Democrats’ Marxist Enslavement of Black America
Meeting # 3,832 - Derrick Michael Reid BS JD Esq, Libertarian running for the 2028 US Presidency.
Brief Description (Abstract)
Democrat Party pandering of Black Voters through government cheese, increases dependency, poor schools and jobs, destroying black communities, running up national debt, paying interest to banks, retaining banking contributions, cementing political power, leading to presidential assassinations.
The speaker states that "Democrats insisted upon right of slavery, would not give up their slaves, and fought to keep their slaves. The KKK were democrats, from TN’s NB Forest to AL’s George Wallace. The democrats have enslaved our black countymen, even to this day, with government cheese and poor schools, enslaved in the inner cities with no hope. If you’re black and don’t vote for Biden, you’re not black tells of the Democrats owning blacks to this day. The democrats through their entire existence, to this day, have been the overseers of our enslaved black countrymen. From slaves, to lynching, to dependency to 20,000,000 abortions, the democrats have always enslaved our black countrymen. I will free our black countrymen from the clutches of democrat enslavement."

Farms in the City and the USA
Meetings # 3,837 - college regular Dan Weinberg
The speakers asks "How many farms are there now? How many farms were there in 1900? What good are farms? Should we get all our food from Mexico, Canada, Guatemala, and Honduras? Or should the USA grow more fruits and veggies? Where did all the 1900 farms go? Why did small farms go away for some part? Why are there 100,00 acre farms now? Why are there few urban farms in white areas and more in Black and Brown areas of Chicago? Does it have to do with more grocery stores in the area? What are the finances of small urban farms?
Urban farms or gardens, as some people say, are useful to introduce city and suburban young and older people to the world of growing fruit and vegetables. Food does not come from stores. Food comes from soil usually. And many people have no idea of how to grow food. One acre is a large enough area to teach citizens the basics of soil science, plant care, and rules for selling at a farmer's market. Huge tractors are not needed to grow crops. Urban farms/gardens fill a need in neighborhoods that lack fresh food for sale. Food pantries can be stocked with locally grown vegetables with minimal fossil fuel costs. Locally grown vegetables help provide all citizens with nourishing food that can be difficult to find. Pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides are not mandatory for healthy lives. Compost along with cover crops can regeneratively fertilize and protect soil from so-called weeds. Diabetes and heart disease might be a result of eating too much GMO's or too much added sugar or eating too much RoundUp. Tests have to be done. Cuba, Russia, China, and the USA all use tons of RoundUp every growing season. Some people think this is not healthy."
