* Do not expect me to pay for this paper when you tell people not to vote for our President Obama. I do not want to even read it anymore!
OKAY. I hear you. Now hear this? Have you stopped reading Tulsa World? The New York Times? The Washington Post? Or listening to news on Fox 23? Do you listen to Rush Limbaugh? You grow when you listen to other people’s opinions. My opinion is this: Pres. Obama is too good for this country, but he does not know when to quit. Not only has the sales of guns increased, but the Black murder rate has gone up greatly since he was elected. Presidents Harry S. Truman, L.B. Johnson and even Pres. Bush were all glad to get out. I do hope our president gets out to live and become a saviour for the world. He is loved almost everywhere – except in this country. Let him go home, regroup, and become a world leader, rather than president of a dying country. Have you read Bible where it says: Come out of her, my people. Be not partakers of her iniquities…” He is probably the only man alive who could unify the whole of Africa. Do you know that would be the death of capitalism in America & worldwide, since most of resources come from Africa? Then they would do him like they did Gaddafi when he was going to change Africa and the Middle East monetary system back to the dinar rather than dollars. Then he will also be assassinated by the blood suckers of this world. I agree with Minister Farrakhan who said, this world is in such a mess that it will take G*D Himself to come and straighten it out. I think we are all waiting for that day. If herbs, spices and certain foods are so great for healing, why do people use medicine instead?
We use medicine because we want a 2 ―jump start.‖ We are a ―I want to feel Prayerfully, we will not let our Brothers die in good now!‖ society. All medicines vain.

...… Did you know that chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia? On 12/14/11, citizens along with Bob Bowcock, water specialist working with Erin Brockovich, asked TMUA to not use Chloramine in Tulsa's water supply. Why? To protect Tulsans! People all over the country are suffering from respiratory, eye, skin and digestive symptoms from chloraminated tap water. NO STUDIES exist on skin, eye, digestive and respiratory effects ANYWHERE, on exposure to chloramine in tap water (drinking, cooking and bathing)! …. Tulsa’s website insinuates that chloramine went in the water at the end of 2011, worry and problem free. That is not the case. According to your recent Tulsa water bill, CHLORAMINE WILL GO INTO OUR WATER IN EARLY MAY. [The Mayor seems to approve.] We were told that chloramine lowers regulated disinfection by products of chlorine. Chloramine creates it's own disinfection by products that are magnitudes more toxic, carcinogenic, genotoxic. NONE is regulated! Chloramine leaches lead from pipes and lead/ tin solder from pipe joints. Lead poisoning causes neurological damage and health problems, possibly death in children. Washington, D.C. has ongoing lawsuits due to chloramine leaching lead from water pipes, causing children to suffer lead poisoning, developing autism/developmental problems. Homeowners bear the burden of repairing home plumbing. Chloramine can kill fish, amphibians and water -based reptiles and marine invertebrates. Chloramine enters into their bloodstream, gills, or skin, literally suffocating them to death. Get involved with your local AARP or NAACP before you become too sick to do so. Also, contact Citizens Concerned About Chloramine (CCAC). Their website is full of information. Jeanine Kinney - Tulsa, Ok

History Lesson from a Mother
At 6 years old, ―Mommy, I love you.‖ At 10 years old, ―Mom, whatever.‖ At 16 years old, ―Mom is annoying. At 18 years old, ―I wanna leave this house.‖ At 25 years old, ―Mom, you were right.‖ At 30 years old, ―I wanna go to Mom’s house.‖ At 50 years old, ―I don’t wanna lose my Mom.‖ At 70 years old, ―I would give anything for my Mom to be here with me.‖
If you appreciate and love your Mom, share this with someone whether your Mother is here or not. _______________________________

The more information you have, the easier it will be to choose the path you want to follow.‖ He mumbled. ―I ain’t gonner get older,‖ and slumped down under his desk. I maintained a calm, even demeanor and smiled as he scowled at me and promptly looked away. ―Why does there have to be police?‖ he shouted in a sudden outburst. ―Why can’t they mind their own business?‖ ―When we stop hurting one another and ourselves, we won’t need police,‖ I responded, curious about his question. ―These police came and stopped me from shooting myself. They took away my gun and then they took me away.‖ He stared at me, as if to see whether or not I was shocked. ―You must have been very sad if you wanted to kill yourself,‖ I replied, choosing my words carefully. He was clearly in pain. I didn’t ask questions. Should I tell his teacher about the incident? I wondered. I placed my hand on his and was saddened when he tried to reject my touch. Then, as I continued to maintain contact, the bravado seemed to leave him like air from a balloon. You know what?‖ he said. ―People should mind their own business. They say they love children, and they only want to help. Why can’t they just stay home and love their own children instead of messin’ around with other people’s children?‖ ―Maybe we are not fortunate enough to have our own children,‖ I said softly, praying that I didn’t say the wrong thing. ―What you talking about? You’re a grandma. You got children,‖ he argued. ―Well, I answered, ―I’m not a real grandma. I’m a foster grandma. See, it says so right here on my bbadge.‖ (conclusion next page ==>)

Excerpted-
The Strength of Man
The strength of a man is not felt in the width of his shoulders; it’s in the width of his arms that encircle and protect us. The strength of a man is not heard in the deep tone of his voice; it is in the gentle words that he whispers. The strength of a man is not in the words he just speaks; it is in how he keeps his word. The strength of a man is not in how many buddies he has; it is in how good a buddy he is to his and the community’s children. The strength of a man is not in how well he is respected at work, at church, the temple or the mosque; it is in how he is respected at home. The strength of a man is not in the hairs on his chest; it is in the heart in his chest. The strength of a man is not in how much weight he can lift; it is in the burdens he can carry. The strength of a man is not in how much money he has; it is in what he does with the money he has. The strength of a man comes from his love for his family, his commitment to his community; and his desire to do the Will of Almighty G*D. Amen? Amen!

As a 60 year old, bored retiree, I was dissatisfied with just about everything…. So I decide to be a Foster Grandparent in an inner city school.…My neighbors asked, "Why would anyone want to tie themselves down to that kind of schedule and responsibility?" A spokesperson for the Foster Grand-parent Program came to our senior citizen’s meeting to give a presentation. [warning us that we would be] working with … behavioral problems resulting from a chaotic childhood. Most were poor minority students from single-parent homes, or had no parent at all…. I envisioned myself in the role of a kindly grandma, guiding small children through…. Although it was exhausting, for the first time in years, I was sleeping soundly… and slimming down. One day, after greeting the [children]. I went to my table at the back of the room & waited for the teacher to send me a student who was struggling {in the 3 R's]. Suddenly , the door opened with a thundering crash. I watched in dismay as an angry young man was escorted to my table. I thought to myself, "Why do I always get the tough ones?" The teacher handed the newcomer a worksheet and pencil, both of which went flying across the room. With a firmly set jaw, the teacher placed the items on his desk again and asked me, "Would you work with him?" Pulling my chair up to his desk, I greeted him calmly, "Good morning, may I help you with your math?" "I ain't doin' nothin'!" he growled, throwing the paper to the floor. He crossed his arms in protest and stuck his chin out. ―Well,‖ I said retrieving the worksheet, ―if this paper gets any dirtier, we won’t be able to see the problems. Let’s see now.‖ ―I said, I ain’t doing nothing!‖ He repeated with more volume. Only this time the paper and the pencil remained on the desk. Pinning the paper down with my elbow, I picked up the pencil and began to look over the problems. ―Looks like I’m going to need a little help.‖ ―Why do I have to do all this stuff?‖

Trailer Trash. That is an expression used most frequently by Caucasian Americans and seldom by Amooricans. All the trailer homes I had ever seen from the highways did not look trashy to me until… On a train ride to San Antonio, you may view one of the trashiest sites you will ever see—from rotted out mattresses and rusted out abandoned cars to junk and papers , not piled, but strewn all over the place. It sits right next to some small industrial plant which seems connected (maybe as tenants?). After that winter experience in warm Texas, I decided to visit a Tulsa trailer park. 9 a.m. Palm Sunday morning, probably the best time for a person of color not to get shot at. (No, the confessed shooter(s) on Easter weekend did not live in the Trailer Park where they were found in Tulsa after their killing spree). See Oklahoma Eagle. The trailer park seemed immaculate, not a piece of paper appeared to be on the ground. The only thing laying around were kiddy size vehicles. There were little flowers planted all around, clean cars that seemed in moveable condition, and recently mowed grassy spaces. Of course, we probably can give most of the credit to Tulsa’s Department of Neighborhood Inspections. for its stringent laws. That dept. will not tolerate high weeds and unkempt sites, and will be quick to fine you for such conditions. Tulsa North seems to be a favorite place to see their trucks cleaning up somebody’s property, making thousands of dollars for the city. Trailer Trash is a mind set. What is the difference between Trailer Trash and Corporate Trash? Corporate Trash deals destroying whole cities, states and nations. So, we are all victims of corporate trash. They trash our food with chemicals to give it a longer shelf life. They trash our health for profit. They trash our water mostly with chemicals and chicken feces, our air with chemtrails and industrial pollution and our land , dumping more chemicals and practicing environmental injustices. Trailer trash is a term that reeks with discrimination- class discrimination. All are victims of corporate trash. Avoid using Trailer Trash at all costs. # # #

There are two major reasons why so many people are in need today and are violent: 1. Job losses, and , 2. President Reagan’s cut back on funds for mental health centers and services. So…. Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless is full. Salvation Army is full. Sarayya Anne Foundation for the homeless and mentally ill Muslim women (primarily) and their children is full, and Sarah’s Residential Living for the elderly is seeking to expand its establishment. All of the centers need donations, mostly funds, some clothes, especially undergarments (including for men). However, Sarah’s Residential Living center is the only one situated in Tulsa north. Its needs are also unique. Its reputation has caught the attention of generous Tulsans who have donated houses! The houses, however, do need to be brought up to code. And donations like nice doors, windows, plumbing, flooring, household appliances and furniture would be appreciated. Even a box of nails, screws, and other building materials would help. Interested?

6 nHis wisdom of 288 years has not changed. It's time to GENTLEMAN: I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First I shall thank you, the Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King James, whose bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your program is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen...you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool-proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.
This is how they did it to you, Black Man:

No matter how much them seem all right, the trauma will manifest itself later in their lives, if not sooner. Check DVIS out at www.dvis.org. # # #
I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little test of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is "Age", but it is there because it only starts with an "A"; the second is "Color" or shade; there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action-but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration. You must put the young Black male against the old Black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves vs the light skinned slaves, and the light skinned slaves vs. the dark skinned slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have your servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on only us. They must love, respect, and trust only us.

* Do not expect me to pay for this paper when you tell people not to vote for our President Obama. I do not want to even read it anymore!
OKAY. I hear you. Now hear this? Have you stopped reading Tulsa World? The New York Times? The Washington Post? Or listening to news on Fox 23? Do you listen to Rush Limbaugh? You grow when you listen to other people’s opinions. My opinion is this: Pres. Obama is too good for this country, but he does not know when to quit. Not only has the sales of guns increased, but the Black murder rate has gone up greatly since he was elected. Presidents Harry S. Truman, L.B. Johnson and even Pres. Bush were all glad to get out. I do hope our president gets out to live and become a saviour for the world. He is loved almost everywhere – except in this country. Let him go home, regroup, and become a world leader, rather than president of a dying country. Have you read Bible where it says: Come out of her, my people. Be not partakers of her iniquities…” He is probably the only man alive who could unify the whole of Africa. Do you know that would be the death of capitalism in America & worldwide, since most of resources come from Africa? Then they would do him like they did Gaddafi when he was going to change Africa and the Middle East monetary system back to the dinar rather than dollars. Then he will also be assassinated by the blood suckers of this world. I agree with Minister Farrakhan who said, this world is in such a mess that it will take G*D Himself to come and straighten it out. I think we are all waiting for that day. If herbs, spices and certain foods are so great for healing, why do people use medicine instead?
We use medicine because we want a 2 ―jump start.‖ We are a ―I want to feel Prayerfully, we will not let our Brothers die in good now!‖ society. All medicines vain.

...… Did you know that chloramine is a combination of chlorine and ammonia? On 12/14/11, citizens along with Bob Bowcock, water specialist working with Erin Brockovich, asked TMUA to not use Chloramine in Tulsa's water supply. Why? To protect Tulsans! People all over the country are suffering from respiratory, eye, skin and digestive symptoms from chloraminated tap water. NO STUDIES exist on skin, eye, digestive and respiratory effects ANYWHERE, on exposure to chloramine in tap water (drinking, cooking and bathing)! …. Tulsa’s website insinuates that chloramine went in the water at the end of 2011, worry and problem free. That is not the case. According to your recent Tulsa water bill, CHLORAMINE WILL GO INTO OUR WATER IN EARLY MAY. [The Mayor seems to approve.] We were told that chloramine lowers regulated disinfection by products of chlorine. Chloramine creates it's own disinfection by products that are magnitudes more toxic, carcinogenic, genotoxic. NONE is regulated! Chloramine leaches lead from pipes and lead/ tin solder from pipe joints. Lead poisoning causes neurological damage and health problems, possibly death in children. Washington, D.C. has ongoing lawsuits due to chloramine leaching lead from water pipes, causing children to suffer lead poisoning, developing autism/developmental problems. Homeowners bear the burden of repairing home plumbing. Chloramine can kill fish, amphibians and water -based reptiles and marine invertebrates. Chloramine enters into their bloodstream, gills, or skin, literally suffocating them to death. Get involved with your local AARP or NAACP before you become too sick to do so. Also, contact Citizens Concerned About Chloramine (CCAC). Their website is full of information. Jeanine Kinney - Tulsa, Ok

The Strength of Man
The strength of a man is not felt in the width of his shoulders; it’s in the width of his arms that encircle and protect us. The strength of a man is not heard in the deep tone of his voice; it is in the gentle words that he whispers. The strength of a man is not in the words he just speaks; it is in how he keeps his word. The strength of a man is not in how many buddies he has; it is in how good a buddy he is to his and the community’s children. The strength of a man is not in how well he is respected at work, at church, the temple or the mosque; it is in how he is respected at home. The strength of a man is not in the hairs on his chest; it is in the heart in his chest. The strength of a man is not in how much weight he can lift; it is in the burdens he can carry. The strength of a man is not in how much money he has; it is in what he does with the money he has. The strength of a man comes from his love for his family, his commitment to his community; and his desire to do the Will of Almighty G*D. Amen? Amen!

As a 60 year old, bored retiree, I was dissatisfied with just about everything…. So I decide to be a Foster Grandparent in an inner city school.…My neighbors asked, "Why would anyone want to tie themselves down to that kind of schedule and responsibility?" A spokesperson for the Foster Grand-parent Program came to our senior citizen’s meeting to give a presentation. [warning us that we would be] working with … behavioral problems resulting from a chaotic childhood. Most were poor minority students from single-parent homes, or had no parent at all…. I envisioned myself in the role of a kindly grandma, guiding small children through…. Although it was exhausting, for the first time in years, I was sleeping soundly… and slimming down. One day, after greeting the [children]. I went to my table at the back of the room & waited for the teacher to send me a student who was struggling {in the 3 R's]. Suddenly , the door opened with a thundering crash. I watched in dismay as an angry young man was escorted to my table. I thought to myself, "Why do I always get the tough ones?" The teacher handed the newcomer a worksheet and pencil, both of which went flying across the room. With a firmly set jaw, the teacher placed the items on his desk again and asked me, "Would you work with him?" Pulling my chair up to his desk, I greeted him calmly, "Good morning, may I help you with your math?" "I ain't doin' nothin'!" he growled, throwing the paper to the floor. He crossed his arms in protest and stuck his chin out. ―Well,‖ I said retrieving the worksheet, ―if this paper gets any dirtier, we won’t be able to see the problems. Let’s see now.‖ ―I said, I ain’t doing nothing!‖ He repeated with more volume. Only this time the paper and the pencil remained on the desk. Pinning the paper down with my elbow, I picked up the pencil and began to look over the problems. ―Looks like I’m going to need a little help.‖ ―Why do I have to do all this stuff?‖

Trailer Trash. That is an expression used most frequently by Caucasian Americans and seldom by Amooricans. All the trailer homes I had ever seen from the highways did not look trashy to me until… On a train ride to San Antonio, you may view one of the trashiest sites you will ever see—from rotted out mattresses and rusted out abandoned cars to junk and papers , not piled, but strewn all over the place. It sits right next to some small industrial plant which seems connected (maybe as tenants?). After that winter experience in warm Texas, I decided to visit a Tulsa trailer park. 9 a.m. Palm Sunday morning, probably the best time for a person of color not to get shot at. (No, the confessed shooter(s) on Easter weekend did not live in the Trailer Park where they were found in Tulsa after their killing spree). See Oklahoma Eagle. The trailer park seemed immaculate, not a piece of paper appeared to be on the ground. The only thing laying around were kiddy size vehicles. There were little flowers planted all around, clean cars that seemed in moveable condition, and recently mowed grassy spaces. Of course, we probably can give most of the credit to Tulsa’s Department of Neighborhood Inspections. for its stringent laws. That dept. will not tolerate high weeds and unkempt sites, and will be quick to fine you for such conditions. Tulsa North seems to be a favorite place to see their trucks cleaning up somebody’s property, making thousands of dollars for the city. Trailer Trash is a mind set. What is the difference between Trailer Trash and Corporate Trash? Corporate Trash deals destroying whole cities, states and nations. So, we are all victims of corporate trash. They trash our food with chemicals to give it a longer shelf life. They trash our health for profit. They trash our water mostly with chemicals and chicken feces, our air with chemtrails and industrial pollution and our land , dumping more chemicals and practicing environmental injustices. Trailer trash is a term that reeks with discrimination- class discrimination. All are victims of corporate trash. Avoid using Trailer Trash at all costs. # # #

There are two major reasons why so many people are in need today and are violent: 1. Job losses, and , 2. President Reagan’s cut back on funds for mental health centers and services. So…. Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless is full. Salvation Army is full. Sarayya Anne Foundation for the homeless and mentally ill Muslim women (primarily) and their children is full, and Sarah’s Residential Living for the elderly is seeking to expand its establishment. All of the centers need donations, mostly funds, some clothes, especially undergarments (including for men). However, Sarah’s Residential Living center is the only one situated in Tulsa north. Its needs are also unique. Its reputation has caught the attention of generous Tulsans who have donated houses! The houses, however, do need to be brought up to code. And donations like nice doors, windows, plumbing, flooring, household appliances and furniture would be appreciated. Even a box of nails, screws, and other building materials would help. Interested?

6 nHis wisdom of 288 years has not changed. It's time to GENTLEMAN: I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First I shall thank you, the Gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods for control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious King James, whose bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your program is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, gentlemen...you know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag here, I have a fool-proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any overseer can use it.
This is how they did it to you, Black Man:

I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the South. Take this simple little test of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is "Age", but it is there because it only starts with an "A"; the second is "Color" or shade; there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantations, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action-but before that, I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration. You must put the young Black male against the old Black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves vs the light skinned slaves, and the light skinned slaves vs. the dark skinned slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female. You must also have your servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on only us. They must love, respect, and trust only us.
