BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: THROUGH THE FIRE

THURSDAY NIGHT THINK TANK: THROUGH THE FIRE by e.graham

The famous writer and civil rights activist, James Baldwin, who penned the famous book Fire The Next Time, comes from an African-American spiritual titled "God Gave Noah the Rainbow Sign,"  which contains the lyrics: No more water, (Gen. 9:11) Fire next time (2 Pet 3:10)

Baldwin, like, the self-proclaimed genius Kanye West, who remixed Chaka Khan's song Through The Fire (Mal 3:2) on his album College Dropout, utilized the bible's idea about BAPTISM OF FIRE to compose their literary work.

BAPTISM OF FIRE is a concept associated with and  used by the character John The Baptist to describe the work of Christ, who allegedly stated: "He {Christ will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire" (Matt 3:11; Luke 3:16)

According to the Bible Dictionary, some scholars believe that two different baptisms are mentioned here: "the baptism of the Holy Spirit" or the baptism that brings mercy, forgiveness, and life) and "the baptism of fire" (the baptism that brings judgment, condemnation, and death.)

When this interpretation is followed, the baptism of the Holy Spirit belongs to the presence age of grace and the baptism of the fire belongs to a future age of judgment.

In trying to make sense of this, remember, FIRE, from a textual point of view, symbolized God's presence and power (Gen. 15:17-18). It also represented God's judgment on wickedness and unbelief. For, God was viewed as a "CONSUMING FIRE" (Ex 24:17; Deu. 4:24; Heb. 12;29)

This is made self-evident in the New Testament. Why? Because, eternal damnation is pictured as an EVERLASTING FIRE (1 Cor. 3:13; Rev. 21:8) Plus, the Book Revelation (Rev. 20:9.10) goes on to say: "Fire from heaven is an instrument of God's Wrath to crush the satanic rebellion.

With that stated, let's not forget, that FIRE WORSHIP was (and still is) practiced in many cultures of the ancient world. Some of these fire worshipers, to appease the gods, often, sacrificed their children on flaming alters, which was an abomination to the LORD. (Ezek 16:20, 21; 2 Chron 28;3).

These biblical passages, of course, have a triple-fold meaning to the learnt man and woman. But, let's focus on those, who sacrifice themselves in the fire, which is known as "SELF-IMMOLATION".

“SELF-IMMOLATION” is a word used to mean suicide by fire, its etymology connotes “sacrifice.”

Historically, it has been a term used as a form of protest through the act of suicide for thousands of years in both the East and the West including ancient Greece, 4th-century China, and 17th-century Russia.

The most iconic expression of SELF-IMMOLATION,  occurred in 1963, by Thích Quảng Đức in protest of the US-supported South Vietnamese government’s persecution of Buddhists during the Vietnam War.

This, of course, led others to utilize this extreme technique in an attempt to create social change from the  protester at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, to the revolutionaries of the Tunisian Revolution, the  demonstrators of the "Arab Spring, along with LGBTQ rights and climate change activist, David Buckel

And, now, a man, influenced by outlandish conspiracy theories, just set himself on FIRE outside the Manhattan courthouse where

Donald Trump stands trial, which occurred two months after US airman Aaron Bushnell SET HIMSELF ON FIRE in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC, in an apparent act of opposition against the ongoing war in Israel and Gaza.

According to Psychology Today, SELF-IMMOLATION occurs when a person, who may be revolting against or seeking to escape from political and social oppression commits suicide. In the case of Bushnell, he might have felt some form of guilt, or self-blame. Especially, being a member of the military, where he may have become empathetic about the plight of the Palestinians while desiring to stop the Israelis' "genocide" against them.

But, with very little information on the soldier, some, considered, his extreme "political" act of "protest," an act of terrorism and mental illness. While, others view his act of "setting himself on fire" as heroic, making him a martyr in their eyes.

Self-immolators, amongst men, usually, have a history of mental illness; even if there was no professional psychiatric evaluation given.

Many of these individuals, often, have a mood disorder or borderline personality disorder, and possibly, may have attempted suicide in the past or battled with suicidal idealization, which may not have been known by their family.

So, they, often, utilized this self-destructive act of escapism and self-harm during times of extreme depression, hopelessness, financial difficulties, or separation from a partner due to divorce.

Despite Bushnell, who grew up in a rigid religious group in New Orleans called the Community of Jesus, his so-called revolutionary fire-setting death wish by some, is still not viewed to be a suicide attempt. (Source:Intell)

Why? Because, some have tried to romanticize this horrible public display of death while attempting to utilize Buddhist logic to rationalize it by stating monks, who burn themselves lose neither courage nor hope. For, the act, is, believed to be constructive, not destructive.

Meaning, that a person courageous enough to set himself on FIRE, is somewhat Christlike, and sacrifices himself to save the world, which is considered the highest honor of comPASSION.

This is similar to the myth of the Egyptian Phoenix, which goes up in flames, only to rise again from its ashes like the SUN OF RIGHTEOUS WITH HEALING IN ITS WINGS. (Mal. 4:2)

According to the Intelligencer, before Bushnell set himself on Fire, he posted this message on Facebook, which stated: Many of us like to ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?”The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now.

Unfortunately, this type of religious delusion, and so-called political activism, is simply a failed attempt to cope with the reality of the world and often doesn't change anything. And, usually, leaves the person's friends and family members trying to make sense of such a horrendous act of SELF-IMMOLATION. (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: THE LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

 SUN-DAY SCHOOL CLASS: THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE by e.graham

“There is no such thing as absolute superiority in this universe! At night, a tiny candle wonderfully illuminates a place where the sun cannot illuminate! There will be moments and situations when even the powers considered to be the most superior will be helpless and ineffective against a weak power!”

The Holy Bible or The Helios Biblios known as the Sun Book/ or The Book of Ra, which is viewed as The Light of the World in John 9:5 states in Luke 11:33

No man, when he hath lighted a CANDLE, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a CANDLESTICK, that they which come in may see the LIGHT.

As we explore this scripture for deeper meaning, we realize that LIGHT symbolizes God's word, (Dan 5:14) wisdom, (Ecc 2:13-14), and guidance. (Ps 119:105)

It is also a beacon of hope, symbolizing the promise of salvation (Ps 27:1) and deliverance from darkness. (Matt 4:16)

With that stated, remember, again, The Bible IS NOT A HISTORY BOOK. But, a literary work filled with SIMILES, which is a comparison of one thing with another of a different kind using the words “as” or “like.” as well as METAPHORS, such as

For the LORD God IS A SUN & shield. (Ps. 84:11) Those learnt men and women will have a better understanding of this scripture (Prov: 3:13)

Why? Because, along with these metaphors and similes, this book of knowledge, which includes a collection of myths, also contains allegories (Gal 4:24)and parables (Is 35:1) as teaching tools to ENLIGHTEN (Eph 1:18) its reader.

For, LIGHT, itself, is a powerful allegory, revealing hidden truths (LK: 12:2-3)and dispelling shadows. (Ps 23:4)Its brilliance (Hab 3:4) can transform (Rom 12:2) our lives, leading us to a life of righteousness.

So, Believe in the LIGHT while you have the LIGHT, so that you may BECOME CHILDREN OF LIGHT.” John 12:36 (Source:Mehmet Murat ildan; FoudationofLife; PC)

BOBBEE BEE "THE HATER" EARTHQUAKE SHAKES THE BIG APPLE

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: EARTHQUAKE SHAKES THE BIG APPLE

According to the Guardian, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake shook the densely populated New York City on Friday.

The preliminary location of the epicenter was believed to be near Lebanon, New Jersey around Tewksbury, and Whitehouse Station, which are all located in Hunterdon County, roughly in a 10-mile radius.

People reportedly felt the quake in Connecticut, Massachusetts,  Boston, and Philadelphia.

The tremors lasted a few seconds and shook the ground along the 200-mile border of New Hampshire.

All of this took place within days of the total solar eclipse, dubbed the Great North American Eclipse, which will take place on Monday, April 8, 2024.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. (Job 9:7)

But, "There is nothing NEW under the sun..."Ecc (1:9)

Why? Because, let's not forget one of the deadliest earthquakes took place in 1976 in Tangshan, China, where over 300,000 people lost their lives.

But, according to the Bible Dictionary, there were several notable earthquakes, which allegedly occurred during ancient times.

Especially, in mythical Israel.-ISIS-(Moon) RA (Sun) EL (Saturn)

For instance, there was an earthquake during the reigns of biblical characters, Uzziah, King of Judah, and Jeroboam, King of Israel, which the Prophet Zechariah wrote about  in (Zec. 14:5) that stated: " yea, ye shall flee, like ye fled before the earthquake" along with the prophet Amos, who prophesized about this devastating event two years in advance in (Amos 1:1), which caused fissures in the earth, avalanches, loud rumbling noises, and destructive fires, which was highlighted in (Num.16:32;) that stated: "the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men...")

With this earth-shaking biblical event, one can't forget the GREAT EARTHQUAKE, which occurred in Macedonia when Paul and Silas were in jail at Phillippi, where "the FOUNDATIONS of the prisons were shaken (Act16:26)

But, the most infamous earthquakes, however, allegedly occurred at the crucifixion of JESUS CHRIST in Matt. (27:51-54,) "where, BEHOLD, the veil of the temple was torn in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did QUAKE, and the ROCKS were broken apart" along with QUAKE that occurred at His resurrection (Matt 28:2); "when beHold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven..."

Remember, these scriptures have hidden meanings...(1 Cor 2:7)

For, according to biblical scholars, earthquakes are used to symbolize God's or Allah's DIVINE POWER (2 Sam.22:8),  PRESENCE (Ps.68:8), REVELATION (Ex. 19:18). and JUDGEMENT, which Ezek.38:19-23 states: "...in the FIRE of my WRATH have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall SHAKE at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground."

With that said, remember, Christ stated that there would be "famines, pestilences, & EARTHQUAKES in various places......, (which) ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS (Matt 24:7-8) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com) If you like what you are CashApp ($JeffreyBarnes) Sponsored by the Brains From Coltrane & #TheRapProfessor.

BOBBEE BEE "THE HATER" TRUMP DON'T LOOK AT THE SUN DOING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE

 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."-Matt 15:14

FOUL OR FUMBLE?

TRUMP DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN DOING THE ECLIPSE!

The brightness from the sun is so powerful during an eclipse that it can burn holes in your eyes that won't heal.  But, despite, the danger, on August 21, 2017, it appeared, as if, former President Donald Trump looked directly at the sun on the White House Portico, where he and former First Lady Melania Trump assembled to watch the rare event wherein the sun, moon, and Earth falls perfectly in line.

The event is highlighted in (Amos 8:9), which reads - "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:"

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: PINK LADIES, WILD PARTIES & BAD BOYS WITH P. DIDDY

The best party places & the million-peso prostitutes at the most ostentatious parties are not in the hands of the traditional adult “patrons" of the drug trade, but of daring youngsters who have learned to ‘cook’ tusi in their own kitchens and have taken the monopoly of money & beautiful women away from cocaine traffickers”-J.Quintero, a sociologist & researcher at Social Technical Action,

PINK LADIES, WILD PARTIES & BAD BOYS by e.graham

With the recent raids on Bad Boy Music Mogul, Sean "Puffy" Combs' Houses by Homeland Security, there have been a lot of questions about Pink Cocaine, which has the street name of Tucibi, circulation on the internet, and in Barber Shops. So, today, I will attempt to explore this topic.

According to Vice News, Tucibi, which is a Latinization of the word 2-CB, a psychedelic drug known as "Pink cocaine," is: “[…] imported from South America, which, within the last couple of years, has become the fifth most popular drug in Colombia and is a regular on the narcotic menu in countries such as Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, Chile, & Panama.

Despite its popularity, however, it, often, contains neither cocaine nor the psychedelic drug known as “2C-B.” Truthfully, it is a mixture of cheaper substances like ketamine, caffeine, and ecstasy mixed with pink food coloring, sometimes, smelling like 'wild" strawberries, in an attempt to make it more marketable, which leaves its users in a dangerous predicament & potentially with an extreme addiction problem.

Despite this fact, in Colombia’s major cities, the drug has become synonymous with a new generation of young narcos who are making & selling the drug for use in the country’s late-night club scenes and within the lucrative overseas tourist sex trade. This is interesting because  Puffy Daddy is being investigated for s-x trafficking along with "drug trafficking" while "allegedly" using this fashionable drug of choice, which is known as the nightclub narcotic that is frequently found on South Beach, in Miami.

Maybe, this is why Homeland Security got involved in this case against Puffy Combs?

Why? Because, GHB, (gamma hydroxybutyrate) an illegal drug commonly found around the dance and party scene, known as a 'DATE RAPE DRUG, is, often, mixed in this PINK POWDER, making it hard to detect if slipped into a drink at a party. For, it is normally used as an anesthetic, depressing the central nervous system, which leaves the "victim" drowsy, in a comatose state, where they can potentially lose consciousness, memory, their sense of time and identity as well as their muscle control, coordination,

 & vision.

Surprisingly, rapper Kanye West mentioned "tripping" after "allegedly" using this drug in a song entitled "Yikes" in 2018, which contained these lyrics:

Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help

Sometimes I scare myself, myself

Tweakin', tweakin' off that 2CB, huh?

Is he gon' make it? TBD, huh

Thought I was gon' run, DMC, huh?

I done died and lived again on DMT, huh

See this a type of high that won't come down

Tweakin', tweakin' off that 2CB, haan?

This is why your bitches fuck with me, huh

Smash, she gon' end up on TV, huh?

Last thing that you ever wanna see, huh

I can feel the spirits all around me

I think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me

They know I got demons all on me.

Man, there are many levels to this story after really listening to Ye.

Yet, there is far more to be explored...

Why? Because, this pink substance is "allegedly" a cheap knock-off version of "the godfather of ecstasy" Alexander Shulgin's synthesized psychedelic drug, first introduced in 1974, which was both a hallucinogen and a stimulant. Shulgin, a former chemist, according to the Guardian, introduced his research about MDMA to a psychiatrist friend, Leo Zeff, a pioneering psychedelic therapist and researcher focused on LSD, who was so astounded by the drug's powers that he traveled the US administering the drug to thousands of patients before it found its way into Dallas nightclubs, fuelling the 1980s acid house dance-drug craze.

But, now, in the hands of modern-day drug traffickers, they have made cheaper version by lacing it with any and everything from amphetamine, LSD; other synthetic street drugs, along with cocaine, ecstasy, THB, heroin, meth, and even Fentanyl. This, however, depends on the maker, who decides what goes into this toxic pink Frankenstein mix-mosh concoction.

Therefore, despite being marketed as a designer drug,  it really is a garbage can of drugs, which has been labeled a chemical version of playing"Russian Roulette" due to its intensity and dangerous outcomes, which mimics the effects of cocaine

For this reason, Tuci, even though glamorized, as PINK LADY, ROSA, or PINK, this pink powder, is, usually, snorted and distributed within raves and club drug scenes, whose participants, oftentimes, young,  inexperienced drug users, use it as a form of escapism, a mood stimulator "like Ecstasy" to reach a sense of euphoria, along with a"touchy-feely sensation"increased energy or high while hallucinating in order feel and dance to a pulsating beat for hours on end until they are HOOKED, with side effects of anxiety, depression, paranoia, seizures, and insomnia.

Despite, all of this information, Sean "Puffy" Combs is STILL "INNOCENT" UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY; regardless of the rumors, YouTube conspiracy theories, 50-cent memes, and court of public opinion.

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: MOMMIE DEAREST IN THE SPIRIT GYPSY ROSE

 ....the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother...Luke 12:53

SUN-DAY SCHOOL LESSON: MOMMIE DEAREST IN THE SPIRIT GYPSY ROSE by e.graham

Today in our Sun-day School Lesson, we are discussing the Jezebel spirit, which, from a biblical perspective, may appear in narcissistic and abusive mothers.

Be mindful that the term Jezebel means "an imprudent woman or a woman, who does not care about her actions. Or, one who lacks discretion, wisdom, or good judgment.

In the biblical sense, a Jezebel spirit refers to a demonic influence, that causes to create rifts in the church and in marriages through cunning, deception, and seduction.

Therefore, if someone has ever told you, “You’re such a Jezebel,” you can probably assume it wasn’t a compliment.

For, the biblical character, Jezebel was the wicked queen, and wife to the evil King Ahab, who had a reputation for murder, iniquity, and sexual promiscuity. She not only served as a thorn in the side of the prophet Elijah(1 Kin 19,) leading Israel astray in their foreign worship of idols (1 Kings 18),  taking the throne with King Ahab during a time of political uncertainty, slaughtering the Lord’s prophets (1 Kings 18:4), wrongfully killing a man to take possession of his vineyard (1 Kin 21:1-22:53),  and murdering anyone who protested her introduction of Baal worship into the kingdom. (Source:CP)

With this biblical myth, engulfed in symbolism, this is an excellent topic for our Sunday School Lesson. Especially, with all the national attention surrounding Gypsy Rose, who was a victim of Munchausen by proxy, a psychological disorder marked by attention-seeking behavior by a caregiver, often the mother, who seeks to gain attention by seeking medical help for exaggerated or made-up symptoms of a child in their care.

With this story as the backdrop,  I encourage one to watch the "classic" 1981 movie MOMMIE DEAREST, starring Faya Dunaway, which is about Joan Crawford, a dedicated and career-driven actress at MGM, who, despite, having a successful acting career, longs to have a child, but is unable to conceive and suffers a series of miscarriages. As a result, she adopts two children. A boy named Christopher and a girl named Christina, whom she lavishes with attention and luxury, such as an extravagant birthday party, but also enforces a strict code of discipline, which leads the daughter to rebel against her abusive, destructive, and jealous spirit (Prov 1:30), which is fueled by alcohol. (Eph 5:18)

As one tries to comprehend all of that; understand, (2 Tim 2:7) narcissistic and abusive mothers, who display this type of behavior can cause  their daughters to experience a more severe or cancerous case of complex PSTD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which may include: 1.) Nightmares 2.) Flashbacks 3.) Hypervigilance 4.) Fear or anxiety 5.) An increase in Fight or Flight mode 6.) Panic Attack and 7.) Possible Sleep Disorder.

Why? Because, a narcissistic and abusive mother is often times careless, manipulative, and domineering, not only, physically but verbally as well. (1 Cor 15:33)

They, in fact, belittle their daughters so much that they feel physically, psychologically, and emotionally abandoned.

Especially, at a young age, during their early childhood development stages and teenage years, which makes them feel trapped, afraid, and "motherless," due to the constant trauma placed upon them by a mother, who lacks empathy, while STONEWALLING them, which, unfortunately,  leaves many to develop a SENSE OF HELPLESSNESS because they can't live up to their HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

This, of course, creates a form of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE, a term for the state of discomfort felt when two or more modes of thought contradict each other. In other words,  the person denies the negative behavior placed upon them by the mother, which comes in the form of cursing, disrespect, backstabbing, and lying) ONLY to accept the GOOD things (birthday gifts, hugs, a place to stay, and home-cooked meals.)

This, however, comes with a PRICE. For, a narcissistic and abusive mother, "consciously or subconsciously" will utilize this to CONTROL, EXPLIOT, and have POWER over their daughters, until they SUFFOCATE them through isolation or manipulation.

For instance, a narcissistic mother, who may have internalized their only trauma and abuse, will, oftentimes, inflict it upon their own daughters. Hence, many, due to jealousy and self-centeredness, will, sadly work against their own daughters to FAIL.

Why? Because, the daughter, seems, as if, she has more opportunity, is more attractive, or has the potential to have a BETTER LIVE than the mother. So, she SELF-SABOTAGES her own daughter by selling "A WRONG PERCEPTION" (Prov. 19:5) about her to other people by saying: "She is conceited. Difficult to work with. Has anger management issues and is evil" until she breaks her spiritually while becoming possessed with the demonic spirit of a "Jezebel" or the psychological archetype of the "wicked witch" looking in the mirror and asking " Who is the  "fairest of them all." (2 Kings 9:30)

Case in point, if they didn't go to college, they will work hard to convince their daughters not to go to school by placing DOUBT into their minds or suggesting they are not smart enough to attend.

If they were a teen mother, they would be extra strict on their daughters about sex and not having a baby in  (HS)

 but in their COLDEST OF HEART, (Heb 3:)DESIRES that she does. So, they can CHASTISE them and relish in the fact that they ended up just like them (Ezk 16:44-45) : by not breaking that generational Curse, which continues to plague their family. (Num 14:18 )

Despite this, seemingly, powerful spirit,  causing havoc, in our families and within our community, remember, it will be destroyed in the end. (2 Kings 9:10-12) (Study Show Thyself Approved)"And whosever of you will be the chiefest, SHALL BE SERVANT OF ALL"-Mark 10:44 

BOBBEE BEE: IS THE MILITARY GETTING READY TO GIVE-OUT MARCHING ORDERS

IS THE MILITARY GETTING READY TO GIVE-OUT MARCHING ORDERS

Is it a mere coincidence? There was a terrorist attack in Moscow, which was blamed on ISIS by US Intelligence. But, stated was Ukraine by Russian government officials in March.

In recent history, from the Vietnam War to the present, the month of March has been chosen by Pentagon and NATO military planners as the “best month” to go to war. With the exception of the War on Afghanistan (October 2001) and the 1990-91 Gulf War, all major US-NATO and allied led military operations over a period of more than half a century –since the invasion of Vietnam by US ground forces on March 8, 1965– have been initiated in the month of March.

For the Romans, the month of March (Martius) marked “the time to start new military campaigns.” As in the heyday of the Roman Empire, the US Department of Defense has a mandate to plan & implement a precise “timeline” of military operations.

Do Pentagon military planners favor the month of March? Do they also –in some mysterious fashion– “idolize” Mars, the Roman God of War?

Here is the timeline of March US Military Interventions (1965- 2017)

The US Congress adopted the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which authorized President Lyndon Johnson to dispatch ground forces to Vietnam on March 8, 1965. On 8 March 1965, 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam marking the beginning of “America’s ground war”.

The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was code-named the US Operation “Noble Anvil”. started on March 24, 1999, and lasted until June 10, 1999.

The War on Iraq was launched on March 20, 2003. (Baghdad time) The US-NATO-led invasion of Iraq started on 20 March 2003 on the pretext that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

(The 1991 Gulf War on Iraq began on 17th January. However, after the 28th February ceasefire was agreed and signed – following the Basra Road massacre of withdrawing soldiers and fleeing civilians on 26th/27th February – the US 24th Mechanised Infantry Division slaughtered thousands on 2nd March.”)

*The US-NATO Covert War on Syria was initiated on March 15, 2011, with the incursion of Islamist mercenaries and death squads in the southern city of Daraa on the border with Jordan. The terrorists were involved in acts of arson as well as the killings of civilians. This incursion of terrorists was from the very outset supported covertly by the US, NATO, and its Persian Gulf allies: Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

*NATO commenced its bombing of Libya on March 19, 2011.

*On 25 March 2015, an international coalition led by Saudi Arabia and supported by the US launched air strikes against the Huthi armed group in Yemen.

*Recent statements suggest that a military intervention directed against Venezuela is on the drawing board of the Pentagon. President Pence was categorical in this regard at the Lima Group meeting in Bogota (February 25, 2019).

Various scenarios are contemplated. “There is no turning back,.. All options are on the table.” said Pence.

Meanwhile, the US has sent special forces into Colombia, and US Air Force “reconnaissance flights” have been dispatched to the Venezuelan coast to “gather classified intelligence”. At this stage, while there is evidence of “war preparedness” there is no firm evidence as to the timeline or nature of a US-sponsored operation involving Colombia and Brazil.

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: YEEZUS & P.DIDDY: THE CULT OF BLACK CELEBRITY

YEEZUS: THE CULT OF BLACK CELEBRITY by e.graham

Sometimes, we must utilize the lives of others and make them our books, in which, we should study to learn from their success as well as their failure. Which, unfortunately, we are watching, now, with our brother Sean "Puffy" Combs, who is showing us the words of Proverbs 16:18, in realtime- that states: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

So, today, on Thoughtful Tuesday, our Sunday School lesson is about the Cult of Black Celebrity, which came from our “beloved” brother Kanye West, who showed us, despite all of his Narcissism, that Black success still desires white validation, which usually comes in the form of award shows-that, unfortunately; offer us nothing-but “valueless” trinkets, trophies, and toys. Or, the Key to the City given to Diddy by Mayor Eric Adams, last year.

Because, despite all of West's accolades and arrogance, all of this "worthless “stuff,” seemingly, still matters to him and us. Especially, with his past on-stage antics-when he interrupted singer Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, now considered the biggest POP star in the world.

Because Beyoncé’ didn’t win….that cheap MTV Music award

Despite, this little public hiccup, he went overboard, when he and Candance Owens wore White Lives Matter Tee-Shirts and stated George Floyd died of a Fentanyl overdose and was not murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin

Yes, West has morphed into an extreme exaggeration of the Cult of Black Celebrity, who, “unsuccessfully,” try to escape from their blackness by buying into whiteness, while living in a Black body in the white space of Hollywood. Whether it comes in their desire or fetish to have a white lover or their odd promotion of some form of white supremacy.

In Kanye’s case, he expressed it by proudly wearing a “Let’s Make America Great Again” hat and foolishly saying that- “slavery was a choice,” which seemingly came straight out of the Alt-Right handbook- that would, in his mind, allow him access into a world of unattainable white wealth.

We saw this play out on Celebrity Apprentice, where Donald Trump constantly fired and embarrassed former celebrities, who still desired the attention and adulation from their fictional boss.

Unfortunately, being on the show never really paid off for anyone, who chose to be humiliated on it. For instance, the hated Black villain-ness, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, despite her loyalty and devotion to Trump, eventually found herself getting thrown under the segregated bus as well as out of the White House.

See, no matter, how Kanye or Omarosa tried to tap dance around the real issue and the reality of racism, it still existed when Donald Trump's name was mentioned.

So, whether West’s crazy appearance on TMZ, was a twisted plot on the Kardashian-reality TV show, a political distraction from the war in Syria, or simply a mental meltdown or a mental breakthrough, according to Kanye. His actions showed us that the alleged “greatest entertainer ever” was metaphorically living in “a house without mirrors,”-Michael Jackson-style, where somehow, he had forgotten about his own reflection as well as what he was reflecting the rest of the outside world.  Especially, in the land of Holly-weird, a modern-day version of Sodom & Gomorrah, where attention has become the “new” currency if people are willing to pay attention to it.

This attention, of course, is driven by trolls, who penetrate lost souls, with hearts, -seeking love, bruised egos, with hateful comments- seeking acceptance, and ideas, through like buttons, which get murdered if they are not liked or shared. Especially, if it is music, an album, or an unwatched video.

Yes, we have all “secretly” had our Kanye moment, myself included, by posting our emotional comments and rants about people, who have hurt us, voicing our uninformed “opinions” on issues with little knowledge or political education about the realities of a certain situation - in our quest to be “deep” or Facebook famous, while trying to obtain Trump-like Twitter followers, by (sometimes) uploading ill-advised photos on Snapchat, with “hidden” desires to be Instagram Supermodels or PornStars by getting butt implants. Or, highlighting how gangsta-we really are-by foolishly displaying all our  guns and drugs on our bed on Facebook, while bragging without fearing that someone watching it-won’t report our actions and location to the local police.

Yes, in the world of Reality-TV, this is the “craziness” of the Cult of Black Celebrity, which some say- is a form of cultural prostitution, where Black bodies, ideas, and expression, are used, abused, exploited, trashed, and even killed after they are deemed useless-only to replaced by a younger model or version, who, unfortunately, fail to learn from the past of those that came before them.

And, sadly, repeat the same mistakes.

See, unfortunately, our entertainers can never be our liberators.

Because, they live for the applauds of others, where ever it may come from.....And, when the applauds start to stop-and the cheers begin to turn to boos. They begin to unravel and unfold.

Yes, Kanye showed us that he was only an “expression of wealth,” who was spiritually broken while complaining about being financially in debt and a “slave” to his own “Dark, Twisted Fantasies,” where he believed that love and wearing a cheap-looking red Trump hat could somehow eliminate racism and change the landscape of American history in a blink of an eye.

Because, despite all his alleged “Black genius, Black riches, and Black mobility through materialism,” he still found himself powerless and pointless in the hierarchy of Hollywood, who only saw him as just an “Uppity,loud-mouth”Ni#**-that made beats and designed high priced sneakers for the fashion world, which he didn’t have access to.

See, regardless, of his so-called popularity and “free-thought” philosophy-(no different from Puffy, who now finds himself, under investigation for sexual assault and human trafficking- Kanye, found out, that he didn’t have enough cash to buy his way into the room and out of trouble.

Especially, when nobody invited him to the party, in the first place. OJ couldn’t do it. Tiger couldn’t do it. Michael couldn’t do it. And, Bill Cosby couldn’t do it, either.

Therefore, maybe, Trump will give him some “Hush Money,” to

 shut him up as he did Stormy Daniels.

Because, Bruh, you just got “F*#@ed,” without a condom. So, good luck, with the “new” album, they will probably give you a Grammy for it. Because, without knowing it, you have done so much to advance their cause…."But, brother, don't forget the lyrics of your old song; Jesus Walks 'cause the Devil is trying to break me down.  (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT

THOUGHT-FUL TUESDAY: CAN YOU SEE THE LIGHT by e.graham

Today on THOUGHTFUL Tuesday, we continue to remind those students or "children of light" (Eph 5:8) about that wonderful book known as the Helios Biblios, The Sun Book, or The Holy Bible, is a collection of myths, legends, mathematical formulas, and astrological phenomenons, which uses figurative language, parables, and symbols to communicate a spiritual truth, religious principle, or moral lesson.

With that said, remember, a symbol, by definition, is an object or signal that stands for something else; usually a visible image that represents a concept, or reference point for invisible things not seen by the naked eye. Hence, in most cases, it is "HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT."

For instance, according to the Bible Dictionary, a LAMP is a simple oil-burning vessel used for lighting a house. But, in the Jewish tradition, the LAMP is viewed as a decorated MENORAH, a seven-branched lampstand that appeared in the TABERNACLE (EX 25:31-40, ) which King Sol-OM-ON made ten similar lamps for His Temple (1 Kin. 7:49) that are equivalent to 10 Virgins in The Book of Matthews and Sefirots of the Kabba-Allah within Jewish Mysticism. Which are 1. Wisdom, 2. Understanding, 3. Knowledge, 4. Kindness, 5.Strength, 6. Beauty, 7. Victory, 8. Splendor, 9. Foundation, and 10. Kingship.

However, one must UNDERSTAND, while reading these scriptures, that the BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF GOD, which is stated clearly in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "What? Know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you...The Question, for those, Bible believers, is: What do those 7 candlesticks represent?

In reviewing this ancient symbolism, understand, the LAMP is a symbol of UNDER-STANDING (2 Sam. 22:29), GUIDANCE (Prov. 6:23), and LIFE (Job 21:17). Hence, John The Baptist, who is considered, one of TWIN PILLARS, in the Masonic LORE was "the burning and shining LAMP, which a term that comes from Latin, a light, torch, Gk, beacon of light" in whose LIGHT the "Jews" of the day rejoiced (John 5:35)

Plus, Jesus Christ, who is viewed in (John 8:12) as " THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD" stated that those who reject this divine LIGHT would bring judgment upon themselves (John 3:19-21).

Therefore, Jesus uses the parable of the WISE and FOOLISH virgins (Matt 25:1-13), taking enough OIL, which to keep the LAMPS, synonymous with the HEART burning represents GOOD WORKS done in obedience to JESUS TEACHING. Because, not taking enough oil to keep the LAMPS burning represented DISOBEDIENCE to Christ, whose WORD, the Bible, was frequently represented as LIGHTS or LAMPS to EN-LIGHTEN and GUIDE believers, which (1 John 1:5) states: "Your word is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path (Ps.119:105)

What is interesting about these parables or riddles, however, is that it is directed toward the female, which the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad stated; 75% of the teachings or work were designed for...

So, one shouldn't be shocked to learn that LIGHT is also used as a symbol of HOLINESS and purity, which Paul, who describes himself as "a Hebrew of the Hebrews" (Phil.3:5) counseled the Christians at Rome to "put on the armor of Light (Rom.13:12)

Plus, The Holy Quran states: ALLAH is the Light of the "Heavens" and the earth. The example of His Light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass as if it were a pearly white STAR lit from the oil of a blessed olive tree, neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of All Things. (25:61)

With this divine revelation, one shouldn't be surprised that this LAMP, in the Holy Quran. is located in the HEART of man and woman, which coincides with The Bible, in which Matthew 5:8 states - "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

So, Let your Light Shine. If you like what you are learning Cash App ($JeffreyBarnes) (www.bobbeethehater.blogspot.com

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: THE MORAL DISENGAGEMENT OF THE JOKER

 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness...Isaiah 5:20

SUN-DAY CLASS: THE MORAL DISENGAGEMENT OF THE JOKER by e.graham

Today, we continue our study on DARK TRIAD PERSONALITIES, which are part of the psyche of two legendary rivals within the DC Universe, one being BATMAN, now known as THE DARK KNIGHT, who represents LAW & ORDER and the other being The Joker, who is associated with CHAOS.

When studying these two iconic foes, remember that they both possess the three personalities associated with the  DARK TRIAD,  which are:

1. NARCISSISM, which derives from the Greek mythology story of Narcissus, who was a hunter who falls in love, becomes obsessed with his reflection in a pond of water and eventually drowns. Psychologically, this person is selfish, arrogant, lacking empathy, boastful, and sensitive to criticism & insults. 2. Next, is MACHIAVELLIANISM, which originates from the famous Niccolo Machiavelli, a 16th-century politician and diplomat from Italy, who is associated with manipulation, self-interest, lack of emotion, absence of morality, and deceit.

And, finally,3. PSYCHOPATHY, who has a antisocial behavior that is manipulative, expresses volatility, lacks empathy, & shows little remorse. They are also emotionally cold and impulsive, prone to taking significant risks. (Source: SimPsy)

Along with a combination of these rare personality traits,  these dark souls, which are consuming the DARK KNIGHT & THE JOKER, also practice a form of MORAL DISENGAGEMENT, which is the process by which an individual convinces him/herself that ethical standards or (What's RIGHT or WRONG) do not apply to him/herself within a particular situation or context, according to world-renowned social psychologist Albert Bandura.

Moral disengagement, in fact, can be broken down into four categories: 1. Moral Justification, "I had to kill him. 2. DIFFUSING RESPONSIBILITY."The Devil Made Me Do It!!" 3. NO CONSEQUENCES FOR MISCONDUCT "It's not that serious" 4. DEHUMANIZATION OF VICTIM-"You brought this on yourself."

Along with their moral disengagement, a person such as THE JOKER utilizes PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE, which includes intimidation, harassment, stalking, extreme jealousy, public ridicule, verbal abuse, physical abuse, triangulation, gaslighting, marital infidelity, and threats of lawsuits to get their way.

This, of course, is part of their CALCULATED mind game.

For, they love to control the narrative.

So, they humiliate, belittle, exploit, harm, and mistreat, while plotting and planning one's downfall, which they enjoy witnessing up close and afar. This is a result of their "my way or the highway attitude," which intensifies with their sense of invincibility. Even, if this philosophy, doesn't work for them.

Why? Because, their dark personality is fueled by rage and internal anger, which, usually, ends with immature temper tantrums and arguments. But, their sense of entitlement & idealistic viewpoint of themselves won't allow them to listen to anybody else.

Most of the time, this is due to their detachment from reality, which leads them to live in a fantasy world, or in an alternative universe, where they believe in their own stardom and that they are THE AUTHORITY OF ALL, which, oddly, leads them into having a destructive GOD-COMPLEX.

So, they harper about their accomplishment, and their wealth, and love to show off by having huge weddings, large parties, and big events, where they can be seen or viewed as being important.

Even when others don't attend, refuse to acknowledge them, and the event fails to deliver the "punch," that they predicted or desired.

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: THE DARK TRIAD PERSONALITY OF THE DARK KNIGHT

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things."-Isaiah 45:7

THOUGHTFUL-THURSDAY: THE DARK TRIAD PERSONALITY OF THE DARK KNIGHT by e.graham

Today, we will be discussing the DARK TRIAD, which consists of the 3 personality traits, which include Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy.

1. NARCISSISM derives from the Greek mythology story of Narcissus, which is about a hunter who falls in love, becomes obsessed with his reflection in a pond of water, and eventually drowns. Psychologically, this person is selfish, arrogant, lacking empathy, boastful, and sensitive to criticism and insults. 2. Next, is MACHIAVELLIANISM, which originates from the famous Niccolo Machiavelli, a 16th-century politician and diplomat from Italy, who is associated with manipulation, self-interest, lack of emotion, absence of morality, and deceit.

And, finally,  3. PSYCHOPATHY,  a personality associated with antisocial behavior, being manipulative, expressing volatility, lacking empathy, and being without remorse. They are emotionally cold and impulsive, prone to taking significant risks. (Source: SimPsy)

As one tries to grasp those concepts, remember it was comedian Kat Williams, who joked, "If you want to know, who your greatest  ENEMY is; look right next to you."

But, with that said, could you spot a person displaying these DARK TRIAD TRAITS?

Why? Because, most of them are chaotic beings, cold and callous, engaging in relationship restlessness while seeking sensation. For, they love drama. They also have a deep affection for spreading lies and creating arguments due to their destructive spirit, which is based upon the principle of "DIVIDE & CONQUER."

Remember, for them, CONFRONTATION is VINDICATION

Why? Because they HATE peace and are stimulated by negativity.

But, from the outside, looking in, they look, as if, they have the perfect life or the perfect wife. However, despite being married, they are unhappy, never wanted to have children, and have the willingness to engage in unrestricted sexual relationships or causal sex with strangers with no fear of obtaining sexually transmitted diseases or being caught.

Despite this, however, their partner or spouse, unfortunately, develops traumatic bonds with these individuals, who, subtly; over time- after a cycle of abuse, trickery, and "love-bombing" convince them not to divorce them or leave them.

For this reason, one of the greatest examples of a TRAUMATIC BOND is the partnership between Batman, who represents JUSTICE & ORDER &  The Joker, who symbolizes an unpredictable force of CHAOS. For, the Dark Knight can't exist without him. Why? Because, they are internally connected, and linked eternally together.

This is similar to the legend of God vs the Devil within the Biblical text. Which, is the duality of the soul dancing together. For, one has often asked, "Why doesn't God just kill the Devil? Or, "Why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker?

Because, the Joker possesses the Dark Triad Personality Traits of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy that were discussed at the beginning of this article along with Batman.

Understand, with caution, that this Dark Triad personality is, usually, stems from dysfunctionality created in the home and toxic relationships formed outside of it. So, they desire short-term interactions instead of long ones, which they often sabotage as a way to deal with or not to deal with their possible fear of failure or abandonment issues.

However, due to their Machiavellianism, they, often, have a victim-blaming spirit and project a lot of their imperfections onto other people. So, they manipulate them to gain power, remain in power and to feel loved. (PART TWO COMING SOON) AT THE SAME BAT CHANNEL.

BOBBEE BEE THE HATER: YOU WERE BLIND BUT NOW YOU SEE (POWER OF THE PEACOCK)

SUN-DAY SCHOOL CLASS: YOU WERE BLIND BUT NOW YOU SEE by e.graham

According to scholar Hilton Hotema, the Bible can not be understood because the makers of it were governed by a desire to exalt the priesthood and enslave the masses. So, they personalized symbols and literalized allegories that appeared in the ancienthieroglyphics scrolls.

With that understanding, remember symbolism is far older than any written language and produces several different meanings. Which, unfortunately, have been concealed from those, who are unaware of their esoteric significance. This is similar to the Meta Netur or hieorglyphics painted on the walls of the pyramid, which are difficult to decipher. Plus, let's not forget, the Christ figure in the Greek version of the New Testament spoke in parable.

Case in point, in the studying the beautiful yet majestic PEACOCK is called the "soul of the world" by Heinrich Khunath, due to its dual nature. For, its VAINGLORIOUS persona is shared with its "cockiness" and PRIDE, which is one of the seven deadly sins, making it a perfect representation of the YIN/YANG.

Remember, the bible is a never-ending story about light overcoming darkness.

For this reason, the PEACOCK is associated with the sun god of Heliopolis, known as AMON-RA or (AMen) in the Bible, which represents RE-GENERATION, IMMORTALITY, and RESURRECTION. Plus, it is seen as the Benu Bird, which was depicted by fire rays from the sun and is viewed as the SOUL of man, known as the KA, because it could soar to heaven after death. Because of the escape  DEATH, it is seen as the manifestation of Ausar/Osiris, whom the Bible labeled Lazarus, who was RAISED from the DEAD by Christ.

As one tries to comprehend all of this, one shouldn't be shocked that the PEACOCK's many colorful feathers, which highlight its inner BEAUTY, were believed to be a reflection of Christ's character of kindness, compassion, humility, and love. As a result, in most Christian art, the exotic bird, attributed to the STORK in the Greo-Roman culture, represents the goddess of marriage and childbirth. So, it replaced Christ in the nativity scene.

Even, in China, during the Ming Dynasty, the PEACOCK, which represented KINSHIP, ROYALTY, and PROTECTION was a symbol of fertility and believed if looked upon by a young woman or virgin would become pregnant.

Along with being a symbol for Christ and the virgin birth, the majestic bird is also seen as THE ALL-EYE SEEING GOD. For, when it spreads its feathers, it, seems, as if, 100 eyes are staring back at you.

This is why the NBC Television Network uses the PEACOCK as its symbol. For, it was under an OATH of truth-telling. Plus, the term NEWS is a clever acronym meaning North, East, West, and South, which is depicted in the Book of Ezekiel, when the prophet described a vision of a great chariot with a wheel full of eyes and four creatures. This chariot, again, in most artistic vinues, is usually, pulled by a peacock. This can be interpreted in several different ways. Especially, by the students of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam.

Similar yet different, however, in other parts of the Islamic world, the PEACOCK is viewed as the MESSENGER of God and the GUARDIAN OF PARADISE, who is often depicted with a poison snake in its beak. For this reason, it is referred to as the SERPENT SLAYER-like the Christ figure in the Book of Revelation, who is known as the DRAGON SLAYER.

This means that by expanding one's consciousness, one can defeat his or her inner demons. For, remember, the Bible is an ever-ending story about light overcoming darkness.

As you can SEE, there are a lot of things hidden in plain sight, that one may have not been aware of. This is why the scripture stated

As we dig a little deeper, this magical bird of India, who flew the God Kishnu on her back, is also associated with the Hindu God of War, Karitiyka as well as BRAHMA and his wife SARAsvati, which is equivalent to Abraham and Sara of the Bible. It, in fact, has one of its elaborate feathers in the hair of KRISNA along with the hair of the street prophet NOBLE DREW ALI of the Moorish Science TEMPLE as well.

Now, from a street level, when LOOKing at the word Peacock, it is a combination of two words PEA and "COCK"

A PEA, of course, is associated with a SEED, which Christ used often in parables. Most notably in Matthew Chapter 13. He, shockingly, even compared His own death and resurrection in a figurative sense to the sowing of seeds in (John 12:24) Plus, anatomically, for true students of the scripture the "P" is associated with the Pineal Gland, which appears in Genesis.

As one ponders this, one definition of the term COCK, which there are many, means "a male bird" However, the word COCK also is a Middle Age term that means APPRENTICE or SERVANT.

This should cause those, who are MA-SONS to shine their lights a little brighter.

For, the crowing and crying of a cock, which is associated with the God Apollo and Mith-RA served the ancient world as an alarm clock and a WARNING sign for the tribes of Is-RA-EL. Cocks, matter of fact, were viewed as WATCHMEN, who crowed about MIDNIGHT, 3 am, and in the morning at the RAISING OF THE MORNING SUN, which drove away the darkness of the night. The crowing COCK was also utilized to signal when soliders were to ROTATE during their guard duty and SERVED as the prediction by Jesus of Peter's thrice denial. (Matt 26:34; Mark 14:30; Luke 22:34; John 13:38)
