanctity for life as free people.

As the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart against letting his people go, the children of Israel; the Lord has hardened Pharaoh Trump’s heart to the suffering and pain of Americans peacefully protesting brutal injustice by the police and whoever enables them. For those who still believe there is honor in remembering a break away nation, the Confederacy, that fought to keep human being in bondage as part of what America stands for you’re delusional. I will remark that to this day there aren’t any Israelis celebrating or advocating that their people return to slavery in Egypt.

Now is the time for Americans to prepare for the day we will come out of our homes, places of residence, businesses and our closed minds. Today, Tuesday November the 3^rd, 2020 we will part the Red Sea by a strong east wind and vote at the polls and break the wheels of Pharaoh Trump’s chariots. The Lord by strength of hand will bring you out. The Lord has set the way and he has separated good and evil. There isn’t a question of whether all is subject to God’s law. Why is there a question of whether those we charge with responsibility of adjudicating the law believe they are above it. That goes for Prosecutors, Police and Judges.

On November 3^rd, 2020 vote out these Republicans sycophants from office and tell them you will not be subject to their race baiting disgraceful tactics anymore. Vote as if you’re passing through the Red Sea on dry land. Stop. Wait a minute. Let’s go back. Dry land on both sides and a massive wall of water on both sides. Tons of water just pristinely standing on each side with massive whales, sharks and all manner of life not penetrating it at all. Is that possible? I’m getting goosebumps just imagining it if my fleshly mind could I mean. Wow! Frankly, I would probably be frozen unable to walk because I’d be just staring in disbelief until someone knocked me over the head with their hand and said keep moving.

All of Pharaoh’s hosts the Republicans need to be voted out. These problems have been allowed to fester and boil under the very skin of our nation because we, voters, have allowed it. No more. Brutal injustice ends today November 3^rd, 2020. Chose Joe Biden as our next President. Vote for Joe Biden. Break the wheels of Pharaoh Trump’s Republican chariots and allow them to be washed away by the walls of that Red Sea coming down upon them. “The honour shall be the Lord’s.”

TUESDAYS TO GO: Today is the day!

Epilogue:

What are we doing here? Are we still talking about who won The American Civil War? The Confederacy lost. The Israelites were freed from bondage in Egypt by the Hand of God. Is that fact in dispute as well? Is Satan still roaming the pristine halls of Heaven. I’m sure there is a statue of him with both middle fingers raised standing in front of the throne. Right! Ever heard of good vs. evil? Why are we still celebrating the people who stood for bondage and got their asses kicked? Let me answer this one last thing. When you fight for a side of a conflict that means you agree with their cause.

There were none and there are none that were good on the side of the Confederacy, and if your relatives fought for them they were not innocent of the reasons they sought to destroy our Union period. By the way, ask the angels that were on the side of Satan against God. Oh, you can’t ask them because they chose a side and lost with Satan.

SEASON II

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Season Two: Episode One: The Wheat and the Tares

Prologue:

(“The question whether you can determine the good or the bad in others ignores a certain truth. The actions of others after the fact is the only way that question can be answered. No one knows whether a person is good or bad at the time they’re born. No one knows the goodness in their heart when you’re present in their company. How then can a person do business? How can a person choose a mate? How can a person protect their goodness when the true nature of a person is revealed to them?

Mother encountered these questions long ago. She knows her record on the subject matter sits somewhere below .500. Is she concerned this part of her character or as they say instinctual nature stands as a deficiency. No she thinks to herself. Never in a day will she process that truth in no way but this. I’m below .500 in reading people prior to their acts, but I’m hovering in the high .850 range how I turn the discovery of who means me harm or good to my advantage. Why is that the case you ask? The old Bible story of the wheat and the tares she says. Ah well, you require an explanation. Okay.

The unknown factor is always present in every part of life. Even when mischievous persons came under the cover of night and sowed weeds (tares) among the wheat in a farmer’s field; the farmer had to judge whether he could uproot the right sprouting’s based on his knowledge and experience. The only choice left was to allow both the seeds he planted and the tares the mischievous ones laid beside them to grow to harvest. Only then can one determine what is good and what is bad. Time is the only variable that offers answers. Some crops grow quicker than others while still others you can plant a second season if you’re adept enough at farming. The key again here when choosing a crop is timing. The same principle correlates well to human beings. Human beings have to mature and produce the kind of feedback (crop) that is edible to the needs of other human beings. Only when you receive them into your circle of needs will you learn if they are the wheat or the tares.”)

“Six months has passed since the General saved my daughter:”

Mother Sayer: (Today is the last day of school before the Christmas break begins. Doyenne hasn’t shown any signs of her recent ordeal. Perhaps I should let it be she thinks.). N’tare, how’s the menu this morning?

N’tare Bolder: Freshness all around Mother. I took the liberty of bartering with a vegetable stand to keep us supplied for the distant future. I’ve tasted the fruits and they are quite sweet. I trust you will enjoy them as well.

Mother Sayer: Hmm, thank you N’tare. I can’t wait to try them. Where are the children?

N’tare Bolder: They should already be at the table. I’ll send a servant up to fetch them straight away.

Mother Sayer: No, I’ll do it. I should do it anyway more often than I do. (Mother goes upstairs to her son’s room and pokes her head in the door. Justus, breakfast is ready. Come down to eat before it gets cold.

Justus I. Order: Coming.

Mother Sayer: (Mother turns and strolls to the end of the hall and knocks on her daughters’ door and says.). Doy, breakfast is ready. What are you doing in there?

Daughter Doyenne: Nothing Mother, just thinking about being in my room and making sure I remember it if I’m taken from it again.

Mother Sayer: (So, I was right to wonder if what she presented to my face was a façade meant to mask the aftereffects of her ordeal.). You are right Doy. Being scared is a natural mental reaction to what you went through. I can’t erase the ordeal you went through nor will I ever try. All I can say is we both can learn from it. Do you understand?

Daughter Doyenne: Learn from it Mother?

Mother Sayer: Yes Doy. I often wondered myself why do people do things to other people when they know it will hurt them. You know what I found out?

Daughter Doyenne: No?

Mother Sayer: It is that very pain they seek to cause in order to make a person turn fearful about living their life.

Daughter Doyenne: Fearful?

Mother Sayer: Fearful is like not playing sports because the other kids will laugh or talk bad about you if you do. Fearful is believing the person who kidnapped you telling you your Mother doesn’t love you.

Daughter Doyenne: He never told me you didn’t love me Momma. I would never believe him if he did.

Mother Sayer: (Her daughter starts to cry and Mother knows she’s still parentally attached to her Mother, but she knows there is still work to do.). I know baby. Crying is a good thing. You just know I would split a mountain in two if you were on the other side. You are my child and know that I will always love you.

Daughter Doyenne: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: Now let’s go down to the table and eat. Breakfast is getting cold alright.

(Breakfast is energizing and finalizing. Mother knows this experience of her family being violated cannot slip into virtual reality. It was real and my daughter just made a decision I’ve been contemplating all the more justified. I will prepare my children for life as I know it. All the danger. All the foolishness. Every pit of vipers out there I will make them aware of as best I can. I will not falter in my duty because of their ability or inability to consume the knowledge I will bestow upon them.

There will be no more hiding the world from my children. I will make them strong and alert. They will learn what I want them to learn whether they want to or not. If something like this happens again it won’t be because I failed to instruct my children on how to take care of themselves.).

Mother Sayer: (Arriving at the office the last couple of months seems to have some bit of normalcy returning to it. Mother smiles as she remembers all the tears of joy and looks of relief quite frankly on the faces of all her people. Business has returned and ideas are flowing once again. Moves are being made and people are reaching beyond their grasps. This is what its’ all about.). Sarah, good morning.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good morning Mother. I trust enough time has passed so we can get back to the pace of activities we had before this interruption.

Mother Sayer: (That’s what I’m talking about! A value can’t be placed on this woman. Hell I may as well say my oldest daughter that’s what she’s become.). Right. Let’s get her fired up again. I do have some thoughts on where to venture our creativity. How about Medicine and Media?

Sarah W. Certainty: Keep going. Carve me out a direction and I’ll drive a truck through it.

Mother Sayer: Absolutely my child. Pointing our fingers won’t get us nowhere but noticed. Tearing things asunder will clear us a path. I want to create a team to look at ways we can use electricity or a new category of it to sterilize operating rooms. Find the bookworms, mathematicians, staff with medical training and put them together. I want ground broken in two weeks.

Sarah W. Certainty: Very well. Now the Media idea. What did you have in mind with that?

Mother Sayer: Have you noticed that the entertainment that’s offered of late skims the surface of what life is really like for all humans. I mean, take a look at comedies on television. Do they really prize the spontaneity of comedy or is it just thrown in our faces and it’s up to us to figure out why it’s funny?

Sarah W. Certainty: I don’t know really. I suppose what they’re trying to do is bring some form of relief from the troubles people are facing.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, the benefit of the doubt seems a bit of a stretch here. I believe laughter springs from acceptance. Acceptance of what’s happened to you. Acceptance of the mistakes you’ve made. Acceptance that life or people will never live up to your expectations. Only then can people feel the gift of a hardy belly laugh. I mean a laugh that sprains the abdomen long after its’ over.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s sounds like it would take talent to achieve that’s for certain. To make someone laugh that hard.

Mother Sayer: That’s exactly my point. I’m not in business just to make a dollar. I want to leave everlasting monuments. Create dialogue driven shows and reading materials that push the mind to new heights. For this I must build in some conditioning, ‘a check on learning’ as the military would call it to keep myself in line and growing mentally as well.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, let the record reflect that you are submitting yourself to the crucible of accountability.

Mother Sayer: That’s very good Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: I told you I learned many things as a child that a lot of people would crawl into a hole to avoid having the memory linger in their mind. My dad taught me through observation that when you take the job you better act like it at all times. Wavering and uncertainty. It will cost you your life.

Mother Sayer: So, if I do this I have to submit to it 100 percent every time I’m called. I want to call my crucible the ARC Council.

Sarah W. Certainty: Appropriate as the name of your company is the ARC Incorporated. Will this council be able to question you on anything they choose?

Mother Sayer: I was thinking to give them unrestricted access yes.

Sarah W. Certainty: Power.

Mother Sayer: Power?

Sarah W. Certainty: With power comes responsibility. Every act in the name of it will forever be enshrined in the record. Meaning don’t water down your legend by unleashing things like you didn’t know what would happen if you set it loose. I’m more in tune to your idea of this council now.

Mother Sayer: Well I’m glad you are seeing that I’m the one who’ll be facing them.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, a little fight every now and then keeps the reflexes sharp don’t they?

Mother Sayer: That’s show right.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good. You’re covering all the bases and that’s what leadership does. Preparing to keep yourself strong at all times foresees good tidings for your people and your company. Just to let you know if I haven’t mentioned it before. I do love my job and I don’t want to work for nobody else.

Mother Sayer: (Mother laughs.). I’ll make sure to stay afloat or in the black. Now what’s this I hear about some squabbles going on in the ranks?

Sarah W. Certainty: You’ve got some scrappy fighters working for you. A lot of let’s say talent without the silver spoon spewing garbled speech.

Mother Sayer: Ah, just my type. Nothing like hungry associates ready to throw it back in the faces of their ‘daddy will give me a job’ friends.

Sarah W. Certainty: These are the kind of people you grew up with right Mother?

Mother Sayer: They’re awaiting their assignments and more importantly where their time here will lead them. Tell them when you pass down my department positions that growth here is baked into the system. I’m sure you’ll pass on my expectations. Growth personally and professionally. Ability to show leadership and team build. The last tenet will be known by the ‘who’s standing with you’ at the end.

Sarah W. Certainty: Whether or not you accomplished the task with guidance or submission.

Mother Sayer: You are kicking dirt on my heels. Nice to see my expectations are being met. You are the daughter of the Don and Sparklett Stone. Now you have become your own woman. They would know you have done them good by your maturity and the wisdom you’re manifesting.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s not something people say to me.

Mother Sayer: Then I’m glad I’ve taught you something else. In the Army we promote those soldiers with demonstrated ability and responsibility. You’re coming along on the right paths. Keep strengthening your mind and learning new things and you’ll be taking my place someday.

Sarah W. Certainty: I would be a great stand in, but I’m not cut out for long term command. I’m more of a solid right hand.

Mother Sayer: (Mother doesn’t argue with Sarah as she knows you need support staff and the right people in the right places to be successful. It’s good she knows herself). Quite right Sarah and I couldn’t hold it down without you. Okay let’s get those assignments done and out to the departments.

Sarah W. Certainty: By the way, how will you handle the inevitable conflicts and in-fighting that’s bound to happen.

Mother Sayer: There is something I’ve been contemplating over the years. When my father confronted his brother-in-law about stealing his customers it laid a scenario on my mind, but it didn’t produce all the information at that time. Do you mind if I continue talking over lunch?

Interlude:

(Mother has set the table in her office as she’s had lunch brought up to her and Sarah. She wants to teach her the way she’s going to proceed with the associates of her company and whether they will add value or deplete her bottom line.).

Mother Sayer: Sarah. There is a Bible reading that I’ve meditated on for many years of my life. It’s found in Matthew Chapter 30. Basically it says that a field was sown with wheat, but an enemy sowed tares (weeds) in the midst of the wheat. I bet you’re wondering who among my associates aren’t what they seem.

Sarah W. Certainty: Are you saying you’re not going to trust your people?

Mother Sayer: On the contrary. I’m going to trust everyone to do their assignments. That’s why it’s complicated!

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, I jumped the gun didn’t I?

Mother Sayer: Right. You forgot that anything you plant must first grow before it can be harvested.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes. Ah, once they reach some level of familiarity here at the ARC you’ll know if they mean you good or not.

Mother Sayer: Yes my dear. That is correct. Precisely the point I wanted to make. There’s no way you can look at somebody and tell who’s who. Just like the look of wheat and weeds are the same when they’re buds. Now do I expect there are people here looking to sabotage my efforts. Maybe is all I can reasonably say.

Sarah W. Certainty: Because you’d be a pessimist if you allowed yourself to be swayed any further than that.

Mother Sayer: Right. Only when my associates grow to harvest, or show they’ve fully bought into what the ARC is trying to do and support our efforts. If not, then I will know who to gather up and purge from our roles.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m glad I’ve proven myself here.

Mother Sayer: You and me both after what I’ve been through. You’ve been there for me and besides, I’m been authorized to spank you if you disappoint me.

Sarah W. Certainty: What!

Mother Sayer: (Laughs). I’m kidding Sarah. You should see your face.

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s not funny. I don’t know when the last time my Mother spanked me. I hope I’ve shown you respect at all times.

Mother Sayer: Of course you have Sarah. So much so that you have two Mothers now. I’m honored to have your trust and admiration. I plan to honor your Mother and Father with that trust until the day I die.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah walks over to Mother and embraces her.). I love you too Mother.

Mother Sayer: I love you Sarah. Goodness, so you see why we have to allow our associates to grow until the harvest and then reveal themselves to us.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: Let’s work on a few more ideas and close early today. What do you say to that?

Sarah W. Certainty: Good.

Mother Sayer: Oh, by the way. Is there someone you want me to meet? I notice you keep your personal life compartmentalized. Closed off to sight seeing.

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother. Ladies keep the heat under a pot of stew simmering. Just a saying I learned. I’ll explain it in memory of an old Italian saying concerning the courting ritual. It’s a little rough so I’ll apologize before I begin.

Mother Sayer: Please.

Sarah W. Certainty: “When a dog has a bone he’ll growl and stare another dog away while gnawing on it. When that dog’s attention is distracted another dog will steal that bone and gnaw on it and may bury it for later. A third dog may come dig it up and gnaw on that bone until it’s flavor is gone. Do you think the dog that had that bone first wants it back?”

Mother Sayer: No

Sarah W. Certainty: My Mother always taught me to first, “never to be a bone, and if I’m going to be a treat make sure you’re the only one in the bag and it’s purchased by one buyer.”

Mother Sayer: Goodness. Do you mind if I steal that for my daughter?

Sarah W. Certainty: You like it?

Mother Sayer: I sure do. It reminds me of my counselor on campus when I was studying to be a nurse. He told me that when he was a boy he was so hungry that he vowed to himself that if he married; he would make sure to provide for his wife and children. He said it was the first step he took in becoming a man. Mind you, he had some trouble in his marriage meaning his wife didn’t understand that was a critical part of him because of the way he grew up. Ultimately he gave up on the notion that she would understand how to stabilize a family unit.

Sarah W. Certainty: Is he still with her?

Mother Sayer: No. He moved on. I’ll tell you what I took from that encounter that day. I knew I needed to look for the character trait of responsibility in a man because from him I understood he took it as a no failure clause of his marriage. I’ll tell you that’s a quality in a man that’s invaluable when times are hard. I know this.

Sarah W. Certainty: Did I say how glad I am to have another woman that gives a shit about me?

Mother Sayer: Many times Sarah. (Mother laughs.).

Epilogue:

(Mother believes there is a need that is going unmet in the health care industry. Patients with memory loss and cognitive fractures need to know who they once were. Providing some video history to them when they are feeling distressed could calm them. Also physical therapy should be a directed activity and not something on a checklist. How can she make that cost effective?

Ideas are flowing and Mother is excited. The main thing she feels is the growth and safety of her children. She is their teacher and she has to keep the memory of their father alive in them as well. It will be done she thinks.

Some of these folks that say to trust people because you see the evil side of them aren’t true observers of humanity. They are the kinds of people who’s had their paths cleared for them so they don’t know how to tell who is a friend or foe. Their readings of the situation is peripheral at best. By skimming the edges of the outcomes that are possible with this person they only perceive little damage or little harm from an evil person.

What do you hear most from people in long term relationships? Families that love each other forever. Marriages that last a lifetime. It is known that a snapshot (a moment in time) can be framed and placed in a setting of remembrance, but nobody lives through a memory. Everybody grows, learns and changes over time. The hope is that the good is padded more than the bad. Therefore it stands to reason that if a person is presenting more bad than good; it means they’re more likely to defer to the evil in them than the good.

The Question Is?

Can They Both Be True? At The Same Time?

One nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Well I say that Nation and God are a dichotomy. Liberty and Justice for all are as well opposed to one another. To think it took a pandemic to stop the entire world from going about their lives worrying about every care imaginable to witnessing a black man being murdered in front of their eyes to finally believe that ‘absolute power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’. My council told me that this cruelty was presented in full color so that no one would be able to lie to themselves anymore without getting a blot.

Can both these statements be true? The police are empowered to administer the law equally to all citizens by the authority of the people. The police are exempt from that same law authorized by the people for all the people. Yes, these two statements can be true and are now true. Can these two statements be true at the same time? No! That is the dichotomy that has existed in our system of justice in America. Oh, we’ve winked and nodded when it only affected a certain segment of the population, but now just like Saul on the road to Damascus was struck blind. Black people are finally being heard. Saul too had a zealous nature about him as he went about persecuting Christians. As Jesus said unto him “Saul Saul why persecutes thou me” in Acts 9:4.

I received the above wisdom from an older Black woman. A very good friend of mine who’s helped me out of some trying times. A council that doesn’t deal in BS and she would never tell me my ‘shat’ don’t stank. It would be a giddy and joyous time if the stakes weren’t so high. Far too long have White people excused the police of their atrocities. Did it somehow move America toward that more perfect union? No it did not. If there are Christians or Evangelicals still out there that believe that sin should be punished on the street, they should crack open that Bible their leader held up in front of that church. Turn it to John 8:7 “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”.

Can those two things be true at the same? I can see your hesitation so I’ll answer for you. No they cannot both be true at the same time. No, the police can’t administer the law and be the judge and executioner! White people, get that out yo thick head! No! You can’t kill somebody because you, the police, pull any excuse for doing so from yo ass and white people accept it. Okay! Stop it! I’m going to give you more scripture Evangelicals to read. What you just read pertains to serving two masters. Yeah. That’s what you’re doing when you don’t stick to the law. Matt 6:24 “Ye cannot serve God and mammon”. Can I get an Evangelical to say amen? I don’t think the Devil likes it much either when you can’t make a choice although I do think he gets a kick out of you twisting yourself in knots over not knowing what’s right and what’s wrong.

Lastly, I want to commend my retired military leaders for reminding the rank and file of the tradition, honor, glory and valor they currently hold in their hands. Their duty is to uphold the Constitution of America. The chance for America to make good on its promise of reaching that more perfect union. I’ve never followed an illegal order in my life when I served in the Army on active duty. I’ve told my command what couldn’t be done several times and I let them know that if they overrode me I wouldn’t lie to any investigator if something bad happened with their unlawful order. Oh, let me answer your question because it’s a good one. As far as I know there is no way to rewind a decision once it’s made. Your integrity is akin to an ancient landmark. Once it’s destroyed; the writing about it in history continues except the landmark, (pause) it is gone forever.

Black Lives Matter. This one death in my opinion shocked the soul of America because our humanity was now in question. Forget the looters and the opportunists that acted on their worst impulses. Those people that did that will reap what they sow before they leave this Earth I promise you that. No it won’t be somebody taking the law into their own hands to give them what they deserve. Stay focused now. A life was taken in front of our eyes. Dismiss any life as meaningless means to dismiss all life and should we do that we do it at our peril America.

Decency and Order

That Decency and Order Thing. What of It?

First I apologize for the delay in bringing my thoughts forward on a quicker periodic basis. Nevertheless, this writing will be heavy on metaphors and spirituality laced with warnings of mental anguish if the points are disregarded. Now, the moment the majority in this country heard out loud what is deep in the hearts of their people. I know the first impulse that arose in their hearts was dismissal. I will call the police on you and say a Black Man is harassing and threatening me in the park. Flee, flee from the anguish that would cause me. I don’t want to let it linger in my mind. Well white people, it was already there because most of you weaponize it when your hatred brews inside your mind. For those that don’t understand I’ll use a metaphor to describe what it feels like in your head when you ignore this truth.

The truth you know about what she said to that Black Man in that New York park was fact. Trying to return your mind to where it was before you heard it will cause a mental ‘abscess’ in your mind. That ‘pus’ will drain into your mind with its’ yellowish color and rotting smell and it will balloon in your brain. Sooner or later it will burst and splash it’s infection to the remaining areas of your thoughts and then you’re screwed. Yes, that’s what happens when you deny the truth and actually think it worked!

What good are you now? Just another white person walking around thinking that decency and order is achieved by malice and cruelty. I read somewhere that when ‘judgment and justice are perverted in a province to not marvel at it’ (Ecclesiastes 5:8 AKJ). I still can’t believe that the US Supreme Court had to outlaw shooting people in the back. Really? Oh, it was okay to shoot fleeing citizens if it obtained decency and order. I’m curious. If the prosecutors work for the police? Who works for the people? The truth will set you free!

By the way a little on my background. I served in the Army on active, national guard and reserve status and now I’m retired. Just so you know, what happened to Mr. Floyd is called a blood choke and yes it is more deadlier than compressing the windpipe. I’ll leave that there. I’ve been confronted by the police and I too would never run from them. You don’t run from evil. When the shoe fits wear it is what I was raised on. ‘If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, do not yield because it pacifieth great offences’ (Ecclesiastes 10:4 AKJ). Meaning if you’ve done no wrong, don’t run from evil.

Tell me the meaning of the word ‘façade’. ‘A sour exterior meant to hide a sinister interior is my definition’. I am an independent leaning Democrat. In all my voting years I’ve seen Republican and Democratic U.S. Presidents that felt genuine mental distress when they were criticized over their lack of regard for the citizens of America. You could see it in their faces. It hurt them when things were said about them. The one thing I saw the most that hurt them was it was said they didn’t care about people like me. The elder President Bush, his son, President Clinton and President Obama. Does anyone think that the man in the White House now cares about anybody but himself? Careful, you don’t want to form another mental abscess.

Listen to me now. Everything is riding on this Presidential election in the year of our Lord 2020. Vice President Joe Biden is prone to gaffes. Ask yourself why? Remember when family is upset with each other and the one family member trying to restore peace is doing it at a hectic pace. Not caring what he says. He just wants to stop the pain. That family mediator is trying hard to restore order and love on both sides so that the family can come back together. That’s what I see in Vice President Biden. He knows he’s wading into the defining crisis of our Republic. God help him succeed. All of us (Jew, White, Brown & Black, Asian, Muslim, Protestant and all Religions) are depending on him?

Leadership is Under Attack

Leadership: Gender Specific or Gender Neutral?

First and foremost before I begin let me put to rest the doubt and disbelief about leadership. Leadership is a ‘Pillar’ of God. A ‘Commandment’ that only God can establish and thus cannot be watered down by a political philosophy. So, leadership is not something that can be parsed into smaller pieces to suit a person who is unable to carry out the massive requirements embedded in the foundation of the word’s meaning. Thus Jeremiah 32 verse 27 (key words) ‘all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’ Malachi 3 verse 6 (key words) ‘For I am the Lord, I change not.’ 1^st John 4 verse 14 (key words) ‘the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.’ (Holy Bible Authorized King James Version).

I trust those who’re in tuned to the truth have picked up on the theme above. Of a truth, everyone cannot be a leader. Let’s establish some facts about the selection process. No one knows who is capable until they’re placed in the position. It is similar to a statement about combat being that you never know who’s going to fight or flee until the bullets start flying. Mary, Mother of God, was a disciplined leader as she kept her mandate and gave birth to Jesus. If anyone is confused about what it takes to carry a child to full term go read a book on the matter. Harriet Tubman’s actions doing a sadistic period in America and she still did it. Rescuing slaves was dangerous business. Eleanor Roosevelt and her fight for women’s rights before her husband FDR became President of the United States.

Coco Chanel founder of Chanel in France. Sybill Storz of Karl Storz GmbH a medical device company in Germany. Shari Arison is an American-Israeli businesswoman. Oprah Winfrey is an African American businesswoman. Jeanne Bice an American businesswoman. Now I can list a few men here as well, but for the sake of making my point let’s say men have garnered more deferential treatment already say we. I want a very smart person, female or male, to write an algorithm and crunch the numbers with this one purpose. Which gender throughout our known history has shouldered more of the burden for equality and human rights? Which gender has helmed a business of any kind and kept it solvent, recovered it from inept leadership, and garnered the highest returned for its’ investors? Which gender has brought about justice and dignity in politics? I want to run the numbers for the last two hundred and fifty (250) years.

When the data is compiled; I want to see the regions of the world that has progressed more toward those commandments that God has laid out for his creation. I want to see within the places these leaders reside the synthesis if there is one where government, business and churches working together to meet the needs of the citizenry. Lastly, I want to know which gender performs these high minded ideals better. I have a belief that women perform just as good or better than men when given the chance. Taking into the account the control that each example would be from the position of leadership, woman and man.

It intrigues me that most of the historical celebrations have placed men in the spotlight. Let’s see if history would judge that to be the case when a controlled study is presented. Albeit we should take into account the suppression and oppression of women by men in the study as well. I wonder even with that error accounted for would men still be seen as the better leaders? I acknowledge all the studies of known success stories and biographies of women, but let’s get the question answered once and for all. Are men or are women the better leaders based on the outcomes they’ve produced when put in charge? When you’re the leader you’re responsible for it all period! Leadership is the monument established by God. You and I means you can’t water it down because the one representing your party’s not up to the task. The CEO is the leader of the company. All aspects of the company period! From the lowest paid employee to the most sensitive of product creation and distribution.

Lastly may I say. Watch yourself. You keep bouncing back and forth while tweaking the meaning of leadership to suit the moment. Sooner or later you’re going to forget the fact that you were never authorized to change the meaning in the first place. Know the truth because it will keep you free.

Seeking Safe Leadership

Why does the United States Military hold the leader accountable for everything that happens under their command? Think before you answer my question because there is only one right answer. I’ll tell you why in a moment, but I want to populate the sky with the clouds that cover it first. Why did God give his people a King after many years of them pinning for one? God gave his creation a King because he couldn’t convince them that he was the only true loving and merciful King they could ever desire. What his people got in their Kings were corruption and death.

Manasseh was 12 when he began his reign of 55 years in Jerusalem which he done all the evil he could and caused the people of Israel to commit abominations in the sight of the Lord. Ahaz the King of Judah did all that was evil in his time of rule for 9 years. Ahaziah the son of Ahab reigned for 2 years over Israel and did evil in the sight of the Lord God. These passages were taken from both books of Kings in the Authorized King James Holy Bible. Yeah, there are many more where they came from.

Have you noticed a pattern yet? For some of you I don’t have to explain the resulting infection on the citizens under their authority. I will anyway. The people of Israel sinned and were punished because they were led astray ultimately by the leaders they chose to rule over them! There is no such thing as an effective, spiritual, good priest that takes my confessions and makes me feel the forgiveness of God while he secretly molests young girls and boys. There is no such thing as a murderer of elderly women who volunteers his time in the soup kitchen feeding the homeless still being a valued soul among us all.

There isn’t a politician that hates all people of color as evidence proves it by his practices in his business and personal and now political life. He also cuts my taxes and is for making abortion illegal. Oh, and he supports the state of Israel which confirms him as a good leader. You Christians can reason all you want in saying the good things your leader does outweighs the bad things about him. Oh, and one more thing about this comparison to the Israelite King David. King David was remorseful and ashamed when God told him he saw what he did with sending Bathsheba’s husband to the hottest front of the battle to assure his death. I’m afraid it’s true. You can’t assign character and morals to someone because you think it’s all good the things you’re getting from him. You will someday be judged by God for your obedience to the evil and safe leader.

Now do you understand what I mean about the United States Military holding fast to the code the leader is completely responsible for everything under his or her command. That’s how God set it up you moron! Your choice of leader locks you into all he or she does. All of it! If you think you’re good because you’re getting what you want out of the deal just wait because the milk will sour sooner or later. There is hope. That hope is change the leader because there is no such thing as I only support the good parts about him. No. You got all of him. The entire package. Period!

Don’t try it again. Your asinine, trifling kindergarten attempts at dumbing down what we know as true leadership. Leadership is well defined and it is not safe. Leadership is rough and weighs heavy on the soul because the leadership knows his or her actions have consequences for the nation, the soldiers, employees, citizens and every government official charged with a duty to be faithful to the country you swear an oath to love no matter what under God.

FHORDEWEI: KINGDOM COME

Scene 02

Landcause.com presents

A Tale of African Lore

FHORDEWEI: KINGDOM COME

Prologue……

DThy City, the Capital of Fhordewei. It belongs to everyone. The seven souls of great heart gave birth to it with their very lives. Legend be told that the ‘First Father’ himself gave specific instructions that if they were not followed to the letter there would never be a ‘Fhordewei’. The capital city was born and is named in honor of the ‘First Father’ who made it possible. Alas, that story is too strong a testament to meditate upon now. The Queen turns her thoughts back to the borders of the kingdom. The ‘Vine’ of Fhordewei extends to every corner of the kingdom. O how it came to be is a tale that is the cherished story if not the song that is sung in the heart of every citizen of this land.

The ‘Vine’ stands as the connection to the ‘First Father’. It gives of itself eternally. The roots of the ‘Vine’ extends so far beneath the kingdom that the ‘Guard’ of Black Company swear they see its’ roots poking through the rocks at the bottom of Nosund Valley. The ‘Vine’ feeds the soil and provides passages for water to reach our planting fields. The ‘Vine’ holds what we don’t see beneath the ground together as it works with the trees which give us the shade and secures our land in place.

The Queen thinks that she can never tire of beholding such beauty or its vital and secure nature to the kingdom. Such a view is being forced aside for what she must witness soon. Her thoughts assault her again with another first which she seems to not be able to regulate. The sadness is beginning to win over her hardened exterior. No matter how much she calls upon her training to suppress her emotions she is faltering in that fight and she fears she may lose it. The last thing she wants is to present an emotional face to her husband the King, but she succumbs to the possibility there is no stopping it now.

Scene 02: Four Daughters

Elethia Blackword: Where is my daughter? (The Queen asks the guards and the members of the staff where the body of her daughter is now. She is quickly escorted to the chamber where the King is standing over her body receiving a preliminary briefing on what’s happened and the steps that will be taken next to know exactly what happened and why).

Sho’Im Blackword: Thia. I’m sorry, Storia. (The King looks at the expression on his wife’s face as a first look he hoped he would never behold).

Elethia Blackword: Storia. (That is all the Queen said that day as the history books recorded. The Queen then turned around without touching her child’s body and vigorously strode from the room).

Sho’Im Blackword: Braecihm, I want all the daughters here in this room immediately.

Braecihm, First Voice: Yes my King. (First Voice turns and orders the guard to escort the U’taker to bring the other daughters into the same room with Storia).

U’taker: I will do it at once.

————-1^st Interlude————-

(All four daughters are now in the same room. The King hasn’t left the room since his daughter was brought back to DThy City, the capital of Fhordewei. He has learned to suppress his emotions with the training he received during his preparatory years in the Corp of Princes. Now that he is King there are more matters at stake than cueing up a few training guidance’s to apply to this moment in his reign.

During his contemplation he experiences a consultation from one of the Seven Realms. A ‘lawgiver’ from the Realm of Law tells him to record the stories of each one of the daughters for all time).

Sho’Im Blackword: Braecihm, bring the mothers and fathers of the other three daughters here. I am ordered to record their story and what their lives meant to the Kingdom. Their loss to the Kingdom now and what they won’t be able to contribute again which is a loss to us all.

Braecihm, First Voice: Yino Peni (Ye’No Pen). I have chosen you to be the recorder for these daughters. Gather your materials and return here to begin your work.

Sho’Im Blackword: Who will we record first Braecihm?

Braecihm, First Voice: (His most creative story writer, Yino Peni, has returned with his materials and an artist to illustrate the part which the artist feels must be included in the record. The artist is the most joyful of the class. She is Neaka and she is not much older than all the daughters who were all at the age of fourteen at their death). Yino, are you ready to record?

Yino Peni: Yes, my leader. We are ready to proceed. (Yino looks at Neaka as she has her canvas ready to record the vision that presents in her mind).

Braecihm, First Voice: Alright, we will talk about Plemensia first. Daughter of Plou and Giswai Maeson.

Plou Maeson: Plemensia. She was a driven child. She was hard to feed and thus a difficult child to please at the table. She always commented on the smell of her food how it didn’t entice her to consume it. We thought it was unusual until we remembered what we’ve been taught as citizens of Fhordewei. ‘Never discourage the path of a child even though you may think it is not in the best interest of the child.’

We reconsidered our conclusions and my wife, Giswai, invited her in the kitchen to help her cook our meals. (At that moment, Giswai begins to cry and asks if she could stay and listen to the retelling of the events that happened in her home).

Sho’Im Blackword: Mother Giswai, you don’t have anything to be ashamed of here. We would feel cheated if you held back your love for your daughter.

Mother Giswai: Thank you my King.

Braecihm, First Voice: Plou Maeson, you may continue telling us of Plemensia.

Plou Maeson: My wife was happy. One day I decided to just observe them from a place where they couldn’t see me. The connection I saw even made me jealous. She and her daughter were together. She did everything her mother asked her to do. She not only was a natural cook, but she wanted to please her mother. That made Giswai so happy. I never seen my wife so happy.

I began to feel fortunate. Of all the things I did or contemplated doing to bring life and joy to my household; I didn’t think of something so simple as being together and doing things together could fulfill that wish of mine. Plemensia didn’t stop at the normal dishes we usually had for our daily meals; she started to use the full choice of herbs and spices that would best bring out the flavor of all her dishes.

She began to get so good at it that our neighbors started to invite themselves over for dinner because her cooking started filling the air in our neighborhood. Plemensia even got an invite to be an intern under the ‘First Cook’ of Black Company.

(The Maeson’s continued on for another hour and Yino and the artist Neaka did their best to record it as it was said. At the end, the next family began to speak of their daughter).

Sho’Im Blackword: Thank you Plou. The record will reflect the impact that Plemensia had within and outside the walls of your home. Her life will be as reflected by the record one of extraordinary achievement.

Braecihm, who’s story is next?

Braecihm, First Voice: Ealer, please tell us of your daughter.

Ealer Wanaver: Her mother, Tayla would give an account more richer than I could ever hope to achieve. I yield to her mother if you would allow me to do so.

Braecihm, First Voice: It is permitted. Please Tayla Wanaver, tell us of Vyi’sea.

Tayla Wanaver: Vyi’sea, she quite remarkably is a dancer. I use present tense because I do not wish to forget her. I see her dancing in my head and I never want to see her any other way.

Braecihm, First Voice: It is official. Your daughter will be referred to in the present tense at all times.

Tayla Wanaver: I don’t know how she could dance like she could. She barely walked before she turned two. She held herself up by anything in her path. My husband thought she had something wrong with her spine because she could never stand up straight. Oh, but what happened when she turned 8 years old. She danced to the breakfast, lunch and dinner table. She danced to the bath. She danced to school. She danced when she was summoned to do her chores. There seemed to be music playing in her head at all times that fit every part of her life.

Sho’Im Blackword: She really danced while she did her chores?

Tayla Wanaver: My King, she danced while she was getting dressed. I followed her to school one day and saw her performing some new moves for friends and thought how could she ever learn her schoolwork if all she thought about was dancing. Well, I embraced her calling just like the other parents did their daughter. I had her dance for me and gave her pointers and polished up her movements to be more fluid and with vibrant expression.

Sho’Im Blackword: Did she take your advice?

Tayla Wanaver: My King, she expanded on the advice I gave her. I never thought I could witness a gift of the First Father, but she convinced me that his gifts are special. My daughter could lift your spirit. Not just for a moment, but for a lifetime because seeing her dance would create a lasting memory in your head you wouldn’t soon forget.

Sho’Im Blackword: I must confess. I experienced her talent three months ago at the festival week of DThy City in Juary. She was unforgettable to say the least. A true treasure of Fhordewei has been taken from us.

(The Wanavers’ have concluded the record for their daughter and it is time for the third daughter to be put into the history of Fhordewei.)

Braecihm, First Voice: Weaven Klothmaker it is time to recount for us the life of your daughter Air’rais.

Weaven Klothmaker: My wife, Hipai and I always wanted someone to follow in our footsteps. She took to sewing garments the moment she saw us working in our shop. Air’rais was crawling around and pulling on everything in the shop. She clutched the garments like they gave notice to the rest of the world that the wearer of this item was important. That gave me the notion to see if see was really meant to be a garment maker.

Hipai (Hip’Pie as in Pie) thought she was just doing what a child does at that age, but as she grew she really started to embrace the garments as if it was a calling. I knew there was something there, but I didn’t push it initially.

Sho’Im Blackword: You must’ve exercised caution in the beginning even thought you thought you saw what you saw?

Weaven Klothmaker: Yes of course my King, but I felt it was genuine. Air’rais was really taking to garments and how people felt about their clothes. She wanted them to feel good about themselves and how they looked. She even started designing clothes. I knew then we had a ‘cloth designer’.

We started her in the trade slowly because we didn’t want to overwhelm her. She could design when she turned eight and she could cut and sew when she turned ten, but only with supervision so as not to hurt herself with the equipment. Our daughter was taking after her parents. Do you know what that feels like? We were amazed and fortunate that the ‘First Father’ thought enough of us to give us a child to carry on her family trade.

(The Klothmakers concluded their daughters’ story with samples of her designs and examples of the clothing in real life).

————–2^nd Interlude—————

(Now it was time for the King to recount the life of his daughter. Storia Mistel Blackword was an imaginative child and he wouldn’t have any trouble telling her story).

Braecihm, First Voice: My King, tell us about Storia.

Sho’Im Blackword: I must say her stories kept me going on many difficult days. When I needed an outlet to reenergize my soul and mind to the problems needing attention in DThy City and the greater kingdom. I turned to my daughters’ stories to get away from it all at least for a short time.

Seeing that the Queen isn’t here now I will put in the record that most of her stories were about her mother. She thought Elethia could walk on water. Her mother commanded the best of the entire kingdom. Her mother the Queen commanded Black Company. The greatest warriors of her time. Men and women all obeyed her commands.

(The King laughs as his voice coming through the smile he has on his face). There is this one story of hers’ that she wrote concerning the conflict with our neighbor to the south, the Molians. She just knew her mother vanquished them in less than 3 hours. It was 3 days, but don’t tell Storia that. Her mother could outsmart and out maneuver anybody on or off the battlefield.

Braecihm, First Voice: Storia was a creative soul to put it factually.

Sho’Im Blackword: Yes she was Braecihm. She wrote hundreds of stories and I made sure that they were kept securely for all of Fhordewei to enjoy for all time. Our history is our people. Our culture is formed every day we rise from our beds. We can’t lose it. How will future generations ever know what happened here if it isn’t written in the annals of our history books. Storia represented the life of all citizens. Many nights I sat with her as she wanted to show her mother her writings. She wanted to show her mother that she was honored to be her daughter but didn’t know how to tell her. I always told her to wait for the right time. I guess the right time never came to be.

Epilogue………

(The King has presided over the conclusion of the record of the four daughters murdered at the hands of as of now an unknown suspect. He will not stop until his daughter, all daughters taken unjustly from life have their day of justice.).

Produce Delivery

I don’t marvel at the words of Christian leaders anymore because I know they never spoke for God and they never will. These Christians have somehow constructed their own Faustian model of a deity that deals in gifts of valuable items such as no abortions, conservative judges, no immigrants of color and oppression of the poor and homeless. These Christians view this Faustian bargain as normal in the course of politics, but they choose to ignore the underlying cost requiring their soul to profess allegiance to their idol God. I’m mistaken? Well Proverbs Chapter 28 verse 4: ‘They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.’

Another false belief of these ‘Evangelical Christians’ is that they have the right to judge everyone else’s sins and transgressions because their sins and transgressions are not as bad as those other heathen peoples’. Oh and Proverbs Chapter 28 is a good one to spend a little time in meditation. Moving on, I can see the benefit of a dissociative mind because God and his way of doing things can be quite frustrating if you want to have in place a structure that’s based on money. I mean money is the fastest way to get someone who doesn’t have it to do your bidding right?

Let’s review before we continue. Only God can judge each and every one of us for the conduct of our lives. We as American citizens can judge the conduct of our elected leaders. Understand the difference? I hope so. Now say for instance that you drive your friend to the bank and he goes in and robs it. You drive off and go by the grocery store. Your friend the bank robber knows you have need of food and he gives you some of the money he stole to purchase it. Are you complicit now in the theft at the bank? Hint, we know you are because you drove him away from the bank after he robbed it. Yeah, your friend didn’t earn the money honestly nor did you purchase the groceries honestly.

You can say all you want that Senator McConnell outsmarted President Obama after the death of that Supreme Court Justice by not allowing him to seat Justice Garland. You know Senator McConnell broke all rules and protocols of decency by withholding that seat. Yeah, let someone cut in line in front of you and see how you react. There is no such thing as all is fair in love and war. You can’t assign decency or honor to someone because they hold a position of authority! Get it through your lying head! Let’s go back to the Holy Bible for a moment and remember King Herod partaking of his brother’s wife Herodias. John the Baptist said it was wrong and he literally lost his head for telling King Herod he was wrong right? Careful casting your pearls before swine because the swine will come back and tear you apart.

Finishing my point that only in a cocooned world of Evangelical Christians can evil gifts be seen as beneficial and good for Christianity. Now let’s define a couple of words such as honor and righteousness. Honor as I would define it over the course of my life is a belief in a standard of behavior that cannot be questioned in its’ display of all that is good. A respectful mastery of one’s own spirit that is wholly benevolent and protective to the weak and duly subordinate to a just Higher Power. Righteousness is possessing of virtuous characteristics such as truth, humility, dignity and ethical conduct to name just a few which comprises a life that holds such traits as tenets to live by defines a person of honor. So, to conclude this post, don’t try to tell another person that a politician, leader, parent, or any person in authority is good. Let their behavior be displayed to the entire world as evidence in itself. Isn’t that what your parents taught you? Judge a person by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Didn’t Dr. Martin Luther King say that? Oh, I see, now that you’ve made a little money and are enjoying the pleasures life has to offer, things aren’t so right and wrong anyone more huh?

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time Episode Fifteen: The Road to Damascus Part Three: ‘A Sayer Day of Reckoning’ The Conclusion

Prologue:

(It seems I’ve lived a life that is worthy of a kind-hearted God. My daughter has been kidnapped and I qualified for help in his sight. What act in my heart has granted me this favor? Oh forget your ruminations about how this is possible and what part you’ve played. General Sennfphoru has his reasons and the time will come when he will reveal them to me.

Alas, we’ve been flying South for a while now since we left Louisville in a military transport. We switched transports when we landed in Ecuador. It seems we’re going into this part of the world looking like everybody that lives in this part of the world. Well, Tholodious didn’t say the road would be smooth and might I tell myself I’ve gotten soft over the years.

Let me join in conversation with my former commander.)

Mother Sayer: (After replaying all her interactions and her confrontations with her former commander, Mother has recalled to memory all she needs to know what to expect from him). I think we have quite a distance to travel before we reach Colombia. Can you tell me why you’re helping me?

General Sennfphoru: (The SUV is occupied by four people. Mother, the General, Pharwalker, and the driver). Major, have you thought about people that leave their country of origin? What force or calling draws them away from their home?

Mother Sayer: No I haven’t specifically, but I’ve studied the Diaspora of the peoples of Africa. Before you say it, I’ve broadened my perspectives about cultures and I now know that many races migrated from the lands where they began. Some by force. Some by choice.

General Sennfphoru: Many of my people, the Jewish people, carried something of value with them when they left. Something of value to be used to better settle in a new land. Something to trade or barter to smooth the transition to a new home. Many traits or customs that are distorted today began as preparations for a journey. We’ve always insisted on paying our way and less so on the charity of others.

Mother Sayer: Teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish.

General Sennfphoru: Quite right. Your philosophical background was well known in the task force. I see we’re a little behind in updating your file.

Mother Sayer: Must not be much of a file. My niche was medical. I only dealt with patching up wounded soldiers coming back to the (Forward Operating Base) FOB from all the missions they went on.

General Sennfphoru: I know. That’s why I wanted to test a hunch of mine. I’ve seen the American Army was top heavy in officer rank and I didn’t want to believe the report, so I wanted to get an idea about the officers under my command.

Mother Sayer: You wanted confirmation to know where to place people in positions of leadership based on ability and not on who they knew or kissed up to.

General Sennfphoru: For the most part my impressions were corroborated by the responsibilities I assigned these officers.

Mother Sayer: I would’ve done nothing different. My executive staff have my full confidence because I to placed critical tasks on their shoulders just to see if they could handle the pressure.

General Sennfphoru: Then, I trust we’ll skip the outrage about my outsider status and ornery disposition to have everyone comply with my way of doing business.

Mother Sayer: General, I grew up with a man that didn’t cut me any slack.

General Sennfphoru: Yes, ah what was his name? Ableman Sayer. Am I correct?

Mother Sayer: (Okay, I shouldn’t be surprised this man knows about me and how I do things. Don’t act like an amateur Sayer. Stay on his level or above. This man, like the women and men that deal in this world don’t have time for feigned outrage. You are a player on the world stage now and in that arena the ‘outcomes are for keeps’). That’s correct. I learned quickly that this man saw a visceral awareness about me. He married my mother just so he could teach me. I didn’t disappoint him.

General Sennfphoru: (The General keeps his eyes trained forward and cuts them to the Major only when he perceives his words are painting the scenery he desires to engage on all her modes of perceptions). Not many adults can interpret what exists outside their own skin and certainly even fewer can decipher the feedback from their senses.

Mother Sayer: Body language. I do agree that its interpretation can be misread by the unskilled, but intent is still a combination of the verbal and the nonverbal.

General Sennfphoru: I’ll say this, the majority of the countless interactions I’ve had with people, barring categorizing them in terms of good and evil; I’ve learned to lean more on what motivates them. Once I spear that, then I can humanize the intent and thus develop a plan of action to neutralize the threat or act in ways to seed the good in them.

Mother Sayer: I agree with that analysis. I should have picked up on the signs that Mr. Goone was playing me. I, I just wanted to win. Keep growing my company no matter the costs right? That’s the idea I kept seeing in the world around me.

General Sennfphoru: Precisely. That’s the trap that’s laid in front of us all. Seek your own success and not the success of others and you will be happy. Well, intertwined within that philosophy lie the snares of treachery. They’re hidden along the path they want you to follow, but they’re covered with notions of ‘self-made’, ‘visionary’, or the worst of them all ‘born leader’.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, I’ve walked over that ground especially the ‘visionary’ turf which lauded me with praise while I struggled to find my way. Those are loaded phrases, ready to detonate by the slightest trigger in the mind to say the least.

General Sennfphoru: Good. Living up to them can be excruciating especially when you realize they’re just empty chants of accomplishment stickered to the wall of life with failing glue.

Mother Sayer: The ARC, my company, is built on verifiable achievements, not hyperbole.

General Sennfphoru: Then what triggered the rush to expansion? What prompted you to deal with such a man like Goone?

Mother Sayer: ‘Trash’. Well winning and trash. I’ll explain. I graduated from UofL. There was this guy that seemed to know I was teetering on the edge “laden with failure”. I was young and pretty and I was awash in the compliments of the young men on campus. This guy though, he saw that for what it was. The attempt to get me into bed. Victor was his name. He told me one day this phrase I’ve never forgotten.

He said, “What do you think you’ll find sifting through the garbage”. I said, “Trash”. He smiled and walked away leaving me alone I guess to contemplate the truth of my quick answer.

General Sennfphoru: He told you about your behavior in a metaphor?

Mother Sayer: That’s right. He possessed those traits you just talked about. He could read everything about those young men and if I didn’t know better; he could tell me exactly where I would’ve ended up if I got snared in the trap. Listen, nobody has held my hand crossing the street since I was a child. His wisdom meant that I had to figure some things in life out quicker than others.

General Sennfphoru: I’m guessing if you didn’t listen you probably wouldn’t find a glimpse of your future as a well-respected Major in the United States Army or a savvy business woman.

Mother Sayer: (Was that deliberate or just a slip of the tongue). Probably. Well General, you still haven’t explained to me why you’re helping me?

General Sennfphoru: I’ll tell you why soon. In the meantime, the people who travel far from their lands or their countries are more than just nomads. They’re ‘Far walkers’. Yes I see you looking at Pharwalker. Her name means exactly that. I still haven’t discovered the ancient meanings associated with leaving the place of your birth and building a home in a faraway land.

Mother Sayer: I’m sure there is a deeper spiritual purpose to the practice. Why are we discussing philosophical connections to variations in the Earth’s surface?

General Sennfphoru: I’m just honing my metaphysical chops while this operation is nearly ready for implementation. The team can execute the mission in roughly 2 hours, but we will not arrive for another 4. Do you want to be present when the operation takes place or should I order my team to retrieve the asset immediately?

Mother Sayer: (This is part of being in command. I can’t show selfishness as I know emotions are always a part of combat, but I decided on a change when my daughter was kidnapped). No, send them in when they’re ready. Do you have a woman there to care for my daughter until we arrive?

General Sennfphoru: Very well. (The General signals Pharwalker with eye contact in the rear view mirror). Execute. Major, we should be at the front soon enough.

Mother Sayer: Ah, the ‘Front’. (Mother looks at Pharwalker a little closer. The driver. These operatives exude crackling energy. Dynamic precursors to the General. Recalling how the General conducted himself in Iraq explains the selection of these two impressive individuals). ‘The face is the entrance to the body’.

General Sennfphoru: Superficially?

Mother Sayer: Empirically, because that which is true is seen, heard, tested, and verified as fact. That which is false is based on data that is drawn, tested and compared to a stringent set of criteria accepted as a method to disprove any findings or results.

General Sennfphoru: Good. I’d hoped you’d remember a lot of those boring briefings I conducted in my year in the big chair.

Mother Sayer: I personally don’t need a mirror to know who I am, and I certainly won’t straightway forget. (He’s telling me something I’ve already started. I need to step up my game if I want to play on the biggest boards).

General Sennfphoru: I had entertained the thought that you’ve lost a step.

Mother Sayer: Since we’re being upfront with each other, what exactly is this outfit that you command?

General Sennfphoru: I’ll answer your question in a moment. Tell me first, if a leader places an inept subordinate out front, does it lay bare the fallacies of the leader?

Mother Sayer: The ability of the leader in placing people in key positions is a “forward facing indictment”. This evidence can either confirm the credentials of the leader or invalidate them. Faith or trust in the leader has to be founded on the merits and supported by demonstrable facts.

General Sennfphoru: 3 Fold-C is a private outfit. It is governed by a strict moral, spiritual and ethical code of honor. The members are nationalities from all across the globe. Two years of training in the philosophical, spiritual, and mental disciplines provide the gateway before all recruits are even interviewed for compatibilities to our code.

Mother Sayer: So no one unsuited is ever out front. Only those capable in mind, body and spirit displaying self-discipline are ever considered. Skills and talents are transitory. Withstanding the prosperity and adversity that life brings is easier said than say cultivated right?

General Sennfphoru: Yes, there are members accepted into our organization after completing the application process. Listen, I’ve veered off into another part of what makes us tick. Most importantly, our organization seeks to protect and promote human life. The ascendency of humanity demands manual effort. Taking life is never factored into the equation of a mission. Believe it or not, we set up a fair judicial hearing for all perpetrators of illegal acts on site and render verdicts according to international law.

Mother Sayer: International law says the death penalty is illegal.

General Sennfphoru: That’s right it is. That’s why we offer an alternative at sentencing. Ritual combat.

Mother Sayer: You’d give a man the right to fight to the death? That’s his only choice realistically right?

General Sennfphoru: Yes that’s right. If the convicted man doesn’t wish to accept exile, then he has the right to fight for his freedom if he so chooses.

Mother Sayer: Because most men of criminal and evil tendencies will choose death over another man telling them they’re forbitten to do what they’ve done all their lives in hurting other people.

General Sennfphoru: Providing an honorable path to win their freedom or die with dignity recalls both our ancestries.

Mother Sayer: (Mother knows she has to process a lot of what the General is saying internally and not give away any clue that she’s squeamish about his methods). Alright General. I won’t be a hypocrite and tell you the thought never crossed my mind of icing this guy. Your way at least gives him a fighting chance to win his life out of the arena he has chosen.

—————- 1^st Interlude —————

(Such a lush green jungle landscape. Mother wishes she was on a leisurely ride through the countryside of this South American nation, but the purpose of her visit is rooted in much more serious objectives. Mother’s daughter has to come out of this mentally and physically whole. I need my daughter back to being a child wondering about what toys to play with. Telling me boys are icky. Why she can’t play dress up and go to school.

Why her Mother is teaching her about how boys will treat her if she behaves in certain ways. Why respecting herself is not negotiable. Oh, so many things I need to teach her and all of them could be for naught.

Mother scolds herself into letting her mind slip into pessimistic thoughts and dire outcomes. “Failure is a mindset and only I can set my mind to failure”. Remember that she repeatedly tells herself. Everything will be okay. We will succeed today. We will succeed today. We will succeed today).

General Sennfphoru: (At the moment Major Sayer agreed to allow the rescue of her daughter to begin, the General nonverbally signaled Pharwalker to tell ‘The Creator’ to execute the mission.)

—————- 2^nd Interlude —————

(In the city of Pasto, Colombia where carnival is as much of the culture as it is also tradition. Celebratory hearts are awash in everybody. It is the kind of gathering that makes the people of Pasto share all their desires in helping it continue. A model of working together. The streets stay clean. Acting out beyond what is expected during the carnival isn’t tolerated.

What a joy it must be to live in a city such as this. ‘The Creator’ envisions his mission now. He will brief his team at the staging house shortly. The General’s intent is quite clear no matter the mission. “Leave nothing behind to indicate a battle was fought here.” Those words are embedded with a ‘ton’ of implied tasks and expectations. This is ‘The Creator’s’ 23^rd mission since he joined 3-Fold C and was chosen by the General as his teams’ ‘Creator’.

The Major’s daughter is being held in a small building right at the border of the city. A tactical error on the part of the girl’s kidnapper. ‘The Creator’ observes with all the lush vegetation throughout this country. In any case, ‘The Creator’ takes nothing for granted or slights any perceived advantage of the adversary along the string of variables to his knot. Battle points are secured like that. In battle with careful planning that matches the skills of your team. You must have a team capable of executing your plan, or you’re simply adept at moving pieces on a board game.

‘The Creator’ is the master at planning. Simple plan executed at remarkable speed. ‘SPEARS.’ You will see one today Major Sayer. ‘The Creator’ thinks, maybe.).

Cha’renn A’owave: Has the order been given Creator?

The Creator: Yes Cha’renn, and I’ve already received a vision of how the rescue should be executed. We will need to move quickly to change out the usual festival participants with our people in order to meet the timeline of the General’s arrival.

Cha’renn A’owave: Proceed with dispatch Creator. (Captain Cha is a warrior. How you define him is of great importance. First, he’s not a man beholden to right and wrong strictly by the eyes or the ears. He’s not a minister, but he can sit down with any Rabbi and discern the word of God with clarity and legitimacy.

The General pulled him from the Israeli Army after the Captain was having trouble following orders he didn’t believe were morally just. After he was summoned to 3-Fold C, the General’s team welcomed him with the usual hospitality and began the work to qualify him for the 2-year entry program. The Captain was observed 24 hours a day no matter what activity of daily living he performed.

Ego, arrogance, stupidity, anger, vengeance to include all negative human behaviors and emotions not mentioned were anathema to what was expected of every team member of the organization. Performance, knowledge, good judgment, temperance, honor, devotion to a cause greater than yourself is the expectation.).

The Creator: (All members of this operation are present as the plan is laid out. I will need 12 men and women in the costumes we’ve acquired. I need a third of the team to secure the woods surrounding the house. A third of the team dressed as the locals mixed in with the team in costumes. The last third I want observing and identifying targets as they come into frame.

The ‘Pneuma Team’ I want you in and out with the girl soon after you make the decision for retrieval. (The Creator knows not to give precise instructions to the ‘Pneuma Team’ as situations on site can change instantly and he doesn’t need doubt creeping into their mission.).

Cha’renn A’owave: All teams, you have 30 minutes to plan your part of the mission. We will execute the mission in 45 minutes.

—————- 3^rd Interlude —————

(The proper acquisition of the costumes for the carnival have been transferred over to the first 12 members of the team who will give cover to the ‘Pneuma Team’ to extract the asset. The final team is in place in the woods surrounding the house to prevent any surprises from the woods or any residents of the house trying to flee that way.

The Creator has approved the planning and is observing the deployment from within the crowds at the carnival. The Creator likes to stay close to the action because he knows to get better at this craft he needs to be present in its’ execution. The General knows this about the Creator and his methods and has approved them many missions ago.

There is movement in the house as some of the men holding the daughter of Mother Sayer decide to go out and join in the carnival. The Creator sees this and is astonished at the lack of discipline or control this Mr. Goone has over his men. No matter, the Creator knows the General’s team takes nothing for granted. The Creator presses the send button on his radio as an electrical charge races across the airways. He says one word. Execute).

Cha’renn A’owave: (Falls forward at the front window as the crowd is pushing through the street and mulling at the town’s edge. Cha’renn gets up in his costume and leans against the window just enough to block the view outside. He hopes this will cause one of the men inside to come out and shove him aside. His move proves to be correct as there’s rustling in the house and the front door opens.). Oh sorry, just let me catch my breath for a minute.

Boarshet Rumner: (One of Goone’s men opens the door hard and it bangs roughly against the inner wall. Unbeknown to Goone’s man three operatives are already inside subduing the men in the living room quietly. Three more operatives swiftly enter the home to secure the bedrooms. The final three operatives enter the home which includes Ca’knan, an assassin. Ca’knan is Ninja. She will retrieve the girl). Get off the window dumbass!

Cha’renn A’owave: Sorry man, too much fun. (Two operatives approach Boarshet and subdue him quietly. The Captain knows the living room is clear as he removes his costume and sets it in front of the window. He calmly strolls to the front door and enters. Still with all senses on extreme detection he passes each room and sees all of Goone’s men pacified. Only one room left to check).

The Creator: Captain is the location secure?

Cha’renn A’owave: Yes, Creator. We have the asset.

The Creator: Good. Bring her out quickly. The General will be pleased.

—————- 4^th Interlude —————

(The call is received by Pharwalker. She blinks in the rearview mirror the code of success and life to the General. The General takes note and continues to grill the Major because as he’s stated there is more at stake than just her daughter. This one is personal and he knows the emotions are still running high in his former subordinate.

We will reveal both our motivations when we get to the rendezvous site with the Major’s daughter. I have waited a few years for this chance at redemption the General thinks. I now have a valid reason to ask this of her. My time has finally come.).

General Sennfphoru: We will arrive at the rendezvous point in one hour. Your daughter has been rescued and she is safe and alive.

Mother Sayer: What? How? When?

General Sennfphoru: Ten minutes ago the operation concluded. I just wanted to make sure there weren’t any secondary calls after the fact. It would’ve been embarrassing to me if my team showed such ineptitude.

Mother Sayer: Okay, I agree, but she is okay and alive? She isn’t hurt?

General Sennfphoru: She is fine. Let’s talk about your plans going forward to protect your family.

Mother Sayer: I’m already on top of that.

General Sennfphoru: Okay how?

Mother Sayer: I’ve hired a private detective agency to look into any potential business arrangement before I get involved. I’ve hired two security guards at my home to protect my place of residence.

General Sennfphoru: What about your travels to and from work? Your children to and from school? No bother. I’ll set you up with the security company I employ to protect my vital assets.

Mother Sayer: (The Major knows not to argue with the General on this issue. She simply nods her compliance and listens to him speak more on the changes that must come in her life and her family.). Of course General, as you wish.

—————- 5^th Interlude —————

(The trip seems like it has lasted an entire day. Every inch, every yard, every mile brings me closer to may daughter the Major thinks. She looks out the window trying to maintain her composure in the midst of these incredible operatives. The Major thinks, “I can maintain it in this SUV, but when I see my daughter I will be out for blood.”

The General sits beside her seemingly content with the answers provided by the Major on this road trip. He is certain now he’s picked the right woman to train his daughters in the ways of a woman he or his wife couldn’t. The ability to function in a society like America calls for a certain kind of ruthlessness. The General knows somebody who’s been taught and who’s teaching her own children in those ways of success and survival are rare. He’s made the right choice. Now, the only thing that’s left is to ask her permission.)

General Sennfphoru: We’ve arrived.

Mother Sayer: (The Major exits the SUV in a controlled burst and asks for her daughter.). Where’s Doyenne?

Sweejae Sennfphoru: She’s playing with toys inside. I’ll go get her.

Mother Sayer: (Mother stands poised and strong knowing that all the mission personnel are closely watching her every move. Then she hears the call. A call like all creatures of the earth calling for their Mother.). Doy. Come to Mother.

Doyenne: Mother. I knew you would come. I’ve had so much fun with Momma Sweejae. She told me her daughters are as pretty as I am.

Mother Sayer: Good. Are you okay? Did that man hurt you?

Doyenne: No Mother. He just called you so many bad words.

Mother Sayer: Oh, I see. Well we gotta go home now. We’re going to fly out of here soon. You stay with these people. Mother gotta go do something. It won’t take long.

Mother Sayer: (Mother walks over to one of the General’s operatives and asked for her weapon. The operative hands the M4 to Major Sayer and the Major goes through her training when she handles a loaded weapon. The General sees the exchange and walks over to the Major.). Thank you.

General Sennfphoru: Do you know the most terrible and shameful day of my life Major?

Mother Sayer: Don’t, I’ve had enough of this guy. It has to be done.

General Sennfphoru: It was when I sent you on that convoy. The one which you got shot. I’ve relived that day over and over again since. Do you know why it is a day of shame to me?

Mother Sayer: General, what are you saying. I don’t understand.

General Sennfphoru: I wanted you to fail Major. Then when the call came in that you were ambushed; my heart sank like it just fell into the Red Sea. I wanted to dispatch a rescue team along with an apache flyover, but the situation didn’t call for it. I waited on baited breath as I listened to you recover your strength and gather your team and get out of there. I felt responsible for your injury and to this day I feel guilty over it.

Mother Sayer: I, I don’t know what to say. I do remember you were on edge a lot and the tempo was such that Iraq was about to explode because of political decisions. I never thought you would send me to my death. Why?

General Sennfphoru: I know women are a part of the Israeli military and they’re well respected. I didn’t hold the American women of your armed forces in the same regard.

Mother Sayer: After my performance, your respect started to come a little my way. I noticed you lightened up on me after I got back. Oh, I see now. Would I order my soldiers to return fire if we were under attack. You were wondering would I pull the trigger if I had to. Well you sure didn’t need to worry for that.

General Sennfphoru: I know. What was that you said to gunner. ‘Spit in their face’.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, I asked if he remembered he was from Alabama.

General Sennfphoru: There’s no need for you to involve yourself further. That’s why I’m asking you to give me the weapon.

Mother Sayer: You’re the second man I’ve completely respected that’s asked me to give up my weapon. I can’t do it this time.

General Sennfphoru: Major, this man will indeed claim victory over you if you go in there and kill him. In your heart you know it isn’t ritual combat. Besides as your father would say, “Somebody has to stand before the Father and Mother of Lights and not be a disappointment.”

Mother Sayer: How? (Mother looks at the M4 and safeties it.). General, thank you. I will take my daughter and go home now.

General Sennfphoru: Oh, I do have one more favor to ask of you. My wife and I, who you’ve just met, we’re wanting to leave our two daughters with you. We will provide support for all their needs and continued training in our ways. We ask that you teach our girls to be as strong a woman as you are.

Mother Sayer: It will be my honor. You know General, a Black man was once King of your people, so our alliance isn’t as forgotten or unknown to the people that are descendants of our ancient ties.

General Sennfphoru: True. I will see you soon in Louisville, Kentucky.

Mother Sayer: I’ll be waiting. Goodbye my friend.

The Furnace of Affliction

Does anyone recall the woman approaching Jesus from behind as he passed in the street with all the throngs of people pressing him? Do you remember the woman believing ‘just a touch of his garment’ and she would be healed? I’ve had a spiritual event occur in my life recently. It would’ve been sooner had I been simply following the healing techniques for the mind that I’ve been espousing here on landcause.com. It’s one you’ve already heard of. Meditation. Let’s look into its’ proper application and the undeniable results it brings when correctly performed.

Whether meditating on one word or a sentence the practices are similar. First define the crucial words. Write them down and read them aloud. Order the words by their entry into your thoughts. Knowing the meaning of the words focuses your understanding and leads to purpose. Purpose tells us why we’re meditating on a word or a sentence or verse if you prefer. My purpose for this meditation was a racing heart worrying about debt. When I applied the blessing of meditation my issue of worry immediately stanched. I will reveal the verse of scripture that stanched my issue of worry in a minute.

This is tragic. Too often we bestow upon people the right to speak on the issues of the mind. Mental health leadership can’t be given to someone because they’re wealthy. Mental health leadership can’t be given to someone because they’re a minister. Mental health leadership can’t be given to someone because an unlearned person said ‘He or she really helped me through my crisis’. This sort of thinking does more harm to the professionals who’ve spent the time learning how to address and help the troubled solve their issues. Some people received this gift by a calling and some through years of study. Certainly the entertainment industry can’t bestow mental health leadership on anyone because they have the loudest platform that reaches the most people!

The Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible. Isaiah Chapter 48 verse 10…Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. Let’s break it down. Refined means to take something raw or coarse and polish or reshape it for better use or something of value. Silver means a precious metal. Chosen means a selection was made because of potential to succeed and ability to obey. Furnace, listen to me, furnace means engulfed or completely engaged by intense heat and pressure. Lastly affliction means to bear a malady or suffer a burden that is disturbing your entire existence.

Do you know why a lot of people fail when their moment of truth arrives? They’ve fought the pain from their assigned affliction for an undetermined amount of time. When you’re questioning why for too long you’re not what? Learning. When you’re not learning then the message will sadly vanish, evaporate, or untether from you and you’ll never receive that understanding you’ll need when faced with an issue of life. The point? Quit complaining and start meditating while the answers are still hovering around your presence! Believe in why you are chosen to bear this constant pain and you’ll stop feeling sorry for yourself. If you don’t remember why I revealed an incident in my life as a 11 or 12 year old standing over a cliff, and a voice was telling me to jump and I responded why? That would hurt. A thought is not real until you, you, act on it!

Now I hope those of you who’re not babes in the ways of the mind are following and understanding. Those of you that aren’t pay attention. I have to admonish everyone. If you’re suffering an illness that you alone aren’t able to bear, seek professional help immediately. This post just like all the rest is a recounting of what I’ve used to address the same issues of life everyone experiences. My issue of worry which manifested itself into a racing heartbeat was keeping me up at night when I wanted to be sleeping. I was spiritually given the above verse and I broke it down just like I’m retelling the process here in meditation. My issue of worry stanched immediately because I believe in the effectual healing of meditation.

Meditation is the ability to focus your thoughts on the ones you call upon and silence the ones you want quieted. When done correctly the process happens simultaneously. Let me add something else to this post. I hope everyone reading this post understands that discipline plays a huge role in channeling your life. Discipline is a source of human power that deters you from making bad decisions if cultivated and internalized. Bad things happen to you because fate is tired of your trifling and asinine stupidity. Without discipline and a few other morals and virtues we tend to go with whatever thoughts pop in our mind and expect the world to excuse the bad ones.

Listen, I get so frustrated to hear the media and entertainment industry tell everyone who’ve undergone a psychic tear or a ‘rupture of the mind’ to pretend it never happened. How destructive is that! So the wound should be ignored? Oh, this one is better. ‘The entertainment industry and the media tell people to pretend that all the bad things people do to other people should be ignored if you work in those fields. Like police officers, emergency medical personnel, doctors, members of clergy or even lawmakers confronted with the loved ones of victims crying out for justice. Bearing the burden of humanity’s atrocities comes with the job. Don’t behave as if it’s not real. It will harm you. Restore the balance with compassion and love for the sanctity of life.’ Working to strengthen your mind is probably your best chance at a spiritual life. I know what you’re thinking and I’m not talking about religion, but human beings do achieve more when they know a higher authority could be disappointed by certain behavior.

Meditation is meant to be practiced in order to be mastered. Life implies that it is continuous, so incorporate the discipline of meditation into your life and reap its benefits. Don’t worry about mastering it right away. The key is to keep doing it and time will notify you of the results. To be clear I’ll give you more of my secrets. “Thoughts alter other thoughts just as if you’re reading drug interaction warnings. Chemicals alter other chemicals. More importantly, thoughts can destroy other thoughts. Thoughts can conquer other thoughts. Let the thoughts you want present to be present, or replace them.” Take care and repair those ‘ruptures’.

A Tear = A Rupture of the Mind

Quote: “It is a peculiar orthodoxy of humankind to desire discipline, structure, love, intelligence and reasoning for a mind that holds no learning key or guide. Morals, values, equivalencies, and virtues are essential to many who understand what they bring to a person’s name and reputation, but more importantly what they bring to the sanity and serenity of the mind is immeasurable.”

Who Do You Go Unto?

I am writing this post in lieu of the many postings I’m behind on because I have to stop and explain the way massive change happens in the world. Quickly now, look in your Bible, TAKJV, turning to Exodus Chapter 8 verse 1. Who is the authority to which God send Moses? Continuing, it’s imperative to understand when change needs to happen there is a straight line to the person, place or thing to bring it about. Would we all agree to that assessment? In your Bible, the process of changing Pharaoh’s thinking began fiercely (Read: Mother S. Sayer: The Road to Damascus). If you’re already there to where I’m going, just stay with me anyway. Evil is not conquered by gathering in a circle chanting we shall overcome. Nor is evil defeated outside in the hall when it exists in the chambers of power. Yes, you face it. You confront it. You slam good up against evil. Metaphorically speaking, that’s what takes place.

Now we wish to rewrite history because we’ve stopped the gushing of innocent blood to merely a steady spill. Listen to me. There will never be an end to the innocent loss of life. It is possible to end, but for it to happen there must still be people willing to face evil in all its’ forms. The oppression of the hireling in his wages. The discrimination of anyone based on the shield of religion. Christians bestowing piety onto an evil man or woman no matter the title he or she holds. Weaponizing the rule of law by allowing it to be unchecked in the hands of those who shouldn’t be practicing it. Judges, who are ill suited for the bench making rulings based on a political ideal. Lawmakers from local to Federal, cloaked in what ails their mind, purposefully keeping us in harm’s way because no one is willing to challenge them on their prejudices.

God didn’t tell Moses to tell Pharaoh what Moses would do if he didn’t comply. God told Moses to tell Pharaoh what God would do when he didn’t comply! I know, that’s gonna shatter millions of Christians glass minds. Yeah, God made the threat. Sorry to disappoint you. That’s what I’m saying. Many millions of Americans will still vote for Donald Trump for President for various reasons. Some have achieved a modicum of success (the worst sort of people believing they are better or washed clean from the poverty or messiness of their past). Some still believe they can prevent others from getting something for free (I’ve never been able to figure that one out in spite of the fact that everyone pays taxes in some form). Vexing. Some still believe their race is superior to another. Some people believe their money inoculates them from all potential threats to their life. Some people just want to see chaos because they know humanity is flawed and treacherous.

When Vice President Joe Biden speaks to whom he had to confront (his own apprehensions included) to push the right part of humanity forward, let us not attempt to rewrite history or untether the high cost of all races that joined the fight for equally. Frankly, we needed white men to confront their own kind. Period. Period. Period. Careful, let’s not qualify or quantify historical periods until sufficient time has passed. We are in 2019. Be very careful. Change is happening at a rapid pace. Don’t derail it by trying to score political points against others who’ve endured great cost to get us this far. The tablets that Moses brought down from the mountain. Don’t fret as Moses himself did not. Those who wish or long for the past back in the bondage of Egypt will get what’s coming to them (Reference my Post: Where Hatred Lies Leave it There).

There has to thoughtful assessments and wise council if we are to usher in a bright future after President Trump. Adherence to this course of action must include sound wisdom and complete discretion. Stick to the plan and do not deviate from it to the left or to the right. All will be well.

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time Episode Fourteen: The Road to Damascus Part Two: The Acts of Sayer

Prologue:

(I need help. Who will help me? I don’t know anyone who can do the things that I need done to get my daughter back. Mother Sayer wrestles with many thoughts to include thoughts of death to her daughter and herself. It is always best to contemplate serious matters with a serious train of thought. I’m a woman, a business owner, a daughter, mother and an Army Major. What is it about any of those qualities combined that gives me the capability to handle this situation? I do need help, but where do I find it? I can’t go to family because this matter has outgrown any help my father or siblings could offer. God I wish Zar were here.

Keep it together Se’May, she tells herself. Alright. Keep working and follow through on everything which means don’t fall apart or show signs of stress toward any of my staff at the ARC. I’ve been trained by my father, the United States Army, and my own protocols to push me to the limits of my mental and physical abilities. Abandoning these learned competencies right now would be as foolish as applying an emotional response to this affront to my family. No, I must bring to bear all I’ve learned to find a solution for my dilemma.

I won’t abandon my daughter, myself or my company. I won’t bring disgrace to the Officer’s Corps of the United States Army. I will emerge victorious as I’ve dealt with Mr. Goone honestly and fairly. That man’s offense this time will be his last against me. I will outsmart this man and get him out of my life forever. This means Se’May, oh just say it, you will have to incorporate some hard qualities that men use so thoughtlessly. These qualities are called for right now. Doy has to learn from her mother certain skills more quickly than she has up until now. This situation can’t happen again and unfortunately I have to be a mother and a father now.).

Mother Sayer: (After opening her eyes at 0600 as she always does every morning, Mother’s mind races through all facets of her dilemma. She knows her thoughts must return to the days when she commanded a convoy or clip in Iraq. The sharpness and the certainty of lacing together every step and act throughout her mission each time she went outside the wire. She rises from bed returning her mind to its’ combat state of readiness.). Well, Mother, let’s go get her done.

Mother arrives at the office at 0800 after dropping off Justus at school. She takes a moment to scan the area for any signs of trouble. Someone out of place, something that wasn’t there the day prior. She can’t put her finger on what she’s feelings, but something is different about this morning.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good morning Mother, I hope all is going well. Have you solved your problem with one of my father’s henchmen?

Mother Sayer: No Sarah, I am contemplating many things, but honestly I’ll need help to execute a lot of them. That’s where I am right now in deciding my next course of action regarding this matter.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, do you know anybody like that? I mean anybody that’ll undertake such a serious matter like this. I sure hope you do because this Goone is sort of a thug with certain refinements. He’s not just a looker loving all the ladies. He can fight. I’ve seen him fight and I’ve heard of some of his brutality. He’s no joke.

Mother Sayer: (That’s what I’m talking about. Intel. Now I’m getting somewhere.). Does he have many friends that would back him in this kind of move. Taking a child as hostage?

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, yes he does. Forget what you see in the movies or on television. My father has men working for him who have no problem taking life or inflicting pain on anyone, men or women. Don’t go up against them thinking these men have a code of decency of some kind that values women. They don’t.

Mother Sayer: How many men do you think he has?

Sarah W. Certainty: I’d say at least 30. Mr. Goone ran a part of my father’s territory here in Louisville. You don’t get that responsibility by being a man who gets squeamish when you need to hurt somebody for not paying up.

Mother Sayer: Wonderful. Just what I wanted to hear. A man with loyal henchmen. Great.

Sarah W. Certainty: If I may step out of bounds on this, how did you meet such a man?

Mother Sayer: Out of greed. (Brutal honestly is the only place I act from going forward Mother thinks to herself.). I was stringing together a pile of successful moves so fast that I didn’t think to consider the next move. It’s the next link or attachable thread that is the most dangerous when experiencing all the success from everything I touched. “It’s like being in traffic and the car in front is stopping. Instead of just stopping behind I change lanes without clearing it on the right.” I just didn’t practice all I’ve learned and quite frankly I deserve to be stung by this nagging bee.

Sarah W. Certainty: I can say one thing about you Mother. You’re consistent.

Mother Sayer: Consistent? What do you mean I’m consistent?

Sarah W. Certainty: I mean you still accept blame and the consequences that arose out of your decisions. My Father would certainly have hired you if you were a man. So, how are you going to solve this predicament is the question of the moment?

Mother Sayer: To be honest Sarah, I, right now, I don’t know.

—————- 1^stInterlude —————

(The flight through Europe was standard protocol as General Sennfphoru boards the last leg of the trip in Atlanta, Georgia. Before he disembarks his flight from Europe to Atlanta, the General is told to check in at the airline ticket counter to verify the last leg of his flight. At the ticket counter, the General is handed, along with his ticket, an update to where the target is in real time in South America. Mr. Goone is being tracked with all possible destinations on alert for his arrival. ‘Watch for a black adolescent girl and report back immediately.’).

Mother Sayer: Well Sarah, I’ll be in my office. I need some time to think.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay, I am going to get lunch. Do you need me to get you anything Mother?

Mother Sayer: A tuna on wheat would be great, thanks Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: (A call is made to the Truck Shop and Son Skyy gives Sarah the update on when Mother’s old commander is due to arrive in Louisville.). Good, I’ll walk her down to the lobby at the end of the day with all the employees of the ARC present.

Mother Sayer: That’s a good tuna fish sandwich Sarah. I must remember to have it every so often now.

—————- 2^ndInterlude —————

(The General has landed. Son Skyy just knows it. He somehow knows it. As wind crackles with steadiness as it’s undeterred in whichever direction it chooses to travel, so does the General move unrebuked in a quest his mind is ordained to fulfill. The air pressure seems to suddenly compress causing sound waves to buckle or die in flight before reaching a receiver. This Commander was lauded for his precise adherence to plans and their execution. The men and women he commanded knew his expectations. They were the most stringent and demanding they’ve ever faced in their Army service. If you were an operator under his command you had better know your tactics, techniques and procedures blindfolded. Those who couldn’t meet his standard were not commanding soldiers in his task force. Not in Iraq or anywhere for that matter where lives depended on leaders knowing their jobs.).

General Sennfphoru: (Tholodious walks off the plane with his carryon. Baggage claim is avoided because that’s bad tradecraft, but it doesn’t mean he’s oblivious to the two men who seem out of place greeting passengers as they clear the arrivals gate as family and friends await their loved ones. Tholodious signals to his team members at the Louisville Airport to stand down as he knows his entry in country wouldn’t go unnoticed. It is about 1pm on a sunny day in April that begs for every living soul to get outdoors and enjoy the weather. He walks outside to the vehicle that will take him to his meeting with the Major.). Pharwalker, report.

Pharwalker: ( Sumori Pharwalker’s presence is just like her name is envisioned. A beautiful Korean operative trained in all tactics including those that require she blends into her surroundings.). All is as planned General. Our contact has seen to it that the Major will be at her office building until 4 pm. She is unaware of your presence. If the Major agrees to come with you, your transport is standing by to take you both to the staging area.

General Sennfphoru: Where did this Goone finally set up shop?

Pharwalker: He’s in Colombia.

General Sennfphoru: Is the team there prepared?

Pharwalker: All was in place before the target arrived with the girl.

General Sennfphoru: Tell them to maintain surveillance according to Standard Plan 3. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing the locals would identify as unusual on a day to day basis.

Pharwalker: Yes General, Standard Plan 3, operations in an austere climate. Everything brought in slowly and out of sight.

General Sennfphoru: Make sure they understand that there are more things at stake here than just returning this little girl to her mother. I will ask something of the Major in return for doing this for her and I don’t want any detail missed or overlooked. Is that clear?

Pharwalker: Yes General, very clear.

—————- 3^rdInterlude —————

(The General arrives a block away from The ARC Incorporated office building. He decides to grab a bite to eat at one of the city’s famous restaurants. After ordering, he notices a waiter standing in the back staring at him as if he’s holding his piss without a place to relieve himself. The General excuses himself from the table and tells his team to stay put. He walks to the restroom and there in the hallway is Twelve. Twelveworks for some U.S. intelligence agency, but he could never get a straight answer from him which one. Although he finds the moniker a bit obvious, he just shrugs it off as Americans trying to be applicable to the nationality of the contact.

The General explains to Twelve that his stay isn’t part of anything Mossad or the intelligence agencies are unaware of and he’s just in town to enjoy one of America’s great cities. Twelve tells him that Se’May Sayer’s daughter is on the radar, but she didn’t qualify for Federal assistance. The General’s reply is something like good to see you and maybe when I have more time we’ll exchange war stories.).

—————-4^thInterlude —————

(The ARC has had many days where uncertainty crept through the slightest of cracks and attempts to dictate actions and behaviors, but Mother Sayer has also learned in 34 years through her Father’s teachings how to blunt and dispel its’ impact. Now, more than ever her training is being tested in the direr of situations. A life hangs in the balance.

This is when the realization hits her. I can’t count on Zar to take over this situation as the husband should in these types of matters. My husband is not here for me to lean on, so I have to do something I’ve been avoiding. I’ve got to harden up. I’ve got to suppress my tendencies to nurture my children and just tell them what to do. It is time to be more aloof and demanding. God help me she thinks. My children will resent me for it, but they will be alive and well. I can live with that outcome.).

Mother Sayer: (It is getting on into the late afternoon. She is finished reading about the ongoing projects and one in particular she has spent the bulk of the day familiarizing herself with. It is involving the Medical Division of the ARC Incorporated. A study has shown some promising results. It would seem the human mind concerning dementia and other related illnesses respond to historical probing. Gathering a thorough account of a patient’s history and seeking to make meaningful dialogue around treatment goals could be a breakthrough. The medical team is researching a theory they call ‘fractures’ which if successful and contact with the patient’s cognitive ability is established; it could signal the inroad long sought after that could revolutionize the field. She gives the appropriate funding approval and takes a look at the time.

Around 3pm, Mother decides to call it a day, but she will make sure her projects are readily accessible in case she decides to make a move to go for her daughter.). Sarah, can you assemble everyone in the lobby, I want to make an announcement before I leave for the day.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Did someone jump the gun and tell Mother what we were planning? The thought races through Sarah’s mind slapping away all attempts at slowing it down. Wait wait wait, she has finally restored normal traffic in the corridors of her mind. Just ask her when she wants everyone down there.). Yes, Mother. When would you like your team assembled in the lobby?

Mother Sayer: Oh, around 4pm would be ideal. We’ll just play it by ear if something occurs to change that timeline.

Sarah W. Certainty: Very good Mother. I will spread the word.

Mother Sayer: (Mother picks up her office phone and dials her residence. From this hour on this day forward, I’m finally going to play by America’s rules. ‘For Keeps’.). N’tare. How is everything?

N’tare: All is well here Mother. Is there something wrong?

Mother Sayer: Yes, there is something wrong. My daughter is in the hands of a crook. A well trained and fighting crook I might add.

N’tare: Is there something I can do?

Mother Sayer: Yes there is N’tare. Is Justus home and if he is I want this to start happening right away. He is to stay at home until I tell him otherwise is that clear? He goes to school and he stays at home afterwards.

N’tare: Quite clear Mother.

Mother Sayer: Second, I want all of his friends and that school to undergo a thorough background check. Tell me what you find. Hire the best and most discrete private detection agency in the city. Tell them that there will be more work for them in the future if they deliver the goods.

N’tare: If I may ask Mother, to what end does this action you now undertake foresee of your future?

Mother Sayer: (Mother knows N’tare will do as she asks of him because he trusts her judgment, but she also understands human nature as changes this monumental means something.). I am preparing fortifications because the war comes to my doorsteps again. I apologize for asking you to do this over the phone. This situation has exposed a weakness in my perimeter which allowed this man, Mr. Goone, to cruise right into striking distance. I can’t allow that to happen again, ever.

N’tare: I will begin my search of what the city has to offer and get back to you when I’ve completed this task.

Mother Sayer: Thank you, N’tare. Your friendship and council is worth more to me than you’ll ever know.

—————-5^thInterlude —————

(It is now 3:40pm and all checks have been made on the To-Do-List. Acts have been decided upon and taken. One thing though Mother didn’t anticipate. The ARC Council calling a session right in the middle of this crisis. ).

ARC Council: Mother Sayer. It is time for another chat. Are you prepared to face us?

Mother Sayer: (There is a quick response that nearly broke through her lips. It would’ve sounded something like, “Are you fucking crazy, do you know what’s happening now?” Fortunately, Mother Sayer at this point in her development is learned enough to suppress the natural human tendencies present in us all.). Oh, course.

ARC Council: Are you having any problems we should know about?

Mother Sayer: Problems that are inherent to a multi-million dollar company is all. Can you be more specific about your inquiry? Do you want to know if the toilets are working? Maybe the weekly menu in the kitchen needs sprucing up?

ARC Council: What about your daughter? Is she in trouble?

Mother Sayer: (Somehow they always know things they shouldn’t. I guess that’s what I get when I hire ‘Philosophers’. Yeah, she’s so grounded when she gets home?

ARC Council: What’s her infraction we might ask?

Mother Sayer: Oh, she flew off to some faraway place without my permission.

ARC Council: Where is she right now?

Mother Sayer: (Mother is steaming with indignation over this intrusion into her family’s crisis, but she knows she needs the practice. This won’t be the first time she thinks to herself that an enemy has penetrated all the way into her life so intimately. Keep thinking on your feet she recalls. This is a variation of one of the Army’s tenets. ‘Shoot, move, communicate.’). Right now. I do not know.

ARC Council: Do you want some help?

Mother Sayer: (The realization hits her like a punch in the gut from George Forman. I have skills long ago learned resting in the memory corridors of my brain! I have need of them once again. The logistical planning. The ability to function with intelligent purpose and forethought that indicates focused intent to reach a desired conclusion. My father has taught me well. The Army has taught me well. I won’t fall apart now and bring disgrace to the time, care and trust they’ve shown in me to perform under pressure. Recall the skills, traits, and keen determination that did mark your name for they are needed once again. Additionally, I’m glad I didn’t fight against the relentless demands of me because if I did; I certainly wouldn’t possess those great skills that this situation calls for.). What?

Mother Sayer: I’m sorry, what did you say?

ARC Council: (The Council did take note of her retreat into her thoughts, but they decide to ask the question again.). Do you need some help?

Mother Sayer: No. If you’ll excuse me, I have a meeting that was called ahead of your session.

—————-6^thInterlude —————

(Mother exits the ARC Council session and walks with Sarah to the elevator. The encounter with the Council increased her awareness of the serious matter she faces even more profoundly. Nonetheless, she still must bring to bear every resource at her disposal to solve the problem and bring back her daughter. Alive.).

Mother Sayer: Sorry about that Sarah. I did set the parameters to include the right to call a session no matter what situation I was facing.

Sarah W. Certainty: No need to apologize Mother. We’ve seen the effects these sessions have had on the bottom line of this company. Working for you doesn’t just fatten our bank accounts. Working for you stimulates our minds to grow beyond any job I’ve ever heard of or have been told about by my friends.

Mother Sayer: I think you mean I’m a weird employer.

Sarah W. Certainty: No no no Mother. I’ve grown and matured beyond what I’ve thought a woman could believe was possible, except for save my own Mother. I’m indebted to you. What you’ve taught me; I know you “can’t recall what you haven’t learned” and it tells me I should be grateful to the one who spent the time doing it, and of course myself for being ‘willing to be taught.’

Mother Sayer: (Contemplates for a moment while her thoughts coalesce.). Sarah, I’ve been too slack in my total embracement of you, my staff, and everybody associated with the ARC. When you have lived as many years as I have, or you may understand immediately what I’m about to say and know what burdens I must bear.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Thinking of her parents, especially her mother.). As do we all Mother.

Mother Sayer: “There are systems of parental teaching that’ve been done from grandmothers to mothers and grandfathers to fathers. Neighbor to neighbor, principal to school teacher and all the systems of discipline that was woven like an attachment of tethers. These systems served as the conduit for which instruction flowed. Now, I don’t know how they were destroyed and torn asunder, but they’ve been frayed extensively throughout many years.”

Sarah W. Certainty: You are talking about ‘familial systems’. Systems of caring, discipline and instruction that make up or should make up any sound family life if there must be one.

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah. These familial systems served communities very well. How do you think Black people survived and even innovated in an America where they were denied the basics? Education, freedom, safety from tyranny and the ability to start from nothing and still take care of each other.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve read a little of the history. Please tell me more.

Mother Sayer: Defiance was a rallying cry, but accountability I suspect was crucial to getting everyone on the same page to make it work. People had to trust each other and dare I say, love each other.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like you love your children? Like you love us?

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah, like I love my children. I also love my people and always think of us all when I make decisions keeping the doors of this company open. Cherish your blessing Sarah because ‘you’re being taught in the midst of one of these systems that wasn’t allowed to be frayed or torn asunder.’

Sarah W. Certainty: Right Mother, as you’ve taught me. I can only run one or two choices for my life. It is written somewhere that you gotta be hot or cold because the third option is vomited out.

Mother Sayer: (Mother chuckles.). That’s correct Sarah. I’ll explain it metaphorically if I may. When a person is pulled in more than one direction, the effect manifests itself like a shotgun blast. As a shotgun blast projects out wider as it travels farther, it’s effect on the target is minimal if at all.

When a person instead chooses a path in life, then their energy is focused and directed toward a definable goal. The blast hits the target. Another way of putting the cost of indecisiveness is like plugging every appliance in your house into one power strip. Each appliance is pulling juice or energy from that wall socket. Think about it. Sooner or later that socket would get burned out. Why? Because the demands would eventually be more than the outlet can take.

That is the purpose behind a familial system. The entire community keeps everyone in check. We used to didn’t complain when a neighbor admonished our children. We didn’t complain when we got punished at school. Now America as a society wonders who is there to watch and guide our children when the parents aren’t around.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve got to contemplate this knowledge like I do all of your deep sessions with me.

Mother Sayer: Sessions?

Sarah W. Certainty: Just like you keeping yourself strong with your council. I keep myself strong staying put with you and learning all I can from you.

Mother Sayer: I appreciate that Sarah. I love you too. I think though we should start down to the lobby as we’re already late.

—————-7^thInterlude —————

(The door to the elevator opens when Mother and Sarah reach the lobby. Stepping out into the spacious interior of the building always reminds Mother of a parade field. She needs to address her troops and keep them informed as to what’s happening in her family. She begins.).

Mother Sayer: Everyone, I have some important news that I need to tell everybody before I do what I have to do. My daughter has been kidnapped by a man I once did business with. He is demanding money. I will be taking a leave of absence in order to straighten this out. In my absence, Sarah will coordinate all your projects. Please continue your work as if I’m still here. Thank you.

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother, thank you for your trust in me. Respectfully, we want to help you get through this.

Mother Sayer: What are you talking about? (In that moment she sees Son Skyy make his way to the front of the employees standing in the lobby. She is curious he is here as the truck mechanic shop was exempted if customers trucks needed to be completed.). Son Skyy, is the shop okay?

Son Skyy: Mother, I.

Mother Sayer: What is it Skyy?

Son Skyy: Everybody gather around Mother. We want to help you.

Mother Sayer: You have. Now I have to go.

Son Skyy: No Mother, we want to help you.

Mother Sayer: Move out of my way. All of you. Right now.

Son Skyy: No Mother, we want to help you.

Mother Sayer: (The desire to get her daughter back becomes overwhelming and Mother lashes out.). Move right now! (Mother is blocked from leaving and she gets pissed). Move!

Son Skyy: We’re going to help you and that’s why I’m here.

Mother Sayer: I told all of you I will handle this myself. Now get out of my way and let me go get my daughter.

Son Skyy: No Mother, you’re not going anywhere until you agree to let us help you.

Mother Sayer: I knew it. I knew it when I was doing it. That was the worst mistake of my life. Giving you women, you men my love. Now I’ve put you all in danger as well. (Mother then tries to move people out of her way and get to the door, but Son Skyy says something that makes her pause.).

Son Skyy: I told everybody about what I had in mind and they agreed that I should do it. I’ve called somebody we both know to help you find your daughter.

Mother Sayer: What? Who did you call?

(At that moment General Sennfphoru says two words).

General Sennfphoru: Hello Major.

Mother Sayer: (At first Mother thinks she didn’t recognize the voice, but as she’s been taught she lets the voice, then the memory come to the forefront of her mind and she realizes who has just spoken to her.). Well I’ll be, Colonel Sennfphoru. How? What are you doing here?

General Sennfphoru: I came as soon as I got word. We need to agree quickly as we don’t have time to go down memory lane. My transport is waiting right now.

Mother Sayer: Already barking orders are you. I’m not going anywhere with you until you tell me why you’re here in Louisville.

General Sennfphoru: I can help you get your daughter back.

Mother Sayer: Don’t make a claim you can’t fulfill! I am not in the mood for any of your judgments or critiques right now. I know I’m at the mercy of my daughter’s captor right now, and I’m a little bit on edge. Sorry. Forgive me that outburst. That was rude of me.

General Sennfphoru: No apology is necessary. I am well aware of your tendencies. We need to speak and if you’ll agree; I can go get your daughter and bring her back unharmed.

Mother Sayer: Not without me you’re not!

General Sennfphoru: Major, you don’t need to prove anything to me or anyone. I know you love your daughter. Please, allow me to do this for you.

Mother Sayer: (Mother pauses and then decides on accepting his help.). I will go with you. My daughter will know her Mother came for her. Discussion over. Is that clear General?

General Sennfphoru: (The General knows too well the Major’s tenacity for her soldiers, and he knows he can extend that same devotion to her daughter.). Agreed.

(The General throws up the universal sign for ‘saddle up and move out’ and Pharwalker immediately alerts all positions to be ready for movement.).

————-Epilogue—————–

The goodbyes were extended, but not until business was conducted. Mother Sayer left all department heads in charge of their operations. She instructed that all ongoing projects that were approved can be picked up from Sarah in her office. Sarah knows everything and it will continue to be conducted in that manner. If you run into any issues, you are to bring them to Sarah for consultation and approval. Then, Mother turns to all her people and apologizes. “I didn’t mean to say I made a mistake in loving all of you. My father gave me love I didn’t believe existed. His primordial sperm didn’t join with my Mother’s egg so I could part the matrix, but he gave me everything that mattered. His love. I restore my love to you now.

By the way, don’t have too much fun. I will be back and I expect to see my company not only standing when I do but going gangbusters as well.

…………to be continued.

A Pit of Vipers

The way I see it in exact terms. Stay with me as I set the scenery and the landscape for all who intend to walk upon it. The United States of America has reached the time of ‘Reformation’. It will take the will of a great man or woman wise enough to know who must be their counsel and wise to heed that counsel. This person must know their flaws aren’t a badge of honor, but a path leading to a continual march toward redemption. America is always, I repeat always under attack! Dare I say there is not one person alive who can say he or she was present at the birth of this country. Therefore, it is required that an oath be sworn to never allow the Sun to set on America by the hand of an enemy ‘Foreign or Domestic’.

Now, what must that leader possess in order to withstand such an onslaught from the North, the South, the East and the West? Good you asked. I suggest that Leader be capable of wielding one or perhaps all three of these attributes. “One, you better be the biggest viper with the strongest venom and immune to the venom of every viper in the pit. Two, your skin better be the toughest to penetrate, but your fangs better penetrate all the other vipers. Three, you better be the one with the quickest reflexes that even a mongoose gives a wide berth and never follows you down a whole.” So, when you find yourself in a pit of vipers always be ready to strike!

Lastly, I will express my dissatisfaction with the way the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General of Virginia have been treated. I’ve seen too many Black citizens be grotesquely mistreated by even the whiff of an accusation. I still now believe as I’ve believed as a Black man all my life. If you have something to accuse someone of doing, please bring it before a court of law. I can’t and won’t give credence to shadowy cries of crimes. Bring it before a system designed to adjudicate these matters and let the system of justice draw a conclusion.

America, it pains me to say this but it must be stated. If a man or a woman has a conscience it will torment them until they redeem themselves. The hateful acts of these men in Black face or those terrorizing people because they’re different while wearing garments identifying such will and should scorch our moral norms. That being said, allow them to walk their “Road to Damascus” and they will show us if they truly repent of their crimes against humanity. There aren’t any throw away people. I’m speaking to all these ‘Christians, Evangelicals’ as they’re called. I mean Saul was killing Christians left and right before God busted his head (figuratively speaking of a serious enough nature to get his attention) while laying out two choices to him from that corrective intervention. Saul changed his name didn’t he? Judge these men by what is true now and not by the apathy of our country’s citizens and the all too familiar history that allowed such behavior to go unchecked.

That Should Put that to Rest?

There shouldn’t be a need for another coach to think and behave as if one mind will always defeat three or more huddled against it. For the life of me it can work in football when you have a quarterback that has refinements borne of fire, pressure and endurance. Yes, I’m speaking of the Eagles and Patriots in SuperBowl 52. You can’t as a coach going forward believe calling offensive plays and being the Head Coach is smart. One job requires your full attention. Does the other job demand the same? Exactly, splitting your attention from one to the other is a disservice to your duty required of the position you hold.

Anyone that lives and breathes the game of football at any level should understand there are limits to what the mind can focus on. For example, Operation Overlord, Normandy, France executed on D-Day June 6, 1944. The Supreme Allied Commander didn’t helm every ship, fly every plane, command every company, platoon or squad. The authority and responsibility was delegated down to capable men and women from the fighters to the healers. The mission was a success because the Supreme Commander could adjust and focus on battle support as the reports came to his attention. Get off this kick about I’m the Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator. Yeah, you’re the Offensive Coordinator alright because you just stunk up the place!

Oh, and by the way. If the NFL teams, and I mean all of them, allow the Patriots to win one game this coming season, they all should wear bags over their heads and not helmets. Ashamed shouldn’t be the word that describes the fear all teams in the NFL have of the Patriots. The Rams, all NFL teams, need a person trained in the Philosophical and Psychological disciplines on staff. I didn’t want to begin my worldwide push to elevate these disciplines and how they are critical to strengthening the mind of the players, but that game displayed how despair could set in when everyone’s not on the same page. Having talent and skill physically pales in comparison to the talent and skill of the mind. The mind is the key!

Seer, Guide, Forther

The terms above are critical as are the descriptions that’ll follow after their definitions. A ‘Seer’ is a being that perceives beyond lineal time. A ‘Seer’ possesses the ability to pull the entire picture of any given situation from the ‘time stream’ and determine whether the matter is good or evil for humanity. This gift allows the ‘Seer’ to determine quickly whether the matter needs to be stalled if evil or allowed to flourish if good. A ‘Seer’ also lays out the past, present, and future. A ‘Seer’ can mentally envision how a matter developed. How it exists presently, to how the matter affects one or more individuals or a society. Determining whether something is wrong and knowing the way to correct it is engrained in a ‘Seer’. A ‘Seer’ is also able to identify other ‘Seers’ and enlist their aid for the good of all. Lastly, a ‘Seer’ doesn’t need, asks for, or encourage others to shower them with thanks. A ‘Seer’ knows what duty means and asking for validation is insulting to the calling.

A ‘Guide’ is a being that has never fought the tutelage they’ve being mandated to bear. A ‘Guide’ knows that instruction is present in every aspect of existence. This allows the ‘Guide’ to grasp abstract concepts such as the ‘metaphorical puzzle pieces’ of life and place them not only where they fit but understanding where and why they fit exactly in place. A ‘Guide’ knows that ‘prosperity and adversity’ are flip sides of the same coin. Proceeding on the right course is the pedigree of a ‘Guide’. Being a ‘Guide’ is knowing the waypoints along the path. Precisely calculating the weight and type of provisions that are needed as the possibility of allies joining the journey is prudent planning. Pace and speed is critical as you don’t want to pass by those wanting to climb onboard. The stopping distance after reaching the destination notifies the welcoming party that your arrival was expected. Therefore a ‘Guide’ is entrusted with the mantle of leadership and this bestowal announces that the ‘Guide’s’ record of achievement is proven by failure and success. Lastly, a ‘Guide’ knows how to teach and pass along the knowledge they’ve wielded so adeptly under pressure.

A ‘Forther’ is an eccentric and uniquely positioned person who’s capable of bringing an idea from the timestream into existence. Dogged by the idea that’s been gifted and pursuing the development of it; a ‘Forther’ feels isolated but determined to fulfill this mandate. When a ‘Forther’ accepts destiny, all that matters from that anchor point is how further along the timestream the work will take before it is materialized. The ‘Forther’ is aware of all the ones who’ve come before. It is the dedication to the lineage and history of the ‘Forther’ and all that exists as a result of their inventions that provides plenty of proof and testament of fact. History is a matter of record and it only occurs after the fact. This is the main admonishment to every ‘Forther’. Alas, therein lies the official edict to the ‘Order of the Forther’. “Never seek glory that is not your own. Never seek to win a contest that is a contest not of your choosing. Always seek to give honor to the team if the destiny required the help of others to achieve. Lastly. Never never do it for the money as glory doesn’t dangle a price tag or coin per se, to the framers of history.”

……….Time in Madness………..

Don’t worry. It is a little unusual to add a blog post to the end of a major portion of a universe I’m creating. Clarity of these events will unfold over a period of time if you’ll stay with me as I bring it forward. First, I must apply a few of these descriptions to the known reality of our times. Undoubtedly, there exists a sweeping band of confusion that looks like a band of locusts flying low and consuming a farmer’s prized crops. This materialization of life or perversion thereof is of our own asking. How so typically goes the inquiry? Well, humanity for the most part believes in an eternal spiritual being that is more or less the source of all life or energy so to speak.

Would we all agree that we don’t choose our parents? In the beginning is a powerful release of energy! Keeping this energy contained and flowing throughout the body as intended means a greater chance for good than we could ever know. What if our beginning is undirected? I’m talking about ‘expectations.’ It is required that my children make all ‘A’s and B’s’ from the close of Kindergarten thru 1^stGrade to the conclusion of the 12^th. What do you think my children will give me? Chances are they will meet my expectations right? The same goes for if I required of them zero achievement. They would meet that expectation as well right? The right upbringing within expected norms of a civilized society brings the greatest chance for success with that child. The opposite approach to the upbringing of that child would fling said child into ‘madness’.

Let’s assume many of us know the scripture that admonishes us to not steer a child in the wrong direction. Human beings are best when they are taught right things, but let’s also accept that we can spend time being taught things that destroy us. Behavior that is shunned such as stealing, lying, cheating, and any activity deemed immoral by a civilized society. Imagine spending even a year under the wrong tutelage. That’s how it starts. Shelter, food, clothing and access to education is difficult to maintain at times even for adults. Imagine these requirements for survival and you’re a child. Yeah, the degree of difficulty makes the vulnerable among us further slide into ‘madness’. Granted, some children have the gift to sort and prioritize their condition to supersede their circumstances. Unfortunately, even they still need many pieces in the events that follow to break their way.

Take failure for instance. Now I’ll pose a question to all followers and occasional readers of ‘Landcause.com’. Has God ever failed? Take as much time as you like and then continue reading…

Luke Chapter 10 verse 18: “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Was this verse written in the Bible or did I somehow pull it from ‘Chaos’ World and falsely insert it into the ‘Holy Bible’? Was this verse written in invisible ink to hide its’ factual relevance? No! America, listen to me clearly now. We all made a mistake putting this man, Donald Trump, as President of the United States. Yes, the analogy, if not of the same magnitude, it is of the same threat.

God made a mistake installing Lucifer, Satan, or whatever you want to call him in charge of teaching his creation, mankind, the methodology he intended for his worship. Did God hide his failure? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Okay. I’ll answer it. No he didn’t. How do you know God didn’t attempt to hide his failure? He placed it prominently in the Bible for all to witness! When God knew Satan refused to be subordinate, he caste him out. Now I’ll speak on why I said subordinate.

Our American society began under horrific injustice, moral decadence, and every depraved thought committed in real time against human beings. What you say, if we started in such darkness what brought us to the light? I’ll tell you. The kind of people, although the list is not all inclusive, I’ve listed above who possessed great moral will and unsoiled integrity. It takes ‘beings’ of great conviction to hold a society responsible for her actions and keep her in check. Yes. We’ve spent a great many years in ‘madness’. The Two Hundred and forty-two years America has existed didn’t occur by luck.

Look, I’m really sorry for what I’m about to say next. Every Federally elected official, appointed Federal Judges, and all agencies of the Federal Government. We need you. It is your duty to ensure the survival of our way of life. Did you not understand the oath of office you swore when you took your station? As God didn’t allow Heaven to be split or torn asunder by someone he gave power and authority to, we cannot allow a man we elected President of the United States to destroy America.

More background in ‘madness’. Let me ask you something. Can a man who’s never tasted hunger in his life really care for anyone who’s hungry? Can a man who’s never tasted failure of his own and had to figure an honest way to recover from it teach the moral concept of integrity? Can a man who’s never defended his country by putting on a uniform (although military service isn’t required to hold the office) ever take responsibility for the awesome power he has to send men and women to their death? Has he shown acceptance (leadership in not passing the buck) for both the good and the bad of his decisions with our fighting men and women?

Chaos? Really? Try running your household for a week in chaos. Drop all planning and just pull every decision out of your ass. No, there’s no vision in the midst of chaos. I’m sorry if you thought that. This is asinine! We’re talking about running just a household on chaos for a week. Imagine going back in history and initiating D-Day in World War II with no planning, just chaos. Right. The sheer massive undertaking of that operation would’ve warranted removal of anybody asserting such ‘crazy talk’.

Lastly, we’ve been in this ‘madness’ almost two years now. Even if this President survives if he is found to have betrayed America which in itself would be on the scale of Satan’s insurrection of God’s Heaven and Earth and God installing him as his right hand. Ah, God’s not you. God doesn’t meander with trifling ilk. God certainly doesn’t care which political party your membership is paid up. Stop looking at tall buildings or go to Greece and view the Pantheon. Go to Italy and view the Coliseum. If history fails to scare you then prepare a tour of all our monuments which befalls a former great society. Stop marveling at your perfectly manicured lawns. Stop chasing women (men) through the halls of Congress and do your job. If you don’t, I’m sure the media would start posing questions to all Americans worded something like ‘who would love to live under the rule of Vladimir Putin and Russian billionaires.’

By the way, since God did reveal his failure and quick action to correct it, why would God’s creation believe they have perfect organizations? Justice is a moral belief we all believe is meted out with integrity of process. America’s arc bends towards fidelity to a defined moral code. Unfortunately, the evidence suggests we still have a long road to travel, but we must get back on course.

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Episode Thirteen: The Road to Damascus

Part One: Those We Love

Prologue:

(This time period should be forever marked by the kidnapping of Mother’s daughter by an old foe. The loss of control and the uncertainty that creeps into Mother’s life for the first time ever. How did this happen you might ask? It happened because Mother was rising fast in the business world and she wasn’t closely guarding the line of vendors, let’s say, or the character of the people she dealt with at the time. One of these men she dealt with was her tormentor, the man that kidnapped her daughter, Mr. Goone. Well no one is immune to the embarrassment of defeat as such a sting is more prominent when it is delivered by a woman. The majority of men, if not the entirety of them, would not be gracious losers in that scenario. Mr. Goone ran in mob circles. He wasn’t the sort of man that liked hearing the word no, or most certainly he didn’t like being upstaged by a woman.

It is a distortion to be sure. A man that isn’t used to a woman getting the best of him, and a woman who isn’t used to dealing with a man of low morals. The dichotomy has now seeped into the fabric of both their ideals of life as it should be. Which version of life would rule the day? Which one of these two people will emerge victorious based on how each chooses to present that life to the world? Who will be true to their convictions or their code?

Let’s back up a minute and revisit how this situation occurred. This dynamic is the result of Mother Sayer’s father, Ableman Sayer, stepping in to help her with Mr. Goone, a small-time henchman for the city of Louisville, Kentucky’s crime boss, Don Se’Stone. The Don and her father were old friends that ran together since they met during the Korean War.

This time her father would not be the one to deal with the Don. If a savior would appear this time, it would be a man whom she highly respected as a skillful commander. A man that supplied fresh motivations because she knew she needed someone that would task her without regard to her pedigree. The Colonel, her commanding officer of the Task Force she reported under. This man didn’t know much about Major Sayer at the time nor did he care if she had a loving family. This Colonel only cared about leading warriors as he was burdened with a humongous lineage in contrast as the Major’s good name was young and recent.

Despite this clash of personalities and demand for respect, something did happen that changed the Colonel’s mind and his heart which gave him new understanding. An understanding that would lead the Colonel, after he got word of the Major’s dilemma, to offer his help as he knew what it would mean to him. It meant the Colonel now had a chance at redemption. He would not squander it.)

Mother Sayer: (Mother rarely deviated from her morning routine. She rose around 6 am every morning. Brushed her teeth and took a brisk shower. Afterwards she would stir the children around 645 to get them going. Neither had to fight for a bathroom as there was one upstairs and one downstairs in addition to the one in her room. In any event, the children would be refreshed from their sleep soon and eating breakfast as Mother’s staff would have a hearty breakfast ready for consumption in the dining room.). Ah, Ntare, how are you this morning?

Ntare Bolder: I am well Mother Sayer. I took the liberty as it is a Wednesday to prepare fresh fruit and light sandwiches in the event you and the little ones need an effective pick-me-up throughout the day.

Mother Sayer: That is very thoughtful. Good, I think today is going to be a great day if I may say so. Children, come and eat. I need to get to work a little early today.

Doyenne: I’m here Mother.

Mother Sayer: Where’s Justus?

Doyenne: Oh, he’s coming. Just what I wanted to get me going. A spread of fruits and a plate of sandwiches which I’m sure has the type of meat I like. (Doy loves turkey, pastrami and cheese on white with a light coating of mayonnaise. Even better if the sandwiches are cut into squares, as they are, for quick packaging and consumption.).

Justus: Yes, just what I need. May I have some of everything Mother?

Mother Sayer: (The arrival of my son is always ‘may I have something to eat’ before he even knows what position or where his Mother is standing in the kitchen.). Yes, Justus, you can have whatever you desire as always as long as you do not waste it.

(The morning at home is now written in history. The drive to the kids’ school uneventful. The arrival at work is the same.).

Mother Sayer: Eloisa, you are looking as confident as ever. How goes things? Are you settled on where you wish to attend college?

Eloisa: Almost Mother. I just have to figure out which one would give me the best chance at attaining all the goals I have in mind.

Mother Sayer: (These conversations are more valuable than all the millions in revenue her company now generates every year. The progress, growth and ability of humanity. The expansion of the mind and the people who support this critical, albeit downplayed and shunned practice for more things that tend to excite people’s emotions. Mother knows that instant gratification is destroying the minds of the young in America. Everything worthwhile to a person’s life takes time and time is what Mother elevates in all things to all her people.). Yes, Eloisa, that is right. Project the story from the end. If you see the choice you will make, then tether and bond it to the fabric of your life, then that college must possess all you require in accomplishing your goal. Not the goals of the college, but the goals you have in mind to propel you forward in life.

Eloisa: So, the college I choose must meet my goals and not the other way around?

Mother Sayer: That’s precisely right. Another thing I must awaken your mind to that’s life giving in the contemplation of it.

Eloisa: Mother, I must confess that I’m not good at philosophy. A lot of things go right over my head. I’m just giving you fair warning.

Mother Sayer: (Mother sees this reaction more often than she receives an objection vocally to her offers of caution to the young. Her council is still needed no matter the resistance to it which is why she compresses her admonitions into short one or two sentences for quick memory recall.). I’ve noticed an engagement ring on your finger. Is it serious?

Eloisa: Yes, Mother I believe it is.

Mother Sayer: I’m happy for you. Remember this if you don’t remember anything else about life and how it should be lived with another adult. “Sex and love, one doesn’t come with the other.”

Eloisa: “Sex and love, one doesn’t come with the other.” What does that mean?

Mother Sayer: It is one of those saying in life that holds within it a truth. That truth must be discovered by each individual that hears it. Don’t ask me how I came by such a truth that at face value seems to be false. Many believe that sex and love are the same thing. They have to go together right? The wisdom that lies within it must be a discovery that unfolds in your mind.

Eloisa: I don’t know about that. That is not what I’ve heard.

Mother Sayer: Ah, so a woman has schooled you on how to please a man. Okay, well what happens after a man is ‘pleased’ if I may word it that way?

Eloisa: He should know where he can come to be treated like he should be treated.

Mother Sayer: Oh, I see, so he knows where to go to get relief. (Mother can see on Eloisa’s face that this comment has finally cracked her shield of confidence in what she was taught. It’s not so pretty to be an ‘object of a man’s desire when that desire is simply a place to empty fluids and satisfy a craving.’

Eloisa: I’m uncomfortable with the direction this conversation is taking.

Mother Sayer: Very well Eloisa. I will leave you with something that may clear up for you what love should mean for humanity in general. Love is interdimensional. Love is expansive. Love is limitless because it is present across great distances. Do you know why? (Mother can see that Eloisa has grown weary of the conversation as many do when their long held given beliefs aren’t scrutinized at first, then sorted through for personal discovery). Many things we believe are found lacking under intense scrutiny Eloisa.

Eloisa: No. What?

Mother Sayer: The conscience. If you don’t reside in his heart, or as I call it the mind, the tether connecting the two of you is nonexistent. The thing, that invisible arc of energy that binds both of you together. That thing that denies all others and resides faithful and yes feeds off the reciprocal energy you both send back and forth to each other.

(Well I should leave it there and continue my daily routine as my business doesn’t run itself, but I must press on until she says no more.).

Eloisa: I, I don’t know what to do with this information you’ve given me.

Mother Sayer: Eloisa, think of what I’ve said to you today as a seed that must be planted. Let it grow within you. Nourish it and it will produce the enlightening fruit of understanding. Teach it by how you behave towards the ones you love and yes, bring your man along slowly or quickly depending on how you judge he’s absorbing what you show him. Okay. Well talk later and have a good day.

Eloisa: (I’ve only talked to Mother a few minutes, but it seems ‘I’ve unbraced and unstrapped a load of bricks and was about to round a curve before hearing her advice.’ Oh, God. Look at me, she’s even got me contemplating like a monk.). Ah, yes yes Mother, have a good day.

Mother Sayer: Listen, everybody wants a good life or prosperity as if it’s a reward for simply being alive. It seems to be a disease of some kind that plagues Americans. “Don’t pick the fruit before you plant the tree.”

Eloisa: I definitely don’t understand that. Can you please tell me what you mean by that?

Mother Sayer: What I mean is that there has to be some signs of growth that the seed you plant, or per se in your case the relationship you want at some point to be beneficial to you both has to be a two-way street. If the roots aren’t grounded, meaning a mutual care for each other, then the roots, love in your case, will never withstand the possibility of being uprooted by the ‘events of life’ you both will face.

Eloisa: By ‘events’ you mean the insertion of other people between the two of us. The intertwining of two lives is a precarious operation without well-meaning friends putting in their two-cents worth. I never believed it would be easy, but I don’t want a hard life either.

Mother Sayer: Well, I think you’ve come a long way for such a short interaction this morning Eloisa. Remember this if you don’t remember anything else I’ve said. “The pace of your learning may be quickened depending on what it devotes to your vitality, but understand you’ll be shaken a bit. Flow through it as it washes over you and when it dries, know that physic learning as far as the mind is concerned only deals in permanent disclosures.” Be well as I won’t detain you any longer.

Eloisa: Good day Mother and thank you for taking the time to spend with me.

Mother Sayer: You’re welcome sweetheart. (Mother feels Eloisa needs a hug as life sometimes requires physical touch to solidify a caring relationship. She touches her face and sees her off to her station before she boards the elevator to her office.).

(The elevator opens on the 3^rdfloor of the office building that houses the day-to-day operations of The ARC Inc. Sarah is standing by with the reports and fresh cut fruits and nuts prepared just the way Mother likes them.).

Mother Sayer: Very good Sarah, the scent of fruits and nuts is a soothing welcome to start the day. Anything unusual or unexpected that’s happened so far this morning that needs my attention?

Sarah W. Certainty: Not a thing Mother.

Mother Sayer: Are the numbers on my desk detailing the history of our household line of products?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: Good. I want to review the current sales and our production quota to see if they line up with our sales goals. Are the products that are in the development phase on my desk as well?

Sarah W. Certainty: No they’re not Mother.

Mother Sayer: Call down to ‘Seed and Root’ and get those for me please.

Sarah W. Certainty: Right away Mother: If you have time, can I run something by you. It’ll take just a second.

Mother Sayer: Sure Sarah, give me just a second to change the PH level of my taste buds and I’ll be right with you.

(Mother carries a cup of hot tea out to Sarah’s desk. She knows it’s fine because no one occupies the inner office but the two of them.).

Mother Sayer: What’s on your mind Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: First I want to say that I’ve enjoyed your guidance and nurturing these past two years I’ve been here. The time you’ve taken to help me sort out my life now and the things I’ve witnessed growing up has strengthened me beyond anything I could’ve known I could be. I’ve seen other people in passing and often wondered how they seem content with their lives.

Mother Sayer: It has been my pleasure as well to have an advent listener. Your presence has taught me many things as well Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: Very well Mother. I want to notably focus on what you’ve done with me as it concerns my parents. I was conflicted about why I was born into such a dangerous life for the longest time. Don’t get me wrong. I love my parents. Well I should say; I’ve forced myself to believe my parents loved me. In the most stressful, neglectful, lack of nurturing times I knew was swirling around them and completely unsure of which situation would show for me. It never was the comforting one of those possible traits I needed the most.

That set me on a path to look at my situation, but not be consumed by it. No matter what was going on around me to always be thinking and learning. Never did I wish I was somewhere else. Don’t get me wrong.

Mother Sayer: (This young lady is more impressive that my initial assessment led me to believe. Even in the two plus years she’s been my responsibility; I would’ve never imagined she knew of embracing her environment instead of attempting to flee it as the first option would be more advantageous for her. Incredible!). Good Sarah, continue.

Sarah W. Certainty: I knew my parents would come out on top of whatever the challenge that faced them. They stuck together. My mom knew her role and my father embraced his. They never gave the other any trouble. When my father needed someone who didn’t judge him, my mother was always there. When my mother needed someone to tell her she was pretty and a good mother, my father did it with gusto.

My understanding was complete about the two of them when I witnessed their love for each other. It wasn’t a love that lacked accountability. It was a love that established what was valuable and preserved it as a jeweler would a precious stone. Then they decided to broaden my experience of life by giving me to you because my father knew your father for decades.

Mother Sayer: Yes I know.

Sarah W. Certainty: I wouldn’t change my life now for anything in the world. I was shown favor by God because he gave me a strong mind and I didn’t disappoint the ‘Trinity’ God by showing it was too much for me to handle.

Mother Sayer: Definitely Sarah. That is correct. You are a strong woman as evidenced by your ability to withstand all the ‘physic shocks’ to your mind at an early age before you were able to process them appropriately. However, you’ve shown a gift of mental strength that defies age itself. It is good to show that you were ready no matter what your age.

Let me say this in your honor as well. “Physic shocks are common to all of humanity.” They can foster new abilities or hasten mental uncertainty when they arrive too early, too late or not at all.

Sarah W. Certainty: Exactly! I picked up on that about you. Mental strength is a major part of what you’re about and feeding that point has made your company very successful. You’ve shown me it’s not a separate part of your life, but it’s a major component of your life that works with every other part of your life.

Mother Sayer: Did you pick all that up just by watching me?

Sarah W. Certainty: Let’s just say my list of questions have nearly all been answered now.

Mother Sayer: Only a few left before the exam is complete?

Sarah W. Certainty: A few left before the exam is complete. I hope I don’t run out of time.

Mother Sayer: Not a chance my dear. Not a chance.

—————- 1^stInterlude —————

(The afternoon turns into early evening and the day’s business is flowing well as The ARC is functioning as it should.).

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother, it’s you Head of Staff at your house on line one, N’tare Bolder.

Mother Sayer: Thank you Sarah. N’tare how are you. What’s up?

N’tare Bolder: Doyenne wasn’t at school when your driver went to pick her up. I don’t know where she is. Did she say she would sleep over someone’s house tonight?

Mother Sayer: I don’t think so, she didn’t ask my permission. Let me call her to find out where she’s at. Thanks for calling me.

N’tare Bolder: Governess, I await your guidance. Until then. Good evening.

(There is a certain sense of unease. An unease that Se’May only feels when the danger is real. The vibe in the air surrounds her and starts layering the truth on what she knows is wrong. Doy is in trouble.)

Mother Sayer: (Suddenly her phone rings and she knows it’s her daughter. Her daughter doesn’t answer the phone. That voice, she races through her memories like a speed reader mesmerizing an attentive audience. It can’t be him, but she knows her upbringing is sure. Her military training as was her leadership structure, was superior to all the commands her peers served under was sure. Her learning curve and the organization she’s built to include her ARC Council, subjected her to continuous pressure to compress the time she needed to move with confidence in the rough and tumble arena of business. The voice on the phone belongs to Laine Goone.). If you harm my daughter, I will kill you.

Laine Goone: Ha Ha. Is that any way to speak to an old business partner.

Mother Sayer: (Se’May is extremely disappointed in her opening statement, but she knows the disclosure is permanent and signifies how angry she is. She quickly regains her bearing and demands why he has taken her daughter.). Mr. Goone, may I ask what are doing with my daughter? Why have you taken my child?

Laine Goone: We’ll get to that soon enough. Let’s talk about how you’re going to pay me back the money you owe me.

Mother Sayer: Money I owe you? I owe you money? I remember you took money from me and didn’t exchange it for the raw supplies you promised. How am I to blame for what Don Se’Stone did to you?

Laine Goone: You stupid bitch! That’s not how it works. I’m a criminal. Are you saying you don’t understand that? Fuck all this shit. You want your daughter back, right? You will pay me The $50,000 you owe me, plus $250,000 for the embarrassment you brought me in the face of my boss.

Mother Sayer: I’ll pay you what? I’m sorry you were disciplined by your boss, but that’s not my problem.

Laine Goone: Oh, but I’ve made it your problem. Yes or no?

Mother Sayer: Yes or no what? You want me to pay you $300,000 for an apparent offense you claim to have suffered?

Laine Goone: Pay the money or you’ll never see your daughter again.

Mother Sayer: Okay, now we’re getting somewhere. If I don’t pay you the money you think I owe you, you’ll kill my daughter is that it?

Laine Goone: And they say you people are dumb.

Mother Sayer: (This would be comical if it didn’t involve my daughter. Men. I’ll keep him thinking he has the upper hand for now. I’ve got to find a way to get my daughter back without paying this fool my money.). I want my daughter back right now or I’ll call the police.

Laine Goone: By the time the police get a whiff of my scent I won’t be in this country. Call them all you want. You better start getting my money together. I won’t wait on you forever.

Mother Sayer: Okay okay. I’ll get the money together. Just give me some idea when you want it?

Laine Goone: I’ll let you know bitch. (Click).

(Mother let’s her people know that her daughter’s been taken from her by an old enemy. What she doesn’t know is that a former soldier of hers that works in her truck repair business has been in constant contact with a certain commander from her past. Son Skyy has made the call and Mother will have to deal with the clash of personalities again.).

——————2^ndInterlude——————

(In Tel Aviv, Israel, a vibrant, purposeful and driven city that’s alive with the joy of humanity. Where there is more togetherness than division. One company has burdened itself with the task of bringing home, in a manner, all the tribes and pockets of Jewish hereditary who’ve remained from their ancestors all over the world.

The Jews of China, Europe, and Africa. Many other places of the world that nomadic Jews sought to build a life for themselves while maintaining centuries old traditions of love for family and prowess in battle. The company is called: 3 FOLD-C. Its offices are staffed by personnel whose beliefs tend to bend toward the most valiant of behaviors. All parts of an automobile serve to propel it to its destination. The administration of justice is sacred and not to be ranked by order of precedence. That is the point. The custody of humanity is everyone’s solemn responsibility. The conduct of it seems to be in the hands of people focused more on power and pleasure than justice and equitable treatment no matter the person before you. Yeah, it seems as if its’ been left to impetuous children to manage.

Therefore, HAMSA, our code, must be without question and all who’re allowed membership must be vetted continuously throughout their association with the company. The internal disciplinary apparatus must be as stringent as the rule shown to us by the Gods themselves in casting out the one betrayer amongst the first twelve apostles. ‘It is impossible to achieve justice by acting unjustly. It is blasphemous to believe that honor can be obtained by acting dishonorably’.).

——————-3^rdInterlude———————

Son Skyy: (Skyy is thinking as he sits at the desk staring at the phone in the truck stop office. He knows what promise he gave to the Major’s superior officer before they both left the service to start a new life working together in Kentucky. “If she needs anything, any trouble comes her way you call me. Understood.”). May I speak to Colonel Tholodious Badon Sennfphoru?

(At the company offices in Tel Aviv, Israel, the call comes into the switchboard and the handlers verify the caller’s codes (name and information provided by all executive staff of family and friends) and sends it to administration to prepare a report to present to the recipient of the call. The General is at his desk now after being grilled by the ‘HAMSA JUDGES’ about the actions taken by his team on their last mission.

General Sennfphoru: Good morning Mc’Butress, what do you have for me.

Mc’Butress: Only one report matched to the file created after you returned home. It’s a simple case involving the kidnapping of a woman’s daughter.

General Sennfphoru: (After reading down the paper and seeing the name he stops. The General closes his eyes. When he opens them again, he slowly stands and looks out the window.). Mc’, prepare my transport. All protocols are in effect. This mission is personal.

Mc’Butress: (One of those precious requests granted only to the executive council.). May I ask who this woman is to you? What is her name? Where are we going?

General Sennfphoru: The association is tied to the American Army. She is, an old subordinate I commanded when I led a Task Force in Iraq. Her name, is Major Sayer. We’re going to Louisville, Kentucky.

…to be continued

An Apostle? A Bishop? A President

An Apostle? A Bishop? A President?

I’ll get right to the point. Tell me, is there a Book of the Bible called ‘The Gospel According to Judas Iscariot’? Take your time now. Go ahead. Flip back the cover of your Bible to the table of contents. Go to each book and read who’s the author. I’ll wait a few more minutes. Okay. Could you find one? Don’t tell me it’s not there. Look again and be sure with your search because the point I’m about to make depends on it. No. No good fortune in finding a book of the Bible called ‘The Gospel According to Judas Iscariot’. Weird huh (Sarcasm).

I will continue combing through the Archives of history to highlight another valuable office. Are there text, verses, or requirements to be sure that describe what a person must possess or be as a living representative in striving to obtain the office of a Bishop? Here’s a part of the text taken from The King James Version. 1 Timothy, Chapter 3, verse 5…(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?). I suggest reading the rest of the chapter because there is more there there.

Now the big kahuna. The Office of the President of the United States. Why was the office created by the framers of the U.S. Constitution? Did they believe the office would become greater than the men who occupied the position? Would they accept the degrading of the Presidency by men who display a sheer lack of respect for the office? Could the framers envision the fact that millions of citizens would love the Presidency so much that they would truly believe the person occupying it can’t do it any harm? Somehow believing it’s possible to detach the holder of said office from the office itself?

All three examples are proof that established positions of great respect and importance can’t be allowed to descend into debasement, atrophy and decay. There was only one instance in recorded history about an Apostle defiling the office he held. Judas Iscariot afterwards was wiped clean from the face of history, wasn’t he? None of us are God, but I sure wouldn’t want to hold an office of such enormous influence and power and spit it back in his face. The thought of that punishment is too terrible to put into words. The Bishop is highly spoken of as well. Would it be forever tarnished if a holder of said office defiled it? No, it would not. The same is to be said of the President of the United States. The office is the whole idea.

The office of the Presidency owes nothing to no man that occupies it! Don’t confuse the pageantry and honor the office has earned for more than 2 centuries with the person that sits in the chair of the President. If the times were changed, there would be people who would still be supportive of Judas Iscariot. Yes, there would be people who would vote for Judas Iscariot to remain an Apostle even after he betrayed Jesus Christ! Just get over it. There are Christians, it’s questionable if these Christians even understand what they call themselves, who would vote for Satan because they have abdicated their responsibility to their fellow man to know whom they support.

Don’t run around the world thinking you’re not responsible for the people your vote helped to win office. If the world is on fire, it’s not your fault, right? There are people (to include voters) constantly releasing negative energy into the nexus. What will you release? Don’t disconnect the sacred and solemn duty in assuming an office from the office holder’s responsibility to not disgrace the office. Do your job voters. If you don’t, you will answer as all Christians, Jews, Muslims and whatever faith you follow. Use your speaking spirit for something more than just “it’s not my fault whatever happens. All I did was vote. I’m not responsible for what happens after that.” Sure.

Oh, and by the way, let’s lament the forgotten and powerful titles and central offices of governmental power that ran countries and kingdoms into diminished standing through the ages. Emperor. The Khan’s. Can anyone point to a Caesar in 2018? Were these titles and designations discarded because they were no longer needed, or were they destroyed (along with the country) by the behavior of the person occupying the seat of power egged on by the apathy of the citizenry? Another thing, don’t even try to say God picked the wrong Apostle. Maybe God let it play out to teach us all the lesson that, “There aren’t any organizations, any, that are 100% perfect. It includes governmental, Federal and State, to businesses and homes, families and tribes, churches of all faiths, that are immune to evil people hiding in their ranks.” Humanity has got to get better, and the first step is to stop believing right comes out of supporting what’s wrong.

A Help Meet? A Guide? The Rib?

I can say honestly I’ve avoided this troublesome topic. The subject matter is quite distressing. In truth, I’ve found the discussion about the status of women vexing, as men have manipulated it throughout the ages to the point that women are now believing their standing to be ‘subservient’ to men. Let me inform my followers of what response I’ve always given when I was in the Army to soldiers who said their company was a piece of crap (in substitution for the other word). Quote, “I’m in this company too, I can’t agree with that statement because I would be saying I’m also a piece of crap, and I’m definitely not a piece of crap.” Let’s begin.

A Help Meet? “Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 18…And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” Stop. Let’s define the word ‘help’. Help is defined as rendering assistance to, joining in completing a task or continuously aiding another to complete goals or objectives. That was my own definition, but as you can see a helping hand, so to speak, is critical to accomplishing anything worthwhile. Would you think of someone multiplying your efforts to reach a goal subservient? Therefore, a help meet is not a tool to help you turn a screw and put away on a shelf to retrieve again when needed is it? Moving on.

A Guide? “1 Timothy, Chapter 5, verse 14…I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” A guide is defined as anything whether it’s a person, place or thing that leads, directs or serves as a roadmap from the place you are to the place you want to find. “He needed a guide from Cyprus to Haiti, so he hired a ship and crew to speed him there.” Now, don’t you think a guide is an important resource to possess when searching for something? If you’re looking to hire a guide, shouldn’t that person know the way to the place you desire to be? You don’t have to believe the words you’re reading. Go board a plane destined from Cincinnati to Kuala Lumpur and ask the pilot if he or she knows the route to get there. When the plane has left the ground, will it be pointed in the right direction. The right altitude, speed and latest data about the corridor it will pass through to include weather updates. Storms do arise unexpectedly huh?

The Rib? “Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 22…And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” What a surprise and here I was thinking from all the confusion that a woman was made from everything but a man. See, this is what happens when we begin to lower the status of women in relationship to men. As I’ll stated earlier in this post, if I am part of a company, partner, or a branch on a tree, why on Earth would I downgrade my status as part of a whole? Women you can stop the foolishness now! God didn’t make you subservient to the man. You are not relieved of your awesome responsibility whether you are single or married. “Well, he’s the husband and all I have to do is stop at the bear children part and I’m home free.” Alrighty then, to the men and women who didn’t like what you read up top; you should stop reading at this point because it gets ugly from here.

In conclusion. Get your head out your ‘four points of contact’. Any woman who’s bought into the thinking that all decisions in the house are to made by the man are as foolish as the man that believes it. Why would anyone want to be thought of only for bearing children or sexual relief and scorned when the troublesome periods strike the home? Who always gets the blame at this point? The woman because she didn’t speak up right? Here’s the popular refrain, “well you’re the man isn’t that what you said.” Women, it must be nice to not feel any pressure (if this post applies to you) to insure the ‘guide’ portion of your job is not usurped by the man. You’re still not off the hook because the success or the failure of your household is shared by the both of you. Don’t misunderstand me, the head of the household rule is applied if the both of you can’t agree on something and a decision must be made. The man must then bear the brunt of the call, but the woman can do all she can to limit the damage, or better yet, highlight the fortunate turn of events.

Women, if you believe you are inferior to men; then you must also conclude that men are from inferior stock as well because women were grafted from the man and nothing else. I can’t pluck an orange from the orange tree and turn around and say it tastes good because my hand grabbed it the right way. No. I took it from the orange tree and it taste good because of the goodness of the orange tree. Quit separating yourselves from the truth. Women do you hear me? Accept your lineage and operate (in a marital setting) as part of one flesh. Didn’t think I would finish with that crucial point did you?

An Irregular Heartbeat

I’ve waited long enough to speak about two things that’ve been weighting on my heart. The descent of America into the ‘church of chaos’ and the propagation of Stand Your Ground Laws which seems to lure us away from reaching our eventual state of the ‘goodness’ of humankind. How did we get here you ask? Well let’s start with the easy ones. When humans possess power that’s passed down through generations, they tend to believe that power will always be in the form they recognize. As the arc of time publishes an impending list of changes, the majority race in power tends to foolishly stand underneath that arc as it races across the sky heading for a ground impact that will shake the entirety of all life. Yes, believe it or not, some in the majority race will attempt to divert, delay, or blunt that landing. I laugh about it too, so go ahead. It’s funny. Change can’t be stopped.

How has change impacted humanity? We no longer ride horses to work in mass quantities because we ride in motorized transports. Our water comes out of the tap instead of a bucket drawn from a deep hole in the ground. We can communicate and pass knowledge across vast oceans with devices unimaginable before the invention of the computer. New industries are pulled from under the forger’s anvil and shaped into life enhancing products on a regular basis. Tell me then, why do people still believe (falsely) that they have the power to halt that gigantic arc of crackling, electrical change that has never failed to complete its course?

This current ‘church of chaos’ slithering its way across America, like a snake lying in the Sun, will crawl back in their holes soon enough. Yes, you are right if you saw those Black preachers, one sat there and said this President is a friend to Black people or people that don’t look like him is the height of heresy. His congregation deserve him if they didn’t scold his butt when he returned to church. News flash, members of the clergy, you don’t get to point to anybody and bestow remission of sins because it’s an individual’s responsibility to repent! Does anybody remember reading Saul on the ‘Road to Damascus’? Anybody?

The heart must pump at a normal rhythm or the body becomes distressed. Listen, I embrace change. Do you think I want to still be living in the projects at middle age? I must know my efforts are going to improve my life and by extension the lives of all humanity. After 400 plus years and 200 plus as a nation, the evidence all points in one direction. America has set a course for the betterment of humanity. Anyone that believes we can still go back to the dark days of our birth are delusional along with all those foolish enough to believe that crap. Who in the hell takes children away from their mothers and calls it deterrence? Who tells coal miners their jobs will be coming back knowing we need to take better care for the planet? Who starts a trade war with sovereign countries under the false belief they would capitulate? Listen to me now, either you take solace and safety in the principles that dictate sound governance of business and civility of discourse, or fall for the ‘snakes sunning themselves’ because sooner or later they are going to crawl back in their holes.

Stand your ground. Boy, I’ve honestly racked my brain for years compiling all the instances where lives were taken and this law invoked as the reason behind these killings. Back up, first let’s figure out the pressing human need that justified the creation of these laws. Were there innocent people being killed in significant numbers? Was it because of a plague of human deterioration these laws needed to address? What did Stand Your Ground laws seek to remedy? I can’t put my finger on it either. I’m reluctantly forced to conclude that the catalyst for these laws must lie in the motivations or life experiences of the legislators that put them forward. Assuming these are more than likely males, I wonder, were they abused as children? Were they bullied on the playground at school? Could it be they suffer from inadequacies in areas of their lives as men? Maybe they were always picked last for games that involved playing with balls!

When I was growing up, we settled disagreements with words and if necessary a fistfight. Now we have authorization to settle disputes with weapons. Tell me how that gets humanity to its higher form? Okay, let me lay out what most people want from other people in this world. They want to see the good in people consistently displayed because everybody watches everybody and trust me they know who represents their values. So, figure out what you want to do and follow that path. I hope it’s the right path as I will always live and die for humanity’s higher aspirations.

P.S. Forgive my unkindness in that I didn’t track with my readers where this information was gleaned and expounded upon.

:The Holy Bible: King James Version: Proverbs Chapter 28 verse 4. They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Galatians Chapter 4 verse 16. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Remember these words carefully and your growth will not be stunted. No one gets a pass because you’re only concerned with the needs of your household. Take a look at an historical map of the world during the time of ‘Roman’ Catholicism. Know this, did the citizenry under Roman rule feel their leaders govern with integrity or a strict moral code? Yeah, if they did the Roman empire would be ruling today, but the Caesars didn’t have any written rules to follow. The Caesars governed by whatever popped into their minds and frankly what came out was decadence spawned power driven insanity laced with enough fools feeding and egging on their madness.

Also, America is not immune to the same fate as the Romans, Ancient Greece, The Persians, and many more great societies that we discuss from what was saved of the history of this world. Who knows what else existed and how they destroyed themselves? Just a thought.

Episode Twelve: When The Shadows Disappear

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Episode Twelve: When The Shadows Disappear

Prologue:

(It seems as if the days and even the nights are a bit brighter. Mother Sayer is wondering now about the many days of success and failure. The solutions that seemingly appeared from nowhere. All the words that flowed out of her mouth in the right context and the right tone. How, she wonders, did all these events appear like rungs on a ladder. Rungs that I suddenly could grasp for dear life to stop a fall. Rungs she could take hold on to save herself?

It also seems as if I am not so crowded or buffeted about as I walk along on my journey throughout the path in life I’ve chosen. This feeling, this influx of information must be explained. “I feel free of internal and external weights and measures as if the things that were lining up to make me stumble, change course, or cease my efforts have suddenly fell silent in defeat.” A lot of those barriers, or constructs that have taken human form in my mind, prevailing over my desires many a day. Hours upon hours did I wrestle with my adversaries to connect even the simplest pieces of my plans.

My Father, she thinks, taught me much about the way to handle adversaries and adversity in real life. He also said, “I can’t teach you everything Se’May. I am not God. The rest of the way you will have to beat a path for yourself. All you have to do is decide on a direction and go.” I wonder if he wrestled with internal foes as much as I did).

Mother Sayer: (Mother arrives at the office in downtown Louisville, Kentucky on a crisp and breezy August morning. The traffic wasn’t so bad she thinks, but it’s relative to the activity that this city produces. She knows the more traffic there is the more business, and with the traffic comes more opportunity for everyone in this city to find their niche). Sarah? Do you have the reports covering all the projects that have passed from planning to initial implementation on my desk?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother, they are laid out from most promising to needs attention.

Mother Sayer: Just the way I like them. Thank you, Sarah. As organized as you can be, as always.

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother, may I speak to you about something?

Mother Sayer: Sure Sarah, yes, yes of course. Come in and sit, I’ll have us brought up some hot beverages as I’m looking to let things soak in for a while this morning. It may last throughout the afternoon.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good, Mother. I may be a minute. I’d like to sort through some things if you will be so kind as to indulge me for a while.

Mother Sayer: (As the hot cocoa and coffee arrives, Mother and Sarah immediately begin to decipher the meanings of these newly ‘recovered’ feelings of strength, will power, or just good ole plain ‘promises released’ into their lives to be achieved). I’ve had this feeling of being revved up, like an engine getting an octane boost.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve had the same feeling for quite a while. Since I met you; I’ve had a chance to perform a review of the years I was being raised by my parents. All the activities I was shielded from and told when I asked about them, not to ask to about them. I still observed many things and sought to understand them with the tools in my possession as best I could. The early years of my life when my mother would quickly shield the ‘aftermath’ of my father’s business dealings from my view. The injuries my father received that my mother mended were the worse.

She would. I’ll rephrase. Anytime she knew my father was going to collect money for his boss, Don Stonehand, her plan to keep my innocence as a child intact as long as possible, and she did. I really didn’t start to grasp the enormity of my surroundings until I was twelve years old. That’s when we moved to a bigger home, and my father started having bodyguards. The benefit of ‘money up or status up’ in the underworld.

Mother Sayer: Wait. You didn’t see anything as a child? No violence at all?

Sarah W. Certainty: None. My mother was ‘strategic’ and better yet she was ‘anticipatory’ about instances when it could occur in order to follow her plan for me precisely. She had a vision of what she wanted for her daughter, and my father never interfered with her wishes.

Mother Sayer: Until you turned twelve that is.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother. There was no way to keep my exposure to it at a minimum forever, so she established rules around the house, new rules I should say. We still ate as a family. I spent plenty of time with my father. All of us did things together. We saw live shows, movies, and I even had parts in my school plays. Whose father shows up at school plays with bodyguards? (Sarah chuckles a little).

Mother Sayer: All the while, you were gradually introduced to the life your father was leading.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes, I was. My parents despised lying to each other. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. I can’t answer the question of whether my father had mistresses like all the criminal heads.

Mother Sayer: Then the matter is settled as it is not for you to worry about. I’ve been apart from my husband for a few years. His job is somewhat like your father’s. He has to make decisions that that if he didn’t would blow his cover. I’m not a hopeless romantic and I’m certainly not ‘momma’s girl’ who’s unaware of the world she lives in.

Sarah W. Certainty: (Sarah laughs as she eyes the evidence of Mother’s words on her appearance. The acceptance of forging a path alone. The turning of solitude into raising children alone. The servitude to her business. Being a leader that ‘crackles’ with the vision that everybody experiences daily through the energy and successful direction of her company’s activity. Everyone that works here knows they better get a good grip and hold tight if you want to work here). You are certainly not a ‘momma’s girl. Being a part of the creative environment here is enough for anyone wishing to have a hand in the success of The ARC Incorporated. Now the first folder on the stack is about the ‘PLAYBOY’.

Mother Sayer: Ah yes, the ‘PLAYBOY’. It looks like the U.S. Patents office has given us a patent pending stamp of approval. Hmm, it also seems that our sales team is doing a great job marketing the device to every airline in the world. Good. I’ll just make a note here to have their teams to always connect the device to real world experiences at all times. In other words, connect it to lives at all times.

Sarah W. Certainty: If they see how it fits into the daily grind of air transportation and unfortunately, casualty notification, the ‘PLAYBOY’ will be accepted more and more.

Mother Sayer: (Mother just gives a nod as the ‘PLAYBOY’ is a momentous leap in not only the casualty recovery of passengers on a plane, but the tracking and immediate ability to launch search missions making a vital improvement forward). Good, and let’s see what’s next.

The tracking software that targeted the Asian market is taking hold with law enforcement now. It would seem that incident location feature on the app has taken off. The APP, make a note Sarah, we have to give it a name, has augmented law enforcement’s ability to arrive on scene precisely where the disturbance is.

Sarah W. Certainty: How about ‘FOUND U?’

Mother Sayer: I must stress to the team that when an incident occurs; the notification goes out to everyone in the vicinity in order to give them a chance to decide what decisions to make regarding their safety.

Sarah W. Certainty: Of course Mother. Even the men and women that wear the uniform of law enforcement are human. They all do not possess the same high level of professionalism. Loss of life is what this APP seeks to prevent.

Mother Sayer: That is correct Sarah. If I can save one family from having to feel the stinging, burning shock of an unjust and untimely death. I will have completed my mission with the ‘FOUND U’ APP. Understand me, I am not justifying the killing of any human being. Whether it is law enforcement, civilian or military. An answer should be given and recorded about all loss of life. No one should be excluded from answering for their actions.

Now, I want to share some notices, per se, I’ve received. It may be nothing. I could just be wanting these feelings I’ve been having about my life to mean more than they ought to.

Sarah W. Certainty: Not at all Mother, tell me.

Mother Sayer: I get the sense that I’ve lost a lot of shadows.

Sarah W. Certainty: Shadows?

Mother Sayer: When I realized my good fortune early in my childhood. My mother marrying the man, my stepfather, who became my blood father by the love he showed to me, was all ordained from what I could grasp at the time. I can’t believe that my father, Mister Abelman Sayer, did not realize the weight of the decision he was making.

He was marrying a woman that had children from another man. Yeah, all the ‘how’s your wife and my kids’ jokes were captured by his ears. All the forewarnings and all the well-meaning advise sought to deter him from his decision. My father didn’t dismiss the counsel he received out of hand. He merely contemplated it for over a year after he met my mother. He proposed to her a year after they met. The wedding date was set about six months later in the summer. The day after Independence Day.

Sarah W. Certainty: Wait Mother, tell me more about why its’ such a dreadful thing to marry a woman with children?

Mother Sayer: It is dreadful because a woman rarely allows a man, a good man at that, my father, to exert authority over her children. Don’t get me wrong when I say this, but some women lack the intellectual insight, the ‘intellectual application’ to know when the man they possess, the good man they married, must be allowed to teach ‘their’ children. Some women still hold onto the fallacious belief that the man they married doesn’t have the right to lead her children. She may submit to his leadership as his wife, but she won’t share her authority and allow the covering to shield her children as well.

I mean this for the children no matter what sex they are. Male or female, the mother has to allow the ‘good man’ the authority to help raise the children from a good man’s point of view. The Father and the Mother must be unified in this task, or the children will succumb to dark influences to pit the parents against each other.

Sarah W. Certainty: Friction.

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah, have you encountered some as you are out and about?

Sarah W. Certainty: I don’t know, but I have from time to time seen some things that, with couples, that didn’t look like let’s say ‘family love.’

Mother Sayer: Family love? I’ve noticed Ulsani Tonelli and Jayce Collark passing by looking through the office glass. Since I know they’re not looking at me, I’ve wondered which one do you prefer?

Sarah W. Certainty: (Oh course, Mother misses nothing. The Italian or the Black guy is the question of the day. I have to sense that it isn’t a coincidence that an eligible Italian man was hired by Mother, or an intelligent Black man with the right schooling and background was brought on board in the front office. I’m sure my parents had something to do with the Italian. Anyway.). I’ve went out separately with them bought, but I do prefer the Italian.

Mother Sayer: I thought so. I’m glad for you, but I will talk to you about widening your choices at a later time. I want to go back to you saying that you’ve observed the behavior of couples when you’re out and about. Have you observed the dynamics of race in the myriad of human interactions you see every day?

Sarah W. Certainty: Honestly, not so much.

Mother Sayer: Could it be because you have the “Golden Ticket”?

Sarah W. Certainty: The ‘Golden Ticket’?

Mother Sayer: I’ll say this and then we’ll get back to the topic of ‘shadows’. It signifies a freedom and unfettered ability to move about in American Society absent the restraints ‘seen and unseen’ that people of other races can’t refuse to ignore.

Sarah W. Certainty: Restraints?

Mother Sayer: Hold that thought and from this point forward vow to observe things more closely in the future Sarah. Allow your mind to receive the data that’s sent like ‘carrier waves’ from every human being ‘like the unseen wind, but is caught by your senses and analyzed by your brain.’

Sarah W. Certainty: (God, and I don’t say it often. God, I am glad my Mother gave me to this woman). So, I should learn to see not just with my eyes, but with all my senses?

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah, learn to interpret the world around you. Like you processed your place in your Father and Mother’s home. How you learned to gather information without it being expressed to you. Remember how powerful it felt to know things about your surroundings that no one told you. Just as you’ve learned to anticipate my wants and needs as I have embraced you like my daughter.

Sarah W. Certainty: You are right Mother. I did discover a lot of things about my parents because I paid attention to their actions and interactions. The gravity or weight in the room how it changed when things were serious or playful. I did feel a sense that finding things out for myself gave me more confidence than if things were just told me.

Mother Sayer: (She wants to quickly express two words, one compound and one singular, but she keeps her composure). That’s right Sarah. I’ve always suspected that you’ve kept a lot of say ‘incidents’ stored in your mind for later when you could find someone who could help you decipher or interpret them.

Sarah W. Certainty: Is it that obvious?

Mother Sayer: It is to someone who was raised correctly to utilize all her talents. No, not everyone picks up non-verbal clues. Getting back to the point of ‘shadows’ I mentioned earlier. I’ve gotten a lot accomplished in the 12 years I’ve started this company. Although that’s a nice record, I can’t help wondering about what I’ve allowed to tag along with me on my journey. Like an uninvited guest at a house party.

Sarah W. Certainty: Like something along for the ride that didn’t buy a full price ticket.

Mother Sayer: Correct. I want to bounce some things off you. Tell me what you think. (Mother doesn’t have to say to Sarah tell me the truth. Sarah already knows the ‘ROCK’ that Mother has built her life and her business is the ‘The Rock of Truth’).

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m ready.

Mother Sayer: I’ll start with the smaller shadows I’ve already gotten rid of. The shadow of ‘raising the children alone’. For a few years, I’ve waited for Zar to come home more often from his work, but I gave up on it after the children turned 5 and 6. It was like a new presence had formed while I was transfixed with the singularity of parenthood. It got so bad that I found myself counting days like an inmate awaiting parole or release from prison.

Sarah W. Certainty: It became a purpose that was feeding on you like a leech?

Mother Sayer: Yes, yes it was. When I finally accepted the fact that I had to do it alone, the energy that was being sapped returned to me like a jolt. Like I shedded an overcoat in the middle of summer. Another ‘shadow’ that seemed to plague me was taking money from my Father to start my enterprise.

Sarah W. Certainty: What was wrong with taking money from your Father? Don’t people go to banks or credit unions or frankly loan sharks to get money to start a business or whatever? Why would taking money from your Father be shameful or less noble? You took it from somebody that believed in you. What could be better?

Mother Sayer: (Mother listened to all the points Sarah made and she determined that they are all valid). Thank you, Sarah. I came to the same conclusion and shook off that ‘shadow’ rather quickly. Then there is the ‘shadow’ that a woman running a business is not to be taken seriously or the venture wouldn’t last long anyway. God forbid that race is a failing factor especially for women.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, yeah. I forgot that one. We still live in the South. Although I would certainly like to hear how it is done. How do you do it as a Black woman in the South?

Mother Sayer: First, let me say I’ve learned quite a lot about how my dad managed to do what he did in running a business so long. I thank your father for the friendship they had for each other. Now Sarah, I’ve never explained how I forged ahead in my own right, but my father prepared me in ways that I can only relate it to one part of our society. The Olympics. My training was relentless and constant. Don’t forget now that this was in addition to my growing years and excelling in K thru 12.

Sarah W. Certainty: He brought you along the way by increasing your capacity for growth which I assumed was targeted more mental than physical.

Mother Sayer: Exactly! (Easy easy, Mother says to herself mentally. It is not unusual to speak with someone of high intelligence. You do it all the time because that is a requirement to work at the ARC Incorporated.). Everything you learn isn’t squeezed into a small intellect. Everything you learn is inserted which causes your intellect to expand in abilities which enables your capacity for growth to increase.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, you know I have to ask this as I’ve felt a little resentment towards my dad. Did you rebel against him at any point? This constant rate of teaching had to elicit a rebellious response at some point.

Mother Sayer: Insight. Analysis. Deductive reasoning. Directed conclusion. I must say Sarah, you are an asset to me. Total rebellion at any point with my father? No. I of course had skirmishes, but they were mainly with my refusal to accept my life for what it was. My father didn’t ease up on the things he thought I needed to know, so I finally resigned myself to that fact and got on with it. I don’t think he cared whether I was female either. It probably energized him more towards his goal of making me competent in my gifts and discerning in applying them to my life and thus create the world I desired.

Sarah W. Certainty: Please tell me more.

Mother Sayer: I want to preempt the nature of sour relationships with men for you first. Sometimes women and men don’t understand the full meaning of the saying, you learn and thus become more like who you’re with in a relationship. For instance, if a woman is with a man and he is unable to keep a job. If he is unable to keep a roof over their heads, and he is incapable of performing the tasks that are widely accepted for a man to perform eventually ends up affecting your beliefs of what a man’s role is in a relationship.

Sarah W. Certainty: The more you forgive him something the more it becomes the norm he won’t strive to fulfill his responsibilities.

Mother Sayer: Exactly. Just because you show understanding doesn’t mean the things you forgive him for not doing make those requirements unnecessary to sustain a dignified life. Providing shelter, food, clothing and support is why two people agreeing to get things done is better than one.

Sarah W. Certainty: It sounds like both people need to demand accountability and not relinquish it.

Mother Sayer: Right. Sarah, listen to me. Love and Commitment are strongholds. Weakening them by not demanding accountability doesn’t make either person stronger. The effect is quite detrimental. I’ve read somewhere that “confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint.” (Proverbs 25:19)

Not only does releasing a partner from their duties to each other forebodes troubles, but it forms a shadow as well. The ‘shadow of bestowing faith on the wrong person’. I know the conclusion is harsh and isn’t meant to sever ties with a partner immediately, but he or she needs to be put on notice that you’re not holding up your end of the bargain. Don’t drag it out either. If a person can’t or won’t do right by you, they’re not going to do right.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, life is transactional?

Mother Sayer: Yes, to a certain degree it is. Listen, I’ve seen people in my neighborhood truly believe that they can change people. I know the look on your face. “No human being changes unless they wish to change.”

Let me say this to you and it might be a little forward thinking, but it is something that needs to be said. It is good that you are starting a relationship, but keep your head on straight about ‘human interaction’. It can have a lasting effect on your outlook on life.

Sarah W. Certainty: What do you mean ‘human interaction’ and my outlook on life?

Mother Sayer: Most women and some men take on the traits of the people they’re intimate with to an extent that their view seemingly matches the view of their partner. (Mother sees the look of bewilderment on Sarah’s face and she gestures with her hand to just follow what I’m saying for now).

I’ll lay out a scenario for you. Say you’re with a man long enough to get a good read on his tendencies and motivations about how he lives his life. Let’s say some parts of his structure and foundation suddenly has cracks or is leaking, metaphorically of course. He’s late for work a lot lately. His finances begin to show signs of straining to meet his obligations. He’s short on conversation more now even after all the chores are done and the day winds to a close.

You chalk it up to he has a lot of responsibilities and he’s managing them as best he can. Is he? What should you do as the love interest when this ‘trying time’ occurs?

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, I would be supportive first. Then I would want to know what’s going on and how I could help him get through what’s troubling him.

Mother Sayer: Good Sarah, very good. What if he doesn’t respond positively to your offer of assistance? Then what do you do?

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m not following clearly what you mean Mother. Are you saying that I need to demand something from him? A show of good faith that he must understand that’s how a relationship works?

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles and listens to Sarah and she observes the change in body language and muscle contortions on her face.). That’s exactly right Sarah. There’s an old saying that you only get one chance to make a good impression. If a man or a woman doesn’t wish to discuss their troubles with you, which everyone that lives and strives for something in life will have; he or she won’t be supportive enough to help you when your troubles come. Let me tell you, two people talking out their problems and brainstorming solutions is an invaluable practice. That’s right, if you’re with a person incapable of discussing real problems with you, then ask yourself who’s going to help you figure out answers to your problems.

Sarah W. Certainty: What if the person is shy?

Mother Sayer: Ain’t that sweet. I hope there’s a clinic nearby that offers group therapy sessions to open his or her outlook to the world. Look, there is only so much time we all have on this Earth. Do you want to be a therapist or psychiatrist to everybody that needs ‘relationship’ coaching?

Sarah W. Certainty: No, but I want to be understanding and helpful, don’t I?

Mother Sayer: If the man has promise, sure you can be supportive. There’s also the fact of time. You want someone to complement you, don’t you? I don’t want you to be a ‘deflated ball’ either.

Sarah W. Certainty: A ‘deflated ball’?

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah. Right now, you’re a vibrant and most impressive talent. Beautiful and intelligent. The danger in life comes when you allow the rules you live by to be relaxed for another person. If that partner doesn’t work out, then you start to snowball, per se, from partner to partner to partner when you should’ve stuck with your ‘code’ in the first place.

That’s when the ‘deflated ball’ metaphor describes your body and mind after being passed from partner to partner to partner. A ball is quite firm when it is put into the game, but after its’ played with for a while that ball is ‘tossed’ and a new ball takes its’ place.

Sarah W. Certainty: I do get it. Nobody can really bounce up and down on a ‘flat ball’ huh?

Mother Sayer: No they cannot. That’s not the worst state of a person after wandering from partner to partner to partner. The worst thing about that person is not recognizing when they meet a good person. Usually they initially interact quite pleasantly with a good person, but their record of being with uncomplimentary people drives how they behave with the good person.

Sarah W. Certainty: They’re programmed with the foolishness of all the wrong people that it’s impossible to behave righteously with the good person. They don’t know how to act?

Mother Sayer: Right. It is frustrating for the good person to have sympathy for you, but inevitably the good person isn’t going to waste time trying to deprogram you because you are now comfortable with the mentality of all the bad partners you had. I’ve taught my children from the time I knew they could understand me. ‘Protect your mind’ at all times.

Thus the ‘shadow of relationship turning’ is a strong one to make disappear when you’ve burdened yourself for years by not firmly adhering to your own rules.

Sarah W. Certainty: Stick to my code I live by for without it, “I will look like a stuffed toy, played with for only so long until its forgotten somewhere dirty and sticky.”

Mother Sayer: (Interesting, Sarah is beginning to develop her own aphorisms.). Very good, Sarah. That’s a nice one. Now I want to talk about the shadow of not bettering yourself. It often happens when people say to you, ‘Oh you think you’re better than me because you’re a college graduate’ or however they end the sentence.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know, like how women look at me and envy my good looks.

Mother Sayer: Correct. I usually say, “It’s not that I think I’m better than you, but I’ve spent a lot of money in school. I’ve spent a lot of time honing my soft skills such as language, relationships in the workplace, conflict resolution and so on. I’ve done it and it’s within your rights to do it as well.”

Sarah W. Certainty: Right, but what if they become agitated and make a scene?

Mother Sayer: You calmly say something like ‘excuse me’ and walk away. That shadow is easy to make disappear, but it’s also easy to add to your burdens when you don’t develop yourself as a person. The ‘shadow of believing education puts you in a bad light’ is a terrible shadow to have tagging along for the ride.

Sarah W. Certainty: I’ve heard that since I’ve been here around more Black people.

Mother Sayer: (Mother laughs at Sarah.). Heard what Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: That Blacks kids are often scolded by their friends for being smart.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, I’ve already given my children tools to counter that foolishness, but it’s a shadow that stills creeps about seeking whom it may cover. Another shadow that really strangles the hopes of many people is the ‘shadow of inconsistency’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay, so following a routine everyday should eliminate that shadow.

Mother Sayer: That’s precisely right. The military is good at this. Every soldier in the Army knows what time to be in formation every morning. A routine relieves a lot of guesswork and keeps many people, who’ve never had structure where they came from, out of trouble.

Sarah W. Certainty: It helped you?

Mother Sayer: The Army delivered to me the items for which I joined, and I’m thankful for my service to my country. I think we’ve covered a lot of ground today. I’m going to have some lunch brought up for us. Is that okay Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: I’d like to talk about shadows again. I think I’m dropping a lot of mine as we speak.

Mother Sayer: Good Sarah. Man, you are already pretty. I don’t know if you’ll be too fly for my company.

Sarah W. Certainty: Don’t worry Mother, unless you fire me, I’m not going anywhere.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles, it’s always good to make sure of your allies. Even in the good times.). That’s my girl.

Epilogue:

(The lunch was good. Roast beef with mashed potatoes, salad, dinner rolls, apple pie. White wine to wash it down. Mother thinks about her company, The ARC Incorporated. It’s a great place to work and support a family which is all good, but the ‘human interaction’ is the fuel that makes it fly. She loves feeling the blood flow through her people because she knows there is more creativity and zest in people that in profit. A business can have the best products, but does it have the best people? The people is what the ARC chooses to invest its’ resources.).

An Onslaught

I must get this off my chest first I’m sorry. I will place the soft points of this post somewhere in the center of this writing. “I don’t understand why an elected official can’t grasp the implied meanings in the oaths they undertake.” When an official raises their right hand, and swears to defend the Constitution of the U.S., their state, city, town, borough, grain shed, or outhouse. There is ‘peril’ implicitly woven into that short-sworn paragraph that’s repeated verbally. It’s not a job of personal safety or fidelity to yourself. It is a fidelity to protecting your town, borough, state, federal government. ‘At great personal danger’ should be added to all oaths of office. That means standing up for what’s right even if you’re the only one standing!

This onslaught didn’t start the last century. This onslaught started centuries ago when people could rule others with disdain for human decency. Slavery, exploitation, thievery, corruption, murder was all employed with impunity because no one cared as long as they weren’t in the oppressed class subjected to daily atrocities. Let me sneak this little bulletin in before I go further. I’ve lived in Europe for a few years, but I wouldn’t want to spend the rest of my life there. Americans, take a look at recorded history (all history isn’t in textbooks). What are the catalysts that eventually destroy great societies? The apathy of their leaders not acting on the fact that their country is always in peril. Plus, their citizens going about their daily lives oblivious to the fact they’re responsible for their country’s destruction as well.

I remember wearing the uniform of my country and experiencing great memories. One time I was on a supply convoy, in a seemingly forsaken land, and one of the locals we hired to haul a truck to a forward base broke down. Shortening the story, we, all soldiers were out of our armored vehicles pulling security. A shot (bullet) rang out. The locals scattered. All soldiers maintained their discipline. None of us panicked, raised out weapons, chased ghosts or any foolish action. It was a beauty to behold. Contrast that with some police officers and their quick decisions to fire at the citizens they’re sworn to shield from peril. How come or what oath are they taking? A soldier knows that swearing an oath means that you may have to lay down your life for your country. Why is it that police officers are not taught this virtue?

Let’s backtrack a minute. Suppose you needed some plumbing work done in your home and deciding on who to do the work would send you to a local or online source. After reviewing all the comments and ratings given on several contractors, you decide to go with the worst plumber in the business. The plumber shows up, doesn’t have the right tools. His pants can’t remember the last time they met in the middle, and he starts to work under your sink. He bursts the pipes, floods the kitchen and needs to run out to the truck to get the right tool. You think this is great and vow to always call this man for future plumbing service. This is where America is right now. We seek the worst among us and put them in charge. It’s like being better than someone is frowned upon now.

If you are afraid or scared at the twitching whiskers of a field mouse, you should not put on a uniform of the honored guardians of any people. A uniform soldier, policeman, special agent supposed to be the example of composure in conflict or extreme stress. If you feel (anybody wearing a uniform) you can’t perform your duties to protect and defend the citizenry of your sector, then remove your uniform and turn in your credentials. You say then we wouldn’t have any policemen or policewomen. Good, we know when they come, they will be the finest among the candidates.

Let’s look at the scenario that happened out in Sacramento, California. A young man standing in his backyard at night on his phone minding his own business. Two police officers approach you hollering, screaming and then they yell gun and murder you. Back up a minute. The conditions at the time were dark, private property, voices yelling, black man, white police officers. Couldn’t the police officers realize they would startle anybody on their property by doing that? Couldn’t the police officers check to verify if the residence had weapons registered? Couldn’t the officers position themselves behind cover and calmly address the resident on his own property? Couldn’t the officers continue a dialogue behind cover until the resident knew who was calling out to him? I observed the posture of the police chief and it signaled to me that there is zero integrity in that police force.

Just an observation from an African American living and learning about religion in America. I want to save the children for last because the destruction of humanity has reached our (supposedly) last best hope and we’re losing. First, religion was used to land grab the country from the Native Americans. Second, it was used to justify slavery and all its’ wanton cruelty and degradation. Thirdly, it was used to (degrade law enforcement) allow the police to become a tool for good (through privileged eyes) in defense of white people only. I can’t understand why people of color don’t trust the police. (Sarcasm).

Fourthly, it is used to dismantle the U.S. Constitution. Here’s how. When religious leaders (so-called) only teach selective doctrine that is distorted to suit a specific purpose, say, behavior can be forgiven without the perpetrator admitting fault is why the lost among us continue to embrace such an easy abdication of their own responsibility or check what’s taught them with that ‘book’ (The Bible I believe it’s called). When they profess an absolute right to own guns to the detriment of houses of worship, shopping malls, theaters, places of business, military installations, post offices, concerts, nightclubs, and lastly schools.

Fifth, I read somewhere in that book, the Bible, that the children were to be protected and held as sacred. Something that Jesus said about forbid them not to come unto him, or something about a millstone around a neck and cast into the ocean if you harm a child. Our legacy is being killed off and it takes a child to scream the loudest for us adults to awaken? Our children must flee from a school when we want them to run toward a school to get an education? Our children’s innocence is met with irrelevance and disdain as if their right to be free of such adult atrocities isn’t within their right to ask. Keep it up America. Historically, no society is immune to self-annihilation.

Black Lives Matter. This fight is about facing down strongholds. When you stroke the evil or hatred that surrounds all of us, metaphysically, evil doesn’t care if you only wanted to use it ‘for a minute’ and put it down afterwards. Or that you only wanted to use it to get elected. Evil doesn’t work that way people! Once it’s on you, it’s hell trying to get it off. How can you dip your hand in water and think it doesn’t get under the skin (ever hear of rashes)? Same principle with evil. Let evil into your mind and think it doesn’t get under the skin. Yeah right.

What’d you think? Evil doesn’t play fair. Once you give evil an opening, the onslaught begins because it will push through as much craziness as it can until your stupidity realizes you’ve made a huge mistake. Guess what people. It’s too late. Let’s see what’s happened with our children in recent history, not only current history’, but go back a few decades. Now we have children running from schools for their lives. I’ll say again. Children running from schools for their lives! Am I missing something. I thought children were encouraged to go toward schools. Now we are scarring children for life because once you see the horrors that humanity perpetrates on humanity it’s forever. The children now have a life sentence, but they didn’t commit a crime.

Summing it all up. To all elected officials, your oaths are your legacy. America should be your top concern because she is always in peril. Ask yourself why the military is constantly in motion. Because the military is hyper aware of the fact that to protect a nation you must always believe she is in danger? If an official (Attorney General, Public Defender, Prosecutor) charged with keeping law and order can’t treat all citizens equally because of a fear of the police reacting negatively. Resign your post! The police are not an occupying force immune to scrutiny and above the law. Every life taken by the police should be reviewed and that goes for all levels of law enforcement activity in all levels of government including the military. They are supposed to reduce the peril faced by their citizens, not increase it.

Episode Eleven: The Siphon Effect

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Episode Eleven: The Siphon Effect

Prologue:

(It is a quiet Wednesday morning as the last days of summer are fading quickly along the path of strong and cooler winds. The wind seems to blow around her home and catch her as she strolls along her front yard. Mother Sayer is not one to forsake traditions. Her father, Ableman Sayer, instilled in her strict routines that at the passage of time, she knows have served her well beyond any measureable criteria.

“Se’May, do the same thing every morning you wake up. Don’t be like many people that can’t seem to do even the simplest of tasks daily. Place your car keys in the same place in the home. The dishes, pots and pans. Your clothes, separate the tops from the bottoms. Place your furniture in ways that increases your efficiency and lessens your worry which would also make it easier for you to clean.”

A smile crosses Mother’s face as she knows adhering to her lessons has been a blessing to her. If one thing she doesn’t need on her mind is wondering where things are while trying to continuously build, maintain and grow the sort of business that would make her a force for good initiatives that serve humanity.

Oh, and one more thing Father Sayer would often repeat to her. “If there is anything I’ve told you that is worth meditating on repeatedly, it is this. Don’t ever relieve pressure off anyone.” Mother Sayer remembers that she would ask. “Why?” Father Sayer would respond. “Because you would stun their growth.” Mother would ask him. “How do I avoid doing that?”

Father Sayer would say. “It takes pressure to grow food, doesn’t it? You think the seeds are comfortable laying in the ground with all that dirt encompassing their entirety. Pressing upon them 360 degrees while simultaneously allowing water to be siphoned off to encircle the seed. Does the ground welcome the seed and allows it to take root?

You’re not discerning wisely when you decide about the food you eat, and how that seed blooms into an altogether different structural being, per se. The seed may possess everything it needs, encoding, to become it’s intended form and purpose, but it would not be so if it were not placed in fertile ground.”

“The seed, if it did not have the dirt, water, nutrients in the soil, worms, animals and insects, depositing things we may not even know are critical for that seed to become the nourishment our bodies need. Lastly, again the pressure. All hopes, dreams, wishes, and good intentions are nothing without the pressure that human beings must accept and embrace to fulfill their purpose.”

“Se’May, don’t give in to the tendency to protect your children or even yourself from having to feel, endure, embrace, and spend that pressure into creating that nourishing person so sorely in need on this world. Not many people successfully understand this principle. I hope you will give it the proper time and allow it to become a part of you. It will serve you well Father Sayer would say. All those factors that come into play and are never recognized as crucial to growing, not growing, breaking open the casing of that seed, and then feeding it with what it needs to flourish. I know I told you about the steps that are important to success. Anyway, what everyone doesn’t know or don’t want to know is astonishing.”

Father Sayer would say. “Try buying something that only trades in pressure. Just try buying it for the chance to even get a glimpse of it without knowing the initial cost is tremendous. Pressure is the only currency success takes. You must spend that pressure to purchase the item of success you want. The fear of failure. The foreboding arura of uncertainty. The hope that you have the mental fortitude to see your future, your dream to reality. What, you feel that? That is pressure. You must ‘spend’ that pressure to dissipate it!”

Mother Sayer would say. “How.” Father Sayer would say. “All the setbacks and slowdowns. The ideas that fizzled out. The fight to keep your mind on track and focused. Listen to me, everybody’s account is full when they start out in life. When a child starts school, there is pressure (every part and parcel leading to comprehending the material to move onto the next higher grade). Acquiring skills, to include all of them from financial, cooking, cleaning, mannerisms, and on and on to support a life to the next step.”

“Yes Se’May, everybody’s account is full of that currency, pressure, must be spent down, as prudence requires it to reach a state of blooming, so to speak. The outer shell must be penetrated. Of course, (He sees it in Se’May’s eyes), we all need council and only the people who know they need the right kind seem to fulfill their dreams.”

That seed in the ground does not crack its’ shell alone. That seed does not water itself. That seed does not provide for itself the nutrient rich soil to send its’ roots deep. What does this mean? Nothing begins life sorely of its’ own will. Nothing survives on its’ own without assistance. There are no ‘self-made seeds.’ Vitality comes from what you’re fed. (It would seem that growth springs forth underneath the weight of pressure).

Mother S. Sayer: (Today is another day I am led to believe that it best be spent with my children, she thinks). Justus. Doyenne. Come, breakfast is ready. (It is about 8 am on a Monday morning. Mother does not believe that summer is a time to release her children from ‘rule based achievement.’ She structures their weekdays to start no later than waking up at 7 am. ‘The training up a child in the way they should go thing.’ I don’t want them hanging on my skirt no longer than necessary).

Mother S. Sayer: Sit down and let’s give thanks. (The meal is engaged. Mother is not one to waste feedback. She observes her son. He eats 2 and a half helpings. Good. She observes Doy. Doy is being the typical female. Her appetite is not as ravenous as her brother’s, but Mother believes she needs to assist her with her understanding of food so she doesn’t expend unnecessary energy and time.

Mother S. Sayer: Doy, are you not hungry this morning?

Doyenne: I’m fine Mother.

Mother S. Sayer: I didn’t ask how you were feeling. I asked why do you eat so little this morning?

Doyenne: Girls can’t pig out every time they sit at the table Mother. I have to be conscious of the way I look, don’t I?

Mother S. Sayer: Doy, your reasoning is flawed if you’ve concluded that food persuades or decides anything about your body. Food doesn’t make decisions for you. Food is simply a part of how you sustain your life.

Doyenne: Food does make you fat, does it not Mother?

Mother S. Sayer: (This is how it begins. How human beings unwittingly siphon energy from areas that need it most, to areas that should be suppressed and incapacitated. A complex about food is drawing vitality from other necessary learning). Doy. Listen to me now and pay close attention. You are 14 and your brother is 15. The age you are now holds great promise, but it also holds great despair.

Doyenne: Despair Mother?

Mother S. Sayer: (She is thinking in her mind how to say what she has to say in ways that her daughter can comprehend and retain. Inevitably, she decides to be true and give her daughter the ‘sure wording of truth’ her father unflinchingly fed her at all times). Doy, nothing is more dangerous than a person not knowing what’s good for them.

If you’re looking at food believing that starving yourself will somehow attain an appearance you desire, you’re wrong. If you want to sculpt an image that satisfactory, then you should exercise on a scheduled basis and follow what fitness experts have already discovered. Don’t throw the responsibility off onto food trying to make it the enemy of why you don’t look the way you want.

You know what? That’s just trifling. (She sees the look on Doys’ face and gives her the southern definition of trifling). Trifling means being ignorant just for the hell of it, or being stupid because you can, and it irritates other people.

Doyenne: Oh, so I need to stop being stupid when I know how to address any weight issue I may have with exercise and proper dieting?

Mother S. Sayer: (Smiling, it always seems that holding people accountable moves the needle further to good results more than bad results). Yes, that is correct. Look, you will encounter a heck of a lot more pressure in life than worrying about things within your power to control. At those moments, understand that ‘pressure is a currency that has to be spent.’ I’ll give you an example. Let’s say you’ve ignored a lesson taught and you are at a party where the attendees are becoming increasingly unruly and belligerent.

What do you do? Your girlfriend whom you rode with has hooked up with a dude she met there. You don’t know where you are to include the street or the block where this house is located. You don’t know anybody else there, but that’s not the worst thing. The worse thing is you don’t have your own way of getting home. What do you do Doy?

Doyenne: I don’t know Mother?

Mother S. Sayer: You want to ask you brother if he has any suggestions?

Doyenne: Justus, what would you do?

Justus: I would try calling somebody else I know to come pick me up.

Mother S. Sayer: What do you think about that suggestion Doy?

Doyenne: It sounds good, but what if the house doesn’t have a phone?

Mother S. Sayer: (Now she is beginning to think and game out the scenario a little bit. Let’s see if she can reason her way out of this hypothetical). What other things you know about living in a city? Name some ‘points of interests’ that populate a city.

Doyenne: Well, there are gas stations. There are restaurants. Libraries. There are stores that aren’t too far from neighborhoods.

Mother S. Sayer: Good. Now how would you employ these factors to assist you in getting home safely?

Doyenne: Well.

Mother S. Sayer: Wait. There are about 2 or 3 guys eyeing every move you make. Go ahead, finish what you were going to say.

Doyenne: Sickness. I would feign sickness.

Mother S. Sayer: (Incredible! The intuition that emerges when a mind feels threatened). Doy. I must say. What you just did is the result of years of me talking to the both of you. The admonishments are now paying dividends. They aren’t for my sake, but for the survival of the promise you have for your lives. I won’t be the one to feel the pain or the horror physically if you find yourself somewhere you shouldn’t be.

I will feel sorrow for you when I’m told about what happened to you, but you will be the one to suffer if you don’t learn anything. If you don’t push that brain inside your head to strive for better constantly. You came up with an idea that you now can game through in your mind for use in uncomfortable situations. That is what happens when you expect pressure to be present in your life, and spend that currency.

Doy: Currency?

Justus: Currency? I want to hear that myself?

Mother S. Sayer: Let me ask you both. This is a yes or no question. When I was carrying you for 9 months inside me. Was I under pressure? Were you under pressure?

Doy: Yes to both questions.

Justus: Yes to both as well Mother.

Mother S. Sayer: You’re both right. Think of a seed. Can a seed grow on top of the ground?

Doy: No, I don’t think so.

Justus: No it can’t.

Mother S. Sayer: Setting aside any anomalies that may occur, you both are right again. A seed has to be placed under the surface and in contact with fertile soil. It is constantly being touched by water, dirt, possibly insects and other factors we aren’t aware exist in the process. Pressing on that seed at all times to produce the food that is expected of it. All those factors are laying expectations on that seed to take root and grow. They have a vested interest in it maybe because the cycle of planting and harvesting leaves vital waste that nourishes the next growing season.

Doy: So, the seed doesn’t feed or water itself?

Mother S. Sayer: (She looks at her children for signs of an expanding consciousness that foretells a human being capable of discerning a great many things as they go through life. She is encouraged by her perceptions). That’s right. A man and woman may wish to have a baby, but that’s just the beginning. Even though the woman carries the child; the father has supportive and protective watch to see to it the child is born with as little complications as possible.

That’s the currency of pressure that has to be spent to dissipate it. Having a baby is not an easy task nor is planting a field. There is constant pressure and that pressure is taken off (spent) one task or responsibility at a time. If you forget something. When you remember it, do it. If mother wants father at the ultrasound, the father has to take off work. In reasoning that the baby will cost more when its’ born; start looking for another job or seek higher education. Change careers if you have to. There is always pressure and that ‘currency’ has to be spent!

My Father spoke with me on many occasions about many aspects of life, and the one thing about this topic, pressure, I noticed he didn’t speak of. ‘He never said this currency can be saved, or the currency of pressure can earn interest.’ I don’t want to go too in-depth right now, but also pay close attention in life to what is not said. Do you both understand?

Doyenne: Yes Mother.

Justus: Yes Mother. So, if I want to have a family it is a no fail mission the responsibilities that are assigned to me in caring for my family? Pressure is something that is going to be constant in life and I have to learn to work through it. Spend it until it’s spent, so I can earn the real dividends when I successfully relieve that pressure.

Mother S. Sayer: Very good Justus. Doy, I want to stress to you that there are dangers that you must be aware to void that your brother probably will never face.

Doyenne: Yes, I know Mother, you told me. Some men are not taught how to govern their actions as you and father have taught my brother. Always think about what you’re doing and observe the situation and process the feedback correctly.

Mother S. Sayer: Good, I know right now you may think I am characterizing all men as predators with violent tendencies. That is far from the case. A woman must never relinquish her role in any situation. If a man is getting out of hand, speak in a manner befitting the circumstances and let him know he is out of order. You don’t have to escalate the anger or volatile nature of the situation, but you can lower the volume by being righteous enough to say something.

Justus: So it’s all on the woman’s shoulders to calm a man down Mother?

Mother S. Sayer: (Another appropriate and probing question for better understanding from Justus). That’s not what I’m saying Justus. I’m saying, when appropriate a woman or someone with the strength of will to see that a person is letting the circumstances get the best of him, to try and calm him down. If that’s not possible, then remove yourself from the situation and let the person cool off.

By no means am I saying be the one that has to calm everybody down. Some events have to play out between people. What I would do is assess each event quickly and judge whether it is worth my time to intervene or walk away. This I’m sad to tell you takes ‘the arc of time.’

Doyenne: Okay Mother.

Justus: Okay Mother.

Mother S. Sayer: Now let’s continue with our discussion. I want to talk more on being wary of things that may divert your energy. By divert I mean to siphon off your efforts to complete a task by distracting you into doing something not connected to your stated or written goals.

Doyenne: I know this one. It’s like when you’re supposed to be taking a test in class and you’re sitting there daydreaming about what you have planned after school.

Mother S. Sayer: That’s right Doy. There are many facets to life. In the words I’ve spoken lie a host of interconnected streams that branch out and around everyone’s life. It doesn’t exist.

Justus: Exist? What doesn’t exist?

Mother S. Sayer: (Her gaze has intensified toward her children. She isn’t concerned that they will comprehend what she is transferring right now. All that matters now are conveying her thoughts, intermingled with her Father’s wisdom, to the benefit of her children. She knows that she must teach her children, carry them, to adulthood, but after that it is up to them to retain and abide by their upbringing, or not). All you do effects all you do.

Doyenne: I’m still not fully knowing what you’re talking about Mother.

Justus: I think I’m getting there, but I want to hear more. Please, Doy, let’s just listen to what Mother has to say.

Mother S. Sayer: (It is respectful that Justus adheres to my desire to be addressed as Mother and not some variation of the traditional role I hold dear). I’ll give you an example of what I mean and see if this can clear it up for you both. Let’s say for instance, a young man has a desire to be a mechanic when he finishes high school. He’s on track in all his classes. Shop. Mathematics are fine. There’s just one thing though he’s doing that may throw everything on the table up in the air and crashing to the floor. He’s having sex with his girlfriend.

Mind you, they are both nearly 18, so it’s not a question about do they know what they’re doing. It’s the possibility of conceiving a child out of wedlock. Now, before I go further. Do either of you think this consequence has other consequences attached to it?

Doyenne: Yes, they do Mother. There is.

Mother S. Sayer: Wait a minute Doy. Hold that thought. Justus, what do you think could be the consequences of a child introduced into that relationship?

Justus: (She knows something about what I’ve been doing). So, having a girlfriend could present challenges to achieving an envisioned future for this couple.

Mother S. Sayer: In and of itself, there is nothing wrong with having somebody to talk to and spend time. Even sharing some growing pains is a healthy thing. As the years pass is when youth’s euphoric invincibility begins to ‘block the view of adulthood.’

(She again sees the rise of perplexity in the eyes of her children, but she continues in her dissemination of the known pillars of life she has encountered. Some of them with unfortunate and unfulfilled dreams). Sometimes life is brushed aside in lieu of not ruining the fun or good times occurring in front of us. Mind you, it doesn’t mean that by ignoring all the possibilities that could happen from acting on impulses, doesn’t mean those impulses ‘completed’, will not result in enormous adjustments to a person’s life.

A child will cause an immediate realignment of the schedule of any parent. So, unless you are rich and can provide a nanny, the ‘arc of time’ will not be favorable to the both of you. Once time is spent it can’t be rewound. That means that purposes are now going unsatisfied. Time now feels unkind. Suddenly it’s wrong that I’m being prevented from being a mechanic. I can’t pay for school because my child needs what it needs. Then resentment begins to set in.

I was man’s gift to women when I got my girlfriend pregnant. Now I’m being held hostage to one woman and responsible for the life of this child. “All I did was have sex,” is a common chorus the male usually expresses when it finally sinks in the enormity of his decision.

There is something else that has been happening to this couple all the while they’ve been believing life was so great to them. It is a sneaky undertaking. Sort of like not plugging a leak, but making it seem that the leak is plugged. Like draining or emptying a cup of invigorating cold water down a parched throat. A siphoning that has been going on in the background. A siphoning that has been giggling at this couple as soon as they started engaging in intimacy.

Stay with me children because this is important. Long ago, their minds were made up on what they wanted their future to be. Now their future is put on hold, but it didn’t occur suddenly. It occurred gradually. It was siphoned off slowly. Each time they were intimate a chunk of their future was knocked off the top. They knew the danger signs, but they chose to ‘blow past the stop.’

Now, tell me how this couple is going to fulfill their dreams now. Their money is tight. Their time is allocated to caring for the baby. They have to work at jobs that elevates their anger daily because they believe they are worth more than the pittance they are paid. All of this resulted from viewing their future through ‘rose colored glasses.’

Doyenne: I know Mother. Why is it always on the woman to be the responsible party for the child. Didn’t the man have a lot to do with it?

Mother S. Sayer: Again the tradition is that the Mother will care for the child. Another warning to you. Don’t siphon off your energy complaining why this is so. I gave that practice up a long time ago. Yes, there are some things you can fight, but you have to know the difference and that takes engagement, practice and retention of what you learn or encounter.

Justus: I see I am going to be watched closely.

Mother S. Sayer: (Ah, it is good he knows my scrutiny will be perceived by him as harsher than with his sister). Yes Justus, it is my job to help you reach the point in life where you can take care of yourself. More importantly, that decisions you make may have years tied into them before they are resolved. It is tricky. The way life may come at you. Just like the law, ‘ignorance of the rules of this house is no defense.’

Doyenne: (Laughing). It sure ain’t. I know that’s right.

Mother S. Sayer: Oh, all is well. Just learn this and stay true to it. Life is a life long journey. Learning throughout this journey is what keeps your mind sharp and alert. Add to that a good healthy lifestyle of exercise and proper diet and the ‘sky’s the limit’ as they say. Do this. Don’t worry about what is said as so much as you understand it. It will come in time.

Justus: Alright Mother.

Doyenne: Okay Mother.

Mother S. Sayer: Very well then. You both may spend time now doing what you like until dinner. Go on now, have fun. Don’t leave the home.

Justus: Thank you Mother.

Doyenne: Thank you Mother.

Epilogue:

(What a tiresome day. It is a chore restating in detail the lessons learned from a parent for the continued benefit of the next generation. It’s worth it I must say. It is worth it. Mother resumes her routines on the days she spends at home in her office. She makes some calls to keep all her key people pursuing the tenets of her company vision.

She knows it takes ‘the arc of time’ for purposes to be fulfilled. Her people should be given no less the benefit of that maxim. At least now she doesn’t have that feeling of being ‘overwhelmed.’ Like she felt when her Father was spending what felt like ‘every waking minute of time’ drilling her on everything about life. ‘I didn’t know there was so many facets; or so many interconnected ‘rivers’ that seem to join together downstream or upstream in life.’

Anyway, my Father did say I would create my own ‘catch phrases’ that would propel me to new heights of success. The best he said thought are the ones I’ve developed that’ve helped my children and my associates. He was right).

Signal Jamming

Forgive my absence. It was necessary to observe how others of my kind could advance the argument toward that ultimate aspiration. Alas, returning to the task at hand. I would ask all who would attempt to advance the great family of humankind to know this. All families first hesitate to call out the wrongs of their relatives, but you know what happens when you cover a fault? It relates to the third form of matter. Gas. You can’t contain the stench of an unjust act. It smells and you know what, sooner or later the smell gets into everything. I’ll let you figure out how to get the smell out.

Athletes, politicians, civil rights front liners, Leaders of Industry, and all who face jeopardy for the cause of what’s right. I want to address specifically the ones who’ve been given the guardianship of Arena Combat. Yes, I’m talking to the owners of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, SOCCER and all organizations as such. These games are not to be challenged, questioned, or diminished by no man or woman! These games were ordained to give humankind relief, pleasure, exhilaration, in order to keep us from madness. Do not attempt to mess with that for no man. Yes, do not mess with forces you don’t understand if you are an owner wavering in your commitment to your duty to us all.

Now, back to the topic at hand. Beware of message integrity and the way your enemy (hatred and evil in all its’ forms) seeks to distort its’ clarity. Learn to prepare your message beforehand and be ready to give an answer devoid of all negative emotions. Use metaphors and don’t shy away from them. Practice them, shape them, bend them to your cause. Being lucid helps your audience understand why this act is being undertaken. Why you believe this protest will bring about the movement you desire to question all loss of life because we just can’t take your word that he or she “needed killin.”

Lastly, never believe your argument should be taken at face value and it should not be disputed. Know what is signal jamming and know how to filter out the noise to return the sharpness to your transmission. Yes, I said that. You are in a battle and in battle communication is paramount. You better know how to clear the signal and continue delivery of your message. Don’t wait until the noise clears! If you are serious about the cause, then you better find a way. The signal jammers are not going to stop switching the frequency or turn down their counter-messaging mechanisms.

Look, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Look at the historical record. How did a great man, a human man, MLK, move the “ARC of the Moral Universe” closer to the surface to affect humankind righteously? Could you kneel, as the greatest man converted into flesh, blindfolded and buffeted, beaten, spat upon, and then crucified. All this and he didn’t commit a crime! Remember, we all will never attain to the revered position of “resisted until blood” to make humankind realize the error of their ways.

Episode Ten: The Seamstress

Mother Se’May Sayer: The ARC of Time

Episode Ten: The Seamstress

Prologue:

(What am I missing? It has served her well. This practice of seeing the obvious in front of her and seizing the answer and acting upon it. Mother Sayer knows she is creating a business that is thriving because she has been careful to oversee every aspect of it. Every employee must offer a reason if he or she wants to become part of the ARC Incorporated. Mother then takes their reasons and see if their efforts can be woven into the fabric or covering that all see when they encounter the ARC.

Every product for instance, should reflect appropriately back upon the creative aspect of the company. If it doesn’t fit, it’s not legit. The mission essentially is not to make money. The mission is to change the way business is done. Thus, as a result, business will be brought more in line with the needs of the employees. When the needs of the employees are met, then the needs of the company will be rewarded.

How can all these various obligations that must be addressed, nurtured, and fed to sustain their growth; tie into the sustainability of a corporation that has so many lives dependent on it? Well, come and see how Mother Sayer solved these problems and many more like them.)

The day begins:

Mother Sayer: (Days like this seem to occur more rapidly lately. The business is twitchy right now. I mean it feels ready to grow, but it somehow lacks the ability to carry the weight of all its’ parts. It wants to grow, but it doesn’t want to be deformed. Somehow all the ‘limbs’ are not getting the right amount of care and nourishment to grow as a part of the whole.). What’s on tap for today Sarah?

Sarah W. Certainty: Many things desire your attention Mother. The one most particular that screams for notification is the two new mechanic shop locations.

Mother Sayer: Did Blinner give you her latest update on where we stood in acquiring the land and zoning authority from the city of Louisville?

Sarah W. Certainty: She stated that the land, both sites altogether would be $1.5 million. The zoning is approved. All that is needed now is the building permits and compliance with all city, state and Federal requirements at both sites. You know, air, water and sanitation concerns. The normal things when adding structures to any city’s skyline.

Mother Sayer: I see. Has she gotten with the lawyers and filed all the necessary papers?

Sarah W. Certainty: Ms. Blinner seems to be acting in a way that shows she knows what she is doing. My read on her is that she had prior permission to do the things she is doing. Am I correct Mother?

Mother Sayer: (Perceptive. Although Sarah certainly comes from let’s say a dangerous family, she is none the less adept at reading people in her own right.). Yes Sarah, you would be correct.

Sarah, I’ve got a few ideas swirling around in my head. My read on you. No. Let me say this. I’ve taken you in as a favor to your Mother, Sparklett Stone. The date I’m beginning to place in the annals of my life as one of my most fortunate days.

My success, I’ve truly believed when all is said and done, will be accredited to the people I chose around me. I didn’t chose you directly, but I thank my lucky stars, per se, that you were given to me.

Sarah W. Certainty: That is what I’ve been waiting to hear from you Mother. I don’t mean to sound expectant or put on an air of inevitability, but I’ve always knew I could make a contribution. Trust me, the bloodline I’m from; we’ve got to know our worth and where we stand because our life would literally depend on it.

I’ve never evaded the truth of my parents’ home. Taking action in that direction would certainly have shorten my born and day-of-rest timeline.

Mother Sayer: Sarah. I am taken with you. (It is about 1000 am and Mother decides to send all calls to her working group one floor beneath and spend the afternoon with Sarah).

Sarah W. Certainty: Sorry, I know I don’t talk as much and people sometimes get the notion that I have gotten through life on my looks.

Mother Sayer: (Yes, Sarah is quite the looker. I’ve known many instances in my life where men decided to analyze, categorize, and rate me according to their infinite rating schema which describes beauty in their minds). No no Sarah. Assumptions only work after an interaction with your subject. Besides, assumptions are insulting after you’ve gotten to know people. I mean through all the body language, mannerisms, speech and coherence of thought. These indicators project the aura of a person beyond the physical realm. It truly is akin to a covering that leaves enough room for family to be warmed by as well.

Sarah W. Certainty: I don’t know what to say. I’ve never heard anyone speak to me that way. I mean my mother always glowingly refers to me as her ‘beauty force’, but it is like energy is being transferred to me as you speak to me. I must say I don’t know what to say.

Mother Sayer: Easy Sarah, I know how you feel right now because I got the same reaction when my Dad spoke to me. He was constantly bringing me with him. Teaching me the things I needed in life because he saw something inside me or something I was giving off and he wanted to make sure I refined it to be under my control.

Sarah W. Certainty: What? What is it? Tell me.

Mother Sayer: Ableman Sayer, my father, called it ‘The Recruiter’s Gift’. This force, it travels in ‘arcs’ around the Earth looking to drop its’ power on deserving souls. It seems to give only a finite group of people deeper understanding about the world around them. The life they are about to embark upon. I know that my father once told me, ‘Your eyes see more than you can comprehend, and the acknowledgement of that gateway by the receiver of ‘the gift’ is a first step on whether the ‘The Recruiter’ allows you to take full possession of that ‘awareness’.

Seeing is not believing. Seeing is your receipt of ‘the testing documents’ and whether you pass or fail is based solely on your understanding of the material (what you saw or thought you saw) that the test is based upon.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, I should not believe what my eyes or for that matter my ears tell me?

Mother Sayer: No, you should not take as truth your initial feedback of the world in front and around you.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know this part. Because the human mind acts on emotions and not reason in traumatic events.

Mother Sayer: Precisely! (Mother smiles internally again because she doesn’t want to short circuit this discussion and transferal of knowledge to Sarah by stroking her ego).

It is not the complete assessment I’m afraid to tell you. It’s a start to know where the phrase came from ‘keeping your head while others around you are losing theirs’. It is the ability to create what happened in an event in your mind before you even arrived on the scene.

This is partially what you see on a good detective drama where the investigators reconstruct the events from start to finish to determine how the incident started.

Sarah W. Certainty: So I need to see the things that happened before I get there?

Mother Sayer: Yes.

Sarah W. Certainty: The wheels are turning in my head, but I want to hear more of what you’re saying. Do you have time to still talk to me now?

Mother Sayer: Yes dear, it’s only about 1030. I will order lunch and we will talk all afternoon if necessary because I’m enjoying your company as well.

Sarah W. Certainty: (This makes Sarah smile and she is now hooked on the meaning of good company from this Black woman). I’m glad you feel that way Mother.

Mother Sayer: (To hear Sarah call her Mother makes her enjoy her company even more). Thank you for calling me Mother. It is a tradition in the Black community that is disappearing. When all the children in the village or neighborhood respected all Mothers, and called them with this name of great honor.

It held great sway and meaning that it wasn’t just the Mother in your home that deserved your respect. All Mothers in the village were deserving of respect and honor. This brought forth a transference of knowledge that stabilized the entire village.

‘Where one didn’t know, the others surely would know.’ In other words, don’t just care about the people inside the walls of your house. Sometimes parents don’t distribute knowledge as freely as they should because of long held beliefs. They are misguided in their thinking which made it critical that children could learn the things they needed to know righteously in their own ‘backyard’.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh.

Mother Sayer: Let me tell you what I learned from a couple of classmates of mine at the University of Louisville and later at Howard University College of Medicine.

It’s about the right to vote. The disconnect the voter feels his vote had in actual consequences directly resulting from his vote. Lastly the politician receiving the vote is solely to blame after the vote is cast.

Victor was his name. I met him my sophomore year and we hit it off. He became a good friend. A layman advisor whose knowledge about the hardships of life I clung to because honestly, I wasn’t hungry a day in my life.

Sarah W. Certainty: He opened your eyes, per se, to what it felt like to be without?

Mother Sayer: Yes, he did. I remember one statement he made to me as if it was stuck in a constant loop in my mind. He said, “Se’May, when I reached the age where I was aware of my surrounding and could process them to reach a conclusion. I knew I was in trouble.”

I asked him, Victor, “How were you in trouble. You had a home and both your parents were there.”

Victor said to me, “My father told us doing a critical time when resources were scarce that ‘He was the only one working, so he was the only one needed to eat.’

Sarah W. Certainty: Wait, before you go on. His father told him he didn’t give a crap if he ate or not. In essence there were limited resources and as long as the father ate; he didn’t give a shit if the children ate?

Mother Sayer: That’s right Sarah, Victor grew up in a home where his father was the biggest guy in the house and him and his brothers and sisters looked like they were from South Africa.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay, wow that is hard for me to believe.

Mother Sayer: Yeah, it sort of lends a certain perspective to the phrase, ‘my kids come first’ huh?

Sarah W. Certainty: So what happened, how did he manage to get to college? How did he pay for it?

Mother Sayer: Victor told me that that is when he laid into the books. He dove so deep that he was able through his efforts to land scholarships that paid for all his education. He worked of course at the college, but he told me that he knew he wasn’t going to get any help from his parents.

Sarah W. Certainty: What did he study? I mean what did he choose to study to find a job?

Mother Sayer: He majored in nursing with a minor in philosophy. Let me tell you, I’ve never met a more focused and determined man in my life after hearing what he came through to get to college. Most young Black men focus below the waist and not above the neck, I’m afraid.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay, what did he tell you about voting?

Mother Sayer: Well he always spoke in analogies and philosophical metaphors. Anyway, this is what he told me.

Okay, so your vote is private and the impact of your vote doesn’t make any noise. So, you subscribe to the philosophy that “Just because I threw the rock that broke the glass, it doesn’t mean it’s my fault for the glass breaking. The glass was just too weak to handle the rock crashing against it.” The two solid objects reacting together is meaningless. My vote and the politician to which I rendered it; we both have no obligation to it not being a destructive combination.

In other words, the citizenry has been taught quite well to be desensitized to the consequences of voting. ‘Voting has been attacked and is always under attack’ Victor would say. Voting is permission I’m afraid. Just because people don’t like the fact that their elected officials don’t do everything they said doesn’t relieve them of the responsibility for voting for that person.

‘Voting is force.’ When we vote, we are using force to push for the change we want to see in the world around us. Casting your vote in the booth doesn’t absolve you of the ballot you’ve just cast. It makes you responsible for it.

This is the kicker. Victor would go ballistic on those people who would say that their vote is ‘private’. He would respond to that statement with this. “Your vote is private huh. So how do you explain the reasoning that you only expected good things from your candidate when clearly your candidate promoted the opposite.”

He would get in their crap about these voters now trying to escape the consequences of their actions by now being ‘fed up’, ‘disgusted’. Oh, this is a good one. ‘Unaware’ that my candidate harbored those policies. ‘I didn’t know he would push that agenda’.

Victor would say these were all ‘cop outs’. Now that the force of your vote is disabling hard fought civil rights and human decency; it’s suddenly real. ‘It’s no more funny when a child curses the second, third, or fourth time is it?’

Sarah W. Certainty: I must admit I’ve never thought of voting as force.

Mother Sayer: Well your reaction and understanding mirrors my limits in that time of my life. I didn’t fully grasp what he was talking about either.

I fully understand what he means now. It is human nature to stand or support something you believe in because you got a little snippet of information. It is still your responsibility to fully understand the action you are about to take and the ramifications it holds in the lives of us all.

Voting is not a private matter. If you are ashamed to tell us who you voted for, you shouldn’t be allowed to speak on behalf of anybody you feel has now been harmed by your candidate. That’s like saying, ‘I bought a gun for protection at home, but I leave it lying around so if my kids find it and shoot themselves; it wouldn’t be my fault.’

Sarah W. Certainty: That’s what I’ve heard many times. ‘Voting is a private thing.’

Mother Sayer: How can something be private if the combination of many ‘private’ things affect more than just yourself? Private is something like whether or not you shave your ‘butt hairs’.

(Mother knew she would get a grin out of Sarah, but she presses on with her thought anyway).

Private is whether or not you and your partner engage in kinky sex. Private is telling your partner a lie about the number of partners you’ve had in your life.

There’s no privacy in the public realm. These decisions have reality attached and that is how ‘voting’ has been perverted into a simple act of marking a ballot, or pulling a level. Then without involvement or association with the implication of who would use that vote. Simply just walk out of the voting place detached from the act and go home.

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes, I’ve seen a lot of poor people and even I’ve wondered how or what put them there. It does make me now wonder why they stay there?

Mother Sayer: Good question Sarah. I believe the cause is suspended motion. A definition I believe applies to the scourge of poverty. ‘Association brings about assimilation.’

If you stay in the company of people who don’t want to change their station in life, you will certainty share their fate. If you are the engine of change and the people in your life do not wish to follow your lead, I would advise separating yourself from them or share their fate.

Poverty also can falsely cause someone to believe that love makes a person choose what’s best for them. This is a destructive lie!

Sarah W. Certainty: I thought love holds it all together?

Mother Sayer: Like a seamstress attaching two or more parts to make a cherished garment?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes, something like that.

Mother Sayer: Many factors come into play when you try to put anything together. Whether the materials and colors blend, for example, when you refer to a garment. Whether a husband or wife can make it work if they are thinking of marriage.

One or both pieces must feel right or by reason be the only pieces that will fit. It takes perspective as well to combine two separate lives. I’ve often wondered what makes it possible?

Sarah W. Certainty: So, you believe it is a presence or force that turns our minds to following a path together?

Mother Sayer: Yes, I believe it takes a person able to see beyond his or her eyesight. The eyes do not tell the whole story. It takes the mind, the brain interpreting the feedback.

Sarah W. Certainty: So, you want somebody capable of holding all your divisions, products or endeavors together. Someone able to process changes, both new and old, and see how they would fit into the vision of The ARC?

Mother Sayer: Exactly! It is difficult to be the only one knowing what you want, or the only one knowing where you want to take your company. I need more help. Victor showed me the power of the philosophical disciplines. I know their value. I want their value working for me at The ARC.

Sarah W. Certainty: Okay, where do we find them? How many do you want?

Mother Sayer: Through contacts and remember I’m a graduate of UofL. I could use as many as I can get.

Sarah W. Certainty: I don’t think the males would like to be called a seamstress.

Mother Sayer: (Laughing a little). I know. We’ll call the male candidates tailors. So, these positions will be held by a Seamstress or a Tailor.

Sarah W. Certainty: It makes sense. Before you ask. My answer is yes. It makes sense when you’re looking at sustainability. How are you going to pick from the many applicants you’re going to get?

Mother Sayer: Good question. I will put to paper my thoughts on what I believe The ARC should stand for. Then I’ll put to paper the probing questions to ask all the fine applicants I’ll receive.

Sarah W. Certainty: Oh, you’re not gonna stop now. Tell me how you’re going to do this?

Mother Sayer: Huh, first I need to select the men and women who can understand that memorizing and reciting a set of principles reveals to me you may not believe them. ‘Principles and morals aren’t written on a note pad or flash card for quick reference.’

‘You can’t recall them in the heat of the moment from memory either. The display of principles must be instantaneous and without shadow of turning’. Something I learned from the U.S. Army.

Sarah W. Certainty: Wow! That’s deep Mother.

Mother Sayer: I have to have people that believe in the cause and know which action to take when challenged with questionable situations. I don’t need people that need time to think about it. They either know what’s right and what’s wrong, or they don’t.

It’s as simple as that.

Sarah W. Certainty: The food is here Mother; let’s eat.

Epilogue:

(It is a cherished practice. One I’ve learned from Mr. Ableman Sayer quite well. ‘You also need someone you trust. Someone capable of sticking with you mentally to bounce ideas and hash out your thoughts.’

He was right. Also, Sarah came to me through a dumb act of mine, her Father, Don Se’Stone and her mother, Sparklett Stone, decided she could use a fresh viewpoint. I’m glad they made that decision.

Sarah, growing up in that house, she had to see and hear things that probably would frighten the impressionable senses out of a child. She came through that we an inner toughness I want in my many positions to held by a seamstress or a tailor. The best I will take to serve as my own trinity.

My very own three-person ARC Council).

Episode Nine: Time Trials

Mother S. Sayer: The ARC of Time

Episode Nine: Time Trials

Prologue:

(‘It has been eventful’ she thinks this is what her father would say if he were here. There have been some successes in the form of a new shower assist caddie (sac). The line of ethnic oriented greeting cards is coming along slowly. Many listeners appreciate my weekly radio broadcast (on A.M. Radio of course) that chronicles all the energy and time demands to raise a family while expanding a business. Let’s see how Mother Sayer was able to get out of this all important and highly critical phase of making her ‘creation dreams’ a reality.)

(It has a been a long two weeks. Deciding on office space, furniture, phone service to fit and bond with my plans were important. The location relative to downtown Louisville would assist in keeping startup costs in check. I need the exercise and besides, being able to drop in on the halls of civic leadership has its’ merits. “Keep knocking those tasks off the ‘to do list’ one by one”, she says. Be mindful of the fact that there are children watching my every move as well. It is critical I get it right she thinks.)

Mother Sayer: (The children are registered in Barrett Traditional Middle School for the school year beginning in Fall 2010. I will let them chill a little while longer, but when the calendar turns to August; I will require more of them than a brief report on each chapter of the book I assigned to them.)

Justus. Doyenne. Breakfast is ready. Come and eat while it’s hot. (The clock says 7 am, but more importantly it is not so late in the day that the children can get spoiled.)

Justus: When does school start Mother?

Mother Sayer: It starts on August 16. That is when you all will get the chance to increase your abilities for survival in this country.

Doyenne: Survival Mother?

Mother Sayer: (She scopes the puzzled look on her daughter. She sees the same out of the corner of her right eye on Justus. Good.)

Children, why is there a table here in the kitchen?

Justus: So we can set our plates on it? (His statement is formed as a question to shield himself if his answer is wrong.)

Mother Sayer: And you Doyenne? Why do you think there is a table here in the kitchen?

Doyenne: I don’t know Mother.

Mother Sayer: I need you to give me an answer Doyenne, now.

Doyenne: To put our chairs up under it so we can reach our food? (Also, formed as a question to shield her mind from being wrong.)

Mother Sayer: (This is what I expected from my children as I’ve established the lines of authority here, but I’ve not enabled my children to question their surroundings. I relish the responsibility of this duty. It was performed by my Father with the zeal of a lion feeding his pride. I will do no less.)

Children, there is a table here to keep you from having to sit on the floor to eat. It prevents you from having to set your plate on the ground. Your cup, your spoon and silverware. Now this is an evolution from the days when humankind ate and shared what they caught in groups on the ground.

This is not to say that the practice is wrong or beneath you to do. I’ve eaten many times my food while sitting on the ground with my fellow soldiers in the Army.

(Mother pauses to look intensely in the eyes of her children for any sign this little talk is resonating. Well, we have many more lessons to fill the vastness of time.)

Very good then, let’s eat because I must get to work and figure out a few more things to start off this week. Okay.

Justus: Yes Mother.

Doyenne: I understand Mother.

Interlude:

(Mother needed very little swaying in the importance of raising her children properly as she pursues the massive breath of her dreams for her life and her business. What was said to her made sense, and Mother is not one to need a whole lot of time to figure out if the words ring with truth.

“It is not required of you to make a choice between your children or how you must take care for them. Working is a given. What you cannot dismiss is this fact. Only the foolish and unlearned when they are faced with demands on their time; choose to pick one (themselves) over the other (children) and not understand that everybody in the family must win.

Children need their fair share of ‘time’ which is crucial to their proper rearing. It is these unwise people who refuse to parent that have caused each established ‘system’ to be overburdened with unassigned duties. If you don’t know how to parent, ask somebody that is doing it right to teach you.

Mother knew when she looked at her children that she couldn’t let them ‘flap in the wind’ because she had a mission. No. That is why there were rules she had to follow in her father’s house, and it is because of those rules she is who she is today. Her father brought her with him ‘in the way that she should go’ and she will not depart from it. Ever!)

Mother Sayer: (The children caught the bus and waved to their Mother as they rode on their way to school.). Okay, let’s get this day started.

(The drive to work seems a bit accelerated today. Maybe the list of things I must do is becoming jumbled in my head causing these feelings of disconcertion. I knew this was coming and I know the countermeasures I must employ to dissipate the tendency to let my efforts wander ‘off the road’ per se. To put it simply I just need to follow the plan and keep stepping off. I will stop by the Sayer Trucking Repair Station and see how things are going first though.)

Mother Sayer: Calvin, Son Skyy, Blinner, how are things going? (She says it in a folksy tone that is important and implying that they run the shop while I keep them out trouble.)

Calvin: Mrs. Sayer, it is good to see you. All is fine here. What’s up?

Son Skyy: The shop is running well. How are you Major?

Blinner: We are all okay. How are you doing Mother? There is something I want to run by you if you have time right now.

Mother Sayer: Very good then, you are looking good Calvin. Skyy, Blinner, the day agrees with you both. (Calvin is a holdover from the days when her father ran the business. A fine young black man in his late twenties now who’s benefited from the right tutorship.

Son Skyy I met in the Army. My Humvee needed repairs and I went down to the motor pool to help my soldiers finish the work. I saw the love of mechanical work in his eyes which flowed down through his body to make his hands do superior work. This Korean could elevate a team of professionals beyond just a repair job. I knew I had to have him work with me someday.

Blinner was from Louisville. She grew up in PRP, Pleasure Ridge Park, the neighborhood where mixing of the races was a work in progress. It had to work for her because she was the child of a Black woman and a Japanese man.)

Mother Sayer: Blinner. (She motions for her to walk with her and she tours the shop like she is ‘trooping’ the line).

Mother Sayer: What’s up? You need anything? Any new license or zoning certifications for the shop?

Blinner: No Mother, all that’s good. I do want to update you on the locations of the other two shops and when you can meet with the landowners.

Mother Sayer: Please, tell me.

Blinner: The two sites that fit the specifications are Eastern Parkway/Bardstown Road and Cane Run Road/Algonquin Parkway. The lots are both empty now with the surrounding land on each plenty for expansion. The zoning and licenses will be hefty along with the construction and work it will take to secure environmental approval.

I trust you’re cultivating relationships now with City Hall? You will need them.

Mother Sayer: Good. Please get with the ARC’s lawyers and draft an offer sheet for both properties. Meet with the owners and present it to them. If at any time a part of this process you feel you cannot handle, let me know and I’ll get someone else to do it. Understand?

Blinner: You want me to complete this process for you?

Mother Sayer: (Good she was listening. An important trait to possess in this business.). That sounds like someone thinking they were just a surveyor only there to hand their findings over to the contractor for final disposition to close and start building. Are you just a surveyor?

Blinner: No no Mother. I thought you were just testing my ‘around the town ability’ to envision something for what it could be. I…

Mother Sayer: (Mother waves her hand to stop Blinner from proceeding). Blinner, I don’t have time, money or resources for repetitive orders to several people to eventually grow my company.

Can you do the job or not?

Blinner: Yes yes Mother. I can.

Mother Sayer: Keep me in the loop. (As she says her goodbyes she rubs the right shoulder of Blinner with her left hand and squeezes as if to dissipate some of the shock).

(Mother arrives at her modest office in the middle of downtown Louisville. She parks her car in her designated spot and immediately adds parking to her planning.)

Mother Sayer: Good morning Sarah. How’s the morning going for you.

Sarah W. Certainty: It is brisk. I have the revenue for the past three months and the figures you asked for regarding expansion of the mechanical shops. Time to build which includes breaking ground and acquiring all zoning and legal documents are in the package.

Ms. Blinner called asking if you were in the office earlier. I told her you hadn’t made it in yet.

Mother Sayer: How did she sound? Was she anxious?

Sarah W. Certainty: She did sound a little annoyed. Now whether her thoughts started to materialize through the phone line I would have to say yes. She was anxious to talk to you and get things approved I would say.

Mother Sayer: Good. (The tone I wanted to set is blooming. Time is the key and as far as I’m concerned, I don’t have eternity to make things happen.)

Sarah W. Certainty: I’m beginning to understand how things are getting done around here. Although not with a degree of certainty that brings me comfort, but I’m sure I will get there.

2^nd Interlude: Se’May’s Trouble

(It was a time I felt invincible. The business of fixing trucks was solid. My father’s loan was long which opened a lot of doors and pressed a lot of flesh. Maybe this should have turned on a ‘slow beep that would intensify as I got closer and closer to hitting a wall’. Nevertheless, I charged forward to danger just like the military trained me. All the while I knew to consider each aspect of the task ahead of me; I chose to ignore every warning if success would be the outcome.

That’s how it happened. I made inroads in the business of products and had contracts set up to make them and I had shelf space in local stores. This new supplier came highly recommended and he checked out. I didn’t know he had connections to the local crime boss. Don Se’Stone he called himself. My supplier was Laine Goone. Yeah, don’t give me crap for that. I know now it chimes the tone of cowbells.

He seemed like an upstanding Italian businessman to me, but what do I know about dealings of the criminal underworld. My father never took me below the surface and I never asked about anything else sordid after he told me his FBI deal. I know when this is over to spend the time to get up to speed on that part of life.

Mr. Goone said he could get me the raw material at a reduced cost. I needed the savings to make the ‘surface buckle’ floor cleaning system cost effective for the consumer market. Man, was I wrong. After I gave him a third of the cost to acquire the raw materials, he immediately said he needed more money. His explanation sounded suspicious and I told him no. That refusal caused him to suspend my contract and I forfeited all the money I gave him up front.

I hit the roof. I called Mr. Goone and threatened to sue him and he just laughed and hung up the phone in my face. I paid a visit to him in his office with my lawyer. He had his lawyer and what looked like a couple of ‘goons’ with him. This tactic didn’t work either. Unbeknownst to me my father was monitoring the whole situation.

Mr. Sayer, my father, had called Don Se’Stone and agreed to a meeting with Mr. Goone two days after I had my ‘I mean business’ meeting with Goone. I didn’t know who would be showing up when I got the message from Mr. Goone’s office that he wanted to meet with me again. I said yes.

I got the call on Tuesday. The meeting was Thursday at noon. I will now recollect the dialogue from the actual participants at that meeting.).

Mother Sayer: Can you tell Mr. Goone I am here?

Secretary: Sure, Mrs. Sayer, right?

Mother Sayer: Yes, it is.

(The secretary leaves for a moment and when she returns she escorts Mrs. Sayer into Mr. Goone’s office.).

Mr. Goone: Come in Mrs. Sayer, I didn’t expect to have this meeting with you, but when I heard that you wanted to give me the rest of the money I asked for I just felt I had to arrange the meeting.

Mrs. Sayer: Money? I didn’t come here to give you any more of my money. There must be some mistake because I was told you would be returning the money I gave to you?

(Don Se’Stone and Father Ableman Sayer were watching when Mother Sayer entered the building. They waited five minutes and walked into the building.).

Secretary: Mr. Don, I didn’t know you were coming. (Her words spoken with pausing through every other word.). Go right in.

(Suddenly the door clicks open. Don Se’Stone and Mr. Sayer walks into Goone’s office.).

Mr. Goone: Don Se’Stone, I didn’t know you were here. My secretary didn’t tell me we were meeting today?

Don Se’Stone: Shut up Goone. I hear you let on to this young lady that you had contacts and contracts even I didn’t know you had. Is that true?

Mr. Goone: It’s nothing Don. I mean its’ nothing because I don’t have anything, I mean.

Don Se’Stone: So you don’t have contacts in South America that could export raw materials so this lady can manufacture her product?

Mr. Goone: No Don, no I don’t.

Don Se’Stone: So give her her money back. What was it ma’am, $45,000 dollars?

Mother Sayer: Yes it was.

Mr. Goone: I don’t have it on me now.

Don Se’Stone: You need to give it to her now. (He says it with the assurance of consequence if it is not done.).

Mr. Goone: I promise I will give her money back to her.

Don Se’Stone: Don’t bother, you’re sure you don’t have it in this shitty office do you?

Mr. Goone: No I don’t have it.

Don Se’Stone: Don’t worry, I have it right here. Mrs. Sayer, here’s your money. I hope you decide to never do business with this man again.

Mrs. Sayer: Father?

Ableman Sayer: We will talk later, take it and go. Give it to me.

Mother Sayer: Give you what Father?

Father Sayer: Give it to me right now!

Mother Sayer: (Mother thinks, how did he know I had a gun on me?). I’m sorry Father.

Father Sayer: It’s okay Se’May. Take your money, leave this office and never return.

Mother Sayer: Father. (Se’May starts to cry.).

Father Sayer: No no Se’May, we all will make mistakes in our life. I know your choice to deal with this man was borne out of doing some good in this world. (Ableman sees Se’May’s tears running down her cheeks and he says to her.).

“At least one of us should go before the Father & Mother of lights and not be a disappointment”

Mother Sayer: Father.

Father Sayer: Go on, I love you, we’ll receive the ‘blot’ for this one.

Don Se’Stone: Mr. Goone, I now have the contract. You’ve just borrowed $45,000 dollars from me at 50 percent a week. Next Friday is your first payment. Don’t be late.

End: 2^nd Interlude

Mother Sayer: Sarah, I was taken aback by the sudden and abrupt way we came to meet. When I walked out of Goone’s office I saw your Mother wave to me. I didn’t know who she was at the time, but I knew it must have something to do with what just happened in that office.

Sarah W. Certainty: I remember. I was there in the limo. You came in and sat down. My Mother offered you a Courvoisier and she made her pitch to you.

(This conversation took place right outside Mr. Goone’s office on that same day.).

Sparklett Stone: Mrs. Sayer, how are you? While we’re waiting for my husband to come back and take us shopping. I wanted to talk to you and see if you could do me a favor.

Mother Sayer: Mrs. Stone, I just met you. I don’t know what I could do for you?

Sparklett Stone: Oh, it’s about my daughter. We feel she needs to be in the presence of a woman, like yourself. Do you know how my husband and your father met?

Mother Sayer: No.

Sparklett Stone: They met during the Korean War.

Mother Sayer: Oh.

Sparklett Stone: Don’t allow the time period to formulate any impressions on who those two men are. They were probably made by the Gods to drive the likes of everyone they would meet crazy. I’ve never seen two men accept their realities and flourish beyond their given origins.

Trust me sister, Italians may not have had it as bad as Negroes, but we weren’t that far behind in discrimination and utter manmade evil put upon us. That is why I believe they bonded so quickly and always sought each other out on whatever missions they had in the Army.

Mother Sayer: (Smiles at this information because her father didn’t speak much about his time in uniform or his tour in Korea.). I understand Mrs. Stone. What would you like me to do?

Sparklett Stone: I want you to hire my daughter. Sarah, this is Mrs. Sayer.

Mother Sayer: Hello Sarah.

Sarah: Hello Mrs. Sayer.

Sparklett Stone: What time does she need to be there Monday?

Mother Sayer: (Sighs to herself.). 8:00 am would be fine. Do you know where my company offices are? (Immediately when she said this she knows it was a stupid question.).

Sparklett Sayer: It was nice to meet you Mrs. Sayer.

(That is how that conversation went. It was not a bad meeting by any measurement, but it was payment for getting me out of a jam of my own making.).

Mother Sayer: Yes, I remember your Mother. A strikingly beautiful and intoxicatingly intelligent woman of formidable presence.

Sarah W. Certainty: I know. How would you like to grow up trying to be like her and failing at every recreation of her mannerisms?

Mother Sayer: I will keep that in mind with my daughter and son. Now in the year and a half you’ve been under my employment; I’ve seen your growth. Assertiveness doesn’t appear naturally just because we speak it. It has to be pulled by the limbs to make the roots come up far enough to entangle themselves around your flesh.

Sarah W. Certainty: I didn’t mean I wasn’t happy she turned me over to you. Mother, I was in conflict for most of my formative years having a Mother who was so extraordinary. My processing of my environment was taxing to say it mildly, but I’m so glad that I got a few of her genes that kept my sanity intact long enough to fight through to some light.

I was starting to come into my own when she told me what she had planned. I felt apprehensive about it at first because human beings have a healthy dislike of change, but I knew I was getting somewhere and I didn’t want to regress.

I agreed and put my best optimistic face on and went with my Father and Mother.

Mother Sayer: (Even more linkage to time. These trials have an extreme association with time. Can they not be untangled? Is it part of the fabric of reality itself? Of space itself that our time trials must occur?). Have I been a good example for you to follow?

Sarah W. Certainty: You have been a guidance that without it I could not have steadied my footing. The encounter could not be more evident. What I precisely needed at that nexus point in my war to be the woman I am today was to meet you. More proof that my Mother could take the measure of everyone and know what is right for them.

Mother Sayer: Yes Sarah, even I felt her aura as I sat briefly in that limo. Your Mother’s love knew she needed to give you to another teacher that could change the dynamics of your training. In other words, relieving the duality of thinking about pleasing your Mother and gaining the mental skills you needed to become who you wanted to be.

Good parenting can do that to their children. Better parenting can see the struggle to emulate them in their children’s eyes and do something about it. My reading of your Mother’s actions is helping me even though we spoke only about you while you were sitting there. What an impressive woman!

Sarah W. Certainty: Mother Sayer. I can say with a certainty something very clearly. My Mother was right to place me in your care. She took me as far as she could. I understood she had a lot to contend with being married to my Father. She needed space to keep everything under control, and dealing with a grown daughter that needed to learn a few more things was diluting her strength.

Mother Sayer: More gracious words have never landed on my ears. I’ve come to love you Sarah, probably more than I will ever love my own daughter. You bring respect and honor to your family name.

Sarah W. Certainty: Well, I think I’ve taken up enough of your time this morning. Ms. Blinner, you must have taken care of her before you arrived?

Mother Sayer: You will be just fine Sarah. Let me freshen up a bit and I’ll be back to start going over the planner for today.

Epilogue:

(The day went as well as expected. The late afternoon and evening with Doy and Justus was slanted heavily to conversation and expansion of thinking. Doy was asking what she should do when she sees someone being picked on because they sit by themselves. Justus was asking could he try out for the basketball team.

Doy’s question was answered with a question. I asked her if she was stranded at the train station in a foreign country would she want some assistance. She said Mother, of course, if I don’t speak the language I want someone to help me.

Justus question was a question of whether his education would suffer should he start playing sports. I helped him analyze the time requirements and could he meet each obligation with the same zeal of purpose. He of course said yes after some brief thought. I, as his Mother said to him, if at any time your education is in doubt. Do you understand?

Justus said yes. These waypoints on the path to adulthood are familiar to me because my Father spared nothing in his rearing technique. He paid attention to me and to all his children. None of us could say he didn’t give us his love and his time, but he didn’t choose one over the other. He thought that was trifling to even flirt with such foolishness.

Father Sayer would say, “If I didn’t need to work, God would not have written it as such. If I didn’t want the responsibility of children, I understood I had to keep my pants zipped up and on. I needed to work and I needed to teach, and I knew they were flip sides of the same coin.”

I didn’t see him complain about his ‘time trials’, so I’m definitely not going to complain about my own.

Confirmation Hearing

Let’s start with a well-known hazard that children disbelieve until the feedback proves prophetic. A hot stove. The brain doesn’t have to send signals to the hand, receive it back, and then send emergency instructions to the hand to jerk it away does it? It’s an instantaneous reaction, isn’t it? Alright, that was an easy one. What about obedience? That one can prove tricky for children because they are endowed with intelligence and misdirection (it seems to be done purposely to annoy parents) only to test the devotion of our parenting skills.

Children don’t drop your clothes on the floor. Please chew your food with your mouth closed. When you want something please open your mouth and ask politely. I’ve taught you the proper way to wash your behind (meaning the entire body all over) and brush your teeth to be presentable at home and in public. So far, these lessons have been heard by children and for the most part practiced with fidelity. Can we confirm that children have been instructed in the way that they should go? That’s not a trick question. Okay parents, let’s come back to that one.

Now we progress to when human beings hit the 10-year mark. It happens rather forcefully wouldn’t you say. The age of ascension is what I call it. When parents say “that child has a mind of his own.” Although I reached awareness I’d say at age 13 (not precisely of course), the new sensations of puberty and the discovery that I could be aware of my surrounding were cascading across the surface of my mind. I tried desperately to open my understanding so I could capture this fresh input, but sadly I didn’t have the experience to know how to fully explain all this new input at the time.

Maybe it was a blessing to not know what I didn’t know, or maybe my approach was flawed. In any case, I had to seek counsel from the adults (parents) in my life; and this posed a problem as some topics in the late 70’s and 80’s you still couldn’t approach your parents for answers. Yeah yeah I know, but I had to try. What I’d ended up doing was setting out to find the information for myself. So, very quickly this is what I found out. On the topic of sexual activity. Sex is not free nor is it without peril. I learned this from a woman whose timely advice prevented me from having out of wedlock children. She said and I quote, “Do not finish in her, learn to pull out if you don’t want children.” Could I confirm receipt of this order? I’d say yes. I didn’t have any children until I got married.

Returning now to the education and employment track I can assert that I heard and adhered to the advice from my teachers who spoke to me about employment viability attached to a diploma. Good call I’d say, staying in school to complete that twelfth lap in my run to success in supporting myself. Can I get confirmation in writing that I’ve completed 13 years of school to include kindergarten? It is confirmed by a document called a high school diploma. All the warnings and admonitions are relayed to all children. Whether they heeded the possible consequences that could arise if they ignored the advice, along with the difficulty in finding suitable employment are evident in their standard of living. Documentation that signifies completion of 12 years of general education is in my possession. Confirmed? Yes, it is confirmed.

Off on you own now and oh my gosh, what the heck does that mean? Well let’s look at the possible lifestyles of those kids that didn’t listen because they knew everything. I get to do everything my way now and I’m so confident of my success that it’s falling off me in abundance. Wait. Okay, well what do you mean “I’m not qualified for the position.” Sir, we’re looking for a candidate that has a bachelor’s degree or 5 years of work experience in the field. Next job wants somebody with 2 years experience. This job is asking for an aptitude test and they’re going to pick from all the applicants with the best scores. Whoa, this is not good.

I’m feeling an unusual sensation. My anxiety levels are quickly bending into the intolerable range. I’ve created a host of responsibilities. This includes a pregnant girlfriend. A rented apartment. A small car note that if I include insurance runs about $500 a month. In this day and age, I need internet service. What about medical care and food to feed two and a half people? A cell phone. Power and water. Gas to fill my car to keep searching for a job.

Consequences of not listening to sound wisdom and advice. Confirmed. Well, since the ‘Arc of Time’ is ever circling as one of the established foundations of the Universe itself; I have the power within me to correct my headstrong arrogance. Do I not? Yes, yes you do my children. It is often the case that the strength of youth casts a beguiling spell that renders reason and a practical approach to life elusive. Never fret, mistakes are solvable with a simple course correction.

Bring your mind into unison with your actions which means stop doing whatever pops into your mind if it is out of sync with your planning. Oh, I hope you figured that part out yourself? Write it down and start crossing it out as you fulfill each required duty. Remember this, it is very important. A plan isn’t meant to give false expectations that you will accomplish everything in a day, week, month or year. Know this, some of your plans will not come to fruition quickly. Some will require years of sacrifice to achieve. Yes, you are right that a college degree requires four years of sacrifice. Do you all understand me? I hope so.

If you are asking about Landcause.com and how it came into being? I’ve spent years developing the concept and taking counsel on how it should be done to reach the greatest number of people. During this journey, I realized one fact I’ve just shared with you. All plans and ideas are borne, but more importantly they need nurture which means feeding them until they mature. When it blossoms, then it provides the insight needed to make its’ presence consumable. Confirmed?

Listen, we all hear and not hear, but the cause of life is not to wait for us to confirm receipt of a spoken word at the right moment. When we are caught up in the wonder of ourselves, the admiration that others give us, or even the faulty math of our own arrogance. We still must build our own lives even if we believe others will do it for us. Afterwards comes the help of others because seeing is then believing that you are trying to get somewhere good.

What is that old saying? If you can’t help yourself, how can you help somebody else? Confirmed? My admonition is this to the young and the old. If you are in school, stay there and complete your duty. I am a year away from completing my Bachelor’s of Science in Philosophy. I don’t care how I do it because I am a family man with a lot on my plate and yes, I have responsibilities that cannot be shelved until I complete that duty. That degree will be achieved together with all my other duties. Confirmed?

Lastly, I will leave you with this. If you find yourself fighting and you are the only one in the room, there is your problem. Resisting what must be done is still failure. If you must acquire new skills to gain a higher standard of living, do it. If you don’t need a television, go to the library and check out some books and read to your family. Catch up on the news by the internet if you have that service. Eliminate redundancies if you can’t afford them. If you are the partner that is stronger, then take charge and bring your partner up to speed as one that cares. It’s not a requirement for both of you to be dominant (in ways that are good to get things done), only one of you must be. Confirmed?

Set your mind to what you want to accomplish and know that some of the things on that list will take years to come to fruition. You have it within you to do it. Whether you’re married, single, or in a relationship, it still must be done. Confirmed?

Episode Eight: In the Beginning

Prologue:

(Many things will trouble me in my lifetime. Mother Sayer thinks to herself that this statement is akin to telling yourself I need oxygen to breathe. A more important introspection would be to examine what are my defensive and offensive capabilities when I find myself faced with the inevitable ‘difficulties’ of life. She thinks, “It is more advantageous to embrace hardships because they will surely harden your skin.” Better yet, it is like stretching a cable to its snapping point and holding it until the ‘stress of the weight is absorbed’ and then held.

These analogies are indicative of the belief in ‘shields’ or a ‘coat of armor’. Protection is the theme and delivering on the promise of extending the life of the holder or wearer is of absolute importance. A shield or coat of armor then becomes more an offensive weapon because it allows the wearer then to concentrate on strategy that will enhance his or her keys to victory).

Mother Sayer: (Father, Mr. Sayer would need to sign with me to in order to get the start-up capital I need to begin my chapter of the family name. The telephone rings at her father’s house in Birmingham, Alabama). Hello Father?

Servant: No it is not. Who may I say is calling?

Mother Sayer: It is Se’May.

Servant: Ah, Se’May, I will summon your father immediately.

Mother Sayer: Thank you.

Father Sayer: This is Ableman.

Mother Sayer: Father, it’s Se’May calling. How are you? How are the children?

Father Sayer: Oh, Se’May. Your children are fine. What a joy to hear from you. Are you in town?

Mother Sayer: (Father is still father. I sure hope there is a lot of him in me because he knows I enjoy his council.). I will be soon father. I need to finish up my paperwork here on base and I will fly out on Friday done with my length of service in the Army.

Father Sayer: There is much to discuss about the last few years, not to mention your close call in Afghanistan.

Mother Sayer: I will be home soon Father, okay.

Father Sayer: See you Friday my beloved daughter. Goodbye.

Mother Sayer: Goodbye Father, see you soon. (Mother knew her father would need a better account of her time spent in the military. The military, she thought was an honorable way to serve the country that she knew would not return her loyalty evenly. It was never the less a time folding math problem that would solve her needs to learn many critical lessons about life (different cultures, leadership, conflict, etc.…) quickly. That is why she embraced every event, trial, difficulty and even the wear and tear on her shoes for clarity. Getting caught in a torrential downpour offered insight she thought. Now she would give the proper respect to her father, and she would ask him to believe in the future she would set in motion with a vengeance!).

Interlude:

(Mother’s plane lands in Birmingham on a bright sunny day and Mother thinks that life is constructed. Maybe it is constructed from the shards of past failures, or maybe life is forced into being by a determined will catapulted by movement that is voluntary or compelled. Whichever way it has to happen, my plan for my life will be realized. It is not enough to know you’ll be successful. I order it!).

It is a bright and sunny day in June 2008. Mother Sayer is glad she is wearing her sunglasses as she is making her way down to baggage claim with other passengers from her flight. She knows her father will pick her up, but she wonders if he will let Justus and Doy come to the airport. Oh well, I will see what’s what in a few anyway.

Mother Sayer: (She sees her father waving at her. Oh, he has them with him. Mother notices how inert her children are in the presence of her father. She can’t help but let out a chuckle and wave back at her father and the children). Father. It is good to see you again.

Father Ableman Sayer: It is most pleasing to see you Se’May. (He gives her a hug first before the children get a chance to corral her).

Mother Sayer: Children. My my my, I’m glad you’ve missed your Mother. Have you been behaving since I’ve been gone?

Doyenne: Yes Mother.

Justus: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: (She is struck by the children taking turns to talk. Huh? What has been going on this last year? Well, I’ll add it to the things I’ll discuss with Father). Good. Now, shall we go home Father?

Mr. Sayer: Yes. (Ableman turns to his driver and assistant and motions them towards the bags as they start to walk towards the parking deck). So, how was your flight?

Mother Sayer: It was okay for a ticket paid for by the military. I’d prefer to ride in first class, but they weren’t going to spring for that. Anyway father, I want to talk to you about some ideas and plans before I settle into a home back in our old city of Louisville, Kentucky.

Father Sayer: Okay, what do you want to talk about?

Mother Sayer: The main thing is that I want to start my own business. It will have different lines and forge into different industries.

Father Sayer: (Father gestures with a wave of hand). Yes. Why don’t we talk about it later tonight after dinner? We will not be disturbed by the children and you would’ve had a chance to settle in a little bit by then and get your strength.

Mother Sayer: (Mother nods in agreement as she knows her father practices age appropriate conversation protocol at all times). Well, I can’t wait to see your new place here in Birmingham. It must be nice. I know it fits your need for function over fashion.

Father Sayer: (He chuckles and knows it is true). All too well. I’ve made it a point to have a big yard, so it’s not in the city limits of Birmingham. It’s in Trussville. Yeah, you can call it a farm.

Mother Sayer: Excellent. I need the fresh air without the pressure. It should settle my thoughts nicely to know that I’m finally back around family.

Father Sayer: You are my child Se’May.

—In Trussville: Mister Ableman Sayer’s Home—

(The home is in a word. Identical. It is the embodiment of Ableman Sayer. The front porch is laid out like the observation deck of an ocean liner. It goes halfway around the house from right to left. It is covered with a retractable shade over the exit doors of each guest bedroom on the bottom floor. Only the master bedroom upstairs has a deck. The interior is like I said, functional. The door to the house is huge, at least double the size of a normal door. The entry hall is ten feet with no access to the house until you reach the doors to enter the home itself. These two doors are slanted toward the front door.

Like a half-dome, these doors open and close off the rest of the house from view. Entering the atrium, it is filled with paintings of historical significance to the Negro Race. Martin Luther King Jr., Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, Harriet Tubman, Emmett Tills mother, slavery and the instruments of oppression. Replicas of leg irons, whips, model size shacks (homes of a sort) indicative of the ones used to house the slave labor that drove the engine of economics in the deep south.

Father believes in “keeping in sight the horizon while standing in remembrance of what his people had to overlook for a glimpse of that beauty.”

Well, dinner will be ready in two hours. I’ll clean up and put my things away in my room while it’s cooking. It is good to be in the presence of my father again. We have much to discuss so I better get ready.

Dinner: A nice spread of Steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and collar greens. Cornbread and buttered rolls. Dessert included peach cobbler, strawberry and lime Jell-O, sweet potato pie and pound cake. The beverages were soda, water, red wine, and various moscato brands from Italy).

Mother Sayer: (Father sits at the head of the table. I sit at his right hand as an unspoken expectation permeates the air. Justus and Doy sit across from me. We all hold hands and say grace and begin to partake of the meal before us). A wonderful spread it is father.

Father Sayer: You deserve it. What have I taught you about climbing each layer in the journey of your life?

Mother Sayer: Father. As you reach a layer of success in your life, stay there until you are ready to climb higher. Do not negotiate failure with yourself. Do not say that you will be satisfied with a stumble that makes you fall a level or two lower. “Obtain ability to maintain stability.”

Father Sayer: (Smiles as he intensely watches his daughter as she speaks. He has spent years bringing her up in the way that she should go. Time well spent without a shadow of turning. Let’s hear what she desires of me). The meal, was it enjoyable Se’May?

Mother Sayer: Yes father, very much so, along with the wine made it quite satisfying.

Father Sayer: Good. Now what did you wish to ask me?

Mother Sayer: Children, you may leave the table. You can have your dessert on the patio if that’s alright with you father?

Father Sayer: Yes it is.

Mother Sayer: Father, I wish to set up my company in the place you got started. Louisville.

Father Sayer: Go on.

Mother Sayer: I know you left the business in the hands of your manager and lawyer. I need your help. More precisely your signature on a small business loan to insure the government that I have solid backing. The loan will be in my name and I will be completely responsible for paying it back. (Mother stops talking here. She allows her father time to let it set in his thoughts as he contemplates his answer. She knows her father doesn’t need a lot of time to make decisions).

Father Sayer: I thought you would never ask. I thought I may have pushed you too hard. (His voice starts to crack as he is overcome with joy).

Father Sayer: Yes yes, of course I will give you all the help you need to get going. I do have a requirement that is non-negotiable though.

Father Sayer: A three-day communion with you and on the fourth day you must leave. It is a ritual born of old and I’ve updated it to be gender neutral. This passage will cover everything and things you may already know. No pen or paper is necessary as everything you will be taught has to be remembered. You may take notes at the completion of each day if you wish.

Don’t worry, you’ll develop new techniques for situations you may encounter in your life. Probably what you’ll develop will be more adaptive and creative than anything I could’ve ever imagined.

Mother Sayer: Very well father, when do we start?

Father Sayer: Tomorrow morning after breakfast. Get a good night’s sleep okay. I’ve always thanked God for my good fortune. It is a great honor to have reared such a proper child. It’s like a kid having his own cookie jar.

Mother Sayer: Thank you father. Good night, I will see you in the morning.

Day One:

The June Sun is not for those who find hydrating tedious. It is 93 degrees Fahrenheit and 80 percent humidity. It’s feels like wearing an electric blanket over all your clothes while cooking over a fire pit. In any case, breakfast is finished and the day has begun.

Father Sayer: (Father goes right into his discussion with his daughter). Se’May, what I want to cover first is the humanity of business. There are always different dynamics at play in any operation be it large or small. What you will get from your people depends on what you say and more importantly what you show them.

Pay them well of course, but pay them more with your heart and your time. More satisfying dividends comes from the second part of that sentence.

Mother Sayer: (She knows that already. Father was right. Keep listening).

Father Sayer: I want to hit on the topic of vulnerabilities now. (Father sees a look of puzzlement on his daughter’s face, but he continues his oration).

When you make the choice to bear additional burdens, ‘the weight from the top puts pressure down below.’ Let me explain. Your mind carries these changes or their formulations until they are realized. Saying this is what I want is brave of you. Preparing for the onslaught of doubt and uncertainty separates let’s say ‘the women from the girls’.

Understand as well this, a crack; an opening is produced in what you are. Your mind is vulnerable in these moments. Unfortunately it is a necessity to fulfill the rule of growth. Granted, it is a flaw, but it is a flaw you must know how to conquer. The attack on your mind (confidence versus uncertainty) in these moments are not a sign of failure on your part, but a challenge that adds another layer, so to speak, to your abilities.

I can only tell you that you must get through these moments intact. Do you understand?

Mother Sayer: I have a few ideas on how to keep myself in check and gather new strength.

Father Sayer: Good. (He turns away smiling so his daughter does not see him). In conclusion of this topic, you need to remember that your body is willing to help you. Don’t be indifferent to the pain you’re undergoing. Don’t neglect it. Keep it in shape for the rigors it’s about to endure.

Mother Sayer: How long will this upheaval last father?

Father Sayer: (Yes, she is paying attention!). It only lasts overnight. The doubt or resistance last until you accept the fact that this is what’s required to get it done. We both know all of us are vulnerable to foolishness in the night more than in the daylight. If this pain or your striving is going off the rails, it is your duty to stop and ascertain the situation and solve whatever problem is preventing your progress. This is critical Se’May. Do you understand?

Mother Sayer: Yes Father.

Father Sayer: Now we turn our attention to business. “Repetition breeds familiarity, familiarity breeds efficiency”. It is not so crucial you get out of the gate like a thoroughbred; more importantly, it matters how consistent you are.

Don’t strive for perfection when your business is young. Listen to me now. (Pause). Your venture may look like ‘a reed bending every time a strong wind comes through’, but I suggest you use an analogy in that moment. Think of a newborn baby. It takes a few years for that baby to stop crapping on itself right? Your business will take a dump on itself now and then.

What do you do in that moment Se’May?

Mother Sayer: (I know my father sees me chuckle a bit at his analogy). I need to hold my nose and clean up the mess as I stay focused on the mission. The goal, I mean father.

Father Sayer: You spent 4 and a half years in the Army Se’May. I expect you to think and speak in terms according to your training.

Continuing on. It took you less than 3 years to get your Bachelor’s Degree in Biology. You finished nursing school in 2 years. The Army put you through a Master’s program and you finished that in another 2 years. That’s quite impressive for a 17-year-old starting college.

Mother Sayer: I learned my lessons well father. Being a child in your household was a blessing beyond measure or should I say, my fortune arrived early in life.

Father Sayer: You were given to me by the ‘All Father-Mother’ and I wasn’t going to fail the parent of us all.

As you reach a new level in life, stay at that level. Again, I tell you, do not negotiate with failure. Success is a relentless and demanding demi-goddess. You know some though, she can be mastered as well. By governing your mind, spirit, and body through faith in a higher being. Additionally, by discipline and living a life done decently and in order.

How you run your home is how you will run your business. I know you noticed how docile your children were at the airport? You did the right thing leaving them in my care. I didn’t put them through as much instruction, per se, as I did with you. They are 9 & 10 and the quicker you bring them up right; the better they will thank you for it when the dark times come in their lives.

By the way, how is your husband? Corenth Z. Stableman is his name?

Mother Sayer: (I didn’t expect my father to ask about my husband. I know he worries his legacy will not be allowed to shine and burn off some of the flaws lingering in this country. I carry his hope and I accept the scepter of continuity he has laid on me. If I do anything in my life, I will not forget one of my unspoken duties. The tearing down of strongholds restricting what an African American woman is and what she can do). Zar is cool. He is in that field in the Army that I don’t like to discuss much because it scares me.

We both married young and knew the consequences and accepted what both of us wanted to do with our lives. He is serving his country in his own way, and I am carrying on with the children as agreed.

Father Sayer: He is full of confidence, and he is a studious man. I know he needed to be to grab and hold your attention. Very well then. A few more things and we’ll close out Day One.

Mother Sayer: I’m ready father.

Father Sayer: Addition by Subtraction. The research you did to know what you’d be facing in college and complete it early. The same method you used I call addition by subtraction. It took what 120 or 130 hours to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. Each semester you completed subtracted from the school’s tally and added to your tally. “Every time you knock down a requirement, task, permit or expansion to meet growth head on. You are taking from the top of success, and manifesting your vision by laying the foundation to build from the ground up.”

In other words, don’t look at the task as this huge structure you have to build. Every building ever put up started with its’ foundation. Whatever your business stands on had better be solid.

Mother Sayer: Of course father.

Father Sayer: Let’s close out with the dangers of being alone without your husband around to satisfy your needs. There is no immunity to sex. How will you combat this truth?

Mother Sayer: Sex? Well, I guess I better have my own toys. (Her relationship with her father is clear. She is honest with him for he saw to it that she acquired all those life skills that she needed to thrive all over the world).

Father Sayer: Well, that’s part of it, but how you defend against a potent force as sex. I’ll tell you how. You give precedence to what you wish to accomplish. If you want to realize your dream of being a major presence on the world stage, then you have to respect the fact that all human beings need sex. You are no exception.

Do you understand?

Mother Sayer: Yes father. Do not underestimate my need for sex.

Father Sayer: Good. I think we’ve covered enough for one day. I’ll see you in the morning. Goodnight Se’May. (Father Sayer knew he wanted to cover as much as he could the first day in order to not have to pack the 3^rd day with so many sessions. Don’t need to hold her past say 3 pm on that day. She would need to pack and get the children ready to fly back with her. Note to self: Make sure you tell her not to deny to her children what she surely received).

Mother Sayer: Goodnight father. (Oh my God. I expected him to talk to me a little bit just to pass on some things he wanted me to know. Father is not playing with me. I’m glad I learned how to ‘flip that switch’ when I realize that somebody is serious.

Okay, let me review today’s discussions. I want more out of life than what I have now. A business is a heavy burden to take on. Therefore my life is going to undergo an ‘expansion’ of some sort. Huh, what do I know about things growing bigger?

Well it could be that when something expands ‘its’ outer shell becomes thinner’ until it settles into a larger size. So I must prepare for the stretching of my mind, which will result in me being vulnerable in that moment? Just believe it okay. Jeez.

Don’t have pity parties with myself. Set goals and keep knocking down requirements by addition by subtraction. I’m glad he put me through college, but what he doesn’t know I was scared to death of disappointing him.

That’s it! He want’s me to leave Thursday because he knows I probably would live my life by how he thinks I should live it. He wants me to live life the way I want. My father knows I must fully let go in order to achieve the goals I have for myself. Oooh, that man!

I got the other stuff pretty much as well, but there is no immunity to sex? I think I can reject a man better than any woman. Wait wait slow your roll girl. He said don’t think of yourself as something you’re not. Watch it now.

Take heed to all warnings just like you did when that idiot, I mean, that commanding officer of mine thought he could make me chicken out of my duty as an officer. I ran those convoys like the officer I was trained to be. I knew it could happen because I was told in Officer Candidate School to be ready for anything.

“Your survival and the survival of those under your command will depend entirely on you. Act like it is true at all times.”

Remember you got shot over there girl. Be diligent and focused in the matter of your goals. It is entirely up to you. That’s good for now. I need to sleep).

Day Two:

Prologue:

(Breakfast is served in the east room of the quaint yet mildly sprawling home of my father. The table is furnished with spicy sausage, hash browns, and orange juice spiced with a little Courvoisier to chase some of the grease off the stomach. Mother smiles a bit as she is surprised, but her surprise is an acknowledgment of love that her father keeps tabs on her.

The usual fruits and various tree nuts accent the morning meal as her children of course join them at the table. Afterwards, the children are excused and the two of them wander off to the porch to enjoy the breeze as the Sun is approaching 80 degrees before the clock strikes 10 o’clock a.m.).

Father Sayer: Well Se’May, let’s get going on Day Two.

Mother Sayer: Very good Father.

Father Sayer: I want to cover a bit more about sexuality and youth today. Then I want to turn to loyalty. Lastly I’ll talk extensively about enemies and how to out maneuver them. A topic of course with your exploits in Afghanistan you are quite familiar.

Mother Sayer: Please proceed father.

Father Sayer: First about your sexuality and being without your husband for prolonged periods of time. You must divert your energy allocated for that practice and channel it into your business. This will make you come off as stuck up or aloof. Your enemies, mostly males, will believe that when they see who they’re across the table from.

Mother Sayer: I need to play the card that is dealt me at all times if it is to my advantage of course.

Father Sayer: Yes that is right. If your gender is a weakness to your adversary, then use it against him. You are trying to collapse time and time is the key to everything. Time is also an adversary. I know, I see it in your face. Look Se’May, you are here because you are a proper child and whether you believe it or not; favor of the Gods are upon you so don’t contemplate it right now. Just take what I’m saying and remember it. It will hit you later.

Mother Sayer: Yes father.

Father Sayer: Oh, and one other thing about sex. One of the worst or troublesome stages of males and females is when they discover their sexuality.

It is a new phenomenon that occurs without a frame of reference. When the feedback occurs, the interpretation from the senses that this is pleasurable, it is often overwhelming to the majority of people that experience it.

Your children will not be immune to the various sensations either. That is why I believe there should be a righteous buckler of sorts. A person capable of calming and teaching a person about that part of their humanity. A parent or a righteous protective adult who has the child’s best interest at heart.

We know that left to their own discovery; a child or young adult can be manipulated by the exploitation of stimuli to their destruction. Now even if there is no one there to help a young adult who has passed puberty into maturity; it is critical that they learn to govern their body before having sex with somebody.

If not, then I know I’ve seen family and friends act like they were roaming dogs and cats every time something stimulated their sex organs. I’ll tell you now that that is a lost soul so foolishly lost that they actually believe that sex is the only element of love. Yeah Se’May, I’m sure you’ve have people think that everybody wants to sleep with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Pathetic I say. That’s a sad state of affairs for an adult to be in by not being able to live their lives above their waist.

Mother Sayer: I’ll certainly try to keep an eye out for that father. (She said that slowly).

Father Sayer: Okay loyalty. This is a powerful ally when it is cultivated carefully. Listen to me Se’May. Loyalty is not of the kind that you learned in the military where it is simply part of a code of behavior that leadership hope the ranks would adhere to it and practice it.

Loyalty in its’ purest state stands up families. It is a brace against turbulent forces. It is righteous and no betrayal is present because a leader requires of her people unquestionable character. Your people will give their all to you if you hold yourself accountable first to righteous deeds, and hold them accountable so that they present themselves in the same manner as do you.

What loyalty is not, and I have to explore the negative or the perverted side of it, is loyalty without truth. Don’t ever defend your people when they are wrong. Do you hear me?

Mother Sayer: Yes father.

Father Sayer: You can request of the other party in such a disagreement that the incident will be made right by you. The employee or associate of yours will be disciplined accordingly. All if the facts are clear your associate is in the wrong.

You will be surprised by the reaction of your associates when they know their leader will give a fair hearing and get both sides of the story before rendering any decision.

Father Sayer: When human beings know that they will be held to the highest standard, as close as humans can be with all their faults, they will try to reach for righteousness as best they can. Because pleasing someone who is fair to them will make them want to do better in their lives.

Mother Sayer: So I need to be their spiritual leader father?

Father Sayer: I’m glad you asked that question. Se’May hear me well on this aspect of life. Human beings may desire privacy and autonomy when they are a part of the masses, but when they are part of a group, a family, they will fight to keep that family secure. They will fight to keep that family safe and everlasting.

When they know that foolishness on their part will bring sorrow or harm to the family, to the leader, they will restrain themselves because they will not want to be shunned from such a family that is honorable, fair and loving to them. Structure is still necessary and may I say critical to achieve great success.

Mother Sayer: (Se’May’s understanding is growing now and her father notices the subtle awareness that is blooming in her eyes and body movements. She knows her training in the Army focused on team building and trust, but that was mandated by rank structure and obedience was required or there was consequences. This is beyond that she’s starting to contemplate it now).

Mother Sayer: You know I’ll be thinking about all this stuff you’re telling me for quite some time long after I leave on the fourth day father.

Father Sayer: Stop stop. I do not want you to halt your plans and only think about what we’re discussing here for even one day. I will say it again as I’ve told you when you first told me about your future.

This is not a class where there is a test at the end of the course. This is about life. I’m sorry to be doing this like a crash course as if I missed telling you something as you were growing up. Our talk here these three days is only a review of your upbringing Se’May.

You know what you know. I am only doing what I’m supposed to be doing as your father. You are a grown woman with a husband and children of your own. It is not possible for you to be a better person in my eyes.

My purpose here as I’ve said before is to make sure you remember what you were taught and go forth and make a name for yourself. Look, you will create your own maxims. Do you remember me telling you that?

Mother Sayer: Yes father I do.

Father Sayer: (Pauses and stares at Se’May and looks over her head to the sky. I wish I could shield her from all the trouble that lies in wait for her. I must be strong for her though. If I show weakness in my eyes, she may be doubtful about her abilities to accomplish what her dreams demand of her).

Father Sayer: (He pushes back against the doubt that has found a crease in his armor. No he speaks to himself. —- I have fought battles against the odds on a daily basis to get to where I am today. You did not defeat me then and you will not defeat my purpose with my daughter now. Away with your madness doubt!).

Father Sayer: Se’May, you may have to fight with your own doubts and fears. This is normal. Yes it is normal. Do not feel weird or eccentric doing it either. Your mind is part of the solution and you must fight to keep it free of injury.

Mother Sayer: Injury father?

Father Sayer: Failure, doubt or the naysayers can affect your mojo if you let these forces penetrate your defense perimeter. Don’t be discouraged if they get through from time to time. Do what I do at that moment. If you have to, stop and do battle with them when you get a chance.

Father Sayer: Don’t think that the words of other people don’t matter. You can’t afford to be arrogant and think you’re invulnerable or something to it. Inventory your weapons, mental ones that is, pick one or two or all of them if you like, and fight back hard like you’re trying to close a stubborn breach in a large dam holding back millions of gallons of water.

Father Sayer: Your mind can be injured. Please repair and heal all wounds, both physical and mental, as either kind can deteriorate or worsen the health of the whole body Se’May.

Mother Sayer: Of course father.

Father Sayer: That should cover enemies, mental health, loyalty, relationships, sexuality and fairness in general. Whoa look at the time. We are basically done for today.

Mother Sayer: Oh you are right about the time as it flies when a discussion is stimulating father.

Father Sayer: Se’May, I want to talk to you about making decisions tomorrow. Some of your decisions may compromise your integrity. I want to make you aware of something in my walk through life that I’m tormented by. (Father smiles and his expression is encased in pain behind his eyes. He sees Se’May read this and he turns away quickly).

Father Sayer: Goodnight Se’May, I’ll see you in the morning.

Mother Sayer: Goodnight father. (Did I just see what I saw in my father’s eyes. What could he possibly have done that would be that bad in his life. I mean if he can marry my mother and stay with that woman he couldn’t have done anything else to cause him such regret. Could he?).

Day Three:

Prologue:

(Breakfast today is packed with protein sources. Many different tree nuts. Peanuts and peanut butter. Skim milk and hot chocolate. There are many flavors of tea lining one of the trays. Oatmeal to help the blood flow more smoothly.

The choice in beverages are appealing as usual. There is orange juice, cranberry, apple and both flavors of grapefruit juice. The children are allowed to have waffles with only honey as it is made naturally in nature by bees).

Father Sayer: How’s breakfast on such a beautiful morning Se’May?

Mother Sayer: It is wonderful as usual father. Although I’m beginning to think that you’re trying to tell me something.

Father Sayer: What, that I want you to eat healthy or something? Sure I am. Mix it up from time to time even.

Mother Sayer: Oh it’s beginning to sink in father, trust me.

Father Sayer: (He laughs as he knows his daughter would never demand or even request a specific breakfast item. He knows she is raised properly to eat what is before her and be thankful for it). I’m glad. I try to change with the times and times I mean my age as I can’t eat all that greasy and heavy food anymore. Hell even eggs are a no go for me now.

Mother Sayer: Eggs aren’t that big of a lost for me either father.

Father Sayer: (Okay I know that means that she is not ready to give up sausage, grits and egg whites for a long time to come. She can eat what she wants when she goes home to her house). Let’s get started with this last day of walking down memory lane.

Mother Sayer: I don’t remember anything about you compromising yourself father.

Father Sayer: Ah, yes that thing. I have left instruction with my lawyer to provide you with the complete story upon my death Se’May. I will tell you now what I can.

Mother Sayer: Okay father. What is the big deal? You grew up in Alabama for goodness sake.

Father Sayer: Alabama holds many evils that will never be written in history Se’May. Remember I’m not a young man. I just look this way because I’ve taken care for myself and avoided a lot of confrontation and insults against my honor or better yet, humanity.

Mother Sayer: Father, what is it you want to tell me?

Father Sayer: Growing up in the South was not a walk among the sunflowers. There were obstacles to getting out of poverty left and right or whichever way you turned. I wanted what I wanted.

Mother Sayer: Father, did you kill someone?

Father Sayer: No, not by my hand if I could claim that truth when I am judged. I worked with the FBI during a period of time before the civil rights movement came to prominence.

Mother Sayer: Ohh!

Father Sayer: (He just saw disappointment in his daughter’s eyes towards him for the first time in his life). I just helped them craft an approach method to take down black men if they didn’t cooperate with the FBI. In essence, I helped them find the weakness in black men so they could exploit it and discredit them when they needed to.

I used the money they gave and the wheels they greased and got out of town. I started my mechanics shop in Louisville, Kentucky and I have been working to erase that stain from my ledger for decades now.

Mother Sayer: So that’s why you know so much about sex and how it can be used to destroy people’s lives. You used your gifts of insight and maturity when others were simply following their hormones. You took advantage of this fact and bartered with the FBI for seed money?

Father Sayer: Yes I did.

Mother Sayer: What what happened to the men that you reported on?

Father Sayer: I saw they were blackmailed into quitting the movement or strong armed out of helping people register to vote or provide rides and things like that.

Mother Sayer: I am now at a lost for words father. I don’t want to continue speculating on what happened to these men based on your actions.

Father Sayer: When I saw what the FBI was doing and how the program was destroying lives, I just ran. I told them I wanted out and I got out of town and I didn’t look back.

Father Sayer: I held them to the agreement and they seeded my business and cleared the way on licenses to open my shop. I’ve been busting my ass to make it right since that time in my life.

Mother Sayer: May I be excused?

Father Sayer: (This request is shocking to him). Ah ah yes Se’May.

Epilogue to Day Three:

(Se’May walked away not knowing how to handle this revelation from her father. She knew she can’t erase nearly three decades of instruction from the man who has spent the time to give her so much. This man has taught her that love means much more than affection.

She must come to an agreement on this information about her father before tomorrow. Then suddenly she thinks, maybe he told her this to make her feel the pain of betrayal. The impact of it landing with such force because she needs to know how it feels if it happens in her life again.

This guy she thinks, is everything about training and teaching? Couldn’t he just be a proud or loving father and not share these mental atomic bombs with me? What makes him think I want to know this stuff?

She yells loudly, ahhhhhhhh! Okay okay wait let me see something. If I’m going to have power, then it must be in the hands of a person of sound mind and body. This power must be entrusted to someone that is capable of not loosing control of it. A person who will not allow emotions, slights, insults or perceived indignities to cause its’ misuse.

Am I that woman Se’May? That is the question that must be closed with an answer. ‘Close the circle’. Cute. It is not complicated Se’May she says to herself. Answer the question or walk away. Are you up to the task? Yes or no? Yes I am!

This power will be held in good hands, my hands. (At this moment, let it be recorded in the annals of history that Se’May Sayer decided to step forward and meet her fate).

‘The Arc of Time has bent towards one more, a woman this day, has decided to seek out and claim her glory. Let all who seek to oppose her know this. She accepts your challenge and advises all to beware their fate.’).

Day Four:

This Ending is my Beginning:

Prelude:

(Departure mornings are often laced with anticipation of the trip home and the sadness of leaving family members that have shaped so much of your life. Se’May and her father have always said goodbye in words and mannerisms of body language that allowed each other to keep their purpose in life front and center.

This day however will call for more energy mentally to not break that tradition. Maybe after their greetings are made at breakfast they will experience some enlightenment to chart a way through. After her father’s household personnel finish placing the food out, Se’May and her father enter the room behind the children).

Father Sayer: How was your rest last night Se’May?

Mother Sayer: It was okay father. I thought about what you said and came to terms with it. Am I right in thinking that you want me to be secure in my thoughts and defiant against all naysayers if I want this right?

Father Sayer: Se’May, do you remember what I told you about the children coming to stay with me when you had to deploy to Afghanistan?

Mother Sayer: You said I will limit the time I will keep your children because they need to get to know their mother and their mother should always hold the preeminence in the home. I’m sorry both me and Zar, that’s his nickname.

Father Sayer: Women, Se’May are naturals at reading personalities. How can I say this you ask? First, why do you think the children of big families are such a close-knit group and seemingly the parents have complete awareness of where they are?

Mother Sayer: They give the children instructions before they leave the home?

Father Sayer: That’s a part of it, but what is the key to it? The key is that women can read the signs of personality and even shape them when they have to in their children. The mothers that know what their children are capable of and know when they’re lying are mothers that make their living on paying attention to detail.

Tell me Se’May, you know what I’m saying is true don’t you.

Mother Sayer: (He is right and I’ve picked up on how determined my daughter is and how Justus is a bit of a day dreamer that needs a firmer hand). You are correct father.

Father Sayer: Now do you know why the majority of women lose this talent or simply ignore it at home or worst in their professional life?

Mother Sayer: Why father?

Father Sayer: No give me an answer first and I will tell you if you are close to what I’m thinking.

Mother Sayer: Women think they can’t be too motherly in the workplace?

Father Sayer: (His eyes light up with joy as she said it another way, but it is what he was thinking). In a way Se’May you are correct. Women have been told that information about other people in the workplace is bad. Women have been told that reading the people in the room in order to know how to approach them is bad. Women have been tricked into forgetting that they are the creators of all those men in charge of them.

Women have been flimflammed into suppressing their abilities because it is bad to know the tendencies of all those personalities and use it to their advantage. Men can’t do it as well and it is wrong to be better at something than men are.

The worse chicanery that has been overwhelmingly successful against women has been to actually make them act like they are men to get respect in life. The author of confusion huh?

Mother Sayer: That is certainly a harsh guilty verdict you’ve just rendered against the defendant Mister Prosecutor. Albeit a just and truthful one. You are right on every count of the indictment father. ‘Hopefully I can commute that sentence from life to time served.’

Father Sayer: I trust everything I’ve told you these three days was relevant if I may attest.

Mother Sayer: It was relevant alright father. I want you to know that I appreciate who you are and I am thankful for my good fortune of being your daughter.

Father Sayer: And my confession?

Mother Sayer: I would never think any less of you father. We all make mistakes that we have to atone for at some point in our life. I declare that you have been a father that has made me understand that wanting something is different than needing something.

I do not need to start a business, but I want to help other people reach their full potential and I believe for me the only way is through a business. So I need to be my own boss or I will always be the one following someone else’s dream.

Father Sayer: Good. Let me know when you and the children are ready to travel.

Epilogue:

(Father Sayer rides in his car as his ears ring from the many passenger planes that are taking off from Birmingham International Airport. He still can’t believe he is in a place so free of trouble that he can think back to the times when he betrayed his brothers and sisters to the police.

He hopes when he stands in judgment that God forgives his many indiscretions. Well Se’May will be a highly sought after product in a few years God willing. I hope I’m around to see it.

Se’May sits across from Doy and Justus as she is high above all her troubles for now. She has a few moments of reflection before the plane lands in Louisville. When it hits the ground and comes to a stop at the gate, she knows her life will speed up and she hopes she keeps her feet).

Micro Post

A Continuous Expense?

Let’s say I buy an SUV with all the bells and whistles and just can’t take my eyes off of it when it’s parked. It requires gas beyond the full tank the dealership provided? Why do I have to pay for gas when I bought the vehicle and it came with everything I need?

I should be able to drive into a gas station and get the gas for free right. You’d say that thinking is stupid wouldn’t you? Then what is the difference when I’m faced with maintaining the health of my body?

Oh well one person not having health insurance is no big deal right. How about a hundred or a thousand refusing to purchase health insurance. Let’s not talk about a million or fifty million taking the chance, which leads to a collapse in the system. Is a mandate under consideration now perhaps?

Just like a motorized vehicle needs continuous maintenance to function normally; a human body needs continuous care and attention so it can give years of life without the pitfalls of unknown or undiagnosed illnesses. Human beings may balk at paying their car insurance, but guess what they pay it if they want to keep their drivers license right.

Government exists to move people’s mindset along to accepting the fact that some things need to be mandated so the whole system doesn’t collapse in on itself from free riders. Legislators hold office to help the collective good, not help people continue their delusions of invincibility.

Episode Seven: Suffer Persecution

Prologue:

(Mother Sayer had long ago scheduled this trip to Sacramento, California to visit and commune with Doyenne and Justus; her daughter and son who’re growing in stature and notoriety in their own places and spaces. Maybe, just maybe the tenet of being ‘faithful’ and living a life directed by ‘decency and order’ pays off in real time for each member of the family. Alas, the time has come around to explain more of the ‘why’ I raised my children in the ways of ‘spirituality’ and ‘sound child rearing’ that certainly included reasonable discipline.)

Mother Sayer: Doyenne are you comfortable in your seat?

Daughter Doyenne: Yes Mother. You know I appreciate you springing for first class and all the amenities that come with it.

Mother Sayer: (A sigh of ‘Hmmm’ pierces her lips as she responds). Doy, I enjoy first class as well, but it is because we’ve earned it and it is reasonable to spend a few extra dollars to not be bothered with cramped seating or trouble focusing our thoughts as we try to grab more room from the person seated beside us.

Daughter Doyenne: Oh course Mother.

Mother Sayer: Your brother will be glad to see you. It’s been what 6 or 7 months since we’ve gotten together to renew our family tenets?

Daughter Doyenne: It’s been half a year since we’ve gotten together with Justus to talk face to face of a deeper scale about what’s been happening in our lives. I do look forward to seeing him again as it does bring me joy.

Mother Sayer: Good. Good. Okay then, we have a little over 4 hours of flying time before we land in California. What drink are you ordering?

Daughter Doyenne: I think I’ll have a glass of red wine to sooth the flight. How are you Mother? What are you having?

Mother Sayer: I’ll have a shot Courvoisier.

Daughter Doyenne: Right. Sorry, I forgot there a minute. You like to cure any possibility of catching a bug along the way.

Mother Sayer: Yes. You may say it as well, but in whispered tones.

Daughter Doyenne: I don’t know the hygiene habits of the people preparing my food or my drinks, but I sure would like to tip the scale a bit in my favor.

Mother Sayer: Precisely. It may be a superstition, but it has been a reliable one.

(Mother Sayer and Doyenne enjoy their choice of inflight meals and washes them down with their choice of beverage. A light conversation ensues, nothing proprietary of course about the ARC, and Mother chooses to catch a few zzzz’s before the flight lands.

The flight reaches SMF and lands without a hitch as the anticipation is now building because Justus is waiting in arrivals to greet his Mother and sister. The plane taxies up to the gate and the pilot soon after tells the passengers they’re authorized to unbuckle, retrieve their carry-on, and depart the aircraft.)

Mother Sayer: Doy, do you have everything?

Daughter Doyenne: Yes Mother. Do you have all you boarded the plane carrying?

Mother Sayer: (Thinks to herself, good she has retained that important lesson. If you’re walking, running, flying or going to the corner store with someone, the point is to look out for each other no matter the status or hierarchical position of the person with you.). Yes, Doy I do. Thanks for looking out for me, as we both should each other.

Daughter Doyenne: I came through my childhood with a few spanked bottoms, but when I achieved the age of ascension I knew I had to learn what’s good for me.

Mother Sayer: (Laughs). Okay Doy, and you did reach for the light after a few rough patches. Now let’s go get our checked bag and be on our way to see Justus.

Daughter Doyenne: (Our checked bag. Mother convinced me to leave my room (the guest room I routinely occupy at my bother’s house) furnished and outfitted with duplicates of the clothes I wear when I’m in my own ‘castle’.). That was one of the best suggestions you’ve ever made to me, as we will come to California often to conduct business and meet Justus for family time.

Mother Sayer: Yes it was and it remains the best option for travellers like us with the situation at airports. The inability of legislatures, federal and state, around the country to figure out the best way to insure the safety of the flying public without insulting our intelligence.

Daughter Doyenne: (I believe Mother has a few ideas she could pass on that includes patrols stationed at critical points along the path to entering the airport. Security at the entrance. Security on the way to the gate. Security pass the screening. Security in the baggage claim. A simple television monitor that shows passengers they are on tape). On the outlook Mother, maybe the right people will review and implement your suggestions. Let’s go.

Mother Sayer: You’re right. Let’s go. We’ve got the one bag each we checked on the plane. Let’s get on with it shall we?

Daughter Doyenne: Lead the way.

Mother Sayer: Right, okay. (Both Mother and daughter walk to the exit area of the airport and meet Justus as he waits by the side of the limousine.)

Justus I. Order: Mother, happy to see you’ve made it safely. Doyenne, how was the flight?

Mother Sayer: It was a little bumpy at times, but all was to my satisfaction. Are we ready to go?

Justus I. Order: Yes Mother. (As he signals the driver to help with the luggage and get the doors and assist with anything the passengers need). Sabella, secure the passengers and let’s get under way.

(Mother and company all climb in the limousine and begin their trip in Sacramento headed to her son’s house to relax and freshen up from the flight.)

Mother Sayer: I want to express to both of you while we are on the way home about how well you kids have grown to be good and respectable adults caring for yourselves in ways that have exceeded even my desires for your lives.

Daughter Doyenne: It is not lost on us how much you wanted us to live a life worthy of our upbringing.

Justus I. Order: I agree with Doy. I didn’t understand fully the rigid routine we were under at times, but I fully understand that the resulting impact on where your children are today proves your methods validity.

Mother Sayer: Good. I am glad because I do not have the time to ponder the what if scenarios of life. Let me be clear. That practice leads to a vein of questioning yourself on every decision you make. It’s like falling into a dual reality where your conscience must approve every decision you want to make. When in actuality all you need is knowledge on the situation, and trust your spirit, your intelligence and your understanding and just ‘make a decision’.

Justus I. Order: (Should I ask her to open my understanding on how she managed to stand firm in her beliefs when I was acting like a fool because I couldn’t play in the state championship game.) Mother, do you remember when you punished me and I didn’t play in any of my high school’s playoff games?

Mother Sayer: Yes at Trinity in Louisville. I remember accurately. Do you think you were being persecuted? In any case make your statement.

Justus I. Order: I didn’t get a chance to experience that feeling of actually competing for something with the team I shared great hardships. Why did you punish me so harshly?

Mother Sayer: Oh, you believe your punishment at the time was not in proportion to the offense you committed is that correct?

Justus I. Order: Yes that’s correct?

Mother Sayer: In order for me to pull up those memories from that time period in our lives. I need to hear from you what led up to my decision to correct your behavior?

Justus I. Order: (I fell right into it. She just led off the conversation tonight about not having time for stupidity basically. I better comply because she has zero tolerance for the practice.) It was right after Dad left for one of his secret missions in the Middle East and we haven’t heard from him since. I was experimenting with cigarettes. You allowed me to have a girlfriend of which I was having sex without protection.

My manners began to deteriorate. For instance, I wasn’t properly greeting you when you came home. I slacked in doing my chores. I began to waste food at dinner when I didn’t eat what I took that was placed out on the table.

Mother Sayer: Stop right there. All those instances you outlined of disorder and disobedience were addressed at the time and you persisted in doing them right?

Justus I. Order: Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: A decision has ramifications son. Those ramifications can manifest good results in your life or the opposite. You chose to experience the opposite. A seventeen year old absolutely is clear minded and intelligent enough to know that actions by one in a family affects all in that family.

(A metaphor is called for to make my utterance memorable). What are the steps a parent would take to treat a child that is sick with a cold? The parent would seek out a remedy appropriate for the child and administer the dosage for the allotted period of time. The child would then be checked and the parent feeling reasonably certain the child is ‘over’ the cold pronounces the child ‘cured’.

Simple process is it not? Here’s what happens when a child has drifted from ‘decency and order’ established by the parents. The child would be assigned a punishment and length of time it is scheduled to last. The parents, whether male or female, would hear from the child how unfair the punishment is and or succumb to the child’s constant whining to release them from their ‘so-called persecution’.

Let’s analyze the situation for the moment. The child (patient) is sick or ill. The parents have decided on a remedy or cure. The medicine in the correct dosage is administered.

Here’s why the child is never cured of their illness. “The parent stops administering the medicine in the dosage for the prescribed length of time until the child (patient) is cured!” So the child is still ‘infected’ with the ‘bug’ (disorder and disobedience) that caused the illness that led to the prescription ‘punishment’ having to be ordered.

Justus I. Order: I understand now Mother. Through my haze of anger and resentment I should have focused the blame squarely where it lied in the first place. With me. One good thing I know it did for me. It certainly straightened me out but good. I understood from then on that my punishment would be costly for me.

Mother Sayer: Excellent, son. Don’t ever forget the part you play in all that happens in your life. I will suggest to you that you get control up to a healthy 85 or 90 percent. No one ever will be at 100% in control of their life because we will need each other.

Daughter Doyenne: I finally understand why I can sit and listen to you talk for hours Mother. What you have to say means something and the way you use maxims and metaphors allows your utterances to be easily remembered.

Mother Sayer: Thank you Doy. I will tell you what my father expressed to me many years ago. He said, “Se’May, I can’t teach you all you need to know about life. You will develop your own maxims and methods that will enhance and grow to someday soon blossom into that formidable woman the world will admire.”

Epilogue:

(The day and night were memorable as it always is when Mother gets together with her children. She is watching her children in her own way, but they are probably unaware that she does it. Mother Se’May Sayer is spiritual and decisive in the actions she believes are ‘directives’ for her and her family.

Do not misunderstand her. Mother’s heart was breaking to see her son not enjoy something he worked hard in achieving. She remembers her vow of faith. “We all must require more of ourselves and being faithful to something higher than ourselves shows our commitment to that vow of faith.”

The End.

Micro-post

FAITHFUL: WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

I will briefly explain faith and being faithful as I’m developing a post about it to publish in due time. “Faith or faithful is not just believing a spiritual being demands it of us. Being faithful by showing fidelity to a marriage is a good example, but it doesn’t even catch all that being faithful entails.”

“Being faithful means that I will be devoted to good decision making. If I decide to obtain higher education (your parents should be faithful to your education till your high school diploma), I must be devoted to fulfilling my vow to achieve it.”

“Being faithful means that I will maintain a solid and reliable work ethic so that my family or my employer’s dependence on me is not in vain.”

“Being faithful means that I will not be swayed by situations and circumstances because those conditions are always subject to change. My presentation to the world must remain the same. The good man I desire to be must be consistent through good periods and bad periods. A wife, children, parents or people I meet are subject to change. I must accept that and still maintain the man I’ve decided I will be. I must be the same good man everyday.”

Faithful and faith require a great deal of human power. Do not despair though. It becomes embedded in you as you practice it on a daily basis. Grow with it!

Episode Six: The ARC Council

Prologue: (Mother’s curiosity and exhilaration seems to always peek when she is about to face a ‘dressing down’. These assessments for the CEO of The ARC Incorporated were her brainchild. “Mother, she would often say to herself, you could be accused of distorted reasoning because this testing of yours can be seen as causing undue pain upon you psyche”.

I decide what is beneficial to my stated goals in life. It is not whether others understand the reasons I systematically fortify my embankments. The ‘senses’ receive the first notification of trouble or pleasure. ‘Prosperity and Adversity’ are flip sides of the same coin. Preparation for both must be done simultaneously and seamlessly. From the neck up is where I must place 90% of my energies toward combating the many issues I will face, have faced, and have solved in my business. Fittingly this philosophy has afforded me a wonderful life.)

Sarah W. Certainty (1^st of 3): (It is 1400 on a Wednesday afternoon and she knows what is next on Mother’s calendar. She has her session with ‘The Arc Council’ or as the associates like to call it ‘The Council’.)

Mother Sayer: I have read that look on your face for the last 5 years Sarah. Is it that time again?

Sarah W. Certainty: Yes Mother. ‘The Council’ awaits your arrival on the first floor.

Mother Sayer: Thank you Sarah. Prepare the office for my return.

Sarah W. Certainty: It will be ready for you as always. (Sarah has seen in her 5 years at the ARC the aftermath of Mother’s sessions with ‘The Council’ 32 times not counting today. She has provided Mother with refreshments ranging from stiff drinks to R & B music played on her Bose SoundTouch 30. Cold water. Hugs and kisses on both cheeks to just being there to listen as she sorted through the session to what she could use to enhance and strengthen her psyche. Sarah speaks softly to herself what she has spoken the last 5 years. “I will never fail this woman, ever!”

Council Session 43: (Mother rides the elevator to the bottom floor and exits to the right and enters an office through a single heavy door designed to be sound proof. The assistants to the 3 counselors secure the door behind Mother and draw the blinds on the inner windows.

The members of the Council are present for session 43. ‘D. D. O.’ the one who doesn’t speak. ‘The Arc Angel’ the duality representing both right and wrong. ‘Frank Inquisitor’ the one where aggression is foreplay, but no one gets off.

Frank Inquisitor: (Starts off as he usually does if the Arc Angel doesn’t speak first.) Would you like a chair Mother Sayer?

Mother Sayer: No Inquisitor, I will stand for this session, as I’m sure the floor will not shake or rattle in here.

Frank Inquisitor: Oh, you think we don’t have any good material to challenge that formidable mind of yours today?

Arc Angel: (Cuts in before Mother could answer.) We rarely hit our mark with this woman as she prepares a countermeasure to every thrust we make. Mother Sayer, I would like to start today by asking about this new product you’ve been developing. What’s it called, the ‘Playboy’ I presume?

Mother Sayer: Yes, that’s correct. (Mother cuts her answer short.)

Arc Angel: What’s it do? Don’t give me a short answer again or I will come over there and get in your grill.

Mother Sayer: (Good, I need this to be an offensive exercise because I’ve been getting mentally soft lately.) It is designed to be part of an airplane. It will take the place of the black box that is the industry standard now. Deploying in the event of a catastrophic incident to notify search and rescue teams of the exact location of a downed aircraft by GPS.

Arc Angel: I know you didn’t think of this idea did you?

Mother Sayer: (Ah, belittling and goading simultaneously. Good.) Yes I did.

Frank Inquisitor: The team led by; let’s see here, Nicole was on point right?

Mother Sayer: (Typical omission of the engineer who thought of the idea.) Nicole and her team handled the marketing strategy for the ‘Playboy’.

Frank Inquisitor: What about this product makes you believe it will be beneficial to the airline industry?

Mother Sayer: Before this allotted time, couldn’t you have read the reports submitted to you for study before this council session, or do you fashion yourself some Spanish Monarch with a trembling subject before you cowering for mercy?

Frank Inquisitor: (Sharply turns toward Mother as if to acknowledge the validity of her words, but also to signal a turn to a more aggressive line of questioning.) I will ask you again. How is it beneficial to the airline industry?

Mother Sayer: (An inner smile covers her face as she has taken command of this session by evening the odds.) The time to locate airline crashes or aviation mishaps will be virtually instantaneous. The ‘Playboy’ will deploy and activate a GPS marker at the precise location it went down. Second. In the event of a water crash, it will activate a buoy that will float on the surface and record continuously everything that has happened and still is occurring. Third. It will also activate a sonar feature that ships nearby can hone to help notify rescue teams. Fourth. In the event of a land crash. A solar powered marker will deploy from the tail section equipped with solar panels that will power all recording devices as long as is necessary for rescue to find the aircraft.

Mother Sayer: How’s that for value Mr. Columbus?

Arc Angel: No need for insults. Inquisitor was just asking a question that’s all.

Mother Sayer: It’s wasn’t lost on me that you remained silent as I popped off the details of the ‘Playboy’. Could it be you didn’t prepare for this session as well?

Arc Angel: Cute, Mother. I am always prepared. Wasn’t a member of Nicole’s team, Terence Dohey, lax in his fiduciary obligation to keep this matter a secret?

Mother Sayer: (This information was not put out to protect my associate’s mistake in judgment. How did she find out about it? This council is certainly becoming independent of even my oversight? Good.) My associate was reprimanded and ordered to report for retraining in company policies. I will not speak of another associate on the record again.

Frank Inquisitor: You will tell us whatever we wish to know.

Mother Sayer: (Excellent! Now I get to put it on the record again.) Listen to me carefully all three of you. If you have a matter to bring before this company, you bring it to me and me alone. My children are my concern, not yours. Now, if I have to tell you again you’re not gonna like it. Yes, I call them my children and as such I will decide if any punishment is necessary.

Perhaps I should explain myself more on this point.

May I explain my philosophy of ‘allegiance’? It is another example of the use of a powerful word which those who use it thinks that upon hearing it, people automatically understand it.

This is not so. First, let me cover the wrong way it has be used in society or even in a family. Allegiance in a family is understood to be that you hold fidelity to the family even if a family member is wrong. Thus the underlying problem, the offense is allowed to fester, growing with a fowl stench until it is so unbearable that it forces the family to address it.

Alliances are fickle. Then why do countries have allies if they are finicky you ask? Because at the first sign of danger an alliance can be broken if there is no underlying belief in the other’s moral authority to deal with a matter by what’s right or wrong about it.

That’s the problem when you decide who is an ally by taking ‘sides’!

I know it is frequently expected with family against non-family. Which is why many families aren’t morally strong. ‘They’re misguided by a false meaning of allegiance.’ Allegiance is cultivated with benevolence. Only what will help the one’s I love (human power) is what I desire for them.

Allegiance then becomes meaningful because regardless of who occupies my family or who is trusted I pledge loyalty (human power) because we live by what’s right and what’s wrong. Whether it is a ‘pact’ involving two or multiples of two, allegiance must have a foundation that isn’t subject to cracks.

Honor, fairness, benevolence are hallmarks that should naturally broadcast to anyone that happens upon your allegiance. That’s why I understood the meaning of pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America long ago in my childhood.

I understood that allegiance embodies those traits that are crucial to coalescing an impenetrable force of citizens. Women and men, girls and boys that know that an alliance is only as good as the people who keep it strong. Alliances can only be kept strong if wrongs are called out and corrected no matter the person who committed them, and what is right must be championed at all times.

D. O.: (She is not allowed to talk. Observation is her calling in these sessions. Her restriction doesn’t include writing as she writes up her analysis with vigor as she takes in the back and forth between the others on the council and Mother Sayer.)

Arc Angel: (She silently looks at Mother Sayer and wonders how high this woman can go. Amazing. We have circled around her in sessions. We have ridiculed her. We have intentionally tried to make her buckle in her authority running the Arc Incorporated. She prepares well and not only that she thinks nimbly on her feet. Impressive!) I only have one last thing Mother. Are you the matriarch of this company or are you simply the CEO?

Mother Sayer: (Oh brother.) I am the Matriarch of ‘The ARC Incorporated’. The title if you are to understand the development of this word. Matriarch or Patriarch was meant to bestow power on the female or the male along the timelines of human history. The meaning simply states that someone has to be in charge.

Let me go a little further because I get the feeling that this word creates unease among women.

Somebody has to be in charge. Whether that is a man or a woman there are certain expectations that go with being in charge or being the leader. Being susceptible to every whim is not practical. A certain detachment will appear in your personality whether you want it or not.

Judgment will push its’ way to the front and the ability to discern good and evil will ask (demand) you put in the time learning and familiarizing yourself to know the difference.

Suddenly being the leader will require you act in the best interest of the family or the organization regardless of what you would like to do.

Then, if you have truly embraced your role; your thoughts will become elevated beyond flesh and blood impulses to matters involving greater importance. Like the lives of others and directing them appropriately to achieve their potential.

If you embrace this responsibility, then you will start to see your success is not dependent on having the ‘favor of the king’. It is dependent on doing the things that you know will create dividends in meaningful human lives.

So yes, I am the Matriarch.

Arc Angel: My session is complete. How about you Inquisitor?

Frank Inquisitor? I am satisfied.

D. O.: (She gestures with a thumbs up it’s done.)

Mother Sayer: Good. I look forward to our next encounter. Good day.

Mother Sayer: (Mother leaves the room and the assistants to the council escorts her to the exit and she is free once again to review what just happened and enjoy the rest of her day. Funny. Why is Tina Turner’s ‘Steel Claw’ starting to play in my head?

Oh well, in any case, it is appropriate.).

3 Revelations

My understanding of brevity is not why I will endeavor to achieve my points in as few paragraphs as possible, but my mission has always been and remains is to offer informed solutions to the issues of life. Granted, I require of my audience to engage the breadth, and length, and depth, and height of their understanding. As I was fond of telling my soldiers this phrase all the time, “Sergeant Moseley can’t do everything, you are going to have to do your part too.”

One.

I will start with religion, which I must warn you may be insulting and amusing, but I will make a point. As an assignment in one of my classes I had to watch a PBS video called ‘Armed in America’. A panel of ministers sat on stage talking about how they now had to carry concealed weapons (guns) into church in order to protect them if someone wanted to come in and harm them. Pause. A younger white minister who looked like he was auditioning for Pearl Jam was the only voice of reason (surprising to me) on the entire panel. He touched on my revelation I will reveal in a minute about these so-called Christians. Guards armed with weapons were needed to protect the House of God. Pause.

Imagine with me if you will. God, upon hearing this development asks the minister of that church for an audience. The minister agrees and appears before God to answer this affront. The minister tells God that there are people out there looking to murder, sow discord, and strike fear in his children to keep them away from worshiping him. God, upon hearing this looks to his right at Jesus. God looks at the Holy Ghost, Gabriel, and Michael. God looks out across heaven and summons a Bible to his hand and reads it to be certain he did say something about persecution and featured it prominently within the pages.

My revelation is: Are you kidding me! Oh, by the way, God threw a few bolts of lightning. God shook Earth and brought the whirlwind to be sure he still had a little power left in him to behold such doubt from his followers. Maybe God felt he was loosing it and check himself there for a minute to be sure. Try Matthew 5 vs. 10. That panel discussion blew my mind as I was attempting to comprehend the cascading flood of arrogant beliefs impacting against my mind displayed by their lack of faith in God. A Christian should be enthusiastic about the chance to die in the name of God if it is God’s will that he do so! Ministers should be calling this blasphemy of weapons in the house of God as a lie, a confusion, a contradiction of the word that God has given us. I am talking to all these so-called Christians. If you believe that you can protect God’s Kingdom with a ‘firearm’, I don’t ever want to be in church with you period.

Two.

Beautiful people. Don’t think I’m picking on you. It is just that a lot of the trouble in this world stems from the fact that beautiful people neglect the development of their interpersonal skills. Take for instance a scenario where upon a beautiful woman leaves her home and goes to work. Many doors are opened for her because humankind loves to have something pleasant to view when conducting day-to-day transactions.

Remember some times in your life where you couldn’t avoid conflict. Did you count on your looks to pacify the situations? No? Why not? What did you use to mediate the issue and come to a solution? Something involving that gray matter encased in your skull perhaps. Right. Most disagreements are fairly minor and can be solved easily by giving up on a point of view, or allowing the greater good to be served by deferring to the other person’s position.

What if the issue can’t be solved so easily? Facial or body features will not get you out of sticky situations. I’m sorry to inform you in case you thought they always would. Sometimes the intensity of a conflict burrows two or more parties into a matter so deep that all issues surrounding the matter are all that matter. What use would your looks serve you then?

My point here is to ‘burst that bubble’, that fallacy for all those who thought that looks would render you the victor 100% of the time. Male and female alike. In public. On the job. In every setting within a society. No one has to bow down to you because your man or your woman told you that you were pretty. You walk on water, or your crap doesn’t stink! All that’s good, but that is for you to share it with whoever tells you that. The rest of the world doesn’t have to acknowledge that you look good in that dress, or that three-piece suit.

Now what’re you going to do? An argument has to have two or more participants willing to argue for their point of view. If one of the participants developed their interpersonal skills to fight for their position and the other party, with the opposing point of view, relies on looks to win the argument. I believe the more prepared person will win that battle.

Look people, I’ve seen it happen. I’ve seen people fall apart. I’ve seen people get shredded to pieces (their position) because they relied on their looks to persuade their opponent to give them the day. What’s worse is that time (years of your life) is still passing. All the time people could be working on those interpersonal skills wasted because they were told they were pretty or handsome. It made them neglect a critical part of their character. Their mental toughness. Their comfort with not being the center of attention. The demanding nature of business where if you can’t articulate your desires (intelligence); then what good are you to a company?

My revelation is: Then you are just another pretty face that ‘hangs on the wall like a painting in a museum people come to view, but they know they can’t take it home because it’s too expensive.’ Who needs to stare at something everyday that doesn’t give them much more than a pleasant thought.

Three:

A decision. One decision could have monumental ramifications! For this I’m going to stay positive because it is one decision I will share with you. Back in 2002, I was in the Alabama National Guard. I was newly single (you know what that means) and making a career for myself at a grocery store. The President at the time started one war and was about to start the Iraq war. I prayed to God and asked him if this is my destiny; then I will stay on duty in the U.S. Army.

That decision lead to an opportunity to come back on active duty in the Army in 2007 nearly five years later after serving in Germany and Iraq. I ended my active time in 2014 and joined the Army Reserves which has lead me to the process of adding all my time to qualify for a 20-year letter of retirement from the Reserves. None of this was easy. After Iraq, I served two 12-month tours of duty in Afghanistan. I also survived a lot of ribbing from younger colleagues serving with the ‘old man’ in many of my units.

When I say I wouldn’t change it (my decision, my life) for anything I am being reflective and thankful. I am a full-time student and I work about 32 hours a week. Oh, and don’t forget my website www.landcause.com. My income is higher than when I was on active duty while my expenses have certainly dropped. All for one decisions that now looks like an octopus as it spreads it’s tentacles throughout my life.

My revelation is: Do not think lightly of the decisions that you make. A decision could serve you with good nourishment for years, heck even decades to come if made wisely!

What is Love?

The earliest time in my life when I remember hearing that word being said to me and my first thought was perplexity. I heard it in my parents’ house and couldn’t decipher what it meant. I believe I used it myself around the age of 14 toward a girl I was sweet on and noticed a reaction from her. Her reaction upon hearing me say ‘I love you’ was of teenage glee and closeness. Needless to say I, at that time, didn’t possess the knowledge or the depth of understanding about love to reconcile the word into appropriate interaction with her.

So, I’m going to tell everybody what I’ve learned about love, but I must warn you it is not going to be without concrete behavioral mandates that symbolizes each party to it knows the seriousness of that powerful human covenant.

Let’s get the mistakes out of the way first. ‘I love you’ is often spoken after two people have engaged in sexual activity. Although sex may be cast as the villain of love when it is deployed in this manner, I beg to differ with this description and any resulting negativity attached to it. In this instance, it’s like putting love in an oven at 400 degrees and taking a nap, but you awaken to a smoky room and a fire alarm.

The reciprocal nature of love embodies symmetry. Now, requirements range from courtesy and respect to being disciplined about expending human capital which means time, commitment and denying all others who may want your love as well, in a spousal accord that is. Family love is different, as it should be, because authority and responsibility to nurture, protect, and teach are critical to raising a child that understands when and how to use love to strengthen his or her life.

The destroyers of love are deceptive and cunning with their true objective unbeknownst to their target. Their target is confusion. Many women and men are incapable of finding love because they’ve spent valuable time and energy with people who’ve muddied the waters concerning the true nature of love. These people have polluted their minds while in these relationships so bad that even when actual love should appear right in front of them; they are rendered incapable of recognizing it.

Yes people, you bear the traits and attitudes of the people you chose to love. If you are with a person that steps out (cheats with other people) on an agreed upon commitment, your ideas about love start to change and mimic the behaviors of the person you’re with. This is the moment when love starts being redefined in your mind. Oh, don’t let this relationship linger for years. It is dam near impossible except for a determined person to realize the error of their ways and get away from such a person.

Now to the concrete characteristics of love which are critical in the application of love in the real world. When one partner or both partners in a relationship share responsibility financially, then love is tangible because bills and needs are being met. A spouse coming home to their loved one shows commitment and loyalty. If there are children in the relationship, then they are going to need things as well to live and thrive in the home and at school. Food, clothing, shelter, medicine and various other things that are natural for life on this Earth.

I know this may sound harsh, but if a person cannot take ownership of the mistakes they’ve made concerning the power of love; then I suggest that that person is not worthy enough for anybody to waste their precious time on. If you are treating a person the way they are supposed to be treated and they still are unruly and rebellious to you as if you were the person that hurt them. I say you should think about cutting your loses and moving on because your own mind is susceptible to being warped about love also.

Love demonstrates itself everyday. Love gets out of bed and goes to work even though you are hurt and aching all over. Love divides up the remaining food in the house so everyone gets a share. Love says no when the finances are out of whack. Love teaches children and guides them to a strong, wise and independent life because that is a parent’s job. Love makes no excuses when a wrong is committed.

Love has the foresight to make a judgment call on where resources are needed to improve the family’s quality of life. Love tells someone when they are headed down the wrong path. Love doesn’t overlook the deeds of a child whether they are pure and right or whether they are wrong which subject them to correction.

Love comes home and brings his or her resources in tow. Love saves money for ‘a rainy day’. Love doesn’t blame politicians for all the ills in their life because Americans do whatever they want; they just don’t like the consequences. Love stands up to family and friends and tells them they are wrong when they promote hatred and evil at home, at work, or in church.

Look, I don’t blame my parents for not teaching me what love is and means to the people who share it and possess it. I remain a soul in search of answers, which I must confess is my accepted lot in life. My conclusion. Love is multi-faceted. It attaches itself to us with multiple tentacles that behave symmetry, which in this way powers us and powers love at the source.

If you are experiencing love down a one-way path, you probably want to stop depriving yourself of the true thing.

Cast your net in the right place

Most people are not going to take the time to find the proper activity to expend their human energy. They won’t seek out the sort of advice that leads to success. If they have to lift a load, it is only what they can comfortably carry alone. Sadly, most people will spend their lives wallowing in the mire with little direction or languishing in troubles self-inflicted until their life mercifully ends.

Take for instance the story of Jesus appearing to his disciples on the shore after they spent a night unsuccessfully fishing. In Saint John, Chapter 21 Jesus tells them to “cast the net on the right side of the ship”, they did (followed the advice of Jesus) and the results were immediately realized. A bounty of fishes so great that it took everything they had to finally get the fish onboard the ship.

Secretary Clinton has cast her net long and wide to draw everybody to her message of inclusion. Secretary Clinton has laid out her plan to not allow financial institutions the chance to wreck the economy again. In case you missed the revelation exposed by the financial shenanigans here it is. “When you put in jeopardy the family unit (whatever it may be), the foundation that holds up the walls of the economy (metaphorically speaking); the entire structure (system) is subject to collapse.”

Donald Trump has said, “He alone can fix everything”. He doesn’t even know what he doesn’t know because he doesn’t understand the concept of listening to the “knowers” (people that have spent their lives studying so you don’t have to spend the time learning what they already know).

I ask that you vote for Secretary Clinton for President of the United States of America. In addition, I ask that you vote her in a Democratic Congress so that she can enact an inclusive agenda that doesn’t put in jeopardy the American family structure again. Help her keep this country growing. Thank you.

Episode Five: Cast Him Out!

Prologue: (Mother sometimes likes to roll down the back windows of her Cadillac XTS when autumn is at its’ peak in Louisville, Kentucky. The loss of hearing, the momentary loss of balance when your eardrums do not know what to make of the increase in pressure. The cool wind issuing a challenge to your lungs to heat the air quickly as it enters your nose. Now run through today’s schedule as you block out all exterior stimuli. Justus will give me a report on the “Playboy” at 0845. Nicole will give me a first review of her advertising plan for the “Playboy” at 1000. I have a council meeting at 1100 in the Brookes Slave Ship room. Lastly I have a working lunch from 1300 until done that is being catered.

Mother smiles at these little games she plays with herself. Inside she knows they are not games, but sound techniques to keep her mentality sharp at all times. Enough for now, roll the windows up and prepare for arrival.)

Mother Sayer: (Greets all her people with genuine fondness and joy as she is always happy to see them back to work on Monday morning). Good morning Sarah.

Sarah W. Certainty: Good morning, Mother.

Mother Sayer: How was your vacation?

Sarah W. Certainty: It was wonderful. Thaddeus and the kids had a blast as we all did. The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. was humbling and informative to our mind and our soul.

Mother Sayer: Good. I am glad you took my recommendation to take a few extra days on your way back from New York to visit the museum. Well in any case, let’s pause the retelling of your trip for later. (In her goodbye, Mother does to Sarah as she always does. Touches her cheek. Her love for her is special and only she and Mother know the backstory.) (Mother steps into the elevator and pushes the button for the 35^th floor.)

Mother Sayer: (Mother walks the short distance to her office in the middle of the room.) Good morning Wilma. How are you doing this fine morning?

Wilma B.T.M. Will (2^nd of 3): Good morning Mother. All is well. How are you this morning?

Mother Sayer: I am ready to go. Who do we have first?

Wilma B.T.M. Will (2^nd of 3): Justus is up first. He will call in at 0845. Nicole will be here at 1000, and you have the council meeting at 1100 in the Brookes Ship Room.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles as she knew the lineup already, but wanted to hear her trusted assistant repeat it aloud for audio confirmation.) Good Wilma. I will be in my office.

Mother Sayer: (The call comes in and after she finishes the pleasantries with her son, Justus. The update begins on the “Playboy”.) Are we ready to begin sales of this product.

Justus I. Order: Yes Mother. After 1,000 computer simulations and 3 water drops simulating an in air explosion we have concluded that the data says we are on sound footing with this product.

Mother Sayer: Good, what does finance and accounting say about the price points we can get?

Justus I. Order: The price is $1,350,000. It includes data streaming that activates when a triggering event is detected. The signal is transmitted to our satellite network and we forward that information to the FAA and the NTSB.

Mother Sayer: (This is the progress my father spoke to me about that only comes when you put your mind to something. “Human energy applied to sound plans immersed in disciplined effort leads to expected results”). You’ve done well Justus. Tell your team I will come for a visit soon. Do keep ahold of yourself. You may come at any time and use my council chambers.

Justus I. Order: (I hope Mother didn’t pick up on my frightening reaction as I allowed her words to provoke a response physically.) Ah, thank you for the offer Mother. I need a few more years before I’m ready to go before your council.

Mother Sayer: My my Justus, you shouldn’t believe everything your sources tell you. Very well. Make sure you establish a direct connection with Nicole and her team from now until rollout. I will work my government contacts and the halls of the Federal Government.

Justus I. Order: Understood Mother. It will be done as you wish.

Mother Sayer: Before we sign off today. What other ideas and projects can I expect to bring me more excitement from your division?

Justus I. Order: We have a new software application that is promising. It helps merge available apprenticeships and trade programs with students that are gifted with their hands. Also an application that can be downloaded to cellphones that can help guide residents and newcomers to a city to all that’s available to them. Things like government services, employment that is matched to their skills, housing and so on.

Mother Sayer: Good good that’s enough. (Mother smiles as she now truly knows she made the right decision when she sent her son to make his own way in the world away from her.) I look forward to our next meeting. Goodbye for now my son.

Justus I. Order: Goodbye Mother. (As the video feed goes dark, he knows his Mother only calls him her son when he has pleased her. He knows she had to send him out into the world, but the truth is that she thoroughly prepared him. More importantly he knows that if he did not reach his full potential, she would remove him from his post. My Mother is fair he thinks. The one thing she hates more than anything is to see talent and training squandered.

What did she tell me (drill in me is more appropriate) every chance she got. Watch a professional football game and observe all those talented guys run all over the field. What do you see she would ask? I would answer I see a lot of those players faking the funk. They aren’t playing like the team actually pays them millions of dollars to be accountable when they walk out on the field.

She would emphatically agree and add that it is useless to believe that your physical body is your strongest asset! The mind is your strongest asset! Deploy your mind in unison with your body and it will bring you the success you deserve she would say.) It will be a good day as Mother has always taught me to just do what I know I need to do and all will be okay.

Mother Sayer: (In the meantime as she waits for Nicole to arrive for their 1000 meeting. She relishes in the moments she has had with Justus and the success he has generated at his division. She dismisses any doubt about her toughness on him and she knows it wasn’t in the form of a dictator. It was always done to bring out the man she knew was hiding inside that lovely boy she carried for 9 months.) Wilma?

Wilma B.T.M. Will (2^nd of 3): Yes Mother.

Mother Sayer: Inform me of Nicole’s arrival and then have her wait 5 minutes precisely before you send her in.

Wilma B.T.M. Will (2^nd of 3): Yes Mother, 5 minutes precisely as ordered.

Mother Sayer: (As ordered the last 5 minutes occurred. Mother greets Nicole and starts their face to face with sharp questions.) Are you finished with the advertising plan and the way you want it to be presented to the government? To the airline industry? To the public?

Nicole: (Wow Mother is not wasting time this morning.) The government and the public viewpoints are done. The airline industry is where my team is having the most difficulties.

Mother Sayer: Would the reason be that one of your team members decided to pillow talk with a flight attendant when he landed in D.C.? What was his name, Terence Dohey?

Nicole: Oh, I didn’t know you knew that. It was straightened out and he apologized for his error in judgment.

Mother Sayer: Did he now? Then why is there a sudden rumbling within the airlines about rumors of a new disaster system about to hit the market?

Nicole: (Suddenly Nicole realizes this is more serious that she thought. What admonishments did she warn me about would happen.) I I don’t I didn’t know the extent of his mistake. I’m so sorry Mother.

Mother Sayer: (Mother looks at Nicole with no expression to read and sighs heavily.) Nicole, do you know the old saying “loose lips sink ships”?

Nicole: Not that exact quote but I know where you’re going with this. The Arc Inc. survives and runs on corporate secrets just as any other company.

Mother Sayer: (Mother cuts her off.) Exactly and secrets take money and time to develop. In this instance, no other company can match our design and production schedule and we have a patent application already in the works at the Federal Patent Office. I can’t stand stupidity Nicole. I can’t understand why every employee under contract to the Arc not know how we operate.

Nicole: Do you want me to kick him off the team? (Nicole knows only Mother has the authority to fire any member of the Arc.)

Mother Sayer: Cast him out! Send him back to his job working in plans and management. I will deal with him further if he disappoints me again. Do you understand?

Nicole: Rest assured Mother, this will be contained. The responsibility for this offense is mine and mine alone. I understand if you want to replace me as lead on this project, but I with respect for my error ask you to graciously give me a chance to correct the mistake.

Mother Sayer: (This isn’t a time for change at the top, but I must be resolute in my displeasure of this incident with her). No Nicole. I will not remove you as head of this team. I am just disappointed. Do better, please.

Nicole: Thank you Mother. I will manage the entire team in the way that you have shown me to do it.

Mother Sayer: (I hope I heard her right, but let me make sure as there can be no more discrepancies in the implementation of my code at the ARC, Inc.) Do you mean that a more engaging air will prevail on this project?

Nicole: Yes Mother, that is exactly what I mean.

Mother Sayer: Good. Do not allow any negative emotions to invade your team or distract them from creating the best advertising program for the ‘PLAYBOY’. “All hardships are the burden of the leader”. Do you understand?

Nicole: (For the first time in her dealings with Mother Sayer, Nicole finally begins to understand how this woman governs her business, her company. It is not because she acts like a man. It is because she is diligent and her intolerance for anyone that works for her to have a slack hand when they are on her time. When you are working on a project for her, work on the project. Mother gives us plenty of time for breaks, lunch, time off for family and medical issues.) Yes Mother. This project will not experience another issue.

Mother Sayer: Very well, Nicole. We will meet again from this point on an indefinite schedule as the ‘PLAYBOY’ becomes fully operational. I will keep you in the loop, as will Justus, when the rollout is planned.

Nicole: Excellent. I will keep you informed. Good day, Mother.

Mother Sayer: Good day Nicole.

Mother Sayer: (Mother sits down in her chair and her thoughts wonder back to a time where her father, Mr. Sayer, took her with him everywhere he went. Mr. Sayer owned a diesel mechanic shop where his employees worked on 18-wheelers, farm tractors, Earthmovers and every form of huge motor invented by man. There was one employee I thought he cherished as an indispensible piece of priceless jewelry. My uncle from my mother’s side, Bartholomew Douglas, was not a ‘go-getter’ like my father.

Bartholomew Douglas had some misperceptions about how life should line up according to his wishes. He was a slacker in school living off the fortune of his good looks. He only obeyed his parents because both of them had to work and were often not home to look after him and his sister. He routinely pushed the limits of what he could get away with in every area of his life.

Bartholomew did come to his senses around 31 when my father made a generous offer to pay for him to learn to work on trucks. Bartholomew didn’t make the decision to accept my father’s offer because he knew it was the best chance to have something in life. He made it because he had a pregnant girlfriend to add to another child he fathered with another woman.

Regardless of these financial realities besetting his conscience, Bartholomew made the right choice to accept my father’s offer to become a mechanic. In spite of his mentality and ever present player tendencies, he excelled in bringing new business to the company by telling all the truckers if they liked the service they received to tell all their friends. With Bartholomew’s good looks and charisma, he was an instant hit in the shop.

Soon, my father had more business than he could handle. My father soon expanded to two locations across Louisville and put my Uncle in charge of one location near 31W close to Pleasure Ridge Park.

That’s when the trouble started. My father chose not to tell me he was having trouble with my uncle. Mr. Sayer didn’t operate that way. My father chose to do as I stated before. He took me with him everywhere after school. I did the rest of my homework in the shop that I couldn’t finish in school.

My father also made it a point to visit my uncle’s location more frequently than he did the ‘legacy’ location he had. I took notice of his every move. I was 16 at the time and eager to learn all I could from him. That is when a force I’ve never felt before began to rise and blanket the shop.

Sure, my father and mother had arguments, but they didn’t feel like the ones occurring fairly often during this period. My father, mother and all his children often ate dinner every Friday night with my Uncle and his family to give thanks to God and celebrate the family’s good fortune.

My father would often ask Bartholomew how things at the PRP location were going? Did we capture every new client on the books and add their totals to the corporate bottom line? Bartholomew would tell him he did and that all records are up to date. My father would sigh and smile acknowledging his answer and change the subject to the children. What they were going to be doing during summer break?

That is when it hit me. My father didn’t give a dam about leisure activities. He felt he had had all the fun a man was due in life. His focus was on leaving a legacy for his children, as death would eventually claim him at a time unbeknownst to him.

My father hated stupidity! My father was a fiercely loyal man. He could have cut loose my mother for all her actions that showed she was not devoted to him. Alas, my father didn’t leave my mother because he felt betrayal was worse than stealing. He could not betray his children. When my father makes a vow, he keeps it. The children still needed him and he would not let them down, period!

It was on a bright and breezy Monday morning in late October. My father was cooking bacon, egg whites, wheat toast with fresh apples and oranges cut up for breakfast. He told me he would be picking me up from school this afternoon. Until then, let’s have a good meal to start our day off right.

My mind was racing even as I smiled back to my father and complimented him on a nice spread he’d made. I waved to my father as I boarded the bus and began my day heading for school.

At 3:15 pm my father was waiting for me in the school parking lot and as I was approaching he got out of the car and hugged me. We exchanged pleasantries and off he told me we were headed to my Uncle’s mechanic and body shop location. I didn’t know what to expect so I talked to my dad about the teacher’s at school and how my friends were behaving.

My father smiled and told me to continue to tell him about my day at school. We soon arrived at the shop and my father told me to pay attention. I was surprised to see my Uncle’s wife there. It really surprised me to see my mother there too.

What’s going on father? He didn’t answer me as we walked into the office. Bartholomew was laughing with a co-worker as he came into the office. My father’s accountant, secretary and lawyer were present. My father asked everyone not invited to please excuse us for a minute.

My father first asked Bartholomew why the books at corporate showed a five hundred thousand dollar shortage? Bartholomew said, “Your records must be off brother-in-law”.

My father turned and asked Timothy to answer that. Timothy answered, “My records show that parts, labor, space and usage of this facility indicated that more work has been done here than has been recorded in the ledger for this location”.)

My father asked Bartholomew again. “Can you explain to me why the records do not match up”?

Bartholomew: I can explain Bro; these are just a few figures that we haven’t reconciled to the company figures yet, that’s all.

Mr. Sayer: Are you sure Bro? Because if it is only an unreported oversight, then what explains the rumors I hear about you gathering clients, my clients I might add, to open your own shop two blocks down from my shop?

(At that moment Shondra, my mother, jumps in asking.)

Shondra: What are you saying? Are you saying my brother has been going behind your back stealing clients and cooking the books here?

Mr. Sayer: That’s exactly what I am saying.

Shondra: (I am going to have it out with my husband when we get home, but for now I am going to set aside the fact why hasn’t he told me what was going on with Bartholomew.) Bartholomew? Is it true?

Bartholomew: (My Brother-In-Law is not as stupid as I have told myself that he is.) It is true. I thank Bro for giving me an opportunity, but I believe it is time for me to be in charge.

Shondra: Bartholomew! You.

Mr. Sayer: Stop Shondra. Bartholomew, by the words of you own mouth you have declared these actions to be your own. I’m not going to waste time expressing to you what a great betrayal this is. You wouldn’t understand anyway. I’ve made my decision and I’m ready to reveal it.

Mr. Sayer: Bartholomew. I cast you out of this company and from all relationships you’ve had or will have in the future! Security, escort this man off the premises.

Mr. Sayer: (Turns to the lawyer). Are we ready to change all the locks and all the access codes to every sensitive corporate secret to this company?

Lawyer: Yes we are Mr. Sayer. Just give the word and it is done.

Mr. Sayer: Do it.

Mother Sayer: (Being a witness to this matter left me with more answers than I had time to process right in that moment. The heartache my father must have endured before he came to the decision of what needed to be done. My mother’s brother was ‘cast out’ into utter darkness that day. Do I really need to say what I think you all should already know what happened with Bartholomew and his business venture?

That’s right Bartholomew fell on his face 3 months later. He couldn’t fund the purchase of parts for the work on the trucks he promised to fix. He couldn’t afford a record keeper, as his wife, being a nurse, certainly wouldn’t quit her job to help him run his experiment. The phone was shut off. The lights were turned off. His mechanic, singular, left because he couldn’t pay his bills not knowing whether his paycheck would bounce again.

All those clients he stole from my father came crawling back begging forgiveness and promising never to take their business to anyone else ever.

My mind, my growth was like Southeast Asian bamboo just by being exposed to an unpleasant part of life. I knew then the intricacies of human relationships were what I needed to master in order to adjudicate my life in those fierce moments of trial. I needed to be educated, period.

That is why I went to college to study nursing. It was partly from being around my auntie, but it also would provide background for me to enter the most diverse arena that would test my learning and abilities. The United States Army. I would be an officer.)

Mother Sayer: (Alright, alright enough for now. I must prepare for my session with ‘The Council’. There is not a day goes by that I do not practice my faith and also thank God for the Earthly father he bestowed to me.)

Epilogue:

Mother S. Sayer: (My father drilled into my soul this message every so often. He told me no one is meant to teach ‘for every occurrence in everyday in every part of a life you haven’t lived yet’, you must and you will develop your own ‘maxims’ that will come to represent you quickly for any behavior or actions you will take upon in life.

Make sure you put some thought into them because that is what you will share with other people verbally and non-verbally.)

The Fig Tree

Who is unfruitful? Who doesn’t understand the concept of helping those who need help the most? How can you do it when the strength and grace of your years have passed and there is still only enough for one’s self?

When the moment of truth is upon any of us the meaning is clear. Be ready with fruit (resources gained through effort and steady fulfillment of the ability to prosper with the time you’ve been given) in hand when you are asked to share.

When help is needed does it matter if you have the ability to help right at that moment? When someone is hungry does it matter if you have the ability to give to him or her what the body needs? When a word fitly spoken in due season is critical do you have the wisdom and maturity to reveal the answer desired?

The answer to all these questions must be yes! (Reference Mark 11, verses 12 – 14). The serious nature of being fruitful in due season doesn’t mean fairness or patience to wait upon any of us to blossom at the right time. If you believe the ‘one greater than all of us’ has given us the time, then the expectation is that all of us should be fruitful when the ‘one greater than us all’ needs us.

Even human beings can’t wait on other human beings to be prosperous or successful. Family can’t wait on the breadwinner (whether it be a man or a woman) to come up with the goods to feed the flock. If you knew you couldn’t come through, why did you have children in the first place? This applies to both the man and the woman! I know it sounds harsh, but we are given plenty of time to make our lives mean, hopefully goodness, to ourselves and to humanity as a whole.

Here are some suggestions. Acknowledge the truth of giving fuel to human weaknesses by lowering the safeguards to weapons that can instantly kill human beings. Silence is also a huge motivator to the mischievous among us. The wrong that goes unaddressed, unchallenged and unresolved is the wrong that spreads like a disease infecting the perpetrators and the victims.

There are people that suffer from a mental condition that reveals itself in an inflated sense of self worth. Being in possession of huge sums of money doesn’t make you a spiritual leader. While being a spiritual leader comes with the requirement that you don’t sell your birthright (for a morsel of meat as Esau) to the lowest bidder!

Let me end with this. A fig tree can blossom twice a year, which means that when Jesus came to the fig tree to eat of it and it was barren, the fig tree committed an offense and it was cursed! The fig tree should have been fruitful, but it was not.

Listen, I’ve been responsible for my life, to produce for it, for 32 years and the one thing I have figured out in that length of time is that it is easy to feed only one person. The problem I’ve seen is that most people don’t understand or calculate that the cost of life increases exponentially when you vow to take care of another human being. If you can’t honestly say that I am ready to have children or take care of a spouse, then do not attempt fate.

Life is not easy nor is it hard. Life is laced with sufficient difficulty that is uniform for all of us. Don’t blame your neighbor for your troubles if you choose to not learn the basic principles that are proven to make life better. Lastly, don’t add to your difficulties. We have plenty difficulties already assigned to us and we don’t want to be caught short when we are called upon to feed a hungry visitor.

Episode Fourth Night: Nicole gets her chance

Prologue: (Mother Sayer always wondered why people practiced the art of self-pity? There was a time when she didn’t understand a lot of things, but it was at an age, 9, that everything began to happen for her.

Mr. Sayer married her mother, the former Shondra Mae Douglas, and he became her father in every meaningful and structural sense of the words father and daughter. While most men would not immerse themselves in the upbringing of children born of the blood of another man, Mother Sayer’s father was a detailed and business oriented man. Mr. Sayer was a man who lived life by a set of rules honed through many years of living in a flawed America.

He always said to her, “Pointing out the obstruction in front of you doesn’t make you a victim nor does it elicit sympathy from God or men. It simply tests whether you will use that brain on the top of your body to defeat the stop, or not.”

Mother Sayer began at that moment to understand what maybe her mother didn’t realize she had. Mr. Sayer was an enabler. He did not believe in despair because someone said he was born into a skin color he had no decision in choosing. He found it offensive to ever give place or standing to such a thought!

Mother Sayer matured rapidly from the age of 9 at the speed of learning as much as she could and as fast as she could from her father. She thinks this is what walled her mind into the impenetrable fortress it is to this day.)

Mother Sayer: Nicole, can you bring me the morning attendance roster, the weekly sales figures and order some fruit and nuts from the kitchen with tea and coffee.

Nicole: Yes Mother, would bananas, apple slices and green grapes be okay.

Mother Sayer: Excellent choices. Make sure the mixed nuts have real salt and not that fake seawater kind.

Nicole: (Laughs) Of course Mother. Will be in with the tray in 15 minutes.

Mother Sayer: (How long has Nicole been with me now? Has it been 5 years? Her evaluation luncheon is coming due soon and I hope she decides to stay on with me for many years to come.) Don’t bother knocking just come in when you have our order.

Nicole: I sure will Mother.

(The door opens and a staff member from the kitchen, Eric, helps Nicole place the food and beverages on the table and spread out all the cups, napkins and eating utensils.)

Mother Sayer: Ah, good. Let’s sit and talk for a while. How are your children doing? What are they 7 and 12 now?

Nicole: Yes Mother, Jeremy is 7 and Angie is 12. (How does she keep up with the ages of my children? Their father doesn’t even remember their birthdays let alone how old they are now.)

Mother Sayer: (Mother is never surprised anymore by the look on her people that resemble bewilderment over why she keeps up with the lives of her employees. This is the time when matters become serious. Nicole must be bombarded with responsibilities and critical projects. I need to know the limits of her abilities now. Mother sighs to herself. It must be done.) Nicole, I have a project I want you to manage for me.

Mother Sayer: It is run out of this office, with some travel required between here and South Korea. Are you interested?

Nicole: (I have been waiting for 5 years for Mother to offer me something I can expand my reach and prove my worth. I wonder what it is about. I have paid attention to the office gossip on how to handle this moment, so let me play the matter a little reserved until I know all the details.) I appreciate everything you’ve done for me Mother. I am honored that you think me capable of handling more responsibility. Tell me about the project and what I must do.

Mother Sayer: I need a point person on marketing the “Playboy”.

Nicole: The “Playboy”.

Mother Sayer: The “Plane Locator Mayday Beacon Deploy”.

Nicole: You want me to sell it to the airline industry and more important the Federal Aviation Administration.

Mother Sayer: That’s exactly what I want you to do. (Mother could make herself feel surprised, but it would be an insult to her talent at picking people. It would also be a slight against Nicole as she clearly has been waiting for the chance at something like this. Mother realizes she may have missed her chance if she waited any longer.)

Nicole: I want it!

Mother Sayer: (Mother employs her patented silent 60 second look as she scans Nicole for any semblance of uncertainty or doubt. Good.) Very well Nicole I know you will do a good job for us.

Mother Sayer: I need you to listen to me for a few more minutes. The particulars are such that you will have a staff of 9 associates. I am giving you Amy Johnson and Park, Sue-Hye. They are your advisors and you are their mentor. I mean I want them to learn from you. Do you understand?

Nicole: Yes Mother. You want me to teach them all I know and help them to become more valuable to the company.

Mother Sayer: Your evaluation depends entirely on it. Now you will coordinate with product development and engineering. I want you to create anticipation in the marketplace based on their timeline for the rollout of the “Playboy”.

Mother Sayer: Lastly, I want you to create an environment on this project with your team that they feel like only you can bring out the best creativity in them. In other words practice what you’ve learned whether you got it from your parents or you learned it on your own. Thus, be respectful and inviting at all times.

Mother Sayer: There is no way I can talk about every contingency that will come up for you in this project. Do you understand what I am saying?

Nicole: Yes Mother. All will not be easy, but all will not be difficult either. I must think not only of this project, but about the growth and learning curve of my people as well.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles to herself and looks at Nicole as if she is her precious daughter. She knows there are still human emotions and negative tendencies in all of us. Maybe, she thinks she should leave her with her enemies quote.) One more thing Nicole.

Nicole: Mother.

Mother Sayer: Beware of your enemies my dear.

Nicole: I don’t have any enemies Mother.

Mother Sayer: (Mother thinks to herself, yes you do.) Then humor me in my folly.

Nicole: (Nicole thinks to herself. That was a mistake. What a stupid thing to say. Just hear her out.) Alright Mother, I am listening.

Mother Sayer: This isn’t to discourage you by any means Nicole. When you start this project you will detect those on your team and those who must deal with your position and mandate to cooperate with you. It is better to be prepared for it than for you to display any frustration that can be mistaken as weakness by their resistance to your authority.

Nicole: Sorry Mother, I see your point now.

Mother Sayer: I want you to repeat after me and memorize this quote. “Welcome all your enemies to the table, for it is easier to see them in the light than to search for them in the dark.”

Nicole: “Welcome all your enemies to the table, for it is easier to see them in the light than to search for them in the dark.”

Mother Sayer: (Mother looks at the fruit and nuts on the table and thinks, my taste buds are going to be more happier than a whale eating a bounty of shrimp swirling in the ocean.) May all your desires for this project be realized beyond what you are thinking today. Best wishes, Nicole. Now let’s enjoy this delightful spread in front of us.

Beautiful Competition

May I speak first the relief felt by the Gods. The Gods have been denied the wonder and physical majesty of the female athlete in competition since ancient Greece. And you think you’ve been wronged. In this commentary I give congratulations and gratitude to all the female athletes in the world competing in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. Special recognition goes out to my team of astonishing American female athletes as they dazzle our perceptions.

As I’ve struggled to process visually and mentally what my eyes tell me I must believe, I’m still struggling to record it in memory and stop the constant playback. Let me start with the swimming competition as I will highlight two athletes in and out of the pool. Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles.

The Gods may have been distracted seeing that the Earth is essentially a big pool of water when the American 4×200 relay team started their race. The cheering and the competition elevated their curiosity to come take a look. That was a mistake as this race would accelerate their hearts and make it problematic for their lungs to catch air. Katie Ledecky would not and did not disappoint them. She patiently waited as she watched her team fall behind.

Katie was almost there as power began to build up in her muscles. The Gods could sense the crescendo rising in her as she waited to powerfully spring from that platform. Now! Into the water and if my eyes were deceiving me it looked like the water was parting to give her the preeminence. Smashing to the surface did Katie emerge like a shark flinging 15 feet from the depth of the ocean.

Arms and legs obeying every command as Katie instructed her majestic body to flow as one form through the laps of the race as victory was the only acceptable culmination. The Gods must be watching I imagine she believed as they are receiving a gift centuries overdue as she touched the wall to end the race. I will chance it to say that there will be a hundred years of prosperity to our world as a gift from the Gods for such an unbelievable spectacle delivered to their dominion!

Simone Biles phenomenal floor routine to win the gold medal was a visual myth. How else can you explain a current event as historical lore? It’s as if Simone Biles propelled herself into the air from that beam with power mere mortals dream of possessing. The Gods were jockeying for the best position to watch her as she touched those platforms knowing they were fearful of letting her down much less the Gods.

The cameras recorded all of this and still Simone leaves everyone in the world to question what they witnessed. We have been deprived of the contributions of females to the Monolith of Sports and Olympic Immortality for far too many generations. I am glad I was born in a time to celebrate and champion the glory of the female athlete!

The Tree of Life?

Ever watch a fruit tree as it pushes its’ way up through the topsoil and into the sky? How the tree you’ve been waiting for from one to five years has finally taken root. The strength it gains as it grows from day to day? When the tree eventually starts to bear fruit on the vine?

As a tree grows in its’ early years, the patience it must grudgingly concede and endure to wait for its’ branches to gather strength to hold the weight of its’ fruit. When the time has passed for the branches to now spurt out from the trunk, I can feel the confidence they must have to know they can support fruit along the entire length of a branch!

This instructive example of another form of life can teach us many things about how to be patience while learning and growing, so when we walk out into life on our own we can be prepared, as much as we can be, for whatever life throws at us.

Some apple, banana and orange trees have several large selections growing along the branch. Some of the branches have secondary branches that stretch from it with giant size fruit of their own. How can a fruit tree teach us anything about how human beings should cultivate their brains and develop their mind and body you ask?

Your brain, (your land, hence landcause.com) is the trunk of your body of which all the body is nourished and commanded. Should you not cultivate, educate and demonstrate to yourself and to the world the fruit that is on your vine? Those of you who like to find affirmation in the Bible should check out Ephesians 4 verse 16.

Tilling your land (brain, mind) carries the hope of your future in whatever endeavors in life you plan to pursue. Education is not a prison sentence nor is it a chore to churn through in anticipation of more entertaining fare. Education is your freedom and retaining it has the potential to make new fruit bloom along the vine of your family for generations in the future!

Listen to me now very carefully. I need all within the reach of my words to champion education. Cultivate new minds with truthful council and steady commitment. Make education of the brain one of your top priorities. Completely understand that just like the ground needs to be broken before it can be planted; human beings sometimes need their ground broken (metaphorically speaking) before planting can begin.

Where Hatred Lies, Leave It There

Do you see it? Take a look over the edge. The crevice. My how the walls drop down as the sides close in ever so tightly to seemly join together at the bottom. Hatred lives in the bottom of that crevice along its’ spiked and smooth jagged wall face.

It closes in, the crevice, as you go further down into the darkness. The traversable space shrinks and squeezes around you. At this point, it leaves only those bent on finding hatred to continue on.

*Sidetrack here for a moment* (Hatred lies at the bottom of the heart when and if it is present. Only those who don’t mind how hatred leaves small cuts on the heart will continue to seek it out.)

(Let’s continue with this description and warning about hatred, as hatred is deceptively mischievous.)

Once those seeking hatred make it down to the bottom of that dark crevice; hatred is not so easily captured. As you reach to capture it, it squirms and shifts position, maybe as a warning to those who wish to release it. Hatred is a power that demands a willing host! Hatred does not allow someone to skirt blame or deny using it unknowingly.

Once allowed to reside in the heart of humanity, hatred is a shifty deceiver that won’t allow anyone to tame or direct it to any purpose but sorrow and destruction. Hatred desires to hurt, disrupt and destroy like a wall of water generated by a tsunami sweeping away all in its’ path.

Let me sum this post up for those who don’t follow my blog. Human beings are too ‘stupid’ to handle hatred. I read somewhere that you should ‘love even your enemies!’ I’ll tell you why. Because when hatred is allowed deep into the heart, then released to commit its’ mayhem, and afterwards no human alive knows how to imprison it again.

Maybe the Great Spirit, Allah, God in Trinity, however you refer to the one greater than yourself knew humanity needed natural behavioral boundaries and limits of conscience. Those who believe in a Supreme Being should understand that some things should remain bound in chains until all eternity. Those who seek to fool with such powers as hatred, seek to cause discord among people for personal or political gain.

My admonishment to all if hatred is being sold to you. The price is too high. Seek to solve problems in your life through a hard self-assessment. Seek to solve problems in your community by joining together with neighbors of like minds. Seek to solve problems on the job by using interpersonal skills. As a great chef would say, “ingredients must be mixed to create a great dish”. A diverse nation such as America has a strong advantage over the rest of the world. We just refuse to allow everyone to add to the pot.

In closing, hatred is not a human power from which you want to feed off its’ energy. Hatred will burn you out quicker than a gas fire at a drag race. My advice. Try the stronger human power of love; at least you can be renewed by love’s circular energy.

Rules are Energy Sockets!

Little children must watch the road by looking both ways before crossing the street at the crosswalk. Washing hands is required before setting down to eat a meal. Children must be quiet and follow the instructions of the teacher, as he or she is an extension of school policy.

Everyone that drives a motor vehicle or rides some form of device that propels humans through muscle movement, must follow all traffic laws governing the road. Be quiet in a theater while the movie is playing so all can get their monies worth. Obey the law, and if the law is unjust, petition the legislative branch to change it or make it right. Take it to court if you have to.

Rules also apply to patiently waiting for something especially if you cause the delay in having it initially. Peanut butter. The natural kind is marked by the separation of the oil from the peanut butter. I mistakenly mixed the peanut butter before I skimmed off most of the oil resulting in peanut butter too thin for my crackers. It was a mess.

Now I had two choices. Wait until the peanut butter separates, or continue to make the cracker sandwiches with thin peanut butter. I chose the former. This is where most people mess up. The manufacturer of the natural peanut butter I purchased didn’t make the mistake. It was my mistake! It took about 3 weeks to separate, but the wait was worth it.

Now I want to talk about something more serious. The rules that apply to adulthood and life long learning. How many would answer in the affirmative that knowledge is more lasting in your failures than in your successes?

Consider grapes growing on the vine. Are they all uniform in size? Some get more nourishment than others right? Using metaphors to decipher important messages hidden in plain sight are essential to making sense of the issues of life. Everyone comes into this world at different levels feeding and emerging off of energy directly from the vine. The question remains. If your portion was short, how do you get the rest after you are cut off from the vine?

Listen to me. What knowledge and education you didn’t get at the place you grew up (the vine) can be acquired through plugging into schools, colleges, apprenticeships, work-study programs, better people, etc.…

Rules aren’t a barrier to those who through self-restraint demonstrate a need for the protection rules offer. For instance, if you drop out of high school the chances are you will be imprisoned in tedious and mediocre jobs the rest of your life. If you qualify for programs of skill development in any of the different paths mentioned above, then the odds dictate that your levels of success in earnings will increase.

Rules don’t care if you follow them or not. Imagine with me for a moment. A figure shrouded in a hooded coat offering you entry into a room with opportunities from education, apprenticeships, and so forth as I mentioned above.

Do you think this mysterious figure cares if you plugged into any of the vast array of choices to help you better your life? No, I’m afraid not.

All this attendant is there to do is make sure these options are available to all while watching the clock spin on your life. Now to be indifferent this dark figure could be laughing at you because he knows the solution to your problem is there for the taking. It is your choice to make. If college or higher learning is too high a wall to overcome, then make another choice!

I think this dark figure is laughing because I was once trapped in the stupidity of my own inability to understanding the time I had was precious and I couldn’t recover it once it passed.

Yeah, it’s your life and you can do what you want to do. Even decisions you make of sound mind still fall into that category. Don’t let the figure shrouded in darkness watch the clock run out on your life. Follow the rules and if the rules are wrong fight to change them through sound judgment and wisdom. Get up and go get it!

Episode Three: Call Upon Your Strength

Prologue:

(Mother S. Sayer always has things on her mind. Whether it is the issues her associates are struggling to address in the workplace, or the issues her people must address in their private lives. Mother Sayer never wishes she had less trouble; she wishes for more time to adequately determine who needs her help more. Mother Sayer wishes she could keep at bay anything that would drive her people asunder because she has created her business, ‘The ARC, INC’, not to be a place where people come to do some work and collect a paycheck.

Mother Sayer created her business to move humanity away from the pernicious tendencies present in us all. Mother knows that one pronouncement labeling homosexuality destructive to society, leads the less thoughtful among us to lash out foolishly against people who don’t behave like them.

Mother knows with means (money and influence) comes responsibility and she emphatically embraces her duty. Let’s enjoy a moment of her life when she had to make a choice over what was right and wrong.)

Mother Sayer: (The events of the day and past week have highlighted the fragility of humankind. Many tornadoes in the Midwest and a plane crash have claimed the lives of many people. Families are hurting now and the losses to these units of strength will be hard to restore.)

Mother Sayer: (She calls to the Chief of her staff, Ntare Bolder). Ntare, are the preparations ready for Wednesday’s gathering?

Ntare Bolder: Mother, the assortment of beverages is set, but the vendor has not set a date to deliver them as of our conversation. The menu and the seating arrangements are per your instructions, and the children’s dining area will be adequately staffed with chaperones.

Mother Sayer: Lock down that beverage delivery no later than 1500 on Monday. Everything else is fine as you always perform your duties in excellence Mr. Bolder.

(The phone rings and a beautiful teenager on her staff, Eloisa, directs the caller to hold as she tells Mother it is Justus waiting on the line.)

Mother Sayer: Justus, what a pleasure it is to hear from you on this fine Saturday afternoon.

Justus I. Order: It is good to hear your voice as well Mother. I am sorry to be short, but you wanted an immediate update concerning the project.

Mother Sayer: Is it feasible?

Justus I. Order: Yes Mother, it is surprisingly adaptable in scale to every plane flying the skies now.

Mother Sayer: (Mother smiles with giddiness that people falsely believes children are its’ sole possessors). Good when can we begin to field test a prototype? Oh, let me back up Justus. Did the computer models deploy upon the plane crashing?

Justus: It is okay Mother. I am giddy too. If we can’t prevent a plane from falling out of the sky, then we can certainly locate it quickly with this new technology.

Mother Sayer: Make sure our engineers understand that the chemical must be lighter than water if the plane crashes at sea.

Justus: Yes Mother. The sensors on the device are designed to detect a difference in pressure as it sinks. We’ve set it to deploy at 100 feet below the surface of the water.

Mother Sayer: The color?

Justus: We are still perfecting the color, as seawater tends to distort light along the ultraviolet spectrum. We will lock it down and match the volatile nature of the conditions to each situation over land or water.

Mother Sayer: Good good. Now what about a secondary system to enhance the effective nature of the primary device?

Justus: We’ve developed a beacon that activates upon crash with a GPS locator that in the event of water crash it floats in a sonar buoy type platform. The device upon deployment records its’ first position, and as it floats it records it’s trail so there is no doubt where it came from.

Mother Sayer: Like Hansel and Gretel leaving breadcrumbs to find their way back home.

Justus: Precisely Mother!

Mother Sayer: Are you grabbing the magnitude of this project to the aviation industry? We could provide immediate location for rescue operations to begin for fallen aircraft!

Justus: Yes Mother. It will bring swift attention and resources to an exact location instead of search and rescue assets being diluted across vast areas along an aircrafts’ last known path.

Mother Sayer: I have kept you long enough. Please proceed with the upmost expediency.

Justus: Thank you Mother. I will keep you updated.

(Mother Sayer takes a moment to relish the accomplishment. She presses the intercom and speaks into it.)

Mother Sayer: Ntare, please have the car brought around to the front.

(The car is waiting out front as Mother grabs her electronic devices. She will alert her daughter when she is on her way to office.)

Mother Sayer: Doyenne, are you close to completion?

Daughter Doyenne: Yes Mother, a few more calculations and the press release will be available and at your disposal to be released according to your timetable.

Mother Sayer: Good. I will be there shortly.

(Mother’s thoughts again fall back to a time when her daughter was obsessed with the approval of people that didn’t mean her any good. Mother remembers her approach to Doyenne as she was confounded and off course was to let her navigate her way back to the right path on her own.

Mother knew that Doyenne had to learn these lessons herself. Valuable insight comes from being in the situation and figuring things out in solitude. Mother knew she couldn’t come to the rescue because it would teach her daughter that her Mother would be there to solve all her problems.

Mother thinks back now and sees presently that her daughter came through those trials with a few scars. ‘Scars are good if the wearer knows how they got there’. Mother knows that people who ignore their trials will still have the scars, but they will never understand why they wear them.)

Mother Sayer: (mumbles under her voice). How did I come out on top? My tour in Afghanistan in 2007 was not without pitfalls or outright traps.

(Being a nurse in a warzone was not an easy tour of duty. Being a female assigned to convoy duty that last week of duty was the worse of my life.

The images of blood and carnage are still fresh as if it was happening right now. American soldiers along with Afghans were laying everywhere in the road. Mother knew the security situation was tense if not downright a free for all. Work quickly she thought in her head as the Americans and Afghans readied their soldiers for a hasty withdrawal.

Mother knew that care was not going to be ‘do no harm’ in that moment. The point was to get everybody inside his or her armored vehicles and get back to the FOB.

The FOB she thought. How did I come to yearn for a place so bad in the midst of all this death and sorrow?

Mother immediately corralled those thoughts and focused on the situation. She yelled orders to her team as her internal clock was ticking like crazy signaling danger is coming.

Mother was almost in her armored vehicle when a round pierced the tricep muscle of her right arm. She did everything in the world to muffle the pain, but her verbal skills failed as she let out a silent scream of shit while she slammed the door of her vehicle.

Mother yelled to the driver, go! It wasn’t bad the wound she thought. She was fortunate.)

Mother Sayer: Doyenne, meet me downstairs so we can discuss the press release as we head toward the office.

Daughter Doyenne: Yes Mother.

(Mother Sayer arrives and the greetings with her daughter are brisk but purposeful.)

Mother Sayer: Let me see the press release.

Daughter Doyenne: (Hands her Mother the paper and waits silently as she reads it.) Is it to your satisfaction Mother?

Mother Sayer: Yes, Daughter with a few more action words it will be. Let’s finish upstairs.

(As Mother Sayer talks with her daughter and some of her associates, she knows that her company is poised for a major breakthrough in an industry dominated by white men who don’t value diversity as much as they profess they do.

That’s a story to be told at a time when it matters to my associates she thinks.)

Mother Sayer: Doyenne, I appreciate everything you do here. Do you know that?

Daughter Doyenne: Yes, Mother I do.

Mother Sayer: Good. Go and enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will see you Monday.

Daughter Doyenne: I’m going to go to dinner with a couple of the ladies on my staff.

Mother Sayer: Very good. Don’t stay out too late.

Epilogue:

(The day ended with promise as many projects were successfully rounded off to their enclosure. Mother is careful not to display many emotions in front of her children, staff or her associates. She prefers to allow her emotions space to roam like air filling up a room. ‘No one cares it’s there, but they all need it to stay alive.’

Mother thinks this new invention will bring that emotion back to the families who mourn the unfortunate lives claimed when tragedy strikes with little or no warning.)

Where is it lacking?

Look at this data on this website and follow along to what I’m about to hit really hard because this theory being pushed by the political right is all ‘smoke and mirrors’. The U.S. economy’s Gross Domestic Product year by year can be found at this website, www.bea.gov. The Bureau of Economic Analysis shows you in current-dollar estimates from 1929 to 2011.

In 1929 GDP was 103.6 billion. In 1954 GDP was 380.4 billion. In 1979 GDP was 2,562.2 trillion. In 1994 GDP was 7,085.2. In 2004 GDP was 11,853.3 trillion. In 2011 GDP was 15,075.7 trillion.

Where is the U.S. economy in its’ great assortment of industries lacking in “enough to go around”? When has this country ever had zero expansion in its’ history? Somebody needs to answer these questions for me right now!

Okay, so at no time did the United States of America stop growing its’ economy. Then tell me why do we have a political party on the right whipping up people to fight against each other for a perceived lack of economic opportunity?

The numbers do not lie! America has grown over 8 straight decades! Why am I so easily fooled into believing my fellow citizens, legal or not, are taking from me something that the entire country has kept going in spite of its’ exclusionary tactics alive and well today. Everybody has contributed to the vitality of this country!

Maybe some of you in the majority have relished your access card (doors opened with little or no effort or qualification but color of skin) too much, seeing that many minorities now possess access cards.

Could it be that access is given on merits and abilities and many minorities have honed those skills to high levels because that is what it took most of the time to get a job?

Maybe “the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice”, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I have said it many times, “progress will take off and leave you standing in a dust cloud if you don’t have the skills necessary to take a seat and ride it to your destination”.

Just because you are coughing up all that dust and waiting for a clear view doesn’t mean we should pity you. If you have enjoyed a benefit (access card to the good America has to offer at the expense of others) that you didn’t earn, stop being mad at losing it and humble yourself to care about the troubles of your fellow citizens.

Everyone needs to have the same access you’ve enjoying erroneously to the American economy. There is no shortage of resources and certainly there is enough to go around for everybody in this country. Stop being angry with other people and be angry with yourself because you have contributed to the suffering of others when you enjoy a system rigged to oppress everyone that was unfortunately not in the majority in America.

There has always been an unbalance to America’s promise, but the arc of the universe seeks balance and it never loses.

Sources of Human Power!

“First I wish to thank all of my people. Everyone that has signed up on LandCause.com. I appreciate your confidence in me and the knowledge, wisdom and experience I’ve acquired and willingly share with each of you. As you continue reading this post, I must caution you (as I’ve stated in prior posts) that this edition will be intense.”

I will only briefly review 7 of the vast number of emotions and state of being (many sources of power are contained in groups) that have kept me charged up throughout my life. Defiance, Compassion, Integrity, Affirmation, Family, Spirituality, and Love. Let’s begin.

The power source that has carried me and even now courses through my veins is Defiance! Defy everything. Many things in your life (yours only) are inappropriate uses of your time and energy. Defy the way things are going for you right now if they are producing negative consequences. Just because someone says a woman can be President of the United States doesn’t make it happen. A woman, Secretary Clinton, a candidate probably more qualified than 30 of the last 44 President of the U.S., has to stand up and take the heat! I will come back to Defiance before I end this post.

Compassion is underrated. It is not wrong to still have compassion for those who have done wrong. It doesn’t mean you agree with the behavior. It only means you demand more from them and by demanding they do better the person usually becomes a better person. It means you will not dismiss or excuse someone doing wrong to others under shield of law or title. Authority is kept in check by looking at something and calling it what it is!

Integrity is power that should be applied when it is suitable to the event that demands it. This power requires a certain knowledge about humanity and what is judged to be right and wrong without projecting false piety. Understanding that fault lies within all of us should help you strive to avoid questionable situations, which would eventually bring you to a state of being that shady circumstances will give you a wide berth as they pass you by.

Affirmation is a power source that gives you an instant boost of energy. Good job or I am fortunate to have you as a friend is very powerful stuff arriving on the ears of its’ intended listener. Man can you see their eyes light up metaphorically it looks like the sparks from a blown transformer. Affirmation is also knowing that you are consistently doing the things necessary to have a better life by seeing the results of your actions. Whether from others or simple self-awareness, affirmation is a boost of energy that has long lasting effects for your life.

Family. When family is going right it is a powerful energy source. When family is going wrong it is a powerful energy source. Sometimes people get caught up in the environment where they’ve found themselves and it confounds them to their destruction. I grew up in a dirt-poor family, but I never allowed the reality of those circumstances to falsely feed my future. I didn’t know how to succeed in life because I did make many errors along the way, but I set my compass to success and struck out on that path after I left my parents home. Family, if you view everyone through clear spectacles, then knowing what you are going to get from them or not is still a powerful source of energy.

Spirituality is mesmerizing sometimes when it is used improperly for and against people. Spirituality is based on servitude. It calms and quiets us when we are fearful. It steadies our hand when we have to accept the things we do wrong and the punishment that comes after. If you find yourself using spirituality by thinking you aren’t caught in a fault that is consuming someone else, let me assure you that your eye is not clear of debris either. Spirituality is to be shared in the meekness of learning with similar persons. Spirituality is natural. Spirituality is not an audition for a part in a movie. Spirituality is not an act so stop it! Spirituality flows naturally and never believe otherwise.

Love is not only physical. Love is showing up everyday for yourself (got to love yourself first) and for anyone you are responsible for as well. Love is manifested in listening to that voice that tells you you’re messing up. Love is understanding when you say you will care for a spouse it is unconditional, but love is not singular in marriage (both must love) because two people have to pull in the same direction. Love in freely lifting the heavy load of a relationship. Love is being present for everything (as much as you can be) like a foundation is the structure that steadies your footing. Love is when you are needed; you change everything to be there. Love is mature and not mischievous. Love is forgiving, but not foolish. Love takes on many properties and variations. Alas, I will come back to love in a later post.

Let’s end this post by discussing more about the power of defiance. Growing up in Alabama I was told I had to watch out or be careful of a lot of dangers in the world. The police were not all serving and protecting so be wary of some of them. You know what. I learned the limitations of their authority as well as what I should do when I encountered them.

I washed my clothes all the time at the Laundromat in my neighborhood years ago. One day the Laundromat didn’t set their alarm and when I opened the door there it sounded. I stayed until the police came and answered their questions, which of course were worded like I was there to rob the place. I showed them my dirty clothes, which didn’t fully convince them, but I guess they relented and moved on.

I defied the notion that I should have left and let the police figure it out. No one is above the law and I knew how to handle a couple of junior detectives anyway. There were two cops that showed up and we all were the same race, which we’re not in the majority. The dial of defiance for me is turned all the way up at all times.

Listen to me carefully. I am not advocating being a reckless idiot fighting against every structure of society because you can. I am defiant against bigotry, hatred, and discrimination, low wages which is a form of oppression actually. I defy anything that hurts my fellow human being.
Let me address the persecution of gays, lesbians and transgender people. History is awash with examples of those in power demonizing or labeling people who don’t act, look and behave like those in power demand. They turn the minds of people to believing their discrimination or hatred against these people is authorized or okay.

If you have to be the only one standing in defiance of this blatant hatred, do the right thing because no one has the right to make you hate anyone. Reject this hatred by the Republican Party! They are not better than anyone else and neither are any of us to include myself.

Defy defy defy this foolishness and let people live their life the way they want. Everyone knows what he or she can and can’t do under legitimate laws.

Don’t expend your power on endeavors that will never make your life better. I will return to this topic in upcoming posts. Thanks for your time.

Episode Two: Artistry in Battle

Prologue:

(It has been a trying week. Rolling out new products across markets receptive to our products has been more problematic than expected. The office was awash in activity. Staff was communicating with districts across America and the world shoring up any breaches or cracks in our products being viewed anyway but positive to potential customers. Mother S. Sayer arrives around 10 am expecting an update, not excuses.)

Sarah W. Certainty (1st of 3): Mother Sayer, greetings on a day that holds promise much potential glory for us all.

Mother S. Sayer: Greetings Sarah. Indeed, this Friday holds the promise of many things in and out of our control. Report.

Sarah W. Certainty: Our Asian markets have given our software program that maps each building’s interior with easy to follow routes of escape in case of imminent danger a place of honor in the daily fabric of their lives.

Sarah W. Certainty: Also, the software ties into police and civil authority to make departing any city or area wrought with danger instantly known to all who has a cell phone and our APP.

Mother Sayer: Very well. What of our American rollout?

Sarah W. Certainty: Most of the State’s Governments have agreed to our cost sharing and revenue scale for use of their infrastructure. We are still filtering the rollout down to each and every city and local municipality. Once their officials realize the potential of such a system; then we will negotiate cost and usage rights accordingly.

Mother Sayer: Good Sarah. You are all I’ve foreseen you could be. I want to see you briefly around 3 pm with a final update. (Mother Sayer touches Sarah’s face lovingly and follows her staff into the elevator.)

(As the elevator opens on the 35th floor that houses the administrative wing at the end of the corridor. Mother smiles as she always does because this is the field that is growing before her eyes and that is why her office sits right in the mist of the life blood of her business. Her people are her life!)

Mother Sayer: Wilma. Is the feed up and running yet?

Wilma B. T. M. Will (2nd of 3): Your son is awaiting your call.

Mother Sayer: Good. Activate the feed in 5 minutes. Can you bring me some tea please? Thank you.
(The satellite feed is up and functioning. Mother and Justus are able to speak over a crystal clear HD feed of voice and video.)

Justus I. Order: Mother. It is always a pleasure to see and speak with you.

Mother Sayer: Justus. As I am always uplifted by your success and the success of your team. My faith in you was not misplaced and for that I am especially happy for you.

Justus I. Order: (Justus seems always slightly offended by this peculiar comment from his Mother. He thinks she somehow doubted he had the ability to succeed in life beyond the cover of her wings.) Yes Mother, my division is meeting the numbers you’ve assigned this team.

Mother Sayer: (Mother knew her son would react this way at her less than stellar support for his ability to fulfill his part of her business plan. She waits 10 seconds before she answers his exasperated outburst.) Do you feel I’ve been less than forthcoming in my praise of your efforts Justus?

Justus I. Order: I meant no disrespect Mother.

Mother Sayer: Maybe Justus, I don’t see the reason why I should be turning cartwheels across the floor of my office when I read the reports on your division.

Justus I. Order: What do you mean Mother?

Mother Sayer: Why am I getting reports of disorder in your division? How come people of different races, religions, sexual orientations, etcetera…. Seem to have trouble producing their best work in your division? Tell me why? Before you answer you may want to collect your thoughts?

Justus I. Order: (How does she know all about my division and the troubles going on here? I specifically ordered Caroline and Jacob to not allow this discourse to get back to my Mother. Why did I think that was a task they could keep in house anyway? My Mother has her people all over my division.) Mother, I have critical positions held by people of strong will and unrelenting positions in their thoughts on where the division should focus their efforts.

Mother Sayer: Go on, I want to hear every detail before I give you my opinion.

Justus I. Order: (He knows he can’t sugar-coat his read back of the events that have taken place, so he just lays it all out.) Caroline, Jacob, and Victoria comprise my command staff. Caroline and Victoria are lesbians. Jacob is Bisexual and the instigator of many of the conflicts in the office.

Justus I. Order: I told them to not be combative when it comes to whose ideas we run with to meet the overall goals of your conglomerate Mother. Lately Caroline and Victoria decided to work together on your software to map and coordinate civil service emergency data to the populations in cities all over the world. It was their breakthrough that made the software possible through an APP.

Justus I. Order: Jacob didn’t like the success they rightfully worked to achieve. He started to sow discord around the office that they were sleeping together and that’s why they stumbled across the answers they did to make the software marketable.

Justus I. Order: The moment I heard of the problems I called all three in my office and told Jacob that was not the way we do business here. He needs to apologize and cease these outrageous rumors immediately!

Mother Sayer: Did he?

Justus I. Order: He did for a while. Until I noticed he shunned the projects I assigned them together.

Mother Sayer: So, he was embarrassed at his behavior or what?

Justus I. Order: No. He just felt ashamed at loosing his composure about who gets the credit for the team’s contribution to the company.

Mother Sayer: (She understands the disappointment of Jacob and knows it is a character trait of the young. She doesn’t like it and wishes she didn’t have to waste time addressing the issue, but she knows it is the cost of doing business. The business is her people and she must stabilize and uplift their minds out of many disappointments.) I want Jacob on this call in 10 minutes. Do you understand? Bring him here now!

Justus I. Order: (Justus sends his friend Carl down the hall to escort Jacob to his office). Mother wishes to speak with you Jacob. (Justus sees Jacob’s brightness darken as he reactivates the audio and video of the conference call with Mother.)

Justus I. Order: I am back Mother. I have Jacob here with me as well.

Mother Sayer: Jacob, have a seat. Why are you letting your breakup with Tasha affect you work?

Jacob: (Jacob is stunned that Mother Sayer knows about his break up with Tasha. He tries to compose himself and answer her without trembling or anger.) Mother Sayer, my apologies. I am not distraught over my breakup with Tasha. It was a relationship that wasn’t going anywhere.

Mother Sayer: So you two were engaged in a sexual tryst?

Jacob: Yes Mother, that is all it was. I am completely sorry for causing problems here at work. I promise you it will not happen again.
Mother Sayer: (She stares at Jacob for 45 seconds to see if his body language gives off any clues to his future behavior. Mother knows that she cannot tolerate stupidity of any kind. All her life she has walked with Women and Men who possessed the power to destroy the world if they so desired.) I will not have this conversation with you again Jacob. Do you understand me?

Jacob: Yes Mother Sayer.

Mother Sayer: Jacob. When my son hired you. I knew your energy and ambition swayed him to not pass over you and I agreed. Your contribution to this organization has been invaluable. Don’t let your leisure activities transcend the barrier between the two constructs of your life.

Mother Sayer: Go back to work Jacob. I hope this send off portends great things coming when your name is spoken again.

Mother Sayer: Justus. Implement protocol 3 on his actions at work for 6 months.

Justus I. Order: Protocol 3 for 6 months. Understood Mother, it will be done immediately.

Mother Sayer: Justus. I want to share more of the code with you that has guided my life and enhanced my success.

Justus I. Order: I thank you and I am eager to hear your blessings upon me.

Mother Sayer: Very well. I’ve worked with people that don’t have time for stupidity or frivolous behavior that doesn’t have a connection to solving problems. Every effort must be toward a goal. Every action exerts energy full of purpose and direction. Nothing is done without a goal attached.

Mother Sayer: You know why I share my code with you and why a code is critical to life and success?

Justus I. Order: As much as I know, a code silences many calls to exert energy toward worthless endeavors.

Mother Sayer: (I am truly impressed with my son’s answer. He has certainly grown and added to his understanding of life as he has been away from his Mother.) Good Justus.

Mother Sayer: You know what a routine (code) does. It settles your thoughts. It allows you to focus your energy. It then serves as the transit point to direct your energy to produce a powerful blow when you are ready to release (act) your plans toward a worthy endeavor.

Mother Sayer: Even setting up your home in an order that makes it known to you, so when you come back to that home you know where your silverware, cups, towels, coffee, food, anything your need. You just go right to where it suppose to be.

Mother Sayer: A routine (code) says time and eliminates the tendency to descend into stupidity of behavior. The world where great decisions are made are not tolerant of stupidity.

Mother Sayer: Justus, my son, you are educated because you understood that your education didn’t help me it helped you! Powerful people of means and class are not engaged by ignorance because its’ curriculum is unaccepted when transferred to any institution (business) that matters.

Mother Sayer: (In other words.) Ignorance is not accredited and the people who keep piling up semester hours can never get in the door of higher institutions with them.

Justus I. Order: Understood Mother. You never fail to deliver with the written or spoken word as it always nourishes my life.

Mother Sayer: (Justus has truly grown since he has been assigned a division far away from his Mother.) I’m glad.

Mother Sayer: Give your team my best and thank Caroline and Victoria for me as well as I appreciate their contributions to helping you succeed. Oh and Jacob too.

Justus I. Order: I will Mother.

Mother Sayer: Goodbye Justus and fare thee well.

Justus I. Order: Goodbye Mother, I love you.

Epilogue:

(The software rollout made it through the first week and it looks like the APP is a player on the world stage. THE ARC, INC. is well on its’ way to being a formidable company. Mother Sayer is pleased and excited that her children are monuments in their own fields. She takes a long sip of her tea. This tea is very good. I must buy more of it on the way home.)

Episode One: Empty Duality

Mother Sayer: (Spends her Monday morning going through the list of errands to complete before evening news). “Most of these errands I can assign to my staff, and the task where confidentiality is prized I will handle it personally.”

Mother Sayer: (Settles in her study to relax with a glass of red wine to pour over the business reports from her multiple ventures, she is interrupted by a call from her daughter asking to run a problem by her.)

Mother Sayer: “Oh what a pleasant escape from all this reading I must do. (Mother Sayer detects a bit of imbalance in the natural flow of words from her child). What is it Doyenne?

Daughter Doyenne: “Can I come over if it’s okay. I need to run a problem by you and it vexes me because I can’t see how it could penetrate my defenses so easily.”

Mother Sayer: “Sure you can, how long before I see you?”

Daughter Doyenne: “Give me 30 minutes.”

Mother Sayer: “I will see you soon then.”

Mother Sayer: (Summons her servants and commands them to prepare some finger food of tuna fish sandwiches and sparking water.) “My daughter will be her shortly, please prepare the food and bring it out to the patio.”

Daughter Doyenne: (She arrives and her mother’s staff shows her out to the patio.) “I cannot hide anything from you. There is a person at work that gets to me negatively too easy. I want to know why and more importantly, how do I counter the impact of the duress this person causes?”

Mother Sayer: “Tell me, what position do you hold in relation to his as it concerns who’s in authority.”

Daughter Doyenne: “I did not say it was a guy penetrating my defenses.” (Immediately Doyenne realizes she has put in use a tone her mother frowns upon. She attempts to recover her composure as her mother looks upon her sternly. This time, Doyenne thinks, this unsuitable tone is forgiven me. I will not get a second chance.)

Daughter Doyenne: “Apologies mother, I did not mean to address you in that tone.”

Mother Sayer: (Merely nods her clemency and with a touch on her daughter’s shoulder urges her to continue.)

Daughter Doyenne: “Mr. Johnson has a habit of yelling his disapproval when he feels his instructions are not followed precisely. I’ve spoken to him privately about the matter, but it seems he doesn’t feel the need to respect my request to change his way of addressing his staff.”

Daughter Doyenne: “Mr. Johnson is my supervisor’s immediate boss and he intervenes frequently in Mrs. Lewis, my supervisor’s department day to day assignments.”

Daughter Doyenne: “I am the only one that has stood up and asked him to stop, but he dismisses my objections to his behavior repeatedly.”

Mother Sayer: (Keenly observes her daughter’s composure, body language, and rising anger as she rehashes these incidents. She has heard enough to answer her daughter with advice relevant to solving her problem, but she waits patiently for her daughter to finish speaking her mind.)

Daughter Doyenne: “I know what you taught me about how to counteract people with destructive personalities, but I must have missed something along the way or didn’t really understand what you were teaching me.”

Mother Sayer: (Knows her daughter is in distress, but she will teach her adult child because Doyenne must still fight her own battles.) “I want you to relax and listen to me. What I’ve told you is theory until you put it into practice. Modifications are common in this world, as it must meet your specific needs. Apply the principle and shape it to your unique situation with this one supervisor.”

Mother Sayer: “What did I say about getting to know the players in each part of your life?”

Daughter Doyenne: “I need to know the players as I know myself. Their tendencies and agendas as it may affect my job and responsibilities. I must get to know their personalities and who is able to be trusted because wherever you are, potential allies must be accessed and judged worthy or unworthy.”

Mother Sayer: “Does it take time and effort to assess the job and all of its qualities good or bad.”

Daughter Doyenne: “Yes mother.” (She says this to her mother as exasperation fills the air. I know this and yet I thought I could function without it. What was I thinking to ignore my teachings so easily.)

Mother Sayer: (Never misses that moment when a wise individual realizes there is no shortcut to learning and evolving. She smiles slightly as she observes her daughter understanding she has some work to do.) “Don’t fret about it Doyenne. Everybody tries to shorten the timetables of life, but everybody, and I mean everybody, fails in that attempt.”

Daughter Doyenne: “You’re right mother. I got so caught up in letting him know he is disrespectful that I forgot to stay composed and analyze every situation to seek the right course of action.”

Mother Sayer: “If you learn that critical lesson, you will begin to grow your conscious. It will become attuned to every part of your life to serve you appropriately by not failing to catch you before you go astray.”

Mother Sayer: “Yes daughter, this man defeated you, but defeat happens to all champions. Learn from it and your losses will stay below your victories.”

Daughter Doyenne: “I understand mother. My reactions should represent my intelligence and never my emotions.”

Mother Sayer: “Remain in control at all times my child. Dismiss your anger as its’ sole purpose is to deplete your energy. Don’t succumb to the triggers that so easily befall strong women and men to act in ways that only destroy themselves to the amusement of agitators.”

Mother Sayer: “Tell me, what is my adage about us all being dirt.”

Daughter Doyenne: “We are all dirt taken and molded from a living planet. When I die, will the ground that I have walked over be left fertile or barren?”

Mother Sayer: (She smiles inside warmly as she knows her daughter will strive to do better. It certainly has been a pleasant visit with my daughter.)

Independence & Interference

When the moment arrives for a daughter or son to pay bills on their own, how many parents can say their child will execute these tasks flawlessly? Why? Why not? First day on the job and a stressful situation occurs with a time limit for finding a solution, and it leads to your child facing uncertainty on how to solve a problem. Your child is in the hot seat and facing the prospect of losing or keeping their job in the eyes of the boss. How do you counsel your child? Should your child already have a frame of reference to answer that issue developed from interacting with you, the parent?

Okay, let’s slide those scenarios to a corner of the kitchen table and turn the clock back a few years to when your child was between the ages of 10 and 18. This period I believe holds the key cognitive period of growth and ascension for children for better or worse. It also holds a solemn and ceremonial period of duty for parents. What a parent says and does during this period holds massive consequences for children if not for the rest of their lives, certainly until they get out on their own and disavow some of the programming (yes we are like computers, what goes in determines what comes out).

Independence teaching goes to form, such as responsibility instilled in the child for passing K-12 with the best grades and average as possible. It holds true that the parent should merely supervise and allow the child to feel some pressure to pass each grade and progress in learning. After all, it is not the parent that needs to graduate High School. If the child receives an allowance, it is the parent stressing the need to manage money correctly because money management has implications for a stable adult life.

Interference arises in the development of a child when the parent feels the child needs to be saved from him or herself. Example. A daughter signed her name to a field trip and upon arriving home expects a parent to hand over the fees involved with the trip. Would you as a parent pay that fee without an advanced warning? If you do, you have interfered with that child’s development. A son wants to play football. The son signed up for the team and tells his parents later that day after they arrived home from work. Would you pay the fees associated with him being on the football team? If you do, you have interfered with your son’s development.

Independence is intertwined with interference. Children don’t spend their parents’ money without asking do they? Let’s take a view from an entirely different familial system. A male lion selects a lioness and mates with her. The lioness has cubs and takes responsibility for their care (although the bulk of running a pride lies squarely with a lioness group i.e. hunting, teaching, shelter and so on which sounds a lot like the human females’ duties) and protection. When the males reach adulthood, their father pushes them out of the pack. Why does this happen?

The independence children must attain is ordained in nature and it cannot be interfered with by anyone! By the way, the cubs have now become a threat to the dominant male and must be run off to establish their own kingdom. Interference in this instance can lead to a lion fight with the strongest emerging the victor. The father usually wins if there is a challenge and the cubs (his children) would avoid such a confrontation at all costs.

Independence is not an absolute construct or concept that exists solely in a protected domain of solitude. I would go so far as to say that not one mammal, hot or cold bloodied, walking, crawling or flying makes it from birth to maturity on his or her own dime. I know, many people, mainly Americans, will swear up and down they are a self-made person.

You know, as a kid I used to twirl around in place until I stopped abruptly. The world seemed shaky and unsteady in that moment, but I thought it was fun. Just because I twist the truth or bend the reality behind me that helped me become the person I am today; it still doesn’t make the critical help I received to become independent to be explained away in a footnote.

Take for instance the changing face of the workforce as it concerns manufacturing. Mostly 30 to 40 years ago the jobs to be had were in manufacturing. Machines were repaired with tools like hammers, pliers, wrenches and screwdrivers. Now machines are diagnosed and fixed at a computer terminal. Granted, jobs will never be obsolete to the point where tools are not needed, but we can interfere with the natural gravitation call to train in the skills that have changed the job market.

The bedrock principles of having the right job skills at the right time does not change, only the format does. Hammers and brute strength can’t answer the factory whistle today. The changing face of skills should not be met with interference. If a company, a town, an employee wishes to maintain the status quo, then independent thinking demands risk taking in securing an uncertain future. In other words, change before it’s too late or all you’ll be doing is running to catch a train you see in the distance that’s starting to pull away at an incredible speed.

Listen to this one truth if you choose not to listen to anything else. “Human beings (humanity) becomes closer to each other through shared hardships. If we all believe that the troubles others face have little effect on our lives, then the principle of ‘we’re all in this together’ holds little meaning when applied in our day to day lives.”

I can understand the lure of braggadocious rhetoric to describe how I achieved success alone in a world that prizes such fantastical tales. Only, the reality doesn’t fit the fantasy, which if spoken to the wrong people will arrive on them destructively. Everyone needs a mix of independence and interference, which if appropriately discharged and accepted could signal enormous success to a person’s life no matter their bank account.

An expanded outlook to view things differently with passion and purpose could serve you well. Just try.

It’s Called: Self-Defeating Stagnation

Ever been asked to help out another section, team or project on the job while leaving your assigned tasks and duties to idle awaiting your return? I have and it never fails to be frustrating. Every part of my life has to make a little sense (doesn’t have to be 100%). When personnel are pulled from one task to another it still leaves work that needs to be done. There is no gain in doing that! I’ve fought many battles on jobs in my life standing up for this principle and now I seek to explain it.

Employers, please listen to me. Apathy rules the day when employees have to interrupt their work schedule to do a job they feel should be done by the person hired to perform those duties. Employees (human beings) think the company is trying to cheat or get over on them because most of the time employers expect the employees’ work to be completed on time as well.

The solution is simple. Employers (human resources) make assessments all the time about staffing which leads to work, productivity and output. Hire people! The work of America is not getting done. If I go to a store and the shelf is empty of say a brand of chocolate I love, I will ask a clerk in the store (if one is around) to get me some from back stock. The worst-case scenario for the store is that I get tired of it not being in the shelf and go to another store to buy it. Better yet, the next time I shop I go straight to the store that has my chocolate and buy it there because they seem to have enough associates to keep the shelves full!

Let’s take a detour a minute and turn our attention to South Korea. Remarkable country and its’ citizens are legendary in restoring glory to their land after so many conflicts from external powers. I believe they’ve squandered the energy and drive of their people with that success. Success can lead to the pacification of that same drive to succeed that created South Korea’s enormous success by honoring current leaders at the expense of developing new leaders of industry.

We’ve all done it or experienced a taste of success and immediately given into the urge to stop striving because it cost great effort and massive amounts of human energy to even get to a small amount of prosperity. In other words, South Korea, like many companies in places around the world are squandering years of human talent by overloading their day with impossible numbers to make. What happens when a truck that is rated to pull 10,000 pounds tries to pull 15,000 pounds? Yeah, eventually it will blow the engine and the transmission! Believe all you want there are people chomping at the bit to work for you and you will be in a state of constant stagnation with that mentality.

Anyway, this particular dollar store I like has a certain brand and flavor of butter popcorn (most likely it’s the chain store’s proprietary brand) that I could sit and eat the entire bag in minutes. They could never keep it in the shelf and the time (delay) it took for the store to have it again turned into months. Why? Industries are not synced anymore or weren’t in the first place.

That is how America ended up in this self-defeating stagnation economy where everyone seems to want to succeed by doing the minimum necessary. Banks need to come up off the money (it’s not theirs anyway) and hire skilled people to vet and speed up the funds to keep their part of the system going. When Federal, State and local Governments notice their economies start to clog and heat up through friction caused by less grease (financial and human lubrication) keeping all the parts moving; they need to call out who’s causing the problem and help unclog the system.

Employers need to hire at the level they know they need to bring operations back to meet the demand for the goods and services they offer. Listen to me; there has always been a role for governments at all levels to play. First our planet (climate change) is the only one we have and products can’t be sold to dead people.

Governments should be active in facilitating the best plans for our farmland, air and water supply. Predict the weather as accurately as possible and make sure it gets to the right people on a consistent basis. Every industry that depends on the weather should get reports and this list includes the airline industry, maritime shipping and land vehicles because humans love their vacations. Raw materials need a renewed focus or designation as precious treasure of our nation. Things can’t be built, or matter of fact, can be wasted if we don’t heighten the importance of our natural resources.

People that can fix things will be in high demand. Schools need to identify our children early and steer them to the training that’s in line with the industry and aptitude they’ve displayed. In other words, if they demonstrate talent to be an engineer, steer them there. Stop thinking it is the colleges that need to train them to be engineers. It seems to me companies are navigating through the business world without sound advice. A philosopher(s) can and should be within the multitude of counselors that keeps a company on the right track for growth and responsibility.

I can’t help but use an analogy for that sort of situation. A climber wants to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Question? Does he buy a plane ticket and simply fly there assuming he can purchase the gear he needs when he gets there? Does he believe he can train for the altitude and weather conditions as he traverses the mountain? These questions both have no as the answer. When you are not ready for the job, you are and will be exposed!

Since I discovered another truth, a principle that I’ve incorporated into my own code of how I live my life. It is better to be prepared for success when it comes than having to go back and cover ground, which should’ve been completed when it was revealed to you to get it done. Self-defeating stagnation covers all actions, which are knowingly ignored because humans like to get by doing the minimum. When you have $10 dollars and $2 dollars are needed to bring operations to normal, I suggest spending that $2 dollars would bring a return double of what you have available to spend. It is all a matter of doing what you know should’ve been done a long time ago. Grow your business (your mind needs tilling) and set conditions that may lead to even greater times by doing what is necessary now!

You’re still an Adult, Okay*

The star is for significance. Now, another issue of life has vexed my thoughts a few days now. Why many young adults wish to ride the Ferris wheel of childhood long past their ticket expiration? Does anyone have pets? Notice how dogs treat a newcomer to the pack. As a puppy, he or she is allowed to go on the older dogs food and even play with their toys. When the dog years go by, boy the tune changes quickly and the newcomer is introduced to the rank structure (you just got here, you are at the bottom of the pecking order) firmly.

Many parents I’ve noticed don’t prepare their children for adulthood very well. For instance, allow your child to go inside to a doctor’s or dentist appointment alone say starting at 14 years of age. Let the teenager complete store transactions (clothes, food, some durable goods) alone to start getting comfortable dealing with other people (not friends).

Which brings me to my observation. Young women and young men I need you to listen to me carefully. Life is not an extended recreational period! Building a life is serious, and the good news is there are tested principles that work to help you construct a solid existence.

Let me veer off course for a moment. Dressing up, wearing make-up, hair and nails done will do wonders for your outer appearance. What is going on underneath that facade? The control center is basically going understaffed or not staffed at all. Every time a call (life) come in it goes unanswered or dropped altogether. Your brain! Your land! It needs tilling. Read Proverbs 28:19. There you will find the inspiration for this website.

How are you going to handle what comes at you everyday if you are letting your incredible processor go unused. What are you going to do if you’re responsible for a wife? A child? You have to get to work ten miles from home and you can’t qualify for a car because you’ve ruined your credit. Being responsible for you is a daily no fail mission too!

You are still an adult once you reach the age of ascension, which is 18 in most cultures. For starters, get back into the books and stop listening to anyone that tells you that education is hard. Again, (I’m starting to get irritated) life is sufficiently difficult. It is not hard nor is it easy. It is filled with enough challenges to make you focus your energy and stop needlessly wasting effort.

Learn to manage money because contrary to what you may have seen or heard it is not to spend on things out of line with where you want to go in life. Please do me a favor, stop listening to people spouting every cockamamie theory about life and how you should live it if they don’t have nothing to show (assets or property earned honestly) for their lives!

Decide on a goal, just one goal at first like saving $25 dollars a month. Now learn about financial institutions and how they use your money. Who can give me the best return on my money? What do they charge and what do they pay me for using my money? Do the same thing with the car and renters’ insurance industry. Learn to ask questions properly to elicit the most detailed information in return.

I’ve given enough seeds that need to be planted for now. Till your land (your brain) and let a passion for learning and focused action grow as you put your back into it, metaphorically that is. Life is not linear. As we grow and age many things come to us all at different points along our path, intersecting that path is a map pointing out dead ends. Avoid them please.

Growing Fields

Speaking life (existence) to things, as they ought to be is the end of any worthwhile endeavor. What are some things a farmer must do in order to harvest a field of produce? Don’t everyone answer at once. I say, let’s answer these questions together then. He or she has to buy the seeds for the harvest this crop is anticipated to produce. Next, the planting season must be observed (don’t plant seeds in the winter please). The ground must be cultivated. Fertilizer obtained if needed, and a water supply (your energy and belief) must be abundant and readily available.

The ground (You, Me) must be sure of the reasons why you are setting out to do something amazing. The seeds (my purpose, goals) have to receive the support (the place where you intend to plant them) for a righteous cause? The last step is initiating (starting) to work your field of vision and effort. I mean from a place where you already see your vision in reality!

This is how it’s going to go. Once planted, those seeds must produce a consumable item that nourishes the mind and propels the spirit and body to grab it and pull it into reality. Speak of what you desire in private and work to make it viewable to everybody. Don’t misunderstand the need to have all materials necessary upfront to make your dream happen. Understand that you still have to get those pieces as you go because they are necessary for the finished product to last forever!

Let’s be clear. You don’t need to have all the building materials before starting to construct your dream. Just know, I repeat, know you will eventually need everything to make it withstand the waves (life happens) crashing against it. Skipping or rushing to the finish line so you can prove the doubters wrong doesn’t set your dream atop a solid foundation.

I want to finish by saying thank you to all. Every one of you who have joined my site has touched my heart greatly. This site is the result of many years of wondering why no one tells people critical advice, or gives sound council when it is most needed. I vow to everyone. I will write in the knowledge that I will always give good and timely council. It may span the spectrum from strong, to measured, to a good belly laugh!

In the end, I will always write and say it as if I need to hear it more than anyone.

Redemption? What Must I Do?

Realistically? Most of us miss the chance to do things when the moment is there for it to be done. History, records what transpired on such and such date and time. What is left is the overwhelming yearning to alter that decision that brought on the tremendous doubt and pain of “I should have done this and instead I am left with the result of that”.

Listen, redemption can require only a slight altering of your actions when a similar situation occurs in the future. Redemption can also ask that you expend more time and effort physically or financially to atone for your lapse in acting appropriately for that situation. Lastly, redemption can demand a price so heavy as to require major mental, physical and financial efforts be brought to bear to correct an error of judgment.

Don’t think that humans can grant you this absolution, this discharge, this deliverance or even vindication! Redemption is granted by the Gods and that court, that acquittal is not tainted with biases or spinal weakness! It is an achievement laced with the most precious gift of all. New life and unchallenged glory!

So when an NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL team or any woman, man or child wishes to be heard in the court of redemption. Know this. The Gods do not care for those whose hearts are not certain of what they seek. Come before this court with clarity and understanding of what may be asked of you when redemption must be the final verdict granted in your favor. Otherwise, learn to live with the pain of “what if”.

Engine Parts Need (______) to Operate

Check under the hood and tell me what you see in an engine compartment designed to power any function critical to human kind. On quick observation, it is clear that the engine has many parts and components that need to work in unison. What is critical to all those parts functioning as one? The answer is space!

The belt or belts that turn the wheel that cools the radiator needs the space (although it is millimeters in length) to do that job correctly as designed. The spark plugs inside the engine that fire to ignite the fuel and push down the pistons need space to move up and down. The bolts that hold the engine in place are supported or gain support from the frame of the vehicle. This design allows the engine to spin the transmission to power the vehicle forward, backward or in any direction the operator wishes to drive it.

Let’s not forget the fuel, oil and other fluids that are necessary to constantly assure the systems (the car) work to provide movement free of undue friction, which stymies motion.

Our human bodies are not very different in design from a machine with many moving parts. Internally our organs are not bunched up like sardines in a can. This allows us to freely bend and have full range of motion of our limbs. Are our lives not the same?

Education from the moment we enter the world as babies I’ve read we are processing the world around us. Our brains imbed the image of our caretakers for ready identification. Aspirations move us all in different directions to achieve many goals in life. Human lives have many moving parts and they are held in place by the energy and effort exerted to achieve them.

Always take care of the engine that drives the body, which is the brain. The brain tells us when our body is hungry. The brain tells us to study the unknown to successfully manipulate it. The brain tells us when we need to stop for repairs. The successful manipulate of knowledge is power!

Learn to control yourself and your emotions and that power harnessed can be unleashed to propel your efforts in life to more satisfying and lasting results.

A Better Option?

Okay let’s be frank here. Everybody wants something better than what they have at some point along the course of their life. A new car or truck that operates better in all weather seasons of the year. The latest and greatest computer that responds to commands at the speed of light (I know you believed I would say of thought, but some people aren’t that bright) because we hate waiting for apps to load.

All the wonder of a new relationship that is going to fix all the mistakes of the past. Well let me turn the dial (the volume down) to the left on your fantasies. Maybe sir or ma’am, the best option is what you have right in front of you. Reality check. You are not the juiciest steak off the rib eye. You are not the chocolate chip cookie that rushes straight to the brain the moment you take a bite.

Practical exercise time. Take a sheet of paper and number it from 1 to 10 with all the qualities we would like to see in a mate. This exam is meant to be unisex. Starting: 1. Good provider. 2. Well groomed. 3. Consistent in actions. 4. A little overweight. 5. Doesn’t bring trouble to my door. 6. Committed to the family. 7. Can cook and clean in the house. 8. Spends too much on clothes. 9. Letting their appearance lapse a bit. 10. God fearing with a unique sense of spirituality.

Now most people would look at this list and immediately check off 2 or 3 things that would put the kybosh on the deal. What the heck is wrong with a person (mate) that has 7 out of 10 good qualities? Trust me, I ran this exercise on myself and got yanked back to reality. The qualities I possess are pretty solid, but I still can’t jump (not at my age) from mate to mate thinking I’m God’s gift to a stable home life. Sh_ _t don’t work like that homeboy!

Maybe the best option is the one you already have huh? Improve on your outlook about life and then maybe your mate will come along for the ride and make you both better partners at home. Option two could be the worst mistake of your life.

Hopefully you are a good person in a habitat with a person that relates to your desires and views about life. If not. Then maybe option two is the best choice for you after you clean up some things about yourself that made you choose a bad option in the first place.

Unleashed!

The exclamation point is relevant to this topic. Let’s accept the fact that we become what our focused energy and efforts make us. If we push education entwined with directed usage requirements the chances this acquired knowledge will increase our life long fortunes rests at stable certainty. Human kind should be inclined to improve societies by addition through subtraction.

Explanation. Celebrating dignity, respect and kindness at all times makes these actions increase their reach beyond all lands and peoples. Help our media outlets understand that when the story is centered on the rudeness and bigotry of humanity this tends to be reinforced (maybe unknowingly) around the world. Add to our world by highlighting the good in us all and human beings will subtract those unsavory parts naturally.

I must begin with my own shortcomings and how I still must be vigilant with my thoughts. Trouble knocked on my door (at school and in the workplace) recently and I was surprised where my mind took me first. Yes, I thought violent solution first. This, needless to say, was highly disappointing for me because I’m not a young man and I’ve spent many years (vigilance I guess requires a lifetime commitment) resisting those instant impulses to solve my problems.

Eventually I chose to use techniques of professionalism and intellect to defuse and defeat my antagonists. Yeah, my first reactions made that life test a failure. That is why it is critical all of us demand improvement from each other. If someone is behaving badly, we need to have the strength to (pull them aside if possible) confront them openly and demand they change those offensive behaviors! Careful what you unleash into the world because the effects of that decision tends to linger long after you think that situation is over.

The Increase

It is a tough dilemma. The facts are that a goal has universal truths attached. In order to obtain this item I must walk the path that leads to that goal. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree from a respected university requires twelve hours a semester to do it in four years. It is implied in that goal that my head will be in books an additional 12 to 20 hours a week studying. A new car is in my future. It is implied in that goal that I have to calculate insurance, gas, maintenance and the value that car will add to my life. If in all these goals a sacrifice is expected, then why not do without a want to augment a need. An increase in one area requires a decrease in other areas.

A very nice lady at work is a good sounding board for me as well as two other close advisors (I don’t have many because most people are not the advising type). We conclude that if you want nice things, then in other areas you must cut back in order to maintain financial balance. A gentleman told me it involves being thankful for small gifts. A good daughter shows her love for family by bringing her mother into her home and taking care of her. Remember all goals have humanity attached. Bring your family with you!

Abundance can be blinding. Take for instance a farmer looking at her field of corn. She can see the money before her eyes, or she can see the millions of families that corn will feed for years (canning is good!). Her perspective determines her success. Failure is intertwined with success and most people are not willing to untie the knots in order to straighten the line that leads to success. Most cooks are not going to whip the batter until all the lumps are out before they bake the cake.

It is not the time you spend in order to reach your goals. It is the learning process that makes you successful. The goal is just the capstone. Sufficient difficulty is attached to all worthwhile goals. No book or religious teachings I’ve ever read stated otherwise! Isn’t that the exciting part about life? When you reach waypoints along your journey, I would ask you to simply look out your window and watch the trees sway in the winds. You can’t see the wind, but you know it’s there.

Make solid, reasonable goals and plans and then diligently work to achieve them. Be patience and wait for the early and latter rain.

A Tear = A Rupture of the Mind

A cut on our body triggers an immediate response. We clean the wound. We apply disinfectant and a bandage to speed the damage to our flesh to heal as quickly as possible. Tell me, why do we allow tears in our mind to go without treatment? The surface and depth of our mind (and heart) is where the issues are raised and adjudicated. I will explain.

Say for instance that a child is having minor trouble grasping the concepts of math. There are two choices here to address the child’s issue and help his or her enlightenment of math. Yes, they are positive and negative. What goes unnoticed here is the tear forming in the child’s mind becoming adversarial toward math (learning). Now a parent can recognize this danger and close the breach before it widens with positive solutions and direct insight. On the other hand, a parent can tell the child I hate math (learning) too and all but rip a small breach into a rupture big enough to drive a truck of doubt through.

Imagine a crack in a vehicle’s windshield going unaddressed. Sooner or later that crack will form a break or a line expanding outward, and eventually produce a windshield that could shatter at any time. If you can get two fingers into any object you are trying to open, the same analogy applies to a mind when doubt short-circuits a worthwhile goal. Pull it apart. That is the idea when doubt inserts its’ fingers into the breach until both hands are widening the hole and exacerbating the tear.

Any disappointment can trigger a tear in your mind. The solution can be quite simple when faced with any minor setback. Let’s leave the large-scale psychological problems to the professionals. Choose a private place, a car, closet or location that offers solitude to think and repair the tear that just occurred. Talk, yes tell yourself the breach will be repaired and sealed. I will not let doubt fester like a sore that if left untreated can trigger more complications.

I did not get the job I applied for recently. The solution. I am still the best candidate available standing ready to help a company be more successful with their customers and their market. My love interest rejected my offer. The solution. I am thankful and secure in what I bring to any relationship that the best person for me is seeking a good and stable opposite.

I cannot express myself verbally in ways that mirror the deep insight of my thoughts. The solution. Read books aloud to yourself and speak a brief review of each chapter to check that you understood what you read. Nobody, not friends or family, comes to talk to me about troubling issues plaguing their lives. The solution. Take an extended look in the mirror and determine whether you are trustworthy. If your self-assessment says you are not, then endeavor to change by being respectful to the troubles of others. Correct your body language by not smirking and maintain eye contact at all times with the speaker. Lastly, don’t spread secrets given in confidence to the entire neighborhood unless asked to do so.

Realize how many people have friends (so called) that act as confidants, but these same friends give in their words little or no help to their lives! Like talking to a brick wall while waiting for that wall to give me the wisdom to solve my problem. A glass is empty until you put a beverage in it, and once the glass is filled you drink it. Stop letting people, who act as your advisor, give you back a glass of emptiness. That will not quench your thirst for answers! Find friends that offer nourishment and you give it back in kind.

This is an area that has been very profitable for me. After I realized that my mind could suffer the death of a thousand cuts, I began to address every issue that troubled me. Some problems I tackled on the spot and some I gathered background information. When I addressed the major problems, I was prepared for all resistance to recovery and I won every fight to repair the tears in my mind.

Basically, the mind is a terrible thing to waste. I am nearly fifty years old and I still must fight to keep my mind and body healthy against all potential threats seeking an opening. It is your duty to know your limitations and your responsibility to fight any attacks against your mind. Whether that is by you developing life skills or by going to see a professional in the field of mental health. Protecting your mind is an individual decision that holds consequences whether those consequences are good or bad.

Listen to me. Every problem doesn’t have a solution. Ignore some of them because they pose no threat to a healthy mind. Paraphrasing scripture here, ‘once you overcome a problem, don’t jump back in the mud because you may not be able to wash it all off next time’.

Repair those ruptures and seal those breaches as quickly as you can. Do not let a problem linger too long. You wouldn’t let a cut go untreated. Why would you let a tear to the mind go unaddressed? Heal it. Fix it. Get back your confidence and move on with life. You had a problem, but you diagnosed it correctly and the prescription healed the wound. Move on!

Order and Effort

Give me a minute while I pile all the material, tools I need together in one place in order to build this passage. Often in times like these where opportunity, a way of life or even a country’s promise is misunderstood by people who cannot discern the truth from the background noise. Sustained success (flip the coin and adversity is present) means using your tools (mind and body) in an orderly fashion with proper levels of effort to reach prosperity. Success is not achieved by echoing known phrases like ‘the streets of America are lined with gold for all who simply live in America’. Naïve is misplaced here. The word should be snookered or bamboozled. America, like any industrialized country, offers a path to success, but it is the government that sets the conditions for that success!

Why don’t you take a look at China and see what happens when you let factories or processing plants burn chemicals and fossil fuels without restraint. I like to use an example from my home. I buy a great tasting bottle of orange juice and take a glass. My children pour a cup of refreshing orange juice and return it to the fridge. Later I decide on reheating leftover chicken and I notice the orange juice is ¾ empty. Surely I say to myself the children know I should have the last sip. Of course, you know the story all too well. I find the empty bottle in the trash because my children just take without a thought of Dad’s parched throat desperate for a taste of cold orange juice. Common sense tells me that human beings running a company will ravage all natural resources in pursuit of profit if not restrained by government.

The relentless pursuit of profit should and must be balanced by government to the greater good of all citizens. We need to elect leaders that are thoughtful and orderly. We don’t need to elect leaders who will throw the keys to a teenager (a 16 year old is just like a billionaire who wants what he wants and nobody can tell him driving is dangerous) and tell him to learn how to drive on his own. Yeah, you kind of need to supervise him!

Follow the Light That’s On

Oh if it were as simply as the topic suggests. How many of us have followed other people knowing their light was no longer burning bright? Maybe the dimming effect has set in and we still hold on hoping it would brighten to full strength sometime soon. Our minds start contemplating the worse scenario. The light is out and it will not shine ever again.

How do these predicaments come about in our lives? It could be because of the old saying. “The grass is greener on the other side.” The silliest reasoning can break up a marriage. The man or woman could fret that something is missing and I don’t want my life to end knowing I lost out. They start looking away from what could be the best home they are entitled to receive. The view could be beautiful and spectacular from a distance, but a close-up could indicate ugliness and destruction.

Would this deter a common sense person reasoning justly when it concerns his or her home? Not all the time it would. Most of the time a person chooses (leaves their marriage and family) outer darkness as they are blinded by the brightness of the rising horizon. Other people shine brightly when they are drawing you away from a stable home. As the saying goes, ‘blinded by the light’.

Yes I realize it is not always another person enticing a spouse away from a home they know is good for him or her. Most of the time it is a friend (masquerading as an enemy) feeding false conclusions that supports unfounded anger in the spouse’s heart. Listen to me; don’t be married to three people! If a situation is breeding conflict in the home, I suggest speaking to a trusted friend that will not tell you what you want to hear.

The light is always on in the distance is a lie. It is an optical illusion set up to support bad reasoning and the poor judgment that occurs when we are angry, hurt and confused. View your marriage and your life in its totality. A good solid stable home is not created by accident.

Follow the light that is on means keep your home burning bright by treating each other right. Judge your home by what you have done for each other and not by outside individuals who caught you in a moment of weakness. Third parties that mean you no good will tell you to break up a stable home! Yes that is what they are telling you. If you are giving each other good for good, a snake in the grass will elevate your anger and cause you to destroy your home!

Everybody is not your friend. A spouse is your spouse first! You are not entitled to take out all your bad decisions in your life on your spouse. Your spouse is not your release for all your stupidity. This last sentence is a huge awakening for both genders. It takes two to tango and two to keep warm. Figure out what that means. Hint, don’t be cold or you just might be cold alone.

What Is Returned Unto You? Decide.

It is a topic often discussed with like-minded people. Does it matter how you treat other people? Should I give back good to the good that is given me, or does it matter if I give back evil for the good that is given unto me? This subject is contemplated throughout many interactions with people whom we know harbor no good will to other people. What should be our course of action then?

First, it matters how you return treatment of others in kind which could answer whether your life sees constant success or consistent failure. The notion that a human being can go around doing whatever they want whether good or bad, and the consequences resulting aren’t tied to behavior is ludicrous!

A boss ignores a solid employees’ work performance by choosing to give an open position, which the employee put in a fair application, could be thought of as disloyal to a loyal employee. I know you’re thinking the boss has the right to promote whom he or she wants. Does he really? A worker proven should be selected first. That is the good that will come back to you. An unknown commodity could work a day, week or a month and quit (or not show up at all!). That is the evil returned to you when you should have chosen the employee that applied for the job!

Families interacting daily in a close-knit tribal like setting. Good should be flowing back and forth and swirling around from floor to ceiling within that home. Try if you want introducing evil by not giving well for the good that is given you in your home and see what results. That new job you wanted is filled. The money you’ve been saving is eaten by an emergency. An illness befalls you and you miss a week of work.

Ask yourself, are you returning evil in your life for the good bestowed upon you by nice people? Let me be clear. You are not going to be successful long term by interchanging evil for the good that comes your way! Stop blaming the world for your faulty wiring and change your central processing unit! Something is not right in how your thinking leads you to believe you can do all the wrong in the world, and only right and good things will come back to you.

Quit behaving as if lying, rudeness or acting like everyone owes me and I don’t need to say thank you. A person will attract good if their heart tends to goodness. If your heart tends to mischief, then you will certainly receive mischief in-kind. Simple is it not, how life can be explained.

False Positive: A Good Time

Man, most people would say in the midst of making six decisions, which results in one favorable outcome; they had a good time and would do it over again if they could. I fondly (false happiness in this case) remember going out to dinner, seeing a movie, and buying a $100 dollar pair of Nikes in the course of a week and not being able to pay my power bill at the end of the month. Yes sir, in the throws of delusional good times; I was residing in a structure of my own making that was steadily crumbling all around me.

The focuses were not on the five other things I had to upkeep and manage to have a chance at a stable life. The focus was on one thing. Pleasure. Whether that meant going to dinner, a movie or pursuing women. Shopping with money I needed to pay bills, or loaning money to a friend instead of paying my own obligations. Yes people, there is pleasure in being thought of as always having money in times of need.

Sacrifices were not made to better my life, but to have fun in part because other people said I needed to enjoy my life. The better part of 10 years was wasted in pursuit of pleasure. Realize this now; you can be blinded to all the critical parts of your life that will bring you contentment because pleasure imprisons your mind. Till your land (your mind, your brain) means to figure out what sort of life will look like success when you train your mind and lay a path to a life worthy of applause.

Don’t believe me? Ignore that nagging voice telling you the car is about to cease functioning. Ignore the voice warning you that a dinner date costing $55 dollars for two meals could have paid for 12 at the grocery store. Ignore the voice telling you to save $50 dollars a month in case of an emergency. Ignore the voice telling you to not have a baby (male and female contributors) because you are barely able to feed and clothe yourselves now!

What have I learned? Laugh at myself often because it is a relief to know I broke free of the bondage of pleasure because I accepted one truth. Never did I win in the pursuit of pleasure! The score for me at the end of that game was: Victor 0, and Pleasure 100. The 5 important things that needed my attention were left to die on the vine because they weren’t getting any water from me. I came out of that life with nothing tangible to show for it! I lost every time while playing that game and I quit before it completely destroyed me.

Don’t do this either. Don’t look back on only the pleasure and ignore all the losses in the midst of your insanity. Don’t do it. If you choose to do it, tell yourself the truth and acknowledge what a life of despair you had. Don’t get washed and return to wallowing in the mire. Call it what it was and be thankful you got out in time.

If you want to have fun or pursue pleasurable activities, I recommend one rule. If you have the money or time to spend without it hurting, then have a good time and afterwards get back to work. If you are faking the funk to impress others or yourself, stop before you embarrass yourself.

Tilling your land will grow your seeds (education, specific skills, character, morality, etc.…) to make a time of harvest (your life) greater than the field that gave it growth.

Blown Past the Stop

2^nd Installment

It is peculiar isn’t it how politicians seem to react to tragedy. It is like episodes of the Twilight Zone (which is one of my favorite shows) engulfed in the entire world of make believe you can stomach. These people (politicians) suspend reality so easily when an event so horrific deafens all senses. Why do I say this? Because some of them laughably in their gall, continue to reason out tragedy by choosing to invalidate the very cause of lives being taken. A weapon, a gun, an item designed solely to end a person’s life. It is like saying a Samurai carries a sword into battle to slice cheese and bread.

I watched a Republican on television say guns and a state symbol of hatred did not belong in the mouth of the President or candidates for that office. We are not here to wonder why hatred is allowed to endure are we? Why hatred rears its’ ugly head and a so called leader tells citizens to ignore its’ touch. These politicians act as if you can dodge a rainstorm by not believing you are truly wet.

Which brings me to Ecclesiastes, Chapter 5, and verse 8. It seems the practice has too long been to act as if something terrible is not happening or just marvel at it and shake you head. It will go away soon and the trouble that it brought as well.

African Americans are not asking to be recognized as human beings. The utterance of that sentence would be obvious insanity. We have spent centuries teaching our children ways to maintain their sanity in the midst of government-sanctioned violence against our people. Yes, when injustice happened to Black people; it was simply whitewashed.

America has ‘Blown Past the Stop’. As I stated before when the Malaysian Flight was lost and the government of Malaysia treated the families of the lost with clear contempt. I say to Americans of European decent. Stop shaking your heads and correct your family, friends and neighbors when they perpetuate hatred of anyone who has done them no harm.

When I was working as a stocker in a grocery store in Birmingham, Alabama, I was faced with just such an issue. The two guys with me on the crew didn’t like the fourth guy and wanted me to hate him too. I told them (we were all Black) this man has done me no wrong. I respect you don’t like him, but you will not determine for me who my friends are and that strife ended right there.

Just understand everything is scrutinized

Make up for mistakes?

Ever wonder why the people that you can relate to the most often are the ones who care to make right their mistakes? Secretary Clinton has admitted her mistakes and worked to make them right. I would fight back against lies and false inferences in a heartbeat as well. Wait, let me just say, you ever meet those people that only tell you their greatest hits? You never hear about a single failure in their life? Never heard about anything they’ve done wrong have you?

Maybe I’m wrong to support the imperfect person, but I know from personal experience a burning desire within to correct my faults. Deduce for yourself which candidate you wish to support for President of either party, but I tell you an image problem hovers around perfect candidates. The Republican candidates will never admit mistakes and will fight you tooth and nail trying to make you believe they didn’t say it! Catch a perfect candidate in a lie and he or she will show cracks in their campaign. They will dance like crazy trying to get you to believe you didn’t really hear what you heard!

There has never been a perfect candidate for any office in the land. Everybody has done things they would like to take back. The difference is the people that feel terrible about it (although an email server or a foundation messing up reporting requirements doesn’t reach the level of wrongdoing) give extraordinary effort to prove to you that your faith in them is not misplaced. They will make it right. Let’s not forget the country did pretty well with the last President Clinton.

The UnAddressed Problem!

I was treating the sinus/allergy and cold I had, but I was ignoring the ear infection thinking it didn’t affect the other two. It’s a common state of mind when medicine or doctor visits are not the highlight of one’s life. The issue just brewed and festered until I went to the doctor and was diagnosed and given a shot for my ear infection. Let me back up a little and describe my allergy problem. It literally was as bad as the worst allergy sufferer has experienced. I thought my body was rejecting the Allegra I was prescribed. Needless to say my reasoning was flawed and misguided.

Now back to the ear infection and the after effects it had on my three problems. The ear infection was actually blocking the effective treatment I was prescribed for my allergies and the cold I had. Once I solved the ear problem; my cold disappeared and the allergies are responding to the Allegra!

My body is returning to normal and equilibrium has been restored. Wow, effectively targeting the one problem that was negatively interfering with getting my allergies under control was the solution all along.

Sounds like the negative influence of certain people on our lives results in confusion. This confusion stymies and stops us from addressing what is the real cause of disruption in our lives. Once the source of the problem is found and the right medicine applied; then, the results are undeniable. Our lives seem to get back up on the road and out of the dirt and gravel of the shoulder.

Once again, targeting the problem with the right solution will right the ship (your life) no matter if the problem is a person, place or thing! Don’t be like me. Address the problem that is causing problems for your real problems. The longer you wait to address a situation (no matter what it may be) will determine the moment you want to be free of it!
