(TriceEdneyWire.com) - Unless you are comfortable with your little girls or women sharing bathrooms with men, you have a right to be angry about the president’s new transgender bathroom directives to public schools that allow persons to use restrooms based on how they self-identify rather than the gender stated on their birth certificates.

What you are seeing now is small potatoes, however, to what’s really boiling in the bigger pot. In other words you haven’t seen nothing yet.

The more radical wing of the transgender movement involves not only creating a totally genderless culture but also embracing transhumanism a technology-based philosophy which allows people to adopt different physical forms, such as marrying robots and forming families with digitally created avatars and eventually defying death itself.

“Freedom of gender is the gateway to a freedom of form and to an explosion of human potential, where a penis will not define a person, no more than human flesh.  Based upon our rapidly accelerating technological ability to imbue software with human personality and self-awareness that thinks and acts like a human, we must understand we are no more limited by our sexual anatomy than our human anatomy, writes  Martina Rothblatt. She is a transgendered woman and a leading proponent of the transhumanist movement.

Martina Rothblatt, is someone whose lifestyle opens a window to not only transgenderism but also transhumanism, an emerging movement whose disciples often revere technology as their god who will liberate them from the prison of their own bodies, allowing them to duplicate and recreate themselves through technology and conquer disease and one day death itself.

Martine, a Jewish lawyer, author, entrepreneur and futurist was born Martin, but has been married to her wife Bina, an African American woman former real estate agent straight out of Compton for 33 years. Together they have four children. A founder of Sirius Satellite Radio, she flies her own helicopter up and down the East Coast to preside over her $5 billion United Therapeutics corporation, a publicly traded Silver Spring MD-based pharmaceutical corporation.   “Ironically she has been declared the highest paid female executive in the United States,” according to the September 7, 2014 edition of New York Magazine.

Even more interesting, according to the magazine’s profile she has commissioned a company to design a robot to resemble her wife Bina.  Bina48, the robot version, is a head and shoulder bust with real like facial skin that is loaded with interviews of Bina and her favorite songs, so that when she dies there will be much of her that lives on.

If Martine a transgendered woman whose transhumanist belief system seems odd, that is not so counters   Dr. James Hughes, who presides over the Institute for Ethical and Emerging Technologies. “Martina’s ideas are mainstream. It is just a matter of time—and some think soon—where we can record our personality and brain activities and transfer them into computers and share our consciousness across platforms.  In the future we will have control over our body, reproduce without sex and even genetically change the race we were born with.”

Hughes says that both transhumanism and transgenderism express a common understanding that the body we were born with have limitations and technology allows us to transcend those limitations. If a male wants to come to work in a dress that person should have that right to do so even without making any changes to the body because technology is freeing society from the way people think about gender and sexuality.”

Already the move to create a genderless society is circulating through our schools. For example Fairfax County Va. Public Schools, one of the nation’s largest public school systems, has proposed adding gender identity to its classroom curriculum, including lessons on sexual fluidity and spectrum – the idea that there’s no such thing as 100 percent boys or 100 percent girls.  The underlining ideology—vigorously opposed by parent groups-- teaches that you can be both genders, no gender, or whatever gender you call yourself.

In middle school students would be provided definitions for sexual orientation terms heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality; and the gender identity term transgender, the district’s recommendations state. “Emphasis will be placed on recognizing that everyone is experiencing changes and the role of respectful, inclusive language in promoting an environment free of bias and discrimination.”

Eighth graders would be taught that individual identity “occurs over a lifetime and includes the component of sexual orientation and gender identity.  Individual identity will also be described as having four parts – biological gender, gender identity (includes transgender), gender role, and sexual orientation (includes heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual).”

Proposed changes will also introduce young teenagers to the “concept that sexuality is a broader spectrum.” By tenth grade, they will be taught that one’s sexuality “develops throughout a lifetime.”

Christian beliefs that God created male and female do not leave room for the third sex or genderless society that transgendered and transhumanists generally support.   Humanisms is a rejection of creationism and maintains humans were created and evolved through natural selection and through technology will become a more enduring, superior species.  By definition it a secular belief system “that is an alternative to religion that believes in a supernatural god and life in the hereafter, according to the American Humanist Association, whose motto on their website  is “being good without God.”

Society has nothing to fear from transgendered persons Hughes said. Since transgendered persons make up less than 0.3 percent of the population that kind of fear is irrational. “A little boy has much more to fear from peeing next to a straight man than a transgendered person.” The problem with this argument does not rest solely with a transgendered persons, who I believe after having surgical reassignment should be allowed to use appropriate facilities.  My problem is the bathroom doors, under the president’s proposal, would be flung open to any man who on any given day says he is a woman.  That gives carte blanche gone to predators, proposed rapists and others who would prey on our women and children.

President Barack Obama’s staff and visitors now have the option of using a gender-neutral restroom, a White House spokesman has announced -the latest in a series of symbolic steps the Obama administration has taken in support of the LGBT community. That is little comfort, of course, for most of us would not have the type of security normally associated with the White House.

Even so, the toilet fuss is just the tip of an emerging movement that is combining transgenderism with transhumanism and is quietly working to change virtually everything while the majority of pastors, preachers and even parents in failing to protest this are rendering silent agreement.

Blackonomics

From Black Power to Green Power
By James Clingman

(TriceEdneyWire.com) - Have you ever wondered what happened to Black Power?  Remember the days of the clinched fist, the afro, the dashiki, and black berets?  Remember Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, H. Rap Brown, and the Black Panthers?  How about Shaft and Foxy Brown?  Black was beautiful and “powerful” back then, right?

If you were around in those days, and even if you were not, you will also recall J. Edgar Hoover’s Counter Intelligence Program, otherwise known as COINTELPRO.  It kept watch on MLK, Malcolm, and any Black person who stood up and spoke out against injustice and had the temerity to actually fight for Black Power.  Those were the days, right?  Wrong.  Ask Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

Years before Hoover began his COINTELPRO tactics against those mentioned above, he set up a scheme to destroy the man many believe to be the progenitor of real Black Power:  Marcus Mosiah Garvey.  Hoover called Garvey a "notorious negro agitator," and did everything he could to dig up dirt on him.  Historian, Theodore Kornweibel, said, "Hoover and the Justice Department were clearly hooked on a fixation on Garvey which would before long become a vendetta."

Hoover had relied on part-time black informants to track Garvey's movements and U.N.I.A. activities. Ironically, in December 1919 his determination to go after Garvey led Hoover to hire the first Black agent in the Bureau's history, James Wormley Jones.  “His job," says Kornweibel, "was to go into Harlem and infiltrate the Garvey movement and find evidence that could be used to build the legal case for ultimately getting rid of Garvey."  We know what happened to Garvey when Hoover and his gang found that Garvey would not buckle and was not about to sell his people out.

Notwithstanding Garvey’s refusal to sell out, many of our “leaders” in the glorious 1960’s, those who chanted “Black Power” were conquered by green power.  Hoover was doing his thing on an even larger scale, from character assassination to murder, and in a relatively short period of time, we looked around and saw former militant Black folks writing proposals to get funding for social service agencies and all of a sudden going from hardcore freedom fighters to CEO’s and Presidents of those organizations.

Green power worked the best among all of Hoover’s tactics.  A few “guvment” dollars here and there and voila! No more Black Power.  Don’t get me wrong, there were those who remained faithful to the principle of Black Power, but their numbers slowly dwindled due to lack of funds and certainly the murders on George Jackson and Fred Hampton.  Hoover wasn’t playing, but the “guvment” was paying.  “Party over here!”

Some of the problems for Black Power advocates back then can be attributed to several things.  An article on PBS, American Experience, explained it this way: “Originally motivated by goals of quick reforms, 1960s activists were ill-prepared for the long-term struggles in which they found themselves. Overly dependent on media-oriented superstars and one-shot dramatic actions, they failed to develop stable organizations, accountable leadership, and strategic perspective. Creatures of the culture they so despised, they often lacked the patience to sustain tedious grassroots work and painstaking analysis of actual social conditions. They found it hard to accept the slow, uneven pace of personal and political change.”

“What proved most devastating in all of this was the effective manipulation of the victims of COINTELPRO into blaming themselves.  Since the FBI and police operated covertly, the horrors they engineered appeared to emanate from within the movements. Activists' trust in one another and in their collective power was subverted, and the hopes of a generation died, leaving a legacy of cynicism and despair which continues to haunt us today.”  Source: How COINTELPRO Helped Destroy the Movements of the 1960s, Jan 24, 1991

Hoover’s 48 years as FBI Director taught him, and influenced even Presidents, that Black Power could be diffused, first through the use of force, trumped up criminal charges, and clandestine subterfuge, but later through the use of green power.  Pay off a few Black folks and eliminate or at least minimize the positive effects of Black Power as we know it.

A great example of this truth is “Little” Al Sharpton, now his alter-ego to “Big Bad” Al Sharpton.  He didn’t have a lot of money, but he had a lot of bluster.  He called someone out on Morton Downey’s TV, referred to him as a “punk-faggot,” while he fought for Black folks (at least that’s what we thought). He went from Black Power to green power, to the tune of $750,000 on MSNBC.  “Sharp” move, wasn’t it?

Let’s use our own green power to fund and support the Black Power we seek.
