Since must at all times try to stay grounded in reality in this most dangerous of worlds, we must be careful not to misplaces our fears, especially after being told some time ago that the only thing to fear is fear itself. But for the fearful in this nuclear age, should we not ask who might possibly be Rocket Man #1 and #2? Thinking logically, Rocket Man #1 would be the man with the most rockets! And even though we might declare Rocket Man #2 is the man currently testing his rockets, we must yet ask who is the man that has used his rockets (atomic bombs) in the past? Rocket man #1 or Rocket man #2? Of course it is Rocket Man #1, again, the man with the most rockets. Now we must ask why does Rocket Man #2 needs rockets? Perhaps it is for self defense since we know he is still technically at war with Rocket Man #1. Is is not common sense for #2 to secure rockets since #1 has proven in the past that he is quite willing to send rockets to people similar to #2. Now as per the ability of #2 to acquire rockets for his self defense since #1 is known to utilize his rockets, thus the need to have a level playing field, certainly, we would expect #2 to call upon his neighbor who is known as the inventor of rockets and fire crackers, would we not? Furthermore, would it not be logical for the neighbor to assist #2 in order to keep a buffer zone on his border to keep Rocket Man #1 at length, since #1 is constantly encroaching at every turn? Clearly, we should suspect that Rocket Man #2 and his neighbor might just be in a conspiracy, in this world full of conspiracies. Further, how many millions of people did North Korean lose in the Korean War? Shouldn't they by determined to exercise self defense after enduring transgressions and occupation by the Japanese and others? Are not half their population under US occupation at this hour? Wouldn't you be a little paranoid based on history, even though paranoia is when you imagine things, not when things have happened in the past and are likely to occur in the future if one is not prepared to prevent such, as the Boy Scout's teach: be prepared!
As per North American Africans, concerned about Rocket Man #2, we suggest they take a chill pill. If we know the history of the 1960s, North Korea was our friend, not foe. NK gave support and refuge to member of the Black Panther Party. Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver celebrated the #1st birthday party of their son, Maceo Ahmed Eldridge Cleaver at a party given by Rocket Man #2's grandmother, Madam Kim Ill Sung, and the Cleaver's daughter was born in NK and named Joju by Madam Kim, thus we need not fear NK but do as I have suggested, send a peace delegation of progressive black women to talk with Rocket Man #2, for our sake and the sake of the world. We have no need for a nuclear Holocaust, surely you agree this must be prevented by any means necessary.
Peace delegation in North Vietnam meeting with General Giap, who defeated the Americans. North American Africans have friends around the world if you only knew. Stop thinking the USA is your friend when it has never, ever revealed itself to be such. It is not even a friend to itself. Ask the Native Americas is the US their friend. Whom did they say speaks with a forked tongued? Those who worship the devil shall go down with the devil! What book told you this, so called Negro, North American African, Aboriginal Asiatic Black man and woman?
As per Rocket Man #1, I don't know to whom he needs to speak with. He is surrounded by generals that we know abhor war. I don't know who can speak with #1 better than his generals. Are they not already engaged in enough wars around the world, too many to mention?
For myself, born in 1944, I have surely had enough of war: WWII, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, et al. Imagine, in spite of these wars, more people die from drinking toxic war, breathing poison air, eating food contaminated with pesticides, fertilizers and dyes. Can you believe the toxic waste of developed countries is dumped in the underdeveloped nations because they need the funds?
What if the nearly trillion dollar US military budget was redirected to organic food, water and clean air; education devoid of white supremacy mythology and youth given what the US promised youth in Iraq and Afghanistan if they laid down their arms and pledged allegiance to the constitutions of their nations: jobs, education and housing? Maybe our youth in the hoods and those incarcerated, upon release would indeed stand tall, salute the flag and pledge allegiance to the US Constitution.
