Much you have said in this post is on point and I thank you, my friend. For the record: While co-hosting the weekly "The Shannon Report" on KYOK AM (1990's) I had the occasion to do an on-air interview and correspond with Robert Jones. Sir. Robert D. Jones, Jr. is a leader in the self-help field of dyslexia l (Lnks attached). Sir Robert D. Jones, Jr http://www.ibeatdyslexia.com/ What you think is dyslexia is more a-kin to "Colorblindness". Like Brother Jones I "suffered" from an incurable condition in my 8 years of formal Public Education, that of being "Bored to Fucking Death"! I began the process to correct this condition by "QUITTING" ... "ESCAPING" ..."DROPPING-OUT" on the occasion of the next school day of my sixteenth "Birthingday " (see: www.storkreality.com for details). "Public Education" is Mass Brain Washing and Conditioning"! Most so-called "Education" causes one so "exposed", "victimized" and "trained" to see and think in ways that support the status quo; not "reality", "truth" or "the facts". The primary tool of this conditioning process, I submit is "Words" or "Language"! WHAT DO YOU USE TO THINK-WITH! W O R D S!!!! Bottom line: I think outside the box because my understanding of words came NOT from being told what they meant, but by understanding HOW WORDS WERE/ARE USED! I NEVER LEARNED MY X-TABLES, AND I REJECTED LEARNING THE RULES FOR SPELLING/PUNCTUATION. This has made me to a greater degree than most "Culturally Color Blind". The military use color blind people to defeat camouflaged which works best if you "Enjoy Color Vision". As for my work in print, I can say that my thoughts have found there way into newsprint many times. I also researched, authored and published the only study done in Houston Texas on "MASS TRANSIT" in 1976. When I'm lucky I have a secretary or friends to proof my work, while retaining control of meaning and phraseology. As some may know, I am on the Mission of "really quitting america" (see www.myspace.com/reallquittingamerica) and I've been having to work with limited resources since I left for Washington D.C. in August 07. All to often we forget the primary purpose of words and language in the first place, is to UNDERSTAND AND BE UNDERSTOOD! In spite of what some may think are limitations, short-comings and the lack of formal education, one had best sharpen their teeth before thinking I'm easy pray! ...made in america Kevin White <cuitlacoche1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi Robert, I have a lot of respect for you and your work. Hopefully, after a successful audit of WBAI we will finally get you back on the air. I am a friend of Emmett Abati Doe, and I want to take a moment to point out that print media is not Abati's best forte. I personally believe he's dyslexic; and so is doing a very good job overcoming a serious block in his written communication skills. Face to face, Abati is quite intelligent and has that rare ability too smell out bullshit. What I love about him most is he questions everything that's put in front of him. Abati can come to some startling and hard to grasp conclusions (for most liberals), but over the years I realize that he's thinking outside the box in a way that most of us should. He is much more engaging in person than he is on these listservs. He made a mistake. I do it all the time myself. But Abati questions axioms in such a way that ideologues can't stand him. And what ideologues can't stand usually means he's doing the right kind of thing.

My statement read: ...For the record I think Obama is just another African/Caribbean/South american Oreo Cooke, but I'm not sure which flavor... What gives you the right Mr. "In Exile" to omit words and imply meaning not written on your screen? Just poor sloppy writing or did you get lost in an emotional peak?

Clealy, Mr. Emmet Doe (made in America) is having a bit of sport with us. His uncritical propogation of this "news" item is obviously an act of autosatirization. No serious student of America's racial history could have missed the article's" dead-giveaway byline: "James R. Crowe." This is a cryptonym for "Jim Crow," an eponymous reference to the "black codes" and other racially discriminatory legislation in the United States. While we're at it, please allow me to be the very first to report the latest bigotry-smear being propogated by the racist campaign of Bill and Hillary "Lurleen" Clinton. The Clintons have surreptitiously launched an ugly whispering campaign -- claiming that "Barak Obama is having sex with a black woman." -Robert Knight On 2/17/08, Melinda Iley-Dohn <Iley_dohn@yahoo. com> wrote: Abati a simple Google search will show this...... http://www.snopes. com/politics/ obama/kkk. asp http://my.barackoba ma.com/page/ community/ post/marenda/ gGgVR4 This is either Satire or but the first of what will be many shots taken at Mr. Obama by idiots intent on not electing him due to his heritage. If the KKK tried to give him money he would reject it. I saw the "photo". A kid with Photoshop could do that. The hands have a different resolution than the rest of the photo. It was put in there by Photoshop. What you have here is an attempt by idiots to manipulate an election. I wonder if some GOP type isn't trying another attempt now that the "Muslim" rumor didn't work? THEY want Hillary to run because they KNOW that she is easier to beat. They know that they have limited time in office. There are going to be some really desparate efforts because there are people who don't want either a woman or a black man to be elected. They want the same crap that isn't working.

Crowe KENTUCKY - USA - Imperial Wizard, Ronald Edwards has stated that, "anything is better than Hillary Clinton." White Christian Supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States of America. Speaking from his Kentucky office in Dawson Springs, the Imperial Wizard exclaimed that anything or anyone is better than having that "crazy ass bitch" as President. This is the first time in Klan history that any member of the KKK has ever publicly supported an African American candidate for the presidency. KKK lodges all over America have been gathering and holding rallies supporting the black presidential candidate. KKK members in Tennessee rally against Hillary Clinton and support Barack Obama Grand Turk Cletus Monroe has also been very vocal about the election and has donated thousands of dollars to Obama's election fund. "The boy's gonna do it. My Klan group has donated up to $250,000 to the Obama fund. Anything is better than Hillary Clinton. Hell I'll even adopt a black kid from Africa before I vote for Hillary." "A few years back we were lynching negroes. Now we're gonna vote for one to be president of the US of motherfu**ing A, damn it! Anyone or anything is better than Hillary Clinton - anything!!" Placards for Barack Obama have been put up around the Klan's Headquarters and the KKK have announced a television ad campaign to support the African American candidate. "Put Some Kegler's On It! ?
