Watching Travis Smiley's State Of The Black Union 2006 on C-Span, Dr. King's historical statement concerning integration, "I fear I might be sending my people into a burning house." was made by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who retracted his invitation because of medical reasons but chartered a plane to be present (not to mention it was Savior's Day weekend).

Harry Bellefonte, who was on the same panel (he was invited to Mrs. King funeral and then dis-invited according to Jesse Jackson) said that Dr. King solution was that we must become "firemen".

Those panelists, including Travis seemed to feel that becoming a "fireman" was necessary along with honoring "The New Covenant".

The government did not put out the fire for the Katrina victims they let it burn for days, they refuse to put out the fire of reparations, failing education, injustice incarcerations, homelessness, joblessness, exorbitant heating prices, health care insurance and poverty. Yet we are called to put her fire out, Black people were firemen for 256 years of inhumane slavery, a century of Jim Crow and in this present new millennium.

I had a dream vision a couple of years ago and saw all of America in a blaze, the question becomes, "firemen" for what, so that she can continue her racist white supremacy, attempts for world domination, suppress us with her passed Patriot Act to take away our constitutional rights, her wicked foreign policies and fascism, her wars based on lies that have killed over one hundred thousand people. I say let her "burn baby burn".

We save her by letting her burn and from her ashes perhaps she will become the Phoenix something new and better, as "firemen" we save her to allow her to continue in her ungodly, immoral, corrupt unrighteousness, if we save her we will continue to get what we've always gotten.

Dick Gregory here in Atlanta on his 15 city tour Foodz N The Hood, with his research in hand, gave us proof that AIDS was created and patented, mercury is in the flu vaccine, etc., (did you see him on TV One with Cathy Hughes) at the end of his talk he fainted from exhaustion, gathered himself and came back to the podium with his notes in hand, we had to force him to sit down, we called 9-1-1, a real warrior, who loves his people, who was constantly at the side of Dr. King, showed that his priority is to speak truth, love and awaken his people. I mention this to say, what will we do when his voice and the voice of Farrakhan have passed on, who will speak fearless truth to us?

They like Harriett Tubman "I freed many but I could have freed many more, if they had only know they were slaves."

The movie "The Spoke Who Set By The Door" aired on TV One, it was pulled from distribution when first released, it tells the story of the Blacks who wanted to help her burn and the Blacks who wanted to be "firemen".

As you read this article there's a comet that on a destination course to obliterate the earth, according to The Bible Code earthlings will manage to shatter it, could it be that The Universe feels the same way I do, we don't need no water let the mother #@+%! burn.
