Generations of pilfering and pillaging by colonizers and occupiers have left many African countries vulnerable to GMO Food Barons...

Generations of pilfering and pillaging have left many African countries vulnerable; vulnerable to sickness and disease, due to hunger and starvation leaving the children to suffer most; now these young ones will be preyed upon again; genetically engineered food swimming in their bellies. Isn't it a shame how corporations, and The 1%'er's, pull on our heart strings and cause us to say yes to things we usually see as bad, unhealthy, and unsafe? 

We become conflicted and compromise our thoughts.  Yes, I want those children to eat as well as my children are able to eat.  I want their health and safety as much as I desire the health and safety of my own child. 

Years ago I was cornered in a mall, for a survey about poverty and food production I was told.  I told the woman I knew nothing (honestly, I was not as well read as I am now on genetically altered foods) and then she offered a 5 dollar gift card... I refused... She then offered a 10 gift card to a shopping store, I refused.  The woman was very forceful in wanting me to take this survey. Finally she offered me a 10 gift card to Red Lobster.  I sold my soul for Red Lobster.

After agreeing to the survey test, I was taken into a small white room with a chair a desk and a television monitor set into the desk. They showed me hungry starving children, with bald heads, bulging eyes and protruding bellies; followed by Americans emerald fields of green; Corn fields, Soybean fields, Oat fields, and Rice fields; followed by more images of Apple Trees, Oranges Trees, Pomegranate Trees and more.  They asked question like would you deny these children the same nutritious food your child eat.  NO!  If science found a way to get healthy nutritious food to thousands of hungry starving children would you agree? YES!

There were at least 50 questions all more twisted in structure than the other.  I remember even then I was against genetically modified foods which would cross breed plants with animals.  However they twisted those questions every way possible for you to really say, “Yes, it is okay to give genetically modified food, to starving children that they too may have a wholesome and satisfying meal.   When I later learned; 21 years later, how science is cross breeding plant and animal cellular structure to create GMO's; my mind flashed back to that day, and how my vote may have played a part in allowing GMO's on to the tables of the unsuspecting.

Western Education & Islamist Rule... Just My Thoughts

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-13809501

"The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. And because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother-country. Thus the history which he writes is not the history of the country which he plunders but the history of his own nation in regard to all that she skims off, all that she violates and starves.” ― Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth.  BBC News Excerpt: They still refuse to send their children to government-run "Western schools", a problem compounded by the ruling elite which does not see education as a priority.

Sista: Could it be, they simply do not see Western Education as a priority?  Could it be they are tired of European History telling the story of their existence?  Why are we told there was no history of us until Western civilization penned it? The kidnapping of these children, these 270 young girls, and the militant Islamist group holding them, (if this all be true) then this is just the tip of the iceberg, of all that ails Africa under European and now Asia Rule... Again (we are) Africa is in the public eye as savages and barbarians, making ruin of their own... I am sure this Islamist groups happening’s is a result of many past lessons, passed on by-way of Europe and Now Asia OCCUPYING AFRICA. EUROPEAN OCCUPATION DATES BACK AS FAR AS THE 1400's; maybe earlier- MINING NATURAL RESOURCES STRIPING AND RAPING THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF IT'S RAW MATERIALS AND KILLING BY-WAY OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE: AIDS, HIV, ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT TUBERCULOUS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING; WHO pray tell would desire Western Education after all of that; other than us Africans Born In America?

The Summer Of 1980 When Chucky Dale and David Became Heroes

Post by Lepak.TV - Sharing Entertainment.

Shared By Michael Holman

The world has become so desensitized since I was 13. I recall the summer of 1980, this particular summer day was partly cloudy and somewhat breezy.   From two blocks away, Sound Town Music Record Store, blasted the lasts vinyl albums playing music hits dating from 1970-1980.  The music reverberated off the walls of the Catholic School as we snapped our finger, danced, talked, laughed and sang.  That summer three of our neighbors emerged as heroes; but listen how the story goes.  The front was grouped off by age, relations or friends, all of us Cindy, Co-Co, Wilda, Mary,  Kathy Rhodes, Me, Jo, and Sandra Owens’nhem from down the block and the Miller’s from across the alley were enjoying the tunes from Sound Town.. The music was so clear; one would think they were sitting right inside the record store.  Perhaps it was the breeze or maybe the music or possibly both which had us all out conversing and laughing and playing and joking. Whatever it was, we were outside enjoying ourselves.  Suddenly there was a full halt; the music became back ground sound as we heard a woman yelling, “STOP HIM! SOMEBODY STOP HIM!” 

At full sprint a young man comes running through the alley way between Mr. Brown’s house and the vacant lot next door to our house.  A young woman was directly behind him by 5 to 7 seconds and screaming, “STOP HIM! STOP HIM! HE TOOK MY PURSE!!!”   Lori Collins brothers Chucky and Dale and their live-in cousin David, leapt from the Collin’s front porch in full stride, passing the young woman, and capturing the young man on the church lawn, just before he reached the corner of Margaretta and Clarence, nearly a full block away.  From my understanding, the young woman was about to enter National’s Food Store, when the young man snatched her purse off her shoulders... I bet he never though, Sister Girl would become a track star wearing those 2 or 3 inch hills but Sister Girl could run, in addition I bet he never thought anyone would come to her aid; brother man received a rude awakening that day.  Truly our world has changed...  Thank U Michael, for the share, it amazes me the things which jog my memory.

*nhem is short for "and them"…

Lesson Drawn From The Allegory Of Dry Bones: Ezekiel 37

[A]s I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And when I beheld, lo, sinews and flesh came up upon them, and skin covered them head to toe: but there was no breath in them. Prophesy unto the winds, prophesy, "Come, breath, of the four winds and breathe into these here slain, that they may live." I prophesied, and breath came into them; those once mere dry bones now lived, and stood up; upon their feet, an exceeding great army. (KJV)  

Anyone who touches the life of another has the ability to breathe new life into those whom they touch, thus allowing them to live a more awakened life and stand on their own two feet.  Once awakened surely we will become and exceeding great army of Conscious folks entreating our fellow citizens with unadulterated LOVE, Peace & Liberty.

After Midnight A Broadway Play And My Universal Request To Fulfill My Bucket List...

It is said, to receive something different, one must be willing to do something different.  One must step beyond ones comfort zone, knowing all is well. So here I go:  One of the things on my Bucket List is a Broadway Play, therefore, I am placing a request out into the Universe via my Heart felt thoughts and the World Wide Web; I am mindful of Divine Energy the Source of ALL Creation, which we call GOD.   I trust my request is provided and I am thankful in advance.  Oh what is my request? Thank U for asking.  My request is to attend “After Midnight” a well-spoken of Broadway Show running from May through August 30 2014 in New York City, New York. I further request to be accompanied by A Kind Gentlemanly, Gentle and Generous Mature Man, for a weekend of laughter, dancing, dinner, the theater and witty conversations.  It is my request we have the time of our lives enjoying the companionship of one another and the atmosphere of New York City, New York, in the summer time.  As well, while there, I am looking forward to sitting down to a Manhattan Lunch with my Best Girlfriend from High School, Ms Stephanie Wallace …   

Final request, nothing last minute please. 

Thank U Kim Daniel aka SistaSistaSister

The Cotton Club is going to be the hottest of hot spots this summer! Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight and Natalie Cole will join the roster of "Special Guest Star" vocalists in After Midnight . LaBelle is set to play performances from June 10 through 29, Knight from July 8 through August 3, and Cole August 5 through 31. The tuner, which recentlygarnered seven Tony nods, including Best Musical, is playing at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

Mr. Perry, I ask what doors of opportunity are open under Tyler Perry’s INK-Well?

Hello Mr. Perry,

It is my hope this Note finds you well, and in good spirits. 

For sake of time, I will do my best to make this Note as short and concise as possible.  First thank U for sharing your talent with the world and giving us moments of laughter, moments of tears, and moment of sheer inspiration.  Most of all Mr. Perry, thank U for those moments when U used your talent to hold a mirror to our faces, forcing us to revisit the consequences of our deeds. 

There are very few theatrical shows capable of inciting self reflection and self examination; I will add, especially within our community.  You know that community, where bullets fly like eagle through the sky, missing sometimes but other times hitting innocent passerby's.  You know that community where the so called minorities are truly the majority and they (whoever they be) feed us lies, like politicians take bribes.  

You know that community where poverty and crime is described every evening on the five o’clock news, where Lethrelle did a drive by, Monesha stole a ten dollar bag of weave, and Georgedella just had her third child and she’s only seventeen. You know that community.    There are few if any shows which allow us to visit true issues with a comedic twist in our community. Cause we all know we gots’ta laugh to keep from crying.

Then again as our old friend once said “I am talking to the man in the mirror, I’m asking him to change his ways; and no message could be any clearer; U’ve gotta look at yourself, and make that change.”  Mr. Perry, for many in our community your shows and plays are the mirror; your dialog is the message and your body of work causes us to look at ourselves; I simply hope we will look long enough and hard enough to make that change. 

Now let’s get to the meat and potatoes of this note.  Mr. Perry, have U considered a Tyler Perry Writing Challenge?  I wrote U a year ago, on this same date, asking this same question to no avail. Then again, all I have is Local Television and Internet Television, U know (Hulu & Netflix). 

Nonetheless, as I was saying before digressing; there must be multitudes of writers out here wishing for, hoping for, and working for or toward publication, and acknowledgment. You know acknowledgment of their creative genius; but they lack the opportunity which usually meets preparation, but for some reason preparation took a vacation and did not leave a forwarding email address or a, “I am out of the office indefinitely” message. I know there must be thousands of young as well as older men and women itching at a chanced opportunity to work with U or to be evaluated by U.  So Mr. Perry, I ask what doors of opportunity are open under Tyler Perry’s INK-Well?    

Me personally I have only one published poem, but more than a few thousand Sista-quotes, Sista-poems, Sista-ponderings and Sista-social views, that lay here in unopened envelopes; some are certified return receipt mail, cause I take my “Poor Woman’s Copyrights” serious.  To be honest Mr. Perry I write very, very well and I would love the challenge of a writing contest, something which allows me to stretch and grow as a writer. 

In high school I had and English instructor who upon entering the class room wrote a single phrase or sentence, and we the students had the first ten minute of class to write a; one page, narrow ruler, back and front, hand written story or poem beginning with that one single phrase or sentence.  I loved it, because it challenged me and I am always at my best when challenged…  If you are anything like me, being a September 14^th Virgo like me, then you also offer your best work when challenged.

Mr. Tyler Perry I, Kim Daniel aka SistaSistaSister, am challenging you to put together a writing contest for the hundreds of thousands of fans and admirers who have followed you over the years and Mr. Perry make the contest so well known, that even us, none cable television people (me) who only view their computer screens, will know Tyler Perry is challenging all novice and prolific writers to an out of the box into the ink-well writing contest. 

I haven’t written a play since I was seventeen.  I won first place, three years straight.  My job after winning was production direction and starting in my own play.  Back then and even now I was/am a behind the scenes person, but vacation bible school was no joke.  “You better standup for the LORD and do that thing”, as Sistah So-N-So said, the day I said, I’ll be in the background. Why did I say that?  But that’s a tale for another day.

Anywho, Mr. Perry, if you would like to view my scribbling’s beyond this long/short note, you are welcome to follow my links below, and read me from beginning to end.  A friend told me my writings are like the KODAK MOMENT of words.  Well I don’t know about all of that, but I do know sometimes I shock myself.  So stop by, take a look, and let me know.  I have no problems with constructive criticism, and I have no problem being in boxed…

In the meantime

Namaste Mr. Perry

Best Regards Kim Daniel aka SistaSistaSister

Sista's Poem for Lisa Kristine's Photos That Bear Witness To Modern Slavery

 

Images so strong and sorrow so deep,

I am frozen in the limitation of my words,

A vocabulary so insufficient to capture the screams

Inside of me that bleed insufficiently through my fingers
Please let us end slavery, how much more inhumane
Can we be, this lost, this greedy, and so blind
We cannot see these are Hue-man's just as U and Me.
As I viewed the images on my screen,
Part of me said thank U it wasn't Me,
But don't U see, that thinking is
What is wrong with this entire thing
We view ourselves separately
I am not U and U are not Me, but if there be
But one CREATOR whom created U and Me,
Then that creative energy is the same in U as well as Me.
Now think this thing through
If the CREATOR/CREATIVE ENERGY
Dwells in U and In me too, then surely Creation/CREATOR
Dwells in the enslaved of this mini-documentary.
