Hip Hop Culture - A Setup and Ghetto Flamboyance

 

Hip Hop Culture - A Setup and Ghetto Flamboyance

 

One of the most important rules of the underworld of criminals is do not be flamboyant.  Many gangsters have been killed  or put away in prison for long lengths of time for breaking this one basic rule. The reason for this is that flamboyancy brings too much attention to a person and his associates who is attempting to maintain a low profile. The most successful criminals in the history of mankind who experienced longevity in the life of crime did so by maintaining a low profile.  Maintaining a low profile is imperative to a successful gangster or criminal.  Most successful gangsters became known to the public as celebrities in their aftermath.

 

Sure many will say, "everyone knows who is involved in organized crime as well as criminal behavior on the street corners." But this is not always true, even though it is said.  And even if you are known as a criminal it doesn't help at all to be arrogant and smug it into the faces of law enforcement. Because by doing so you make yourself a target on the most wanted list by becoming a public enemy.  Any rational minded person knows crime exist and there are dirty cops that allow these enterprises to prosper. But bringing too much attention to yourself, your operation and associates is a poison pill to any business maneuver, legal or illegal enterprises.  The less people know about you true intentions the better.  And if your intend to make a living breaking the law, you should not boost about it by showing off.  And you must have an exit plan

 

Just like a silk suit worn by a real gangster, hanging jeans by a street hood is symbol that rings off alarms.  The first thing the police or even an ordinary citizen thinks when they see a Hip Hopper wearing pants well below his waistline is anti-social behavior.   It is the sign of criminal behaviorisms as well as ignorance. And the first person on the most wanted list of street criminals are stupid crooks, because a stupid person breaking the law is considered dangerous.  Law Enforcement has a duty to protect the public from stupid criminals, because they are the type of people who harm innocent people in the process of their criminal behaviors.

 

What most people are concerned with as far as street crime, is the violence associated with these activities. Understand that over 30,000 people are killed by gun violence every year in this country, with over 100,000 shot by guns.  These are startling statistics and because of this a street hood shouldn't do anything to associate himself with this fact.

 

Many psychologist have weighed in on the Hip Hop culture and hanging jeans and have determined that these kids are angry.  No rational criminal wants people and especially law enforcement to think for a moment that he is angry. It is one thing to be a businessman breaking the law and another to be an angry person committing crimes. A criminal shouldn't want people to fear him when they can like him.  Because it is one thing to be ruthless  and another to be feared. And the difference is a feared man is a target to be killed or snitched out due to fear, because a person will setout to destroy he who he fears and a liked person is never suspected of killing until he is caught.

 

Now this is not a lesson on how to be a good crook, because good or bad being a crook is wrong.  But it is a lesson on ghetto survival techniques. Because often people who play into these ghetto flamboyant fashion statements are really actually harmless, yet they are perceived as stupid crooks that need to be removed from the streets for public safety.  And it is sad because often they take the heat off of the real criminals who hide behind these foolish actors and shields, not being paid by Hollywood or anyone else for that matter.

 

Why do you think crime seems to never stop, even as many people constantly get busted everyday?  We all know people who are in jail or recently got busted and is on their way to prison. Yet crime continues to constantly move forward and is getting worst. Why? The answer is because the real crooks are not to be seen. They are not flamboyant on the streets. When they dress up they dress up to go to church or to work, to show off their new rags. They go by the names Doctor, Mister, Misses and reverend and not "Stone Dog" or some other nick name. They are church goers and politicians and do not hangout on the streets getting drunk and high everyday.  But they do their dirt in the privacy of their own homes in private or among their clandestine circle.  And after they are finished using the street thug, they are the ones who call 911, because they are the 411. They know everything, because they fabricate the rules of the streets.

The Mexican Slave Trade in Highlands County Florida

 

The sad and true story starts with the Mexican and American governments.  The product is agriculture.  As we have the fruit and vegetables; they have the labor.  Farmers know what is going on; the American government knows what is going on and certainly the people of Mexico know what is going on.

 

The Mexican underworld is no joking matter.  They are into drugs, but everybody knows about the drug cartels.  They get all the negative media because of the drug wars around the world.  But the Mexican Underworld consist of people we see everyday in America.  They are sanctioned by the Mexican and American governments.  They are into things we in America overlook because we are greedy people.

 

I am talking about slave labor.  Sure the gangsters are into money laundering, loan sharking and drugs.  But the true culprit to all this chaos is the need for cheep labor.  We in America look the other way as these things go on right before us.  The slave trade is alive and booming in America today.

 

How it works:  The poor Mexican is offered an opportunity to come to America for $3,000.  He has no money, no job or income or place to stay in Mexico.  So of course he jumps on the opportunity to come to America on a shipment deal.  But these people are no joke and if they do not pay up they will be killed by their slave masters(the underworld). 

 

So they come to America owing $3,000 on an unwritten contract, an oral contract made among the government of Mexico, the contractor (code for Underworld) and the farmer and US government.  The deal is that the farmer gets his fruit picked and the US government looks the other way while slave labor takes place and the Underworld operates a dictatorship and runs the slave trade in America.

 

The Mexican immigrant has a contract to spend all of his money with the Mexican contractor, for housing to the many services necessary like food and other things.  They have to pay rent to their contractor for housing, everything rides through the contractor, then the leftover money goes towards the debt to get here in the first place. 

 

They have nowhere to hide.  If they are deported they are still in debt to pay and may well have to pay for another trip back to the US.  Deportation is no way out of this debt to the Ruthless Underworld.  If they run to another state they still need assistance from the contractor’s (code for Underworld) for labor assistance. 

 

America does not see this as a problem, because they operate among themselves.  However the bottom line is slavery still exist and thrives in the Good Ole  United States of America.  And a major problem is that our main competition in the agricultural labor market here in Highlands County, Florida, they are the Mexican slaves. Which is source of very inexpensive labor.

Mankind is Enslaved by Technology

 

Mankind is Enslaved by Technology

                                                                                       

What are the set of laws for the strategic assembly of information?  What is the purpose of  intelligence gathering? And how is the information actually used?  These are questions that many Americans do not even consider to ask. Yet our survival may well depend on the answers to these questions. Because something very detrimental is going on at the highest levels of government and capitalist enterprising or big corporate America.  And as Americans while we are being diverted by the Obamacare debacle, we are not focusing on the real issue that we should be concentrating on, which is the  National Security Agency (The NSA) Conspiracy.

 

Eric Snowden opened up a serious can of worms and believe me the government is in damage control mode now and will do whatever necessary to cover-up what they are still doing. Because the problem isn't just what they did unethically or against officially authorized protocol, but their lawful protocols period are corrupt.  Many Americans were unaware of the magnitude of government and corporate intrusion within American society and now it is coming out into the open and the government does not want America to pay attention to the facts.  So they may well have produced an Obamacare debacle, to divert out attention for what is very insightful about government activity and control.

 

To think for a moment that the government could not design a working website for Obamacare is preposterous. Was this a manufactured misfortune?  Probably?  And like everything these days President Obama plausible denial clause is the basis of him not knowing anything damaging to his Administration.  He seems to not know anything about what is going on in this country. And this is totalitarianism at its best.

 

Let us take a glance at government technology.  The government has the best technology in the world, which is far beyond commercial technology. They have supercomputers designed and constructed, which are made out of solid diamonds as semiconductors and high grade gold as conductors (diamond and gold computers), which means enormously high speeds and conductivity without overheating, which operates well beyond our 3 GHz with 128 MB of RAM computers and severs. Ask yourselves what cannot be done with such a machines with the proper software?  So be aware of the governments capabilities in designing supercomputers. What the government has in secret locations is not what we see at the local Social Security Office of the Veterans Affairs.  These downed computers are diversions from reality. Understand they can do whatever they please. And the Obamacare website is all a front for a more important agenda and our Congressman and Congresswoman know this or are incompetent. It is part of a cover-up campaign. It is not about Obamacare!

 

We are being informed as to how intrusive the government has become within the communications protocol. But what we are being told is just the tip of an iceberg.  We know because they admitted it (that) they listen in on everyone's phones calls. But they also listen in or eavesdrop on everyone's internet and computer usages without even going on the internet, because the microchips in these computers allow for these governmental intrusive measures.  The government doesn't only watch your Facebook pages and You-tube or Goggle and Yahoo, but they know your every move when on a computer or near one, all the way down to you quarries on the world wed web or personal letters on Microsoft Word.

 

While we think the computer allows us to find more information faster, which is the benefit of computers, we forget that while we can move around the world wed web, so can everyone else, so is it really an independent advantage?  What is really our edge?  But what we really seem to ignore, is that the more we learn or know due to computer technology, the government learns even more about us and our ways of thinking.  And through artificial or virtual intelligence using supercomputers, the government knows more about mankind then ever before.  What the government managed to do through technology is put everyone in one place, by wiring the world via the Internet, wired and wireless communications, satellites and computers. The all seeing eye has become reality.

 

Now the really bad news!  What people fail to realize is that this is the work of the Anti-Christ. Why? Because he knows his days are limited and he wants to take as many people down with him as he can. I know!  Your heard this before!  Boring?  But did you really know that the government was as corrupt as it is?  Did you know that the government actually knows as much as it does?  And for those who argue against the Anti-Christ hypothesis, ask yourselves, if the government has this level of knowledge in the world affairs, than why so much corruption still exist everywhere?  Is not information king?

 

If the government knows about everyone's conversations, whereabouts, ideas and thoughts, why is there so much drugs on the streets and why is there so much violence everywhere?  And why all the economic problems with people without jobs, while depending on food stamps to eat?  It is because this is what they want!  Understand that 2% of the world's population owns half of the world's wealth.  And modern technology made this possible.  And through modern technology they are able to control the masses and what is sad is we are playing right into it. How?  By design we have become addicted and dependent on modern day technology to function in everyday life.  We seem to think we need our cell phones and computers, but just 30 years ago, this was something only seen in James Bond 007 movies or Star Trak.

 

And what people need to realize is that none of this was by chance based on the government improvising, but it was planned from the beginning. They knew before they introduced  these technologies what they was going to do with it. They knew it would place the world's wealth in the hands of a few and would allow for the government to control the masses by putting all of the world in one place, which is cyberspace. And they knew they would develop virtual (artificial) intelligence  to control the world actions.  Today the world actions are according to predetermined decisions by who has become known as the Illuminati. A handful of people in a society to rule over the world.  The world is wired to the supercomputers that have evolved from intelligence gathering into a mechanism of control over the masses.  So today we are absorbed by being for or against Obamacare? Why because the supercomputer said so! While politician create the platform for internal arguing and bickering.

 

Finally, the natural transition or master plan is for the One World Government to be established, which will be ruled by a handful of people.  We see it already, whereby our so-called world leaders are merely flunkies for the fitly rich. And when a government isn't ruled by them, they are destroyed for not being a democracy. Yet they are controlled and all of their decisions are made based on a handful of lobbyist.  Is that a democracy or dictatorship?  While we call America a democracy it really isn't. Because how can the people be in control of government, when the people are being controlled by the exact government they are supposed to be in control of?

 

I can go on and on, but the wise person will not be focused on Obamacare too hard, but will pay attention to the NSA conspiracy. Because it is one thing to be a slave and know it and another to think you are free when you are actually a slave.  We the people are merely slaves, but to who? That is the question!  Are we slaves to the 2% who runs the world or the technology they use to control us with?

 

The Apostle Paul

 

 

America Needs God Back in our Decision Making

 

America Needs God Back in our Decision Making

 

I remember back in my childhood, when there was an illusion (thought) that America was a Christian society.  Back then people believed that our government was a Christian government and not a manager capital ideals.  This was before the term Illuminati reached the Internet and became household conversation and when there was a lot of mysticism surrounding secret orders such as the Freemasons.  Now that I am older and wiser , I realize that this was never true, but the belief of these principles, had a positive effect on American society.

 

Our opinions about government decision making  back then was based on righteousness verse evil.  We as a people made our decisions based on our belief codes in Godliness.  Regardless as to whether  we were democrat or republican, we based our decisions on how we felt about our true understanding of God.  But through an evolutionary process, whereby we learned more about the true nature of politics, somehow the American people ourselves have become politicians and not a God fearing constituency.  We no longer try to satisfy God in our decisions, but we vote based on our party affiliations.  We no longer for based our decisions on good verses evil, but on democrat verse republican. And because of this morality has become lost within our nation.

 

Even as the American people have grown wiser about world affairs, the heads of government still controlled us with an iron fist, by using our newly gained knowledge against us. In the old days back in the 1960's often the government did unethical things without the American people being aware of it and it was said to have been done for the good of the nation as a whole. Today still the government does unethical things, said for the same reason "the good of our nation" but they do it right in front of us, without any consequences.  Why?  Because America has swayed away from Godliness.  We have become partners in partisan politics.  Forgetting there is God fearing people in the democratic, republican and independent parties, we go against each other for the sake of our party affiliations, while forgetting God in the process.

 

For this reason the power of the people has been almost destroyed, because among the people there  is no consensus (agreement or harmony) among the people. Instead of a unified voice for what is right by God which is innate within man, we have all gotten outside of ourselves based on issues of personal preferences.  We no longer fight for what is right, but for what is good for us as an individual.

 

They now have the whole country divided over Obamacare and other partisan politics, while they have been caught red-handed spying on every American and the world, stealing our privacy without just cause. But nobody in the media is making a real issue of this, there are no riots or uprisings to voice against these practices, because we have become submissive to corruption. Like never before the disparity between the wealthiest and the poorest Americans has grown, whereby only 2% of the American population actually controls our finances. Meanwhile we are fighting over Obamacare and food stamps and even this is an uphill battle for poor America. We have fallen so far behind that we have to even fight for the right of healthcare and a damn job. And the reason for this is that we the American people have become political animals, less than pawns on the chessboard that was designed for the rich.

 

Whereby when I was a child almost all senators and house representatives in the Congress were rich, so it seemed, now they use ambitious Harvard and Yale School educated graduates  to control the masses. These politicians are not in the bloodlines money, but are controlled by lobbyist, who control the money.  Making many of them mere educated sellouts. 

 

We in America now know that it takes money to gain political positions, while there is a disparity between the rich and the poor beyond reasonable calculations, yet we still play these political games not knowing we can never win, which is partisan politics based on party affiliations.  Why? Is it because we have evolved beyond Holy Scripture and having faith in God?  Are we in fact ungodly ourselves and not simply the victims of an ungodly system capitalism?  I hope not, because if this is the fact of the matter, we are in a position that is hopeless. Because why should God save the ungodly from the ungodly? 

 

If people were driven by our innate Gods fearing hearts, the will of God would rule. But somewhere down this line of newly found political awareness, we forgotten all about God and have become less than pawns in a political game designed for the rich. And we are always forgetting there is God in all people regardless of their political affiliation and the enemy is politics itself.  When democrats learn to love republicans and republicans learn to love democrats and recognize there is God in  us all, the will of the people will become the will of God and God's spirit will become the law of the land.

Obama's new battleground isn't actually America's fight

 

Obama's new battleground isn't actually America's fight

 

In the aftermath of the October 2013 government shutdown, President Obama is still finger pointing, which is putting the republican party into a defensive mode. Most people will agree that what they (the republican party) did was bad for country, but sometimes it is very hard to forgive someone for their transgressions unless they first admit they wronged you in someway.   The problem is that a few republicans do not even think they did anything wrong, but the majority of the American people think differently and the majority rules.  But still America is a forgiving nation with (RAM) Random Access Memory.

 

Now the government is open and the debt ceiling is raised and what the American people were promised was real negotiations between the two parties, in order to arrive at a bipartisan solution to our fiscal problems.  So I do not understand the problem?  Why is President Obama and the republicans still talking about the past?  Why haven't the negotiations already begun?  Do they plan on bickering and small talking until the last minute again to finger point and cast blame at the other side for the lack of progress?

 

I honestly feel that the republicans are so full of hatred towards President Obama that they are blind by their hatred. And because of this they will blindly play into President Obama's hands and eat his bait. And instead of forcing President Obama to talk about the real issues and start the negotiations, they will resort to name calling against President Obama and his policies in the public forum.  They will be reactive instead of proactive.  And this will only result in another 11th hour showdown. Already Senator McCain is talking publicly about how bad President Obama foreign policy is. What happened to real face to face negotiations?

 

And I think President Obama's real agenda now isn't resolving our problems with the 113th Congress.  But his eyes is on the 114 Congress. His eyes is on gaining about 17 seats in the House in the 2014 elections and a few more in the Senate and this can happen.  Why?  Because the republicans are divided from within and are out of touch with the demands of the majority of the American people.

 

The problem however is that what may seem as a short term problem can become long term devastation to America's economy and creditability.   It is a squeeze play being called by the Obama Administration. Because it could work if they do come to another 11th hour decision, but supposed they do not this time and we fail to pay our bills on time?  I think President Obama is playing with fire.  But his position is that he is a lame duck if this partisan politics doesn't end anyway.  Whereby a last minute decision could mean a dissatisfied America, no decision can mean the fall of America.

Ted Cruz a Cuban Leader and Racist Movement Spy?

 

Ted Cruz put himself above the radar and will certainly be scrutinized in the near future.  Ted  Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada. His parents were Cuban born Rafael Cruz, and an American mother named Eleanor Darragh. So if President Obama is billed as an African American, it would seem proper that Ted Cruz should be billed as a Cuban or Hispanic America Politician.  Yet Ted Cruz is placing himself as the head of the Tea Party Republicans, whom are known to do racist things like making racist remarks and flying Confederate flags at the White House Gates.

 

This baffles me, because the last I heard most white racist movements do not like the Hispanic population anymore than that of blacks or Jews.  The motto of the KKK was to hate anyone of color.  It would seem to me that a Ted Cruz of sorts could be no more than an interloper and not a true insider of  the Tea Party.  And I am certain they are aware of his Hispanic heritage, being he wears the name Cruz in big letters on his office door.

 

Then there is the Cuban association at question.  As we all know for many years Cuba has been a communist country, lead by Fidel Castro. And for many years they have been subsidized by Russia.  But now since Russia is broke and can no longer feed the Cuban people, the Castro family basically told them they are on there own from here on out.  Yet Rafael Cruz, who was Cuban born talks about President Obama in the same light as Fidel Castro when  it comes to promises of hope and change.  There is something wrong with this picture.  Sure I can do this, I am American!  But there is something wrong with the picture of a Cuban immigrant coming to America and bashing our President.  Because again just as Ted Cruz seems to be at most an interloper within the Tea Party, Rafael Cruz  is at most an interloper when it comes to American affairs. I mean if America is so bad, go back to Cuba and finish your fight or revolutionary tactics against Fidel Castro.

 

It just seems that the Cruz family has anti establishment roots and attitudes.  And for Mr. Rafael Cruz to speak up against America in the same light as Cuba makes me think he may have intentions of his son overthrowing our government.  Because that is what he attempted to do in Cuba.  To compare President Obama to Fidel Castro is to compare America to Cuba, but President Obama did not take office as a dictatorship, but was fairly elected in a democracy. And to make that comparison statement, is to dishonor our system of government.

 

Which brings us to Ted Cruz and his tactics.  He felt that it was alright to shutdown our government at a cost of over $20 billion. And suggested he will attempt to do it again, during the next government showdown to come in a month or so. This make me wonder, if it is a possibility that Rafael Cruz is actually a Russian spy?  A Russian spy pretending to be anti Castro?  Because of the sentiments of the Cruz clan, we have to be cautious  as to who we are dealing with. Do we really know who Rafael Cruz is?  And therefore do we really know who Ted Cruz is truly loyal to.

 

Based on his actions alone and the actions of his father, Ted Cruz and company deserves a thorough investigation by a joint effort of federal agencies to include, Homeland Security, the FBI and CIA. Because it is a fact that Rafael Cruz was involved in a foreign war whereby America had a strong interest in its outcome, which was the Cuban Revolution.  He tried to overthrow Fidel Castro so he claims and now his son is trying to overthrow America in a coup d'é·tat.   

 

I tell you there is something that simply doesn't meet the eye.  And I hate to believe that America is so angry with the idea of President Obama being President and black that they would allow a foreign power to intrude in our political process.  We must go beyond the political mambo jumbo and get an intelligent answer from this Harvard Law School graduated.  Ted Cruz what do you really want?  Ted Cruz who do you work for?

Opening the Recording Studio & Introducing Project Creativity

 

Opening the Recording Studio & Introducing Project Creativity

 

It has been about a month and a half, since our announcement concerning opening our DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Home Type Recording Studio to the public. Believe me when I say we are working diligently towards this goal.  And in the process we found some new light to help us do this. We are in the process of obtaining a fiscal sponsorship with an artistic non profit organization out of New York City. But nothing is written in stone as of yet.  But we feel confident things will work out and for this reason we are sharing this with you.

 

With a fiscal sponsor we will be able to solicit tax deductible donations and contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations and even the government to some degree, until we get our own 501 c 3.  We know we need the support of our community as well as philanthropists from other cities to fund the program we are introducing.  And we know we must also earn revenue as well, if we are to succeed.  For this reason and because we are a non profit organization, when we do charge people for some of our services it will be below the market price.

 

I am writing this article to open a discussion forum with the public about what will be required to carryout Project Creativity, the problem being addressed, our solution and the benefits we offer to our community. Please feel free to leave us a comment or some suggestions after reading this article.  We want to know how you feel about this program.

Helping the Disadvantage Young Adults

 

We think the main problem in the United States today is the jobless rate that is causing us to create a generation of hopelessness among our youth and this is amplified in the black community.  When America in general faces a recession the black communities in America already experienced a depression.  Our young blacks, sees Hollywood as an outlet that creates dreams about success, but Hollywood is often an illusion and is not reachable by most of them due to the lack of education and this degrades their moral fiber.  Because they want something that they cannot have.  Too often due to joblessness, they stay home all day and play violent video games, listen to rap music often filled with filthy language and watch fantasy television shows, only to end up turning to the  streets with nothing to do ("an idle mind is the workshop of Satan"), to poison their neighbors and themselves with drugs.  And too often this ends in violence, the loss of young lives and the incarceration of too many.  And we want to curb this!

 

They need to see a way out, today many of them would not and could accept an invitation to a better way of life, because it requires education, something many of them fear to take on the endeavor or simply do not understand the incentive in a tangible way.  Many of these young adults are even afraid to take on the simple task of obtaining a GED, to many of them this is not simple at all, but is a very complex measure.  Many of them are simply afraid to fail!  We have a problem called hopelessness in America today. 

 

The NCNCHINC has an answer that can be of help and it is Project Creativity.  A project to assist young adults at a disadvantage by channeling their artistic abilities in a productive manner, which will give them the incentive to learn needed skills like grammar and computer operations, in order to be competitive in their artistry and in life.  Thereby applying academics to their dreams of being a star and even if they fall short of stardom, they will gain something valuable from this program. 

 

The NCNCHINC Project Creativity is  non commercial artistic program for people 18 years old and above, operated by the National Community Network and Coalition of Highlands, INC., which is an established non profit organization in the State of Florida since 2009, located in the city of Avon Park in the county of Highlands. Though we are still pending our 501 c 3 statuses, we decided to team up with a fiscal sponsor called Fractured Atlas out of New York City who specializes in Artistic programs, to acquire charitable contributions from donors who require these statuses to give freely, in order to move this project along in a timely manner.

 

We own our headquarters location which is two stories tall, without any mortgages and we would like to utilize it in the development of artistic creations by our future clients and by doing so, give people in the community something to do that is constructive, dream realizing and hopefully reduce crime and prevent recidivism in the process, by giving young adults an opportunity and hope by channeling their artistic energy in a productive manner.  Though our focus is on young adults ages 18 to 35, we are open to all who people who desire to channel their creative energies in productive manner.

 

The group we are targeting are 18 to 35 years old and we have an emphasis on assisting  young adults who are chronically unemployed.  We want to give these young adults other options other than joining into a life of crime, by giving them hope and a vision for their future.  As we also attempt to help them develop an interest in the many ways to become a part on the entertainment sector and a part of mainstream society or simply develop productive hobbies they can enjoy while learning to express themselves to others.

 

We want to assist them in becoming gainfully employed.  By helping them in their search for employment, while helping them develop important skills that are imperative to the workforce.  While we conduct creative arts workshops, we want to also help them by offering them ways to apply these skills in a competitive and profitable manner, which will allow them to become self-sufficient.

 

We understand that we will be dealing with many clients accustomed to street knowledge and the ways of the streets, which means they will want to know how these things apply to real life scenarios.  They will want to see how their participation in our program, will help them be able to survive in their daily lives.  So we want to develop our program, like an assembly line or production process, whereby one thing leads to another, which brings them closer to obtaining independence.  Therefore, we feel it is imperative that our program not only develop skills for our clients, but offers them an opportunity to display and put into practice the learning processes and acquired knowledge.

 

So by design, we have workstations that develop skills and talents and creates tangible and intangible assets by our clients.  We teach them about DAW recording studio technology, so that they can record their ideas.  We do this not to put their dreams on the shelf, but so that they can also do live performance to share their works. With the hope that they might be discovered by someone who can take their hopes and dreams to another level. And not only for this reason do we  promote live shows, but it is also an avenue to creating community togetherness and recreational activities for all who participate in and enjoy.  Good recreation is good for community!

 

So by design, we have workstations that develop skills and talents and creates tangible and intangible assets by our clients.  We want to teach them how to write in our creative writing workshop, so that they can write about the things that means something to them. Not just to put their ideas on the shelf, but we want to put out a non profit newspaper as an outlet for them to share how they feel to the community and abroad.  Because we feel our young adults today are among the most misunderstood.  We want to produce articles that can be put into magazine format as well, so that they can share their ideas to the general public and learn how to profit from these skills. 

 

And ultimately, we would love to produce movies and documentaries that will allow them to express themselves in motion picture.  What I am describing here is a production process, whereby one developed skill transcends into another opportunity.  Because what is lacking in our community is opportunity.  And all we are asking is to receive community support to give these disadvantaged young adults a chance at life.

 

Though Project Creativity is open to serve the entire  adult population in Highlands County, our targeted audience is the disadvantaged young adults between the ages of 18 to 35.  When we say disadvantaged young adults, we are describing the young adult population who are chronically unemployed often due to several factors such as the lack of education, criminal records, the lack of networks and connections, residing in redlining districts, hopelessness as well as other personal issues, to include their psyche (mindset) in some cases.

 

What Project Creativity offers to them is hope, by allowing them an opportunity to express themselves through artistry and it also supply's them with communications, such as multimedia.   The idea behind Project Creativity is not only to allow them to communicate to the world they often feel and are truly misunderstood by, but to give them tools to accomplish this.  Though it is an artistic program, it is also educational, because it is our goal to give them instruction on how to properly get their points across to the world outside of the "Blue Building," in a constructive manner, which will hopefully develop into an understanding between them and the people they are attempting to reach.  By developing their computer skills, writing skills and the management skills, this can be accomplished.

 

It is our goal to make this misunderstood population, understood and accepted by those whose doors are shut or closed to them.  We want to be a pathway and a conduit to close  the chasms that prevents these disadvantage young adults from gaining opportunities in furthering their education, employment and even intercommunity social engagements with the rest of the world.  We want to help them become a part of mainstream America and put an end to the repressive behaviorisms that does not allow them to move beyond their neighborhood's invisible gates.  We believe a lot of the problems they face are self induced and a lot of the problems they face are due to not knowing any other way, but also a lot of their problems they face is also due to discrimination be it racial, cultural and otherwise and is often due to a misunderstanding in many cases.

 

We believe our program can reduce crime and prevent recidivism, because we plan to attract the leaders of tomorrow in our community. We understand the posse (gang) mentality of our youth today.  We know that there a very few leaders and a host of followers.  And one of the main problems in poor communities in our country and in Highlands County, where you find a high rate of disenfranchised individuals, is that often the hand full of leaders that attract posses (gangs) do not know any other way, but to join into a life of crime to survive and often have bad habits to support. Project Creativity is billed as a program to show them another way.

 

Once Project Creativity is fully functional, we will act as a product production chain or assembly line of sorts.  By accepting young disadvantage adults into our program, with just an idea of how to express themselves artistically, we will be able to help them develop a plan using our workshops.  And the goal is for these plans to develop into complete sound recording productions, video productions, news articles in our non profit newspaper & magazines as well as live performance, so that their abilities are shared and a sense of achievement is felt by them.  Because achievements are so important in building up someone's self esteem.  And self worth is the beginning of self sustaining independence.  We want to restore hope in our community, which is something many of our potential clients never knew in these tough economic times.

 

If you think this project is worth your while and support, please continue to watch our website and the NCNCHINC wordpress.com blogs for continued updates on our progress and agenda. We will in the future need your support in money contributions, volunteer work and your advise, because we know we do not have all the answers.  So we humble ourselves to the Community of Highlands County.  And we know without the support of the community, this will not work, because we are introducing a community effort, which requires a coalition to come together for this common cause.  Because we must not leave anyone behind if we as a community is to grow.

I Do Not Think the Congress is Bulletproof

 

There are 535 members in the Congress, with 100 in the Senate and 435 in the House, but there are about 317 million Americans.  Yet these 535 have us all at their mercy. To them we are just numbers, so it seems and they really don't care about us. Now they are threatening to shutdown the U.S. Government, if President Obama does not repeal Obamacare.  The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act called Obamacare which I think is good for America.

 

Personally it does not really effect me directly, one way or the other. Because I am a Army Veteran and get my healthcare through the Veterans Healthcare System, but there are many Americans who simply couldn't afford healthcare and now they will.  While we are the riches nation in the world our Congress wants to refuse healthcare for all Americans.  I think it is bad enough that certain States are able to opt out of Obamacare, that is not fair in my opinion.  And what kills me is their opposition to Obamacare is its cost, yet they found it to be alright to spend $10 trillion on Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.  And now their only argument about Syria is President Obama's plan does not go far enough.  They want an all out war over in Syria, they want regime change. At a cost of?

 

We are in a tough economy and many Americans depend on the Federal Government, due to the huge jobless rates.  Over 101 million Americans depend on food stamps to feed their families.  Over 62 million people get some sort of subsidy from Social Security.  There are about 1.5 million people in the armed forces and this doesn't count all of their dependents.  Then there is our law enforcement groups, such as the FBI, DEA, Homeland Security, CIA and so forth.  Hell even the Secret Service operates under the Federal umbrella.  I feel for them as well for these people to make such a threat is an act of treason.

 

I guess, I must ask, can a Congressman commit an act of treason?  We know the price for treason is death by a firing squad or it use to be. Who knows maybe they now use lethal injections, being we are a humane society today.  This is not a joke and I am very serious about what I am saying.  To who does the Congress stand accountable?  And I am certain there are other ways of dealing with traders than simply voting them out.

 

Hell a young man who knew no better joins the Army and they destroy his life before it even starts for a simple act of disobedience.  Most certainly elected official stands to a higher standard than that a little kid trying to escape oppression by joining the military.   We even hear about Presidents being impeached, before their term of service is up, should not Congressmen be held accountable for their actions?  Hell we have RICO for the Mafia, I mean mobsters cannot conspire against the government.  Does that mean the Congress or the American people?  Who can they not conspire against?  So how can the Congress conspire against the American people and talk about shutdowns?

 

Is the Congress actually above the law?  Can they vote anyway they please about the livelihoods of over one hundred million of Americans? How can this be in a democracy?  Because from the look of things the Congress is not accountable for their actions, they can simply do as they please or choose to do nothing at all and all we can do is wait to the next elections?

 

All this mayhem going on in America.  People killing kids at schools, at the movies and now at Navy Yards, all to make a point.  "I am unhappy with America."  But it seems like the Congress are untouchables. Yet they are the culprits to all this chaos, but nobody seems to make them accountable for what they are doing to America as a whole.  But they are only 535 strong.  Their faces are all over the internet and their names are printed in large letters for everyone to see.  But because they are our lawmakers, they are honored, revered and overlooked by the disgruntled, who give up on their lives.

 

I say let them shutdown the government.  Force 101 million people to make a choice on hunger or fighting back. Force another 62 million into possible homelessness, stop the checks of the fighting men and women in uniform.  And stop law enforcement and all the other federal government agencies.  And what will you have?  "Anarchy."  And nobody will be safe, especially the Congress of the United States of America

 

And sooner or later someone who is tired of all this worrying about their fate into the next day, sooner or later someone who is tired of their poor living conditions that are not even stable or secured, as it is being taken from them from an uncaring Congress.  Someday someone will wise up and vent their anger in a direction where it will produce a change in the hearts of those who are causing us all this hell and worrying about daily living essentials.  And the target will not be a little kid going to school or a person  going to work just to make ends meet or to a movie for some relaxation, but at the people who careless about them and is causing all this mayhem and confusion.

 

"I Do Not Think the Congress is Bulletproof."

 

They just have respect they don't deserve.  Which is an illusion among Americans that can wear off.  The Congress is not above the law and they have a responsibility to the American people. And to not carryout their responsibility out, is in fact an act of treason.  And a treasonous should be dealt with accordingly.

America is Committing Crimes Against it own People Also

 

President Obama decided to ask the Congress for authorization to attack Syria, a change from his stance to go it alone without U.S. Congressional or United Nations approval.  Though every president since 1973 claimed the wars powers act of 1973 is unconstitutional, in this case President Obama decided to seek congressional approval and one must wonder why.  He didn't in Libya!

 

Since President Obama publicly considered attacking Syria, it seems that all the News talked about is America's problems such as, President Obama saving face, his creditability in world affairs, as if it is our war and we have been attacked.  However, we must remember this is a civil war in Syria and over 100,000 people already died and hundreds of thousands have been badly injured due to this war.  There will be no winners, even when this war ends and rebuilding process of this nation and the region will cost a lot of money and time.  It is not all about America, in Syria!

 

Now my concern is if the Congress approves an act of war against Syria, will there be an exit plan that can and will be carried out.  This war is a Syrian civil war, however, nations are already taking sides and America's involvement could even escalate their involvement and the war could become even wider in scope than it is already.  If we get sucked into a regional conflict, how will we get out of it?  Or even worst, will we be able to get out of it?

 

I do not think the American people or our military can withstand another Iraq or Afghanistan.  We cannot handle another drawn out war.  The wars we recently fought is costing us dearly.  Because we spent perhaps ten trillion dollars on Iraq and Afghan, we were not caretakers of our own people here at home.  This is the costs we are paying at home.

 

Over 8,000 veterans commit suicide per year, which is about 22 veterans committing suicide per day. At one time based on a statistic for every combatant killed in war 25 veterans were killing themselves.  So one must ask why?  Most of the kids joining the military today are Americas choice crop.  They joined the military for a future in the America dream, educational benefits that they will probably never be able to use due to mental problems, they join to get out of the streets and to avoid a life of crime in this terrible economy and yes some may have had Hollywood fantasies of fighting a war, only to learn that killing and be sought after to be killed is not actually fun.

 

While the average is 33 fatalities a day are the result of gun violence and gun violence is the number two killer of people age 18 to 34, behind automobile accidents, what is the number one killer of veterans for age 18 to 34?  And how does these new suicide rates effect the statistics overall?  Because the suicide rate has to be in the top three.  Because between gun violence and suicide we are losing over 20,000 of our youth each year.

 

Then we have to look into the incarceration rates of our youth and the dropout rates of our youth, which has a direct correlation to committing crimes.  We have to recognized  that America has a major problem.  We have to look at the jobless rate of Americans as a whole.  Only 6 of 10 Americans have a job and many of them are part time jobs.  Over 32% of Americans are without an income or is on some type of disability, while about 8% get unemployment insurance. 101 million Americans get food stamps assistance or about 1/3 of the United States population.  1 out of 3 Americans cannot afford to feed themselves without assistance from the federal government.

 

These wars are not only costing us money that we need to spend on our economy, but it is destroying our labor force.  The men an women in uniform are being misappropriated by the United States Government.  But we talk about crimes against humanity in  Syria, how about the crimes against our own people here in America?  We are destroying the lives of our youth through wars, failing schools, no jobs for civilians, the industrial prison complex, this fake war on drugs that destroyed the lives of millions and the inaction of the legislative branch of government to do anything, while President Obama beats the war drums .  Like they say, when you point your figure at someone, three are pointing back at you.  America is at war with Americans and these foreign wars are characteristic of this.
