Besouro (The Assailant in the U.S.) [Moviespora]
Saw this epic film at the L.A. Pan-African Film Festival some years ago when it was in Culver City Been sharing it ever since. Enjoy!
Three Es, Empowerment & Enjoymet\” #DrClarneSayings #DrDDClayborne #Afrispora #AfrisporaMindstateouro [The Assailant in the U.S.]
Why not Beetle of The Beetle? I always was and still am perplexed by the Drastic difference in name. It may be nothing YET a Connective Pan-Afrik/can (Pan-Human) artistic, socio-cultural and even geopolitical expression is not Fully Exploited in beneficial ways and manners as it should be.
In my view a truly Missed Opportunity of demonstrating what I refer to as “The Three Es”! = “Enlightenment, Empowerment & Enjoyment” #DrClarneSayings #DrDDClayborne #Afrispora #AfrisporaMindstate
Thanks for this documentary my Triton, my brother Takeo Wong!
Odd Future = Tyler The Creator + The Internet + Earl Sweartshirt + Steve Lacy +++ [ SALUTE!]

THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME.

‘Why I’ll never stand again for ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ (SALUTE!)
– Thom Hartmann’s valuable comments start at the 7:10 mark.
KING: Why I’ll never stand again for ‘The Star-Spangled Banner by Sean King
Thank you Thom Hartmann for being so EXPLICITLY CLEAR as is routine in your handling of knowledge.
So Colin Kaepenick KNOWS ‘THAT OF WHICH HE TALKS’ AND WILL NOT STAND FOR and instead chose to kneel about honorably!
Francis Scott Key was WACK (a mild understatement)!

Jeremy Scahill (INFORMary)
INFORMary = Where from am I INFORMed?
Identified on this day, in order to better equip me by clearing Connecting key INFORMants that I STRONGly recommend to others to be used to aid others in achieving one or all of the “Three Es = Enlightenment, Empowerment & Enjoyment”
#DrClayborneSayings #AfrisporaMindstate
Jeremy Scahill from Democracy Now! days in the early to mid-2000s. This guy is On It from all I can tell for a LONG WHILE … way overdue blog mention. Looking to interweave Tha Realness at all times for the better of humankind via a more INFORMed and INFORMal(ity) operations among us and our folks (friends and folks) and socio-cultural groups.
May seem Deep and it is. Requires drawing from deep inside one’s self in various ways.
Magerman on Mercer’s Support of Trump (YE TUMI ACADEMY)
USEFUL READINGS

“The ultra-wealthy of today differ from the ultra-wealthy in past eras in that they have, a lot of them, no stake in the infrastructure of society,” Magerman said. He’s seen that their wealth does not depend on the health and stability of the country. In fact, they get rich on volatility and instability.”

Camus’ ‘The Stranger’ (YE TUMI ACADEMY)
ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOK I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL…so much so that I LONG considered ‘Mersault’ as a middle name for my son, if I ever had one…yeah that ‘Deep’
…you all are lucky to have it read to you yet I suggest that you read it yourselves…Enjoy however you choose to experience this great work.
This video presentation explains why I was so impacted by The Outsider (Stranger) when I read it in high school. As an inner-city born, agnostic-minded youth that excelled at sports.
At near age 45 it all makes since in my personal development and aspects of that which I want to share with others for their possible personal development.

After you get past what I think of but have never uttered “Assholisms” (which typically = over the top male bravado…I hope folks do not miss that this is a ‘Song of Resistance’ in way too many ways’ to the dominant socio-cultural and political-economic ‘norms’ in way too many spaces and places of Life.
Let’s Link Up folks.

SALUTE! ~ Black Panther’s director: ‘Brotha Kofi’ Ryan Coogler
Kofi is Ryan Coogler’s Akan Day Name. Like mine is Kwame (Saturday born), Kofi indicates that he was born on a Friday in 1986 in his case. Each day carries a variety of attributable spiritual (thus behavioral) traits.
He is symbolically my/our folks now, so he gets a nickname as a term of endearment.
Asante bruh!
