What does it mean when certain folk are hypercritical? Well, either you’re doing something wrong and need correcting; or they are not going to let you be a normal, fallible human being. Now, if you don’t have time and have to beat the clock then you have a friend or fiend who will be your task master. Lucky you.
Some people see only the good in themselves and see only bad in others. They see the flaws of others a mile away but can’t see the ugliness that they do. Everyone else sees their ugly habits or low character but they sure as heck don’t. But they can see yours.
These people have the limited value of the lightening that illuminates the silhouette of the elephant in a pitch black room. Maybe you didn’t want to know X but there it is. Now deal with it. And if you can deal with that you can solve how to keep your boundaries firm when living with or in close proximity with hypercritical persons. Feel free to tell them the truth about themselves in a diplomatic way. And please remember that good, friendly fences make good neighbors.

When my children were kids I’d tell them that there was a three fold responsibility for their success: their parents, their community and themselves. When we grow up, I think there is still that breakdown of who is responsible for the individual. But what is that breakdown? When we grow up it reverses to be: the individual, family and friends, the community and the larger society. Or for some it’s individual, family/friends/community then the larger society.

For an individual, family/friends, community and larger society that would equate to the individuals place within the family, etc. and the power and influence of that person in all these places and the power these realms have over or upon the individual. What is going on? This is: in these realms of influence in your life is exerted certain support or controls. The influence or power goes from the individual and from all the different spheres. It’s supposed to be two way and equal but imbalances in power exist because of evolutionary deficits and disease factors. Any ism will create an imbalance of power or responsibility. Ideally, the individual is supported by family and friends, community and larger society and the individual can contribute to their system with their positive agency. But with the contamination of isms, the system may take more from the individual and stunt the individual, or certain individual(s) might contaminate the system with a virulent psychopathy. The psychopathy and stunting could create or devolve into a negative feedback loop that confuse generations of potentially healthy individuals or damage positive/healthy systems functions or possibilities.

For some people, those that are minorities, the system that should work for them is the individual, family/friends/community, then the larger society. Since integration and the free and open society is being persistently sabotaged by the larger society, what becomes more important is for the individual and the family/friends/community to become closer and more unified and supportive and contributing of each other. Also, active appreciation and practice of one’s culture or it’s revival would be healthier and more evolutionary for the sanity of the cultural system. Being in synch with nature, supporting and studying nature, reviving and healing nature and allowing nature to heal oneself is also an optimal supportive practice and condition. Nature is actually the larger system. The larger society can be a society willing or unwilling to interact positively with world cultures and nature. The larger society can be healthy or not. The relationship between these different actors is of importance. They can be healthy and embrace change and evolution. Or they can constrict and sink into depravity. 

Being balkanized or in a siege state by an adversarial larger society can be corrosive. People who find themselves in barrios, slums or ghettoes can be reactively desperate and alienated from each other. Ghettos can be neighborhoods, nations or whole continents. There was a song called “The World is a Ghetto”. And the world is indeed becoming a ghetto for all who are not the 1%. An individual can feel isolated, lied against, trapped in their own skin and marked for suffering and death. How ‘minorities’ react or respond to their imposed condition plus their persistence determines their outcomes. During American segregation many black communities were bustling and prosperous until they were burned down by the larger community or declared areas for urban renewal and bulldozed. Farmers were lynched in one fashion or another (by kkk, lack of bank or government loans or bad faith seed companies). Individuals were also robbed of their just due wages, fees, compensation or reparations. I can only guess that the goal of the larger society is to commit slow genocide against “others”not knowing that that is the goal of the 1% for them.
In human nature, the most important bonds for an infant are it’s parents and nature. Mother Nature in the 21st century is in the bull’s eye of the larger society. Brazil’s newly elected government’s goal is to finish off the Amazon, the indigenous people and Quilombos. This will make way for more beef and gmo agribusiness. Certain of the larger society have deemed nature and diversity unnecessary. But in nature, diversity is necessary for the survival and evolution of the human species and every species. 

A person born in this world finds themselves surrounded or not surrounded by family/friends, community and/then the larger society and either find themselves supported, besieged or predated upon by their own community and/then the larger society. The natural environment and resources are shrinking and many find themselves isolated from their right to connection to the natural world and to other individuals (humanity). Most people naturally want love and health. Yet some people actually don’t want it for themselves or anyone else. These are psychopaths. They are a danger to themselves and others. They want to remake the world into their own hoarded paradise or wreak it to reflect their inner soulless world. These diseased individuals use, control, exploit, degrade, destroy and discard. In all that they do they cultivate an anti-culture of psychopathy, sociopathy and other forms of dysfunction, unnaturalness and brokenness. They lie with words and silence to compromise reality for their own gain and security. 

When you are in a kidnapping never let them move you from where the attack is taking place. Always take a stand and fight to defend all that you are and live for. We are the last generation that can correct global climate change. If we let certain folk kidnap our future then there won’t be one. The fight is to engage in the struggle for social justice, human rights and saving nature. I’ve just learned that scientist are currently saying that the earth can only sustain us as we are for 12/twelve more years. This narcissistic way of living can’t go on. The ecosystem will collapse. Are you going to allow a psychopath to take you from the only life we’ve ever known without a fight???

The first three bonds of human infancy are mother, father and nature. Or that is as it used to be. These days we have Nature Deficit Disorder, a modern illness brought about by our environment being made unsafe for us and our children to roam via psychopathic and pedophilic conditions in the society we live in. Other reasons are pollution and racism-classism. Pollution renders what’s under our feet out of reach through toxicity, degradation, concrete/asphalt and isolating distance.

Our bonds are meant to be mutually beneficial. With our parent, they care for us when we’re young and helpless. And when our parents are old, we care for them because we are strong and they must depend on our strength. The earth is always here for us. We get the support we need to live from earth’s bounty. All that earth requires of us is stewardship…active appreciation and care.

It is a shame what goes on these days. These are days of demons and hell. Hell is a place where people have short arms and long spoons. The people will only eat if they feed each other so it is hell. Everyone is hungry and angry. In heaven, people have short arms and long spoons too. But in heaven, everyone makes sure to feed one another. The conditions are the same but the choices are different. And that is our problem. The devils assuming control on earth and of humanity only want for themselves. They enforce their take, take, take greed.

There are limits to what avariciousness and goons can do. Volcanoes can be mined for diamonds, earthquake fault lines can be fracked for oil and workers can only be used up for so long. Those are thing that can’t go on forever… the limit will be reached. There is a line that can’t be crossed. There is a tipping point.

There comes a time when the earth says no. The time comes when the situation cascades into a very large grave. The grace of growing up or growing old will be over. Humanity has a choice now in whether we will be in hell or heaven here on earth. What is your choice?

opens with African music being played by an African musician who is executed gangland style by Jim Crow. Jim Crow is a stereotype of African culture that taints African representation in media. The historic persona of Jim Crow was an invention of a burnt cork, black-face wearing white actor. His name was Thomas Dartmouth Rice and in 1828 made mockery of black people, music, dance and speech to feed his career as a Minstrel stage performer.

Donald Glover is acting out the role of a white blackface character symbolic of the music industry in this music video and it’s destructive effect on black culture. From African folk music to gospel to soul and pop (Michael Jackson dance style on top of the car after James Brown styled vocal shout out “ Hit me!”) all are targeted for obliteration by a music industry that wears our skin to commit it’s terror and genocide.

The lyrics towards the end references gangster rap saying “You just a big dawg, yeah; I kenneled him in the backyard; that probably ain’t life for a dog; for a big dog.” Rap is the music industry’s attack dog. It was used to obliterate conscious rap in the 1990s. Gangster rap is used to demean black women. This divides black men and women against each other. Gangster rap popularized the reemergence of the word nigger as a form of black mis-identity. This divides the African within, mind and soul. The stereotype enslaves rather than liberates leaving us as animals chained in the enslaver’s yard.

“This is America; Don’t catch you slipping up; look what I’m whipping up”. We Africans became comfortable with the free and open society that was hard fought for by our ancestors and elders. White supremacy is pushing back more as they have not accepted being prosocial in a free and open society, They want to depraved and oppress…that’s what they’re whipping up.

The gospel choir sings “Grandma told me, get your money, Black man”. If you can make this system work in your favor go for it. There are black folk who make it and do so without incurring negative attention from the powers that be. When you successfully work the system you can’t attract negative attention or behave like Trump. Trump will get away with perversion and rape. Cosby will not. Police, IRS, the media and other agencies are not the friends of rich black folk either. You won’t be able to buy your way into white privilege or out of the Black condition.

Africans are the great grand parent of humanity. We are called animals but that is a projection of white supremacy’s cultural genocide. All the stereotypes heaped onto blacks are the vicious hallucinations of a sick twisted white society. The Jim Crow persona is being chased by a lynch mob. The stereotype has kicked in and white society physically attacks real black people that accepted the stereotype or who have this nightmare projected upon them. In our day and age, there are many black lackeys/Judas goats of the white supremacist system. African people in politics, media, or ‘leaders’ who sell ‘us’ out are just as vulnerable to lynching as the rest of us. A big dog?? When will this world be allowed to be sane??

My take on “This is America” is that it is about the white music industry and their acts of historically generating black stereotypes by white and black blackface minstrels on up to the present perversion of rap music via gangster rap to smear us with what they think of us. This stereotype is a killing joke played out in our communities via our killing each other (self hate) and whites killing us with their lynch mobs and police (cold hate).

One of the best ways to bring people together democratically is with town hall meetings. It is the initial first steps to meeting fellow citizens, community leaders, and reaching a meeting of the minds. It is one of the first stepping stones of change.

Town hall meetings are a healing process for humans and our commons. Earth is the commons now-a-days… it is a small world. The people of the earth are communities. The earth is home for all human communities. Town hall meetings are an antidote for the schisms of divide and conquer; and it’s the cure for the anomie settling into human consciousness due to our resignation to corporate enslavement of the world and people. Accepting responsibility for reality, the commons, humanity, our villages, nations, the world and our soul is the initial step in healing ourselves. Stewardship begins within the environment of town hall democracy. Town hall opens up processes of communication, learning and problem solving necessary to win-win, create consensus and evolve.

Being a human being is being a member of a family. Humanity has been or is a primitive, developing and dysfunctional family…in that order. Our best outcome will be from taking the responsibility for shaping the successful future of our large family while expanding all possibilities for evolutionary diversity and survival-thriving. The town hall meeting serves the function of a family meeting. Planning and implementing, strategizing change, assessing situations, and responding to the affairs of commons. We expand the commons democracy as a choice for human survival. Be a human being or die. It’s come down to that. Every wrong social, ethical and economic decision pushes us to the edge of a life or death choice as a people. Having a place where we can make important community decisions and reach a consensus of direction(s) and balance with peace at its core is the goal.
Town halls are supportive of healthy community development.

It, grass roots democracy, inoculates communities against slavery and destabilization (aka economic traps and tricks). We regain the proactive powers of yes, no and connection. We put ourselves in control of designing our quality of life. We are able to move forward. Town hall is a form of karma yoga where we, through unselfish action, can create solutions for ourselves and our seven generations.

I finally know what’s undermining my health. I have been suffering under an iatrogenic illness since last fall of 2017. For some odd reason I had to change my blood pressure medication. I don’t know why…a drug shortage or my coverage wouldn’t allow my continued use. Well, the Nurse Practitioner asked me if I was allergic to Lotensin and I said that my cardiologist said that I shouldn’t take it because it causes coughing. So Nurse prescribed me Benazepril.

My partner and I had to take an emergency trip to New York for family. So I was not focused on my own health but that of a family member. The coughing began gradually and increased to the point that most folk began treating me as if I had pneumonia or TB. Some folk were pretty mean about it. I’m black so the stereotype is that I’m dirty or diseased to begin with. I was a trooper, I kept my focus on helping my family.

So from October 2017 until yesterday well, day before yesterday 03/19/18 I was subject to the poison that is Lotensin. I thought I was exposed to coal dust and diesel fumes from the Amtrak train; or NYC pollution; or smoke from the Tubbs Fire. The Nurse thought I had sinusitis. I was given a 10 day course of antibiotics. When I finished it I had a case of hives. A month later, I showed up at the doctor’s office with a swollen tongue and nose. I was beginning to look like W.C. Fields. Or I thought so. I was late for the drop in appointment so no one would see me. I did tell them about the swelling but no one cared. I went home and mega-dosed on vitamin C and D3. I called an advise nurse who told me to go back to the doctor’s office so I did. The Nurse ordered test. I took the test… In any case, I’ve been getting the run around.

I started campaigning to get another medication because I finally figured out that Benazepril was Lotensin. I really feel the office was making me into a killing joke. Angioderma can be fatal if not treated. I’ve read that the swelling can become infected. I felt difficulty breathing so I mega-dosed on vitamins for relief. My observations on my contact, as a black woman, with the health care system is this: 1) I’m seen as a superwoman who can take all suffering and pain then get back to work 2) I’m seen as a hysterical liar 3)Nothing I say is worth listening to because I’m childish and inferior.
Well, I got my med changed. I called the pharmacist and asked what would be best then called the Nurse to request the change. It took over a week to get the new prescription…with too many calls from me for them to follow through. Arrgh.

I have learned that some ACE inhibitors are made with snake venom. ACE inhibitors cause coughing and secretions in the lungs and sinus. I found these secretions overwhelming. The secretions were coming out of all my orifices in many ways…coughs, vomit, diarrhea. Woe.
I guess the moral to all of this is that we must share our experiences to learn; stand up to iatrogenic dealing doctors/nurses; and Google as much as possible to aid in our self care. Good night and God bless.

Today’s the first day of spring. “Earth is Queen.” That’s what I said during and after the Loma Prieta earthquake of 1989. Suddenly, the earth was so much bigger and dynamic than I’d ever expected. I’ve lived through hurricanes in Florida as a child, Dora and Betsy are two I can remember. Waiting for a storm to blow over, you can watch it or sleep through it. But in California, seeing the ground move in waves put me in a level of shock. I’d never expected land to behave like water. Earth is in command and is forever Queen.

It is a shame that morally and mentally ill people are in majority control of society, governments and businesses. It is sad that it’s so difficult to establish and reestablish democracy or something close to being democratic in this world. And it’s strange how easy a majority of people gravitate towards evil. After generations of pruning good and sane people’s heads off with swords, axes and guns we have arrived in the 21st century. At present, Bhutan, maybe, has good governance but where else? Northern Europe made their economies wealthy via slavery and colonialism so they can afford to kick back and enjoy a stable and pleasant steady state society at a lot of folk’s expense. America’s government is in the grip of psychopathic corporate control. We have a crazy government of mostly sweaty- greedy congressmen (with very little self respect) who do the bidding of the moneyed mentally ill. These creatures are happy the Arctic is melting so they can drill oil. They can chart a course from Alaska directly over the North Pole to Europe or Asia. These folk are exuberant over the short term economic and trade ‘advantages’ of global warming.

There are elites out there intent on breathing all the air, eating up all the food, and peeing in and drinking up all the water. They don’t want us to have any of our pretty world to enjoy. Hoarding is still hoarding even when done with shit tons of money. Destroying the planet for profit will profit no one. Living in a palace surrounded by garbage isn’t quality of life…well, maybe for some parasites.

According to Wex Legal Dictionary the Public Trust Doctrine is “The principle that certain natural and cultural resources are preserved for public use, and that the government owns and must protect and maintain these resources for the public’s use.” And “The ancient laws of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian held that the sea, the shores of the sea, the air and running water was common to everyone.[2] The seashore, later defined as waters affected by the ebb and flow of the tides could not be appropriated for private use and was open to all. This principle became the law in England as well. Centuries later, the Magna Carta further strengthened public rights. At the insistence of English nobles, fishing weirs which obstructed free navigation were to be removed from rivers.” From Wikipedia, Public Trust Doctrine.

I mention the Public Trust because an organization, Our Children’s Trust, is suing the president and federal government for failure to protect the public trust for present and future generations. Twenty-one children and young people are signed on to this lawsuit. They range in age from 9years of age to 20. We are supposed to share with our future generations…that’s the normal-healthy human urge to protect the seven generations. They have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our children have rights to the public trust and the commons. I’m so proud of our youth taking a stand for their future and that of life on Earth. Recently, kids have walked out of school to command goodness from their state and federal government to protect them from school shootings and violence. Children shouldn’t have to shoulder this responsibility alone. Adults stand with your children. We must stand with our children. The future is calling.

Yesterday I saw a video put out by Institute for Middle East Understanding/IMEU on Facebook that showed an Israeli settler setting his dog on Palestinian Shepherds and their flock of sheep. Pissed off I shared that Shepherds should carry knives to defend themselves and their flocks. Then I learned that it is against the “law” in Israel for Palestinians to defend themselves. Another viewer posted a documentary made in 2017 by U.S. Army Veterans/ Veterans for Palestine. The film shows Ahed Tamimi, her family and their Palestinian community daily struggles for empowerment in a violently oppressive Israeli state. Check out this documentary here

.
Several things strike me about the Palestinian condition. It is very similar to that of Indigenous and Africans here in america. I grew up in the amerikkkan south. The brutality is very similar: dog attacks, violent police and lawless citizens not to mention the lawless government. The USA now sends “our” police to Israel for police cultural exchange and training. Look at the police brutality and murders committed here on a daily basis. In the old days, the nazis used the American paradigm to model their regime on. I see now that zionist have learned though their own historical oppression how to be violent, racist and fascist.
In israel, prisons have been built just for African immigrants. Their plan is to deport Africans to Rwanda to maintain the jewish character of israel. They say they are “proud to be racist”. I’m pretty sure that racism is not the character or the values of Jews. Einstein wasn’t a racist. Many Jews are not in the least bit racist. Israel is aberrant and betrays Jewish history and character. I have read that the Talmud tells the Jews that all other people are animals and only Jews are human. Does that teaching really come from the Talmud? That would be dangerous for Jewish thought if it’s true. That would be supremacist thinking. Zionist regularly exhibit supremacist word and deeds. Who is at the bottom of Zionist generational bud rot?? Who?
I have as much knowledge of how to heal and help Palestinians as I do for Africans and indigenous in the western hemisphere. And that is this: unite to create grass-root congresses regionally, nationally and internationally. That is it. That would work for anyone in this world that wants to free themselves from bs and tyranny. Unify, communicate and act in a positive manner to save your soul. If your government doesn’t consider you in a respectful way…start your own people’s government. The people and the land do not belong to corporations or rogue governments. Human beings are not animals or chattel. The big lie is not the law of any land. It is as it has always been…the people united will never be defeated.
The second Blog should be: “The Anthropocene Era”2/22/19
12 years until the possible collapse of the Anthropocene era and all I hear are crickets. What happened after scientist and the U.N. announced that humanity has 12 years to change our course of action to avert a climate catastrophe? People, for the most part, have gone on doing what they’ve always done…driving polluting cars, eating too much meat and buying stuff that ends up in a land fill or floating in an oceanic garbage patch. Many of us care but we’re living in an 18th century industrial age/corporate trap. You’ve got to go to work. You get paid good money to make rope for your own lynching. “I’m just doing my job.” Just like the Nazis did. So some of us are like deers in the head lights and some of us are in denial. Why are so many not heeding the call to act before it’s too late?
Some of us think the Earth can take anything, use or abuse, and like an old workhorse you can whip it until it obeys or dies. Some folk have a plan to find habitable planets, build spaceships and go kill another planet. Then, there are people who don’t believe in global warming as if it were a god you can elect to believe in. Global warming is a physical phenomenon that is scientifically proved. It’s not a vapor or a mist you can dismiss. Other people have no time. They are the 1% who want to kill the Earth for money. They’re in a hurry to make as much as they can as fast as they can. The other part of that equation is the 99%. The 99% have no time because they’re lackeys of the 1% or they’re wage slaves or actual slaves caught in the system. So these folks have no time. When I was a child old folk would say that so and so doesn’t have enough sense to save his own life. What a shame.
There are people with very tender feelings that never or rarely read or listen to the news. Many of these folk eat meat, wear clothes made by slaves, drink polluted water and take pills they don’t really know what they’re made out of. Their head is in the sand and their ass is fully exposed to danger. But if they don’t pay attention, no one will be around to help them when they suffer the price for willful ignorance.
Now, there are folk who want to solve the problem without humanity changing like they should. One group wants to block the sun in some way. It’s called solar geo-engineering. Supposedly, something artificial can cure a natural problem. Scientist from Harvard will or have introduced a substance, calcium carbonate, via weather balloon into the upper atmosphere to block the sun. They will measure the effects then weigh the side effects and risk. Human beings are so wayward a quick fix is being explored. How about we stop burning fossil fuels and stop eating so much meat/fish?
Surely human beings are intelligent enough to stop doing what is bad for us and can do what is good. Are we fossil fuel junkies? Or are we stewards of the earth? The life and health of the Earth, nature and humanity depends on our actions based in sanity, love and truth.

You listed two/2 “My Problem Began With This Medical Office”. Please eliminate one. Also, blogs weren’t listed by dates but that’s ok.JI originally requested that my website and blogs be easy to use. I hope you followed through with that request. Please. As in the beginning, I’m still a non-technical person. I look forward to ease of use. Let me know anything that makes that more possible. CJG
