Watch out! The Zimmerman Trial is Just Another Media Hyped Event to Get You Angry
We have seen this story play out in the past, an African American is murdered by someone who isn't black and the news media goes wild! Like cheerleaders at a football game, the media stands on the sidelines rooting for whatever race, culture, gender, or creed while motivating the public to get emotionally charged for his or her favorite team. But if you are not knowledgeable about the team, history, power players, etc., yet easily moved by stories of success and failure, you will pick a side based on personal experience not facts and you won't bother to use your critical thinking skills to find out how is it that XYZ team got so much fanfare to begin with and why should you care?
The fact is everyday a black man, woman or child is murdered whether the suspect is white, yellow, red, black, etc. But what makes the Trayvon and Zimmerman story so compelling is a young black male and a white looking Latino (who both have family members that are influential in their communities) have been strategically picked out to be used to cause a stir between their racial groups that have been known for their hot-headness and ignorance around the world.
Turn blacks and Latinos against one another and low and behold, there will be chaos! Now why would any powerful, wealthy group want to do that--more specifically a racist white group or groups? So that martial law would be established in certain communities especially where there are many low and middle income families. The oppressor finds yet more ways to oppress those who he hates especially if he or she fears that his or her space, family, position, rule, and more may one day be threatened by "those people."
If the poor and middle class families choose to act like fools on the day that a verdict is rendered in favor of Zimmerman, they will be playing into the hands of a sadistic enemy that wants nothing more than to further destroy what little they have in their communities already. If the verdict should go the other way in favor of the victim, it doesn't necessarily mean that all will be quiet, so keep your eyes open for more stories to get you angry, spew hate and weaken you spiritually.
Rather than fall for the racially motivated stories, comprised of a whole lot of evil to get one frustrated and enraged enough to go burn down someone's business, home, and more, one should use his or her faith and pray while thanking God you weren't fool enough to be manipulated by narcissistic elitists who simply don't like those who don't look or act like them. We must also consider that those groups who don't like neither blacks or Latinos will "act" or "play" out chaos in the hopes that martial law will be implemented. It is unfortunate that some "masterminds of chaos" will go to great lengths to destroy "the undesirables," but the reality is that fools seal their own fate. Some of you reading this have a few too many foolish people in your family who should be at home, at work, in school and somewhere else doing something productive, but instead they rather be out on the street being unproductive. Then when something goes down, they holler, "Injustice!" Negro please!
Keep in mind, after watching enough TV, listening to prejudice folks, and more, anger doesn't have to manifest itself out into the streets, it can fester in one's home, workplace, church, civic group, etc. making it uncomfortable for all parties who are in that trouble-making person's presence. A victim of segregation may become visibly upset by someone else's drama and spread his or her curses throughout his or her environment not realizing that he or she is being used like a pawn to incite racial conflict, hate, arguments, and physical fights.
Poisonous words said to partners and children about "how this one and that one is nothing more than a &*^%$!" is of course not spreading love but war and God sees all! So once again, let this be a warning to those of you who read this blog, don't fall for the media hype when it comes to these trials and other media events that are marketed in such a way to encourage a race war.
Be at peace with your brothers and sisters as best you can and your God will bless you for it!

Masking an Agenda to Look Like a “Black” Issue
When we listen to black news, our black
relatives, and black leaders at the workplace and church, we
typically don't think too deeply about what they are telling us.
Why? Because you might share common experiences like being unfairly
treated by certain non-blacks. So the last thing you think about is
that person on or off TV, in a magazine or standing before you is a
mind controlled person who is just regurgitating what he or she
believes is a “black” problem.


But when someone or a group tries to
convince us that something is important to us when it really is not,
they are going to say some “trigger” words related to what they
think they know already about us. Whatever the words might be, the
skilled leader, writer, teacher, etc. will carefully plant them in
his or her speeches to get you up off your seat, out into the
community, or simply keep you in bed thinking about nothing but
getting your fleshly desires met. Now roll over and go back to
sleep!
For instance, I tell you that a certain
athlete is up to no good off the court and why people should stop
buying his sneakers and paying for game tickets to see him. But you
like the athlete so you don't want to look beyond his performance.
In our conversation, we start throwing some names around of athletes
we both know back when we were in college and how their reputations
mattered both on and off the court. You and I both agree. But then
you start talking about some negative experiences you had with them
and also share some stories about what you heard. Through your
personal experience, I take you back to my original point. By the
end of the discussion, you are plenty angry about what you have
learned about your star athlete. You say you will consider not
buying your children his sneakers anymore or going to his games.
Now that example was simple. You have
one person with a thought that may or may not have been generated by
media influence. After talking for awhile you might
question further what do I know that has made me think that way.
When in a conversation similar to the example, a person should look beyond
the scope of a celebrity's performance to see how might his or her actions or inactions might affect sons and daughters and others in the family unit since they might idolize this person.
Now think of the power play of persuasion used in the example on a grand scale. A person convincing you to
believe something that may or may not be true of someone or
something. When most people don't like something or someone they
usually don't keep their personal opinion to themselves. What most
likely happens is the individual will persuade others to go along with what? The
programming! From television programming to “What my mama said” programming.
Non-blacks do this all the time in media and will put select
top-charting, block-buster movie performing blacks up to spreading
their messages that are supposed to be about black people! We have
enough issues within our own family structure so why take on more
orchestrated by the media!
Another black man or young boy is
gunned down on a city street and this is popularized in our media once again to do what? Psychologically keep black
folks in line, especially when police brutality is involved, reminding us to stay in our place or else. Of course,
there are many random acts of violence that happen to all sorts of
people, but to single out blacks so often in media, in my opinion, is due to the looming threat that if we set our minds
to it, we will organize on a mass scale, this time without the need of a white man or woman acting like Jesus
Christ to help us behind the scenes.
If one wants to keep a people mind controlled
and oppressed, the enemy is going to use the group's own people to say things
he or she may know about us already, but the evil one is going to magnify them
in such a way that they benefit him. “Well, he got a point, our people always
late...you know we can't organize to save our lives...” Non-blacks hear what we say amongst each other and then they use what they have learned against
us. Sometimes we have to just stand up like we do with the word
n*gger and say, “We might say that amongst each other, but you
don't have a right to say what you want to say to us and think we are
going to be okay with it.” Just because one has walked with a
black, ate with a black, and may have even had sex with a black,
doesn't mean he or she knows or is black. However, we have those in
our community that divide us because they “think” they know.
Their causes are more important then walking in peace and
righteousness. They start believing that their own man-made/demonic
agendas made up of selfishness, deceit, and witchcraft is going to
really help the collective even though that is untrue, but they even persuade themselves on their own lies! Those in powerful positions around the world attempt to convince us through
everything they can think of to go along with that agenda masked in black! From a black singer dancing seductively in black to a
created script of chaos about black to get everyone fearful and upset about black. Get it? Blacks serving other blacks with an agenda that was never really about black!
Talk show
hosts, comedians and others that have sold out for more fame and money are
used heavily to perpetuate myths, stereotypes and more while ultimately destroying what little
critical thinking skills that the disenfranchised blacks have. Sure,
he or she sounds like us, acts like us, but are not truly
representing us! And let's be honest, what really is “us”? You
and I may have common interests and experiences, but there really is
no “us” where we can sit down and agree on everything that we
do and say--that doesn't even happen with bloodlines. Yet, it is in the best interest of those at the top of
the food chain to treat us all the same. Because if they do that,
eventually we are going to shop at the same places, eat the same
foods, talk the same talk, walk the same walk (notice rappers and brothas from around the way), and act like whatever they want us to act
like just so long as it is very close to the same this and the same that--it's cost effective, easier to manage people with similar behavior, interests, buying patterns, etc. No originality creativity, no new perspective to help humanity, and no new way of doing things!
When you least expect it, our so called
“reputable, trustworthy” media (see what I say about this on my
YouTube Channel: nmenterprise7) will take an issue that really has
nothing to do with you or I, our families, neighborhood, business
associations, church community and the like, then spin it so that it
is about you! There we are ready to rip our mates, relatives and friends a new one
over an issue that really doesn't have anything to do with your
relationship, business, raising children, spirituality, etc.!
When some bring the manufactured hype to you, you should say, "What happened to this one and that one's child is unfortunate, but that is not my child. 'It might be...it could be...it could have' is fear- mongering. Matter of fact, when was the last time you spent time with your own child while you are getting so upset about someone else's?" I'm sure you can phrase this statement better, but you get my point.

I'm sure you can phrase this statement better, but you get my point.
The famous black athlete gets arrested, so what!
Consider it a big payback for all that lying and cheating he was
doing on and off the court finally catching up to him—they don't
pay those "chosen" hand-sign waving players the big bucks for nothing!
The award-winning African American journalist, singer, rapper, talk show host, or someone else we think we know goes down for this issue and that one, then what do some of us do? We act like the whole community is going down with him or her, “They don't let us have nothing...you see the man is up to his tricks again...” so he is, then expose him on it. Don't convince me to go along with "the program." Tell the complainer, "I dare you to walk up to The Man and tell him about his ugly ways and then organize a protest." I personally got on people's bad side for making a stand, and guess what? I don't care. I don't lose one night of sleep for speaking truth.

I personally got on people's bad side for making a stand, and guess what? I don't care. I don't lose one night of sleep for speaking truth.
But what do the sell-out
entertainers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, government leaders,
business men and women do to attain and keep their positions? Whatever their handlers tell them--some give up sex and sell-out their own children, others give up relationships, murder, abort babies, cause chaos, fix games--whatever!
Ask yourself this, has any celebrity you pay your local cable company each month to watch on TV, between brain-washing commercials personally or professionally, helped you? Think about that for a moment.
Let's be real with ourselves and stop going along with mass media brainwashing! Tell yourself, “Not my issue,” particularly when you know the media wants you to toss those hoods up, raise those hands, buy this, vote for this one and support this cause, protest, and give to that. Most of the over-hyped messages directed toward blacks are typically coming from a cowardly, house slave entertainer who refuses to speak truth—real truth—not manufactured hype. However, we don't want to look away so much from current events that we become ineffective when it comes to spreading real truth among family and friends either!
Be more concerned about what is affecting your life AND your brother and sister's as well—if you have a faith you know what I am talking about, I'm not encouraging anyone to cast their pearls to swine, no matter what color that swine is—black, brown, pink, or shady! But what I am saying is be viligant when it comes to truth-telling and let your Creator guide you.

But what I am saying is be viligant when it comes to truth-telling and let your Creator guide you.
When a black face stands before masses,
supposedly having something “important” to say, and this message
is pretending to address a “black issue,” you have got to
remember that there is more to the story. Pay attention, close
attention, to what has taken place leading up to such an event such as: the death of a celebrity, a tragic event, or a supposed feel-good story or victory decorated with black characters. Why does media really want you to know this? For example, if you saw a black couple all over the media winning a large amount of money. You would know that the media is encouraging you to waste more money on lottery tickets not so everyone would be so happy for this couples' win. With enough programming, you would fall for it and have most of your spending money gone by Friday trying to keep those numbers in--some of you know who you are!
Notice what club a puppet for the media belongs to, because you should know by now, that
many business people have club associations, you might be one who is
connected with a group yourself. What might be the topic of the day
coming from the top at your organization? Who is really at the top,
have you looked beyond the group's propaganda to figure that one out?
(Researcher Steve Coakley told many blacks about The Boule, did you do your research yet? This elite group made up of the wealthiest blacks in America has been known for being the gatekeepers for the white secret society, Skull and Bones.)
Think about this for those of you who belong to churches, why does your group and others tend to be active when it comes to the same political issues approximately the same time, despite having nothing in common, and supposedly separate from government? Think about the many patterns with churches across all denominations who will preach similar gospels supporting one political issue, gender group, news event, etc. Who is governing them? When you think about all these questions, you have to also think who is really benefiting from the national civic group's, mega-church's, fraternity's and women's club members' time and money ? How long does one stay with the group before he or she can branch out on his or her own and still be successful? You see, “The Agenda” behind the black issue matters to only a few. No matter what level you are in a community group, secrets stay at the top unless someone chooses to reveal something worthwhile which most often not.

No matter what level you are in a community group, secrets stay at the top unless someone chooses to reveal something worthwhile which most often not.
Have you observed during a
presidential campaign year after year the same issues keep coming up? The powerful minority rarely
organizes nor demands that new issues be put on the table that affect all people not just blacks and the "real" majority's efforts usually get shot down by traitors who work within the group. Who really takes responsibility for old issues
that have yet to be rectified--politically, spiritually, mentally, etc.? Who? No one knows. All you have is a puppet politician, lawyer, doctor, teacher, civil rights leader and others who tell you another lie. Yet, the same powerful individuals
running our world will use the over-hyped topics year after year to sway
the masses to abandon critical thinking skills and keep going along
just to get along.
In closing, do keep your eyes wide open
on any topic that is deemed a “black” issue. Never assume that a
black entertainer with millions of dollars and a large platform “Got you...” or “feel you.” Maybe there
are some remnants of emotion left over from “Back in the day...,”
but seriously, those puppets have changed! When these players disappoint
their masters, they get on the Internet and elsewhere and start
confessing in between jokes, comments and the like, "I sold out to the devil...they tried to kill me...the entertainment industry ain't nothing but..." and that's when
their career dies, a loved one dies or they die. When the sell-out starts breaking programming, refusing to mask the agenda
as a black issue, they have to pay a dear price
because of it. It is then, that they, my friends, become martyrs for our land.
The truth will set masses free in time, so spill it! God bless.
