Condi Rice on Torture - It Wasn't Me, it was Bush!

Stanford Students, asked Condoleezza Rice if she authorized torture ("enhanced interrogation"). Dr. Rice responds by saying in effect I did not authorize anything, it was Bush, I just conveyed the President Authorization, wow. (Video)



Condi Rice Pulls a Nixon: If the President Orders Torture, It Must be Legal. For those to young to remember the other Republican criminal president, Nixon, lets go to the Video tape.



Now, I am not a lawyer, but what Nixon said and what Dr. Rice said is the same according to my ears. This is the Republican unitary president philosophy in play. While untried and unpunished criminals are a danger to the integrity of American "justice", the Republican unitary President (King) unexposed and unchecked is also a clear and present danger.

The historical mistake was in not putting Nixon in Jail, that is why we got Bush. Nixon went to his grave thinking he was not a criminal. Republicans were able to spin their party's criminal track record and Bush and the forty thieves were imposed on the American people and the world with disastrous results.

If the highest levels of government are not held below the law than there is no chance of bringing the banksters to justice. Unless we fix this, the only people in America that will receive justice are you and me, and that is not justice, it is just us.


Blind loyalty like blind faith bears rotten fruit. The question for Americans, especially Republicans, is what are we going to do about a President and a Party who decided to break the law and torture human beings. For the first time a member of his inner circle has been broken under citizen grilling. Dr. Rice has publicly put the finger on Bush for torture.

An example must be made if we are not to repeat the errors of the past. No kings in America. I challenge you to vote in the poll below and vote on this story at Newsvine. We must keep this Remarkable Dr. Rice Bush/Nixon video in a continuous loop until the trial starts. The trial target timing should be right after "Health" Care for all is passed in 2009.

100 Days: Obama Gets "A" for Cultural Integrity

Image via Obama and Kennedy the Health Care Senator

In President Obama's first 100 days he gets an "A" for Cultural Health in general. He has also taught some important lessons in Cultural Integrity.


This is the week that our new President will reach his one hundredth day in office, how has he done. Everyone will be polling and rating his job performance during the first 100 days and making comparisons and projections. It is my job as the Cultural Health guy to rate his cultural performance.

First as a simple citizen of the USA let me give you my generic job rating, "A+". What he said he would do for the American people in the campaign is what he is doing (political integrity). The domestic focus is clear the economy, "Health" Care for all, a green future and education. Every American knows these four points of the Nation's direction. On the foreign policy front he is repairing the America's image and making new friends.


Now as an African American let me give you my Cultural Health Rating, "B". This must be understood in the context of Bush and the haters rating of "F-". Their has been a dramatic improvement in the National Cultural Health. You can feel it in the air and see it in your neighbors face even in these hard economic times of the Bush depression of 09. This is not to say that there has not been a rise in hate groups but the rise of Cultural Humanists and humanism has been greater.

Every Culturally Healthy African American who works in America especially those in corporate America, where I spent my first career, faces the challenge of how to earn a good living and maintain one's Cultural Integrity. Now this may sound odd to non AA's but trust me as a matter of Cultural Literacy it is a reality for my ethnic group.

Obama, like the Williams sisters of Tennis, has done his job for all Americans and in doing so has not denigrated, disgraced or otherwise done harm to his ethnic group. In helping all Americans he has helped his group, who could ask for more. The President has been a good example of Cultural integrity unlike some other notable Black political figures like Larry Elder, Judge Thomas or Dr. Rice. Can he keep this up, that is the $10,000 question. I will be watching and wishing him well.

Phase I (the 100 days) is done and he has won. If he gets "Health" care for all done in Phase II (the first year) he will have done more for Americans and his ethnic group then any President since Lincoln. I will be working for a win in Phase II what about you?

David Duke On The Omananation and Black People

Image via Wikipedia

David Duke the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) speaks on the Obama election. Mr. Duke has said that Obama is a good visual aid for European Americans.

What did David Duke Say in the first hour of the first Black President?


It is most edifying to listen to the Grand wizard's ("Director of the KKK") thoughts right after President Obama's election. Cultural Literacy requires that you listen to all sides in America.

Cultural Anti-Humanists in America are dumb founded by the Humanist majority standing up in 2008 and choosing the best man for the job despite his ethnicity. His election brings to some a Cultural disorientation that has caused the cloaking mechanism of many David Duke like Cultural Terrorists to fail, making them more ready detectable by basic RaceDar.

Trust me, the anti-humanists are not sitting still therefor you must keep your RaceDar in good working order.

China in Africa: Developing ties

Cultural Poisoning Alert: biased propaganda piece but very informative, look at the map of Chinese investment. What would an American map look like? Second, look at the beautiful building complex China is building for the African Union. Compare that to Africom, the military base America wants for force onto African soil. It is clear to me that one country China, has a constructive foreign policy with Africa and our country America, has a destructive foreign policy with Africa.

The question is will our new administration change our policy to the African continent.

Can Obama Fix the America's Too?

Obama is fixing our relationships in Europe and the East. This week he traveled to the Caribbean,and Latin America. Can he fix our relations with Haiti, Cuba and South America.

Cultural Health would dictate that the first African American President and the first African Latin American President would meet at an area summit.

The Presidents Travels in the America's was historic for a number of reasons.

First let us remember that Bush and the forty thieves burned down our relationships with our friends in the East like Europe and calling the leader of North Korea a short pygmy, killing the Korean unification efforts, and insulting all Asians. The Republican ugly American image did not help us east of the Atlantic, nor did it help us on this side of the ocean. Bush and the wicked Witch of the West (Dr. Rice) attacked Haiti and Venezuela and generally was an anti-humanist force in South America.

In following the President's travels this week, I got the distinct feeling that a new deal is in the air in the America's. The President opened his hand to Cuba and they reached back. Even the President of Venezuela, who called Bush the devil when he was at the UN gave President Obama a book and shook his hand.

In Obama's first hundred days he put in place phase one of the New America. His domestic policy is mapped out and transparency is in place (recovery.gov). His foreign policy for the East, as talked about in the campaign, is activated with few surprises. I submit for your consideration, that the big surprise has been his foreign policy impact on Latin America. I think this is were our President has the greatest potential for foreign policy success. Making our most natural geographic friends, our neighbors, our friends once again. What do you think?

The first family and the first dog. (Video)

Image via Wikipedia

The Bo's first official day, the first family takes him for a walk. It is interesting to contrast this first dog concept with how dogs and cats were valued in Classical African Civilization.



I have been helping my daughter find a dog. Guess what type of a dog she is going to want now?

Cultural Literacy Minute: Cats and dogs were venerated in Classical African Civilization, kemet (Ancient Egypt). Each served a useful purpose in the lives of all Kamau. Cat's would be found in most homes and the Anubis (dog) symbolizes Sebek (the left brain and logical thought)the smart and verbally sharp faculty in humans.

Link warning: The links are informative but filled with cultural poisoning so proceed with your RaceDar on.

Africa the Mother of Medicine

"I have heard that history belongs to the victors. This may be true but only on a small time scale. Truth finally catches up. Hippocrates, the Greek physician, is considered to be the father of medicine. This falsehood persists worldwide in spite of growing evidence to the contrary. If medicine does have a parent, it is East Africa. In 2009, I published an article in the Townsend Letter entitled 'The Eastern Track of Medicine: From East Africa to South India—and Beyond' to put forth my hypothesis concerning the African origin of the earlier healing traditions."

Texas Republican Disrespects Asian Names (Video)

Texas Republican Betty Brown Should Resign for Disrespecting Asian Names. Republicans continue to attempt to prevent all Americans from voting. Now they are attacking Asian Americans.

You remember when they caged millions of African Americans and Latino Americans so that they could not vote. Now they are openly attacking Asians and the Asian American community is outraged, see the video. Listen to the Asian community.




Brown and the Republican Party should apologize to the Asian American community and to all Americans for this insult. The Culturally Illiterate Rep. Betty Brown should resign and join a Cultural Health club to become culturally competent.

Cultural Literacy Minute: This is a good example of a type of Cultural Poisoning known as Name AIDS (acquired Information Deficiency Syndrome)

Cultural Health note: The Asian American naming convention, American or Americanized first name and retention of their ethnic last name, is an example that African Americans can learn from.

My name Rudy Aunk is an obvious AA example. Should Africans in America retain/restore their ethnic last name or should they retain their enslavement name?

Baracknophobia - Obey

Just in case you thought the Taliban Republicans have joined TeamAmerica and now are going to help us get American Universal Health Care for all, think again.

Only now with the advent of Potato Day has tyranny come to our shores. This a an interesting example of the new Orwellian/Rovian republican strategy called here by Jon Stewart talking crazy to power.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart	M - Th 11p / 10c
Baracknophobia - Obey
thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Economic Crisis Political Humor

It is interesting to note that Orwellian public relations theory mandates that, fear is one of the main buttons to push in order to activate the anti-humanists in America. Like 911 it can also activate anti-humanism in normal cultural humanist.

So the Bush and the forty thieves republicans are attempting to re-brand the fear image from "911-terror", to "Obama-Tyranny". The American Cultural Literacy take home note is, when you smell the "Obama-Tyranny" image remember which "American" terrorist require fumigating.

Given the cultural orientation of the Republican party, Baracknophobia is an interesting concept to contemplate from a historical Cultural Health context. in any event let us keep our eyes on the prize and not be distracted by this new "Talking Crazy to Power" tactic.
