West and Dyson
This lens was inspired by a radio conversation between Michael Eric Dyson and Cornell West. Both are highly respected African American scholars. Dr. West is a Professor at Princeton University where he teaches African American Studies. He is also an advocate for racial justice, and a bestselling author. Reverend Michael Eric Dyson is an author, radio host, minister, and professor of sociology at Georgetown University.
Dr. Dyson is interviewing Dr. West about President Obama's perceived lack of assisting the poor, how he was shunned by the president, and various other polite criticism. This article does not attempt to defend the President nor does the author side with West or Dyson. This Lens is simply a commentary that elaborates on the adage of "barking up the wrong tree." It's about how liberal and conservative pundits are attempting to cut off the tail, rather than go for the head.
What Dyson and West are doing is preaching to the choir. Their constituency is all too aware of the issues that plague myriad communities and inner cities throughout America. Therefore, instead of telling us what's on the menu, we need the meat and potatoes.
The brilliance of Mr. Dyson and Mr. West cannot be denied . Both are on the right track and certainly doing their part to make a positive difference. The two are champions of the cause but this author would like to see a tad bit more visibility and a lot more dialogue like the videos below; starting with a debate between Michael Eric Dyson and Erick Erickson (conservative blogger and managing editor of the blog site RedState.com). Erickson craftily tries to dodge the underlying issue that created oppression, institutional racism, and its benefactors.

"Barking Up the Wrong Tree"
Like all presidents preceding him, Obama can only do so much because he is controlled by the Illuminati. I'm left to wonder why erudite individuals like Cornel West and Mike Dyson don't see this or understand the power of the "Invisible Hand." Mike Dyson is an author, professor, but also a preacher. Cornell West has strong Baptist roots, therefore both perspectives are religious-based first, then the intellect kicks in, and it doesn't matter which they put first. What's unfortunate about these two major voices in the Black community is that they fail to acknowledge the fact that religion has always been a major tool of the Illuminati.The Illuminati cares nothing about race, gender, or poor people, they only care about controlling people - like cattle. They are the Bilderbergers (European 'elite' who meet in secret to manufacture and manage world events), the Rockefellers, Morgans, Rothschilds, the Bush family, and a few others.
Couple the Illuminati with the very deep and protracted brainwashing that is religion, which divides people like no other institution in the history of mankind, and you have what we see today, billions of people being manipulated by a few.
West and Dyson were speaking on how Obama is not focused enough on poor people. West further stated that "I support poor people, I go to bat for poor people," that's all well and good and admirable. But how long have democratic politicians, liberal pundits, and myriad other analyst cried out for America's poor? None more fervently and eloquently than Dr. Martin Luther King.
At any moment Dr. King's life could have been taken, but it wasn't until he began to speak out on the Vietnam War that he was assassinated. His stance against the war raised the brow of the Illuminati and is what really cost him his life, not his fight for minorities and the poor. His civil rights stance didn't help of course, but that is not what caused his murder. Additionally, the King family acknowledged, before the accused killer of Dr. King died, that they believed James Earl Ray did not kill their father. His murder was a conspiracy and the real killers went unpunished just as the assassins of President Kennedy avoided justice. Many other civil rights leaders were assassinated as well, but all were killed by right-wing racist fanatics like a Byron De La Beckwith (Medgar Evers killer) or a Bobby Frank Cherry (the murderer of the "4 Little Girls" in the 16th Baptist Church bombing of 1963), not the United States government.
I would like to see Dr. Dyson and Dr. West speak out against the real perpetrators of "Rich vs. Poor."
Look at America's history of manufactured wars. Iraq being a prime example of a manufactured war. Very few people are willing to address the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. Many people are still appalled when they hear this, but all you have to do is check the facts and you will clearly see that both towers (including Bldg # 7) were imploded.
Does West or Dyson have the courage to attack the Illuminati or scream for justice regarding 9/1? Surely both are aware of the strong possibility that their reputations could be destroyed in a very short period of time.
Their popularity on the lecture circuit would also be severely compromised. Both men are keenly aware of what would happen if they chose Dr. King's non-violent, in-your-face, method of making valid points.
This author implores both men to go after the head, not the tail. The tail always grows back, often stronger than it was before.
The irony of their sincere attempts to make a difference is the fact that Cornel West and Michael Dyson are both very religious men. Some might say this is a good thing. However their strong faith makes it virtually impossible for them to be objective regarding Religion. The Catholic Church and various other Christian based institutions have been a corrupt force for the past 2000 years and no one has the courage to challenge them. What's so mind boggling about it is the fact that the brainwashing is so entrenched, so ingrained in our society that we will never see the tides turn in our lifetime. The subject of religion is broached because religion, politics, and mind control are past, present, and consistent bedfellows. Society has to make a u-turn on the road its on and forge its way back to the universal truth that clearly states, either you will learn to live together or you will certainly perish together. With all the chicanery that goes on this world, we have undoubtedly chosen the latter.
The President of the United States is considered the most powerful man in the world but that is not the case. On paper he may be considered the most powerful but we all know this is not true. It was however, true, when G. W. Bush held the position for 8 years. It was true for him because his late grandfather, Prescott Bush, George Sr., G.W., and Jeb have ties to the Illuminati. You don't think so? What other president could cheat his way into the White House and get away with it? What other president could declare war against the wishes of the United Nations and get away with it? Let Obama declare war against the U.N. and see how fast he's impeached.
There is one exception, if the "Invisible Hand" needs a war for profit, then Obama would be instructed do so. George W. Bush committed myriad crimes while serving as the US President but no one said one word. There was little chatter coming from West and Dyson, but who listened? Who was your audience?
President Kennedy challenged the Illuminati and was assassinated, and the entire world saw it. Just like the world saw Kennedy's accused assassin, Oswald, murdered before he could profess his innocence.
President Kennedy's Speech about the Illuminati
"We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means, for expanding its sphere of influence .. on intimidation instead of free choice. It is a system which has constructed vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine, that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. It's preparations are concealed, not published, it's mistakes are buried, not headlined, its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."
Check out the video of JFK's speech along with "Mindless Menance of Violence" by Robert Kennedy. The strong inclination that John and Robert Kennedy had to do RIGHT and to attack the head, is what led to their assassinations (see the Videos below).
Mayer Rothschild, the patriarch of the Rothschild family said in the early 1700's, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws." And to this day, that statement is still a resounding FACT!

The 9/11 Conspiracy
The Scamming of America
"Scholars argue that the events of September 11, 2001, could not have happened as the U.S. government claims, and that the Twin Towers could not have been brought down merely by the impact of aircraft and attendant fires."
Attendant Fires ... Not all explosive events are accompanied by an immediately ensuing fire development. The rapid expansion of gases at hypersonic speeds and the instantaneous consumption of oxygen as part of the explosive event chemistry often deny fire development.

Kingmaker
One who has the political power to influence the selection of a candidate for high public office.
Kingmakers is the story of how the modern Middle East came to be, told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it. Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell); others infamous (Harry St. John Philby, father of Kim); some forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel's godfather, and A. T. Wilson, the territorial creator of Iraq); some controversial (the CIA's Miles Copeland and the Pentagon's Paul Wolfowitz). All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. As a bonus, we meet the British Empire's power couple, Lord and Lady Lugard (Flora Shaw): she named Nigeria, he ruled it; she used the power of the Times of London to attempt a regime change in the gold-rich Transvaal. The narrative is character-driven, and the aim is to restore to life the colorful figures who for good or ill gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today. ~ Wikipedia
