BLACK PEOPLE AND HIV/AIDS, by T.J. Greer
5/8/10
It has been suggested that HIV/AIDS is pandemic
in Africa and among only Black women in the United
States. However, there are two things we need to take into consideration before we adopt the suggestion as holy truth. First, HIV tests used on Africans and Black
Americans do not test for the HI virus or any virus.
These questionable tests test for certain proteins believed to be associated with the HI virus and ultimately with the said disease of AIDS. Secondly, what race has or does not have the said HI virus is totally depended on what race of people is or is not taking the HIV test.
Over the past two decades White and Asian people have become aware that HIV tests are not valid and the said disease of AIDS itself appears to be a mild to severe sickness caused by starvation, poor nutrition, abusive cigarette smoking, abusive alcohol consumption, narcotic drugs, constant stress, living in a polluted environment, or any combination of the aforesaid. So, now the mega pharmaceutical companies have gone after the weakest link, ignorant Black people, to make their massive profits off their health harming drugs.
Beginning about 15 years ago, White owned drug companies started advertising to and encouraging Black Africans and Black Americans to take their HIV tests so we could flunk their tests and be put on damaging HIV medications for life whether we are sick or well. However, Black Africans have the fastest growing population on earth despite their poverty and there doesn't appear to be a pandemic of AIDS among Black American women despite what was slanderously said about "brothers on the down-low" on the Oprah show. What there appear to be are a lot of White people in powerful places trying to get Black people to take their flawed HIV tests in the hope that we fail them so we can be convinced to take their damaging medications for life while they run to the bank laughing at our stupidity: keeping in mind from when Margaret Heckler announced HIV as the "probable" cause of AIDS on April 23, 1984, everything they have said about HIV/AIDS and Black people has proven to be wrong, grossly wrong.
THE SALVATION OF HAITI, by T.J. Greer 5/10/10
We all know about the destructive earthquake in Haiti that has killed over 200,000 people on January 12, 2010, and many of us watched or participated in saving the Haitian people through physical endeavors or financial efforts. Now that the people of the world and governments have pledged well over 14 billion dollars to save Haitians and to rebuild Haiti, we must be vigilant to make sure that these generous contributions do not end up as profit for international bankers or go to contractors in which little is done but much is recieved as their personal motto, expressing their inclination towards graft.
Around 7 billion dollars worth of damage has been done to Haiti. Thus far the United States has provided $930 million in assistance. Secretary Clinton said, "The money that we pledge today, more than a billion dollars, will go toward reconstruction and multilateral debt relief." However, our position is all of Haiti's so-called "debt" should be forgiven, that not a single cent should go towards debt relief. And we feel insecure about the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon placing 10 billion dollars in governmental pledges in the paws of the World Bank for the development efforts of Haiti. However, he has taken several precautions to make sure there is no Haitian relief rip off by elements of the New World Order, and we encourage people to still contribute to the Haitian relief efforts via NGOs over the longterm.
We reslove ourselves to making sure Haiti does not become another 9th District in New Orleans!
NEW ORLEANS REVISITED - 2010, by T.J. Greer 5/15/10
We all know about Katrina hitting New Orleans and other areas in the summer of 2005, and the levee break that followed a day later that flooded 80% of the city. We watched the horrors and people in great desperation. Some of us speculated that the
17th Street Levee was blown apart, which brought about the great deluge of New Orleans. Over 1, 836 people died. We felt compassion for the victims, and we gave to restore the lives of those touched by the mishap - mainly Black people. We gave and the world gave. Billions and Billions of dollars were made available for the rebuilding of New Orleans, at least 30 billion dollars at the bare minimum.
We wanted to rebuild the 200,000 homes destroyed, to make those who had suffered complete again. We wanted to send the "evacuees" of the levee break on August 30, 2005, who had been scattered all over the country, home. However, five years later, 185,000 citizens of New Orleans vanished and most homes in the once Black populated areas of New Orleans have not been rehabbed or rebuilt, but demolished or left rotting. This dim reality flourishes as carefree tourists pour into New Orleans to visit the French Quarter as the billions are slowly being passed out to the favored sons with little reconstruction of New Orleans in those places that really matters to the citizens or ex-citizens of New Orleans.
Now the poor, poor Blacks, slowly being displaced by Whites, are confronted with rising rents, an even more racist government, and a gross lack of employment opportunities are being pressured to leave the city; which brings us to the purpose of the levee break in the first place - to depopulate New Orleans of Blacks as the primary goal and for the favored entities to skim vast profits from the donated billions through hook or crook under the blind eye of the government as their secondary goal, or vice versa.
However, guilty parties are perturbed because many of the frazzled Blacks are still holding on.
IS PRESIDENT OBAMA A BLACK HERO? by T.J. Greer 6/13/10
When Obama became president well over one year ago, Black Americans, like Black people around the world, celebrated and were hopeful that a new day was dawning for Black people in the United States, Africa, the Caribbean, and elsewhere.
We saw him as a hero - a Black hero whether that title was appropriate for him or not.
Even though his relationship with Black people was somewhat distant and icy at times during his campaign, Black Americans overwhelmingly voted for him as a champion of our people while White Americans and others voted for him simply because they wanted change.
Yes, Barrack Obama became President Barrack Obama for all of the United States.
He had an economic stimulus package passed, health care reform passed, and now he is working deligently on immigration reform. The economic stimulus packaged he championed seemed to miss the mark as far as Black people were concerned even though it was worth around 800 billion dollars. However, from the aforesaid one cannot fairly judge President Obama to be a Black hero or not, but we can ascertain such by examing how he has handled the Haitian Crisis due to the earthquake that cost from 200,000 to 300,000 lives - the greatest natural disaster in living memory.
Under President Obama the United States has generously pledged over one billion dollars, which is commendable if the money is actually delivered and used correctly for the reconstruction of Haiti. We fear not because, oftentimes, when vast sums are donated to help Black people the money is milked by the rich and powerful from the poor and weak. Thus far President Obama has established no strong safeguards against such nor paved the way for true and meaningful reconstuction in Haiti.
President Obama is not a Black hero. A great earthquake hit Haiti, killing 200,000 Black people at the minimum, and Haiti is the first Black independent nation in the Western world - a nation only two hours in flight time from the United States. Yet, President Obama has not been to Haiti. His wife did a stop-by in Haiti for a few hours on her way to visit Mexico in April, but President Obama has been missing in action completely even though he loves to trot around the globe.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and many other leaders of nations have been to Haiti on missions of compassion, but not Obama. Not visiting Haiti personally says something about his heart - President Obama is no Black hero,
