    Forgive

     

    I am filled with peace as I choose to forgive.

     

    There may be times in my life when I feel I have been wronged by family, friends or coworkers. This is a perception I can either hold on to or change. My perceptions can either pull me down or lift me higher. They can either serve me or limit me--the choice is mine.

     

    I choose today to have a positive perception. I choose to focus on the blessings in my life instead of the hurts or anxieties. I choose to adopt an attitude of forgiveness rather than one of resentment. I choose to release the past, forgive and move forward.

     

    As I forgive, I experience the peace and power of God's love at work in me and in my life. Through forgiveness, I am at one with God, and I am at peace.

     

    Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Corinthians 2:10

    "There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance."

    ~Amelia E. Barr

     

    Today's Affirmation

     

    My mind and heart are open and receptive.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear God,

     

    It is easy to see how or where I missed an opportunity.

    A job that was offered and declined or a casual remark that was not recognized for the possibility it contained.

    Perhaps I overlooked a detail or failed to follow up on something I thought was insignificant that turned out to be pivotal.

    Often, I held so tightly to my image of how things "should" be that I missed the wonder that was in front of me.

    If I focus at what I think might have been; I sacrifice here and now.

    So, I release the past and whatever thoughts I hold of missing anything.

    I am in the perfect place at the absolutely perfect time for me.

    I have learned to learn.

    I have learned to be open and receptive.

    I have learned to be watchful; knowing that the flow of divine ideas never stops.

    I have come to believe that You are not finished with me yet.

    I feel Your presence pouring into and through me as I open myself completely and surrender.

    In the sweet communion of silence, I spread my heart and mind like a canvas and wait to see what picture emerges from Your brush strokes.

    I am aware of the masterpiece that You are creating in me now.

    Thank You God.

     

    Amen

    Prosperity

     

    I am blessed by the goodness of God.

     

    Prosperity manifests in my life in myriad ways--not only as money. As I count my blessings, I realize that God's goodness is everywhere. I give thanks for my food, shelter, friends, family and livelihood. I focus on my blessings rather than dwelling on any perception of lack.

     

    The more I look for things to be grateful for, the more blessings I find. By noticing these blessings and giving thanks, I am positive, productive and prepared for good.

     

    The more good I perceive, the more I receive. As I appreciate all of God's blessings and dwell in abundance and contentment, even more goodness comes my way.

     

    I choose to live in God's abundance, accepting all the blessings life has to offer.

     

    I tell you, to all those who have, more will be given.--Luke 19:26

    "The only limits to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."

    ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

     

    Today's Affirmation

     

    My faith flows steady and strong from an internal wellspring of divine origin.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear God,

     

    I know that each day presents new opportunities to be and to believe.

    I eagerly move forward, trusting that everything I require is mine.

    Divine ideas flow into my mind as I open myself to You.

    Divine order is established in all of my affairs.

    As I relax into Your presence, peace is established in my heart.

    I gratefully share all that I have, knowing that You are the One source.

    Your plan for me is perfection.

    May it be for me according to Your will.

     

    Amen

    Art of Giving

     

    I give from the Christ of my Being.

     

    When I think of giving as an art--a creative expression of my Christ Light--I pour more of myself into giving. I tune in to ways I can support others and give meaningful gifts that will delight the receiver.

     

    Divine ideas come to mind as I shift my focus away from "things" to the art of true giving. As I write a letter to a friend with whom I've lost contact or give an encouraging smile to a struggling stranger, I know that just what is needed is mine to give. I am inspired to give more as new creative expressions of giving come to mind. Knowing that the circle of giving is also receiving, I am grateful for all that I give and all that I receive.

     

    Your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing.–2 Thessalonians 1:3

    “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”

    ~Norman Vincent Peale

    Today's Affirmation

     

    I call the shots in my consciousness!

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear God,

     

    You have instilled within me the power to create my world.

    I do not let false beliefs guide my perception of reality.

    Opinions of others pass by me freely.

    I allow the silent power within me to build my consciousness.

    Thank You, God!

     

    Amen

    Joy

     

    Divine power fills me with joy today.

     

    Like waves in the ocean or birds in the sky, I am uplifted by divine power expressing through me. As I pray and go about my activities, God is the power that fills me with joy. Just as energy moves the waves and wind lifts the birds, this joy radiates throughout my being, filling me with energy and enthusiasm for life.

     

    I find joy in simple things like spending time with a friend or enjoying the beauty of nature. I am aware of the simple, joy-filled moments and collect them as treasures. Joy shapes my thoughts and flows out into my conversations and actions.

     

    I experience joy as the truth of my being and the divine energy in my life.

     

    "For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy."--Psalm 63:7

    Saturday, October 31, 2009 - Halloween

     

    Today's Affirmation

     

    I am immersed in and filled with an awareness of Your presence expressing as my life.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear Mother/Father/God,

     

    This week is an interesting collection of days that we have labeled Holy: Celtic New Year, Halloween, Samhain, All Saints and All Souls. An interesting blend of celebrations from the ancient religions and Christianity mixed with more than a bit of modern marketing. My intention is to reflect on the core meaning of this sacred time of year;

    a time of reflection and anticipation, a time between seasons. I allow my mind to wander though my memories of those people who have been a part of my past.

    Friends and family members, lovers and leaders, co-workers and teachers, everyday folk, and spiritual giants.

    Some are gone from this realm of existence, others just gone from my sight. I bless and thank them all.

    I am grateful for the people whose ideas and presence have helped me find my way. So many decisions, events, people, places, jobs, loves, heartaches, seeming errors and triumphs have brought me to this moment; to this particular expression of eternal unfoldment. Now, I consciously rekindle my internal awareness of the One Life with and in me. I know that everyday is Holy if I live it wholly.

    Blessed be the Life we share.

    Amen

    Prepared

     

    Through Christ in me, I live a meaningful and fulfilled life.

     

    The Christ, the divine essence within me, is my guide to spiritual living. A beloved Unity teacher wrote, "To follow the Christ is to follow the divine leadings from within, the promptings of Spirit that come to us when we pray, the divine instincts of love and compassion and understanding."

     

    Whether in an established time of prayer or a moment's sigh of release, I am lifted into the light of divine potential where I receive guidance and inspiration. I consciously connect with the Christ and prepare to meet my good, to succeed and to prosper in my endeavors. Knowing Christ in me as my hope of glory, I live a meaningful and fulfilled life.

     

    "To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."--Colossians 1:27

    Thursday, October 15, 2009 - Doorways

     

    "All the doors that lead inward to the sacred peace of the Most High

     

    are doors outwards--out of self, out of smallness, out of wrong."

    ~George MacDonald

     

    Today's Affirmation

     

    Love is the key to the door of life.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Loving God,

     

    I sense that Your ways are simple, but not necessarily easy.

    I am learning that Your ways are in a different direction than my way.

    For too long I have been holding onto meaningless images of:

    ~ My life,

    ~ My love,

    ~ My happiness,

    ~ My pain,

    ~ My career,

    ~ My things,

    ~ My spiritual journey,

    ~ My self.

    I place my half thought out ideas and imperfections,

    my hopes and my dreams in Your hands.

    Lift me to a higher place.

    Fill me with Your truth and teach me to follow You.

    I am willing to be as You would have me be.

    Thank You, God.

     

    Amen

    Yes or No

     

    I say "Yes!" to life.

     

    Feelings of indecision or uncertainty may have stopped me in my tracks in the past. Now I see such times as opportunities to draw from inner resources to make the decisions that are right for me.

     

    Setting an intention to open my mind to the gentle nudges of Spirit, I pause for a quiet moment of prayer. Through communion with God, I receive the guidance to say yes or no to the opportunities that come my way.

     

    At times I will confidently say "yes!" to a richer, fuller experience of life. In other situations, I will confidently say "no" to circumstances that do not lead to my highest good.

     

    With God's constant guidance, I am filled with assurance that whether my word is yes or no, I am taking the right action.

     

    "Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No.'"--Matthew 5:37

    Saturday, October 10, 2009 – Receptive

     

    "For while it is true that we are immersed in an Infinite Intelligence, a Mind that knows all things, it is also true that this Intelligence can acquaint us with Its ideas only as we are able and willing to receive them. The Divine Mind is Infinite. It contains all knowledge and wisdom, but, before It can reveal Its secrets, It must have an outlet. This outlet we shall be compelled to supply through our own receptive mentalities."

    ~Ernest Holmes

     

     Today's Affirmation

     

    I am willing and receptive to the ideas that God reveals to me.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear God,

     

    You are the source of wisdom, the endless pool from which ideas flow.

    In stillness, I turn my attention to You.

    I take time to be in relationship with You.

    I am amazed and grateful at the wondrous ways that You are at work in my life.

    Everything I need is available from Your infinite storehouse.

    I am receptive, open, willing and waiting - speak to me Lord I am listening.

    So it is.

    Amen

    Prayer

     

    As I turn my thoughts to God, my life becomes a prayer.

     

    I do not need to go away to a mountaintop or seclude myself in a sacred place to spend time in prayer. I need only to turn my thoughts inward and open my mind and heart to God. In this way, I make whatever I am doing a prayer.

     

    As I prepare a meal, I am grateful for the food, and as I clean my house, I am grateful for the restful haven it provides me. As I walk in the park, I feel a sense of oneness with all life in the world around me. As I go through my workday, I am God's instrument of good in the world, and what I do and say is an expression of God.

     

    The more I turn my thoughts to God, the more my life becomes a prayer.

     

    "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."--1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

    door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal."

    ~Helen Keller

     

     Today's Affirmation

     

    I am empowered by the Spirit of God.

     

    Today's Meditation

     

    Dear God,

     

    Within each of us is a power greater than the tasks that lie before us.

    Our awareness of Your presence expands now as we take notice.

    In meditation, we turn within and fix our inner eyes on You.

    All of the wisdom, ideas, strength and courage that we need today flows easily into our awareness.

    A deep sense of calm and peace fills us and moves out through our words,

    actions and attitudes.

    Thank You, God.

    Thank You, God.

    Thank You, God!

    Amen

    Today's Daily Word - Thursday, October 1, 2009

     

    Discover

     

    I discover and express more of my divine potential each day.

     

    My life is an adventure that both challenges and thrills me. Each new experience allows me to express more of my strengths and talents.

     

    At times, however, my human capabilities may seem insufficient to the task at hand. I know that to reach my goal, I must discover and use more of my divine potential.

     

    In sacred communion with God, I release any sense of limitation and open myself to divine direction. I see new areas of possibility--new capabilities to be explored. I am guided to the right course of action.

     

    Filled with a new understanding of my divine nature, I have the tools I need to experience abundance, joy, health and peace.

     

    "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you."--Matthew 7:7

    This Moment

     

    I express wholeness and peace here and now.

     

    My past and future enhance my experience of the world, but it is only in the present moment that I cocreate my life. And, in this present moment, I find God.

     

    Behind me are "the things I cannot change," which a familiar prayer reminds me to accept. I accept them, and I learn from them. Ahead of me lie infinite possibilities and ideas waiting to be accessed through prayer, affirmation and action.

     

    But in this present moment, I experience the fullness of God. I affirm only good, knowing that all good things are available to me.

     

    I thank God for this moment and for the wholeness and peace here and now.

     

    "A pleasant vineyard, sing about it! I, the Lord, am its keeper; every moment I water it."--Isaiah 27:2-3

    Guidance

     

    Divine guidance moves me to new heights of wisdom and success.

     

    When I seek direction for right thinking or right action, I rely on Spirit to show me the way. In prayer, I affirm guidance. I prepare to receive it by gently sweeping away any fear or doubt. I then imagine light streaming into my mind, illuminating my thoughts, sparking ideas and inspiring me to action.

     

    My guidance comes in various ways: an understanding nudge, an inspired idea, a surprise encounter or a powerful inner knowing. Along with the awareness of what to do comes the ability to do it. I take each step with confidence, knowing divine guidance leads me to new heights of wisdom and success.

• Black people are being attacke

  • From: thanubian
  • Description:

    The power of misinformation is profound.

    (A Message to all Black people]

     

             There exist a type of deplored warfare that is commonly used by governments against the masses and targeted groups. It is a covert method that prevails from a psychological perspective using manipulative misinformation. Manipulative misinformation is so profound that it may cause an individual to take his own life.  Lets us, for example, imagine that a man was being held prisoner within a small room. And that he was forewarned that highly dangerous poisonous gas would be pumped into the room. Even if this gas was replaced by a few harmless puffs of baby powder, the man being totally convinced and expecting the lethal gas would response accordingly to that expectation. He would panic causing his heart rate to race out of control perhaps causing a fatal heart-attack. He might also break his hands or rip his nails off as he struck them against the solid wall trying to escape. The terrified man may also resort to holding his breath-- to prevent from inhaling the gas he believes to be poisonous-- causing himself to pass out, thus falling to floor hitting his head and dying. In this scenario the man is killed by manipulative misinformation and it is a very plausible example.  The power of manipulative misinformation is so immensely profound that it can deeply crush one’s spirit a thousand times over in but an instant. It only requires the proper circumstances and setting.

             Such circumstances and setting exists within the corporate owned and governmentally controlled media. The media’s ability to manipulate the masses is incredible.  A few news reports about a swine flu out break can convince millions of people not to attend work tomorrow and pull their children out of schools even if there was in fact no swine flu at all.  The media’s immense ability to manipulate the masses should never be under estimated nor is it ever overstated. In fact the media’s ability to manipulate is so powerfully effective that it can even convince a loving mother to kill her only child.

     

               The effectiveness of the media’s ability to profoundly influence and a control mass population was made obvious as a result of one of the most infamous mistakes in history. It happened on Oct. 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a popular radio program that featured a plays directed by, and starring, Orson Welles. The performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, about a Martian invasion of the earth. But in adapting the book for a radio play, Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that, presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect.  News of the panic was conveyed as a via genuine news report. As the audience listened to this simulation of news broadcast, created with voice acting and sound effects, a portion of the audience concluded that it was hearing an actual news account of an invasion from Mars. This quickly generated immense scare. People packed the roads, hid in cellars, loaded guns, fought among themselves, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually belonged in a radio play. These people listening to the false broadcast were taken in by the totally false accounts and became confused, disarray and distrusting of their neighbors even resulting in immense violence.  This example proves more potently than any argument, Dr. Edward Bernays claims of the enormous effectiveness of the media at affecting masses of people.

    Most people are unaware of the profound power of misinformation when it is systematically deployed as a psychological weapon against an individual or group. However the white elites are well aware of its immense power. They have researched it thoroughly and have used it repetitively -as a sort of psychosocial weapon-- against individuals and targeted groups. According to researcher Mack White, Psychologist Dr. Hadley Cantril conducted a study of the effects of the broadcast and published his findings in a book, The Invasion from Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic, (1939). This study explored the power of broadcast media, particularly as it relates to the suggestibility of human beings under the influence of fear. Dr. Cantril was affiliated with Princeton University's Radio Research Project, which was funded in 1937 by the Rockefeller Foundation. Also affiliated with the Project was Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member and Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) executive Frank Stanton, whose network had broadcast the program. Stanton would later go on to head the news division of CBS, and in time would become president of the network, as well as chairman of the board of the RAND Corporation, the influential think tank which has done groundbreaking research on, among other things, mass brainwashing.

    Two years later, with Rockefeller Foundation money, Cantril established the Office of Public Opinion Research (OPOR), also at Princeton. Among the studies conducted by the OPOR was an analysis of the effectiveness of "psycho-political operations" (propaganda, in plain English) of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Then, during World War II, Cantril and Rockefeller money assisted CFR member and CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow in setting up the Princeton Listening Center, the purpose of which was to study Nazi radio propaganda with the object of applying Nazi techniques to OSS propaganda. Out of this project came a new government agency, the Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service (FBIS). The FBIS eventually became the United States Information Agency (USIA), which is the propaganda arm of the National Security Council. Thus, by the end of the 1940s, the basic research had been done and the propaganda apparatus of the national security state had been fully established.

    Over time the techniques continued to increase in their sophistication.  Since the 1950's, U.S. experimental psychologists and Cognitive scientists have developed ideas about the unconscious mental process that proposes that most of our mental processes happen outside of our awareness suggesting that the ability to control the behavior of people around us subconsciously is now a distinct possibility. Moreover, over the past five decades, human sociobiology has transformed into an evolutionary psychology that has gained science the means and ability to control and, therefore, predict the actions and feelings of individuals or groups merely by the messages conveyed against them. According to this controversial use of psychology, the human mind is the most extraordinary part of the human body, and there seems to be little doubt, wrote biologist David Barash, "that the unconscious is real and that in certain obscure ways the forces of culture are all-powerful in shaping human behavior.
      People’s definition of themselves, their definition of other people and the definition of values by which people operate and act towards other are greatly influenced by the media. Perception created by the media leads to non-deliberate thoughtful decision-making or decision below the level of consciousness. It has been called “thinking without thinking”, and it ultimately leads to unconscious similar behaviors.

           The U.S. Government has longed used the media’s mass manipulation abilities to steer society towards its objectives. These media manipulation practices are used to promote certain political policies, ideologies and governmental objectives. It also used to intrinsically define targeted groups and or populations. --- Intrinsically, definition; particularly definitions that are developed to harm other people have been described as “radical simplifiers” that position for marginalization or for destruction, those they defined---. It can either involve outright lies, or a distortion of the truth. This latter example is precisely what is being done to African Americans as a means of meeting the U.S. government’s unrelenting objective of maintaining its white racial dominance and control. The U.S. government now secretly uses this same proven method of media manipulation against its Black population through a media deployed psychosocial program of where in which African Americans are perpetually misled and manipulated by way of fraudulent negative media reports and false statistics that are designed to corrupt their sense of unity and lesson pressure for social change in their behalf thus facilitating a national consensual setting for their exploitation and suppression.  It is an insidious yet very sophisticated system of control that creates deplorable false misinformation and media reports about its Black population.

     

    Most African Americans are totally unaware of this method of emitting white racism; therefore many will find it too shocking to contemplate.      Unlike the blatantly overt system of racism used in the past that resulted in African Americans unifying themselves against it, this modern system of racism is not easily recognized or comprehended by its Black victims.  Nevertheless, it is directly intertwined with the extensive challenges negatively impacting Black America today.  It is so well disguised that although many of its Black victims may instinctively feel that there is something wrong, they are however unable to sufficiently conceptualize it so that they can unify and defend themselves against it.  It is so sophisticated that even the very brightest of African Americans may have little, if any hope of extricating themselves from its detrimental effects. 

     

    It is a psychosocial program of where in which African Americans are denigrated within every aspect of American society through reports about their educational failures, crime statistics, and national health statistics.  In fact based upon the U.S. Government’s national health statistics and reports concerning the health of Black America, it appears as if the bodies of Black people are literally genetically and physically inferior to the bodies of Whites.  However, when examined outside of governmental discretion and control, we see, to the contrary, that Blacks are often America’s greatest athletes.  In other words, it is only when statistics are totally in the hands of the White government that the bodies of Blacks appear physically inferior to Whites.  Clearly there is a psychosocial manipulative conditioning programs being applied against African Americans. We can no longer ignore the obvious indications that the U.S. government is using its proven method of mass psychological manipulation against us African American. The mounting evidence is too great to be purely coincidental for us not to connect the dots -- it is in fact an exact match.  The routine subjugation of African Americans could not occur so effortlessly without psychological warfare.  It is too prevalent to be merely dismissed as an oversight or as being the work of a few local governments.  It is being deliberately instituted at the national level.  Given the preponderance of noted evidence and facts clearly then connecting these dots should be made rather easy. African Americans are being deliberately psychologically mortified by a governmentally media deployed mass manipulation program. This method of deploying white racism is so thorough and proficient that many African Americans will disregard any disclosure of its existence as mere nonsense and preposterously inconceivable. In fact, this form of racism is so proficient at damaging Black self-perception that tragically it has become easier for many Blacks to accept that the  problems lies with themselves rather than being a modernized system of institutionalized racism implemented by the ruling white governmental elites.

     

    The media is corporate owned and government controlled.  How else is it possible that these so-called independent newspapers and independent television channels remain so succinctly synchronized in their news presentations each and every day?  Clearly the free press in America is a myth, for no matter what happens in the world, and no matter what channel you turn to, you hear the identical news reports from network to network -- only the faces reading the reports changes. This is far too much of a coincidence given that the media have separate journalists.  Much of the news comes from syndicated news sources and these accounts for the overlapping identical news report and explains how is it that the national media may be used to controllably influence, and therefore socially engineer society. These factors combined with the fact that the media’s fraudulently inaccurate deplorable depiction of African Americans and its produce outcome of causing internalized turmoil and disunity among their group are totally consistent with those applied psychological mind-conditioning programs and systems developed by the federal government makes this conclusion inevitable.

     

    White people do not have to be smarter than Black people to maintain their dominance they merely just have to convince Black people that they’re smarter and this system provides that for them. In that it mortifyingly conditions Blacks to not only accept, but to also prefer white institutions and dominance over their lives.

• Critically think Black people

  • From: thanubian
  • Description:

    How is it that today so many African Americans, perhaps more now than ever before in history, so favorably and adamantly refer to themselves by the derogatory "N" word?   How is it that a word that we as a people once fought so adamantly against is now seen as a favorable term of endearment and empowerment among so many of us?   Why are so many of our male youths now admiring the deplorable behaviors of thugery and pimping?  Moreover, how have Black unity, racial pride, and educational aspiration, once hallmarks of Black identity -especially as so overtly demonstrated during the 1960's- so dramatically declined?  How and when did we African Americans become living contradictions of our former selves?  Do we continue to accept the easy and convenient answer that we as a people merely “just changed” – therefore our admirable cultural traits all merely disintegrated-- when integration and other subsequent opportunities became available?  Are we really to believe that the white race’s unmatched proclivity for racism magically disappeared and that it is only we that are now our own worst enemy? (Our thoughts of contempt has now been turned psychologically inward; it is a common combat strategy to turn a people against themselves)

     Within this same breath the question should also be asked of how and when did the white race become the litmus test and standard for all humanity despite their brutally racist history to the contrary of where of which all other races has been either their enemies or their victims?

    Many people of African descent-- those possessing the mental fortitude to remain psychologically awaken within a white dominated world that wants them asleep-- have pondered upon these very same profound questions their entire lives. They know that there is something going on. Many often can not fully explain it, but have felt it their entire lives like a splinter in their minds that something is terrible wrong.  Rather than partaking within the pathological struggle created by these profound questions this literature will instead reveal the long awaited answer.  It is a terrible truth that many Black people have intuitively always known was happening.

    These profound questions regarding the present state [and apparent mind set] of Black America is not void of a rational and intelligent explanation.  The present state of Black America [as with Blacks else where within a white governed society i.e. the U.K, Canada, etc...] is the result of a governmentally deplored modern method of control.  Although today most African Americans do not experience racism the way their parents experienced it, they do, however, still experience White racism.  White America's practices of economically exploiting and suppressing its Black population were never actually abandoned, but instead sophisticatedly reincarnated. White America's methods of institutional racism has been secretly modified into a more contemporary and stealthy design.

    As a means of  maintaining its white dominance and control over its Black population, the U.S. Government now secretly deliberately disseminates false deplorably racially devaluing statistics and propaganda about its Black population that are deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population-- corrupting African Americans sense of unity, cohesion, and reason -- and facilitates a consensual national environment  of where in which its Black population is more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed.  When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are Bernays well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles.

    This modern system prevails by using misinformation as a tool to spread false beliefs and fears to influence the masses to ensure that its white dominance and control is maintained. The usage of information is rarely considered when discussing method of emitting white racism; however information is the single most important thing that moves the global economy, influences political regimes, and constructs human behavior. Information management, social engineering, and traffic shaping are the evil crafts of the digital age.  Information is the single most important thing that moves the world economy, influences political regimes, constructs human behavior and, when put together, defines meaningful thoughts. It is a tool of our trade and a powerful ally, but it can also be used as a weapon of mass destruction.

     The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with is a very carefully and deliberately designed mass media social manipulation program that subjects African Americans--through a white controlled media --to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need whites to govern over their lives.  It totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. Moreover, it corrupts African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites

     

     Unlike the blatantly overt system of racism used in the past that resulted in African Americans unifying themselves against it, this modern system of racism is not easily recognized or comprehended by its Black victims.   It is so subtle, pervasive, well-organized, complete, and proficient and yet most African Americans are totally unaware of this method of emitting white racism. In fact most African Americans will find it too shocking to contemplate. 

    Nevertheless, it is directly intertwined with the extensive challenges negatively impacting Black America today. It is so well disguised that although many of its Black victims may instinctively feel that there is something wrong, they are however unable to sufficiently conceptualize it so that they can unify and defend themselves against it.  It is so sophisticated that even the very brightest of African Americans may have little, if any hope of extricating themselves from its detrimental effects. 

     Unfortunately for Black America, this modern racist system will not be discontinued by the white elites because of the historic and unprecedented presidency of Barrack Obama alone.  America’s true rulers, the white elites that maintain their powers and status regardless of who is president, merely intends to use this presidency as a global marketing campaign as a means for restoring America's eroded global image and standing in the world.  They will also use it to solidifying their positions of white dominance and control by perpetuating the false hood that America has truly become a fair and equal society thus making all minorities cries for true equality even lesser heard.  

     Unless the masses of Black people are made aware of this modern racist system and unify themselves against it, the white elites will continue to use it against us --even with one Black president.   

    From the perspective of the white elites this action against its Black population is deemed necessary as a means of preserving its White dominance and control. If the U.S. government did not treat its Black population in a manner which promoted maintaining its White dominance and control, it would be diametrically opposed to itself--its white preservation and dominance.  This hidden scenario has always necessitated the U.S. Government to secretly use every conceivable means and opportunity to suppress the advancement and growth of its Black population; even those suppressive methods that contradict its own stated moral and ethical values. [This statement is affirmed by  evidential facts of history’s  Jim crow laws; Tuskegee experiments, Federally funded eugenics program targeting Black birth rates; CIA’s involvement  in  disseminating drugs and high powered weapon into Blacks communities ; Federal enhance sentencing laws that targets Black populations; FBI COINTEL programs that negatively targeted  Black enhancement programs and groups.]

     

    Through this sophisticated media deployed psychosocial program African Americans are perpetually misled and manipulated by way of fraudulent negative media reports and false statistics that are designed to corrupt their sense of unity

    This psychological manipulation program works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipient group in terms of their behavior. To the detriment of many African Americans, it has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. It is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess.

     

    IT ALSO ENGINEERS CONSENT FOR THE MISTREATMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE

    . Not only does this massive governmental psychological manipulation campaign negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, it also lesson pressure for social change in their behalf thus facilitating a national consensual setting for their easier exploitation and suppression. This media driven psychosocial program  conveniently provides a more socially acceptable and covert means of ensures that the masses of African Americans remains the most racially devalued and most economical exploited and suppressed group in America. 

    The media’s constantly depicted deplorable imagery of Black Americans creates a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore engendering increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified.  When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified. This method of control and suppression is based upon the methods of propaganda techniques of renowned psychologist and United States propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays. This is what mass manipulation propaganda specialist Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “engineering consent”. 

    The effects of this social program are also manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance.  Through the usage of mass psychological manipulation White America’s methods of institutionalized racism has been secretly modified into a more sophisticated and stealthy design. Unfortunately to the detriment of many African Americans this modern system of deploying white racism has been very proficient.  Some studies have shown that this social program has engendered increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.

    This is not an attempt to shirk our own personal responsibilities as Black people but is instead a truth that needs to be recognized and address if Black people are to be apart of the future. This present stated of Black America is the results of this detrimental social engineering program.

    Because this literature exposes the profound dimensions of hidden, conspiratorial racism that secretly still exists at governmental levels in the United States, these are therefore very dangerous areas that the author is exploring.  For if this disclosure was to become better known among African Americans, the U.S. Government would most certainly initiate a national campaign of spin control and coverage through the national media and the Internet with experts lined up to dispute its premise.  The reason of why is because this article offers the truth for those who will listen for it.  The many problems now facing Black America will not be corrected by implementing outdated strategies of foot marches, speeches, or the commemoration of fallen Black martyrs.  We can also no longer survive as a race addressing this modern system of racism using nineteen century strategies.  Nor will these problems be corrected by the preaching of scriptures from any of our religious texts but instead only by exposing and addressing this modern covert system of control that I refer to as the “Black Matrix”. It is the fiercest and most lethal system of institutionalized racism now facing Black America.  A reality of truth must prevail if we Black people are to be a part of the future. We can no longer survive as a race hanging on to given white misinformation used to confuse, divide, exploit and ultimately suppress us as a means of maintaining their white dominance. 

    We Africans and African descendants throughout the world must educate our selves about what is really going on. This understanding is in fact extremely imperative if Black people are to be a part of the future. In order for Black people to acquire real positive change within the entire global community it is imperative that we understand how white racism has sophisticatedly evolved and then confront it unrelentingly.

    The Black Matrix is very real. To see how deep that the rabbit hole really goes visit www.divineblacktruth.org and order your copy of the book The Black Matrix: The modern mental and social suppression of African Americans Under national interest. 2006, 2008.

    The Secret Governmental War on Black America THE BLACK MATRIX: The Modern Mental and Social Suppression of African American Under National Interest © 2006, 2008 by Franklin G. Jones                                        The present despairing state of Black America is neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency among Blacks, but rather instead the result of the White elite’s innate proclivity for always reinventing devious methods of  suppressing its Black population-- as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control. The architect of the modern method of suppression now used against Black America was the late Dr. Edward Bernays.   “If we understand the mechanism and motives of a group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it"         -- Dr. Edward Bernays      Dr. Edward Bernay’s was a nephew of Sigmund Freud and one of the most skillful experts in mass manipulation.  He invented the modern day Madison Avenue advertising Agencies by using his Uncle Sigmund's knowledge of the human psyche to make people feel they needed whatever product was being advertised. Edward Bernays also invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. Bernays was one of the main architects of the modern techniques of mass-consumer persuasion. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires. His most notorious feat was breaking the taboo on women smoking by persuading them that cigarettes were a symbol of independence and freedom.   You've Come a Long Way Baby!    Bernays was convinced that this mass method of manipulation was more than just a way of selling consumer goods. For him it was a new political idea of how to control the masses. By satisfying the inner irrational desires that his uncle, Sigmund Freud, had identified, people could be made happy, docile, angry, self hating or even confused.   During World War I, Bernays and journalist Walter Lippman were hired by then United States President, Woodrow Wilson, to participate in the Creel Commission, the mission of which was to sway popular opinion in favor of entering the war, on the side of Britain. The war propaganda campaign of Bernays and Lippman produced such an intense anti-German hysteria as to permanently impress America’s governmental elites with the potential of large-scale propaganda to control public opinion. Edward Bernays advised US presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Eisenhower and served numerous corporations and business associations. This was the start of the mass media and governmental psychological manipulation programs which has come to covertly dominate today's world. One of Bernays biggest fans was Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, a fact about which Bernays bragged proudly.  A common pattern used repeatedly by Bernays was to turn a harmless entity into a fearsome enemy through lies and manufactured news items. Then use the "threat" to justify attacking the entity. Edward Bernays coined the terms "group mind" and "engineering consent", important concepts in practical propaganda work. Bernays said in his 1928 book Propaganda, that; "The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. He further states that; “If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it” The current public relations industry is a direct outgrowth of Bernays' work and his method of mass psychological manipulation is also still currently used by the United States government.   The U.S. Government has an extensive history of conducting planned campaigns of extensive strategic psychological operations [based upon the works of Bernays] through the national media to influence and direct the perception and climate of the nation towards its governmental objectives. Given that the nineteen sixties were a period of massive black rebellion and unrest that eroded the American global image and increasingly placed the nation’s peace and stability in dire jeopardy and perhaps most particularly because the nations top sociologist and psychologist knew that those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. This quite logically necessitated that the U.S. Government employ these same proven methods of mass psychological manipulation against its entire African American population.       Today as a means of maintaining its white dominance and control the U.S. government now manipulates, and shapes the minds and collective consciousness of its Black population through the usage of misinformation disseminated through the mass media. The U.S. Government now secretly deliberately disseminates false deplorably racially devaluing statistics and propaganda about its Black population that are deliberately designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of its African American population-- corrupting African Americans sense of unity, cohesion, and reason-- and fostering a consensual national environment  of where in which its Black population is more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed.       When most people hear the term of psychological manipulation they usually think in terms of the classic "conspiracy theory" that refers to overt mind control such as mind altering drugs with carefully hypnotic programming. However, the real and true dangers are Bernays well proven methods of affecting the unconscious mind by using deception, and psychological manipulation. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles.  The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with, through a white controlled media, is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to corrupt African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. And while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites.   This method of psychological manipulation works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. It uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipient group in terms of their behavior. Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans.  Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny.  With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own ship even if their own ship was in fact better. The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the mind through deception. Within a real life setting this mortifying psychosocial treatment is precisely what is being deliberately done to African Americans through corporate owned and governmentally controlled media outlets that deliberately subjected them to seeing only the fraudulently worst in themselves. This is done through an immense campaign of false derogatory misinformation and false negative media reports and statistics that are created by U.S. governmental agencies and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own. These false information about African Americans are then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages detrimentally affects the Black population at large. The overrepresentation of Black crimes and grossly exaggerated statistics of Black on Black violence within this psychosocial program are intentionally designed to create fear, hatred, and distrust thus molding the character of disunity and self-hatred among the Black community.  [Black’s own personal negative experiences and interactions with their fellow Blacks then merely confirm the program’s perpetuated message that it is they that are their own worst enemies]. The ultimately goal of this governmental psychosocial treatment of African Americans is to destroy the Black unity and cohesion that was historically the cornerstone of civil rights gains and that was a crucial factor of the survival of African Americans through more than four hundred years of racial oppression. [Logic dictates that given that unity and cohesion among African Americans was responsible for the demise of White America’s past system of blatant, institutionalized racism, then destroying this unity would be an essential objective of this psychological manipulation program.]   All African Americans have experienced the burden of this system of applied psychological conditioning, some more severely than others have.  It is experienced every time we [Blacks] read a newspaper, watch the evening news, listen to a radio report, enter a classroom and read its racially biased textbooks.  To the detriment of many African Americans, it has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility. It is at the root of both the profound division and self hatred now afflicting so many Black Americans and is at the heart of internalized feelings of superiority that many whites possess. And while many African Americans have successfully navigated through this psychologically mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, for far too many this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won. This in turn manifests negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. In fact, this governmental mortifying psychosocial treatment of African Americans may be the most aggravating, if not core, factor of the national phenomenon of self hatred; loss of educational aspirations; loss of unity, cohesion and racial pride; and fragile psyches of many African Americans today. It is in fact so fundamentally detrimental to the Black human condition and psyche that it may even affect the extent to which many African Americans realize their full human potential. This type of psychological manipulation program has also been proven very effective in rapidly destroying a group’s ethical and moral values and engendering negative cultural norms with regard to violence, brutality, and even murder. All people, to some degree, are products of cultural conditions and their worldviews operate outside of their level of consciousness. Therefore, no group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact.  Not only does this massive governmental psychological manipulation campaign negatively impacts Blacks self perceptions, but it also provides a more socially acceptable way to assure that the masses of African Americans remains the most racially devalued and most economical exploited and suppressed group in America.         The media’s constant, fraudulently inaccurate, negative imagery of Black Americans is designed also to create a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone, thus engendering increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf, and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today.  Its propaganda and manipulations practices are being deployed in all sectors - government, media, health and welfare, entertainment, and education, etc- nationally and internationally.   Therefore fostering a national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately consensually suppressed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.  This campaign also attempts to discourage miscegenation between Blacks and whites, and creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has subconsciously become that it’s all now justified.  When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified.  This is what Dr. Edward Bernays referred to as “engineering consent”.   This governmental psychological conditioning program stripped African Americans of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960's civil rights struggles. It also today affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity.               Many researchers have concluded that this insidious racist propaganda manipulations program was originally orchestrated by London's Tavistock Institute of Human relations. Although it had existed for decades earlier, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations was formally established as an independent not-for-profit charity organization in September 1947.  Headquartered in London, the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations is a leading organization in the use of new and experimental behavioral science programs. The Tavistock Institute is an independent organization that conducts research in the social and behavioral sciences, applied in the field of health, education and community development. The Tavistock Institute's research orientation places it between, but not in, the worlds of academia and consultancy; and its range of disciplines include anthropology, economics, organizational behavior, political science, psychoanalysis, psychology and sociology. However BRAINWASHING remains the primary function of the Tavistock Institute of Human behavior. It has developed pioneering breakthroughs in the field of mass manipulation and brain-washing techniques. Its experiments in crowd control methods have been widely used on the American public, a surreptitious but nevertheless outrageous assault on human freedom by modifying individual behavior through topical psychology. The Tavistock Institute uses its skilled method of mass manipulation and societal social engineering to maintain social order-of which includes maintaining white dominance and control. The personnel of the corporations are required to undergo indoctrination at one or more of these Tavistock controlled institutions. A network of secret groups, the Mont Pelerin Society, Trilateral Commission, Ditchley Foundation, and the Club of Rome is conduit for instructions to the Tavistock network. The Institute’s prophet was Dr. Sigmund Freud, whom settled in Maresfield Gardens when he moved to England. Tavistock's pioneer work in science along Freudian lines of "controlling" humans established it as the world center of foundation ideology. Additionally Dr. Edward Bernays, Freud’s nephew and one of the most skillful experts in mass manipulation, was one of its most prestige’s members. In fact  Dr. Bernays was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses.      It is surmised that this system of mass manipulation of Blacks in America was implemented in the U.S in 1968 in the face of widespread violence that ensued after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Dr. King’s brutal assassination led to many demonstrations of unrest and rioting disturbances; that of which were reported in more than 100 cities across the nation. This violence resulted in the loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars and increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy.  America’s brutal racial mistreatment of African Americans had appeared to have reached its boiling point creating much unrest and discord. These factors, combined with the rapidly tarnishing American global image, led the U.S. Government’s agents of White supremacy to quickly reform their techniques of institutionalized racism.  The problem led to the then president, Lyndon B Johnson, ordering that a commission be formed, later known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem. The Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. The Kerner report’s findings required that the U.S. Government abandon it’s condoning of open, blatant forms of racism to control and maintain White dominance. This abandoning of dated tactics led to the need for developing an improved method of controlling and suppressing its Black population.  Changing times made it necessary for the U.S. government to change its methods to a much more subtle and socially acceptable means of continuing its racial suppression of Blacks and to maintain its White dominance.  Clearly, the sophisticated method of psychological warfare met such a need.  It was the logical choice, perfect for the changing times.  Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past, which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern method of racism works from a psychological perspective The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is the message that it carries and the way that it adversely affects the targeted recipient group in terms of their behavior. . This method provided the U.S. government a more socially acceptable method of continuing the White racial hierarchy for dominance and control given that it is not as easily recognized.  This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect.  It provides the U.S government the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among  Americans that meets its governmental objective.    In order for we African Americans to overcome the profound feelings of hopelessness, confusion, and self hatred that still overwhelmingly plagues millions within our communities, we must synergized our energies and efforts towards countering the effects of the United State’s ongoing governmental mass media psychosocial treatment of us that is deliberately designed to render such disunity and confusion among our race as a means of ensuring that its white dominance and control is maintained. The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance and control over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need. It was the logical choice because it covertly provided the U.S. Government with a far more sophisticated, proficient, and socially accepted means of covertly controlling and suppressing its Black population. Through this method the U.S. Government is able to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among its Black population that meet its objectives of maintaining its white dominance.  Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White race’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply ingrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population. The records of history show that the reincarnation of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice of the United States government.   As seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow inequalities that included many devious strategies and methods that prevented Blacks from becoming registered voters.  And let us not forget the horrific Tuskegee experiments where of in which from1932 and 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted dangerous syphilis experiments on four hundred Black men. These men were deliberately left to degenerate painfully under the ravishes of the disease – with symptoms including blindness, tumors, paralysis, insanity and death – to allow the U.S. Government to collect the needed data from their autopsies.  And let us also not forget of the CIA’s involvement in flooding the Black communities of Los Angeles with drugs and high powered weaponry and then disseminated these drugs and weaponry to many African American communities throughout the United States destroying the lives of millions of African Americans while stimulating the economy through the prison industry. The historic and demonstrative evidence overwhelmingly reflects the reality that the U.S. government does manifest a proclivity for reinventing devious methods to suppress its Black population. This proclivity has led to the U.S. Government using its proven method of mass psychological manipulation to control the advancement and growth of its Black population.  It was the next logical choice because the evils of racism thrives best when its victims no longer recognizes the evil.    “When the truth comes along and you know in your bones that it’s the truth yet you still refuse to accept and defend it you then really begin to die.”   THE BLACK MATRIX: THE MODERN CONTINUED MENTAL AND SOCIAL SUPPRESSION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS UNDER NATIONAL INTEREST © 2006, 2008 by Franklin G.

    Why I love African Americans

     

                 History affirms that African Americans have done more towards the obtainment of equality in the United States than other ethnic group. Where of which other ethnic groups, victimized by white racism, such as Asians, Latin’s, Native Americans etc had painfully accustomed their lives around America’s blatant system of white institutionalized racism African Americans however unified themselves and fought against it.  During the 1960’s African Americans fought white institutionalized racism on every front using militant means, non violent civil disobedience methods and through Black lawyers pleading their cases for equality within America’s Supreme Court. The brilliant organization and mobilizations of mass bus boycotts, marches, freedom riders, and sit ins that were peacefully conducted through the unified protest of civil disobedience by African Americans was remarkable and demonstrated an immense degree of Black unity.

              These methods of civil disobedience gave the world images of African Americans being violently attacked by Whites and not violently responding to them in return.  These images touched the hearts and consciences of others, gaining national and global support that eventually lead to white America abandoning its blatant and legalized forms of Jim Crow racism.  The degree of unity and organization demonstrated among African Americans then was extraordinary and arguably remains unrivaled by any other group in the history of America.

             Additionally African American contribution towards the advancements in the fields of science and technology during and following reconstruction has also been remarkably astounding.  This was made evident by the overabundance of patent applications submitted by African American inventors to the U.S. Patent office. Many of us know that the Wright Brothers invented the airplane but most of us are deliberately eluded of the fact that the motor and the propeller required to fly the airplane were invented by African Americans. It was also an African American that performed the first open heart surgery, made advancements on the light-bulb, invented the method used for blood banks around the world etc… These significant contributions are especially miraculous considering they were done under such racially oppressive conditions and so relatively shortly after slavery.  It was even an African American that invented the cell phone; an invention that has impacted the entire world and millions of people.

    . 

     What is more, the premise that there exists an innate proclivity for divisiveness among African Americans is also totally inaccurate. This premise is inconsistent with the true history of African Americans.  While perhaps difficult to believe, Black unity (Umoja) was historically, the cornerstone of the African American community and a crucial factor in the survival of Black America for more than four-hundred years of White racial oppression.  It is credited for the success of the Underground Railroad system that secretly led to the escape of hundreds of African slaves to the North.  Black unity and cohesion also contributed to the survival of millions of African Americans not only during slavery, but also during the aftermath of brutal Jim-Crow era lynching and through the financially crippling years of the United States’ great depression era.  Black unity was the most significant factor in the success of the 1960's civil right movement.

    .

     

    This positive narrative of Africans Americans is a factual one but it is also one that is deliberately never heard neither within America’s educational system nor within its media. In fact their common portrayal of African Americans is deploringly contradictive of what has been presented here.

    Within the American society African Americans are most often depicted as the race and or group that can’t get it together, being intellectually inferior, more prone to crime, as having health disparities and diseases and as being societal burdens that have contributed very little if anything at all to the American way of life.

    Although sadly many Blacks themselves have come to accept these given negative assessments of them, they are however harmfully untrue.  Despite what is most often presented in the U.S. media, most crimes are not being committed by Black males and nor are Black women the largest recipients of welfare and affirmative actions. (White women are)  Also regardless of the prominent showings of Black athletes that marry white women, most Black men in the United States do love, prefer and most often marries Black women.  In addition the down low gay life style is not highest among Black males and nor are Black women more prone to possessing the most abrasive and rudest attitudes among their gender.  

      Furthermore, the belief that Blacks don’t enjoy reading is also totally fallacious, because Black readership is at its all time highest. For never before have there been more published African American authors, publishers and Black owned book stores. The Johnson publishing company, for example, is one of several African American publishing companies that have made the fortune five hundred list almost exclusively on the backs of millions of Black readership alone. Thirty years ago the popular Jet Magazine was published once a month now it’s published once a week if African American our reading less today how then is this possible?

     

        The more pressing question is why are African Americans being so grossly inaccurately portrayed within the United States media?  The monumental answer to this profound question will be answered within this article; however it will be quite difficult for many African Americans to accept because they have been conditioned away from realizing the truth. Also because of its immense degree of sophistication therefore many will find it too shocking and stunning to contemplate. However, it is imperative that all Black people become cognizant of what is really being done to them.

     

    Malcolm X once said (paraphrasing) that the media has the ability to turn villains into heroes and turn victims into villains. He also said (again paraphrasing) that the white controlled media and educational system bamboozles and hoodwinks us. His profound words uttered some forty years ago are precisely what is being done to African Americans today. Moreover it is now the most detrimental, proficient and sophisticated system of racism ever deplored against African Americans.

    As a means of maintaining its white dominance and control, the U.S. government now uses a modern covert system of control and suppression of its Black population that uses false disinformation disseminated through the national media that is deliberately designed to confuse, and divide its Black population and to create a consensual environment of where in which Blacks are more easily exploited and ultimately suppressed.

    The white controlled media deplorable portrayal of Black people is a

    deliberate psychosocial program that is designed to engender self hate, disunity, and confusion among African Americans as a means of maintaining America’s white dominance and control. Not only does it conditions African Americans to accept white dominance over their lives, but also conditions them to prefer it.

    This covert revamped system of white racism is so proficient that it directly contributes to the ill self perceptions among millions of African Americans and the myriad problems now adversely affecting Black America.  Black people’s images of themselves are being defined to them by white men whom they’ve never met. Powerful elites white men that are secretly still committed to maintaining white dominance and control in the United States and therefore are doing so by feeding Black people those fraudulent stories of themselves that convinces them of white superiority and their own inferiority .

     It is these media reports comprised completely by white men, that African Americans can in fact neither confirm nor refute, that tells Black people who and what they are. As a result of this unfair arrangement many millions of African Americans have now come to accept the deplorably inaccurate perceptions of themselves as a race; a view that Black unity, racial pride, and educational aspiration-- collective characteristics that were once hallmarks of Black culture and identity-- all merely disintegrated when integration and other subsequent opportunities became available and that they themselves are totally the blame and now their own worst enemies. The harmfully inaccurate self perceptions among millions of African Americans today are not merely coincidental.

     

    It no random coincident that so many Black people in the U.S. are now saying that they hate Black people. These feelings are the result of a deliberate covert psychosocial mass manipulation is program that is being deplored against America’s Black population as a means for maintaining white dominance and control.

     

    Because African Americans are inundated with fraudulent negatively depictions of themselves they are therefore operating from a false perception of themselves. Although some blacks may experienced negative interactions with their fellow Blacks that make these negative portrayals appear accurate they are however not. Blacks own negative experiences with their fellow blacks merely acts as a confirmation of what is being fraudulently perpetuated.  For example, a Black woman who has been hurt by three Black men in her life time may become totally convinced, when such hurtful experiences are constantly support by the media’s negative portrayals of Black men, that all the other 12 million Black men in the U.S. that she hasn’t met are all dogs incapable of love.

    The U.S. government has used fake news reports to support its governmental objectives for several decades. Its unrelenting objective of maintaining its white racial dominance and control unrelenting has resulted in it secretly uses this same proven method of media manipulation through fake news reports against its Black population. It is an insidious yet very sophisticated system of control. Deliberate fraudulent statistics, media and news reports about African Americans are disseminated unrelentingly everywhere through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages adversely affect its targeted Black recipient group. Its constant relentless bombardment of deplorably negative imageries of African Americans is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to adversely manipulate and shape the minds and collective consciousness of America’s Black population by subjecting them to seeing only the fraudulent worst in themselves.  Its unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche drills the message that Blacks are powerless, of lesser moral, and intelligence and that they need Whites to govern over their lives.  It totally detaches African Americans from their sense of power and reality. Moreover, it corrupts African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group while insinuating that Blacks admire, respect, and trust only Whites. Additionally it conditions America’s Black population to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.     Its propaganda and manipulations practices divides to conquer and misinforms to exploit and suppress it Black population and it is being deployed in all sectors - government, media, health and welfare, entertainment, and education, etc- nationally and internationally.

     

    It is surmised that this modern method of control was implemented in 1968 in the face of widespread violence that ensued after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Dr. King’s brutal assassination led to many demonstrations of unrest and rioting disturbances; that of which were reported in more than 100 cities across the nation. This violence resulted in the loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars and increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy.  America’s brutal racial mistreatment of African Americans had appeared to have reached its boiling point creating much unrest and discord. These factors, combined with the rapidly tarnishing American global image, led the U.S. Government’s agents of White supremacy to quickly reform their techniques of institutionalized racism.

     The problem led to the then president, Lyndon B Johnson, ordering that a commission be formed, later known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem. The Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems.

    The Kerner report’s findings required that the U.S. Government abandon it’s condoning of open, blatant forms of racism to control and maintain White dominance. This abandoning of dated tactics led to the need for developing an improved method of controlling and suppressing its Black population.  Changing times made it necessary for the U.S. government to change its methods to a much more subtle and socially acceptable means of continuing its racial suppression of Blacks and to maintain its White dominance.  Clearly, the sophisticated method of psychological warfare met such a need.  It was the logical choice, perfect for the changing times.  Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past, which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern method of racism works from a psychological perspective. This provided the U.S. government a more socially acceptable method of continuing the White racial hierarchy for dominance and control given that it is not as easily recognized.  This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect.  Its methods include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among Americans that meet the U.S government objective. 

     

        The basis of this concept of mind manipulation is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is the message that it carries and the way that it adversely affects the targeted recipient group in terms of their behavior. Here is a simplified example of how this is being implemented against African Americans.  Let us, for example, imagine that a crew of people was aboard their own massive ship and that this ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group. Such messages as that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy, perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent and was planning a mutiny.  With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own boat even if their own ship was in fact better.

     

    Within a real life setting this mortifying psychological manipulation is precisely what is being done to African Americans through an immense campaign of false derogatory misinformation and false negative media reports, fake news, and statistics that are created by U.S. governmental agencies and then leaked to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own. These false information about African Americans is then disseminated unrelentingly everywhere; it is deliberately perpetuated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, television, press releases, documentaries, and false census reports perpetuating and framing the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population. However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages affect the targeted recipients.

    The constant relentless bombardment with deplorably negative images of themselves that of which African Americans are so inundated with throughout the media  is a very carefully and deliberately designed psychological conditioning program. It is designed to subject African Americans to seeing, through a controlled national media, only the worst in themselves-- while insinuating that they admire, respect, and trust only Whites. This unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to corrupt African Americans’ sense of racial unity and cohesion, mold the character of self-hatred, and engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group.  Many Blacks may even begin to feel that there is something not quite right about their Black humanity. To the detriment of Blacks, this system of applied psychological conditioning has been an extremely effective. It has successfully conditioned many African Americans to accept the dominance of Whites and white institutions over their lives by misleading them to believe that they are, themselves, their own worst enemies, therefore engendering an aberration of internalized self contempt that pulverizes Black unity and halts Black upward mobility.

    Moreover, all African Americans have experienced the burden of this psychological warfare, some more severely than others have.  It is experienced every time we [Blacks] read a newspaper, watch the evening news, enter a classroom, and read its racially biased textbooks.  And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the psychology mortifying mine field and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives, but for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won and likely to manifest negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. In fact, this governmental mortifying psychological warfare against African Americans may be the most aggravating, if not core, factor of the national phenomenon of self hatred; loss of educational aspirations; loss of unity, cohesion and racial pride; and fragile psyches of many African Americans today. Moreover, this type of psychological manipulation program has been proven very effective in rapidly destroying a group’s ethical and moral values and cultural norms with regard to violence, brutality, and even murder.  All people are products of cultural conditions and their worldviews operate outside of their level of consciousness. Therefore, no group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact.  This mass manipulation program is In fact, so proficient at damaging the Black self-perception that tragically it has become easier for many Blacks to accept derogatory premises of themselves rather than recognizing this program.

     

    This mass psychological conditioning program also significantly influences society as a whole. Its ultimate goal is to foster a consensual national setting of where in which Blacks are more easily divided, exploited and ultimately suppressed. The media’s constant negative imagery of Black Americans is not only fraudulently inaccurate but is actually being done to engender a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism. Therefore insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone, thus engendering increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that are designed to makes the nation and the entire world insensitive to their plight, tranquilizes efforts on their behalf, lessens pressure for social change on their behalf and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today and attempts discourage miscegenation between Blacks and whites.  It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans. Wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. These injustices now goes ignored because the perception has become that it’s all now justified.

    When contempt of Blacks is made to appear to be justifiable, it is the most fiercest and effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated disproportionately incarcerated under the belief that it is justified.] It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. This campaign successfully stripped African Americans of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960's civil rights struggles. This anti Black governmental campaign of psychological warfare also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation. 

    The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need—because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its African American population and to maintain its White dominance and national stability.

           The present despairing state of Black America is neither a baffling phenomenon, nor the result of some innate racial deficiency among Blacks, but is rather, in fact, a deliberate design and out come of a very sophisticated, more detrimental and proficient system of racism t hat has been secretly implemented against African Americans--as a means of maintaining America's white dominance and control. In order to recognize it requires that African Americans                                                                                                                                reexamine some of their most basic beliefs and prior assumptions.  It will also require that African Americans first overcome a psychologically ingrained “White is right” preferentiality that has been thoroughly indoctrinated upon the Black psyche.

    [The essential purpose of defining people through the media is to create two sets of consciousness, in other words, to establish two sets of realities. The first set of realities is to put limitations on those defined and create a demarcation to exclude them and constrain them to accept such definition as providence or inevitability. The second set of realities is to subjugate the conscience of the one who defines, in order to create a disposition that justifies or rationalizes his actions, however contrary to reason they are, for example the mistreatment of others —the people they have defined.

    The definition of people by other people has fundamental implications. Definitions such as “race” establish attitudes of racial superiority and inferiority, prejudice and bigotry. These attitudes ultimately evolve into an institutionalized system of discrimination, exclusion, deprivation, and oppression; based on superficial and imposed qualities or characteristics such as skin color, other racial definitions and sentiments associated with race definition—superiority and inferiority complex, prejudice and bigotry. Through the ages, definition has been used as an instrument of domination, exclusion, and oppression.

    Such definitions also bring about racial and cultural aggression, all of which are highly destructive to the people so defined. This is particularly true of African Americans, who have experienced extreme cases of the impact of definitions that inspired and established racism and cultural aggression towards them.

    Historically, the definition of people, such as race or race definition, constitutes a system of special privileges and benefits. It guarantees psychological, symbolic, and material rewards for those who have successfully defined others as to exclude those they have defined from the benefits of privilege. It also guarantees special privileges to those included, by reason of based on the object of definition, for example skin color, ethnicity, etc. In essence, the purpose of defining people is to establish a system of privilege, designed to exclude or include them.

    Definition has been used and is still being used as a servo and strategy to divide, exploit, and destroy people. Such is the color complex associated with dark skinned people, particularly Africans. Increasingly, poor and low wage working “class” of people are subjected to similar treatments, albeit without the destructive power of the presuppositions that inhabit racial definitions. ]

    Three Steps

     

    I pray. I listen. I act.

     

    In any situation, I can take three simple steps to see my way through: Pray, listen, and act.

     

    Prayer attunes me to God. It quiets my mind, stills my emotions, and prepares me to receive direction. Prayer turns me temporarily away from the conditions that concern me so I am open to ideas for solving them.

     

    During prayer I pause, ready to hear or to sense from within my answer. Listening to God means waiting for the right ideas to illumine my mind. Intuitively sensing a course of action and accepting it readies me for the kind of action that cannot fail to bless and prosper me.

    Prosperity

     

    I am a child of God, blessed with unlimited good.

     

    My thoughts are like seeds in the rich soil of my mind. As I think about abundance, I am sowing seeds that will produce it. I focus on positive thoughts and hold them in prayer, fully expecting good outcomes.

     

    If thoughts of fear or lack pop up, I release them just as I would remove weeds from my garden. I refocus on the good that is here now, and I know there is more to come.

     

    All good comes from God, expressing through people and circumstances. As I open my mind to God, I receive divine ideas, add my creative thoughts, and take action. I am an integral part of an abundant universe. I am a child of God, blessed with unlimited good.

    Divine Order

     

    I am one with God in all I do.

     

    I align with divine order today by becoming still. I enter a special time of quiet in which I am only conscious of God's presence. I relax and allow every breath to take me deeper into my experience of God.

     

    My mind is quiet. I listen. In the silence, ideas present themselves. They are ideas that reflect my soul's greatest desires for wisdom, health, abundance, and harmony.

     

    My desires come from the wisdom of my soul, and they are mine to claim and to act upon. I affirm divine order throughout the day and know right outcomes will appear at the perfect time, in the perfect way. I put God first and experience being one with the One in all I do.
