Nelson Mandela’s Poetic Biography:
Best Quotes, Leadership Academy and Freedom Struggle
Foreword:
As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by freedom fighters and human rights activists. They are men and women who seek to redress the wrongs of their societies. I am talking about men such as the various African kings who fought hard to turn back the tides of slavery and occupation of their homeland, Abraham Lincoln who fought to keep the Union intact and ultimately emancipate the American slaves, Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Alexandre Petion, Henri Christophe, Jean Francois Biassou and many others who fought to liberate St. Domingue (Santo Domingo) and create the first black republic in the world, Haiti, Martin Luther King Jr. Rosa Parks, and countless others who fought in the Civil Rights Movement. The list of those who sacrificed their lives, possessions, and families for the freedom of the People, their people and complete strangers, is very long.

Nelson Mandela follows in the footsteps of all those heroes. He knew that South Africa could treat her sons and daughters better. He also knew that there were many other men and women from all ethnic and racial backgrounds who were feeling oppressed by the nationalist agenda. If the majority was not free, the minority was not either. Finding time and devising ways to redress the wrongs and indignities directed to the dark-skinned members of the society would have to take place over time. Little did he then know that the personal cost of his commitment would be very high and arduous!

Nelson Mandela knew that he had to give up everything to launch himself into the Freedom Struggle. He figuratively became a sacrificial lamb for the cause. Many others stopped bullets with their own skin and body only to depart the struggle at a very young and promising age. The non-violent revolution was not fought without bloodshed orchestrated by the apartheid regime. Wrongful accusations and imprisonments were common. And Nelson Mandela and many of his comrades would spend more than 27 years in prison. Many South Africans and sympathizers all over the world were also suffering along with the convicted ANC members. After all, if one was in jail, all were in jail. With hammers, they crushed stones. They were sent to the lime quarry. Their determination to the cause could not be crushed despite the forced labor they endured. Despite the situation, they managed to study and educate themselves at the Robben Island University (the prison).

In this booklet, you will read about the true measures and characters of men and women who survived the most brutal attacks against their persona but who coped and ended up surviving only to finally triumph. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity. The warders as well as the prisoners were not free. So many times, the warders had to defer to Nelson Mandela and his group in many areas.

Waves of the Human Microphone, a book of poetry on Occupy Wall Street March for Economic Freedom

Purchase a PDF copy of "The Wall Street's Human Microphone Waves" Poetry and Song Lyrics Book for $5.00 now


=================
Here is a sample of this poetry book:

This poem was written by the author of "...Soaring on Wings Like Eagles..," "Freedom Rides to sweet Magnolia..,"

A Dream Deferred
Debt is slavery!
Its yoke the 99% is ready to break once for all
People not Profits! Down with Corporate Greed!
Remember the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP)!
Listen to the voice of the people on the streets
Why have you refused to help us
It is your turn to step up to the plate
Bankers, pay back your debt to the tax payers
And to the millions of families who do not want to be foreclosed on
Homelessness is inhumane
Joblessness can lead to all kinds of vices and temptations
Let us reclaim our voice and ‘hood from Wall Street to Detroit,
From the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to India
These hill-side shantytowns are no better than the ghettos
Of Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago
The wilderness is reclaiming the land; inhabitants are fleeing the physical degradation
They are making their last stand against economic injustice
The 99% has had enough. Main Street is asking Wall Street to repay its debts
Who is out there to listen to their cry of agony and humiliation?
We are getting on the economic freedom rides
Help us get free from debt, foreclosure. Give hope to our young and educated children
Help us! Help! Help! We are drowning in the filth on the streets!
Won’t you come down from your highrise to witness the misery we are vegetating in?
We are cold and hungry. Do not let the human voice¸ the human microphone disappear

Dumb Cheaters with Smartphones: "Top Secret Sexual Guidance and Fertility Tips for Married Couples, Divorced Parents, and Singles: One Hundred Sexual Twists and Turns and Decoding Sex Dreams'

(Click on the above title of this post to see the book!

Purchase a copy of "Top Secret Sexual Guidance and Fertility Tips for Married Couples, Divorced Parents...and Decoding Sex Dreams


You can buy a copy of this book 'Top Secret Sexual Guidance and Fertility Tips for Married Couples, Divorced Parents, and Singles: One Hundred Sexual Twists and Turns and Decoding Intense Sex Dreams' at Barnes and Noble as a Nook book.

This is a hot book, sort of a la Zane erotica series, but the only difference is that it is a book of poems, reviews, and short essays on important subjects and topics ranging from dating, mail brides, lonely American and Canadian men and women, falling in love after divorce, the dos and dont's of dating, the new dating scene, whether it is appropriate to hire a dating coach, where to go to meet single parents, the lows of divorce court and fighting, bellicose ex-lovers, infidelity, dumb cheating with smartphones, fertility issues, getting caught sexting while married or in a relationship, narcissism to social media preaching and building instant gratification and a me-generation etc.

Ruth Anne Lovemore and Christopher Luis Charlemagne have done a good job addressing the above mentioned topics and much more in this new book. Using their combined fields of work, psychology, psychiatry, therapy, ABS or behavior management, these two authors got tired of listening to the stories of their close friends and family members who had to go through divorce, separation and heartache. They did not know whom to believe and whose story to pay attention to. Do the spouses ever tell the truth? What is the truth in these cases. The husband has his own side. So does the wife who complains about every single point he makes. So the authors have decided to help them decipher and come to terms with the various facts of their particular cases and move on with their shattered lives. Miss Lovemore and Mr. Charlemagne present and synthesize real stories of real people who want to seek love in the wrong places and from the wrong kind of people.

The authors write about subjects such as how to make a baby, fertility issues, natural fruits and foods that boost sexual drive and may lead to pregnancy. They also show the importance of prayers and connectedness in their quest and pregnancy adventures.

This is a great read for anybody who has ever fallen in love, gotten out of love, or is thinking about dating again or getting married some day.

You will learn things that are not taught in college, business schools and universities. The authors themselves do not rely solely on their Western or pedagogic, didactic knowledge to write this book and make their recommendations. They use the school of hard knocks too.

You can buy a copy of this book 'Top Secret Sexual Guidance and Fertility Tips for Married Couples, Divorced Parents, and Singles: One Hundred Sexual Twists and Turns and Decoding Intense Sex Dreams' at Barnes and Noble as a Nook book.

...Excerpt from the Booklet of Poetry:



1961: Shaking The Status Quo
by J. J. Charles, writer/author


Welcome to the Camelot era. Indeed, a new president may bring in much needed change
JFK brings in a new way of looking at things: ensues a general period of malaise and upheaval!
The fruits of freedom that this country promised to her citizens are not enjoyed by all
Huge as well as small winds of change start blowing. To many, the Deep South is out of range
The images of separation, abuse, and daily torment are engraved in the minds of little boys and girls
Parents are fearful of letting their children go on to this mean world that does not spare the weak
The idea is to test and challenge the segregated travel facilities of the South through twist and twirls
Putting an end to Jim Crow that forced black people to use separate water fountains, public restrooms,
Waiting rooms, and back seats is not decided on a whim. Oh well, better to become change freak!
Aboard and onward we go! After all, such inhumane practices were abolished in courtrooms!
Soon the evidence of travels from Washington, D.C. through Charlotte, Columbia, Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham, Nashville, Memphis, Jackson and New Orleans shows it is easier to put a man into space
Than to change attitudes, customs, end Jim Crow and discrimination among the human race
Less courageous friends and parents cry as they witness the sacrifice of the freedom riders going merry



Freedom Rides: Why I Got on The Bus (Poetry Booklet)


Delivery of the booklet PDF is by Email









"Singing sustains and energizes us through danger and fear. Through long days and longer nights; through cold, hard winters; and hot, fierce summers, "freedom songs" nurture us, protect us, and keep us sane. They are the expression of our ideology, and the songs we sing together are the pledge of trust and committment that we make to each other."

"Decoded" is Jay-Z's New Book: A Mixture of Memoir, Music History and Social Commentary

Jay-Z is not trading on his name. He is trading on the substance of his work. That is what the multimillionaire music impressario wants you to know about him. He wants you to know him by his body of works. That is the way it should be. Keep in mind that this 40-year business phenom has made all the right moves when he makes some of the most brilliant music or business deals.

What do we know about this man? We know he has friends in higher places. He has the ears of Warren Buffet and Microsoft's Bill Gates who is willing to spend beaucoup money pitching his new book, "Decoded." However, the Brooklyn-born performer was not always rolling in dough. His beginnings were humble but he quickly realized that he could leave the Brooklyn housing project and do better for himself and some of his friends. He had to make choices. As he writes in his 336-page book which is partly a remake of his song lyrics. "No lie, just know I chose my own fate / I drove by the fork in the road and went traight..." In "Renegade," he writes, "I went startight - stopped selling drugs - but I also didn't accept the false choice between poverty and breaking the law."

With $450 million to his war chest, Jay-Z has been featured in Forbes Magazine's 400 "Richest People in America." He has been no 1 on the billboard so many times. He has won 10 Grammy awards and sold millions of albums. Jay-Z has some great business ventures such as the New Jersey Nets, 40/40 club, a sports bar-chain, a Greenwich village bistro named the Spotted Pig, creative and operational control of Rocawear clothing line etc.

Kitty Kelley's New Book, 'Oprah: A Biography' Shows Closet Skeleton, Paints Sordid Episodes in Oprah's Recent Past: Once in Love with John Tesh...etc


Oprah does not kiss and tell. Who does not like this kind of privacy in a woman? She is a classy lady for that! She never revealed this kind of info before. She never revealed that she had a relationship with John Tesh....




Does Oprah's aunt reveal to Kitty Kelley the identity of her father? For this reason only, Oprah should have talked to her. Maybe she is not interested in finding her birth father.




Promoting her new book will not be easy for Kitty Kelley as Oprah's friends in the media are closing doors on her nose. So far, Kitty Kelley is complaining about her unsuccessful efforts to market this unauthorized biography of one of the most powerful and richest women in the world. Well, Oprah did not want to talk to her for this new biography. Kitty was determined to reveal the sleeping skeleton that she thought she could find in her closet. Thus far, a lot of people have been talking about Oprah's past flame, her cub co-reporter, John Tesh, who is also very popular in the talk show world.

OK, what does the book reveal that most of us did not know about Oprah? We all know that Oprah likes controlling her image and the products she delivers. Her employees have to sign a non-disclosure clause. Well, it kind of makes sense considering that her show has been number one for a lot of years.

Here is what the book is causing people, readers to talk about or discuss:

On CBS News, we can read the following, "n unauthorized biography, "Oprah: A Biography," which will be released on Tuesday, Kelley paints a picture of some sordid episodes in Winfrey's past...."

"....Winfrey has already revealed that she was sexual molested and pregnant by the time she was 14 and that the newborn died in birth. Kelly reportedly says there's more to the story. "This book goes into much more detail. This book names the little boy that she gave birth to, presents the birth certificate and tries to show how these secrets, these awful secrets, controlled Oprah for most of her life," Kelley told the The New York Times. In her book, Kelley also details Winfrey's 1970s romance with former "Entertainment Tonight" and radio talk show host, John Tesh. ..."

The book reveals this much. John Tesh bolted out of the home they shared together in the middle of the night. This is an interesting observation considering that they were living in Tennessee, the big South in those days. Who knows why he ran out of their home like this? Oprah was young and full of life at the time!

In the New York Times's first question to Kitty Kelley, Deborah Solomon presents Oprah as a manipulator, "The book presents her as a cold manipulator who requires everyone around her to sign confidentiality agreements. ..."

Kitty Kelley responds that Oprah is very secretive even when she knows that there are so many secrets out there.

Kitty Kelley wants to make us understand that her book goes into much detail about Oprah's life even though the queen of talk show has already revealed some of her hard life's stories.

Kitty Kelley's interview about her book reveals that Oprah's mother, Vernita Lee, lives a very comfortable life, chauffer-driven everywhere in Milwaukee. However, the mother does not have her phone number and can not contact here directly. Well, there may be many reasons for that omission.

Kitty reveals that Oprah is very restrictive or even more restrictive than Frank Sinatra and Nancy Reagan. Here is how some media moguls do not want in Oprah's croos hair. "we have already been told by Barbara Walters’s producer, No, you cannot be on “The View,” I cannot disrupt my relationship with Oprah. Joy Behar, the same thing. Charlie Rose; Larry King said, I will not do it, it might upset Oprah. Even David Letterman."


Oprah is still connected with Stedman Graham. Her best friend is Gayle King

Other revelations of the book are, (according to Eonline.com):

The book isn't going to do anything to stop those gay rumors. "I know people are expecting me to 'out' her," Kelley told USA Today. "But I think she's just asexual. She's poured all of her energies into her career. And if she is, she is never ever, ever going to come out. So relax, people." Of course, that didn't stop her from liberally quoting Rosie O'Donnell on the Howard Stern Show last year musing that Oprah and BFF Gayle King are "the emotional equivalent of a gay couple," or author Erica Jong's remark that she "would not be surprised if Oprah is gay."

• She has a secret birth father. Kelley has described Winfrey's life as being "choked with secrets," the biggest one of which is her not knowing who her birth father is. Kelley spent three days in Mississippi with Winfrey's aunt, Katharine Esters, who told Kelley the identity of Winfrey's real father but swore the author to secrecy. Kelley did not divulge the information in the book, because she said Winfrey's mother has yet to share that information with her famous daughter. (Of course, as Esters is still holding a grudge against Winfrey for failing to promote her own memoir and harbors long-held "disagreements over the family's history," she may not be the most unbiased source out there.)

• Oprah might want to have her lawyers take another look at those confidentiality agreements. Kelley interviewed roughly 850 sources for the book, most of whom are "present or former employees," whom Kelley said had to remain anonymous "because they signed binding confidentiality agreements." Well, clearly not that binding. She also managed to score an interview with Oprah's father, Vernon Winfrey, who let rip the following sound bite-ready quotes: "I need her show like a hog needs a holiday." And! "She may be admired by the world, but I know the truth. So does God and so does Oprah. Two of us remain ashamed." With fathers like that, who needs alleged birth parents?
