What shall we do when our “libraries” are empty–when the place that should house records of our meaningful collective accomplishments is empty? Or worse yet, what shall we do upon discovering that the historical record is a lie, applauding the most despicable among us? Do we clap and cheer the deception, or should we stand [...]
Yesterday, the New Black Liberation Militia announced that they will attempt a citizen’s arrest of George Zimmerman, the white neighborhood watch captain, who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Members of a self-described black militia group will attempt a citizen’s arrest on a white neighborhood watch leader who has admitted to fatally shooting an unarmed [...]
We tend to view our adolescents with an unfortunate double standard–in one breath saying they are too young, yet in another being fully comfortable with them suffering consequences as if they were full-grown adults. We especially see this with the criminalization of our youth. At the same time, we see adults rationalizing with what appears [...]
What do you know about Revenge’s Rival? The idea of justice in the form of revenge is a prevalent topic when you consider the international conflicts taking place in the world. How can a nation claim it has been attacked, when they started the conflict? How can they seek justice for what could quite possibly [...]
It is said that parenting is one of the most difficult jobs a person will face, and likewise, the most important. Sometimes a parent’s desire for respect and discipline leads them down a path of violence and threats of violence to enforce their will. When this happens, it’s not unlike when the police inflict violence [...]
Whether talking about physical conditioning–as in the 2012 London Olympics–cultural conditioning, or psychological conditioning, we cannot ignore the critical role of conditioning in our lives. How we are trained to perform has everything to do with the actions we take in our lives. Heit & Cheri begin this 2-hour version of The Axiom Amnesia Theory [...]
Everybody’s got a porn story, or so it seems. Well, on today’s episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, in addition to bringing you up to speed on the latest in social and political goings on, Heit & Cheri tell you their porn story… Topics discussed include a woman who had two sets of identical twins [...]
So much of life is a popularity contest, with people acting out of the desire to be well-liked, admired, followed, and famous. Often, the most popular among us are the loudmouths who make their voices heard above everyone else’s, regardless of what they are actually saying. This leaves the masses in a category of “nobodies” [...]
When you stop to take a look around at the world in which we live, how can anyone deny that there is a guilty consciousness in our midst? We mindlessly allow those who have the most money, the most authority, and the most power to abuse the least among us. The masses are far too [...]
Ever get tired of the stankin’ smokin’ racists? It seems that we have been programmed to label things as “good” or “bad” solely on the basis of social acceptability, giving little thought to the actual events themselves. How many times have we heard something labeled as “racist” or “sexist”, only to find after closer examination [...]
In the week since the death of Whitney Houston, a lot of things have transpired–the speculation over what led to her death, the Grammys, the public mourning of a music legend, the anguish felt by her daughter Bobbi Kristina, mother Cissy and other family and close friends, the speculations on whether ex-husband Bobby Brown would [...]
Chicago gun violence has found its way to Axiom Amnesia’s doorstep. On the morning of 8/26/2012, Rashad Pratt, Cheri’s brother was murdered in Chicago under suspicious circumstances. Rashad was found in his vehicle by police moments after being shot on the corner of 91st and East End in Chicago. Right now, this is basically all [...]
Doesn’t it seem like the assholes who perpetrate offensives “always get away?” Heit kicks off this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory with an imitation of George Zimmerman, easily the most hated man in America right now. Other topics include an update on the Trayvon Martin case, the Afghan war vet who claims Bank of [...]
“I’ve been to the mountaintop…” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words the day before he was assassinated, seemingly expressing the premonition that his life was nearing an end. Undoubtedly, this expression not only causes one to reflect on Dr. King’s life and principles, but also spurs introspection into our own lives. Have [...]
We are all victims of political theater in one way or another, but we have a choice–either accept media manipulation or think for ourselves. It really is that simple. On this episode of the Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to see through the political theater and manipulation to the core issues with [...]
One of the most important things we can do for our benefit today, and for that of future generations, is to focus on how we “right history.” Too often, we allow ourselves to be portrayed via historical inaccuracies–without protest–or allow ourselves to be written out of history completely. Heit & Cheri begin with a discussion [...]
Heit writes a violent movie script, while Cheri promotes a naked natural body campaign; Age appropriation and MPAA movie ratings are discussed. Heit & Cheri even take on the topics of Penn State, the Army Kill Team, the Stanford Prison Experiment, recognizing aliens, and the woman who died from a 13-year-old bullet wound. Give us [...]
Let’s face the truth–Capitalism equals Classism. If you believe in the system of capitalism, then you believe that it is okay for some classes to “have” their needs met (and then some), while other classes suffer. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to make some logical connections between [...]
Cheri kicks off the program yodeling, much to Heit’s surprise. Heit does an impression of Louis Farrakhan, as an introduction to a discussion on whether bodily functions are voluntary or involuntary. This week’s episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory is dedicated to a call to “ground your stand.” That’s right, we’re suggesting that you figure [...]
How many times must we endure listening to clueless people blame the poor for being victims of the economic policies of the rich? They present it as if the playing field is level, and all poor people need to do is work harder and they can achieve the success that the wealthy enjoy. One of [...]
So many things in our education are blamed on “wild and crazy” kids. But, are they really to blame for responding to the socioeconomic circumstances under which they are raised? Are they to blame for not being able to improve their conditions, when other groups of adults make all the decisions affecting their lives? The [...]
It was exactly one year ago, today, that George Michael Zimmerman hunted down and murdered Trayvon Martin as he attempted to return to the home where he was staying. Much has transpired during this year. Zimmerman was finally arrested and charged with second-degree murder after mass nationwide protests and grassroots media coverage. We’ve also seen [...]
How shall we educate the masses? Surely this is a question pondered by the wealthy elites–how best to create and maintain a system of indoctrination and preparation for the human workforce. In this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri challenge you to think differently about the way you view education and learning. [...]
If you want to feel better about all of the terrible things that have been done by the government, simply “whitewash” your hands the way that history and current events are whitewashed to remove the blood of the innocent. When you re-tell the stories, be sure to only mention the benefits for certain groups, while [...]
On March 21, 2012, the Million Hood March was held in New York City, seeking justice for Trayvon Martin. Participants decided to all wear hoodies as a show of solidarity with the cause of calling for the arrest of George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon. We’ve seen this “hoodie movement” everywhere, including on social [...]
Mental health on the democratic plantation is that of a sick person who doesn’t want to take the medicine and regimen to obtain the cure for their deficit of logic. As a result, we see continuous assaults on logical thinking as a weapon. On this episode of The Axiom Amnesia Theory, Heit & Cheri discuss [...]
Today, it’s all about the tiny humans and young adults. This has to be one of the most oppressed groups within our society. They are acted upon, with little to no control over their own lives. In many cases, they are the victims of the adults who rule the world. On this episode of The [...]
You already know that we ARE citizen journalists, but what’s up with the “illegal” part in the title? Illegal, presumed guilty, and criminal–all titles given to Blacks and poor people in America just for being Black or poor. Apparently we still live in a world where those who are illegal like us must constantly prove [...]
Have you ever been in a spelling bee? Heit & Cheri of The Axiom Amnesia Theory use example of a boy challenged to spell the word “negus” (which sounds very close to the N-word) in 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee to delve into a discussion about cultural bias in US education and beyond. Check out [...]
We’re sure you’ve heard of the phrase “15 minutes of fame,” in reference to the amount of time people who become instantly famous will have in the spotlight. The same holds true for discussion of certain issues. Let’s be honest. Some of these people (and issues) are famous, and some are infamous because what led [...]
