MLK Jr. & Roots...
2 of the greatest works of plagiarist American fiction...given "Black passes" by guilty White liberals and crafty, anti-American Jews?
MLK Jr.
Dear Cecil:
What is the straight dope on Martin Luther King, Jr.? Did he plagiarize most of his writing, including his Ph.D. thesis?
- Roy Greene, Frederick, Maryland Did he plagiarize most of his writings? He plagiarized a lot of them. An investigation conducted by Boston University, where King got his Ph.D. in theology, determined that he had appropriated roughly a third of his doctoral thesis from a dissertation written three years earlier by another graduate student. Curiously, the same faculty member had been "first reader" of both theses, leading some to wonder whether King's faculty advisers at BU were incompetent or just guilty white liberals who gave a promising young black leader a pass. King also "borrowed" portions of many other writings and speeches, including the famous "I have a dream" speech he gave at the 1963 civil rights rally in Washington.
The media paid scant attention to the suit and even then failed to explore the real gist of the scandal: namely that the author of a "nonfiction" book plagiarized from a fictional one.
What Haley did not steal in his slave novel based on a bogus seven–generation family tree stretching back to Africa, he simply made up. And the shady house of Doubleday dared to market the fakery, and still does with all stolen passages intact, as non–fiction! As a plagiarist, Haley was insatiable. Desperate to complete a book several years beyond deadline and already sold to Hollywood, he devoured Harold Courlander's novel, "The African," and Margaret Walker's novel, "Jubilee," for characters, plots and scene after scene. Both sued. Both proved copyright infringement beyond a reasonable doubt. Courlander walked off with a $650,000 settlement after Haley perjured himself on the stand. Walker, victim of a biased federal judge who thought Haley was above suspicion, lost on summary judgement.
In the history department, Haley was a fabulous flimflammer. Kunta Kinte, his alleged African forebear, was a multi–million dollar grift dreamt up with Gambian government officials hoping to create a tourist trap for gullible African Americans. None of this is disputed. Everything is backed up by an arsenal of smoking guns left behind in Haley's posthumous papers at the University of Tennessee.
What did the all–white, all–male, 1977 Pulitzer Board know about "Roots" and when did they know it? A week before the announcement, the Sunday Times of London and then the New York Times exposed Haley's African fieldwork as a charade and sank his claim to genealogical fame. Nonetheless, the Board shamelessly jumped on the "Roots" bandwagon and stamped a known counterfeit as a classic. Chairman Russell won't endorse a "formal denunciation" of Haley, but he is scarcely naïve about the fiasco committed by the 1977 Board, which he mocked in a 1988 letter as "a Jonsonian comedy of so many citizens being so thoroughly hoaxed."
Rev. Billy Graham openly voiced a belief that Jews control the American media, calling it a "stranglehold" during a 1972 conversation with President Richard Nixon, according to a tape of the Oval Office meeting released Thursday by the National Archives. "This stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain," the nation's best-known preacher declared as he agreed with a stream of bigoted Nixon comments about Jews and their perceived influence in American life. "You believe that?" Nixon says after the "stranglehold" comment. Yes, sir," Graham says. "Oh, boy," replies Nixon. "So do I. I can't ever say that but I believe it." "No, but if you get elected a second time, then we might be able to do something," Graham replies.
The House Judiciary Committee, controlled by Democrats, opened impeachment hearings against the President on May 9, 1974.
Many of you, like me, are nodding your heads in agreement with the recently released "secret" Nixon tapes where he and Reverend Billy Graham discuss the undue power that the Jews, a 3% minority, have over this nation. Graham actually said of the Jews controlling the media: "This stranglehold has to be broken or the country's going down the drain." Haldeman, a Nixon bigwig, told Graham that since he was meeting with the Jewish editors of Time, he better "take your Jewish beanie." Nixon, who is dismissed as "paranoid," (even though they really were after him) discussed the Jewish domination of all facets of government as well as the media. Many of our past presidents have, but since the Jews have tightened their stranglehold on our nation's power centers, few have dared to say it out loud.
Many of the men we regard as founding fathers looked upon Jews as an entity with extreme suspicion, as did their ancestors in the old country. To reveal these statements all at once from all of these men would be political suicide for the Jews, and gentile historians don't want the feel the Jews' wrath. Our founding fathers were enlightened, brilliant, individualistic, God-fearing and fair-minded men. What would cause them to view an entire race/religion with such fear and loathing? They understood the Jews' pattern of destruction, and as time goes on, it becomes more and more evident to free-thinking individuals that they were right.
The average American allots about one minute of thinking time (independent of the Jewish-controlled media) to the issue of Jews, although in the Jews' hands is the future of this nation, and probably the world. It is a demonstrable fact that a huge percentage of the world's economy (such as banks we all owe money to) is in Jewish hands, as well as anything which forms opinions, such as Hollywood and the mass media. Or the American government, whose pandering to Jews is so blatant it's embarrassing. Americans tend to mindlessly believe that Jews were persecuted for no reason at all or because of religious bigotry. That is what the Jewish-controlled media and Jewish-controlled Hollywood claim. And yes, both are Jewish controlled by their own admission (when it suits them).
I used to believe the Jews were eternally innocent of all wrongdoing and that my own people were the devil race incarnate. That was an acceptable belief, but to question the Jews, even as they killed Palestine's youth, was "anti-Semitic." I found, through independent research, that the so-called anti-Semites were correct. Perhaps some are crude about it, but their points about Jewish control of this country are documented facts -- there for anyone to find. But most people lack the courage to go down that road. Their silence may end up costing us our right to free speech. The power the Jews wield is downright scary. Their financial power is so entrenched and absolute they could bust our economy overnight. They own about 75% of the nation's media, and certainly the media that get the most circulation. They control not only our money and our government through AIPAC, ADL, etc., they control our very minds. They decide most of what we hear and see although they are less than 1% of the world's population, and only about 3% of the United States'. Yet our foreign and domestic policy is based on what is good for the Jews.
My education on the Jews is limited, but what I do know could easily fill a book. That is how deep this question goes. Understanding Jewish domination of this decaying society is literally vital to the survival of our people and civilization, as well as to the Arab world. We must all learn and speak out before our right to speak the truth is outlawed.
It's a red herring. Not pointless...but just another diversion away from our top priority. Like abortion or gay marriage. An emotional wedge issue to keep the debate away from the real ones. And what might those be? Well for starters, how about the $11+ trillion iceberg staring us in the face right now? Which if it doesn't get solved, will eliminate ALL of these programs.
But see, while Obama has got all you fools squabbling over health care, he has got you NOT clucking over our Himalayan mountain of debt! That threatens to capsize us like the Titanic, as our band plays on!
Hey Mr. President...how about you FIRST figure out how to get us out of DEBT...BEFORE you decide how to spend all this money that WE DON'T HAVE???!!! First things first, right?
Now, considering that universal health care is projected to cost $1.5 trillion over the next decade...maybe we should pay back our debts and amass a $1.5 trillion surplus BEFORE we discuss how we're going to blow it?
So, why the avoidance of the topic, Obama? When are we going to hear your plan to tackle our national debt??? IMO, that should be our FIRST order of business right now. A rough, initial schedule going something like this:
1) Develop a plan to pay off all our national debt and regain solvency. This may include a Constitutional Amendment forbidding operating in debt, with minor exceptions in absolute emergencies. 2) We should immediately pull back all our military, except for the smallest skeleton crews in key locations. And start spending our defense budget on building up our own country...instead of blowing Arab ones up. 3) Audit the FRB and replace their fractional fiat currency with a metal-backed US currency. Just like JFK tried to do with Executive Order 11110. 4) We need to vastly streamline all our supersized government programs and get back in financial shape. Basically, we need to go on a financial diet. 5) All health care reform plans should be developed using computer simulations with actual actuarial data plugged in. This will allow a more scientific evaluation, fair comparison and much less open speculation.
ATLAH Pastor James David Manning claims Obama is a charismatic false Messiah sent by the Devil who was elected due to racist White guilt, who has hidden his questionable "qualifications" and largely ignored the Black community after taking office.
PHOENIX – About a dozen people carrying guns, including one with a military-style rifle, milled among protesters outside the convention center where President Barack Obama was giving a speech Monday — the latest incident in which protesters have openly displayed firearms near the president.
Gun-rights advocates say they're exercising their constitutional right to bear arms and protest
The man with the rifle declined to be identified but told The Arizona Republic that he was carrying the assault weapon because he could. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms," he said.
Last week, during Obama's health care town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., a man carrying a sign reading "It is time to water the tree of liberty" stood outside with a pistol strapped to his leg.
Arizona is an "open-carry" state, which means anyone legally allowed to have a firearm can carry it in public as long as it's visible. Only someone carrying a concealed weapon is required to have a permit.

From an entrepreneur who has actually successfully-marketed his healthy lifestyle to the masses:
"The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money." — Margaret Thatcher
With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people’s money. These deficits are simply not sustainable. They are either going to result in unprecedented new taxes and inflation, or they will bankrupt us.
While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system. Instead, we should be trying to achieve reforms by moving in the opposite direction—toward less government control and more individual empowerment.
1) Remove the legal obstacles that slow the creation of high-deductible health insurance plans and health savings accounts (HSAs). The combination of high-deductible health insurance and HSAs is one solution that could solve many of our health-care problems. For example, Whole Foods Market pays 100% of the premiums for all our team members who work 30 hours or more per week (about 89% of all team members) for our high-deductible health-insurance plan. We also provide up to $1,800 per year in additional health-care dollars through deposits into employees’ Personal Wellness Accounts to spend as they choose on their own health and wellness.
2) Equalize the tax laws so that that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have the same tax benefits. Now employer health insurance benefits are fully tax deductible, but individual health insurance is not. This is unfair.
3) Repeal all state laws which prevent insurance companies from competing across state lines. We should all have the legal right to purchase health insurance from any insurance company in any state and we should be able use that insurance wherever we live. Health insurance should be portable.
4) Repeal government mandates regarding what insurance companies must cover. These mandates have increased the cost of health insurance by billions of dollars. What is insured and what is not insured should be determined by individual customer preferences and not through special-interest lobbying.
5) Enact tort reform to end the ruinous lawsuits that force doctors to pay insurance costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. These costs are passed back to us through much higher prices for health care.
6) Make costs transparent so that consumers understand what health-care treatments cost. How many people know the total cost of their last doctor’s visit and how that total breaks down? What other goods or services do we buy without knowing how much they will cost us?
7) Enact Medicare reform. We need to face up to the actuarial fact that Medicare is heading towards bankruptcy and enact reforms that create greater patient empowerment, choice and responsibility.
8) Finally, revise tax forms to make it easier for individuals to make a voluntary, tax-deductible donation to help the millions of people who have no insurance and aren’t covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.
Many promoters of health-care reform believe that people have an intrinsic ethical right to health care—to equal access to doctors, medicines and hospitals. While all of us empathize with those who are sick, how can we say that all people have more of an intrinsic right to health care than they have to food or shelter?
Health care is a service that we all need, but just like food and shelter it is best provided through voluntary and mutually beneficial market exchanges. A careful reading of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will not reveal any intrinsic right to health care, food or shelter. That’s because there isn’t any. This “right” has never existed in America
Even in countries like Canada and the U.K., there is no intrinsic right to health care. Rather, citizens in these countries are told by government bureaucrats what health-care treatments they are eligible to receive and when they can receive them. All countries with socialized medicine ration health care by forcing their citizens to wait in lines to receive scarce treatments.
Although Canada has a population smaller than California, 830,000 Canadians are currently waiting to be admitted to a hospital or to get treatment, according to a report last month in Investor’s Business Daily. In England, the waiting list is 1.8 million.
At Whole Foods we allow our team members to vote on what benefits they most want the company to fund. Our Canadian and British employees express their benefit preferences very clearly—they want supplemental health-care dollars that they can control and spend themselves without permission from their governments. Why would they want such additional health-care benefit dollars if they already have an “intrinsic right to health care”? The answer is clear—no such right truly exists in either Canada or the U.K.—or in any other country.
Rather than increase government spending and control, we need to address the root causes of poor health. This begins with the realization that every American adult is responsible for his or her own health.
Recent scientific and medical evidence shows that a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense and low-fat will help prevent and often reverse most degenerative diseases that kill us and are expensive to treat. We should be able to live largely disease-free lives until we are well into our 90s and even past 100 years of age.
Health-care reform is very important. Whatever reforms are enacted it is essential that they be financially responsible, and that we have the freedom to choose doctors and the health-care services that best suit our own unique set of lifestyle choices. We are all responsible for our own lives and our own health. We should take that responsibility very seriously and use our freedom to make wise lifestyle choices that will protect our health. Doing so will enrich our lives and will help create a vibrant and sustainable American society. - Mr. John Mackey is co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market Inc.
Gee, sounds like a far more sensible & economical approach - emphasizing personal responsibility & healthy lifestyles. Maybe the real reform we need here then is personal & cultural, not governmental? So, why isn't this smart Plan A on our national agenda??? Instead of encouraging personal negligence and huge tax & spend programs enabling millions of supersized, freeloading fast food junkies?
"You can't tell us how you're going to pay for this," said the man, who identified himself as Randy from Ekalaka. "The only way you're going to get that money is to raise our taxes. You said you wouldn't. ... But that's the only way you can do that."
Obama agreed that he couldn't insure the estimated 46 million uninsured Americans for free.
Yes Obama...how are you going to pay for all these people...including a tsunami of illegales and rapidly-aging Baby Boomers flooding the healthcare system over the next decade???
But in many ways, illegal immigration is at the nexus of two key health issues: the uninsured and ballooning costs.
Roughly half of the 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. don't have health insurance, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group. Like others who can't afford medical care, illegal immigrants tend to flock to hospital emergency rooms, which, under a 1986 law, can't turn people away, even if they can't pay. Emergency-room visits, where treatment costs are much higher than in clinics, jumped 32% nationally between 1996 and 2006, the latest data available.
The role illegal immigrants play in U.S. health-care costs is "one hot button that no one wants to touch," says Stephen Zuckerman, an economist at the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington.
Many Black men have bought into their own hype as irresistible sex machines sexually-entitled to ALL women, particularly White women. Whom they view as racially-superior and thus, their ultimate prize trophy.
Meanwhile, many White women have bought into their own hype as being the hottest women on Earth, and enjoy attention-whoring their sex appeal like a video game. A shorter skirt and a little flirtatiousness always go a looongg ways towards making life muuuch easier for them - even if they don't have to actually put out.
So, what happens when these 2 overhyped stereotypes collide? When a sexual egomaniac meets a professional cock tease? Well, things can get a little ugly...
Essentially, our wannabe Lothario overinterprets scripted flirtatiousness here for a genuine come-on, like a starving dog in heat. Meanwhile, our naive little whore is suddenly realizing that casually sport-flirting with Black men...could actually get her raped!
On June 25th, Cagepotato.com reporter Heather Nichols interviewed UFC's Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and things quickly got out of control. Simply put, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson began to simulate sexual intercourse with Heather Nichols - and he wouldn't stop. Heather Nichols told SI.com that she was "shocked" by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's boorish behavior. She says that initially, she played along with "Rampage" Jackson because she thought he was just trying to be funny, but, after the first 10 seconds or so, she started to feel very uncomfortable. In fact, she told SI.com that she started to "freak out."
When SI.com asked Heather Nichols if Quinton "Rampage" Jackson had apologized for his reprehensible behavior, she said, "No, not at all. He was very, very pleased with himself."
Stumble It!
