You Can’t fool GOD.
Live a Good Life.
You Can’t fool GOD.
If God has created and allowed to exist,
Who are YOU to hate, kill and destroy.
YOU don’t agree with GOD. Hate is the root of all evil.
Blood Run Done; Cease Now Peace.

Quotes
From Aray’s Reprint of Negro Slavery By Zachary Macaulay
I have hope that there are enough good people in the world to achieve a better future for all poor people.
I have met many beautiful souls of various races working for peace, sustainable development, poverty reduction, women’s rights, children welfare, maintaining the environment and other noble causes that aim to safeguard and improve life on planet earth.
I have reduced the amount of USA TV shows and films I watch because I have come to the conclusion that a large percentage of them are about 1001 ways to kill or justify killing people. With the amount of TV I watch I must have seen more people killed those all my ancestors summed together saw.
Even some deeply religious people are against improving the lives and conditions of the poor. Some think they are smarter than their God. Some use their religious scriptures to justify hate and violence against those they consider others. They have taken Pascal’s wager, yet still do not live as good a life as those who have taken the Atheist’s wager.
I was inspired in London several years ago by Reverend Jessie Jackson stating that “The best role models for children is to give mummy and daddy a job”. Yet celebrities are still primarily touted as role models.
The old slave master mentality persists among some people, governments and corporations. I sometimes think thierBA is repugnant (see YOBA poem at www.aray2.co.uk ). They argue that improving the lives of black people or allowing African countries to develop will be to their detriment. History is replete with instances that prove otherwise.
I believe the sustainable development and improvement in the lives of the African Peoples (wherever they are) should be a top priority today. My perception is that the resources of Africa are being plundered and the people are not benefiting from them.
During the anti apartheid struggle I wrote “As a black man living in the UK, I wish to express my feelings about South Africa.
There is no hope or future for Black people in Britain, or anywhere in the world, while the slavery of apartheid prospers in South Africa. How can Blacks expect fairness or equality anywhere when apartheid is shown to be profitable and supported by the USA and UK governments? South Africa is a reminder of the past slavery and a constant warning to say that is how Blacks can be ill-treated. Black is a natural fact. South Africa is a racist pact. I dislike racist name calling; but just thinking of South Africa makes my blood boil with anger.”
Come on guys, there are more important things than money. Sometime ago I came up with a thought. If life on earth was all about money and having wealth (as some would have us believe) then the lives of over 90% of the people who have ever lived would have been in vain.
I think Reparations for Slavery is a moral categorical imperative.
Appeals to the United Nations may be in vain, because whenever a permanent member of the UN security council says it is acting in it’s “National Interests” the modern real politic of power dictates that, although some objections may be voiced , they are left to their own devices to carry out whatever actions they deem fit. I find it hard to believe that France is not breaking any UN or EU conventions, treaties or resolutions. If there be any truth in this regard I ask “France where is your morality, honesty, humanity and integrity “ (Let me Google translate “La France où est ta moralité, ton honnêteté, ton humanité et ton intégrité”). I find YOBA deplorable.
Now I see the military coups in those countries as the slave owners changing their overseers. Indeed many operate as Autocracy, acting as the overseers described in Negro Slavery, doing what they want, when they want, stealing, and ignoring laws and orders.
The current opaque financial and business practices enable some corrupt government officials to sell assets, borrow or create debts and liabilities for their populations in secret, with the people not having inkling or the means of finding out their obligations. It is like aiding, abetting and facilitating massive thievery. Stories abound of such thieves storing their ill gotten gains in Western banks (Non-African), in Tax havens (such as Switzerland, The UK and it’s dependent territories). Some in such secrecy that not even their family are aware of their hoard. Upon their death their wealth is kept by bankers, accountants lawyers or even western governments. Even if their hoard was kept in Africa it could at the very least be used to finance Jobs and development of the locals.
I do not believe in Unity. I have concluded that most attempts at Unity in my lifetime have led to conflict. Especially, when differences of opinions and cognitive dissonance come to the fore. Instead I believe in Co-operation. Humans are cooperating animals. With co-operation one can retain their differences, beliefs and foibles, yet still make positive contributions. We co-operate every day in our daily lives (e.g queuing, driving, attending a concert) but are not united.

From ARC website http://www.arcwebsite.org/
“In considering this proposal, Please be mindful of the fact that 9.2 millions people have died in Africa in the last 10 years (1994 to 2003) due to the effects of conventional arms in conflicts. 9 millions dead in the last 10 years. That’s like the whole of London or New York, or Yokohama and Los Angles, or Sydney and Uruguay, or Ireland and Central African Republic dead in the last 9 years. 9 Million dead, over 70% being civilians; mostly women and children. 9 million dead, yet incredibly, not one person has been prosecuted for supplying the weapons of their destruction and death. It’s like legalised aiding, abetting and facilitating mass slaughter of the innocents.”
“Every gun, every warship, every tank and every military aircraft built is, in the final analysis, a theft from those who are hungry and are not fed, from those who are naked and are not clothed.”
Dwight D Eisenhower, General Commander Allied Forces, World War 2 and US President 1952-1960 (from Peace New’s Nonviolent Action Issue 22 June 2001
“This letter is an appeal to every secretary, technician, custodian, scientist, engineer, and any other person whose participation supports the world war machine. It is a wake-up call before tomorrow comes. Albert Einstein said: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” If there is any hope for the survival of humanity it is cooperative survival. It is not competitive survival. A military-oriented world economy must change soon to a people’s needs-oriented world economy.I know without any doubt in my heart that the people who work on nuclear weapons are as good as people who work anywhere else. I have met some people with such beautiful souls that I find it impossible to explain why they would work on weapons.”
