Dear Ms. Maddow:

I was watching your program on MSNBC the other day, as I am so prone to do, and I discovered that while your program is very well researched, accurate and often points out the faults of the Republican Party—of which there are many—there is one thing you seem to have forgetting or have overlooked about the current strife in the Middle East. According to Wikipedia: ``The 1953 Iranian coup d’état {Known in Iran as the 28 Mordad Coup} was the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh on August 19th, 1953.’’

If I am not mistaken there was almost NO Islamic fundamentalism in Iran or just about anywhere else in the so-called Middle East until this fateful event which even former Secretary Of State for the U.S., Madeline Albright said was a ``Big Mistake.’’ The Iranian People have NEVER forgiven the United States {And I believe England was also involved} for this historical atrocity and this one incident can be traced back to much of the strife in Iran and much of the rest of the Middle East including the hostage taking during the Carter Administration and many of the bombings and so forth. I don’t think Our Government wants to admit this and they keep shelving referendums in the United Nation that would require Our Nation to own up to this life changing event that effected the Iranian People very harshly and disproportionately. This is why they hate us so Throughout the world. The U.S., Russia and China, as leaders of the Security Council in the U.N., are able to table any so-called disruptive votes from small nations like Iran. This makes me wonder whose security is really being counseled at the U.N. This is also why there is a move afoot among some other non-allied nations to start another organized, international diplomatic core to represent ALL NATIONs Fairly, because way too much is being stuffed under the rug at the United Nations.

Peace and Blessings,

The Powerful Third Eye....








The Powerful Third Eye.....

By Brother Tracy Gibson

{Visionary - Businessman}

This is an Open Letter to My Good Brothers and Sisters on the North American Shore and around the World, including the African Continent...

Look at the American Dollar Bill and you will see {On the Back} The Third Eye. The Eye in the Egyptian {African} Pyramid. Right at the TOP!!! We keep chasing these dollar bills as if they really mean a lot more than what they really do mean. There are people who have enough of them to stretch around the world a few times like Warren Buffet does--and they are still unsatisfied and still miserable people. They are still having a bad day, each and every day, because they just don't get enough dollar bills and have enough of Our money. They need to get over it and real quick. They are often filled with hatred, ugly mentalities, and scheming-money-grubbing--``Rule-the-World'' plots, ideas and thoughts. Some of these people who caught up like this are also Black and Latin and Asian, but many, many of them are White. I would venture to say MOST of them are White and Male. They are usually against true democracy, true freedom and true justice as they make their plans to exploit, profit, plunder and kill. Some of these people exist in places like China as well, which is suppose to be a Communists Country, so don't fall for the same old, run-of-the-mill Anti-Communism... It is the profit making and the exploitation of our fellow humans that is the real problem. Capitalism can work, but it needs to be vastly re-tooled, thought out a new and RECONSTRUCTED!!! Totally overhauled to be much, much more humane, decent and about renewable energy sources, sustainability and a clean environment and clean air and water... It simple needs to be made more ``People Friendly'' and we need to be putting our best minds and our energy hard at work, internationally, at working on this... We need to learn more than is being offered on TV because CNN doesn't tell you this stuff. They don't tell the Truth. They are the ``Smiling Faces'' the O Jays and Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff of Philadelphia International Records were telling us about back in the 1970's and 1980's, as I am sure my fellow ``Old School'' comrades will remember.

I once took a class with the Money School of Delaware and the instructor said we have to keep some money stashed away for a rainy day because ``Cash is KING!!!''.. I have come to disagree with her. If there are people with enough dollar bills to stretch around the globe once or twice like the Mellon's do, and they are still unhappy, nasty and negative people like Sarah Palin is, Cash isn't ``KING'' at all--we as Black people and others who care about people first are the Kings and Queens and Empresses and the Love we hold so proudly in our hearts for ourselves and for each other and for GOD is REALLY KING!!! If you are a racist, an ignorant person who doesn't want to learn anything new and a hater, you are part and parcel of the problem--not the solution. Problems come in ALL races as do solutions.

Most people I know, and they are just about ALL Black people, only want or envision having enough money to make it another day or two: to get food on the table and needed medicine; to pay for their children's educations' to pay for decent housing and shelter; to get around from place to place--{Trans passes from SEPTA--especially monthly ones--are a great commodity and of great value right about now if you live in the Philadelphia area--``at least I can get to my job if I have one,'' most local people think.}.. Most of us aren't thinking and dreaming of great mansions; expensive European vacations; big Sweetish-Built Yachts; diamonds, furs, fancy expensive bracelets; fine antiques; jewels; expensive, extravagant meals like fillet Minion or Chateau Bria; expensive Persian carpets; servants and valets to wait on us hand and foot; fancy Italian and German cars with funny names; flouncy Italian designer clothing, slacks, shoes and dresses; expensive Italian and French suites and shoes; expensive cigarettes, cigars and cigarettes and cigar habits; expensive, flagrant bubble baths from France and Spain; expensive drug habits; expensive hats and fancy hairstyles. No, we don't think of that stuff at all {Now, you know damned well I'm kidding myself}. No. We just want to make it another day and get our children educated properly. We just want to have good values instilled in our children and a nice warm place to live.... We just want our children to be able to learn about the illustrious history {Our proper place in World History as People from the Black and African Diaspora} in as real and as truthful a manner as possible. Some of us want the Bling, Bling and the frills, and the bull shit--but most of us will settle for the basics in life because we know to want for more in a country and World that is so filled to the rim with anti-Black and Anti-African Racism and hatred for us as a people--wanting more, wanting Bling Bling is like grasping for the Brass ring at the Circus--The Ring that we will never get and never reach or attain in actuality...

Jewish People: God's Bad Little Boys and Bad Little Girls............

GOD’s Bad Little Boys and Bad Little Girls: The Jewish People…..



By Brother Tracy Gibson…..



Saturday, November 24, 2012 1:31 PM

Don't take my word for it, check out Revelations in the Bible {Chapter 2; Verse 9 } {A Gay ordained Reverend [NOT from Unity Fellowship Church] found it in the Bible for me} and you will see what I'm talking about. They are not obedient to GOD who talks about giving back to your fellow man throughout the Bible {Because they are very greedy people--with their time, money and with their sense of kindness, LOVe and fellowship}; they are a persecuted people, but they have just about spent up the residuals they got from being victims of World War II; they are now running on empty as far as getting empathy and sympathy from most of the rest of the word. Most people see their stubbornness and their intransigence as holding the rest of the World hostage while they insist on maintaining the existence of the Jewish State of Israel. The actuality is that Jewish People have a really concentrated control over much of the world's money supply and wealth and maintain and guard with a vengeance on the door to entrance into most of the very, very lucrative field{s} in our country {Such as diamond and gold merchants; movie moguls; Wall Street Executives; Big Time Publishers; Hedge Fund Executives; Advertising Executives; and so forth.} And they are not sharing that access and power with the little people like you and me….unless we sell out our revolutionary and progressive credentials TOTALLY. If you REALLY analyze it I think you will find this FACT at the source of your personal anger and why you accept the title of anti-Semite for yourself. This is what makes them some of the most hated, despised and resented people on the great Earth. This is why some people I know are actually glad to call themselves anti-Semitic. But I reject that label for myself or for you or anyone who has a legitimate gripe about Jewish Power--because they, the Jewish People, simple use putting such a label on people who hate or don't like them to pigeon hole them and discount them and use these people's anti-Semitism as grounds for dismissing their views and opinions. The point of view of those who hate on the Jewish People needs to be examined and reviewed to reveal the true nature and legitimacy of these views. The only reason I want to see such a Progressive or Bold view that would question Zionism reviewed and assessed is because I am personally tired of watching as the world sits by as the Middle East almost blows itself off the map in an attempt to maintain and augment the existence of the Jewish State... Don't let them pigeon hole you. Stand up and be proud of your views and be counted about the Jewish People and come to a better understanding of the conflicts in the region by reading such books as the following...

xxxxx

There are lots of good books on the Middle East. If you are looking for ones more focused on Palestine, the one I recommend as a start is Susie Abulhawa's novel Mornings in Jenin, which covers the conflict from its beginning from the perspective of a Palestinian family who are driven off their land. We used it for a book group a few years ago.


Non-fiction works include The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe, and a three-part series of books called Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews by Alan Hart. Hart (a former correspondent for BBC) traces the history of Zionism from its roots in the late 1800's.

{The Above Books were referred to me by a Woman of European descent named Betsey Piette who has been a long-time activist and a good friend of mine.  In fact, she, along with about five other people of different races, including two Black people, helped train me politically, and I am VERY, VERY THANKFUL!!!

XXXXX

Other Solutions:

I have put out several times and to several people another—including Jewish Groups—other options for the Middle East. That is to call the State of Israel a new and great name. Such as what Ronald Reagan, {Even though I had no respect for Ronald Reagan} called a Great City:-- That is ``A Shining City on a Hill.’’ This great City would NOT be just for the Jewish People, but would offer a free and open state for ALL people and would be run by a different formation of people than the United Nation or the Jewish People who would run and control it. This new Formation MUST be uncorrupted and not influenced by money interests and traditional POWER influences, liberal OR conservative. This New Formation would be of countries of the world on a rotating basis—never to be dominated by the so-called Security Council of the United Nations {Russia, The United States of North America, and China} which makes up the U.N. ’S Security Council and which vetoes every progressive bill or Progressive designation about the Middle East or Israel that comes down the pike that would give real and lasting positive solutions to the conflicts in the Middle East; or which does nothing to the illegal state of Israel to punish them for holding the rest of the world hostage with their racist insistence that they continue to exist as a racist, discriminatory state that persecutes the Arab Palestinians and steals their land. This New Land would do away with that discrimination and racism and would Bless the World with a New Country—``a Shining City on a Hill’’ that would be for ALL People and be free for all to work, play, enjoy life and own property—not just the Jewish People. {You will notice that I don’t call them Jews, because I think that term, JEWS, in itself is used hatefully. I call them Jewish People…}… There is a need for only One State in that area—not two. But no one seems to listen to this view. I invite you to join me in working with me to get the word out about this as soon as possible, before the entire region blows a hole in the Great Earth that cannot be repaired and kills millions of people. If you look correctly back at the history and analyze it correctly, that is exactly what happened during World War II. {They, The Jewish People, hoarded money and controlled the German economy and Hitler came to POWER and tried to exterminate them. We don’t need another Hitler}… Let’s not repeat history and have them executed, killed and persecuted once again. Let’s ALL work for a better solution, a solution for Peace and LOVe, because GOD is LOVe and LOVe is for EVERYONE…

Hating Ourselves...Turning the Ship Around

How Black Economic Hate Can Turn Around Before it Sinks Us ALL and Instead Become Black Economic Empowerment: A Grass-Roots Financial Perspective

By Brother Tracy Gibson...

I was on the Broad Street Subway a few months ago, on the way to or from a Class I was taking with the Temple University Small Business Development Center. There was a White man collecting money from Black passengers while saying he needed the money for food and shelter. Something about this picture didn't look right to me.

The event, coupled with another few incidents--this time with Black beggars,  was a case study in self hatred among Black people.  The White man scored big among Black people.  Many, many Black hands were outstretched giving him entire dollar bills hand over fist, not wanting him to starve or do without decent shelter.  The White man probably worked in Center City or commuted to and from Wall Street in Manhattan.  He had those Black dollars all to himself and he was smiling and proud of his achievement.

We had been bamboozled again, but that is only half of the sorry equation.  The really sorry picture... There were two other incidents of public begging by Black men that didn't result in Black hands with outstretched dollars and change filling beggar's pockets....  This time the beggars were Black men and they had a similar story of woo--no money for food and shelter, can't you please help?  I never saw so many hands stay in pockets since I attended the ``Hands-Stay-in-Pockets Convention'' in Boston in 2015, last year. Not a single Black man or woman gave either of these begging BLACK Brothers a single dime--not a cent. Even though they said they had children and families to feed and even though they looked just as pitiful as the white dude who was begging on public transit as well...

It is the same story as with Wal Mart.  We, as Black people, fall all over ourselves to buy from Wal Mart, owned by the Walton Family, and we act like we have done something for ourselves and our families when we spend those dollars. {Believe me, if the Walton Family doesn't get another dollar form anywhere, they will have more than many Americans will ever see.}  We have done nothing but make another fat rich White conservative family wealthier and further empower them to discriminate against people of colour, women and most probably Gays and Lesbians as well.  We might have a bargain, but are we thinking about the poor South Korean, South American of African that was down right and unjustly exploited to make that $5. Dollar Shirt and those $15. Dollar shoes--no we have a bargain and we are making our way home with it.

What we don't realize is by further empowering a family such as the Waltons, we are further eroding our own rights as workers seeking a decent wage and further eroding our own right to make our own North American dreams come true. 

What we should be doing is finding a Black man or a Black woman who we can purchase that shirt from--even if we have to pay $10. because those dollars are crucial for our communities to grow and prosper financially... {I was also struck by how, during my South African trip, ALL the Big Stores in Modern Durban were owned by Whites and East Indians, Blacks had only a few corner fruit stands. While Nelson Mandela may have politically generated the right for one man, [or one woman] one vote, he apparently didn't get many economic rights and economic expansion for Black South Africans in the offing.}  The funny thing is that I heard right on the Melissa Perry Show on MSNBC that many Wal Mart workers in California have to depend on the public welfare system in that state to make ends meet because their wages are so low.  The tax payers get hit up for several million dollars in California and other states because the Waltons are such greedy North American Bastards that they won't pay each worker a minimum wage of about $35,000.00 a year.  The fact that Wal Mart made $16 Billion Dollars last year in profits hasn't gotten by me either.

But the real crime is that we as Black and other oppressed people support our own oppression by walking right up to the counter at Wal Mart and handing over our money and refusing to see that we are putting a knife in our own financial backs and turning it around every time we support exploitative stores with greedy store policies towards workers, no health benefits, no retirement benefits, etc.,  when we support a Wal Mart Store in our neighborhood.

Wal Mart has no vision whatsoever about how to create a better more sustainable world, environmentally improved out landscape, and create an atmosphere that relishes humanity over not-so-pure profits. A world with more progressive and livable-wage oriented store policies for Wal Mart will go a long way in creating such a more positive and user-friendly world....  Wal Mart Executives  are living in the proverbial Dark Ages.  We need to leave them right in those Dark Ages, alone and dollar less  and find somewhere else to shop.  At least Target gives back some 5% to community groups, NGO's and NON-Profits.  That would be a change and a start.  At least Target seems to have some sense that people need something to make subsistence level incomes stretch a bit by giving this support.  I haven't done the research, but I'm sure Target's wage structure isn't all that much better than Wal Mart, but it is a start.

Something even better is to buy the following books and get real with building Black Economic Empowerment on a REAL powerful, personal and local level. Suggested reading: {``Our Black Year: One Family's Quest to Buy Black in America's Racially Divided Economy,'' By Maggie Anderson; ``PowerNomics: The National Plan to Empower Black America,'' By Claud Anderson; ``Black Economic Empowerment: Create Your Own Plan to Build Great Wealth {Reklaw Education Lecture Series}'' By Robin Walker; and ``Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment,'' By Jawanza Kunjufu... I have only read one of these books myself, {``PowerNomics''} so I have my own homework to do as well.  It is time I turned off the TV as well and started...    Started to find out how to effectively support our own community stores and Black businesses in our community.  That is REALLY taking a step in the correct direction and it is a step that will have a lasting positive economic and social impact for many, many years to come. It will, if we have a positive spirit and attitude about it, even impact positively on our children's and grand children's futures...Turning Self Hatred into Black Economic Empowerment is a great thing indeed...

International Black Activist Arrested: my arrest and defense Trial Date: 11/28/2012


International Black Gay Activist Arrested: My Arrest… And What You Can Help Me DO About It…



By Brother Tracy Gibson…



If you thought it was safe and legal to sit in 30th Street Station for a few moments while you take a breather before you get on your way to the Public Library, you would be , apparently, sadly mistaken. This writer, international activist, businessman and scholar was arrested for ``defiant trespassing'' at Philadelphia's 30th Street Train Station after stating that I had no reason to buy a train ticket because I was on the way to the Public Library. I was just resting on my way to the library. {I often do this and had no problem before. I take a walk Down Town sometimes to help with weight loss and exercise, like our First Lady, Michelle Obama, wants us to do and has asked us to do more of...}



I was detained as the two officers in question {Am track Police Officer BUi Badge # 311 and Am track Police Officer Steckler Badge # 379} took me into custody. Officer BUi, who was small in stature and of Asian descent, took a harmless ink pen from me and broke it in half, destroying it as I attempted to take down their names and badge numbers. I was NEVER read any Miranda Rights, but was taken in a back Am track room and handcuffed at the ankle and at the back of my body at my hands. The citation says it was 9:25 A.M. on November 10, 2012 when I was arrested, but the clock said about 9:55 A.M., as far as I can remember.



I am to appear in court on November 13th, Tuesday, at 2 P.M. in Courtroom 404CJC; 1301 Filbert Street.

The trial is Wednesday November 28th, 2012 in Court Room B03 at 1301 Filbert Street.. at 11:30 A.M.



I was detained for an hour as the Officers did their paperwork--finding no prior arrest record. I was finally given a court date and released. I was escorted OUT of the 30th Street Train Station at the far left side of the 29th Street exit. I walked the rest of the Way to the Logan/Parkway Library at 21st and the Parkway.



The citation / complaint said I was sleeping in the station.



I will call my lawyer when I get home, and or e-mail Him or Her here on the Library computers. I would venture to guess that such arrests are made as part of the Patriot Act II that none of us want to take the time to look into and find out exactly what rights and civil liberties have been erased and or taken away from us with the passage of such laws. I do NOT want those officers to lose their jobs, but I will be taking on consideration of legal action against Am track....

Preparing a Defense:

I would like to engage A & Z Ahmad & Zaffarese, LLC for my defense at a cost of $5 Grand There phone number is 1.215.496.93.73.

AHMAD: 1.215.939.01.63; FAX: {FOR LETTERS OF SUPPORT} 1.215.496.94.19.......



THIS STATEMENT WILL BE SENT TO THE naacp LEGAL DEFENSE FUND.....OTHER ACTIVISTS, BLACK AND WHITE, AND MY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN {Re. Chaka Fattah; Senator Robert Casy}...



defense:



1} Please see charges on Citation.

2} There are no visible signs saying 30th Street Station is NOT a Public Place as the Am Track Officers said.

3} I was told it was NOT a Public Place and that I had to MOVE on.

4} I fell asleep for about one minute.

5} I had no money to make a purchase at the Officers had required.

6} What about People who have no money, As I didn’t that Day {Nov. 10th} This is Blatant Discrimination

Against the poor and the homeless.

7} I am an advocate for better and proper education for Poor, Black and Latin children and people.

8} I am also a human Rights Advocate.

9} I am an active social activist; wRiter; and promoter {I had an event coming up on the 26th of December that now has to be moved to March 23rd.

11} I also have a Transpass for the month of November that I had on me when I was arrested. {Which is good to use for many Am Track trains especially the regional rail lines and the train to the Airport.}

12} I was NEVER read my Miranda Rights when I was arrested.

13} Please see the story I wrote {above} about my arrest.

14} If there are any excess funds left over from my defense, they will be used for my activism projects, which includes my advocacy of Gay marriage and other Gay rights as well as advocating for HIV Positive people. If you don’t want to support any of these issues PLEASE DO NOT FINANCIALLY SUPPORT MY LEGAL DEFENSE!!

A open Letter to the World About Oil Prices,Middle East Peace and The Progressive Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East...

September 9th, 2013 [Monday]

An Open Letter to the World
From: Brother Tracy Gibson - Writer - Activist - Businessman -
Fundraiser - Journalist - Visionary--Peace Maker- Philanthropist....

RE: What to do About Raising Oil Prices And Peace in the Middle East... Join The Progressive  Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East!!!

1] We should be making friends with the Palestinian People [not just the Jews] because
they are held dear to the hearts of the Arab World because of the
discrimination and hardships they faced since the creation of the
State of Israel in 1948. This will bring more fairness in our policies
in the Middle East and help us be perceived as a Peace-Maker instead
of a One-Sided ally of Israel's.
2] Our relationship with Israel needs to fundamentally change. We
give them $4 Billion Dollars a year and Jewish Americans must legally
hand over about another $10 Billion Dollars. Yet, Frightfully, this
large sum of cash still isn't enough to buy lasting Peace and
stability in the region. In fact there is more stress and strife in
the Middle East now than there ever was.
3] We need to stop the gun-boat diplomacy of bombing the Taliban in
Yemen, Somalia, Syria, other parts of the Middle East and Africa and Pakistan. Our drone missiles have been proven to take the
lives of many women and children. This is unacceptable to the
American public [ at least to those who realize this is going on and
are paying attention.
4] We, as North American businessmen, the North American public, those concerned about the high and unacceptable prices of oil for our cars, industry and our homes, we should be advocating for lower oil prices.  We need to not only address our Federal Government about this, but also the leaders of the Middle East.  It Will be a Big advantage for the North American public to get cheaper oil prices.  This Will help stimulate a vibrant and complete turn around in the U.S. economy.  This turn around is exactly what we have been working towards and what we want.  This can be determined and realized by our diplomats being more open to talking to and delivering more rights and considerations to the Palestinian People and making sure a resolution can be reached among the people in the Middle East as far as the age ole Israeli and Palestinian conflict is concerned. [See related data on my blog about the formation of The Progressive Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East.].   

5] We need to not only join The Progressive Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East, but we need to read up on the Middle East through reading such publications such as Mother Jones; The Nation Magazine; The New York Times; Time Magazine; The Crisis; The Final Call; and the Progressive Magazine to name a few.  We should also be watching ``Democracy Now,'' instead of just watching the regular news on the major commercial networks and cable TV.  This will help us determine and move towards better outcomes in the Middle East as regards to how our own economy is impacted. Frankly, we need to turn off the TV and the football games and read.  I don't think the Eagles and the Red Skins are going to write us a check after the game is over.  We get all excited during a football game, but we aren't getting any more educated or informed and our pocket books and wallets aren't getting any fatter.  We continue to be a stubborn, unconcerned and uneducated public--this needs to change as soon as possible. 

Peace,

Brother Tracy Gibson...
