A Measure of Truth

A Measure of Truth

Thank you for listening! I had some issue with the first show as a newbee but I think I got it all worked out.

Michael Fordham I like you show. You made some very interesting points... things I had observed myself. As of now, I have not come across anyone making these things clear. Unfortunately, your program cut out on my computer. I plan to download your show and listen to it later. I am looking forward to hearing your shows.

It seems that the truth has some how lost its appeal. In today's society what really can we say is the truth? Most of what we hear from news sources whether they are TV, Radio, News Papers, magazines and the internet, have been crafted with only one goal in mind. To sell more publications, get higher ratings and grab the attention of more and more consumers. We as consumers have been corralled, misled, polluted, and confused, by the by the media hype and spin-doctor machine until we are too exhausted and over whelmed by the rhetoric and minutia to have the focused attention needed to analyze the facts when the truth finally comes to light. "The story that could be" has become so enticing to the media conglomerates that the real story and a great story no longer resemble one another. “A Measure of Truth” attempts to expose the underlying truth of News Stories that you all have heard before, but gives you firsthand accounts from key players that have not yet been given a voice to tell the facts. These bearers of truth are often forced to wait until the media hype has expired and the back-story, what was in fact the only story, finally comes into vogue. When news and information comes with this baggage, you can only hope for... A Measure of Truth.

    Ayo Handy Kendi is the founder/director of the African American Holiday Association (AAHA) and the CEO of PositivEnergyWorks. She puts on both hats near every holiday season, appearing often on radio, t.v. and in print, offering coping skills as a Cultural Holiday Authority and Breathologist/Certified Stress Manager (CSM), renown as The PositivEnergy Breath Coach Ayo Handy-Kendi, columnist, Cultural Holiday Authority and Certified Stress Manager/Breathologist. Her studies have concluded that holiday stress increases a number of public health issues by 50%, i.e. depression, suicide, substance abuse, domestic violence, crime and violence, workplace under-productivity, accidents. In 2009, the potential for Holiday Syndrome is critical, because of the economy and state of the world. Ayo Handy-Kendi, offers viable solutions during this very vulnerable time of the year, and could possible save some lives. The recent story of 5 year old Shaniya Davis who's mother allegedly sold her into prostitution and was later found dead leaves us to ask some very disturbing questions. "So how and why does human trafficking happen without bounds? First you want to ask, as we all do, “How can a mother sell her child…sell her for sex?”, and while the desperation of addiction and poverty have a role to play, the other question we fail to ask is “who could buy a 5 year-old…who could buy another person?” The heartening reality is that it is the second largest black-market industry in the world, just behind arms and capping that of the drug market, and it is fueled by demand. The market for sex young children exists, in fact it thrives, even in rural American towns." -Cassandra Clifford, Foreign Policy Blogs Network

    Maafa, a Swahili word pronounced "may-AH-fah", means unspeakable horror and is used to refer to the horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, just as Holocaust is used to refer to the deaths of millions of Jews at the hands of the Nazis. MAAFA 21 is a very carefully reasoned, well-produced exposé of the abortion industries, true mission of racism and eugenics hiding behind the apron of the womens rights movement. This documentary proves through innumerable sources that many founders of Planned Parenthood and other parts of the abortion movement were interested in killing off the black race in America and elsewhere.
