Surviving a broken Justice System & a doomed NHI

They know the Truth & still they practice Lies:
As we exit the Black History Month and enter a month of Non-productive Holidays the limitations of Black History will never leave as long as we still exist in Mental Colonialism; unwilling to think and reason for ourselves and still believe the Rich and Powerful will create Laws and Conditions to benefit the Weak and Poor or that some great God created by the Masters will rescue us from ourselves.
Was the Bible written for blacks, whites or conservatives?

Good Governance means holding Government & NHI Accountable:
As we approach the end of the 1st month of 2016, NHI Experiment is underway and we all will be able to assess its function and dysfunction for better or worse… I have been ridiculed for not railing against its arrival but I don’t mind because we should all be fair in our judgment and take time to compare and contrast similar situations before jumping to hasty conclusions – I shall take that time.
NHI should never mean ‘No Help Intended’

Is NHI as ready to deliver as the Public is to receive?
This is mid-January 2016 and, while I do not agree with the Minister that time for NHI Debate has passed or that it is going smoothly, I do agree that NHI started as scheduled on January 1, 2016… It arrived with both Promises and Threats and even as most of us retain our opinions regarding the pros and cons, both Consumers and Providers will finally be forced to see whether or not it functions.

Repercussions of the Snap Election:
We should be careful what we pray for because we have all seen Dogs chase Cars without realising what may be in store for them if they ever caught these Cars… For years Governments have been trying to force our People into a flawed National Health Insurance scheme that was designed to pay for Political Mismanagement rather than provide for our People’s Medical Care.
A political promise to talk is no commitment to listen

Even where Blind leads Blind, Folly is no Legacy:
As the New World remains filled with Old Practices, those in Power continue to create Conditions and Laws to have the Less Fortunate destroy each other on their behalf… While some recognise this others refuse to see, so it is refreshing when South Africa’s ANC resolves to leave the International Criminal Court because they see powerful nations use it to "trample" the human rights of weaker ones.

…And the Baggage of Slavery continues to weigh us down:
There is no doubt the global effects of Slavery remain high and Systemic Discrimination and Injustice within most Societies continue to diminish Human Rights while increasing the undue imprisonment of African Descendants… Meanwhile we are trained to downplay these wrongs by telling ourselves that they will pass with time – They never do and our Children are left to carry burdens we create.

Is National Health Insurance really Social Security?

Practice makes perfect even to those skilled in Deceit & Destruction:
If we lose ourselves it’s impossible to lead others – However, as indoctrinated Descendants of Slaves we are conditioned to accept wrong as right and regard ourselves as Lazy & Violent when Historical Facts show Europeans as the ones who stole America from Mexicans & Indians, robbed the Resources of others, enslaved Africans, slaughtered Indians, Muslims, Blacks & Japanese.
