Orchestrated Chaos
It is well known that major powers that are responsible for orchestrating global chaos. By their very deeds, they have proven to be incapable of feeling compassion for poor people suffering. They have created a system of Geopolitical upheaval, mayhem, and pandemonium that benefits a few while murdering and ripping millions of innocent men, women, and children from their families, cultures, lands.
Many leaders in developing countries have been convinced by arms merchants and war mongers that they must fear their neighbors and sometimes even their brothers. Consequently, those leaders end up spending millions of dollars on artilleries, guns, bombs, tanks, warships, fighter jets, and other killing machines while their citizens go un-educated, un-housed and un-fed.

There are individuals on both side of the political divide that have said that the ACA need adjustments; however, most Republicans are hell bent on “throwing out the baby with bathwater”!
President Trump has aggressively and forcefully thrust the Republican control to Congress to push out the GOP bill, the American Health Care Act. The world is now aware that Trump and the U.S. House of Representative were unsuccessfully in moving their Health Care Act forward.
Trump’s approval rating hobbling around 37% and GOP’s American Health Care Act approval rating standing at 17% was not enough to move Republican on the far right or those on the center-right to vote for the GOP healthcare bill.

America, The RICHEST Country on Earth Is “Leading From Behind” In Providing Healthcare For All Its’ People!
When it comes to the provision of “Universal Health Care” we are either too SELFISH or too STUPID to understand the TRUE VALUE of providing HealthCare for All Americans. Our political leaders have the best healthcare that the people’s monies can buy. Do they think that the American people are less worthy of protections from unforeseen medical risk than other in developed countries?
The June 28, 2012, passage of President Obama’s “Affordable Care Act,” better known as Obamacare,” has pushed the “Obstructionist Republicans” even further out of their “Secret Closet.” Many of the closet obstructionists are the “Same Group of Republicans” who held a “Secret Meeting” on President Obama’s inauguration day, January 20, 2009, to design a plan to “Bring Down” President Barack Obama before he got started.
Republicans have voted 52 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). They have used every trick in their arsenal to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety. They have relentless worked to chip away at the law by targeting individual provisions, withholding funding, and undermining implementation. To this day and against the will of the American people, they have shown no signs of abandoning their anti-Obamacare crusade.
Melaninated People Have An Obligation To Protect Global Melanin
More than ever before in history, Melanin Rich People have an obligation to protect Global Melanin. Atrocities are being played out throughout the world, mostly inspired by historical global racism and remnants of colonialism, is working to destroy Melaninated people in the worst possible ways.
Melaninated people are being used to protect foreign interest; therefore, some members of our African family are without compassion when it comes to destroying other Melaninated people. The predators that are promoting this kind of Melanin on Melanin violent insanity must be exposed, held accountable, and severely punished for their horrendous inhumane acts of genocide.
Because of White Power structural and White Racism, we are losing Melaninated people by the thousands in countries throughout the world. This is specifically true in African states such as: Nigeria, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Niger, Cote d’Ivoire, Angola, Mali and most importantly South Africa.
Millions of Melaninated people that are suffering unimaginable brutalities are fleeing their homes and being forced into internal and external exile within and outside of their home states. The false narratives that document animosities between Melaninated people in Africa and the Middle East are the products of global media assets.
For the most part, the global media continue to narrowly describe Melanin on Melanin conflicts in Africa as simply ethnic or tribal and Christians against Muslims violence. During each event, the world’s mafia media immediately spread false narratives that are accepted as facts; therefore, their explanations takes on a life of its’ on.

BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS DEMAND HUMAN AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
African’s Revolutions For Human and Economic Justice Will Most Likely Be Televised.
Europeans came to South Africa to work for the Dutch East India Company, as farmers and merchants escaping from religious persecution. In the quest to settle on supple land, they realized how resourceful and communal the indigenous were. As an outsider, incapable of adapting to these cultures, they chose to use excessive force and brutal intimidation to steal the indigenous/aborigines’ lands and their natural resources. From 1948 until its abolition in the early 1990s, the world community witnessed, in silence and without remorse, years of hardship, suffering, and humiliation committed by the wicked South African apartheid regime and its foreign supporters against the South Africa’s original Black Population.
In 1994 when a coalition of majority Black and minority white government leaders officially ended the apartheid system, false promises of equality and peace surfaced in South Africa. As leadership was transitioning, it was discovered that a major failure of the African National Congress (ANC) was the acceptance of the dreaded “Truth & Reconciliation Commission”.
The so-called South African’s Truth & Reconciliation Commission (TCR) was a deceitful enterprise. The TRC was supported by several Western governments; the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. These entities helped create and sustain the racial dictatorship that came to be known as Apartheid. This same group of thieves persuaded the ANC leadership to place the interests of international financial investors above the needs of their own citizens. More importantly, they were also persuaded them to abandon their “Freedom Charter” that called for redistribution of South Africa’s wealth.
