While walking down what many would call a “country road” one sunny April afternoon, I happened upon a tree donned with some of the most magnificent blossoms I’ve ever seen. As I walked toward the tree, captivated by its beauty, I noticed it was slowly, almost poetically, raining down a blanket of petals on the earth beneath its well-dressed branches. Shades of white, pink and lavender covered the ground.
So enamored was I with this sight that, for a brief moment, I was tempted to stretch out my body over this little piece of Paradise and let its sweet aroma caress me, enchant me, intoxicate me; and I may well have done so, had I not feared that the poor unknowing owner of the “property” on which this Oasis rested would mistake my attempt to “touch Heaven” for an attempt to give him trouble.
So, I restrained myself and limited my compulsion to simply picking a petal from one of the branches just within my reach. Even so, I couldn’t help but feel I was “stealing” something, like some beggar making away with a morsel of bread to satisfy his hunger; except, it wasn’t bread I was after. It was a piece of Heaven…a piece of God, Himself; and I simply had to have it. I needed it.
As I continued on my way, I looked back to catch one more glimpse of the beauty of that scene, holding the petal I had picked in my hand…and then I walked on toward my destination.
Every two or three steps, I couldn’t resist the urge to hold the petal to my nose – as I walked – and inhale the sweetness of God’s Creation. It was so powerful – yet gentle – a scent that it literally had me walking with my eyes closed! I didn’t want to stop walking, and I didn’t want to be distracted from the sweetness of the experience…so I walked, and inhaled, and closed my eyes, and imagined I was in Paradise.
I thought to myself:
“The Beauty and the Humility of a Flower: She just IS! She does not jump and shout to get you to notice her. She doesn’t have to. The way she “IS” gets your attention without even trying. Her being what God Created her to be makes her irresistibly attractive…to birds, to bees, to Men…to me.
“She doesn’t have to ‘try’ to be beautiful, she just is. Her sweet aroma cannot be duplicated, or mimicked, or mass-produced for profit. She is ‘The Truth’, and any attempt to mimic her would be ‘false’."
She is the Gift of God, not the product of man. She is beautiful. She is subtle, yet powerful. She is a temporary reminder of the Eternal Grace of God, the matchless Beneficence of God, the indescribable Beauty and Love of God; and I am grateful and humbled to have met her…to have ben touched – and my life enhanced – by her.
Even now, I hold the petal in one hand, and write with the other, occasionally raising it to my nose to breath in its Essence, to be reminded that there IS beauty left in this world; that there ARE things worthy of our hope and admiration; that all is NOT lost…because she lives.
Life is Good, and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

"War Made Easy" - The Reasons Behind "Wars and Rumors of Wars"
What is "Disinformation"?
Disinformation is false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is synonymous with and sometimes called Black propaganda. It may include the distribution of forged documents, manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading malicious rumors and fabricated intelligence. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.
In espionage or military intelligence, disinformation is the deliberate spreading of false information to mislead an enemy as to one's position or course of action. In politics, disinformation is the deliberate attempt to deflect voter support of an opponent, disseminating false statements of innuendo based on the candidates vulnerabilities as revealed by opposition research. In both cases, it also includes the distortion of true information in such a way as to render it useless.
Disinformation techniques may also be found in commerce and government, used to try to undermine the position of a competitor. It is an act of deception and blatant false statements to convince someone of an untruth. Cooking-the-books might be considered a disinformation strategy that led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Unlike traditional propaganda and Big Lie techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions.
Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can effect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with a lot of easily-disproved false claims.
A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole (a limited hangout).
The Cold War made disinformation a recognized military and political tactic. Military disinformation techniques were described by Vladimir Volkoff.
Disinformation by the CIA (United States Government)
In 1957 the CIA knew about the Mayak accident but the information was not released publicly because of the " (...) reluctance of the CIA to highlight a nuclear accident in the USSR, that could cause concern among people living near nuclear facilities in the USA. (...) ".[1]
In 1986, national security adviser John Poindexter wrote for President Ronald Reagan a "disinformation program" aimed at destabilizing Libya's Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi by planting reports in the foreign press about an impending conflict between the two countries. However, the false information eventually reached The Wall Street Journal—a phenomenon known in the trade as blowback.[2]

Whose Report Will You Believe...Farrakhan's? Or O'Reilly's?
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.
Salaam (Peace) to all.
Today, I happened upon a video of Bill O'Reilly's scripted, televised reaction to the Hon. Louis Farrakhan's Timely Saviours' Day Message, "The Time and What Must Be Done".
True to historical form, much like his contemporaries, Mr. O'Reilly made a feeble, but wicked attempt to mischaracterize the True Nature, Spirit and VALUE of the Minister's Message to the world, seeking to reduce "Divine Guidance" to the level of "racism and anti-semitism".
As is normally the case, Mr. O'Reilly, pulled excerpts from the Minister's lecture that lasted only seconds; while the Minister's Message lasted approximately three hours...and the comments used by Mr. O'Reilly came near the END of the Minister's Message.
Why didn't Mr. O'Reilly comment on what Minister Farrakhan said BEFORE he spoke on the circumstances surrounding President Obama, which would have provided a much needed Context?
On Feb. 28, 2010, Minister Farrakhan said (as cited by O'Reilly):
"They're trying to make him, right now, a One-term President...The white Right is trying to set Barack up to be assassinated."
"There are Christians praying for God to kill Barack Obama."
"He wants to write a new page with the Muslim world, but the Zionists won't let him."
Now, the question is...Is Minister Farrakhan "teaching hate"? Or, is he TELLING THE TRUTH?
Consider the Following:
Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001, to Shimon Peres, as reported on Kol Yisrael radio:
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."

Among the evil suggestions cast by Mr. O'Reilly is the notion that the "hatred" directed at Barack Obama is "no different" from the hatred directed at his white predecessors.
Please review the links above, if you need to. Which one of President Obama's predecessors EVER experienced or witnessed reactions to their elections like that seen to occur after President Obama's election?
O'Reilly wants us to believe that Farrakhan is "stirring up racial hatred". Did FARRAKHAN inspire white militias and white citizens to buy out all the Gun Stores across the nation? Did Farrakhan incite white supremacists to spike racial attacks against black people in the wake of Obama's election?
Bill O'Reilly wants us to believe that ANYBODY who speaks out against America's evils is, himself, "evil". But what if that somebody who is speaking against America is telling the TRUTH?
What do we lose by listening to the Truth?
What do we lose by REJECTING the Truth?

Uncle Sam Wants YOU... To Help With the Census!!
Salaam (Peace) to all!
In these times of financial difficulty, many are struggling to find ways to make ends meet. As a result, many jobs that may have once been passed off as "not for me", are becoming more and more attractive.
Recently, an email was forwarded to me...one of those emails that are usually forwarded to a mass of recipients at once...notifying the reader that the Census Bureau is hiring people to help with the 2010 Census, promising a decent wage. So, I need some extra money...right...(who doesn't?), and I decide to go and look up the Census Bureau online to get details about the jobs they offer.
Everything seemed fairly reasonable...at first. Then I happened on this line of text:
"If you are a male applicant born after 12/31/59, you must confirm that you are registered with the Selective Service System. For more information, please visit Selective Service System's Web site at: http://www.sss.gov."
Huh? The Selective Service? Ok, so I go to the Selective Service website, and I look around, and happen upon this little tidbit:
The mission of the Selective Service System is:
-to provide manpower to the armed forces in an emergency; and
-to run an Alternative Service Program for men classified as conscientious objectors during a draft.
Selective Service would provide manpower to the military by conducting a draft using a list of young men's names gathered through the Selective Service registration process. Virtually all men - ages 18 through 25 - must register. Only if there is high compliance with this law, will a future draft be fair and equitable. The obligation of a man to register is imposed by the Military Selective Service Act, which establishes and governs the operations of the Selective Service System.
So, in order to work for the Census Bureau, I have to register for the DRAFT? Ummm...Excuse Me...WHAT DRAFT??
Well...Here's a "near answer" to that question:
What Happens in a Draft?
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Here is a brief overview of what would occur if the United States returned to a draft:
1. CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT AUTHORIZE A DRAFT
A crisis occurs which requires more troops than the volunteer military can supply. Congress passes and the President signs legislation which starts a draft.
2. THE LOTTERY
A lottery based on birthdays determines the order in which registered men are called up by Selective Service. The first to be called, in a sequence determined by the lottery, will be men whose 20th birthday falls during that year, followed, if needed, by those aged 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 18-year-olds and those turning 19 would probably not be drafted.
3. ALL PARTS OF SELECTIVE SERVICE ARE ACTIVATED
The Agency activates and orders its State Directors and Reserve Forces Officers to report for duty. See also Agency Structure.
4. PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND MORAL EVALUATION OF REGISTRANTS
Registrants with low lottery numbers are ordered to report for a physical, mental, and moral evaluation at a Military Entrance Processing Station to determine whether they are fit for military service. Once he is notified of the results of the evaluation, a registrant will be given 10 days to file a claim for exemption, postponement, or deferment. See also Classifications.
5. LOCAL AND APPEAL BOARDS ACTIVATED AND INDUCTION NOTICES SENT
Local and Appeal Boards will process registrant claims. Those who pass the military evaluation will receive induction orders. An inductee will have 10 days to report to a local Military Entrance Processing Station for induction.
6. FIRST DRAFTEES ARE INDUCTED
According to current plans, Selective Service must deliver the first inductees to the military within 193 days from the onset of a crisis.

I'll let you discover them for yourselves...
Now...SUPPOSE...just...SUPPOSE...the U.S. Government were planning another war...yeah..."planning" another war, against another "Muslim nation", based on shoddy evidence of a "threat to national security"? America is already short on manpower to support its current war efforts around the globe. How could they possibly "staff" another war?
Might they consider bringing back...the DRAFT?
If they call you...or your sons...what will your response be? Will you answer the call of proven liars and war criminals? Or, will you answer the Call of God? Or, do you think answering the call of "Uncle Sam" is equal to answering the Call of God?
As for the followers of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, we have been given the proper response to "Uncle Sam's" call:
10. WE BELIEVE that we who declare ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for.

ADL Revisits Vintage "Anti-Farrakhanism"
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.
Salaam (Peace) to all!
And So It Begins...Again...
One day after the pivotal and historic Message delivered by the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has reverted to it's old tactics of "misrepresentation" and "deception", regarding the True Nature and Spirit of the Minister's Message to the World.
In a "Press Release" posted on their website, the ADL claims that Minister Farrakhan's Message was laden with "racism...as ugly as it ever was".
Abraham Foxman (the national director), true to historical form, attempted to reduce the Beauty and Profoundness of Minister Farrakhan's Message to the status of "anti-semitism" and "racism conspiracy theories" about "Jews and money".
However, it is interesting that, while the ADL cited only a few of the statements made in the Minister's three-and-a-half hour Message, and hastily labeled them as "conspiracy theories", they never DENIED any of the claims the Minister made!! They never said, in the Press Release, "That is not true!" They only said it's "anti-Semitism"; it's a "racist conspiracy theory".
What if that which Minister Farrakhan said is TRUE??? Then what?
...Is the TRUTH "anti-Semitic"?
Nor did they ever explain, exactly, WHY the statements made by Minister Farrakhan are considered by them as "anti-semitic". Why not?
IS the Honorable Louis Farrakhan "anti-Semitic"? Is it even POSSIBLE for a Black Man, who is a Muslim, to be anti-Semitic without being "anti-SELF"?
Let's see...
"ANTI-"
[L. anti- from Gk. anti "against, opposite, instead of," from PIE *anti]
a prefix meaning “against,” “opposite of,” “antiparticle of,” used in the formation of compound words (anticline); used freely in combination with elements of any origin (antibody; antifreeze; antiknock; antilepton).
"SEMITE"
[1847, "Jew, Arab, Assyrian, Aramæan," from Mod.L. Semita, from L.L. Sem "Shem," one of the three sons of Noah (Gen. x:21-30), regarded as the ancestor of the Semites (in the days when anthropology was still bound by the Bible), from Heb. Shem. Semitic (1813 of languages, 1826 of persons) is probably from Ger. semitisch (first used by Ger. historian August Schlözer, 1781), denoting the language group that includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Assyrian, etc. In recent use often with the specific sense "Jewish," but not historically so limited.]
1.A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.
2.A Jew.
3.Bible A descendant of Shem.
Therefore, one who is an "anti-SEMITE" is one who is "against" (anti), or "opposed to", Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews and Phoenicians. Notice whom it does NOT include...the "European"! (That is significant!)
If a person from among the "Arabs" or "Ethiopians" criticizes the ACTIONS of some members of the "Arameans" as being "unjust", should that person be labeled "anti-Semitic", or "anti-injustice"?
If a person NOT of any of these groups criticized the ACTIONS of members of one of these groups as being "unjust", should THAT person be labeled "anti-Semitic", or "anti-injustice"?
If a person visibly embraces the vast majority of the groups mentioned above as "Semitic" people, yet criticizes the actions of one group as being "unjust", can that person rightly be called "anti-Semitic"? Not at all!!
Right now, as you are reading these words, there are Orthodox Jews who are AGAINST "Zionism":

Are these Orthodox Jews who are opposed to "Zionism" regarded as "anti-Semitic"? Why is it that we never hear the ADL crying out against these "Anti-Semitic Jews"???
In order for someone to be rightly and justly labeled an "anti-Semite", that person would have to demonstrate a clear intention that is against the human needs and rights of the whole population of Semitic peoples, in general.
Does that description, in ANY WAY, fit the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan? Anyone who has ever LISTENED to the Man, WALKED with the Man, TALKED with the Man...would have to admit that such a categorization of Minister Farrakhan is as far away from the Truth as Pluto is from the Sun!
Do these Jews (link below) consider Minister Farrakhan an "Anti-Semite"?

Is Minister Farrakhan "against" the Human Rights and the legitimate aspirations of the Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians? Has he EVER committed or advocated the disrespect or the doing of harm to ANY of these people? Emphatically NO!
I have been attempting to follow the Hon. Louis Farrakhan for near 20 years, now; and I have NEVER...NOT ONCE...heard or seen him do...or SAY....ANYTHING that is against the "Semitic People". On the Contrary, he has constantly demonstrated his willingness to embrace ALL of HUMANITY (which, by the way, includes the "Semitic" peoples) on the Basis of Truth, Freedom, Justice and Equality.
Why, then, is the ADL so adamant about painting Him as an "anti-Semite"? It is because they do not wish for YOU or ME to use our own INTELLIGENCE to decide for OURSELVES what manner of man the Honorable Louis Farrakhan is! And why is THAT???
It is because they do not want You and Me to know the Truth - that GOD has Visited America...and Chosen the Black Man and Woman of America to be the People through which He will establish His Kingdom on Earth!!
What does that mean for those who have been presenting themselves to the world as "the Chosen"? How will they feel about such an event? How would they respond to such an event? And how would they respond to the Man who ANNOUNCES such an event? Naturally, they would not wish to have the TRUTH of themselves exposed...that they are NOT the Chosen of God in THIS day. That fact alone is enough to upset those "who call themselves Jews, and are not" (-Bible), to the point of "near-hysteria"!
For nearly 30 years ABRAHAM FOXMAN and the ADL have been masquerading as the vanguards of Justice against bigotry and anti-Semitism, all the while demonstrating a vile hatred for ANYONE who dares stand up, or speak out, against their misdeeds and mischaracterizations.
Who will hold THEM accountable? Who will call THEM on the carpet? God Almighty will.
Minister Louis Farrakhan has NEVER been an "anti-Semite". It is people like Abraham Foxman who are the real "anti-Semites", who want to convince you and me that Minister Farrakhan is an anti-Semite; in the same manner as the wicked Jews of the Bible who tried to paint JESUS - a Righteous Man - as a "devil".
Truth be told, many of those who would paint Minister Farrakhan as an anti-Semite are the most rabid, virulent, and hateful anti-Semites walking the Earth; using the Name of God, Jehovah, to "justify" the unlawful displacement, murder and oppression of MILLIONS of "Semitic" People in the Middle East.
Remember, the definition for "Semite" did not include "Europeans".

Salaam (Peace) to all!
And So It Begins...Again...
One day after the pivotal and historic Message delivered by the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has reverted to it's old tactics of "misrepresentation" and "deception", regarding the True Nature and Spirit of the Minister's Message to the World.
In a "Press Release" posted on their website, the ADL claims that Minister Farrakhan's Message was laden with "racism...as ugly as it ever was".
Abraham Foxman (the national director), true to historical form, attempted to reduce the Beauty and Profoundness of Minister Farrakhan's Message to the status of "anti-semitism" and "racism conspiracy theories" about "Jews and money".
However, it is interesting that, while the ADL cited only a few of the statements made in the Minister's three-and-a-half hour Message, and hastily labeled them as "conspiracy theories", they never DENIED any of the claims the Minister made!! They never said, in the Press Release, "That is not true!" They only said it's "anti-Semitism"; it's a "racist conspiracy theory".
What if that which Minister Farrakhan said is TRUE??? Then what?
...Is the TRUTH "anti-Semitic"?
Nor did they ever explain, exactly, WHY the statements made by Minister Farrakhan are considered by them as "anti-semitic". Why not?
IS the Honorable Louis Farrakhan "anti-Semitic"? Is it even POSSIBLE for a Black Man, who is a Muslim, to be anti-Semitic without being "anti-SELF"?
Let's see...
"ANTI-"
[L. anti- from Gk. anti "against, opposite, instead of," from PIE *anti]
a prefix meaning “against,” “opposite of,” “antiparticle of,” used in the formation of compound words (anticline); used freely in combination with elements of any origin (antibody; antifreeze; antiknock; antilepton).
"SEMITE"
[1847, "Jew, Arab, Assyrian, Aramæan," from Mod.L. Semita, from L.L. Sem "Shem," one of the three sons of Noah (Gen. x:21-30), regarded as the ancestor of the Semites (in the days when anthropology was still bound by the Bible), from Heb. Shem. Semitic (1813 of languages, 1826 of persons) is probably from Ger. semitisch (first used by Ger. historian August Schlözer, 1781), denoting the language group that includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Assyrian, etc. In recent use often with the specific sense "Jewish," but not historically so limited.]
1.A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.
2.A Jew.
3.Bible A descendant of Shem.
Therefore, one who is an "anti-SEMITE" is one who is "against" (anti), or "opposed to", Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews and Phoenicians. Notice whom it does NOT include...the "European"! (That is significant!)
If a person from among the "Arabs" or "Ethiopians" criticizes the ACTIONS of some members of the "Arameans" as being "unjust", should that person be labeled "anti-Semitic", or "anti-injustice"?
If a person NOT of any of these groups criticized the ACTIONS of members of one of these groups as being "unjust", should THAT person be labeled "anti-Semitic", or "anti-injustice"?
If a person visibly embraces the vast majority of the groups mentioned above as "Semitic" people, yet criticizes the actions of one group as being "unjust", can that person rightly be called "anti-Semitic"? Not at all!!
