Re: Dr. Elijah Grant


Most people will laugh at the idea of Karmic Retribution because they are too myopic & too programmed (by European ideas) to grasp the long range consequences of their actions. But when disease, death, discomfort & loss of love ones occur, it will be TOO LATE for them to learn from their mistakes. Those who LEARN WHAT THEY DID WRONG make the necessary corrections in their lives.



The Downfall of Corruption

As I matured in this spiritual experience, I could never believe

That corruption would cease in the world, too many Afrikans are deceived

They are conditioned by their former slave masters, to chase after greed

Some even let their children imitate their ways, while they remain naive

We have been divided and conquered, because we've taken their religion

This was their most masterful trick, because it caused a great division

A division that destroys our children is not an intelligent decision

If we ever wake up, the downfall will be executed with precision

The downfall of corruption, will definitely come true

Because no lie can live forever, and people are tired of this crap too

When you see it coming, don't pretend that you knew

Because if you did know it would have been manifested, IN THE DEEDS THAT YOU DO

Before Hitler was born, there were people worse than him in AmeriKKKa. In fact, he learned how to hate from this corrupt and evil country that's ran by monsters of humanity.

"Hitler and his henchmen victimized an entire continent and exterminated millions in his quest for a so-called "Master Race."

But the concept of a white, blond-haired, blue-eyed master Nordic race was not Hitler's. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in Connecticut, two to three decades before Hitler came to power, the product of the American eugenics movement."

Plus, Hitler used fluoridation of the water for sterilizing of the non-Aryan population and shutting down their brains. This made the prisoners under Nazi control calm.

How to Identify a Prophet

The most appropriate way to know
if someone with Melanin is a Prophet,
Or liberator of the People is this:

If Christians attack them,
And/or Roman authority seizes them,

And/or the media slanders them,

And/or they die a sudden,

And/or suspicious death,

And Multitudes of People look up to,
And/or seek insight from them,

Because they show People,
By example, that which will genuinely liberate them,
Even though the People believe it is impossible to do,

Then that is,
PROBABLY A PROPHET
Sent to liberate,
OUR People!

The word Christian means Cretin,
which means idiot and stupid.

Re: Dr. Elijah Grant


The cleverness and deceit of Europeans as a cultural group is systematic and effective. Syphilis, a notorious disease resulting from sexual license and non-hygienic practices of a morally decadent European society, was introduced to indigenous peoples all over the world during European colonial penetration and its aftermath, in some cases decimating whole populations. Then centuries later the disease becomes associated with the victims of European contamination, while Europeans admonish each other against contact with cultural others, lest they be contaminated by the disease that originated among them.

Re: Dr. Elijah Grant


There are two circumstances that can be interpreted as part of an ongoing attempt to destroy African people, both on the continent and in the Diaspora. One is the infamous Tuskegee Experiment (1932-1972); the other is the current existence and spread of the AIDS virus.
For forty years the United States Government via its Public Health Service (PHS) conducted a study of the effects of untreated syphilis on Africans in Macon County, Alabama. Referred to as 'The Tuskegee Experiment' after the name of the county seat and the famous educational institute founded by Booker T. Washington, the experiment involved 399 African men with syphilis and 201 African men free of the disease, who were used as 'CONTROLS'. This 'experiment' is documented in a book entitled Bad Blood, written by James H. Jones

A variety of tests and medical examinations were performed on the men during scores of visits by PHS physicians over the years, but the basic procedures called for periodic blood testing and routine autopsies to supplement the information that was obtained through clinical examinations.

The men with Syphilis were chosen because they were in the last or 'tertiary' stage of the disease. The scientists wanted to learn about the serious complications that occurred during the final phase. The study established that the men with Syphilis died more quickly than those who did not have it. This conclusion hardly seems worth the effort. BUT since the objective was simply to observe the devastating effects of Syphilis, coldly, 'rationally' and 'scientifically', the study was deemed a 'success'.

The physicians involved, in the service of the United States Government, can be charged with anti-human, genocidal behavior, behavior that makes hypocritical nonsense of the Hippocratic Oath.
James Jones comments: “The Tuskegee Experiment had nothing to do with treatment.” No new drugs were developed or tested! No old drugs were evaluated! “It was a non-therapeutic experiment”. In other words, diseased patients were diagnosed by physicians and then not treated so that their condition
could deteriorate, leading in most cases, to untimely death.

If there is any doubt as to the severe nature of the disease under discussion, let us take the time to describe it briefly. Syphilis has been divided into three states of progression: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The details of these stages were known to European medical science in 1932. The primary stage lasts from ten to sixty days and involves a chancre ulcer. The secondary stage begins
within six weeks to six months with a rash and often skin eruptions. Other complications are the aching of bones and joints, circulatory disturbances, fever, indigestion, and headaches. Skin lesions may develop, causing hair to drop from the scalp. “The greatest proliferation and most widespread distribution of the infectious spirochetes throughout the body occurs in secondary syphilis.” The tertiary or final stage is the most severe and most significant for an understanding of this grotesque human experiment. In the tertiary state a person develops gummy or rubbery tumors, lesions, and tumors that coalesce on the skin forming large ulcers covered with a crust consisting of several layers of dried exuded matter. They produce deterioration of the bone, sometimes eating away the bone. The liver may also be affected. Syphilis also attacks the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, and patients often die of problems related to this condition.

The tumors may attack the walls of the heart or the blood vessels. When the aorta is involved, the walls of the heart become weakened, scar tissue forms over the lesions, the artery dilates, and the valves of the heart no longer open and close properly and begin to leak. The stretching of the vessels walls may produce an aneurysm, a balloonlike bulge in the aorta. If the bulge bursts, and sooner or later most do, the result is sudden death.

Neurosyphilis effects the brain. The most common form is paresis, which is a softening of the brain that causes progressive paralysis and mental disorder. Syphilis also can effect the spinal cord, the optic nerve (causing blindness), or a cranial nerve (causing deafness).
What is described above is what the physicians were able to coldly observe in the name of 'science'. In Jones' book, there is testimony from patients to the effect that they did not know that they had syphilis but were told vaguely that they had 'bad blood'. And, what is worse, that they were given the impression (some for over 30 years) that they were being treated for whatever condition they had. On the other hand, officials at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta told reporters in 1972 that participants had been informed that they had syphilis and were given the opportunity to withdraw from the program and receive treatment. But this was contradicted by a physician who had been involved in the experiment in 1932. He said that neither the attending interns nor the subjects knew what the study involved. Why would anyone who knew that they were seriously ill remain in a program that denied them treatment when they could leave and get treatment elsewhere?
The implications of the Tuskegee Experiment are staggering but only if one does not understand the nature of European culture and the character of European Ideology. Black men were asked to allow themselves to be tested for 'bad blood'. If chosen, either because they tested positive or as a part of the 'control' group, they were to come periodically to the clinics for observation. They were under the impression that they were coming for treatment. Why did they respond at all? They were mostly poor and were given incentives such as free physical examination, free rides to and from the clinics, hot meals on examination days, free rides to and from the clinics, hot meals on examination days, and free treatment for minor ailments. They were also 'befriended' by a negro nurse, Nurse Rivers, whom they trusted and who served as a liason between whites and their black objects of study. She made the men feel that they were part of an exclusive social club and burial society that guaranteed their relatives $50 for their funerals. Eunice Rivers was perhaps the most victimized of all: transformed into an enemy of her people.

After 25 years in the experiment the participants were given 'certificates'. What images allowed such hypocritical, anti-human behavior? Europeans were saying to themselves: Let a group of black men die and suffer from syphilis without treatment so that we can observe its effects. Fortunately (for them) black people are available- the cultural 'other'.
In 1972, when the experiment was finally publicized, newsman Harry Reasoner reported that human beings had been used ' as laboratory animals in a long and inefficient study of how long it takes syphilis
to kill someone.” But these men of African descent were not considered 'human beings'. 'Human Beingness' is not merely a scientific classification; it denotes a spiritual empathetic relationship.

The cleverness and deceit of Europeans as a cultural group is systematic and effective. Syphilis, a notorious disease resulting from sexual license and non-hygienic practices of a morally decadent European society, was introduced to indigenous peoples all over the world during European colonial penetration and its aftermath, in some cases decimating whole populations. Then centuries later the disease becomes associated with the victims of European contamination, while Europeans admonish each other against contact with cultural others, lest they be contaminated by the disease that originatedamong them.
“From our knowledge of the Negro we should be inclined to the opinion that a chance for an education or even its acquisition does not materially influence his well-known sexually promiscuity” wrote Dr. Louis Wender. “Another 50 years will find an unsyphilitic negro a freak” said Dr. Bruce McVey. This pernicious association of people of African descent with sexual promiscuity established the atmosphere in which the Tuskegee Experiment could be tolerated. There was another critical ingredient to the image: ignorance. “Ignorance and uncleanliness have ever gone hand in hand with disease...” Low moral standards were said to be in the 'very nature' of black people. Ignorance and sexually promiscuity – the double barrel leveled at Africans in America- set us up to be deserving guinea pigs; even worse, objects of genocide.
It is a moot question as to whether the european physicians failed to treat the Africans because they wanted to observe them dying or because they wanted to kill them. From an African-centered perspective, it is the same thing. ( and what about all of the people who could have been and were infected by the men with syphilis who didn't know that they had it? Perhaps this was also part of the 'experiment')

If your woman or man isn’t a revolutionary, they will convince you to be a subservient sellout!

Don't allow anyone to BLOCK YOUR COSMIC duty to YOUR people and lead you down the wrong path!

Take Note:

SIGN OF A SELLOUT AND A TRAITOR TO OUR PEOPLE
1) They tell you they ain't African, or make SURE to tell you what they mixed with completely ignoring the fact that most likely, any "mix" came from RAPE
2) They always saying 'we' when talking about america, and will pledge allegiance to the American flag
3) They tell you that you can leave the country when you complain about the condition our people are in, and when asked about Afrika, will say,"I ain't living in no jungle"
4) They talk about how we should support gay rights, immigrant rights, and Israel's rights
5) They tell us to stop living in the past and just "get over it"
6) They call you a radical (in a bad way) and can't understand why you can't just SHUT UP AND FALL IN LINE
7) They say black entertainment television and Tyler Perry is just entertainment
8) They talk bad about natural hair and embrace Europeans hair
9) They brag about how integration helped us when its been destroying us
10) They say there is only one race and that's the human race.
11) They think rioters are 'destroying' their own neighborhoods. fool what do we own to say we destroying our stuff?
12) They defend the crackers locking us up for petty crimes and say "they shouldn't have committed it" but don't say !@#$ about how crackers commit those exact same crimes more and don't get lock up for it, or how it's THEM BRINGING THAT !@#$ IN in the first place
13)They bbq on the 4th, go to church on Easter, dress their kids for Halloween, and enjoy turkey and all the fixin's on "ThanksTaking"
14) They put jesus first before blackness (the white one)
15) They brag about their European names and act like an Afrikan name is just too damn hard to pronounce, and may even ridicule it.

In the last 2 decades of the twentieth century, the most discussed and thought-about disease, without doubt, will be Acquired Immune Deficieny Syndrome ( AIDS). Contrary to the projections of the medical establishment and the U.S. Government, confusion is generated by and is reflective of the
confusion of the European-American and European scientists. If one keeps abreast of the information released by various agencies and experts, the pattern of contradiction, conflicting 'findings', and vagueness becomes obvious. The message is clear. They simply do not know what they are talking about. The public is told repeatedly “There is no proven case in which AIDS has been transmitted by casual contact. Objects touched or handled by people with AIDS are not contaminated and need not be feared; the only possible exceptions are objects which might be contaminated with blood- especially razors, toothbrushes, tweezers.” “Don't worry, HTLV-III is an extremely fragile virus”. Yet at the same time we are told that it is ' lenti' or 'slow' with an incubation period of 7 years. Statements abound such as “there is no evidence that...” and “There is only a small risk that...” and “it is not thought that...” This phraseology is not the least reassuring. In May 1987, three nurses contracted AIDS supposedly from 'accidents' in which they touched contaminated blood samples. The point is that AIDS kills and that there is no known cure. With an incubation period of seven years ( Dr. Strecker doubles his figure) a person could be infected without knowing it or without others knowing it. This certainly limits the exact knowledge that medical science has of the disease. Therefore most lay people, and justifiably so, are not willing to take chances with speculation- scientific or not.

AIDS has been associated with the male homosexual community in the US, which is by and large of European descent but includes men of African and other non-European backgrounds. In 1985, 70-75 percent of the people with AIDS were homosexual or bisexual men; 17 percent were intravenous drug abusers. Hemophiliacs and other blood transfusion recipients are also at high risk, for obvious reasons. The retrovirus HTVL-III or AIDS-causing virus is said to be present in the body fluids of people who are infected. The virus is transmitted through exchange of bodily fluids.
What does all of this mean from an African-centered perspective, and how is it related to European behavior towards others? Suddenly Africa emerged as the 'probable' birthplace of the AIDS virus. 'Experts' on talk shows focusing on AIDS would briefly make statements to this effect, and then quickly move on to another point, never giving evidence to support such a conclusion. Homosexuality is not associated with African civilization since African cultural values place priority on female-male conjugal relationship as the basis of the 'extended' family and for the procreation of children. Yet the experts get around this: AIDS in Africa is a heterosexual disease, and the virus has a slightly different chemical composition. They begin to talk about the Green monkey as somehow being associated with the contracting of AIDS. In the minds of the American public were conjured pictures of bizarre practices in which Africans had sex with monkeys. Later it was ‘clarified’ that STVL-III (S for ‘simian’) was carried by monkeys, but that they did not die from it and that Africans could have gotten it from eating the monkeys or being bitten by them.
As of August 5, 1987, the World Health Organization (WHO) figures for known AIDS cases worldwide were 54,661 overall, 38,160 in the United states, and only 4714 in Africa. That is one reality. But on ABC’s Nightline a very different reality was created for the American public. On Wednesday night, May 13, 1987 (when the figures for Africa were even less) Ted Koppel, (with Dr. Milton Silverman, Renee Sabatier and George Strait) assaulted the international African community. The gun barrels had been reloaded. The parallels with the Tuskegee Experiment were striking in terms of the associations, arguments, and images that were presented. To a mind trained to recognize patterns of European cultural/ political behavior towards others, the game plan was clear. People of African descent were being set up as objects of ‘justified’ genocidal behavior by people of European descent. Our minds were being prepared to accept the self-fulfilling prophecy that by 1992 5 ½ million people would be infected in the motherland, and that men, women, and children of African descent in the US would be the largest group at risk.

The program began with a visual focus on people suffering and dying from AIDS in Africa (at least we were told that the disease in question was AIDS). Mothers were shown wasting away with their children around them. Projections were made of rapid growth in the number of AIDS cases in Africa by the year 2000. The number of people already infected with AIDS virus was estimated to be 10 million! The picture was one of disaster. Why did the future look so bleak for Africa? The ‘experts’ said because of ‘ cultural difference’, ‘lack of communication(lack of television sets)’, ‘sexual practices’, polygamy, and the fact that the spread of AIDS could be controlled by ‘better public understanding’.
The association was clearly made between AIDS and sexual promiscuity. The inference was that African culture in general and the practice of polygamy in particular condoned sexual promiscuity, as well as undisciplined behavior with regard to sexual relations. It does not matter that polygamy (polygyny) is not the predominant form of marriage in Africa, nor that it involves a controlled situation of sexual relations. It does not matter that the African value system placed on having children does not raid the degree of sexual promiscuity; Africans also value stable family situations that provide cultural and emotional support for children. It does not matter that traditional African culture is an extremely disciplined (compared to contemporary American society), morally ordered, kin-based and spiritually-based construct. None of these realities that abound in anthropological descriptions were made visible. Instead a white woman was shown teaching a coeducational group of 15 year old Africans how to use condoms. It does not matter that both homosexual and heterosexual prostitution were introduced by Europeans into Africa or that moral discipline breaks down with ‘Europeanization’.
The conclusion reached was the since it would be difficult (for all of the reason listed above) for European ‘experts’ to communicate with the afflicted Africans so that their ‘behavior’ could be modified through an’ understanding of the problem’ AIDS could be expected to spread at an alarming rate throughout Africa. AIDS means death. We must remember that as we listen to those arguments. According to the program, women with AIDS were not told that they had AIDS, in this case supposedly for their own protection, which hardly sounds like a program of ‘education’. The ‘protection’ program is another interesting parallel with the Tuskegee experiment. In their capacity as ‘saviors’ they are now experimenting with Africans who are ‘desperate’. Dr. Daniel Zagury, a French physician, has been experimenting in Zaire. The program portrayed involving the injection of purified AIDS virus into human beings in order to stimulate the immune system! Could that be done to Europeans? The answer is “NO”, only the cultural other.
That was the prognosis for Africa (with actually about 4,714 known AIDS cases with 43 countries reporting). By 1992 there were reportedly 5 ½ million people infected in Africa. What about the outlook for the United States ( with about 38,160 known AIDS cases)? According to Silverman we can actually be optimistic about the future of AIDS in the US. WHY? Because in America people can be educated, they can be reached through media (2 or 3 televisions in every home), and their behavior can be modified. How does he know? Because the male homosexual community in the US has already, according to Silverman and Sabatier, responded to education about the disease and demonstrated that it is possible to consciously change sexual practices through an understanding of the implications of AIDS. Americans have cause for hope! But does that include all of those who live within its boundaries?
