MLK Holiday Education

I found a video on FreeDocumentaries.org on what they say was the worst Race Riots in the USA in 1921 in Tulsa, OK. The title is the Black Wallstreet where blacks had create a very strong, profitable, and lucritive network of business owners. Appearantly the KKK rose up, but I am still watching - Teresa Thomas is the Reporter.

Also I heard that MLK was the most popular speaker in the 20th Century since he was able to attract 50K PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY for a single speach.

Actually now I am pretty sure:

1. That MLK was probably killed by a conspiracy. And I don't feel I know the details of the killing.

2. That JFK was probably killed by a conspiracy. And I don't feel I know the details of the killing.

3. I really don't think with all the spin on news we really know our own history. I know we get propaganda and he who. Controls the narrative controls the Truth and History.

4. This countries Economy depended for periods on stealing land from the native indians and on profits from Slavery.

5. I think the war on Drugs is in effect a war on Black men. I think incarseration of black men ruins these mens lives, keeps them from being able to rent apartments, keeps them from being able to get jobs when the get out of jail, perpetuates their return to prision, and not only marks them for life, but also forces them to have to go to crime to be able to even feed and shelter themselves.

6. The War on Drugs is putting 75-85% of people in jail for nonviolent so called. Consensual crimes in which a person hasn't hurt anyone, but simply was in a Black neiborhood and was caught with drugs or pot.

7. The cost on Taxpayers for each person caught with drugs along with all the DEA programs, and assistance to Foreign Militaries is likley over $1 Trillion Dollars.

Federal Lobbying Creates Recession

We the People Own this country and this Government.

Does it get any clearer? Sure, "Big Business" built the Railroads sparking commerce, industries build new cities, and represent progress. But the people have had to fight for Safety Regulations, Pollution Regulations, the health of ourselves and our kids, and for fair trade to prevent monopolies and price setting that held people back from success. "Big Business" is an entity that grows and competes to succeed big against any and all opposition. We can't allow "Big Business" to persuade our Government and write our laws...and don't even get me started about limits on "Foriegn Lobbying".

Federal Lobbying Creates Recession is my twist on the problem of Middle Class Lobby that doesn't exist for the most part. I know we have lobbies for "Retirees" and "Unions", but big business and the rich just have more resources.
  • Oversight is the management of US Industries by Federal Agencies as part of their mandate.
  • Oversight is completed at various levels of government by collecting data, regulations, and through interface with government through Federal Application Processes.
  • Oversight is performed by Congress, Senate, the Federal Reserve Chairman, SEC, and many others at lower levels of Government including State and County Government.

Obviously with the Corporate Scandals and Lobbying Scandals every couple of years, no one has worked the problem with any sincerity at the Federal Level. But we the people own this country and this Federal Government.

  • When are we going to demand that Government Work for us Middle Class and Poor.
