As my daddy used to say, “Man plans and God laughs”; just when you think you are on top of the world you get bowled a googly. Nonetheless, there is a third point to the hat trick: “Man plans, God laughs, but Stoned Crackwhore prognosticates”. When it comes to saying sooth and speaking truth, old Nostradomus is to ole Stone as a one hit wonder like Smiley Culture is to the Mighty Mighty Sparrow. But while Uncle Stoney is channeling Sparrow, all the other bloggers are eating crow. Maybe they should try it jerked (no pun intended Wonk). LOL!

I am not overrating myself; I am just giving you the FACTS. I am quite safe in who I am. It is always easy after the event to say and call it; but were you (anyone) brave enough to go out on a limb, over and over, while being unafraid of risking credibility. That's the point here; and the main point here. I have been in political trenches all my life and in the womb; plus I studied political science and graduated from an ivy league university. It is easy for most folks to put down; but somehow it is difficult to build up or give credit where it was due. Some people need to go back and look at their respective responses to my observations and / or predictions here. It could be quite edifying.

I based my prediction on inside info (I would say no more on this one); plus personal analysis based on observations (something developed over a lifetime of political involvement/activism, and including of a degree in political science-from an ivy-league university that is one of Barack Obama's alma maters); plus dissection of media reports; plus scouring through conventional and unconventional media sources (internet included); plus discussions with many people; plus historically analyzing mainstream media trends; plus analyzing polling info (also in historical context); plus getting reports from the ground/trenches; plus sticking close to the national and regional blogs; plus studying intently Obama's moves and strategies; plus being involved with and close to many of his organizations (members and campaign staffers); ETCETERA; ETCETERA. Believe me when I say that more went into this call. Plus; I risked my credibility as a blogger/news reporter/ journalist/activist/ and such, by going out on a limb to make one of the gutsiest calls ever made in politics here. If you had the dope: why didn't you do it? This was one of the greatest calls (given it was historical) ever made in politics anywhere in this country.

Remember this: very few have the moral courage to support the success of others without envy I started that article first week of November and finished it around the 2nd week. I e-mailed it off to my editors here (and also those at at the Daily Gotham) before Thanksgiving. It got caught up in(and delayed because of) the holiday shuffle. It was posted on Daily Gotham somewhere around Nov. 23rd.(go see for yourself). It was put up on R8 soon after. It was first posted at least 6 full weeks before the primary. Long before any polls showing the race closing etc. It was linked to Daily News blog, Politicker, Politico and many other blogs (check them all for your self) within a few days. BUT: go back (and I hope you do this) to my article (Obama #3)of the first week of JULY. READ IT THEN TELL ME SOMETHING. I DARE YOU. I CALLED THIS LONG AGO. After you do that read Obama #s 1 and 2. GIVE ME MY DUE . BE HONEST AND FACTUAL. NO ONE CALLED THIS PHENOMENON LIKE I DID SINCE ONE YEAR AGO, AND CONTINUED TO CALL IT AS IT WAS EVOLVING.

I never said I DISTINCTLY called it prior to November, except for saying a few qualifying things like (a) if he was totally white (and not just half-white), it would be a wrap (Jan/ Feb. 2007); (2) the only things stopping him from being president are cousins: RACISM- with its octopussian tentacles; and ASSASINATION- either political or physical in nature (July 2007). With those statements in mind (almost a year now in origins), plus the depth,width,length and breadth of all my articles on him (especially the initial 3-part series of Jan, Feb and then July); WHAT THE HELL WAS I CALLING? Didn't you see my thoughts evolving as I researched and developed more info? In November I said I am willing to BET and GIVE ODDS (damn); how deep a call is that? Did anyone even suggest that? NO. NO ONE. NOWHERE. Almost two months out. There were no polls showing him winning when I did this (check for yourself/ ask my editors when I submitted my finished product). Go to the various blogs of those weeks in November. I still haven't disclosed all my reasonning for this call. I also said I wont call NH then; what do you think I was alluding to (go read the "Iowa" prediction again). It was a direct and CONFIDENT call (unambiguous, unequivocal and unqualified). I then called NH and SC ; GEEZE; what else do you want? This was one of the greatest public political calls -given its historical nature- of any political analyst in the history of this country. YOU ALL KNOW IT. If I was WHITE I would get the kudos; but I am not; so I get ragged instead (as usual). If you have read my Obama series, you will see serious analysis, observations and insight offered in a unique way; why is that so hard to admit. That's why I will be gone from here one of these days; there is no fucking appreciation for what I do here. and when i do, this site will be ten times worse than it is now.

And please don’t tell me that Hillary won New Hampshire. Next thing you’ll tell me is that Vince Foster died from self inflicted wounds, when all the evidence clearly shows otherwise:

Now don’t be crying alligator tears. I never said that Billary assassinated either Foster or Obama. Who did I ever label as a murderer and where did I do that? I draw no conclusion as to who pulled either trigger. I just lay out the facts; let others draw up the indictments (though I’d be happy to administer the lethal injections – LOL).

Assuming that you know what I am thinking (and you are wrong by the way); what does it have to do with the truth? The fact is that the Daily News in a spread of many pages, claimed that no one saw it coming (the Barack Obama Iowa victory). THAT WAS A LIE. Again ; go back to my July 8th article on Obama; then go to my Novemeber 23rd article on Obama (this was printed exactly six weeks before the primary). You guys don't understand what a black man goes through every day of the week in these here United States (you just don't get it). If you read my Iowa prediction you will see that I was leaning towards this one also; and if you have been reading my Obama articles you will know this was coming. STOP HATING. I CALLED IT. NO ONE ELSE DID.

I STAND BT EVERYTHING I WROTE. TIME WILL BEAR ALL THIS OUT. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS ABOUT THE NH RACE THAT WILL SOON BE REVEALED. INCLUDING THE COUNT.

Plus folks always question my sources; why? Haven't I proven after over 120 columns here, that my sources are exceptional?

They come up here and find the nerve to call me racist, but have they ever read any of my scores of articles here before they jump to such a conclusion. If they do that first I would then take them more seriously. I am no racist. I just highlight the denial that takes place on both sides of the racial divide. I have never suggested that the color of ones skin makes them less racist than another? You couldn't have read my writings here to say this. I will elaborate on their (Clintons)behavior in another column. This Clinton civil rights thing is a myth and it is obvious that you have bought into it.

BILL CLINTON WAS CONSIDERED AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT BY WHO? Not by any people I know; and I sure don't consider him that. He is a lying power hungry manipulator, who has ruthlessly hurt a lot of people with his arrogance and insensitivity. Wait for my coming columns on them you will see.

I know some would like to se me "STFU" because truth by its very nature is controversial; but it doesn't change the price of coffee. I will never be ashamed of the TRUTH. Hilary Clinton went there (with JFK,MLK and LBJ); NOT BARACK OBAMA; not anyone from his campaign team; and DEFINITELY not me. When I warned you guys in my column that she touched the "HOLY GRAIL" of blacks in this country (and she will be punished), you didn't believe me. In fact you guys attacked me. Now we see the furor it caused. I didn't cause it. I just predicted it will haappen. And I was correct (as I generally am). You guys just don't ever seem to understand these things; that's why you guys attack me here so much. You will never give me my due; you will never give me credit.

These persistent attacks on me are sad; real sad.

To further their arguments they called me: pig, delusional and ignorant. Great. And of course they do it behind their anonymous mask. NICE. Do you know why this is so troubling to them it deals with RACE. Are they having a hard time accepting that a black man can so articulately express a position on this blog as I am doing? I have over 125 columns in my archives here, do go see them. I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION AND I HAVEN"T CALLED YOU ANY NAMES HAVE I? You guys are so predictable; you are the only ones entitled to an opinion. You are free to disagree but are not free to sling epithets. Away with you CAN YOU APPRECIATE THIS? This is DEPRESSING. Truly. WOW!!!!!!! It shows why race just can't seem to be resolved in this country. FACE TRUTHS PEOPLE: FACE THE TRUTH. Hilary started this. Rangel was wrong; stupidity.

Can anyone tell me where in my articles or threads did I call ANYONE (specifically named) a racist? Please name the paragraph, line and verse. NOW people (observers): watch this. Bet you, that- like I have done many many times in the past- these people would be unable to do this. Why? beacuse I called NO ONE a racist. These are the perpetual lying attacks that some of you fall for from my detractors. but then you say I complain too much. GET OFF THE SIDELINES AND HELP MAKE IT STOP.

Whenever I ask any of my detractors here to show where I said the things claimed (paragraph and line)they never respond. WHY? Simple: I never wrote the things they claim. It's the lies I hate here most, from all these anonymous attackers. I don't mind the discourse but damn this is so tired. And to think that one of my biggest attackers here (WonK) says I am not being attacked here. Yoda does it sneakily; Wallner does it regularly; JP well he went way overboard with his lies, threaths and implications (in a column too); there are others with handles who do it also. And of course there are the many many anonymous ones who do it from behind their KKK white sheets. Then someone had the nerve on this thread right now to imply I do it all myself: so I attack myself with stuff like this: STFU (go see). IS THIS ALL BECAUSE I AM THE ONLY BLACK GUY SO PROLIFIC ON THE BLOGS OF NY (AND AUDACIOUS TOO)? COULD IT BE THAT? NAH. I am sure it can't be that. It is never about race; right?

Does anyone really think that a man who has taken on powers and potentates all my life-in USA and Trinidad- is afraid of criticism. Gimme a break. I have been in this rough and tumble world of politics all my life. I have taken on more powerful people than you can ever believe; WITHOUT FEAR. I am no coward and you fucking know this by now; so stop. I have done that (facing down powerful people) here and in real life; over and again. The point that I try to make, that they ignore the TRUTH behind my pointing out these incessant attacks. This is the "typical caucasian-denial" thing that I have tried to point out many times here. That's why I will highlight my successes here over and over. If I beat my own drum: fine; because it is my only way of getting back at all you cowards who attack me from behind the anonymous masks. It's like sticking out my middle finger at all of you hateful, vicious, spiteful and envious fools; some of whom I suspect are racists and are angry at this lil black coconut making these political calls with the high percentage success rate that I own. Now : go away.

I specifically stated from the jump I never called her (HRC)a racist or a murderer -but they said I did. Same for crook, dishonest and such. I laid my argument out and they distorted, embellished and exaggerated my words or points to try to smear me. They also said that it was libelous. Given the many lawyers at the Clinton's disposal do you think I wouldn't have been sued by now; given all the writings I have laid out here for years? They joined in the attack as blindly as bats fly. With each passing day media sources confirm the basic premise(s) of my columns; but they have never been honest enough to say: well, maybe we jumped to judgement and rushed to conclusions. Now we see that the re-count officials are admitting election irregularities. TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO CONCEDE THAT STONED WASN'T JUST SPEWING SOUR GRAPES AND THAT HIS SOURCES ARE GENERALLY ACCURATE. I said "HRC assassinated Obama", with her dirty campaign.

They dislike me because I am a black man who is brave enough to take a public position against gay marriage. All sorts of threaths from anonymous people. enough already. I get the most comments here, and I defend my columns more than anyone else here; and this isn't even up for discussion. I get more comments by maybe twenty times or more my nearest comparitive fellow blogger on Room 8. And yet they make this preposterous claim that I do not defend what I write. WHY? Because I choose too ignore those who try to denigrate me, or those who I find intellectually dishonest. They also hate the fact that I am the most popular blogger here; it galls them. They try to put my writings down in subtle and not too subtle ways. But guess what: they all are so friggin fascinated with the varied stuff I write that they read it voraciously.

I have been targeted on these blogs for years now. So the question became: what do I do in return. I chose to hit back (my perogative); some of you don't like this; fine (your perogative). I also chose to rub their noses in the sand whenever my predictions came true (again my perogative), because it was my only other way of hiting back. If my ego was so whacked as you imply, I would sinply stop writing and not take this abuse; but through calls and e-mails, scores of people have begged me over and over to stay wriitng. I am dissappointed in the fact that you guys see the attacks but close your eyes. You see the truth but yet you close your eyes. They have been ganging up on me here for years. Maybe you don't get it. Question: is it because of my race and/ or ethnicity? I try not to go there but sometimes I wonder.
