Hello everyone,

As I typed in the “Searching for THE TRUTH” page (And the title),

We live in a world of deception. It is a reality we cannot deny. Throughout history, humans have employed deception for various reasons, sometimes to protect themselves, while at other times to gain an unfair advantage. This fundamental human behavior has shaped the course of events in countless ways, influencing interactions between individuals, communities, and nations.

The prevalence of deception in various facets of life is indeed a fascinating subject. Deception’s manifestations in politics, business, personal relationships, and even in the natural world, where animals employ camouflage and mimicry to survive, offer a multifaceted lens through which to examine human behavior.

Understanding the widespread presence of deception can grant us invaluable insight into human nature and prompt us to approach our interactions with discernment and mindfulness. This awareness allows us to navigate the complexities of life with a balanced perspective, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Domestic violence is a serious issue that should never be tolerated, neither in public nor at home. It is a violation of a person’s fundamental rights and a threat to their physical and psychological well-being. It’s important to stand up against any form of domestic violence, and provide support to those who are affected by it.

People who commit acts of domestic violence must be held accountable for their actions, and there should be zero tolerance for such behavior in any community or household. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in their own home, and it’s crucial to create a culture that condemns and prevents domestic violence.

You’re not alone

I just HAD to post this.

Hello,

Well it’s simple, really. I created this series to help spread awareness about this subject, and as a martial artist, it’s not just about defending yourself, but about defending others as well.

Domestic abuse is a particularly EVIL form of abuse because the perpetrators not only target the weakest in our society, but it also trains the instinct to protect oneself out of those people.

Anyway, I want you to check out this little PSA. Because…

One of the best ways to stop this, is to recognize it when it ahppens.

Hello,

Just a quick post here. I saw this video on Youtube, and I wanted to share it with you because I LOVE how capoeira Angola can be used to have such a powerful impact on people’s lives.

Enjoy the video.

March 1st commemorates the remarkable victory of the Ethiopian nation — the first defiance against the formidable Italian army near the town of Adwa, in 1896. Despite the loss of over 100,000 lives, Ethiopians courageously defended their sovereignty with traditional swords and shields.

In winning this pivotal victory, Ethiopia not only secured its own independence, but also inspired the anti-colonialist movement.

The video below is a restored and colorized video from 1935, of Ethiopia’s Military warriors preparing for war with the Italians, where they eventually defeated them in the now famous Abyssinia war .

Yes, the Italians were actually dumb enough to try again.

Hi everybody,

This is a short post, as this short film and it’s description below it tells it all, and besides, I admit that I don’t know much about this subject, but I am educating myself.

Hello,

I came across this old Capoeira Angola documentary Yesterday, and thought it was so cool that everybody should see it, so here it is.

I hope you enjoy it.

GREETINGS!

What I mean by the above, is that there’s no capoeira ion what I’m sharing with you here, but there is a lot in terms of revolution, and reclaiming OUR HERITAGE.

Check it out.

Classified X is a 1998 French-US documentary movie written by Melvin Van Peebles, directed by Mark Daniels and narrated by Van Peebles, that details the history of black people in American cinema throughout the 20th century. from the DVD case:

“…the very first thing we must do is to reconquer our own minds. The biggest obstacle to the Black revolution in America is our conditioned susceptibility to the white man’s program. In short, the fact is that the white man has colonized our minds. We’ve been violated, confused and drained by this colonization and from this brutal, calculated genocide, the most effective and vicious racism has grown, and it is with this starting point in mind and the intention to reverse the process that I went into cinema in the first f***ing place.” -Melvin Van Peebles

Melvin Van Peebles, director of the breakthrough movie Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, turns his acerbic 4 insights and acid-dripped humor on Hollywood’s utilization of its sepia citizens. Classified X examines the treatment of .A black characters throughout the history of American cinema. Van Peebles uses examples from classic films beginning with footage by Thomas Edison in 1903 to the present, tracing how Hollywood has aided and abetted the public perception of the African-American down through the years. From its earliest days, Van Peebles says, Hollywood reflected society’s_ fear of blacks and countered with wish-fulfilling images of African Americans as servile, ignorant, superstitious, or untrustworthy. With candor and wit, he explores the institutionalization of racism before Sweetback and afterwards.
