When would we realize that these men are different puppies from the same bitch. Ramesh was the only criminal missing from the Dole Chadee hanging bonanza. Panday rules using derisive race tactics and Jack Warner is an ATM. Wake up my people!

First let me confess, though I secretly prayed for his success, I doubted the possibility that Senator Obama would become the President of the most powerful nation in the world. I looked at America’s history of non-tolerance, it’s propensity for manipulating outcomes and it’s covert methods of fostering racial division. I listened to the media, both sides. I cringed on hearing the venom in Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Curtis Sliwa and “Pastor Manning”. I dissected the now inflamed comments of Reverend Wright. I reminisced of the darkness that enveloped the Caribbean sky on that sad day when John F. Kennedy was murdered. I saw visions of Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, Medgar Evers. One ardent supporter told me ,Obama is God sent. Maybe he is. Then it happened, the greatest upset in the history of the world. Obama is President.
Through the streets of Brooklyn I marvel at the brisk Obama trade, T-shirts, buttons, calendars, even a CD. Now I ask myself, are we as black people aware of what we owe this man who put his life and the safety of his family on the line. Do we owe him? Yes we do! We owe him our unmovable support. He has given our children the proof that they can. We need to highlight him to our young men and women. Our behavior and attitude towards each other need to be “Obamanized”. Yes my people, we need to uplift and help each other. This is what we have been crying for. What are we going to do with it?

The bailout! 700 billion dollars worth.The government has cleared the way to ship out $125 billion this week to the country's largest banks, beginning the biggest government bailout in history.
"The money will go out the door for those institutions early this week," predicts Assistant Treasury Secretary David Nason, one of the chief architects of the rescue plan.
Not only is the money ready to be sent to nine major financial institutions, including Bank of America, Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase, but the government is reaching preliminary agreements with a group of more than a dozen major regional banks, who will share a part of an additional $125 billion the government hopes to pump into banking system. This was recently reported on the Associated Press. What a damn shame! I eagerly await prosecution, after all, I know quite a few people who are doing time for petty crime. And who the hell says crime doesn't pay? Crime does pay but it depends on your political connections. Am I miseducating my children by telling them to speak the truth? Look, the President lies. "All the time".
Continuing with the AP report, "Another $100 billion is earmarked to be spent buying troubled assets from banks such as bad mortgage loans as another way to spur banks to resume lending.
However, a long line of other industries are hoping the government will decide to help them as well. Insurance companies, automakers, hedge funds and foreign-owned banks are all making appeals to be included in the rescue package, contending that they need assistance as well". Notice there is no mention of a bailout for the thousands of families, black, white, yellow, brown, who are losing their homes because of these heartless, suit wearing thugs. One dude received 86 million dollars for a month's work. Whose money is it? That's right, the hardworking disenfranchised citizens of America.

For those of us who live on, yet another day, another struggle, we are blessed. Living on realising how vulnerable and fragile our existence. I've lived far away in another man's country. I've listened with an absence from what I truly love, wishing, fantasizing, remembering our youthful days together. The lodge, the community center, the soccer field, Irie College and of course, the Back. How great were our times. We enjoyed it, I know you did. I still remember that "crisp" black car you owned, Betsy, we called it. Trips to Point, party! I remember your smile my brother. I would not be there for your burial, I prefer it like that. You would never be dead. Just like the others who never died. Tavvy, Rancher, Marchie, Clarie, ButterPaw, Tuna, Mace, Morgue, Copper, BlackJack, Otis, Kyle, Hippie, waiting in that place where we will "lime". I say a temporary farewell my friend. Charles Spartacus Dalmus Romulus Neptune, my brethren. To your children I say live and smile with your father 'cause he is smiling. I love you my brother.

My grandmother, bless her soul, had an old, probably African saying, "when yuh live in concrete house, board house does call yuh". How true! Even happened to me. Amazing how we as humans always seem to find a way to mess up a good thing. My sister Oprah, I must admit didn't surprise me. Somehow I detected a deep unhappiness, a silent displeasure, almost an intellectual animosity towards her past. Though whitewashed with dollars, it lingered just beneath her public display of unshakable self confidence. At times she appeared to relish in her authority to have people clinging to her every word. I have watched her evolve from the poor deeply spiritual black woman to a rich God doubting, blaspheming sybarite. To hear anyone openly challenge the written word of God is unforgivable. I love debates, I believe in freedom of expression, I admire the philomath, but I strongly detest anyone who would stand today and question or should I say enervate the words of the Bible. Oprah's recent actions are nefariuos, fatuous, self- aggrandizing and downright demonic.
This once highly touted, strong, overcoming woman today sits almost in a trance to be manipulated by a man who appears to be from out of space. His alien-like demeanor reminds me of the typical cult leader. I may be wrong but I will not be surprised if he is messing with "new age" medication. It is incomprehensible to me of ordinary understanding what occurred here. Did Oprah forget the God she called to in poverty? Does extreme wealth entitle you to be a debater of the word of God? I call on her to come back. I plead with her to heed this warning, ask God to create in her a right spirit.
My other concern is the children of that school she founded in Africa. Will she be exporting this teaching to the vulnerable minds of these African babies? Remember my readers, Jim Jones, Heaven's Gate. Let's all pray for this sister.

I've been more or less reserved in my view on the fugacious bible thumper out of Harlem. His invidious "gospels" are even more chilling than the worst of the KKK. More disturbing is the reticent young men standing in their pious attire appearing lost in his vociferous bantering. This evil ,venomus attack on a young man, irregardless of color or political ambition portrays an egotistical, vindictive, disturbed, megalomaniac, who revels in his futile preachings. In recent posts I have underlined my distrust of politics, but I believe to stand by and not condemn this "blaster" will send a mixed message to our children. This lummox is doing more harm to the young minds in his congregation than any hiphop video can ever dream to do. Where is our outrage? Are we bounded by a black code of silence? Isn't it enough to be cursed at by white racists? Can anyone imagine what public uproar there would be if a white preacher publicly refer to blacks as honorless or having stinking faces and nappy hair. I am deeply disturbed, matter of fact, I'm pissed. Obama's mother is a woman, yes, God's creation. Had I been Senator Obama and this "blaster" had referred to my mother as trash, I would have slapped the word out of him. I apologize not for my candor. This man is no man of God. He is a hatemonger with an agenda of pandemonium. In my anger I turned to my bible for forgiveness and I found that God spoke of Blaster Manning.
Timothy 3:2.....For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient, unthankful, unholy.
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
Having a form of Godliness, but denying that power.

You know I really hate the fact that I'm being drawn in to the "politricks". I have never been fond of that game of blatant deceit, but I must admit that the ongoings with Senator Obama and Mrs."Pillary" Clinton has me a bit peeved. I feel like I'm looking at Manute Bol and screaming "dunk the ball". Senator Obama, for whatever reason, insists on carrying a nail clipper in a full blown sword fight. What is wrong with him.?Is he scared that the American population is going to be turned off by mudslinging. It is expected that punches will be thrown in a boxing title fight. Just in case your team need some ammo, here are a few shells. Mrs. Clinton was active in the intimidation and harassment of numerous women whose claims of sexual impropriety and assault by her husband she rejected. She denied Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky and numerous others to protect her political ambitions. She castigated mothers, daughters and staff members, even hiring private invetigators to threaten them. What about her real estate dealings? How can you justify not asking these questions if you claim to care about the welfare of the country. I think your evasion of these topics paints a picture of someone who is afraid to take the bull by the horns. How then would you approach the world leaders like Chavez and Ahmadinejad ( excuse me sir if your name is misspelt) if you are scared of Mrs. Clinton? When are you going to ask about their meteoric growth in personal wealth in such a short space of time? When are you going to ask about Mrs. Clinton's upcoming fraud trial? Although I am apathetic about politricks I do enjoy a fair fight. Why are you afraid to go to the basket? Mrs. Clinton and her croonies are remorseless, they display ruthlessness, a much needed quality in our world situation. As president you will be fouled going down the lane. I know that Mrs. Clinton is searching out every video tape ever filmed in your church? Man up!

Dear Sir,
I would like to publicly thank you for your valiant, integrity-filled campaign. I thank you on behalf of all the underpriviledged, lower class people of the world. Through your effort you have created a sense of hope and displayed the rewards of hard work irregardless of race or culture. I thank you on behalf of all the poor citizens of the world, white, black, yellow, brown and even polkadots, if they exist. In my mind you have won the biggest battle of all. You see kind sir I am yet to figure out why anyone will pursue the position of President of the United States. A job that carries a title but very little power. A job that demands you be a face and voice of the big players that lurk in the background. Like I said in a previous post, you need St. Peter as your running mate to be accepted as President. Remember Mr. Obama how the CIA silenced Mr. Ross Perot, how they quieted Mr. Dukakis, how they found Jennifer Flowers, how they how they muddled Gary Hart? These men are all non-blacks. Sir, the President of the USA has to be a team player with big business. This is not in the least bit about color, though it is a convenient help, this is about dollars. I pray that there is no extra-marital relationship out there. If there is , they will find it. They will destroy your family so as to silence you forever. Corporate America does not want to deal with you in another eight years. As for Pastor Wright, his behavior clearly shows to black people that our enemies are not exclusively white. I admire the young and old whites who fervently support you. That is a victory for America. My sincere thanks to them all. Pastor Wright has been manipulated by covert forces so skilled at media manipulation that even he is not aware of their presence. I applaud your message, winning that election, though far-fetched will force you to taint it. Keep it pure. Teach the people. The world needs you.

The economy is bad and the scam artists are wreaking havoc on unsuspecting sometimes desperate homeowners and first time buyers. Mortgage scams are increasing daily and the targets are typically clients with bad credit, those who are over extended, or are in need of financial relief. Federal mortgage fraud convictions have more than doubled in the past year, and the FBI expects a growth in these scams as the crisis over substandard, high-interest home loans escalates. The suspicious activity reported involves deceptive pricing and falsified documentation by mortgage brokers, lenders, appraisers, real estate firms and others. Borrowers that are facing foreclosure and bankruptcy are susceptible because of the eagerness to keep their home, making them prime targets for predatory foreclosure scams.
A most common scam is equity skimming which results in the borrower losing their home and much of their cash. The perpetrator will convince the borrower to sign over the house's deed being led to believe that things will be straightened out. In a later post I will attempt to break down these scams.

I was recently pleasantly surprised to find out that the beautiful young woman I see in my neighborhood almost daily is the songbird I found on youtube. This has to be told. I am an avid music fan. While going through some videos I heard a song called forgiveness, I tried to get as much info on the singer as I could. According to my daughter "She's hot". Being into a lot of all types of music, she really got my attention. This lady can sing. Her soulfulness radiates from her presence. Her vocal tone is unique. Who is she? There is a beautiful little antique store around the corner, I went in on my way from work to assist the owner with a laptop problem. Well, we started talking and somehow the conversation got around to music. Another surprise, the owner showed me one of her music videos......she is a music promoter. She went on to tell me about her musical family and mentioned her daughter. "Wait a minute ", she said, "I'll show you her video". I almost had a cardiac when pulled up "forgiveness". That charismatic, warm, unbelievably talented singer is Martelli. I quickly asked if I can interview this talent. What's even better, I spoke with her about an hour ago. I guess I can now honestly say that I met Martelli. Don't hat......I'm getting my autograph and picture before she blows up. Stay tuned for the interview.

P.S. find her on youtube.
