The Danger of Vaccinations?

Father Jailed For Life Without Parole After His 12 Week-Old Daughter Died After Receiving 8 Vaccinations!
PictureMr. John Sanders and his 12 week-old baby daughter, Ja’Nayjah
On January 15, 2014, Mr. John Sanders was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the murder of his 12 week-old baby daughter, Ja’Nayjah, who died just 24 days after receiving eight vaccinations in one day.

Ja’Nayjah Sanders was born a healthy, normal baby and received routine vaccinations, along with her mother, Marrie, before leaving the hospital. Two days later, at a routine checkup, the doctor told Marrie that her daughter had lost a couple of pounds since her birth and asked her to bring the baby back the next day for tests.

However, believing that her daughter was fine, Marrie decided to ignore the doctor’s advice and wait until her next scheduled appointment, when Ja’Nayjah was scheduled to receive her routine vaccinations.


A Tragic Vaccine Injury
This is a decision Marrie now bitterly regrets, because shortly before her appointment was due, Ja’Nayjah’s health began to deteriorate and she began vomiting continuously. As Marrie was worried about her daughter’s condition, she mentioned this to the doctor at the baby’s appointment.

However, the doctor appeared unconcerned and told Marrie that Ja’Nayjah was probably ‘eating too much.’ Instead of checking the baby over thoroughly, as one would expect, the doctor proceeded to ignore the warning signs that something could be very wrong regarding the health of this child and instead vaccinated the sick baby with the eight vaccinations listed on her vaccination card. These were the triple vaccine, the DTaP; polio; Rotavirus; hepatitis B, meningitis; and the Hib vaccination.

Marrie told VacTruth:

“After Ja’Nayjah came home from receiving her shots, she just wasn’t the same baby anymore. Before, she was this cheerful, happy baby, but after, she just changed and wasn’t as bright and cheerful as she once was. She started wheezing, was congested and was still throwing up. And when she cried, she would scream an unusual scream, almost as [if] she [were] screaming in pain. After her shots, her dad bought some infant Tylenol, which I would give her twice a day.”

However, once again, Marrie decided that she would not bother the doctor because he had told her that babies often become unwell after vaccinations.

This is a myth told to mothers on a daily basis regarding vaccinations, and in my opinion, could not be further from the truth. It stands to reason that if vaccinations were good for a child’s health, they would not cause a healthy baby to become feverish, develop rashes and have fits.

Due to a recent separation from her partner, Marrie decided to visit John with Ja’Nayjah a few weeks later.

Marrie picks up the story:

“The night before we went to see John, Ja’Nayjah was very fussy and was acting irritated. I eventually fed her a bottle and she went to sleep. I woke up the next morning, left Ja’Nayjah, and left her with John. Within an hour of me leaving, I received a text message from John saying the baby stopped breathing and that he was at the hospital. I called him and he told me that she woke up screaming, and when he was in the kitchen making her a bottle, she stopped screaming, and when he returned, she was unresponsive.

When I made it to the hospital, she was unconscious, and after about a hour of being there, we had to be transported to a different hospital where she had the CT Scan and the doctor told me that she looked as if she had been shaken because of the bleeding on her brain. I phoned John, asked him why he shook my baby, and he said that he didn’t.

While at the hospital, she had to have emergency brain surgery and blood transfusions. She died in my arms after spending about 12 hours in the hospital.”

Marrie says that she absolutely believes that John did not shake Ja’Nayjah and that her daughter only became ill after receiving her routine vaccinations. However, despite this fact, John was immediately arrested for killing 12 week-old Ja’Nayjah.

He has since been jailed for life without parole for her murder.

What Did Kill Baby Ja’Nayjah? So, was John responsible for Ja’Nayjah’s death, or did she suffer a severe adverse reaction to the vaccinations, as suspected by her mother?

Reading through the autopsy report, I noticed it was full of inaccuracies and raises many unanswered questions. On page 1, it states:

“Ja’Nayjah Sanders, a 3 month old female infant, reportedly presented to McLaren Health Center in cardiopulmonary arrest. Following resuscitation, she was transferred to Sparrow Hospital. A CT Scan demonstrated subdural hemorrhaging. During a craniotomy, the brain was noted to be nonpulsatile. Complications of the brain injury with hypoxia developed, including disseminated intravascular coagulation, metabolic acidosis and pneumonia. The child died while hospitalized. The admission to the hospital occurred on 01.04.2013. The baby was pronounced dead at 22.30 hours.

Reportedly, Ja’Nayjah had not been sick in the recent past and had not taken any medications. There were no known birth defects and the child received appropriate well visits. There was no exposure to ill persons or pets in the recent past and the baby did not attend daycare. The mother began prenatal care at 8 weeks of pregnancy. The baby had no health issues when born and the delivery was vaginal. The child was full term. The baby was formula fed with Enfamil. The child reportedly was normal, happy and playful 24 hours before becoming unresponsive. The body temperature at the hospital was 96 degrees. Between 8 o’clock and 9 a.m. on the date of the death, the father reports going to get a bottle for the baby and that while he was filling it, the baby stopped crying so he went over to check why. At that point, he found the baby unresponsive and not breathing. The father of Ja’Nayjah called his uncle; his uncle came over in a car, picked up Mr. Sanders and the baby and drove them to McLaren Hospital in Lansing, Michigan.” (own emphasis)

The coroner’s report certainly does not tie up with what the mother says.

It is clear that this little girl had been ill on both occasions that she had been seen by her doctor. Despite this fact, the doctor failed to examine Ja’Nayjah and had continued to vaccinate her even though she was clearly a sick child.

Interestingly, the autopsy also states:

“Gastrointestinal system: Representative sections obtained from the small and large intestines are free of significant histopathological abnormalities. The very superficial mucosa of the stomach displays early hemorrhage.”

This could mean that this baby had been suffering from some degree of gastritis, which would have accounted for the baby’s continual vomiting and subsequent bleeding in the stomach. [1]

The coroner also reported that Ja’Nayjah’s lungs were congested. This would be in line with Marrie’s report of ‘wheezing and congestion’ observed after her eight vaccinations.

A Different Child’s Name Appears On The Scans
The autopsy report is not the only report to raise serious questions about the way the evidence was gathered and presented to the court. It has since emerged that several of the scans used as evidence to convict Mr. Sanders appear to have a different child’s name on altogether!!! How is this possible?

Are the scans belonging to Ja’Nayjah in another child’s file?

This is gross medical negligence on the part of the hospital and raises many concerns about how this case was prepared for trial.

Did Ja’Nayjah Have An Underlying Medical Condition? Baby Ja’Nayjah died just 24 days after receiving eight vaccinations in one day.

Is it possible that Ja’Nayjah was suffering from a vitamin C deficiency? This condition is often brought on by receiving multiple vaccinations.

In 2006, Dr. Michael Innis wrote a paper published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, titled Vaccines, Apparent Life-Threatening Events, Barlow’s Disease, and Questions about Shaken Baby Syndrome, in which he discussed whether or not the unexplained bruising, subdural hemorrhages, and retinal hemorrhages currently being diagnosed as shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is caused not by parents viciously shaking their children, but rather a vitamin C deficiency brought on by multiple vaccines. [2]

His paper discussed two separate cases of babies who became ill shortly after multiple vaccinations. Both children were found to have suffered fractures and bleeds to the brain.

In his discussion, Dr. Innis stated that:

“As far as we are aware, no one has measured the blood levels of vitamin C or histamine in cases of suspected SBS. The possible existence of vitamin C deficiency is therefore hypothesized from clinical, radiological, and other laboratory findings. There are several features, common to both cases, that predispose to or are consistent with a diagnosis of vitamin C deficiency:

1. The mothers had documented nutritional problems and were unwell during their pregnancies.

2. The mothers smoked during their pregnancies, thereby lowering their own and their infants’ vitamin C levels.

3. Both infants were being formula-fed at the time of their illnesses, and the mothers were not advised to give supplemental vitamin C.

4. Both parents reported early evidence consistent with Barlow’s disease: spontaneous bruising in one infant and delayed wound healing in the other.

5. Both infants had deficiencies in essential and nonessential amino acids necessary for the production of normal collagen, which is essential to prevent scurvy.

6. Both infants had evidence of liver dysfunction.

7. Unexplained fractures were recorded in both children.

In addition to the low amino acid levels, the second infant had additional evidence of malnutrition in that the serum albumin, calcium, and hemoglobin levels were all low.

Animal experiments have demonstrated that administration of vitamin C can counter some of the ill effects of nicotine in newborns. This suggests that mothers who smoke may compromise vitamin C levels in their children.”

Dr. Innis has now studied all the paperwork in Ja’Nayjah’s case and he has confirmed that this child had an underlying illness and that vaccinations could have led to her death. An appeal will be launched to release her father from life in prison.

More Evidence Supports The Dangers Of Multiple Vaccinations It appears that Dr. Innis’s work and research is in line with a paper written by the late Dr. Archie Kalokerinos, M.D., titled Shaken Babies in a section titled The Role Played by Vaccine Administration. He stated:

“I would like to avoid this subject but cannot do so.

It is not a matter of whether vaccines should or should not be used.

It is a matter of – ‘Is there a role for vaccines in the pathogenesis of the Shaken Baby Syndrome?

In several cases (probably a significant number) the final collapse followed within a very short period of a vaccine administration. In the Sally Clark case, this happened with her two babies. She refused to have her third baby (born after she was charged) vaccinated.


There is no doubt, in my mind (and this is based on long experience) that despite advice to the contrary it is not wise to administer vaccines to sick infants—including infants with ‘colds.’ This is because, with infections (including ‘colds’), endotoxin is likely to be produced in the gut in excessive amounts, and liver detoxification processes are likely to be stressed.


Immediately, some practitioners are going to state that in many situations some infants ‘always have colds.’ This applies particularly to groups such as Australian Aborigines. The answer to that is to supplement, first, with vitamin C and zinc. Risks will then be reduced enormously (but not completely).


Mechanisms involved with vaccine administration include excessive endotoxin formation. Knowing this allows one to follow the remainder of the pathway towards the development of the pathologies found in so-called ‘shaken babies.’” (emphasis added)

He concluded that:

“I have no doubt that this ‘shaken baby’ business will eventually be recorded as one of the worst pages in the history of pediatrics. And the saddest part of it all concerns the fact that, while important doctors are busy collecting ‘evidence’ for the prosecution, vital issues that can save many lives are being not only ignored but destroyed with intense hostility.” (emphasis added) [3]

This is an excellent paper in which Dr. Kalokerinos made his view abundantly clear, especially in the sections that I have emphasized.

Conclusion Despite Marrie’s obvious concerns that her daughter may have suffered from possible vaccine injuries, vaccines were the last things on anyone’s mind when it came to charging and sentencing Mr. Sanders. In fact, absolutely no expert witnesses from any field of medicine was asked to give evidence in Mr. Sanders’ defense. This case was completely one-sided, hinging on weak, flimsy evidence, all of which was completely circumstantial.

The only way that this prosecution team could know for sure that Mr. Sanders shook his baby daughter to death would have been video evidence or a credible eyewitness account. Since there was no video evidence and no eyewitness account, the prosecution’s account and ‘evidence’ should be counted as nothing more than conjecture and hearsay.

Yet again, this case proves that other possible causes for this child’s ill health, including vaccine injuries, were ignored in favor of blame. Mr. John Sanders should be released immediately and then sue this hospital for medical incompetence, medical malpractice and false imprisonment.

Afrikan Sexuality: Kenya

1/5/2016

Sexuality, Worldview, and Afrikan Culture
PictureKenyan flag
Law governs the Afrikan universe (personified as the neter Maat in Kemet) giving order and meaning to everything; and everything has it proper place, role, and protocol in Nature, including that domain within Nature where humans have carved out their existence, culture. And it is with this mindset that we must approach the issue of homosexuality in Afrika. Ultimately, Afrikan cultures produced a society that championed man-woman, husband-wife relationship as a microcosm of the relationship between the Creator and his wife the Earth. Living in a divinely structured universe, in which even space and time reciprocated as masculine and feminine energies, mitigated against developing arbitrary personal ideologies, or philosophies about existence. Cultural practices and cosmological ideals support each other, helping to create a wholistic harmonious society that sought to integrate every aspect of life. It is only when Afrikan cultures fail to live according to cosmology, when traditional institutions breakdown, that societies become subject to countless anomalies, homosexuality being just one.

Kenya is an example of how foreign influences, especially “modernization,” adversely effect traditional societies. The ethnic distribution of Kenya’s estimated population of over thirty million people in 2000 was 22 percent Kikuyu; 14 percent Luhya; 13 percent Luo; 12 percent Kalenjin; 11 percent Kamba; 6 percent Kisii; 6 percent Meru; and the rest divided among European, Asians, and Arabs.6 A political remnant of Western imperialism, Kenya, like other Afrikan societies is multiethnic, multilinguistic, and religiously diverse. What the noted Kenyan scholar Ali Mazrui has called the “triple heritage,” traditional society (with its worldview, cosmology, and rituals), Islam (with its worldview, secularization and dichotomization of society), and Westernization (with its modernity, consumerism, Christianity and Marxism), has impacted upon society in every way, mixing traditional values and imposing alien ones. Depending on the level of urbanization, intergroup marriages, religion, and the amount of Western education a Kenyan is exposed to, will determine his degree of cultural dissociation and fragmentation.

In the West, religious or spiritual values are personal and private, while in Afrika they are communal and social. Even sexual behavior is a communal activity, important primarily in the context of childbearing and maintaining the lineage group. Although sharing essentially the same worldview, different Afrikan cultures in Kenya maintain different sexual values and customs. For example, among the Luo, a woman is disgraced if she gives birth before marriage, while a few groups view it is as a valuable sign of fertility. Among the Somali, Maragoli, and Luo female virginity is highly value, while it is viewed differently among the Kisii, Kikuyu, and Nandi. With the Kikuyu an impotent man may provide a partner for his wife; the same is true of Kisii culture, where a man if impotent can provide an omosoi nyomba, meaning “warmer of the house” for his wife; among the Nandi, a married woman can continue to have sex with any member of her husband’s age set; Masai women and men are considered husbands and wives to their entire age group and can have intercourse with any “spouse” they choose. In contrast, the Maragoli consider extramarital sex as adultery and subject to fines. Thus, excluding Islamic and Western sexual mores and influences, Afrikans in urban settings experience “culture shock” just between themselves. Now imagine the complexity of the relationship when a Luo Muslim man marries a Western educated Christian Kikuyu woman.

Traditional society expects parents to refrain from discussing sexual matters with their children. Nevertheless, children learn about sex from older children and through “sex play” with their peers. Adults maintain a “liberal” attitude in regard to sex play among children or the uncircumcised, though it is still subject to customary rules. Because puberty rites address social puberty rather than biological puberty, several years may lapse before a boy who has actually reached puberty undergoes the rite. In such cases, these young men “secretly” engage in sexual activities. However, even these “secret” trysts follow customs. For example, the Kikuyu tacitly understand these couples are not to engage in intercourse, though they allow petting and breast fondling. Maragoli girls frequently engage in “sex play” with boys but only after puberty can they engage in intercourse. The Kisii allow extensive sex play among smaller children, but such activities are to be kept away from one’s parents. The Luo allow uncircumcised boys to engage in interfemoral or “thigh” intercourse. A prepubescent Nandi boy rarely has the opportunity for intercourse due to the strict controls of the warrior age set. And in the few cases where customs permit premarital intercourse, pregnancy is avoided using the withdrawal method. Puberty initiation is the time when society teaches youth “sex education” and gender roles that are appropriate for society. No longer considered a child, the young adult must abandon sexual behaviors associated with childhood, thus, if adult males engage in self-pleasuring it is considered childish and immature. In addition to the shame, the circumcised man who continues such behavior is considered unfit for adult responsibilities.

This brings me back to a point I made earlier. In the West, scientist and theorist devise theorems about sexuality. In Afrika, however, the natural course of human life becomes the textbook on sexuality. And culture must provide structure for it. For example, Kinsey developed a scale of sexuality, somewhat arbitrarily, which scanned from heterosexual exclusivity to homosexual exclusivity. But in Afrika, we see sexual behavior is age-determined. It moves from childhood which is autosexuality (which often includes mutual sex pleasuring, with some behaviors being “bisexual”) to adulthood heterosexuality to elderhood asexuality. This movement is not based on a philosophy, but the understanding that human grow and change, and that one size does not fit all. Human sexuality is based on the experience of human being that has been pass down for generation; it is based on a tradition of wisdom and not simply theoretical science. And most of all it is design to let human experience what humans will experience while providing a structure that will maintain order and smooth transitions from one stage of life into the next.

PictureDr. Frances Cress Welsing
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing was a  Washington, D.C. based psychiatrist and race theorist who rocked the fields of cultural and behavioral science with her 1970 essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy). This striking theory of the origins of racism is rooted in the effects that varying degrees of melanin—the color-producing pigment in skin—can have on racial perception and development.

In her essay, Welsing contends that because of their “numerical inadequacy”and “color inferiority,” white people may have defensively developed “an uncontrollable sense of hostility and aggression” towards people of color which has led to “confrontations”between the races throughout history. Repressing their own feelings of inadequacy, whites “set about evolving a social, political and economic structure to give blacks and other ‘non-whites’ the appearance of being inferior.”

The second of three girls, Welsing was born on March 18, 1935, in Chicago, Illinois, into a family that had already produced two doctors. Her father, Henry N. Cress, now deceased, was a medical doctor, as was her grandfather. After receiving her bachelor’s degree at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 1957, and her M.D. at Washington D.C.’s Howard University College of Medicine five years later, Welsing pursued a career in general and child psychiatry. Her Cress Theory essay was published while she was an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Howard University College of Medicine. According to

Welsing, it caused such a stir that her tenure at the university was not renewed in 1975.
In addition to her role as an educator, Welsing spent nearly two and a half decades of her long and distinguished career working as a staff physician for the Department of Human Services in Washington, D.C., and served as the clinical director of two schools there for emotionally troubled children. A specialist in both child and general psychiatry, she began her private practice in the district in 1967 and has gained particular acclaim for her work with young people.

Expressed Views on Global White Supremacy
Welsing laid the foundation for her ongoing discussion of white supremacy in her groundbreaking 1970 essay The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism. In it, she reasoned that because whiteness is a color deficiency and white people make up only a small percentage of the earth’s population, they tend to view people of color as a threat to their survival and therefore treat them with hostility. She stated that their defensive reaction has been to impose white supremacy, or racism, on people of color throughout history.
Basing part of her argument on observations by Neeley Fuller in his 1969 Textbook for Victims of White Supremacy, Welsing focused on his view of racism as a “universally operating‘system’ of white supremacy rule and domination” in which the “majority of the world’s white people participate.”He suggested that economic forms of government such as capitalism and communism were created to perpetuate white domination and that the white“race” is really an “organization”dedicated to maintaining control over the world. In addition, he argued that people of color have never imposed“colored” supremacy on anyone.

Using Fuller’s contention that “most white people hate black people [because] whites are not black people,”Welsing went on to suggest that “any neurotic drive for superiority,” in this case, the white drive, is based on a“deep and pervading sense of inadequacy and inferiority.” Welsing cited journals, diaries, and books written by whites as examples of their“initial hostility and aggression”towards people of color and particularly towards black people “who have the greatest color potential and therefore are the most envied and the most feared in genetic color competition.”She added: “That whites desire to have colored skin can be seen by anyone at the very first signs of Spring or Summer when they begin to strip off their clothes, often permitting their skins to be burned severely in an attempt to add some color to their white, pale, colorless bodies, rendering themselves vulnerable to skin cancer in the process.”

Psychological Causes and Ramifications of Racism

Welsing asserted in The Cress Theory that many whites are unable to peacefully live among or attend school with people of color because it explodes“the myth of white superiority” and forces them to face their “psychological discomfort” and “color inadequacy.” She also stated that “the difficulty whites have in according ‘non-whites’sociopolitical and economic equality stems… from the fundamental sense of their own unequal situation in regards to their numerical inadequacy and color deficiency.” To compensate for this inadequacy, Welsing judged, whites strive to maintain a superior social position and manipulate non-whites and themselves into thinking that they are a worldwide numerical majority instead of the minority. In support of this conclusion, she cited statistics indicating that birth control is rarely emphasized for whites, while a great emphasis is placed on controlling the birthrates of people of color.

She concluded her Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation by arguing that people of color must gain a better understanding of the “behavioral maneuverings” of whites in order to avoid being“manipulated into a subordinated position.” In her view, people of color need to “liberate” themselves psychologically from various forms of white domination. She also suggested that whites need to understand the motivation behind their behavior and explore with an open mind the emotional and psychological foundations of racism.

Published The Isis Papers

The issue of white supremacy is discussed in depth in Welsing’s 1990 book The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors, a virtual fixture on the Blackboard African American Bestsellers List. In the book, the author uses America’s preoccupation with sports to illustrate what she perceives to be white supremacist behavior in action: “The whole of white culture,”she wrote in The Isis Papers, “is designed to say that whites have [certain] qualities. Everything possible is done to demonstrate this. First, you have [only] white players, then blacks come in, but a white has to be the quarterback. Western culture has to project white supremacy.” Welsing further contended that when blacks succeed athletically, whites are forced “up against the psychological wall” because white youngsters are “brought up to believe a white has to be superior.”

Theory Generated Controversy

Not surprisingly, Welsing’s views about global white supremacy and racism in contemporary society have provoked controversy and stimulated debate in and outside of the black community, as well as on national television. Her theory has also challenged former definitions of racism put forth by social and behavioral scientists. Despite the controversy surrounding her, Welsing was praised in the Los Angeles Times for being “the first scientist to psychoanalyze white racism” in the history of Western psychiatry, rather then focusing on the victims of racism. She is sought out by the media for her provocative view of race relations and lectures about racism at colleges and universities in the United States and England.

Back in 1974, Welsing debated Dr. William Shockley, the author of a theory of black genetic inferiority, on national public television. She is responsible for generating public discussion throughout the United States about the possible effects of melanin on behavior and culture. Black authors, psychiatrists, and lecturers have written studies and books on this subject, and a series of conferences about it have been held on the East and West Coasts.

In the early 1990s Welsing’s theory caused a stir in the media after a publicist for the popular rap group Public Enemy sent music reviewers copies of her 1970 essay along with advance tapes of the group’s new album, Fear of a Black Planet. Their publicist, Harry Allen, said in theWashington Post that Welsing’s paper“should be seen as some of the inspiration” for the album, the title song of which deals with racial purity and miscegenation (racial mixing).
In reply to those who have called her theory racist, Welsing commented in the Washington Post that her philosophy is “a challenge to white behavioral scientists to help white people become comfortable with their numbers and their color, because if they become comfortable with their minority and genetic recessive status and stop getting upset about it so they’re really in a posture of respecting themselves, then they can be in a posture to respect other people.”

Still, Welsing drew skeptical comments from some Washington journalists over her reported statement in 1989 on ABC-TV’s Nightline that drug trafficking is an effort by “genetically recessive”whites fearing “genetic annihilation” to kill a large part of the young black male population which poses “the greatest threat to white genetic survival.”Welsing advocated the use of force to stop warring drug dealers in Washington, D.C.’s most dangerous neighborhoods. She also suggested in the Washington Post that more attention should be paid to “what is happening to black men, a large segment of whom are in a state of frustration and hopelessness.” Linking drug-related homicides to personal history, she stated: “I’ll bet if we examined the lives of these drug killers, we’d find a mother who started having babies as a teen-ager [and] a kid who had no self-esteem and a fatalistic expectation of a short, violent and jobless life.”

Called for Strong African American Family Structure

Welsing suggested that African American families must operate more effectively if they are to produce“strong-minded” children who can“challenge” white supremacy. In an interview in Essence, she told Karen Halliburton, “No Black female should have children before the age of 30, and no Black man should become a father before the age of 35. Before child rearing, we should be going to school, going to the library, educating ourselves. We must create mature, mentally developed parents. Then we will be able to produce children with self-respect and a high-level functioning pattern.”

Welsing theorized in the Chicago Tribune that many black children have received too little “lap time” or cuddling from their parents and that this “later propelled them into premature sex, alcohol and drug abuse.” In private practice and in visits to schools, she observed that these children become parents without learning how to “satisfy emotional needs”; a resulting condition of “dependency deprivation” has perpetuated itself in black families since the days of slavery.

Ultimately Welsing believes that the key to eradicating racism lies in self-respect, discipline, and education. “We must clean up our neighborhoods,” she told Halliburton. “We must revolutionize ourselves…. Whether white people are consciously or subconsciously aware of it, they are behaving in a manner to ensure white genetic survival. We must know this truth. And the truth is the first step toward real strength.”
