If you are already subscribed then please give the video a like and share this video-podcast with your friends this will help get the ball rolling. This podcast is available in three forms: Audio, Video and a Written transcript in order for us to reach our audience. I also site all of my sources under Show and Prove on my Medium Page which is where I post my transcript.
I use this platform to interact with everyone on my friends list and everyone in my social groups by giving Black business owners free air time to promote their products and services, I give people in the faith community an opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and ordinary law abiding citizens an opportunity to share their special talents/skills to my listeners from around the globe.
After the show I offer my guest speakers an incentive by teaching them how to create their own podcast and Youtube channel to help them earn extra revenue during COVID-19. I also assist people on my friends list with creating basic websites, finding college scholarships/grants; housing & legal services all for free.
We need your help now more than ever. Our film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins) is funded by the Black Grass Roots and the Global Black Family. I am working with a shoestring budget as our community continues to grow, our operational costs will also grow. If you got any value from our content this year please consider supporting our film project in three ways they are as follows:
1. Though our virtual store. We provide merchandise such as COVID Facemask, Coffee Mugs, Posters, Handbag and T-shirts. All proceeds will go towards our film project.
2. Though our Paypal Page. (GRCAI of Chicago) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago is a faith base, community advocacy organization. Donations can be used as a tax right off for U.S. citizens because this is a legitimate 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
3. You can also support our film project by purchasing my revised book (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding, And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition which is available on my Amazon Author Page. I provide each website on my transcript under Show & Prove. You can also find each website on my Youtube channel under About.
When you’re supporting our Youtube channel or our podcast you’re supporting an independent black network which will eventually employ Black People in our films, stage plays and in our actual business. We’re gonna start getting things done. We need to own and control institutions in our neighborhoods.

I have 1,457 people on my Facebook friends list. I pray that God would touch the hearts and minds for people on my friends list and in my social groups would step up and do their part in supporting our film project by sharing our video-podcast with their friends this will help get the ball rolling. This is not my burden alone this is a shared burden. The best that I can do at this time is to promote our black media component without support from the black grass roots and the global black family I am unable to do my job. Work with me while I am alive don’t wait until I am dead to embrace my vision and plan, for Black America & Africa. With that being said today’s topic:
Title: (It’s Time For Us To Build Our Own Social Media [GRCAN] the Grass Roots Community Activist Network, Why Twitter Choose Ghana As A Regional Hub? And Where Does ADOS Go From Here?)
Before I jump into my presentation I need to address a certain story that we as black people don’t address too often. A twisted so called brother in Pennsylvania raped a woman in public on a train in front of witnesses but no one intervened. This is the same nonsense that happen to George Floyd he was being killed in front of people and no one intervened. It’s really hard for me to continue live in a country where people value animals over human beings. Next month will be 30 years that I have been pushing my vision to Black America now I am reaching out to the Global Black Family to help fund my film project so that I can move our organization to the big screen in order to reach the masses and start getting things done starting in Chicago.
If GRCAM members are serious about building our own social media then we need content creators among us to step forth. The shows that you watch on cable or on the internet they are approved, written and funded by the financial elites. That’s why it’s important for us to create and build our own institutions When you own and control your own network you are independent of the financial elites they have no leverage over you and that kind of autonomy is a threat to the powers that be. A few weeks ago Facebook, Instagram and Whats App was temporarily shut down. According to KTN News report the explanation for the technical glitch range from conspiracy theories that governments are behind the shut down. Facebook announced on Monday October 4th that the root cause of the outage was a faulty configuration change there was no evidence that users data was compromised as a result. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg used his account to apologize he said “sorry for the disruption I know how much you reply on your services to stay connected with the people you care about.”
Facebook’s total dominance of social media became even more visible this was the largest outage since 2008. Online companies use Facebook and other social sites to market their products and for customer service. This is a big problem when you consider the fact that Facebook is control by one person Mark Zuckerberg and he has one billion users and growing. Now we see how vulnerable these systems are to hackers. Hopefully this was a wake up call for black people that our future should not be in the hands of one person or one company. Understand that this can be used against the liberation struggle. Digital Colonialism is what African People & Black People are facing in this day and age. According to the textbook version colonialism is when you have a colonist a host country far away colonizing a territory having a legally binding relationship to export resources of the colony for their benefit as well as controlling internal politics. It’s really about control and ownership of someone else’s land and resources.
Facebook is privately owned and subject to very little oversight. We should understand that these tech companies make it convenient it comes with a price. These tech companies figured out a cleaver way to monetize us as a commodity. Our data is based on our personality which is your identity. Facebook and other tech companies maybe protecting our privacy but they do not have to protect our personal information to third parties. Our information can be bought and sold to third parties like Law Enforcement, Institutions, Advertising Companies and Mega-Corporations.
The most successful black organization in America was (UNIA) Universal Negro Improvement Association founded by Marcus Garvey. He was deported due to his political views and influence on African Americans. Today there’s a whole set of issues affecting Black Americans the impetus is on us. Many of us focus on COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic black political organizations. But we’re not focusing on how COINTELPRO has been repackaged and rebranded. These are serious things we have to think about if we’re serious about our liberation.
For example, Law Enforcement are using data from social media to identify future criminals. Institutions are monitoring social media to control public moods. The surveillance of our lives has become more widely available this has serious consequences for the way we live both online and offline. We got to stop walking into traps. I found an article from the Intercept entitled “Revealed: Facebook’s Secret Blacklist of “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations.” They have this long list of organizations that Facebook is working with for law enforcement of potential terrorist groups, Islamic groups, White Militia groups. I provide the entire list on my transcript Medium Page under show and prove. Let me pull up one particular group on that list they have Grand Master J organization the (NFAC) Not F word Around Coalition who is labeled as a black militia group. I warned Black America for years NFAC was something to trap black people who have a militant mindset caught up on charges this organization was a way to get their name on a watch list. Family y’all don’t walk into situations like that.
You should never join militia groups many have hidden agendas and sellouts all around who are in the pockets of the financial elites they would sell their own mother for money. We should know better from the Black Panthers of the 60’s.
The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is about trying to move our virtual Christian socialist organization from behind a computer starting in Chicago. I do this show to encourage my online group members to interact with me in real time to discuss these issues until I am able to get our film project fully funded and made. I believe our film project is important for our people otherwise I would not have devoted so much time and energy towards it. This film will touch on how this system targets the black family and black children. Without black children we have no future. The other thing that this film will touch on is reconnecting with our Continental brothers and sisters beginning in South Africa. Finally this film will focus on the reason I created GRCAM and how the black grass roots & the Global Black Family step up to help turn my vision and plan into a reality.
It’s my hope that everyone who will support this film will gain a lot of knowledge and foresight about connecting with other like minded people in your community. We have to organize among ourselves and separate from those who mean the community no good we will raise the bar in America and solve our social problems once and for all.

Second topic — Why Twitter Choose Ghana As A Regional Hub? Jack Dorsey traveled to four African nations Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana. He decided to launch the national head quarters in Ghana. By the end of this century Africa will be half of the world’s population. Any company that understand that the future is Africa. Ghana is open to foreign investors Ghana was the first African nation to launch the year of return. Every nation has two levels of independence there’s an economic independence and a political independence. The economic independence means economically means what you do as a nation there is little influence from other nations as to what you do with your resources. In contrast, political independence means the systems you set up on how you govern your nation will have little influence from other nations.
For example, Twitter might say they don’t like Ghana privacy laws Ghana would either have to change their laws or face Twitter relocating to another African nation. I believe Africans should be benefiting more then foreigners who come to their land. Hopefully Ghana would manage the situation wisely by not just allow foreigner investors to come to their shores and benefit more than Ghana. Being based in one African nation under the African free trade agreement gives Twitter access to 54 African nations. I pray that Ghana would be able to transfer those skills and develop something indigenous from Africa. If you like this topic please leave a comment on my Youtube Page and on my Facebook Page.
Third topic — Where Does ADOS Go From Here? I strongly believe that GRCAM is the best way forward for Black America, Africa, the Caribbean & Brazil. In America it’s getting more and more dangerous to raise a family in every city someone is being killed. You have so called brothers shooting at each other in public. Black women and black boys are coming up missing and you have people harvesting organs. If you want to remain in America you need to know the facts focusing on the pie in the sky is not cutting it. For two in a half decades I’ve been trying to find like minded black people in Chicago and across the United States to work with me directly in building infrastructure within the black community yet despite my efforts I am unable to find qualified black people everybody want to get paid but don’t want to invest into the business you feel me? All I have is our virtual store, my revised book and our paypal page. Other groups have infrastructure that insulates them from harm. This is why my focus is on turning my book into a film so that I can recruit young black people to get involved with this organization. It’s my hope that the Black Grass Roots & The Global Black Family can turn GRCAM into our own version of Amazon.
Every since Joe Biden has gotten into office many (ADOS) American Descendants of Slavery realize that HR40 was no longer an issue they lost the momentum. Further more the organization was co-opted by another black movement called (FBA) Foundational Black Americans. Also ADOS allowed xenophobia to take root within their organization which turned a lot of black people off. They also allowed entertainers to hijack their organization. They did not properly screen people within the organization. Antonio Moore was telling his members to vote Democrat down ballot. No apology for misleading black people. I don’t see anything moving Black America forward. Black America is fighting on to many fronts. Everybody keep saying get on code but never tells anyone what is the code?
I have not heard any of these black organization say they are going to make Democrats pay for messing over us. The Biden Administration made it clear they are not going to doing anything specifically for us. We could use this time to push the message that we’re not voting for Democrats during the next mid term election. That’s one way we can send them a message. In order to solve a problem Black America have to admit there is a problem when it comes to our voting practices. We don’t talk enough about practicing group economics.
The Freemen Bureau Bank was stolen by Congress why Black America don’t push for a class action lawsuit? We have other racial groups who is cultivating and taken over they are going to flourish because they have their own bank backing them. For example, East Indians come here dominant the hotel industry. Latinos who come here dominant the trade industry. The Armenians who come here dominant the Gas stations. We are living in a false freedom and inflation. Since I have little to no support from people in Chicago I use my show to connect with Black people and African people throughout the United States and around the globe. My goal now is to move our virtual organization to the big screen. The proceeds from the film will help me carry out what I’ve been talking about for the past 29 years. None of my members will never have to endure such foolishness that I had to endure just for trying to do something positive in the black community.
