THE FALL...

 Civilizations... Great Civilizations...

Are comprised of individuals (the people)...

When Great Civilizations fall, they 1st do so from Within, thus allowing enemies 2 physically invade & conquer them...

THE FALL

When the Individual, the Family,  the Community,  the Country PLACES Might OVER Right, the FALL will follow...

Being Silent during this process means that 1 is COMPLICIT...

NO CIVILIZATION (COUNTRY) has lasted,  much less flourished when MIGHT is placed over RIGHT...

This formula is NOT sustainable...

This Country was founded on this FAILED formula...HISTORY gives us many... THAT'S right,  this Country has suppressed HISTORY due 2 it possibly HURTING feelings...

WE ARE

At another infection point as a Country...We have an opportunity as individuals, families, communities, Country 2 select the sustainable formula of

RIGHT 

(Unity with others while EMBRACING the best in each of us, along with WANTING the best 4 your fellow citizen & self, etc.) 

Over

MIGHT 

(Which will hasten our demise & ENDING as a Country)...See Roman Empire, as an example...

For the Intellectually Naive...

This does not mean do not have the ability to protect ourselves...

It means not using (valuing) MIGHT 2 suppress/oppress others...

THIS coming election is not JUST about Vice President Harris & Mr. Trump, it's also about ALL of our other politicians...

Additionally & MORE importantly,  it's about US the people...It's about us holding ALL of the politicians accountable & making them work 4 our COMMON good...

Within THIS election cycle, look at which candidate (& their party) currently represents inclusion 4 all of it's citizens (RIGHT) versus benefits 4 just some, while opressing others (MIGHT) ...

BANANA IN THE TAIL PIPE

 Things that make Ya Say Hmmm...

Since the Presidential Debate, there's been the cry 4 President Biden 2 step down...

2 support this cry, polls have been referenced, yet, I don't know anyone who has been polled...

How many of you have been polled? 

I've watched the debate, recorded & studied it...

This was not the President's best... He appeared 2 be sick & his energy was low... Additionally, within the first 5 minutes, along with the moment he froze, he looked terrible...

YET

On substance, he destroyed Mr. Trump...

MY POINT

Is it really about his performance & age that is driving the cry 4 him 2 step down?  Mr. Trump is 3 years younger & has public mental lapses...Repeatedly saying Nicki Haley instead of Nancy Pelosi 4 example...

Additionally, he had over 30 false statements versus 9 for President Biden during the debate...

Is it because the Biden Administration has failed?  No...See the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, The Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act of 2024, the Emmett Till Anti Lynching Act of 2022 for example..

There's cries that we fared better under Mr. Trump's Administration...No,

He increased the National debt to become the 3rd highest in US History, in which it was reported that he was well on the way prior 2 the COVID pandemic 

(REMEMBER he was in his LAST year in office when COVID shutdown our country) ...

Additionally, his mishandling of the Pandemic caused unnecessary death within our country...

Lastly, his presidency emboldened white supremacists/nationals ...

I submit that the cry 4 President Biden 2 step down is about VP Harris...

President Biden can beat Mr. Trump again... The FEAR is if he wins, he then would step down & VP Harris would become president....

Additionally, this Administration wants the wealthy 2 pay their just portion of taxes, strengthen working class people (Unions),   continue 2 give access 2 quality education & Protect everyone's civil rights....

The People/Entities that would be affected the most are the ONES crying the LOUDEST 4 him 2 step down...

DON'T Fall 4 the Banana in the Tail Pipe

RESILIENCE...IN SPITE OF...

Peace/Blessings,

Education is important...

Through education, one has the opportunity to gain Understanding, which comes after Knowledge (Data/Information) and Wisdom (Discernment of the Data/Information)...

A pillar of Western Civilization is that African People were rescued from themselves when enslaved...& truly do not have the ability to uplift and sustain themselves without the guidance of the European...

There has always been a concerted effort to suppress history, which has been intensified...This is currently manifested in the banning of books and any information that would make people feel bad about themselves...

 -People who choose to suppress truth, ALREADY feel bad about themselves...   

 -People who choose to oppress others, ALREADY feel bad about themselves...                                                                            

Knowledge is not power (in and of itself)...It's a part of the puzzle that leads to power...It's a part of one's foundation that leads to power...                                                                                                                         

Africans have always manifested our resilience in the mist of the most harsh conditions in the United States of America...

We have always found a way to thrive during the mist of the rules being changed once we achieved...                                                                                                                            

We find a way to tap into our Ancestral DNA for guidance...                

This is the reason there are those who DO NOT want Africans to know who we are, what we  have achieved, what has been done against us and what is owed to us...Hotep

THE 4TH... FREEDOM

 Peace/Blessings, 

"...If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the roar of its mighty waters.

The struggle may be a moral one or it may be a physical one, or it may both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will. 

Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress..." 

Fredrick Douglass

STOP looking for SOMEONE 2 save YOU...

There is NO mystery GOD in the sky that will Swoop down to SAVE You...

The GOD energy is Within YOU...RE-CONNECT & Manifest your FREEDOM...

GO BACK & RE-READ THE ABOVE PASSAGE & PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION 2 THE LAST PARAGRAPH...

COMMENTARY - SUPREME COURT IMMUNITY RULING - RAMIFICATIONS

Peace/Blessings,
ITS THE DUTY OF A CIVILIZED MAN TO TEACH...EDUCATE...
Today the Supreme Court ruled that Mr. Trump was immune from any actions that he enacted as President...& OR will be if reelected as President
HISTORICALLY...
Under Republican Presidents Bush (the 1st), Bush (the 2nd) and Trump, when they left office, they left America in tremendous debt...
CONVERSELY
Under Democratic Presidents Clinton and Obama, when they left office, they did so leaving their Republican successors with a SURPLUS...Mr. Biden is on track to CLEANING up Mr. Trump's tenure in office...(SEE BELOW)
TRUMP
Under Mr. Trump, the National Debt rose by $7.8 Trillion (THIS WAS HAPPENING PRE-COVID)...He was dubbed the 'King of Debt'...This is nearly twice the debt that President Biden has created so far...
So NO Mr. Trump was not good for the economy and NO we were not better off...
The above would be consistent actions of a person who has had 6 Bankruptcies...
UNDER Mr. Trump, Hate Crimes rose exponentially...ESPECIALLY against 'Black' people.. (Research FBI report)
IF RE-ELECTED
It is documented that if Mr. Trump is reelected, the following WILL take place...SOME ARE ALREADY TAKING PLACE (influenced by Mr. Trump -(Supreme Court), legislators and organizations that support Mr. Trump...
-Women's Reproductive Rights Reversal (Roe v. Wade)
(Having Legislators (State) be the decision makers versus a Woman and her Physician)...WHO PROTECTS WOMEN FROM THE STATES?
-Project 2025...
-Dismantling of the Dept. of Education
-Civil Rights protections
-Employment Protections
(SPECIFICALLY, IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR/WOMAN/PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED, etc., THE PROTECTIONS THAT YOU CURRENTLY ENJOY, WILL SYSTEMATICALLY BE ERODED)-Included would also be just recognition for Promotions/Advancement/Equal Pay for same job responsibilities
-Attack of the FEARLESS FUND (Investment in women of color lead businesses)
-Elimination of Academic Scholarships marked for Minorites (ALREADY HAPPENING)
The stage is being set to have Mr. Trump become a DICTATOR (See Immunity ruling)...
BIDEN
I've been asked what has President Biden done in office? I've been told that his time in office has been trash...I've been told that he should have been been seen more and that he is just too old...
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
-The Infrastructure Act (2021) - Bipartisan
Highlights
roads, bridges, and major projects;

-Excusing of Student Loan Debt
-Increased funding to HBCUs

-The stock market has been more favorable to the Biden Presidency than Mr. Trump's
THIS ELECTION is NOT just about the Presidency...It's also about JUDGES and LEGISLATORS (Federal/State/Local)...It's about our Families/Communities
WITH THE ABOVE INFORMATION, IF ONE IS STILL INCLINED TO VOTE FOR MR. TRUMP OR NOT VOTE AT ALL, YOU HAVE TOLD ME THAT YOU DO NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY (See Hate Crimes) and that CONSCIOUSLY/SUBCONSCIOUSLY) that you do not care for POSITIVE growth of this COUNTRY...
ADDITIONALLY, you are SAYING THAT YOU ARE READY TO GIVE UP THE liberties that you've enjoyed & COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN...
It's a duty of a CIVILIZED man to Teach/Educate...Hotep
