The infamous U.S. government’s Counter Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) was established to “discredit, frame, neutralize, imprison, and kill” Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow political activists in this nation who dared to question and oppose the unjust policies, official narrative, lies, and hypocrisy of the U.S. power elite. Continue reading
The most insidious conspiracy in the U.S. is the power elite’s systemic conspiracy of disinformation and manipulated silence directed against everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people. Continue reading
Subterfuge is defined by the American College Dictionary as, “A deceptive stratagem or device.” In other words, the essence of subterfuge is deceit and stealth. Continue reading
The millions of women and men in the U.S. have, for many decades, been ingrained by the U.S. power elite, with the fallacious notion that we live in a “functioning democracy” that serves the interests of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people. This notion is of course a well perpetuated myth of gigantic proportions. Continue reading
It is now April 2013, and Barack Obama has repeatedly demonstrated that he is the draconian ‘Kill List,’ drone missile, “war criminal” president of the United States. For these past years there has been, and continues to be, “no peace or justice under [the] Obama presidency.” Continue reading
Whenever the U.S. corporate/military government, and its corporate-stream media propaganda arm, seek to discredit persons who do not accept their packaged narrative of past and present events, it describes such persons as so-called ‘conspiracy theorists.’ Continue reading
In this year of 2013, it remains abundantly clear that the stories (i.e., the narrative) pertaining to the victories and intense past and present struggles of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people continue to be distorted, disfigured, and/or outright omitted by the national and global power elite who are intent upon ramming their historical and contemporary narrative down our throats. Continue reading
Language is an incredibly powerful tool. It can be used for great good or enormous evil. It can be wonderfully liberating or hideously demeaning and enslaving. Continue reading
Serious political activism, like history itself, is both ongoing and dialectical in breadth, depth, and scope. It cannot be worn and then conveniently removed like a pair of gloves. Whether it is acknowledged or not, every generation of serious political activists are intrinsically connected because serious political activism spans the generations—both past and present. This reality is both the joy and the hardship of being a committed and serious political activist. Continue reading
Yet again the U.S. government and its corporate-stream media propaganda arm are obfuscating the narrative and distracting the populace of this nation around the issue of the role of women and gays in the U.S. military. Continue reading
Today, more than at any period in recent history, there is a need for a genuine Everyday People’s Consciousness Movement in the United States. This movement must embrace people of goodwill of all colors, and be based upon firm principles that reflect an understanding of the words of Malcolm X wherein he described the inevitable “clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation.” Continue reading
Barack Obama , who is the ongoing chief executive and commander-in-chief of the United States government and military, has, along with his corporate Democratic and Republican party cronies, destroyed the very essence of transparency in government and the adherence to national and international law. Continue reading
The horrific December 14, 2012, massacre of innocent victims in Newtown, Connecticut, now joins a litany of horrible massacres—including the Columbine massacre (Colorado) on April 20, 1999, the Virginia Tech massacre (Virginia) on April 16, 2007, the Geneva County massacre (Alabama) on March 10, 2009, the Fort Hood massacre (Texas) on November 5, 2009, and the Aurora massacre (Colorado) on July 20, 2012. In other words, in the past twelve years there have been at least six very publicized massacres in this nation, four of which have occurred since the year 2009 alone. Continue reading
The United States is sorely in need of a genuine people’s president and a government that is owned by its people, not by the banksters and other bloodsucking robber barons and entities of Wall Street. This reality will only be brought to fruition with the advent of complete and total systemic change. This means we must truly educate ourselves and each other—versus allowing ourselves to be brainwashed and brain dead. Continue reading
As the global corporate elite ravages the planet, and the United States slips into a corporate-owned police state, and U.S. imperialistic military adventures rage on in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya (North Africa), Somalia (East Africa), and elsewhere on Mother Earth it is easy to become sad—even downright disillusioned. Continue reading
The horrible and massive Israeli Zionist slaughter of Palestinian children, women, and old and young men is, in fact, an ongoing bloody affair which takes place due to the blatant and constant support on part of the pro-apartheid Zionist, war criminal U.S. president Barack Obama and his corporate-owned Democrat and Republican party cohorts. Continue reading
Wars are nothing more than legitimized, government-sanctioned—mass murder. Thus, the very expression, ‘war on terror’ is an insane contradiction in terms. Continue reading
Either we are going to get on the euphemistic plantation/reservation boxcars on their way to hell or we are going to derail the entire damn train, and fundamentally change this hypocritical, filthy, unjust and corrupt U.S. political system. We can’t have it both ways simultaneously. Continue reading
Here we are in the latter part of the year 2012, and the fruit of this nation—its people—are in a state of manipulated confusion and systemically contrived despair. This precious planet of Mother Earth, and its many people, are teetering on the brink of annihilation. Humankind’s many, have been horribly betrayed, by its avaricious few. Continue reading
It is through boundless tears of enormous sorrow and simultaneously, with a renewed sense of determination that my column is written today. My sisters and brothers, another people’s warrior has transitioned on to be nestled by the spirit of our precious Mother Earth in her strong, gentle and welcoming bosom. Continue reading
Voting in general—and in particular, voting for the Democrats and Republicans, especially on the federal level—in this corporate-controlled, Patriot Act, NDAA, ‘Kill List,’ de facto police- state, is akin to choosing how one wants to die; when in fact, we should be demanding systemic change and deciding how we want to live! Continue reading
Will the United States ever genuinely change its bloody and hypocritical ways at home and abroad? Continue reading
Perhaps the biggest single lie perpetrated upon everyday ordinary people of all colors in the United States is that the corporate owned, symbiotically-joined, Democrat and Republican parties genuinely represent them, their needs, interests, hopes, and aspirations. Continue reading
The late South African political activist Steve Biko correctly said that, “The greatest weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” The 21st century U.S. corporate-stream media has irrefutably proven this to be accurate. This media is both the bane and the deadly novocaine of the masses of everyday ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people in this nation and worldwide. Continue reading
The corporate owned government of the United States, now headed by President Barack Obama, has under the rubric of waging a so-called war against ‘terrorism,’ launched a perpetual terrorist war against the liberties and human rights of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people in this nation and around the world. The U.S. police state is no longer merely coming, it has arrived. Continue reading
What does being a Black ‘American’ really mean? More to the point, what does it mean today in terms of political consciousness, and most especially black revolutionary political consciousness? A “reexamination” of where Black America collectively stands today in this regard is very much in order. Continue reading
Apparently the current hypocritical and utterly absurd rallying cry from two so-called ‘leftists’ and/or ‘progressives,’ including Carl Davidson (an author and Co-Chair of Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism), et al, is that “The 2012 elections have little to do with Obama’s record . . .” which is, further in their words, “why” they “are voting for him.” What unmitigated horse manure! Taking such a position is precisely the sort of nonsensical gibberish that can be expected from systemic gatekeepers and de facto regressives. It is insulting and insane. Continue reading
In reality, the United States is a one party corporatist political state. This political system is utterly corrupt, amoral, and illegitimate. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has recently so blatantly exemplified this more profoundly than the scripted mockery of democracy embodied by the charade of both the Democrat and Republican 2012 national conventions. Continue reading
Ordinary Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow women and men in this nation, and throughout Mother Earth, have been systematically and systemically horribly betrayed by a cynical, callous, selfish, and blood sucking group of persons who place prestige, wealth, and personal power above the collective needs and human rights of everyday people. Continue reading
The Democrats and the Republicans (i.e. the Republicrats) are once again ratcheting up to a fever pitch, in this phony, four year cycle, yet another corporate-stream media feeding frenzy, known as ‘elections’ in the United States. This pathetic state of affairs continues to be the bane of everyday ordinary people in this nation and the ultimate mockery of democracy in the 21st century. Continue reading
As bloody U.S. wars and/or militarization, driven by the insatiable greed of the corporate/military elite, rage on in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the ‘Middle East,’ Africa, and elsewhere on this precious planet of Mother Earth, here at home, police-state stealth, government disinformation, de facto political suppression, corporate-media malfeasance, and increasing economic austerity represent the unhappy realities being endured by the vast majority of everyday Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow people inside this nation.

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Larry Pinkney
Due to the insatiable greed and subterfuge of today’s power elite, the peril being faced by humankind grows even more grave every single day. Corporate hegemony, economic apartheid, government subterfuge, and profit-driven perpetual wars are moving this planet to the very brink of extinction. Continue reading →
