The Ancestors

Beginnings

Twenty-one billion years of matter and antimatter, almost all of it black dark matter, black dark energy, black holes, flowing down a majestic cosmic ladder from universes to super clusters, galaxy clusters, galaxies, star clusters, quasars, pulsars, stars, solar systems, planets, other celestial bodies; to molecular complexes, crystals, molecules, atoms, elementary nuclear particles, photons, force fields, quantum levels, to the sub-quantum with spirit equaling pure energy transmitted through inorganic then organic life forms.

 

With the Earth maturing, and suiting itself for organic life, this emerging life begins to take the form of simple DNA and RNA molecules as vehicles of heredity, complexes of protein molecules, single cells, multiple cells, tissue-based complex organisms, organs, functional systems (neural, blood circulation, digestive, gas exchange, etc.), the organism as a whole, families of organism, colonies, various populations the formation of from multicellular organisms that possessed increasingly complex inherent capacities to adapt to changing earthly conditions; the transition to invertebrates, vertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and primates; and then the transition to human life over 5.5 million years ago, again in Africa, this time on the equator--- australopithecines to homo habilis, to homo erectus to homo sapiens Neanderthal to homo sapiens sapiens---modern women, men and children. 

 

Twenty one billion years this universe has been developing, growing, turning, maturing, and giving birth to galaxies, to suns, to planets, to moons.  And we are the cosmic fruit.  Hundreds of thousands of female human eggs, and tens of millions of male sperm cells to produce one single human being, a being that stands on the last rung of a majestic latter of cosmic development---at least in this solar system.  Universes, galaxies, solar systems, stars and planets all had to live and die, many times over, so that earth might fit itself and make itself suitable for life. Think of the possibilities, the billions of years of trial and error, how perfectly ordered things had to be for you to get here, how difficult it has been for you to survive, to earn your life, to get your chance---and, yet here we stand with more than enough to change the course of our own histories.  You and I have lived long enough to know we’d trade everything for just one chance to make the things that went wrong right again.  

Premature Endings

In social terms human civilization is less than 9,000 years old, and unfolded first in Africa, with the earliest civilizations emerging along the Nile River. Struggle for life necessities generated surpluses, classes, private property and a state apparatus to manage class, gender, ethnic, and cultural organization/relations.  Settlements became, villages, towns, cities, regional chiefdoms, kingdoms, then confederations, and federated nations in Kmt.  Entire African empires formed with classes of the exploited and exploiters organized around river and agricultural production, distribution, exchange, consumption, and reproduction.  These were the first and longest lasting economies in world history.  And they were absolutely free of slavery, enslavement, and forced servitude.  In time, these indigenous Black civilizations would have gone through their natural internal birth-death-rebirth cycles, reflecting the industrial revolution and presently the scientific and technological revolution.  Think of ancient Kmt’s architectural, engineering, moral, and cultural perfection modernized?   They had a federal government, over 4891 years before the United States.  But they and other indigenous African civilizations were not allowed to live long or prosper after the foreign invasions.  They were overwhelmed externally when confronted with superior military force, murderous spirit, and predatory zeal. 


Crippled, invaded by waves of foreigners, torn apart by brute force, Black Kmt civilization collapsed, regressed and lost everything, initiating 2,700 years of regionalized, then hemispheric, then global Black holocaust.  Too tender to know we were in a fight, too wedded to dead tradition, cannons and guns pointed at men with spears and arrows, men on horses trampling men/women/children on foot, Africans lacking the science to make the technology for mechanized weapons, too softened by abundance to even fight back successfully with the weapons we had---we paid the full price for millennia.  Holocaust came down hard.  Slavery, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, it did not matter the system.  In all of them Africans were the prey, African land and resources were the objective.  African culture, education, history was hunted down, identified, isolated, and liquidated. 

Taken to the mines, plantations, swamps, and rice patties our ancestors’ flesh, blood, sinew and stolen cultural know-how was transformed into gold, silver, copper, bronze, food, and fiber for European and Arab slavery, feudalism, and capitalism.
Three thousands of years of devastation have passed.  We lost.  They won.  Everywhere they went the formulae were the same: enslaved African mass equals sugar, cocoa, cotton, beets, tobacco, beans, dates, rum, molasses, gold, silver, rice, indigo, hemp/multiply profit/geometrically multiply white wealth/multiply the development of white/Arab civilization while creating the inverse in African civilization.  With hundreds of years of cultivated destructiveness, they were better suited at fighting to win; we were not prepared to stop them.  And so we were overwhelmed in an unprecedented way.


The repeated predatory invasions of the African continent (Hittites, Hyksos, Libyans, Jews, Assyrians, Persians, Macedonians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, Arabs, Turks, Spanish, Portuguese, English, French, Dutch, Danes, Brandenburg Germans, European Jews, Scots, Swedes, Belgians, Irish, Russians, etc.), the pillage of African nations, the theft of land and life, the rape of women and children, the sodomy of men and women, the castrations of young boys---the making of "eunuchs", the harems for the pimping of the Black race's young girls, the orphaning of children, the unanswered prayers to Allah/God/Jehovah---the very gods of the murderers/enslavers, the merciless captures, the kidnapping, the two thousand mile death marches from coast to coast, the imprisonment in caves/cages/dungeons, the inextinguishable death cries of children/women/men, the mutilations, the blood-thirsty massacres, the severing of heads and their impaling on sticks, the imprisonment in dungeons, the torture, the packing on death ships, the macabre Middle Passage, the genocidal Holocaust of African Enslavement, the constant and unsilencable barbarism, the perverted fondling and groping of innocent children, the sinister gang rapes of prostrate African women and children, the agonizing unheard screams, the breaking of spirits with whip and rope, the working to death of millions, the seven year life expectancy, the immoral breeding, the stealing of children from their mothers and the selling of them into slavery, the long days of labor and the long nights of terror, the murderers imposing Islam, the murderers imposing Christianity and Islam, the forced “converts” from African culture to Arab and European culture---the murderer's names, the slaver’s cloth, the rapist’s religions, the settler’s language, the brute’s habits and values, the harmer’s mis-education (with built-in restrictions on science and technology), the white supremacist imposing their culture and way of life, the trickery, the false claims of "emancipation", the long nights of white torture and humiliation, the segregation, Jim Crow, the lynching and burning, the discrimination, the scapegoating, the slander, the systematic reducing of a race to obsolescence, the mass imprisonment, the mass confinement to filthy ghettos, the flooding of our communities with white powdered poison sold in plastic packs and crack, the pushing of pounds/grams and powder, the spreading of retro-viruses, an innocent race of Black children forced to grow up with no future knee-deep in waste/profanity/corruption and hopelessness, the mass preparation of Africans for the final of their "Final Solutions," and the tremendous weight of daily racism was crushing.  Blackness was overcome by white supremacy, freedom became slavery, African female-centered became male supremacy, African-centered became European-centered, independence became dependence, self defense became defenseless nonviolence, the first became last. 

Everything good about
Africa and Africans became defined as bad. Clowns, comic, and entertainers became elevated to race leaders.  Affirmative action became reverse discrimination.  The end is near: 5 years, 10 years, 30 years.  Societies are like planets, they have their own natural life spans.  When they cannot distribute what they produce, they in time degenerate toward collapse and later are replaced by higher forms.  The period of economic collapse is first, furious, and it can be final for any scape-goated population.

New Beginnings

Concurrently, the African redemption and resurrection has moved on unceremoniously.  It has its own life, too.  It is a cultural movement, it is a movement of redemption, it is a movement of independence and self reliance, it is a movement of economic and social reconstruction, it is a movement of political self sufficiency.  Nothing in the universe is ever lost, it is merely transformed and transferred.  Over 600,000,000 wasted lives, people killed in their primes, souls spent, their bodies burned like fossil fuel, their energy fueling global agricultural and industrial revolution.  Innocent people, intimately harmed---they live within the children of Africa today, their memory is never to be forgotten.  For no matter how high we get we will still be looking up to them.  Things are running their natural course. 

 

As a rule, from inception to infancy to youth, through maturity, to old age, to death and eventually to replacement by something higher---those societies built on the Industrial Revolution (IR), i.e., mechanical machines, steam power, fossil fuels, and the foundation of enslaved Black labor power, are in decay and are disintegrating economically, politically, socially, culturally, and morally.  All developed industrial societies are dying in the face of the Scientific and Technological Revolution which replaces wage laborers, ending the selling of commodities previously produced and sold to wage laborers who are now permanently unemployed and therefore without means of buying computer automated machine produced necessities of life.  Capitalist and socialist societies have no means of circulating commodities to the jobless short of credit-debit which must ultimately be paid, and therefore are collapsing under the weight of contracting domestic markets and mounting armies of nonconsuming-nonproducing permanently unemployable previous workers.  These societies have run their natural course, as will others. 

Clock Work, Moments and Movements

In particular, the United States will continue along its own historic path, its own unique process of natural social development since the invasions of 1492.  In its death throes, today, this moribund society will show all of the genocidal tendencies which were present at its founding.  Passing centuries of rebellions, uprisings, upheavals, the same old problems persisting, from slavery to feudalism to capitalism; rulers changing from one group of semites to another, from one group of whites to another, each more cruel, murderous and sinister than the previous one; each imposing a morally bankrupt religion with slaves, masters, missionaries, and fake salvation in the sky. For 2,700 years we have been left to piece together broken lives and families, crushed hopes, denied futures.   

For centuries, African sons and daughters had watched and worked attentively as revolt after revolt ended pathetically, unmercifully, cruelly, and in disaster.  Solutions were not scientifically studied.  Though giving their natural best, past African fighters were not prepared, and so they lost.  Anybody can fight and lose, but only those who plan, prepare, and pursue without pause win in the end.  Unprepared, unorganized, messy, divided, self-hating, uncommitted, divided, mystical, unscientific, wishy-washy, egotistical, unwilling to pay the price---the failures mounted, thus, delaying the inevitable resurrection of the African population.  Success requires a concrete understanding of (1) the objective conditions, (2) the African problems, and (3) what must be done to solve the problems, and (4) then the will to go out and do it.  Collectively, this has never been done.


There were three moments in African history in the
Western Hemisphere which evolved the social underpinnings to solve the African Problem in North America.  Early 1800’s, Mid-1800’s and early 1920’s.  The mass movement of Africans around the means of production; whether its was inclusive or exclusive, repulsing or attracting, expanding or contracting---all of these factors must be taken into consideration.  In addition, the emerging leadership of the African Americanized mass also has to be queried.  What were they trying to do? What were the conditions they were trying to do this in? What were their choices?

Social movements are not a single act. First must come major technological innovation; production, distribution, exchange, and consumption back up and economic dislocation causes political crisis between classes, races, ethnicities, sex/genders, cultures and generations.  The existing social system then becomes untenable.  Next, as new means of production (robotics and computer driven automation) come into use, all the social relations (production, distribution, exchange, consumption, reproduction) based on the old means of production are methodically and overtime destroyed resulting in the ongoing destruction and decomposition of society. Next, as this destruction of society as we knew it becomes unbearable, a ruling, owning class hands power to its Nazi group, there is a period of regression, decay, decadence, degeneration, and social destruction.  Next, after much civil war, the society (if it lives through its internal unrest) is cleansed of its regression period, leaped forward and is reorganized in such a way as to be compatible with the new productive forces. This is an objective process, practiced many times in history in many different places. 

The racial, sex, cultural, and generation content of this process symbiotically poses, opposes, and composes itself within the context of this process of social disintegration.  It can take years or even decades to unfold.  The mass movements of Africans in
America (and everywhere in the world) emerge (along with their forged leadership) from within this technological, economic, social, and political maturation.  It can be studied, precisely.  It can be understood. It is predictable.  It is inevitable.


In the first decade of 2007+, where are we in this process? Delphi, Chrysler, Xerox, Ford, GM, Sony, IBM, and various state, municipal, county, and federal governing bodies are openly cutting wages and salaries, laying off workers, cutting out health care, cutting out retirement benefits, closing schools, closing factories, closing plants, closing social services, cutting out recreation programs, transforming permanent employment to part-time, temporary to part-year, part-year to contract labor, then to permanent unemployment and destitution.  Robots are far more productive, but they do not buy what they produce; humans need to buy but do not have money because they do not have a job.  The society's distribution system must be brought into line with its new production system.  Such a move would remove the profit motive and the capitalist/socialist from the political equation.  Everything dying, obsolete, moribund, passing away fights for its life.  There will be decades of fighting.  Nothing will be easy.  The economic crisis, degeneration, then collapse will be first.   

It is apparent in the United States that we have already entered the economic crisis with foreclosures (including upper-middle class) crippling the construction/home loan industries on a national level.  This is the tip of a domestic then global iceberg.  Trillions of dollars are tied up in the fantasy that you actually own a home that you are contracted to pay for over 30 years.  The loan defaults of semi-rich white folk are now being called in.  The housing crisis hit working class folk years ago.  Stable, read: relatively wealthy, whites are now losing their jobs and the ability to pay for their house-notes, car notes, credit cards, health care, taxes etc.  Social degeneration and collapse are next.  We have not begun the political crisis yet.   That is years up the road.  When it does begin, it will be too late to study.  The modern-day ovens will already be hot before most people even know they exist.  Solutions will then be final.

Quotes From Dr. Hilliard


Problem of African People


We Africans, however, have not viewed our problem holistically. After years of living under conditions of extreme oppression, we have settled for limited definitions of our problem. A classic example may be taken from the period of the civil rights movement. The evil and gross injustice of slavery and segregation violated the civil rights of African people and had to be addressed. However, the necessary task of fighting for civil rights was insufficient to allow for the healing of our people. Our healing requires a greater conceptual frame than that provided by civil rights.

  1. First, we must see ourselves as an African people, or we will be unable to develop this critical frame.
  2. Second, we must understand not only the role that white supremacy has played in our subjugation, but also the role that we ourselves have played by not practicing self-determination in our struggle to counter the MAAFA.

To reawaken the African mind we must ensure that the goal of our educational and socialization processes is to understand and live up to the principle of MAAT. -Asa G. Hillard, III


African Condition


No matter where Africans are-on the continent or in the Diaspora-our condition is the same. We are on the bottom and descending. The MAAFA [Kiswahili term for "Disaster" or "Terrible Occurrence] continues to take its toll. We are unconscious, unorganized, unfocused, and lost from our purpose. Our strongest visible leadership is in hot pursuit of minimal narrow goals like, 'integration,' 'civil rights,' 'jobs,' 'voter registration,' etc. We seek minimal adjustment and temporary comfort by assimilating to whatever the political, economic and cultural order may be, even when that order is itself in chaos, or driven by values that are anti-African. . . . When we "dream," we often do not dream original dreams; we merely seek relief from pain. As a result, the dream does not encompass a meaningful plan or strategy which is connected to moblization.


Lack of Plan, Program, Purpose


We do not know who we are, cannot explain how we got here, and have no sense of our destiny beyond mere survival. Most of us hope to hitch a ride on someone else's wagon with no thought whatsoever as to where that wagon may be going. We have no destination of our own. Ask our leadership, ask our women, men or children on the street what our agenda is. Ask them what plans Africans have and what we want to build for ourselves within the next five, ten, twenty-five, seventy-five or one-hundred years? We are so used to having others make long-term plans for us that the idea of our own five-year plan is petrifying to us.-Asa G. Hillard, III


Dr. Asa Hilliard: A Tribute

Look at Processes, Not Merely People

Industrialization put an end to slavery and serfdom throughout the world.  Wars were fought to reorganize the mass around the new reality. Simply put, machines did the work of enslaved Africans more profitably and efficiently, agriculture became mechanized, and manufacturing required unskilled assembly-line workers.  The whites organized a civil war, formed armies and militia, armed whites and made sure Blacks were "disarmed" and non-violent contraband, just as they later took-over and dis-organized the civil rights movement, including sanctioning the leaders and their opposition. They fought their civil war, used/misused us on both sides, killed us and each other, the north won essentially because of our efforts, next the whites decided the terms of peace, reconstructed their country pacifying us temporarily with a 'freedman's' bureau and a few congressmen, lynched/burned and cheated black representatives out of office, re-established bloody Black-codes, then turned loose the lynch-mob Ku Klux Klan’s reign of terror to maintain white supremacy. 

Next, their supreme court in plessy v. ferguson (1896) said that our jim-crowed blood flowing in their gutters was ok. Separate but equal they called it.  Their legislatures passed laws legalizing white murder, maiming, mutilation, disenfranchisement, poll taxes, grandfather clauses, literacy tests---anything imaginable to cheat, brutalize, hold down, and keep Blacks profitably working in sub-standard conditions. Over 50 gruesome years passed with whites operating on the unwritten principle of "kill one, terrorize 1,000."  Democracy in action.  Each term, like clockwork, the solid white ruling, middle, and working class defended this with their votes, riots, and ropes. This has been the heart beat of the country, it's highest cultural expression, its soul: to cheat nonwhites, beat nonwhites, and take their land, the fruits of their labor, liberties, and their very lives whenever it is in the interests/profit of whites.  

After nuclear bombing
Japan, financing Hitler to power then removing him, American capitalists needed desegregation, Black wage labor, and a way for Blacks to spend the money that they made (back with whites). By 1946, Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa's industrial infrastructure had been decimated by WWI&II. The US positioned itself to rebuild these areas at great profit via Marshall/MacArthur Plans.

Blacks had been bravely fighting to end segregation/discrimination for centuries.  Temporarily the interests of the ruling class whites matched the needs of the Black mass for jobs in factories.  They grudgingly reorganized their economies, changed supreme court decisions, introduced reform legislation, and used their federal government to  reform their civil rights acts to serve their interests.  State governments resisted, but later saw the profit of it.  The result: desegregation, then partial integration, then Black disintegration of community and family. The whites were in charge of this process from beginning to end, killing real dissent/dissenters, crushing protest, and "neutralizing" our best and brightest in a hail of bullets, after having already assassinated their characters. Unceremoniously, the mass of Blacks graduated from fields to factories, countryside to cities, plantations to ghettos, south to north, walking to buses, farmwork to mechanized but obsolete industrial factory work, and payment in kind to wage labor (which the whites made sure was spent with them).  Take away the semi-automated technology, and they are still on farms, sharecropping, hand to mouth, cheated daily, receiving payment in kind.    This is the material context/pretext of civil rights, before the actual reflective mass movement.

The white working class graduated to the suburbs and automated machine production and service work.  The economy expanded unprecedentedly and capitalist got rich.  New houses, new highways, new schools, new churches, new factories, new skyscrapers, new hotels, new office buildings, new stadiums, all things new were built for them.  These whites, over 50 million of them, got low cost loans and government assistance to move to new settlements around new means of production, production spheres, automation regions, manufacturing/service sectors. The majority of the urban Black population largely moved into the old houses, rapidly becoming obsolete jobs, and churches/synagogues that the whites moved out of---but usually continued to own.  Many were warehoused in projects, temporary housing for temporary factory workers, and reserves.

A small Black middle class, thinking itself entitled, has emerged out of this.  Because of its marginal privilege, like the house negro during slavery, that class ignorantly and disgracefully defends the present order of things.  Surely white Nazis care nothing of the class status of these Blacks; they see knifed, burning, black skin hanging by noosed neck, nothing else.

From 1950-mid 1990's, whites ended up with new places to live and higher living standards.  At the same time, not much new building construction (usually none) took place in the African American community.  Slums, white-abandoned buildings, burnt out structures, filthy streets, and dumping grounds accelerated the deterioration of already crumbling ghettos.  W
hite capitalists benefited the most, to the tune of over 19 trillion in profits over three decades of unprecedented expansion.  By the late 1970’s, desegregation was over, the white backlash and reverse discrimination gained life, and the economic/cultural stage was set for present white Nazi movements spreading like wildfire throughout the USA, the Americas, and Europe (including Russia).  They seek seizure of political power.  History has verified, time and again, that the conservative will hand it to them when the time is ripe.


In retrospect, African leadership had not properly studied the foundations to their social movements.  They certainly have not prepared.  How would slavery last for 500 years? Colonization? Segregation? Sort of like a construction engineer trying to build a building on land that has not been cleared, without an architectural plan (which had not been drawn), and without an urban plan (which he/she did not know they needed).  Careful study and planning is essential to anything complex. 

Individual leaders are like lost swimmers in the ocean, without a ship, trying to out maneuver a shark in the eye of a hurricane. Without a ship they have nothing, they have no chance. The ship is the context, opportunity, the moment, the favorable circumstance. Essentially, then, leaders are made by history; they merely make the decisions that are historical.  Social movements
make people.  Masses move when something fundamental to their existence moves, fundamentally, then forces them to move in mass.  Originally, they are organized around producing something, distributing it, exchanging it, consuming it and reproducing it.  They either own that process, or, are owned by it.  Based on their place in it (and their consciousness of that place) they will either defend it, go along with it, or fight it.  This is a fluid process with most just going along, until the formula changes, they are forced to fight for survival, suffering becomes unbearable, and the social arrangements become untenable. Then leaders emerge who see further, faster, and without fear or faint-hearts.  They are measured for the tasks by the times.

Conditions are the context for movements, movements incubate for decades before the moment ripens for their expression.  Ms. Rosa Parks was not the first African American to rightfully sit in the front of the bus and face the degenerate arm of the state; thousands had done so before her.  All were jailed, most brutalized, some tortured.  Many were killed.  Therefore, the moment in history has to be intimately understood as to establish what can get done.  Almost all Black leadership has been deficient in this area, wasting whole lives talking about things they have not even taken the time to carefully study. 


For the most part, poorly prepared African American leaders and white–allowed opposition (those not allowed were assassinated/imprisoned) merely tailed the process of (1) mechanical labor replacing manual labor for a Civil War and the end of slavery, then (2) semi-automated replacing mechanized machine production in the 1940’s for the Civil Rights Movement, and now (3) computer automated robot production (1980's to present) and the relative end to wage labor and the economies, social systems, and governments/political systems built around it. In time, as the new and more efficient means of production developed, social and political crises followed like clock work---not the other way around.  As social disintegration reflects technology's impact on economic production and distribution adversely, there is a temporary period of regression before the leap forward---a period of fascist/nazi attempts at seizure of power.  Actually, the conservatives will hand it to them.  They know that robotics/computer automation, and the end of wage labor in mining, manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and service industries are the guarantee that the industrial era of capitalism or socialism is over.  Robots work but don't buy. Unemployed don't work, so they can't buy.  No wage/salary means, in time, no life.  On the capitalist side, there is no profit in unsold commodities.  No profit, no capitalism, socialism---or any "ism" built around wage labor. The skin color does not matter here. In time, this will happen the world over.

Workers (in any wage-labor economy) without paychecks can’t buy food, clothing, houses, cars, computers, or pay taxes to support governments.  Governments without taxes are modern Gestapos in brown shirts minus social services, chasing down those caught “driving-while-black.”  This will replicate in many skin colors across national lines.  The classes of each nation state will fight this out on battle fields around the world under many guises, pretext and pretensions: oil, terror, minerals, farmland, forests, “national interest,” free trade, threats to national security, "breathing space," making the world safe for democracy (read: white democracy), freedom (read: white freedom), etc.  World War I and II were destructive (61,000,000 casualties) but profitable; these wars put people back to work by the hundreds of millions after surpluses in the hundreds of billions had been destroyed.  The destruction will happen again, but the re-employment won’t.  Robots and computer automation have replaced human labor in the production/profit equation.  Time is up.

Today, even weapons are best made by robots organized by computers on an automated assembly line devoid of almost all human labor.  The fact will remain the same:  a social formation, a form of society, a social system is passing away, sort of like a solar eclipse, but this time on a global scale and with the intensity and rapidity of 9 billion warring souls.  And the ruling classes of the world know it and are preparing.  What will happen then?  What usually happens when desperate people stand up to armed agents of the state who have weapons of mass destruction and a Patriot Act, nazi-leaning Supreme Court, and a conservative white mass that has mandated that it is ok to use them on Blacks and other nonwhites. 

A
s a rule, from inception to infancy to youth, through maturity, to old age, to death and eventually to replacement by something higher---those societies built on the Industrial Revolution (IR), i.e., mechanical machines, steam power, fossil fuels, and the foundation of enslaved African labor power, are in decay and are disintegrating economically, politically, socially, culturally, and morally.  Industrial societies (regardless of the population skin-color) are passing away in the face of the Scientific and Technological Revolution which replaces wage laborers, ending the selling of commodities previously produced and sold to wage laborers who are now permanently unemployed and therefore without means of buying computer automated machine produced necessities of life. 

Capitalist and socialist societies have no means of circulating commodities short of credit-debit which must ultimately be paid, and therefore are running their course under the weight of contracting domestic markets and mounting armies of “nonconsuming-nonproducing” permanently unemployable previous workers/middle class administrators.  These societies have run their natural course.  Like the rise and fall of the
Roman Empire, they are again plunging the white world into what they’ll define as a “dark age.”  With Asia poised/hovering, and given the destructive arsenal of weapons that this population has and its long and recent genocidal history, these will be desperate times.  This is an unforgiving moment.  Those faint at heart have limited options.  Hundreds of millions will be slated for death under some excuse or another.  Soberly, only the most dedicated will make it through to the other side.  Play time is over.


Dominoes take time to fall.  But when toppled, they fall as a chain-reaction.  Societies count their lives in planet years as opposed to dog years.  They have technological, economic, social, political, and cultural systems that are symbiotically symmetrical and interdependent.  They take time to transform themselves, but are destined, just as stars, planets, and entire galaxies are born, mature, die and are reborn after being recycled by black holes.  People are born into this destiny, but they make their own history out of the life they are bequeathed and live.  Nothing is promised.  Other rotten people of the passing order see them and try to kill them thinking they are killing, strangling, suffocating, or stifling the historical processes that progressives represent in their cribs.  Networks are at working keeping people calm, fearful, and confused.  Still those most prepared and determined always prevail in the end, for better or for worst.

Change is the constant, however.  Processes are fluid like gold melted into plasma and transitioned into gas.  Time is the key variable factor.  Study allows you to isolate when things will happen.  History tells you what will happen based on what has happened. Masses find themselves when they lose their innocence/child-like faith in things: there are no tooth-fairies, elephants don’t fly, no conjured saviors actually “save” you, no democracies while millions are enslaved/bred/brutalized/sold.  Just a world in need of a big mirror, and people willing to look at the mess they’ve made (chronologically, historically, logically, and truthfully) and clean it up.  Those choosing truth are set free.  Those choosing this coming dance with death will be left to make peace with Nazis.  Modern Nazis are true-believers with a stage of societal regression temporarily in their favor; surely they’ll take advantage of it in the most brutal and efficient of ways.  Their solutions will, of course, be final. 


Allied with modern-day white abolitionists calling themselves “revolutionaries,” integrationalist Blacks will again be the cannon fodder of yesteryear.  History, they say, repeats itself twice, first as tragedy, next as farce.  Dependent in name and deed, they see no alternative but to crawl along, shining the master’s boots, strapped to a rusty bucket until the well itself runs dry.  Their understanding of history is limited to names and dates of white-sanctioned “acceptable” Blacks (Blacks who joined whites and became the leaders who were led by them).  Abolition was not liberation.  Liberation was not freedom.  What is freedom without independence?  What is independence without justice? For the white ruling class, cotton still had to be picked.  The dirty work of a society had to be done.  The white worker was not going to pick it or do the dirtiest work.  In amused contempt for Blacks, they voted for the nazi-like government representatives.  They still do.  They (white workers) suited up as the Klan, in police uniforms and also in white sheets---burning, lynching, mutilating, maiming, and mass murdering innocent Black people. 

After centuries of managing a slave economy/breeding and selling children, the "democratically" elected white US government created the murderous Jim Crow laws, the white courts sanctioned them constitutionally, and the white police force and military beat "law and order" into the skulls of the segregated, and the masses of whites supported the racial hierarchy which had them on top.  This is called democracy. You know how reconstruction ended: it took another 100 years of state sponsored brutality before a civil rights movement after decades of dogs, water hoses, burning flesh, ropes and lynch-mob law.  You know how the civil rights movement ended: white backlash, end of affirmative action, fantasy of reverse discrimination from the subordinated/dependent Black population, legislative retaking of most Black civil rights won in 1965 by the Patriot Act of 2002.  


Reaching for the Light Continually

Harriet Tubman

harriettubman2.jpgIn the darkness of night, Elder Tubman walked hundreds of miles, in the hot humid summers and freezing cold winters, facing sudden death if caught, dogs hunting her down, men with guns, knives, whips, tar, feathers, fire and ropes.  But there she was, heedless, determined, not afraid of the degenerate white brutes, unwilling to be stopped, being victorious every time, never losing a person along the journey. Going in there and saving Black women, men and children over and over again.  Knowing what she would face if caught. Only 20 years earlier, these white brutes tore apart the body of Nat Turner, hung him, burned him, severed his reproductive organs, saving body parts as souvenirs, sewing salvaged pieces of skin into purses, and cutting off his testicles while alive. Brutes. Enslavers. Humans of the lowest type.  She knew the character of the people who pursued her. And yet she continued.  Today revisionist historians place people singing "we shall overcome" and crawling around seeking handouts above her.  But our innocent children, this new African generation, will set the facts straight.

Elder Tubman said she stopped counting the number of people she helped because there were so many.  She carried details of her efforts to the grave to protect the integrity of her work. Over 1.5 million people were given a life because of her bravery: after 25 years of work, if she rescued 1,000, then their children, grand children, great grands, great great grands, and other descendants would amount to more than a million and a half. This is the kind of work serious people should be doing. 

People do not discuss what kind of bravery/heart/courage/will/love/intelligence it takes to do this one time...but she did it over and over again---looking death in the eye and winning.  Often people do one thing and walk around as though they have done enough. Look at the sorry state of Black mis-leadership today, falling over each other to get in front of a microphone or tv camera.  No one comes close to doing what she did. She kept going back, knowing what she faced each time. Working by herself, selflessly, heedlessly, and with precision. 

Our children should internalize the best of our ancestors.  Not just the ones who primarily served the whites and Arabs interest of reforming slavery so as to continue to use it in a more refined, modern, and efficient way.

Bricks to Lay, Lives to Restore

Not to worry, the best of this generation of Africans is already leading its own way.  Even though the memories have long faded, 21 billion years have made them for this moment.  Those who are open-minded, thinking, honest, and free of useless mystical dead-weight are already moving toward new beginnings on the road of the traveler, where there is no room for illusions.  They have gotten off their knees.  They know the heart beats of their ancestors. 

Today, they appreciate the courage of a black woman who would go back into the bloody jaws of slavery, time and time again, to free others because she wanted them “to feel what it felt like to be free of chains.”[1]  Today they are emulating this courage and the very best practices of our wonderful ancestors.  With humility, they are saving only what is necessary; letting the whites have what is theirs, that which does not include us---all of it.  They are dropping careless hanger-ons and dispensing with the dead-weight of ages; making no room for objects of gold, silver or stones of the rarest cuts; no statues of false idols and saviors —in the intelligent heart these things died long ago, and with them the conjured stories sanctioned to sustain them.   They have many rivers, and even oceans to cross.  They know it.  But they are willing to listen, learn, and live independent of lies, liars, and liabilities.  Listen.  You can hear their heart beats. 


In the end, the best lessons are taken from this history; mistakes are admitted and corrected, words become works, everyone leads themselves, everyone contributes the best of what they are.  To suffer a defeat means to commence anew, redoing everything to discover the path to victory. Honesty is not feared, no matter how hard and bitter it is.  Where sloppy, become precise; where unprepared, prepare; where confused/mystical, engage in scientific study and moral contemplation; where ignorant, gain wisdom; where soft and defenseless, make ourselves as steel; where abandoned with no direction, find our way, the way; where dependent, become self-reliant.  Rid of old idols, rotten habits, shed the old, and continually cleanse ourselves.  People willing to work will work.  The morally sound African mass will find away, at least the best and the brightest of them.


And on judgment day, standing on the front line, when asked by our wonderful ancestors what we did with our lives, let the record show that we did what had to be done.  And we did it well.

MAAT CODE OF LIFE

We have the moral and historical obligation to professionally organize our misery, our suffering, our enslavement, and our exploitation, not merely to end this miserable condition but  to give new meaning to this life, to make dreams come true, to give new hope, to love and live again without the pain, to feel life beyond the storms, to feed our hungry, clothes those naked, to shelter the homeless, educate the ignorant, to create wings that fly, to make wrongs right, to pick up those who fall, to lift those who lost their reach, to strengthen those who are weak, to lend voice to those unable to speak, eyes to those who cannot see, legs to those who cannot walk, and heart to those who are in fear.  Our obligation is to carry this out scientifically in accordance with the ancient moral principles of Maat.
