One of my greatest prayers for America is that men and women have an honest conversation about how we have been played against each other and then black folks and white folks do the same. Miracles would happen.
This weekend I was on a radio show in an African American community in the United States. I have done this show several times before. IMO, they are good folks. Smart. Caring. Hard working.
They asked me whether or not the House Republicans were inspired to fight Obamacare because Obama was African-American. The question took me by surprise. If you look at numbers on what the ACA is doing to individuals and will do to small business, it is simply gut wrenching. Check out the comments on last week’s Solari Report blogpost. The idea of giving individuals the same delay that the Administration gave to businesses is compelling. The idea of taking time to come up with a plan that does not devastate small business or cause lots of low income workers to be thrown off the payroll makes sense if you care about working people.

Who would go to the mat because they didn’t like the racial profile of the sitting President? They know that the President is not in charge. He is simply representing an accumulation of interests. If race is an issue, it is because those interests are smart to have a young, attractive, progressive sounding Democrat fronting for them. Obama is a good marketing face for where they are going – more central control. Obama made the $27 trillion of bailouts politically acceptable – an amazing political feat that was essential for the financial coup d’etat to go.
To give a sense of how upside down both the situation and perceptions are, take a look at my on line book, Dillon, Read & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits. Let me give you some highlights.
In the Clinton Administration, one of the political appointees explained to me that “black people were hopeless.” They were going to be moved out of low income communities and replaced with hispanic immigration. Sure enough the Clinton Administration rolled out a series of enforcement efforts, dropping swat teams into poor communities in the District of Columbia that rounded up African-American young people and stuffed them into prison. Congress cut off the public defenders appropriations. That made it easier for everyone to cop a plea. Lots of wealthy Washingtonians were looking to profit on real estate in gentrified neighborhoods.
And the US Attorney for the District of Columbia who lead this effort? Eric Holder, current Attorney General of the United States.
Do we think he was in charge? Of course not, he was just “following orders.” That is how he ended up with a partnership in a Washington law firm and then as Attorney General.
The story on racial politics, like sexual politics, is really a story of divide and conquer politics played out by forces that wish to implement central control; that wish to shift $40 trillion out of pension funds and governments by invisible means, and keep it, while grinding down on the health care and retirement benefits it was supposed to pay.
Which is why I have always said, if we will simply bring transparency to how money REALLY works within our communities and networks, we could hate each other rich instead of hating each other poor.
But then, miracles of miracles, maybe there would be no reason to hate each other after all.
Dasa:
I very much appreciate your kind words.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting. I very much appreciate having the facts.

Catherine:
I cannot thank you enough for writing Dillon, Read & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits.
I wanted the details of what you went through defending yourself against the dark forces in America. This book
held me captive for the past several hours. Footnote 59 alone is so important to read.
Your concluding statements about what you foresee as the inevitable fate of the people behind the
economic tyranny of the world ring true. There is a natural law not even the all-powerful can escape:
any species that prospers excessively at the expense of other species will not be allowed to do so
for long. Pure, powerful voices such as yours are evidence of this regulating process.
When you went through the fires of torment, you did so for all of us.
Gratefully,
Dasa Vinayaga
This is a very inspiring article and your perspective is biblical.
My comment has to do with another article you posted on Solari: Texas’ New Voter ID Laws May Roll Back Women’s Voting Rights; Reader Supported News | 20 October 2013
My husband and I serve on the Early Voting Ballot Board in Dallas County, TX for the November 5, 2013 election in Dallas. We have been thru two training sessions on the instructions to each precinct judge and all the clerks and what we have learned differs greatly from the article you posted in several respects.
The law requires the clerks to check these four things: Photo likeness; Name SIMILARITY; Address and birth date to see if any matches the Elections registration rolls. EVEN IF THE MIDDLE NAME IS THE ONLY NAME THAT MATCHES. and the voter photo is somewhat identical…..you must approve the voter to vote a live ballot.
If the clerk has ANY doubt, he/she must let the voter vote using provisional ballot. NO ONE LEAVES THE VOTING AREA WITHOUT VOTING…EVER!. The person has until November 12, 2013 to bring to the Election board any necessary papers that are required and their Provisional Ballot will be counted.
For several weeks, Texas Department of Public Safety has been using mobile units to travel the state offering the FREE voter ID and they will produce a birth certificate FREE!
Those who really fear this law is TEXAS is not because of the Photo ID; it is because there is now a automatic jail term attached to anyone who signs the affidavit required to vote that says if you ARE NOT the person you say you are; you GO TO JAIL! This is what they are fighting.
The Justice Department has been filing freedom of information to read all email from Texas Governor and Legistature and they found emails between the Speaker of the House and a member of the Texas Senate that they think implies discrimination so they have refiled in hopes of getting an injunction for 2014 to stop Senate 14 for the 2014 elections. Obama has poured millions of dollars into Texas in hope that democrats can turn Texas BLUE with big wins and they after that; don’t care about the law.
