I WAS ABSOLUTELY APALLED WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO LAST NIGHT. ITS DISTURBING TO SEE HOW FAR PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO GO FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY. MONEY IS THE ROOT TO ALL EVIL SO FOR YOUR OWN BROTHER OR UNCLE TO SELL THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBER FOR SEX IN EXCHANGE FOR CURRENCY IS TRULY SAD. I HAVE LEFT THE LINK TO THE VIDEO AT THE END OF THIS BLOG FOR YOU TO COPY AND PASTE INTO YOUR BROWSER IF YOU WANT TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. THE GIRL WAS NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN YEARS OLD AND WAS SOLD FOR FOUR HUNDRED US DOLLARS. WHATS CRAZY ABOUT THIS SITUATION IS THE FACT THAT SHE WAS SO COMFORTABLE WITH THE ARRANGEMENT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON. AFTER THE STING OPERATION, SHE SEEMED A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE WASNT GOING TO BE HAVING SEX. I SENSED A DISCONNECTION IN HER EMOTIONS AS HER BROTHER WAS ARRESTED FOR SANCTIONING THE OPERATION THAT SHE WAS CLEARLY A POND OF. AS A BLACK MAN, I AM DISGUSTED AND OUTRAGED! THIS IS PART OF THE REASON WHY BLACK WOMEN HAVE LOST TOTAL RESPECT AND FAITH IN US. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BLACK WOMEN AND MEN HAVE SERIOUSLY DETERIORATED OVER THE YEARS AND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I'M PRETTY SURE THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER COUNTRIES DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. HOW CAN YOUR OWN BROTHER SELL YOU FOR MONEY? ITS ABSURD TO EVEN THINK OF THIS! PEOPLE DO SOME CRAZY THINGS IN THIS WORLD WE'RE LIVING IN SO NOTHING SUPRIZES ME ANYMORE. THEN WE WONDER WHY OUR BLACK WOMEN RESENT US. BECAUSE WE DON'T ACT LIKE THE KINGS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BUT WANT TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. WHATEVER HAPPENS TO HER BROTHER/UNCLE IS WELL DESERVED AND HE'LL BE SUSPENDED IN TIME FOR HIS ACTIONS SINCE HE CHOSE MONEY OVER LOYALTY TOWARDS HIS OWN FAMILY. PEOPLE INDULGE IN ALL KINDS OF NEGATIVE THINGS THEN CRY FOR JESUS CHRIST WHEN IT HITS THE FAN. IF HE WANTED MONEY THAT BAD, WHY DONT HE GO SELL HIS OWN ASS TO THE STREETS? I'M JUST SAYING :/

50 QUAKES IN 5 DAYS!
The reason I posted the earlier blog was to give you an overview of what really transpired in Haiti two weeks ago. There were fifty consecutive quakes that affected the Haiti region dating back from January 12, 2010 til January 17th. So in the span of five days, this country was devastated by not one quake but a series of quakes that totally obliterated the nation. Being born in the United States doesn't exempt me from speaking on Haiti. I have just as much right to speak about the issues affecting my people because their blood runs through my veins. I would hate to believe that my homeland of The United States of America would take part in a covert operation that would directly impact my people. Til this day I have yet to hear from family members. My mother's entire family lives in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas such as Delma, Carrefour, and Rue de Centre. Conspiracy theorists have speculated that our country is taking part in a collective military effort to seek and destroy but I leave that up to your objective minds. This project is better known as The Haarp Project, which Jesse Ventura exposed a month ago. If you look at the time frame of all the quakes that affected Haiti, you will notice a starking revelation. From the left, you will see the date, time, latitude, longitude, depth, and finally the magnitude of the quake. If you take a look at Haiti's depth, the scale reads 10 for each quake which means 10 feet below the Earth's surface. Also, when you check the magnitude of these quakes all of them range from 4.4 and the highest recorded is 7.0. This is what was initially reported to us on the 12th of January 2010. I did my own math and came up with 244.2 magnitude if you add all the quakes together. Then I got an average of 4.884 (round off to 4.9 for argument sake)when you divide the sum by 50. I'm not a rocket science, but something doesnt sound right here. How does one country seem to get hit with all those quakes in a span of five days? We all know California is prone for earthquakes but not even they could sustain that amount of shock as much as they're used to quakes. The numbers below indicate the total fatalies a single country amassed as a result of an earthquake. You clearly see California just had a quake and recorded no fatalities, but the depth of this quake was 29.3km below the Earth's surface,which leads me to believe the risk was less. As for China, it was 19km with a magnitude of 7.9 which killed 87,587 people. For the Andaman Islands, the depth was 30km killing over 200,000 people. The point I'm trying to make is the fact that the higher the magnitude and the closer the epicenter of the quake is to the region, the more damage it will create. Haiti's death toll is expected to reach well over 200,000--the census is not in since people are still being counted for and there are countless hundreds buried under rubble. Fifty quakes is enough to obliterate and create the disaster that Haiti encountered several days ago. I would hate to believe my country is behind some covert operation that clearly wanted to test how much damage they could do with a weapon of mass destruction. This form of combat is not supposed to be used and if this is the case, we're in alot of trouble as a nation. As you think about these things, I want you to be objective and do your research as well as comment back with what you have learned. Lets get a dialogue going, because the germ of defeat is in every selfish thought. I don't think any country could withstand that amount of pressure as a result of an earthquake. Not even California experienced anything remotely close to what Haiti endured. I pray for my people in Haiti and you need to be weary of what your doing when your donating money. Who is to say your not taking part of something greater than you and me as a whole. Think about it!

PRISONERS FREED FROM HAITI EARTHQUAKE
Can you imagine being locked up serving an insurmountable amount of time? I dont wish this on anyone, but just envision being in a situation where your Suspended In Time for quite a while. I remember I used to dream of something like that to happen for me when I was locked up for seven years. There were times I thought about being freed from prison like Daniel in the Bible. Unfortunately for me, being freed came later than sooner but nevertheless I was freed! Mainly due to my determination and persistence by filing an appeal for a ticket I received in Attica for assault on staff. They denied me witnesses so that was all I needed to file my appeal. I had enough grounds and God guided me through it all. I was later transferred to Sing Sing, then from there my appeal came back stating I had a de novo hearing. In other words, they granted me another hearing for the ticket I already served six months in the box for. I had 18 months in the box altogether over the years as well as 18 months loss of good time. When I went to the hearing, they still found me guilty but since I had already served the box time-they couldn't give me anymore time than what I had already served. Everything was working in my favor! The hearing officer said he wasn't going to take any good time from me so that meant I was a free man. I was well over my Conditional Release of six years so when I heard him say that, I just looked up and thanked God for freeing me. Thats how I came home because I was supposed to go back to another parole board in two years, which would've been my fourth but God made sure that didn't happen. He had bigger and better plans for me, I came home on a technicality. That was then, this is now. In Haiti, over two thousand prisoners were freed as a result of that horrendous quake. Can you imagine a bunch of crazed pedophiles, rapist, and murderers running the streets free amidst all that's taking place in Haiti? This is what Haiti is dealing with right this very minute. Not only do they have to deal with helicopters dropping food down to them as if they're a bunch of savages but they have to worry about a bunch of crazed prisoners who were freed in the midst of chaos. Talk about a miracle! You know how many days I thought about something like that happening for me? Anyhow, my heart goes out to my people in Haiti-we are a resilient people and will bounce back from this stronger than ever. Its unfortunate this had to happen in order for the world to become more conscious of the country's needs but God works in mysterious ways so who are we to question the hand of God?

NBA PLAYERS OR THUGS?
I wanted to talk about another sports figure who recently got involved with the law as a result of brandishing a weapon. NBA guard Gilbert Arenas whose a guard for the Washington Wizards pleaded guilty Friday, January 15, 2010 to one count of carrying a pistol without a license in the District of Columbia. It seems like getting in trouble with the law is something these players look forward to doing. You would think that after seeing the end result of all the other figures who get in trouble for carrying pistols, they'd be more cognizant and responsible for their actions but this is not the case. Gibert Arenas is fortunate to receive a plea agreement instead of receiving four charges. The Assistant United States attorney could've given him the maximum penalty of five years of being Suspended In Time. Instead, prosecutors didn't push for that. The three time All-Star is expected to do six months for his actions and scheduled to be sentenced on March 26, 2010. He awaits sentencing and has since been suspended indefinitely by the NBA. The league is currently investigating the matter and have not issued a final punishment until said investigation is completed. Another great career down the drain as a result of poor decision making.
Arenas’s gun charge was the result of a Dec. 21 altercation in the Verizon Center locker room with guard Javaris Crittenton. On Friday, Kavanaugh presented a statement of facts regarding the dispute between Arenas and another player, although Crittenton was not named.
The prosecution said that Arenas and the other player were involved in a dispute on the team plane as it flew from Phoenix to Washington after the Wizards’ Dec. 19 game against the Suns.
Arenas and the player got into an argument over a card game. The other player suggested that he and Arenas have a fistfight, but Arenas, 28, said he was too old to fight. Arenas then suggested he would burn the player’s vehicle or shoot him in the face.
The other player said he would shoot Arenas in his knee. Arenas told members of the Wizards’ organization that the statements were made in jest.
On Dec. 21, at about 9:30 a.m., according to the statement, Arenas entered the Wizards’ locker room wearing a backpack over his chest. Arenas was carrying at least one firearm in the backpack, a Smith & Wesson revolver.
Arenas walked from his locker to the locker of the player, opened the backpack and placed four unloaded firearms on a chair near the player’s locker. Arenas wrote “Pick 1” on a piece of paper and placed it on the player’s chair.
When the other player entered the locker room, he asked Arenas, “What is this?” Arenas told the player that he said he was going to shoot him, so he should pick one of the weapons.
According to the statement, the other player told Arenas he did not need one of Arenas’s guns because he had his own. He then threw one of Arenas’s firearms across the room. Arenas saw the other player display what looked like a silver-colored, semiautomatic handgun.
“I never threatened or assaulted anyone with the guns and never pointed them at anyone,” Arenas said in a statement released earlier this month. “Joke or not, I now recognize that what I did was a mistake and was wrong.”
After the altercation, Arenas placed the firearms inside his locker before putting them into a suitcase. He gave the suitcase to a teammate and instructed him to place them in Arenas’s car, which was in the Verizon Center’s parking garage.
The prosecution said there was no evidence that the teammate knew the bag contained firearms. The teammate could not find Arenas’s vehicle, so he placed the suitcase in a secured area of the garage, according to the statement.
Wizards team officials soon learned of the firearms, and Arenas told team management about the altercation. Arenas led a member of the Wizards’ security staff to the suitcase, and the security staff took the weapons from Washington to Virginia.
On Dec. 24, Arenas surrendered four firearms to the Metropolitan Police Department. All four guns were unloaded, but Arenas does not have a license to carry firearms in Washington, and the firearms were not registered there.
Crittenton has not been charged with a crime. On Thursday, the police searched his Arlington, Va., home for the gun that was reportedly used in the dispute with Arenas.
It is unclear if the Wizards will seek to void the rest of Arenas’s six-year, $111-million contract.
After Arenas entered his plea, the Wizards issued a statement that called him “a cornerstone” of the team for six years but said they were “deeply saddened and disappointed” in his actions and that he had used “extremely poor judgment.”

Today we celebrate the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Born on January 15, 1929, Dr. King dedicated his entire life towards the Civil Rights Movement. He was a peacekeeper despite the abuse and mistreatment of our people during racial segregation. He fought for our civil rights as an activist along with countless other humanitarians who didnt believe in the ideology of one set of people being treated one way and others being treated unfairly. He stood up for us when people were scared to speak out and for that he was taken from us at the young age of 39 on April 4, 1968. I celebrate his legacy today along with you all because he paved the way for us to have a better life. He changed an entire nation, but as we all know til this day the very same things he fought for still exists in our world today. We've come a long way, but there's still alot of work to be done. In order to eradicate the mentality of people you have to change the way people think. It's because of him we all have our very first black president in Barack Obama. Not in a million years would you think that was possible but he laid the groundwork that paved the way for President Obama to be in office today. What I liked about Doctor King was the fact that he looked at all races of people being one. He believed in human kind, it didnt matter whether you were white, black, green, or orange. His determination to abolish racism sparked His infamous "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington. Well I'm here to tell you I have a Dream also. That dream is to help my people in Haiti right now who are suffering right now. We all have a little humanitarian in each of us and that's one thing about the human race I respect. In hard times, we bring solidarity and bond together for a common cause. I have a real cause right now that I need to fight and bring to the forefront. That fight is to make sure I'm doing my part to help out my people who is in dire need of my help. God works in mysterious ways and if this is my calling, then I whole heartedly accept the challenge. I was built for adversity! With that being said, I'm starting a foundation for that very purpose. Thanks to my good friend Bobby Johnson, I'm setting the wheels in motion to do my part. I'll update you with more information real shortly. Enjoy your day and be Blessed.

Da Brat Wilds Out!
First and foremost I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. God has blessed us to see another year and for that we should all be grateful. Without further adue, I was supposed to post this a while back but I figured I'd share it with you now since there seems to be so many people being locked up that I can't seem to keep up. This particular person is no stranger to you or me and she goes by the name of Shawntae Harris aka Da Brat. If you ever wondered what happened to the beautiful damsel who is a sister to LisaRaye McCoy, well let me put you on to the scoop. Da Brat has been Suspended In Time for the past two years serving a three year sentence for an incident that occurred in Atlanta at Studio 72, owned by mentor Jermaine Dupree. Apparently she got into a dispute with one of the waitresses there by hitting the victim with a bottle then slashing her face with the same bottle. This happened on October 31, 2008. Pleading guilty to the lesser charge of aggravated assault in hopes of a lighter sentence, the judge showed no mercy and slapped Da Brat with three years in prison since the victim suffered permanent facial scars. I've always loved her style and her fiery delivery when it came to rapping. She's also sexy as hell but Da Brat is not a stranger to trouble. Her rap sheet also includes an incident that earned her a year probation and lots of community service for a pistol whipping incident. We all love Da Brat, we all grew up with her and watched her develop into who she is today. I hate to see her in that predicament and I hope she learns a valuable lesson from her situation. There's a fine line of things you can do once your in the limelight and she clearly crossed that line. I wish her nothing but the best and pray for her speedy return back to society!
