KEEPING IT REAL

By Fahim Knight-El

A).Plan of Investigation:

We now live in a society that has entered into a new political, economic and social paradigm, which has evolved along side globalism and the age of information. This transition somewhat had its beginnings with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, which brought an end to the Cold War and ultimately led to the changing of world orders (the Cold War ending would eventually lead to the present day war on Islam being disguised as a war on terror). The United States entered into a series of wars and conflicts in the early 1990s, in particular in Desert Storm and Desert Shield and in 2001 and 2003 beginning with the Iraq War and two years later our invasion of Afghanistan, which has led many of us to believe, that the U.S. had other ulterior motives other than national security interest such as controlling these nations natural resources and establishing themselves as permanent occupying forces in this vital strategic region of the world. Some Americans also believed that Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin-Laden posed an eminent danger and threat to the United States national security interest (President Barack Hussein Obama has been more dangerous to world peace than both George W.H. Bush and George W. Bush). The war on Islam, culminated with the attack and bombing of the WorldTradeCenter on September 11, 2001.

Thus, after viewing and reading about the 9/11 event, which killed of over 3,000 American citizens and our ongoing conflicts with radical Islam and Muslim extremists, it was this event that led me to think deeper about being an American and the question of patriotism (I started question who was really behind the 9/11 hoax and what would be the culprits short term and long term goals relative to the American people, in particular and the globe in general?). This writer believes, that patriotism must be rooted in ones loyalty to something greater than themselves. It first must be tied to a theory and belief that there is nothing greater to uphold than a willingness to pledge allegiance to a God, people, nation, flag and noble causes in which one is even willing to live by and/or die by. This disposition must be undergirded and supported by the embracing of nationalism and are willing to uphold the values, standards, principles, laws, codes of conduct and all that governs our jurisprudence system and our Democracy without compromise. There is no room for treason and betrayal, if our sovereignty is rooted in the fundamental principles of Freedom, Justice and Equality (this would make it difficult for ISIS and/or any other anti-U.S. government entity to appeal and recruit U.S. citizens who are willing to commit treasonous acts, sedition and/or subversive actions against our government, if the government was ruled by the people and was for the people).

This writer, thinks that for real patriotism to exist in America in 2016, there must be a level of tolerance, that is taught on the primary school levels (and continued to be infused on the secondary levels of education) in which young impressionable minds are exposed to the diversity of cultures, races, nationalities, religions, etc. Also, alleviate the negative stereotypes and propaganda about people who may differ from us (yet I am not optimistic that we will ever achieve a pluralistic or multicultural society, because of white supremacy) and allow the American people to have a dissenting voice and create more avenues where ideals, thoughts, opinions, beliefs and differs of philosophy and views can be freely and openly debated not just in the ivory towers, think tanks, corporate media, and in the halls of congress, but on the grassroots level. People need to know and understand why we should and/or should not back our government foreign policy agenda (in particular, if it's deemed reactionary and tyrannical) and is it worth risking our lives in the name of false flag waving by suiting up militarily and going to foreign battle fields to fight for causes that are in the interest of the Super-Elite (these U.S. soldiers are only being used as tools of U.S. Foreign Policy) and those who control the systematic tentacles of Western Capitalism—many U.S. soldiers are haunted upon returning back home to the U.S. (plagued with PTSD) and once they discover the truth they become politically disillusioned; their patriotism is often shattered and brought into question after witnessing the injustices being inflicted on innocent civilians in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia (wars are never fought in the interest of the poor and the have ‘nots’ they are fought in the interest of the Invisible Rulers). The teachings of civics and social studies have to be improved to reflect that we have entered into a New World Order, that is more dangerous and volatile than when the Thirteen Colonies fought the Revolutionary War against Great Britain, Civil War and when the Founder Father set down in 1787 and finalized framing of the United States Constitution.

The so-called war on terror and terrorism have to be an intellectually engaging conversation whereas there are objective critical analysis being rendered (not persuasive propaganda giving to mislead the American people and the globe) and allow the American people to determine whether, we can embrace and trust that our government and nation has provided us with all the facts relative to the true motives behind these induced wars and conflicts. Until the U.S. Government does this, they do not deserve to have our un-daunting loyalty to uphold, defend and protect the United States Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies. This can only take place, if we begin educating young people on matters of Homeland Security, U.S. Patriot Act. Military Commission Act, National Defense Authorization Act, Anti-Terrorism Act, etc, and how the U.S. Government has created a police state (which is slowly moving us closer to Martial Law) in the name of national security interest in which has absolved it citizens of civil liberties (the American citizens have lost most of their Constitutional rights and they do not even know this because of the power and influence of the dummying down process ). They have rendered the U.S. Constitution as a useless piece of paper and have covertly rewritten the fundamental basis of our jurisprudence and the original constitutional standards of law. It is our duty and obligation to reinspire our citizens to study the brilliance of the Founding Fathers and the Framers of the U.S. Constitution and in doing so, it will this possibly reinvigorate a new generation of patriots, that will have no interest of becoming an enemy combatants or joining onto America's enemies, but will serve as true U.S. Patriots and defenders of righteousness. They will be more interested in upholding the freedoms that were initially guaranteed to all so-called Americans based on law (now, we have been subject to the rule of a Shadow Government). Thus, if we adhere to the above there will be no more need to administer oaths and swear-ins, but our loyalty and patriotism will forever be rooted in our hearts.

The religion of Islam was placed at the center of the world stage after September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City in which sixteen (16) of the nineteen (19) alleged hijackers were Saudi Arabian nationals (a so-called U.S. allied nation), as well as being Arab Muslims. However, this investigation will mainly examine whether or not the aftermath of the 9/11 crisis created an atmosphere of hatred, bigotry, discrimination, harassment, prejudices, racism, etc., aimed at Muslim Americans and did it lead to Muslims and Middle Easterners (as well other Muslim ethnic nationalities) being unjustly and negatively stereotyped based on their faith tradition, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc. My examination of this subject was to consciously make every attempt to move away from the political and the theological arguments and controversy associated with Muslims and Islam in particular, the ongoing disputes that the West has with so-called radical militant Islam and the so-called War on Terror. Nevertheless, my research at times will briefly mention some of the historical and ongoing antagonisms in order to clarify a historical period, but will not give lengthy analysis in this direction, which could lead to a compromise of objectivity, because of the emotionalism that has been garnished on both sides of this issue.

However, the 9-11 incident is more of a recent phenomenon, therefore, it must be viewed from a contemporary analysis more so than from a long standing historical contention that has withstood academic scrutiny and time. This writer thinks, that it will be years and even decades before historians (and/or social scientist) can completely assess and historically evaluate this event from a political, economic and social perspective by using all the available data and drawing a reliable hypothesis by which to truly determine what happened on September 11, 2001 (all the facts are still not-in); however, one thing for sure we cannot trust the evidence presented in the 9/11 Commission Report. And the impact 9/11 incident had on the

United States of America

and the globe (perhaps no other recent historical event has shaped this new paradigm and simanteously created a new normal as did 9/11). My research admittedly will be narrow in scope and lack a complete comprehensive study in which my investigation will just focus on stereotypes (racism, discrimination, lack of tolerance, etc., aimed at Muslim Americans) associated with the aftermath of 9-11 in which the mass mediums reported that the alleged culprits behind this devastating event was so-called carried out by militant and radical Muslims. Many believed they (Muslim terrorist) had a political agenda of destroying

America

and disrupting our monetary system.

B). Summary of Evidence:

Prior to the 9-11 incident there were quasi historical tensions already in existences between Muslims and the West—the

United States

and Europe had divided the world up between whom they deemed ‘good Muslims and “bad Muslims”. Moderate Islamic states such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and even Iraq were by the West standards considered to be good Muslims and yet, there were Islamic states such as Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.,[1] who were deemed rogue nations and part of the axis of evil. And the so-called ‘good Islamic states” were reflected in the United States foreign policy and in how U.S. foreign aid, military assistance, and humanitarian assistance were dispensed and these nation had more accessibility to immigration (and was immune from being labeled and propagandized of being involved in state sponsored international terrorism and this kept certain Arab States from being imposed with U.S. and U.N. economic Sanctions and embargoes). Yet, foreign tension between the

United States

and the Muslim world continued to be acerbated by the U.S. unbalanced foreign policy interest [2] which had been evident for some time relative to the Islamic world. The former Iranian President Ayatollah Khomeini called the

United States

the ‘Great Satan’ and journalist Salman Rushdie countered Khomeini's demonizing rhetoric towards the U.S. with his book titled, Satanic Verses. These type war of words in my opinion, led us to the door step of 9-11and eventually to ISIS, as well as, the long standing conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis in which many Muslims believed that the U.S. Middle East foreign policy was lopsided in favor of the Jews. The United States and the West has picked a fight that ultimately they cannot win, because they believe that those deemed U.S. Enemy Combatants (the U.S. internal enemies) had to be radicalized by some extremist militant Islamic cleric and fail to accept that Islam is unlike any other religion in the world what drives them is injustice. Here is a people that loves death more than they love life, and its two billion of them around the world [3].

Thus, even the media reporting of these various Middle East conflicts between the Shia and Sunni sects, which depicted acts of violence where as radical militant Muslims were killing their own people (some of this reporting was always shrouded in disinformation and propaganda in which to make it appear that the Muslims are lawless and barbaric people), but beneath the religious and political strife and schisms was an overriding rhetoric signifying a deep hatred for the

United States

and the West (and lets not forget the fact that the CIA has always served as the chief instigator in the Middle East affairs). The

U.S.

(under President George H.W. Bush) in 1990 and 1991, also went to war with

Iraq

and Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War 1 (Desert Storm) over issues relating to

Kuwait

[4]. And later in 2001 the

U.S.

was engaged in another war in

Afghanistan

(with another Muslim country) with the so-called Taliban and Osama Bin-Laden. These wars became a public relations nightmare for Muslims and Islam, in particular but also to the West in general, this has led to the United States being engaged in wars in that region of the world for over fourteen years that still has no clear cut objectives (the U.S. has been seeking to end these deployments for the last seven years since Obama took office but to no avail and we have steadily witness an increase in military build up and has become a burden to U.S. taxpayers). Yet, it has always been bothersome to me in how the western media were reporting these conflicts in which again in my opinion, created psychological negative stereotypes in the minds of many American citizens that Islam and Muslims were at war against the American people and that they had a political vendetta to kill, disrupt and destroy the American way of life[5].

Many Americans have never heard of Al-Jazeera Television (Middle Eastern, Islamic, Arab, etc., network that reported Middle Eastern news outside of the perspective of western journalism) and their opinions of Muslims and Islam were not being shaped and molded by biases western media sources[6]. Thus, before the 9/11 tragedy there was an initial attempt to blowup the WorldTradeCenteron February 26, 1993 eight years before 9/11 with the objective of killing innocent American people and causing massive collateral damage.

This failed plot was led by Ramzi Yousef and five other co-conspirators, which was deemed a terrorist attack using 1,336 pounds urea nitrate–hydrogen gas enhanced device that eventually failed but did not ultimately meet its intended destructive objective of so-called mass murder of American citizens, but did kill six people and wounded over a thousand.

These various Arab and Muslim Jihadist became the poster boys ofAmerican enemies and the images would later play a huge part in desensitizing the American people relative to whether or not Arabs and Muslims after 9/11 were being protected by the United States Constitution and judicial system from discrimination, racism and stereotypes. Many Americans, as the United States Government were willing to overlook the legal rights (due process), civil rights, the United Nations international accords and all other systems of jurisprudence in the name of combating so-called radical extremist Islam or terrorism that had ventured onto shores of

America

. These sentiments were often in violation of

U.S.

law, but were being justified under national security concerns. Some United States citizens did not care that Arabs and Muslims were entitled to due process under the 14^th Amendment to the United States Constitution (however, after 9/11 they had a lockup and throw away the key mentality).

Former Congressman Curt Weldon of Pennsylvaniain his book titled, Countdown to Terror stated: “Civilization is at a disadvantage in the war on terrorism, as it is always harder to build than to destroy. Sixteen centuries ago the Roman Empire fell to barbarian invasions. Rome, with its cities, aqueducts, roads, and far-flung commercial empire, became a victim of its greater economic and social sophistication. The barbarians could sack cities and pull down aqueducts more easily than the Romans could rebuild them. Terrorists are the new barbarians. These new barbarians are far less numerous than the barbarians of old, but hold the possibility of far greater power in their hands because of the existence of WDM.

America

’s highest priority must be to defeat the new barbarians. If we want to avoid the same fate of the Romans, we must stop the next, possibly catastrophic terrorist attack against the

United States

”[7].

C). Evaluation of Sources:

Behind the Backlash: Muslim Americans After 9/11 authored by Lori Peek (Professor of sociology at Colorado State University) was published in 2012 and it probably would be classified more of a sociological study that looks at how various sectors of society respond to mass emergencies and disasters. But right after 9/11, she interviewed 140 Muslim Americans and others who gave telling testimonies in their own words about the harassment, violence and discrimination they experienced as Muslim Americans post 9/11[8]. Thus, in her interviews Muslims all shared a central theme of feeling scape-goated and unjustly blamed for a crime that they did not commit. Yet, she also pointed out that many Muslims were unjustly being labeled terrorist and this negative notion justified these various acts of discrimination that were aimed at innocent Muslim Americans. These prejudices after 9/11 led to Muslim Masjids and Mosques being attacked and desecrated, because there were so many cultural misunderstandings that existed between Muslim societies in East and Christian societies in the West after and before 9/11 incident. These misconceptions were shrouded in ignorance and fear based, which was enough ammunition to incite the uninformed and dominant culture zealots who were motivated by racial and religious hatred to inflict vigilante style justice on Muslims and made unfair generalizations against all Arabs and Muslims. Professor Peek gave this marginalized sector of our society a voice during an extreme time of intolerance and to expose the danger of allowing the pendulum to swing to far to the right. Thus, blaming an entire Muslim religious world community for committing a crime that killed over 3,000 Americans was wrong—and many Muslim Americans were very much sympathetic to the victims of this horrid crime that constituted a loss of human life and property.

Thus, according to Peek cultural ignorance and discrimination led to vigilante groups rising up and coming against Muslim Americans (seeking to become judge, jury and executioner), but they immediately began to show their ignorance by attacking and even killing Sikhs and Hindus in the United States assuming, because these people had brown skin, dressed in Eastern attire appearance, spoke with an accent and wore turbans, that they had to be Middle Eastern Arab Muslims and better yet terrorist. Sikhs and Hindus were mistakenly being racially and religiously categorized as Muslims and after 9/11 became targets of religious and racial discrimination and bigotry that were being fueled by the dominant culture. Many of the vigilante attackers were not even aware of the historical and religious antagonism that existed between Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, but their racism and cultural ignorance that led to indiscriminate acts of violence against innocent people who became the victims of hate crimes (bigotry) and culture insensitivity[9]. Peek stated: “Never before had Muslims been subject to such overt hostility from so many different corners. Not surprisingly, violent outbursts and discriminatory actions followed: Civil Rights organization recorded thousands of incidents of anti-Islamic and anti-Arab harassment, hate crimes and vandalism in the months following 9/11. In addition, to the attacks on Muslims and Arabs, public anger was directed at other religious and ethnic minorities who were mistakenly identified as ‘Middle Easterners"[10].

Arabs and Muslims in the Media: Race and Representation after 9/11 (Critical Cultural Communication) authored byEvelyn Alsultany. Alsultany points out that post 9-11 human rights should have been the main focus of scholars and politicians alike, but the media created a reactionary view of Arabs and Islam that was shrouded in propaganda. She maintained that media images of Muslims, Arabs and Islam shown on television dramas and cinemas often systematically fed into the western stereotypes and in which the portrayals of Muslims in the media catered to the ignorance and emotionalism of the dominant culture in which 9/11 had created. Her analysis included assessing Hollywood and television shows (the programming) according Alsultany either covertly or overtly negatively lacked telling the story and exposing the American people to the diversity that existed inside of the Islamic culture and did very little to debunk the old and new stereotypes that Muslims were ‘terrorist’ and were involved in acts of terrorism against the United States of America. Alsultany overall thesis desired to hold the media to higher standards and denoted that the major corporate mediums had an equal responsibility to offset the false and negative images that Muslims and Arabs were bent on terrorism by portraying other positive aspects of Muslim culture and lives in media. She believed that this may would have created more of an objective look at Muslims by the dominant culture post 9/11, as opposed to the reactionary hatred that spoon fed harassment, racism, violence, bigotry, discrimination and fostered a culture of intolerance[11]. This writer does agree with Professor Alsultany that media is a very powerful tool in shaping and molding public opinion, but I think she is a little idealistic, if she thinks western journalism is going to accurately and objectively tell the Muslim side of the story. This writer thinks she understands that we live in a political culture of propaganda and some believe that Muslim American were systematically being scape-goated for a crime that had levels of suspects and deceptions.

She stated,“after 9-11 the news media and public alike seemed eager to debate, and to disagree about, about the manifold issues and anxieties unleashed by the terrorist attacks: whether the U.S. PATRIOT Act should be passed; whether Arab and Muslims should be racially profiled, detained and/or deported; and whether or not the extent to which, it was justifiable to suspend or violate the U.S. Constitution during a time of crisis. Political conservatives often argued—both in the harrowing days after September 11 and in the months and years following—that it was not possible to be both safe and free, that freedoms must be inevitably sacrificed in the interest of safety and security. These same critics typically argued that racial profiling was a reasonable and necessary method of law enforcement”[12].

D). Analysis:

This writer, is of the opinion, that one cannot fully understand the negative stereotypes that some Americans had towards Muslim Americans in relation to the 9-11 attack that had unjustly killed over 3,000 people at the World Trade Center in New York City unless one understood the long standing historical race relations and dynamics that have existed inside the United States of America for over four centuries between white and non-white people before this tragedy occurred.

Our nation was founded upon racism and we do not have look any further than the genocide of the ‘Native Americans and Chattel Slavery[13].’ Racism is often the fuel that light and drives stereotypes—racism is best defined as: “the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races; prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior[14]”. It is often this social phenomenon that breeds negative stereotypes and lead to discriminating against people who may racially look different than the dominant culture, practice a different religion, and/or subscribe to a different set of values, mores, folkways and view culture totally outside the dominant Western concepts of culture[15].

The September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City was immediately declared by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Department of Defense and the State Department as and act of terrorism carried out by Osama bin Laden and his Jihadist inspired movement of Al-Qaeda, which committed one of worst military tragedies and alleged criminal acts ever committed on the continental United States—Bin Laden was considered to be Muslim and Arab (these variables alone were enough to incite American style ignorance). It did not help the Arab and Muslim cause viewing that Bush, our commander-in-chief and his administration had espoused a web of political propaganda, which they intentionally induced and created a climate of fear within the

United States

that reverberated around the world. President Bush was even quoted as saying ‘you are either with us or against us’[16].

The

United States

media had depicted Arab Muslims as having a political and religious philosophy bent on destroying the West and had declared

America

as so-called being the number one enemy of Islam. The Powers-that-be understood that in order to maximize their manipulation of the propaganda; they first had to create a culture of fear by blaming 9/11 on Arabs and Muslims (and their so-called Al-Qaeda terrorist network which has quietly justified their present day war on Islam) in their media schemes, this was a perfect diversionary tactic—they chose a people who were different from the American dominant cultural with a minority representation inside the country and was essentially powerless. The American people pre 9/11 knew very little about the religion of Al-Islam and the diversity of these ancient people, the religious politics, the various Islamic cultures, the various Islamic sects and schisms, etc., in which these variables were being naively overlooked[17].

But also there were rightwing conservatives and U.S. politicians and clergy as well as others who had a much different and a more sinister interpretation about blaming the allege culprits (in their minds these so-called culprits only had to be Muslim, practiced some form of Islam, and looked Middle Eastern in order to be blankly indicted by rightwing conservatives as terrorist) and felt in lieu of our national security interest, it was necessary to put in place laws, polices, rules and enactments in order to combat terror (Muslim discrimination was not at the forefront of their argument and the new vision they had for America post 9/11 did not include the U.S. Constitution)[18] and civil rights groups such as the American Civil liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center legally sided with Muslim Americans in many of these incidents and cases. Some of the language the rightwing conservatives were spewing was deliberately being used to incite our ignorance and fester stereotypes against Muslims and Islam (in my opinion this was dangerous territory, because it was beginning to compromise our civil liberties and without doubt tingling with violating the United States Constitution) —just because a person looked Middle Eastern, spoke Arabic, attended religious services at a Mosque, dressed in traditional Islamic garbs, etc., it was wrong to discriminate. But in the cesspool of cultural ignorance, it did not matter to some, that each American had constitutional rights in spite of their religious orientation, nationality or race (First Amendment Rights). However, the aftermath of 9/11 created a hostile, insensitive and intolerable environment mainly aimed at Arabs, in particular, but all Muslims in general, they were being viewed with suspicion and Muslim discrimination was going unabated.

E. Conclusion:

This writer,is of the opinion, that after the ending of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1989, it created another “Cold War” that became ‘hot’ (our politicians do not want to publically admit this but the United States, the United Kingdom and France have declared war on Islam) due to lingering historical and culture misunderstandings between the United States and the Islamic world, which had been steeped in suspicion, mistrust, betrayal and political and religious apathy. The allege perpetrators of 9-11 attack were Muslims and Arabs this alone stirred some of the American people into believing that Muslims and Arabs even inside America had declared war against the United States of America in which the media and the government were creating a climate of fear based on propaganda and enactment of public policy.

Tariq Ali in his book titled: The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads, and Modernity Stated: “The necessity to explain these reactions does not mean justifying the atrocity of 11 September. It is an attempt to move beyond the simplistic argument that 'they hate us, becausethey're jealous of our freedoms and our wealth'. This is simply not the case. We have to understand the despair, but also the lethal exaltation, that drives people to sacrifice their own lives. If Western politicians remain ignorant of the causes and carry on as before, there will be repetitions. Moral outrage has some therapeutic value, but as a political strategy it is useless. Lightly disguised wars of revenge waged in the heat of the moment are not much better. To fight tyranny and oppression by using tyrannical and oppressive means, to combat a single-minded and ruthless fanaticism by becoming equally fanatical and ruthless, will not further the cause of justice or bring about a meaningful democracy. It can only prolong the cycle of violence.”20

The immediate backlash became acts of discrimination, violence, harassment, racism, unfair stereotypes, etc., were being aimed at Muslims and Arabs as being blamed for the horrendous act of 9/11. They became victims of vigilante style justice and widespread hate mongering by the dominant culture (i.e., there were statistical spikes in physical assaults against Muslims, defacing of Mosques and Masjids, negative media portrayals that Muslim American were involved in terrorism) and one Christian Pastor even talked about burning Qur’ans in Florida as an act of detesting Islam and Muslims—the United States Government increased surveillance and sent agent provocateurs to spy even on ordinary Muslim American citizens. Yet, I do think that the U.S. Government had some legitimate concerns relative to national security issues and this variable was difficult to overlook, but this writer cannot accept or justify any sector of our society being unjustly discriminated because of race or religion.

Debate: Clandestine Masonry Talking Points

By Fahim A. Knight-El

This Blog was very interesting, in particular how it came about and the way that I answered these questions within this debate might even give the appearance that Brother Knight-El had totally flip-flopped on the issue of regular verse irregular Freemasonry in which I have always tried to be objective and open to this conversation. Although, most Prince Hall Masons will automatically denounce black non-Prince Hall Masons as being clandestine and it has been a divisive unsettling argument for centuries with some of these various Masonic entities and groups. But this clandestine Mason and/or a clandestine sympathizer decided to push the envelope with me and I have had previous dialogues with this brother, but on this occasion he seemed to have wanted to challenge me on Prince Hall’s legitimacy and their historical affiliation with the United Grand Lodge of England.

Thus, I was minding my own business and was actually working on an entirely different Blog when Brother V.R. came knocking; I really thought that I had exhausted the regular verse irregular Masonry topic over the years, I had written numerous previous articles dealing with clandestine and regular Masonry and once again I had no intentions of writing anything else on this subject (I am really sick and tired of this argument). Brother V.R. had all these questions and comments, but I felt like his line of questions lacked objectivity and appeared to be bias and he also appeared to be a little irate about Prince Hall Freemasonry being in disputes with black non-Prince Hall Masons, as it pertained to Masonic recognition and he felt that it was wrong that Prince Hall Masonry had an unwillingness to sit down with Black clandestine groups who some were three, four and five lettered Masonic groups.

Bro. V.R. argument was not a new argument, it was the same old argument, that black non-Prince Hall Masons have historically waged against PHA, which they have consistently denounced Prince Hall Masonry for having a recognized charter issued by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and they argue against the credence of PHA being recognized by a white Grand Masonic body and they believe that PHA flaunt this Masonic European standard as a heavy weight when viewing other black Masonic groups that have not been recognized by white folk. Now, as I have stated above, just reading my words and position from the lens of this debate, some of you might argue that Brother Knight-El has in deed flip-flopped on some of his initial positions on this issue, but I really just took the antithesis side in this debate, in particular to exposed how flawed Brother V.R. argument was when it came to discussing the topic of regular versus irregular Masonry.

He desired that we as PHA Masons should overlook Masonic linage and authentic charters relative to the importance of being sanctioned and commissioned by a competent Masonic Grand body having legal Masonic jurisdiction to empower them, however, to overlook this would be a gross error of immeasurable proportions. This is the basis of all Masonic ‘regularity’, which is being duly legal, constituted and legally chartered these factors and variables cannot be overlooked, nor can you get around them and in larger scope cannot be negotiated.

Bro. V.R.:“Brother that is very unfortunate and sad. Before anyone ever uttered a degree I thought we were all brothers. You know I am almost certain that had these organizations been white, the problem would not exist. Clandestine or Illegitimate so says the white man”.

Bro. Fahim:“Yes Sir, remember, we were systematically rob of the knowledge of self and made into Negroes and it is an uphill battle to get us reconditioned to fall in love with our people and ourselves. The dispute between Prince Hall Masonry and other black non-Prince Hall Masonry is a microcosm of the African American problem when it comes to unity amongst our black leadership and black organizations. It is rooted in the psychosis effect of Chattel Slavery and the Willie Lynch Syndrome. But this is why I work so hard to impart solid information in pursuing the truth. It is not just a Prince Hall Masonic problem, it is a much deeper problem rooted in all the above. Most of us love white culture and have adopted European value systems, in which Dr. Carter G. Woodson wrote about this in 1933 in his Book titled, The Mis-Education of the Negro.”

Bro. V.R.:“What I don't understand is that you know this and you won't acknowledge a four letter. Has a PHA ever sat in any four letter lodge to actually see what they do or is it more "Well England said they ain't doing it right so they ain't doing it right?" Don't you think a sit down between the two is long overdue brother?”

Bro: Fahim:“Peace Brother, yes I do agree, that it is long overdue, but we have to be very careful who we should recognize as a Masonic organization and/or as a legitimate Freemasonic entity. Let me remove race as a variable, thus, the bigger question is the determination of legitimacy of those black non-Prince Hall Orders (and by what standards are we going to use)—when viewing four lettered or five lettered Masonic organizations relative to regularity. For example, lets also remove the United Grand Lodge of England recognition from the equation as a variable, meaning let's take white folk out of the equation as well. The question still remains whether or not a four lettered Freemasonry group has a legitimate and legal charter due to be respected and accepted by other regular national and international Grand Lodges. We argue there must be some legal criteria in order to determine and assess who will be considered for the status as a "regular" body of Masons. Now, we have to defend and protect the integrity of our Craft, if not phony and bogus Masonic renegade groups will continue to pop up (with questionable charters) with an objective of duping potential brothers who might be seeking to make a petition to join a lodge. Many of these black non-Prince Hall groups, they only find it politically expedient and conveniently to raise the question of race as though Prince Hall Masonry is practicing reverse discrimination against them. What is missing in these groups’ arguments, is they are not Black Nationalist either in philosophical intent nor by mission statement, but when it is convenient they want the public to perceive them as such. Their motives are rooted in opportunistic jargon and really do not want us to question and scrutinize their Masonic lineage and origin. This is the real issue hidden behind all the overt and covert controversy”.

Bro. V.R.:“Here's the thing about removing white folk from the equation... YOU CAN'T. Last I heard, they are the ones who give charters. Now from what you tell me is that your lodge is right and exact. So the GL in Englandsays that you are practicing your craft correctly, based on their criteria. With that said, how is it that a three letter PH mason cannot walk into a 4 letter lodge and observe if they are practicing the craft correctly. Don't they have white masons from the south, who are legit, that don't speak to any Black mason. God is logic missing in masonry?”

Bro. Fahim: Peace: “Good Brother, no white folk are not the only ones that grant charters. But historically speaking Prince Hall did receive a legal warrant and/or charter from UGLE in 1784 to operate as African American Freemasonry lodge # 459 (this was just a coincidental event in the history of race relations between black and white people during the 18th Century—the slave was viewed as powerless and the slave master was seen possessing all the power) that transitioned into African Grand Lodge # 1, it was just a historical fact that this traveling white Irish Lodge #441 raised Prince Hall and fourteen other blacks of African descendent to the status of Master Mason. Every Masonic charter must be based on Masonic jurisprudence to have some legitimate acceptability and/or you can just go over to Kinkos and draw up some Masonic documents that looks officials and claim that these are "regular" Masonic documents. But we will question, assess and evaluative those documents to see, if this lodge and its Grand Lodge is sanctioned by a recognized and legitimate mother Grand Lodge, and we will determine, if your charter was granted under a competent Masonic jurisdiction (and should we inter into Masonic intercourse with this body of Masons). So our argument is not exclusively tied to the white United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) serving as "Grand Bubba" over international Freemasonry. But once again remove them as I stated previously and lets look specifically at the origin of your charter and show and prove that your charter has legal standings and is accepted worldwide, if you cannot do this that will make your charter illegal and clandestine. Prince Hall Masons can walk into 41 states (Masonic Jurisdictions) within the continental United Statesand will be received, accepted and recognized as legitimate Freemasons, but there are nine historical southern Confederate states that still have not recognized Prince Hall. Many of these Black non-Prince Hall Masonic groups have no legitimacy with mainstream Masonry and find it conveniently to blame PHA for their woes (just show me the charter and resolve this matter). It is not whether or not you are practicing the Masonic rites, rituals and sacraments, etc., properly (you can get most of that from the Internet) the question still remains are they duly and legally chartered (or are they bogus?), Moreover, many of them are not seeking black Masonic unity, they are trying to squeezed through door by failing to meet the legitimate charted criteria.”

Bro. V.R.:“G, so being legitimate is based off of what? Being granted a charter by a grand lodge based off of what criteria? 9 states still don't recognize PH and its 2016. No one says anything about it? So do I have this straight. . . A GL will give a charter to a lodge and it will be legit right? What's the criteria for granting a charter?”

Bro. Fahim:“Peace: you are wrong about your assessment there are PHA scholars including myself, that have condemned the United Grand Lodge of England relative to this Masonic contradiction. I know you are a smart brother and I believe you understand white supremacy and it relations to black people. There are white and black churches in the south right here in the United States of America in 2016, that are still segregated and some white churches will not allow black membership or worshippers, but these racist actions, we dare not make the same social comparison, that we draw in the black and white Masonic debate. Lets say there are over 100 white churches across the deep southern bible belt that do not permit African Americans who are Christians membership into their houses of praise and worship, how hypocritical is this? However, as Christians our belief in God, Jesus and the bible is not predicated on whether not some white Christians still do not find us as a race of being worthy of fellowship with them and/or seek to deny us Christian brotherhood (many black churches and parishers just keep it moving). Yes. every subordinate lodge must follow the landmarks of Masonry and must have a mother origin relative to their Masonic linage of their charter. The Grand Lodge itself has to be duly legal and regular edit and their historical linage have to be traceable and verifiable by some grand body of competent jurisdiction. If not that Masonic Order will be labeled clandestine for now and forever. It does not matter how you might attempt to characterize Prince Hall Freemasonry, it is a legal, regular and constituted Grand Lodge with a verifiable Masonic linage. Now, there is no one that has been more critical of my organization (PHA in particular if they have been on the wrong side of an issue than me) and I have publically wrote and documented my points of disagreements even relative to this conversation that we are having. But I stand by Prince Hall Masonry being a legitimate Masonic entity. We will not embrace any black bogus or white bogus Masonic Grand Lodge. I have debated Prince Hall Masons and black clandestine Masons (the clandestine Masons, I ordinarily ask them to give me the legal history of their origin and charter and that will determine a lot about how the conversations goes). Furthermore, you cannot justify a black clandestine Masonic Order who is conveniently playing the race card by echoing that Prince Hall has a white authorized charter and they do not like us because our Masonic charter was initiated by a black man. Lets prove your contentions and if we meet on the level, Square and Plumb these are the Masonic criteria that we use and we refer to "Mackey's Jurisprudence" if all else fails. What do you think?”

Bro. V.R.:“Honestly I think that if Christians did not let someone of color based on the color of there skin then they are not Christian. So if a Mason doesn't want you in his lodge based on the same thing then his not a mason and that lodge should be shut down, but the powers that be haven't shut it down. That sends the signal that what they are doing is okay. You talk about lineage. Don't all lineages go back to England? If your brother is doing something wrong why would you not correct him? If he is in masonry for personal gain I understand why he is shunned. If in his heart he wants to make himself better then shouldn't three letters step in? God it only seems that masonry is based on lineage. Have you ever witnessed what a four letter lodge conducts?”

Bro. Fahim: Peace: the more explicit analogy that I was drawing and pointing to was how white supremacy has impacted not just Masonic institutions in the United States, but even our religious institutions (yes intent of what makes a Christians is not the arguable point with me but the level of criticism should be equitably dispensed, but this does not define the legitimacy of Christianity). Prince Hall whether or not 9 white southern States Grand Lodges have denied PHA as Masons in reality have no bearing on our legitimacy (thus even prior to full so-called UGLE recognition in 1995); Prince Hall had declared its sovereignty in 1784 and had functioned as a separate Masonic entity from Caucasian Freemasonry. But historical linage relative to the origin of a Grand Lodge will never be overlooked by Prince Hall Masonry. I have visited four and five lettered Masonic organizations that was recognized of having legitimate charters and were considered to be regular Masonic entities. Yes, their ritual work is very similar to our lodge work as three Lettered Free and Accepted Masonry. Yes, Masonry is rooted in linage and that is not going to change. If not any fly-by-night clandestine groups will be popping up and using Internet books and knowledge and Kinkos manufactured charters and often these bogus groups start selling factious degrees and they pose a great danger to the credibility of Freemasonry in the

United States

Bro. V.R.:“I'm simply referring to lineage because at one time you had argued this case. I believe your argument was something like "Who gave the power to the GL in Englandto sanction anyone." Yes it was something of that nature. If anyone is bogus you should know by action and not by name. You've changed your stance on this a little. But I see your point somewhat. If it's so bad you PHA should shut PHO down.”

Bro. Fahim: “Peace: Brother, no. I have not changed by position or stance nowhere in this discussion relative to my initial position and stance on the United Grand Lodge of England; I said then and now, that I have no respect for white Masonry and UGLE, that has always been my position and always will be my position. But what is different in this conversation, is that I have expanded my approach specifically to draw out of you what constitute clandestine and irregular Masonry (your argument appeared to be more of rationalizing and totally overlooking the importance of Masonic linage and charters) and I did not want you to recklessly overlook the most important pieces to the legitimacy of a Freemasonic institution, which is historical linage and the origin of ones Masonic charter. Thus, there is no other evidence more essential and valuable to establishing if a Grand Lodge is duly legal and has authentic documentation to prove that it has been empowered by a competent jurisdiction. Once again, if you removed race as a variable that will not dismiss the fact that you must have a legal and sanctioned charter other than one that was printed at Office Depot (and we conveniently state that it was granted by a black man as though that is enough to claim legitimacy and simultaneously denounce PHA for having a white granted charter—I do not think so). So I have not changed my position, because I will always remain an advocate of black Masonic unity even with non-Prince Hall Masons, but none us believe that this course will be easy and yes part of those discussion will evolve around origin of linage and charters in order to move forward, if nothing else in the spirit of operational unity and establishing a covenant. If these talks were to take place some black bogus Masonic groups would perhaps be dismissed immediately and determined to a fraud and we will not seek recognition with them. Now, this is my personal opinion and I have argued this in my writings on John G. Jones a founder of a black Ancient Free and Accepted Masonic organization, which has been in existences over 100 years should be allowed to enter into an agreement with Prince Hall Masonry, if nothing else based on longevity and accepted as a regular body of Masons. I think the entire controversy of the National Compact and Prince Hall Origin and Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry is just to complex for me to decipher at this time.”

Bro. V.R.:“What exactly happened with Mr. Jones? Was it that he got expelled as a mason so that meant ever lodge he started after that was bogus? Is this the case? I'm sure some of your PHA bros countered your argument with "Longevity don't count. You can be clandestine for a long time." Lol. It is what it is G. While I was writing this email I asked a 4 letter if 3s and 4s get along now. He said that's been squashed for 4 or 5 years. We're from the south so I wouldn't know how it is were your at. I also asked an older older 3 letter PHA raised in Washington. He said there wasn't an issue. What exactly happened with Mr. Jones? Was it that he got expelled as a mason so that meant ever lodge he started after that was bogus? Is this the case?”

Bro. Fahim: Yes, John G. Jones was a former Prince Hall Grand Master of the State of Illinoisandby profession, he was an attorney who was expelled for un-Masonic conduct. It is too much to discuss, but some of his controversial can be Google. But it is sought of a contradiction, because the PHA shriners the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine rituals were established and written in 1893 by John G. Jones and Rolet Pasha in which, although he was expelled, we still recognize his name and still use his ritual work in the Shrine Order. Jones had a number of high profile violations that went against Prince Hall codes of ethics. Yes, theoretically every lodge he founded thereafter, would be considered clandestine and irregular; he claimed to have received a Masonic charter from

Romania

. Brother John Hairston, a PHA brother that I debated on my Blog is the authority on this. Also, our Grand Historian out of New York Brother Ezekiel Bey have written and exposed Jones Masonic legitimacy. But personally speaking I still think we should move beyond this in particular with this clandestine group.

Bro. V.R.: "You can be clandestine for a long time." Lol"

Bro. Fahim:“Yes, you will be clandestine because of the illitimacy of your charter and those will always remain as the valid Masonic rules in order to function as regular Masonic entity your charter and linage has to have legal validity”.

Bro. V.R.:"It is what it is G"

Bro. Fahim: That's a true logical outcome relative to this conversation.

Bro. V.R.:“While I was writing this email I asked a 4 letter if 3s and 4s get along now. He said that's been squashed for 4 or 5 years.”

Bro. Fahim:“This statement is not true nor is it factual, we have not officially squashed any of this controversy with black clandestine Masonry in the United States. I will admit that there are different racial attitudes relative to the terms conservative and liberalism (geography dictates these private held positions). PHA Masons and black clandestine Masons have no formal agreement, but within Freemasonry there is the Southern Masonic Jurisdiction and the Northern Masonic Jurisdictions in which the latter is a lot more social inclusive and there are a set of different norms and attitudes with brothers up North and this has allowed for more of a passive coexistences between PHA and black clandestine Masons in particular and Masonry in general, in the northern regions of our country”.

Bro. V.R.:“Bro. V.R.: “Aside from our "lineage" conversation, if you walked into your lodge today and told your brothers that the Black Man is God, how would they take it? Could you be kicked out of masonry for a remark like that?”

Bro. Fahim:“No, if he stated that the Black man was God he would not be kicked out of PHA Masonry, I personally was raised on that contention and I still believe that the black man is God and I am still in my lode and in good Masonic standings. If a Mason claim his personal Deity to be the black man, he will not get shun for that belief. There is no doubt in my mind based on white supremacy, they systematically colored the scriptures an associated the Divine with being white skinned and of European Caucasian origin, but I know these were lies designed to make himself superior and people of African descent inferior. Yet, I still believe that we should not allow these clubs, fraternities, sororities, and oath taking organizations to keep us as a people divided; I will always be for a black united front in spite of our political, economic and social differences.”

Bro. V.R.:“Hmmm. Something in me wants to cross and give back to my community, but one rule is you must believe in a higher power. To me that higher power is potential ever man has, it's the refinement a man goes through to become his higher self. I'm not sure this logic would make it in a lodge. Could you shed some light bro?”

Bro. Fahim:“Peace: Brother, everyone that petition a PHA lodge must believe in Deity and/or in a Supreme Being. This plank gives the potential brother candidate a wide range and philosophical freedom to express these things as they see fit relative to free thinking. We teach that Freemasonry is a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols (this is the true definition of Speculative Masonry). But Masonry rest on three basic principles—morality, friendship and brotherly love. Thus, the question was posed on the 1st degree of Masonry to me: Where were you first made a Mason? In my Heart. We pride ourselves in making good men, better men”.

Bro. V.R.:“Am I correct in thinking you got 120 before becoming a mason? I hear people don't talk about religion in the lodge but if you go York Rite you do...”

Bro. Fahim:“Peace: I am going answer your question this way; when one refer to the 120 degree Lessons giving by Clarence 13 X Smith (or better known by his followers as Father Allah) this automatically connects one to the teachings of the Nation of Gods and Earths (Five Percenters). I have never been a member of NGE, but I am a student of knowledge and I have always respected the NGE teachings. But I have always pride myself of being a seeker of 360 degrees of knowledge in which this view has led me on a journey to many paths and the journey has assisted me in my search for truths and wisdom. There are no degrees higher than the three blue lodge degrees and the Master Mason degree; yet there are auxiliary and Appendendent Orders such as York Rite Masonry or Scottish Rite Masonry (we called them climbing Jacobs latters in Masonry). Yet, one on the outside always confuses the so-called higher degrees such as 32nd degree or 33rd degree as being superior to the Master Mason or third degree it is not superior—the degrees in the upper houses should be viewed laterally and not vertically relative to power and knowledge. I going to stop right there”.

KEEP ON DANCING CAM NEWTON: SPORTS AND RACE

By Fahim A. Knight-El

America is never going to change, when it comes to African American people and although, Cam Newton has transcended so many things, but being black in America disallows us to transcend racial stereotypes and discrimination—we still live under the rules of modern Jim Crow. It does not matter how great we are, they expect us to conform to the rules of white supremacy in order to be accepted within the good ole boy and good ole girl clubs, you have to change your voice, how you dress, what you eat and quietly embrace white culture and this will get you that big contract, Madison and Fifth Avenue advertisement deal—trust me I get that and we should exploit those markets, but not at the expense of our manhood and our identity.

I am a black man and I am proud to be a black man—I am educated have some money not a lot and yes I got some Ghettos in my family, we all do (hell I am by-product of Ghetto sociology and psychology and I am not a shame to admit it) but it is all about who we are and the black experience.

I do not eat pork and not much fried food, but when I get with my family, we are going have some fried chicken, collar greens, fried fish, potato salad and someone is going to bring some beer and some liquor (and one of my brothers, sisters or cousins are going to yell out let this damn party begin) and for desert a sweet potato pie.

Now, some whites do not have a clue about black culture, we also are going to have some good old school music and good new school music and like Cam we are going to dance and celebrate the occasion (that is ordinarily how we celebrate the Super Bowl and any other festive event, but for us African Americans this Super Bowl is even more special, because we have a black quarterback sitting at center stage).

My point is Cam Newton, is part of the black experience he is connected to our collective struggles as a people and I think it is unfair that the white media keeps besmirching him because of who he is—he is from the Hip-Hop culture generation and we should allow this young man to express himself without being vilified. Newton shows his philanthropy spirit by each touchdown he scores, he takes the ball and give it to a kid in the stands and most of those kids that have received those balls have been white children. But I guess that does not count.

I am dire heart basketball fan, but of recent years I have become a huge football fan. I just like Cam Newton’s approach to the game, but I think my seventeen year old daughters likes him a lot better than me (damn it she is fascinated with Cam and when he comes on television daddy do not get any love, it all goes Cam’s way). I think my wife to is a secret admire of Cam also.

Yes, I have become a Carolina Panther fan over the years mainly, because of Cam Newton being a high proficient black quarterback who is a phenomenon athlete who was a former Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn University and has won on every level. But often athletes transcend sports based on the political and social culture we live under (Cam is doing this in his own way).

But lets be clear Cam Newton is not the first black quarterback to play in National Football league (NFL) and in the Super Bowl. Perhaps, some of the younger audience on Facebook and social media have never heard of Doug Williams out of a little black school named Grambling State University (SWAC—HBCU Conference) in Louisiana that has turned out some top black football players in the past and where the legendary coach the late Eddie Robinson coached what seemed to have been like a century and perhaps might still be the most winning college football coach of all times. Doug Williams won a Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins and I can remember the scrutiny that Williams was under as a black quarterback.

The white dominant culture has started to say some racial hate-filled mean-spirited things against this young black quarterback Cam Newton, because he dares to be different, thus, race is always a variable and those who are the beneficiaries of what social critic Tim Wise calls white privilege once again is seeking to dominate how the world views this young gifted and black extraordinary athlete (here is a kid who stands about 6 foot 6 inches and weigh about 260 pounds in which he is bigger than some defensive ends and moves like a cat). He has the skills to stand in the pocket, or get outside the pocket and/or beat you with his legs (he is actually a triple threat quarterback).

Let me remind you all he is not the first black athlete to dance in the end zone. I am older enough to remember Billy “White Shoes” Johnson of the Houston Oilers and Deon “Primetime” Sanders (a two sport athlete) they put on mere concerts in the end zone. But for some odd reasons Newton’s dancing seems to offend some white people. Their notion of offensiveness is rooted in white racism and historically black men had to play the roll of being docile and accommodating to the white power structure (perhaps it is these norms and values that still governs their attitudes towards black men).

The symbolism of Cam Newton’s dancing, it is a sense of personal expression and I do not need boss to tell me when and how in the hell I am supposed to celebrate. Now, Cam Newton is not a social activist, he is not a Curt Flood or Jim Brown (the Hall Famer and former Cleveland Brown running back who has always stood on issues of social justice); Cam is not Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale (Black Panther Party) and he is definitely not Muhammad Ali one of the greatest athletes of all times who viewed himself as a militant social activist. Ali openly stood for social justice and was willing to the pay the political price.

Cam Newton is not a member of the 1968 American Olympic Athletes who during the awards ceremony in Mexico City Games where the three black tracking and field stars raised their black glove fist in a black power gesture in solidarity of the Black Power Movement that was taking place in America.

Yet, I am not surprised of the racism and bigotry he is experiencing thus, look at what has taking place with America’s first black president in Barack Obama—our brother has been disrespected although he holds the highest office in the world (even his disrespect is rooted in American style racism) so Cam Newton is in good company. Many of you might remember that at one time in the National Football League, they said that the position of quarterback was reserved for white players only, because they said blacks were not intelligent enough to master the playbook, read coverages and lead the team.

Nevertheless, James Earl Harris, Randal Cunningham, Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Steve “Air” McNair (Alcorn State—HBCU), etc., proved the racist critics wrong, that in deed we had the intelligence to be the signal caller. Cam Newton will prove them wrong this coming Sunday when he demonstrates not only his superior athletic ability but his superior intelligence as a black quarterback. So white folk and black folk put on your dancing shoes, because Cam is going dance the Carolina Panthers to a Super Bowl win, and my favorite Cam Newton dance is the twist (I think Jackie Wilson and James Brown would be proud of Cam's dance steps).

ANGELA DAVIS: THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES

By Fahim A. Knight-El

I wanted to share with my Blog audience my recent thoughts on meeting the former Black Panther Angela Davis and give you all an update on a most powerful event that took place at North CarolinaCentralUniversity(yes my wife and I alma mater) in Durham, North Carolina on February 10, 2016. NCCU made us as alumnus very proud last night by inviting Dr. Angela Davis one of the most provocative Black Power theoretician and revolutionaries of the 20^th Century (her militant and revolutionary credentials speaks volumes about her social activism and her rise to become one of best known faces and voices of Black Power Movement in the 1960s and 1970s). She was once a political prisoner charged with many capital offenses in the state of California and was facing death row; her political experiences with the state, police and the judicial system was no different than the type of persecution that George Jackson (Soledad Brothers) and Geronimo Pratt experienced as militant and radical freedom fighters.

Davis speech gave us a brief glimpse into her mindset; she stated that she became radicalized at age two. The North Carolina Central University students are putting on a speaking series that is called Rock-the-Mic (Ajamu Dillahunt-Holloway a student activist is an example of how good our future looks like) and perhaps it is taking place in conjunction with Black History Month in which they hosted the former Black Panther Revolutionary sister Angela Davis as one of the premier keynote speakers for this month.

She reminded us that the Black Panther Party is celebrating their 50th year anniversary in 2016. Perhaps our greatest female entertainer of recent years Beyoncé who as part of Super Bowl 50th (held in Santa Clara) half-time entertainment show had sisters dressed in leather and in formation of how Blank Panther Party used line up as paramilitary organization and she has been criticized by the white corporate media for being insensitive towards the police, in particular citing the Panthers antagonism towards the police. Thus, from their perspective Beyoncé was making an unfair political statement—I applaud this young entertainer and we should support her as an artist for having the right to creatively express herself even if is making a political statement.

Rudolph “Rudy” Giuliani, a reactionary racist who was part of the internal conspiracy that led to the bombing of the World Trade Center and the restructuring of how the One World Government is being carried out today; he should have been charged with the mass murders of 3,000 human beings in the 9/11 hoax, a front man for Larry Silverstein and the Hidden Hand. Yet, this criminal walked away from this high level deception and crime unblemished. The former mayor of New Yorkjust about accused Beyoncé of inciting people against the police and pretty much said she needed to stay in her lane as an entertainer and this reactionary pawn has been leading this negative and critical charge against the entertainer Beyoncé.

I will say this, I do not think Beyoncé understands the political dynamics nor does she understand how the world works (naïve would be an understatement), but her husband Jay-Z does know a lot about his history and culture and he himself perhaps is either a closet member and/or sympathizer of the Nation of Gods and Earths (the Five Percenters). Nevertheless, by me understanding the political and theoretical values of this group whom at times have aligned and embraced black nationalist politics and ideologies, it was easy for me interpret where and how Beyoncé’s show came about. Jay-Z was publically seen wearing the NGE medallion (and there is little doubt in my mind the Black Panther skit probably was orchestrated and came from the mind of her husband Jay-Z who is a lot more politicized than his wife Beyoncé).

Giuliani's type rhetoric is not only reactionary, but it permeates with the mood and present day era of the United States Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and the Enemy Combatant laws (embodied in the long arm of Homeland Security). His reckless commentary stood as an assault on the First Amendment Right and it is meant to further expand the United States assault on our basic civil liberties as American citizens.

Dr. Davis speech allowed my mind to shifted immediately to the founders of the Black Panther Party Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale—who decided early on to make a difference (in my dorm room as a college student most students had pictures of athletes such as Julius ‘Dr. J’ Irving, George Gervin, David Thompson, Wilt Chamberlain, Lynn Swann, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Irvin 'Magic' Johnson, etc., in my room I had huge posters of the Minister of Defense, the iconic picture of Huey P. Newton sitting in that chair with the gun belt and the pump rifle, I also had a picture of Minister Malcolm X with depicting his famous words "by any means necessary", a picture of Muhammad Ali stating hadn't the Vietcong called me Nigger and hell no I will not go to Vietnam" and I had this picture of the black bald headed General of the Nation of Islam Dr. Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad on my wall.

Yes, I would expose my student peer group by teaching them about the value of revolutionary politics, because these said black leaders changed my mental paradigm and my worldview—as a young college student at NCCU, I no longer was interested in just being an ordinary Negro who was walking around campus lost to the knowledge of self. Newton and Seal were young students when they founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense on the West Coast in 1966 (thus when I was a college student at NCCU, I was considered to have been a radical and militant student activist).

I and Dr. Reverend William T. Barber (North Carolina President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) were students and classmates at NCCU together; he was the Student Government Association president. Thus, even as a student Dr. Barber was engaged in political and community activism (he loved Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his approach to civil rights and integration and I equally loved Minister Malcolm X—El-Hajj Malik Shabazz who was a fierce revolutionary Black Nationalist). Dr. Barber and I as students would have these political and intellectually engaging conversations about the plight of African American people and even when we disagreed both us believed in social justice and we found common ground around issues involving social justice.

A couple a years ago Reverend Jesse Jackson, a so-called progeny of Dr. King and graduate of North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, NC was speaking at NCCU in which my wife and my daughter and I were leaving the program and Brother Dr. William Barber motioned to me and at that time I had not spoken with him in some years and asked who was this young lady with me and I said she was my daughter. He stopped and he started telling my daughter about our political experiences at NCCU as students and he also told my daughter that he wanted to thank me, your father for his militant and non-compromising positions, because his political positions encouraged me and better helped me to redefine my role as a civil rights activist (my daughter said wow, dad I did not know that as a student you were engaged in cultural, political and social agitation). This became a teachable moment and I immediately gave her a charge to stand up for the causes of African American people and told her she has a responsibility to be a drummer major for justice. Lets continue to train our young people and give them the activism tools to stand up against white supremacy and injustice. This also was the essential message of Angela Davis last night (the sad phenomenon is 50 years later in 2016 we are have the same conversation that led her into a movement of activism).

I have digressed a bit, but listening to Dr. Angela Davis speak last night and sitting at B.N. Duke Auditorium the spirit in the room was overwhelming and it was not deja-vu, because no doubt, I had been in this same auditorium many times before as a student, but her message immediately resonated with me, because as she spoke I realized that hadn't to much changed over the years since I sat in this auditorium as a student. She mentioned that she was a by-product of HBCUs in which her father was a graduate of Saint AugustineUniversity in Raleigh, NC and mother was a graduate of MilesCollege in Birmingham, Alabama.

Davis speech had many themes, but as much as she was one of the prominent political faces and voices of the 1960s and 1970s radical left it was not a total speech of personal historical nostalgia, although, I would have loved to heard more about her relationship with militant revolutionary such as Kwame Ture (Stokley Carchmichael), Huey P. Newton, Elaine Brown, and Eldridge Cleaver, but she kept her talk more on present day relevant themes such as wealth disparity, the impact of the prison industrial complex in which the United States as an industrialized nation has the largest prison population in world. A little over 2.5 million people according to the United States Justice Department are in U.S. prisons, but there are another 5 million prisoners who are under some type of court, probation and/or judicial restraints. She maintained that large private prison industries have created a Wall Street Market and the United States Government has systematically ‘commodified’ inmates (human beings) and has politically and socially created the environment for mass incarceration of black men.

Dr. Davis at times within her speech, it was evident that her political worldview was shaped by socialist Marxist ideology, in particular when she stated that all public education should be free (I was sitting right behind the chancellor and some of the university staff as she made the statement and I was trying to determine their pulse) and she criticized the U.S. and global class structures as being an antagonistic contradiction and she furthered her Marxist interpretations by hailing labor and describing the present day attack on labor unions as being reactionary and outrageous (the only Marxist language she missed was analyzing history strictly as continuous war between the Lumpenproletariate and the Bourgeoisie).

I said to myself that the Black Panther Party who started out as a Black Nationalist Organization eventually transitioned into a new type of organization in the early 1970s who had moved further to the left by embracing the Socialist model and many of the Panthers leadership begin to use the Mao Se Tung (Red Book), Karl Marx and Frantz Fanon political analysis, which to create a new language and ideological approach in this once Black Power movement in their quest of confronting U.S. imperialism and colonialism. They started to see the world from an economic determinist perspective and even at expanded their political alliances by embracing progressive white allies, which was a clear departure from their initial Black Nationalist disposition.

Dr. Angela Davis embodies these various political experiences and it is understandably that she seems to vacillates philosophical between being once a young activist who came to age to age in the 1960s and 1970s (but not allowing herself to become entrapped totally in the greatness of yesterday’s struggle but realize that we have even more struggles today) and at her age she seems to view the struggle more as an insightful intellectual and academician, but this statement should not be interpreted that she has relegated her struggles against white supremacy, police brutality, state supported racism, classism, etc., to being transformed into some idealist armchair revolutionary. Dr. Davis is a black activist woman who is in her early 70s, but is still very much passionate about the liberation of black people and still has the will to raise a voice of opposition (by speaking truth to power) against the various power apparatus that dominates the social, political, and economic plight of humanity.

She condemned the fact 90% of wealth is the hands of 1% of the population who represent the super elite and understand that humanity's destiny is tied to bankers and capitalist interest in which poverty and the imbalance of resources impacts humanity's quality of life relative to obtaining adequate housing, adequate education, adequate health care, etc. She condemned U.S. capitalism as an evil system disguised as a democracy in which has created societal disparities. She lean and gave a more of political nod towards the political position of the Independent presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, because he understands how devastating the bankers and the U.S. corporate sector has been as parasites. But I think she questions whether not he understands how destructive white privilege and how systemic racism is in America, which has led to the present day racial climate and the police killing innocent black men is a mere symptom of this problem—the people have organized through groups like the Black Lives Matter Movement and she would like know where Sanders stands on matters of dealing with race.

Dr. Davis stated that we have moved towards a very dangerous paradigm and has transitioned us into a police state and she called for a demilitarization of the police departments and she also called for disarming everyone as a solution to ending and curtailing violence (stating there are more guns in our American society than people). She stated that racism and police brutality were the same issues that confronted the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and she challenged the audience to go back and re-read the Black Panther Party "10 POINT PLAN" and stated the points are still relevant today in 2016 explicitly implying that haven't too much changed since the 1960s.

She continued throughout her speech to connect the present day black youth movements such as the Black Lives Matter movement by viewing these young inspired visionaries as being progressive and represents a continuum of activist freedom fighters who have sought to fight injustices and became organized, which led to a galvanization of a new generation of freedom fighters working in the tradition of Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Fredrick Douglas, W.E. Dubois, Paul Robeson, etc. Black Lives Matter Movement must be analyze and critiqued within the context of today’s political, economic and social climate. Frantz Fanon once wrote and said in his book Wretched of the Earth that each generation has the duty and responsibility to make revolutionary history by reviewing the history before them (they will either confirming it or betray it).

But they are not obligated to use the same strategies and tactics of previous comrades, but they do have an obligation and duty to review the past struggles; either to confirm those principles and tenets as being valid or determine them as being flawed. Only history will provide us with the proof that an organization or movement has met the standards of being classified as progressive and worked in the interests of the people’s revolution. And yet simultaneously, it also, allows us the ability to analyze them to determine if they were reactionary and contradictory and will have a counter-revolutionary affect on the present day struggle and must be dismissed. Time dictates the methods of struggle and as much as the Black Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s taught us, we have to measure its successes and failures relative to how effective those same strategies and tactics would be in organizing progressive movements today.

I commend these young black people for being bold and courageous in daring to confront the white supremacy police state and was willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause of black justice. They took to the streets in Ferguson, Missouri and demanded justice for the wrongful death of Michael Brown at the hands of a reactionary racist police department. Fredrick Douglas once stated, if you cannot do anything, but agitate the enemy, let that be suffice. I like these young brothers and sisters because they did not want to hear anything being said by these sellout and handkerchief head Negro leaders and preacher (they are always sent in by boss to keep the masses calm and under control and toting that Bible).

She applauded those young activist who in Florida whoafter the murder of Trevyon Martin became organized in order to brining public attention to the police arrest and convictions of black men and the unjust disparities in the criminal justice system that have always been rooted in race and class. Also Davis continued to applaud the black students at the University of Missouri where students, underpaid workers, professors, and the Missouri football team stood in solidarity against systematic practices of racism on that campus, which led to the firing of the university president and she further applauded the young activist in Ferguson, Missouri for their courage (and reminded us that she had just left Spain and there were people in Spain imitating our culture and was inspired by black U.S. Hip Hop artists--cultural and political linkages) and stated that the Palestinians on the West Bank and on Gaza Strip who has been in a 68 year war against Zionist reactionary forces and they were one of the first international group to stand in solidarity with the black people in Ferguson.

The Black Lives Matter Movement represented a new spirit and a generation that wasn’t going to take injustice lying down anymore and most of all, had no ties to the established Negro leadership (interpreted to meaning they could not control the temperament of the movement and make no mistake about it, it was hot). However, Black Lives Matter Movement came about almost like putting the cart before the horse (the political chain of events called them into action i.e. police brutality) and the movement, is in its early infancy stage in which leadership and direction are not well defined and the organizational theoretical and philosophical piece, is a work in progress (it is just to early to be judged and to attempt to determine what its future mission is going to be). I do like their zeal for activism and some of these other things will eventually work itself out. The enemy will always seek co-opt progressive movements in order to control its direction and may be some of this is already happening inside of Black Lives Matter Movement.

She characterized the present day liberation struggle as a continuation of the abolitionist movement and maintained that although we think of this movement as being 18th and 19th century—lynching and slavery transitioned into new forms of oppression and degradation, which is mass incarceration of black men. She gave a list of former Black Panther members who are still political prisoners and have remained incarcerated since the turbulent 1960s and many have languished in U.S. prisons for over four decades. Dr. Angela Davis also cautioned us about the new U.S./Cuba diplomatic initiatives and although she praised this new foreign policy course—she reminded us that our sister Assata Shakur is still considered on the F.B.I most wanted list with a 2 million dollar bounty hanging over her head, she stated we have to find ways to protect and defend Assata Shakur.

The potential of removing Shakur’s protected exile status in which the Cuban Government has provided her with for over four decades would be unthinkable. Moreover, anything other than this position could jeopardize and compromise her international protection from the long arm of the United States Government. This would be a political travesty for the former U.S.prisoner of war by potentially allowing the U.S.government to take international legal custody of Shakur and further allowing her to becoming a political casualty of the new U.S.and Cubaforeign policy. This would be an act of political betrayal and would not represent the long term commitment and relations the nation of Cuba and Castro have had with revolutionaries and political prisoners from around the world. Thus, forty years later, she still would not get a fair trial under the United Statesjurisprudence system. Lastly, African Americans and all people of goodwill should be lobbying the United States Government and petitioning President Barack Obama to issue Assata Shakur a presidential pardon and commute her sentence.

MULTI-DEMENSIONAL POLITICAL AND GLOBAL OUTCOMES

By Fahim A. Knight-El

I think that enlightenment and awakening are the highest forms of human evolution and these two lofty positions of elevations challenges us to be able see ourselves and the world from multi-dimensions and not allow propaganda and disinformation to lead us to the slaughter and hopeful obtaining truth will further move us as individuals and as humanity beyond our Sheepel status, which has been preordained by the forces of evil. Humanity must awake from our slumber and challenge this recklessly political, economic and social course that is being driven by those bent on creating a new rulership (or slavery). I found a paper in my library on the Club of Rome, it was an analysis pertaining to the mindset of Dr. Aurelio Peccei and I do not know if these words that I am going to quote from this paper were extracted from one of his books written titled, Human Quality (Pergamon international library of science, technology, engineering and social studies) that was published in 1977 and/or his book titled,Chasm Ahead , published in 1969.

Peccei stated: “The solution to these crises can be developed only in a global context with full and explicit recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate, among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resources allocation system. . . The futility of narrow nationalism must be appreciated. . . Global issues can be solved only by global concerted action. . .A world consciousness must be developed by which every individual recognizes his role as a member of the global community. . .A keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that fundamental changes will have to take place in the world order and its power structures, in the distribution of wealth and income, in our outlook and behavior.”

The invisible chains have already been put in place in which they are using social media, music, education, religion, pop culture, GMO nutrients and various dummying down processes to master and control the thinking of the entire globe. Someone has to be willing to speak truth to power (when we awake from our slumber, which pill are we going to take the red pill or the blue pill). Some of us have come to see the light and have chosen enlightenment over darkness. Enlightenment comes about not just through books or obtained intellect through life experiences, although these variables do play apart, but the path to enlightenment is rooted in the universal order of good and it becomes a way of life (is humanity willing to surrender to something greater than our fragile egos).

Humanity is suffering, because of the absences of love and it has created an imbalance on the planet. Love does not allow for starvation, poverty, and want—it should move us to fight and challenge wealth disparities in order that all of humanity can share in the bountifulness of mother earth. There is no selfishness associated with love, it meets everyone with open arms. We were taught self-hatred and were robbed of the ability to love ourselves, women and our children—so we the people of African decent and in particular, those living in the Diaspora must first be taught how to love ourselves; moreover, this love must be taught through our history, culture and heritage in which to eventually get us back to the true principles of universalism that encompass love. Our love in this day and time must be RACE FIRST. Raise the RED, BLACK AND GREEN.

I know that Minister Louis Farrakhan does not agree wholeheartedly with Donald Trump. But Minister Farrakhan was interviewed by Alex Jones a few weeks ago in Chicago and did make some conciliatory political statements towards Mr. Trump, but we should not take nor view those comments out of political context. Minister Farrakhan likes the fact that “the Donald” is not a life long politician and although he has said some offensive things towards Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, etc., Farrakhan sees Trump as the lesser of the many evils embraced by the Hidden Hand agenda candidates on stage—Democrats and/or Republicans. He took a similar position when Ross Perot ran for president (1992 and 1996).

Farrakhan knows that all these candidates are controlled (pawns) by the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg and the Trilateral Commission. Minister Farrakhan also knows that our vote and the electoral process doesn’t mean a damn thing in which the president of the United States is SELECTED AND NOT ELECTED and the next commander-in-chief has already being chosen by the Roundtable and he/she has taking their oath to never betray the Invisible Rulers and only to serve as a front-man to keep this 1% Dynastic Family rulers hidden and empowered (these things are oblivious to most Negro leaders, but the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad know these things). Farrakhan likes the raw unadulterated approach that Donald Trump brings to the campaign and not necessarily endorsing the 'Donald' for president or supporting Trumps overall political planks.

Donald Trump being elected to the office of president is not the answer to our problems as black people and most white people do not understand that his wealth is only an extension of Henry Kissinger and the Hidden wealth holders; Trump will continue working in the interest of the superrich and the wealthy and he will only acerbate the wealth disparity that exist between the ‘Haves and the ‘Have nots.’ Thus, he is an Elitist billionaire and will continue cutting deals with those hidden entities that rule

America

and control the Globe. Hillary Clinton, former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State, a life long Democrat, who along with her husband William Jefferson Clinton has been very good low Level Operatives to the Invisible Rulers and have also catered to big business and Wall Street (all the presidential candidates are tied to Wall Street). It has been reported that Goldman Sachs has paid Mrs. Clinton over $650.000 in one honorarium to deliver a speech (perhaps that is the going rate for these calibre low-level operatives), but the logical questions has to be what has she signed on to and promised these type international bankers for this type hefty money (I will tell she has signed on to be the best lobbyist in shielding the bankers and putting forth and passing public policy that supports the international bankers interest, if selected to sit in the Oval office).

Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Bernie Sanders, Mark O’Malley, etc., all of them are low-level operatives and pawns. It was President Bill Clinton and his public policy that helped dismantled America’s corporate sector by destroying the United States workforce and markets by creating cheaper international markets and outsourcing business opportunities to so-called “Third World” and “Developing Nations” (he also destroyed programs that were geared towards aiding the poor). He lobbied to get the North American Free Trade Agreement passed and theGeneral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)passed designed to manipulate and exploit Latin American labor and export American jobs and business South of the Boarder (they also have had their eyes on oil found on Mexico sovereign territory and Canada has found more oil further up in North America). Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton are premier political opportunist, if she becomes president, she will only use the Oval Office as a big bully-pulpit to foster her and Bill’s self-interest, thus creating more economic opportunities for the former President Clinton’s Global Initiative project.

This writer thinks this era between 1925-1936 became once again heightened and volatile with the rise of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party (actually properly called the National Socialist German Workers' Party) being voted into office in 1933 and also reentering the international scene was the Italian Fascist Benito Mussolini. These warmongers were moved by the quest of patriotic nationalism and quest to recreate Europe, in particular Germanyand Italyin general, as dominant military forces. Many Germans felt that the Treaty of Versailles had unjustly robbed Germanyof its sovereignty and its right to self-determination.

Fast forwarding, but after the Cold War ended in 1989, it left the United States and Europe in an international and political flux; this would eventually lead to the establishment of the European Union (the first step towards creating white global nationalism), which was created to booster the European Common Market and, the Bank of England and the United States Federal Reserve Systems realigning themselves to recreate global markets (designed to control and value world currency--these alliances back fired because China has emerged as a world superpower) that would plicate the One World Government agenda in which Islam would become the new patsy. They needed to create new enemies in order to sustain and expand Capitalism, because the truth of the matter is Capitalism was a dying system. They systematically initiated the war of propaganda against Islam—mischaracterized Islam as a terrorist faith bent on destroying the West and used propaganda and disinformation to create a new enemy in the minds of the American people and the world. They staged 9/11 and the bombing of the WorldTradeCenter and staged the so-called collapse of the United Stated and Global economy in 2008. This was used to only intensify the War on Islam and create a new level war economy.

The United States entered into a series of wars and conflicts in the early 1990s, in particular in Desert Storm and Desert Shield and with the Afghanistan (2001) and two years later the Iraq War (2003) these invasions have led to many of us into believing that the U.S. and her European Allies (France, United Kingdom, Spain Germany and Israel) had ulterior motives other than national security interest such as taking over these nations natural resources and establishing themselves as permanent occupying military forces in these vital strategic regions of the world. Most Americans believed that Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin-Laden posed an eminent danger and threat to the United States national security interest. This culminated with the attack and bombing of the WorldTradeCenter on September 11, 2001 (President Barack Hussein Obama has been more dangerous to world peace than both George W.H. Bush and George W. Bush). Yet, they awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize for nothing other than being the first black president.

Thus, after living through the 9/11 hoax and critically studying this event, which killed of over 3,000 American citizens and our ongoing conflicts with so-called radical Islam and Muslim extremists, it was this event that led me to begin to think deeper about being an American and the question of patriotism. This writer believes that patriotism is rooted in ones loyalty to something greater than themselves. It first must be tied to a theory and belief that there is nothing greater to uphold than a willingness to pledge allegiance to a God, people, nation, flag and causes in which one is even willing to live by and/or die by. This theory also must built around past, present and future potentials that will often encompass the economic, social and political aspirations of people (for better or worse). And is tied to ones personal and collective preparation, which translate into the potential of success and/or failure. If we desire to have a certain destiny outcome than our collective work should reflect a model built around a vision that lays out what our future will look like beyond rhetoric. This disposition should be undergirded and supported by one also embracing nationalism and are willing to up hold the values, standards, principles, laws, codes of conduct and all that governs our jurisprudence system without compromise. There is no room for treason and betrayal, if our sovereignty is rooted in the fundamental principles of Freedom, Justice and Equality.

Aurelio Peccei and Alexander King stated: "The solution to these crises can be developed only in a global context with full explicit recognition of the emerging world system and on a long-term basis. This would necessitate, among other changes, a new world economic order and a global resource allocation system. . . The futility of narrow nationalism must be appreciated. . .A world consciousness must be developed by which every individual recognizes his role as a member of the global community. . . A keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that fundamental changes will have to take place in the world order and its power structures, in the distribution of wealth and income, in our outlook and behavior".

Here we are that lost sheep of Israel; thus, you can find that true lost tribe right here living in America and scattered throughout the Disapora, who were cut off from their true Hebrew Israelite heritage and land over 4,000 years and went in bondage in a strange land that was not theirs for over 400 years ago (the true biological linage to King David and King Solomon, you are speaking to one). Who were kidnapped robbed from their homeland, cut off from ethno-family linage, robbed of their language and culture, and still remain displaced in a foreign land and has been unjustly prosecuted and afflicted for 400 years. If you are connected to this lost original Nubian Hebraic tribe and you can prove that you are a descendant of mine and then we must be family.

But no other people fit that historical and biblical description, but so-called American Negro in America (there are some imposters out there). Our culture is transformative and syntheses of our traditions, rites, rituals, sacraments, customs, folkways, mores, etc., which builds the foundation for personal and historical values. It serves as the connector of the past, present and future and it ties a people's DNA history to every unborn generation. Moreover, culture is the sustainable life blood for a people's success and will always remain as the single most important component to a people's continued survival—it inculcates the memory bank and roadmap to a people's collective empowerment (culture should always be interpreted as a living document, which is always evolving within time and space).

This writer thinks that for real patriotism to exist in America 2016 there must be a level of tolerance that is taught on the primary school levels in which young impressionable minds are exposed to the diversity of cultures, races, nationalities, religions, etc. Also alleviate the negative stereotypes and propaganda about people who may differ from us and allow the American people to have a dissenting voice and create more avenues where ideals, thoughts, opinions, beliefs and differs of philosophy and views can be freely and openly debated not just in the ivory towers, think tanks, corporate media, but on the grassroots level. People need to know and understand why we should and/or should not back our government foreign policy agenda and is it worth risking our lives in the name of false flag waving by suiting up militarily and going to foreign battle fields to fight for causes that are in the interest of the super Elite and those who control systematic tentacles of Western Capitalism)—many U.S. soldiers are haunted upon returning home their patriotism is shattered and brought into question after witnessing the injustices being inflicted on innocent civilians in the Middle East and Central Asia (wars are never fought in the interest of the poor and have ‘nots’). The teachings of civics and social studies have to be improved to reflect that paradigm shift that has taking place and we have entered into a New World Order, that is more dangerous and volatile than when Americans fought the Revolutionary War, Civil War and when the Founder Father set down in 1787 and finalized framing the United States Constitution.

The so-called war on terror and terrorism have to be an intellectually engaging conversation (and critically assessed and critically evaluated) thus when there is objective critical analysis being rendered (not persuasive propaganda or disinformation giving to mislead the American people and the globe). It allows for the American people to determine whether, we can embrace and/or trust that our government and nation has provided us with all the facts relative to the true motives behind these induced wars and conflicts, as well as any other matter (foreign or domestic). Until the U.S. Government does this, they do not deserve to have our un-daunting loyalty, which to uphold, defend and protect the United States Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies.

This can only take place, if we begin to truly educate the American people on matters of Homeland Security, U.S. Patriot Act, Military Commission Act, National Defense Authorization Act, Anti-Terrorism Act, etc, (and remove the cloak of secrecy) and how the U.S. Government has created a police state (with the militarization of local police departments) in the name of national security interest in which has absolved it citizens of civil liberties (these are truly dangerous times). They have rendered the U.S. Constitution as a worthless and useless piece of paper. It is our duty to re-inspire our citizens to study the brilliance of the Founding Fathers and the framers of the U.S. Constitution—this possibly will reinvigorate a new generation of patriots that will have no interest of becoming an enemy combatants or joining onto America's enemies. They will be more interested in upholding the freedoms that were initially guaranteed to all so-called Americans base on law and constitutional jurisprudences. Thus, there will be no more need to administer oaths and swear-ins but our loyalty and patriotism will forever be rooted in our hearts.

Many dissident voices such as Bloggers (conservatives and liberal agendas), public intellectuals, theologians, activist, academicians, etc., are under constant government surveillance (perhaps many of you have demised the warnings from Edward Snowden about the NSA) in midst of those seeking to entrap by attempting to engage dissident voices in conversations about ISIS, radical militant Islam, terrorism, etc. We must always work within the law; these agent provocateurs and government instigators are working in cyberspace and are using the wide and long brush stroke of Homeland Security (counter-intelligence and surveillance) to serve as coercers and paid informants (no I am not an ISIS sympathizer nor am I apart of any anti-United States Government group). They are seeking ways of how they could arrest those who dare to speak truth to power—the federal government already has sealed indictments and grand jury’s in place (in order to arrest many of us and handout long term prison sentence and destroy ones credibly through lies and false allegations) aimed at those who dare to raise dissident voices (not that any of us would have broken any laws).

Nevertheless, some of us do understand the complexity of the world in which we now live to that extent of not trying to overly simplify our present space and time relative to the Fascist world we live under today (no one will be allowed to challenge the New World Order and the One World Government Agenda). They have established clear precedents of how they are going to deal with us: International law will not apply, Hague Convention will not apply, U.S. Constitution will not apply, international courts will not apply, etc (mass incarcerations and concentration camps are already in place and prisons camps like Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have been set up all over the world). May be some of us are just that naïve and do not understand the new global rules and order. In the United States, we have to deal with the U.S. Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act, Military Commission Act, Anti-Terrorism Bill in which they can declare any dissident voices such as: David Icke, Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan and many others as an Enemy Combatant and could be placed in prison today and unjustly incarcerated for speaking the truth. These are truly dangerous times that we are living under. Big Brother has his eyes on all of us.

THE BLACK MAN: AND THE WHITE SUPREMACY MODEL OF CULTURE

By Fahim A. Knight-El

African people were subjugated to 310 years of, perhaps the worst oppression that has ever been recorded in recent world history and endured the most dehumanization process to be found anywhere in the annals of time called Chattel Slavery (and European people could always disguise their religion and ethnicity and fit in with the dominant culture and society). Africans were kidnapped from their native lands and as stated above, robbed of their rights to their lands, robbed of their language, stripped of their names, denied a right to have a culture and heritage (was not permitted to embrace their rites, sacraments, relics, rituals, etc.), our women were raped and black men were lynched and castrated (reference: Without Sanctuary:Lynching Photography in America);forced to adopt the slave masters religion (we cry out for Zion). Some scholars have maintained that over 50-100 million Africans were displaced during the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage.

Thus, African Americans over 150 years removed from Chattel Slavery have never received reparations nor have our grievances been addressed in an International Court of Law within the United Nations as a people who were subjugated to war crimes (America became great off the black human commodity of free slave labor and this gave them an economic head-start to the determent of the 100 millions victims that became human rights casualties). We built the United States of America including the Ivory Towers such as Duke University and the United States Capitol and did not have the luxury to be apart of white privilege and receive the political, economic and social advantages as other immigrants who received a royal welcome upon entering the United States of America through Ellis Island. No, my ancestors arrived to the shores of the United States by way of the slave ports of America—Charleston, Jamestown, Savannah, Mobile, Wilmington, Rhode Island, etc., in chains as slaves (and by way of the Door of No Return at Elmina Castle in Ghana and Goree Island in Senegal)—this was the greatest crime ever committed in human history. Moreover, even after slavery ended white supremacy continued to raises its ugly head with the Plessy versus Ferguson (1896) United States Supreme Court decision, which ushered in another 58 years of Jim Crow laws and legalized racial practices aimed at African American people.

This was the Black Holocaust that has been overlooked; this is my people’s history and I will always write and represent our legacy unapologetically and present the facts with candor and passion. The blood of my ancestors runs deep in me and it encompasses my DNA makeup (as well as the millions of other black people of African descent) and in every fiber of my being my ancestors speak to me through the elements and every black soul that were kidnapped, enslaved, murdered; it is their kindred spirit that has called for the universe to turn on America and Europe—my people from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, those buried in the cotton fields (America’s southern tobacco and cotton belt), those buried in the sugar cane fields of the Caribbean, Central and South America are still weeping for justice and those survivals like myself and other Diaspora Africans only remain as a reminder of the injustice. Now, this is our experience and the history that all the descendants of African people stand on.

The above social phenomenon is rooted in a complex social and political dilemma, because African people who were victimized by 310 years of Chattel Slavery (caused almost irreparable psychological damage, it robbed us of the knowledge of self and kind—in this vicious process, we lost of our land, names, religion, cultures, customs, folkway, mores, etc., in which I have mentioned in the above two paragraphs). Perhaps no other people in modern world history has been dehumanized to the extent of the African and the affect Chattel Slavery has had on the psychological development of African people for generations both past and present (reference: Joy Angela Degury: "Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome" published in 2005).

Dr. Naim Akbar books: Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery, Know Thyself, Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery, Visions for Black Men, who holds a Ph.D in psychology and was a professor emeritus at Florida State University and is a trained mental health expert; wrote about the post-traumatic affect that the slavery dehumanization process had on the present day African ancestral victims even in 2016 and there are other books that Dr. Akbar has published as well (Visions for Black Men ; Light from Ancient Africa and From Miseducation to Education by Naim Akbar). Thus, we cannot be fearful to call it for what it is (We have been up against the power of white world domination), which is white supremacy and it has been this mindset that has dominated the planet for last 6,000 years and within the last 500 to 600 in this modern context of the African historical slavery experience and the victimization of the indigenous people of the new world and the planet has created the present social paradigm relative to the systemic impact it continues to have on people of African descent. Thus, African people were systematically made blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self. I advise my blog audience to read the works of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing Book titled, The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors (she recently made her transition back to creator and the ancestors at age 83) this book is a must read in order to understand white supremacy as a genetic and political ideology and lastly Michael Bradley's book titled, The Iceman in inheritance: Pre-Historic of Western Man's Racism, Sexism and Aggression.

SoI research and write about greats truths, that have been hidden and denied by the Caucasian or white man from our people of Nubian and so-called African descent; with the intent to transform our thinking in order to intellectually and philosophically empower ourselves to reclaim the knowledge and expertise of our Kemetic ancestors (the original master builders) who built the pyramids. We are truly at war for the minds and hearts of our people. I will continue to say and repeat over and over again, that they have systematically made us blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self, but those who have taking up the mantle to be conscious must be applauded for attempting to throw off the shackles of self-hatred, dependency, miseducation, etc., and we must continue to work to educate and liberate the minds of our people from mental slavery (this condition is much more dangerous than physical chains, because the mental oppression and imperialism is invisible). For example, we all have the job, duty and responsibility to reform and re-determine the paradigm by first being engaged in institution building and advocating unity above all else. What is the duty of the civilized man and woman? It is to teach the uncivilized.

The challenges no doubt would be great, but they could be overcome. I think that most young people (but not just young people but 85% of the masses) have been systematically dummied down due to the power of false propaganda and disinformation in which pop culture has had the greatest negative influence, in particular on shaping the ideals, minds and defining the paradigm shift in abstract terms and downplaying the seriousness of the present world and society that we now are living under. Serious critical thinking conversation about history and world events are not taking place—nor are highly charged conversation related to dissecting white supremacy is taking place and we as a race of people of African descent are not reclaiming our past glorious civilizations prior to be being made slaves and we are not revisiting the programs, stances, and political theories of our past Black Nationalist leaders who dared to confront the social models that have been rooted in white supremacy.

We can only begin to counter this by possessing a willingness to accepting the teachings of the knowledge of self and embrace the fact that Nubian people of Kemet—gave the entire world civilization and enlightenment (Kemet or ancient Egypt) taught the Greeks and Romans civilization. The solution of attempting to dismantling white supremacy must start by reintroducing global truth and work to remove the lies, half-truths and historical distortions about the role dark skinned African people have played throughout human civilizations—lets eradicate the false notion of white superiority and black inferiority. This is the first step to dismantling the idea of white cultural and historical superiority, which has created social and political racial antagonistic contradictions in humanity’s quest and pursuit to have better global human relations. We all must be willing fight white supremacy on all levels (and lets us start there in correcting the wrong and yet I do not think that any action of political or legal consequences will ever make black people whole thus only God has that power). “White supremacy is a historically based, institutionally perpetuated system of exploitation and oppression of continents, nations and peoples of color by white peoples and nations of the European continent; for the purpose of establishing, maintaining and defending a system of wealth, power and privilege”. (Definition by Mickey Ellinger and Sharon Martinas).

Many of you now know that the white man's history only goes back six thousand (6,000) years and he is a newcomer on the planet, but it was black people who invented medicine, architecture, engineering, mathematics, religion, etc., and to hail the Greek culture as superior and supreme is a historical contradiction and outright lie. I advise my reading audience to purchase a book titled, First Word authored by Kwaku Person-Lynn; the book consist of some serious Afrocentric and revolutionary essays authored by a few of our greatest revolutionary intellectuals of the late 20^thand early 21^st Century. The book consist of 13 essays, which stand as some of best Afrocentric writings ever compiled in one volume and written on-behalf of people of African descent and I strongly consider this valuable work as necessary readings to properly formulate the ideological and philosophical bases of reclaiming our history. These intellectual warriors layout the historical, psychological, political, religious, social and economic tools needed to alter our mis-education process and lead us to seeing the importance of totally embracing our culture and heritage. Lastly, Dr. Ashra Kwesi is one of our master teachers has done yeoman's work in the area of taking so-called African Americans back to Kemet (Egypt) and re-tracking the Egyptian Mystery Schools that predated the neophyte learning and initiations established by the Greeks under Socrates, Plato and Aristotle

White Supremacy and Eurocentrism has set false historical standards in order to make European culture appear superior to Nubian people's culture and history. They desired for us to believe that Greeceand Rome were the citadel of learning and civilization, which in reality, the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptians) had a far superior history and it was Kemet and Kush that gave the world civilization. Culture is learned behavior, but it is the transformative and represent a syntheses of ones collective and individual traditions, rites, rituals, sacraments, customs, folkways, mores, etc., which builds the foundation for personal and community values. It serves as the connector of the past, present and future and it ties a people's DNA history (civilization) to every unborn generation. Moreover, culture is the sustainable life blood for a people's success and serve as their collective memory bank, which will always remain as the single most important component to a people's continued survival--it inculcates the historical linkages to past generations and serve as the roadmap to a people's collective empowerment. Culture should always be interpreted as a living document, which is always evolving within time and space. culture is the most necessary social dynamic to building and strengthen family—there is good book titled, Tribes: How Race, Religion and Identity Determine Success in the Global Economy that speaks to the importance of the culture piece, which establishes and reinforces values, mores, folkways and even lays the foundation for morality and ethics (this also lends to establishing the internal and external laws that would be use to govern).Yet, any definition we attach to family must be based somewhat on an African model.

Our spiritual world is empowered by thoughts as well as all reality, but not many human beings are willing to allow themselves to move beyond what they can see, feel, taste, hear and smell on the physical plain and not allow themselves to experience the five senses on a much deeper level. All of the senses are manifestation of thought and human reality exists, because of an inclination to create a world and society that is geared towards mastering physical reality. The ancient civilizations such as the ancient Kemites (Egyptians), Mayas, Native Americans, Dogons, Druids, Chinese, Indians, etc., had evolved 10,000 to 20,000 years ago to a higher form of civilization and most ancient societies shared certain social threads in which they saw themselves as miniature microcosm Beings that were connected to the larger macrocosm universe in which they were not afraid to embrace the divine laws of the universe. Western man/woman has continued to ignore this holistic approach to life and view the universe as though it functions separate and independent and without direct or indirect bearing on our physical survival—the universe is the only true sovereign entity—if the two most important laws that governs the universe, which is motion and order, ever becomes compromised our insignificance and vulnerability as human beings (lower species) would be exposed and there wouldn’t be anything we could do alter our ultimate demise.

Values(this is our moral compass) are those norms that governs persons, family, community and society attitudes, as they are closely related to the social, spiritual, political and economic outlook of our being. Thus, that is weighed into how we view at ourselves and the world, and often it determines things ranging from how we raise our children, how we view marriage, friendship, how we exercise authority, how we view religion. And often we allow values to become the driving force of how we critically view others and often it is a challenge to be less judgmental to people who are different and may not share your culture (the best example and/or model of a structured system of values is encompassed in the so-called 42 Negative Confessions). Also, how we determine what is good and bad is rooted in learned behavior and I think values are interchangeable and predicated on the foundation of culture (it is one of the connective components of culture), which teaches and affirms what is dear to a person and people's understanding and acceptability of the principles of MAAT these divine lessons allows us to tap into our own humanity and we should use them to build solid relationships that are principle based.

Humanity is suffering because of the absences of love and it hascreated an imbalance on the planet. Love does not allow for starvation, poverty, and want--it should move us to fight and challenge wealth disparities in order that all of humanity can share in the bountifulness of mother earth. There is no selfishness associated with love it meets everyone with open arms. We were taught self-hatred and were robbed of the ability to love ourselves, women and our children--so we the people of African decent and in particular, those living in the diaspora must first be taught how to love ourselves; moreover, this love must be taught through our history, culture and heritage in which to eventually get us back to the principle of universalism that encompass love. Our love in this day and time must be RACE FIRST. Raise the RED, BLACK AND GREEN.

Destiny: Is when a person and/or collective group embraces a conscious prescribed route and it determines where a people are headed (which should be determined outside of the Mystery God concept and fulfilled by the God inside of us). It is built around past, present and future potential that often will encompass the economic, social and political aspirations of people (for better or worse). And is tied to ones personal and collective preparation, which translate into the potential of success and/or failure. If we desire to have a certain destiny outcome than our collective work should reflect a model built around a vision that lays out what our future will look like beyond rhetoric.

I wrote an article on Kemetic Symbolism a few years ago, because I desired to show and prove that there were some in depth sacred geometry that needed to be explored, talked about and reveal that came out of Kemet, which has been adopted by New Age movements and secret societies and most of the visible and not so visible symbolism were shrouded in mystical and mythical coded allegory, which went beyond what meets the naked eye. I had the privilege to set under Brother Ashra Kwesi some years ago and I see him as one of my teachers. He used to live in Los Angles and was the facilitator of a powerful and enlightened Afrocentric study group; thus, truly one of our master teachers. This world's order is being manipulated and the Hidden Hand is being empowered by those variables that cannot be readily deciphered by the masses. I do not think that it was coincidental when people are led to my site and articles, because of where we are in space and time (there is absolutely nothing coincidental or even incidental about space and time) is where we ought to be—this is led by the Creator and is ultimately outside of our control. The 'dumbying' down process is so vast in America and wide spread amongst the masses in general our ultimate duty is to work tirelessly to break the bonds of mental slavery and work to moving us more towards liberation.

I was a serious student of Afrocentricity, and at that time there were two big major African-centered organizations one was called Association for the study Classical African Civilizations (ASCAC), which included a whose who relative to our revolutionary warriors and intellectuals and the second organization was called the Melanin Conference and I linked up with these two research associations early on, because of the African research that was being conducted in which they viewed Africa as a subject rather than an object this was cutting edge African-centered studies: the Clarkes, Jochannan, Asante, King, Carruthers, Amos Wilson, Na'im Akbar, Mualana Karenga, Marimba Ani, Leonard Jeffries, Ivanvan Sertima etc., were some of my teachers in which these scholars were writing and publishing books dealing with African contributions to world civilization in which a lot of emphasis was being placed on Kemet (ancient Egypt)—Cheikh Anta Diop called it African Origins of Civilization: Myth or Reality. So I actually joined both of these African centered associations and would travel to various cities attending conferences and constantly purchasing materials to enhance my knowledge (I worked to become a student of the knowledge). These great enlighteners gave me enough to fly out of the nest and develop and grow, because of the nurturing they provided me with. I also had very good relations with the Nation of Islam and I would go to the temple and hear the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (and must tell you this: the Nation of Islam's teachings and Elijah Muhammad's theology and philosophy, perhaps have had the greatest impact on my life and I would not be where I am to day in my thinking, if were not for Muhammad's Life Giving teachings). Dr. Ben-Jochannan who was serious critic of Islam, but before he got sick an incapacitated and made his transition he turned his entire and extensive library over to Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

Dr. Yosef A.A. Ben Jochannan first published the Book titled, Black man of the Nile and His Family in around 1973. Here is the first point of clarity; the Arabs did not arrive or invade Kemet (ancient Egypt) until the 8th Century A.D. which means the greatness of Kemet and the Egyptian Mystery Systems were not destroyed by the Arabs, because they did not arrive into Kemet until much later A.D. within the modern era. The Greeks were there thousands of years before the Arabs. These so-called Arabs were a mix and miscegenated people who originally were dark skinned, broad nose and kinky hair "Negroids"—you can still find these Afro-descendent Arabs in Yemen and Oman and living in the Desert of Saudi Arabia (the Saud family and the Wahhabi Muslims are imposters who stole and pushed the original African people off much of the Arabian Peninsula), but through race mixing the Arabs in which Saudi Arabia used to be geographically connected to the original continent of Africa (what Dr. Ben called Akebuland) was separated and geographically placed in the so-called Middle East (they were not Asiatics in the truest sense of ethnic-race classification, but Elijah Muhammad and Noble Drew Ali both called us the Asiatic black man). However, the Arabs did not destroy the mystery system most of this was done prior to their arrival in the late 600s-700s A.D. But like the European Christian missionaries the Islamic missionaries too had a devastating affect on the continent of Africa--North Africa, East and West Africa relative to plundering, raping and robbing which led to culture disruption and negatively affected political continuity. Their main objectives was also black slavery during the Trans-Sahara Slave Trade and imposing Islam (missionaries) on the indigenous people of that region and exploiting the commercial interest, they had in these black lands, which were rich in both in human and natural resources. Mansa Musa of Mali in 1324 made an Islamic Hajj to Mecca and took hundreds of thousands of tons of gold as a gift to the Arab Muslim ruling class. This gave the Muslim Arabs a glimpse into the wealth and riches that were part of the western African empire.

But Egypt had been under external assault by the Semites (Jews in particular) Phoenicians, Greeks, etc., (long before Arab colonist and enslavers arrived). Yet that is not to say, that upon the Arabs arrival that they did not desecrate the sacred temples and claim the history of Kemet as their own and simultaneously and erroneously claimed kinship to the original Nubians who occupied Kemet and all of North Africa. The great Pyramid of Giza and the pyramids in general, should be the eight and ninth wonders of the world (in my mind these sophisticated black people and their science should place them number one on the list based their high tech culture). Now, when I speak of Egypt lets be clear I do not mean some Mediterranean mulatto people who are light skinned with Caucasian features—these are imposters.

George G.M. James in his book titled, Stolen Legacy gives us the Egyptian Mystery Systems (he attributes the greatest esoteric, occult and Gnostic schools of thought as being indigenous to Egypt in which all of humanity owes a debt of gratitude). These neophytes that were taught in the Egyptian Mystery Schools could run circles around the Eurocentric trained Entered Apprentices, Fellow Crafts, and Master Masons who received the sublime degrees in Europe and the United States and even around us after moving upward to the honorary 33rd degree; they taught and understood that true knowledge is found in the unbreakable circle of 360 degrees Cipher (which makes up of all the points on the square and compass). The quest and search for knowledge is infinite (it has no beginning or ending). The beauty of being enlightened, it allows us as Free Thinkers to tap into the power of the Third Eye and ignite the power of Pineal Gland—and lead to a melanin explosion, which expands mental peripheral vision of thought, which to explore and question, as well as build on the knowledge and wisdom of our ancient ancestors, that has been presented as empirical evidence and I view their truth and knowledge as being irrefutable.

BEYONCE: LOUIS FARRAKHAN SAID STAND BACK, THE NATION OF ISLAM WILL PROTECT OUR SISTER

By Fahim A. Knight-El

The United States of America elected its first African American president in 2008, with the election of President Barack Obama and this was a monumental feat in the history of African Americans, in particular and entire United States in general. Moreover, some social and political pundits early on was suggesting that the election of President Obama represented a post-racial era (and it was being touted as the epitome of equality and social progress); and even some academicians had bought in the notion that America had transitioned into a new age relative to racial politics.

Yet, with the election of President Obama, it appeared to have acerbated internal racial tension (gun sells and ammunition sell had skyrocketed) also it appeared that hate crimes have been on the rise according to American Civil Liberties Union and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the United States Justice Department also verifies that racial motivated violence has been on the increase since 2008.I know there is a breakdown in communication between the old and new generation and this is not meant to omit nor negate the more deeper issues involving the social, political and economic problems, we have in the

United States

, in particular facing African Americans and other minorities in general. I believe it was President Bill Clinton in 1997 that made an attempt to establish a national race commission called One America Initiative on Race and almost two decades later, we are still dealing with the question of race and justice.

The Black Lives Matter Movement brought the issue of police brutality to national attention and I started to read and closely follow some of the recent events involving law enforcement and innocent unarmed black men being killed by law enforcement officers in various cities throughout America (of course these white racist police officers killing innocent black man had been going on for a very long time but it had been swept under the rug and it was police brutality that gave rise to the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in 1966), it led me to continue to believe that something was still wrong inside of America; racism once again was raising its ugly head in these various police brutality cases and if it were not for social media and citizens having the ability to capture these events in real time via Smartphone technology. Moreover, many of these police brutality cases would have never made it to the public attention and definitely would not have made it to a court of law. I am forever reminded by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who stated: ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere’.

I saw angry young African Americans in Ferguson marching and protesting the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson and Freddie Gray in Baltimore and I also saw on television and on social media how violent the protests had become between law enforcement and the African American community—we witnessed personal and real property being destroyed—raiding, looting, violence and appeared these two cities were headed for total anarchy. They believed that Brown and Gray murders were racially motivated and they took to the streets and angrily confronted the police in their quest for justice. I am so proud of the young brothers and sisters of the Black Lives Matter Movements for shunning (in defiance) those traditional Negro leadership models who have always just performed and functioned as establishment Negro leaders (it has always been about the economic and social mobility of themselves and their families and not the collective success of our people). Thus, with the right guidance and leadership, we might have a future with these up and coming brothers and sisters.

The Black Panther Party is celebrating their 50th year anniversary in 2016. Perhaps our greatest female entertainer of recent years Beyoncé who as part of Super Bowl 50th (held in Santa Clara) half-time entertainment show had sisters dressed in sexy leather paramilitary outfits (with Afro style hairdos and in formation of how Blank Panther Party used line up as a paramilitary organization and she has been criticized by the white corporate media for being insensitive towards the police, in particular citing the Panthers antagonism towards the police. Thus, from their perspective Beyoncé was making an unfair political statement—I applaud this young entertainer and we should support her as an artist for having the right to creatively express herself even if was making a political statement.

Rudolph “Rudy” Giuliani, a reactionary racist who was part of the internal conspiracy that led to the bombing of the World Trade Center and the restructuring of how the One World Government is being carried out today; he should have been charged with the mass murders of 3,000 human beings in the 9/11 hoax, a front man for Larry Silverstein and the Hidden Hand. Yet, this criminal walked away from this high level deception and crime unblemished. The former mayor of New Yorkjust about accused Beyoncé of inciting people against the police and pretty much said she needed to stay in her lane as an entertainer and this reactionary pawn has been leading this negative and critical charge against the entertainer Beyoncé.

I will say this, I do not think Beyoncé understands the political dynamics nor does she understand how the world works (naïve would be an understatement), but her husband Jay-Z does knows a lot about his history and culture and he himself, perhaps is either a closet member and/or sympathizer of the Nation of Gods and Earths (the Five Percenters). Nevertheless, by me understanding the political and theoretical values of this group whom at times have aligned and embraced black nationalist politics and ideologies, it was easy for me interpret where and how Beyoncé’s NFL Halftime show came about. Jay-Z was publically seen wearing the NGE medallion (and there is little doubt in my mind the Black Panther skit probably was orchestrated and came from the mind of her husband Jay-Z who is a lot more politicized than his wife Beyoncé).

Giuliani's type rhetoric is not only reactionary, but it permeates with the mood and present day era of the United States Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and the Enemy Combatant laws (embodied in the long arm of Homeland Security). His reckless commentary stood as an assault on the First Amendment Right and it is meant to further expand the

United States

assault on our basic civil liberties as American citizens.

I think we need to applaud Minister Louis Farrakhan (the flamethrower who for over 60 years has been speaking truth to power) and the Nation of Islam for vowing to protect and support Beyoncé as she performs throughout

America

. However, the Nation of Islam patriarch has always been willing to come to the defense of black people when many of us would run and hide, because of fear of the status quo. We should support Minister Louis Farrakhan in this mission by sending him money to defray this expense of assuring that our sister Beyoncé is not harmed or her concerts are not disrupted, because of the lack of security—Farrakhan website is noi.org (they welcome bankcards donations) and send some money to aid the Fruit of Islam (the security team of the Nation of Islam).

How dare do they tell us as Black people what we can say and/or sing about (they want to stifle our creative genre and I have seen and heard spoken word artists who have said things that would make Beyoncé Formation Tour appear as being conservative). But they are fearful that the Queen-Bee would influence an entire new generation of young black people who might awake and become enlightened to the truth about

America

and its role as being viewed as the Great Satan around the world. Yet, these racist police officers continue to kill our young black men in the streets for nothing other than being black and constantly lie that they were fearful for their lives and these murders become classified as justifiable homicides.

Treyvon Martin was only going to the store to get a drink and some skillets and was murdered by the racist George Zimmerman (whom the courts acquitted for this murder); Eric Garner was selling cigarettes outside on the curb in New York City and was choked to death by white racist police officers--he yelled out I CANNOT BREATHE; Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri Hands up shot to death by a racist police officer, Freddie Gray in Baltimore murdered while in police custody; Tamir Rice a young African American teen killed by racist police officers in Cleveland, Ohio, he only had a toy gun on the playground, Walter Scott in Charleston, South Carolina shot in the back by a racist police officer; Sandra Bland killed while in police custody in Waller County jail in Hempstead, Texas; The Chicago police fatally shot 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times. So I challenge every Black Law Enforcement officers in Raleigh, Durham and across America to not go along with these white officers and take a stand on behalf of your own people (and stand by the oath you took to protect and serve all people).

I equally challenge the black men in the black churches across America to come out of those Sunday School classes, Bible Study classes, choir groups and take a stand and to our brother ministers and pastors to stop this foolishness in the pulpit and use your pulpit power to become a social activist by truly teaching the Gospel of Jesus the Christ and to preach a theology of liberation; Jesus was no punk and took on the Roman Government by himself--he truly had a government on his shoulders. I applaud our black women, they got more courage and fighting power than most of their scared to death husbands and boy friends (sisters help to give us black men some backbone), I thank God for the black woman.

No, we are not going to allow them to publicly lynch our sister Beyoncé, moreover during slavery black men could not defend our black women (this is our duty to defend and protect our black women and children by any means necessary), but in 2016, we have an opportunity to redeem ourselves, because her willingness to educate us with her Formation Tour about the Black Panther Party it is not sitting well with some (but who gives a damn), but her right to be a creative artist is worth our support as black men and black women. They allowed a white armed militia Group in Oregonto declare squatters rights on federal property in which many of the white citizens of that town backed the militia group. No one is entitled to claim their sovereign rights to any lands in North America other than our Native American family. But you have not heard the police say they are not going to defend and protect the citizens of that town, but in spite of their political alliances with anti-government militia they took an oath to serve and protect (this is the double standard and social dichotomy that I am addressing as it pertain to Beyonce).

I can remember the United States Secret Service back in 1984 when Reverend Jesse Jackson ran a strong campaign for becoming president of the

United States of America

and the secret service refused to protect Reverend Jackson and Minister Farrakhan came to his defense and mandated that the Fruit of Islam would serve as Jackson's security team. Reverend Jackson had thousands of death threats against his life and the Muslim Minister Louis Farrakhan stood in solidarity with his Christian brother. Farrakhan said, "you are not going to kill this brother."

In Monroe, North Carolina there was a bad brother in the 1950s and 1960s named Robert Williams (they eventually ran this brother out of North Carolina and was exiled to Cuba) and he was part of a black Christian organization called Deacon for Defense and he was the president of Monroe's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)--he wrote a book titled, 'Black men with Guns". The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, the Black Stone Rangers, El-Rukhns, etc., all evolved as organizations who would become the vanguard of protecting and defending the black community, in particular against white supremacy attacks.

Thus, this precedent that America is attempting to set with the performer Beyoncé is a dangerous slippery slope in which she as an American citizen and artist should be protected by the United States Constitution under the First Amendment Right (freedom of speech and expression); every black college and black public school districts should be using this current event issue to teach and argue the rights of civil liberties and debate the constitutional rights of the First Amendment Right and get this young Hip Hop generation and culture excited about civics and pop culture (this should be an exciting time to be a student and teacher in the classroom); it becomes dangerous for the United States Government to attempt to censor and silence her for expressing her artistic creativity. The litmus test for free speech is not how we receive speech that we agree upon, but how do we act towards speech that we disagree on in which the United States Constitution and its Founder Fathers insured that all speech would be protected under the law regardless of the content? But what the powers-that-be is trying to do is covertly punish Beyoncé and simultaneously deter other social conscious black artist and entertainers from making political statements and force high profile black athletes and entertainers to be apolitical, because if they stand up for a political or social cause they might be publicly ostracized by the powers-that-be for standing up for justice and equality.

They desire to silence our artists who dare to stand with the Black Lives Matter Movement or for any other social cause in which our young progressive black people has taking up such as condemning police brutality and the reactionary goals of the prison industrial complex (and has raised a voice against militarization of the police departments). Police Departments and Police officers work at the pleasure of us taxpaying citizens (interpreted to mean we the people pay their salaries and benefits). If we allow these sworn officers to get involved in determining who they will defend and protect based on ones political views, it will come back to haunt the

United States

in a bad way. I would like to see us devise and organize a youth based race commission and work in partnerships with law enforcement and the courts and advocate for the victims of racism and police brutality and simanteously work with police departments to implement a plan of strategy that would allow input from the Hip-Hop community (interpreted to mean those that fit the social and racial demographics of victims of racist inspired police brutality) in assisting in writing the cultural sensitive training aspect of the manuals; allowing the youth to sit on community policing boards and give them recommendation power to foster change and allow them to attend community programs along side law enforcement to create a since of visible unity between the police and the community

For example, Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson have both said some reactionary reprehensible things against Latinos (the largest non-white minority in the country), against Muslims (who are not involved in terrorism or militant radical Islam) and against African Americans but I have not heard the Fraternal Order of Police talk about removing their security teams from around supporting a racist and religious hate monger as Trump, but what about the oath they took to protect and serve, it did not mention anything about only serving those citizens whom we agree upon relative to their political viewpoints. Beyoncé is an artist and an entertainer and she was not the first artist or entertainer to take a controversial position for a cause that had political implications. I guess when I was listening to old school rap such as Public Enemy, KRS-One, Niggas With an Attitude (NWA), Poor Righteous Teachers, Brand Nubian, DJ Scott La Rock, etc., they perhaps would have been arrested because their lyrics and political genre was off the chain relative to militancy.

Fahim Knight-El speech on Freemasonry and the Ancient Kemetic Connection (Stanford L. Warren Library 4-7-16): Written transcription and copy.

Greetings: Hotep to our brothers and sisters of the Pan-Africanist and Nationalist community—Peace and let Africa Unite. Africa for the Africans at home and abroad—One God, One Aim, One Destiny says Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Let me first thank the staff and Stanford L. Warren Library for extending this invitation to me. I am humbled and grateful.

To my Sunni Muslim brothers and sisters:“Auodhu Billahi Minash ash-Shaytaan Nir Rajim Bismillah-hir-Rahman-nir-Rahim” (English translation: I seek refuge from Allah from curse or accuse Devil Satan and in the name of Allah the Beneficent, the merciful). I say As-Salaam Alaikaim to my brothers and sisters assembled here today who are of the Sunni Islamic persuasion. Some years ago a wrote a small book titled, “Freemasonry (Moslem Sons) and Islam: What Do they Share?”

To my Rastafarian brother and sisters, “I greet you in the salutations: In the name of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judea—Jah---Rastafari. All Masonic teachings have its roots linked to the Biblical Prophets King David and King Solomon”. So I am connected to the Tribe of Judea and I also know that we are that lost tribe who was cut off from our biblical heritage. I consider myself one of the Maroons and Africans who escaped slavery from the European British slave masters and took refuge in the mountains and used guerrilla tactics to fight the British on the Island of Jamaica. They loc their hair and smokedBlack Gungi (this is some real good stuff), but they were fierce warriors who overstood the power and relationship that Jah made between man and land (the vegetations of the earth had edible and medicinal purposes). Thus, many of the original Rastafarians did not consume meat and animal flesh—they followed the divine laws offered up in the Bible giving to us in the first five books of the Bible. So Jah-----Rastafari long live the spirit of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie.

To my brothers and Sisters of the Nation of Gods and Earths, better known as the Five Percent Nation and master Scientists of the 120 degree lessons- Father Allah (Clarence 13X) and his sidekick Brother Justice taught us to always greet one another in Peace—So I greet the Gods in the audience in peace. Now, if you want some higher science from some true free thinkers they have lessons called the 120 degrees that is titled “Supreme Mathematics” and “Supreme Alphabet” and there are other lessons of high science. I will always consider myself an honorary member of the Nation of Gods and Earths and have set under some great enlighteners who taught me how to use and let knowledge be born—and I will always consider myself as part of the NGE Cipher. They gave me a deeper appreciation of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s Supreme Wisdom Lessons, which led me to evolve to the complete overstanding that God was black and put me on a quest to move to a higher spiritual sphere of attaining 360 degrees of knowledge (that is where I am right now as I give this talk and speech).

To my beloved Moorish Science Brothers those who have accepted the universal divine teachings of the Prophet Noble Drew (aka Abdul Sharrieff Ali) who founded the Moorish Science Temple of America in 1913 in Newark, New Jersey, it was originally called Canaanite Temple and Ali said the so-called American Negro did not have a true nationality (Ali was believed to have been born in Cherokee, North Carolina in 1886). He declared us to be Moorish American—so I greet the Moors present with Islam or Islamism. We have our Sheikh, Brother Robert Stone-El present with us today who teaches the “Circle 7 Holy Koran”, as it was prepared by the Prophet Noble Drew Ali. Greetings Islam Moor. We are the biblical ancient Moabites.

The Prophet Drew Ali taught that we were disenfranchised and lost as a so-called race of people, because the so-called American Negro had no true recognized nationality (his life body of work evolved around linking the so-called American Negro to his true lost identity) and Ali had traveled to North Africa (perhaps to Egypt and Morocco) was taught in the lesser mysteries in Egypt and he was giving the assignment to go back to North America and declare that we were of Moorish descendent who had being cut off from our nation, history, land, language, culture, birth rights, etc. The Moors brought civilization to Europe and to the Iberian Peninsula—Spain—Seville, Cordoba, Barcelona and over to Lisbon, Portugal even to this day, the ethnic and racial presences of the Moors still dominate the DNA genetic pool of the present day Spanish and Portuguese people. Moorish architecture decorum is very visible in the building styles of the older edifices in these two European nations. But Ali overstood that with his proper nationality the so-called black man in America would be able to exercise his sovereignty as any free and independent people of the earth.

He taught that the Asiatic Black man was Moorish American and declared this by giving us our rightful birthrights, it entitled us just like the Native Americans to land and property rights that are still on the books today. Look at how the workings tools giving to us in the “Circle Seven Holy Koran” by Prophet Noble Drew Ali and pay close attention to how interrelated some of the Moorish Science Doctrine resembles the working tools giving to us in our Speculative Masonic training. This information was taking from the “Circle 7 Holy Koran”,chapter five by Ali and you can draw your own conclusion (some historians and social scientist would argue that Prophet Noble Drew Ali was a Freemason but the Moorish Science Temple would openly dispute Ali’s so-called Masonic connections):

13).Thesetools remind me of the ones we handle in the workshop of the mind where things were made of thought and where we build up character.

14).We use the square to measure all our lines, to straighten out the crooked places of the way, and make the corners of our conduct square.

15). We use the compass to draw circles around our passions and desires to keep them in the bounds of righteousness.

16).We use the axe to cut away the knotty, useless and ungainly parts and make the character symmetrical.

17).We use the hammer to drive home the truth, and pound it in until it is a part of every part.

18).We use the plane to smooth the rough, uneven surfaces of joint, and block, and board that go to build the temple for the truth.

19).The chisel, line, the plummet and the saw all have their uses in the workshop of the mind.

20).And then this ladder with its trinity of steps, faith, hope and love; on it we climb up to the dome of purity in life.

Now, many Masons will say wait a minute, these tools as described by Prophet Drew Ali and the Moorish Science Temple are interpreted and spelled out very similar to many of the emblematic working tools depicted in Speculative Masonry.

To my beloved Christian brothers and sisters who have accepted Jesus the Christ as your personal Savior. But lets be clear, I love Jesus (you call him Jesus over here in the West); Jesus did not speak English so his original name was not Jesus; he either spoke the much older languages of Hebrew or Amharic and his name translated as Yeshuaa Ben Yosef or Isa Bin Yusuf (Jesus the son of Joseph). Jesus was Black and African, he was a dark skinned Nubian brother (more kinship to the present day Afro-Palestinians those found in city of Jericho), even the Bible describes him as having kinky hair and dark skin.

But we have allowed this white man to use the false images of Christ painted by either Leonardo Divinci or Michael Angelo to convince you that Jesus was Caucasian and white, one of the biggest lies told to deceive humanity was to misrepresent Jesus true ethnic and racial identity (and even at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. Constantine and his council would establish the Nicean Creed and distort the true teaching of Jesus the Christ and Christianity). But I am here to tell you that Jesus was African and black. He was a Nubian Hebrew Israelite—who has linage kinship to the oppressed Palestinians of the present day West Bank and Gaza Strip. Jesus would be against Zionism and he would be standing with the Palestinians in their quest for freedom, Justice and Equality.

To my brothers who are members of the Nation of Islam (the Black Muslims), I extend my salutations of in the name of Allah who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad; who came to North America in 1930 seeking to find his messenger the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (he was the first begotten of the dead) one who slept amongst the dead and raised him up and giving him the assignment to going after the 144,000 so-called American Negro that also slept. He taught Muhammad the nature of God and the Devil and for 44 years Muhammad was a perfect example of what it meant to pool your resources and do-for-self (he said my teachings can be summed up in six words ‘accept your own and be yourself’).

Master Fard Muhammad mysteriously disappeared in 1934, but Elijah would raise up the likes of Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan and Muhammad Ali, it would be the life giving teachings that allowed these men who would change the world. Muhammad taught that we needed some land and this good earth that we can call our own (he also taught separation). I greet you in the Arabic language of paradise of As- Salaam Alaikum (it only means peace this was the language that all the prophets spoke). Lastly, Elijah Muhammad was a Mason and overstood the lessons of the Poor Widow’s Son on a much deeper level.

Jesus (Yeshuaa Ben Yosef) challenged the Roman Government and Pilate—he also challenged the Pharisees, Sadducees and Sanhedrins (how about you?) Jesus or Yeshuaa was at war with the oppressor and Elite of his day according to the Holy the Bible (fighting principalities in high places indeed Jesus had a government on his shoulders). However, the false Portrayal of the Divine and the false image of that white Jesus have subconsciously and sublimely impacted the psyche of Black people for over 300 years, we have equated God with being white and has determined the white race to be superior and viewed ourselves as being inferior. This thinking has had a devastating affect on the political, economic and social development of black people in America and throughout the world. Greetings in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit (if Jesus was here today he too would greet you in peace). My mother in her living room had a picture of a blonde haired white Jesus and right next to him, she had a picture of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., hugging. Thus, as a child I drew and painted my mother a picture of a black Jesus and I took down that false image of Jesus the Christ (laughter). Some of you in here today are still praying to a Caucasian Jesus.

To my Hebrew brothers and sisters Shalom Alaikum; we are the original Jews; The Falasha Jews and Beta Israeli Jews that originated in Africa Ethiopia (a black land that was never colonized and they fought the Italians and won—the Greeks called them the land of the burnt faces). We were followers of Judaism in Kush long before the Askhnazi Jew and Kazar Jews converted to Judaism and exited the hills and cavesides of Europe 6,000 years ago and before Abraham and Moses knew anything about monotheism (these Falasha Jews had a version of the Torah and divine law long before the Biblical prophets); they Europeans Jews are mere imposters and were not the original inhabitants of Israel.

The true Jews were Nubian Hebrew Israelite who gave Musa or Moses ten of ancient laws and commandments from the Kemetic scribes (or the 42 Negative Confessions) the book Cometh Forth by Day or the Egyptian Book of the Dead is our reference. Dr. Mualana Karenga translated the ancient Kemetic Husia. Dr. Yosef Ben A.A. Jochannan in his book Black man of the Nile and His Family, he writes about the original Jews. The book Cometh Forth by Daypopular called the "Egyptian Book of the Dead" (one version translated by Wallis Budge) in which from my comparative theological study of the Bible, it is clear evidence that many scriptures were lifted and taking out of "Egyptian Book of the Dead" by European scholars.

We also know that there is a book titled, The Lost Books of the Bible, which speaks to more ancient books that were taken out of the Bible by King James (between 1604-1611). Also there is an original book titled, The Book of Enochthat was lifted from the Bible. According to Brad Lemley Director, Natural Health Solutions in an article titled, “Jesus Lost Words” stated: “There have been hidden scrolls revealed An Egyptian religious leader called Athanasius even outlawed this ancient text way back in the year 367. . . Biblical scholars call it one of “the most extraordinary archeological discoveries in the modern world…” but only recently have we begun to understand just how important it is. In December 1945, while digging for fertile soil for his crops, a local farmer stumbled onto this ancient scroll. He found it in a long-forgotten cave near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. In order to protect the text, early Christians buried these secret words of Jesus in the desert… where they remained for nearly 2,000 years. Knowledge of its existence was mostly lost, aside from a few references in ancient Christian texts”. You already know that Dr. Yosef Ben A.A. Jochannan wrote about how the 10 commandments were lifted from the 42 Negative Confessions. And as I stated above Dr. Maulana Karenga translated an ancient Kemetic Text titled, Selections from the Husia: Sacred Wisdom from Ancient Egypt which predated the Bible by thousands of years. I know that most of the Bible has it roots in older African sources.

Since this topic is on Freemasonry: this is the 4^th month of the year, 4 represent foundation and the number 7 is a deep spiritual number in all enlightened philosophical schools of thought, the number 7 is revered as one of the most spiritual and sacred numbers in the science of numerology. The number 7 is a God Number and today’s date is April 7, 2016 do you see the 1+ 6= seven and the seventh (7^th) Alphabet is the letter G, which is deeply rooted in Masonic knowledge (it is correlated to the science of Geometry and God viewed by some as having the attribute of the Grand Architect of the Universe) and the physical address of Stanford L. Warren Library on Fayetteville Street in Durham, NC is 1201 1 +2=3+1=4, which represent foundation. All this have a spiritual and Masonic connection and works in the scheme of Sacred Geometry.

How do we define Freemasonry? Most Masonic scholars define it as “a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols” . The European robber barons looked at the Medu Neter (the Greeks misconstrued the higher Kemetic language by referring to the Medu Neter as Hieroglyphics, a corrupt description) inscribed on the walls of the pyramids and had no real understanding of what the so-called pyramids and burial chambers meant. The esoteric inscriptions were outside of the Europeans ability to decipher and interpreted what they saw, as well as experienced in coming in contact with this ancient spiritual systems in Kemet, because the Romans and the Greeks had nothing in its schools of thought at that time to measure the Kemetic Gods nor record and measure this superior civilization, which was rooted in the beginning of time (this knowledge went back over 76 trillion years ago). Plato, Socrates and Aristotle deep down in their souls knew that Kemet as a civilization recognized that God had been present and had walked amongst these mortal beings and had guided these Nubian Masters—everything the Europeans saw and witnessed from the Kemites were rooted in the higher spiritual sciences that were coded in mathematical and scientific formulas (unknown to the minds and schools of thoughts of the Europeans).

The Medu Neter as a language even appeared to them to be foreign because the system of communication was coded in formulas that were so profound, it was outside of their knowledge base, which gave way to a superior system of alchemy and architecture and engineering that even to this very day have baffled Western scientist. They do not understand the divine numerology and the higher elevation of Nubian people who had descended and ascended in space, a place reserved for the Grand Architect of the Universe—these Kemetic Nubians had become Gods based on the transmission of the spiritual sciences. Once again the Greeks called the inscriptions on the sacred tombs Hieroglyphics.

They could not understand what Maat meant and Ausur (Osiris), Asset (Isis) and Huru (Horace) the original Trinity stories that came before and predate the symbolic and allegorical story of Hiram Abiff (reference JSM Ward Who was Hiram Abiff?),the Master Builder who was raised and resurrected from the dead; this ancient tale of death and resurrection went back to Kemet—the story of immortality of the soul. Also, there were other pagan stories relating to the birth, death, resurrection and ascension (according to Kersey Graves in his monumental book titled:The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors (or Christianity Before Christ), which predated the Masonic tale of Hiram Abiff, the Master Builder and the similar story that was associated with Jesus, the Christ (or properly known as Yeshua Ben Yosef) derived from the Kemetic tales of Osiris (Ausur) or much older sources. These ancient Pagan tales even predated the virgin birth story of the Savior born on December 25, but these tales only implied that man concocted their religious theology from studying the winter and summer solstice (the death and resurrection of the sun).

The charting of the sun, moon and stars—the understanding of the two Masonic columns—Boaz (strength) and Jachin (beauty) giving to us as Entered Apprentice the first degree of Freemasonry, it was leading us towards understanding universal laws and spiritual divine principles, it was pointing us towards understanding the in depth knowledge in studying the macrocosm and the microcosm universe (so as it is above, so it’s below). The above mentioned columns were pointing us to go after the universal knowledge found in the Celestial and Terrestrial earth and universal plains, it was meant to open up the philosophical third eye and lead us to the understanding of the interrelations and interconnectedness with the heavens and earth; this too is rooted in the study of Geometry and Astronomy (the science of mathematics/numerology and the Zodiac has tremendous value) in the realm of the esoteric.

The Masonic Lodge is symbolic and emblematic of how the ancients charted the sun, moon and stars and when Imhotep (the father of modern medicine) constructed the first step pyramid, he set it up due East and due West (the three principles officers of the lodge the Worshipful Master, Senior Warden and the Junior Warden—it is not coincidental that the Worshipful Master sits in the East (symbolic of Amen-Ra and the sun), the Light and radiation of the ancient knowledge of all the philosophical master teachers should emanate from the representative of the sun and the brothers should revolve around truth, morality and the wisdom of enlightenment being exemplified by the Master of the lodge (how can we have a teacher unless one be sent).

The working tools used to construct the great pyramids were unknown to this world, but the perfection of the perpendiculars, horizontals and the cubic square roots, were an indication that Pyramid Builders were Gods that had been exposed to geometric-mathematical codes and languages that were so sophisticated that the entire Nile Valley was created as a glimpse of heaven on earth the burial chambers went beyond the mere preservation of dead but symbolic housed the souls of the original people and the sacredness was not in the embalmment or scientific chemicals nor the mummification, it went beyond eternal life and the immortality of the soul.

Although, Albert G. MacKey, Albert Pike and Manly P. Hall were prolific Masonic writers and thinkers and even Masonic writers of this century like Allen Roberts, Robert Lomas, Christopher Knight. The scholars of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Oxford, the Sorbonne, Stanford, etc., none of them understood the true keys of unlocking the mind of symbolic Hiram (the black man and woman of America who was hit in the head and brought on a westerly course) who left some unfinished work on the trestle board as he was the mastermind behind that architecture layout and construction of King Solomon’s Temple; thus, as perfect as the pyramids were in Kemet (Egypt) they only represented a sign of the work (esoteric, Occult and Gnostic) that still lie ahead for the original man (one of greatest hidden secrets is that the Black man is God and has a mind equalvent to the Grand Architect of the Universe).

In the "Masonic Quiz Book" we find questions and answers concerning the Ancient Egyptians and the Great Pyramids:

Question:"From what people are most of our Masonic symbols taken?" Answer: "From the Egyptians, who formed the world's oldest civilization."

Question:"What country of ancient times was the cradle of all the mysteries?"Answer:"At one time Egyptwas in possession of all the learning and religion that was to be found in the world. It extended to other nations the influence of its sacred rites and esoteric doctrines."

Question:"Who built the Pyramid of Gizah and for what purpose? Answer:"Khufu, for the study of the stars."

Question:"What are the dimensions of the Great Pyramid of Gizah?"Answer:"Its base is 761 feet 8 inches on each side and it is 485 feet high. It was built of large stones, none less than thirty feet long and five feet square quarried at a great distance, transported hundreds of miles, crossing the river Nile, and raised to their lofty position in the structure by methods unknown to the engineers of today."

Question:"What is Alchemy?"Answer:"A so-called division of chemistry, treating of the art:

Question:"By what other name was the science of Alchemy called?"
Answer:"The Hermetic Philosophy, because it is said to have been first taught by Hermes Trismegistus in Egypt."

Question: "Who was Pythagoras?"Answer:"One of the most celebrated of the Greek philosophers"Question:"How many years did Pythagoras have to wait for initiation into the hidden mysteries of Egypt?"Answer:"Twenty (20) years."

Question:"What is the forty-seventh (47th) problem of Euclid?"Answer:"In any right angled triangle, the square which is described upon the side subtending the right angle, is equal to squares described upon the sides which contain the right angle."

My brothers, we have a greater job duty and responsibility, which is our Enlightenment and wisdom must now lead us outside of the Blue Lodge, Red House, Consistory and Shrine Temple and use this knowledge to get deeper involved in the community as frontliners. We should establish pacts and alliances with other progressive groups and organizations such as: the Nation of Islam, the Nations of Gods and Earths, Black lives Matter, Black Pan-Hellenic Greek Lettered Fraternities and Sororities, the Black Moors and those that follow the Prophet Noble Drew Ali, Sunni Islam, Bahia Faith, Black Progressive Pan-African Christians, black labor movements, Rastafarians, Black Nationalist, Pan-Africanist, Afrocentric thinkers, etc.

We should not be afraid to build with these brothers and sisters and be able to stand perpendicular on the square and compass. What are we seeking? More LIGHT in Masonry. The greatest knowledge that we can attain is the knowledge of self. We sit and read about Cush, Jerusalem, Egypt, Meccaand Medina--these are real places and constitute the history of the Nubian original man. We have empowering knowledge in our Masonic teachings and lessons and yet even after we are raised to a living perpendicular many of remain dead in actions and deeds.

THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS, WHAT PILL ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE BLACK MAN AND WOMAN OF AMERICA?

By Fahim A. Knight-El

What is Free Thinking? There are probably many definitions to this question that are palpable; but Free Thinking is all about one having the ability and willingness to rises above false labels and
divisions, in particular being able to objectively dissect and navigate through the propaganda and disinformation, as well as, the distortions of philosophy, history, religion, etc., which have been taught and misconstrued by the Western World, but simultaneously when you have the knowledge of self, it provides you with the necessary tools to explore philosophical thoughts with more clarity in order to determine what is truth and what is false—only having the proper knowledge will allow us to make the proper assessments and evaluations when examining world civilizations and world events (in particular determining where we fit in as a race of people).

This moves us beyond the ‘Negro’ and so-called ‘African-American’ social and ethno racial paradigm and status—this ethno-racial product was created and manufactured in America. But I want to make it perfectly clear that a lot has gone wrong in the way this world’s order functions and operates in which has caused a deviation from the path of God or the Supreme Being and is functioning contradictory to the universal laws. I have been writing, teaching and involved in grassroots activism, which to educate, and organize so-called black people in America and all people of African descent around exploring tactics and strategies to move us forward politically, economically and socially.

I use to carry this little book in my back pocket written by James Allen titled, “As a Man Thinketh” and other Europeans scholars such Eckhart Toller and many other enlightened European scholars have attempted to delve into this spiritual knowledge that was originally explored by the likes of Khalil Gabron in his book titled the “Prophet.” Thus, all of my writings and articles have been systematically well thought out with having the intent of challenging the norm by seeking to explore human and universal outcomes that are more God-centered and in attempting to look deeper into human behavior in order to search out and answer the causes and effects, which has contributed to our decline; even if it meant talking about the naked truth and exposing white supremacy in which many of the topics that I have covered over the years makes Negroes and Caucasians uncomfortable—racism is a disease (which only truth has the capability of uprooting) and I refuse to allow us to live in denial because Chattel Slavery for 310 years left people of African descent permanently scarred that continues to impact them sociologically and psychologically even in 2016.

If our leaders and social scientist continue to overlook and negate this variable, we will remain second-class citizens and our quest for complete freedom will never be realized and will only contribute to future black generations remaining on the modern plantation. I also sought to explain over time the scientific and philosophical principles that were needed to shift the debate outside of the realm of emotionalism towards viewing ideologies, thoughts and human behavior from the vanish point of one who is of African descent (who thinks outside of 'Negrology") and who understands our collective conscious and our collective fight for liberation. I have always attempted to offer arguments that challenged the popular version of the truth by using African-centered rational and logical models debunking negative antiquated principles that have been implored (that has produced long-term systemic affects) and has contributed to our social entrapment. I stand by my research and commitment to offering more empirical explanations always challenging white supremacy concept models that has viewed, “Africa as the dark continent and it gave nothing to world civilization”.

This perspective is the foundation that gave rise to the European history of enslavement of the darker people of the planet—plundering, raping, destruction, land thief, murder, stealing of resources, etc., of indigenous people since his 6, 000 years existence on the planet. He had a history that was rooted in delusionary reality. He painted the image of God as being white and told us that Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef was white who had blond hair and blue eyes), he took his God complex throughout the planet falsely viewing himself as being superior to other races and cultures (this is nothing but delusionary behavior when you create a system of white supremacy and carry it out politically,
socially and economically). They used the missionaries to steal the minds of the indigenous people every place they went on the planet. For example, they decimated the original people of Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and completely wiped out the indigenous people of North and South America. Perhaps you do not understand that Eurocentrism is the zenith of a culture and
a history of a narcissistic people's culture and history being forced on other civilized people. This is pure history and facts. The entire world is turning against Western Europe and Eastern Europe, it is ISIS and the Islamic world today, but the universe has turned against them because of their reactionary behavior on the planet. Now, they are safe nowhere on the planet because of their position of greed and imperialism. The Sheeple is hastened its own slaughter because of a refusal to detach themselves from the plan of the Hidden Hand and Invisible Rulers. The planet wants peace and justice. But as a warmonger, their history will continue to be written in blood and war.

We now live in a society that has entered into a new political, economic and social paradigm, which has evolved along side globalism and an age of information. This transition somewhat had its beginnings with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, which brought an end to the Cold War and ultimately led to the changing of world orders. The United States entered into a series of wars and conflicts in the early 1990s, in particular in Desert Storm and Desert Shield and in 2001 and 2003 beginning with the Iraq War and two years later the invasion of Afghanistan. Most Americans believed that Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin-Laden posed an eminent danger and threat to the United States national security. This culminated with the attack and bombing of the World TradeCenteron September 11, 2001.

Thus, after living and reading about the 9/11 hoax that killed of over 3,000 American citizens and our ongoing conflicts with so-called radical Islam and Muslim extremists these events led me to think deeper about being a so-called American and although the question of my patriotism had been shattered long before these events manifested themselves. This writer, believes that patriotism is rooted in one's loyalty to something greater than themselves. It first must be tied to a theory and belief that there is nothing greater to uphold. This disposition must be undergirded and supported by one also embracing nationalism and are willing to uphold the values, standards, principles, laws, codes of conduct and all that governs this nations jurisprudence system and it rights to sovereignty.

For example, I watched the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in which my interest was to see and applaud the African American/African athletes and to celebrate their accomplishments. They all seem so proud to stand on the podium as so-called Americans in receiving their Gold, Silver and
Bronze metals and seeing the American flag being risen and the United States National Anthem being sung must have sent goose bumps down their spines. But even I had to immediately gather myself in recognizing what these young black athletes had accomplished for America was plausible (yet I could not allow these global sport and play games to overshadow the turbulent racial history
that so-called African Americans have suffered under the American flag for over 450 years). I could only think about the way black people were treated by United States Government and the U.S. police departments at home, it is this contradiction that immediately soured my taste which to accept their celebration would be an act of hypocrisy on my behalf. I could not share in their American
patriotism because to do so would have been less than genuine. I looked at Brazil, which was colonized by the Portuguese and next to the United States, it was

Brazil

where the most African slaves were transported against their will during the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage.

The media mostly showed you the light skinned mulatto Brazilian, but there are over 50 million black Brazilians who are descendants of ex-slaves that the media in Rio do not show you. So I will always salute our right to be treated as human beings and not just be celebrated during athletic events to add to America's medal count. I salute our right to attain complete freedom and be treated under the banner of freedom, justice, and equality. Moreover, anyone of these African American, Afro-Caribbean and or African athletes, etc., could be killed in America by white racist police law enforcement. So as we raise the American flag, I think about Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, etc., and the recent deaths of other Black men at the hands of racist American police officers. I think about the over 100 million African slaves who were kidnapped, raped, dehumanized and enslaved (they were Americans and my tears are for them, my and your ancestors). Yes, Black Lives Matter beyond these damn Olympic Games; do not ask me to stand when the flag is being raised and put my hand over my heart when you are still killing us in the streets. One of my idols Muhammad Ali threw his gold medal (Ali won a gold medal at the 1960 Rome Games as a light-heavy weight boxer) in the river. Ali was a free black man and debunk the shackles of a modern day slave. Treat black people as true Americans and not just during the Olympic Games. BlACK LIVES MATTER BEYOND ADDING GOLD METALS TO AMERICA'S COUNT.

My position isn’t about treason and betrayal or being anti-government. However, this writer thinks that for real patriotism to exist in 2016 there must be a level of tolerance that is taught on the primary school level in which young impressionable minds are exposed to the diversity of cultures, races, nationalities, religions, etc. Also alleviate the negative stereotypes and propaganda about people who may differ from us and allow people to have a dissenting voice and create more avenues where ideas, thoughts, opinions, beliefs and differs of philosophy can be freely and openly debated not just in the ivory towers, think tanks, corporate media, but on the grassroots level. People need to know and understand why we should they back the U.S. Government foreign policy agenda and is it worth risking our lives in the name of flag waving by suiting up militarily and going to foreign battle fields to fight for causes that benefits the super and ultra rich,--that only haunts some soldiers and military men/women upon returning with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental health illnesses; their patriotism is often shattered and brought into question when they are confronted with racism and disillusionment upon returning home (they fought not to spread democracy but to make the world safer for the Elite dynastic families to continue to exploit other nations natural resources and wealth). Some grow to understand that they were used only as a United States Government foreign policy tool.

The teaching of civics and social studies has to be improved to reflect that indeed we have entered into a new world order that is more dangerous and volatile. The war on terror and terrorism have to be an intellectually engaging conversation whereas students can embrace and trust that their government and nation deserves their un-daunting loyalty to uphold, defend and protect the United States Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies. This can only take place if we begin educating young people on matters of Homeland Security and re-inspiring them to study the brilliance of the founding Fathers and the framers of the U.S. Constitution this possibly will invigorate a new generation of patriots that will have no interest in becoming an enemy combatants and/or joining onto America's enemies. They will be more interested in upholding the freedoms and there will be no more need to administer oaths and swear-ins but their loyalty and patriotism will forever be rooted deep in their hearts. I am not optimistic that this will ever occur.

We have to observe all these recent global events very carefully and be able to look beyond the Talking Heads and the propaganda and disinformation that are being spewed by the mass mediums. This phenomenon will only continue to hasten us quicker towards the New World Order and the One World Government agenda. Thus, this is why it is most imperative now that we have to be more diligent in our studies of the knowledge of self in order to be able to properly decipher world affairs. Europe and the Europeans are in trouble and the collapse of the white man’s world is inevitable (his 6,000 years rule is us over). But we have to understand that to continue to embrace his Eurocentric value system will also mean our demise as well. He has even more devious plans to attempt to expand his global dominance over the indigenous people of the planet by using large scale deceptive ploys to exploit the resources of Africa and the globe. If you get a chance go to the Internet and search Dr. Frances Cress Welsing book titled, "The Isis Papers" and read her perspective on white Supremacy. She was one of my teachers who recently passed and in her death, we lost a giant.

They seek to discredit viewpoints with no empirical evidence and desire for us to overlook the global political, economic and social conditions of humanity. Moreover, irresponsible uses of the word conspiracy theory in order to create doubt in others minds, but just take a look at humanity's condition and the metaphor analogy of the red pill and the blue pill will lead us to see and understand that 85% of humanity has been duped by a small minority of the Invisible Rulers and the Hidden hand (the 10%). The Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, House of Rothschilds, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc., exist and are reaping havoc on the entire planet. But there has been a paradigm shift and ignorance can no longer justify or protect us from what lie ahead Yet, there are some of us who have chosen to seek various Paths of enlightenment and who are not fearful of opening our minds and hearts to critically evaluating all social conditions, thus even if it means thinking outside the box.

They want us to believe that there is something taboo and fundamentally wrong with entertaining alternative viewpoints. The awakening is occurring and it does not matter how you or I seek to interpret and/or choose to dismiss this occurrence. Now, you cannot have it both ways; there are many thoughts and individuals who have chosen to speak truth to power in which so-called 'mainstream' media and propaganda machines and their intellectual puppet talking heads would condemn and dismiss as mere fantasies or unintelligible conspiracies that have no place in the classrooms of academic research because it lacks credibility. But that is no reason for us not to consider those who dare to offer alternative viewpoints and reject them because of how mainstream media views them.

I have always viewed the world from the macrocosm and microcosm unity and inter-connectedness perspective —demonstrating no separation. I do not proclaim to belong to any of the faith traditions—I have traveled many enlightened paths and many of the faith traditions have helped to lead me to my awakening stage. I only consider myself as a student who recognize and accepts the imperfection in man. I have drawn from many good and solid philosophical principles, which can be found in Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc. Most of ancient Masters, Sages, and Gurus taught true spiritual principles and shun ego driven dogmas; however, often those that came after them altered and corrupted the true principles and selfish guidance that they offered to uplift humanity. If I could put a label on my acquired wisdom, it would be enlightenment in which I have a moral obligation to awaken others around me to the truth and if nothing else arouses one's curiosity to think outside the box.

Now, since I am a Blogger, I have always found it to be imperative to share these ideals with the broader African community. Some of what I write might irritate traditional believers and worshippers and/or those that are members of organized religion, but it will have traction with Free Thinkers and outside the box enlightened minds. I would like to think that my life body of work challenges our humanity and attempt to point out the social, psychological and spiritual contradictions and suggest how we could become better human beings. These type lessons require for one to look deeper into their souls and spirits and have a deeper desire to come in harmony with all the divine universal principles and laws.

Moorish American Quest for independents and a Nationality: The Pending Question to Freedom

By Fahim A. Knight-El

Let me first go on public record and state that I am not a Grand Sheik nor am I an authority on Moorish Science jurisprudence and/or historical authority on the doctrines, philosophy, theology, law, etc., pertaining to the various Moorish ideological movements and temples (I hold no position as a Moorish Science representative; I am writing this article strictly as a layperson). But I started looking at the Moorish sovereignty and nationality argument a little closer when Dr. Malachi Z. York-El, the enigmatic leader of theUnited Nuwaubian Nation of Moors who was indicted and convicted within U.S. Federal Courts in 2004, and proclaimed his racial and ethnic linage of being Moor, indigenous American and having ancestral roots to the Aboriginals known as the Native Americans (York-El even had lawful international documentation (passport and dual citizenship) that he was a Liberian (West African) diplomat and a Liberian national in which the former Liberian Senator Francis Y.S. Garlawolu was there in the U.S. Court to validate Dr. York’s claim). There have been more qualified and authentic Muur defendants than York-El who had made similar legal arguments within the United States Courts over the years and many Muurs perhaps saw Dr. York’s plea as a mere opportunist who only used this legal strategy in an attempt to avoid prosecution. But Dr. York’s case led me to assess and evaluate, as well as, investigate the question of nationality relative to those known in the United States of America as so-called ‘African Americans’ who now number over 50 million descendents of Muurs ancestry.

York challenged and put forth an unsuccessful legal argument that as a foreign diplomat he was immune to being held in U.S. custody and prosecuted under the U. S.jurisprudence system and should have been turned over to the Liberian Consulate and Embassy in WashingtonDC. as any other foreign diplomat who were arrested under U.S. Jurisdictional law (Dr. York was right in many ways); Dr. Malachi York-El during his hearing in U.S. Federal Court in 2004 stated: “"Your Honor, with all due respects to your government, your nation, and your court, we the indigenous people of this land have our own rights, accepted sovereign, our own governments. We are a sovereign people, Yamassee, Native American Creeks, Seminole, Washitaw Mound Builders. And all I'm asking is that the Court recognize that I am an indigenous person. Your court does not have jurisdiction over me. I should be transferred to the Moors Cherokee Council Court in which I will get a trial by juries of my peers. I cannot get a fair trial, Your Honor, if I'm being tried by the settlers or the confederates. I have to be tried by Native Americans as a Native American. That's my inalienable rights, and it's on record.”

York-El claimed to have been a Moorish diplomatic (of Muur nationality and citizenry, and not an American citizen) as I stated above during his unsuccessfulRacketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations(RICO) trial that involved many counts of sexual molestation allegations. He and his legal team were of the opinion that he should have been afforded and granted diplomatic immunity from these charges—freed and allowed to return to Africa or perhaps turned over to a Native American tribal council (York’s arrest was a violation of hisHabeas corpus rights) but the U.S. courts rejected Dr. York's legal defense because I believe that his defense team led by Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz did not understand the depth of York's nationality claim, it was even bigger than York himself it involved a 400 year redress of high crimes against humanity and they were not going let the cat out the bag because of the collective legal implications it would have on reshaping the Muurs (40-50 so-called American Negroes of the United States of America) quest for not only a nationality, which would have included reparations and a mandate to turn over historical sovereign lands belonging to those Muurs who arrived to the Americas long before Christopher Columbus. The Moors question the legitimacy of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution and whether not the so-called Negroes were ever given the lawful opportunity to question and make the decision to be recognized as a so-called American; their U.S.citizenship status was given to them by their former slave masters. Let me also be clear this article is not about Dr. Malachi York-El, I am only using his case as a prologue to discuss Muurs nationality, sovereignty, reparation and independence.

President Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln-Douglas debate on September 18, 1858 stated: "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

However, I think Dr. York did not totally understand the gravity of the Uniform Commercial Code; the United States by law is a corporation and either in 1913 or 1933 is when the United Stated Government and/or the governmental corporation abandoned the gold standard currency system, thus, all printed U.S. currency, which use to be backed by gold and silver no longer existed, but the U.S. monetary system for over 80 years had been propped up by the Straw man deception (the legal battles of thereunto would even alter how sovereignty and writs and petition would be received in United States Courts (relative to martial law versus civil law) and this also would impact the interpretative question of nationality from a constitutional perspective. If one legal case of Moorish nationality is won in United Nations international court of law, it will forever change and alter our collective paradigm and position in the world and justify the so-called American Negro quest for reparations and insure a present and future identifiable nationality parlayed by the right to self-determination (affirmation and proclamation of freedom beyond the 13^th Amendment) —the quest would be a testament tied to war crimes committed by the United States, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Germany, United Kingdom, etc., who were active participants in the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage who knowingly and willingly committed acts of genocide that was inflicted on a people for over 310 years, which involved the buying and selling and enslavement over 100 million Africans, a gross and horrific violation of the African descendents human rights.

I do not mean going to civil court and petitioning as an individual to wear a Moorish identity; in particular “Bey” or “El” or any surname that separates and denotes historical, genetic and cultural links beyond our Negro status in America, this would only be considered a miscued victory (these are only small personal legal victories which will impact adherents of the Moorish Science doctrine but will not determine U.S. and international policy relative our people of the Diasporas). The legal battle for a nationality will be the most challenging because the slave masters and the captives created long term systemic practices to disconnect blacks from their Moorish history and tradition—denied the right to speak their native tongues, forced to accept European names, divided and scattered from their original descendent lands, given the slave master’s religion of Christianity and made us into Negroes. Now, the so-called American Negro for 400 years still remain unsettled, divested and stripped of their birth rights (this dehumanization plan had many intents free labor, and genocide was the ultimate objective).

This international legal battle will set a lawful precedent (to ensue a historical declaration as original claimants of indigenous Moorish ancestry which to force the United States Government (and Allies) dating back to the 1440s and returning all seize assets, property rights, land (held by the Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve) and would even grant Muurs, African Americans, Negroes, Blacks, Ethiopians, Colored, Asiatics, etc., entitlement to the gold and silver housed in vaults in Fort Knox, Kentucky, which was accumulated from 310 years of slave labor and stolen resources from the inhabitants of the Muurs biological kin the so-called Native Americans. However, I am not optimistic that this would ever occur, because it would take a comparable fighting machine equal and/or superior to the U.S.military and without a military to enforce a U.S. Supreme Court or a United Nations decision to ensure compliance to repatriate the original indigenous Moors (this argument would be met on deaf ears). The quest for freedom, justice and equality as a people who have been denied a divine and lawful right to a nationality still remains lingering.

Nevertheless, the Moorish argument will continue to be an uphill political, economic and social battle within the legal schools thought but it is gaining traction. We all have become collateral and our birth certificates were used as asset leverages in which private bankers working in conjunction with the United States Government has redeemed over $650.000 dollars per citizen (some scholars have argued that this amount has ballooned to over 7 million dollars) this redeemable money is tied to your sovereignty; thus U.S. Currency now function as Fiat currency in which the ‘money’ or monetary exchange has been reduced to a Federal Reserve note that cannot be redeemed for gold or silver. The ‘Banksters’ turned its citizens into instrument of commodity and created a Straw man economy. Brother Knight-El, what does this have to do with sovereignty and nationality? Prophet Noble Drew Ali understood before his death in 1929 that the so-called American Negroes and Asiatics by law (Blacks Law dictionary defines the difference between what is law and what is legal) that our sovereignty would be tied to nationality and he strategically and legally created a religious domicile under the heading of the Moorish Science Temple of America Incorporated; this is some heavy information and some of it is even over my head as a layperson historian. The straw man was/is a fictional person(s) who has no true identity (yet U.S. citizens birth certificates are traded like stocks and bonds and those Invisible Rulers on Wall Street have systematically withheld your right and our right as a people to declare our nationality as Muurs descendants).

We have sought and declared our rights to a nationality in order sit amongst other nations of the earth as members of the United Nations (we have never sat in the U.N. as an independent and sovereign nation of indigenous people). The entire straw man concept and how we as U.S. citizens are traded as stocks and commodity is essentially based on us never declaring the legal and monetary value of our birth certificates and how the United States serve as a Corporation (pursuant to serving as the legal beneficiary) and many of us have involuntarily signed on and the 14th amendment of the United States Constitution is the lock and key. So unless we decipher the United States Constitution and prove that the Federal Reserve System functions outside of U.S. Law and as a private central bank holds the key to making us financially whole because what they established on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia in 1913 was one of the greatest silentCoup d'étatand crimes ever committed against the citizens of the United States of America. The Moors of the

Americas

claim to have signed legislation that gives them the rights to be recognized as a separate nationality from ex-slaves so-called American Negroes (the so-called American Negro sold his birthrights under the 13^th Amendment, 14^THAmendment, and 15^TH Amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

We must revisited the legal treaties and legal agreements that were signed between the top level United States Government officials and Moors; Ali wrote about these national and international pacts between the indigenous people who were kidnapped and brought to the shores of the Americas and the eventual diplomacy between the white man and the Blackmoors. Although, our revolutionary scholars have always argued that the original people were in the

Americas

long before the European expedition voyages. However, even in 2016, we as a scattered, homeless and vagabond people still do not have a collective and agreed nationality in which is recognized by the United Nations (perhaps this is the biggest piece to the Moorish argument and in my opinion will be an uphill battle).

I actually mentioned this point in a previous article that I had written on April 6, 2014 on the Muurs titled, “Moorish American Sovereignty: Myth or Reality.” Some years ago Minister Silis Muhammad (leader of the Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia) had petition the United Nations Human Rights Commission on behalf of 40-50 million Diasporian Africans who he deemed were victims of Chattel Slavery relative to receiving some of the worst human brutality and dehumanization treatment comparable to none on the earth when you look at the effects this had on the original people for 310 years.

Minister Muhammad charged the European nations and the

United States

with participating in genocide, ethno-genocide and crimes against humanity. He and his team of lawyers filed their legal grievances with the U.N. Human Rights Commission only to be denied because the so-called Negroes of America had no agreed nationality or identity that was accepted by the United Nations and therefore there petition was denied. Minister Muhammad re-filed his petition declaring black Americans under a new nationality called "Afro Descendants" in order to move this legal maneuver forward.

Prophet Noble Drew Ali issued the Moorish Science Temple of America, Inc. 'Nationality Cards', which stated, "This is your nationality and identification card for the Moorish Science Temple of America, and birthrights for the Moorish Americans, etc. We honor all of the Divine Prophets: Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and Confucius. May the blessings of the God of our father Allah, be upon you that carry this card. I do hereby declare that you are a Moslem under the Divine Laws of the Holy Koran of Mecca. Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice."

I was turned on to Brother Prince Uriel Bey's works (a Moorish Science scholar and philosopher and peace be unto him and may Allah look favorably upon him) by a brother named Fennell Bey and since May 6, 2016, we had established a line of communication. He started sending me Youtube clips and provocative articles, which was definitely outside the box type information. I owe a debt of gratitude to brother Fennell Bey for finding me worthy to share wisdom that was rooted in the deep esoteric and Mysticism of the Moorish Science doctrine and philosophical teachings. I also owe him an apology because I got so busy that I could not answer all his emails, but I am grateful for this brother and his patience he instructed me to read all Prince Uriel Bey’s (up until that point I had never heard of Brother Prince Uriel Bey or his works) work titled, The Consecrated Talisman 'Salmagundi' - The Pi Exponent, Oeconomicus, Artificium EtCommercium and Atmaurium Matria Mea (My Country Atmaurium) I consider myself to be a novice and to weigh in on Brother Bey’s scholarship, it might be prematurely for me to give a complete analysis.

Even as I write this article I probably would have to better familiarize myself with his extensive views on ancient history, theological events and geography, racial and ethnic indexing, anthropology, archeology, and his deeper understanding of Moorish and United States jurisprudence—comparative and legal historical contracts that have been written signed and overstanding his views on Sovereignty. Moreover, since he was hedging on practical and esoteric views about the interconnectedness of the Moabites and linking geopolitical ties between lands, languages, racial, etc., indexing between those inhabitants of Iberian Peninsula, which I am assuming their ethno/racial lines between the original inhabitants of Iberia and those original people who occupied the Americas (were in his contentions are of kinship people), perhaps over 16,000 years before the Caucasians arrived these ancient black people were in North America and South America.

From the Book “The Consecrated Talisman ‘Salmagundi’ The Pi Exponent, page 208 stated: “Caput Una…Ancient Moorish – American Land Documents One of the earliest Moorish (Canaanite – Poenicium) documents pertaining to the right, possession and inhabitation of land by blood in the Americas; describing the Annexation of the American Continent to the Iberian Peninsula, both, being of the Present Moorish and Ancient Carthaginian Empire, is the Bourne Stone, in Komassakumkanit Cape Code Bay New England Massachusetts, which exhibits and identifies the Moorish Seal of Hanno-Bey Circa 500 B.C., written or inscribed in North Semitic Iberian-Punic Script, which is a later form of the Moabite Characters, as the Moorish (Moabite and Canaanite) are known to have carried their Semitic Tongue to Spain. Evidence of these Ancient Moorish Documents can be found in the Archives of the Bourne Historical Society, 2) the ‘Book of Ballymote’ – an archaic and rare manuscript housed in the libraries of the Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church; containing priceless information on the Ancient Ogam writings”.

He also extended the Moorish and Moabite ethnic and historical presences to be geographically very expansive (now, some of this information does have scholarly and historical precedent and I am pointing this fact out more as references than me attempting to diminish this brother's credibility as a scholars and what he has offered in his works). I think his overall scholarship rest on many conscious and revolutionary scholars that had gone before him (and he drew upon many of them and yet his information did not just parrot the black scholars who addressed these similar histories, which makes his work intellectually phenomenon and possess a sense of originality). For example, Drusillia Dunjee Houston book titled, "Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire", and I see Brother Uriel Bey expanding on Chancellor Williams' book titled, "Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of Race from 4500 B.C." and also the works of J.A. Rogers three volume set titled, "Sex and Race" ; I see Cheikh Anta Diop works titled, "African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality" and "Civilization and Barbarism", Sterling Means work titled, "Ethiopia and the Missing Link in African History" and Ivansetima works "Africa's Presences in Early Asia" and "They Came before Columbus". Also, I can see the works of Rudolph Windsor titled, "From Babylon to Timbuktu: A History of the Ancient Black Races Including the Black Hebrews" and "The Valley of the Dry Bones: The Conditions That Face Black People in America Today"; Michael Bradley's "The Iceman Inheritance," as well as the works of Gerald Massey book titled, "Ancient Egypt the Light of the World" and John G. Jackson's work "Introduction to African Civilization".

I think his evidence represent a very good synthesizing of theological and political conclusions of modern and ancient sources, which has led him to various hypotheses that concluded with Moorish descendants of the ancient Moabites and/or Canaanites having lawful claims that he ties and preference directly to the teachings of Prophet Noble Drew Ali's "Circle 7 Holy Koran", which gives lawful and legal credence's to our overall question of nationality and sovereignty claims that the Prophet himself wrote about. Both Bey (the student) and the Ali the Master Teacher and Prophet both overstood that our ethnic and racial claims were directly tied to a people described in the Bible as the Moabites who linage can be traced to the so-called American Negro in America (the greatest story never told).

From page 26 we find written in “The Consecrated Talisman ‘Salmagundi’The Pi Exponent …… “regarding the Possession and Annexation of the Americas to the Iberian Peninsula, Carthage (Tunis), Morocco, Numidia, Utica, etc., being those same possessions of North-east, and South-west Africa, including North, Central and South America, Mexico and the Atlantis Islands; serving as lawful evidence so written in the pages of the Circle 7 Holy Koran, for Moorish – Americans, etc., and further evidenced by Proclamation and Sovereign Trust for Moorish – Americans, etc., so written in the pages of the 7 part, Consecrated ‘Talisman’ of ‘The Moorish – American Society of Comprehensive Science’. Recorded as a Legal Deed and Trust Document in the Library of Congress– under Certified Registration No. TXU-1-123-633, and Control (Catalogue) Number 71-330-6977 (U), The Department of Homeland Security –

government.

There is no doubt that Brother Prince Uriel Bey is standing on the foundation of the Prophet's teachings, but like any good Adept or Neophyte he allowed his knowledge and wisdom to evolve and build sound intellectual arguments that documents via historical and theological evidence to prove the Moabite/Muur rights and humanity—he dared to point us to study his views and contentions in order to go after assets and lands (nationally and internationally) and governmental signed treaties involving territories that belongs to the original people of the earth. Now, perhaps many Muurs/Moors do not have the ability to breakdown all this comprehensive ethno/theological and legal jurisprudence language that sways between a pure theological arguments into ancient kingdoms that crosses various continents and concludes with political law that is rooted in more esoteric schools of thought.

This might be viewed by some as being more of an unorthodoxy approach to Ali's primary argument of land and nationality (and desire to have no part in Prince Uriel Bey's Moorish Science derivation and play it safe). Thus, yet, I think it would be difficult for the average layperson Muur to understand Brother Prince Uriel Bey views, although, his philosophical and theoretical analysis makes the Muurs case on much higher and deeper levels. But may this is the cause that has hindered him from gaining attention and much traction in MSTA circles, is because of the level of the study this would involve; and as much as this information is empirical it is literary challenging and to a lesser extent is outside of the traditional Moorish dogma. The question is do many of the Sheiks and Moorish leaders have a willingness to think outside the box (I do know that in every organization there is always a 5%, 10% and 85%). I am not a Moorish scholars or an authority on Moorish Doctrine. I think this brother's work is worth further investigation in particular in the realm of Moorish Science theological jurisprudence. His works are truly HIGH SCIENCE.

My Analysis on the United States and Cuba ’s New Diplomatic Relations and Foreign Policy Initiatives: What Will the Cuban Youth Have to Say About this New Course?

By Fahim A. Knight-El

I have always had a political and culture infatuation with the island nation of Cuba . I became exposed to a book some years ago titled, "Assata: An Autobiography", written by an African American woman named Assata Shakur (aka JoAnne Chesimard) and I have had this book in my library for number of years and I put it on my reading list to re-read based on new current international political events that have taking place between the United States and Cuba. Assata Shakur was a former Black Liberation Army member who was convicted of killing a white New Jersey State Police officer on the New Jersey Turnpike in the early 1970s and was sentenced in a federal court to serve a life of incarceration and has now lived in exile for over 40 years.

She escaped from a woman’s federal prison in Morganton, West Virginia . It was her book titled, "Assata: An Autobiography", that inspired me to wanting to know more about the political, economic and social landscape of Cuba and its people. Shakur was considered to be a militant revolutionary activist who was deeply engaged in the Black Liberation movement and struggle in the late 1960s and 1970s (that perhaps was inspired by the Black Power movement led by Black Panthers organizers Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seales and Stokely Carmichael who radicalized the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee). Upon her escape from U.S. federal custody, she was granted political asylum from President Fidel Castro and has lived in exile in Cuba for close to forty years.

Thus, as Cuba opens up, I would like to be engaged in a fact find mission and to do a documentary of sort, in particular focusing on the Cuban youth and talking with the young people of Cuba and getting their viewpoint on what it’s like living under a Socialist government, but exploring these set of questions strictly from the minds of the Cuban youth. And getting their perspectives relative to assessing and evaluating the Socialist ideology from a political, economic and social vanish point, as well as, getting their views on the United States inspired Hip-Hop culture. Furthermore, exploring what’s been the culture impact Hip-Hop has had on the Cuban youth relative to analyzing both the social and political influences the genre have implored around the world. I would also like to engage the Cuban youth on their perception of the recent so-called normalized and diplomatic relations with the United States (pros and con analysis). And how they felt about the prior economic sanctions and embargoes that had been imposed against Cuba for over fifty years, now that they are being uplifted and do they feel that these new U.S-Cuba foreign policy initiatives will benefit the Cuban people.

I would also like to know, from the Cuban youth about their views and perspectives on their past leader and Commandeer Fidel Castro (the standard bearer of the revolution) who was viewed by some of the outside world as a controversial leader ever since he took office in 1959, and just how much they know about the Cuban Revolution (based on the demographics that I would like to speak to none of them would have been born when Castro overthrew the former Cuban leader Fulgencio Batista). And what are their perspectives on American style Democracy and would they like visiting the United States in order to get a firsthand view of the American people and the American culture.

I would like to use my activism and social agitation knowledge and energy to encourage the Cuban Government and the United States Government, as well as the United States educational institutions of higher learning to consider the educational benefits of pursing a student exchange initiatives with Cuba . I would begin by lobbing American universities and colleges board of governors and/or the board of regents to do everything in their powers to work towards establishing an educational pilot program that is based on a student exchange initiatives between the two nations, which would allow both nations (Cuban and American) university level students to get the international experience of studying abroad. Also, I would use my activism experience to galvanize alliances with progressive groups and organizations in order to work in corroboration and perhaps the idea would eventually expand to all levels of our society.

We no longer can allow isolationism, as it has done over the last 50 years to deny us as Americans and Cubans who are in such close geographic proximity of having friendly and mutual relations with this Latin American nation, being just 90 miles away from Florida and not to have had normalized relations for over five decades was politically ludicrous. In addition, my daughter is a African dancer and my son is an African drummer and they too would also like use her involvement in the arts and studying African dance under the world renowned African dance chirographer Chuck Davis (He has been the face of African dance in Durham for over 40 years and is considered a master African dance instructor and professor Emeritus) and create cultural exchanges and talking points with such a culturally rich nation. They are interested in breakdown any visible political or invisible culture barriers by using the arts to neutralize political impediments and differences by evoking culture initiatives and would like to choreograph dances that speak to the universality of the arts.

It has become a sense of urgency for me, personally, because I would like to be engaged in my study and research before the capitalist and the big corporate conglomerates begin their possible remake of this island nation, which appeared to have stood still politically, economically, and socially for over fifty year (and in doing so, it has preserved the integrity of the people and culture). I know with the new political relations that now exist between Havana and the United States government, it’s going to inspire corporate interest and perhaps provide increasing international business interest in Cuba. This island nation that has somewhat lingered in obscurity for over a half of century, is now receiving a lot of attention from the United States and the western world; this is mainly because of the new diplomacy agreements that President Barack Obama and President Raul Castro have signed on to. I personally think it is a mistake for Cuba to go down this course with the United States Government and we can only hope and pray that this new diplomacy course does not turn out to be reactionary and lead to the betrayal of the revolutionary principles, which has come define this Island nation for over 55 years.

But they are not obligated to use the same strategies and tactics of previous comrades, but they do have an obligation and duty to review the past struggles; either to confirm those principles and tenets as being valid or determine them as being flawed. Only history will provide us with the proof that an organization or movement has met the standards of being classified as progressive and worked in the interests of the people’s revolution. And yet simultaneously, it also, allows us the ability to analyze them to determine if they were reactionary and contradictory and will have a counter-revolutionary affect on the present day struggle and must be dismissed. Perhaps some would argue that the time has come for the United States and Cuba to redefine history and in lieu of progressive foreign and international policy to abandon this policy that was rooted in old era of the Cold War in particular the international politics that were aligned to the former Soviet Union (or Warsaw Nations) and those nations who tied to the United States and the West via NATO.

This new international diplomatic legislation and foreign policy course between the United States and Cuba, has given proof positive and confidence in how important these present foreign policy initiatives were so long over due—this is evident in the renewed interest in Cuban tourism by the American people and people from around the world, is trying to get a firsthand look at this once isolated Socialist country. However, I would also like to inspire the Cuban youth to view their nation (preserved culture as their national treasure) and do everything in their power to protect it. But I know the digital and information age have created technological advantages and as this Socialist nation continues to evolve, it is just a matter of time that the tech giants will be in Cuba—and as they embrace the global society this will create a new Cuba. The coming of social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, etc., and Internet functions without borders and there is no doubt the informational superhighway will create a high level of excitement amongst the young Cuban population (for better or worse).

Yet, the preserved architecture heritage of Cuba should not be negated or overlooked and in my opinion, must remain a priority, because it is indeed a national treasure (that has international cultural and artistic implications) and they must be willing to continue to preserve the architecture beauty and the historical value it has relative to past structural designs and the colonial building styles in which some of the edifices go back to 16th and 17th century when the Spanish occupiers had colonized Cuba.

I would guess that as Cuba continues to open up; those builders and developers that specializes in creating exquisite resorts and five star hotels plans, perhaps are already on the drawing board along with other ideas to attract and enhance tourism, as well as seeking to economically exploit the projected business interest that a new Cuba will bring—the beach front properties and shorelines with sprawling hotels, restaurants and condos will be the new architecture designs and models. Surely, this type of business interest will increase revenue into Cuba ’s weak and struggling economy, but it will come with a hefty price whereas venture capitalist will put making money over Cuba ’s historical preservation and pristine value. I pray to God that I am able to experience Cuba as it is today and before the new development take place and conduct my study prior to the island becoming completely influenced by U.S. and Western culture. I do not want a tainted view of Cuba , but my interest is the old Cuba that still exists today as I write this blog.

Also, I have read Eric Williams book titled, "Capitalism and Slavery", and he delved into the economic impact the Transatlantic slave trade had on Cuba, in particular and Caribbean nations in general, I have read where Cuba in 1925 was ninety (90) percent black and African in which I am equally intrigued with the Afro-Cuban experience and the culture linkages between indigenous African culture and Africans who were displaced throughout the Diaspora. I still think that historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, paleontologist, sociologist and social scientist in general, still have a lot to learn about the Cuban society and its people. Also I would like to hear the Cuban youth views on race and racism, in particular knowing that the Cuban people have a large spectrum of colors and hues that makes up the nation of Cuba . There is no doubt, that the past miscegenation practices and/or rape of African women and indigenous women of that region by the Spaniards (ethnic and racial foot prints), which have left a light skinned mulatto Cuban and there are those Cubans who are very dark skinned and it is evident that they are closely akin to the former African slaves.

I would like to conduct an empirical investigational study on race and race relations in Cuba in order to determine does racism exist and does it have the same affect as American style racism. I believe the Cuban youth will speak with honesty and candor about issues of race. Now, going briefly back to the exiled and self proclaimed prisoner of war and revolutionist Assata Shakur; I would like to remain optimistic, that if the U.S and Cuba signs an extradition treaty, it would not include the Cubans turning over Assata Shakur and putting her in the grasp of the long arms of Homeland Security and the U.S. Patriot Act. I am of opinion, that her international legal status must have the proper international clarity as these two nations moves forward in normalizing relations.

The potential of removing Shakur’s protected exile status in which the Cuban Government has provided her with for over four decades would be unthinkable. Moreover, anything other than this position could jeopardize and compromise her international protection from the long arm of the United States Government. This would be a political travesty for the former U.S. prisoner of war by potentially allowing the U.S. government to take international legal custody of Shakur and further allowing her to becoming a political casualty of the new U.S. and Cuba foreign policy. This would be an act of political betrayal and would not represent the long term commitment and relations the nation of Cuba and Castro have had with revolutionaries and political prisoners from around the world. Thus, forty years later, she still would not get a fair trial under the United States jurisprudence system. Lastly, African Americans and all people of goodwill should be lobbying the United States Government and petitioning President Barack Obama to issue Assata Shakur a presidential pardon and commute her sentence.

HEALTH, DIET, NUTRITION AND WELLNESS: THINGS WE DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT

by Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El

Peace: family and friends, I am always searching and looking for topics and issues that relates and impact the African American community (I found no topic more fitting than to discuss Health, Nutrition, Diet and Wellness). Some of my immediate family members and even close friends have had some serious health challenges and I can remember being in the hospital with a very close relative of mine during a major heart surgery and my daughter told me that her mom, which is my wife had posted a photo of this family member on Facebook. She was being transparent about this close relative health a little more than I wanted her to be, but she thought that by posting this particular health situation on social media, it would inform those in the black community of need to become more health conscious. It was her way of keeping people updated with this personal matter, it was a honorable thing to do, because many in the black community had personal relations with this brother and friend. I got that but I have always felt health was something personal and I still struggle with aspects of being transparent even with my wife and my family in this area.

I would be remised, if I did not briefly mention the loss of one of the greatest natural healers in the world named Dr. Sebi who was assassinated in a Honduras, Central America jail. Dr. Sebi was a homeopathic specialist who was a master of herbal science and natural medicine, he was accused in the State of New York of practicing medicine without a license and was indicted in a federal court and his cased made all the way to the Supreme Court. The allegations were that he had falsely cured patients of AIDS and stage four cancer by using herbal and natural treatments and therapies, which went against occidental medicine. Dr. Sebi demonstrated proof that indeed he had cured black people from various diseases and he was one of the few natural healers who took on the American Medical Association and the conglomerate pharmaceutical companies (legal complaints against Dr. Sebi were initial filed by United States Department of Agriculture and the Center For Disease Control) and won standing on the medicinal principles of herbal and natural healing as being effective treatments. This past May 2016, Sebi who was 82 years of age and was reentering Honduras where he was a naturalized citizen (I do think Dr. Sebi had dual citizenship) and he had declared $27,000 USD, but he was arrested on charges of money laundering and placed in a depilated jail in a 'third world' country (poor food, poor living condition and plenty of prison corruption). Honduras officials had a previous charge on Dr. Sebi of so-called smuggling in $55,000 USD, which had been adjudicated, but they attempted to run these two cases concurrent. We do know this much Dr. Sebi the Natural Healer died in the custody of the Honduras Government of so-called complications from pneumonia (now, for the record Dr. Sebi was more than capable of dealing with a mucous virus). I think there was some foul play in Dr. Sebi's death the powers-that-be did not want people being cured and healed from cheaper natural therapies. We should call for President Barack Obama and the U.S. Justice Department and the State Department to open up an investigation into the Honduran Government and truly find out what happened to Dr. Sebi.

Now, before I delve into this topic on health, diet, nutrition and wellness let me say a few words to my African American brothers; brothers listen to your wives and get up and go get those annual physicals (we as black men must take better care of ourselves)--prostrate cancer (we should get regular PSA screenings) is killing us at a very high rate and, if you are over 50 years of age (black men hate to go to the doctor until we are almost dead) get a colonoscopy from a natural homeopathic doctor or specialist, because colon cancer is taking us out as well. To my beautiful Nubian Queens stay on us, because you need your husbands and your children need their fathers. If you do not know this by now many of us are walking a round having the silent killer high blood pressure (Hypertension), but you can cure yourselves with a vegan diet, exercising and making better life choices (brothers give up the smoking, alcohol, and the drugs lets start right there). Lets make commitment to changing our life styles, so that we can have life and life more abundantly. There is no room for big ego machoism and/or exercising male testosterone in this equation our health could be a matter of life and death.

I just wanted to thank those family members and friends who prayed for a family member of mine during the time of him being hospitalized and I still remain more than grateful for the outpouring of love. I am a very reflective type person, so I am constantly reflecting on every event that I am involved in, every person that I meet, every conversation that I have, every church sermon I hear, every movie I see, every text or phone call I receive and I keep a mental journal, because I am not that good in writing things down relative to recording my daily thoughts in a daily diary. My mother for years who lives in Northern New Jersey would call me every day and she would recite these long extended prayers and she would always ended with in the name of Jesus!!!!!!!!!. And trust me my momma can pray.

The medical team would come by each morning to make their daily rounds and they would say my family member, how are you doing today? and he would answer, Doc. I am prayed up. But during these hospital visitation I would make my rounds every day (LOL) and check on the other patients. There were a lot of sick people who were hospitalized and were suffering from heart disease, kidney disease, suffering from various types of cancers, lung disease, obesity, etc. Thus, I knew that we as black people were being plagued by these debilitating and killer diseases more than any other race. We meaning black people, we do not like to talk about the importance of good health and nutrition, but what we eat and consume is taking us to an early grave. Our mortality rate have negatively increased within last 30 years, which has negatively impacted our overall life expectancy rate.

This translate to mean that my generation will not out live our parents and another very sad statistics is that our children will not out live us. Brother and sisters, we are in trouble and in a time of crisis. Many traditional black communities are located in Food Deserts, which means that there are very few good wholesome food markets where our people can purchase wholesome affordable foods that are non-Genetically Modified Organism (GMO), thus food that has not been genetically altered and chemically produced and treated with dangerous-poisonous pesticides. These type produced foods are highly toxic, but they make their way into the market place (often shipped to the poorest communities that fits a certain demographic). I am here to tell you and inform my community, that what we eat have long term and short term implications on our health. You should eat nothing but organic fruits and vegetables, and ask whether or not these produce are GMO grown, if so run the other way. Do not eat any fish that has been tagged farm raise this fish is very dangerous for your health, because it is toxic. Look to purchase salmon that is labled wild Alaskan caught and wild caught sardienes ( certain fish is high in Omega 3 oils and have been known to prevent certain cancers).

Black women are dying at an alarming rate from breast cancer and black man are dying equally at an alarming rate of heart disease and prostrate cancer. We have become an obese society overweight, not only are we consuming to much food, but the wrong types foods. Many of us are still eating pork, beef, chicken in which our poultry and cattle have been injected with artificial hormones and poisonous enzymes to fatten them up for the markets. We have been eating posinious animal flesh and fail to see the connection to heart disesase, diabetes, and cancers (all of this is interrelated); you cannot depend on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and/or United States Department of Agriculature (USDA) to oversee and police the pharmaceutical and food industry thus this is ultimately about big money and capitalist interest and oftentimes the USDA is in cohorts with the big conglomerate food producers and growers. Your health in the United States plays out as a distance second to those who seek profit over insuring that the American people are getting high quality food.

I am tired of attending funerals of our people dying prematurely from these dreaded diseases, that have been created in the laboratory of the wickedly wise. Many of us have adopted this insane axiom that my whole family was raised off pork and my grandmother lived to be 100 years old eating pork but there are people in the Bible that lived to be 900 years old (so in comparison to the biblical truths your grandmamma lived a relatively short life). We are dying extremely to young. What are we eating fatty foods (that is high in calories and often low in nutritional value); here is a quick tip if you buy rice, sugar, flour, etc. if it is white in coloring it has been bleached and is automatically bad for you to eat; purchase organic brown staples and stay completely away from white anything--Organic Basmati whole grain rice, which is much better for you to eat.

I know some of us are shy about going to these Asian markets (please checking out the Indian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese grocers and Latinos markets--trust me start shopping with them, in particular go into their natural herbs and herbal product section (you will find an abundance of herbs medicinal spices--also African and Caribbean stores have good herbal sections as well) . They have food and medicinal herbs and products that have been used for healing for thousands of years--Royal Jelly and Tea Tree Oil, Golden Seal (what I call food medicines). When you see these international markets go in there and shop (some of them are better than health food stores and the pricing is much fairer than Whole Foods or Trader Joes).

The best remedy for common cold is ECHINACEA, Cinnamon root, Ginger, and organic lemon. If need something to keep you regulated there is a herbal remedy called CASCARA SAGRADA (take at night and position yourself by the bathroom in the morning) taking ex-lax and other drugs for constipation says that you are fully of sh... and you are poisoning your body. You should have at least three bowel movements per day these synthetic chemical drugs are negatively affecting our digestive tract and is the root cause of digestive system cancers (pancreatic cancers, colon cancer and rectum cancer). Now, what I really recommend in these cases are to eat more organic and non-GMO fruits and vegetables and get yourselves on a high fiber diet (unbleached whole wheat, beans, grains, raisins, dates, certain nuts and eat plenty of organic leafy vegetables that well create the roughage you need to properly help you digest your food and create better bowel movements (drink plenty of water).

I am your brother and I pleading with you to stop cooking and eating fried food today that grease only helps clog up our arteries and contributes to heart disease (you should use extra virgin olive oil because Hydrogenated oil contains trans fats and this is artery blocker and a killer). Your health is the most important thing in your life, it does not care about how much money you have without good health you have nothing. The Chinese taught us about ginger root (eleuthero ginger) every household should keep plenty of ginger (the healing principles are invaluable).

The United States has corrupted the balance of nature and disrupted the ecological system so much that the universe is starting to turn on man; the bees are becoming extinct and our crops are not being pollinated as they once were, because the use of pesticides have killed off the honey bees and now they have to import bees from other parts of the world and even have bee farms. Help me lord we are in trouble. The best honey is ORGANIC WILD COLLECTED RAW HONEY and another good sweetner is EGAGVE.

Brothers and Sisters find you a good Homeopathic practitioner who practice alternative medicine. The next thing is to invest in a good juicer and/or blender that you can start taking organic carrots, organic celery, organic apples and wheat grass in blend wholesome drinks and stop sugar drinks today and you will see immediately weight lost because often diseses all feed off sugar in your system. When my daughter was an infant, she would be whining and would be having a difficult time going to sleep there is a natural soothing tea called catnip tea (very natural and it works like a sedative). You should never give your babies formula or cow milk--the best milk for your babies is the breast milk that God has giving to you as mothers (no substitutes nursing your babies) the nipple suckling even helps heal the woman's womb after child's birth, if you eat a vegan and/or vegetarian diet your babies will never be sick with colds, colliclky, and high fevers. Stop feeding and giving your babies this poisonous formula and we do not know whats in those manufactured cans. It is a damn shame that in some counties and socities in Europe the woman is giving two years of maternity leave in order to tend to her needs and baby needs--this is a very humane gesture and in the United States our women get six to eight weeks this is not enough time for the woman to bond with her baby.

Aloe Vera plant it has many medicinal usages (you can drink certain type Alea Vera or used it as a healing cream and moisturizer a lot of good medical principles in this plant), Shea Butter if you have rashes and skin problems such as eczema it works miracles. But often it you are experiencing skin and rash disorders you probably have way to much acidic food intake and you definitely are not consuming enough distilled water (the best water is pure well water from the country or from some uncontaminated water mountainous stream). Our bodies is over 75 percent water; you must drink plenty of water.

Black children having Attention Defecit Disorder (ADD), Down Syndrome, Autism, etc. (these conditions are correlated to the food our children are eating, which often is fast food and cookware where we are preparing the food in aluminum cookware--throw them pots out today (the aluminum gets into your food and it is poisonous). What our children eat not only affects behavior but it impacts I.Q. and intelligence. I know this is going to take some aback, but you should never allow your children to be inoculated and vaccinated; some may say this is ridicules, if you think so just Google search the Tuskegee Experiment and start reading about the Tuskegee Expeiment in which the United States Government was behind thousands of black men be giving Syphillis and allowed to go back to the black community to contaminate their woman with venereal disease (STD). I called it genocide. Just recently from the highest levels of government in the State of Michigan that systematically allowed private and municipal entities to supply the people of Flint, Michigan with poisonous lead based water; our people were allowed to consume deadly carcinogen and contaminated drinking water so don't tell me what the government will not do.

Every kitchen should have some of the basic herbs such as rosemary, sage, garlic, cayenee pepper, organic onions and of the most powerful herbs that should be used in the kitchen is Turmeric (it has a lot of medicinal principles) and very next thing you should do is throw all your salt in the trash, I do not care if its Sea Salt or what ever type salt all salt is extremely bad for your health. But those that got to have that salt taste try Braggs (liquid Aminos All Purpose Seasoning). I am sorry to inform you brothers and sisters all meat products are dangerous (and in this day and time it is ill-advised to continue eating flesh and continue expecting good results in which this is contributing to our community dying of preventable illiness and diseases, because we have contracted heart disease, diabetes and cancer (most of these aliments can be preventable and controlled by proper diet and nutrion); moreover, we can end some of this today by just changing how we eat (also we should fast three days out of each month).

They load our communities up with fastfood restaurants (it only means fast death), Mc Donald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Cookout, Churches Chicken,Wendys, Dominos, Papa Johns, Zaxby's, Chick-fil-A, and you wonder why your children are getting their menstrual periods at seven and eight years old and are growing breast at seven, it is because of the hormone and enzyme injected food that you are giving them (we are sentencing our children to an early death) and many of them are obese. Mommas and daddys it is time to get back into the kitchen and start cooking and preparing your own foods. Thus, get your mouths out of the enemies kitchens and by not cooking anymore we are sentencing our family to a death sentence, we can beat cancer diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension, etc., and any other chronic diseases.

KAEPERNICK: RACE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE BLACK ATHLETE

By Fahim A. Knight-El

I know that many apologists and pundits have weighed in on the Colin Kaepernick’s rebellion in which I and other socially conscious and enlightened black leaders and activist have been engaged in this conversation for decades and centuries. Yet, I applaud this young black athlete for daring to risk his career as a professional football player in order to bring public attention to the high incidents of racially motivated killings of unarmed black men by white police officers. These killings of black men, have a long history in America since our sojourn begin in 1555—lynching and violence against black men, is American as apple pie and baseball. Kaepernick stated: "These aren’t new situations. This isn’t new ground. There are things that have gone on in this country for years and years and have never been addressed, and they need to be. There’s a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality. There’s people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. People are being given paid leave for killing people. That’s not right. That’s not right by anyone’s standards". The Treyvone Martin case in my opinion set a legal and social precedent that declared open season on black men.

Kaepernick goes on to state: “People of color have been targeted by police. So that’s a large part of it and they’re government officials. They are put in place by the government. So that’s something that this country has to change. There’s things we can do to hold them more accountable. Make those standards higher. You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years, but you can become a cop in six months and don’t have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist. That’s insane. Someone that’s holding a curling iron has more education and more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us". Most white Americans are a bit hypocritical and they easily forget that the American flag is a symbol of freedom to them and their ancestors due to European settlements in 1607, into the so-called ‘new world’ in which they stole North America (and the Americas) from the Native Americans who had lived in this part of the world for over 16,000 years prior to European settlements. They had migrated by crossing the Bering Strait from Asia—the United States flag symbolizes for white people sovereignty and nationhood, which declared them free from centuries of British colonial rule culminating with the American Revolutionary War in 1776.

However, the U.S. flag and national anthem, have a different meaning to white Americans than it does to black Americans; it is difficult for us to overlook the history of tyranny carried out by the racially inspired despots throughout the history of the United States of America; nevertheless, some of us desire to be politically correct in front of white folk, but behind closed doors many of us share Colin Kaepernick’s political dissention, because deep down inside our history of oppression and subjugation is rooted in our DNA and the murdering of innocent black people by white supremacist police officers is reprehensible and it touches our souls. Many of these white officers never get indicted and/or charged and some of them are even exonerated and/or remedied by Internal Affairs agencies via a so-called bureaucratic process and/or are found not guilty by jury trials (some have even been found civilly wrong but not criminally responsible). This is often viewed by the black community and the families of the victims as clear evidence that the judicial and criminal justice systems are rigged and black folk cannot receive justice. The deaths of Eric Gardner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Laquan McDonald, Tamir Rice, Walter Scott, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, etc. But there are countless other black men who are faceless that have been killed by white law enforcement and their cases have never made it to the national news.

The deaths of these black victims only serves as a reminder of the history of hatred, racism and injustice that both the Confederate flag and the American flag have historical had on people of African descent despite of our loyalty and commitment to consider ourselves American citizens (the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the United States Constitution don't mean a damn thing to some of us). This nation fought a 4/1/2 year bloody Civil War (1861-1865) the so-called South verse the North where slavery was the central theme of this conflict in which southern states desired to maintain the most profitable economic system ever recorded in American history known as chattel slavery (this evil system lasted for 310 years) where the south attempted to succeed from the Union.

Kaepernick decided that he had a moral obligation to bring attention to these racist motivated social issues by not standing up during the singing of the national anthem as a protest gesture against black injustices; he stated: "Yes. I’ll continue to sit. I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me, this is something that has to change. When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand". Thus, once again let me applaud this athlete for having the courage and audacity to use one of the biggest stages in American culture to bring attention to the social injustices that affects disproportionally African Americans, in particular cases involving police brutality. Kaepernick’s position was brave and if I could have had a personal word with him, I would told him, that I drew the same conclusion some years ago and refused to stand up for the saluting of the American flag and the singing of the national anthem.

Kaepernick understood the United States Constitution better than most of us and was exercising his right to freedom of expression, which was protected by law. His protest should have been immediately received as protected speech under the First Amendment Right to the U.S. Constitution and in my opinion every black athlete should have stood with him in solidarity, because they have a huge stage, which commands huge influence beyond just the world of sport and play. Yes, their collective stance and action would have created mutiny in the sports world, but it would have forced these professional sports conglomerates to view the black athlete different other than just being a Negro commodity. The National Football League is a huge corporation and possesses tremendous economic and political influence, but this well oiled machine has prospered from the gifts and talents of the black athlete (high priced modern slaves and gladiators). I am of the opinion that the NFL has a moral and social obligation to use its power and wealth to support individuals like Colin Kaepernick who sees the broader picture about social issues that affects our community.

Kaepernick's stance is reminding the NFL that the black athlete do not live in a glass house; here is a league that is probably over 65% black men, the issues that affects black men in the larger society cannot be ignored by a league who has built a powerful entertainment economic enterprise off the backs of the same black men who comes from these same communities and demographics and social-economic backgrounds as the victims who are being targeted by white law enforcement and their quick to discover that their newfound success (which often constitute a world of materialism) do not make them immune from being arrested while driving black (they might can change their zip codes, but they cannot change their skin color) and can easily become victims themselves of police brutality regardless of their wealth and celebrity status. The NFL could and should put more investment dollars in these urban black poor and disenfranchised communities as opposed to creating gentrification opportunities for big corporate real estate investors, which often devalue and steal poor and oppressed people's property to build arenas and playing fields and shopping centers that push poor people out and then revalue the property at astronomical tax values they are not helping to empower black communities. This is the real crime.

Kaepernick chose to use his high profile image to challenge racism and injustice relative to the above mentioned police brutality cases that have seen innocent black men killed by white law enforcement these injustices compelled him to act; he sought to kneel during the playing of the American national anthem, but his dissention was to challenge what was deemed by him as being a fundamental contradiction to the concept of American democracy, which was rooted in a double standard of American hypocrisy (Chattel Slavery and America's history of racism have created a longstanding social and political dichotomy relative to how some black Americans view patriotism and loyalty); the 310 years of dehumanization will always act like a ghost and haunt America in the area of race relations, which was one of the greatest crimes that have ever been committed against humanity. This history has never been rectified (it can only be resolved when reparation and justice is dispensed to the ex-slaves); moreover, some believe that Kaepernick's stance was the epitome of unpatriotic conduct, which stood as a shameful act for an American citizen to commit against the United States Government and their symbols of sovereignty. Kaepernick stated “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color.”

Those who criticized him refuses to look beyond their own biases that is driven by emotionalism he was clear about his position, he no longer could stand for the American flag until the injustices are halted and black and brown people are treated with fairness and is protected by the law (once again Kaepernick's stance was only a small reminder that the national anthem and the American flag means two distinct things to black America and white America). Lets not mistakenly expect this young black athlete to be viewed in the same breathe and light of Marcus Garvey, W.E.B Dubois, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Louis Farrakhan, Muhammad Ali, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, etc., These men dared to alter world history by challenging the status quo and the powers-that-be. Sometime it’s mere circumstances that propels us to stand up against injustice—I do not necessarily think that Kaepernick is a student of Black Nationalism and he is probably not a student of radical militant politics, but yet the mass mediums and many in white America would make all types of attempts and assumptions to associate his position with leftist and perhaps even with anarchist groups and ideologies and try to mis-categorize his quest for black social justice by relegating his activism with acts of treason and sedition. But black people still in 2016 who are so-called Americans cannot receive justice and are victims of a highly charged racist police departments throughout America this what is fueling Kaepernick's dissent.

Kaepernick stepped outside of what is expect from the black athlete, they are not paid to become political symbols and pursue political or social justice issues, in particular those issues that deals with race are taboo, and yet Kaepernick's position broke rank with his expectations as an athlete and in today’s era of market brands and being politically correct in which athletes are more concern with marketing themselves for the next contract and pursuing Madison Avenue endorsements rather than standing up for issues that might spark controversy and tarnish their brand (to do what Kaepernick is doing is unique and it is outside of selfishness and ‘me-ism’ that most entertainers and athletes have succumb to in 2016). Trust me Kaepernick will pay a heavy price for his social rebellion; he will be vilified and isolated and will be viewed by the National Football League corporation as a cancer, which must not be allowed to take root and spread amongst other players. The NFL Players Labor Union will not back Kaepernick because his action has the potential to disrupt labor and could cause huge profit losses to the NFL corporation. They desire to sit idly by and attempt to ignore the wealth disparities, the modus operandi of the Prison Industrial Complex, and the militarization of the police departments. Kaepernick's stance only says to us and the NFL, we have a problem and we cannot pretend these social issues do not exist and to ignore Kaepernick's broader argument will only acerbate the American divide.

The National Football League views Kaepernick's protest as perhaps a public relations nightmare because athletes are paid to perform and entertain and not to promote real social justice and although some black athletes such as Jim Brown, Curt Flood, Muhammad Ali , John Carlos and few others decided to be more than just an athlete; they took up the mantle of social justice. Tommy Smith and John Carlos at the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games these two courageous athletes stood on the podium that day upon receiving their gold and bronze medals respectively raised their black gloved fist in solidarity of the Black Power Movement. They decided on that big stage to let the world know that they were in agreement with the resistance and the revolutionary movement that was being spearheaded by the black vanguard of our struggle respectively known as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense in the 1960s. They refused to turn a blind eye to oppression and injustice. They were clear about the political stand they took. But former heavyweight boxing champion of the world George Foreman grab the American flag and ran around the stadium. His reactionary political stance was to show White America that he was a good loyal Negro and to also let the former slave master children know he was an 'American' and that he didn't support the Black Power movement. Frederick Douglass once stated in a speech "what to the slave is the 4th July".

Some of you may recall the former Louisiana State University (LSU) and Denver Nuggets National Basketball Association basketball player Mahmoud Abdul Rauf (aka Chris Jackson) who converted to the religion of Al-Islam and he too like Kaepernick in the mid 1990s took issue with pledging allegiance to the U.S. flag and standing for the singing of the national anthem. These symbols and notion of patriotism did not resonate with Rauf’s conversion to his new faith tradition of Al-Islam and although, his dissention was rooted more in a religious protest in which he had an affirmation to reconcile his belief in the Five Pillars of Islam in which caused him as a Muslim to question whether or not he could pay homage to the sovereignty of a nation that had stood for oppression and tyranny. Yet, I think both Kaepernick and Rauf shared a central theme, which was drawing the conclusion that America had a history of unresolved injustices and, perhaps after closely reading the words and interpreting the national anthem, it led them both see the hypocrisy and the social contradictions; it also, perhaps brought both of them to the question of race and justice in America. Thus, being black and living the black experience it was easy for them to see two Americas one black and one white. I remember Rauf standing in a Muslim prayers position while the national anthem was being played perhaps as a respectful denunciation.

He was vehemently criticized for showing his allegiance to Allah (God) and although, Rauf’s protest was rooted deeply in the injustices aimed at black Americans but his argument was more shrouded in the complexities of Islam relative to the American culture in the 1990s of course a lot has changed domestically and globally since Rauf made his protest perhaps over 20 years ago, but yet Kaepernick's protest serves as proof positive that a lot still remain the same in America two decades later. Kaepernick's motivation to challenge the status quo was tied directly to race and class and wealth disparity and injustice. The above mentioned high profile police brutality incidents sensitized him to speak out and condemn the innocent killings of black men by white law enforcement officers. Yes, he has been ridiculed by some and praised by others, which has led to some NFL football players not standing for the national anthem as well and even some college and high school players have joined onto Kaepernick's protest; if nothing else Kaepernick's protest has restarted a conversation relative to social justice. The question relative to free speech is, how do we act and receive speech in which we disagree, that is the litmus test to determining our so-called constitutional freedoms and our level of tolerance as a society?

Lastly, like many so-called African Americans this past summer, I watched the summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in Brazilin which my interest was to see and applaud the African American/African athletes and to celebrate their accomplishments. They all seem so proud to stand on the podium as so-called Americans in receiving their Gold, Silver and Bronze metals and seeing the American flag being risen and the United States National Anthem being sung must of have sent goose bumps down their spines. But I immediately had to gather myself in recognizing what these young black athletes had accomplished for America and yet simanteously think about the way black people are treated by United States Government and the U.S. police departments at home, it is this contradiction that immediately soured my taste to accept and recognize American patriotism being displayed as less than genuine. I looked at Brazil, which was colonized by the Portuguese and next to the United States, it was

Brazil

where the most African slaves were transported against their will during the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage.

The media mostly show you the light skinned mulatto Brazilians, but there are over 20 million black Brazilians who are descendants of ex-slaves that the media in Rio do not show you. So I will always salute our right to be treated as human beings and not just be celebrated during athletic events to add to America's medal count. I salute our right to attain complete freedom and be treated under the banner of freedom, justice and equality. Moreover, anyone of these African American, Afro-Caribbean and or African athletes, etc., could be killed in America by white racist police law enforcement. So as we raise the American flag, I think about Sandra Bland, Treyvone Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, etc., and the recent deaths of other Black men at the hands of racist American police officers. I think about the over 100 million African slaves who were kidnapped, raped, dehumanized and enslaved (they were so-called Americans and my tears are for them and my ancestors runs deep). Yes, Black Lives Matter beyond these damn Olympic Games; do not ask me to stand when the flag is being raised and put my hand over my heart when you are still killing us in the streets. One of my idols Muhammad Ali threw his gold medal (Ali won a gold medal in the 1960 Rome Games as a light-heavy weight boxer) in the river. Ali was a free black man and who debunked the shackles of a modern day slave. Treat black people as true Americans and not just during the Olympic Games. Black Lives Matter beyond adding gold metals to America’s count. Thank you Colin Kaepernick for rekindling this much needrd conversation that evolves around social justice, race, class and white privilege.

DONALD TRUMP: A FRONTMAN FOR THE INVISIBLE RULERS, IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL

By Fahim A. Knight-El

It still surprises me that many black people and people in general, throughout the United States of America still do not understand that the concept of democracy is an illusion. Let me go right into my topic and analyze the recent election of President-Elect Donald Trump, thus the first thing we must understand is that Trump did not win based on our vote nor did Hillary Clinton lose because of our vote; it has always appeared to me that the Electoral College votes on the surface had more credence in voting the president in than the popular vote (Hillary Clinton actually won the popular vote but lost the election). Both of them have been good operatives and servants of the Hidden Hand and Invisible Rulers no different than President Barack Obama and all prior U.S.presidents and heads of state who were appointed by them. There are mainly three powerful entities that are responsible for setting the global table and determining domestic and global affairs, which means selecting presidents and heads of states, as well as other low-level operatives to serve as frontmen and women and do their bidding. These hidden individuals control the entire world banking and financial systems, and dictate the rise and fall of all global economies—the wealth of the earth is control by this powerful elite minority secretly known as the Rulers of the World; all the reserve currency is at their dictates and discretion. China, Russia, United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, etc., and all other world nation’s functions at their will and pleasure. So we must first understand that our vote do not mean a damn thing, it is only an illusion that we live in a participatory democracy and this gives us false value, which is designed to dim our will to revolt and overturn these Hidden despots and tyrannical leaders.

Donald Trump's business and economic success (his so-called wealth) was a very clear indication that he has had long standing ties with those faceless and nameless Elitist who are consider the rulers of the world and they had, perhaps giving him instructions and marching orders along time ago and he has been a faithful operative before they made the decision to make him U.S. commander-in-chief. Like President Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, etc., these frontmen were selected for office and not elected. They ordinarily are mandated to take two oaths, one that is giving in front of a public audience in which the president-elect is swore-in to uphold the U.S. constitution and dutiful carry out their legal and lawful duties to defend and protect the constitution against all foreign and domestic enemies in which this solemn oath is traditionally giving on the Bible (which is considered along with square and compass as one of the Masonic working tools). Yet, each U.S. president is giving a black book which contains 250 years of U.S. Government Secrets this book contains numerical codes and sacred geometry that has been passed down by great ancient mystics and other wisdom imparted by some of the Founding Fathers such as George Washington, a Freemason and by those others who were initiated into the Order of Rosicrucians and they are sworn-in to never admit nor reveal some of the hidden codes to anyone and can be spoken of only in the presences of another past U.S. president or in the hidden chambers of the Invisible Rulers. These past and present Grand and Supreme Architects are members and leaders in some the most powerful secret societies on earth and maintain a global presences in every nation.

They are behind the wars in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq and it is they who are behind the internal religious and sectarian wars and disputes taking place in the Islamic world, in particular between factions of Shia and Sunni Islam that has engulfed the Middle East for over three decades. They consistently use the propaganda machines of mass media to ensure that these induced religious civil wars are viewed by the mass public as an extension of the so-called 'war on terror’; they are also behind the economic downfall of the economy of Greece and just recently with the United Kingdom deciding to exited the European Union—they had insulated this economic and political move by appearing to shift world currency in the Bank of England to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted economic transition—they wanted to further expand the Euro and at same time create an illusion that the British pound would have more value relative to inflation and spending power and then reintroduce the pound as a viable currency back on the world money market. They also were behind inducing the economic collapse of the United States economy in 2008, which led to rearranging Wall Street and restructuring how the global financial markets will interact in the New World Order schemes. They devalued the United States dollar and sent the world economy into a tailspin and in reality, it still has not recovered. Trump takes his orders directly from the Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations just as all of the prior U.S. presidents and his loyalty won him favor to sit in the Oval Office and he will carry out the hidden agenda.

Trump has been the beneficiary of the North American Free Trade Agreement and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); he used cheap oversees markets and labor in the Far East and Mexico that was caused by U.S. corporate downsizing and outsourcing to enhance his brand and has made billions of dollars off of Bill Clinton's International policies. Trump was giving a master plan during this presidential election; the master decision makers understood that there was a mood of dissatisfaction lurking over America that somewhat stemmed from President Barack Obama being elected in 2008 and 2012 as our commander-in-chief, but the root of the dissatisfaction revolved around race and they gave Trump the game plan to tap into America's most unresolved social dilemma, which was the question of race that has haunted America for over 250 years. Even President Barack Obama was in on these manipulations in which coming into office they had train him on how to play the game of high stakes and what the House of Cards truly meant. Here is an African (or at least of Negroid descent) being invited partially into the house by some of the most powerful men in the world and they ordered him to learn the rules and then gave him the mandate of hearing and obeying (make no mistake about U.S. presidents do not run the country they are figureheads and puppets who take their orders from the Hidden Hand). Thus, he too has been a very good servant and a low-level operative and they will continue to further reward him when his presidential term is over. Donald Trump is a peon and his wealth is very minuscule in comparison to the wealth and power of those who he works for.

Trump became the most recent recipient of a dark past; he used overt and covert language to trigger the fears of white America. Since the 9/11 hoax and the so-called war on terror which has led to Gestapo agencies such as the office of Homeland Security being established and various legislation and executive orders that were enacted to impede upon American citizens civil liberties; it also has led to the discrimination and religious intolerance aimed at Muslim Americans in which many Americans believed that Islam and Muslims are our number one enemies. Trump went on a vicious public attack against Muslims that was rooted in the old historical context of the Crusades of the 11th and 12th Century and like the Jesuits and the Knights Templars he as a white Knight drew his sword in the sand and unlike defending the Christians and Jews quest to settle in the Holy Land of Jerusalem—Trump was giving a mandate to move the global world closer to a One World Government and the New World Order.

President Richard Nixon in his book titled, "Seize the Moment: America's Challenge In A One-Superpower", Nixon authored this book in 1991, and he warned the West that if we did not do a better job understanding the various factions of international Islam relative to the schisms and cultures that if Islamic world ever united (the Europeans are more interested in searching out the coming of the Mahdi because they have to keep the Islamic world divided) and come together it could pose a legitimate political, economic and social nuisance to the west and the east, in particular with Russia and China aligning themselves with so-called radical Islamic factions in Iraq, Iran and Syria (and selling weapons and even militarizing some of America's enemies). Nixon further stated that Islam could pose itself to become our number one enemy and a threat to world peace (of course many of us saw this notion as mere propaganda). However, after the Cold War came to an abrupt end in 1989, the stage was set to create an illusionary enemy, which became Islam. Trump's attacks against Muslim and Islam was rooted in a deep seated Islamophobia and Trump was smart enough in 2016 to raise the conscious level about U.S. national security interest and once again with tough talk about ending Muslim and Arab immigration from entering the United States, it was steadily growing traction. Some would argue that Trump shared a more deeper concern with the electorate, which was, how do we contain domestic terrorism that is so-called caused by U.S. Enemy Combatants and some believe that the Obama's administration and the U.S. Justice Department have been to lax and ineffective, and trump promise to carry a big stick diplomacy in dealing with Muslims both at home and abroad? He also promised his constituents that he would be a law and order president and he reached out to reactionaries like Rudy Giuliani and Governor Chris Christie. He also received huge support from the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Second Amendment Right to the U.S. Constitution advocators; these gun toting patriots shared a theme in which NRA who has viewed certain forces within the Democratic Party who desired to limited American civil liberties by passing legislation to take their guns away and Trump was politically savvy enough to ensure this powerful and influential lobby that he was their candidate and would veto any legislation coming from the Congress that would infringe upon their right to bear arms.

If you notice when he was running during the primaries Trump was like an attack dog the other 19 or 20 Republican Candidates such as season political veterans Senator Ted Cruz, Governor John Kasich, Governor Jeb Bush, Senator Marco Rubio, etc., were longstanding traditional politicians, who were well financed and who thought they had the pulse and grasp of the political issues which they considered important and germane to the American citizens. Trump was a political novice who had no political experience of holding a public office; Trump's campaign and victory also served as a referendum of rejection of the traditional Republican Party's message and their views on conservatism and/or may be Trump just appeared as a breathe of fresh air because perhaps even the political right had grown tired of the political gridlock on Capitol Hill. Trump ran truly as an outsider (not really he has always been and insider) and most of the top Republicans such as Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senator Mitch McConnell did not back Trump, but he diverted their influence by taking his message directly to the people and his victory was a shock and an upstage of the tradition Republican Party so-called having endorsement power. Trump was unique in many ways, he did not take a lot money from special interest groups and lobbyist in which being a billionaire he financed his own campaign. This for better or worse allowed him to control his message and not be swayed by Washington insiders.

However, initially you could tell his understanding of U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East was rooted in ignorance and shallowness—his knowledge of world geography was poor; yet his campaign continued to garnish momentum and by using the code word slogan ‘Lets Make America Great again’ Trump totally understood these words were shrouded historically in the mythology context of race and privilege and they would have an emotional charge for a large segment of the American populist, which was rooted in the white backlash of electing an African American president twice. Trump totally understood those racist sentiments were out there and everywhere he spoke he drew large audiences of mainly white males whom felt that the traditional Republican Party had abandoned their core values. This slogan was being interpreted by the recent American society of angry white men to mean we have lost America to the blacks and Latino immigrants and whether we agree with Trump or not undocumented and illegal aliens, who have crossed the border, have socially and economically impacted the American taxpayers relative to them accessing American services, but simultaneously corporate America has been the equal beneficiaries of cheap immigrant labor coming out of Central and South America; they are the principle laborers in U.S. agribusiness . Trump tapped into white dissension, which allowed him to redraw the United States electoral map relative to what political scientist had deemed to be red states (who voted Republican) and blue states (who voted Democrat) was altered by Trump’s presidential victory in 2016 in favor of the Republican Party (and once the establishment Republicans look back they would owe the Trump movement a debt of gratitude because possibly in the political short term and long term the Republican Party will be the beneficiary of Trump's phenomenon 2016 presidential election.

Trump's appeal of recreating America and bringing jobs back to America resonated with a large portion of our American society, but many past blue collar working towns who had been economically decimated by the fall of American industrialism over 50 years ago where manufacturing and products were made in the United States created an economic vacuum and Trump appealed to a nostalgic aura that has been lost in time and never to return—he knew deep down inside he was selling them a false bill of goods. Trump did not tell them that once an economic system can no longer expand and produce it dies and another economic system rises. Let me the bearer of bad news Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan, etc., I do not care how many promises Trump makes the economy that many of your great-great grandparents carved out an existence, is gone forever in which to never return (Clinton and Bush sealed that deal). Just reason with me the capitalist is not concern about social justice and really are not concern with politics; they want to know how will public policy affect foreign trade, international banking, Wall Street and how will this impact the Gross Domestic Product equation for themselves. Americacan no longer compete with cheap raw materials and cheap labor overseas.

Trump will continue to be a good servant for the international bankers and will hasten the divide between the 'haves and Havenots' by working to further strengthen the central banking system by continuing to agitate wars with so-called radical Islam and inducing wars are a source of global revenue in which to feed the fat cats in Basil, Switzerland, London, Hong Kong, Paris, Moscow, New York, Tel Aviv, Beijing, Johannesburg, Tokyo, etc. the duping allows for the Hidden Hand to carry out these diabolic plans and maneuvers by keeping the masses distracted (with disinformation and propaganda) while they continue to rob the world of all its conceivable and unconceivable wealth and natural resources. Former President Bill Clinton was an international bankers go between fronting for the likes of Goldman Sachs and spearing heading global initiatives being led by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, which set themselves up to exploit more oil reserves on the African continent in anticipating Arab oil drying up and or political instability. Africa is still being raped of its wealth and natural resources since the Portuguese arrived on the coast of West Africa in the 1440s.

ISISL just reminds me of another Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) machination in which this so-called radical and militant Islamic group is in bed with the United States, Russia and Israel in which Bashar Hafez al-Assad of Syria is being used by various foreign entities—Hillary Clinton and Obama knew they had to remove Muammar Gadhafi, the long standing Libyan leader in order establish new foreign alignments and establish new geopolitical landscapes in all of the Maghreb region of North Africa. The Seven Oil Sisters have viewed Gadhafi’s Socialist Regime for over 40 years as a political and economic nuisance to their oil revenue stream, therefore, France, United States and Great Britainused their military intelligence and military capability to assassinate the Libyan leader.

Secretary of State Clinton were being paid handsome speaking honorariums by Goldman Sachs at $650,000 a clip and made it clear that she had a public agenda and a private agenda—the private agenda was perhaps a lot more dangerous and sinister than her public messages and political stances. I saw Hillary Clinton, as being a lot more dangerous and sinister than Donald Trump, but sense she is a Democratic candidate, she gets a free pass from so-called African Americans. But one does not become U.S. Secretary of State unless you know how to play the deceptive foreign policy game—trust me she knows a lot more about the Benghazihit than she was letting on. When she became U.S. Secretary of State, she used her international influence to assist her husband former President Bill Clinton by positioning him and exerting her State Department international influence to economically empower Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative foundation (so-called non-profit humanitarian organization). She used her high profile status as U.S. Secretary of State to broker diplomatic and economic deals for her husband's so-called non-profit Global Initiative in which would ensure international influence and funnel billions of dollars into the triangle of power arrangement between the global bankers, themselves and other members in the United States Government. The Hidden Hand liked the Clintons, because they have been good servants but Hillary Clinton was starting to get a little sloppy; they signed onto the Bill Clinton's Global Initiative front and provided him with unlimited resources to coral Africa and other Developing Nations, but Hillary and Bill who have for over 40 years used their gifts and talents as an asset to remain in good favor of the Un-Seen Hand however, their recent public image was starting to create a political liability and the Circle, with in a Circle decided to make Donald Trump their man.

Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative is a very powerful foundation and it was established to lobby nations that sought his international influence (Bill ‘Slick Willie’ was in the business of selling influence and is very good at it). Moreover, Bill Clinton has raked in millions of dollars advising Developing Nations by securing them high interest international loans via the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and further using his international influence to impact the political, economic and social systems of client nations. Also the Clinton-Bush Fund allegedly got 54 million dollars for the Haiti Relief Fund after the 2010 devastating earthquake that registered 7.0 magnitude on the Richter scale, which killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Bush and Clinton were two rogues who stole a lot money that was earmarked for the Haiti Government. (reference: Peter Schweizwer: Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich).

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have always enjoyed a high level of respectability amongst African Americans in which was almost equated to him having celebrity status within the black community (yet Blacks did not come out and vote for Hillary Clinton at the same statistical rate that they voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and Hispanics were divided in Florida on Trump). Although, I could never understand the infatuation blacks had towards President Clinton. He after all, along with Senator Newt Gengrich (R-Georgia) former Speaker of the House and the Republican reactionary Congress in the 1990s went on a vicious campaign against the poor of America. These vicious entities inevitable blamed and scapegoated the collapse of America on the poor (women and families) people who were receiving Aid For Dependent Children, which led to a rancorous political assault against Human Services and social programs that benefited the needy and the poor of America. President Clinton justified these governmental programs revisions in the name of siding with the Republicans to better manage so-called big government and the poor became expendable and vulnerable under the eight (8) year reign of the Clinton Administration.

These budget cuts trickledown to hurt poor blacks, poor Latinos and poor whites; this is the same President Bill Clinton that gave greater way to United States Prison Industrial Complex (via the 1994 Crime Bill) in which more black men became incarcerated under the Democrat Clinton than under the Republican President George Herbert Walker Bush. Thus, not only that, it was President Bill Clinton that established and signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that eventually led to American companies heading south of the border to exploit Developing Nations like Mexico in which devastated the domestic employment market inside the country and America has since turned our corporate lifeblood over to Wal-Mart and covertly deemed this as the new 21st Century industry of America. What a pity; does anyone else see these scams?

Thesis Statement: The American Civil War Possessed a Number of Political, Economic and Social Factors and Variables, that impacted the Causation of the Civil War, which has led to a Divergent of historical Opinions, Analysis and Interpretations being rendered by scholars.

Introduction

This research and analysis, will focus on some of the causes and affects of the American Civil War (1861-1865), which became the bloodiest and deadliest war within the history of United States of America (approximately 540,000 to over 625,000 people lost their lives in this battle)[1]and evaluate and assess some of the historical variables that were germane to those who fought on the side of the Union and Confederate armies, in particular looking at how intertwined Chattel Slavery had become as a major part of the economic fiber of early Southern American life. Historian Kenneth Stampp called it the ‘Peculiar Institution’, he wrote about, the history of slavery in

America

, and he left little doubt, that the institution of slavery played a major and premiere role in fueling the American Civil War. Slavery (buying and selling of human cargo—for labor) was the free labor force that had created huge sums of wealth for large and small aristocratic plantation owners and property owners (which transitioned into generational wealth).[2]President Abraham Lincoln’s action during this time period and his political stance of attacking slavery was equalvent to devaluing a commodity (slaves and slave labor were considered to be valuable assets). Charles A. Beard who was an economic determinist and authored the book titled, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States in 1913, maintained that the U.S. Constitution was essentially a document inspired to benefit and protect the economic interest of white male property and plantation owners.[3] Also, in order to understand, the complexity of the American Civil War, it was mandated that the writer, briefly review the history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, as well as concisely survey early American Colonial history but only as historical frameworks with no in depth analysis intended, neither as a central argument of my thesis and research.

It was cotton and other cash crops (rice, tobacco, rum, etc.), but cotton was considered the king of the cash crops, that allowed the South to become economically empowered, and the Elitist (planters class) had deep seated interest in keeping slave labor in tact (for them it was profit motive and capitalism incentive and slavery had become a way of life). Carl N. Degler in his book titled, Out of Our Past: The Forces that Shaped Modern Americanstated: “For two decades the southern people had been growing in the conviction that their culture, entwined about the institution of Negro slavery, made them a separate nation”. Jefferson Davis and other Confederate leaders knew and understood that the South could not easily relinquish their economic livelihood, and therefore, opposed the United States Government of essentially having no legal jurisdiction over the South and that the issue of slavery should be enforced and determined on the state governments levels without Union intervention.[4]
Historian Merrill Jenson, in his book titled, The New Nation, argued and stated: “The Civil War itself was the bloody climax of a social conflict in which the ultimate nature of the Constitution was argued again and again in seeking support for and arguments against antagonistic programs. But even the Civil War did not finally settle the constitutional issue. The stresses and strains that came with the rise of industrialism and finance capitalism produced demands for social and regulatory legislation. The passage of such legislation by the states involved the interpretation of the nature of the Constitution, for business interests regulated by statement governments denied their authority and appealed to the national courts. Those courts soondenied the power of regulation to state legislatures. The when regulatory laws were passed by the national government, the regulated interests evolved a ‘states right’ theory that limited the power of the central government, and the national courts once more agreed”.[5]

This argument would become one of the main impetuses for the Confederate states to attempt to secede in rebellion against the Unionby declaring sovereignty from the United States Government in which other scholars would correctly argue that the various Constitutional Conventions had resolved and defined states rights in 1787 with the founding fathers framing the United States Constitution. David Herbert Donald in his book titled, Why The North Won the Civil War?, layout some possible causations factors and variables, thus, he stated: “For the most part attention {scholarly historiography} has been directed to the question of the causes of the war: was it states rights, was it slavery, was it Yankee abolitionists, or Southern fire-eaters, or was it national neurosis. . . .”[6]
This writer, is of the opinion, that it was perhaps, a combination of all the above historical variables, because some of the historiography that this writer reviewed presented scholarly and empirical data defending the validity for all above said factors, but overwhelmingly historians and social scientist debated slavery as being the main and undeniable cause of the inciting the American Civil War. This writer finds validity and credibility in the slavery arguments put forth by historians Stampp, Beard, Jenson, and Degler as being the central theme of the Civil War. Yet, this writer thinks that the Confederates had a deep conviction to southern patriotism and pride in southern institutions and often these sentiments got overshadowed, because of the evilness and dehumanization affect slavery had on millions of human beings—this writer, thinks many in the Confederate South had internalized their racial politics as being rooted in a culture, which was believed by them to be as being American as baseball and apple pie.

I think, as much as I appreciated Donald’s interpretation about the validity of all the above stated causation factors, that he attributed to the Civil War, but in my opinion, what possibly led to the Confederate downfall was that the North had just to much man power and economic resources and tactically and strategically used the question of slavery as a social and political disruption in order have the Southern Confederates distracted on two fronts. I think Davis and Lee thought that sense they were of the South and controlled the cotton commodity economy that this alone would have enticed, perhaps the British and French to intervene on the side of Confederate against the Union; however, this did not happen and U.S. imposed naval blockades all along the Eastern Seaboard, which furthered crippled the war efforts of the Confederates.

Also, the rise of the abolitionist movement such as the Quakers of Pennsylvania, John Brown (1800-1859) and Fredrick Douglas (1818-1895) who brought attention to the question of slavery as a moral and ethical contradiction (August 10, 1863 - The president meets with abolitionist Frederick Douglass). Their activism was impacting the Union or the United States Government to be more politically and if necessary militarily proactive in ending Chattel Slavery and it was their pressure that led to the inevitable, which was the gradual dismantling the system of Chattel slavery. Also slave rebellions and slave insurrections were becoming heightened throughout the South. The U.S. Courts would play a huge role in defining slaves (free slaves, runaway slaves and free territory (Missouri Compromise in 1850 and the Dred Scott Decision in 1857).[7]

                                                         Brief Pre Civil War Background and the African Connection

The American Civil War (1861-1865) has to be viewed and interpreted from various historical events and proceedings, and must be placed in its proper historical context relative to the African slave labor correlation and dilemma, it would be remised to overlook how this came about. This writer, will briefly addressed the African slave trade in order to give a succinct understanding of how and why the black labor force became to be so important within the Confederate and Southern economy. With the advent of Chattel slavery, which predated the bloodiest war in American history by two hundred forty-two years (242) and it did not come to an end until 1865. Most historians have traced the beginning of the African Slave Trade to about the 1440s where the Portuguese ventured into West Africa and brought twenty Africans back to Lisbon,

Portugal

who served as indentured servants. This would eventually lead to the Spanish, Portuguese and the Catholic Church (Pope Alexander VI and Bishop Bartholomew Las Casas who played major religious roles by sanctioning slavery) and later other European powers ventured into African Slave Trade, which eventually initiated the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage.[8]

It was in1619 that the British brought 20 Africans slaves (or Indentured Servants) to Jamestown, Virginia, which led to the inception of Chattel Slavery being introduced in the so-called “New World” as it pertained to the British colonies.[9]The Spanish and the Portuguese had signed various agreements relative to dividing the world up between two European nations pursuant to the signing of the Papal Bull of Demarcation and the Treaty of Tordesillasin 1494 in which Spain would take most of lands in the New World with the exception of Brazil given to Portugal. This would eventually lead to ten to fifty million Africans being brought to the New Worldas slaves.[10]

Claud Anderson in his book titled, Black Labor, White Wealth stated: “Black slavery was, purely and simply, racial and economic exploitation, that caused economic revolutions and entrenched disparities between blacks and whites. Economically poor, non-industrialized nations of Europe, like Spain, Portugal, Germany, and England, commercialized human exploitation and suffering for the primary purpose of looting gold, silver and precious commodities in Africa and the New World. Old forms of mercantilism were converted to new capitalism. Banking, currency, and marketing reforms were created. Africabecame a warren for the commercial hunting of strong ebony bodies. Subsequently, skin color became a sign of degradation for its wearer and a sign of wealth for its owner”.[11]
European Settlers Enter the New World
The new European settlers who arrived in the 15^th century to the New Worldand landed on the eastern seaboard had many challenges relative to making adjustments to a new and unfamiliar geographical territory and landscape. They were concerned about survival as it pertained to their quest for food, clothing and shelter (in observance of the first law of survival, which is self-preservation, this became their main priority).[12]Some historians maintained that the Native Americans had arrived to North America some 16,000 years before the European Settlers arrival. The Europeans initially tried to enslave the Native Americans, but it was very difficult, because the Natives knew the land and territories, which gave them strategic and tactical advantages over the Europeans enslavers relative to exploiting escape routes.[13]

Also, they were not accustomed to working long unbearable hours under the hot sun and many Native Americans died from sickness and diseases from being in contact with the Europeans. Nevertheless, if it were not for the alliances and treaties that took place between the Native Americans and the European Settlers, which allowed for the early Settlers to survive; because of their keen knowledge of agriculture and agrarian society —planting, cropping and taught them how to grow food and which crops to plant based on the planting season, the gathering of food was essential to the early settlers survival. The Native Americans taught them about how important it was to rotate crops and if were not for these early alliances with the Native Americans such as the Creeks, Yamasees, Seminoles, etc., that attributed to the early settlers’ survival. [14]

Some historians maintain that the early settlers’ alliances with the Native Americans was pragmatic and beneficial to their ultimate survival in the ‘New Word’ and some even believe that the Lost Colony that was sent by Sir Walter Raleigh toRoanoke Island (now part of North Carolina) in 1587 who disappeared either died due to starvation and/or were massacred by warring Native American tribes. The geography of the eastern seaboard and the landscape were very dense with woods and forest (possessing hot summers and mild winters). However, the British had economic interest relative to seeking valuable natural resources (initially the fur trade was lucrative because of the abundance North American animal skins) and to further empowering the financial coffers of King James of England and Queen Elizabeth of England. The venturing into the so-called New World was motivated by the economic projections that there were possibility of gold and silver to be found and this was most the important variable to the Europeans explorers and colonists motivations throughout the Americas—fromVasco Núñez de Balboa,Ponce Da Leon, Amerigo Vespucci, Magellan, Desoto, etc., the European explorations were rooted in economic interest.[15]
The settlers were motivated to create a homestead and this would involve clearing off land in order to pursue agriculture and farming and develop these territories into livable homesteads. Slavery would play a huge role in the development of

America

from clearing off land, agriculture, to building railroads, etc. and creating infrastructure.
                                                                                                           The Advent of Chattel Slavery
Some historians argue that the first African slaves arrived to North America on a Slave Ship piloted my Sir John Hawkins of Lubeke in 1555 and it was this event, which led to chattel slavery, but most historians agree that the first slaves arrived to Jamestown, Virginia in 1619 (some argue that they were initially viewed as indentured servants). Nevertheless, the exploitation of black human labor made its way on the scene in North America. W.E.B Dubois in his book titled, The Suppression of the African Slave Trade 1638-1870, maintained that anywhere from 10-20 millions Africans where brought to America as slaves and millions died in Africa and crossing the Atlantic Ocean and on the plantations.[16]Slavery flourished throughout America, in particular in Southern agriculture states and in the white plantation owners mind they had one main and essential interest, which was maintaining slavery—the foundation of the Confederate Southern economy.

                                                                                                                           The Civil War
James McPherson in an article titled: “A Brief Overview of the American Civil War: A Defining Time In Our Nation’s History” stated: “The event that triggered war came at FortSumterin CharlestonBayon April 12, 1861. Claiming this United States Fort as their own, the Confederate army on that day opened fire on the federal garrison and forced it to lower the American flag in surrender. Lincolncalled out the militia to suppress this ‘insurrection’. Four more slave states seceded and joined the Confederacy. By the end of 1861 nearly a million armed men confronted each other along a line stretching 1200 miles from Virginiato Missouri. Several Battles had already taken place—near Manassas Junction in Virginia, in the mountains of western Virginia where Union victories’ paved the way for the new state of West Virginia, at Wilson’s Creek in Missouri, at Cape Hatteras in North Carolina, and Port Royal in South Carolina where the Union navy established a base for a blockade to shut off the Confederacy’s access to the outside world”.[17]

There were a number of key battles that was fought between1861-1865 pitting the Confederates and Union troops against each other, although, this research will not focused primarily on that aspect of the Civil War, nevertheless these conflicts cannot be entirely omitted. For example, First Battle of Bull Run in Virginia, between Washington, D.C., and Richmond(July 21, 1861);the Battle of Shiloh (April 1962); the Battle of Antietam (September 7, 1862), the Siege of Vicksburg (May 18 – July 4, 1863) etc. And there were many more Civil War battles fought between the Union troops and the Confederate troops. But this research was geared towards giving attention to, why did the United States Civil War break out in 1861?

So this writer believes that the Civil War (1861-1865) was inevitable and it was going to happen whether, it was Lincolnor some other social or political phenomenon (the quest for black freedom was starting to rise as a social antagonistic contradiction inside of

America

). However, Lincolnwas extremely intelligent, he knew that, if he so-called freed slaves in the South, this would serve, as a strategic and tactical political maneuver employed, as an objective of weakening the South (he knew and understood this was a serious point of contention). Although, the South in theory had already succeeded from the Union and Lincolnhad no jurisdiction and/or power or authority over the governance of the South—yet, both sides, the North and South used the black slave as a political football. President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1963 stated: “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of the State, the people whereof shall be in rebellion against the

United States

, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free”.[18]

Lincoln's motive was to cripple the South economically and simultaneously incite blacks to become disrupted, which would ultimately affect an agriculture based economy that functioned and prospered off slave labor. The aristocratic white property owners incited poor white Confederates by imparting a false sense of white pride, which was rooted in the ideology of white supremacy and that they had a mandate from God to ensure that Black slaves would forever remain their property who were considered unequal to whites according to the language written in the U.S. Constitution, blacks were considered 3/5 of a human being. The Confederates built a racist patriotic theme of why they were going to war—to so-called defend their sovereignty from Union infringement on the southern institution of slavery and this gave them the right to secede from the Union, which was based on their interpretation of states right.[19]

But beneath this argument and rationale, was their effort of maintaining slavery, which was rooted in racism and economics. The Confederates in the South felt that the Civil War was the only route left to challenging the federal government and their centralization of authority and control over Southern slave states, and the North simultaneously would use the Civil War to keep the

United States

from becoming potentially twenty independent and splintered nations. The North fought the war to rein the Southern states back into the Union and the question of slavery was a mere secondary causation factor (the first being preserving the Union) but would have primary implications on why both sides had a vested interest in the question of slavery.

Jefferson Davis and Robert Lee, the faces of the Confederate South had declared that the South would secede from the Unionbefore they would capitulate and give up slavery. The South viewed slavery strictly as an economic necessity (many revisionist scholars have always questioned the moral ineptness of this evil institution) and these wealthy white plantation owners were not willing to cripple their profitable economic enterprise by giving up their labor force without a fight. Some African Americans view Abraham Lincoln as a national hero, because he so-called freed the slaves on September 22, 1962 with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (but actually it would ultimately be the Thirteen Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865 that truly abolished slavery); however the slaves that Lincoln freed in the Confederate South, he had no jurisdiction over those slaves (this was the social and political dichotomy his decision rendered).

David Herbert Donald in his book titled, Why The North Won the Civil War stated: “was the political system of the South to blame, as so many historians persuasively argue? What was the germ of death planted in the Confederacy at birth? Was it possible to create a nation on the basis of states rights, to fight a war, which required centralization of authority, on the basis of particularism? Well, the

United States

has been created on the basis—at least so Southern thought (and so the Articles of Confederation asserted)—and had managed to win independence nonetheless. Was it perhaps slavery the cause not only of the war, but of Southern defeat? There is a seductive poetic appeal about such an explanation. Perhaps slavery was the Achilles’ heel of the South. Slavery prevented foreign recognition; slavery gave the North a new goal and a new ideal; slavery encouraged states rights; slavery in the end weakened the economy and military effort more that it strengthened them.’[20]
                                                                                                       The South loses the Civil War
The South lost the Civil War and most reasonable historians would agree that slavery was the central theme of the Civil War (1861-1865) conflict, because it was the economic driving force of the nation at that time and perhaps the most value commodity in the history of America; but one should not be mistaken, because both the North and the South benefited from slave labor. This writer recently read a piece authored by Donald W. Livingston titled, “Why the War Was Not About Slavery” Livingstonstated: “We think of slavery as an alien and "un-American" practice confined to the South in the 19th century. But an honest look at American history reveals a quite different picture. Slavery was woven into the economic, political, and cultural fabric of the Northern states from the beginning. The first African slaves were brought to New Englandin 1638 in exchange for enslaved Indians. Bostonbegan importing slaves from Africain 1644. For 164 years New Englanders sold slaves throughout the Western Hemisphere”.[21]

                                                  Civil War Historiography: Contradictory Historical Thoughts
Lastly, the historiography, was vast and contradictory on the history of the Civil War relative to the cause and effect and there were a wide range of diverse historical interpretations and opinions. Harry Steels Commager in his book titled, The Defeat of the Confederacy: A Documentary , he maintained that North had better resources monetarily and militarily (better armament, equipment and more human resources) and this gave the North a clear advantage over the South during Civil War and he also points out the South having ‘lost of nerve’.[22]Commager argument does stands to have some validity based other historians also pointed out similar contentions relative to the reasons for the North’s successful victory over the South and were equally critical in blaming some level of intellectual and military incompetency relative to the mindset of the Confederate leadership and poor military infrastructure (reference: scholars such as David Potter, Norman Graebner, T. Harry Williams and Harry Steels Commager, etc.).[23]

The North as this writer stated above had a distinct economicadvantage,because almost all of the nation’s factories were been located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states (industrialism was evident—machinery and mechanized armament). Students of military history such as T. Harry Williams, J.F. Fuller, B.H. Liddell Hart and Kenneth P. Williams agrees that the North had superior availability to assets and resources and this placed the Southern Confederate at a distinct disadvantage,[24]and also the African American Historian Charles H. Wesley in his book titledCollapse of the Confederacy, agrees with above historians, as well. The Unionalso had nearly twice the South’s populationand thus, a larger pool of young available men to pull from and to serve in the Union arm forces.However, the South defeated the Union1861 inSouth Carolinawhen they attacked FortSumter, thus the Confederacy defeating Union troops at the First Battle of Bull Run in spite of the stated factors—initially this win spoke volumes of the Confederate preparedness and readiness to fight.

Now, furthering, the question of slavery, historian Ulrich B. Phillips in his seminar work titled, Life and Labor in the Old South he wrote as a sympathizer and as an apologist of Southern Confederate slave states in which he interpreted, the institution of Chattel Slavery as being benevolent and good for the African slaves. Phillips’ scholarship was no doubt in defense of the white Elite planters class, he stated: “The bulk of the black personnel was notoriously primitive, uncouth, improvident and inconstant, merely because they were Negroes of the time and by their slave status they were relieved from the pressure of want and debarred from any full-force incentive of gain”.[25]

But it was this type of racist reactionary scholarship that gave way to the work of John Blassingame in a book titled, Slave Community who challenged this contention that the slaves were happy loyal and docile and were content with being a slave on the plantation in which he pointed to three distinct personalities that evolved from plantation life, but often in American slave literature, it is always the ‘Sambo’character that gets themost attention and the defiant slave personality that the slave plantation also created was often overlooked.[26]Phillips’ scholarship was an attempt to justify slavery and bring credibility and justification to white slave plantation owners and protect their economic interest and define their place in American history as a dubious and justifiable evil.

The Southern wealthy white property owners financed and used poor white Confederate soldiers as mere cannon fodder and would literally do almost anything to maintain and protect their economic interest—slavery had not only become a way of life in America, it was big business. The passing of 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution ended slavery and freed the slaves in 1865 and it was not the Emancipation Proclamation, as many have come to accept. I think one must come to the realization that slavery was wrong and evil; it was justified based on economics, theology and the American jurisprudence system (law and God). There was no other way to look at the ‘peculiar institution’ other than being morally wrong; moreover, it was this compromised labor force that propelled the

United States

and the South, in particular into the Civil War (the bloodiest battle in American history). It was extremely economically prosperous to the Elitist plantation and property owners or Bourgeoisie class, but worked to the detriment of the African slaves who were victims of systematic brutality due to their enslavement and cause massive social disruption to African societies. Slavery gave the

United States

as a nation a 300 year economic advantage and made them into a world superpower nation, but no retribution has ever been made to the ex-slaves (not even the forty-acres and mule that were promised).

BEYOND HIDDEN COLORS: THEY STOLE IT, WE MUST RETURN IT

By Fahim A. Knight-El

I have always written every article in line with what Dr. Neely Fuller refers to as the Nine areas of Human activity . 1). Economics 2). Education 3). Entertainment 4). Labor 5). Law 6). Politics 7). Religion 8). and Sex 9).--War/Counter-War: Dr. Neely Fuller work titled, The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept: A Compensatory Counter-Racist Codified Word Guide Compensatory Codes and his views on white Supremacy. I am advising that my reading audience try to find the online documentary "Hidden Colors" #4 and review it. Dr. Fuller, perhaps has giving us one of the best contemporary analysis of what continues to contribute to the motives and objectives of white supremacy ideology (acquisition of unlimited global power and dominance), moreover they have mastered the Nine (9) areas of human activity, which has rendered them global control over the minds of humanity, as well as led to the domination of the world’s resources and wealth. They have built the United States Government and politically structured it to insure that their power and control revolves around dictating the direction of Nine (9) Areas of human activity as it relates to the entire planet (ultimate motive to create and maintain systematic methods of oppression). Nine tenths of the planet are people of color/’melaninated’ and the Caucasian people is considered a minority, but through tricks and lies he keep the darker people relegated to minimum usage and confuses their understanding of the power and importance of being proactively engaged in all the Nine areas of Human activity (we first need some land and a nation that we can call our own).

Brother Tariq Nasheed in “Hidden Colors” put forth some very good historical perspectives on the affects the missionaries and the white Supremacy agenda had on us yesterday, which still impacts us to today psychologically and socially (reference: Joy Angela Degruy, Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing, but unless we understand the paradigm shift and the present day global initiatives which have moved beyond race and yet racial politics only serve as a drawing card to be used (in some cases for and against) to further the capitalist agenda towards the One Word Government agenda. The white race is a racial and genetic creation of the black man; he is a hybrid by-product of the seed of the black man and woman (Reference: Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman in America) and Yacub theory which was further explored in Paul Lawrence Guthrie book titled, Making of the Whiteman: History, Traditions, and the Teachings of Elijah Muhammad. Thus, putting it plainly, we made the white race (as the mothers and fathers of civilization) in which everything in him originally came from his African fathers and mothers of the planet; even his diabolical nature, which has played itself out from his inception on the planet for the last 6,000 years, thus, opposing God and reaping havoc on the earth. White Supremacy and Eurocentrism have set false historical standards in order to make European culture appear superior to Nubian people's culture and history. But Dr. Frances Welsing in the Isis Papers maintained that the white race greatest fear was genetic annihilation.

Yet, his nature was created that he would absolve the weaker germ (Gregor Mendel theory) and would be more prone to be opposite of the Original man. Although, he originated between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea in around the Caucasus Mountains (Elijah Muhammad—Message to the Blackman in America), Ivan Sertima: African Presence in Early Europe (Journal of African Civilizations, Nov. 1985, Vol. 7, No. 2,) and Michael Bradley's book titled, The Iceman Inheritance:Prehistoric Sources of Western Man's Racism, Sexism and Aggression all verifies his origin and existence. Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that the entire planet was called Eurasia (or Asia) and (occupied by original people) the Western scholars believe that millions of years ago these continental land masses were not separated by water and geographically was one continued connected land masses (Pangaea theory). Some argue that these lands, that have sat on plates over millions and/or may be billions and/or even trillions of years ago shifted or separated and this gave way to the platonic theory concept, but prior to this geo-phenomena the planet of land masses were typographically connected and unified. When the plates had shifted and the waters we know today had separated these massive land masses and created a different geological outcome and assisted in rearranging all life and human species as well. No, one better articulated this than the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

The history tells us that culturally Kemet and Kush fed the world (perhaps with the exception of China there was no civilization older). The Olmec Heads of Mexico and the replica miniature pyramids in Central America and the culture of the Mayas speaks to the transference of the Nubian culture making its way to the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean and was received by the Native people as being in the image and likeness of the Black Gods (they constructed images and statues as Deities to reflect the people they had come in contact with and the majesty they possessed). The author Horace Butler in his book titled, When Rocks Cry Out, gives us new historical spins on the pyramids and unlocked geographical secrets and codes and simultaneously dismantling some of our traditional views on historical people and events. I will perhaps deal with the historical significance of the book in another posting. The Solar Deities were best personified in Kemet (in particular the story of Ausr, Heru and Aset) which was personified in Mexico as Quetzalcoatl and although, the ancient people of the Americas had developed systems of measuring time and calendar—charting the sun, moon, and stars (they to were masters of astronomy) long before the establishment of the Gregorian and Lunar calendars. However, in my opinion, this phenomenon was not necessarily just indigenous to African people, because Native American Folklore tells us just the opposite (the interdependency factors and variables cannot be overlooked, but questions have always arise about how much of this influence was external and how much evolved as just pure internal enlightenment). I think the historical timeframes and the evidence and data would perhaps suggest that Kemetic culture might be recorded anywhere from 4000 B.C years to 10,000 B.C. (some even suggest this history goes back 20,000 B.C.).

Therefore, I think the transference of this knowledge was over the Atlantic Ocean as we know it today and the Nubians and those who occupied the Americas received it in this fashion, but the orientation was much simpler than we know, because the DNA and the collective consciousness of the two people were intact for the reason that essentially they were kith and kin and the same people. Moreover, the waters separated the people and cultures, but the inherited DNA and the telepathic memory linked the indigenous people of the Americas to their distant ancestors in Africa. VanSertima in his book titled, They Came Before Columbus: African Presences in Ancient America wrote about voyages and Africans who had sailed crossed the Atlantic Ocean long before Christopher Columbus and other European explorers had ventured into the so-called "New World". So there were cultural exchanges that had taking place in the Americas between these two indigenous people and there was a lot of historical evidence left behind to verify this reality.

So I found my place in Freemasonry as one who desired to raise the conscious level of black Masons by teaching them the knowledge of self and introducing them to this unconventional knowledge. The great Pyramids of Giza and the pyramids in general, should be declared eight and ninth wonders of the world (in my mind these sophisticated black people and their science should place them number one on the list based their high tech culture). Both Operative Masonry and Speculative Masonry had their roots and origins in Kemet (and I do not mean amongst some Mediterranean mulatto people who were light skinned with Caucasian features—these are imposters). The United Grand Lodge of England assembled in 1717, but George G.M. James in his book titled, Stolen Legacy gives us the Egyptian Mystery Systems (the greatest esoteric, occult and Gnostic schools of thought in the history of humanity)—these neophytes would run circles around the our Entered Apprentices, Fellow Crafts, and Master Masons in Europe and the United States and even around us after moving upward to the honorary 33rd degree, they taught and understood that true knowledge is found in the unbreakable circle of 360 degrees (the make up of all the points on the square and compass). The quest and search for knowledge is infinite (it has no beginning or ending).

I have always advocated to my brothers the importance of acquiring 360 degrees of knowledge; but there is still a lot of room for improvement inside of Masonry. I feel like we are continuing to make steps in the right direction and to whom much is giving, much is required and expected; are we willing to venture into accepting the teachings of the knowledge of self and embracing the fact that Nubian people of Kemet (ancient Egypt) taught the Greeks and Romans civilization (and be willing to fight white supremacy on all levels). I think if they knew that the white man's history only goes back six thousand (6,000) years and he is a newcomer on the planet, and was taught that it was black people who invented medicine, architecture, engineering, mathematics, religion, etc., this would present them with a different worldview about black people's contribution to world civilization and curtail the hailing of Greek culture as superior and supreme to African culture, which is a historical lie.

Our learning in Kemet exceeded 32 or 33 degrees (this is only partial knowledge that has been afforded to my white Masonic brothers) but this keeps them at a frozen state and on a dead level. There are many conscious and enlightened white men and women who have delved deeply into secret societies and they have the same spiritual capabilities of the black man and black woman, because they have refuse to accept how they were created and have chosen to embraced the universal principles of good. This alone allows them (some of the white higher Orders and Societies) to re-tap into the esoteric, Gnostic and occult wisdom from which they evolved from. There are a select few of white people who know us better than we know ourselves (meaning they know that we are God and if you catch them in the right environment they will submit to you).

I am here to tell you that inside the United States of Americathere is a lot going on politically and socially in this nation. We have to observe all these recent global events (including the election of Donald Trump--refer to my Blog and get a complete analysis on this low level operative) very carefully and be able to look beyond the Talking Heads and the propaganda and disinformation that are being spewed by the mass mediums. These phenomenons will only continue to hasten us quicker towards the New World Order and the One World Government agenda. Thus, this is why it is most imperative now that we have to be more diligent in our studies of the knowledge of self in order to be able to properly decipher world affairs. Europe and the Europeans are in trouble and the collapse of the white man’s world is inevitable (his 6,000 year rule is over). But we have to understand that to continue to embrace his Eurocentric value system will also mean our demise as well. He has even more devious plans to attempt to expand his global dominance over the indigenous people of the planet by using large scale deceptive ploys to exploit the resources of Africa and the globe.

Our ancestral linage have deep roots in royalty of ancient Kush (Ethiopia) and Nubian lands that extended far from Sudan to Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and engulfed all of the continent of so-called Africa and I am speaking of kingdoms that had predated the Biblical and Hebraic royal lineages of the likes of King David (the lineages of King Solomon, Nathan, Shammua and Shobab), and Queen Sheba (or Bathsheba) both the Jewish Talmud and Torah only gives us a glimpse into the kingdoms and the biblical and ancestral lineages; our history predates the Hebrew linage and I will dispute anyone relative to pointing out that the true Jews were of African descent (reference: Ben-Jochannan, We, the Black Jews: Witness to the ‘White Jewish Race’ Myth).Most of these ancient religious fables and stories which were rooted in the three major religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam represented the theological foundations of these faith traditions, but have their origins are in a much older theological text called the Book of Going Forth By Day (popular known as the Egyptian Book of the Dead). Dr, Yosef Ben A.A. Jochannan in his monumental book titled, The Black man of the Nile and His Family and in his book titled, African Origins of the Major "Western Religionstirelessly provided documentation and evidence that all religions are in debt to their African ancestors.

He exposes and traces all religions of having their origin in Africa amongst original people who even had written text that predated the Metu Neter (Hieroglyphics) and was transcribed as scrolls that was recorded before the introduction of papyrus—these Africans had a system of principles that were rooted in ethos and codes of morality (that predated the 42 Negative Confessions) correlated to them recognizing the balance of nature and in respect of the universal order of things. The question of right and wrong could only be answered by them having practices in observance of respect of all that existed in nature and built their humanity around the universal laws and they were wise enough to see God in both the material and nonmaterial world. They desired peace, harmony and tranquility (this was only the spirit of MAAT)—the Europeans who came later as conquers and imperialist have disrupted the entire global balance based on military aggression, greed and exploitation of other people’s land and territory.

This above historical substantiation is relevant to our rights to lands, treasures and heritage rights beyond our slave status as so-called American Negroes in North America in which the scholar Rudolph Windsor in his books provided us with some historical context relative to the culture greatness of these ancient kingdoms. They were not only the citadel of culture, but scholars came from around the world to be taught at Nubian universities of higher learning and they stood at the center of trade and commerce—they evolved around the Blue and White NileRivers. The Nile Valley Civilizations were much more extensive and complex than western scholars are willing to admit and those who do admit have always made attempts to whitewash Egyptand downplay the true ethno-racial identity of the dark skinned Africans called Egyptians by the Greeks). They even dominated all maritime activity coming off the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Indian Oceanlong before the Arabs, Asians and Caucasians ventured into these ports and military and commercial zones.

Cheikh Anta Diop has always informed us in his book titled, African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality, that there were direct cultural, historical and social exchanges that had taking place between Kemet ( Egypt) and what Eurocentric scholars called 'Black Africa'. This Kemetic cultural synthesis was seen in religious practices, architecture science, mythology, astronomy, folkway, etc., in which the culture resemblances in some of the 'Sub-Saharan' social systems were strikingly similar to those found in ancient Kush and Kemet and it is this notion alone that has left little doubt that the Nile Valley Civilizations played a prominent role relative to cultural infusion in 'Black Africa'.

The Kushite rulership was steeped in a royal African genetic line and was more majestic than the aristocratic bloodlines of the historical and present dynastic Royal Families of England and Europe, and had much more splendid nobility and mystique than the Royal Families of Islam and Muslim Elite, which encompassed the Saud clan and/or any other blood dynastic linage coming out of Saudi Arabia and/or the Middle East. But Windsorgave us some good historical background information relative to some of the AfricanKingdoms and their rich culture models that influenced and impacted the world—they allowed the world to benefit and even prosper from their cultural exchanges. The post-Medieval Europeans (those that were brought out of the hills and cavesides of Europe) and became learned based on their early relations with the Moors of North Africa who took a high tech civilization all the way to the borders of Southern France led Tarik Ibn Zaid. Dr. John Henrik Clarke maintained in his writings that it was the Blackmoors who in the 8th century that brought Europe out of the Dark Ages into an age of enlightenment and these people are un-doubtable in debt to our ancestors. I defer to his books from Babylon to Timbuktu and The Valley of the Dry Bones. The late Muammar Qaddafi the former president of Libya and was a true friend of so-called Africans on the continent and Africans in the Diaspora (the Libyan leader did not see himself as a Berber or Arab, he saw himself as an African). Thus, in his Green Book, he gave serious kudos to the black man being the original man, it is surprising that everyone else knows who we are, but we do not know who we are.

Now, we in theory have rights to stolen ancestral Nubian and Moorish lands, but unless we have a military and a military apparatus to retrieve our lands as our duly inheritance and yet, we are taught to respect and obey all the laws of the United States (so I do not teach nor advocate any illegal activity against the government that would be considered subversive pursuant to the laws of the United States of America, the country of my birth) to advocate such would be criminal and to advocate violence will only create mass suicide for my people. But to some this position may appear as an oxymoron, in particular after reading my long standing open rebellion against this system. We would have to eventually make our legal case in the United Nations, but rest to sure our claims will fall on deaf ears. However, there is a God in this equation when it comes to dispensing justice. Our sovereignty have been ordained (nevertheless sovereignty/land rights is not achieved by rules of law, it is only gained by a people having a willingness to fight and die—history tells us this) and failure to do this will only continue to consigned us to a romanticized notion of history and culture and will only be a people relegated to sacraments, rituals, rites, etc., and possess no real substances; the white man and our enemies continue rule over our historical territories as imposters and Robber Barons (they know our history better than us because they were responsible of stealing our birthrights). We do not need anymore ceremonies or recognitions that allow us to glorify in tradition, but we need some land that we can call our own.

DONALD TRUMP: RACE, INSIDE THE HOUSE OF CARDS

By Fahim A. Knight-El

President-elect Donald J. Trump immediately showed his deceptive ploy by rescinding and recanting on most of the promises he made to his voting constituents. He soften his rhetoric about building a wall around the American and Mexican boarders and controlling Mexican illegal immigrants from entereing the United States by employing arm militia groups; Trump knew that those whites who have felt disenfranchised (majority of them were angry white men, although they have always been the beneficiary of white privilege) and were angry at black and brown people whom they blamed for the economic dismantling and collapse of the United States financial markets and the U.S. manufacturing industries (and their job losses)—they were politically vulnerable and susceptible to Trump’s covert race baiting politics (reference: Wayne Allyn Root and Roger Stone; Angry White Male: How the Donald Trump Phenomenon is Changing America—and What We Can All Do to Save the Middle Class). Moreover, they believed that their jobs had been taking by illegal immigrants, but many of them did not understand that it was corporate downsizing and corporate outsourcing (that sent U.S. industry and jobs overseas) , which were the blame for the economic fall of America—they also did not understand that former President Bill Clinton initiated NAFTA and GATT and these reactionary public policies (and/or trade deals killed domestic American business interest and the legislation set in motion by acts of congress at the behest of international bankers and big business in conjunction with powerful political lobbies dealt a devastating blow to the United States economy in 2000 (these moves had started with President George Herbert Walker Bush in the late 1980s and in the early 1990s and Clinton took the dismantling to the next level with the passing of NAFTA). However, the rearranging of the U.S. economy was inevitable, because Industrialism as we know it had peaked 60 years ago and was on a steady decline in which Bill Clinton brought to an end.

Trump played the race card better than any presidential candidate in the last 100 years, perhaps even he did not know the level of discontent and dissatisfaction that existed throughout

America

amongst white voters. Many of them even decided to vote against their own political and economic interest, because deep down in their hearts believed they shared racial and ethno roots with the white billionaire Donald Trump and it was skin color which in their minds tied them together (Trump politically did nothing to alter this misnomer). Trump is a member of a low level Elitist group and as a member of the Petit Bourgeoisie class, he will never see himself as part of the poor working classLumpenproletariat and the white skin color alliances that many of the white electorate had created in their minds was an absolute illusion and did not apply in Trump’s world and reality—Trump was motivated by class interest and the acquisition of wealth is his primary modus of operandi, but having the white American experience he understood how to effectively use race when it was convenient in which to galvanize white voters (all white people in America know how to play this game).Trump was hitting all the white supremacy keys and cylinders and the evidence has already shown that he tricked them hook, line and sinker into a political movement. The enthusiasm and fervor resembled a Third Party political movement, but the only difference was how well financed his campaign was and it allowed him to function independent and outside of the traditional Republican Party political structure and power they have had to control Republican candidates and their message—Trump broke rank and went rogue. Trump made them believe that he shared their political, social and economic aspirations. He gave them a code word slogan ‘Lets Make America Great Again,” which to them meant they have for eight long years been politically subjugated under a Negro president in Barack Obama and they equally no longer desired to be under the dictates of another Democratic president be it black or white. Yet nor were they prepared to turn over the commander-in-chief and ruler of the so-called free world to a pants wearing white woman Hillary Clinton and Trump’s misogynist and sexist disposition did not affect his ability to even galvanize women to vote for him Matt Ferner, “Donald Trump Is Winning Because White America Is Dying” The Huffington Post The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-noam-chomsky-white mortality_us_56cf8618e4b0bf0dab31838f; article on the views of Noam Chomsky February 29, 2016.

Trump was a political novice who had no prior experience in political office and he beat the republican machine (having access to wealth and resources attributed to this feat), it will eventually be the political scientist and pundits, as well as historians responsibility in the future to properly assess what Trump pulled off; we are perhaps twenty to twenty-five years removed from fully evaluating the political data in which to even begin understanding the magnitude of what Trump accomplished. It is too soon to evaluate and assess the magnitude of his 2016 U.S.presidential election because even as I write this piece Mr. Trump has not served one day in the Oval office.

The Talking Heads since the 9/11 hoax via the propaganda machines have created a fear and phobia towards Islam and Muslims and Trump was smart enough to chime into their fears by over criticizing Muslims and Islam and speaking tough language against Muslim immigration and terrorism relegating his criticism to the usual Western style propaganda and disinformation. Mr. Trump in the past has had many audiences with so many of the Islamic royal families throughout the Islamic world and he is no stranger to being a recipient of big oil money (the House of Saud). He has long standing investments in Arab oil (and is a Rockefeller puppet after all he is their candidate he was not elected but was selected in which his loyalty is to the House of Rothschild) this is why he selected oil tycoonRex Tillerson (ExxonMobile) as his Secretary of State; this further tells us that having good diplomatic relationships with OPEC and oil producing nations was important to Trump and his empire.

Trump’s Hidden Hand handlers have since schooled him on what it means to be the top international diplomat and the president of the United States of America—the inflammatory campaign language was inciting and outside of the political style of the office of U.S. president (and they cautioned him on the importance of appearing to the outside world of being capable of leading the world and this is what led to his somewhat pivot). Trump also simultaneously immediately revealed his deception by filling the offices and seats in his high and low cabinet with all Washington insiders (some things will always remain the same). These are some of the same individuals that have given us a 20 trillion dollar national deficit and has led the United States into two major wars in Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003 (two wars that the United States are still directly and/or indirectly involved in and they have cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars—they also contributed to collapse of the United States economy in 2008 and allowed for Wall Street and the international bankers to go unchecked and unregulated (the devaluing of the U.S. currency and the global impact was systematically induced). Yet, if this crisis was induced its objective was to dismantle and realign their interest in global politics and controlling the world. Trump is a shrewd business venture capitalist and he will use the office of U.S. president (if you did not know the U.S. government is a corporation) as the most powerful CEO in the world under the title of United States president and solidify himself and his family as the new European monarch who sit in the west falsely creating the path for the establishment of the new Jerusalem in the West that will be rooted in a new dynastic bloodline equivalent to the old dynastic rulers of the world. Trump is about the accumulation of wealth and as a ruthless capitalist, he will use his new found power to go after and horde whatever wealth that has not been claimed by these vultures. Some seem to think that Trump and Vladimir Putin of Russia is a strange relationship, but these two white and Caucasian nationalist share global political views of further dominating the world in which Trump is about creating the next new business frontier and really is not concerned about the appearance of the conflict of interest. There is a very powerful small minority of Power Brokers who possess dynastic wealth and a long established Elitist and Aristocratic blood linage; For example, the Rothschilds, Morgans, DuPonts, Rockefellers, Oppenheimers, DeBeers, etc., have used their hording of the world's wealth and resources to dominate the world (they ultimately decides wars, famines, the money markets, etc., and use the likes of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to carry out these hidden agendas). The world's wealth is in the hands of the 1% and they systematically use international banking and the likes of the Federal Reserve to wreck havoc on humanity politically, economically and socially.

Now, may be some of my critics and pundits will start to believe what I have said about Donald Trump in a previous Blog (he was not serious about convening a grand jury which to indict Hillary Clinton and locking her up; he was only appealing to the radical right). I heard Senator Rand Paul recently say that Trump received 70% of the votes in Eastern Kentucky, but admitting I know very little about the demographic makeup of Kentucky, but I knew that Senator Dr. Paul was alluding to the racial makeup of his voting constituents and, perhaps this was a blue collar region of the country that had become economically depressed at the recent collapse of American industrialism. They are probably white, undereducated, poor, coal miners, and etc., thus, in their minds they shared a racial and ethnic commonality with the white billionaire Donald Trump and although systematic practices of American style racism has always giving poor and wealthy whites a sense of entitlement; however, unknowing to many of them that the type of privilege that the likes of Donald Trump is afforded will always remain just a figment of their imagination for these poor white Kentuckians. Yet, they believed so much in white skin, it caused them to vote against their own interest and the Maestro Donald Trump has played on the white dissatisfaction unlike any recent president since Ronald Reagan. I am not downplaying the dissatisfaction that exist inside of America because it is real and this 2016, presidential election serves as proof positive that the U.S. electorate desired to take a chance on a political novice who had no prior political experience because he tapped into political and social sentiments that were 250 years old, which was appealing to the historical unsettled question of race and white fear.

President-elect Trump's presidential run appeared to have been a brilliant planned out tactic and strategy and the social and political scientist will be assessing it for next 100 years and the significant of what he did cannot be fully appreciated until enough time has elapsed. Trump's campaign slogan of "Lets Make America great again' it also resonated with a large demographic of white people who lived outside of Eastern Kentucky in other states who voted for Donald Trump and this sentiment allowed Trump to redraw the electoral map, but for discussion I am using Eastern Kentucky as a mere political pilot assessment and a model for the racial theories that I have assessed as a backdrop to this article. Trump during his campaign continually gave racially charged speeches attacking Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, women, homosexuals and host of others—it was bigotry, discrimination, and racism at its best (yet for many it was this propaganda and duping which was serving as a reminder that hadn't much changed inside of America—racism was alive and well). But may be his overt and covert racist unorthodox appeals to both conservative and liberals were speaking volumes and his attacks on pluralism and the American melting pot outweighed the struggles for freedom and equality that was led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s on one end and Minister Malcolm X on the other end. Many believed that in 2008 with the election of President Barack Obama that we had entered into a so-called post racial era (how wrong were they this African American president had been the most disrespected and ridiculed president in American history not because of his politics, but because of his race).

Perhaps some whites were hearing a message from Trump of turning back the clock (to a time in American history where slavery, racism, Jim Crow and racism reigned high) and many whites believe that they have the right to take back America (whatever that means to them); I never knew they lost America. White Hate groups viewed Trump's victory as a victory of white power and neo-Nazi groups were celebrating his victory, but unlike them Trump is not interested in embracing the ideology of white separatist groups despite of his campaign messages and he definitely does not support initiating a race war and declaring certain American states and territories a white nation and supporting a white nation succession mandate and movement this is beneath this man’s agenda. Yet, many white separatist have hailed Trump as their shining White Knight. Trump is an equal opportunity exploiter and capitalist, he is not concerned about color and race, he sees markets, money and opportunities; and he knows that it will not be politically and economically beneficiary to embrace backwards thinking; although, he intentionally during the campaign fed the white power groups a heavy dose of racially seasoned red meat (the white separatist have misread Trump he is both an integrationist and separatist and a staunch patriot). But Trump will exploit them no different than he has done to the people in Mexico, China, India, Vietnam, Eastern Europe, etc., for him it’s about finding cheap markets and cheap labor to expand the Trump brand.

Now, as I stated above ‘many whites believe that they have the right to take back America (whatever that means to them); I never knew they lost America. This is the most asinine and etho-racist statement of white neo-manifest Destiny that could ever be made in 21st century and Charles Darwin perhaps would be applauding this present day mindset. The last time I checked North America and South America belonged to indigenous Native Americans from which the Europeans stole this land; this sacred land has been cursed because the thievery and genocidal acts committed against the Native Americans and the Native Americans have unloosed the Gods of Elements (fire, wind and water to remind the Robber Barons of their power to invoke ancient spirits some centuries later. The enemies are now in Cannonball, North Dakota where big oil is attempting create a five state oil pipeline with no respect of theStanding Rock Sioux tribe where sacred burial grounds have been bulldozed and the stealing of oil rich land that rightly belong to Native Americans who by U.S. Federal Law has been declaredsovereignty —and a nation within a nation. I am here to warn the white man in the

United States of America

that the injustice committed against our red skinned and black skinned Native American family who are of Muurs (Moorish) descent is being weighed in the balance and Justice will prevail.

The Native American people possessed spiritual kinship with ancient descendants of occult societies perhaps even outside of our recognized galaxy. I think there are many levels of reality, but we have been brainwashed to only focus on the "Here and Now" due to the influences of western propaganda and disinformation. The practices of evilness have brought an imbalance to the global axis in which now polarities positive and negative energy (forces) no longer are viewed as being necessary and complimentary (although science sees the poles as being oppositional) entities designed to create balance in the universe. The macrocosm universe is affecting and dictating the microcosm universe, which has always told us that we have the ability to realign ourselves with the good in the universe and to affect positive universal change. A segment of the Native American people of the Americas for the most part have met up with their transmigration souls and some those that have chosen to reincarnate themselves to come back as earthly vessels who had incomplete and unfinished work on this planet called earth. We can just look around us and we can feel that the universe appears to be imbalance (we might not be able to articulate it in words but we know deep down inside something is wrong) which ultimately has effected humanity's ability to create and sustain healthy relationships, our health and wellness is being effected, money and wealth have been redefined, our spiritual houses of worship is failing us .i.e., religion, etc., they have many ways to control us and create human robots and then set us up to becoming prime targets for indoctrination. Yet, there are people out there who know this and have committed themselves to change this paradigm and are functioning from a higher vibration and energy to help awaken people to the TRUE REALITY OF GOD.

Trump as an agent for the House of Rothschild and Carlyle Group has no real interest in building a wall to keep Mexican immigrants out (Trump need them as cheap labor to tend to his massive real estate properties and militarizing the United States boarders is not going to happen and forcing Mexico to foot the bill; is not going to happen nor having a polarizing and antagonistic relationship with Islam and the Muslim world—these issues were toxic based on racial and ethnic scapegoating and Trump understood that when all fails in America feed the ignorant a heavy dose of race baiting politics and this allowed him to move the sheeple to the voting polls. President-elect Donald Trump is about money and expanding his wealth base; I saw a recent news clip talking about a top international Muslim and Islamic ambassador booking a convention at Trump’s new extravagant hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC., the first international dignitaries of the Royal Family of Bahrain, which are Muslims and Islamic who ventured into Trump’s den as his official guest (these Arabs are filthy rich and Trump will be a good servant and oblige them in meeting all their material and food apatite and I am willing to bet you Trump sees gold and silver and mineral rights and has forgotten the mean spirited things he said about Muslims). Trump understand the economic complexities of the world much better than we give him credit for and that all the anti-Muslim campaign rhetoric is now out the window; he is going to be the consummate diplomat. The invitation read: “On the occasion of the forty fifth national day of the Kingdom of Bahrainand the seventeenth anniversary of his majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s accession to the throne,” the invitation begins, “Ambassador Abdulla Al Khalifa cordially invites you to a national day reception. This alone should tell you Trump is only playing Chess with the American people and the globe.

THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OF AMERICA: THE INEVITABLE OUTCOMES

By Fahim A. Knight-El

There are some economic forecasters and outside the box social scientists and economist who have crunched the economic data since the 2008, United States economic collapse and meltdown, and many have determined that the United States of America is on the verge of another huge economic depression; however, this time around there might not be any recovery and/or government safety nets from what they are predicting to occur in the very near future in which this part of equation is scary and my research tends to agree with these blight predictions. The American people will not be prepared for the fallout because their lives have been shrouded in a false sense of reality (insulated by propaganda and disinformation) and the American system is very good at creating illusions by bombarding the masses with false symbols of wealth and they start believing that they can take their cues from Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue and have become victims of the allusive money game. America is in trouble and its citizens do not have a clue of what the pending economic danger is all about—they have been blinded by financial reports being giving to them by the Bloomberg Reporters and the Wall Street Journal (private and government agent provocateurs spin doctors), which continues to lure the American public into more out of control consumerism and choking them to death with debt. They fail to realize that each time they swipe that microchip credit card, it serves as a key to their personal demise and America’s demise, because they are buying and purchasing beyond their ability to pay and it is this negligent behavior that is causing a slow death to the U.S. economy.

They have falsely convinced the American people that the employment market is expanding and prospering and they have used inflated statistics coming out of the Obama administration to downplay unemployment and to play up labor as though somehow more wealth is being generated and accumulated by the job market—this is a clear case of voodoo economics, which is designed to lure the American people to sleep. But in this narrative they have overlooked the systematic dismantling of the middle class who prior to 2008, believed in obtaining 401-K plans and money market investments and other low risk financial portfolios, however, they lost optimism after the government could not protect their hard earned wealth during and after the 2008 crisis; they were stripped of their financial incentives after the 2008 meltdown; playing the stock market became risky because of the market fluctuation and the global un-predictability and it’s even more risky in 2016. They also desired for us to believe that it is now safe to ignore the past recent housing bubble and that the housing and real estate markets have totally recovered (the banks have created lending power out of thin air because in reality there is nothing backing loan principles other than the people’s promise to service the interest that is keeping this illusion afloat). Municipal markets and bonds have begin to create a short lived level of enthusiasm and excitement, which have once again enticed American investors towards buying and acquiring property in an unstable market (this will eventual proved to be devastating) their are going to in the very near future meet housing foreclosures and seizing of personal and real property unlike any time in American history.

Moving right along, this is why the international bankers and other low level operatives induced 9/11 in order to create a quasi-police state in the name of U.S.national security and defending against so-called domestic and global terrorism. This was a mere hoax and in particular blaming so-called radical militant Islam as the culprits while the international bankers usurped more global authority over controlling humanity and our ignorance have allowed us to applaud this scapegoating. This has also allowed the U.S. Government to impose public polices, laws and executive orders to ensure that they have the domestic jurisprudence and the domestic militarization of law enforcement in place, which to combat any potential rebellion and resistance that might arise from the people. They have created a military style apparatus inside most of the American police departments that makes it easier to declare martial law pursuant to the laws of Homeland Security in particular the National Defense Authorization Act and the United States Patriot Act. In addition, this factored into stripping the American people of their civil liberties and in the grand scheme of things all of this is directly connected. Donald Trump as did President Barack Obama will continue to dance to the tunes of Goldman Sachs and the powerful international bankers that selected him to serve; this isn’t about democracy it is about expanding the Invisible Rulers wealth base (Trump know and understand all the rules to the game and will be a good sport).

The Federal Reserve continues to print worthless money and is flooding the national and global markets with large amounts of United States Dollars that have been systematically depreciated in value and there is nothing holding it up other than the United States Government hot air rhetoric; this dumping is being propped up based on the international bankers creating a super elastic credit based system that is partially being fueled by the Twelve major International Central Banks (and sanctioned by mother of all Central Banks, which is the bank of International Settlements in Basil, Switzerland). Here is the problem, that is leading to the economic Fall of America; they have the ability, but refuse to properly mange the national and the international debt ratio in conjunction with the nation's inability to balance the debt, which has allowed the strength of global currency to falter on the international markets (debt is not real wealth although it’s being transposed as money). The present day currency is secondary, which is designed not to exceed the elastic money—It will be debt that wreck the U.S. economy. The United States has a 19 trillion dollars national deficit that is mounting as I write this Blog and 42 billion dollar trade deficit—these numbers are a clear indication that someone is negatively driving the U.S. economy and world economy in which at some point they have the ability to call the debt in.

The Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen just as Paul Volker, Alan Greenspan Ben Bernanke, etc., understands the importance of manipulating interest rates and minimizing inflation (it stabilizes other nations fears and keep them engaged in the money market game), which only serves as a temporary fix and not a long term economic solution. This strategy also appeases the international bankers on Wall Street, but simultaneously has left the American people in its most vulnerable economic position since the 1929 Great Depression. The United States Dollar has lost its value as the world's reserve currency and it has been systematically devalued. Thus, China's currency and economic markets have much more substantiality and in the very near future will be unilaterally dictating most of the global economies. The United States Government is not preparing its people for the economic danger that lie ahead. This predicted and projected new economic crisis is inevitable and the money will be valueless unlike anytime in American history, but all this will be induced by international bankers in order to make the final political and global alignment. The progress of the New World Order and One World Government initiatives have been slowed by the U.S., Russiaand Western Europe trying to so-called contain militant radical Islam and combating terrorism. But let's be clear these Middle Eastern Wars are very profitable to weaponry manufacturing and military technology selling and the solicitation of government military contracts. The Afghanistan War (2001) and the Iraq War (2003) are still ongoing because this revenue is helping to service the debt. I do not know, if the Islamic State (ISIS) is a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) front and is being used to carry out their objective and/or are they truly independent forces that are fighting to protect their sovereignty and resources in lieu of neo-imperialism and the onslaughts being carried out by Western governments in which they are defending themselves in the name of Islam. I do not have the answer to this question, but I do know one thing, we cannot trust the government to answer this question for us.

This coming economic collapse will create social devastation and as I have stated above our paper money as our monetary currency will have no value and when it fall, it will create mayhem throughout America. Thus, not even gold and silver will be a viable medium of exchange during these crisis, because the international bankers momentarily will devalue all mineral rights and cause mass panic throughout the globe. The Euro and the British pound will be devalued at an all time low and will lead to the totally collapse of the European Union and the European Common Market better known today asEuropean Economic Community (EEC). The Bank of England and the U.S. Federal Reserve will have no power and/or option to determine these two nations and associated group of nations induced economic downfall because the Rothschilds and their global domination of the world's wealth and financial institutions will be pulling the purse strings. The international bankers are not completely satisfied with hording just 95% percent of the world's wealth in which this 1% percent powerful Elitist minority desire to captivate 100 percent of the global Wealth. Moreover, the objective and goal is to solidify the Haves and ‘Have nots’ paradigm (it will represent the final stage of enslaving the Sheepl). Yet, nations like China, Japan, and North Korea; even Russia and Moscow have been weaning themselves back from dependency on the United States economy, because Vladimir Putin already sees the setup and what is coming down the pipe and these nations have put systems in place that will short circuit and counter the economic affect that the induce global depression will have on these societies and there are other nations who are thinking outside the box as well. Nevertheless, China will lose the investments they have in the United States; they have been trying to liquidate their U.S. assets since the 9/11 bombing of the WorldTradeCenter and the default of these debts will be blamed on the predicted downturn economy. The United States know that they cannot repay China back relative to the massive amount of loans owed to the Chinese international financiers. China owns huge amounts of private and government real estate in particular in New York the money Capitol of the world.

Bill Bonner CEO of Agora, Inc., an international digital news agency. Let me first say Agora, Inc is more of a think tank than a pure news agency, but most think tanks need propaganda outlets to mold and shape public opinion. The forecasting of analyzing and evaluating the shifting of economic trends and predicting the political, economic and social affects on domestic and global society places Bonner in a unique position. He talked about having 35 years of experience making these predictions and according to him, he actually called a number of the world's economic depressions, recessions and economic collapses that have impacted recent American and global history. It is hard to disagree with his analysis and perspective based on his life body of work, but I am not naïve to the fact that the United States Government uses highly touted intellectuals to dupe the ignorant public (which is the masses regardless of class, race and color). I think Bonner gave us a lot of clues, he use to work as one of the top political lobbyist on Capitol Hill and was a graduate of Georgetown University law school and stated that the Central Intelligence Agency offered him a deal to work for them probably as a covert agent provocateur. We truly do not know, if he took this deal and whether not they are using him to create the next new economic frontier by propagandizing fear and panic and using him in the interest of expanding global capitalism in relations to the one World Government and New World Order Concepts.

Bonner attacked the U.S. Federal Reserve and understands they are printing more worthless money (U.S currency) than ever before, but in same breathe touting paper money as perhaps the most viable alternative monetary to have in our possession when the next economic collapse takes place. He predicted the fall of the Japanese economy years ago and has a clear understanding of the rise and fall of world's nations and their ties to wealth and the causes and effects of their declines and he understood the implications of 1989 ending of the Cold War and the global political, economic and social implications it had on how the new world would be shaped as the nations of the earth transitioned into a new era in world history. But to inject paper money, in particular U. S. currency (as a solution and savior) to say this coming from him is less than genuine. I wanted to believe that this says to me, that this man was too smart to overlook and not understand the U. S. historical monetary advent that had forever shaped the American monetary system in which took place in 1913 on Jekyl Island off the coast of Augusta and Savannah, Georgia in which a group of private bankers initiated a silent coup. They violated the Sixteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and the

U.S.

monetary system with the backing of the United Congress was allowed to become controlled by private international bankers.

Now, I know that Mr. Bonner knows the affect and the impact of U.S. government has experienced relative to its monetary policy in moving away from the gold standard in 1933 and bearing it has had on the present day national and global societies; he sought to gloss over this. But the U. S. dollar when it was stripped of having the backing of gold and silver, it became worthless currency as a medium of exchange and has been suffering for over eighty plus years now.

The Jewish international bankers historically and presently have always controlled the money game and they played a huge role in dismantling the global economy in 2008, they are perhaps the most powerful financers in the world and have used their influence to dictate world markets (whenever in doubt just follow the money chain). The Jews of Israel in Tel Aviv continues to dictate and play a major roll in all the world markets and not to inject them into the equation and conversations would cause for this Blog to lose credibility and yet I am very sensitive about not appearing as injecting anti-Semitism into my discussion because this is to valuable of a topic

Moving right alone Carroll Quigley in his book titled, Tragedy and Hope gave us some of these analysis years ago and Gary Allen and Larry Abraham’s book titled, None Dare Call it Conspiracy and John Coleman’s book titled, The Committee of 300 also laid out some of these master plans of deceptions and Ravi Batra book titled, the Great Depression of 1990and Alvin and Hedi Tofflers books have all provided us with valuable and credible insight. I am writing this not as an expert, but as a layperson. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the messenger of Allah, I think wrote the book The Fall of America in 1973, and much of this above giving information was revealed by him over forty years ago, but these white well educated intellectuals are seen as great visionaries and Muhammad was seen as an unlettered religious man who told us that he was God (by Master Fard Muhammad) sent who was commissioned to go after the so-called American Negro and used the Bible and Qur'an as his guide and his analysis was rooted in prophecy. Mr. Muhammad was not educated at Harvard University School of Business and did not have an MBA; he only had a third grade education, but was more business savvy than many of those who have attended American and European top Elite universities of higher learning. I am one of his students. He predicted that the U. S. Government was going to fall and told us to watch the automobile and steel industries as the sign. They dismissed the Messenger because he was not a lettered man. But everything he told us has come into fruition.

The present day Nation of Islam (I view as a representation of where and how black people fit into this new global equation and some of you might even say Brother Knight-El you were doing well until you started injecting the Black Muslim spin; remember my Think Tank and Blogs are designed to offer my people, black people a perspective on the pending danger and I will always remain unapologetic for taking this stance. The Nation of Islam has the capability to serve as the vanguard and become the new intellectuals that will be responsible for our people ultimate progress, thus, most black groups and organizations have been co-opted by the enemies of our rise and liberation. But I think all the Black Muslim splinter groups along with Minister Louis Farrakhan have to finance NOI think tanks and give us institutions (first working towards acquiring some land (five southern states) that we can call our own this is detailed in the Muslim Program giving to us by Mr. Muhammad in “What the Muslim Want” and What the Muslim Believe” we must have the intellectual capability to challenge ideals and build infrastructures and to promote self-sufficiency. We can compete with the Caucasian on all levels.

People like Alex Jones and David Icke have become millionaires representing alternative views (I am intentionally not using the term conspiracy theory). Lastly, what has happened is China has evolved as the number one world-super-power economically and technologically. China and the Jew now own most of the gold and silver reserves and all other precious metals and just five years ago there was talk that the

U.S.

government was on the verge of infusing a new currency and debunking the U.S. dollar. But for anyone to try to convince us to invest in the United States dollar (USD) right now is a duping and ludicrous; yet many whites will go along with this as a so-called good gesture towards instilling nationalism and patriotism. Mr. Bonner refers to those of us who refuses to house our money in banks as having "dead money" some of what he says was contradictory. He does know that the so-called war on militant and radical Islam is a deception and sham. I think we can still take a lot from the talking head Bonner and use his valuable research to prepare ourselves for what is coming down the pipe. He does have some good points on how we have become a debt based economy and the only thing that is propelling the U.S economy, is money that does not exist. So yes, the fall is inevitable but how are we so-called people of African descent is preparing for this? Donald Trump works for the Invisible Rulers and the Hidden Hand and he will continue to side with the global bankers and the “have nots” and haves will continue to be strikingly divided relative to the global wealth disparity.

THE TRUE MEANING OF HIRAM ABIFF AND THE VEILED SYMBOLISM

By Fahim A. Knight-El

Image result for picture of john henrik clarke

Let me start this article off with a physics axiom, which goes something like this: 'for every action requires an opposite and equal direct reaction'. I had authored an article on the subject of Hiram Abiff about ten years ago, but it is one of those Masonic topics that seem to always invoke curiosity amongst Freemasons and non-Masons alike, and therefore, with this writing, I have committed myself to dedicating another article to the greatest mythological and symbolic Grand Master ever recorded in Masonic history. There have been many treatise and books written on Hiram Abiff, but many of the prior scholarly explanations and analysis giving have always focused either on the esoteric, occult or Gnostic interpretations of Hiram Abiff—it still remains as one of the most misunderstood topics in the Freemasonic ideological worldview, which is the interpretation of Hiram Abiff and its the deeper relations and Masonic connections to a long lost people that is missing. So, I have always offered an interpretation that upstaged the Eurocentric and Western scholars’ perspective on Hiram Abiff by personifying him and demystifying this Nubian grand master as being directly tied to the history and legacy of the black man and woman of America; my citations and scholarly authority begins with the advent of Chattel Slavery and the dehumanization of African people—surely the motives and objectives of Hiram Abiff experiences bears close similarities to the so-called American Negro experience. This interpretation has always been met with resistance from white supremacy Masons and from Negro Masons as well who lacks the knowledge of self. No, other people historically fit the depiction and legacy of the symbolic Hiram Abiff Masonic character than the so-called American Negro ex-slave who arrived to North America in 1555. I was blessed and invested with “Supreme Wisdom” and this has always giving me a clear intellectual advantage over most Negro Masons and Caucasian Masons, thus, I am not making an arrogant statement, but many of my pundits have not met Messenger Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, Prophet Noble Drew Ali, Dr. Malachi York, Marcus Garvey, Father Allah (Clarence13X), etc.

What is Masonry? Masonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols and to understand Masonry, one must become a serious student of symbolism and allegory (in particular having a keen knowledge base of the sciences of etymology and epistemology). Albert Churchward who authored the book titled, Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man and Manly P. Hall (the scholar Hall was a 33rd degree Masons and had written a number of books on the origin of Freemasonry) who authored the book titled, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, Gerald Massey who authored book titled, Ancient Egypt the Light of the World and The Book of Beginnings and Godfrey Higgins book titled, Anacalypsis, etc., all of these are pieces to the Masonic puzzle. The above mentioned scholars are white scholars who have bear witness to the ancient knowledge being originated out of Kemet and the world owes a debt of gratitude to the original African man and African woman who stood as the fathers and mothers of civilization. They objectively and with an unbiased fervor traced the origin of science, language, supreme deities, religion, architecture, folklore, medicine, mathematics, engineering, etc., to Kemet or Ancient Egypt and this is why Freemasonry as a system of academics and learning is heavily rooted in the Seven Schools of Liberal Arts and five schools of architecture styles (these systems of learning predated the Romans and the Greeks—Plato, Aristotle and Socrates borrowed their philosophical ideals from the Nubians of ancient Kemet (Egypt), which teaches us that Hiram Abiff is an old protype that was first seen and observed in the teachings of Asur, Heru and Aset—the radiant sun and resurrection of the dead.

He was a learned man and was commissioned and entrusted by King Solomon to construct a Temple that would have majesty and valor of the great architecture styles seen in Egypt and make Jerusalem and this Temple special in design and reverence, because this edifice would be seen and embraced by the major three world religions being Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Jerusalem is considered the third holiest city in Islam behind Mecca and Medina). If Muslims cannot make Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca or Medina than according to many of the Hadith writers, Jerusalem is considered acceptable in the eyesight of Allah (God); perhaps I need to be teaching this to my brothers of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (the Potentates, Chief Rabbans, High Priest and Prophets, Oriental Guides, etc.). The Shriners, Masons, Muslims and the Islamic world do not have a clue about what it's truly meant to touch and kiss the black stone, which was placed in the Kaaba (the great Mosque) by Abraham and his son Ishmael according to the Holy Qu'ran Sharrieff. And those of us who have acquired the knowledge of self have the duty and responsibility to teach the world and rescue our history from these Arab imposters who have ethno-racial lineages to the Semites and are not the original inhabitants of Saudi Arabia (which was separated by the man made Suez Canal from Africa and the white man renamed this territory the 'Middle East" but in my study of true geography there is no such place called the Middle East, it is only a part of North East Africa).

Dr. Wesley Muhammad is a Nation of Islam minister and scholar (under Minister Louis Farrakhan) and a former Five Percenter (and/or member of the Nation of Gods and Earths) who use to go by the name of Brother True Islam. I purchased his book a few years ago titled, Black Arabia and the African Origin of Islam and he covers some of the Asiatic, Hijaz (ancient Saudi Arabia) history and the ethno racial lineages of those original dark skinned tribes who were connected to the Maghreb region of North Africa in which I have found Brother Muhammad's research and work valuable and relevant. He also authored another good book titled, The Book of God: An Encyclopedia of Proof that the Black Man is God that also possesses a lot of good ancient Nubian history. Dr. Yosef A.A. Ben Jochannan first published the Book titled, Black man of the Nile and His Family in around 1973. Here is the first point of clarity; the Arabs did not arrive nor invade Kemet (ancient Egypt) until the 8th Century A.D. which means the greatness of Kemet and the Egyptian Mystery Systems were not destroyed by the Arabs, because they did not arrive into Kemet until A.D. within the modern era. But Egypt had been under assault by the Semites (Jews in particular) Phoenicians, Romans, Assyrians, Greeks, etc., (long before Arab colonist and enslavers arrived). Yet, that is not to suggest that upon the Arabs arrival that they did not desecrate the sacred temples and claim the history of Kemet as their own and simultaneously and erroneously claimed kinship to the original Nubians who occupied Kemet and all of North Africa.

The Greeks had occupied Egypt (Kemet) thousands of years before the Arabs. These so-called Arabs were a mix and miscegenated people, but the original inhabitants of Egypt were dark skinned, broad nosed and kinky hair "Negroids", but through race mixing the Arabs (Indo-Europeans) in which Saudi Arabia over periods of time became more mulatto in skin color and due to European imperialism the once geographically connected Arabia, which was part and parcel of the original continent of Africa (what Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan called Akebuland) was separated and was geographically reclassified as being part of the so-called Middle East. They were not Asiatics in the truest sense of ethnic-race classification, but Elijah Muhammad and Noble Drew Ali both called us the Asiatic black man. The Arabs did not destroy the Egyptian mystery system, yet they co-opted our history and culture by stealing our birthrights in which Dr. Chancellor Williams in his book titled, The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D does a thorough analysis of recording how the dark skinned Nubians were pushed out of Lower Egypt southward and light skinned imposters settled and begin to occupy Kemet and white European scholars have systematically whiten Egypt in order to claim this great civilization as their own; most of this was done prior to the Arabs arrival in the late 600s-700s A.D. Their main objective was to impose Islam (missionaries) on the indigenous people of that region and exploit the commercial interest they had in these black lands, which were rich in natural resources.

We will one day soon be like the first Muezzin (caller to prayer and have the responsibility of bringing all of humanity back to the path of God known as the Great Architect of the Universe). Bilal Ibn Rabah who was a dark skinned Ethiopian slave who converted to Islam and became one of Prophet Muhammad's closes companions and he had this melodious voice and Muhammad gave him the duty to call the faithful to prayer (the black man of

America

is that symbolic one), the Prophet was even recorded as saying that he saw Bilal footsteps entering heaven before his very own. Some of the enlightened world knows that Freemasonry will continue to play a huge role in world affairs, because it is so intertwined in the social, political and economic affairs of humanity. The New Age movements and those who search out ancients texts and who like the Sufis (the highest form of mystic Islam) and Hindus and Jews who became more inspired by the teachings of the Kabbalah and see the value and credibility in mystical teachings in Freemasonry as one of those schools of thought that will continue to lead one to various paths of understanding relative to spirituality—outside of religion and faith traditions. The enlightenment is forever evolving and new interpretations of Masonic Speculative knowledge will continue to be needed in order to build upon some of the unfinished Masonic work that became disrupted and stagnated when the horrid crime took place at the building of King Solomon's Temple and it was to teach us deeper moral lessons about human behavior and how brotherhood has to be strengthen by a cabletow that was stronger than any physical string or rope, but it must be rooted in the best of human character and strengthen by unconditional love (you are your brothers keepers).

When we see a Ruffian spirit begin to rise in our personal lives, Masonic Houses, we should not allow any deviations from practicing the true landmarks of Freemasonry and never allow the type of spirit of betrayal to take root, it will negatively impact our Masonic organizational structure and it was betrayal that led to the premature death of our Grand Master Hiram Abiff (now, in the Biblical book of Kings the Hiram from the land of Tyree) and the Masonic Hiram Abiff are not the same individuals. And our story is mere allegory, which is pointing us towards mastering all the principles giving to us in our understanding of the foundation of Freemasonry that comes from living by the principles of Morality, Friendship and Brotherly Love. Building that true temple that Yeshuaa Ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph) talked about which was building a temple, that wasn't an external and/or physical temple, but building the temple having spiritual value and not material value this alone should force us to always seek the higher elevation of using our knowledge to create a new paradigm (the greatest temple is constructed from within, the human spirit and soul which leads us to true immortality). I will always challenge my Masonic brothers to be better students of the knowledge and work to move beyond just being engulfed in the social—I refuse to have allowed myself to being raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the square and then allow myself to be deposited back into the grave of ignorance (or darkness and voluntarily put on the blindfold) once you were raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular, it took you out of the coffin and stood you up 90 degrees upright to a living perpendicular (no more blindfold, awakened to enlightenment—this symbolically represented a new birth and a resurrection from the dead).

My brothers, we must allow our personal path and journey to always lead us to having and open mind and use our acquisition of this great mythical and mystic knowledge to better humanity and ourselves (you received a substitute word because we were taught at the death of Grand Master Hiram Abiff the true master word was forever lost, but it is our present day duty to search out the lost word by being good students of Masonry). There lie the value of character and ethics, this is the ultimate fiber that will strengthen and hold Masonry together along with knowing how to apply the working tools and implement the square and compass to enlighten the world with truth and direction beyond our commitment to our York Rite and Scottish Rite houses. The working tools should serve as a moral compass to give humanity direction, it becomes useless to have all this wisdom and knowledge that have been passed down through the ages by ancient master teachers, gurus and sages and we allow our obligation of never to reveal and always conceal the teachings and secrets of Masonry to deny us the right and privilege to help awaken those that sleep (I too will not violate my oath but what manner of man would hide his light under a bushel basket).

The symbolic story of Hiram Abiff, is one of the world's best kept secrets in the world of white supremacy ideals, they only give us the symbolic teachings of the greatest grand master ever recorded in the ritualistic teachings of Blue Lodge Masonry, but the true interpretation of the Hiram Abiff story was never revealed to the black man (there are Caucasian Masons of even much higher degrees than 33rd who bow down in private to the origin of the black man being God and they worship you in secrecy) because this Masonic folklore gives way to a people who were hit in the head at the East Gate (Africa) and were forcibly brought on a westerly course and was ultimately murdered and buried in shallow grave in which three of the major perpetrators were England, France and America that posed as principal perpetrators. It was their imperialism, colonialism and Chattel Slavery via the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Middle Passage that led to the final blow to murdering the real Hiram Abiff, the so-called black man of Africa and North America(this blow caused us to lose our land, names, God, culture, Folkways and Mores).

The above mentioned three European white nations (have hid and buried some of our ancient knowledge, identity and wisdom in secret vaults (and in international libraries and museums) in white Grand Lodges in Europe, America, Canada, Australia, etc., have committed themselves to never allowing the true Hiram Abiff story to be revealed and some of it is even hidden in Israel, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Turkey. These four Muslim and Islamic nations have had a long history of involvement in Freemasonry in spit of its so-called Middle East adherents of having to survive in nations that have historically viewed Freemasonry as heretic; both Sunni and Shia Islamic nations have outlawed Freemasonry as being anti-Islamic and those caught practicing Freemasonry in some of these Muslim societies would become subjects of Sharia law and killed.

I have now had the privy (by invitation) to sit in various Masonic meetings of international implications and have discussed Masonry with some of the best Masonic intellectuals and Masonic scholars in the world within these research societies and they know our history better than we know our own history. I have challenged their often white supremacy worldview and shared with them an Africancentered view of the ancient craft of Freemasonry; I have always done this unapologetically. The three Masonic Ruffians who conspired against the Master Builder Hiram Abiff had motives and objectives of stealing the masterful architecture plans—blueprints and drawings that were inspired by God and fraudulent tried to obtained the Master Mason password. What you do not know, they were not just architecture drawings, but they were scrolls (that delved into the high sciences of mathematics, astronomy and physics in which had been passed down by the Kemetic master builders who built the pyramids and other sacred structures in accordance with the universal laws), which were divinely inspired and although they represented some aspect of Sacred Geometry (this knowledge was much more than right angles and perpendiculars).

These lessons had a more spiritual meaning, which were passed down to Hiram Abiff who had rightful ownership to this knowledge because he had been properly initiated, entered, passed and raised to the sublime degree (the Ruffians did not have all the signs, tokens and words that would have allowed them to crossover into Joppa); to miss and/or overlook the value of suitable proficiency requirement (is no different then understanding that mathematics is Islam, and Islam is mathematics the knowledge has to be giving and received right and exact) because these lessons were rooted in the ancient mystic knowledge of those who had traveled and studied the mystery schools and had to be self-mastered and understood the wisdom that was revealed in the celestial and terrestrial spheres (represented in the symbolic columns of Jachin and Boaz, which typifies beauty and strength) in which they had organized to steal and was unwilling to continue on road and path less traveled.

These conspirators also understood that Hiram (the black man) would layout his scientific and knowledge of engineering on the Trestle Board relative to building King Solomon Temple (the timber was transported from Lebanon and it was of special quality and number of labors were astronomical), but this 15 Fellowcraft refusing to following and learning the skill-set of the Operative Masonry who knew how to meltdown brass, and/or precious metals into supporting the decorum and the beautification of the the temple (which according to biblical history was destroyed three times)—they sought to engage in a conspiracy against the Grand Master. The construction was systematically aligned with the spiritual and geographical motions and movements of the Sun (lessons in the winter solstice and summer solstice), which ties Masonry directly to studying and understanding many aspects of the universal order of things, in particular knowing the mathematical and astronomy of the universal order and how the divine laws functions as it relates to the sun, moon and stars (the motions and the divine principles have meanings far beyond the emblematic and many have found deeper meaning into the Zodiacs and numerology).

These Masonic moral lessons were designed to teach us that each degree and the work it involved pursuant to the Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason degrees should be taught and met with the highest level of seriousness (and internalized) in which this training is nonnegotiable (it should allow us to travel to foreign lands and territories unimpeded because we have been invested with the proper password and be able to obtain higher wages). The conspirators had only obtained partial knowledge (they were just Fellowcraft and not master Masons), but it would become their lower-self which controls emotions and ego (one of the seven Chakras) that led them to become jealous and envy of the knowledge that our Grand Master Hiram Abiff had obtained and because of this they were not willing to exemplify patience as good students, but they had plans of stealing the architecture knowledge of Hiram Abiff, the master builder.

The Medieval Europeans who were involved in the science trades and craftsmanship were valued because, it determined whether or not they had obtained the necessary workman's skills to be elevated and moved forward in these ancient trade Guilds associations, which would be equivalent to modern day labor unions and each stage of mastering the knowledge, it impacted ones wages (it ultimately determined socio-economic mobility). The operative skill-set mastering had many incentives and each lesson was predicated on learning and mastering the previous knowledge—Now, lets be clear the Nubian Nile Valley Civilizations of upper and lower Kemet (Egypt) had been engaged in the mystery systems of initiations (and were the originators of Operative Masonry and Speculative Masonry) long before the Europeans who during the Medieval period had become quasi-awakened and even after this initial historical phenomenon they were once again enlightened by the Blackmoors during the 8th century. I am not speaking of Arabs and Berbers; J.A. Rogers who authored a three volume set titled, Sex and Race and if there is any hidden or hard to find ancient historical information about Black civilizations, Rogers ordinary is my go to scholar. He has some very good information on the Moors and their ethno-racial kingdoms before and after the 8th century.

The likes of Imhotep and Akhenaton and the Kemetic history tells us that much of what the Europeans incorporated in England, France and Scotland relative to Freemasonry was stolen and lifted from Kemet. The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) who so-called convened and established the first body of organized Freemasons in the world in 1717, did not give credit nor recognized the Kemetic mystery schools. The Eurocentric mindset has never allowed many of those Europeans of yesterday and today to pay homage to the original master builders in Kemet and Kush. The black man is under the symbolic disguise of symbolism, is the true Hiram Abiff shrouded in mystery and coded in Masonic allegory.

TRANSITION OF POWER: MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN AND BLACK WOMAN OF AMERICA

By Fahim A. Knight-El

Image result for images of new world order

We have once again so-called entered into a New Year 2017, and there is perhaps a lot that we can reflect on as we view the national and global landscape—politically, economically and socially. But just allow me to reflect a bit on 2008, when the United States elected its first so-called African American president in electing President Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th president of these United States of America in which his winning created a tremendous amount of excitement and anticipation around the globe. President George W. Bush, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank and the global international bankers, etc., had played roles in dismantling the U.S. economy and after robbing America by inducing the America and global economic meltdown in 2008; thus, the Hidden Hand had nothing to lose in which the timing was right for them in selecting a black president. They had stripped him of his power and authority because unlike prior white presidents they severed him from the money (the bulk of the money just prior to Obama taking office was systematically taking out of U.S. vaults and were transferred to banks in Geneva, Switzerland, London, United Kingdom, Tokyo, Japan, Tel Aviv, Israel, Beijing, China, etc. This was done to force this pro-liberal president to embrace the exact same political agenda of his conservative predecessor George W. Bush and Obama immediately took up the Bush Doctrine and embraced the 'axis of evil' and its imperialist agenda and the international political motives of the Bush administration became his own by continuing acerbating the wars in Afghanistan (2001) and in Iraq (2003). They had already set the table for him (remember the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg put him in office and he was giving a script as all other U.S. presidents to follow). Do you remember his campaign slogan 'vote for change that you can believe in'. He too filled his cabinet with Washington insiders (most of them were President Bill Clinton loyalist and that alone should have been a sign that we had been duped and the game had not changed, it only intensified under a new puppet in black skin).

He has been more ruthless and brutal than George W. Bush by continuing agitating the Muslim and Islamic world; everyone around the world knows that Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., are no military equal to the western powers such as Russia, France, Britain, and the United States and the assault on these defenseless Middle Eastern nations have been horrific in scope in the killing of innocent civilians men, women and children and the bombing of Mosques. I remember years ago to fight during Ramadan was unheard of because every nation had respect for another nation’s religious holy days in war time and during peace time, and centers of worship were off limit to violent attacks and war (these type of criminal acts are evidence of how ineffective the United Nations have become and how Amnesty International has also lost international influence). I am of the opinion, that the West gave rise to Al-Qaeda and ISIS and the so-called radical militant Islamic movements; their so-called war on terror will only create many more Jihadist from around the world. And what the West cannot control is an idea that is steeped in the Qur’an and Hadiths (most Muslims in public will deny and relationship between the sacred teachings espoused by Muhammad Ibn Abdullah as recorded in the Qur'an) in which oppression and injustice is the inspiration behind martyrdom. So European nations are fearful and scared that the idea could be imbued in any nationality, race, skin color living in their country and/or outside the country—Paris, Brussels, London, New York, Berlin, Moscow, etc., because Islam is multi-ethnic and a multi-racial religion that has no allegiance to Western sovereignty—they are sometime Arabs who are the masterminds behind so-called terrorist attacks. But in the United States, we have witnessed white American citizens (who have become the new Islamic Enemy Combatants and young immigrant Muslims and even black American Muslims are even drawn to ISIS. Islam has taking deep roots over last 95 years in America that begin with Prophet Noble Drew Ali (Moorish Science Temple of America in 1913) and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Wali Fard Muhammad (Lost-Found Nation of Islam in the West in 1930)—now Mosques and Masjids are intertwined in America’s life and culture and it has led to an infusing of immigrant Muslims and African American Muslims becoming more acculturated centered around Islam.

Obama during the 2016 presidential election that pitted Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton; he had the audacity to issue us, his most loyal constituents black Americans an ultimatum about helping him further defined and secure his legacy (what legacy was he speaking about?) He has defined his own legacy which has been reactionary; he did absolutely nothing for black people, although we believed in him and he understood and had mastered black Democratic politics 101—blacks are loyal to the Democratic party (who has done nothing for them and we traditionally have giving them our vote and received very little in return--they have always taking the black vote for granted) and this phenomenon would allow him to take advantage of this sickness and having to bear no political consequences for his action; but he made good on issues and political promises involving Latinos, Jews, Lesbian and Gays, International banks and he just allowed African Americans a venue to come and sing and dance (I guess buffoning and clowning counts for something) and entertaining white folk at the White House. Here is a Negro who allowed white folk to force him to repudiate his long standing relationship with the Black Liberation theologian Dr. Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Trinity Church of Christ in Chicago in which he was a member for over 19 years, because Dr. Wright criticized U.S Foreign policy and lit into the 9/11 hoax and Dr. Wright spoke the truth—he was only speaking truth to power. Obama knew and understood that his pastor Dr. Wright and Minister Louis Farrakhan were friends and comrades in the struggle and these so-called complex relations caused him to publicly betray two standard bearers in the black community.

If Obama desires to solidify and secure his legacy, why doesn’t he pardon our revolutionary Sister Assata Shukur? who has lived in exiled in Cuba for over 30 years and black America truly owes a debt of gratitude to the late President Fidel Castro for protecting our sister from U.S.imperialism. We do not know, if those political prisoners that were giving political asylum under Castro’s reign will be continually protected by the new Cuban foreign policy initiatives and international law as the U.S. and Cuba diplomatic relations improve and/or will the U.S. Justice Department seek a new extradition policy, which will allow them to go after Assata Shakur; this is a very scary time and very dangerous era that we now live in. He also could pardon the Black Panther Party members (the Panther 21 and pardoning Mutulu Shakur) in which some of these black prisoner of war have languished in U.S. penitentiaries for close to 40 years—they were victims of U.S. Government Cointelpro spearheaded by former F.B.I Director J. Edger Hoover. President Obama could also pardon Mumia Abu Jamal and Imam Jamil Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown), but he doesn't have the heart to deviate from the script. We do know this much President-Elect Donald Trump ran his campaign as a law and order candidate and rest to sure all the 1960s and 1970s black freedom fighters who are incarcerated have nothing coming from Mr. Trump relative to justice.

I immediately thought about Obama giving the order to assassinate Osama Bin Laden, he also assassinated Colonel Muammar Qadaffi of Libya, a true friend of Africaand black people. Qaddafi even offered Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam a billion dollars (he actually said he would put the entire wealth of Libya behind the Nation of Islam and Minister Louis Farrakhan) monetary gift after the Million Man March in 1995, in which the U.S. Treasury Department and the State Department blocked. They wanted Farrakhan to register as a foreign agent, but I would have used Swiss Banks who very seldom turndown any money (dirty or clean) regardless of where and whom it was coming from and/or worked in collaboration with Ghana or some other African nation and received that billion dollars. Even if I had to build a Nation of Islam second headquarters in Switzerlandand use converted currencies to divert U.S.law and apply for dual citizenship in Genevaand Basil. But when you do not have a nationality, it subverts your right to act as a sovereign individual and/or nation but the ex-slave only has the 13^th, 14, and 15^th amendments to the United States Constitution this ties us to the United States Government (we are still their property) and Minister Farrakhan’s request was denied because the Nation of Islam unlike the indigenous Native Americans have no international diplomacy or representative in the United Nations. We have interacted with the Uniform Commercial Codes (UCC) and therefore, our interest and rights are tied to the U.S. Government, the corporation. Moving right along, Obama assassinated Imam Al-Awlaki of Yemen and American citizen (he implemented Drone warfare as a big tool to carry out assassinations around the globe) and under his watch the U.S. military had become more active in all of North Africa propping up CIA fronts in Mali, Egypt and Libya and if the truth be told he was behind the Benghazi hit killing ambassador Chris Stevens, etc. His legacy is written in globalism, militarism there is a trail of blood, that involves deception and international corruption that is on President Obama's hands and curtailing U.S. citizens civil liberties and hiding behind the so-called war on terror and terrorism.

President Obama just as George W. Bush, he imposed massive executive orders and used the office of Homeland Security to shield his dirty hand. He had to demonstrate to the Devil that he had it in him to carry out their agenda. Some Negroes thought this puppet was above critique and this is why I applauded the social critic and academician Dr. Cornel West and radio/television pundit Tavis Smiley for creating an environment that fostered debate and rendering critical analysis of the black President Barack Obama; surely he was not above critique and like all previous presidents his race nor his skin color should have been variables relative to giving him a free pass. Some accused both West and Smiley of having personal agendas and perhaps they did, but they appeared to be honest and forthright in their criticism. I was equally critical that President Obama had a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent provocateur and opportunist such as Reverend AL Sharpton doing his bidding in the black community. Sharpton is about creating personal gain for himself and using his so-called civil Rights organization National Action Network to promote himself and getting some money.

Obama relentlessly has fed and promoted false propaganda and disinformation in order to keep American citizens footing the global militarization bill; he and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State were attempting to agitate Iran to create a Persian Gulf crisis, but the United States quickly came to their senses utilized an old axiom that goes like this:"We have no permanent friends. We have no permanent enemies. We just have permanent interests."This led to John Kerry as Secretary of State signing the Iran Nuclear deal and simultaneously and secretly air transported over 400 millions dollars in Euros, Swiss france and other currents (this would be a clear example of how the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government has continually diverted U.S. international and Foreign Policy law and sidestepped the U.S. Congress, U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve and without a doubt this illegal monetary exchange had all the markings of a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operation, which was no different than the illegal smuggling of drugs. But only this covert operation involved smuggling currency (the commodity was contraband) and I am quite sure the U.S. Pentagon, National Security Agency and U.S. State Department were in on this deal (as well as all the above agencies and bureaucracies). The releasing of American prisoners which represented a partial payment of 1.7 billion dollars as part of the settlement to resolving the U.S. Government freezing of Iranian assets and money, that goes back to when Imam Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 overthrew Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi (a U.S. lapdog) after spearheading the Islamic Revolution. The U.S. Government working through the C.I.A. shortly after cut a deal with Saddam Hussein in which they armed the Iraqi Government with sophisticated weaponry (biological, chemical and mechanized weapons) and they used Hussein and Iraq as foreign policy tools in which they financed an eight year bloody war with Iran (and once the U.S. Government had no more need for Hussein services Bush led him to the slaughter).

The Iranian Government may have even specified what type of currency they desired in order to infuse it back into the global markets (embargoes and sanctions at this point was out the window) by eventually placing some of the loot back into western government banks after it was transported into Tehran's Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The transported currency was accessed from Central Banks in Switzerland and Amsterdam, Netherlands; it was not necessarily viewed by the players as ransom money, but goodwill money. This payout was mere diplomatic money to insure that the United States gets first access to the Iranian oil distribution trade and whatever is needed for U.S.consumption will be giving top priority. President Obama understood and knows that Russia, Chinaand North Korea were in long term oil trade agreements with Irananyway in spite of the embargoes and sanctions levied against Iran—for these nations have always been about self-interest. The Europeans know that Iran has had economic sanctions against this country for over 35 years and although, these United Nations sanctions and U.N. sanctions were imposed that did not stop the Seven Oil Sisters for doing business with this allege ‘rogue nation’—The Triangle oil trade (controlled by the Rockefellers family dynasty) that involved Iran, the United States, Great Britain and Israel and all points East, West, North and South.

President Obama’s elections (2008 and 2012) created a level of excitement in Americabut there were no one more excited than the African Americans who were descendants of slaves. President Obama's rise and ascension and rise to power and becoming the U.S. commander-in-chief and to occupy the Oval office were much more than a symbolic gesture for black people. Nevertheless, many of us could not and refuse to look beyond President Obama's skin color and it did not matter whether or not he would be just as reactionary as the prior white commander-in-chiefs when it came to black people. His politics would be no different than the prior other 43 U.S. presidents, but African-Americans were careful not to publically challenge him and rebuke him on public policy issues and his dismal foreign policy. The melanin in his skin meant something much deeper than white folk could have ever imagined and his Kenya, African genetic roots—tied an ethnic identity bond to blacks in America and around the world. His wife and first lady Michelle Obama has the blood of the ex-slaves flowing through her veins and not as an immigrant, but whether or not she fully understands the historical politically, economic and social dynamics that involved the slave experience, is a question only for her to answer. But African ancestral blood run through her DNA and it connects her directly to the African American experience in America.

The first black president—most of our elders over the age 65 thought they would never see a U.S. black president in their life time; the presidential election in 2008 created a very high level of political enthusiasm in America amongst black people, perhaps not seen since Abraham Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and the passing of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865. Yes, skin color and pigmentation mattered and racial identity mattered whereas blacks voted at a 94% clip for Obama in 2008 and was not far behind in 2012, but lets not get it twisted, he definitely was not the most qualified black leader to lead America. Yet it was about timing and space and whether or not his ascension to power was organic will always be questionable because all U.S. presidents are appointed, and as much as, we all would like to believe that Obama defied the odds he did not. The Hidden Hand selected him as one of their global servants. Some actually believed that America had changed (Obama’s election to the highest office in the land represented a so-called post-racial era), which gave way to overcoming 250 years of America being led by white men and the electing of this black skinned president surely in many minds represented a change in America relative to overcoming racial politics. But for many of us there were something much deeper than just winning a political election, it represented a longing that was deeply rooted in the history of being an oppressed and marginalized people in which white supremacy and racism had served as impediments to our freedom, justice and equality. Yet, to some of us to witness a black man rise to the Oval Office and sitting as the most powerful man in the world served somewhat as a redemption and further created optimism in a system of democracy that for 310 years had denied black people their humanity and the dehumanization of state sponsored slavery had left a people permanently scared and less optimistic.

Africans were forcibly kidnapped from Africa; our women were raped, the obedience whippings, the murders, forced labor, lynching, inferiority training—denied to speak their Bantu languages, giving a distorted version of Christianity and the Bible by white missionaries, and later they imposed black codes and Jim Crow laws in which the U.S. Supreme Court had written blacks in the U.S. Constitution as 3/5th of a human being (subhuman) based on the rules of Chattel Slavery and they solidified our slave status by passing the Dred Scott Decision (1857) and the Missouri Compromise (1820) and other slave legislation and judicial mandates. The history of American slavery still remains unresolved in 2017 and there will always be "Two Americas” one white and one black.

Yet, many of us still saw President Obama's political elevation as a belief in hope and an invoking of all dead black spirits and souls who had made transmigrations back to their ancestral homelands of Africa, because to be buried on slave land and in a country so evil as America towards our African ancestors, our spirits will never be able to totally rest—the perpetrators of these war crimes and their descendants have never issued Black people an official apology nor granted them reparations for their suffering. The Jews have not allowed any German and/or corporation to exist who had ties to the war crimes committed by the Adolph Hitler and the Germans during the Holocaust and World War 11 (they teach their unborn babies to never forget the Jewish suffering that took place in the Auschwitz concentration camps) and they have used the World Court and the United Nations and the present day Israeli Government to bring any known Hitler soldier or agent to justice. Moreover, Germany was mandated by the Jewish power and their international influence to pay reparations to Israel and the Holocaust victims. They also use their international political influence to deny asylum to any Nazi and have agreed extradition pacts to have any known Holocaust war criminal to be taking into custody by Jewish authority in which many of these Fascist and Hitler agent provocateurs have been brought to international justice and punished. But my interest is the Black Holocaust in which they have giving us the National Museum of African American History and Culture, in WashingtonD.C. but they have not giving us reparations and complete justice. We have settled for a museum while the criminals and their families still rule and have created generational wealth off the backs of black people as a result of Chattel Slavery. No justice, No peace. Black Lives Matter.
