Black inferiority explained
Michael
A. Dingwall (michael_a_dingwall@hotmail.com)
From time to time, I have been discussing the question of why is it that we black people are inferior to other races. Though some (or even most) of us would want to deny it, the facts are very obvious. Whether we want to admit it or not, we black people are clearly inferior to others at this point in time and indeed, for as long as we are aware of. We only seem able to excel in areas where very little intellectual ability is required - in entertainment activities like the arts, sports and church activities. In areas like the sciences and technological innovations, for example, we are non-existent. Now, however, the reason seems clear.

The blackman’s intellectual inferiority is clearly demonstrated in his misplaced priorities |
When one looks at where we are coming from - in sub-Saharan Africa, compared to where the more advanced races are coming from - in Europe and Asia, it would appear that our environment have played a very major role in determining our intellectual abilities. In Sub-Saharan Africa, our ancestors really only had one season to deal with - summer. This is the season that is most suitable for food to grow. There were no extremities in the climate that necessitated change for our ancient ancestors many thousands of years ago. This is very important, as we will soon see.

| America and The Caribbean
Ewin James (EROYJAMES@aol.com)
You don’t have to believe Mr. Butch Stewart’s allegation that the United States Congress’s vote to amend the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative in favor of Mexico, Canada and Cruise Shipping Companies, over airline passengers from the Caribbean, is retaliation for the Caribbean’s embrace of Hugo Chavez. But you can’t deny that the relationship between America and the Caribbean is changing, and that for the worse for the Caribbean; the amendment, whether being implemented out of spite, or the need to fight terrorism not withstanding.
In 2000, The United States imposed a 100 percent tariff on luxury goods it was importing through the European Union; this was it claimed in compensation for trade its banana producing companies had lost, due to the preference the EU gave to Caribbean banana exporters. The effects have been disastrous. Countries such as Dominica, which depended almost solely on bananas, have been virtually ruined. "It has had an impact in the Caribbean, in terms of jobs, in terms of their governments ability to deliver, essential services, and even the training of people who have been displaced as a result of the situation with the banana industry, Luther Perry, a spokesman for the Caribbean community in Central Florida, told me in an interview, shortly after the ruling.

| Pragmatism Vs. Populism in South America
Joen Kellberg (coha@coha.org)
The reemergence of populism and the intriguing if possibly brief half-life of the left-leaning “pink tide” movement in South America have facilitated a somewhat misleading perception that the continent as a whole is headed towards an era of leftist, anti-U.S. policies. While the hostility between Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and the Bush administration reached a new high at the 61st UN General Assembly session, most of the other South American nations have taken a decidedly more pragmatic stance with regards to Washington, essentially sitting out the spat now taking place around them. In fact, the majority of South American leaders often play both sides - cooperating with left-leaning Latin American stalwarts while accommodating themselves, at important junctions, to U.S. priorities. Thus the challenges posed by Hugo Chávez and often Evo Morales could represent the exception rather than the norm.
Pragmatism Rides Shotgun
Although the rhetoric exchanged between Washington and some of its southern neighbors is at times heated and ideologically fueled, the more vested permanent interests of both sides - often dominated by trade - almost always outweigh the deep ideological disconformities so well exemplified by Washington and Caracas’ exchange of invective. The populist movements in Bolivia, Venezuela and potentially Ecuador - if Rafael Correa is elected president - are certainly significant to South America’s political map, but the growing conception of a united continent out to sever all ties with Washington is at best oversimplified, and at worst heavily distorted. Inter-state conflicts within South America, such as the ongoing disputes between Uruguay and Argentina, Chile and Peru, and Chile and Bolivia amongst others only begin to reveal an insight into the
relatively low flame behind the diplomatic tensions throughout the region which are overwhelmed by the much more important impact of trade and development ties. These obstacles outweigh prevailing leftist dogma and the cohesion necessary to facilitate a concomitant split with the U.S.

| Vision Energy Group, Inc. prepares to purchase bio-diesel production unit in Mississippi
Basil Scott (clmic@adelpia.com)
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vision Energy Group, Inc. advises they have retained a leading industry exponent to inspect this bio-diesel production facility, which has a capacity of 60,000 gallons per day. The plant has been producing only 20,000 gallons per day but can be increased by applying an increase in working capital. Subject to their Consultant's final report being favorable, Vision Energy Group plans to make an offer to purchase and take over this operation as soon as possible.
Investigations carried out over the past six weeks have given positive indications overall.
Vision Energy Corp. offers an efficient, patented technology to generate electricity at substantial savings by using the wasted energy dissipated when high pressure gas pipelines are let down in pressure for local consumption. Up to 70% of electricity generated when using this system is produced without combustion of any fossil fuel and therefore no harmful atmospheric emissions. Thermal efficiency can exceed 100% by taking advantage of both let down energy and primary turbine waste heat (exhaust).
The FBI first put out an alert on Gadahn in 2004, saying he was "being sought in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States," although the agency said it had "no information indicating this individual is connected to any specific terrorist activities."

| Representing the people
Patrick Rowe (patd1rowe@hotmail.com)
There was a demonstration. The people were gathered at the edge of an awful precipice where more than half of the road once was. Written on most of the placards was the phrase ‘we want roads’, ‘we want roads’, ‘we want roads’. And there was only one man with a placard that said ‘we want work’. At first he seemed out of place, but the reporter decided to interview him. ‘Why is your placard demanding work at this time?” the reporter asked. The demonstrator explained, “If I had a job, the government would get more taxes and my road would have been fixed”. And the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) saw the wisdom of this demonstrator, and everywhere the people suffered and demonstrated, the JLP sent ten “workers” with placards with the phrase “we want work”. And Jamaicans finally came to the understanding that economic growth is the way forward, not a bag-o-mouth (public relations).
What are the plans the JLP have for growing the economy? I would love to know.
I went to St. Thomas recently at a place known as “Spring Gardens”, and saw some concrete utility poles leaning at some very dangerous angles. Some of these poles are going to fall at the same time since one is going to pull down the other. I am sure some people will die. In England the MP normally ensures that the people in his/her constituents’ interests are protected as much as possible. Who and where is the MP for that area in St Thomas. I am begging him not to wait until somebody dies, then go to take pictures with the mourners seeking political mileage. Political representation is easier than we are making it out to be. A lot of the peoples’ interests don’t cost money.
