BOBBEE BEE: THE RE-VIVAL: FROM THE BOWELS OF HELL

THE RE-VIVAL: FROM THE BOWELS OF HELL

The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad said the so-called Black man has over 76 Trillion years of History. So, I finally made it to The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C, where I had an opportunity to observe just a small portion of this vast history in the "Hells of North America.

The 400,000-square-foot Smithsonian Institution museum is an interactive historical journey from the 'bowels of hell" ...from the bottom of slave ships, to the auction blocks, from the cotton fields to so-called Freedom. 

Everyone should take this pilgrimage to DC as I did. Matter of fact, this trip to The National Museum of African American History and Culture should be a mandatory duty that must be performed,at least once, by all adults and children, who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the long climb up the "so-called Stairway to Heaven" just like the Muslim's religious trek to Mecca.

BOBBEE BEE:WAR IS A RACKET

WAR IS A RACKET
by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.

War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.

I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket. There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.

It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
