"The Fall of America: Our Government Has Been Hijacked"By Fahim A. Knight-ELThe United States of America has been in a decline for over forty years and like all past powerful and great Empires and Republics, the handwriting is on the wall. The sad thing about this reality and predicament is that most Americans do not have a clue that this government, our government is in trouble. The Fall of America is inevitable, the breakdown of the family structure is proof positive that values and morality which under girds this institution has been eroded. Those who robbed the American people and the world of its most precious commodity gold and silver; and set-up the Federal Reserve System in 1913, also handed our monetary system over to a small criminal inspired Cartel and rogue led private bankers, known as the Central Banks, which have help to lead us down the road of abyss and of no return. It has become every man for himself and God for us all. One of the bloggers named QRSWAVE on the http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/39 website always closes their comments with this quotation, ‘MONEY’ HAS NO VALUE-PEOPLE DO.” (Reference: Eustace Mullins; “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve”).
The late Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam, who authored a book in 1973 of the same titled, "The Fall of America" in a chapter titled, "Decline of the Dollar" stated, "The strong-hold of the American Government is falling a pieces. She has lost her prestige among the nations of the earth. One of the greatest powers of America was her dollar. The loss of such power will bring any nation to weakness, for this is the medium of exchange between nations. The English pound and the American dollar have been the power and beckoning light of these two great powers. But when the world went off the gold and silver standard, the financial doom of England and America was sealed. The pound has lost 50 percent of its value. America's dollar has lost everything now as a power backing for her currency, which was once backed by gold for every $5 note and up. Al currency was backed by silver, from $1 note up. But today, the currency of America is not backed by any sound value—silver or gold. The note today is something that the government declares they will give the value in return, but does not name what that value is. But they definitely are not backing their currency with silver or gold. This is the number-one fall, and it is clear that the loss of the power of the American dollar means the loss of the financial power of America." (Reference: Elijah Muhammad: "The Fall of America" pg. 87).
Remember these words were written by Muhammad, over thirty-five (35) years ago perhaps even before the European Economic Community and Euro were instituted. This article is not about economics per-se, but is more about exposing some of the circumstances and the clique who have committed these criminal acts of High Treason; moreover, and revealing that our government (monetary system) and people have been hijacked—politically, economically and socially by some powerful entities that is for the most part, faceless and nameless, they choose not to reveal their identities and have chosen to work behind front men such as presidents, kings, queens, ambassadors, business tycoons, politicians, religious leaders, academicians, media, etc. (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy”).
The devaluation of the United States dollar and the present day economic recession were not created in a vacuum, but these social and economic phenomena’s are well crafted and driven by the Unseen Hand. America sold its soul to the devil in 1913 (which is also the date for the establishment of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) may-be this date is mere coincidental or may-be not), when the US Government turned over our monetary system over to a bunch of private bankers that operates behind the Federal Reserve System and then gave twelve Central Banks (coincidental according to the Bible wasn't there Twelve (12) Tribes of Israel) unprecedented and unilateral monetary authority of U.S. currency and the world currency; no wonder we are in this mess in 2008.
This is a list of Banking Institutions (Central Banks) that rules the entire planet: 1. Rothschild Bank of London, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, 2. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York (Rockefeller) Chase National bank of New York (Rockefeller). 3. First National Bank of New York. 5. Hanover National Bank of New York. 6. Goldman Sachs of New York. 7. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York. 8. Lehman Brothers of New York. 9. Warburg Bank of Hamburg Warburg Bank of Amsterdam. 10. Lazard Brothers of Paris. 11. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy. 12. JP Morgan. The Thirteenth Tribe is the Mother of all banks—The Bank for International Settlements based in Basel, Switzerland. (Reference: Ashahed M. Muhammad; “The Synagogue of Satan”).
The identities of those who truly own these Central Banks, is one of the world's best kept secrets. The United States Treasury Department and the United States Congress have no oversight or due diligence when it comes to the Federal Reserve, it functions with complete sovereignty and autonomy and even outside the executive branch of government, in fact the United States president and all the world presidents answers to this Unseen Hand.The Federal Reserve (also has a twin sister in Great Britain—the Bank of England) has unlimited powers to print, manufacture and disperse world currency—to the benefit or detriment of nations ability to purchase the Central Banks commodity, which is buying and selling money. The setting of interest rates and terms are completely left to their discretion.
Do you think William J. McDonough and Ben Bernanke blinked an eye when they came to the financial rescue of Morgan-Sachs Investment bank (Bear Stearns), a so-called private investment firm? This chessboard move should have been due cause for an outright revolt, the Federal Reserve Bank bails out a private investment banking firm. How much of this was taxpayers’ money?, not that it mattered because we have no say so, in the Federal Reserve decision making process. Did the United States Congress (the so-called elected voices of the people) or President George Bush have prior knowledge of this unprecedented chessboard move? What is the true relationship between Morgan-Sachs and the Central Bankers? (Reference: William Greider; “Secrets of the Temple: How the Federal Reserve Runs the Country”).
This writer has been trying to read Alan Greenspan’s book titled, "Alan Greenspan: The Age of Turbulence" since it was first published in 2007, because this writer was curious about what he had to say relative to his experience sitting at the helm of the Federal Reserve. Greenspan served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board from 1987 to 2006; moreover, this writer was shocked that after serving an eighteen year tenure over the Federal Reserve and writing a five hundred page treatise that he would have at least dedicated a chapter or two, to discussing and explaining the Central Banks and how they function. Greenspan barely touched on the subject.
This writer wonders, why?
This Unseen Hand and this powerful Money Cartel do not have to adhere to any private or governmental transparency. They make the rules and laws of all nations. This writer also was having a conversation with some Ivy League school MBA graduates and they too, were naive about the role of the Central Banks. This writer doesn’t believe that this topic is even covered as part of most business schools curriculums and it is very difficult for me to understand how post-graduate students can acquire and earn a Ph.D and/or MBA in business, economics, finance, etc., and have the slightest knowledge relative to the role of the Central Banks in our economy and the world governmental structure.
However, this is not to suggest that Greenspan is naive to the role and functions of the Central Banks relative to their power and control over every society. Perhaps Greenspan's silence is due in part, to an oath that he swore to uphold as a member of the Order, which reads something like this "I do hereby and hereon, solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, that I will keep and conceal, and never reveal, any of the secrets art or arts, part or parts, point or points, of the hidden mysteries of ancient Freemasonry. . . .Furthermore, I do promise and swear, that I will not write, indite, print, paint, stamp, stain, hew, cut, carve, mark or engrave the same upon anything, movable or immovable, whereby or whereon the least word, syllable, letter or character may become legible or intelligible to myself or another, whereby the secrets of Freemasonry may be obtained through my unworthiness." (Reference: Malcolm Duncan; “Duncan Rituals and Monitor of Freemasonry”).
This is the type of binding oath that Greenspan may be under, which he swore to protect the inner workings and the identities of the Unseen Hand—Dynastic Blood lineage Families and forever conceal the identities of the Central Bankers. This writer heard Presidential Republican nominees, Senator John McCain make what appeared on the surface to be an ignorant statement about his lack of knowledge and understanding of the United States economy. But it really does not matter, if he does or doesn't, because the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke and William J. McDonough (the present President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), Paul Volcker, etc., are the ones that run and dictate the United States economy. These money magicians have the power to create money out of thin air.
Dr. Malachi Z. York in his book titled, "This is the Number of the Beast: Leviathan: 666", Stated, "Before the American Revolution, certain banking houses have controlled world finance. Private bankers set the value of legal tender, the value of gold and interest rates. This is still true to day. Before the American Revolution, this was done by the Rothschilds. During the past 250 years, other private bankers such as the Rockefellers have combined with the Rothschilds to form a world-wide financial system that sets money value and regulates trade and industry of every nation in the world. They have the power to make or break a nation at will. That is why British and American Banks are found in Russia, China, the Arab world and anywhere else they've established their business to rob a country of its natural resources and money. (Reference: Malachi Z. York: "This is the Number of the Beast: Leviathan: 666”; pg. 323).
Alan Greenspan did give us a little mumble-jumble in his book “Alan Greenspan: The Age of Turbulence" he stated, "Central Banks have found ways to circumvent the gold standard rules. And after the Great Depression of the 1930s, the gold standard was effectively abandoned virtually worldwide. I have always harbored nostalgia for the gold standard's inherent price stability--a stable currency was its primary goal. But I've long since acquiesced in the fact that the gold standard does not readily accommodate the widely accepted current view of appropriate functions of government--in particular the need for government to provide a social safety net" (Reference: "Alan Greenspan: The Age of Turbulence" pg. 480-481).
Mr. Greenspan is not oblivious to fact that these Robber Barons robbed Fort Knox’s Kentucky along time ago and made the United States Monetary Reserve (Gold and Silver) apart of their personal treasures.There is not a decision made in the world that is not under the dictates and controlled by this Unseen Hand who has hijacked the money and governments of the planet. They are bent on wrecking the United States and it is comical to see and hear the presidential candidates McCain, Obama, and Clinton talking about restoring America back to its former glory, by whose permission?
Former President Bill Clinton, a Council on Foreign Relations and a Bilderberger agent was one of the low-level operatives who worked to establish the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) sending Fortune 500 companies southward to Mexico, and taking millions of US jobs with them. Bush and the former Mexican President Vicente Fox continued to cut deals after Clinton and now his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton with a hypocritical posture has styled herself as a friend of labor (she now speaks for rednecks and blue collar workers, give me a break) and the conman “slick Willie” continues to play the race card.Moreover, has labeled Senator Barack Obama as an "Elitist" (please give me another break, it is difficult for me to perceive a black American married to ex-slave as an Elitist); yet she and "slick Willie" have a net worth in the hundreds of millions of dollars and can get more from Henry Kissinger and the Rockefellers, if need be.
Will the real "Elitist" please stand-up? But those of us who truly understand neither the Clintons nor Obama fit the definition of an "Elitist", they are low-level operatives. The power behind the Central Banks is the real ELITIST. Did you know for many years the names of the Central Banks themselves were even a secret? Whenever in doubt, just follow the Rothschilds Family Money Trust and even though throughout world history in some cases the names may have been changed to shield and protect the guilty, but the game remained the same—stealing money.
The subprime lending fiasco in 2007 that so-called rocked the banking and finance industry and trickled down to us peasants in the realm of home foreclosures was a prime example of somebody CALLING THE DEBT IN. They have the ability to send the Unites States and for that matter the entire world into panic mode.
Jesus in the Bible in the book of John eight (8) chapter 31-44 verse stated,” Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, if you continue in my word, then you are my disciples indeed. They answered him, we be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth a sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. I know ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my words hath no place in you. I speak that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, we be not of fornication; we have one father, even unto God. Jesus said unto them, if God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do no ye understand my speech? even because you can not hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murder from the beginning , and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When speaketh of a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Jesus is saying some heavy stuff, this isn't Minister Louis Farrakhan talking or some hate-filled anti-Semite. Thus, this is Jesus of your Bible doing this talking. Someone has hijacked the monetary system. There is over a nine trillion dollar United States deficit and counting. Why don't the Federal Reserve come out and explain to the American people in layman's terms, who do we owe this massive debt to? This is choking the economic life out of the government and the suffering masses. The US currency has "In God, We Trust" and many ignorant religious people believe that this statement is referring to the Supreme Being, creator of the heavens and earth, as well as viewing the Nations founding fathers as being morally centered. They have no I idea that the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Warburgs, Morgans, etc., and all those who met on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia considered themselves gods over humanity.
The symbolism on the money, the dollar bill is letting you know that the ALL SEEN EYE OF HURU styled in Ancient Kemet (Egypt) and the unfinished pyramid is giving you clear signs that King David, the Father of King Solomon who the Freemasons relish according to Masonic allegory had an unfinished Temple; although this lesson is marveled over in the Blue Lodge Masonry (the first three degrees—Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason), the full realization of the unfinished Temple and the DEATH OF MASTER BUILDER HIRAM ABIFF and RECEIVING THE SO-CALLED “REAL WORD” HAPPENS IN YORK RITE AND ROYAL ARCH DEGREE MASONRY. The Central Banks have the “real word” and they not are willing to share (the secret to power—money and finance with Freemasonry or anyone else who is not a blood linage and a DYNASTIC FAMILY MEMBER). (Reference: Nesta H. Webster; “Secrets Societies and Subversive Movements).
Their bloodline descendents have become our masters and we are their slaves. It should read "In The Central Banks and their Invisible Rulers do We Trust". Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) during this 2008 presidential election campaign was talking about the Federal Reserve System, but very few were listening or heard him because the mass mediums both electronic and print had us fixated on the other low level operatives—Romney, Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain, Clinton, Obama, etc. They just drowned Dr. Paul out and since the same people who runs the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks owns corporate media; they determine and shape public opinion.
The Central Banks are the ones that forced George Bush and the United States Government to go to war with the defenseless nation of Iraq in 2003. War is always good for business and if it was not for the Afghanistan and the Iraq War, America would not just be facing an economic recession in 2008, it would be facing a serious economic depression perhaps far worst than the 1929 Great Depression.
This is why Bush continues to take a hard line position and will not give a timetable for withdrawal of US Troops because only the Central Banks and the Unseen Hand—Cartel can give him the ultimate approval to leave Iraq. These Money Changers now have their eyes set on Iran and believe it or not, war with Iran is inevitable. This writer can appreciate Senator Obama willingness to exercise talk diplomacy with Iran but he is a bit naïve, if he thinks being “elected’ president gives him any power and authority over these type decisions then he doesn’t understand the dynamics of power. If the Central Banks creates the condition for a military strike against Iran then the United States Commander-In-Chief must follow orders.
Lastly, I was watching CNN and Scott McClellan former White House Press Secretary giving his criticisms of President Bush; he has authored a book titled, “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception.” McClellan is now revealing hidden truths about the Bush administration relative to the Iraqi war, which he maintained was motivated by propaganda. A sign of the Fall of America is near when we start seeing them turning on each other, take my word for it the time is near.
Muhammad stated, “According to radio and television, and according to individual conversation—and according to conversations heard between government officials concerning their problem of trying to find a way to peace for their people—and way to find stoppage of the fall of their money market and unemployment—and stoppage to the revolutions between the dissatisfied and the dissatisfied—and to find a way to be able to eat—and to keep the hungry eating from his own labor—pacification is offered but it does not satisfy.” (Reference: Elijah Muhammad; “Fall of America” pg. 255).

THE CABAL: POWER CONCEDES NOTHING WITHOUT A DEMAND
“THE CABAL: POWER CONCEDES NOTHING WITHOUT A DEMAND”
By: Fahim A. Knight
The American people, in particular and the world in general, have no real idea that everything around them isn't what it appears. There has always been and old saying that states, “perception means everything and reality, means absolutely nothing.” Interpret to mean you have to just look good and not necessarily be of any substance. President George Bush just has to look and sound good, but in reality, all of his decisions and all of our decisions are under the dictates of some powerful hidden entitles. President George Bush appears to be one of the most powerful men in the world and yet he is under the dictates of the real and invisible decision makers. He was elevated in 2000 to the highest office in world because of a willingness to serve and carryout their well calculated agenda. Does he work for the House of Rothschild, the Carlyle Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Russell Group, and Bilderberger Group? (Reference: Texe Marrs: “Circle of Intrigue: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy”)
Dr. John Coleman in his book titled, “Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of the 300” stated, “It is the Committee of 300 which has established control networks and mechanisms far more binding than anything ever seen in this world. Chains and ropes are not needed to restrain us. Our fears of what is to come does that job far more efficiently than any physical means of restraint. We have been brainwashed to give up our Constitutional right to bear arms; to give up our Constitution itself; to allow the United Nations to exercise control over our foreign policies and the IMF to take control of our fiscal and monetary policies; to permit the President to break United States law with impunity and to invade a foreign country and kidnap its head of state. In short we have been brainwashed to the extent where we, as a nation, will accept each and every lawless act carried out by our government almost without question.” (Reference: Dr. John Coleman: “Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of the 300”).
How many people truly believe and know that there is an Elite Cabal of Emperors who function with autonym and world sovereignty, and are above the laws of all nations? This writer recently watched President Bush meet with King Abdullah, the Royal King of Saudi Arabia and they were so-called discussing Saudi Arabia’s possibilities of increasing Oil Production drilling (at least that is what they conveyed on camera) and what OPEC can do to so-called ease the Oil tension in the West. This writer said to himself, Wow! "How many people believe that OPEC can make that decision and fail to understand that OPEC is just a Front Organization for the Cabal and the Hidden Emperors?" The mass mediums sent their talking heads and spin doctors out to convince the American people, in particular and world people in general, that the Oil crisis is a matter of supply and demand. The last time this writer checked, the price of crude Oil, it had risen to over $130.00 USD per Barrel. Some of the ignorant would like to blame the Arabs—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, etc., for the Oil crisis and have no idea that someone more powerful and more sinister is guiding this so-called crisis. Some of would even prefer blaming Hugo Chavez the charismatic and idealist President of Venezuela for the United States Oil crises.
Andy Stern in his book titled, “Oil: From Rockefellers to Iraq and Beyond’ stated, “The freewheeling gold rush years in the US soon gave way to the all-devouring empire created by John D. Rockefeller, whose fortune was built on sharp business practices, corruption of government at the highest levels, and created of one of the most successful and enduring cartels the world has ever seen. Then as now in the US, government and Big Oil were closely interlinked. Rockefeller had agents all over the world, forming a semi-official a semi-official diplomatic structure that negotiated trade deals directly with national governments. Today, the links are even closer, with former oil executives occupying many of the top positions in the current US administration, and taking policy positions highly favourable to the industry in which they made their fortunes. As the thirst for oil, and the vast profits it offered, enticed companies beyond their national borders, British, French and US oil have sought to exploit oil resources overseas, and have not hesitated to corrupt or subvert governments, be they in Africa, Asia or Latin America, in order to gain control of these valuable assets.” (Reference: Andy Stern: “Oil: From Rockefellers to Iraq and Beyond’).
Thus, they had never heard of the Elite Dynastic Families, this inner secret Cabal that is so rich and powerful that they are hidden under many layers of deceptions. They have the ability to create international crisis—wars, economic recessions, political tension (instigating and supporting rivals on both sides), etc., for their benefits. The people have been reduced to mere pawns. This writer was having a discussion with some of the KEEPING IT REAL think tank members and the question came up, about Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, in particular, but here is the top 20 billionaires of the world listed by Forbes—Carlos Slim Helu, Lakshmi Mittal, Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Ingvar Kamprad, KP Singh, Oleg Deripaska, Karl Albrecht, Li Ka-shing, Sheldon Adelson, Bernard Arnault, Lawrence Ellison, Roman Abramovich, Theo Albrecht, Liliane Bettencourt, Alexei Mordashov, Prince Alwaleed, Mikhail Fridman, etc., being two of the most wealthiest and powerful men in the world. This writer started laughing because even some of them did not understand that these public billionaires were nothing but front men and gophers; they have no power, even with all the billions of dollars, they have accrued. Gates and Buffet, as well as all the others listed on the public billionaire list are agents for the secret Cabal.
The Oil crisis has nothing to do with supply and demand, but is being driven by greed and motivated by the lust of power. They have the ability dismiss and invite whom they please. Do you remember prior the 9/11 (September 11, 2001) hoax, the Nation of Libya and the Arab Jamahiriya was considered a "Rogue Nation" and part of what Bush called the “Axis of Evil”. Muammar al- Qaddafi in 1969 after overthrowing King Idris, became the champion of a Pan-Arabism, and Pan-Islamism causes, but more importantly he supported liberation struggles around the world. For example, in Sub-Sahara Africa, Central and South America (I can recall him embracing Daniel Ortega back in the 1980s, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Maurice Bishop of Grenada, Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso and supported African liberation struggles in various parts of Sub-Sahara Africa from West Africa too Cape Town . He also supported the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in Ireland, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) against Zionist occupation of Palestinian’s land and territories; Qaddafi even back in the 1980s gave Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, a five (5) million dollar interest free loan and was cozy with the Nation of Islam’s patriarch, Elijah Muhammad. Qaddafi was considered by America and Israeli propaganda machines as public enemy number one. (Reference: Noam Chomsky: “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance.”)
But after 9/11 hoax and the United States invasion of Iraq; thus, Qaddafi had seemed to soften his anti-American and anti-West political rhetoric and even submitted to an international compromise over the 1988 Lockerbie, Scotland incident, where as 270 people were killed in what was deemed as a terrorist act, which Libyan nationals were accused. Qaddafi began to gradually shake off the label of being an exponent in exporting terrorism around the world and even furthered soften his rhetoric against the West. He disbanded his aspirations of acquiring Nuclear Weapons capability as a North African Nation in order to set a military balance in the Middle East between the Muslims (Arabs) and the Israeli (Jews). The United States and the United Nations even lifted the trade embargoes and economic sanctions against Libya that were imposed almost three decades ago as a measure of rewarding Qadaffi for demonstrating good behavior. The seven OIL SISTERS—Exxon, Mobil, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Standard Oil, Texaco, Gulf (As of 2005, the surviving companies are ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP, now members of the "supermajors" group). and their hidden profiteers are the ones that determine the Oil Market and they have had their eyes have on Tripoli for over three decades. (Reference: William C. Chasey: “Pan AM 103: Lockerbie Cover Up”)
This writer grew to admire Muammar al- Qaddafi and was very much disappointed in his flip-flop positions and now has to question whether or no he was an agent provocateur for the Cabal all the while.
They do not give a damn about some Islamic Sheik in Saudi Arabia or some crooked rogue government in Nigeria or even the sovereignty of these nations means absolutely nothing to them. These Oil producing Nations and leaders have mortgage their people and nations, over to the Secret Cabal. Did Muammar Qaddafi, the self-proclaimed revolutionary who once had a vision to unite the nation of Libya and Egypt and advocated a United Federated States of Africa; he also chaired the Organization of African Unity (OAU), but carried out some reactionary politics in Chad and Niger; was he a pawn of the Cabal all the while? I must reference Allen and Larry Abraham's book titled, "None Dare Call it Conspiracy." They talked about how the Cabal applies pressure from the top and pressure from the bottom, which to create the political, economic and social conditions to ascertain the results they desire. Perhaps they have invited Qaddafi and the Nation of Libya to the table, which to partake in the economic crumbs.
However, Libya and Cuba had to find out the hard way and a difficult lesson because they had brought into NATO (representative of the United States and the West and WARSAW PACT nations representative of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc Nations), but in 1989 only to discover that there were no real antagonistic contradictions between Socialism and Capitalism; Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Regan were both low level operatives that was only carrying out their assignments. Soviet Union wasn't dismantled nor did it collapse.
It was reorganized and strategically set-up for the betterment of the international bankers—to access the Siberian Oil fields and using companies like LUKOIL—to grease the palms of the international bankers that sit on top of Moscow. The Cabal—the International Bankers who inspired and instigated 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and gave life to the concept of a Socialist Revolution; did it for their own political and economic interest. Moreover, by 1989, they had, had enough of Leninism, Marxism, Stalinism and this naive concept that the major means of production and distribution were owned and controlled by the State and that Communism benefited the masses of its people. Communism from its inception ultimately only benefited the Russian Elite and that small Hidden Minority that rule the world. (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy”)
William Cooper who authored one of the best treatise in helping us decode these conspiracies and exposed the agenda of the Cabal stated in his monumental book titled, “Behold A Pale Horse,” stated, “Many of them, however, disagree on exactly who will rule this New World Order, and that is what causes them to sometimes pull in opposite directions while nevertheless proceeding toward the same goal. The Vatican, for instance, wants the Pope to head the world coalition. Some want Lord Maitreya to head the New World Order. Lord Maitreya is the front runner, I believe, since witnesses say he was present on the ship at Malta with Bush and Gorbachev, and the ten regional heads of the New World Order. ‘Approximately 200 dignitaries from around the world attended a major conference initiated by Maitreya in London on April 21 and 22, 1990. Representatives of governments (including the USA) members of royal families, religious leaders. . .” (Reference: William Cooper: “Behold A Pale Horse.”
The Oil crisis is an artificial crisis—The United States and the West consumes over 70 percent of this vital commodity (the West is truly an Oil Junkie) and the international bankers and the market wizards will continue to feed them, as much as they desire to consume, at an escalated and inflated financial rate. Bush who is a masterful conman has even suggested that the Oil Crisis should be blamed in part, on the American people, because the conservation advocates and the naturalist, have put up such political opposition to Oil drilling in Alaska and not allowing Bush Government to possible destroying the sanctity of this virgin wilderness, but most of us know that Halliburton and energy tycoon, Vice President Dick Chaney is licking his chops along with Bush because the Cabal will handsomely reward them if Alaska, the last Oil Reserves in the United States is open up for drilling, as well as, for economic and mineral exploitation.
The international bankers and the Cabal always manage to get what they want. The rising fuel cost on the consumer level, is designed to create that pressure from the top and pressure from the bottom in order to foster a condition where as the masses of the people will be propelled to believe and accept that giving Bush the authority to drill for Oil in Alaska will somehow alleviate the immediate Oil crisis in the United States. No, it will only further enrich the Cabal and the international bankers to the detriment of the suffering masses.
The United States in 1991 colonized Kuwait (although up until 1947 Kuwait was a part of Iraq, but British instigation led to Kuwait succeeding from Iraq and from that perspective Saddam Hussein was absolutely correct) and March 20, 2003 Bush and the United States Government began their efforts to colonize Iraq, the second largest Oil Reserve in the world and when these reactionaries forces went into Iraq, the international cost for a barrel of Iraqi Crude Oil was $ 29.00 USD per barrel and it now stands at $130.00 USD per barrel just five years later. The bloodsuckers of the poor keep human resistance at a minimum by selling the masses and nations, unbearable debt, which consumes them and dim resistance. The Cabal set-up the European Common Market and Euro currency, which to destabilize Western European Nation's sovereignty and to compromise nationalism, all for their benefit. The one currency concept had been in the making for a very long time; just as The United States, Canada, and Mexico and perhaps all points south, will eventually convert their money over to a new money currency called Amero. This will only further empower the Rothschild’s, Rockefellers, Oppenheimers, Morgans in their enslavement over humanity.
In the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” Protocol number 24 stated, “I pass now to the method of confirming Dynastic Roots King David to the last strata of the earth. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that in which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by our Learned Elders of the conduct of all the affairs of the world, in directing of the education of thought of all of humanity. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the secret places of its arts.” (Reference: “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”).
Did you know that in 1967 a one world government system was organized in Geneva, Switzerland by a United Nations meeting? and on that date, they decided to dissolve the United Nations to make room for a One World Government. The One World Government will seize all possessions, savings and personal bank deposits. Every man, woman and child will receive a certain amount of money and a number from the One World Government system. The One World Government currency is already printed and ready to be put in circulation. Every dollar will be traded. You will in the near future receive one dollar for every ten dollars; the banker will handle what money you get, eventually we will not be handling any money. At that same United Nations meeting they stated that you would receive a number from the One World Government. In March of 1974, it was stated by the European economic market that they needed a leader. They initially suggested Henry Kissinger as leader of the New World Order.
Carroll Quigley in his monumental book titled, “Tragedy and Hope”, stated, “I know the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies. . .but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known.”
The majority of the American people and the people of the world do not understand that there is no such thing as democracy—one man, one vote, this is only an illusion designed to give the impression and to pacify the ignorant masses into believing that they matter in the political systems of the world and it is just to the contrary. The Cabal will never leave picking their high power servants and operatives up to a ballot box and at the political discretion of an electoral process. Voting is only a matter of going through the motions and placating the ignorant masses, but the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberger they are the real POWER BROKERS, it is their job to selected the next United States president and your vote, popular vote count, delegates, superdelegates, etc., do not factor into their decision; thus, regardless of the outcomes that will take place at the Democrat and Republican National Conventions. Many of you will not believe that the next United States president has already been selected and decided upon and he is prepared to serve; although the general election is slated for November 2008 and you have yet to cast your ballots. (Reference: David Icke: “The Biggest Secret”).
It does not matter whether the presidential candidate is John McCain, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton; they have not ascended up the political latter on their own recognizance. They are fully aware who they owe their allegiance and it is not to the American people. Some will try to dismiss my research as mere conspiracy theories and fail to grasp that fact that these are dangerous times which we live. The next United States president has already been given a play book, script and agenda, which is not up for negotiation or deviation; for execution only. United States domestic and Foreign Policy agenda is already set for next eight (8) years and for that matter, the political agenda for the entire world has also been set. Senator McCain has made it crystal clear that if he had to, he would commit United States troops to Iraq for next 100 years; either this is a backwards decision or is McCain given us a hint of what to expect from U.S. Foreign policy the next eight years—this sounds like business as usual, and as an extension of George Bush's cowboy and wild, wild west reactionary Foreign Policy agenda.
William Cooper, “Behold A Pale Horse” goes on to state, “It is important that you know that the members of the Order take and oath that absolves them from any allegiance to a any nation or king or government or constitution, and that includes the negating of any subsequent oath of allegiance which they may be required to take. They swear allegiance only to the Order and its goal of a New World Order. George Bush is not a loyal citizen of the United States but instead is loyal only to the destruction of the United States and to the formation of the New World Order. According to the oath Bush took when he was initiated into the Skull & Bones, his oath of office as President of the United States of America means nothing.”
The Hidden Emperors have their sights on Oil and every nation and their people are considered expendable in lieu of profits, greed and accumulation of wealth. How much money is enough? The United States war machines continues to murder thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens in name of Oil diplomacy. They have raked up these immoral and unethical tragedies in Iraq, as the price of doing business. These are criminal acts, but who can make war with the beast other than God himself. The Hidden Emperors have Muslims fighting and debating over artificial labels and concepts—Sunni versus Shia instigating and creating sectarian tension and violence and then removing their filthy hand as though they are innocent.
But their motive is stealing Oil and they are trying to set the stage to attack and invade Iran by demonizing President Mahmoud Ahmadjindine, which to justify going into Iran an stealing more Oil. The next United States President will have his marching orders and do not be surprised if U.S. Foreign policy does not lead them right into Tehran, but what can not be overlooked, is that the Israelis (Zionist Jews) influence that is driving the United States into deep international isolation, specifically in the so-called Middle East. You can not have a one-sided debate and conversation relative to the Palestinians (Arabs) and the Israelis (Jews) over the question of land rights and sovereignty. Both sides must-be held equally accountable, if you are serious about one day achieving a peaceful resolution and compromise in Palestine. Bush and the United States Government is quick to condemn and repudiate Hamas and Hezbollah for so-called using Lebanon as a terrorist haven and yet did not criticize the Israelis unprovoked attacked against Lebanon in 2006. The United States Foreign Policy in the Middle East can not be based on double standards. (Reference: Obadiah Shoher: “Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East”).
The world continues to be duped and misled by an evil Cabal who has wrapped its tentacles around the whole of humanity and controls every facet of our lives; they use their most powerful tool—the media, both electronic and print, to lure us to sleep and most of all make their thoughts our thoughts. They work out of various fronts such as the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger, etc., but is by no stretch of the imagination limited to these three powerful organizations. They intertwine with Freemasonry (I mean high degree Masonry and I am not referring to those who are initiated in 33rd degree; there is a Dynastic Freemasonic brotherhood—that evolves around blood lineage and wealth, which this Order is not open to rank and file Freemasons). The Cabal is the one pulling the purse strings on the Oil crisis and they are motivated by greed and power. President Bush is a loyal pawn and is only following the orders given to him by this INVISIBLE CABAL. John McCain, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all have swore loyalty to continue the AGENDA.

STAY AWAKE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
Fahim A. Knight
By: Fahim A. Knight
The American people, in particular and the world in general, have no real idea that everything around them isn't what it appears. There has always been and old saying that states, “perception means everything and reality, means absolutely nothing.” Interpret to mean you have to just look good and not necessarily be of any substance. President George Bush just has to look and sound good, but in reality, all of his decisions and all of our decisions are under the dictates of some powerful hidden entitles. President George Bush appears to be one of the most powerful men in the world and yet he is under the dictates of the real and invisible decision makers. He was elevated in 2000 to the highest office in world because of a willingness to serve and carryout their well calculated agenda. Does he work for the House of Rothschild, the Carlyle Group, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Russell Group, and Bilderberger Group? (Reference: Texe Marrs: “Circle of Intrigue: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy”)
Dr. John Coleman in his book titled, “Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of the 300” stated, “It is the Committee of 300 which has established control networks and mechanisms far more binding than anything ever seen in this world. Chains and ropes are not needed to restrain us. Our fears of what is to come does that job far more efficiently than any physical means of restraint. We have been brainwashed to give up our Constitutional right to bear arms; to give up our Constitution itself; to allow the United Nations to exercise control over our foreign policies and the IMF to take control of our fiscal and monetary policies; to permit the President to break United States law with impunity and to invade a foreign country and kidnap its head of state. In short we have been brainwashed to the extent where we, as a nation, will accept each and every lawless act carried out by our government almost without question.” (Reference: Dr. John Coleman: “Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of the 300”).
How many people truly believe and know that there is an Elite Cabal of Emperors who function with autonym and world sovereignty, and are above the laws of all nations? This writer recently watched President Bush meet with King Abdullah, the Royal King of Saudi Arabia and they were so-called discussing Saudi Arabia’s possibilities of increasing Oil Production drilling (at least that is what they conveyed on camera) and what OPEC can do to so-called ease the Oil tension in the West. This writer said to himself, Wow! "How many people believe that OPEC can make that decision and fail to understand that OPEC is just a Front Organization for the Cabal and the Hidden Emperors?" The mass mediums sent their talking heads and spin doctors out to convince the American people, in particular and world people in general, that the Oil crisis is a matter of supply and demand. The last time this writer checked, the price of crude Oil, it had risen to over $130.00 USD per Barrel. Some of the ignorant would like to blame the Arabs—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, etc., for the Oil crisis and have no idea that someone more powerful and more sinister is guiding this so-called crisis. Some of would even prefer blaming Hugo Chavez the charismatic and idealist President of Venezuela for the United States Oil crises.
Andy Stern in his book titled, “Oil: From Rockefellers to Iraq and Beyond’ stated, “The freewheeling gold rush years in the US soon gave way to the all-devouring empire created by John D. Rockefeller, whose fortune was built on sharp business practices, corruption of government at the highest levels, and created of one of the most successful and enduring cartels the world has ever seen. Then as now in the US, government and Big Oil were closely interlinked. Rockefeller had agents all over the world, forming a semi-official a semi-official diplomatic structure that negotiated trade deals directly with national governments. Today, the links are even closer, with former oil executives occupying many of the top positions in the current US administration, and taking policy positions highly favourable to the industry in which they made their fortunes. As the thirst for oil, and the vast profits it offered, enticed companies beyond their national borders, British, French and US oil have sought to exploit oil resources overseas, and have not hesitated to corrupt or subvert governments, be they in Africa, Asia or Latin America, in order to gain control of these valuable assets.” (Reference: Andy Stern: “Oil: From Rockefellers to Iraq and Beyond’).
Thus, they had never heard of the Elite Dynastic Families, this inner secret Cabal that is so rich and powerful that they are hidden under many layers of deceptions. They have the ability to create international crisis—wars, economic recessions, political tension (instigating and supporting rivals on both sides), etc., for their benefits. The people have been reduced to mere pawns. This writer was having a discussion with some of the KEEPING IT REAL think tank members and the question came up, about Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, in particular, but here is the top 20 billionaires of the world listed by Forbes—Carlos Slim Helu, Lakshmi Mittal, Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Ingvar Kamprad, KP Singh, Oleg Deripaska, Karl Albrecht, Li Ka-shing, Sheldon Adelson, Bernard Arnault, Lawrence Ellison, Roman Abramovich, Theo Albrecht, Liliane Bettencourt, Alexei Mordashov, Prince Alwaleed, Mikhail Fridman, etc., being two of the most wealthiest and powerful men in the world. This writer started laughing because even some of them did not understand that these public billionaires were nothing but front men and gophers; they have no power, even with all the billions of dollars, they have accrued. Gates and Buffet, as well as all the others listed on the public billionaire list are agents for the secret Cabal.
The Oil crisis has nothing to do with supply and demand, but is being driven by greed and motivated by the lust of power. They have the ability dismiss and invite whom they please. Do you remember prior the 9/11 (September 11, 2001) hoax, the Nation of Libya and the Arab Jamahiriya was considered a "Rogue Nation" and part of what Bush called the “Axis of Evil”. Muammar al- Qaddafi in 1969 after overthrowing King Idris, became the champion of a Pan-Arabism, and Pan-Islamism causes, but more importantly he supported liberation struggles around the world. For example, in Sub-Sahara Africa, Central and South America (I can recall him embracing Daniel Ortega back in the 1980s, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Maurice Bishop of Grenada, Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso and supported African liberation struggles in various parts of Sub-Sahara Africa from West Africa too Cape Town . He also supported the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in Ireland, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) against Zionist occupation of Palestinian’s land and territories; Qaddafi even back in the 1980s gave Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, a five (5) million dollar interest free loan and was cozy with the Nation of Islam’s patriarch, Elijah Muhammad. Qaddafi was considered by America and Israeli propaganda machines as public enemy number one. (Reference: Noam Chomsky: “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance.”)
But after 9/11 hoax and the United States invasion of Iraq; thus, Qaddafi had seemed to soften his anti-American and anti-West political rhetoric and even submitted to an international compromise over the 1988 Lockerbie, Scotland incident, where as 270 people were killed in what was deemed as a terrorist act, which Libyan nationals were accused. Qaddafi began to gradually shake off the label of being an exponent in exporting terrorism around the world and even furthered soften his rhetoric against the West. He disbanded his aspirations of acquiring Nuclear Weapons capability as a North African Nation in order to set a military balance in the Middle East between the Muslims (Arabs) and the Israeli (Jews). The United States and the United Nations even lifted the trade embargoes and economic sanctions against Libya that were imposed almost three decades ago as a measure of rewarding Qadaffi for demonstrating good behavior. The seven OIL SISTERS—Exxon, Mobil, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Standard Oil, Texaco, Gulf (As of 2005, the surviving companies are ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP, now members of the "supermajors" group). and their hidden profiteers are the ones that determine the Oil Market and they have had their eyes have on Tripoli for over three decades. (Reference: William C. Chasey: “Pan AM 103: Lockerbie Cover Up”)
This writer grew to admire Muammar al- Qaddafi and was very much disappointed in his flip-flop positions and now has to question whether or no he was an agent provocateur for the Cabal all the while.
They do not give a damn about some Islamic Sheik in Saudi Arabia or some crooked rogue government in Nigeria or even the sovereignty of these nations means absolutely nothing to them. These Oil producing Nations and leaders have mortgage their people and nations, over to the Secret Cabal. Did Muammar Qaddafi, the self-proclaimed revolutionary who once had a vision to unite the nation of Libya and Egypt and advocated a United Federated States of Africa; he also chaired the Organization of African Unity (OAU), but carried out some reactionary politics in Chad and Niger; was he a pawn of the Cabal all the while? I must reference Allen and Larry Abraham's book titled, "None Dare Call it Conspiracy." They talked about how the Cabal applies pressure from the top and pressure from the bottom, which to create the political, economic and social conditions to ascertain the results they desire. Perhaps they have invited Qaddafi and the Nation of Libya to the table, which to partake in the economic crumbs.
However, Libya and Cuba had to find out the hard way and a difficult lesson because they had brought into NATO (representative of the United States and the West and WARSAW PACT nations representative of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc Nations), but in 1989 only to discover that there were no real antagonistic contradictions between Socialism and Capitalism; Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Regan were both low level operatives that was only carrying out their assignments. Soviet Union wasn't dismantled nor did it collapse.
It was reorganized and strategically set-up for the betterment of the international bankers—to access the Siberian Oil fields and using companies like LUKOIL—to grease the palms of the international bankers that sit on top of Moscow. The Cabal—the International Bankers who inspired and instigated 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and gave life to the concept of a Socialist Revolution; did it for their own political and economic interest. Moreover, by 1989, they had, had enough of Leninism, Marxism, Stalinism and this naive concept that the major means of production and distribution were owned and controlled by the State and that Communism benefited the masses of its people. Communism from its inception ultimately only benefited the Russian Elite and that small Hidden Minority that rule the world. (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy”)
William Cooper who authored one of the best treatise in helping us decode these conspiracies and exposed the agenda of the Cabal stated in his monumental book titled, “Behold A Pale Horse,” stated, “Many of them, however, disagree on exactly who will rule this New World Order, and that is what causes them to sometimes pull in opposite directions while nevertheless proceeding toward the same goal. The Vatican, for instance, wants the Pope to head the world coalition. Some want Lord Maitreya to head the New World Order. Lord Maitreya is the front runner, I believe, since witnesses say he was present on the ship at Malta with Bush and Gorbachev, and the ten regional heads of the New World Order. ‘Approximately 200 dignitaries from around the world attended a major conference initiated by Maitreya in London on April 21 and 22, 1990. Representatives of governments (including the USA) members of royal families, religious leaders. . .” (Reference: William Cooper: “Behold A Pale Horse.”
The Oil crisis is an artificial crisis—The United States and the West consumes over 70 percent of this vital commodity (the West is truly an Oil Junkie) and the international bankers and the market wizards will continue to feed them, as much as they desire to consume, at an escalated and inflated financial rate. Bush who is a masterful conman has even suggested that the Oil Crisis should be blamed in part, on the American people, because the conservation advocates and the naturalist, have put up such political opposition to Oil drilling in Alaska and not allowing Bush Government to possible destroying the sanctity of this virgin wilderness, but most of us know that Halliburton and energy tycoon, Vice President Dick Chaney is licking his chops along with Bush because the Cabal will handsomely reward them if Alaska, the last Oil Reserves in the United States is open up for drilling, as well as, for economic and mineral exploitation.
The international bankers and the Cabal always manage to get what they want. The rising fuel cost on the consumer level, is designed to create that pressure from the top and pressure from the bottom in order to foster a condition where as the masses of the people will be propelled to believe and accept that giving Bush the authority to drill for Oil in Alaska will somehow alleviate the immediate Oil crisis in the United States. No, it will only further enrich the Cabal and the international bankers to the detriment of the suffering masses.
The United States in 1991 colonized Kuwait (although up until 1947 Kuwait was a part of Iraq, but British instigation led to Kuwait succeeding from Iraq and from that perspective Saddam Hussein was absolutely correct) and March 20, 2003 Bush and the United States Government began their efforts to colonize Iraq, the second largest Oil Reserve in the world and when these reactionaries forces went into Iraq, the international cost for a barrel of Iraqi Crude Oil was $ 29.00 USD per barrel and it now stands at $130.00 USD per barrel just five years later. The bloodsuckers of the poor keep human resistance at a minimum by selling the masses and nations, unbearable debt, which consumes them and dim resistance. The Cabal set-up the European Common Market and Euro currency, which to destabilize Western European Nation's sovereignty and to compromise nationalism, all for their benefit. The one currency concept had been in the making for a very long time; just as The United States, Canada, and Mexico and perhaps all points south, will eventually convert their money over to a new money currency called Amero. This will only further empower the Rothschild’s, Rockefellers, Oppenheimers, Morgans in their enslavement over humanity.
In the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” Protocol number 24 stated, “I pass now to the method of confirming Dynastic Roots King David to the last strata of the earth. This confirmation will first and foremost be included in that in which to this day has rested the force of conservatism by our Learned Elders of the conduct of all the affairs of the world, in directing of the education of thought of all of humanity. Certain members of the seed of David will prepare the kings and their heirs, selecting not by right of heritage but by eminent capacities, inducting them into the most secret mysteries of the political, into schemes of government, but providing always that none may come to knowledge of the secrets. The object of this mode of action is that all may know that government cannot be entrusted to those who have not been inducted into the secret places of its arts.” (Reference: “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”).
Did you know that in 1967 a one world government system was organized in Geneva, Switzerland by a United Nations meeting? and on that date, they decided to dissolve the United Nations to make room for a One World Government.

EGYPT (KEMET):THE DNA SCIENCE, HISTORY AND RACISM REVEALED
“EGYPT (KEMET):THE DNA SCIENCE, HISTORY AND RACISM REVEALED”
By FAHIM A. KNIGHT
There are two website named HALL OF MAAT; WEIGHING THE EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVE HISTORY and the GRAHAM HANCOCK website, both seemed to have dedicated part of their discussion forums to the intellectual and scientific research of Kemet (Egypt) and while blogging on the TDG (The Daily Grail) site this writer discovered on the sidebar of the site there was an icon referencing these two above said Internet forums. Thus, this was in late December 2007, I had just web/blog published an article titled, “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth,” which this controversial subject and topic, had its pundits and apologist debating the article on various Internet websites. One of the above listed forums allowed me to submit the article, but the article was immediately removed—I contacted the webmaster who informed me that it was a matter of a technical glitch and he assured me that article would be reposted. Thus, if my memory serves me correctly, the webmaster was celebrating his birthday in December and was at a social outing, commemorating this occasion with his family and friends, when this writer emailed him. He emailed me back and stated after the outing he would investigate this matter and repost the article. I do not know if the article was ever re-posted. (Reference: Fahim A. Knight; “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth”).
Cheik Anta Diop in his book titled, “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality” stated, “Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilization. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in air and can not be written correctly until African historians dare to connect it with the history of Egypt. In particular, the study of languages, institutions, and so forth, can not be treated properly; in a word, it will be impossible to build African humanities, a body African human sciences, so long as the relationship does not appear legitimate. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective, nor unruffled; he is ignorant, cowardly, and neurotic. Imagine, if you can, the uncomfortable position of a western historian who was to write the history of Europe without referring to Greco-Latin Antiquity and try that off as a scientific approach.” (Reference: Cheik Anta Diop; “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality”).
But what struck me about the Hall of Maat and Graham Hancock sites were that they had a body of scholars, scientist, social scientist, laypersons, etc., dedicated to investigating the history, culture and genealogy of ancient Egypt (Kemet). These scholars and researchers seemed to have one common thread relative to ancient Egypt (Kemet), which was disproving that this North East African nation was African (black) in genotypical’ and ‘phenotypical’ terms. There appears to be an academic-led movement, amongst some Caucasian scholars in the United States and Europe, to use a new wave of technology and science which to reevaluate and re-access the genealogy of those who inhabited ancient Egypt (Kemet) by using the availability of DNA testing. (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Man, God, and Civilization”).
This will allow a field of pure science to be the guiding force of re-determining past historical evidence which was once guided mainly by social science that allowed history as a discipline to interact in an interdependency manner with anthropology, archaeology, paleontology, sociology, etc., to validate past events. But according to this new wave of historical research methodology, scholars and scientist argue that it will allow for so-called more reliable objective research findings and provide us with definitive and substantiated evidence in order to tell us more about the original inhabitants of Ancient Egypt (Kemet), which was the original name of Egypt prior to the Greeks, Arabs, British, Assyrians, Turks, and the European invaders occupying and colonizing this North African nation. (Reference: Molefi Kete Asante; “Afrocentricity”).
Wikipedia online research source had this to say about DNA testing concerning Egypt (Kemet), it stated, “Blood typing and DNA sampling on ancient Egyptian mummies is scant; however, blood typing of dynastic mummies found ABO frequencies to be most similar to modern Egyptians and some also to Northern Haratin (Mauritania and Western Sahara—Black Moors) populations. ABO blood group distribution shows that the Egyptians form a sister group to North African populations, including Berbers, Nubians and Canary Islanders. DNA extraction (namely from the 12th dynasty) indicates multiple lines of descent, including sub-Saharan Africa, while the other lineages were not identified, but may be African in origin as well (according to Keita, 1996)”
Some of the most glorious and dynamic history evolved out of Egypt and many alien people and cultures have worked diligently to claim this nation, that has enlighten humanity in the realm of civilization falsely as their own. The historians have attributed the disciplines of architecture, physics, engineering, mathematics, medicine, religion, art, music, science, etc., all originated in ancient Egypt (Kemet) and no doubt this truth is indisputable. This writer, believes that most scholars will not be resistant to any new form of science that will lead us to a higher historical confirmation and evidentiary of scholarly proof in undertaking the ancient people who lived in Egypt, Africa. This writer desires to believe that both scholars and laypersons alike, perhaps could appreciate and somewhat be receptive to this ground breaking efforts of DNA research being applied to re-examining history and Egyptology. However, this writer after thoroughly reviewing Graham Hancock and Hall of Maat websites and the writings of the scholars who submitted articles for posting; He was not left convinced that it was the truth that these scholarly pioneers were pursuing. (Reference: Gerald Massey; “Ancient Egypt the Light of the World”).
This writer can not help, but to question the motive and integrity of these social scientist who are pushing this effort of pure science (DNA testing) as the ultimate determining factor, which to be used to reevaluate ancient Egypt (Kemet) in order to provide us with more definitive and factual information about the race and ethnicity of the pyramid builders. But is there an unspoken, covert and clandestine agenda other than being able to access and use present day technology to enhance the definitiveness of perceived past historical facts. This writer agrees that scientist, social scientist and scholars should be able to use all the available technology at their disposable in order to bring us closer to the genetic truth of the original Egyptians (Kemites). However, perhaps those who are pursing this new historical and scientific investigation type scholarship, which to definitively determine the race and ethnicity of the ancient people who lived in Egypt (Kemet) is bit in genuine and is looking to demystify the notion that these people were of a Negroid strain. (Reference: Cheik Anta Diop; “Civilization Or Barbarism: An Authentic Anthropology”).
This writer believes that the Afrocentric movement in a America had made serious inroads in the areas of promoting historical pluralism and multiculturalism and as a intellectual school of thought and it was they that had to be challenged by those who desired to maintain the status quo. This concept allowed African American scholars and black academicians such as Molefi Asante, John G. Jackson, Cheik Anta Diop, Chancellor Williams, IvanVan Sertima, Amos Wilson, Asa Hilliard, Kobi K. K. Kambon, John Henrik Clarke, Leonard Jefferies, Yosef Ben Jochannon, Frances Cress Welsing, Ishakamus Barashango, Naim Akbar, etc., to redefine history and view Africa as a subject rather than an object, as well as questioning the Eurocentric worldview. (Reference: Ameen Yasir Mohammed “Afrocentricity, Minus Al-Islam, Cheats: Exposing The Conspiracy to Rob African Americans of their Most Precious Heritage”).
Runoko Rashidi stated, “In the intense and unrelenting struggle to establish scientifically the African foundations of Egyptian civilization, the late Senegalese scholar Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop remains a most fierce and ardent champion. Dr. Diop (1923-1986) was without a doubt the world's leading Egyptologist and held the position of Director of the Radiocarbon Laboratory at the Fundamental Institute of Black Africa in Dakar, Senegal. In stating the importance of the work, Diop noted emphatically and early on that, the history of Black Africa will remain suspended in air and cannot be written correctly until African historians dare to connect it with the history of Egypt."
Rashidi goes on to state, “The solid range of methodologies employed by Dr. Diop in the course of his extensive Afro-Egyptian labors included: examinations of the epidermis of the mummies of Egyptian kings for verification of their melanin content; precise osteological measurements and meticulous studies in the various relevant areas of anatomy and physical anthropology; careful examinations and comparisons of modern Upper Egyptian and West African blood-types; detailed Afro-Egyptian linguistic studies and the corroboration of distinct Afro-Egyptian cultural traits; documents of racial designations employed by the early Africans themselves; Biblical testimonies and references that address the ancient Egyptian's ethnicity, race and culture; and the writings of early Greek and Roman travelers and scholars describing the physical characteristics of the ancient Egyptians.”
The advocators of DNA testing and the question of racial determination really have some serious house cleaning to do relative to racial identification and classification standards that were previously established in the United States (more prevalent during the Jim Crow Era 1896-1954)—The 1/8 rule was a standard racial assessment that the white status quo used to determine who would be classified as being black and white, was based on the variable of a person having 1/8 percent of African blood flowing through their veins (this was enough evidence to consider a person black). This writer does not think the 1/8 RULE has ever been appealed and rescinded by the United States Government and the scholars who used it to create HIS—STORY. This flawed classification of race designation be it defacto/dejure practice has never been officially recognized as being wrong and immoral; moreover, THE 1/8 RULE CLASSIFICATION MUST BE DEEMED RACIST and faulty and most of all unscientific. (Reference: Floyd B McKissick; “Three-fifths of a Man’)
Thus, these racist past and present, owe an apology to all of those that were adversely affected and denied Freedom, Justice and Equality because of the 1/8 Rule and this writer is old enough too have heard about this. We shall perhaps never know the total implications and the affect of this unjust racial classification system, had socially, politically and economically on people living in the United States, in particular and the world in general. This writer in reality, could end this topic of ancient Egypt (Kemet) by simple stating that there is little doubt that the original Egyptians (just based on physical appearance) had greater than 1/8 percentage Nubian African-black blood flowing thru their veins—end of discussion and this is not to discount the fact that there were other racial-ethnic miscegenation evidence pointing to a mix race—ancient Egyptian population. (Reference: Sterling Means: “Ethiopia & The Missing Link”).
This intellectual movement is quite bothersome to this writer, because it appears to be another sophisticated stratagem to once again relegate blacks to an inferior role and reposition Africa, in particular sub-Sahara Africa as the dark continent (gave nothing to civilization). No different than how past historians help set the stage for Africa to be raped and robbed by alien peoples and it justified slavery and the Transatlantic slave trade because of this “Dark Continent” myth; Yet, are these scholars hiding behind the newest and latest DNA historical technology, but their primary motivation is racism and the secondary motive is it more of a white supremacy smokescreen hidden under the guise of improving on ancient Egypt’s ethno-racial scholarship by heighten the evidentiary proof relative to getting closer to the truth, as it pertains to race, ethnicity and genealogy of the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians were intellectual genius possessing the ability to erect the greatest structures ever built by man—the pyramids. These temples may have housed the dead or were the Egyptians teaching us something much more profound about immortality of the soul. These wonders of the world have baffled both social scientist and pure scientist alike for centuries. (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Introduction to African Civilizations and Walter Rodney: “How Europe Underdeveloped Africa’).
The geopolitical and ethno-racial identification and classification of ancient Egypt (Kemet) was thought to be originally inhabited by Nubian blacks. Thus, these new CSI type historians and scientist desire to use DNA testing to determine proof positive the racial identification of the ancient Egyptians. Popular thought and racial classification/identification had systematically categorized the human race in four distinct racial groupings—Negroid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid and, Australoid (this racial classification might-be somewhat outdated, but it set the racial classification standard) in which skeletal physicality were the definitive variable for racial indexing. For example, cranium structure, hair texture, jawbone structure—lips , nose, etc., were used to determine, which peoples, lands, and cultures would be designated and placed in the said four racial groupings.(Reference: Ivanvan Sertima; “The African Presence In Early Asia”).
Wikipedia the on-line free encyclopedia stated, “Studies performed to determine the population characteristics of ancient Egyptians have used various methods including examining craniometric pattern and variation of skeletal remains. A 2007 study which examined craniometric variation among ancient Egyptians of the predynastic and early dynastic periods found high levels of diversity but concluded that the formation of the Egyptian state was predominantly indigenous in development, with some, but limited migration from elsewhere. A craniofacial study by C. Loring Brace et al. concluded that; "The Predynastic of Upper Egypt and the Late Dynastic of Lower Egypt are more closely related to each other than to any other population" and that they show ties with North African, Somalian, European, Nubian and, more remotely, Indian populations, but not with Sub-Saharan Africans or populations from other continents. Anthropologist Shomarka Keita and geneticist Rick Kittles have criticized this study because of what they describe as "a socially constructed typological paradigm" in which Sub-Saharan Africans are treated as a monolithic, and biological African groups such as Nubians, Somalians and Egyptians are viewed essentially as non-African for having a craniometic pattern more similar to that of non-African populations.”
But from this unscientific, but agreed racial identification, a system of anthropology, archeology, and sociology were formed and began to validate the history, culture and civilization of past peoples and nations. What has always alarmed me, as a social scientist were certain geographical regions in Africa, in particular North East Africa (Egypt, Palestine, Ethiopia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Somalia) were classified as Caucasoid; although many of these people were very dark skinned (black). But this racial and ethnic contradiction was strategically established by Great Britain, United States, France, Germany, Spain, etc., who desired to create a Eurocentric racial-ethno worldview, which to show forth superior racial kinship with a people and culture that has stood head and shoulders above other societies in the realm of civilization. Perhaps China is the only other society with an equal historical civilization in longevity and cultural advancement compliable to Egypt (Kemet). (Reference: Drusilla Dunjee Houston;” The Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire”).
This writer has personally met North Africans and East Africans that were dark skinned and by United States racial taxonomy they would be considered on the surface black and African. Nevertheless, by western racial-ethnic classifications—they would be deemed white. The Arabs and the people that occupy Egypt (Kemet) today are not the biological or even ethno-kindred to the original inhabitants that lived and occupied ancient Egypt (Kemet) 10,000 years ago, they are a Johnnie-come-lately race. For example, the former Egyptian President Muhammad Anwar Sadat by United States racial standards would have been considered black. The present Saudi Kingdom Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud would be considered black, both of them are from North East Africa. (Reference: Chancellor Williams; “Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 BC to 2000 AD)
This writer does not accept the geo-political lines drawn which separates the so-called "Middle East" from the African continent; divided by the man made Suez Canal which serves as an artificial line of demarcation. Perhaps these scientists have no ulterior motives for pushing DNA analysis testing as the latest measuring instrument in the field of Egyptology; this writer doubt this contention because it has the words politically inspired written all over this movement. Or is it just another racist attempt to culturally denigrate blacks in the scheme of civilization and to once again propel themselves to superior status? Ancient Egypt (Kemet) has to be touted the EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD and there is an intellectual war of ideas going on and I am quite sure there are a slew of scholars who are apologist and pundits in this DNA debate relative to Egypt (Kemet). (Reference: Bruce Bridges “Recapturing the African Mind).
These reactionary Egyptologist and DNA proponents have carried Professor Mary Lefkowitz, the author of “Not Out of Africa” argument to another level. Lefkowitz argued that Afrocentric scholars had exaggerated the black historical role in Egypt (Kemet) and created undocumented myths coupled by shoddy research methods and documentation. Lefkowitz attacked George G. M. James who perhaps wrote the Afrocentric intellectual treatise in 1954, titled, “Stolen Legacy”. Lefkowitz stated, “Perhaps the most influential Afrocentrist text is Stolen Legacy, a work that has been in wide circulation since its publication in 1954. Its author, George G. M. James, writes that the ‘term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence’. He argues that the Greeks ‘did not possess the native ability essential to the development of philosophy.’ Rather, he states that “the Greeks were not the authors of Greek philosophy, but Black people of North Africa, The Egyptians. . . It is not hard to understand why James wishes to give credit for the Greek achievement to the Egyptians, even if there is little or no historical foundation for these claims. Like the other nationalistic myths, the story of a ‘Stolen Legacy’ both offers an explanation for past suffering and provides a source of ethnic pride.”(Reference: Mary Lefkowitz; “Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History.”
Quite obvious this writer disagrees with Professor Lefkowitz because her assessment and other scholars like her, desire to play up the so-called Semitic lineage and through faulty deductive reason they would like to even argue that the Ancient Egyptians were white and these traditional, Revisionist and reformist historical schools of thought have united behind DNA testing, as representing the last resort to rob ancient Egypt (Kemet) of an African origin, but the preliminary DNA testing wasn’t as conclusive as they expected, which resulted from the unavailability of physical evidence that has faded away with time. The DNA testing has verified overwhelmingly Nubian blood present in the Egyptian corpse and mummies and DNA testing has yet to disqualify the non-presences of African blood in the ethno-racial lineage of the Ancient Egyptians. This writer even read articles written by credible Masonic writers and historians such as Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas that had posted articles on the Hall of Maat and Graham Hancock sites, but intellectual racism, is in one sense, more dangerous because it sets the mental premise and gives meaning, rationale, validation, justification and serve as the foundation for the underlying principle that racism needs to rationalize its existence.
Lastly, from the http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/4921, I received some valuable lessons and instructions from a blogger who goes by the name of Kats and this is what he left me with relative to my post titled, “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth.”
“I have always believed that our understanding of the 'past' and 'future' plays the role of two wings of a bird (us), and only in good balance can we then fly where we want to go. So all efforts to elucidate and not compromise with the facts is valuable. Where it gets a bit uncomfortable is when we start getting ideological and tend to paint some facts with brighter colors and some in darker. It is important that more researchers like yourself write about the likelihood of incorrectness of Jesus bd to maybe encourage finding new innovative ways to dig for a true bd.”
“The need for knowing or yet better replacing it is its incorrectness and not because it is a 'pagan celebration'. If the latter is the reason, we can be sure the corrections won't end with bd. This is where we arrive at a juncture where what we think civilization is becomes crucial. All religions, spiritual belief systems, philosophies, theologies, theosophies, etc. are languages of mind, just like languages of mouth, and languages of heart (music) and are precious heritage of our civilization.”
“We have had enough of rough minded powerful leaders who ram thru nations and cultures and destroyed their language of mind, mouth, and heart which took them millenniums of hard work to create, and left them like cats with chopped off whiskers who can't tell which side is up which down. A truly irreparable damage to our civilization. We might have been a bit numbed up by western historians who put heavy emphasis on tool making in ranking civilizations. To me, millions of people around the world died during thousands of years in the process of figuring out which mushrooms are edible and nutritious without side effects, which plant roots have medicinal effects, which deep sea vegetations are good for us, is civilization.”
“That's why I think, did Egypt feed the world with civilization or China, is a question that can only take you to a wrong answer. We can appreciate and respect their contribution, but not the claiming ownership. No body owns civilization. Your description that what premises Dr. John Jackson might have been operating under makes sense, only if he doesn't fall into the same trap.”
I do not know if I have fell into that trap that Kats were referring to, but this writer knew that Graham Hamcock and the Hall of Maat forums were mixing truth with falsehood and in some cases was outright lying about the history and culture of ancient Egypt (Kemet) in order to covertly push their intellectual racist agenda. Some of these scholars even held doctorate degrees in various disciplines, but this writer could no longer sit quietly by while they pillage and plunder over African history. Someone will argue that Knight seem obsessed with the question of race and fail to recognize and acknowledge my core base, which is African, African American and all people of goodwill. This is my response to setting the historical record straight and to letting Graham Hamcock and the Hall of Maat forums know that THERE ARE EYES ON THEM.

There are two website named HALL OF MAAT; WEIGHING THE EVIDENCE OF ALTERNATIVE HISTORY and the GRAHAM HANCOCK website, both seemed to have dedicated part of their discussion forums to the intellectual and scientific research of Kemet (Egypt) and while blogging on the TDG (The Daily Grail) site this writer discovered on the sidebar of the site there was an icon referencing these two above said Internet forums. Thus, this was in late December 2007, I had just web/blog published an article titled, “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth,” which this controversial subject and topic, had its pundits and apologist debating the article on various Internet websites. One of the above listed forums allowed me to submit the article, but the article was immediately removed—I contacted the webmaster who informed me that it was a matter of a technical glitch and he assured me that article would be reposted. Thus, if my memory serves me correctly, the webmaster was celebrating his birthday in December and was at a social outing, commemorating this occasion with his family and friends, when this writer emailed him. He emailed me back and stated after the outing he would investigate this matter and repost the article. I do not know if the article was ever re-posted. (Reference: Fahim A. Knight; “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth”).
Cheik Anta Diop in his book titled, “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality” stated, “Ancient Egypt was a Negro civilization. The history of Black Africa will remain suspended in air and can not be written correctly until African historians dare to connect it with the history of Egypt. In particular, the study of languages, institutions, and so forth, can not be treated properly; in a word, it will be impossible to build African humanities, a body African human sciences, so long as the relationship does not appear legitimate. The African historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest nor objective, nor unruffled; he is ignorant, cowardly, and neurotic. Imagine, if you can, the uncomfortable position of a western historian who was to write the history of Europe without referring to Greco-Latin Antiquity and try that off as a scientific approach.” (Reference: Cheik Anta Diop; “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality”).
But what struck me about the Hall of Maat and Graham Hancock sites were that they had a body of scholars, scientist, social scientist, laypersons, etc., dedicated to investigating the history, culture and genealogy of ancient Egypt (Kemet). These scholars and researchers seemed to have one common thread relative to ancient Egypt (Kemet), which was disproving that this North East African nation was African (black) in genotypical’ and ‘phenotypical’ terms. There appears to be an academic-led movement, amongst some Caucasian scholars in the United States and Europe, to use a new wave of technology and science which to reevaluate and re-access the genealogy of those who inhabited ancient Egypt (Kemet) by using the availability of DNA testing. (Reference: John G. Jackson; “Man, God, and Civilization”).
This will allow a field of pure science to be the guiding force of re-determining past historical evidence which was once guided mainly by social science that allowed history as a discipline to interact in an interdependency manner with anthropology, archaeology, paleontology, sociology, etc., to validate past events. But according to this new wave of historical research methodology, scholars and scientist argue that it will allow for so-called more reliable objective research findings and provide us with definitive and substantiated evidence in order to tell us more about the original inhabitants of Ancient Egypt (Kemet), which was the original name of Egypt prior to the Greeks, Arabs, British, Assyrians, Turks, and the European invaders occupying and colonizing this North African nation. (Reference: Molefi Kete Asante; “Afrocentricity”).

James, writes that the ‘term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence’. He argues that the Greeks ‘did not possess the native ability essential to the development of philosophy.’ Rather, he states that “the Greeks were not the authors of Greek philosophy, but Black people of North Africa, The Egyptians. . . It is not hard to understand why James wishes to give credit for the Greek achievement to the Egyptians, even if there is little or no historical foundation for these claims. Like the other nationalistic myths, the story of a ‘Stolen Legacy’ both offers an explanation for past suffering and provides a source of ethnic pride.”(Reference: Mary Lefkowitz; “Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History.”
Quite obvious this writer disagrees with Professor Lefkowitz because her assessment and other scholars like her, desire to play up the so-called Semitic lineage and through faulty deductive reason they would like to even argue that the Ancient Egyptians were white and these traditional, Revisionist and reformist historical schools of thought have united behind DNA testing, as representing the last resort to rob ancient Egypt (Kemet) of an African origin, but the preliminary DNA testing wasn’t as conclusive as they expected, which resulted from the unavailability of physical evidence that has faded away with time. The DNA testing has verified overwhelmingly Nubian blood present in the Egyptian corpse and mummies and DNA testing has yet to disqualify the non-presences of African blood in the ethno-racial lineage of the Ancient Egyptians. This writer even read articles written by credible Masonic writers and historians such as Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas that had posted articles on the Hall of Maat and Graham Hancock sites, but intellectual racism, is in one sense, more dangerous because it sets the mental premise and gives meaning, rationale, validation, justification and serve as the foundation for the underlying principle that racism needs to rationalize its existence.
Lastly, from the http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/4921, I received some valuable lessons and instructions from a blogger who goes by the name of Kats and this is what he left me with relative to my post titled, “Christmas—Jesus the Sun God: Lies, Deception and the Truth.”
“I have always believed that our understanding of the 'past' and 'future' plays the role of two wings of a bird (us), and only in good balance can we then fly where we want to go. So all efforts to elucidate and not compromise with the facts is valuable. Where it gets a bit uncomfortable is when we start getting ideological and tend to paint some facts with brighter colors and some in darker. It is important that more researchers like yourself write about the likelihood of incorrectness of Jesus bd to maybe encourage finding new innovative ways to dig for a true bd.”
“The need for knowing or yet better replacing it is its incorrectness and not because it is a 'pagan celebration'. If the latter is the reason, we can be sure the corrections won't end with bd. This is where we arrive at a juncture where what we think civilization is becomes crucial. All religions, spiritual belief systems, philosophies, theologies, theosophies, etc. are languages of mind, just like languages of mouth, and languages of heart (music) and are precious heritage of our civilization.”
“We have had enough of rough minded powerful leaders who ram thru nations and cultures and destroyed their language of mind, mouth, and heart which took them millenniums of hard work to create, and left them like cats with chopped off whiskers who can't tell which side is up which down. A truly irreparable damage to our civilization. We might have been a bit numbed up by western historians who put heavy emphasis on tool making in ranking civilizations. To me, millions of people around the world died during thousands of years in the process of figuring out which mushrooms are edible and nutritious without side effects, which plant roots have medicinal effects, which deep sea vegetations are good for us, is civilization.”
“That's why I think, did Egypt feed the world with civilization or China, is a question that can only take you to a wrong answer. We can appreciate and respect their contribution, but not the claiming ownership. No body owns civilization. Your description that what premises Dr. John Jackson might have been operating under makes sense, only if he doesn't fall into the same trap.”
I do not know if I have fell into that trap that Kats were referring to, but this writer knew that Graham Hamcock and the Hall of Maat forums were mixing truth with falsehood and in some cases was outright lying about the history and culture of ancient Egypt (Kemet) in order to covertly push their intellectual racist agenda. Some of these scholars even held doctorate degrees in various disciplines, but this writer could no longer sit quietly by while they pillage and plunder over African history. Someone will argue that Knight seem obsessed with the question of race and fail to recognize and acknowledge my core base, which is African, African American and all people of goodwill. This is my response to setting the historical record straight and to letting Graham Hamcock and the Hall of Maat forums know that THERE ARE EYES ON THEM.

MINISTER MALCOLM X: LIKE IT, OR NOT (1925--1965
“MINISTER MALCOLM X: LIKE IT, OR NOT (1925-1965)"
By Fahim A. Knight
This article is a tribute to the late Minister Malcolm X who on May 19, 2008 will be celebrating his 83rd birthday. This writer has little doubt that Minister Malcolm X if a live today would be a voice on behalf of the oppressed, poor, and disenfranchised and would be a dissenting voice against United States Foreign Policy. This writer knows that Minister Malcolm X would be in opposition to the U.S./Iraq War where over a million innocent Iraqi citizens have lost their lives due to greed and the STEALING OF OIL BY PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH. I do not think Minister Malcolm X would be celebrating the 60th Nationhood birthday (May 18, 2008) of Israel without full recognition of the oppressed Palestinian People and would be in support of their sovereignty and Arabs rights to the land of Palestine. I do not think Minister Malcolm X could support Senator John McCain who said he supported United States troops being in Iraq for the next one hundred years. I do think Minister Malcolm X would be in support of the United States Patriot Act, which had relegated to the United States Constitution to a worthless piece of paper, which ultimately has compromised the civil liberties of United States Citizens. Minister Malcolm X would denounce the imperialistic practices and policies of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank relative to developing nations.
Minister Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at the tender age of thirty-nine (39) and he was perhaps one of the most controversial and misunderstood black leaders of the Twentieth Century. He was very critical of the United States Government domestic and Foreign Policy, as well as, early on critical of the traditional African American Civil Rights Leadership—Martin Luther King, A. Phillip Randolph, Roy Wilkins, Whitney Young, Bayard Rustin, Roy Ennis, etc., as being too accommodating and to placating toward the United States Government and the white society. Malcolm represented the antithesis to the non-violent and civil disobedient Civil Rights leadership who he called “sellouts” and “uncle toms”.
Malcolm X stated: "Just as the slave master of that day used Tom, the house Negro, to keep the field Negroes in check, the same old slave master today has Negroes who are nothing but modern Uncle Toms, 20th century Uncle Toms, to keep you and me in check, keep us under control, keep us passive and peaceful and nonviolent. That's Tom making you nonviolent. It's like when you go to the dentist, and the man's going to take your tooth. You're going to fight him when he starts pulling. So he squirts some stuff in your jaw called Novocain, to make you think they're not doing anything to you. So you sit there and 'cause you've got all of that Novocain in your jaw, you suffer peacefully. Blood running all down your jaw and you don't know what's happening. 'Cause someone has taught you to suffer – peacefully. (Reference: Malcolm X Speech titled, “Message To The Grass Roots—Detroit; November 10, 1963).
Malcolm X felt that he represented the poor, oppressed, and the downtrodden unlike the established black leadership—that appeared to be bourgeoisie and a bit too cozy toward the status quo. His worldview perhaps was shaped by a society that had defined and condemned him (black people) to an inferior status. Malcolm X talked about during his eight grade school year that he expressed to his teacher that he wanted to be a lawyer and he conveyed those aspirations to his Caucasian teacher, but he was discouraged and told that blacks were better suited for vocational trades and service oriented work, as opposed professions such as law. Malcolm X also witnesses his father Reverend Earl Little being tied to a railroad track by white men—Ku Klux Klan and his body being severed because he dared to defend his family from white racist intimidation in Omaha, Nebraska. He also witnesses his mother, a native West Indian from the small island of Grenada forced to raise seven children by herself and during the years of the Great Depression. (Reference: Rodnell P. Collins: Seventh Child: A Family Memoir of Malcolm X).
His mother eventually had a nervous breakdown and was committed to an insane asylum, which led to Malcolm X and his siblings being divided amongst different family members. He was born just twenty (29) years after the infamous Supreme Court Decision of Plessy Versus Ferguson of 1896, a landmark decision, which the high court legalized racism and segregation in the United States. Thus, Malcolm X was not created in a vacuum, but his later views would be shaped by different social and political variables, which he experienced in his early life—racism. Many people have tried to characterize and dismissed Minister Malcolm X teachings to mere “hate teachings’ and conveniently overlook the fact that he was reacting to systemic racism in America. Jim Crow Laws were discriminatory in intent and nature, it created a government that essential became what one of my professors, the late Dr. Earlie Thorpe referred to as a “pigementocracy”, in which he defines as a government where as rewards and privileges were granted based on skin color. (Reference: C. Eric Lincoln: The Black Muslims of America)
Minister Malcolm X was not the one that created a system of injustice, but he later would confront it head on and used harsh critical analysis to dismantle racial stereotypes that were applied to blacks in order to create a racial atmosphere of divisiveness—white superiority and black inferiority. Malcolm X went through different psychological and political changes in his life—changes that can be summed up by his names—Malcolm Little, Detroit Red, Satan, Malcolm X, EL-Hajj Malik Shabazz and Brother Omawale; thus, each of these names represented life predicaments and mental and political transitions. Malcolm X would later relinquish his surname Little because he learned that these names were imposed on blacks by their former slave masters. (Reference: Alex Haley: The Autobiography of Malcolm X).
Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) who led the Nation of Islam for forty-four (44) years gave Minister Malcolm X a new perspective, as far as viewing the social, political, economic realities facing him, in particular and blacks in general. Muhammad taught that blacks original names were systematically taken from them during Chattel Slavery (1555-1865), as well as their original religion which was Islam and they were given Christianity, the slave master’s religion in order to control their minds and keep them docile and subservient. Muhammad initially would give all his followers the surname “X” stating that in mathematic language “X” in the alphabet stood for the unknown variables and by blacks being kidnapped from Africa and robbed of their culture and heritage had lost their true identity. This message resonated with many blacks in the United States including Minister Malcolm X.(Reference: Karl Evanzz: The Messenger: The Rise and Fall of Elijah Muhammad).
Malcolm X became a serious student of world history studying the great historians such as James Henry Breasted authored, “The Conquest of Civilization,” Hendrik Willem van Loon authored, “The Story of Man Kind,” H.G. Wells who authored the book titled, “Outline History” and Will Durant monumental works titled, “The Story of Civilization” in which these European historians in a lot of ways verified Elijah Muhammad’s worldview. But he was perhaps most influenced by the works of the Historian Joel Augustus Rogers who had a knack of finding and revealing little known black history facts. He authored “The World’s Great Men of Color” (two volumes), “Sex and Race” (three volumes), “Africa’s Gift to America to America,” “100 Hundred Amazing Facts about the Negro,” in which Minister Malcolm X armed himself with a body of intellectual knowledge that would later be used in his ability to debate scholars, theologians, historians, politicians, etc., and he never lost a debate.
Minister Malcolm X only completed the eight grade of schooling, but he would later be given forums to speak and debate scholars at Harvard and Yale University. He really did not need much because slavery was in reprehensible and stood as a Christian and human contradiction, which was justified by racism. He attacked those social and political points that were in defensive and made most debaters appear weak and intellectual vulnerable. Muhammad taught that his teachings could be summed up in six words “Accept your own and be yourself” it would be this type of religious nationalism that early on comforted Minister Malcolm X and insulated him from a troubled past and gave him a sense of purpose.
Minister Malcolm stated, “Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That revolution was for what? For land. Why did they want land? Independence. How was it carried out? Bloodshed. Number one, it was based on land, the basis of independence. And the only way they could get it was bloodshed. The French Revolution -- what was it based on? The land-less against the landlord. What was it for? Land. How did they get it? Bloodshed. Was no love lost; was no compromise; was no negotiation. I'm telling you, you don't know what a revolution is. 'Cause when you find out what it is, you'll get back in the alley; you'll get out of the way. The Russian Revolution -- what was it based on? Land. The land-less against the landlord. How did they bring it about? Bloodshed. You haven't got a revolution that doesn't involve bloodshed. And you're afraid to bleed. I said, you're afraid to bleed”. (Reference: Malcolm X Speech titled, “Message To The Grass Roots—Detroit; November 10, 1963).
Minister X was given the street name Detroit Red, which was a stage of life that he was involved in criminal behavior and street hustling in Detroit and later in Boston where he learned to survive in the ghettos of Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts. These experiences also would later prepare him for his ministry, in particular on how to the sell the message and program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to African Americans throughout America. Malcolm X had an appeal to the poor and downtrodden because essential he spoke their language—street language, in which the early Nation of Islam’s recruits were the black proletariat, he had the uncanny ability to relate to them and visa versa. (Reference: Amin bin Qasim Nathari: Islam In America in 1995: 20 Years A.E.)
The author Archie Epps in his book titled, “Malcolm X and the American Revolution: The Speeches of Malcolm X”. Minister Malcolm stated, “So I stand here tonight speaking as a victim of what you call democracy. And you can understand what I’m saying if you realize it’s being said through the mouth of a victim; the mouth of one of the oppressed, not through the mouth and eyes of the oppressor. But if you think we’re sitting in the same chair or standing on the same platform, then you won’t understand what I’m talking about. You’d expect me to stand up here and say what you what you would say if you were standing up here. And I ‘d have to be out of my mind. Whenever one is viewing this political system through the eyes of a victim, he sees something different. But today these twenty-two million black people who are victims of American democracy, whether you realize it or not, are viewing your democracy with new eyes. Yesterday our people used to look upon American system as an American dream. But the black people today are beginning to realize that it is an American nightmare.” (Reference: Archie Epps: Malcolm X and the American Revolution: The Speeches of Malcolm X).
Malcolm X was eventually arrested and convicted of burglary and a number of other crimes; he was sentenced to ten (10) years of imprisonment. This is where his life would change and he began to reassess and reevaluate his personal predicament from the confinement walls of a Michigan State Prison. Muhammad taught that the black man was made blind, death and dumb to the knowledge of self—striped of his names, culture and God. Minister Malcolm X perhaps had to be brought down to his lowest point in order to be elevated to his highest point—standing as one of the premier black spokesman of the latter part of the 20th Century. Malcolm X’s youngest brother Reginald X had joined the Nation of Islam Temple number 2 in Detroit and it was he, who initially began to recruit Minister Malcolm to the black Muslim movement.
He was given the nickname in prison of Satan because he had renounced God and Jesus and questioned organized religion. His brother Reginald X Little constantly wrote him letters explaining Mr. Muhammad’s theology and teachings, this was around 1948. Malcolm X himself eventually wrote the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Muhammad wrote him back, as well as sending him money. Malcolm X so-called found the black man’s original religion, which was Islam (which translate to mean submission and peace) of his forefathers, the so-called religion of the Asiatic black man. Minister Malcolm X’s life was immediately transformed upon declaring to be a Muslim. Minister Malcolm X while in prison read and memorized the entire dictionary and used his time qualitatively to develop his intellectual knowledge base. Malcolm X found Muhammad and the Nation of Islam’s teachings intriguing because it gave him the knowledge of self—Muhammad taught a liberation theology that encompassed black symbols and images as opposed to American style Christianity that had Europeanized God, the prophets, the angels, etc., as being white. Muhammad’s teachings rescued Africa from the European designation of the title “Dark Continent” and taught how human civilization and learning evolved from Africa. This Islamic nationalism turned an ex-convict into one the most fierce debaters in African-American history. (Reference: Edward W. Blyden: Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race).
Malcolm X exited prison in 1952 as a Muslim and believer in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s program and mission. He initially joined Temple Number 2 Detroit, Michigan; this was ironic because Elijah Muhammad and Wali Fard Muhammad both stomped in Detroit. The Nation of Islam founder Wali Fard Muhammad in 1930 went into the ghettos and slums of Paradise Valley in Detroit going door to door teaching blacks about their lost history and telling them they were from royal linage; introduced them to the Holy Qur’an and instructed them on the proper Islamic dietary laws, etc. Moreover on July 4, 1930 Wali Fard Muhammad met Elijah Poole (Muhammad) and taught him day and night for three and one half years until his mysterious disappearance in 1933. The elder Muhammad loved Minister Malcolm X like a son and the love was reciprocal. (Reference: Mattias Gardell In the Name of Elijah Muhammad: Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam).
Minister Malcolm was ambitious and worked to internalized what Elijah Muhammad called the “Life Giving Teachings” and moved up the ranks in the Nation of Islam quite swiftly. He believed all black people needed to hear Mr. Muhammad’s teachings and program and became one of the best students of Muhammad’s teachings; moreover, taking the Nation of Islam evangelic message of black redemption and salvation the breathe and length of America. Minister Malcolm X helped the Honorable Elijah Muhammad established Temples (Mosque) throughout America. Minister Malcolm X was a fiery and charismatic preacher that had tremendous natural intellectual wit, but was often liken to a frustrated Baptist minister—who taught fire and brimstone sermons. (Reference: Benjamin Karim: Remembering Malcolm)
Minister Malcolm X stated, “The only person who can organize the man in the street is the one who is unacceptable to the white community. They don’t trust the other kind. They don’t know who controls his actions. . .The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize a sleeping people around specifics goals. You have to wake the people up. . .to their humanity, to their own worth, and to their heritage. The biggest difference between the parallel oppression of the Jew and the Negro is that the Jew never lost his pride in being a Jew. He never ceased to be a man. He knew he had made significant contribution to the world, and his sense of his own value gave him the courage to fight back. It enabled him to act and think independently, unlike our people and our leaders.” (Michael Eric Dyson: Making Malcolm: The Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X).
It was Minister Malcolm X in 1959 that founded the Nation of Islam’s national newspaper titled, “Muhammad Speaks” and it was his proselytizing that won the Nation of Islam new recruits and allies throughout America. Minister Malcolm X organized and setup most of the early temples and even had the ability to attract college trained—middle class blacks, in which prior to his joining this segment of the black population did not find Muhammad’s teachings attractive and appealing. Minister Malcolm X changed that perception with his intellect and being a gifted orator. Minister Malcolm X in 1955 even recruited a talented Calypso Singer (staged named Gene the Charmer) named Louis Eugene Walcott (Farrakhan) and served as a mentor to young Louis X (Farrakhan) in the early days. Minister Malcolm X was eventually pointed to head Temple Number 7 New York City, as well as the National Representative of the entire Nation of Islam and was starting to receive high visibility from the people and the media. (Reference: Arthur J. Magida: The Prophet of Rage: A Life of Louis Farrakhan and his Nation).
Minister Malcolm X was very close to Mr. Muhammad’s next to the youngest son, Wallace D. Muhammad who had a history of being excommunicated, organizational disobedience and theological in subornation toward the precepts of his father’s theology. There were some belief that Mr. Muhammad’s children and inner circle were becoming increasingly envy and jealous of Minister Malcolm X success and insiders believe that a plot was hatched to move Minister Malcolm X out of the way. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had already begun sending spies and agent provocateurs to the Nation of Islam and it has been proving that some of the Nation of Islam’s national leadership was on the United States Government payroll. J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI had the Nation of Islam and its leadership under constant surveillance along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights leadership. Hoover had a counter-intelligence operation named Cointelpro.(Reference: Karl Evanzz: The Judas Factor: The Plot to Kill Malcolm X)
Wikipedia on line research resources says this about Cointelpro; “COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception; however the formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971 The FBI motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order." Targets included groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations; people suspected of building a "coalition of militant black nationalist groups" ranging from the Black Panther Party and Republic of New Africa, to "those in the non-violent civil rights movement," such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Congress on Racial
Equality (CORE), and other civil rights groups.”
There were rumors and allegations that Honorable Elijah Muhammad had impregnated a number of his young secretaries and it was Muhammad’s son, Wallace D. Muhammad that exposed these allegations to Minister Malcolm X and this news devastated Minister Malcolm X because he believed that Mr. Muhammad was a divine Messenger from God in capable of committing sin, but even to date one must asked the question of, what was the younger Muhammad’s intent for revealing his father’s domestic life to Minister Malcolm X? and/or was there something sinister on the part of Wallace D. Muhammad in revealing his father’s domestic information to Minister Malcolm X? (Reference: Claude Clegg: An Original Man The Life and Times of Elijah Muhammad).
Minister Malcolm X initially confided in Louis X (Farrakhan) who was the minister over Temple Number 11 Boston, Massachusetts and told Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) what Wallace D. Muhammad had told him relative to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad so-called sexual improprieties. Minister Malcolm X trusted Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) and the first question Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) asked Minster Malcolm X was had he told the Honorable Elijah Muhammad what he had discovered? Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) has said publicly that his ultimately loyalty was to Muhammad and told his mentor Minister Malcolm X that he would give Minister Malcolm X a chance to write Muhammad, but essentially he would be formulating a letter to Mr. Muhammad exposing what Minister Malcolm X had revealed to him.
Minister Malcolm X, Louis X (Farrakhan) and the entire Nation of Islam viewed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad as a divine Messenger and Minister Malcolm X knew and understood theologically that all the biblical prophets of old had domestic trials and he really could have perhaps given a plausible explanation shrouded in religious idioms to justify and explain what appeared to be sexual innuendos. Some view this aspect of the Nation of Islam’s history as acts of betrayal and hypocrisy. This painful history still haunts Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. (Reference: Elijah Muhammad: Message to the Blackman of America)
President John F. Kenny was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and Mr. Muhammad gave strict orders to his ministers and followers not to make any public comments in reference to the murder of President Kennedy. Minister Malcolm X was given a speech titled, “God’s Judgment on White America” and during the question and answer period Minister Malcolm X was asked about the assassination of President Kennedy, which he made the infamous statement of a case of the “chickens coming home roost” equating this to death of President Kennedy. Mr. Muhammad indefinitely suspended and silenced his most visible minister for in subornation and this was the internal political impetus that led to Minister Malcolm X eventually being ousted permanently from the Nation of Islam. (Reference: Steven Barboza: American Jihad: Islam After Malcolm X).
Minister Malcolm X would later believe that Nation of Islam’s hierarchy was in a conspiracy to separate him from his leader and teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Minister Malcolm X on March 8, 1964, officially resigned from the Nation of Islam believing that his excommunication and suspension was permanent. Minister Malcolm X’s split with the Nation of Islam was perhaps out of more of a political disagreement rather than a theological disagreement as many have attempted to argue. Minister Malcolm X found two distinct organizations, the Muslim Mosque Incorporated and the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), the former sacred and the latter secular. (Reference: Maulana Karenga: Introduction into Black Studies).
Thus, as much as, Minister Malcolm X made a public conversion to Sunni Orthodox Islam. He was deeply tied to Pan-Africanist /Nationalist Movements with his Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), which he modeled after the Organization of African Unity (OAU) that was very much engaged in the fight for African liberation in 1960's against European imperialism and colonialism. Let’s do the math Malcolm X officially joined the Nation of Islam in about 1951/1952 (although his Islamic conversion began in 1946) after being released from a Michigan State prison and he spent about twelve (12) years representing Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam as their top level minister. This writer does not think he had enough time to formulate a solid conversion to Sunni Orthodox Islam as many have maintained. He was assassinated on February 21, 1965. ( Reference: Clifton E. Marsh: From Black Muslim To Muslim).
Minister Malcolm X after his departure from the Nation of Islam; traveled to various countries in Africa as an official diplomatic guest, sharing in some of the African states newfound sovereignty and independence ceremonies. He also toured the Middle East meeting with Arab Islamic leaders and last, but not least he made Hajj to Mecca and changed his name to EL-Hajj Malik Shabazz and so-called renounced the teachings of Nation of Islam moreover, he was only out the Nation of Islam eleven (11) months before he was murdered. (Reference: William H. Banks: The Black Muslims).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad made Hajj in 1959 to Mecca, Saudi Arabia and received a royal welcome from the Saudi Arabian Hajj committee. Minister Malcolm X was the one that set-up the Hajj trip for his teacher, Elijah Muhammad; interpreted to meaning Minister Malcolm X saw and witness Muslims in Egypt and other Islamic countries of all races and ethnic groups as early as 1959 (reference: Alex Haley and Malcolm X: The Autobiography of Malcolm X). Elijah Muhammad’s theology did not preclude him from making the greatest observance in Islam; Muhammad like all the thousands of others pilgrims who made the holy Pilgrimage to Mecca—circumambulated the Kaaba touched and kissed the black stone, which was place there by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. In addition, to Elijah Muhammad making Hajj, two of his sons, Herbert Muhammad presently known as Jabir Muhammad and his son Imam Warith Deen Mohammed (Leader of the Muslim American Mission) all made Hajj in 1959 adhering to the FIFTH PILLAR OF ISLAM. He went their as a Muslim and left there as a Muslim and continued to teach the Nation of Islam’s theological doctrine; moreover essentially Elijah Muhammad never submitted to Arabs (Sunni Islam) doctrine.(Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim: The History of Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah).
Lastly, Minister Malcolm X challenged the United States Government, white America and black America with speaking raw truth and used his voice to antagonize the status quo and advocated FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND EQUALITY for the least of these. Minister Malcolm X was a prophet—he was not consumed with materialism, status and appeasing the powers that-be because his critique and evaluation of the social, political and economic systems was harsh and unsympathetic. Minister Malcolm X understood that ninety-eight (98) percent of the world’s wealth is controlled by a measly one (1) percent of the population and he called for equal redistribution of the world’s wealth. This alone made him an enemy to the Power Elite, in which the corporate media maligned and demonized him as a militant hate teacher and radical in order to dismiss the truths he spoke. This writer does not buy for once that Minister Malcolm X was assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam; although there were Black Muslim triggermen. Nevertheless, the United States Government can not escape ultimate culpability in being in complicit with the assassins. Long Live the Spirit of Minister Malcolm X.

His worldview perhaps was shaped by a society that had defined and condemned him (black people) to an inferior status. Malcolm X talked about during his eight grade school year that he expressed to his teacher that he wanted to be a lawyer and he conveyed those aspirations to his Caucasian teacher, but he was discouraged and told that blacks were better suited for vocational trades and service oriented work, as opposed professions such as law. Malcolm X also witnesses his father Reverend Earl Little being tied to a railroad track by white men—Ku Klux Klan and his body being severed because he dared to defend his family from white racist intimidation in Omaha, Nebraska. He also witnesses his mother, a native West Indian from the small island of Grenada forced to raise seven children by herself and during the years of the Great Depression. (Reference: Rodnell P. Collins: Seventh Child: A Family Memoir of Malcolm X).
His mother eventually had a nervous breakdown and was committed to an insane asylum, which led to Malcolm X and his siblings being divided amongst different family members. He was born just twenty (29) years after the infamous Supreme Court Decision of Plessy Versus Ferguson of 1896, a landmark decision, which the high court legalized racism and segregation in the United States. Thus, Malcolm X was not created in a vacuum, but his later views would be shaped by different social and political variables, which he experienced in his early life—racism. Many people have tried to characterize and dismissed Minister Malcolm X teachings to mere “hate teachings’ and conveniently overlook the fact that he was reacting to systemic racism in America. Jim Crow Laws were discriminatory in intent and nature, it created a government that essential became what one of my professors, the late Dr. Earlie Thorpe referred to as a “pigementocracy”, in which he defines as a government where as rewards and privileges were granted based on skin color. (Reference: C. Eric Lincoln: The Black Muslims of America)
Minister Malcolm X was not the one that created a system of injustice, but he later would confront it head on and used harsh critical analysis to dismantle racial stereotypes that were applied to blacks in order to create a racial atmosphere of divisiveness—white superiority and black inferiority. Malcolm X went through different psychological and political changes in his life—changes that can be summed up by his names—Malcolm Little, Detroit Red, Satan, Malcolm X, EL-Hajj Malik Shabazz and Brother Omawale; thus, each of these names represented life predicaments and mental and political transitions. Malcolm X would later relinquish his surname Little because he learned that these names were imposed on blacks by their former slave masters. (Reference: Alex Haley: The Autobiography of Malcolm X).
Elijah Muhammad (1897-1975) who led the Nation of Islam for forty-four (44) years gave Minister Malcolm X a new perspective, as far as viewing the social, political, economic realities facing him, in particular and blacks in general. Muhammad taught that blacks original names were systematically taken from them during Chattel Slavery (1555-1865), as well as their original religion which was Islam and they were given Christianity, the slave master’s religion in order to control their minds and keep them docile and subservient. Muhammad initially would give all his followers the surname “X” stating that in mathematic language “X” in the alphabet stood for the unknown variables and by blacks being kidnapped from Africa and robbed of their culture and heritage had lost their true identity. This message resonated with many blacks in the United States including Minister Malcolm X.(Reference: Karl Evanzz: The Messenger: The Rise and Fall of Elijah Muhammad).
Malcolm X became a serious student of world history studying the great historians such as James Henry Breasted authored, “The Conquest of Civilization,” Hendrik Willem van Loon authored, “The Story of Man Kind,” H.G. Wells who authored the book titled, “Outline History” and Will Durant monumental works titled, “The Story of Civilization” in which these European historians in a lot of ways verified Elijah Muhammad’s worldview. But he was perhaps most influenced by the works of the Historian Joel Augustus Rogers who had a knack of finding and revealing little known black history facts. He authored “The World’s Great Men of Color” (two volumes), “Sex and Race” (three volumes), “Africa’s Gift to America to America,” “100 Hundred Amazing Facts about the Negro,” in which Minister Malcolm X armed himself with a body of intellectual knowledge that would later be used in his ability to debate scholars, theologians, historians, politicians, etc., and he never lost a debate.
Minister Malcolm X only completed the eight grade of schooling, but he would later be given forums to speak and debate scholars at Harvard and Yale University. He really did not need much because slavery was in reprehensible and stood as a Christian and human contradiction, which was justified by racism. He attacked those social and political points that were in defensive and made most debaters appear weak and intellectual vulnerable. Muhammad taught that his teachings could be summed up in six words “Accept your own and be yourself” it would be this type of religious nationalism that early on comforted Minister Malcolm X and insulated him from a troubled past and gave him a sense of purpose.
Minister Malcolm stated, “Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That revolution was for what? For land. Why did they want land? Independence. How was it carried out? Bloodshed. Number one, it was based on land, the basis of independence. And the only way they could get it was bloodshed. The French Revolution -- what was it based on? The land-less against the landlord. What was it for? Land. How did they get it? Bloodshed. Was no love lost; was no compromise; was no negotiation. I'm telling you, you don't know what a revolution is. 'Cause when you find out what it is, you'll get back in the alley; you'll get out of the way. The Russian Revolution -- what was it based on? Land. The land-less against the landlord. How did they bring it about? Bloodshed. You haven't got a revolution that doesn't involve bloodshed. And you're afraid to bleed. I said, you're afraid to bleed”. (Reference: Malcolm X Speech titled, “Message To The Grass Roots—Detroit; November 10, 1963).
Minister X was given the street name Detroit Red, which was a stage of life that he was involved in criminal behavior and street hustling in Detroit and later in Boston where he learned to survive in the ghettos of Roxbury section of Boston, Massachusetts. These experiences also would later prepare him for his ministry, in particular on how to the sell the message and program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to African Americans throughout America. Malcolm X had an appeal to the poor and downtrodden because essential he spoke their language—street language, in which the early Nation of Islam’s recruits were the black proletariat, he had the uncanny ability to relate to them and visa versa. (Reference: Amin bin Qasim Nathari: Islam In America in 1995: 20 Years A.E.)
The author Archie Epps in his book titled, “Malcolm X and the American Revolution: The Speeches of Malcolm X”. Minister Malcolm stated, “So I stand here tonight speaking as a victim of what you call democracy. And you can understand what I’m saying if you realize it’s being said through the mouth of a victim; the mouth of one of the oppressed, not through the mouth and eyes of the oppressor. But if you think we’re sitting in the same chair or standing on the same platform, then you won’t understand what I’m talking about. You’d expect me to stand up here and say what you what you would say if you were standing up here. And I ‘d have to be out of my mind. Whenever one is viewing this political system through the eyes of a victim, he sees something different. But today these twenty-two million black people who are victims of American democracy, whether you realize it or not, are viewing your democracy with new eyes. Yesterday our people used to look upon American system as an American dream. But the black people today are beginning to realize that it is an American nightmare.” (Reference: Archie Epps: Malcolm X and the American Revolution: The Speeches of Malcolm X).
Malcolm X was eventually arrested and convicted of burglary and a number of other crimes; he was sentenced to ten (10) years of imprisonment. This is where his life would change and he began to reassess and reevaluate his personal predicament from the confinement walls of a Michigan State Prison. Muhammad taught that the black man was made blind, death and dumb to the knowledge of self—striped of his names, culture and God. Minister Malcolm X perhaps had to be brought down to his lowest point in order to be elevated to his highest point—standing as one of the premier black spokesman of the latter part of the 20th Century. Malcolm X’s youngest brother Reginald X had joined the Nation of Islam Temple number 2 in Detroit and it was he, who initially began to recruit Minister Malcolm to the black Muslim movement.
He was given the nickname in prison of Satan because he had renounced God and Jesus and questioned organized religion. His brother Reginald X Little constantly wrote him letters explaining Mr. Muhammad’s theology and teachings, this was around 1948. Malcolm X himself eventually wrote the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Muhammad wrote him back, as well as sending him money. Malcolm X so-called found the black man’s original religion, which was Islam (which translate to mean submission and peace) of his forefathers, the so-called religion of the Asiatic black man. Minister Malcolm X’s life was immediately transformed upon declaring to be a Muslim. Minister Malcolm X while in prison read and memorized the entire dictionary and used his time qualitatively to develop his intellectual knowledge base. Malcolm X found Muhammad and the Nation of Islam’s teachings intriguing because it gave him the knowledge of self—Muhammad taught a liberation theology that encompassed black symbols and images as opposed to American style Christianity that had Europeanized God, the prophets, the angels, etc., as being white. Muhammad’s teachings rescued Africa from the European designation of the title “Dark Continent” and taught how human civilization and learning evolved from Africa. This Islamic nationalism turned an ex-convict into one the most fierce debaters in African-American history. (Reference: Edward W. Blyden: Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race).
Malcolm X exited prison in 1952 as a Muslim and believer in the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s program and mission. He initially joined Temple Number 2 Detroit, Michigan; this was ironic because Elijah Muhammad and Wali Fard Muhammad both stomped in Detroit. The Nation of Islam founder Wali Fard Muhammad in 1930 went into the ghettos and slums of Paradise Valley in Detroit going door to door teaching blacks about their lost history and telling them they were from royal linage; introduced them to the Holy Qur’an and instructed them on the proper Islamic dietary laws, etc. Moreover on July 4, 1930 Wali Fard Muhammad met Elijah Poole (Muhammad) and taught him day and night for three and one half years until his mysterious disappearance in 1933. The elder Muhammad loved Minister Malcolm X like a son and the love was reciprocal. (Reference: Mattias Gardell In the Name of Elijah Muhammad: Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam).
Minister Malcolm was ambitious and worked to internalized what Elijah Muhammad called the “Life Giving Teachings” and moved up the ranks in the Nation of Islam quite swiftly. He believed all black people needed to hear Mr. Muhammad’s teachings and program and became one of the best students of Muhammad’s teachings; moreover, taking the Nation of Islam evangelic message of black redemption and salvation the breathe and length of America. Minister Malcolm X helped the Honorable Elijah Muhammad established Temples (Mosque) throughout America. Minister Malcolm X was a fiery and charismatic preacher that had tremendous natural intellectual wit, but was often liken to a frustrated Baptist minister—who taught fire and brimstone sermons. (Reference: Benjamin Karim: Remembering Malcolm)
Minister Malcolm X stated, “The only person who can organize the man in the street is the one who is unacceptable to the white community. They don’t trust the other kind. They don’t know who controls his actions. . .The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize a sleeping people around specifics goals. You have to wake the people up. . .to their humanity, to their own worth, and to their heritage. The biggest difference between the parallel oppression of the Jew and the Negro is that the Jew never lost his pride in being a Jew. He never ceased to be a man. He knew he had made significant contribution to the world, and his sense of his own value gave him the courage to fight back. It enabled him to act and think independently, unlike our people and our leaders.” (Michael Eric Dyson: Making Malcolm: The Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X).
It was Minister Malcolm X in 1959 that founded the Nation of Islam’s national newspaper titled, “Muhammad Speaks” and it was his proselytizing that won the Nation of Islam new recruits and allies throughout America. Minister Malcolm X organized and setup most of the early temples and even had the ability to attract college trained—middle class blacks, in which prior to his joining this segment of the black population did not find Muhammad’s teachings attractive and appealing. Minister Malcolm X changed that perception with his intellect and being a gifted orator. Minister Malcolm X in 1955 even recruited a talented Calypso Singer (staged named Gene the Charmer) named Louis Eugene Walcott (Farrakhan) and served as a mentor to young Louis X (Farrakhan) in the early days. Minister Malcolm X was eventually pointed to head Temple Number 7 New York City, as well as the National Representative of the entire Nation of Islam and was starting to receive high visibility from the people and the media. (Reference: Arthur J. Magida: The Prophet of Rage: A Life of Louis Farrakhan and his Nation).
Minister Malcolm X was very close to Mr. Muhammad’s next to the youngest son, Wallace D. Muhammad who had a history of being excommunicated, organizational disobedience and theological in subornation toward the precepts of his father’s theology. There were some belief that Mr. Muhammad’s children and inner circle were becoming increasingly envy and jealous of Minister Malcolm X success and insiders believe that a plot was hatched to move Minister Malcolm X out of the way. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had already begun sending spies and agent provocateurs to the Nation of Islam and it has been proving that some of the Nation of Islam’s national leadership was on the United States Government payroll. J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI had the Nation of Islam and its leadership under constant surveillance along with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights leadership. Hoover had a counter-intelligence operation named Cointelpro.(Reference: Karl Evanzz: The Judas Factor: The Plot to Kill Malcolm X)
Wikipedia on line research resources says this about Cointelpro; “COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the United States. The FBI used covert operations from its inception; however the formal COINTELPRO operations took place between 1956 and 1971 The FBI motivation at the time was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order." Targets included groups suspected of being subversive, such as communist and socialist organizations; people suspected of building a "coalition of militant black nationalist groups" ranging from the Black Panther Party and Republic of New Africa, to "those in the non-violent civil rights movement," such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and others associated with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Congress on Racial
Equality (CORE), and other civil rights groups.”
There were rumors and allegations that Honorable Elijah Muhammad had impregnated a number of his young secretaries and it was Muhammad’s son, Wallace D. Muhammad that exposed these allegations to Minister Malcolm X and this news devastated Minister Malcolm X because he believed that Mr. Muhammad was a divine Messenger from God in capable of committing sin, but even to date one must asked the question of, what was the younger Muhammad’s intent for revealing his father’s domestic life to Minister Malcolm X? and/or was there something sinister on the part of Wallace D. Muhammad in revealing his father’s domestic information to Minister Malcolm X? (Reference: Claude Clegg: An Original Man The Life and Times of Elijah Muhammad).
Minister Malcolm X initially confided in Louis X (Farrakhan) who was the minister over Temple Number 11 Boston, Massachusetts and told Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) what Wallace D. Muhammad had told him relative to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad so-called sexual improprieties. Minister Malcolm X trusted Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) and the first question Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) asked Minster Malcolm X was had he told the Honorable Elijah Muhammad what he had discovered? Minister Louis X (Farrakhan) has said publicly that his ultimately loyalty was to Muhammad and told his mentor Minister Malcolm X that he would give Minister Malcolm X a chance to write Muhammad, but essentially he would be formulating a letter to Mr. Muhammad exposing what Minister Malcolm X had revealed to him.
Minister Malcolm X, Louis X (Farrakhan) and the entire Nation of Islam viewed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad as a divine Messenger and Minister Malcolm X knew and understood theologically that all the biblical prophets of old had domestic trials and he really could have perhaps given a plausible explanation shrouded in religious idioms to justify and explain what appeared to be sexual innuendos. Some view this aspect of the Nation of Islam’s history as acts of betrayal and hypocrisy. This painful history still haunts Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. (Reference: Elijah Muhammad: Message to the Blackman of America)
President John F. Kenny was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and Mr. Muhammad gave strict orders to his ministers and followers not to make any public comments in reference to the murder of President Kennedy. Minister Malcolm X was given a speech titled, “God’s Judgment on White America” and during the question and answer period Minister Malcolm X was asked about the assassination of President Kennedy, which he made the infamous statement of a case of the “chickens coming home roost” equating this to death of President Kennedy. Mr. Muhammad indefinitely suspended and silenced his most visible minister for in subornation and this was the internal political impetus that led to Minister Malcolm X eventually being ousted permanently from the Nation of Islam. (Reference: Steven Barboza: American Jihad: Islam After Malcolm X).
Minister Malcolm X would later believe that Nation of Islam’s hierarchy was in a conspiracy to separate him from his leader and teacher, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Minister Malcolm X on March 8, 1964, officially resigned from the Nation of Islam believing that his excommunication and suspension was permanent. Minister Malcolm X’s split with the Nation of Islam was perhaps out of more of a political disagreement rather than a theological disagreement as many have attempted to argue. Minister Malcolm X found two distinct organizations, the Muslim Mosque Incorporated and the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), the former sacred and the latter secular. (Reference: Maulana Karenga: Introduction into Black Studies).
Thus, as much as, Minister Malcolm X made a public conversion to Sunni Orthodox Islam. He was deeply tied to Pan-Africanist /Nationalist Movements with his Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), which he modeled after the Organization of African Unity (OAU) that was very much engaged in the fight for African liberation in 1960's against European imperialism and colonialism. Let’s do the math Malcolm X officially joined the Nation of Islam in about 1951/1952 (although his Islamic conversion began in 1946) after being released from a Michigan State prison and he spent about twelve (12) years representing Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam as their top level minister. This writer does not think he had enough time to formulate a solid conversion to Sunni Orthodox Islam as many have maintained. He was assassinated on February 21, 1965. ( Reference: Clifton E. Marsh: From Black Muslim To Muslim).
Minister Malcolm X after his departure from the Nation of Islam; traveled to various countries in Africa as an official diplomatic guest, sharing in some of the African states newfound sovereignty and independence ceremonies. He also toured the Middle East meeting with Arab Islamic leaders and last, but not least he made Hajj to Mecca and changed his name to EL-Hajj Malik Shabazz and so-called renounced the teachings of Nation of Islam moreover, he was only out the Nation of Islam eleven (11) months before he was murdered. (Reference: William H. Banks: The Black Muslims).
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad made Hajj in 1959 to Mecca, Saudi Arabia and received a royal welcome from the Saudi Arabian Hajj committee. Minister Malcolm X was the one that set-up the Hajj trip for his teacher, Elijah Muhammad; interpreted to meaning Minister Malcolm X saw and witness Muslims in Egypt and other Islamic countries of all races and ethnic groups as early as 1959 (reference: Alex Haley and Malcolm X: The Autobiography of Malcolm X). Elijah Muhammad’s theology did not preclude him from making the greatest observance in Islam; Muhammad like all the thousands of others pilgrims who made the holy Pilgrimage to Mecca—circumambulated the Kaaba touched and kissed the black stone, which was place there by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. In addition, to Elijah Muhammad making Hajj, two of his sons, Herbert Muhammad presently known as Jabir Muhammad and his son Imam Warith Deen Mohammed (Leader of the Muslim American Mission) all made Hajj in 1959 adhering to the FIFTH PILLAR OF ISLAM. He went their as a Muslim and left there as a Muslim and continued to teach the Nation of Islam’s theological doctrine; moreover essentially Elijah Muhammad never submitted to Arabs (Sunni Islam) doctrine.(Reference: Nasir Makr Hakim: The History of Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah).
Lastly, Minister Malcolm X challenged the United States Government, white America and black America with speaking raw truth and used his voice to antagonize the status quo and advocated FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND EQUALITY for the least of these. Minister Malcolm X was a prophet—he was not consumed with materialism, status and appeasing the powers that-be because his critique and evaluation of the social, political and economic systems was harsh and unsympathetic. Minister Malcolm X understood that ninety-eight (98) percent of the world’s wealth is controlled by a measly one (1) percent of the population and he called for equal redistribution of the world’s wealth. This alone made him an enemy to the Power Elite, in which the corporate media maligned and demonized him as a militant hate teacher and radical in order to dismiss the truths he spoke. This writer does not buy for once that Minister Malcolm X was assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam; although there were Black Muslim triggermen. Nevertheless, the United States Government can not escape ultimate culpability in being in complicit with the assassins. Long Live the Spirit of Minister Malcolm X.
