This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.

Is it mission creep or a creepy mission? Is it Obama or Clinton creep? I am with the President, more or less, on preventing a massacre of 700,000. I would not want to see a Rwanda on his watch. However, this creep is unsettling.

Aunk commentary:
Is Libya, like in the Kennedy days of my generation, Obama's Bay of Pigs? Did the military, or worst, Britain and France talk the President into an out of control mission to kill the Libyan leader. Did Obama make a deal with Clinton, i.e. I have domestic policy which, is the top of my agenda and you have foreign policy. Is Secretary of State Clinton responsible for this creep. Whatever the case, they better be careful and close this one up early.
The new Accountable care Organizations (ACO's) will save Medicare a billion dollars and benefit patients, doctors, and hospitals. This stands in contrast to the Republican "Health" Maintenance Organizations (HMO's) created by the felon Richard Nixon. They were created, as we have President Nixion on tape saying, for the purpose of providing patients less care and criminal insurance corporations more profit.
In my opinion, this will be a massive improvement in senior care. Just the computer coordination (E-medical Record) like we have at the VA will reduce cost by a billion and immeasurably improve care. I predict that ACO's will replace HMO's in all aspects of health care and Medicare is a good place to start.

New Medicare plan: 10 things to know
The Obama administration proposed much-anticipated rules Thursday to spur changes in the way that health care for older Americans is organized and paid for. Here are key details:
Some of the out of control cops running loose killing AA citizens during the New Orleans catastrophe are finally coming to justice.
New Orleans officers sentenced in post-Katrina killing
Greg McRae was guilty of using a fire to commit a felony -- specifically, burning this car with Henry Glover's body inside.
(CNN) -- Two New Orleans police officers convicted last year in the killing of a man during the chaos following Hurricane Katrina were sentenced Thursday in federal court.
Former Officer David Warren got more than 25 years in prison, and current Officer Greg McRae was sentenced to more than 17 years, the Justice Department said.
Henry Glover in photo murdered by New Orleans Cops
31 year old Henry Glover could have been my son. Can you imagine your son being murdered by culturally poisoned criminally insane cops. 25 years and 17 years is an improvement over the no years cops historically get in the American just us system of justice for killing a African American. This comes on the heals of, what I have come to call, "the Thomas Supreme Court" ruling that a Black Man sentenced to death for killing a police officer, with most of the coerced witness recanting their stories, does not have a right to a new trial.
I do not believe in the death penalty for anyone in the American injustice system which, has proven it can so often be wrong. However, any cop that does a crime should get twice the time! These individuals should have gotten double life. Having said that, it is good to see some justice come to New Orleans, Louisiana one of the most Culturally Poisoned places in the United States that I have visited.
Could a Japanese Cloud of Death come to America? Well I just heard one of the leading nuclear experts in the world say that one reacted has melted down and the radian stuff is out and laying on the concrete floor.
She goes on to say that this will produce a mixture that can explode wiping out all of southern Japan forever. Helen Caldicott goes on to say the cloud from the explosion will not stay in Japan. Listen to the expert discussion yourself (Video)
Now add to that the fact that the New York Times is reporting elevated radiation just found in American milk and now I am starting to get concerned. Does anyone have a used Army Geiger Counter? What is a Geiger anyway?

OK, now it is official, what we all suspected was the case from this historical disgrace of a town and state. Now it is time to role up our justice sleeves and restore Ma'at in Greenwood Mississippi.
You will recall in 2010, that the African American Frederick Carter was found hanging from a tree in Greenwood Mississippi a town notorious it''s Cultural Anti-Humanists. Original story here. Join the discussion on MSNBC/Newsvine. There is also a second independent autopsy done by the family. We will need to take a close look at these results as they become available.
Let's Go To the Video Tape
Warning: Cultural Health Alert, disturbing pictures ahead, do not proceed if you are culturally sensitive.
My first reaction is, there should be on FBI agent in the town for every cultural anti-humanist man woman and child in the town.
Under normal sercumstance you would expect that the Governor of the state would step in and suspend, if not arrest the sheriff, the district Attorney and anyone else suspected of obstructing justice in this case.
However, the Governor is a Cultural Anti-Humanist himself in support of forcing all Mississippi citizens to use KKK licence plates.
This will be a major test for the President and the attorney general as a practical matter I don't see them doing much publicly on this before the 2012 Election. However, the wheels of justice should be turning. Every current and historical piece of paper in this town should be reviewed. If need be every person in the town should be interviewed by the FBI.
In the end with the facts in place justice must be served.
African Americans are more then 63% of this town, Graphic. NAACP, NUL, NAN, Rainbow, you need to be on the ground making sure every one of them is eligible and registered to vote, and votes in the next local and national election.
Finding and brining to justice the criminals involved bases on a sound investigation is important. In addition, long term Ma'at requires us to change local government and local law "enforcement".
I just subscribed to the WeAllBeTV YouTube channel I suggest our readers do the same. Great coverage WeAllBeTB! The question is, why is WeAllBeTV seeming to be the only ones covering this up close and personal. Where is MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Democracy Now, NPR, etc.
It Sounds to me like WE ALL need to BE TV. Get them Iphones and droids up and running. Get your google phone number that auto records your conversations and translates them to text for free. And stand ready to act when the call comes.
From my point of view (LifeRcise1) the body see all things you put in your mouth as one of three things. I use a Food Ankh to illustrate.
Food Ankh (envision the Ankh in its role as tripartite model )
Medicine
Nutrition
Poison
Guess how the body sees Red dye #40? I picked up a box of fruit loops like in the picture below and read the ingredients. Wow, I never saw so much artificial flavor in one place in my life. The body, through its filter the liver, tries to get rid of poison. When it is overloaded the liver is clogged and what it can't dump gets stored in cells. The toxins in cells can literally drive the cells crazy.
That the F.D.A is taking a look is interesting but remember they are part of Medical Industrial Complex (MidiPlex). Don't expect much from the FDA and don't buy or give your children anything with artificial flavor in it, I don't.
F.D.A. Panel to Consider Warnings for Artificial Food Colorings
WASHINGTON — After staunchly defending the safety of artificial food colorings, the federal government is for the first time publicly reassessing whether foods like Jell-O, Lucky Charms cereal and Minute Maid Lemonade should carry warnings that the bright artificial colorings in them worsen behavior problems like hyperactivity in some children.
The hearings signal that the growing list of studies suggesting a link between artificial colorings and behavioral changes in children has at least gotten regulators’ attention — and, for consumer advocates, that in itself is a victory.
In a concluding report, staff scientists from the F.D.A. wrote that while typical children might be unaffected by the dyes, those with behavioral disorders might have their conditions “exacerbated by exposure to a number of substances in food, including, but not limited to, synthetic color additives.”
The local Drug dealers (Drug store) has Isles of so called OTC cold "medicine". But no one from MediPlext mentions my experience that Vitamin D prevents colds. My Vit D blood level is 94.5 ng/ml. At that level I have never seen a cold and I keep my family's level up too, how about you.
Democratic Health Reform is not just about sick care but helping Americans take responsibility for our own Health Care.
Do I think J&J would be doing a recall if we had a Republican President, not likely. Pay attention in 2012, the life you save could be your own.

Another Tylenol Recall
It’s yet another recall from the makers of Tylenol.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, announced Tuesday afternoon that it was recalling more of its over-the-counter Tylenol products. In a statement, the company said that it was conducting a voluntary consumer recall of one product lot of eight-hour extended-release caplets because of a “musty or moldy odor.”
About 718,000 bottles or packages of Tylenol, Benadryl and Sudafed products were involved in the recall. Here’s a complete list of affected products.
There is much discussion about the Geopolitics of the President's actions. Some have asked about the political implications, did he go to congress, how will this effect the 2012 election, etc. Here we will take an AA's look at the Cultural Health implications for the President. (Video)
In case you missed it, his relatively short remarks started a 7:30 EST last night.
Let's Go To The Video Tape
I did a piece on the potential Cultural Health implications of attacking Libya before the Presidents explanation of his reasoning.
CULTURAL HEALTH ALERT: if you get upset when you hear Farrakhan do not proceed to the link.
Click here for my pre-speech thoughts. Now these are my thoughts after the President's speech.
I watched the President's explanation of why he acted in the Libya crisis. First the good news. Obama said after 9 days of military action, he did not use the word war, we will be out of the lead on Wednesday when NATO takes over. He believed a town of 700,000 was about to be massacred. To stop it was in ournational interestand consistent with ourvalues. Regarding ourinterestedhe side the massacre would create a regional refugee problem that could destabilize Libya' neighbors Egypt and Tunisia who are in transition as we speak. Onvalues, he said that military action was necessary to stop a massacre similar to Bosnia and Rwanda. He also pointed to this as a UN based world warning shot to others that would turn military might against their own people to stay in power. The President indicate he would like to see Gaddafi step down and the people elect who they want to lead them it is not the US mission to kill Gaddafi. On regional interests and values, mostly on values, I tend to except his explanation and view this as a positive development pending more information. I admit I am Culturally Illiterate regarding Libya and its history but I know Gaddafi to be a friend to Black People world wide, a secularist and an enemy of Muslim extremest. It is important to notewhat was not said, The West and the Arab block was united but the President did not get a green light from the African Union or the rest of the world. There was no mention of Oil or the British blood lust. It turns out that the Republican Ronald Reagan in 1986 attacked the same African country, for a different reason, I think.
Questions: 1. How long do we stay -end game? 2. What does it cost? 3. Is this a military action "add on" to the Obama Doctrine of people make change, an antidote to the a Gaddafi doctrine of power prevents change? 4. Will this new values based military action (no fly air only) to save civilians be applied to other parts of Africa like Congo? 5. What are the Cultural Health implications? The bottom line is, I came away from the President's explanation not as against his action as I went into the speech.
My question to you is what did you think before and after the speech?
African Americans did not automatically support Obama for President. You will recall they looked at him closely to understand that he was not a Cultural Traitor like Clarance Thomas, before they threw their support behind him. And we will be watching his actions closely with regard to Libya (Video)
The honorable Minister Farrakhan warns, advises Obama on Libya
I voted for the President and if you know my writing you know I am a strong supporter of our President. However, I disagree regarding his policy on Libya as I understand it today. I hired him to end the two Bush wars not to start a third war, especially not to attack Africa.
Qaddafi is no Saddam Hussein i.e. an American Bush CIA puppet gone rouge. Qaddafi describes himself as an African not an Arab. He help us in South Africa. He is for a United States of Africa which I support as the future of Africa in the Global Village. He has sent money to AA causes here in the United states and built much for his people out of oil profits.
Unlike Egypt's natural non-violent uprising, I suspect that the violent Libya insurgency is a combination of Islam extremest, who don't like this secular African President, and the CIA, British, French subversion of natural decent. Not unlike what Bush and the forty thieves did in Venezuela.
"...I warn my brother don't you let these wicked demons move you in a direction that will absolutely ruin your future with your people in Africa and throughout the world..."
This is good advise and the President would be wise to listen. Like before the election, the 2 billion+ Black People worldwide are watching Libya and the President's actions as they relate to Cultural Health. Politics aside this is a very culturally risky situation.
I hear the President is not for assassination like the historically murderous British area. Germany has pulled out of the alliance because of the murderous intentions of the Brits.
Bush led the Brits down a no win war rat hole and they are trying to return the favor, Mr. President don't bite.
Whether you agree with Farrakhan as a person or not, he has made some important points and laid out some facts that need to be put in the peace piped and smoked.
"...Why don't you organize a group of respected Americans and ask for a meeting with Qaddafi..."
Unfortunately this is not a political practicality in the reality of Tea Party extreme Republican politics. But it has the ring of a peaceful thing that could produce positive results on the continent and around the world.
How many of you think the Libya attack was a Clinton thing, that Obama reluctantly went along with because he cut a deal with the Clinton's to let them run foreign policy while he focused on his main domestic goals like Health Care Reform?
I will be watching the President's speech tonight on Libya policy to better understand his role,how about you.
U.S. consumer spending rose 0.7% in February, the largest increase since October and the eighth straight month of gains, easing some worries about the economic recovery.
After adjusting for inflation—factoring out such things as the jump in gas prices—consumption rose 0.3%, the Commerce Department said Monday.
"Consumers could have endured these higher [gasoline] prices by cutting back on discretionary purchases, but they did not," said Ken Mayland, president of ClearView Economics.
The pickup in spending came as personal income rose by 0.3% last month, though higher prices sapped the gains. The saving rate, meanwhile, slid to 5.8%.
Congress and the Obama administration in December agreed to extend income tax cuts for Americans. The tax relief has fattened paychecks, providing consumers a cushion against rising gasoline prices.
Have you seen that little black square that looks like a bar code on drugs? Well you can make them and use them for free, but you have to know what they are first.
A confused crossword puzzle. A psychedelic postage stamp. A bar code on drugs
This is how a QR, or Quick Response, code may appear to most people. You may have noticed these black-and-white squares showing up in subway ads or in pages of magazines. Thanks to our growing addiction to our smartphones, you'll likely be seeing more of them.
QR codes are showing up in more and more places: posters, storefront window displays, TV advertisements, business cards, websites and even on T-shirts. When accessed with your phone, a QR code takes you to a landing page where you'll usually find special promotional content.
Here's how they work:
First, you must download a QR scanning application for your smartphone. When you see a QR code on a poster or billboard, open the scanning app and use the phone's camera to focus the code on your screen. The application will recognize the code and automatically open up the link, video or image in your phone's browser. You just need an internet connection to access the content.
Many QR scanning applications -- RedLaser is a popular one -- are available for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian phones. Anyone can generate their own QR code for free. And you can link it to anything -- from URLs to contact information to your GPS location.
Brands and companies are increasingly taking advantage of this relatively low-cost marketing tool. Last year, the animated movie "9" was promoted with green posters containing only a large QR code that took users to a new trailer and special features.
A recent issue of Wired magazine included an ad by watchmaker Tag Heuer that contained a QR code that led users to images of its latest collection of timepieces. Magazine ads have used QR codes to promote everything from hair-care products to sheepskin boots to diamonds.
I do not think the honorable Belafonte spoke "harsh" words for Barack Obama. I think he stated a political reality that all Americans need to know about our Presidents.
I hired the President to do three things 1. End Bush wars, 2. Pass Health Reform 3. Fix economy with a green moon shot, he is doing all three. It is we the people that must give him the juice to get the job done.
Hitfix Interview: Harry Belafonte and his harsh words for Barack Obama
PARK CITY - One of the most stirring documentaries making the rounds at the Sundance Film Festival this year is “Sing Your Song,” a film about the life of Harry Belafonte. While the movie traces his musical career, its focus is his life-long role as a civil rights leader and humanitarian and as someone who has never feared speaking truth to power. It shows him walking side-by-side with Martin Luther King Jr., gently chiding the Kennedys for dragging their feet in supporting civil rights, rebuking Bill Clinton for his actions in Haiti, and celebrating Nelson Mandela’s release from prison.
His actions have come at a cost: the FBI spied on him relentlessly and ultimately broke up his first marriage. He’s been chased by the Ku Klux Klan and threatened many times.
Give me your assessment of Pres. Obama and where you feel we are right now.
I’m very proud that he’s in office, but that’s about it. What I now understand is without us being completely active and engaged and taking charge, he will not move. This happened before. John Kennedy became John Kennedy because of the Civil Rights Movement. History made John Kennedy more than John Kennedy made history with the peace movement of the time, the civil rights movement, what young people did. When we got active, the president stepped into the space and did what he had to do. So did Johnson and I think the same thing is necessary for Barack Obama.
If he doesn’t have an active society, if he doesn’t have an active Black community, if he doesn’t have an active Native American community, if he doesn’t have an active women’s community, he doesn’t have to do anything but duck bullets from the opposition. And he should stop ducking and we should start rallying around him and give him things to work with. If I gave him things to work with and he failed, I can attack him.
Geraldine Ferraro Dies At 75 failing to apologizes to the American people or the AA community. As a VP candidate, Ferraro was the Democratic Sarah Palin of old. Ferraro faced two dis-eases. She died of of blood cancer but also suffered from Cultural Poisoning.
I send my condolences to her family and friends. It is an ancient African tradition that we must all learn from the life of our public figures, good and not so good, as they leave this plane. This is done not to throw stones, but that our lives are better having understood the full measure of the person.
Having said that, I think America would have been standing on sounder ground if Mondale Ferraro won in 1984, instead of Reagan Bush. The Dem team with its faults, would not have attacked the unions and womans rights as the Republicans have.

Geraldine Ferraro Dies At 75, A Trailblazing, Controversial VP Candidate
On November 6, 1984, Geraldine Ferraro, the nation’s first woman vice presidential candidate, along with running mate Walter Mondale for president, lost the race in a landslide to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Today she died at age 75 at Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was being treated for blood cancer.

It’s Tracking Your Every Move and You May Not Even Know
A favorite pastime of Internet users is to share their location: services like Google Latitude can inform friends when you are nearby; another, Foursquare, has turned reporting these updates into a game.
But as a German Green party politician, Malte Spitz, recently learned, we are already continually being tracked whether we volunteer to be or not. Cellphone companies do not typically divulge how much information they collect, so Mr. Spitz went to court to find out exactly what his cellphone company, Deutsche Telekom, knew about his whereabouts.
The results were astounding. In a six-month period — from Aug 31, 2009, to Feb. 28, 2010, Deutsche Telekom had recorded and saved his longitude and latitude coordinates more than 35,000 times. It traced him from a train on the way to Erlangen at the start through to that last night, when he was home in Berlin.
See this slide show of the six Black Superfoods that everyone should know about. Here is another health related list you should also know about. They are foods you know and should stay away from.
The Five Deadly Whites
1. White Sugar (limit refined sugar)
2. White Salt (can cause High Blood Pressure)
3. White Potato's (High glycemic index)
4. White Rice (High Glycemic index)
5. White Bread (High Glycemic index) I call it diabetes bread
I stopped eating the Deadly Whites a long time ago. I will now start looking for the items in the Black Superfoods list which, is new to me. If you want to see what the act of stopping eating from the deadly list can do for you, check me out at my lifeRcise1 channel on YouTube.
Black Superfoods: Black Is The New Green
Green veggies have long been hailed as the go-to good-for-you food, but dark fruits, veggies, and grains are nutritional powerhouses, too. Their color comes from anthocyanins, plant pigments that may help lower the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Black Rice
In fact, "black foods have more antioxidants than light-colored foods because of their high pigment content," says Cy Lee, Ph.D., a professor of food chemistry at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Can't find one of these deep-hued superfoods at your local supermarket? Try natural-foods stores and ethnic groceries.
The Six Supper Blacks
1. Black Rice (Brown rice is good, but black rice is better)
2. Black Beans (Packed with anti-cancer bioflavonoids)
3. Black Lentils (Natural source of Iron. fiber, lower cholesterol)
4. Black soybeans ( Reduce the risk of blood clots and hart disease)
5. Blackberries (Anti-ageing Polyphenols and supper rich in fiber)
6. Black Tea (reduces muscle soreness after a good work out at the gym)
Note: The Tea Big Three: Green Tea (anti-cancer) White Tea (boost immune system) Black Tea (for muscle pain)
Mississippi Medical Examiner Signs Off On Frederick Jermaine Carter’s Autopsy Results, indicates the family should have the results some time this week. (Audio/video)
WEALLBE News spoke with Dr. Adel Shaker, the Deputy Medical Examiner for the state of Mississippi.In an exclusive interview with WEALLBE News, Dr. Shaker has revealed that he signed off on the official first autopsy results on Frederick Jermaine Carter today 3/22/2011.
You will recall in 2010, that the African American Frederick Carter was found hanging from a tree in Greenwood Mississippi a town notorious it''s Cultural Anti-Humanists. Original story here. Join the discussion on MSNBC/Newsvine. There is also a second independent autopsy done by the family. We will need to take a close look at these results as they become available.
Alexandra Wallace,European American UCLA student who created the offensive Asians in the library viral video withdrawing from school under cultural Pressure. (Video)
Here is the story, You have to hear this to believe that a young women could be so culturally poisoned at to throw away all her hard work at university. This dis-ease can be very costly if not caught in time. Cultural Poisoning does not pay.
LET's Go To The Video Tape
If you type in Asians in the Library into YouTube you will find that millions have watched this video, versions of it, or commentary on it. Now, if Africans could product this type of response when someone uses the "N" word. These are my thoughts on the matter as first published on MSNBC/Newsvine.
Hetep and Respect PK Siclair,
but for this girl to make a video and express such unintelligent, misguided thoughts and post it on YouTube is inappropriate and, yes, racist.
" So we know that I am not the most "politically Correct" person" These Republican Social Conservative code words suggest that she is from a hard core Cultural Anti-humanist family.
You are right, if the parents suffer the dis-ease and it is not corrected the children will catch it. And if the dis-ease is severe enough, the children in a dangerous state of Cultural disorientation might get on YouTube and try, like a deranged AIDs patient, to spread the dis-ease.
"Old" Asian people, denotes the absence of the concept of elders. In the West the culture calls senior members of their society old people. In the Central Worldview (African) and the Eastern Worldview (Asian) Senior members of society are thought of as honored elders. There is a big difference in cultural orientation with respect to experience and wisdom in the Western Worldview compared to the Majority Worldviews in the world.
"...They don't teach their kids to fen for themselves..." an example of the Western excessive individualism core value. The communal value of high regard for family friends and fellow citizens is not in this persons spirit. Want to bet that she and her parents are also against ACA that give health care access to 33 million of her fellow Americans.
Now the danger is to this young lady's children? What will she teach them? What will be their state of Cultural Health?
On a positive note:
Behind the cultural poisoning is a valid point, you should not be on the phone in the library, especially not during finals. She was civil in her response with the "shsss".
Her fellow students, in the majority at the school, recognized the Cultural Poisoning even if they did not call it that and applied appropriate corrective cultural pressure. She got a similar dose of Cultural Pressure on YouTube itself from around the world.
The good news is that UCLA is a more culturally health place today then in my day, and so is the world.
The question is, did this young girl learn from her cultural poisoning symptoms being exposed?
P.S. here is an Asian American trying in a light hearted way to hold a Cultural Poisoning mirror up to Alexandra Wallace. White Girls in The Library (just in case you thought Asians were not offended by the denigration of their ethnic group).
For my AA brothers and sisters you will note that you do not see Asian Americans denigrating themselves. They do not call themselves the ".."N" Word..." and make it known when they or their group is disrespected, The ball is in your court. You get respect if you give it, to yourself first.
