Dick Gregory On The Assassination Of Malcolm X
“I was not surprised at all by Malcolm’s murder. I knew it had been planned down to his last breath and that once planned nothing was going to stop the killers. The press gave me the same lie they would feed to the American public for the next thirty-four years. I disagreed then, and I still disagree. I knew that day U got the news that Malcolm’s assassination was a government hit. Even after Malcolm was shot, they had their men in place to make sure he was dead. The man who gave Malcolm mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was an undercover cop. When we finally got a copy of Malcolm’s autopsy report, it showed air bubbles in his lungs. It is fatal to give a person mouth to mouth when they have chest wounds, because you pull air bubbles into the lungs. Strangely enough, Malcolm’s autopsy report showed the same cause of death as Lee Harvey Oswald’s, showing gunshot wounds to the chest and air bubbles in the lung. Another key piece of evidence from Malcolm’s autopsy report clearly showed that the bullets in his body were fired from above him, yet the men who allegedly shot Malcolm were standing in the audience below him. So the brothers that the government paid to kill Malcolm were given blanks and they didn’t even know it. The government didn’t trust that they would do the job, so they had agents in the ceiling of that building to take care of him themselves. Under the Freedom of Information Act, we now know that the CIA rented the Audubon ballroom the week before Malcolm was murdered. Now people must ask themselves why would the CIA rent the Audubon Ballroom and what did they do while they were there? I know what they did and one day the world will know the truth.” -From, “Callus On My Soul” By: Dick Gregory
TODAY IS BUY BLACK FRIDAY
PLEASE PASS THIS ON! (EACH ONE TEACH ONE OR TWO!) THIS IS PHASE ONE ON HOW WE CAN HELP TO STRENGTHEN & EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY:
The 2008 not guilty verdict in the Sean Bell case evoked outrage, emotion, and debate. It is not an anomaly that the police officers involved in the Sean Bell slaying were acquitted of all charges on all counts in State Supreme Court. I could run out of ink printing the names of people who have been victimized by the inaptly named justice system.
The American justice system has been especially terroristic towards the African American community. Many community members can cite historic and personal accounts to prove this. Therefore, it would be foolhardy (at the least) to turn to a system that has methodically oppressed us, and request that they free us. We can only free ourselves through extreme discipline and intelligent planning.
As a community we have been too compliant with leaders who organize ineffective, delayed reactions. The only strategy that can save us in this last hour is one that calls for a collective code of conduct that will be conducive to improving the conditions of our community, and shifting the paradigm of how we are treated by outside entities. The first step of this code of conduct should be based on economics.
The old adage of “money talks,” still reigns true in the new millennium. Any political scientist worth his or her library card will tell you that: “Economic powerlessness equals political powerlessness,” and conversely “economic power equals political power.” This means that if we continue to allow our wealth to be extracted from our community, we will remain impotent.
The power of the collective “Black Dollar” is often discussed. However, that power has been left unchanneled. Today is the day to change that. A one-time boycott is not going to bring long-term change and respect to our community. Our community has launched boycotts before. Our success and ascension will be based on what we consistently do. For this reason, we should initiate “BUY BLACK FRIDAYS.”
BUY BLACK FRIDAYS is a small step towards our community acquiring power via controlling our economics. Every Friday, people who acknowledge the injustice and oppression that the African American community has been consistently subjected to should do one of the following:
Option #1: Spend $0 on Friday
Option #2: Spend no more than $10 on Friday
Option #3: Only Shop at Black Businesses on Friday
[PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ABOVE OPTIONS CAN & SHOULD BE EXERCISED ON A DAILY BASIS. However, we can all at the very least focus on Fridays. This way we can take a collective stand and build our collective discipline. Please remember that this is only Phase 1!].
To the people who are tempted to label “BUY BLACK FRIDAYS” as racist, I say this: In the big scheme of things, this is about right & wrong, justice & injustice. The African American community is a strong, proud community that has endured the brunt of America’s iron fist. We must stop the pounding. I feel that any fair-minded individual will concur, and join in.
ANY business that is privileged to enjoy the support of the African American community MUST return that support.
I thank you in advance for your effort and dedication.

The Fly Or Die Commerce Report: The E-Book Takeover?
Book retailers are reporting a sharp decline in revenue. Borders bookstore has filed for bankruptcy, and Barnes & Noble has reported a 25% drop in net profits in its last accounting quarter.The emergence of e-books is noted as the main contributing factor for the drop in tangible book sales.
According to the BBC, Barnes & Noble has made a vertical integration move by "investing heavily in its Nook electronic book reader." The famous book retailer is hoping that its move into selling e-books will help them eventually regain their position in the marketplace.
[SIDEBAR: I'm not a fan of e-books. Also, thinking a bit further I fear a world where all information is transmitted digitally.]

Invention Spotlight: Illusion Transmitter
Valerie Thomas (pictured above), former mathematical data analyst and project manager for NASA, created the Illusion Transmitter. She received a patent for her invention in 1980. About.com describes Valerie Thomas’ invention as follows: “This futuristic invention extends the idea of television, with its images located flatly behind a screen, to having three dimensional projections appear as though they were right in your living room.”

Riddle Me This: What Is The Quality Of Our Water?
"During the twentieth century, the age of fire, we kept the fire going to produce large quantities of energy. In 1900, the earth's population was 1.5 billion. By 2000 that number had grown to 6 billion. Naturally, we needed enormous energy to support the lives of this increased population. this, we continuously burned coal and oil. Their toxic by-products eventually contaminated the earth's atmosphere, spreading over the Northern Hemisphere. Polluted rainwater fell from the sky and seeped deep into the earth.Water cirulation occurs in thirty- to fifty-year cycles. This means that rainwater which fell thirty to fifty years ago is now used as groundwater for drinking. As the world's industrial output increased tremendously after World War II, air quality began to seriously suffer. Sixty years after the war, we have no choice but to use polluted water for some time." -From, "The True Power of Water" By: Masaru Emoto
