Dear Brother,

Intelectual verocity is one, physical intrution ;finatically another.
While the global experience has been cooking 'piece' from the bottles of
'war'ter;none but the afflicted must take the stance. They have it
in them to sense the intensity of their plight;when such 'croxx' roads
intersect there is enough impetus to embark on the 'Gune'.There is a natural
psychological thermostat that triggers these overwhelming
social response but it has to be either consciously or otherwise set in
motion by the work of 'heart',only by this meeting of the mind eye is the
mines excavated ,otherwise the sacrifices dont get to the
'contracted'many.The impotence is wearing done within the masses not by
'-fear' alone but by definite psychological 'limits'.Some words release the
spirit whilest the Gambinos words and acts 1 2 3 4 5 6 all painfully cramp
the muscles to fly on.Thus the nation is frozen, the leader unconsciously
just the same!
No intent by him, the twist is crafted by the master twister. One needs
tounderstand the mechanisms to free the craft and the crafted Nation!
The West well aware,the north and south all question how?
    The only weird 'bacon' is; when u understand, the twist becomes a cat
and the 'Jack of all trade and master of known' becomes the coputer virus
the mouse.Words of solution terrifies the 'crafty bastard' talk of batching
him nullify his joints in the most intensive tense of that
word pain.This is real.He is worshiping the Gods of yesterday night
in the Africa past, his reward is vision although distorted,he can formulate
the function of a straight line,but anything else is a terrible challenge
for his afflictional vision.
     Spherical discussions pain his minds eye so he has a conditional
reflex action to put out the lights altogether! He will bury alive, he is
very itchy! He will not accept the truth about himself unless he is given a
severe mental beating plus and overdose of 'deminishing grata' conscience
therapy. He need not die,physically, all he need is a one way ticket to the
holyland of Mecca!!!And an honorable seat in the house of mental regret!!
           sincerely yours kalilu karl camara
