  1. Dude, are you born and raised in America, and/or did you or your parents voluntarily migrate to America? I'm only asking because you don't seem to understand that some people in America, namely the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) don't have now, nor have they ever had this power you speak of in America; and its by design. Let me help you understand somethings. Let's see, ADOS history in America begins in slavery, involuntary, chattel servitude for 246 years (1619-1865); No power there. Then the next 100 years (1865 – 1965) is spent under Jim Crow 1.0, which included, but was not limited to lynching, murdering, burning, maiming, raping, terrorizing, convict leasing, peonage, medical experimentation, economic exclusion from wealth building and the new deal benefits including GI bill, housing, land grants, education, etc., joblessness, lack of quality education, police brutality, killing and injustice, redlining, economic, political and social sabotage, segregation, exclusion from voting and political power via terrorism and anti-black policies, etc. No power here either. Around 1964 MLK achieved the Civil Rights Act; which was countered by the Immigration Act of 65 and Jim Crow 2.0 (1965 – 2019, 54 years) including but not limited to assassination of leaders, school to prison pipeline and criminalizing ADOS men specifically, planting drugs and guns in ADOS communities (Iran/Contra affairs) to encourage lawlessness and self-destructive behavior which lead to mass incarceration and warehousing ADOS men, welfare and unfair child care laws that unjustly incarcerated ADOS men, social engineering for self hatred, lack of quality education, continuous and deliberate high unemployment, lack of quality, affordable health care, economic exclusion from business development and wealth building opportunities, continual redlining and creation and maintenance of ghettos, voter suppression, food deserts, police shootings, violence and injustice, destruction of ADOS families. etc. The list goes on and on. There have been multiple protests, similar to the protests going on right now, and there may be some token changes made in society (like increase Affirmative Action for people of color, which usually doesn't benefit ADOS, removal of confederate statues, public apologies from some whites, talk of doing things differently, etc.); but nothing transformational like reparations and a black agenda to undo anti-black racism policies and abolish the racial wealth gap; which grows and persist as part of the on-going economic exclusion and sabotage of ADOS. So no power here and now.
    I just wanted to help you understand that not everyone came to America willingly; and not everyone has this power of choice that you speak of; because they are too busy surviving the daily sabotage and keeping their heads above the water of life in America. Read, listen and learn more at ados101.com. Shalom!

  2. The simple truth about power: Power should never be entrusted to anyone who seeks it. We knew this all the way back in the golden age of the Athenian hegemony. This includes everyone: both the golden boy of the right-wing nuts, and the wanna-be populists who take a mike at a protest. Power should never be entrusted to anyone who seeks it: for any reason. Power should only be given to a person who doesn't want it and has been found to be the best person for the job. This is why we should turn from our psuedo-republic, which is really a plutocratic kleptocracy to a neoconfusian meritocracy where all positions of power are temporarily held by those found most adequate by means of testing and virtual scenarios devised by scientists and voted on by the populace. The populace would not vote for people but for the various tests devised to select the office holders. I am aware of the objections some would have to this but they are nothing that cannot be resolved by technical means, such as the top scorers being tested further in secure conditions. These tests would be mandatory for every citizen at regular intervals, and whoever scores highest would assume the position they tested for during the next regular government upgrade. This would be superior in every respect to the plutocratic kleptocracy we are now enslaved by. And all forms of cheating could be easily overcome by technical means.

  3. Since our votes at the polling places no longer count we WILL be empowered by consciously directing our attention, minute by minute. Thank you!

  4. Tunde do you have Yoruba (Nigeria) roots, just asking caus your name is very common there, my bros name is Babatunde and we call him Tunde

  5. Thumbs up if you watched School House Rock back in the days… I’m just a Bill on Capital Hill 🤣

  6. America Was created as a representative Republic.
    There is a mighty hand at work that's not easley understood. We all are at the beginning of a world revolution. The problems are intelligently articulated quite easily but where are the solutions in a outline form on paper for all to see? Change begins in each one of us for a change in a system to benefit all. CITIZENS OF EARTH UNITE. We are all derelict in our citizenship to allow this most egregious criminally insensitive self serving Leadership in our world to exist. It all starts here in a "National Authentication Uniformity Voting Act". Where all 50 States use a paper ballot that can be filled out in advance. Put in a scanner complete details available upon request. This is the most important policy to rally everyone together and that we inadvertantly deny ourselves and currently we cannot verify our votes are counted accurately and that we aren't being cheated. Until we can fix this, most else will be futile. Evil always wins when good people passively remain subjugated and do nothing.

    I dream of the day that all people everywhere live with all personal needs meet, have dignity with fulfilling work, security, purpose, love and happiness and all nations can be at peace with one another. There is not a lack of human ingenuity or natural resources there is only a lack of understanding and the collective political will to follow through. Ultimately A world wide cultural shift of solidarity in a compassionate movement for all humanity. "We the people out of many one" can only do what despot authoritarian oligarchy Governments will never do. Thinking outside the box adding some pizzazz a little razzmatazz, razzle dazzle our world in brotherhood. The folks that are  financially able and in a position that can MUST STEP UP.  Having several concerts/rallies through the universal language of music for "World Peace, Love, Hope and Change our Earth in Crisis". Climate catastrophe is knocking down our door and NO MORE Needless WAR!!!!!!!! How unifying speaking truth to power globally this would be. UNITED together we all shall overcome hate, injustice and inequality and the universe will sing with Joy. Music is to the spirit what words are to the mind. Chaos and confusion, Babylon is falling, falling that system will pass away. https://youtu.be/eNQTZ_lxLXs

    I'm not a Democrat or a Republican I'm just a plain ol citizen on this planet we call home willing to sacrifice for the good of others and to fight the good fight for positive change for all.

    A new day, a better way TRUTH where objectives are clear and concise. You don't necessarily need a leader you just need mass participation for the greater good. We the 99% with Awakening Consciousness rising up to the most important fact, that our power lies in our numbers and the 1% world wide see the hand writing on the wall and know if they aren't willing to relent from their greedy political/corporate vulture capitalism then the masses who have been brutalized and systematically cheated for so long can come in and take it all away from them and correct the balance sheets so skewed towards inequality and injustice. We as a global community, a nation, a culture must understand where we have come from to be clear eyed to know where we all are going. The past is written unto history, the present is a gift of life and the future change is in our hands. There are 2 kinds of people in this world ones that take action and everybody else. Talk is cheap and now it's time to walk the talk. "WE  THE PEOPLE."  Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL.
