Time again to break silence. Last year, I had a conversation…..a difficult conversation. What was being reluctantly discussed was mind programming. Specifically – techniques of mind programming, results of mind programming, and the extent of the use of mass mind programming by its three biggest practitioners – the news media, state prescribed educational curricula and … More Matth 10:8
Some ideas threaten the entire fabric of our belief system, the value system anchored to it, and the decisions and behaviour that flow from both. They threaten our entire constructed identity. No wonder then, that we vehemently protect ourselves from these dangerous ideas and have constructed semi- impregnable prophylactic psychic defenses to prevent the sperm … More Dangerous ideas
The deployment of psychological weapons in the subjugation of conquered peoples is a strategy widely recognized. Naked aggression might win wars but it does not efficiently subjugate conquered peoples. It tends to foment rebellion and create instability. As much as global multi-culturalism, with its promise of increased international harmony, is a welcome break from the … More Black History – Day 5 Brown vs Black

I’ve long since been impervious to the perceptions and opinions of others….not disdainfully…..but I recognize that most people will be stuck their whole lifetimes with … More All-encompassing Glory
If there is an ongoing Great Philosophical Debate between Science and Religion, there is an equally salient if less public debate between the claims of Religion and those of History.

Welcome, I’ve decided to promote my Blog: The Half not told – Black History without the whitewash during Black History Month. In my most popular article last month, To bow or not to bow I mentioned the fact that we’ve been around for quite a while (Africans). Certainly longer than anyone else. Who we are … More Black History Month – Day 1
