Bad Elections carry Dire Consequences:
For generations we were conditioned not to Read and Research so we became programmed for Gossip… As a result many like to hear about Obama in the Virgin Islands (UK) or Injustices done to me by the Courts in relation to my Properties and, while these may be important, they pale in comparison to crucial matters affecting all Humanity that must be addressed before it is too late and all is lost.

Selling out & making Deals at the expense of our People:
More and more Persons are talking to me about Politics and asking me not to say the things I do because, although they acknowledge them as truth, they want me to go along with what others are saying so I can be elected… Somehow they totally fail to understand that the only interest I have ever had in Politics was to make things better for those we serve so this Nigger is still not for sale.

Finding yourself:
Over the years I have taught and told you many things but whether you are Black, White, Green or Purple nothing matters unless and until you know yourself… You may swear that you do but evidence shows that you remain consumed by the Self-hatred instilled in you from infancy and we still base our worth and our values on imitating others while ignoring ourselves.

Political Ponzi Schemes & Willing Victims:
Persons shouldn’t act surprised when Preachers, Lawyers and Politicians are featured as the stars of Ponzi Schemes and American Greed because History has always shown Religion as the most wicked, Politicians as the most anti-human and the Courts as the worst dispensers of Justice… While these Systems promise great hope they often deliver the root causes of Society’s problems.

Traditionally, customs of the day result in behaviour patterns which different places & races commonly refer to as ‘their Culture’ - Amusingly, November that commemorates the execution of Guy Fawkes was chosen as BVI’s Culture Month… However, as a displaced People who evolved from Freedom to Slavery to Freedom it may be time to carefully decide our own Culture.
Let not the wicked distort your explaining as complaining…Part 1

Too many are wasted ‘just because’ while too few are saved for a ‘just cause’: Again, I am forever thankful for all your support and words of wisdom even when and if we disagree… However, we should all beware that those who fear knowledge will bring us power will continue to hide truth from the youth and justice from people even as they feed their greed via processes and systems designed by themselves to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Not all Trayvon Martins are dead nor all of Mandela was freed
By Alred C. Frett
Teaching us to hate ourselves:
Recent news has been dominated by the Trayvon Martin murder case and Nelson Mandela’s hospitalization with every news medium and talking head contributing their personal spin and opinion… While each may range from absurdity to validity, the underlying theme has been the ‘Effects and Social Linkage between Injustice and Racism on the Descendants of Slaves’.
