OH-TAY As discussed in the last meeting, there are some things going forward in the publication (or ebook or what have you), that need not hit the table, because they are irreconcilable and will only divide us at this time. #1. Obama The opinion of Obama literally ranges from Christ to Anti-Christ. To sit around and Discuss Obama in a good or bad light for whatever reason will only kick up red flags. As I have said before, we can address the matrix of white supremacy directly (which is what we need to be doing anyway) without mention of the current president (in a book/e-book that is). #2. Meat Eaters vs Vegetarians This is another one that I see argued to no end. #3. Religion/Religious Texts/Beliefs etc etc.. This issue is the greatest divider of all timez! The second any of these things (like the Bible for example) hit the table, an automatic 15 year argument will immediately ensue. We are no where near coming to a consensus on ANYTHING as it relates to this, so when we come together to get this BEAST up off of our backs, these things have to be put on the back burner. My opinion is that we need to address religion from the perspective of how it divides us, because THIS is truly the area of activity that is being controlled. Whitey sits back and plans the next fake terrorist attack, while Black folk sit around arguing about Hebrews. _____________________________________________________ With all of this being said, it's not that I don't want to address the 3 issues above at all. Just not in the initial publication. We can talk about all of these things in a debate form in our online newsletter. For Example. Maybe every month we can have a section in the newsletter called That's Debatable.(or somethin like that) With the subject being something like, "Did the Egyptians worship many gods, or To eat meat or not to eat meat" People on both sides can put together there short argument and it can be put in the newsletter with a corresponding thread on Destee.com. So everyone who reads the newsletter that is not a destee.com member (if they have an opinion on the subject) can go to destee.com to join and comment and share their opinion. So we can debate all day, yet stay unified towards one common cause. It will also bring in more members. These are just ideas though, that we can talk about. NOW I will wait for some type of feedback on this issues. If someone feels that there are OTHER issues that should not hit the table, ... OR... if you object to any of the current 3 issues that I brought up, please respond and say why?
APOLOGY!! First let me say that I am back up and running. I am still having a problem with hearing things, so I guess I have to buy a new sound card. I will do that probably this coming week. Second, I APLOGIZE perfusely for my abscense. There has been a shake up at my place of employment that prevented me from doing much of what I had planned in my life. It is resolved and I am back on track. I will now be apart of Group Think EVERYDAY. I Thank Clyde with all of my heart for keeping the process moving forward. We do indeed have a window of opportunity to do something special. Clyde has remained diligent and steadfast. These are definate requirements of leadership and it is clear that we have them in Clyde. I will reply to those threads (individually) that I have been asked to and some of which I have not. Give me until the end of the day Saturday and all of them should be addressed. Thanks for keeping hope alive. Asking for Forgiveness A007 a.k.a Andre'
In the Spirit of Sankofa! A007, Thank you so much for such a humble apology. It speaks loudly at the integrity and character you possess. This situation that we are in, concerning your in and out attendance, speaks directly to the significance of the project, and the important obligation it carries. I gave fair warning that neither would it be easy nor would it be without obstacles. Our focus involves making a difference for our people, and certain forces will make that road difficult. So, keeping the forward press, we will get there. We love you Brother, and my Friend, and we are pulling, praying, and patiently waiting for breakthrough...........Peace!
Topic # 1: I like the idea of addressing the corrupt political system in itself, because people tend to get mad when you expose the person who they voted for. I think it's important that we look at the broad area of global politics and how they impact each and everyone of our lives. I remember an obama thread recently, where one member sincerely asked, how certain policies impacted his life directly? I'll add more thoughts later
Interesting. Jahari, thanks and you make a good point. I think I vaguely remember that Obama thread you are talking about, where people were talking about Obama's affiliation with some "shadowy overlord" groups, and a person asked the question of how do these groups really affect our everyday lives anyway. I do think that in the future, whether it is in a newsletter or, whether it is in some published material, we need to break down from TOP (Illuminati) to Bottom (hood), how these NWO groups and what they do affect our people's everyday life locally to globally. We also need to break down how Pseudo-politics (left wing, right wing, conservative, liberal, repub, democ., etc) has a smaller effect. That way we can truly address the illusion of G.W.S. without mentioning any politicians name, because like I have said, that is a touchy subject. So, I'm glad that you brought that point up. We will have to put that on the back burner and keep that in mind to definately address in the future. Right now, the focus is to come to a consensus on the issues that have been brought up in posts #21, Post #25 and Post #26. As we discussed today in our meeting, once we get them settled, we will move really really fast. So, I see that we have 3 in agreement to leaving the Obama issue off the table.
