Buck Publishing...Worldwide

The business INFOBUCK.COM is an offshoot of Buck Publishing...an idea, which is the mother of all businesses, successful or not. It's called by otherwise generalities, "making the word flesh." However, all ideas must orginate from something or someone, mine from my grandmother's meeting Booker T. Washington as a young child. She advised me to learn to think for myself...teach myself to "fish," and to make my own "loaves of bread"... and never accept a hand-out, when God has given me a healthy mind and two good hands with which to work.

I wanted to write and I did freelance for some publications. I later developed my own printed publication, with proceeds from a little booklet I had written in 1982, and still distribute for one dollar without increasing the cost one cent since 1982. I did take some losses in the trial and error process of growing my publishing business. Therefore, I sought more education...practical book learning, and eventually created my current business in health care technology... which is indebted to no one, and I'm the "HNIC".

The one man I owe for my success in this business world and my life is none other than Booker T. Washington, the man who made an impression on my grandmother, and with that impression I've maintained my being while living productively during this earthly tenure.  I would be showing remissness if I didn't share the wisdom of this man that I deem to be one of God's envoys, so go to http://infobuck.com/catalog.html for your potential path in life.

Addressing A Health Issue...

The month of April was designated a celebratory month honoring "Confederate History" in Virginia by Governor Bob McDonnell. The premise as he states is to increase interest and tourism in the state during that time. Initially, there was no avowing of the history of slavery of its black citizens, as was done in the state of Mississippi by its current Governor. Governor McDonnell after making the announcement, had to do some back pedaling in wanting to overlook the travesty of slavery, but still wants to continue with this historical farce of so-called honor to the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

This deal was made prior to McDonnell's winning the post with what I called "back porch" by keeping the voting public blind to his intentions if he won. I dare say if he had been a straight shooter as he claims, he would've put this issue before all Virginians to see what would come of it. No, he's just another politician...a "conservative" as they like to refer to themselves in the manner of Ken Cuccinelli, in his promoting states' rights, and the rejection of health care coverage for those who can least afford it...the very descendants of those slaves, Bob McDonnell wants to leave out of the history of this state.

In my book, you don't get off that easy with this political con game, be it trying to bolster the state's tourism or its so-called rights. To foist this mandated ceelebration honoring the "sons of traitors" with political trickery, and to try to deny health care coverage to those most in need of it, simply means you have a bigger fish to fry...that's just jumped out of the skillet into the fire.

Due to potential emotional and psychological trauma that may be incurred by Virginia's native black population, I'm asking that a member of the NAACP to ask its black delegate in Roanoke, an attorney, to file an injunction to cease and desist on the grounds of aggravated and unhealthy obligation to black citizens having to particpate and/or observe this otherwise dreadful celebration each April.

I am not sure if this celebration will be subsidized by the taxpayers' coffers, and if so, it makes the situation even more grave. In conjunction, if the state seeks to move forward with this mockery, then a petition for a class-action suit against the Governor and the state to be signed by every black minister within will be circulated.

Think about it...celebrate at the taxpayers' expense, Virginia's enslaving, raping, robbing, and lynching her black ancestors for the sake of tourism???

To Transform...simply amazing

Today, I am watching another film I received from "Netflix" entitled "All the King's Men" starring Sean Penn, who recreates the life of the "Kingfisher" of Louisiana, Huey Long. I commented on Long's legacy a few articles back. What's so amazing is Penn's acting talent to bring this man's persona into existence...an actor able to truly transform...simply amazing.

This can be said of other actors, too many for me to name excepting a few such as Will Smith as Muhammad Ali, Robert Deniro in the Godfather, appearing in the saga with some other well known co-workers of the acting craft, and Denzel Washington as Malcolm X.

They act like great musicians play music, great artists that paint, and of course great leaders that lead...you see it in their results which is almost beyond human capacity. It also runs the gamut for ordinary men who become great dads and family men, and of course we can't leave out that 50% of humanity responsible for these great individuals that dwell among us... the great women in all of the categories I just mentioned. Back to the movie...check it out.

"Roanoke Times" discriminates on health and hiring issues...

My response to Sarah Bruyn Jones, Roanoke Times' reporter for "MedBeat"...a health care blog:

"Ms Jones,

I was hoping you would challenge my business paradigm [http://infobuck.com] in healthcare technology with some great questions. Instead, you simply removed my post from the conversation, in what appears to be a typical act of censoring by the Roanoke Times...a publication that's supposed to represent the overall health of the community. That's why I started my online publication [http://theroanoketribune.com], in order to give a clearer assessment of Roanoke's health...especially with the minority community. If you would like, I can drop you from my e-mail listing and leave your 'racially discriminatory publication' in the sand. Sincerely...

Bobby Buck    INFOBUCK.COM    PO Box 12231  Roanoke, VA 24023  540-985-0618

Bob McDonnell Deceived Black Voting Numb Skulls

As we approach April, 2011 the beginning of a monthly celebration of "Confederate History" in Virginia, to take place annually due to a "back porch" deal made with the Sons of Confederate Veterans; more and more will come to the surface as to McDonnell's chicanery in duping the black numb skulls in Virginia to win the election. It is stated that in an article from the Richmond Times Dispatch, see attachment, that these confederate white Virginians, wanted a month of celebration to co-op Black History Month. This reasoning is typical of David Duke's of the KKK establishing a NAAWP in contrast to the NAACP. The NAAWP stands for the National Association for the Advancment of White People...see what I mean about "stump-jumpin' stupid"?

First, we'll start with one prominent black, Sheila Johnson, ex-wife of Bob Johnson of BET, who deliberately and shamelessly made fun of the Democratic contender, Deeds, in his stammering, overlooking his character relative to that of McDonnell's.

Second, we'll look at Doug Wilder's non-support of Deeds with almost tepid support of McDonnell reducing black voters' turnout.

Third, we'll consider token black delegate in Roanoke Onzlee Ware, who also would not fully support the Democratic ticket carrying Deeds thus low voter turnout among blacks in the city.

Lastly, I ask if these numb skulls had known of Bob McDonnell's "back porch" deal with these "sons of traitors" would they have continued to support by commission or omission these right wing shysters, including Ken Cuccinelli, and his scheme to deny improved health care coverage to those blacks that these numb skulls betrayed?  A lot will surface as we approach a potential "class action" suit by blacks within the state.

Just a bunch of wussies...

Just prior to the the holidays there was all the rage being voiced by right wing talk jockeys for a "government overthrow" because of security checks at the airports. A week after the holidays, there is talk of a revolution by the travelers stuck at the airport, due to being snowbound. This time done by the substitutes of the right wing talk jockeys on vacation, during this supposedly epoch change in Americans...of which the Governor of Pennsylvania described as a "bunch of wussies." 

I assume the TSA is saying in response to this weather assault by "old man Winter"...how you like me now??
