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.

Yes, the Republican Sarah Palin had a response to the SOTUS too. It gives you a hint at what her State of the Union message would be like if you elected her President. In case you did not hear about the Palin WTF statement and spubnuts, seeing is believing (Video)
Let's Go to the Video Tape
I have joined February is a Sarah Paling Free month, so this is the last post about Sister Sarah for a wile. If there is a God, please let the Republicans run Sarah in 2012.
If you want the facts Click Here There are actually some serious Republicans.
The most important thing to take place this week was the President's state of the union address. I am confident it will be marked as the most important high tech speech in the history of the nation. The speech was historic, not just because it set visionary goals from high speed trains to high speed Internet, but because it actually used new technology as part of the SOTU address for the first time in history. (Video)
The theme of the speech was winning the future. The President painted a clear picture of the present and wove a hopeful vision with specific goals for our future. How did the technology fit in, when the President said something that a visual could enhance a graph appeared next to the President. Example: when the President said we broke the back of the recession the fact check jobs graph showing job growth was there in clear support of his words. See the split screen shot from the video Below
I saw the speech without the fact check Power Point Presentation. In case you missed the high tech version of the speech here it is. What do you think, do the graphics add to the presentation or detract from it?
Let's Go to The Video Tape
Some have been concerned about the growing executive Power Point abuse, this is not what we saw. The graphics ran in parallel and is only activated were there is value added to the words. Nor was it the over done Ross Perot paper flip charts of the past. I think they hit just the right mix for the internet stream and present day computer literacy.
In addition, the President continued his open government initiative by making senior government officials available for the first time to answer SOTU questions from the citizens on Facebook and twitter. The President answered questions on Youtube and the Vice President answered questions on Yahoo. Wow, this is on top of them sending me the first DNC membership card I ever heard of in the mail. I carry it in my wallet as we speak. I also received email updates on SOTU leading up to speech day, Talk about a week of connecting Government to the people, I'm impressed. Click here to see how this worked.
The most important part of the speech that history will recall is, the part were like Kennedy in the 20th Century, Obama set America's goal for the 21st Century - Winning the Future - How? By out innovating, out educating and out building the world.
My take home, along with the important vision and goals for our future, is the fact that with all our challenges we are still by far the biggest economy in the world. I am joyful that I am an American citizen at this historic time. The President left me thinking of how I can contribute to our sputnik moment. During the first moon shot I made technology contributions. During this Green Moon Shot I will make health contributions. How about you?
We hired a smart guy to move our country forward. He is historically activating technology not just in his speeches and in his vision for our future but as a practical matter. On the ground he used the technology to make 1 million white House visits not secret, but public, lobbyist and all on line. I can follow most important White House activity on my portable communication device (Iphone) With my White House app. Last but not least, I will have access to my Veterans Electronic Medical Records as the President said. I have completed the online sign up and training and will do my in person authentication this Wednesday for even greater access to my Personal Health Record (PHR). See My HealthyeVet, imagine how health care will be improved when all citizens have access to their PHR.

WEST SACRAMENTO — Rush Limbaugh's imitation of the Chinese language during a recent speech made by Chinese President Hu Jintao has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers in California and nationally.
California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from the radio talk show host for what he and others view as racist and derogatory remarks against the Chinese people.
President Obama is a great speaker, but who did he learn from? Many people have analysed Dr. Martin Luther King's I have a Dream Speech however, this infoGraphic reveals secrets that few can visualize without such a tool. (Video)
Frederick Jermaine Carter: Was This a Suicide or a Lynching? (Video)
The black community in Greenwood, Miss., is on edge and angry after the death of Frederick Jermaine Carter (pictured) who was 26 years old and found hanging from a tree in what authorities have labeled to be a suicide.
Warning:Do not proceed if you are culturally sensitive, shocking picture ahead.
Hate Group Numbers Up By 54% Since 2000 science Bush Republicans took over Washington
Would I drive 100 miles to an all White town to hang myself, NO! where is that rope from, Greenwood? What is that powder, Have the local law enforcement been tested by professionals for symptoms of Cultural Poisoning up to and including criminal insanity?
How come this happened in 2010 and I did not find out about it until a month later in 2011? Where was/is the MSNBC, CNN etc. Coverage? Where is the Federal Government, FBI, DOJ? How come the only video's on YouTube are from AA individuals in the south? Where is the follow up? NAACP, Urban League, ? The nation of Islam seem to have carried the story but is that it?
I emailed my congressmen and Senators to get the feds involved. What will you do, what else should be done.
Poll: Did the Republican Health Care Repeal Hoax Waste Time?
Remember Republican leaders have said their number one job is to make our President a one term President, not create jobs for the American people. So far the Tea Party congress has read the King James Version of the Constitution in congress and perpetrated their American sick care repeal hoax. Have you heard them even mention JOBS in this new congress? How did they help with the China meeting?
Rush Limbaugh on his radio show mocks President Hu Jintao and 1.5 Chinese. This is a huge Republican generated embarrassment of the United States. (Audio)
Let's Go to The Audio Tape From the January 19 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
I have not heard this type of racist "ching chong Chinaman" attack on Asians since I was a child. This is an attack on, not just the President of China, but a Culturally Poisoned insult against Chines and all Asians. What a disgraceful Republican slap in the face to our fellow Asian American brothers and sister. I have herd no Republican repudiate their fellow Republican Limbaugh's Asian insult.
How should Americans in general and African and Asians Americans respond. Don't get mad, get even in 2012. African Americans voted pro Democratic in 2008 at the 98% level. Asians need to register their disapproval of Republican support for Asian Cultural Poisoning by delivering a similar Democratic voting percentage in 2012.
A poll gauging public trust in TV news has found that PBS is the most trusted name in news, while trust in Fox News has dropped significantly. According to a survey from Public Policy Polling, "a year ago a plurality of Americans said they trusted Fox News. Now a plurality of them don't.
Mr. Jobs of one of my technology hero's. Pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant are tough things for a person to face. This video is a side of him I never new. (Video)
We know they have great products. I used the Iphone before there was an Iphone (Newton).They blew the quarterly earnings roof off the house with a record 6 billion. Everyone is asking about the Job's health but what about the character of the man. Well he gave a speech at Stanford that tells a lot about the man and how he looks at birth , love and death, surprising.
Let's go to the Video Tape
Job's is a computers for people visionary of the class of Bill Gates and the modern technological father of them all Ken Olsen of Digital Equipment Corporation who I use to work for and they all learned from with his massively successful, world changing, mini computer in a time of Mainframes.
All three visionary's were part of a team that nominated my organization and I for the Smithsonian Computerworld Awards (The Oscar's of Technology) back in the day so there is a special place I hold for Steve. I send him good energy for a speedy recovery.
Sports Illustrated is reporting new information about embattled, seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, who is the focus of a federal grand jury inquiry in Los Angeles. The investigation is headed by Jeff Novitzky of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, who previously investigated Barry Bonds and Marion Jones.

I have often said that Africans utilize English to speak African. There is no place where this is more visible then in the Call and Response sing song cadence of an African American Baptist Minster. The other place you see this is in the Metu Neter of Classical African Civilization, Kemet (Ancient Egypt). The ancient writing, IMHO, is the most complex and visual in recorded history. This ability to connect with man's spirit through metaphor is built into the writing and speaking of the shinny ones (ancestors) This legacy comes down to us in modern speakers who have learned the technology of connecting with the spirit of beings through sound.
Nancy Duarte, of California-based Duarte Design, does a masterful job of revealing some remarkable Cultural Communication Technology utilizing this famous American speech. Duarte, color-coded the bars to highlight different aspects of Cultural Technology (rhetorical devices)
1. Blue = repetition 2. Pink = metaphors 4. Orange = political references 3. Green = familiar literature and songs, from Scripture to “American"/African ideals
Let's Go to the Video Tape "N" Word Alert
I am sure you will agree that this is a most masterful and insightful presentation of the Cultural Technology that most of us African Americans see every Sunday morning that we are in church. From the smallest Black church in the South, to the Biggest in a big city like Chicago or New York. From King Tut to Garvey, King, Malcolm and Obama the cultural technology lives.
The Civil Rights Battle of my generation made this cultural technology visible to the broad American audience for the first time because of TV. Those of us living then remember the connection it made to America's better Angels. Now let's revisit the King speech with new eyes.
Isn't it interesting the difference the new eyes of Cultural Technology can make in one's understanding of something you have heard many times before.
The next time you listen to your minster, listen with the new eyes in your spirit. President Obama's life has a destiny. He did not choose to understand and designate himself to be African American by accident. He did not go to one of Chicago's great churches and absorb Cultural Technology by accident. The next time you hear our President speak pay close attention. The next time you speak, pay close attention. Pay attention with your spirit.
Amen
MLK Day of Service: Part of the President's United We Serve initiative. This piece is my contribution.
Many in the media are saying that Sarah, dumb as a rock, Palin used these words out of context, wrong. The speech was written for her by those that understand Cultural anti-humanism and she knew exactly what she was saying and to whom. (Video).
Most Americans of good conscience would not have the slightest idea what the phrase Blood Libel meant without looking it up, but Neo Nazi's and the Jewish American hating Klu Klux Klan would, and most Jewish Americans would. Congress Woman Gabrielle Giffords that Palin put in the gun cross hairs on her map is Jewish. These words were not coincidently chosen. This piece of Palin Cultural Poisoning is a Taliban Christian based direct attack on, and affront to, the Jewish American community. All Americans should reject Palin mob blood lust before it is too late.
Let's Go to the Video Tape
Yes, I know there is an 8 minute version, this was the critical part
To understand Teabonics you have to understand that what a bagger leaders says is the opposite of what they mean and then you must listen for the code, which are the instructions they are giving to the extreme Cultural anti-humanist in their mob.
Let me interpret what Arazona Massacre Palin actually said, to her mob, No I am not apologizing and you should not either. This is not a time to retreat this is a time to reload, this is our time, a time to take our country back. We got all 20 on the gun map by hook or crook. We sent a loud message in November and a loud message in January. Yeah and don't forget to vote in 2012 if anybody has the balls to run against us.
Remember this is the woman that Plantation John, anti-vitamin, McCain hired to bring life back to his destroyed campaign by juicing up the crazy's in the confederate party that drinks tea. This is the one who egged her Palin Mop on when they would chant kill him at her political rally's. This is the Palin that supports bringing guns to political rally's and the nation's capital. This is the Palin who went to speak at the Beck dishonor rally to attack African Americans. She is the same Palin that is for the Arizona hate state unconstitutional attack on Latino American citizens.
Criminally insane Cultural Anti-Humanist fighting to
Keep human beings enslaved.
To understand Arizona Massacre Palin you must understand that she is an empty vessel like Ronald Reagan and Bush the torturer. But she is not as "smart" as Reagan and not yet as criminally insane as Bush, that we know of. Just like the other corporate Crack mules they will run her for President in 2012. To understand Palin you must understand the diffrence between a Cultural Humanist and Anti-humanist (Video). Which of the people in the two video's do you think she is most like?
I ran a piece at MSNBC/Newsvine about Fox, Hate radio. Big discussion about Palin ensued. I had hoped there might be a positive reaction to this wakeup call. There is, they have gotten worst.
Yes Sara Palin sticks to her guns and we should stick to our vote in 2012
Malcolm X studied under Dr. Clarke and Dr. Ben. I have heard Minster Farakann and other Black Muslim leaders speak positively about kemet. This is the first time I have seen a Black Muslim in America commit Cultural Treason in broad daylight (Video).
Dr. Wesley Muhammad
Let's Go to the Video Tape
In addition, when his cultural treason has been pointed out to him he does not recant but attacks Cultural Soldiers like Shaka N kmt who are working to restore cultural literacy. It is my recommendation that Culturally Literate Muslims gather this young brother to them and work to improve his Cultural Health. For now, I recommend that no self-respecting Black person touch this individual with a ten foot pole. He is a disgrace to himself, to his ethnic group and to Islam.
Republicans first act in Congress is to read the constitution, OK. Wait, what did you say, they left out African Americans and Women. Oh, I get it, I think, they read the Republican version of the constitution.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Presses GOP to Read Slavery Language in Constitution
Let's Go To The Video Tape
Rep Jackson is a nice man and inclined to give folks the benefit of doubt like the President. However, I am of a mind that when people tell you who they are, listen. This is nothing more then a Tea Party (Teapublican) code to fellow cultural anti-humanists that they plan to "take the country back". Way Back to the early days of the constitution.
Is this a signal that this congress' mission is insurrection? I did a Poll at MSNBC/Newsvine and a majority of respondents felt that the bag house planed to shut down the government in its first year in control.
Android makes another Iphone look a like device. They are getting better but I will stick with my Iphone. (video)
Honeycomb it the name of the operating system for the Apad ("tablet") this is different from the android software for the droids. I think this is way to complicated for the average consumer.
Let's Go To The Video Tape
You got to love that 3D map. Don't get me wrong, I love Google technology and use a lot of it. Droid open is a good concept and will be ready for prime time in the future but Iphone still has the vision edge and technology, quality and apps lead.
The reality is, if a person has a cell phone and they want to add a Pad they will add to pad related to their cell phone. If I was just buying a pad I would still buy the Ipad as it is the market standard.
Bottom line, I like the progress and will be watching.
Aunk's Cell Phone Motto: Stick with the best, watch the rest. I want to be on the leading edge not the bleeding edge.
BEIJING - The first clear pictures of what appears to be a Chinese stealth fighter prototype have been published online, highlighting China's military buildup just days before US Defense Secretary Robert Gates heads to Bejiing to try to repair defense ties.
In the Obama Kwanzaa Series we have been comparing Obama's principles and performance, especially his second year in office, to each of the seven principles of Kwanzaa. The question on this last day of Kwanzaa is does Obama demonstrate and/or merit the traditional faith of the ancestors?
Call: Habari Gani
Response: _________?
7. IMANI (Faith) [ee-MAH-nee]
To believe with all our hart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
In Classical African times the people had faith in their leaders the Kings and Queens of Kemet (called pharaohs by the Greeks) and the Kings had faith in their people (Ancestor inclusive). Most of the leaders were fully developed individuals living in the service of their people and building the first greatmulti-ethnic society in recorded history. The great monuments and instructional tools of Classical African Civilization, shine to this day, proclaiming the victory of their struggle. But the King did not do this by him or herself the people helped. The people built the great African pyramids with the King as the greatest public works project in recorded history.
Now we are in a new time, where the Sleeping Giants sat on a wall, and the Sleeping Giants had a great fall, and all the King’s horses and all the kings’ men, even with community organizers, had difficulty putting our community back together again.
Let's Go To The Video Tape
There are children who have had faith in Obama as a parent, there are students that have had faith in Obama as a professor of law and his leadership as a politician is already legendary. He had faith in the American people when we and many in the world had lost faith. I humbly submit to you, that Obama’s "Yes We Can" mission of hope is Kwanzaa'sIMANI in modern practice. Imani's brings with it a special community wide positive energy and we must keep that energy moving all year. This is especially true this year, with a Republican congress and the forces of Cultural Anti-humanism raising their heads in the land.
Last year, I and many Americans said we had faith in the community organizers to deliver Health Care Reform (HCR). Our faith was not misplaced, HCR is now law. In fact, the President kept 127 of his promises to date.We had faith in Obama and he has done his job during his two years in office. It is now time for us to do ours. I do my small part with OFA. The question is, how do you do your part?
It is a great time to be alive and partaking in history. I enjoyed this holiday season (despite the hard times) with my family, that is, my immediate family, my cyber-family, my ethnic family, my national family, yes and even my Newsvine family, tnx guys.
Obama's second years performance as President confirms the fact that he is a good new wave example of the ancient First Fruits Festival principle of IMANI. Our ancesters from Ausar, Heru and Auset to Garvy, King and Fannie Lou Hamer are proud of the President's two year efforts to leave the Nation and the World better and more beautiful then he found it.
Housekeeping note. The enormous jump in the National Cultural Health of the American people in 2008 inspired me to start this Kwanzaa series utilizing the most visible AA from our community, as a popular means of exploring and analyzing the 7 principles. This is the third year of the series and I like to think it gets better every year and that you find it useful.
