POTUS, PHARAOH, OR POO BUTT?.................

And when his family heard of it, they went out to lay hands on him: for they said, "He has lost his mind."

In the beginning stage of the earthy ministry of Yeshua(Jesus) The Christ, those that thought they knew Him, those close to Him, were assured that He had, in fact, gone mad, gone crazy.....flipped out.....lost His mind.

However, in reality, He was just going through a metamorphoses.

A transitioning from human into human and divine. Transitioning into His God Mind.

This transitioning made Him different - made Him a rebel and a revolutionary -  made Him a threat to men.....and a threat to the statuesque.

Most people have a hard time understanding a person that is different.

 For many people it is extremely difficult seeing things from the  prospective of a person that has seen,  done, and lived enough and experienced enough of life to see things differently than the majority may see it.

Intellectuals, as well as most common, ordinary, holy and religious folks need to be reminded {on a regular} that most of the Bible was written from a jail cell and not by people sitting up in the temple, or mosque, or church all day.

                                Christ was sent to work in the streets -  not in a building.

Hebrew scripture indicates that the "stone that the builder rejected(the outcast) became the "plume line" or perfect example of the model required for perfection in Christ.

Gods man, then and now, always seems to many people to be short of a full deck.

You know that someone who{ by perfect people standards} is not in possession of it all.

They either make people extremely uncomfortable or they make people love them so much they would follow them into the wilderness. They have the power to fill-a-room, or empty- a-room. That certain some one with a style, charisma, inner passion and drive so explosive that most people - just don't get it - many kaint get it - then there are those who are jealous and just don't want to get it.

You know God is a specialist. And often, He just breaks the mold on some of  His children and no matter what, they will always march to a different beat than everyone else is marching to. God takes them through and God always brings them out.

Gods man may be "krazy" but he is far from "a fool."

 And in times like these it would behoove us all to be sure that we can discern the difference between the two.

With that being said, let us now turn our attention to the world around us. The current POTUS recently called Haiti and African nations "shithole countries." And at the writing of this blog he is separating Latino families and incarcerating babies at the border.

What a surprise?........Not really.

Because until 1865, under the color of law, this is exactly what white amerikkka did to black people. First upon our arrival, and later at birth, they separated black children from their parents, never to be reunited.

The problem is not just that the POTUS called and treats people of color bad; but his comments suggest that these countries people are all bad.

He went further to say that America should take more people from "countries like Norway." Explicitly singling out predominantly white nations as favorable.

  Global War in the Middle East is imminent while at the same time civil war in the streets of america against oppressed people is on the horizon.

We are experiencing extreme heat, floods, fires, mud slides, hurricanes, snow storms, earthquakes, tsunami, wind storms, tornado's, and bitter cold temperatures like this planet has never seen.

Hatred, jealousy, murder and mayhem is at an all time high in every city in the country and there is not a solution in sight.

When you consider all the madness that is playing out in our neighborhoods, and in our communities, on our jobs, in our churches, in our schools, in our homes and all around us isn't it obvious that God has gotten tired of the disobedience of human beings and has allowed the master of deceit(Satan) to unleash unbridled chaos, sin, and unrighteousness into the earth.

That's why we have Pharaoh in the White House for at least three more years and maybe even longer.

 The Good News is that when God installs and uses a crude and vicious task master and Pharaoh like the current POTUS, He does it for a reason. The reason is so He can bring one forth, like Moses, to led the people out of the darkness of this world into the marvelous light of freedom, justice, equality, and salvation.

Just like we knew that He could and just like we knew that He would, God has promised to send His Holy Spirit manifested in the flesh of a man to retrieve His children and return their hearts and minds back to the Father.

God IS REAL.

 I am at this very moment "over joyed and thankful" beyond measure. Why? Because I know my redeemer lives...He lives in me.        And its always darkest just before the dawn.

Satan is a lie and his imps are poo butts.

According to The Urban Dictionary the definition of a 'poo butt' is: someone who is a wannabee. Someone who believes they are above it all. Someone who has or think they have control of tons of money, influence and power. Normally, they treat most people like dirt, they are snotty, they may live in a ritzy area of town. Typically, they are also very rude.  They have no social or people skills.They are basically haters.                                                                                                                                 
                  (ENTER IN THIS SPACE THE POO BUTT VISUAL OF YOUR CHOICE ):

                                      (the snake brother Bains from Malcolm X Movie)

Children of The Most High God we must learn to surrender to Gods indwelling spirit and then learn to relax and trust Gods timing while at the same time seeking to rise above our present circumstances using the gifts, talents and skills that God has provided for us to use. We already have the victory.

Try God.

Let nothing and nobody become more important than pleasing God.

Let nothing really matter: Because God is in control and its not about us......its about pleasing Him.

Marvel not; yea must be born again.

ADDICKTION

 "Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?"

The Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an record the story of judgement against the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.   The children of God, because of their willing separation from God, evident by their grievous, continuous, deviate, sexual orientation, and rebellion ------- were about to pay for their disobedience. God said, "I will go down now and see." Abraham - Gods man of that time - saw God coming and intervened with God on humanities behalf. 

He inquired if God would spare the city if 50 righteous could be found within the city?

God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 50 righteous could be found.

Abraham then inquired of God, "What about 45? What if 45 righteous can be found?

Again, God agreed. He would not destroy the city if 45 righteous could be found.

Abraham then inquired  of God for "mercy" at lower numbers( 40, then 30, then 20, and finally 10).

God agreed each time. None could be found. That same night fire and brimstone rained down on the inhabitants and destroyed them all.

Currently, mass media outlets have been bombarding us with a plethora of information concerning the  sexual assaults and misconduct against women, by wealthy, powerful and affluent (mostly white) men.

Let me first apologize to all the women and children - who are being and those who have been -  victimized by  the satanic spirit that is so easily produced when you combine money, and power, and a penis. 

This evil behavior can best be described as a "god complex" that takes control of an individuals thoughts, deeds, and actions and makes an individual behave as if there is no law....Gods or mans....that should be honored and obeyed.

It produces a  supremacist mentality of  "how dare u?" - 'who do u think u are?" - style of swag and demeanor. The mind-set of this satanic demon is, "what makes u think u can deny YOUR BODY or anything else that entertains me or gives me pleasure?" My money, power, and penis gives me the ability to define who succeeds and who fails, who wins and who loses, and even, who lives and who dies.

As evil as it sounds, and is, we must never forget that amerikkka, at its inception, was founded on the premise that people of color and women, had no inalienable rights that a white man was bound to respect or uphold. And although legislation was passed saying other-wise, nothing has changed, because the state of, primarily, mens heart has never changed.

What people of color and women were/are allowed to do with their bodies was/is a function of what white men permitted/permit.

The arrogant conduct and behavior of corruptible and vile men that is being displayed against women's reproductive and sexual stewardship should be viewed as a "wake-up-call' to remind women to accept and never forget their place.............at the beck and call of white men.

History is saturated with stories of abuse, primarily by white men, against people of color and women due to the combination of money, power and a penis. 

On any given Sunday, black men risk life and limp, in the coliseums of amerikkka. Like the Roman gladiators of ancient times, they perform, like high priced slaves, for the financial benefit of rich white men and the entertainment of an overwhelming white male audience.

According to Merriam Webster, the voice of linguistic authority, an addiction: is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli..... despite adverse consequences.

 However, an ad-dick-tion: is a brain and penis disorder characterized, infused, and aggravated by the addition of money and power. 

Women can't be addickted. Why?  Because they don't have a penis.

 Just like a man can never fully understand the miracle that God performs in a women's womb during child birth, a women can never understand the "spell" of being connected (mentally and physically) to a live penis.......with it's own satanic mind. 

Women became casualties and statistics of those in possession of a penis........period. A women can be "heavily" under the influence, but she kaint be addickted.

And even more women become abused by those males, not just those with power and a penis, but those clinically diagnosed  with an addicktion....the terrible three....money, power and a penis.

Yet, in a women's case, often time, the narrative gets twisted. 

It can still be about money and power but most women "think" they have become addickted because they don't know, understand, comprehend, or appreciate their special and particular place in relationship to God and His plan for salvation and the women's part in building and sustaining a nation.

If you have never been in a position to be in possession of all three (money, power, and a penis) you will never quite understand the satanic disorder and the seemingly effortless, destructive behavior that comes a long with having all three.

The current POTUS has an addicktion. 

Because of this disorder, as well as others, it is beyond scary to imagine just what he is capable of and just how far he will take us toward the brink of annihilation, just to prove who has the biggest penis, the most power of mass destruction, and the most money to define the outcome.

I live in hope. 

Why?

 Because God has promised us that whenever righteousness wanes and unrighteousness increases "I send myself forth." For the protection of the good and for the destruction of evil, and for the establishment of righteousness, "I Come" into being...........age after age. 

My expectancy determines my outcome...........yours too.

Marvel not; ye must be born again.

DUST, DIPPERS, WATER

                       

      Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

 Before I begin to pour out my soul in this blog page, I want to take this time to thank God.

 As we enter into this season of giving, I'm thanking God for so many things. 

If I was to start naming things that I thank him for, I would undoubtedly, leave a great portion of things out. Because I am unaware of all the things he does for me. All I know is that he is, forever, working behind the scenes on my behalf and on the behalf of all his children(key word: children). He is, forever, opening doors for me that I am unable to see. He is, constantly, keeping his hands of  protection and mercy all around me and those that I love. 

Right now at this very moment, all my needs or met.

 Further, I am also assured, that he is about to release blessings in my favor greater than I could ever think or imagine.   

 How can I be so assured? 

I'm assured because I stay connected to God via his spirit.

 I strive to live my life, on a daily basis, proving to "the God that created and developed me in the womb" that I appreciate the manifestation of his powerful, wise, and intelligent spirit intervening in all my daily affairs by ordering my thoughts, steps, and actions.

I can never thank God enough for his consistent and constant spiritual presence in my life.

He persistently reminds me that I have been regenerated into a spiritual being having a human experience.
I am no longer a human being following a powerless religious dogma and belief that has lulled - too many of us - to sleep.

 Rebirth has awakened my dark and dull understanding of who and what God really is and what is required of me to stay connected to the source of all life.

I am forever thankful and mindful of the fact that, so easily, my life could have taken another turn or twist.

For example:

I remember Malcolm Bliss Psychiatric Hospital in St. Louis Missouri.(a.k.a the crazy house)

As a child growing up in the 50's and 60's, I remember all too well, Malcolm Bliss being the place where people with mental health issues and psychiatric concerns went or were taken for care. Every once in a while I would overhear someone saying, "They took him to Malcolm Bliss: Needless to say, you seldom heard about them coming back. And if they did come back, they were never quite the same.

Some people didn't belong there.

Some may have behaved in an irrational manner one day and found themselves swept away to Malcolm Bliss for financial gain. Because in those days, when poverty was at an all time high, who ever admitted/committed you would receive a stipend for turning you in.

While, on the other-hand -  some  most definitely - needed to be restrained from commingling with other ["normal"] city residents. Why?  Because they had proven that they could not live peacefully and honorably in civilization.

Currently, there are  not many - if any - such facilities any where in the country adequately equipped to properly care for and restrain, such an enormous amount, of adults and children suffering with "mental illnesses and disease."

Unfortunately, due to political oversight, or by intent and design, people in desperate need of psychiatric care have become our neighbors.

They live in our communities, they work beside us, they share the highways with us, they use public transportation, they move freely in our shopping malls and grocery stores, they are in our military, on our police departments, in our jails and prisons(guards and inmates), and {God help us} they are holding positions in our schools, hospitals, and places of worship.

In the 1970's, if you were a person with virtually, no conscience, connections, cash, and you had a desire to make a plethora of money, you could purchase a 55 gallon drum of Phencyclidine (PCP), also known as angel dust, dippers, or water for around $25,000 - $35,000 dollars.

The DEA determined that individuals trafficking in PCP derived a gross income from their initial investment to be in the millions of dollars, depending on how the product was dispensed.

 In 1978, People Magazine and Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, called PCP the country's "number one" drug problem.

Why?

Mainly because of the psychological effects consistent with the short term use and long term mental disabilities associated with the use of the drug. Effects including but not limited to:
 - severe changes in body image
 - loss of ego boundaries
 - paranoia                                                                       

 - depersonalization
 - hallucinations
 - homicide and suicide impulses
 - aggressive behavior, altered mood states, and an unpredictable, unnatural physical strength.

Studies indicates that there is an extremly high rate of irreversible loss of brain function attributed to chronic users of PCP in any shape, form or fashion.

I would be lying if I said that, prior to my federal incarceration in 1986 for cocaine trafficking, I didn't sample PCP as a potential business venture. In my pursuit to obtain a fortune - by any means necessary - I had to know - first hand - the effect of the product that I was contemplating investing in.

I would also be lying if I said I sampled it more than once.

Why? Because once was enough!!!!!

Why? Primarily, because I never wanted to be THAT HIGH!!!!!!

Thank God he never let me have the mind to want to be "so high" on narcotics or alcohol that I wasn't conscience of my whereabouts and surroundings.

Further, I couldn't comprehend or stomach the devastation and havoc I saw PCP having in our neighborhoods and communities. Therefore, I opted out of it being part of my entrepreneurship in narcotics.

 Cocaine was bad enough; but at least it originated from a naturally growing plant/leaf and was not concocted in a factory or laboratory somewhere.

Today, you can walk into any convenience store, tobacco shop, or head shop and purchase(cheap, real cheap) Synthetic cannabinoids or sometimes - misleadingly - referred to as synthetic marijuana.

Synthetic cannabinoids has the same - no actually - a worse effect on humans beings than PCP ever had. Why? Because synthetic cannabinoids has proven to induce cannibalism in its users.

Yet, you can buy it............ right over the counter or on-line.

Recently, it has been reported that the drug is being given away to homeless residents in St. Louis and other major cities in hope that the users will kill each other. Rumor has it that the "new age urban loft dwellers" don't want them(the homeless) hanging around blighting their communities and entertainment venues so they are handing out "death packets" for free.

Something is seriously amiss in amerikkka. And considering who the current POTUS is.......things are only going to get worse....much worse.....before they get better.

If you don't know God......you better get to know him.......soon.

Marvel not, ye must be born again!!!!

" I SAID I WASN'T GONNA WRITE "NO-MORE" BLOGS LIKE THIS".............

 This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sigh be given it; but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sigh unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 

Jonah, regarded as the reluctant prophet, is the only one, of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible, to be mentioned in all three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

 According to the historical writings, Jonah refused to follow the command of God to go to Nineveh, a city in Assyria on the river Tigris opposite Mosul in Iraq (ancient Africa) and preach repentance to the Gentiles.

God demanded that the Gentiles repent "because their great wickedness is come up before me."  Jonah, instead seeks to flee from the presence of the Lord. He did not believe that the Gentiles should be given a chance for repentance, salvation and redemption. He felt that they only needed to be judged and condemned for their errors, wickedness, and evil ways.

 The story says that for his disobedience Jonah was confined in the belly of a gigantic fish until he was compelled to "repent ecstatically" for his attempted deviation from his calling.

In the end, Jonah did exactly what God wanted him to do and God did exactly what He always does for those that repent.......He had mercy upon them and  forgave them.

This act of kindness toward the Gentiles angered Jonah to the utmost...in fact he prayed to God, "I beseech thee, take my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live." Jonah would rather be buried in his grave then to see the children of wrath forgiven for their evil and wicked deeds.

 God referred to the Gentiles as a people who's heart, mind and soul was so bound by Satan that they could not discern the difference between their right hand and their left.

 Still, if they would turn from their wicked ways, and repent, they had a right to be a part of the family of God ........... just like the Hebrew children.

God has a plan. Further, he always has a man to implement His plan .

He always has somebody, whom He calls, chooses, qualifies, and then sends to inform the wicked what they must do to avoid falling into the path and wrath of a vengeful, and just.... Almighty God.

Historical writings indicate that "many are called but only a few are chosen." And the one chosen never wants to do the job.

Why?

Because the chosen one already knows that God is Merciful.

He already knows that if the wicked will turn from their evil ways, repent, and strive to live a godly lifestyle,  that God will "have mercy" on them and save them from the wrath that is "sure" to come to this disobedient and evil generation.

 Righteous behavior and obedience earns the favor of God.

Gods man already knows that.

But, sometimes, Gods man gets tired and when Gods man gets tired........God Himself gets tired too.

 Gods man gets tired of seeing the real savages, "satans imps" avoid justice for all the evil and madness they have perpetrated against the children of God. He then petitions to God to withhold His mercy and instead enter into the season of judgement.

Gods man then begins to call for, and pray for, the emergence of "the other" side of God.

The "flip side."

The side no one wants to talk about or see coming.       

The wrath of God.

The side God unleashes when He gets tired of our foolishness and also gets tired of the wickedness of others.

NBC NEWS reported recently that diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran are in peril.

The POTUS has increased his public attacks on The Middle East. "Surrender without a fight or surrender with a fight" is the current message coming out of the White House.

Do we see where mankind is heading?                                                Apparently not.

"I said I wasn't gonna write "no-more" blogs like this."

Why?

Because its obvious that God is getting our attention, but we have "stopped caring and listening."

It appears that the people have no fear of God.  It would be safe to say that the masses don't actually believe that there are consequences for disobedience to God and also for disobedience to Gods man.

Therein lies much of the problem ....... we can't discern "who" Gods man is?

Why?

Primarily, because we don't want to and because we are looking in the wrong places.

Gods man - just like Jonah - really doesn't "want" to be the instrument that God uses to manifest the truth.

However, he has to.

He has no choice.

Because its not about him and what he wants....its about glorifying  God and His Creation.

So you won't find Gods man surrounded by a crowd........because the crowd really doesn't want to hear the truth.

But the spiritual wickedness in this world is propelling righteousness to come forth and creation will have to lift him up for the world to see.

I said I wasn't gonna write no more blogs like this.

No more blogs about racist people "knockin us down, shootin us down and then kickin us" when we down.

 No more blogs about the deaths of black men and women at the hands of the police.

No more blogs about the black "two legged animals" terrorizing the residents, and especially, the senior citizens in our own neighborhoods. No more blogs about black people, killin' other black people, just for being black people.

No more blogs about the new/not new Prison Industrial Complex or the grade school to prison pipeline, or the institutional and systematic racism so prevalent within the criminal "unjust" system.

No more blogs about, "despite historically high unemployment rates and gross poverty in amerikkka,   Blacks have shown resiliency in their ability to PERSEVERE AS CONSUMERS.'

                                                                    WHAT!!!!!!!!!

Yes......black people don't produce anything as a unit, as a collective, as a group drawn together by common bonds -  like every other culture in this country has done - all we do is consume.

It's expected that $1.3 trillion dollars will be spent by blacks in amerikkka in 2018.

 I wonder what would happen if we didn't spend it?

"I said I wasnt gonna write no-more blogs like this'................I lied.

FANTASY ISLAND

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

FANTASY ISLAND is an American television series that originally aired on the ABC network from 1977 to 1984. It starred the mysterious Mr. Roarke and his energetic small person sidekick, Tattoo.

For a price, ( about $196,000 in current US dollars) you could have any fantasy fulfilled. 

Tattoo became famous for ringing the bell and shouting "Da plane! Da plane!" to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode.

Fantasies differed.

They could be harmless like reuniting with a loved one or serious like tracking down the murderers of your family. Often, the fantasy would take an unexpected turn and proceed down a quite different path than the guest expected.

Mainly, because Mr. Roarke had a strong moral code and was normally always merciful to his guest. He was always trying to teach them an important life lesson.

For example, say someone wanted to travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921 to view the successful black Greenwood community dubbed, "Black Wall Street."

 For a price, you could witness the race-riot that destroyed the community. You could be witness to -- one of the many -- mob actions in America --- normally brewed by a white women making a statement about a black man.

Watching it all unfold right before your eyes would be devastating enough.

But in your conscience mind you would be remembering all of the information that came out of a Congressional Investigation about the massacre on" Black Wall Street" years later.

Information like:  all 35 blocks of Greenwood were burned to the ground leaving about 10,000 black people homeless, more than 300 black people were killed, and homes and businesses were looted before they were destroyed.

Reports indicate that there were millions of dollars in property damage and about 6,000 black residents of Tulsa were detained in public facilities like the baseball stadium.

Standing there you would be aware that the real horror in it all was that, bombs were dropped - allegedly - to quell the riots.

The St. Louis Argus Newspaper, on June 10, 1921, reported that "The Negroes held their own until about 6 o'clock in the morning when a fierce attack was made upon them from the hill by cannons, and airplanes soared over the Negro section dropping fire on their houses." J.W. Hughes, principal of Dunbar Grade School wrote a statement that said that "at five o'clock a whistle was blown, seven aeroplanes were flying over the colored district..."

One unidentified newspaper account from June 12, 1921, alleged that, "The planes used during the riot which set fire to brick buildings are owned by the United States Government."

Wow!!!

That unbelievable drama happened in 1921. True reality not fantasy.  Fast forward to today.

Today the POTUS, Donald Trump, is the "Fantasy Island" Master of Amerikkka. Madness is running rampant. Satan...like a wounded beast, is on the loose.

And as horrendous as  the massacre of Black Wall Street was, it pale's in comparison to the mayhem that is yet to come. Presently, hundreds of thousands of American government workers are laid off. Or, even worse,  many are being forced to work without being paid, because the POTUS wants to build a wall on our southern border.

To coin a phrase from the past, "weaintseennuttinyet."

Even a blind man can see that our demise is imminent if we don't, atone, repent, unite, and prepare.

But before its all over, I'd love to take my turn with Mr Roarke and Tattoo on Fantasy Island.

My fantasy is going to be The Second Coming of Christ......... "I'M GOING TO BE THE CHRIST"

The second coming should not be confused with the event referred to as the Rapture. The church holds many positions on the rapture, but the Second Coming is undisputed.

The Second Coming is the event when Christ returns to the earth, manifested in flesh, the Son of The Living God, to defeat evil and establish His reign of truth, judgment, justice, freedom, and peace.

The days of God extending mercy will be over...........            Judgement will begin..........

Marvel not, ye must be born again.

CANAAN U.S.P.

                             "Out of Egypt have I called my son"

USA........Most people when they hear or see the word Canaan they are reminded of the Biblical Hebrew account of the land promised by God to Abraham. Eventually, God delivers - the land flowing with milk and honey - to the descendants of Abraham, the Israelites.  

Canaan was a region in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC. Typically, Western biblical scholarship has included ancient Canaan as part of a so called Middle East.

However, the ancient authors of the Bible had no such racial bias against Africa and ancient Canaan was generally understood in antiquity to be an extension of the continent of Africa.

(There was no Suez Canal artificially separating Africa from those lands to the East).

So, when the parents of Yeshua(Jesus) The Christ were in fear for the life of their son, it was only natural for them to take the well-traveled route of escape to Egypt in Africa.

To this day the biblical history has become increasingly problematic as the archaeological, linguistic, and textual evidence supports and interprets the idea that the early Israelites were in fact themselves Canaanites. The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah represented a subset of Canaanite culture.

During the Atlantic slave trade, many Christians began teaching that black Africans were descendants of Canaan Land and used the Curse of Ham to justify enslaving black Africans.

Up until 1978, The Mormon Church continued to deny access to their priesthood to Africans, because of the so-called curse.

Presently, according to the Mormon Church, the curse is no longer valid, the curse against people of color has been lifted. 

Well, the curse may have been lifted in theory but not in practice.

Today, over 1,500 hundred, mostly black and Hispanic men, are on a 23-hour a day lock-down at Canaan United States Penitentiary, in Canaan Township, Wayne County, near Waymart, Pennsylvania.

How ironic that Canaan....instead of becoming heaven has become hell......on earth for people of color.

All visiting and phone communication at the high security prison has been suspended until further notice. Sources confirm that all the inmates are currently confined in a 13x7 feet - two man cells. The prison was designed to occupy 1,088 prisoners but the count is well above that limit and growing. The state of Pennsylvania has a total of three high security federal prisons while some states, such as Missouri, don't have any federal prisons. Yet, in Missouri, they have over 20 state prisons. Apparently, - the show me state - wants to keep full control over operations of their prisons and prisoners.

The high rate of incarceration in this country, combined with the reports of cruel and unusual punishment taking place inside modern prisons may not mean anything to most people. There are those that feel that if you are in prison.....you did something wrong to get there. You deserve it.

Not necessarily so.

According, to a report published by the National Registry of Exoneration, a record number of people were exonerated in 2015 for crimes they didn't commit. Countless numbers of men and women, separated and removed from their loved ones, many, for nothing other than being the right color at the wrong time. Those cleared last year, had an average of 14.5 years spent in prison on false charges. Some on death row. Some were younger than 18 when they were convicted. Others had intellectual disabilities.

For a person that has never been incarcerated it's difficult to wrap your mind around the madness that occurs in prison but try, if you will, to envision this:

Can you imagine all the rape, murder, drugs, gambling, extortion, perversion, religion, gangs, politics, corruption, and abuse that we witness first hand, or are shown happening in this country through media outlets, all unfolding on your block and in your neighborhood..........with no police protection present?

Can you imagine, living, all day and all night, in a space not much bigger than a bathroom, with an individual that cant stand the sight of you, and you cant stand the sight of them either?

Try to imagine laying down with your head being 12 inches from a shared toilet in a prison built in the early 1900's? Or vision having a child while incarcerated and the stress associated with that?

How about adding some extreme heat, or bitter cold?

How about an infestation of roaches, rats, bed bugs, lice, crabs, unknown viruses, mold, unrecognizable food items, and top it all off with overt displays of racism by the prison staff and life has just gotten really, really serious for you.

In fact, it has become so serious, you have daily thoughts of homicide or suicide.

America has a serious problem.......systemic racism is at the root.

The current US Attorney General is positioned to deploy federal troops into the inner-cities to stem the violence while prisons are already busting at the seams. The present nucleus of oppressed people in this country are being pushed into a corner.

Poor people have no options but to fight back.

No amount of money, prestige, culture, or friendships will be able to protect the masses when the pendulum begins to swing.

If you don't have an active, personal, relationship with the Most High God right now.......I suggest you get one..........soon.

In the 1930's, POTUS Franklin D. Roosevelt introduce to this country a domestic agenda called the "New Deal."  In 1964, POTUS Lyndon B. Johnson promised us a "Great Society."  POTUS Donald Trump has promised to "Make America Great Again."

All of them have made claims to eliminate poverty and racial injustice, address education, provide medical care, and terminate oppression and depression.

It appears that the more things change.....the more they stay the same. And the worse is yet to come.

Marvel not; ye must be born again.
