MONKEYS

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, one of the monkeys will go to the stairs and start to climb toward the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.

One after one, a monkey make an attempt with the same results, and the monkeys are sprayed with the cold water. Pretty soon, none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairs. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt, and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next , remove another of the original five monkeys, and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkeys with a new one, then a forth, and then a fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been strayed with cold water, Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.     WHY NOT?
BECAUSE AS FARE AS THEY KNOW, THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DONE AROUND HERE!!!

A Quote by GODfearinGntiManKING


The problem with there being no GOD is that then man takes his place at that position whatever is in man comes to the surface and eventually since men seek to conquer secretly or openly there will be a group of men being god leading to a man being god.

We cannot often trust our own politicians with the power they have because education does not produce morality nor wisdom.

There were and are evil educated men

Mankind gets his purpose from his DESIGNER AND CREATOR

Without it he is a stray abusing his intelligence in ways animals can't to invent new ways to violate each other and worst spit in GOD's face with the worst and darkest depravity that is in him having rejected a pure image of GOD for a tainted one from a dark imagination within his own heart.

AFRICAN ORIGIN OF THE WORD "WITCH"

African origin of the word "witch"

Witches and witch doctors were once highly revered.

Now they are considered community threats.

Until the recent turn of the tide, if a child exhibited special gifts he/she was given to the tribal shaman for training to step into his/her  "honorable" destiny as healer.

Now misguided, misinformed parents abandon or try to kill their offspring based upon fear, superstition, and hearsay. No gifts are necessarily even shown, although that would increase the likelihood of the child's death.

The witch snitching is widespread across the continent. A friend recently spent three months as a volunteer teacher in Ghana, where he witnessed innocent animals beaten to death because they were thought to be witches. Christian colonialism has reinforced that the only true witch doctor is "Jesus. "  This all smacks of Salem, the Crusades...

It is time for people of African descent to reclaim and understand our historical link to the witches. The terms "witch" and "wise woman" actually had their origins in ancient Kemet (Egypt's true name, meaning Land of the Blacks). Wadj (or Uadj) is a Kemetic word meaning "power, health, green, water." A wadj scepter represents a tied bundle of herbs for health and prosperity. A variant of the word is Udja (pronounced WOO-jah), where the term Ouija board is also derived from.

The Mdw Ntr (hieroglyphic symbol) is believed by many to actually represent a mortar and pestle. Another variant is Ujdat (WOO-chaht), the name for the protective amulet representing the Eye of Heru, which is comprised of the protective psychic/magickal energies of Wadjet and her sister Nekehebet (who are actually Ast/Isis and her sister Neb-t Het). Wadjet (Uadjet, Uachet) is a term for a strong magickal woman who can suddenly bend energy for healing.

Much of the Yoruba language and traditions can be traced directly to Kemet. Aje (ah-JZAY) is a Yoruba term meaning witch.

The Aje is an energy like Wadjet. The Aje are symbolized as birds, who lovingly, fiercely protect their witch queen Oshun. Anyone who offends Oshun must answer to the Aje, or witches. A little known Yoruba prophecy says that balance will not be restored on the planet until the Aje have risen to their rightful places once more. Anglo-Saxons claim the word witch came from wicca. However, an early, older variant of the word in their language was wicce, pronounced "weecha." Wicce meant a wise woman/wise man healer. Wadjet. Weecha. Witch. Also for the record, the Kemetic term for wise woman, "Rekhut, Rekhuit, Rekhit, Rekhat," means "skilled in words, knowledge, and craft."

The Mdw Ntr (or hieroglyphics) are comprised of a mouth (Re), a placenta (kh sound like the "ch" in "chutzpah") and a bread loaf (t) indicating a female. The Rekhut was believed to have mastery of and work with the Uadj energy. Rekhut was also a name for Ast (Isis), recognized and honored today as a witch because she represents the ultimate female magickal healer.

The pentagram is actually Sepdet, the star of Ast, held within a protective shen. Quiet as it's kept, there is also a prophecy that balance will not return to the planet until Ast's star rises to it's rightful place and she is seated on her rightful throne once more. Variants of this prophecy are whispered in traditions throughout the world. With this rich history and prophecy of hope based on the strength of witches, it is sorrowful that people have fearfully turned against the power source that will heal humanity. Stand strong in our proud tradition.

We are the witches. We have returned.

No Sin, No Death

A chant of the Sun Drummer :
I will never die
for I am indestructible consciousness .

I have lose 2 wives . and it is the sins of the world and its ppl.that brings death to our door.
We should live to be 100 easily but our sinful life style will not allow it. No body to blame but the sin.
On the right hand of God , what is their ?
On the left hand of God , what is their ?

Death is only a doorway to another life. another dimension of reality ( Spirit ) .

Gal. 4 :19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Stop giving your power away.
ppl. of light
1 Love

Your right I did, sorry about that ;


A memorial to (HER).
The stories of the New are but a reflection of the Old.
With out the Old writings there wouldn't be New , so everything in the New represent a something of the old.
Question in my mind ?
How were they able to write the story of Jesus so accurately , word for word. ????  
No recording devise's back then.
No camera's
No one walked behind him taking notes.
No newspapers , TV, Radio, phones
Only word of mouth.
It takes 4 or 5 yrs. later (AD) and then the story of Jesus is revealed.  The Old Testament is how they did it.
Jesus means (God-saved)  so does the name of (MOSES)
who is the savor of his people,(Israel) Moses never made it to the promised land either. Moses brought the Law,  Jesus brought the law in reverse, He followed none of the Old laws.
 
  When you are reading the stories of the New, it will most of the time reflect some one or something in the past.
The memorial is not about life and marriage ; it is about the mark of death. Sin brings about death. Jesus never anointed with oil on his head he was anointed on his feet. which changes what I originally posted. ( My bad ) .But a marriage none the less.
The anointing of the feet is tradition turned up side down.
God anoints the head because that is were your higher power is. The serpent anoints the feet, kisses the feet of man, anoints the sinful nature of man. This woman , much like the woman of old named Delilah who set up Samson and caused his fall from power..
Samson is seduced by Delilah, Jesus is taken by this woman, a certain woman. Some one other than a Israelite woman.
A memorial so we would not forget her.
Everything that is represented by one (Jesus) will reflect the many or nation. The nation of Israel


Israel the man had Two wives , he has in love with the younger of the two.
the first was Leah =(weary)
the second was Rachel = (ewe,sheep)
(weary + sheep ) lost sheep

Jesus / Luke 10: 38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.

 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.

 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Martha means (mistress) the head of the house.
Mary means ( rebellious) who he loved.
when your feet are anointed with the oil or ointment of a rebellious woman . the children or nation is set for a fall.

Luke 2: 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

(the story of Israel in reverse) this is the time of the SHIFT OF POWER. The death of one nation and the rise of another.

A woman who was not of Israel but a certain woman.
A memorial is to help you remember the long departed.

MEN' have you ever been anointed ? 
Were you married before or after the anointing ?
Anointing the head or the spirit head is all spiritual.
Anointing the feet or lower head is all physical and lustful.
NO MARRIAGE

Proverbs 6: 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

LUKE 13 : 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

The Reality of Truth as I see it.
Exodus 2 : 22 I have been a stranger in a strange land

I know that this is very hurtful but all divorces are.
Matthew 5 : 31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

If everything you read is reversed in the laws of God; it is the work of the devil.
The anti-Christ

Psalms 30: 9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Isaiah 30: 1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Now you can see why Jesus said :
Matthew 10 : 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Now it is my turn.

ARE ALL MEN DOGS

ARE ALL MEN DOGS??

Posted 2:48 am

ARE ALL MEN DOGS??


I'M UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU WOMEN ARE HAVING A HARD TIME CHOOSING AND KEEPING A MAN. YOUR GUARD IS UP AND YOUR HEARTS HAVE BEEN BROKEN. FOR SOME OF YOU, YOUR INSECURITIES FORCE YOU TO FALL BACK ON TANGIBLE ITEMS, USED AS A CRUTCH, TO EXALT YOUR INDEPENDENCE AND SELF ESTEEM. BEING THAT I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHOM I LOVE, CHERISH, AND WILL HAVE TO GIVE AWAY AT SOME POINT IN TIME *DON'T COUNT ON IT* I WILL SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I'LL BE SHARING WITH HER IN REGARDS TO MEN.

FIRST AND FOREMOST, ALL MEN ARE DOGS!!

WHAT DOG YOU CHOOSE IS TOTALLY UP TO YOU, SO PLEASE CHOOSE WISELY!

HERE ARE THE FOLLOWING LIST OF DOGS AS I SEE IT:

SHOW DOGS - MEN WHO LOOK GOOD, PERFORM TRICKS, AND APPEAR TO BE WELL DISCIPLINED. WOMEN REAP THE PLEASURE OF BEING SEEN WITH THEM AND BENEFIT FROM PRIZES AWARDED TO THEM. A SHOW DOG WHO STEMS FROM ANOTHER SHOW DOG OR "PEDIGREE" WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE SEEN AS A MEAL TICKET. I.E.MOVIE STARS, ATHLETES, ETC.

GUARD DOGS - MEN WHO ARE MADE TO LOOK OR COME OFF AS INTIMIDATING. IN MOST CASES, THEY'RE NOT THE BEST LOOKING DOGS, BUT THEIR SIZE AND REPUTATION ARE DECIDING FACTORS IN GIVING THEM A HOME. WOMEN GENERALLY CHOOSE THESE DOGS FIRST FOR SECURITY ISSUES AND LATER GROW TO LOVE THEM. I.E THUGS

STRAY DOGS - MEN WHO HAVE NO PLACE TO GO. THEY LOOK HARMLESS, HOPELESS AND CUTE. IN MOST CASES, THESE DOGS HAD A GOOD HOME BUT FELT THE URGE TO VENTURE ELSEWHERE. YET, IN SOME CASES, THESE DOGS ARE NEGLECTED. IN EITHER CASE, YOU CAN'T BE QUITE SURE WHAT YOUR GETTING YOURSELF INTO WHEN ACCEPTING THESE DOGS. YOU MIGHT BE DEALING WITH RABIES OR TRAUMATIZATION THAT CAN CAUSE A PROBLEM LATER. WHO KNOWS? THEY MIGHT BE ON THE RUN FROM THE DOG CATCHER. I.E THUGS/PLAYERS/HUSTLERS

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

FAMILY DOGS - MEN THAT YOU CAN TRUST TO SAFEGUARD YOU, YOUR KIDS AND YOUR HOME. THESE MEN ARE GENTLE AND DEFENSIVE. THEY DON'T NEED TO BE KEPT ON A LEASH AND ONLY ATTACK WHEN WARRANTED. FOR THE WOMEN WHO LIKE TO BE TREATED AS QUEENS, THESE DOGS ARE THE BEST THING GOING. NOT ONLY WILL THEY BRING YOUR PAPER AND SLIPPERS, YOU CAN CUDDLE WITH THEM WITHOUT FEAR OF FLEAS OR DISEASE. THEY COMPLIMENT THE HOUSE, THAT YOU'VE TURNED INTO A HOME, AND ONLY REQUIRE TO BE FED AND PLAYED WITH FROM TIME TO TIME :-) HIS TONGUE MIGHT HANG AND HIS TAIL MIGHT WAG, BUT HE'LL NEVER LEAVE YOUR SIDE.


UNFORTUNATELY, WOMEN CHOOSE THEIR MEN BY WHAT'S IN STYLE AT THE TIME. TRANSITIONS FROM GERMAN SHEPHERD, TO DOBERMAN PINCHER, TO PIT BULL WITH NO STURDY COMPANIONSHIP. NO ONE EVER APPRECIATES A "LASSIE" UNTIL IT'S TIME TO CALL FOR HELP. BY THAT TIME....IT COULD BE FAR TOO LATE!

BOW WOW LADIES



NOTE - ANY DOG THAT HAS HAD THE PROPER TRAINING WILL/CAN BE AN EXCEPTION.

Nobody but us can save us. Thank you

4/26/2010 Roseland Hospital /8:15am
My rash is out of control, giving my heart beat another off beat. They gave me some "Diphenydramine 25 MG capsules".
Because I don't know that is causing the rash on my body, I have no other choice but to take this drug. If I could get a handle on what is causing this rush, I would not be suffering right now.
There are people out there that know all about my condition, and they don't what to make it public. Why would they ? Then there would be less drugs to push to the public. The only warning they give you about this "Benadril" is that it will make you Drowey...
Reading the info. Possible side effects : Drowsiness ; Sedation;Headache; Dry mouth; Stomach discomfort or pain; Constipation; Nausea; Decreased appetite; Increased appetite. It's 3:00pm and I took one pill. OK so far.

4/28/2010 ; 9:52am
Late night was bad, my head and my heart was in trouble. That Benidrill is dangerous. My body says stop, do not take another pill. My head hurts, and my heart jumped a little.
I am convinced that hospitals are not here to help the poor get better. The poor can not afford to get sick.
You would think that as long as there have been heath care in this world and country, that they would have figured this game of illness, and solution of curing
the sick a long time ago. There is a better way.
There need to be a network of what works, and the why's and why not.

It is 10:45, my good friend Daniel just called my to check up on me. He told me that a long time friend had past away. Sister Mahlayla" the spelling may be wrong. She had the health food store on 71 st. & Jeffrey. She died of cancer.

With the collective minds of the people who want to live life to it's fullest, and not die of illness ; we need to connect with each other now.

4/30/2010 ; 8:18 pm :
It's been a rough day. my eyes feel so heavy. I went out today and tried to sell my old PA system ; I haven't played with it in 20yrs and low and behold it did not work like new. It has half of the power and only half of the six mic holes work.
I couldn't sell it. It's very heavy, and the exercise kicked my tail. It made my throat swell and shorten my breathing. There is a natural solution to my problem I just don't have the money to buy it. I could use a little help please .
Thank you , tomorrow will be better'

5/2/2010 ; 8:12pm :
Feeling much better, I went out side today and cut the grass. I did not get tired at all. I have been taking some liver detox pills that are working on my rash. I pick them up from ; Dr. Lisa Lau ; (Herbalist) 312-808-1186 , 2802 S Wentworth Ave.
Chicago IL 60616.
Now I need to find out what is causing my throat to swell.

3/30/2010 - Back to the Hospital.

My second visit to John Stroger Hospital . I got there around 8:45am, I needed to get an opinion about the infection, and swelling in my throat.
Let it be known , I do not like Hospitals . Absolutely the last place that any one should go for help. There solution to a health problem is a DRUG solution.
This is what happened this day.
I all ready had an appointment,9:00am: an it took a couple of hours before I got the call. A young lady who is a ENT; Ear, Nose , and Throat specialist, examined me. She was sick . I mean she had a cold ; runny nose, and working in a hospital.
My throat has been like this for well over a year, and little by little it is getting better. Set backs happen whenever I get stressed-out , not enough sleep or run out of healing food and herbal goodies.
The lady doctor took one of those snake like scope seeing instruments and put it in my nose to look at my throat. OooooHhhhhh OUCH!!!!!!!! !
She didn't see much, a little redness. and then she recommended a drug for some one with reflux (?) That was it. There was no cultures taken, no blood work , nothing put under the microscope. and if the drug doesn't work than it will take 3 months of waiting to get a different drug for the same problem.
I was out of there at 12:15pm. It's a lovely day.
I'm not going out like that. I looking for a non drug solution ..Something Natural. They can not save us. Only we can save us.

Little Known Black History Facts

Little known black history fact



A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.



At first the white people breathed a sigh of relief. "At last," they said. "No more crime, drugs, violence and welfare. All of the blacks have gone!"




Then suddenly, reality set in. The "NEW AMERICA" is not America at all -- only a barren wasteland!



1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system.



2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors.



3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gear shift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals.



4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because it's procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson.



5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper.



6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines, and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented the fountain pen, Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Love invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all, you guessed it, Black.



7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing invented the Letter Drop.



8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower.



9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. You see, Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace.

Their homes were also dim. But of course, Lewis Later invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern and Granville T . Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop & Lloyd P. Ray the Dust Pan.



10. Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board and George T . Samon invented the Clothes Dryer.



11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator.


Now, isn't that something? What would this Country be like without the contributions of Blacks, as African-Americans? Martin Luther King, Jr., "by the time we leave for work, Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks."



Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey & W.E.B. Dubois.

THE HUSBAND STORE

The Husband Store
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND?


A store has opened that will offer free husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:

“You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors to choose from. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely Good Looking.

“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims. “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the Sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 71,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that you are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

AND YOU ASK, "WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD MEN?" LOL


To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a Wife Store just across the street.

The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.

The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and like to cook.

The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited....

_ The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment by Borgna Brunner

For forty years between 1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were thus deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. “As I see it,” one of the doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.” Using Human Beings as Laboratory Animals The true nature of the experiment had to be kept from the subjects to ensure their cooperation. The sharecroppers' grossly disadvantaged lot in life made them easy to manipulate. Pleased at the prospect of free medical care —almost none of them had ever seen a doctor before— these unsophisticated and trusting men became the pawns in what James Jones, author of the excellent history on the subject, Bad Blood, identified as “the longest non-therapeutic experiment on human beings in medical history.” The study was meant to discover how syphilis affected blacks as opposed to whites —the theory being that whites experienced more neurological complications from syphilis, whereas blacks were more susceptible to cardiovascular damage. How this knowledge would have changed clinical treatment of syphilis is uncertain. Although the PHS touted the study as one of great scientific merit, from the outset its actual benefits were hazy. It took almost forty years before someone involved in the study took a hard and honest look at the end results, reporting that “nothing learned will prevent, find, or cure a single case of infectious syphilis or bring us closer to our basic mission of controlling venereal disease in the United States.

(ME) - What a beastly act of an inhumane society, but it nothing new for them to do to people not of there kind. They all so did it to the Native Americans with smallpox. It's like dropping an invisible bomb on our community, and we are still suffering today from the fallout, and complications of STD's . The only way to stop the transmission of these diseases is to find a cure, or stop the transmission. Every women that I know personally my (60), that had or has the disease HERPES, has died or either they had to have a historicity from complications from the disease.

Men/Women who have the disease should stop; so that it can no longer spread.

FATHER,S

FATHERS -Father ; 1.a male parent 2. God. 3. an ancestor 4. an originator, founder, or inventor 5. a Christian priest : used as a title. / from Webster's Dictionary

There is a reality that is, and a reality that could be. All things created require a head and a tail. When the father is missing from ones family ; the children are left to grow up in the reality of the world around them.

I miss my father, he became a missing in action father, and I lost him around the age of five or so. He and my mother could not get along with each other. My father served in the U.S. military and after a dispute in his home town of Tennessee, That US Military uniform he wore, didn't mean a dame thing to those race-ist men of Tennessee. had to flee for his life, and he can to Chicago,Ill. were he met my mother. All praise due to the mother's who are left to raise the children on their own. What did I learn from my father? Well, I learned that I don't like to arguments, or arguing with anybody. I learned not to smoke cigarettes, no matter how cool it looks.(KOOLS)' that was the brand , or was it (VICEROY); it could have been (CHESTERFEILD"S) ; it was a long time a go. I learned not to drink alcoholic beverage for the purpose of getting wasted. And most important, to be sure you let your first wife know, that you want to have a second wife. Not doing so will surely make your life a living hell.

My father was a strong man; to me he was a superman. I mean he could pick me up with one arm, and I could feel the strength of his muscel when I hung from his arm. I soon learned that you can't win , when you fight with your mate. I had an aunt , who lived next door to us. She was Aunt Anna, my favorite Aunt. She and her husband got into a fight . He hit her and she pick up a beer bottle and lade him out cool, and that was the last time I saw here husband.. One night I heard my folks arguing, and and fighting and dishes braking, and when the morning came; I saw my father no more.

I think that is why I was so afraid of women, in a fight , the men would use disappear. They us to say about me ; he's us shy, no I was afraid ; a women is not a thing to be messed with.

The reality that is : We live in a society were we are encouraged to lie, and we lie about everything. A society based on lies, will only produce greater lies.

You know that's so good about the 10 Commandments ; It's this; If you break one , you've broken then all. If cigarettes cause cancer, which is a bad thing, shouldn't that be illegal and unlawful for someone to sell you death. If foods cause cancer, and they do; there should be an understanding of what kinds of food to eat and how to combine them. (the forbidden). We spray are foods with pesticides to kill weeds and bugs, which equals poison food that we consume. We drive vehicles that pollute the air and we are poisoning ourselves, and the air of the planet. Any concept based on lies will not stand the test of time. The problem with America is that it's conception is laced with sinful deeds. The annihilation of the native Indians; over 60 million. African slaves ; over 100 million or more destroyed in the middle passage. Every story has a beginning and a ending. Can you envision how this story "America" will end. Only if you our the head, will this story turn to the right hand of justice. The people of truth. The people of righteousness. The people with the insight not to pollute the lakes and rivers that we have to drink from. Then turn right around and make you pay for something that should be free to the world. I gift from the Creator.

Fathers teach your children righteousness.

Pov.13:1 A wise son hearth his father's instruction ; but a scouner heareth not rebuke. He that spateth his rod hateth his son ; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes,

Eze. 18:14 Now, lo if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not like,

Pov. 13:14 The Law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

FRIENDSHIP by Muhammad Ali

Friendship is a priceless gift, that can not be bought nor sold, but it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless, it can nether see nor hear, and in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer. Gold has no ears to listen, no heart to understand. It can not bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if he sends not diamonds, pearls or riches, but the love of real, true friends.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? 2010/1/29

So many have died and I'm still here. Why am I still here? I guess I'm here to teach you how to die with honor. What is my name and what does it mean? What is your name, and what is it's number, for it will tell you your life's path. Everything must change. The young become the old. I am in the declining years of my life. Is there another song to be sung. May I not pass away with a lie on my lips. I'm going to keep asking the question ; what is the meaning of the word Haiti, until someone give me a true answer. What is the meaning of the word "Haiti". For now, at this time Haiti is just another way of saying negre; French,or negro in Spanish. Negro is a Spanish word meaning black. Black is an English word meaning negro; that's how it should be read in a Spanish dictionary. An earthquake in Haiti, and someone said it is the end of the world. Yes' it is the end of the world, but with every ending there is a beginning . What happen to all the dinosaurs. This could be are fate, extinction.
If you want to be black, you will not be seen. Just go and turn off the lights, and you will see what I mean. black is a color. We have turned a color, black into a concept. My skin is brown, not black. Every nation of people have a connection to a Land. The People and the Land, and their name. If you are not in control, and you don't own it. It's not yours. The name was given to you and you claimed it, TOBY. Now; who are you, Alice in Wonderland?
Life is a listen , and mistakes will be made. When something is broken we must fix it. It's time for a new name. Haiti' no more. It's time for a new name Black's no more. What is your name?
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my month and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in the sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Once you get burned by the fire, you keep your distance. Why would you build your house on fault or on shaky ground. Why would you poison the air and the water's that you have to use? Why would you put things in and on your body that will do you know good.

"HAITI" NO MORE!

When I was a little boy, growing up with my mother, and brothers. We use to complain about the summer heat. It would get so hot out side. She would tell us to go out side and play, and we would say, "it's hot out there" and she would say, "it's hot in Haiti too.
I think she was using the word "Haiti" in the place of "HELL" cause she didn't want her children repeating anything bad that might come out of her mouth.
HELL and HAITI' are negative words.
What is the power of a word?
If you call on "Hell" will it come?
Maybe we should out calling the land and it's people a negative, and give them something positive. Save one,save the world.

HAITI" the word

The ancient name of Haiti

Today I was cataloguing a new booklet into my library, called THE ABORIGINES OF THE ANCIENT ISLAND OF HISPANIOLA by Herbert W. Krieger. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution, 1929.

The first sentence is: The island of Hispaniola, anciently known as Haiti to its aboriginal inhabitants, is occupied jointly by the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti.

This struck me as curious. The FACT in question, the ancient name of Haiti, is one that I have known since..... well, a long time. But I never think about it much and I don't think I'd every noticed a sentence like that before. It made me start reflecting.

First there was Haiti. Then the Spanish changed the name to Santo Domingo. Eventually in 1697 there is the formal division of the island into Santo Domingo and Saint-Domingue. The Dominican side has several fluxuations of name over the years, and, as this group knows only too well, on Jan. 1, 1804, Saint-Domingue ceases to exist and modern Haiti is born.

I think every school child in Haiti knows all this, but it seems curious that it is easy to forget that there was a full circle for at least this 1/3 the island of Hispaniola from Haiti to Saint-Domingue and then back to Haiti again.

Just a tidbit for this Superbowl Sunday!

Bob: First, there was Ayiti, Quisqueya and Bohio. The Haitians took the first, the Dominican, the second, and thank God, no one took the third! The Spanish first called the three-named island, La Isla Espanola (before Santo Domingo), later mispronounced and known by its diminutive, Hispaniola. On January 1st 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines and the victorious insurgents gave the WHOLE island its ancient name, Hayti. At that time, the whole island belonged to France, and the eastern two-thirds remained in French hands. In the 1820s, Dominicans would come to refer to their side as Spanish Hayti. In French encyclopedias and dictionaries, and thus for the entire francophone world, TODAY, there is the island of haiti subdivided into the Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In the 1930s, I beleive, at the urging of the Dominican government, the geographic board that decide on these matters, renamed or named the whole island Hispaniola. In Haiti, this was seen as a victory for Dominican diplomacy. In Haiti, we refer to the country next door as Dominicanie.

I respect Bellegarde's view point when he says and I quote: Bob: First, there was Ayiti, Quisqueya and Bohio. The Haitians took the > first, the Dominican, the second, and thank God, no one took the third!

But who knows, we could have been better off if the third name 'Bohio' was the actual one chosen for our country Haiti.

If we decompose the word 'haitiens,' phonetically we get 'Hai Siens' = qui hait les siens (One who hates his own)

Isn't it quite a reality in our country, where hatred is like a desease acid that corrodes our country, where one hates the other and usually for no particular reason... it's been like this since the beginning...

I believe that a name can have an important impact or influence on: a person, an animal or why not a country. I heard from my grand mother of a girl whose name meant something like veuve = widow. She got married 3 times, and each time she would lose her husband (by death). This might not be related to her name, but who can say that it was not either...

At least, Bohio means soulier = shoe. 'Shoe' is a necessary footwear. So, it's useful. This is much more positive than Haiti which I see as a negative word.

I'd rather say, Why God, Bohio was only the third name. We went for the first, but in fact, we ended up being the last...

I have seen old french maps and they spell haiti: AYTI (without the H) Could anyone comment on the spelling of the ancient name?

This is all nice and everything, but why do all geography/history books insist on referring to the island as HISPANOLA (Little Spain)?

Dominicans will never call the island HAITI (why means High Mountains) beside DR is flat, and made of mostly plains.

QUISQUEYA is what they call it, and I think most haitians would approve the name. So it is not WE who keep getting it wrong, it is THOSE who write the history books who refuse to make the change (I don't think I need to elaborate).

PS: Could someone tell me the origin of the word: AFRICA? Since it is not Haiti related, reply to me directly.

No doubt a TRUJILLO campaign of remaining closely associated with Spain and distanting themselves from Haitians, but what about now? How do dominicans feel about calling the island HISPANOLA, or do they prefer QUISQUEYA?

I have wondered about how the africans of the french period knew so much about the ancient inhabitants. It is said that virtually all of the indians were gone by 1550 or so.

There were not very many slaves imported to the caribean by that time, altho Hugh Thomas (in The Slave Trade) says that africans brought to Santo Domingo encouraged the indians to run away from the spanish settlements. There couldn't have been very many africans there by then tho.

Perhaps early african slaves intermarried with the people of the island? I haven't heard much talk of this.

Haitians do revere the cacique Anacaona. When was she killed? How have these stories become such a part of Haitian mythology?

A recent text which people may find useful in terms of this discussion of names of origins and the mixed heritage (Native, African and European) of the island is Alan Cambeira's __Quisqueya La Bella: The Dominican Republic in Historical and Cultural Perspective__ (M.E. Sharpe, 1997) which discusses both sides of the island in both personal and historical terms...highly readable with many secondary sources cited and listed...A point Alan makes is that it is in fact an error to believe that all Native people were wiped out and that the Native heritage does in fact reveal itself in a number of ways culturally, etc.

From: Madison Bell

I can't make any absolute distinctions of fact and mythology on this subject, but here's a bundle of received ideas.

The priest, Las Casas, was influenced by his fondness for the Taino Indians to promote African slavery in Hispaniola, on the idea that the Africans could support slavery better (!) and that the Taino might thus be saved from extermination. If that much is true (it is, I think) then it follows that there would have been some overlap of African and Taino presence under Spanish rule.

During that period (here the distinction between myth and fact may blur) runaway slaves, i.e. mawon yo, had contact with Taino surviving in the mountains. It certainly is possible, if not provable, that some of the last Taino declined to report for extermination and held out in inaccessible locations for longer than generally recognized. And it is true that maroon communities formed around some of the ancient sacred sites of the Taino, such as the caves of Bahoruco.

The idea of a mingling of African and Taino cultures (and bloodlines) in the mountains is an important component of the whole idea of marronage. In this view, the African maroons grafted themselves onto the last roots of the Taino resistance. The cultural fusion extends to Vodu, which is supposed to have some identifiable Taino components (e.g. the asson). I'm sure anthropologists are to be found on every side of that issue, but I've heard it stated as a fact by some of the most reputable.

If this were in fact the situation, then the Taino bloodline would have gradually submerged itself in the African bloodline to the point of invisibility. You can see the late phase of that process today in Dominica, where there is still a tiny Carib reservation. By my eyeball impression, only the oldest members of that community still retain the physical characteristics of their Indian bloodstock one hundred percent. Younger people have an African strain in their appearance and one assumes that in a few more generations the Indian strain will be invisible there too.

What I think myself is that the Taino element of marronage is true at least to some degree and that Haitians do have something of the original inhabitants in them still, in however small a measure.

Reponse:

I did not think I had to elaborate, but noone so far is raising the issue, so I will. QUISQUEYA, HAYTI and BORINQUEN are all original names. Not nickname or last name. The point is by not giving back the original name to the land diminishes the contribution of these inhabitants to our history I quote: Christophe Colon a decouvert Haiti en 1492 .... Only contributions from the europeans that came are recognized, before then there was nothing just a bunch of savages running loose.

Response:

I did not want to twist the Dominicans hands, but is it fair to say, based on your argument that the name of HAYTI would refer to more than the western 1/3 of the island? So, why don't Dominicans call the island HAYTI or why do they only call QUISQUEYA the eastern 2/3? Why not call the island QUISQEYA na dnot HISPANOLA? Again the first European name is the one that sticks.

I don't this ayi sien thing should be taken seriously. School children plays the same game over and over. At my school we used to say: ayi-chien (hate dog).

Those are school children plays. You are right, those are inconcious word games of a eurocentric education in haiti without taking into consideration the origin of the word.

From: JAupont

Looking at an old Histoire D'Haiti text( a 1942 ed.), it mentions the first Black slaves arriving on the island in 1503. This is approximately a year after Nicolas Ovando arrived as the new governor, replacing Bobadilla. As some will remember, this the same Ovando responsible for the treachous death of the Cacique-queen Anacaona. Ovando tricked her into accepting his coming to Leogane to sign a peace treaty or some sort of an agreement. Anyway, after receiving a nice reception from the queen, Ovando placed his hand on the cross he was wearing, at which time his soldiers took captive the queen, bound the indian chiefs to the supporting columns and torched the whole room. Later, in Santo-Domingo, Anacaona was hung publicly.

It appears that the African slaves and the original Haitians both cohabited the island for at least 40 years. Another supporting evidence for this is the story surrounding the Cacique Henri and his autonomy. The text mentions that the Emperor Charles-Quint, worried, wrote to the Cacique Henri requesting a peace agreement. One of the motivations for such a move on the part of the King is that the island was perceived as still being in danger. One of the dangers mentioned was a slave revolt that had already occurred on the habitation of even the Vice-Roi, Don Diego Colomb. The text doesn't mention the exact date, but I'll venture to say that the first slave revolt probably occurred between 1503 and 1510.

If these events happened within the timeframe given here, it would appear that the slave trade had started early enough to have allowed a considerable number of African slaves to have lived and witnessed many of those events before the eventual and complete decimation of the Haitian Arawaks and Caraibes. I wouldn't be surprised though, if the slaves were dragged to the public hanging of the Queen-Cacique Anacanoa just to instill fear and give them a foretaste of the consequences of disobedience of their Spanish masters.

I am of the opinion that slavery was already instituted on the island long before the dissappearance of the native Arawaks and Caraibes. If that's true then these same slaves were eyewitnesses to many of the events that happened on the island. So, naturally, these stories eventually became the basis of much of the myths and folktales that we find today in Haitian folklore.

Dear all,

This is in response to the erroneous breakdown of the word Haitiens into Hai Siens and the negative association of such breakdown. The Concerned Haitian League, in its concern to educate all (including ourselves), considers it an imperative to point out any attempt to diminish the dignity of our nation.

Ayiti as used by the native inhabitants -- at the time of the arrival of the Europeans -- meant mountainous land. The decision of our forefathers in 1804 to revert to Ayiti from the French name Saint-Domingue signified that we Haitians claimed back the land that was taken from the original inhabitants and on which we were forced to toil. From this accepted origin of the name of Haiti, I do not see how a superposition of a breakdown of Haitiens as Hai Siens could have any linguistic significance and psychological validity.

Yet the breakdown above seems to convey the intention to characterize all Haitians as mean-spirited, hateful beings. Having been a victim of ethnic stereotypes (and having been trained as a linguist), I must stress that such a breakdown is based on completely false premises. I hope this message will limit the potentially-negative consequences of MIS-analyzing Haitiens as Hai Siens.

Morphologically, Haitiens does not break down into Hai Siens. Such attempt shows a lack of understanding of basic linguistic rules. One must not confuse phonetic breakdown of a word -- the way it is actually realized in the spoken language -- and the spelling of that word -- the way it is represented in writing. The Haitiens->Hai Siens breakdown fails to use the spelling, morphological and phonetic rules of French --- the correct morphological analysis is: Haiti-en-s

Furthermore, the different components of your breakdown, Hai and Siens do not have any meaning in Haitian Creole. Worse yet, the proposed translation (One who hates his own) would be rendered in French by Qui hait les siens or Hair les Haitiens, but definitely not Hai(t) Siens -- a textbook on French grammar would be very helpful to elucidate this point.

Finally, as mentioned by more than one on the list, the origin of the root Haiti in Haitiens could not have anything to do with French since it was the word used by native inhabitants of the Island way before the coming of the French.

Let's try to promote tolerance and love of one another and not perpetuate ill-formed negative stereotypes.

PROVERBS FROM EGYPTIAN TEMPLES
1. The kingdom of heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.
2. The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth [is] Nature.
3. For every joy there is a price to be paid.
4. If his heart rules him, his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.
5. What you are doing does not matter so much as what you are learning from doing it. So It is better not to know and to know that one does not know ,than presumptuously to attribute some random meaning to symbols.
6. If you search for the laws of harmony, you will find knowledge.
7. If you are searching for a Nether, observe Nature!
8. Exuberance is a good stimulus towards action, but the inner light grows in silence and concentration.
9. Not the greatest Master can go even one step for his disciple; in himself he must experience each stage of developing consciousness. Therefore he will know nothing for which he is not ripe.
10. The body is the house of God. That is why it is said, "Man know thyself."
11. True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge; it is an awakening of consciousness which goes through successive stages.
12. The man who knows how to lead one of his brothers towards what he has known may one day be saved by that very brother.
13. People bring about their own undoing through their tongues.
14. If one tries to navigate unknown waters one runs the risk of shipwreck. Leave him in error who loves his error.
15. Every man is rich in excuses to safeguard his prejudices, his instincts, and his opinions.
16. To know means to record in one's memory; but to understand means to blend with the thing and to assimilate it oneself.
17. There are two kinds of error: blind credulity and piecemeal criticism.
18. Never believe a word without putting its truth to the test; discernment does not grow in laziness; and this faculty of discernment is indispensable to the Seeker. Sound skepticism is the necessary condition for good discernment; but piecemeal criticism is an error.
19. Love is one thing, knowledge is another.
20. True sages are those who give what they have, without meanness and without secret!
21. An answer brings no illumination unless the question has matured to a point where it gives rise to this answer which thus becomes its fruit.
22. Therefore learn how to put a question.
23. What reveals itself to me ceases to be mysterious for me alone: if I unveil it to anyone else, he hears mere words which betray the living sense: Profanation, but never revelation.
24. The first concerning the 'secrets': all cognition comes from inside; we are therefore initiated only by ourselves, but the Master gives the keys.
25. The second concerning the 'way': the seeker has need of a Master to guide him and lift him up when he falls, to lead him back to the right way when he strays.
26. Understanding develops by degrees.
27. As to deserving, know that the gift of Heaven is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to 'deserve' it.
28. If the Master teaches what is error, the disciple's submission is slavery; if he teaches truth, this submission is ennoblement.
29. There grows no wheat where there is no grain.
30. The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.

42. Envious greed must govern to possess and ambition must possess to govern.

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.
If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must
use the words. "STAY AWAKE PEOPLE!!!!

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see man as trees, walking.
Were is the comparison;
Hosea 14:8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do with idols? I have heard him, and observed him : I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
A fir tree; a crpress tree ; the same tree that they us for Christmas.
What does this kind of tree represent or what kind of poeple does this tree represent. Lets see now; it's stands tall, it's very fertile, and the seeds are many, and dark in color; so when they ceremoniously cut them out of the mother earth, and dressed them up in nice bright, and shinny color's ; what is that all about? Some times I feel like a motherless child! Oh Africa!

Matthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit ; but the corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit.

Rev. 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Proverb 3: 13-35 ; - 3:16 Length of days is in her right hand ; and in her left hand riches and
honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her : and happy is
every one that retaineth her.
That is the Goddess .
Now I see , whenever I read Matthew 26: 1-13 Verily I say unto you,
Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall
also this , that this women has done, be a memorial of her.
Who honors this request of Jesus? A memorial of her, as gospel throughout the whole world
forever.
That is the GODDESS SPIRIT.
