"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.

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.

THE MONEY CHANGERS: THE FEDERAL RESERVE, ROBBERY BY DECEIT
THE MONEY CHANGERS: THE FEDERAL RESERVE, ROBBERY BY DECEIT”
By FAHIM A. KNIGHT-EL
The entire planet has been shammed by a minority one percent (1%) of the population who are far worst than Frank James and Jesse James two “infamous” bank robbers and outlaws or any other criminals we can name in world history, but at least we understood these stickup boys made it known to the victims that they were out to steal the money. They left no doubt their motive was strong arm robbery. The Federal Reserve System is truly a shadow government that operates outside the legal jurisdictional, democratic and Constitutional parameter upon which America was founded. The citizenry of this nation should be up in arms and outraged that this cartel of twelve Central Banks (that function invisible without boundaries) which are privately owned with no federal United States affiliation attached. This illegal cartel has the authority (power) to determine national, and international currencies values and ultimately the entire world is under their pulse and dictates. (Reference: “The World Order: It Will Change the Way You live” by Pat Roberson).
These money moguls have two motivations—profit and greed at the expense of the masses of the people that are viewed by them, as mere cannon fodder. Ralph Epperson in his book titled, “The New World Order” stated, “The use of secrecy to conceal thoughts from certain of the members of an organization or from the public is the device of those have something to hide. That something is so horrible, so terrible, that knowledge of that secret must be kept from those would have the most to lose by knowledge of that secret.” (Reference: “The New World Order” by Ralph Epperson).
On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Controller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON.
Former Congress McFadden stated, "This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime”. (Reference: Congressional Records May 23, 1933 Remarks by Representative Louis T. Mc Fadden).
There are present day members of the United States Congress who know that the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Act are illegal and unconstitutional, but none of them dare to speak out nor put forth a bill on the floor of congress to eradicate this unlawful cartel that has seize control over the United States monetary system because it would prove to be political suicide to take on Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, two chief front men for the MONEY CHANGERS.
The silence of our government relative to the Federal Reserve is clear indication that our leaders are in complicit either with the MONEY CHANGERS or are silent (which makes them co-conspirators) due to the OATHS that many of them have taking to protect and defend the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bildaberger, etc., which the majority of our governmental officials are card carrying members. You can not decode the MONEY CHANGERS without at least mentioning and understanding the relationship high finance has with these three organizations and a number of others like it, throughout the world. This has been a consistent theme in my last two articles titled, “The Hidden Hand and their Quest for World Domination” and “Who Rules America and Why do They Hide?” The best analogy is like hand (MONEY CHANGERS) and glove (Clandestine Brotherhood). (Reference: Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300” by John Coleman).
Carroll Quigley in his monumental book titled, “Tragedy and Hope” stated, “It was group of people, whose wealth and influence so exceeded their experience and understanding, who provided much of the framework of influence which the communist sympathizers and fellow travelers took over the United States in the 1930’s. It must be recognized that the power that these energetic left-wingers exercise was never their own power or communist power but was ultimately the power of the international financial coterie.”
This writer does not know who the terrorist are (well I am intelligent enough to know that is not the Islamic fundamentalist) and those that are labeled as such; perhaps received this label from those who actually orchestrated the 9-11 incident. Most people have been duped and deceived into believing that Osama Bin Laden and the Islamic fundamentalist were the "terrorist" and had no idea the MONEY CHANGERS are those who shape and mold public opinion (how we think is systematically devised by them) .
The 9-11 deception had multi-objectives, but it’s just wishful thinking to believe that most people in the United States and the world understood and recognized that the true "terrorist" had many disguises and we had been take in by master conmen. Thus, the MONEY CHANGERS uses powerful High Degree Freemasonry type organizations such as: Order of Illuminati, House of Rothschild, Skull and Bones, Anglo American Establishment, Priory of Sion, Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc., they serve as the political brokers for the MONEY CHANGERS. In addition, the Council on Foreign Relations is the most powerful organization in the United States and arguably in the world. (Reference: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen & Larry Abraham.
They used the September 11, 2001 incident to dismantle the financial accumulation of wealth that Arab Muslims had acquired and dispersed in foreign European Banks (many of these so-called Muslims were participating in a financial arena—money changing which was clearly anti-Islam). Furthermore, in many cases, after falsely labeling the nation and/or the personal depositor as being linked to terrorism, it made them easy targets of U.S. scrutiny and under the United States Patriot Act and the Military Commission Act they could be acted on. The MONEY CHANGERS have confiscated from allege Muslim terrorist billions of dollars and justified their rogue actions in name of so-called fighting terrorism and the MONEY CHANGERS were steadily filling their financial coffers with so-called terrorist money that was dripping in blood.
The United States Government do not have to even prove such allegations in order freeze or confiscate one’s currency, it only requires the cabal to utter one word, terrorism. But the term "blood money” which was being applied to the Arab/Muslims/Islam decoys as "terrorist" and their money was characterized by the cabal as "blood money" ,but that did not curtail the MONEY CHANGERS for committing thievery by deception.
However, Bush and boys would use the 9-11 hoax to rearrange the World and with the passing of the United States Patriot Act and Military Commission Act which gave them an official national and international license to freeze (STEAL) innocent individuals and nations money that had been held in United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, French, Hong Kong, South African, Israeli, Japan, etc., banks and no one would question their actions and motives. This writer suspects that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) does not cover bank funds that were stolen by the MONEY CHANGERS from allege “terrorist”.
The Swiss Banks are havens and serve as THE SECRETS OF THE TEMPLES (many of the MONEY CHANGERS secret meetings take place in Zurich, Switzerland) are controlled by the real terrorist, the Power Elite---David Rockefeller, Harry Oppenheimer, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Karl von Habsburg, Juan Carlos, Edgar M. Bronfman, Sr., Lord Peter Carrington who do not give a damn about 9-11 and/or any other world event they have orchestrated. PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT.
Mullins in “The Secret of the Federal Reserve” asked perhaps one the most essential questions, Who own the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks. “The dynastic families of the ruling World Order, internationalist who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockerfellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others known as the elite, or the big rich.”
This is a list of Banking Institutions (Central Banks)that ruled 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.
But above named MONEY CHANGERS have manipulated humanity by luring them to sleep with false concepts, deceit, treachery and bogus information in order to reign without opposition from the hoodwinked and misinformed masses who have no idea, they are pawns in the game. The MONEY CHANGERS crime is thievery by deception.
{Alan} “Greenspan represented the unbroken line of control of the Federal Reserve Systems by the firms represented at the secret meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910, where Henry P. Davidson, right-hand man of J.P. Morgan, was a key figure in the drafting of the Federal Reserve Act. Within days of taking over as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Greenspan immediately raised interest rate on Sept. 4, 1987, the first such increase in three years of general prosperity, and precipitated the stock market crash of Oct., 1987, Black Monday, when the Dow Jones average plunged 508 points. Under Greenspan’s direction, the Federal Reserve Board has steadily nudged the United States deeper and deeper into recession, without word of criticism from the complacent members in Congress”.
These same MONEY CHANGERS are constantly feeding the American people a large dose of political propaganda relative to Iran, in the same manner of how they lied about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction---George Bush, Dick Chaney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield, George Tenet, Paul Bremer, Paul Wolfowitz, Tom Ridge, etc. They used smoking mirrors and “tricknology” to sway the American people and the world in to believing that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent danger to western democracy and as he was being falsely accused of state sponsor terrorism; moreover, of course this intelligence was created by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Although, there was no proven or credible intelligence that linked Saddam Hussein to Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda movement or to any other so-called “terrorist cell”, it did not matter Bush was advocating (or should I say given orders) war for the warmongers and MONEY CHANGERS. The United States foreign policy in Iraq was centered on Oil, in which the MONEY CHANGERS imposed their military will and now are receiving huge financial dividends. They stole the second largest Oil Reserve in the world; yet, how does one account for the skyrocketing fuel prices plaguing the west? The occupation and colonization of Iraq, as well as the murder of over 1 million Iraqi’s citizens is a criminal act. Who will charge President George Bush with war crimes?
Iran is another Oil wealthy Islamic State and its President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad has been critical of United States Foreign policy in the Middle East region in particular on the Palestinian—Israeli conflict (Reference: “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” by Jimmy Carter) and State Department, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, etc. via the media is creating false propaganda and inciting the ignorant American masses to view Iran as a threat to United States National Security. Western media makes claim that President Ahmadinejad called into session on December 11 and 12, 2006, a two day Holocaust Conference in Tehran, Iran where he and the other presenters were accused of advocating anti-Semitism at the highest level and since that conference the powerful Israeli Lobby has used its influence in the United States Congress to isolate Iran and to impose economic sanctions against a segment of the Iranian military (Elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards). Some would argue that it is Zionist influence that guide U.S. Foreign Policy and will perhaps lead this nation in to another war, with the benefactors being the MONEY CHANGERS.
President Lee Bollinger of Columbia University under much opposition and criticism stood by the university’s invitation to allow President Ahmadinejad to speak at this prestigious Ivy League school on September 24, 2007. Bollinger took on President Ahmadinejad and it was evident that Bollinger was not an intellectual match for President Ahmadinejad; in fact, George Bush himself and all of the United States Congresspersons are no match for Ahmadinejad because he stands on truth and American politicians say and do what is politically expedient.
But when the paymasters gives their puppets orders, it is non-negotiable, they have an obligation to protect and defend the MONEY CHANGERS at all cost (no pun intended). President Ahmadinejad was in town (New York City) attending the 62nd session of the United Nations General Assembly and he made a formal request to the United States Government to lay a reef at ground zero, as a gesture of respect and in the spirit of humanity as a Head of State, but the low level operatives denied the request; perhaps at the instigation of those who rule America. President Ahmadinejad will now serve as the litmus test for the new would-be servant that in 2008 will wear the title president of the United States of America and the world.
The United States has had a political gripe with Iran since 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis and the coming of power of Ayatollah Khomeini who kicked the seven oil sisters out of Iran and instituted an Islamic theocracy and more importantly nationalized the Oil. The MONEY CHANGERS have never forgiving Iran for interfering with their huge oil profits and now are creating an illusion that Iran’s so-called quest to attain nuclear capability should be justification to declare war against the nation of Iran. But actually these vipers want control of the Iranian Oil fields and to further enrich these invisible dynastic families. (Reference: “Metal Men: Marc Rich and the 10 Billion Dollar Scam” by A. Craig Copetas).
William Cooper in his book titled, “Behold a Pale Horse” stated, “What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you." Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that could be used to INDUCE PEOPLE [We emphasis] (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchange for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show to his customers”.
Cooper goes on to state, “Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support”. (Reference: “Behold A Pale Horse” by William Cooper).
The uninformed masses would vehemently contest and oppose any notion that their exist an invisible government that operates outside laws, rules, jurisdictions, national and international constitutions, etc., and is cloak with the utmost sovereignty. They are only motivated by power and money (finance) and have covertly enslaved humanity by driving them to DEBT and modern day servitude. Black’s Law Dictionary defines money as being “the medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a government as part of its currency {coins and currency are money}. Assets that can be easily converted to cash…real money {is} money that has metallic or other intrinsic value, as distinguished from paper currency, checks and drafts”. Thus, keep the above point in mind, as this writer works to decode, unravel, disentangle, decipher, elucidate, etc., the money trail and how the MONEY CHANGERS duped us and has robbed the United States Government and its people blind. (Reference: “Black’s Law Dictionary; 7 edition; Edited by Bryan A. Garner).
This writer ordinarily do not make it a habit of quoting religious texts, but studying the Bible, Jesus the Christ over 2000 years ago acknowledge, exposed, condemned and chased the MONEY CHANGERS out of the Synagogue for he did not desire to have their corruptible influence and spirit in the sacred Temple.
The Bible stated, “Jesus went to Jerusalem; and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers money and overthrew the tables.” Although, Jesus had exposed the MONEY CHANGERS, they began to put on many disguises and would ultimately work under a cover of darkness. They have infiltrated every nation both past and present financial institutions and economies with one objective which to become the financial dictators and tyrants over humanity’s wealth.
These sovereign gods throughout history formulated creeds, oaths, rituals, and sacrament rites to ensure concealment, secrecy, confidentiality, etc., equivalent to Freemasonry type organizations and many cases Freemasonry acts as a front for the sovereign gods . The book of Ephesians in the Bible stated, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.” (Reference: “Turning The Key: Rituals of Freemasonry Revealed” by Robert Lomas and “The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus” by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas).
The American citizens, in particular and the world in general, have the slightest clue or idea that today’s money has no value and the Federal Reserve System that was established in 1913, along with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ensured this reality by putting the final touches on this financial coup d'état on behalf of the international private bankers who found a way to circumvent the United States Constitution by concocting policy and influencing legislation to position themselves as the LORDS OF MONEY AND FINANCE.
In the book titled, “The Biggest Secret” by David Icke he stated, “When it came to power, Roosevelt pulled off one of the biggest thefts in human history when he passed laws forcing the American people to hand over all their gold to the government in return for worthless pieces of paper known as Federal Reserve banknotes. This was necessary, he said, to solve the dire economic problems. Soon afterwards, with the American economy now completely under brotherhood control, Roosevelt put their symbol, the pyramid and the all seeing eye, on the dollar bill. He was saying to the American people: ‘Gotch-yer’ “
In his book titled, “The Synagogue of Satan” the author Ashahed Muhammad stated, “It's enough to say that two German Jews, Paul and Felix Warburg, and the international bankers of Europe, wined and dined a Senator, named Nelson Aldrich who was the maternal grandfather of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and they wined and dined him for two years, showing him the central banks of Europe. Senator Aldrich came back to America and was given the job of being a part of the national study of the national monetary system. Nelson Aldrich with Paul Warburg had a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia. And in that secret meeting, what came out of it was the basis of the Federal Reserve Act”. (Reference: “The Synagogue of Satan” by Ashahed M. Muhammad).
Perhaps it is mere coincidental or maybe not, but this writer could not overlook nor ignore the Jewish influence that seems to permeate this discussion of the Federal Reserve, High Finance, and the MONEY CHANGERS. This writer abhors and detest anti-Semitism, as well as any other form of racism and maybe we can distinguish this ever occurring trend as Zionism being practiced by a minority, but powerful sector of the Jewish Elite. The credibility of the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” or Henry Ford’s dissertation titled, “The International Jew”, it is not for me to make the case of the truth or the falsity relative to a conspiratorial Jewish cabal. But as a social scientist, we are required to make every attempt to answer the six basic questions of who, what, where, when, why and how; moreover, allow the research to be guided by the course of the facts and to serve as the moral compass in our investigation. (Reference: “The International Jew” by Henry Ford).
The MONEY CHANGERS robbed Fort Knox’s Kentucky of 60 years worth of gold and silver which was financial property belonging to the United States Treasury Department and ultimately to the American people (the every day taxpayers). Moreover, according to Encyclopedia Wikipedia. It stated, “The United States Bullion Depository holds approximately 4,570 tons of gold bullion (147.3 million ounces [1]). This is exceeded in the United States only by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's underground vault in Manhattan, which holds approximately 5,000 tons of gold in trust for many foreign nations, central banks and official international organizations. Some argue that the MONEY CHANGERS gave President Lyndon Johnson orders to move Fort Knox’s gold to London. Icke goes on to state, “The membership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs remains a secret, but it also includes people of the same positions and background in the United Kingdom and I stress the American CFR is subordinate to, and takes orders from, the Royal Institute in London.”
All the United States Tender (U.S. Dollars) use to be backed by the precious metals of gold and silver. Eustace Mullins stated, “Federal Reserve notes actually promissory notes, promise to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes.”
The Federal Reserve gets its money through "kiting". Kiting is defined as "getting money or credit by using bad checks". The U.S. Bureau of Engraving prints those Federal Notes (legal tender) which you carry. The Federal Reserve is allowed to buy these notes for one cent each! Using notes that cost them one cent, they buy millions of dollars in U.S. interest-bearing bonds. The bonds are deposited with the Comptroller of the Currency as security. The money you pay as federal income tax redeems (pays oft) the U.S. bonds. IRS Code, title 26 USCA states the income tax goes to redeem Federal Reserve.
There are currently two kinds of money in circulation: genuine silver coin minted before 1964 AD., and coins which do not contain silver. Yet the Constitution states in Article I, section 10 that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts". Congress does not have the power to coin money, Article 1, section 8, but since it can't make anything but gold and silver coins a ' tender for debts, nothing printed on paper is by Constitutional definition and federal law, legal tender or lawful money. This does not mean that personal checks, money orders and Federal Reserve kite notes are illegal. They are legal as long as they are convertible into lawful money (gold and silver). Yet, there is no law that says you must accept them if they are not redeemable in gold or silver coins. Therefore, any paper currency, not redeemable for lawful money at face value is not money. It's just as legal to use seashells, or stones as money as it is to use un-backed paper money! (Reference: “Leviathan 666” by Malachi Z. York).
The Central Banks and their financial emperors hijacked the United States currency ninety (94) years ago and the Federal Reserve System (a private group of Central Banks) were giving a license to print and issue United States currency at their discretion. The identities of the owners (CEO) of the Central Banks have remained a secret and will never be disclosed to the public.
This writer wonders do the American people asked themselves the questions, who do we owe these nine (9) trillion dollars, as far as addressing the national debt? They even give a figure that in order to resolve this debt each American would have to pay $29,944.72 Why do not these Central Bank emperors reveal themselves to the public? We are (meaning the entire world) in debt to the private international bankers who lends (sell and give orders on how much currency to print) money to the Federal Reserve at astronomical interest rates, which U.S. currency has no collateral backing as far as gold and silver. We should be preparing ourselves for one day the Central Banks/Money Changers are going call the debt in and it is going to be every man for himself and God for us all.
The Federal Reserve disguises itself as governmental agency that is operated and control under the auspices of the Executive Branch of government with oversight from the United States Congress (representatives of the American people), but in reality, the head of these Central Banks gives orders to the president and congress and answer to no one and the American taxpayers have been left holding the bag since 1913. The Constitution of the United States government stated, "Congress shall have the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof”. The regulation of money was not to fall into private hands for their own manipulation. This stipulation came about because wealthy bankers (many of whom are from foreign countries) have brought America deliberately into wars and depressions by the manipulation of currency and credit for their profit.
The U.S. dollar has become a medium of exchange with no value, it is only kept a float by strong United States political rhetoric and by the grace of the invisible MONEY CHANGERS who determines or should this writer say predetermine what the national and international stock markets success and failures are going to be. Thus, they give value to the, U.S. dollar, Yen, Rand, Hong Kong Dollar, CAD, Paso, Euro, Yuan, Frankfurt, etc., and determine the United States Stock Exchange trade indexes.
The establishment of the Federal Reserve System is unconstitutional and perhaps was the single most criminal act along with Federal Income Tax rules which both was found in 1913. Also, this writer has to rank the passing of the United States Patriot Act on the same plateau and equal in criminal intent, as was the establishment of the Federal Reserve. The United States people have handed over its monetary system to an Elite circle of Robber Barons and have compromised the sacred document known as the United States Constitution.
Eustace Mullins in his book titled, “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection” stated, “ The fact is that the government has never owned a single share Federal Reserve Bank stock. This charade stems from the fact that the. President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the name "Federal" from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an "elastic currency", read (rubber check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg founder and president of the International Acceptance Corporation and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Sec. 7 of Federal Reserve Act provides "Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived there from, shall be exempt from Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate."
This is the third article that this writer has written relative to revealing and exposing this power Elite; the first article was titled, “Who Rules America and Why Do They Hide?”, second article was titled, “The Hidden Hand and Their Quest For World Domination” and this third article titled, “The Money Changers: The Federal Reserve, Robbery by Deceit”. This might be my final article in this series, but this is not to suggest by any stretch that we have exhausted this subject. But who knows there is still so such much that needs to be uncovered and it would be considered derelict in my duty to the people, if this writer did not continue to use his pen to aid humanity in our quest for freedom, justice and equality.

STAY AWAKE UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,

The entire planet has been shammed by a minority one percent (1%) of the population who are far worst than Frank James and Jesse James two “infamous” bank robbers and outlaws or any other criminals we can name in world history, but at least we understood these stickup boys made it known to the victims that they were out to steal the money. They left no doubt their motive was strong arm robbery. The Federal Reserve System is truly a shadow government that operates outside the legal jurisdictional, democratic and Constitutional parameter upon which America was founded. The citizenry of this nation should be up in arms and outraged that this cartel of twelve Central Banks (that function invisible without boundaries) which are privately owned with no federal United States affiliation attached. This illegal cartel has the authority (power) to determine national, and international currencies values and ultimately the entire world is under their pulse and dictates. (Reference: “The World Order: It Will Change the Way You live” by Pat Roberson).
These money moguls have two motivations—profit and greed at the expense of the masses of the people that are viewed by them, as mere cannon fodder. Ralph Epperson in his book titled, “The New World Order” stated, “The use of secrecy to conceal thoughts from certain of the members of an organization or from the public is the device of those have something to hide. That something is so horrible, so terrible, that knowledge of that secret must be kept from those would have the most to lose by knowledge of that secret.” (Reference: “The New World Order” by Ralph Epperson).
On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Controller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON.
Former Congress McFadden stated, "This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime”. (Reference: Congressional Records May 23, 1933 Remarks by Representative Louis T. Mc Fadden).
There are present day members of the United States Congress who know that the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Act are illegal and unconstitutional, but none of them dare to speak out nor put forth a bill on the floor of congress to eradicate this unlawful cartel that has seize control over the United States monetary system because it would prove to be political suicide to take on Paul Volcker Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, two chief front men for the MONEY CHANGERS.
The silence of our government relative to the Federal Reserve is clear indication that our leaders are in complicit either with the MONEY CHANGERS or are silent (which makes them co-conspirators) due to the OATHS that many of them have taking to protect and defend the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bildaberger, etc., which the majority of our governmental officials are card carrying members. You can not decode the MONEY CHANGERS without at least mentioning and understanding the relationship high finance has with these three organizations and a number of others like it, throughout the world. This has been a consistent theme in my last two articles titled, “The Hidden Hand and their Quest for World Domination” and “Who Rules America and Why do They Hide?” The best analogy is like hand (MONEY CHANGERS) and glove (Clandestine Brotherhood). (Reference: Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300” by John Coleman).
Carroll Quigley in his monumental book titled, “Tragedy and Hope” stated, “It was group of people, whose wealth and influence so exceeded their experience and understanding, who provided much of the framework of influence which the communist sympathizers and fellow travelers took over the United States in the 1930’s. It must be recognized that the power that these energetic left-wingers exercise was never their own power or communist power but was ultimately the power of the international financial coterie.”
This writer does not know who the terrorist are (well I am intelligent enough to know that is not the Islamic fundamentalist) and those that are labeled as such; perhaps received this label from those who actually orchestrated the 9-11 incident. Most people have been duped and deceived into believing that Osama Bin Laden and the Islamic fundamentalist were the "terrorist" and had no idea the MONEY CHANGERS are those who shape and mold public opinion (how we think is systematically devised by them) .
The 9-11 deception had multi-objectives, but it’s just wishful thinking to believe that most people in the United States and the world understood and recognized that the true "terrorist" had many disguises and we had been take in by master conmen. Thus, the MONEY CHANGERS uses powerful High Degree Freemasonry type organizations such as: Order of Illuminati, House of Rothschild, Skull and Bones, Anglo American Establishment, Priory of Sion, Council on Foreign Relations, Club of Rome, Trilateral Commission, etc., they serve as the political brokers for the MONEY CHANGERS. In addition, the Council on Foreign Relations is the most powerful organization in the United States and arguably in the world. (Reference: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen & Larry Abraham.
They used the September 11, 2001 incident to dismantle the financial accumulation of wealth that Arab Muslims had acquired and dispersed in foreign European Banks (many of these so-called Muslims were participating in a financial arena—money changing which was clearly anti-Islam). Furthermore, in many cases, after falsely labeling the nation and/or the personal depositor as being linked to terrorism, it made them easy targets of U.S. scrutiny and under the United States Patriot Act and the Military Commission Act they could be acted on. The MONEY CHANGERS have confiscated from allege Muslim terrorist billions of dollars and justified their rogue actions in name of so-called fighting terrorism and the MONEY CHANGERS were steadily filling their financial coffers with so-called terrorist money that was dripping in blood.
The United States Government do not have to even prove such allegations in order freeze or confiscate one’s currency, it only requires the cabal to utter one word, terrorism. But the term "blood money” which was being applied to the Arab/Muslims/Islam decoys as "terrorist" and their money was characterized by the cabal as "blood money" ,but that did not curtail the MONEY CHANGERS for committing thievery by deception.
However, Bush and boys would use the 9-11 hoax to rearrange the World and with the passing of the United States Patriot Act and Military Commission Act which gave them an official national and international license to freeze (STEAL) innocent individuals and nations money that had been held in United States, Canadian, United Kingdom, French, Hong Kong, South African, Israeli, Japan, etc., banks and no one would question their actions and motives. This writer suspects that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) does not cover bank funds that were stolen by the MONEY CHANGERS from allege “terrorist”.
The Swiss Banks are havens and serve as THE SECRETS OF THE TEMPLES (many of the MONEY CHANGERS secret meetings take place in Zurich, Switzerland) are controlled by the real terrorist, the Power Elite---David Rockefeller, Harry Oppenheimer, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Karl von Habsburg, Juan Carlos, Edgar M. Bronfman, Sr., Lord Peter Carrington who do not give a damn about 9-11 and/or any other world event they have orchestrated. PROFIT, PROFIT, PROFIT.
Mullins in “The Secret of the Federal Reserve” asked perhaps one the most essential questions, Who own the stock of the Federal Reserve Banks. “The dynastic families of the ruling World Order, internationalist who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockerfellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others known as the elite, or the big rich.”
This is a list of Banking Institutions (Central Banks)that ruled 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.
But above named MONEY CHANGERS have manipulated humanity by luring them to sleep with false concepts, deceit, treachery and bogus information in order to reign without opposition from the hoodwinked and misinformed masses who have no idea, they are pawns in the game. The MONEY CHANGERS crime is thievery by deception.
{Alan} “Greenspan represented the unbroken line of control of the Federal Reserve Systems by the firms represented at the secret meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910, where Henry P. Davidson, right-hand man of J.P. Morgan, was a key figure in the drafting of the Federal Reserve Act. Within days of taking over as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Greenspan immediately raised interest rate on Sept. 4, 1987, the first such increase in three years of general prosperity, and precipitated the stock market crash of Oct., 1987, Black Monday, when the Dow Jones average plunged 508 points. Under Greenspan’s direction, the Federal Reserve Board has steadily nudged the United States deeper and deeper into recession, without word of criticism from the complacent members in Congress”.
These same MONEY CHANGERS are constantly feeding the American people a large dose of political propaganda relative to Iran, in the same manner of how they lied about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction---George Bush, Dick Chaney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield, George Tenet, Paul Bremer, Paul Wolfowitz, Tom Ridge, etc. They used smoking mirrors and “tricknology” to sway the American people and the world in to believing that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent danger to western democracy and as he was being falsely accused of state sponsor terrorism; moreover, of course this intelligence was created by the Central Intelligence Agency.
Although, there was no proven or credible intelligence that linked Saddam Hussein to Osama Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda movement or to any other so-called “terrorist cell”, it did not matter Bush was advocating (or should I say given orders) war for the warmongers and MONEY CHANGERS. The United States foreign policy in Iraq was centered on Oil, in which the MONEY CHANGERS imposed their military will and now are receiving huge financial dividends. They stole the second largest Oil Reserve in the world; yet, how does one account for the skyrocketing fuel prices plaguing the west? The occupation and colonization of Iraq, as well as the murder of over 1 million Iraqi’s citizens is a criminal act. Who will charge President George Bush with war crimes?
Iran is another Oil wealthy Islamic State and its President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad has been critical of United States Foreign policy in the Middle East region in particular on the Palestinian—Israeli conflict (Reference: “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” by Jimmy Carter) and State Department, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, etc. via the media is creating false propaganda and inciting the ignorant American masses to view Iran as a threat to United States National Security. Western media makes claim that President Ahmadinejad called into session on December 11 and 12, 2006, a two day Holocaust Conference in Tehran, Iran where he and the other presenters were accused of advocating anti-Semitism at the highest level and since that conference the powerful Israeli Lobby has used its influence in the United States Congress to isolate Iran and to impose economic sanctions against a segment of the Iranian military (Elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards). Some would argue that it is Zionist influence that guide U.S. Foreign Policy and will perhaps lead this nation in to another war, with the benefactors being the MONEY CHANGERS.
President Lee Bollinger of Columbia University under much opposition and criticism stood by the university’s invitation to allow President Ahmadinejad to speak at this prestigious Ivy League school on September 24, 2007. Bollinger took on President Ahmadinejad and it was evident that Bollinger was not an intellectual match for President Ahmadinejad; in fact, George Bush himself and all of the United States Congresspersons are no match for Ahmadinejad because he stands on truth and American politicians say and do what is politically expedient.
But when the paymasters gives their puppets orders, it is non-negotiable, they have an obligation to protect and defend the MONEY CHANGERS at all cost (no pun intended). President Ahmadinejad was in town (New York City) attending the 62nd session of the United Nations General Assembly and he made a formal request to the United States Government to lay a reef at ground zero, as a gesture of respect and in the spirit of humanity as a Head of State, but the low level operatives denied the request; perhaps at the instigation of those who rule America. President Ahmadinejad will now serve as the litmus test for the new would-be servant that in 2008 will wear the title president of the United States of America and the world.
The United States has had a political gripe with Iran since 1979 Iranian Hostage Crisis and the coming of power of Ayatollah Khomeini who kicked the seven oil sisters out of Iran and instituted an Islamic theocracy and more importantly nationalized the Oil. The MONEY CHANGERS have never forgiving Iran for interfering with their huge oil profits and now are creating an illusion that Iran’s so-called quest to attain nuclear capability should be justification to declare war against the nation of Iran. But actually these vipers want control of the Iranian Oil fields and to further enrich these invisible dynastic families. (Reference: “Metal Men: Marc Rich and the 10 Billion Dollar Scam” by A. Craig Copetas).

That principle is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you."

Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show to his customers”.
Cooper goes on to state, “Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individuals and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycle was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support”. (Reference: “Behold A Pale Horse” by William Cooper).
The uninformed masses would vehemently contest and oppose any notion that their exist an invisible government that operates outside laws, rules, jurisdictions, national and international constitutions, etc., and is cloak with the utmost sovereignty. They are only motivated by power and money (finance) and have covertly enslaved humanity by driving them to DEBT and modern day servitude. Black’s Law Dictionary defines money as being “the medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a government as part of its currency {coins and currency are money}. Assets that can be easily converted to cash…real money {is} money that has metallic or other intrinsic value, as distinguished from paper currency, checks and drafts”. Thus, keep the above point in mind, as this writer works to decode, unravel, disentangle, decipher, elucidate, etc., the money trail and how the MONEY CHANGERS duped us and has robbed the United States Government and its people blind. (Reference: “Black’s Law Dictionary; 7 edition; Edited by Bryan A. Garner).
This writer ordinarily do not make it a habit of quoting religious texts, but studying the Bible, Jesus the Christ over 2000 years ago acknowledge, exposed, condemned and chased the MONEY CHANGERS out of the Synagogue for he did not desire to have their corruptible influence and spirit in the sacred Temple.

These sovereign gods throughout history formulated creeds, oaths, rituals, and sacrament rites to ensure concealment, secrecy, confidentiality, etc., equivalent to Freemasonry type organizations and many cases Freemasonry acts as a front for the sovereign gods . The book of Ephesians in the Bible stated, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, AGAINST SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.” (Reference: “Turning The Key: Rituals of Freemasonry Revealed” by Robert Lomas and “The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus” by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas).
The American citizens, in particular and the world in general, have the slightest clue or idea that today’s money has no value and the Federal Reserve System that was established in 1913, along with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ensured this reality by putting the final touches on this financial coup d'état on behalf of the international private bankers who found a way to circumvent the United States Constitution by concocting policy and influencing legislation to position themselves as the LORDS OF MONEY AND FINANCE.
In the book titled, “The Biggest Secret” by David Icke he stated, “When it came to power, Roosevelt pulled off one of the biggest thefts in human history when he passed laws forcing the American people to hand over all their gold to the government in return for worthless pieces of paper known as Federal Reserve banknotes. This was necessary, he said, to solve the dire economic problems. Soon afterwards, with the American economy now completely under brotherhood control, Roosevelt put their symbol, the pyramid and the all seeing eye, on the dollar bill. He was saying to the American people: ‘Gotch-yer’ “
In his book titled, “The Synagogue of Satan” the author Ashahed Muhammad stated, “It's enough to say that two German Jews, Paul and Felix Warburg, and the international bankers of Europe, wined and dined a Senator, named Nelson Aldrich who was the maternal grandfather of Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and they wined and dined him for two years, showing him the central banks of Europe. Senator Aldrich came back to America and was given the job of being a part of the national study of the national monetary system. Nelson Aldrich with Paul Warburg had a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia. And in that secret meeting, what came out of it was the basis of the Federal Reserve Act”. (Reference: “The Synagogue of Satan” by Ashahed M. Muhammad).
Perhaps it is mere coincidental or maybe not, but this writer could not overlook nor ignore the Jewish influence that seems to permeate this discussion of the Federal Reserve, High Finance, and the MONEY CHANGERS. This writer abhors and detest anti-Semitism, as well as any other form of racism and maybe we can distinguish this ever occurring trend as Zionism being practiced by a minority, but powerful sector of the Jewish Elite. The credibility of the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” or Henry Ford’s dissertation titled, “The International Jew”, it is not for me to make the case of the truth or the falsity relative to a conspiratorial Jewish cabal. But as a social scientist, we are required to make every attempt to answer the six basic questions of who, what, where, when, why and how; moreover, allow the research to be guided by the course of the facts and to serve as the moral compass in our investigation. (Reference: “The International Jew” by Henry Ford).
The MONEY CHANGERS robbed Fort Knox’s Kentucky of 60 years worth of gold and silver which was financial property belonging to the United States Treasury Department and ultimately to the American people (the every day taxpayers). Moreover, according to Encyclopedia Wikipedia. It stated, “The United States Bullion Depository holds approximately 4,570 tons of gold bullion (147.3 million ounces [1]). This is exceeded in the United States only by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's underground vault in Manhattan, which holds approximately 5,000 tons of gold in trust for many foreign nations, central banks and official international organizations. Some argue that the MONEY CHANGERS gave President Lyndon Johnson orders to move Fort Knox’s gold to London. Icke goes on to state, “The membership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs remains a secret, but it also includes people of the same positions and background in the United Kingdom and I stress the American CFR is subordinate to, and takes orders from, the Royal Institute in London.”
All the United States Tender (U.S. Dollars) use to be backed by the precious metals of gold and silver. Eustace Mullins stated, “Federal Reserve notes actually promissory notes, promise to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes.”
The Federal Reserve gets its money through "kiting". Kiting is defined as "getting money or credit by using bad checks". The U.S. Bureau of Engraving prints those Federal Notes (legal tender) which you carry. The Federal Reserve is allowed to buy these notes for one cent each! Using notes that cost them one cent, they buy millions of dollars in U.S. interest-bearing bonds. The bonds are deposited with the Comptroller of the Currency as security. The money you pay as federal income tax redeems (pays oft) the U.S. bonds. IRS Code, title 26 USCA states the income tax goes to redeem Federal Reserve.
There are currently two kinds of money in circulation: genuine silver coin minted before 1964 AD., and coins which do not contain silver. Yet the Constitution states in Article I, section 10 that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts". Congress does not have the power to coin money, Article 1, section 8, but since it can't make anything but gold and silver coins a ' tender for debts, nothing printed on paper is by Constitutional definition and federal law, legal tender or lawful money. This does not mean that personal checks, money orders and Federal Reserve kite notes are illegal. They are legal as long as they are convertible into lawful money (gold and silver). Yet, there is no law that says you must accept them if they are not redeemable in gold or silver coins. Therefore, any paper currency, not redeemable for lawful money at face value is not money. It's just as legal to use seashells, or stones as money as it is to use un-backed paper money! (Reference: “Leviathan 666” by Malachi Z. York).
The Central Banks and their financial emperors hijacked the United States currency ninety (94) years ago and the Federal Reserve System (a private group of Central Banks) were giving a license to print and issue United States currency at their discretion. The identities of the owners (CEO) of the Central Banks have remained a secret and will never be disclosed to the public.
This writer wonders do the American people asked themselves the questions, who do we owe these nine (9) trillion dollars, as far as addressing the national debt? They even give a figure that in order to resolve this debt each American would have to pay $29,944.72 Why do not these Central Bank emperors reveal themselves to the public? We are (meaning the entire world) in debt to the private international bankers who lends (sell and give orders on how much currency to print) money to the Federal Reserve at astronomical interest rates, which U.S. currency has no collateral backing as far as gold and silver. We should be preparing ourselves for one day the Central Banks/Money Changers are going call the debt in and it is going to be every man for himself and God for us all.
The Federal Reserve disguises itself as governmental agency that is operated and control under the auspices of the Executive Branch of government with oversight from the United States Congress (representatives of the American people), but in reality, the head of these Central Banks gives orders to the president and congress and answer to no one and the American taxpayers have been left holding the bag since 1913. The Constitution of the United States government stated, "Congress shall have the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof”. The regulation of money was not to fall into private hands for their own manipulation. This stipulation came about because wealthy bankers (many of whom are from foreign countries) have brought America deliberately into wars and depressions by the manipulation of currency and credit for their profit.
The U.S. dollar has become a medium of exchange with no value, it is only kept a float by strong United States political rhetoric and by the grace of the invisible MONEY CHANGERS who determines or should this writer say predetermine what the national and international stock markets success and failures are going to be. Thus, they give value to the, U.S. dollar, Yen, Rand, Hong Kong Dollar, CAD, Paso, Euro, Yuan, Frankfurt, etc., and determine the United States Stock Exchange trade indexes.
The establishment of the Federal Reserve System is unconstitutional and perhaps was the single most criminal act along with Federal Income Tax rules which both was found in 1913. Also, this writer has to rank the passing of the United States Patriot Act on the same plateau and equal in criminal intent, as was the establishment of the Federal Reserve. The United States people have handed over its monetary system to an Elite circle of Robber Barons and have compromised the sacred document known as the United States Constitution.
Eustace Mullins in his book titled, “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection” stated, “ The fact is that the government has never owned a single share Federal Reserve Bank stock. This charade stems from the fact that the. President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the name "Federal" from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an "elastic currency", read (rubber check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg founder and president of the International Acceptance Corporation and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Sec. 7 of Federal Reserve Act provides "Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived there from, shall be exempt from Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate."
This is the third article that this writer has written relative to revealing and exposing this power Elite; the first article was titled, “Who Rules America and Why Do They Hide?”, second article was titled, “The Hidden Hand and Their Quest For World Domination” and this third article titled, “The Money Changers: The Federal Reserve, Robbery by Deceit”. This might be my final article in this series, but this is not to suggest by any stretch that we have exhausted this subject. But who knows there is still so such much that needs to be uncovered and it would be considered derelict in my duty to the people, if this writer did not continue to use his pen to aid humanity in our quest for freedom, justice and equality.

History, Hip-Hop, The Black Athlete: Old School Versus New School
HISTORY, HIP-HOP, THE BLACK ATHLETE: OLD SCHOOL VERSUS NEW SCHOOL”
By Fahim A. Knight
This article has been in the making since the Grand Jury indictment of Michael Vick, the former quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and his ultimate conviction for being involved in an illegal interstate dog fighting conspiracy. This writer desired to weigh-in on the Vick’s issue when the controversy first ensued back in July 2007, but could never quite figure out which approach or direction would be appropriate in evaluating and assessing the entire Vick scenario. Thus, was Vick’s conviction a matter of racism and/or was his offense that aloof from the law and his conviction was a matter of justice and nothing else. Mike Vick was one of the premier football players and quarterbacks in the National Football League having a net worth perhaps over 200 million dollars, but his high profile athletic career came to an abrupt end upon receiving an active Federal Prison Sentence for illegal dog fighting and obstruction of justice. Vick and I do have something in common, we share an attorney. I consider one of Vick’s lead attorneys a friend, Attorney James D. “Butch” Williams who practices law in Durham, NC and at some point, I know he and I will perhaps have an in depth discussion relative to Vick.
But on January 27, 2008, this writer received a quite interesting email from a comrade and friend named Kenny the moderator of KENNY’S SIDESHOW http://kennysideshow.blogspot.com/2008/05/so ; Kenny is doing big time work on his site and this writer am encouraging my KEEPING IT REAL think tank audience to visit Kenny’s site and share in his informative and provocative blog postings. Kenny who is Caucasian posed these set of questions to me relative to African-Americans and at the time this writer had no response to Kenny’s set of questions. This article is only a partial response to Kenny’s questions and is far from being a complete response. Kenny stated, “Here's another suggestion for an article. I often stumble in my words on this subject and need more definitive dialog.”
Kenny goes on to state, “I think the elite forces that try to control our world had and still have an agenda to repress the African American community regarding the creation of the welfare state. Round them up in public housing (concentration camps), give them a little money, destroy the family structure through the planned infiltration of drugs (CIA involved?) abortions, sterilizations etc. , put a liquor/beer store on the corner but no decent food store, put as many as possible in prison, destroy self esteem, create a subculture through music and movies that promotes all of this and even export it to the white community to speed up the decline throughout the entire culture, use agent provocateurs (paid by the FBI, etc. ) to perpetuate the black-white conflict. One could go on and on. I hope you understand what I'm getting at. There's a deeper history to this than what our kids are taught in school and what the media says and it needs to be told in detail.”
Michael Vick, the former Virginia Tech standout and the former Atlanta Falcons standout of the National Football League. He is the beneficiary of those African American quarterbacks that had gone before him such as: James Harris, Warren Moon, Doug Williams, Joe Gilliam, Vince Evans, Rodney Peete, Marlin Briscoe, Charlie “Choo Choo” Brackins, Andre Ware, John Walton, Willie Thrower, George Taliaferro, etc., thus, most of these black signal callers were ridiculed and malign by the white mass mediums and by racist fans. The Quarterback position was designated for white players and historically black quarterbacks supposedly did not have the intellectual quality or the leadership skills to guide a football team. These racist views dominated professional football perhaps until James Harris, a pocket passer that was drafted out of Grambling State University, a historical black college in 1969 by the Buffalo Bills and later would make his mark with the Los Angles Rams from 1973-1976.
Harris performances with the Rams proved that black quarterbacks had the intellectual I.Q. to lead and manage a team. The National Football League teams that did draft black quarterbacks were quick to transform them into tailbacks, wide receivers or defensive backs, as opposed to allowing them to play and compete for the coveted quarterback position, which oftentimes was giving to a less intelligent and less athletic white player. National Football League like all professional sports was shaped by racism and discrimination (why do not behind the lines ESPN do an investigative story on racism and black quarterback from an historical perspective?).
This writer sought of grew-up watching and admiring Joe “Jefferson Street” Gilliam a flashy black quarterback out of Tennessee State University (TSU) and I think at that time TSU was playing in the African American-- South Western Athletic Conference (SWAC). Gilliam was drafted in 1972 by the Pittsburgh Steelers and I was in my teens, but I can vividly recall his flair and his on field charisma (he wore white cleats, white towel, risk bands, etc.) and I use to try to imitate his athletic skills and personality. Thus, looking back on my admiration for “Jefferson Street” perhaps my adoration for him stemmed from the fact that I was black and had I experienced the death of Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1968 rebellions in the city of Newark, New Jersey and I can recalled the United States National Guards patrolling, as well as, witnessing the social, political and economic infrastructure collapse in Newark. The death of Martin Luther King, Jr., left a void and we were looking for another positive black image to fulfill this sense of emptiness created by King’s assassination.
Thus, in the early 1970’s it was refreshing for me to see and identify with a black quarterback image like “Jefferson Street” Gilliam and for a brief while in 1972 he became the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers due the NFL players strike and Terry Bradshaw being injured. Also my high school back then was named South Side School, but when I attended black people had fought to rename it Malcolm X Shabazz High School, it was coincidental and ironic that my high schools colors were black and gold, the same as the Pittsburgh Steelers. My childhood hero “Jefferson Street” would eventually succumb to drugs and alcohol and prior to his death in 2000 had many brushes with the law. He never recuperated from being benched after leading the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record and that same year Terry Bradshaw led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory. This writer thinks Jefferson believed he had earned the right to lead the Steelers and that the politics of race had entered into him being benched.
This writer also during the early to mid 70’s was following the career of a great athletic alumnus of my high school named Willie Morris who was a wide receiver and was recruited by the University of Pittsburgh Panthers and played with Tony Dorsett during that National Champion season. This writer’s political perspective was not well defined during this time period although; he had heard the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, at Muhammad’s Temple of Islam number 25 in Newark, New Jersey. This writer has always admired Jim Brown the NFL football Hall of Fame running back who has always stood out as being much more than an athlete, he was intelligent, defiant, strong willed, opinionated and yes tremendously talented as a running back with Cleveland Browns. I was too young to have followed Jim Brown’s football career on the field, but his political disposition resonated with me. I have always viewed him as a no nonsense black man that stood on high principles.
Then of course, there was the west coast sociologist Harry Edwards a black intellectual and academician that challenged white supremacy on all levels. This writer read about the 1968 Olympic Games held in Mexico City, where Tommy Smith and John Carlos stood at the medal ceremony and raised their fist covered by a black glove in support and solidarity of the Black Power Movement of the 1960’s as a symbol of protest. I also read about at this same Olympic Games gold medalist boxer George Foremen (former heavy weight champion of the world) grab the American flag to demonstrate his patriotism.
This writer read about in 1969, how Curt Flood challenged Major League Baseball free agency and reserve clause and took his case to the United States Supreme Court (although he lost in this decision) which today’s baseball players and all professional athletes are the beneficiaries and recipients of Flood’s activism as it pertains to players right to free agency. This writer also grew up watching and loving Muhammad Ali, a boxer by profession and a social activist by conviction. He went into the boxing ring as Cassius Clay out of Louisville, Kentucky and in the early 1960’s was introduced to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad where he evolved into Muhammad Ali and the Islamic religion forever altered Ali’s life. He became a social icon and 1967 took a revolutionary stance against U.S aggression and the fighting in the Vietnam War and because of his conscientious objector stance he was ridiculed and condemn by a large segment of white America as being unpatriotic and un-American. (Reference: Edna and Art Rust, Jr.: Art Rust Illustrated History of the Black Athlete).
Athletes have always been viewed by the white elite as tools of entertainment and not as independent thinkers capable of making off the playing field decisions contrary to their dictates. Muhammad Ali was articulate and politically inspired who used his high profile athletic image as a former gold medalist and heavy weight champion of the world to challenge the United States Foreign Policy in Southeast Asia during the 1960’s. Ali was truly a different type of athlete. Ali was convicted in 1967 of refusing draft induction into the United States Arm Forces and sentenced to five years imprisonment, but the United Supreme Court eventually overturned this conviction. Ali’s dissent and defiance became somewhat of a symbol of what the black athlete could be, if they were armed with the proper information and knowledge.
Perhaps the culture and the social, economic and political environment dictates human behavior to a greater extent and influence the circumference and diameter of our thinking. The Hip Hop Culture has been a culture inspired by an art form---mainly Rap Music and the question always arise, does the art formulate independently of the dominant culture or does art becomes a voice of expression relative to conciliatory or contradictory interpretation. Frantz Fanon authored of two monumental books titled, “Black Skin, White Mask” and “The Wretched of the Earth” he stated that essentially each generation has the choice to honor and continue our history and struggle or betray it. Some years ago I was in a debate with Jamil Abdullah AL-Amin (formerly H. Rapp Brown), the former Black Panther Party member and Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, chairman. Al-Amin said to me brother “Culture is necessary, but it is not sufficient” it took me over twenty years to truly understand what AL-Amin meant; that was perhaps in 1989. (Reference: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin: Revolution by the Book).
Damien Ty Jackson in his book titled, “The Hip Hop Tree: Seeds, Essays and Thoughts” stated, “No forms of culture expression unfold in a vacuum. Instead, they are informed and shape by a combination of interacting social forces that surround and precede them. Clearly, this is the case with Hip-Hop whose seeds were sown long ago in a faraway land most African-Americans still acknowledge as ‘home’. As with blues, jazz, gospel and R&B, the influences of our African origins are still with us in the form of beats, rhythms, chants, dance, oral traditions, and other musical innovations and tendencies.” (Reference: Damien Ty Jackson: The Hip Hop Tree: Seeds, Essays and Thoughts).
The study of history develops the springs and motives of human actions. History serves as much more than the studying of dates and events, but as a bridging of one generational experience to another, which is physically and psychological passed on historically and in a peoples DNA. History instills inspiration, motivation, and self-esteem into a people; moreover, it connects a people to their contributions made toward civilization and human advancement. This is the discipline that builds the will of a people and encourages them to go forward. African people living in America had a brilliant and glorious history before and after Chattel Slavery (1555-1865). (Reference: John G. Jackson: The Study of African Civilization).
Those that control institutions recognize that they must forever hide the true past of African people in order to keep them sleep to the knowledge of self. History is like a trumpet, when it is sound, the asleep must rise. African Americans were put to sleep during the period of Chattel Slavery; denied the right to read and write which to pursue an intellectual exchange of ideas and denied the God given right to acquire the knowledge of self. The slave masters deprived African people of the opportunity to develop a true value system—folkway, mores, cultural system, etc. The study of our history is one way to correct this deplorable mental state of amnesia that African Americans are presently experiencing. We not only lost our historical memory but was disposed of our intellectual faculties, to even find our home which is Africa. We are silently crying out for Zion---this lost home that has been forsaking by 30—million black people in America and hundreds of millions located throughout the diaspora. (Reference: Del Jones: The Black Holocaust: Global Genocide).
The Holy Bible in Psalms 137 gives us the true meaning of a people being disconnected from their homeland and there are none more fitting this scripture than the black man and woman of America, it stated: “By the rivers in Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”
A crime took place, which was one of the greatest criminal acts ever committed against a people and it does not matter how the descendents of the perpetrators (Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, United States, Belgium, Germany, France, etc.) seeks to disguise their denial, we the descendents are the living testimony and the victims of this heinous criminal act. We were robbed of the knowledge of self and to continue to identify with the perpetrators history and culture is insanity. This is evident by the surnames (slave master’s names we continue to carry) McCrae, Smith, Johnson, Jones, Brown, Baldwin, Richards, etc., are not indigenous African names, but they belong to another man’s culture. How can we, African Americans claim to be free and have never divorced themselves from the slave master’s names? (Reference: Hugh Thomas: The Slave Trade: The Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade; 1440-1870).
It is not the norm to find a Korean or Chinese wearing the names "Greg Fatback", "Larry Hamhock", "Darius Shorten bread", etc., because these alien names do not reflect their East Asian culture and heritage. History asked the six basic questions of who, what, where, when, how and why; moreover we have traditionally responded to the above questions with Eurocentric answers. Non-traditional scholars such as Dr. Josef Ben A. A. Johannon, Drusilla Dunjee Houston, Cheik Anta Diop, John G. Jackson, Asa Hilliard, George G. M. James, etc., have worked to redefine history, by rescuing African history from misconceptions, half-truths and outright lies.
History builds patriotism and nationalism by instilling pride and self-worth in a people that is reflected of past accomplishments which should be past down culturally, in which to always remind a people of their obligation to make every generation aware of their glorious past and use it to inspire the born and unborn generations to aspire to create new history. We as African Americans should work to retain the best national and international attorneys in the world and plead our slavery case within the international courts. The African Holocaust involved numerous criminal acts ranging from kidnap, rape, murder, assault, conspiracy. (Reference: John Henrik Clarke: Christopher Columbus and the African Holocaust).
LL Cool J in his book titled, “I Make My Own Rules” stated, “. . . Being African American in the United States, which is a strange paradox. We’re of African descent but don’t learn enough about what African is. And, because of certain racist sectors, we’re not always 100 percent accepted as Americans. Our people have been forced-fed an American culture and taught to hate themselves. But inside them African culture is brewing, because it’s never been fully realized. . . . Other groups in America—the Italians, the Jews, the Asians, the Irish—know where they came from and what their culture is about. And it makes it easier for them to embrace America on their own terms. It’s not an either/or situation. Too many black people are struggling to fit an African key into an American lock. I just doesn’t fit sometimes. We’ve got to learn to embrace our culture before we can be confident—and accepted—as Americans and make that key fit. Not all African history is great—Africans participated in the slave trade. But a lot of it is great. And we have to be real about that too.” (Reference: LL Cool J: I Make My Own Rules).
This present day generation had to rely on Pop Culture images from the Hip-Hop Culture as their leaders who were more commercialized and manufactured—products of studio images and who were for the most part actors and many of them lacked the social conviction that my Old School generation came to admire in their leaders. These new voices appeared to be more of the problem than the solution. However this writer can recall the Hip-Hop group Public Enemy (PE), in which some of its members were inspired by the Nation of Islam's leaders Minister Louis Farrakhan and Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad and it was reflected in their lyrics, a social militancy, possessing a combination of Black Islamic nationalism and Black Power themes, consistent with the ideology of the Black Panther Party model type-----stage image (with the paramilitary uniforms reflective of both the Fruit of Islam and the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense) of the 1960s and 1970s that were worn by its charismatic leaders Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale and, Eldridge Cleaver.
Public Enemy was actually a throwback type group that had borrowed the social rhythms of the Last Poets and the likes of Gill Scott Heron. Public Enemy had captivated young African -Americans imagination with meaningful lyrics possessing messages of personal and community empowerment. They introduced Minister Malcolm X (1925-1965) to a generation of Hip-Hoppers who knew, little too nothing about the slain martyr Civil Rights leader that taught a militant and radical political message that perhaps resonated with these young Hip-Hopper’s fathers and mothers two to three decades ago. PE was using their large stage to educate young African-Americans beyond the message and lyrics of selling dope, killing, sex and raunchy language that denigrated women and glamorized criminal behavior.
These young poets were actually wearing two hats—Entertainers and Social Activist simultaneously. They were more of the latter than the former—they were in harmony with the social, political and economic plight of the African-American community. Michael Eric Dyson in his book titled, “Between God and Gangsta Rap” Stated, “Public Enemy is hands down, the most influential and important group in the history of hip-hop. By roughly stitching together contrapuntal noise and prophetic rabble-rousing, the avant-garde group quickly became rap’s conscience. The contrast personalities of PE’s duo—straight-man and heavy-duty lyricist Chuck D and trickster sidekick Flavor Flav—play off of one another to great effect. PE’s work. Into toto has confronted, and times embodied, most of the conflicts faced by young blacks over the last decade. Racist white media and sellout bourgeoisie. Black-Jewish relations and the woes of interracial relations. The narrowness of black radio and the betrayal of blacks by dope dealers.” (Reference: Michael Eric Dyson: Between God and Gangsta Rap).
Lerone Bennett once stated, "He who controls images, controls minds, he who control minds has no fear bodies." PE was positively altering minds and used their music as a moral, ethical, political, and spiritual tool, etc., that focused on liberation; not senseless violence and glamorized “gansterism;” where middle class Hip-Hop artists are rapping and singing about living in public housing and being involved in drive-by shootings and rapping about gang affiliation and gangbanging. But a deeper look into some of these "wanna-be" Hip-Hop artists backgrounds, you will find that many of them were raised in suburban upscale communities, attended private schools, raised in two parents homes and lived an incubated bourgeoisie life style.
Russell Simmons, better known as the CEO of Hip-Hop (Def Jam Records, Phat Farm, and Def Comedy Jam), is perhaps one of the most brilliant minds that helped to bring Rap and Hip-Hop to the era of transcending the mom and pop enterprise; moreover, to a billion dollar entertainment industry. Thus, in his book titled, “Do You: 12 Laws to Access The Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success stated, “That’s how Hip-Hop started—poor kids with nothing, rhyming about having everything. But over the years it’s evolved to the point where that artistic attitude has transformed into a very successful business model. No one can argue that Hip-Hop hasn’t created a new way of doing business in the country. It’s proven that a bunch of kids who didn’t go to business school, who don’t have MBAs, and who don’t speak ‘proper’ English can still make a lot of money. Despite their apparent lack of sophistication and training, they can still create thriving businesses, companies that leave the rest of corporate America playing catch-up.” (Reference: Russell Simmons: Do You: 12 Laws to Access The Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success).
Some would argue that these young music entrepreneurs are only capitalizing off the market trend----they are saying and singing what sells----sadly our culture has digressed to sex and violence, which has become extremely marketable and profitable in the United States and around the world. Moreover, those that control the music industry, the POWERS THAT-BE had decided that there wouldn’t be a long standing platform for the social lyrics like the type PE sang and advocated because to much of a positive agenda was negatively impacting big business—drug culture, tobacco sells, alcohol, etc. The dealers of death in the black community could not allow this type message to take root amongst the poor and oppressed because it was bad for legal and illegal business.
PE and one of its lead artist Professor Griff who was probably a registered Muslim in the Nation of Islam and if not, was definitely a committed sympathizer to the politico-theological teachings of its controversial leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. Professor Griff probably was the information guru of PE, the real mindset behind the on stage intellect and social presences. Minister Farrakhan in 1985 spoke to over 35, 000 black people at Madison Square in New York City amidst heavy opposition from the Zionist Jews and Mayor Edward Koch. Thus, after the Jesse Jackson 1984 run for the office of president of the United States, which Jackson was forced to repudiate Farrakhan for making allege anti-Semitic remarks, in the same manner presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama is being forced to repudiate his minister, Jeremiah Wright for making allege anti-American remarks. History is cyclical. Minister Farrakhan in the mid-1980s became the preeminent black leader and voice of black America and furthered solidified that rank with his garnishing over 1.5 million black men to Washington D.C at the Million Man March. (Reference: Cornel West and Michael Lerner: Jews and Blacks: Let the Healing Begin).
Chuck D in his book titled, “Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality stated, “By that time we had already done, ‘Bring the Noise’, and ‘Don’t Believe the Hype.’ My initial goal of working with the SW1, especially those heavily oriented in the Nation{of Islam}, was to use my lyrics to help clean up the bullshit hype that had come out about Minister Louis Farrakhan that started after the New York Post article. I felt through popular music and entertainment I could help bring his name into a positive light and have white kids singing a song with Farrakhan’s name in it, and we could change the whole complexion of how he was being looked at. Minister Farrakhan was gaining so much momentum in 1984 that when the Post came out with that bullshit story about ‘Farrakhan Says Hitler Was a Great Man’—when, as suggested buried in the text of the article, he actually described how Hitler’s greatness was used for wicked purpose—their wicked reporting turned the whole Nation movement back. When ‘Bring the Noise’ came out and said, ‘Farrakhan’s a prophet I think you ought to listen to,’ and ‘Don’t Believe the Hype’, said, ‘A follower of Farrakhan, don’t tell that you understand, until you hear the man,’ we actually had white listeners wanting to get into the mind-set of Minister Farrakhan and look at his words for themselves and discover that he wasn’t what they heard he was.” (Reference: Chuck D: Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality).
The Anti Defamation League (ADL) and the Jewish Defense League (JDL) had labeled the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan as being anti-Semitic. Moreover, Public Enemy was viewed by the Jews (not all Jews, but those of the Zionist persuasion) as representing the voice and public image of the Nation of Islam whom they had falsely labeled as being anti-Semitic. They worked to separate PE from the Nation of Islam by using some words Professor Griff had spoken, which they played sound bites accusing the embattled Rap artist of anti-Semitism. PE never recovered to their former glory after the anti-Semitism allegations and eventually Chuck-D was forced to repudiate his friend and comrade Professor Griff. (Reference: Chuck D: Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality).
This writer must admit on the subject of Rap music and hip-hop I am way over my head, but I knew PE was special and we probably have not had a hip-hop group with the kind of social lyrical implications since PE. It is difficult today to see former PE star Flavor Flav “buffoning” and clowning and being reactionary to what he represented in the 1980s. Black men between the ages of 16-25 are being murdered (black on black homicides) at an alarming rate. The music continues to glamorize guns and drugs. Where are the positive images? Marcus Garvey, Fannie Lou Hamer, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Bishop Mc Neil Turner, Martin Luther King, Jr. Queen Mother Moore, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Huey P. Newton, Harriet Tubman, WEB Dubois, Booker T. Washington, Martin Delaney, Kwame Ture, etc. (Reference: William P. Benjamin: African Americans in the Criminal Justice System).
No positive images creates disillusionment and this is why a black high profile celebrity athlete like a Mike Vick that had just signed over 130 million dollar contract with the Atlanta Falcons and by way of some poor decisions suffered the same fate of most black men that have gotten entangled in the criminal justice and judicial system—prison; perhaps Vick believed the hype being sang and the thug life ethos that is over dramatized in the Rap Music and the Hip-Hop Culture. The blame can not be totally placed on these young African-Americans, if the truth be told, we failed them, and they were our responsibility to be intellectually nurtured and guided on the right path. The National Urban League gives an annual report each year of the state of black America and Tavis Smiley host The State of the Black Union with all his corporate funding holds a symposium every year where he galvanized some of the best and brilliant black intellectuals in America—to do what? Talk about the problem. The problem has been well defined since 1865, but we are short on solutions.
Black youth are left to choose between a concept of East Coast Rap (personified in the late Biggie Smalls—The Notorious B.I.G) and West Coast (personified by the late Tupac Shakur) as ideological metaphors for internal destruction. While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Tavis Smiley continues to have huge conferences in big convention hotels and black America continues to suffer. Know wonder our Hip-Hop artists have to reinvent images because of our negligence to do so. Mariam Jones, a five time gold medalist winner and Michael Vick an NFL All Star Quarterback are both in custody under the United States Bureau of Prisons. They both were let down by a society that failed them and this is not to overlook personal responsibility. (Reference: Michael Eric Dyson: Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur).
Maybe is mere nostalgic on my part, but, I truly missed PE----the revolutionary lyrics and those images of defiance----the message was clear and meaningful. This writer knows and understands that art can not be defined by the lens and vision of one person and/or a group of persons; it has no definition boundaries, art means different things to different people. I first heard the Sugar Hill Gang and Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, Run DMC in the late 1970s early 80s. I can vividly recall people calling WBLS radio station in New York City requesting that they play Sugar Hill Gang single “Rapper’s Delight” over and over again. The legendary Frankie Crocker was behind the mic, doing his thing. This "new" music was refreshing and the beat and rhythm did something for the soul.
Jay-Z is a Hip-Hop mogul that has made huge sums of money and is revered as a Hip-Hop icon, but he (Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, 50 Cent, Reverend Run, etc.) is far from being the social presences of KRS-ONE and PE, but that is not to say the likes of Most Def, Common, Talib Kweli, etc, hasn’t embraced that social and political calling. There was something happening internally in the late 1980s and early 1990s when these young artists were sampling Minister Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton speeches, this type of political education heighten the social awareness and it took Hip-Hop to another level, a level we have yet to duplicate. There have been other artists such as Wu Tang Clan, OutKast, Nas, Erykah Badu, etc., that may have come under the influence of the teachings of the Original Five Percent Nation----called the Gods and Earth's.
This group evolved from the Nation of Islam, which its founder in 1964 Clarence 13 X Smith was member of Temple Number 7 in New York City under Minister Malcolm X. The Gods and Earth's teaching has resonated amongst some Hip-Hop artists-----they pull from the "Supreme Mathematics" Lessons and “Student Enrollment” lessons that were taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. They understand divine numerology, Islam, mystic philosophy, high science-----they teach on the 120 degrees multiplied times 3, you then have the 360 degrees; thus, complete knowledge is liken to a circle. Many Hip-Hop artists have embraced the Five Percent Philosophy and for those who know what they are listen to can easily detect its message coded in Rap lyrics. (Reference: Malachi Z. York: The Problem Book: In the Name of Allah).
Hip-Hop and Rap have truly transcended cultures, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc., it is a universal language spoken across the globe. Moreover, after the Don Imus debacle; where he verbally insulted, the predominantly African-Americans Rutgers University women's basketball team by referring to them as "nappy headed whores”. Thereafter, a debate pursued about the language the Hip-Hop artists themselves were using that was equally degrading to African-American women. I believe the NAACP went on a silly crusade to bury the "N" word and has not offered any real solutions to black suffering and misery. Russell Simmons of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network has also been doing yeoman's work with Hip-Hop artists as far as encouraging them to work toward cleaning Hip-Hop music up. He has teamed up with Minister Benjamin F. Muhammad (formerly known as Reverend Benjamin Chavis) and has been engaged in positive dialog with Hip-Hop artists around the country.
My comrade brother Paul Scott, the moderator of NO WARNING SHOTS FIRED blog site http://nowarningshotsfired.blogspot.com/ is without doubt, a much more verse Hip-Hop historian and Rap musicologist than I. This writer encourages his audience to view Brother Scott's blog because he has been analyzing Hip-Hop music for over a decade and has a serious inside perspective.

This article has been in the making since the Grand Jury indictment of Michael Vick, the former quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and his ultimate conviction for being involved in an illegal interstate dog fighting conspiracy. This writer desired to weigh-in on the Vick’s issue when the controversy first ensued back in July 2007, but could never quite figure out which approach or direction would be appropriate in evaluating and assessing the entire Vick scenario. Thus, was Vick’s conviction a matter of racism and/or was his offense that aloof from the law and his conviction was a matter of justice and nothing else. Mike Vick was one of the premier football players and quarterbacks in the National Football League having a net worth perhaps over 200 million dollars, but his high profile athletic career came to an abrupt end upon receiving an active Federal Prison Sentence for illegal dog fighting and obstruction of justice. Vick and I do have something in common, we share an attorney. I consider one of Vick’s lead attorneys a friend, Attorney James D. “Butch” Williams who practices law in Durham, NC and at some point, I know he and I will perhaps have an in depth discussion relative to Vick.
But on January 27, 2008, this writer received a quite interesting email from a comrade and friend named Kenny the moderator of KENNY’S SIDESHOW http://kennysideshow.blogspot.com/2008/05/so ; Kenny is doing big time work on his site and this writer am encouraging my KEEPING IT REAL think tank audience to visit Kenny’s site and share in his informative and provocative blog postings. Kenny who is Caucasian posed these set of questions to me relative to African-Americans and at the time this writer had no response to Kenny’s set of questions. This article is only a partial response to Kenny’s questions and is far from being a complete response. Kenny stated, “Here's another suggestion for an article. I often stumble in my words on this subject and need more definitive dialog.”
Kenny goes on to state, “I think the elite forces that try to control our world had and still have an agenda to repress the African American community regarding the creation of the welfare state. Round them up in public housing (concentration camps), give them a little money, destroy the family structure through the planned infiltration of drugs (CIA involved?) abortions, sterilizations etc. , put a liquor/beer store on the corner but no decent food store, put as many as possible in prison, destroy self esteem, create a subculture through music and movies that promotes all of this and even export it to the white community to speed up the decline throughout the entire culture, use agent provocateurs (paid by the FBI, etc. ) to perpetuate the black-white conflict. One could go on and on. I hope you understand what I'm getting at. There's a deeper history to this than what our kids are taught in school and what the media says and it needs to be told in detail.”
Michael Vick, the former Virginia Tech standout and the former Atlanta Falcons standout of the National Football League. He is the beneficiary of those African American quarterbacks that had gone before him such as: James Harris, Warren Moon, Doug Williams, Joe Gilliam, Vince Evans, Rodney Peete, Marlin Briscoe, Charlie “Choo Choo” Brackins, Andre Ware, John Walton, Willie Thrower, George Taliaferro, etc., thus, most of these black signal callers were ridiculed and malign by the white mass mediums and by racist fans. The Quarterback position was designated for white players and historically black quarterbacks supposedly did not have the intellectual quality or the leadership skills to guide a football team. These racist views dominated professional football perhaps until James Harris, a pocket passer that was drafted out of Grambling State University, a historical black college in 1969 by the Buffalo Bills and later would make his mark with the Los Angles Rams from 1973-1976.
Harris performances with the Rams proved that black quarterbacks had the intellectual I.Q. to lead and manage a team. The National Football League teams that did draft black quarterbacks were quick to transform them into tailbacks, wide receivers or defensive backs, as opposed to allowing them to play and compete for the coveted quarterback position, which oftentimes was giving to a less intelligent and less athletic white player. National Football League like all professional sports was shaped by racism and discrimination (why do not behind the lines ESPN do an investigative story on racism and black quarterback from an historical perspective?).
This writer sought of grew-up watching and admiring Joe “Jefferson Street” Gilliam a flashy black quarterback out of Tennessee State University (TSU) and I think at that time TSU was playing in the African American-- South Western Athletic Conference (SWAC). Gilliam was drafted in 1972 by the Pittsburgh Steelers and I was in my teens, but I can vividly recall his flair and his on field charisma (he wore white cleats, white towel, risk bands, etc.) and I use to try to imitate his athletic skills and personality. Thus, looking back on my admiration for “Jefferson Street” perhaps my adoration for him stemmed from the fact that I was black and had I experienced the death of Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1968 rebellions in the city of Newark, New Jersey and I can recalled the United States National Guards patrolling, as well as, witnessing the social, political and economic infrastructure collapse in Newark. The death of Martin Luther King, Jr., left a void and we were looking for another positive black image to fulfill this sense of emptiness created by King’s assassination.
Thus, in the early 1970’s it was refreshing for me to see and identify with a black quarterback image like “Jefferson Street” Gilliam and for a brief while in 1972 he became the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers due the NFL players strike and Terry Bradshaw being injured. Also my high school back then was named South Side School, but when I attended black people had fought to rename it Malcolm X Shabazz High School, it was coincidental and ironic that my high schools colors were black and gold, the same as the Pittsburgh Steelers. My childhood hero “Jefferson Street” would eventually succumb to drugs and alcohol and prior to his death in 2000 had many brushes with the law. He never recuperated from being benched after leading the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record and that same year Terry Bradshaw led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory. This writer thinks Jefferson believed he had earned the right to lead the Steelers and that the politics of race had entered into him being benched.
This writer also during the early to mid 70’s was following the career of a great athletic alumnus of my high school named Willie Morris who was a wide receiver and was recruited by the University of Pittsburgh Panthers and played with Tony Dorsett during that National Champion season. This writer’s political perspective was not well defined during this time period although; he had heard the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, at Muhammad’s Temple of Islam number 25 in Newark, New Jersey. This writer has always admired Jim Brown the NFL football Hall of Fame running back who has always stood out as being much more than an athlete, he was intelligent, defiant, strong willed, opinionated and yes tremendously talented as a running back with Cleveland Browns. I was too young to have followed Jim Brown’s football career on the field, but his political disposition resonated with me. I have always viewed him as a no nonsense black man that stood on high principles.
Then of course, there was the west coast sociologist Harry Edwards a black intellectual and academician that challenged white supremacy on all levels. This writer read about the 1968 Olympic Games held in Mexico City, where Tommy Smith and John Carlos stood at the medal ceremony and raised their fist covered by a black glove in support and solidarity of the Black Power Movement of the 1960’s as a symbol of protest. I also read about at this same Olympic Games gold medalist boxer George Foremen (former heavy weight champion of the world) grab the American flag to demonstrate his patriotism.
This writer read about in 1969, how Curt Flood challenged Major League Baseball free agency and reserve clause and took his case to the United States Supreme Court (although he lost in this decision) which today’s baseball players and all professional athletes are the beneficiaries and recipients of Flood’s activism as it pertains to players right to free agency. This writer also grew up watching and loving Muhammad Ali, a boxer by profession and a social activist by conviction. He went into the boxing ring as Cassius Clay out of Louisville, Kentucky and in the early 1960’s was introduced to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad where he evolved into Muhammad Ali and the Islamic religion forever altered Ali’s life. He became a social icon and 1967 took a revolutionary stance against U.S aggression and the fighting in the Vietnam War and because of his conscientious objector stance he was ridiculed and condemn by a large segment of white America as being unpatriotic and un-American. (Reference: Edna and Art Rust, Jr.: Art Rust Illustrated History of the Black Athlete).
Athletes have always been viewed by the white elite as tools of entertainment and not as independent thinkers capable of making off the playing field decisions contrary to their dictates. Muhammad Ali was articulate and politically inspired who used his high profile athletic image as a former gold medalist and heavy weight champion of the world to challenge the United States Foreign Policy in Southeast Asia during the 1960’s. Ali was truly a different type of athlete. Ali was convicted in 1967 of refusing draft induction into the United States Arm Forces and sentenced to five years imprisonment, but the United Supreme Court eventually overturned this conviction. Ali’s dissent and defiance became somewhat of a symbol of what the black athlete could be, if they were armed with the proper information and knowledge.
Perhaps the culture and the social, economic and political environment dictates human behavior to a greater extent and influence the circumference and diameter of our thinking. The Hip Hop Culture has been a culture inspired by an art form---mainly Rap Music and the question always arise, does the art formulate independently of the dominant culture or does art becomes a voice of expression relative to conciliatory or contradictory interpretation. Frantz Fanon authored of two monumental books titled, “Black Skin, White Mask” and “The Wretched of the Earth” he stated that essentially each generation has the choice to honor and continue our history and struggle or betray it. Some years ago I was in a debate with Jamil Abdullah AL-Amin (formerly H. Rapp Brown), the former Black Panther Party member and Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, chairman. Al-Amin said to me brother “Culture is necessary, but it is not sufficient” it took me over twenty years to truly understand what AL-Amin meant; that was perhaps in 1989. (Reference: Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin: Revolution by the Book).
Damien Ty Jackson in his book titled, “The Hip Hop Tree: Seeds, Essays and Thoughts” stated, “No forms of culture expression unfold in a vacuum. Instead, they are informed and shape by a combination of interacting social forces that surround and precede them. Clearly, this is the case with Hip-Hop whose seeds were sown long ago in a faraway land most African-Americans still acknowledge as ‘home’. As with blues, jazz, gospel and R&B, the influences of our African origins are still with us in the form of beats, rhythms, chants, dance, oral traditions, and other musical innovations and tendencies.” (Reference: Damien Ty Jackson: The Hip Hop Tree: Seeds, Essays and Thoughts).
The study of history develops the springs and motives of human actions. History serves as much more than the studying of dates and events, but as a bridging of one generational experience to another, which is physically and psychological passed on historically and in a peoples DNA. History instills inspiration, motivation, and self-esteem into a people; moreover, it connects a people to their contributions made toward civilization and human advancement. This is the discipline that builds the will of a people and encourages them to go forward. African people living in America had a brilliant and glorious history before and after Chattel Slavery (1555-1865). (Reference: John G. Jackson: The Study of African Civilization).
Those that control institutions recognize that they must forever hide the true past of African people in order to keep them sleep to the knowledge of self. History is like a trumpet, when it is sound, the asleep must rise. African Americans were put to sleep during the period of Chattel Slavery; denied the right to read and write which to pursue an intellectual exchange of ideas and denied the God given right to acquire the knowledge of self. The slave masters deprived African people of the opportunity to develop a true value system—folkway, mores, cultural system, etc. The study of our history is one way to correct this deplorable mental state of amnesia that African Americans are presently experiencing. We not only lost our historical memory but was disposed of our intellectual faculties, to even find our home which is Africa. We are silently crying out for Zion---this lost home that has been forsaking by 30—million black people in America and hundreds of millions located throughout the diaspora. (Reference: Del Jones: The Black Holocaust: Global Genocide).
The Holy Bible in Psalms 137 gives us the true meaning of a people being disconnected from their homeland and there are none more fitting this scripture than the black man and woman of America, it stated: “By the rivers in Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it even to the foundation thereof. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall be that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”
A crime took place, which was one of the greatest criminal acts ever committed against a people and it does not matter how the descendents of the perpetrators (Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, United States, Belgium, Germany, France, etc.) seeks to disguise their denial, we the descendents are the living testimony and the victims of this heinous criminal act. We were robbed of the knowledge of self and to continue to identify with the perpetrators history and culture is insanity. This is evident by the surnames (slave master’s names we continue to carry) McCrae, Smith, Johnson, Jones, Brown, Baldwin, Richards, etc., are not indigenous African names, but they belong to another man’s culture. How can we, African Americans claim to be free and have never divorced themselves from the slave master’s names? (Reference: Hugh Thomas: The Slave Trade: The Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade; 1440-1870).
It is not the norm to find a Korean or Chinese wearing the names "Greg Fatback", "Larry Hamhock", "Darius Shorten bread", etc., because these alien names do not reflect their East Asian culture and heritage. History asked the six basic questions of who, what, where, when, how and why; moreover we have traditionally responded to the above questions with Eurocentric answers. Non-traditional scholars such as Dr. Josef Ben A. A. Johannon, Drusilla Dunjee Houston, Cheik Anta Diop, John G. Jackson, Asa Hilliard, George G. M. James, etc., have worked to redefine history, by rescuing African history from misconceptions, half-truths and outright lies.
History builds patriotism and nationalism by instilling pride and self-worth in a people that is reflected of past accomplishments which should be past down culturally, in which to always remind a people of their obligation to make every generation aware of their glorious past and use it to inspire the born and unborn generations to aspire to create new history. We as African Americans should work to retain the best national and international attorneys in the world and plead our slavery case within the international courts. The African Holocaust involved numerous criminal acts ranging from kidnap, rape, murder, assault, conspiracy. (Reference: John Henrik Clarke: Christopher Columbus and the African Holocaust).
LL Cool J in his book titled, “I Make My Own Rules” stated, “. . . Being African American in the United States, which is a strange paradox. We’re of African descent but don’t learn enough about what African is. And, because of certain racist sectors, we’re not always 100 percent accepted as Americans. Our people have been forced-fed an American culture and taught to hate themselves. But inside them African culture is brewing, because it’s never been fully realized. . . . Other groups in America—the Italians, the Jews, the Asians, the Irish—know where they came from and what their culture is about. And it makes it easier for them to embrace America on their own terms. It’s not an either/or situation. Too many black people are struggling to fit an African key into an American lock. I just doesn’t fit sometimes. We’ve got to learn to embrace our culture before we can be confident—and accepted—as Americans and make that key fit. Not all African history is great—Africans participated in the slave trade. But a lot of it is great. And we have to be real about that too.” (Reference: LL Cool J: I Make My Own Rules).
This present day generation had to rely on Pop Culture images from the Hip-Hop Culture as their leaders who were more commercialized and manufactured—products of studio images and who were for the most part actors and many of them lacked the social conviction that my Old School generation came to admire in their leaders. These new voices appeared to be more of the problem than the solution. However this writer can recall the Hip-Hop group Public Enemy (PE), in which some of its members were inspired by the Nation of Islam's leaders Minister Louis Farrakhan and Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad and it was reflected in their lyrics, a social militancy, possessing a combination of Black Islamic nationalism and Black Power themes, consistent with the ideology of the Black Panther Party model type-----stage image (with the paramilitary uniforms reflective of both the Fruit of Islam and the Black Panther Party of Self-Defense) of the 1960s and 1970s that were worn by its charismatic leaders Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale and, Eldridge Cleaver.
Public Enemy was actually a throwback type group that had borrowed the social rhythms of the Last Poets and the likes of Gill Scott Heron. Public Enemy had captivated young African -Americans imagination with meaningful lyrics possessing messages of personal and community empowerment. They introduced Minister Malcolm X (1925-1965) to a generation of Hip-Hoppers who knew, little too nothing about the slain martyr Civil Rights leader that taught a militant and radical political message that perhaps resonated with these young Hip-Hopper’s fathers and mothers two to three decades ago. PE was using their large stage to educate young African-Americans beyond the message and lyrics of selling dope, killing, sex and raunchy language that denigrated women and glamorized criminal behavior.
These young poets were actually wearing two hats—Entertainers and Social Activist simultaneously. They were more of the latter than the former—they were in harmony with the social, political and economic plight of the African-American community. Michael Eric Dyson in his book titled, “Between God and Gangsta Rap” Stated, “Public Enemy is hands down, the most influential and important group in the history of hip-hop. By roughly stitching together contrapuntal noise and prophetic rabble-rousing, the avant-garde group quickly became rap’s conscience. The contrast personalities of PE’s duo—straight-man and heavy-duty lyricist Chuck D and trickster sidekick Flavor Flav—play off of one another to great effect. PE’s work. Into toto has confronted, and times embodied, most of the conflicts faced by young blacks over the last decade. Racist white media and sellout bourgeoisie. Black-Jewish relations and the woes of interracial relations. The narrowness of black radio and the betrayal of blacks by dope dealers.” (Reference: Michael Eric Dyson: Between God and Gangsta Rap).
Lerone Bennett once stated, "He who controls images, controls minds, he who control minds has no fear bodies." PE was positively altering minds and used their music as a moral, ethical, political, and spiritual tool, etc., that focused on liberation; not senseless violence and glamorized “gansterism;” where middle class Hip-Hop artists are rapping and singing about living in public housing and being involved in drive-by shootings and rapping about gang affiliation and gangbanging. But a deeper look into some of these "wanna-be" Hip-Hop artists backgrounds, you will find that many of them were raised in suburban upscale communities, attended private schools, raised in two parents homes and lived an incubated bourgeoisie life style.
Russell Simmons, better known as the CEO of Hip-Hop (Def Jam Records, Phat Farm, and Def Comedy Jam), is perhaps one of the most brilliant minds that helped to bring Rap and Hip-Hop to the era of transcending the mom and pop enterprise; moreover, to a billion dollar entertainment industry. Thus, in his book titled, “Do You: 12 Laws to Access The Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success stated, “That’s how Hip-Hop started—poor kids with nothing, rhyming about having everything. But over the years it’s evolved to the point where that artistic attitude has transformed into a very successful business model. No one can argue that Hip-Hop hasn’t created a new way of doing business in the country. It’s proven that a bunch of kids who didn’t go to business school, who don’t have MBAs, and who don’t speak ‘proper’ English can still make a lot of money. Despite their apparent lack of sophistication and training, they can still create thriving businesses, companies that leave the rest of corporate America playing catch-up.” (Reference: Russell Simmons: Do You: 12 Laws to Access The Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success).
Some would argue that these young music entrepreneurs are only capitalizing off the market trend----they are saying and singing what sells----sadly our culture has digressed to sex and violence, which has become extremely marketable and profitable in the United States and around the world. Moreover, those that control the music industry, the POWERS THAT-BE had decided that there wouldn’t be a long standing platform for the social lyrics like the type PE sang and advocated because to much of a positive agenda was negatively impacting big business—drug culture, tobacco sells, alcohol, etc. The dealers of death in the black community could not allow this type message to take root amongst the poor and oppressed because it was bad for legal and illegal business.
PE and one of its lead artist Professor Griff who was probably a registered Muslim in the Nation of Islam and if not, was definitely a committed sympathizer to the politico-theological teachings of its controversial leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. Professor Griff probably was the information guru of PE, the real mindset behind the on stage intellect and social presences. Minister Farrakhan in 1985 spoke to over 35, 000 black people at Madison Square in New York City amidst heavy opposition from the Zionist Jews and Mayor Edward Koch. Thus, after the Jesse Jackson 1984 run for the office of president of the United States, which Jackson was forced to repudiate Farrakhan for making allege anti-Semitic remarks, in the same manner presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama is being forced to repudiate his minister, Jeremiah Wright for making allege anti-American remarks. History is cyclical. Minister Farrakhan in the mid-1980s became the preeminent black leader and voice of black America and furthered solidified that rank with his garnishing over 1.5 million black men to Washington D.C at the Million Man March. (Reference: Cornel West and Michael Lerner: Jews and Blacks: Let the Healing Begin).
Chuck D in his book titled, “Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality stated, “By that time we had already done, ‘Bring the Noise’, and ‘Don’t Believe the Hype.’ My initial goal of working with the SW1, especially those heavily oriented in the Nation{of Islam}, was to use my lyrics to help clean up the bullshit hype that had come out about Minister Louis Farrakhan that started after the New York Post article. I felt through popular music and entertainment I could help bring his name into a positive light and have white kids singing a song with Farrakhan’s name in it, and we could change the whole complexion of how he was being looked at. Minister Farrakhan was gaining so much momentum in 1984 that when the Post came out with that bullshit story about ‘Farrakhan Says Hitler Was a Great Man’—when, as suggested buried in the text of the article, he actually described how Hitler’s greatness was used for wicked purpose—their wicked reporting turned the whole Nation movement back. When ‘Bring the Noise’ came out and said, ‘Farrakhan’s a prophet I think you ought to listen to,’ and ‘Don’t Believe the Hype’, said, ‘A follower of Farrakhan, don’t tell that you understand, until you hear the man,’ we actually had white listeners wanting to get into the mind-set of Minister Farrakhan and look at his words for themselves and discover that he wasn’t what they heard he was.” (Reference: Chuck D: Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality).
The Anti Defamation League (ADL) and the Jewish Defense League (JDL) had labeled the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan as being anti-Semitic. Moreover, Public Enemy was viewed by the Jews (not all Jews, but those of the Zionist persuasion) as representing the voice and public image of the Nation of Islam whom they had falsely labeled as being anti-Semitic. They worked to separate PE from the Nation of Islam by using some words Professor Griff had spoken, which they played sound bites accusing the embattled Rap artist of anti-Semitism. PE never recovered to their former glory after the anti-Semitism allegations and eventually Chuck-D was forced to repudiate his friend and comrade Professor Griff. (Reference: Chuck D: Fight the Power: Rap, Race and Reality).
This writer must admit on the subject of Rap music and hip-hop I am way over my head, but I knew PE was special and we probably have not had a hip-hop group with the kind of social lyrical implications since PE. It is difficult today to see former PE star Flavor Flav “buffoning” and clowning and being reactionary to what he represented in the 1980s. Black men between the ages of 16-25 are being murdered (black on black homicides) at an alarming rate. The music continues to glamorize guns and drugs. Where are the positive images? Marcus Garvey, Fannie Lou Hamer, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Bishop Mc Neil Turner, Martin Luther King, Jr. Queen Mother Moore, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Huey P. Newton, Harriet Tubman, WEB Dubois, Booker T. Washington, Martin Delaney, Kwame Ture, etc. (Reference: William P. Benjamin: African Americans in the Criminal Justice System).
No positive images creates disillusionment and this is why a black high profile celebrity athlete like a Mike Vick that had just signed over 130 million dollar contract with the Atlanta Falcons and by way of some poor decisions suffered the same fate of most black men that have gotten entangled in the criminal justice and judicial system—prison; perhaps Vick believed the hype being sang and the thug life ethos that is over dramatized in the Rap Music and the Hip-Hop Culture. The blame can not be totally placed on these young African-Americans, if the truth be told, we failed them, and they were our responsibility to be intellectually nurtured and guided on the right path. The National Urban League gives an annual report each year of the state of black America and Tavis Smiley host The State of the Black Union with all his corporate funding holds a symposium every year where he galvanized some of the best and brilliant black intellectuals in America—to do what? Talk about the problem. The problem has been well defined since 1865, but we are short on solutions.
Black youth are left to choose between a concept of East Coast Rap (personified in the late Biggie Smalls—The Notorious B.I.G) and West Coast (personified by the late Tupac Shakur) as ideological metaphors for internal destruction. While the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Tavis Smiley continues to have huge conferences in big convention hotels and black America continues to suffer. Know wonder our Hip-Hop artists have to reinvent images because of our negligence to do so. Mariam Jones, a five time gold medalist winner and Michael Vick an NFL All Star Quarterback are both in custody under the United States Bureau of Prisons. They both were let down by a society that failed them and this is not to overlook personal responsibility. (Reference: Michael Eric Dyson: Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur).
Maybe is mere nostalgic on my part, but, I truly missed PE----the revolutionary lyrics and those images of defiance----the message was clear and meaningful. This writer knows and understands that art can not be defined by the lens and vision of one person and/or a group of persons; it has no definition boundaries, art means different things to different people. I first heard the Sugar Hill Gang and Grand Master Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, Run DMC in the late 1970s early 80s. I can vividly recall people calling WBLS radio station in New York City requesting that they play Sugar Hill Gang single “Rapper’s Delight” over and over again. The legendary Frankie Crocker was behind the mic, doing his thing. This "new" music was refreshing and the beat and rhythm did something for the soul.
Jay-Z is a Hip-Hop mogul that has made huge sums of money and is revered as a Hip-Hop icon, but he (Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, 50 Cent, Reverend Run, etc.) is far from being the social presences of KRS-ONE and PE, but that is not to say the likes of Most Def, Common, Talib Kweli, etc, hasn’t embraced that social and political calling. There was something happening internally in the late 1980s and early 1990s when these young artists were sampling Minister Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton speeches, this type of political education heighten the social awareness and it took Hip-Hop to another level, a level we have yet to duplicate. There have been other artists such as Wu Tang Clan, OutKast, Nas, Erykah Badu, etc., that may have come under the influence of the teachings of the Original Five Percent Nation----called the Gods and Earth's.
This group evolved from the Nation of Islam, which its founder in 1964 Clarence 13 X Smith was member of Temple Number 7 in New York City under Minister Malcolm X. The Gods and Earth's teaching has resonated amongst some Hip-Hop artists-----they pull from the "Supreme Mathematics" Lessons and “Student Enrollment” lessons that were taught by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. They understand divine numerology, Islam, mystic philosophy, high science-----they teach on the 120 degrees multiplied times 3, you then have the 360 degrees; thus, complete knowledge is liken to a circle. Many Hip-Hop artists have embraced the Five Percent Philosophy and for those who know what they are listen to can easily detect its message coded in Rap lyrics. (Reference: Malachi Z. York: The Problem Book: In the Name of Allah).
Hip-Hop and Rap have truly transcended cultures, race, ethnicity, nationality, etc., it is a universal language spoken across the globe. Moreover, after the Don Imus debacle; where he verbally insulted, the predominantly African-Americans Rutgers University women's basketball team by referring to them as "nappy headed whores”. Thereafter, a debate pursued about the language the Hip-Hop artists themselves were using that was equally degrading to African-American women. I believe the NAACP went on a silly crusade to bury the "N" word and has not offered any real solutions to black suffering and misery. Russell Simmons of the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network has also been doing yeoman's work with Hip-Hop artists as far as encouraging them to work toward cleaning Hip-Hop music up. He has teamed up with Minister Benjamin F. Muhammad (formerly known as Reverend Benjamin Chavis) and has been engaged in positive dialog with Hip-Hop artists around the country.
My comrade brother Paul Scott, the moderator of NO WARNING SHOTS FIRED blog site http://nowarningshotsfired.blogspot.com/ is without doubt, a much more verse Hip-Hop historian and Rap musicologist than I. This writer encourages his audience to view Brother Scott's blog because he has been analyzing Hip-Hop music for over a decade and has a serious inside perspective.

THE HIDDEN HAND AND THEIR QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION
“THE HIDDEN HAND AND THEIR QUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION”
by Fahim A. Knight
The entire world changed on September 11, 2001 with the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City, but the world had started to change in 1989, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union. The media and social engineers those who work to manipulate and influence the thinking of the people had done a skillful job of “dumbing-” down America; moreover, quite naturally the trends of a changing world would go unnoticed by the masses of the people, in particular inside the United States and the world over in general; in reality, the world had started to change long before the bombing of the World Trade Center and Pentagon. However, the masses of people have always been made confused, deceived and disorientated in their ability to determine fact from fiction by a small minority for the purpose of global and international exploitation. (Reference: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham).
Paul Foster Case in his small but powerful little pamphlet titled, “The Great Seal of the United States: Its History, Symbolism and Message for the New Age” stated, “Tyrants seek to enslave humanity, but tyranny is self-destructive. Old Tyrannies have passed away, to give place to others more subtle, but even these are doomed before the irresistible force expressed in law of liberty. Most of the world today is in bondage to Mammon (defined as a false god of wealth and riches; considered as an evil corrupt influence), but the time is at hand when Mammon shall take its proper place as the servant, not the master, of man. Millions are enslaved by the machine, but the hour is striking when a revolution greater than that of 1776 shall throw off the shackles of the hatful servitude”.
The HIDDEN HAND after the success of September 11, 2001 hoax, which was better than any theatrical or magical show Harry Houdini could have ever put on. The Hidden Hand setout to reward two its most loyal go-betweens (not to say there weren’t many more servants or players that received rewards for their covert roles), New York former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (presidential candidate) and Bernard B. Kerik for being good servants. Thus, both played their roles to the tilt (Giuliani should have won an Oscar for the performance as lead actor and his police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik should have receive one for best supporting actor). If you remember Bush in 2004 nominated Kerik to head the Office of Homeland Security, but all kind of skeletons surfaced out of Kerik closet and he appeared more as a public relations liability for the Bush Administration, which curtailed this coveted reward. The readers can refer, "Skeletons Pour From Kerik's Closet" CBS News 15 Dec 2004 .
This writer is quite sure Kerik received some other type comparable compensation for his role in the 9-11 cover-up and his agreed silence to protect the INTERNATIONAL BANKERS AND the ROUNDTABLERS they were the ones behind and had masterminded this criminal act which was based on greed and profit. They would use the opportunity to dismantle the United States Constitution and to bring all Sovereign Governments under their dictates. The blaming of Osama Bin Laden for the 9-11 incident was a mere smoke screen that had some far more reaching sinister implications. Yes. There was the 9/11 Commission assigned to investigate or give the appearance of easing the public suspicion by producing a report of no substance for public consumption, but this was only the politics of appeasement . How could the HIDDEN HAND who stood as the culprits investigate themselves?
The attack on the World Trade Center by so-called external forces depicted as Islamic fundamentalist or Arab extremist and the hatred Americans spewed at Islam/Arabs became as good as the punch line of being American as baseball and apple pie. Many conscious people suspected there was a smoking gun and the script the media presented had some sinister motives and some far reaching objectives perhaps even beyond the White House, the United States Department of State, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Defense, Mossad, etc., although President George W. Bush acted in concert with some powerful vipers the UNSEEN Hand and/or invisible body of sovereign emperors had appointed him to the office of presidency. He was likening to a soldier following orders from the perspective of hearing and obeying those in authority (the HIDDED HAND) over him. (Reference: “The Circle of Intrigue: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy” by Texe Marrs).
Some would argue that The United States Congress, the elected officials of the people who were involved in passing the United States Patriot Act just forty three (43) days after September 11, 2001 (had either been duped or were willing and active participants in the plot) and establishing the office of Homeland Security giving the Executive Branch of Government Dictator type powers. For example, unchecked and undemocratic Executive Orders were imposed, law enforcement powers went unmitigated, and Congress ability to legislate was compromised and was the Patriot Act essentially an outright violation of U.S. law and of our U.S. Constitutional Rights? And did this legislation actually meet its attempt by intentionally and willfully usurping the balance of powers we have in our three branches of government?
The Patriot Act, Anti-Terrorism Bill and other anti-Civil Rights policy gave the United States Attorney General’s Office and the United States Department of Justice unprecedented authority; in particular over American citizens and the citizens the world over in general. The Justice Department expanded their powers to the detriment of Americans Civil liberties which had been guaranteed since 1787 or at least in theory under the United States Constitution. But the HIDDEN HAND strategically would use the 9-11 incident to weaken the Bill Rights and to totally disarm the United States Citizens and proliferate the powers of the Executive Branch of Government (George Bush) and the sad thing about this criminal act, it was met with no resistance from the masses of the people they volunteered as willing participants.
The HIDDEN HAND did a masterful public relations operation of contriving and convincing the national and international communities that Osama Bin Laden (his name became deceptively synonymous with terrorism) stood as the enemy of our so-called freedoms (democracy) and purportedly because of Bin Laden, the HIDDEN HAND had convinced us that we had to make our personal and national security top priority in the United States. Perhaps this writer should state and remind the readers that the national security was only at the interest of protecting the International Bankers in the United States, Moscow, Great Britain, France, Israel, Spain, South Africa, Japan, etc., they were the beneficiaries of September 11, 2001 tragedy, as well as all wars and every world event is at their orchestration. The September 11, 2001 incident left over 3000 human beings dead (may God look favorably upon their souls), but these vipers were doing their due diligence centered on high finances and around them was human carnage that were being viewed as casualties of war.
This meant giving the United State Government unprecedented authority to control the lives of its citizens with no checks and balances. They can now detain, conduct unwarranted search and seizure acts, arrest, concoct indictments via grand jury, seize real and personal assets, impose long term prison sentences, etc., if the government label you as a terrorist, the government has the right to treat you in any manner they deem acceptable and in many cases deny American some basic civil rights.
But even to this day the masses still do not realize that the Rockefellers, Rothschild’s, Oppenhiemers, Bronfman, DeBeers, etc., used FRONT MEN like George W. Bush for their world domination objectives. They gave him the orders to rearrange the World Order for the financial interest of these ROUNDTABLERS and INTERNATIONAL BANKERS. It is they who pull the purse strings on all world events and international banks and the MONEY CHANGERS are ALL woven together behind many disguises and fronts (Reference: “Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300” by John Coleman).
They actually use Freemasonry as one of their FRONTS---Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry. In the Blue Lodge (Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees) are taught about the lost word of Grand Master Hiram Abiff (only three persons was invested with the “Master Word” that was King Solomon, Hiram of Tyree and Hiram Abiff). But the “Master Word” was lost (at the murder of Grand Master Hiram Abiff by three Jewish RUFFIANS) and a substitute word was giving in its place of the “real word”. But we were later taught in Royal Arch Masonry that you are giving “the real word” in these York Rite degrees (Reference: “Freemasonry Interpreted” by Martin L. Wagner).
The “real word” is not even attained at the 33rd degree, the highest degree level in Masonry. The “REAL WORD” is only passed down from the dynastic families which are based on blood linage and wealth. The HIDDEN HAND will never give Freemasonry the “REAL WORD”. The REAL WORD is buried not in a shallow grave with Hiram Abiff nor could it have ever been extorted. It is only passed down by the HIDDEN HAND to their families who for generations were initiated in the concepts of ruler ship, finance, descendents allegiance, power, etc. (Reference: “The New World Order by A. Ralph Epperson).
Eustace Mullins in his book titled, “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection” stated, “The Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a system, but rather, a criminal syndicate. It is the product of criminal syndicalist activity of an international consortium of DYNASTICS FAMIL.IES (emphasis the author) comprising what the author terms “The World Order” (see “The New World Order” and the “The Curse of Canaan”, both by Eustaces Mullins). The Federal Reserve System is a central bank operating in the United States. Although the student will find no such definition of a central bank in the textbooks of any university, the author has defined a central bank as follows: It is the dominant financial power of the country which harbors it. It is entirely privately-owned, although it seeks to give the appearance of a governmental institution. It has the right to print and issue money, the traditional prerogative of monarchs. It is set up to provide financing for wars. It functions as a money monopoly having total power over all the money and credit of the people.”
The American people have giving the United States Government this type of authority over them in the name of fighting terror. The Justice Department are developing terms such as “enemy combatant”, which allows them the legal ability to extradite American citizens that commit acts of terrorism and/or are in collaboration by way of a conspiracy with foreign dissidents on international soil (they even reinterpreted the Geneva Convention and rights giving to prisoners of war). The government now can use various legal and military techniques (specifically under the Military Commissions Acts of 2006) in its arsenal when it comes to so-called fight terrorism.
For example, wiring tapping, detaining suspected terrorist individuals without due process (violating the14th amendment), monitoring dissent activist and speeches (violating the 1st Amendment), monitoring suspected violators banking transactions by expanding the powers of the United States Treasury Department. But many view this massive legislation, legal, and law enforcement build up and guidelines giving under the Patriot Act as being essential and necessary in the United States efforts to fight and combat terrorism and to secure its boarders and its international interest in the area of foreign policy and national security.
Also the Patriot Act redefined how immigration would be viewed and in the name of national security and as a result, many new offices were founded and existing law enforcement office (FBI, CIA, ICE, USMS, DEA, ATF, IRS, INS, federal, local and state law enforcement agencies, federal, state, and local courts) were giving expansive authority in the name of so-called making the American people safer in this era of fighting terrorism. Thus, perhaps in doing so the question that remain is, did we compromise too much of our civil liberties in allowing the passing of the Patriot Act in 2001 and the Anti-Terrorism Bill and the Military Commission Act just as the citizens did in 1798 allowing the passing of the Sedition Acts?
George Bush should have been charged and convicted of TREASON and SEDITION, but he truly has sovereign immunity granted to him by the HIDDEN HAND (and can disguise the HIDDEN HAND powers as Commander in Chief). Giuliani prize reward for his conspiratorial role in 9-11 might be his appointment to highest office in the world which is president of the United States. The masses did not know that Giuliani was a co-conspirator on the low end and a willing participant in the paradigm ship that had multi-objectives of rearranging the Financial Capitol of World---New York City at the detriment of over 3000 human beings lives. They only served as sacrificial lambs for the INTERNATIONAL BANKERS.
But lets not be confused this HIDDEN CABAL does not have any loyalty to a potential low level servant (including Bush and Giuliani) as long as the candidate is willing serve their interest whether it is Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Sam Brownback, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich (anyone of them perhaps would make good servants for the HIDDEN HAND)., etc., it really does not matter because along as the drudge has a spirit and willingness to serve, this represents the ultimate criteria for servant membership.
David Icke in monumental book titled, “The Biggest Secrets” that breaks the codes behind the Same Faces, Different Masks which he stated, “Since 1921 virtually every President of the United Sates has been a member of the CFR along with most of the main government posts including most, today all, the American ambassadors around the world. The CFR also includes media owners, key journalist and editors, educationalist, military leaders, on and on it goes. The membership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs remains a secret, but it also includes people of the same positions and backgrounds in the United Kingdom and I stress the American CFR is a subordinate to, and takes orders from, the Royal Institute in London. These interlock with the Illuminati; the ‘Knight’ Orders like the Knights of St John of Jerusalem (Malta)”.
The religion of Islam was placed at the center of the world stage right after September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City which sixteen (16) of the nineteen (19) allege “terrorist” and hijackers were Saudi Arabian nationals and on the surfaced this appeared strange because this filthy rich Arab nation is an alley (or should I say a puppet) of the United States and the ruling Royal Family (the Wahhabis tribe) as one of the leading Oil Exporting Producing Nations (OPEC) and the Western Governments are by far the leading consumers of Saudi Oil.
The United States and Great Britain have become Oil junkies and like an addict will go to great lengths to appease and satisfy their addiction regardless of the negative impact or consequences their actions may have on others. This marriage of convenience between the United States and Saudi Arabia is strictly based around Oil, but with the understanding that Central Intelligence Agency and the Office Homeland Security would allow Saudi Arabia to finance so-called fundamentalist Islamic leaders and movements throughout the world in order to control and ease the internal and external tension off themselves.
Thus, creating an illusion in the Islamic world that Saudi Arabia (with its so-called Sharia interpretations and serving as a model of an Islamic theocracy) truly supports Islamic revolutions throughout the world. However, the fact of the matter is the HIDDEN HAND will not have religious radical insurgents disrupting this BLACK GOLD better known as OIL which to date has risen to $90.00 USD a barrel. It is the Saudi Arabia’s role to pacify Islam for the interest of the HIDDEN HAND. Yet, on September 11, 2001, the United States and the Kingdom (Sunni Islamic State) shared normalize and diplomatic relations. But, how does one explain that America’s friends the Saudis spearheaded this so-called assault against America? It left me baffled or was this just another deception, ploy and distraction.
President Richard Nixon in his book titled, “Seize The Moment, America’s Challenge In a One World-Superpower World” stated, “had we not intervened, an international outlaw would today control more that fifty percent of the world’s oil. While the United States could survive, if necessary without Persian Gulf Oil, Western Europe and Japan could not. What happens to the economics of the other industrial democracies directly affects the health of our economy. We therefore, could not have afforded to allow Iraq to have access to Gulf Oil and blackmail the world through its choke hold on our lifeline”.
It was very disturbing in 2003 as this writer watched U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell address the United Nations; as an African American permitted himself to be used as a puppet and as a tool of U.S foreign Policy by the reactionary regime of President George Bush. Powell knew that there were no political justification to attack the tiny nation of Iraq (the intelligence reports told him that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction) and worst yet Russia and France who have permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council were not in agreement with the United States military action against Iraq. Moreover, the United Nations as a whole had spoken strongly and truly desired to see the U.N. Weapon’s Inspectors continue their task and allow peaceful diplomacy as a reasonable resolution.
The U.S had accused the nation of Iraq of violating various U.N Resolutions, but fails to tell the American people that they helped Hussein to violate U.N. law and international policy and had armed him in the past with U.S and Israeli weapons of mass destruction. Why was President Bush so bent on going to war with Iraq? His war motive was about controlling the Ramallah Oil fields and enriching the Seven Oil Sisters of Exxon, Mobile, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Standard Oil, and Arco whom the Bush family have had business ties to for generations (Reference: “The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed” by Russell S. Bowen).
How quick do we forget, in 1979 the United State Department of State, United States Justice Department and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) armed and gave the Iraqi Government and its leader Saddam Hussein military technology, as well as weapons of mass destruction to kill the innocent people of Iran. Hussein for seven (7) years was a hired United States gun with one objective, which was to further U.S. Foreign policy within the Persian Gulf region.
The United States Government used false propaganda against Iran and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini persuading the ignorant masses to view Khomeini as a “boogieman” and the mass mediums of both electronic and print demonized him as such. The United States Government used U.S. Citizen’s tax dollars in the name of foreign aid from 1979-1986 to boaster Iraqi's military might in order to curtail the Iranian Islamic revolution, which had nationalized the Iranian oil fields and the Central Intelligence Agency (an arm of the Hidden Hand) had an objective of containing and isolating Iran from spreading this idea in the region.
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi better known as the Shah of Iran who for almost three decades had betrayed the Iranian people and had turned this Persian Islamic society into a den of decadence. Khomeini called America the "Great Satan" and U.S. foreign policy at that time had an objective of destroying the Iranian Government by any means necessary. Hussein used chemical and biological warfare against the Iranians and guess what most of it came from the United States Department of Defense. (Reference: “Deadly Deceits: My Twenty-Five Years in the CIA” by Ralph W. McGhee).
The United Nations could have just asked the United States Government for a copy of the military cargo manifest documentation between Iraq and the U.S. Government for the last twenty (20) years. This would have provided detail information about Iraqi's so-called war arsenal and perhaps could have expedited some of the United Nations time and resources.
The international community should not have sat idle by and watch Bush declare an unjust war against Iraq for the sake of OIL and have no regard for human life including the young American soldiers who were being sent to war with little understanding of what they are fighting for and are being used as pawns for United States foreign policy. I hope that the conservatives save their breath with this out dated line of we are fighting to make the world safer for democracy. No, No, No, this war was design to make it easier for the Bush and the HIDDEN HAND to continue to steal OIL.
The United States Government perhaps at the instigation of Zionist (Israeli Government) is using the same sought of propaganda against present day Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad labeling him a threat to the region and is bent on acquiring Nuclear Weapons in order to threaten his neighbors, as well as the West. Ahmadinejad is constantly being demonized in the western media and he is talking about moving away from USD currency. This would be considered a crime by the INTERNATIONAL BANKS and justification for another war in the Persian Gulf Region.
The so-called Prime Minister of Iraq Nuri Al-Maliki recently expressed his negative sentiments toward the Blackwater USA Security, a hired private mercenary firm who had been on a killing spree in Iraq. But Al-Maliki had sold his nation and his soul to the devil and this servant was talking as if Iraq was a sovereign nation and he was demanded that the Blackwater USA mercenaries be tried in an Iraqi court of law for murder. He forgot that he doesn’t have the jurisdiction to demand anything and do not even have the authority to banned Blackwater from doing business in Iraq. He has to get the permission from Master Bush to take any actions against this private security contractor. But this is the price you pay for selling your soul.
Many of us watched the 2007 Congressional elections where the Democrats in 2007 recaptured the U.S Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives and Nancy Polisie, a U.S. Congresswoman for California’s 8th District and was appointed as Speaker of the House. Thus, right prior to her appointment as Speaker she was growling and barking at President Bush’s foreign policy and was advocating change, in particular in Iraq. But has anyone notice that nothing has changed on Capitol Hill; although the Congress is controlled by the democrats, it is the same old game of business as usual, or do Nancy Polisie and President Bush work for the same Cabal?
The National Alliance published an article titled, “Who Rules America? Which they identify the media moguls and as having a covert Zionist agenda, it stated, “There is no greater power in the world today than that wield by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No King or Pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America’s mass news…”
The ignorant masses in the United States citizen had been duped in to believing in the electoral process which had elected George Bush to the office of President in 2000 and 2004 and could not imagine after these elections that they were powerless. Their vote only served as an illusion of so-called exercising the greatest power that upholds a free nation’s claim to democracy, is the right to vote. Some of the most respected United States mass mediums outlets had announced Al Gore as the next president of the United States in the 2000 presidential election. Gore had garnished more popular votes than Bush, but the Electoral College votes created controversy in the State of Florida, which led to a reversal and Bush later claimed Florida (where his brother Jeb Bush was Governor) and the presidency of the United States.
The United States Supreme Court had to determine the presidential election winner in the United States in the year of 2000; although this judicial exercise of authority was set to give the appearance that the three branches of government was at work and intact. The United States Supreme Court and some of its most prominent justices were appointed by Ronald Reagan (Honorary 33rd Degree Mason) and former President George Herbert Walker Bush, a Council on Foreign Relations, former CIA director, Bildaberger and Trilateral Commission member. It left little doubt that his son, George W. Bush appointment to serve the Hidden Hand had already been determined outside the ballot boxes.
They merely had to first convince the ignorant masses by deceiving them in to believing that their vote counted and to solidify Bush’s appointment the HIDDEN CABAL created the 9-11 debacle as a diversionary tactic, which led the masses to argue and protest about ballots and voting machines, recounts, voter reform, etc., while “King George” put the final touches on his silent coup de tart.
Civil Rights Leaders such as Jesse Jackson, Sr., Kwesi Mfume, Al Sharpton, Cynthia McKinney, Shelia Lee-Jackson, Ted Kennedy and many liberal democrats (including the Congressional Black Caucasus) were outraged and agitated (at least they appeared this way in public) at what had taken place in Florida. The masses of the people became so engulfed in 9-11 they even forgot that Bush had even stole an election. The polls directly after 9-11 were indicating that his approval ratings had reach an all time high for a president, but many had forgotten so quickly what happened in Florida.
This writer listened to political commentaries being made by Tavis Smiley of National Public Radio (NPR) and frequent guest on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a syndicated radio program; moreover give these beautiful written OPED pieces on what happened in Florida and how pristine the right to vote was for black Americans in particular and all Americans in general. But Smiley does not understand that the President has never been elected by vote, they are appointed by THE UNSEEN HAND.
The Bush election was actually certified by a Cabal, the Hidden Hand and not by the Florida State Board of Elections, but by one of their agent’s Katherine Harris Florida Secretary of State; thus, Bush was handpicked and made president in a secret ballot that was cast by some of the most powerful men in the world and their influential organizations.
David Icke in his book titled, The Biggest Secret, stated, “We are on the cusp of an incredible global change. A crossroads where we make decisions which will influence life on Earth well into the future of what we call time. We can fling open the doors of the mental and emotional prisons which have confined the human race for thousands of years. Or we can allow the agents of that control to complete their agenda for the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical enslavement of every man, woman and child on the planet with a world government, army, central bank and currency, underpinned by a microchipped population”.
Lastly, lets not be mistaken Al Gore is on the Council of Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, and member of the Trilateral Commission which means he too is a servant of the Hidden Hand and would have received the same orders that George Bush received which was to serve their interest and the not United States electorate nor the United Nations.
Theses national and international politicians and leaders are only executing the “play book” that is designed by Henry Oppenheimer, Edgar Bronfman, Michael Eisner, Gerald Levin, Edmund de Rothschild, Henry Kissinger, Lord Carrington, David Rockefeller, etc. They recently awarded Al Gore with a Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental work but actually this so-called prestigious award was giving to him for obedience and loyalty to the HIDDEN HAND and not really contesting their decision to appoint George W. Bush over him.

However, the masses of people have always been made confused, deceived and disorientated in their ability to determine fact from fiction by a small minority for the purpose of global and international exploitation. (Reference: “None Dare Call it Conspiracy” by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham).
Paul Foster Case in his small but powerful little pamphlet titled, “The Great Seal of the United States: Its History, Symbolism and Message for the New Age” stated, “Tyrants seek to enslave humanity, but tyranny is self-destructive. Old Tyrannies have passed away, to give place to others more subtle, but even these are doomed before the irresistible force expressed in law of liberty. Most of the world today is in bondage to Mammon (defined as a false god of wealth and riches; considered as an evil corrupt influence), but the time is at hand when Mammon shall take its proper place as the servant, not the master, of man. Millions are enslaved by the machine, but the hour is striking when a revolution greater than that of 1776 shall throw off the shackles of the hatful servitude”.
The HIDDEN HAND after the success of September 11, 2001 hoax, which was better than any theatrical or magical show Harry Houdini could have ever put on. The Hidden Hand setout to reward two its most loyal go-betweens (not to say there weren’t many more servants or players that received rewards for their covert roles), New York former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (presidential candidate) and Bernard B. Kerik for being good servants. Thus, both played their roles to the tilt (Giuliani should have won an Oscar for the performance as lead actor and his police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik should have receive one for best supporting actor). If you remember Bush in 2004 nominated Kerik to head the Office of Homeland Security, but all kind of skeletons surfaced out of Kerik closet and he appeared more as a public relations liability for the Bush Administration, which curtailed this coveted reward. The readers can refer, "Skeletons Pour From Kerik's Closet" CBS News 15 Dec 2004 .
This writer is quite sure Kerik received some other type comparable compensation for his role in the 9-11 cover-up and his agreed silence to protect the INTERNATIONAL BANKERS AND the ROUNDTABLERS they were the ones behind and had masterminded this criminal act which was based on greed and profit. They would use the opportunity to dismantle the United States Constitution and to bring all Sovereign Governments under their dictates. The blaming of Osama Bin Laden for the 9-11 incident was a mere smoke screen that had some far more reaching sinister implications. Yes. There was the 9/11 Commission assigned to investigate or give the appearance of easing the public suspicion by producing a report of no substance for public consumption, but this was only the politics of appeasement . How could the HIDDEN HAND who stood as the culprits investigate themselves?
The attack on the World Trade Center by so-called external forces depicted as Islamic fundamentalist or Arab extremist and the hatred Americans spewed at Islam/Arabs became as good as the punch line of being American as baseball and apple pie. Many conscious people suspected there was a smoking gun and the script the media presented had some sinister motives and some far reaching objectives perhaps even beyond the White House, the United States Department of State, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Defense, Mossad, etc., although President George W. Bush acted in concert with some powerful vipers the UNSEEN Hand and/or invisible body of sovereign emperors had appointed him to the office of presidency. He was likening to a soldier following orders from the perspective of hearing and obeying those in authority (the HIDDED HAND) over him. (Reference: “The Circle of Intrigue: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy” by Texe Marrs).
Some would argue that The United States Congress, the elected officials of the people who were involved in passing the United States Patriot Act just forty three (43) days after September 11, 2001 (had either been duped or were willing and active participants in the plot) and establishing the office of Homeland Security giving the Executive Branch of Government Dictator type powers. For example, unchecked and undemocratic Executive Orders were imposed, law enforcement powers went unmitigated, and Congress ability to legislate was compromised and was the Patriot Act essentially an outright violation of U.S. law and of our U.S. Constitutional Rights? And did this legislation actually meet its attempt by intentionally and willfully usurping the balance of powers we have in our three branches of government?
The Patriot Act, Anti-Terrorism Bill and other anti-Civil Rights policy gave the United States Attorney General’s Office and the United States Department of Justice unprecedented authority; in particular over American citizens and the citizens the world over in general. The Justice Department expanded their powers to the detriment of Americans Civil liberties which had been guaranteed since 1787 or at least in theory under the United States Constitution. But the HIDDEN HAND strategically would use the 9-11 incident to weaken the Bill Rights and to totally disarm the United States Citizens and proliferate the powers of the Executive Branch of Government (George Bush) and the sad thing about this criminal act, it was met with no resistance from the masses of the people they volunteered as willing participants.
The HIDDEN HAND did a masterful public relations operation of contriving and convincing the national and international communities that Osama Bin Laden (his name became deceptively synonymous with terrorism) stood as the enemy of our so-called freedoms (democracy) and purportedly because of Bin Laden, the HIDDEN HAND had convinced us that we had to make our personal and national security top priority in the United States. Perhaps this writer should state and remind the readers that the national security was only at the interest of protecting the International Bankers in the United States, Moscow, Great Britain, France, Israel, Spain, South Africa, Japan, etc., they were the beneficiaries of September 11, 2001 tragedy, as well as all wars and every world event is at their orchestration. The September 11, 2001 incident left over 3000 human beings dead (may God look favorably upon their souls), but these vipers were doing their due diligence centered on high finances and around them was human carnage that were being viewed as casualties of war.
This meant giving the United State Government unprecedented authority to control the lives of its citizens with no checks and balances. They can now detain, conduct unwarranted search and seizure acts, arrest, concoct indictments via grand jury, seize real and personal assets, impose long term prison sentences, etc., if the government label you as a terrorist, the government has the right to treat you in any manner they deem acceptable and in many cases deny American some basic civil rights.
But even to this day the masses still do not realize that the Rockefellers, Rothschild’s, Oppenhiemers, Bronfman, DeBeers, etc., used FRONT MEN like George W. Bush for their world domination objectives. They gave him the orders to rearrange the World Order for the financial interest of these ROUNDTABLERS and INTERNATIONAL BANKERS. It is they who pull the purse strings on all world events and international banks and the MONEY CHANGERS are ALL woven together behind many disguises and fronts (Reference: “Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300” by John Coleman).
They actually use Freemasonry as one of their FRONTS---Blue Lodge and High Degree Masonry. In the Blue Lodge (Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees) are taught about the lost word of Grand Master Hiram Abiff (only three persons was invested with the “Master Word” that was King Solomon, Hiram of Tyree and Hiram Abiff). But the “Master Word” was lost (at the murder of Grand Master Hiram Abiff by three Jewish RUFFIANS) and a substitute word was giving in its place of the “real word”. But we were later taught in Royal Arch Masonry that you are giving “the real word” in these York Rite degrees (Reference: “Freemasonry Interpreted” by Martin L. Wagner).
The “real word” is not even attained at the 33rd degree, the highest degree level in Masonry. The “REAL WORD” is only passed down from the dynastic families which are based on blood linage and wealth. The HIDDEN HAND will never give Freemasonry the “REAL WORD”. The REAL WORD is buried not in a shallow grave with Hiram Abiff nor could it have ever been extorted. It is only passed down by the HIDDEN HAND to their families who for generations were initiated in the concepts of ruler ship, finance, descendents allegiance, power, etc. (Reference: “The New World Order by A. Ralph Epperson).
Eustace Mullins in his book titled, “The Secrets of the Federal Reserve: The London Connection” stated, “The Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a system, but rather, a criminal syndicate. It is the product of criminal syndicalist activity of an international consortium of DYNASTICS FAMIL.IES (emphasis the author) comprising what the author terms “The World Order” (see “The New World Order” and the “The Curse of Canaan”, both by Eustaces Mullins). The Federal Reserve System is a central bank operating in the United States. Although the student will find no such definition of a central bank in the textbooks of any university, the author has defined a central bank as follows: It is the dominant financial power of the country which harbors it. It is entirely privately-owned, although it seeks to give the appearance of a governmental institution. It has the right to print and issue money, the traditional prerogative of monarchs. It is set up to provide financing for wars. It functions as a money monopoly having total power over all the money and credit of the people.”
The American people have giving the United States Government this type of authority over them in the name of fighting terror. The Justice Department are developing terms such as “enemy combatant”, which allows them the legal ability to extradite American citizens that commit acts of terrorism and/or are in collaboration by way of a conspiracy with foreign dissidents on international soil (they even reinterpreted the Geneva Convention and rights giving to prisoners of war). The government now can use various legal and military techniques (specifically under the Military Commissions Acts of 2006) in its arsenal when it comes to so-called fight terrorism.
For example, wiring tapping, detaining suspected terrorist individuals without due process (violating the14th amendment), monitoring dissent activist and speeches (violating the 1st Amendment), monitoring suspected violators banking transactions by expanding the powers of the United States Treasury Department. But many view this massive legislation, legal, and law enforcement build up and guidelines giving under the Patriot Act as being essential and necessary in the United States efforts to fight and combat terrorism and to secure its boarders and its international interest in the area of foreign policy and national security.
Also the Patriot Act redefined how immigration would be viewed and in the name of national security and as a result, many new offices were founded and existing law enforcement office (FBI, CIA, ICE, USMS, DEA, ATF, IRS, INS, federal, local and state law enforcement agencies, federal, state, and local courts) were giving expansive authority in the name of so-called making the American people safer in this era of fighting terrorism. Thus, perhaps in doing so the question that remain is, did we compromise too much of our civil liberties in allowing the passing of the Patriot Act in 2001 and the Anti-Terrorism Bill and the Military Commission Act just as the citizens did in 1798 allowing the passing of the Sedition Acts?
George Bush should have been charged and convicted of TREASON and SEDITION, but he truly has sovereign immunity granted to him by the HIDDEN HAND (and can disguise the HIDDEN HAND powers as Commander in Chief). Giuliani prize reward for his conspiratorial role in 9-11 might be his appointment to highest office in the world which is president of the United States. The masses did not know that Giuliani was a co-conspirator on the low end and a willing participant in the paradigm ship that had multi-objectives of rearranging the Financial Capitol of World---New York City at the detriment of over 3000 human beings lives. They only served as sacrificial lambs for the INTERNATIONAL BANKERS.
But lets not be confused this HIDDEN CABAL does not have any loyalty to a potential low level servant (including Bush and Giuliani) as long as the candidate is willing serve their interest whether it is Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, John Edwards, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, Sam Brownback, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, Joe Biden, Christopher Dodd, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich (anyone of them perhaps would make good servants for the HIDDEN HAND)., etc., it really does not matter because along as the drudge has a spirit and willingness to serve, this represents the ultimate criteria for servant membership.
David Icke in monumental book titled, “The Biggest Secrets” that breaks the codes behind the Same Faces, Different Masks which he stated, “Since 1921 virtually every President of the United Sates has been a member of the CFR along with most of the main government posts including most, today all, the American ambassadors around the world. The CFR also includes media owners, key journalist and editors, educationalist, military leaders, on and on it goes. The membership of the Royal Institute of International Affairs remains a secret, but it also includes people of the same positions and backgrounds in the United Kingdom and I stress the American CFR is a subordinate to, and takes orders from, the Royal Institute in London. These interlock with the Illuminati; the ‘Knight’ Orders like the Knights of St John of Jerusalem (Malta)”.
The religion of Islam was placed at the center of the world stage right after September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City which sixteen (16) of the nineteen (19) allege “terrorist” and hijackers were Saudi Arabian nationals and on the surfaced this appeared strange because this filthy rich Arab nation is an alley (or should I say a puppet) of the United States and the ruling Royal Family (the Wahhabis tribe) as one of the leading Oil Exporting Producing Nations (OPEC) and the Western Governments are by far the leading consumers of Saudi Oil.
The United States and Great Britain have become Oil junkies and like an addict will go to great lengths to appease and satisfy their addiction regardless of the negative impact or consequences their actions may have on others. This marriage of convenience between the United States and Saudi Arabia is strictly based around Oil, but with the understanding that Central Intelligence Agency and the Office Homeland Security would allow Saudi Arabia to finance so-called fundamentalist Islamic leaders and movements throughout the world in order to control and ease the internal and external tension off themselves.
Thus, creating an illusion in the Islamic world that Saudi Arabia (with its so-called Sharia interpretations and serving as a model of an Islamic theocracy) truly supports Islamic revolutions throughout the world. However, the fact of the matter is the HIDDEN HAND will not have religious radical insurgents disrupting this BLACK GOLD better known as OIL which to date has risen to $90.00 USD a barrel. It is the Saudi Arabia’s role to pacify Islam for the interest of the HIDDEN HAND. Yet, on September 11, 2001, the United States and the Kingdom (Sunni Islamic State) shared normalize and diplomatic relations. But, how does one explain that America’s friends the Saudis spearheaded this so-called assault against America? It left me baffled or was this just another deception, ploy and distraction.
President Richard Nixon in his book titled, “Seize The Moment, America’s Challenge In a One World-Superpower World” stated, “had we not intervened, an international outlaw would today control more that fifty percent of the world’s oil. While the United States could survive, if necessary without Persian Gulf Oil, Western Europe and Japan could not. What happens to the economics of the other industrial democracies directly affects the health of our economy. We therefore, could not have afforded to allow Iraq to have access to Gulf Oil and blackmail the world through its choke hold on our lifeline”.
It was very disturbing in 2003 as this writer watched U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell address the United Nations; as an African American permitted himself to be used as a puppet and as a tool of U.S foreign Policy by the reactionary regime of President George Bush. Powell knew that there were no political justification to attack the tiny nation of Iraq (the intelligence reports told him that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction) and worst yet Russia and France who have permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council were not in agreement with the United States military action against Iraq. Moreover, the United Nations as a whole had spoken strongly and truly desired to see the U.N. Weapon’s Inspectors continue their task and allow peaceful diplomacy as a reasonable resolution.
The U.S had accused the nation of Iraq of violating various U.N Resolutions, but fails to tell the American people that they helped Hussein to violate U.N. law and international policy and had armed him in the past with U.S and Israeli weapons of mass destruction. Why was President Bush so bent on going to war with Iraq? His war motive was about controlling the Ramallah Oil fields and enriching the Seven Oil Sisters of Exxon, Mobile, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Standard Oil, and Arco whom the Bush family have had business ties to for generations (Reference: “The Immaculate Deception: The Bush Crime Family Exposed” by Russell S. Bowen).
How quick do we forget, in 1979 the United State Department of State, United States Justice Department and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) armed and gave the Iraqi Government and its leader Saddam Hussein military technology, as well as weapons of mass destruction to kill the innocent people of Iran. Hussein for seven (7) years was a hired United States gun with one objective, which was to further U.S. Foreign policy within the Persian Gulf region.
The United States Government used false propaganda against Iran and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini persuading the ignorant masses to view Khomeini as a “boogieman” and the mass mediums of both electronic and print demonized him as such. The United States Government used U.S. Citizen’s tax dollars in the name of foreign aid from 1979-1986 to boaster Iraqi's military might in order to curtail the Iranian Islamic revolution, which had nationalized the Iranian oil fields and the Central Intelligence Agency (an arm of the Hidden Hand) had an objective of containing and isolating Iran from spreading this idea in the region.
Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi better known as the Shah of Iran who for almost three decades had betrayed the Iranian people and had turned this Persian Islamic society into a den of decadence. Khomeini called America the "Great Satan" and U.S. foreign policy at that time had an objective of destroying the Iranian Government by any means necessary. Hussein used chemical and biological warfare against the Iranians and guess what most of it came from the United States Department of Defense. (Reference: “Deadly Deceits: My Twenty-Five Years in the CIA” by Ralph W. McGhee).
The United Nations could have just asked the United States Government for a copy of the military cargo manifest documentation between Iraq and the U.S. Government for the last twenty (20) years. This would have provided detail information about Iraqi's so-called war arsenal and perhaps could have expedited some of the United Nations time and resources.
The international community should not have sat idle by and watch Bush declare an unjust war against Iraq for the sake of OIL and have no regard for human life including the young American soldiers who were being sent to war with little understanding of what they are fighting for and are being used as pawns for United States foreign policy. I hope that the conservatives save their breath with this out dated line of we are fighting to make the world safer for democracy. No, No, No, this war was design to make it easier for the Bush and the HIDDEN HAND to continue to steal OIL.
The United States Government perhaps at the instigation of Zionist (Israeli Government) is using the same sought of propaganda against present day Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad labeling him a threat to the region and is bent on acquiring Nuclear Weapons in order to threaten his neighbors, as well as the West. Ahmadinejad is constantly being demonized in the western media and he is talking about moving away from USD currency. This would be considered a crime by the INTERNATIONAL BANKS and justification for another war in the Persian Gulf Region.
The so-called Prime Minister of Iraq Nuri Al-Maliki recently expressed his negative sentiments toward the Blackwater USA Security, a hired private mercenary firm who had been on a killing spree in Iraq. But Al-Maliki had sold his nation and his soul to the devil and this servant was talking as if Iraq was a sovereign nation and he was demanded that the Blackwater USA mercenaries be tried in an Iraqi court of law for murder. He forgot that he doesn’t have the jurisdiction to demand anything and do not even have the authority to banned Blackwater from doing business in Iraq. He has to get the permission from Master Bush to take any actions against this private security contractor. But this is the price you pay for selling your soul.
Many of us watched the 2007 Congressional elections where the Democrats in 2007 recaptured the U.S Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives and Nancy Polisie, a U.S. Congresswoman for California’s 8th District and was appointed as Speaker of the House. Thus, right prior to her appointment as Speaker she was growling and barking at President Bush’s foreign policy and was advocating change, in particular in Iraq. But has anyone notice that nothing has changed on Capitol Hill; although the Congress is controlled by the democrats, it is the same old game of business as usual, or do Nancy Polisie and President Bush work for the same Cabal?
The National Alliance published an article titled, “Who Rules America? Which they identify the media moguls and as having a covert Zionist agenda, it stated, “There is no greater power in the world today than that wield by the manipulators of public opinion in America. No King or Pope of old, no conquering general or high priest ever disposed of a power even remotely approaching that of the few dozen men who control America’s mass news…”
The ignorant masses in the United States citizen had been duped in to believing in the electoral process which had elected George Bush to the office of President in 2000 and 2004 and could not imagine after these elections that they were powerless. Their vote only served as an illusion of so-called exercising the greatest power that upholds a free nation’s claim to democracy, is the right to vote. Some of the most respected United States mass mediums outlets had announced Al Gore as the next president of the United States in the 2000 presidential election. Gore had garnished more popular votes than Bush, but the Electoral College votes created controversy in the State of Florida, which led to a reversal and Bush later claimed Florida (where his brother Jeb Bush was Governor) and the presidency of the United States.
The United States Supreme Court had to determine the presidential election winner in the United States in the year of 2000; although this judicial exercise of authority was set to give the appearance that the three branches of government was at work and intact. The United States Supreme Court and some of its most prominent justices were appointed by Ronald Reagan (Honorary 33rd Degree Mason) and former President George Herbert Walker Bush, a Council on Foreign Relations, former CIA director, Bildaberger and Trilateral Commission member. It left little doubt that his son, George W. Bush appointment to serve the Hidden Hand had already been determined outside the ballot boxes.
They merely had to first convince the ignorant masses by deceiving them in to believing that their vote counted and to solidify Bush’s appointment the HIDDEN CABAL created the 9-11 debacle as a diversionary tactic, which led the masses to argue and protest about ballots and voting machines, recounts, voter reform, etc., while “King George” put the final touches on his silent coup de tart.
Civil Rights Leaders such as Jesse Jackson, Sr., Kwesi Mfume, Al Sharpton, Cynthia McKinney, Shelia Lee-Jackson, Ted Kennedy and many liberal democrats (including the Congressional Black Caucasus) were outraged and agitated (at least they appeared this way in public) at what had taken place in Florida. The masses of the people became so engulfed in 9-11 they even forgot that Bush had even stole an election. The polls directly after 9-11 were indicating that his approval ratings had reach an all time high for a president, but many had forgotten so quickly what happened in Florida.
This writer listened to political commentaries being made by Tavis Smiley of National Public Radio (NPR) and frequent guest on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, a syndicated radio program; moreover give these beautiful written OPED pieces on what happened in Florida and how pristine the right to vote was for black Americans in particular and all Americans in general. But Smiley does not understand that the President has never been elected by vote, they are appointed by THE UNSEEN HAND.
The Bush election was actually certified by a Cabal, the Hidden Hand and not by the Florida State Board of Elections, but by one of their agent’s Katherine Harris Florida Secretary of State; thus, Bush was handpicked and made president in a secret ballot that was cast by some of the most powerful men in the world and their influential organizations.
David Icke in his book titled, The Biggest Secret, stated, “We are on the cusp of an incredible global change. A crossroads where we make decisions which will influence life on Earth well into the future of what we call time. We can fling open the doors of the mental and emotional prisons which have confined the human race for thousands of years. Or we can allow the agents of that control to complete their agenda for the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical enslavement of every man, woman and child on the planet with a world government, army, central bank and currency, underpinned by a microchipped population”.
Lastly, lets not be mistaken Al Gore is on the Council of Foreign Relations, Bilderberg, and member of the Trilateral Commission which means he too is a servant of the Hidden Hand and would have received the same orders that George Bush received which was to serve their interest and the not United States electorate nor the United Nations.
Theses national and international politicians and leaders are only executing the “play book” that is designed by Henry Oppenheimer, Edgar Bronfman, Michael Eisner, Gerald Levin, Edmund de Rothschild, Henry Kissinger, Lord Carrington, David Rockefeller, etc. They recently awarded Al Gore with a Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental work but actually this so-called prestigious award was giving to him for obedience and loyalty to the HIDDEN HAND and not really contesting their decision to appoint George W. Bush over him.

FREEMASONRY: WHY IS IT SO INTRIGUING?
“FREEMASONRY: WHY IS IT SO INTRIGUING ?”
By Fahim A. Knight
The topic and subject of Freemasonry has always drawn curiosity, suspicion, criticism, and admiration simultaneously throughout human history from its pundits and supporters, both equally holding fervent and credible positions. The Freemasonic detractors view Freemasonry as nothing else but a “secret society” bent on infiltrating every society with an objective of undermining the nations of the world sovereignty and supplanting the worship of God and religion with a non-sectarian universal concept of the Supreme Being, which is in so-called contradictory to Christianity, the dominant religion of the West. But those who are the arch deceivers of humanity use this theory to dismiss any rational debate and/or argument that might arise in opposition to the dominant way of thinking. Religion has always been used as a tool to control and confine people and has always hindered society’s ability to evolve historically and man has been presently made stagnated by myths, misconceptions, half-truths, folklore, tradition, etc., to the detriment of his own spiritual and social progress.(Reference: Ralph Epperson; Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity)
This writer does not necessarily share in the belief that visible Freemasonry, meaning the rank and file lodges that you see in cities and towns across the United States and world, are operating behind a sinister and diabolic agenda and is part of a world conspiracy (such as the Order of Illuminati) possessing power and influence to manipulate the political, economic, and social lives of humanity. The type which Carroll Quigley (Tragedy and Hope), William Cooper (Behold the Pale Horse), John Coleman (The Committee of 300), David Icke (The Biggest Secret), Gary Allen and Larry Abraham (None Dare Call it Conspiracy), Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages) Texe Marrs (The Circle of Intrigue), etc., have so thoroughly written about.
However, that being said, it does not alleviate the notion that there are layers of Freemasonry (an Invisible Caste System) and men who practiced "High Degree" Masonry (scholars and laymen alike have a tendency of lumping these two distinct entities under one umbrella) and I am not referring to the attainable degrees acquired under the Scottish Rite and/or York Rite Orders. These Orders only give the impression of being Elitist, but there are a group of International Bankers and their Dynastic Families who uses Freemasonry to dupe the world and at same time they communicate with signs and symbols to confine both the ignorant and wise. Power is never shared with the masses and this small, but powerful invisible Elitist sector control 99% of the world's resources and wealth. They are only motivated by greed and the quest for more power, unlike the Mason who was first made a Mason in their heart and accepted the call for benevolence--espoused in Morality, Friendship and Brotherly Love.(Reference: Ralph Epperson; The New World Order).
Masonry then poses as a counter system of Ethos to religion, attracting individuals of all religious persuasions and faiths who have the ability to think outside the walls of dogmatic faith traditions in search of universals truths that have been time tested and is in correlation to the universal order of things (Macrocosm and Microcosm). Freemasonry act as a conduit allowing men to possess philosophical thoughts, which might not be consistent with their faith traditions, but are not persecuted for exploring intellectual or the philosophical gamut of ideas, which even might demonstrate inconsistency with one’s faith tradition, but the lessons of tolerance is expected to emancipate and deliver a Masonic brother away from shadowiness and confinement of religion. (Reference: Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas; The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus).
The Masonic brother entering the Masonic lodge as an Entered Apprentice is divested of all metallic substance and stripped of all their worldly possessions, which is the first step of preparation to transforming man from what he has become in this external world (physical) and what he is expecting or anticipating of becoming in his new internal (spiritual) travel. This symbolic step is not govern by materialism, which has help to lead him astray from the true path of spirituality and is not rooted in man’s relationship with the universal order of things. But to embrace this concept, he ultimately discovers that God is not dead. Masonry in its rituals and teachings has always used allegory and symbolism as the basis of Speculative Masonic philosophy in order to tap into universal truths that is not necessarily associated with organized religion—Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which do have semblance of the “Higher Science” incorporated. (Reference: Robert Lomas; Turning The Hiram Key).
W.L. Wilmshurst in his book titled, “The Meaning of Masonry, “The meaning of Masonry, however, is a subject usually left entirely unexpounded and that accordingly remains largely unrealized by its members save such few as make it their private study; authorities of what in all other respects is an elaborately organized and admirably controlled community have hitherto made no provision for explaining and teaching the ‘noble science’ which Masonry proclaims itself to be and was certainly designed to impart. It seems taken for granted that reception into the Order will automatically be accompanied by an ability to appreciate forthwith and at its full value all that one there finds. The contrary is the case, for Masonry is a veiled and cryptic expression of the difficult science of spiritual life.” (Reference: W.L. Wilmshurst; The Meaning of Masonry).
But these faith traditions only allows Freemasonry to exercise its principles in a quasi independent manner, as long as it does not infringe to much on its core religious dogmas. Religion, in particular western religion is confining and is rigid and do not allow room for deviation—or freethinking, thus, Freemasonry seeks to bring man from “Darkness to Light” by encouraging and inspiring man to search for more light (truth) in Masonry with the understanding that this will be an infinite journey that can not be restricted by religion or its tenets. Although, Freemasonry in the West rely heavily on the Holy Bible in order to justify its ritual and give spiritual meaning to its body of symbolism. (Reference: John Rice; Lodges Examined By The Bible).
Albert G. Mackey authored in the 1850s “Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and it was later revised by Robert I. Clegg titled, “ Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and he stated, “Thus in the very instance here referred to, the fundamental law of Freemasonry requires only a belief in the Supreme Architect of the universe, and in a future life, while it says, with peculiar toleration, that in all other matters of religious belief, Freemasons are only expected to be of that religion in which all men agree, leaving their particular opinions to themselves. Under the shelter of this wise provision, the Christian and Jew, the Mohammedan {Muslim} and the Brahmin, are permitted to unite around our common altar, and Freemasonry becomes, in practice as well as in theory, universal. . . The truth is, that Freemasonry is undoubtedly a religious institution—its religion being of that universal kind in which all men agree, and which, handed down through a long succession of ages, from that ancient priesthood who first taught it embraces the great tenets of the existence of God and the immortality of the soul—the tenets which, by its peculiar symbolic language, it has preserved from its foundation, and still continues, in the same beautiful way, to teach.” (Reference: Robert I. Clegg; Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry).
The Bible was originally written in the Hebrew and/or Amharic language and this writer will cite the various translations, it has gone through since the original tongue. The New Testament was first translated from Hebrew into Greek; the Vulgate 400 A.D. New Latin version by Jerome using Greek and Hebrew texts; Lindisfarne Gospels—698-721 A.D. Gospels in Latin; Bede 735 A.D. part of John Gospel in Anglo Saxon; Erasmus Greek and Latin New Testament 1516 A.D.; John Wycliffe First Bible in English 1526 A.D.; William Tyndale the first printed English New Testament 1526 A.D. but in 1604 A.D.; Miles Coverdale first printed English Bible 1535 A.D.; The Great Bible 1539 A.D.; The Geneva Bible first small edition 1560 A.D.; The Bishop Bible; The Douai-Rheims Bible Roman Catholic Version 1609 A.D.; King James the authorized version 1611 A.D.; King James English Revised version 1881-1885 A.D.; King James Revised King James version 1609 A.D.; Jerusalem Bible 1966 A.D.; New English Bible 1970 A.D.; Good News Bible 1976 A.D. ; New International version 1979 A.D. (Reference: Malachi Z. York; The Book of Revelations).
King James 1 of England at the Hampton Court Conference commissioned forty-seven (47) biblical scholars to transliterate the Bible from Hebrew, Greek, and Latin too English, which was completed in 1611 A. D. It was during this translation process that the Bible was altered and changed to satisfy the imperialistic interest of the ruling class. King James also had all forty-seven (47) scholars put to death after they completed the translation because King James did not ever want this information revealed. A secret evolved from this act of religious deception and some scholars have determined that there were some “Lost Books of the Bible”. What did these books contain? Why were they removed from the Bible? How has this affected Christianity as a religion? These are intriguing questions, which I am quite sure have been investigated by theologians and religious scholars. This researcher will not be seeking to answer these questions because our focus is on Freemasonry. (Reference: Tim C. Leedom; The Book Your Church Doesn’t Want You to Read).
The Bible is held in high esteem in Western Masonic lodges and is viewed as the “Great Light” but unlike the Christian Church it is not accepted in the Masonic lodge as the only and final word of God given to humanity. Yet, many Christian critics have argued that a true Christian can not be a Mason because the Masonic “theology”, which is not an accurate depiction or characterization of Masonic philosophy; however, according to the Christian critics, most of the Masonic exegeses are not consistent with the Christian religious creed. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the three world great religions, all share principles that are compatible and in direct correlations to the Masonic worldview, but true association is seen even further in the Gnostic, esoteric and occult interpretations of these faith traditions. (Reference: E. M. Stroms; Should A Christian Be a Mason?)
For example, Judaism was practiced by the Hebrew Israelites long before the Khazars and the Ashkenazi (European Jews) migrated from Eastern Europe and Asia to modern day Israel (Palestine) or before Theodore Hertzl echoed the call for a Zionist movement in the 1880s or the Balfour Declaration Treaty in 1917 that culminated in 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel. The original Hebrew Israelites were of African origin and all biblical evidence verify this contention and the wise and learned from this nationality were initiated in the Egyptian Mystery Schools. The first Masonic styled school of initiation where as scholars and intellectuals came from around the world to be initiated into what later became known as Speculative Freemasonry (Philosophical High Science) espoused in ancient Egypt (Kemet). There is a High Degree Masonic Rabbinical class that functions in and outside the Jewish Synagogue. (Reference: Ella J. Hughley; The Truth About Black Biblical Hebrew Israelites (Jews) )
The Egyptians (Kemities) had been teachings immortality long before the allegorical legend of Hiram Abiff was introduced into Freemasonry as a biblical prototype of the Egyptian Osirian Myth (birth, death, resurrection and ascension), which predated even the story of Jesus. Scholars like Wallis Budge in his monumental book titled “The Egyptian Book of the Dead” and the “Egyptian Coffin Text” that eloquently investigate the importance of immorality within the Egyptian perception of the schemes of nature—life and death is synonymous (rise and fall of the summer and winter solstice). (Reference this author’s article titled, “Christmas: Jesus--The Sun God, Lies, Deceptions and the Truth.” Jesus the Christ (Yeshua Ben Yosef) of 2000 years ago was taught in the Egyptian Mystery Schools and this is why from age twelve (12) to the age of thirty (30) there is a void in the Bible and lack of historical continuity of Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) life and ministry. (Reference: Zachery P. Gremillion; African Origins of Freemasonry).
Moreover, for eighteen (18) years Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was being initiated into the Egyptian Mystery Schools (Jesus had reached priesthood after his 18 years of study). Also, ironically Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was a carpenter (interpret to mean he worked with the 24 inch gauge, common gavel, square, level, plumb line, etc) and had the tools to raise man from a “dead level to a living perpendicular on the square, 90 degrees upright.” Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was student of Operative and Speculative Freemasonry. The numerology plays out like this 1+8=9, nine (9) is a Masonic number, which represents completion; 1 + 2 =3; Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) reappear at age 30, the three (3) occurs again and Jesus Ministry ends at age thirty-three (33). And on the third (3) day Jesus (Yeshua Ben Yosef) was resurrected from the grave. He represented the Trinity (3 divine entities the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost). (Reference: Manly P. Hall; The Secret Teachings of All Ages).
The number Three (3) is a spiritual number and is highly recognized in Masonic numerology (the 33rd degree, is a honorary conferred and terminal degree in Freemasonry bestowed by the United Supreme Council ordinarily in an elaborate four day to a week long initiation ceremony held in Washington, DC). The attendees at these 33rd degree conferment ceremonies could be classified as a Who’s Who amongst the movers and shakers in the world—attended by U.S. presidents, foreign presidents, supreme court justices, ambassadors, top level politicians, business executives, etc. It took Jesus just three years to enact a historical legacy that has shaped human history for the last 2,000 years and those that direct the world today are doing it on just thirty-three (33) degrees of knowledge.
Dr. Malachi Z. York (Formerly known as Imam As Sayyid Issa Al Haadi Al Mahdi) stated that, “The Dead Sea Scrolls of the Qumran Caves, which were discovered in 1947 A.D., are the oldest surviving records of the Old Testament, some of them were written in the Aramaic language while others in the Hebrew language. These scrolls are associated with the Essenes who founded a strict religious community off the Northwestern shore of the Dead Sea. The Prophet/Messiah Jesus was a member of the Essenes and it is a fact that he and his disciples spoke Galilean, a dialect of Aramaic.” (Reference: Malachi Z. York; The Book of Revelations).
This writer in March 2008 was in Barnes and Nobles looking to purchase another book that was out of print and looked over and saw this thick reference book written by John Michael Greer titled, “The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Hidden History” this reference books is a very good resource for those who are engaged in this type research. This writer believes that Essenes, a fraternity of wise men whom Jesus belonged had all the makings of an early styled Masonic organization. Greer Stated: Essenes a sect of Jewish mystics active in Palestine around the beginning of the Common Era, the Essenes were known only from scattered references in a handful of ancient books until 1947, when the Dead Sea Scrolls came to light in a cave near Qumran in Jordan. As with most of the secret traditions of the ancient world, the Essenes were woven into many theories of the history of secret societies, and turned into the ancestors of several nineteenth- and twentieth-century secret societies in the western world. Much of the misinformation still circulating about the Essenes in popular culture comes from this source. . .Between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the references in Josephus and other ancient writers, a fairly clear history of the Essenes can be pieced together. They emerged out of the tangled religious politics of the kingdom of Judea in the second century BCE, as a group of puritanical Jews convinced that Judaism of their time had gone astray.” (Reference: John Michael Grier; The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies and Hidden History).
Freemasonry has always coexisted quite well with Judaism, as well as with the teachings of the Torah and the Talmud, but it found more of a comfort zone in embracing the esoteric principles represented in the Jewish Kabbalah tradition and the teachings of the Jewish Kyballion was more of a liberal teachings than the rigid theology associated with traditional Judaism. The same for Islam, it would be Sufi Islam and its paths to Allah (God) that would be the spiritual sanctuary that the teachings of Freemasonry has always found compatibility, which to express its spiritual teachings beyond traditional organized religion. Shia Islam and Freemasonry allegedly share some historical roots (this slant or propaganda is put forth by the Mystic Shrine and is not wholeheartedly embraced by Shia Islam). Also, Islam provided the Masons with the Ismailism and unlike Sunni Islam, which for the most part has always viewed Freemasonry as being anti-Islam and its teachings as heretical (refer to this authors article titled, " Freemasonry and Islam: What do They Share?"). The Sunni Islam in some circles teaches that Freemasonry is a Zionist inspired organization bent on destroying Islam and in some Islamic societies like Saudi Arabia the teachings of Freemasonry is outlawed and one could be punished under the strict Islamic laws advocated under the Sharia. (Reference Arkon Daraul: Secret Societies: A History).
However, in other so-called Middle Eastern nations such as Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, etc., Freemasonry has not met the opposition in these nations and Masonic lodges were allowed to flourish with little state resistance. The majority of the Islamic aristocracy actually have membership in Western based Masonic Lodges and sit in lodges with the likes of George W. Bush, Dick Chaney, Ben Shalom Bernanke, Paul Wolfowitz, Paul Bremer, etc., and it is they who determine what OPEC oil pricing should be on the daily markets (presently 120.00 USD per Barrel), they determine the gold standard value, devaluation of nations currencies (including the United States Dollar), the next war agenda, etc. (Reference: Ashahed M. Muhammad; The Synagogue of Satan).
The legendary Hiram Abiff, the so-called Master builder of King Solomon’s Temple who left his unfinished work on the Trestle Board due to a conspiracy, these present day low level operatives will not be deceived by any Ruffians and they have been ordained to complete the Temple (the building blocks for the New World Order and the one World Government). Most Americans, in particular and people the world over in general, have no clue that the United States economic recession, the Subprime mortgage scandal, inflation, the astronomical gas prices, weaken of the U. S. Dollar, the forging ahead of the unjust war in Iraq, rising cost of agriculture—food commodities, etc., are not coincidental or unpredictable political, economic and social phenomena--many are unaware of the true cause and effect that drives these so-called crisis, which is at the finger tip and pulse of a small, but powerful Elitist group of men and it is they who determines all international monetary systems and in a soft way they have called for the international debt. (Reference: Gary Allen and Larry Abraham None Dare Call it Conspiracy)
President George W. Bush and the United States Congress are active participants of the Elitist agenda and have helped in the last eight (8) years to further financially empower these invisible men to the detriment of the United States citizens and the citizens of the world. Bush is now borrowing money from the Chinese (so-called Communist nation) to stimulate the United States economy and it is mere insult to injury to be offering the American people $600.00 to $1,200.00 tax rebate checks as a form of economic relief to resolve their long term economic misery.
These issues are often discussed even outside our elected officials. This Inner Circle are often initiated into various Freemason styled Orders, which most of the Islamic Nations leadership are card carrying members and have taken Masonic obligations outside of their confession of faith-- Shadaah (where Muslims utter in presences of Muslim witnesses that he/she “bears witness there is no God, but Allah and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah is his Messenger”). But money and power has led to Many high profile Muslim leaders embracing the West in order to continue receiving the crumbs that fall from the rich man's (America and Great Britain) table. Freemasonry is a brotherhood that extends the ends of the earth and it wields more power than governments. The Mason is only placed in the Northwest corner temporarily where there is no Light (sun is equivalent to knowledge) and it has been Masonic light that has set the world into motion and this notion alone is intriguing to humanity. (Reference: David Icke; The Biggest Secret).
Lastly, this writer has constantly challenged Prince Hall Masons, the African American fraternity to pursue Masonic research and scholarship in order to have a larger voice in the arena of Freemasonic ideas. Freemasonry is a vast and complex subject with many turns—pros and cons that is begging for students of Prince Hall Masonry to offer an interpretation and stop looking to be led intellectually by outside scholars and researchers. No, one person or group of persons have a monopoly on Masonic knowledge and it is open to all who seek to engage. The black Masons uses the obligations they swore to honor and uphold as a weak and lame excuse for not writing Masonic history because the obligations (Enter Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason) forbade and instruct the Freemason not to write, carve, print, mark, utter, speak—a word, sign, symbol, etc., of Freemasonry to the non-initiated or communicate the same to a person you know that has not been “ Tried, Never Denied and is Ready to be Tried Again.” This creates fear relative to what is permissible, which most Freemasons do not desire to be in violation of the solemn oaths because the old arcade penalties given and recited during the ceremonies strikes fear in the initiated Neophyte. This writer does respect such honor, but we must rise above these fears and find the proper balance which to explore and critique this age old Craft. “Whence came you?” “From the Lodge of the Holy Saint Johns of Jerusalem”; what came you here to do?”; to improve myself in Masonry.”

Stay Awake Until We Meet Again, Fahim A. Knight
By Fahim A. Knight
The topic and subject of Freemasonry has always drawn curiosity, suspicion, criticism, and admiration simultaneously throughout human history from its pundits and supporters, both equally holding fervent and credible positions. The Freemasonic detractors view Freemasonry as nothing else but a “secret society” bent on infiltrating every society with an objective of undermining the nations of the world sovereignty and supplanting the worship of God and religion with a non-sectarian universal concept of the Supreme Being, which is in so-called contradictory to Christianity, the dominant religion of the West. But those who are the arch deceivers of humanity use this theory to dismiss any rational debate and/or argument that might arise in opposition to the dominant way of thinking. Religion has always been used as a tool to control and confine people and has always hindered society’s ability to evolve historically and man has been presently made stagnated by myths, misconceptions, half-truths, folklore, tradition, etc., to the detriment of his own spiritual and social progress.(Reference: Ralph Epperson; Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity)
This writer does not necessarily share in the belief that visible Freemasonry, meaning the rank and file lodges that you see in cities and towns across the United States and world, are operating behind a sinister and diabolic agenda and is part of a world conspiracy (such as the Order of Illuminati) possessing power and influence to manipulate the political, economic, and social lives of humanity. The type which Carroll Quigley (Tragedy and Hope), William Cooper (Behold the Pale Horse), John Coleman (The Committee of 300), David Icke (The Biggest Secret), Gary Allen and Larry Abraham (None Dare Call it Conspiracy), Manly P. Hall (The Secret Teachings of All Ages) Texe Marrs (The Circle of Intrigue), etc., have so thoroughly written about.
However, that being said, it does not alleviate the notion that there are layers of Freemasonry (an Invisible Caste System) and men who practiced "High Degree" Masonry (scholars and laymen alike have a tendency of lumping these two distinct entities under one umbrella) and I am not referring to the attainable degrees acquired under the Scottish Rite and/or York Rite Orders. These Orders only give the impression of being Elitist, but there are a group of International Bankers and their Dynastic Families who uses Freemasonry to dupe the world and at same time they communicate with signs and symbols to confine both the ignorant and wise. Power is never shared with the masses and this small, but powerful invisible Elitist sector control 99% of the world's resources and wealth. They are only motivated by greed and the quest for more power, unlike the Mason who was first made a Mason in their heart and accepted the call for benevolence--espoused in Morality, Friendship and Brotherly Love.(Reference: Ralph Epperson; The New World Order).
Masonry then poses as a counter system of Ethos to religion, attracting individuals of all religious persuasions and faiths who have the ability to think outside the walls of dogmatic faith traditions in search of universals truths that have been time tested and is in correlation to the universal order of things (Macrocosm and Microcosm). Freemasonry act as a conduit allowing men to possess philosophical thoughts, which might not be consistent with their faith traditions, but are not persecuted for exploring intellectual or the philosophical gamut of ideas, which even might demonstrate inconsistency with one’s faith tradition, but the lessons of tolerance is expected to emancipate and deliver a Masonic brother away from shadowiness and confinement of religion. (Reference: Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas; The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasonry, and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus).
The Masonic brother entering the Masonic lodge as an Entered Apprentice is divested of all metallic substance and stripped of all their worldly possessions, which is the first step of preparation to transforming man from what he has become in this external world (physical) and what he is expecting or anticipating of becoming in his new internal (spiritual) travel. This symbolic step is not govern by materialism, which has help to lead him astray from the true path of spirituality and is not rooted in man’s relationship with the universal order of things. But to embrace this concept, he ultimately discovers that God is not dead. Masonry in its rituals and teachings has always used allegory and symbolism as the basis of Speculative Masonic philosophy in order to tap into universal truths that is not necessarily associated with organized religion—Judaism, Christianity and Islam, which do have semblance of the “Higher Science” incorporated. (Reference: Robert Lomas; Turning The Hiram Key).
W.L. Wilmshurst in his book titled, “The Meaning of Masonry, “The meaning of Masonry, however, is a subject usually left entirely unexpounded and that accordingly remains largely unrealized by its members save such few as make it their private study; authorities of what in all other respects is an elaborately organized and admirably controlled community have hitherto made no provision for explaining and teaching the ‘noble science’ which Masonry proclaims itself to be and was certainly designed to impart. It seems taken for granted that reception into the Order will automatically be accompanied by an ability to appreciate forthwith and at its full value all that one there finds. The contrary is the case, for Masonry is a veiled and cryptic expression of the difficult science of spiritual life.” (Reference: W.L. Wilmshurst; The Meaning of Masonry).
But these faith traditions only allows Freemasonry to exercise its principles in a quasi independent manner, as long as it does not infringe to much on its core religious dogmas. Religion, in particular western religion is confining and is rigid and do not allow room for deviation—or freethinking, thus, Freemasonry seeks to bring man from “Darkness to Light” by encouraging and inspiring man to search for more light (truth) in Masonry with the understanding that this will be an infinite journey that can not be restricted by religion or its tenets. Although, Freemasonry in the West rely heavily on the Holy Bible in order to justify its ritual and give spiritual meaning to its body of symbolism. (Reference: John Rice; Lodges Examined By The Bible).
Albert G. Mackey authored in the 1850s “Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and it was later revised by Robert I. Clegg titled, “ Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry” and he stated, “Thus in the very instance here referred to, the fundamental law of Freemasonry requires only a belief in the Supreme Architect of the universe, and in a future life, while it says, with peculiar toleration, that in all other matters of religious belief, Freemasons are only expected to be of that religion in which all men agree, leaving their particular opinions to themselves. Under the shelter of this wise provision, the Christian and Jew, the Mohammedan {Muslim} and the Brahmin, are permitted to unite around our common altar, and Freemasonry becomes, in practice as well as in theory, universal. . . The truth is, that Freemasonry is undoubtedly a religious institution—its religion being of that universal kind in which all men agree, and which, handed down through a long succession of ages, from that ancient priesthood who first taught it embraces the great tenets of the existence of God and the immortality of the soul—the tenets which, by its peculiar symbolic language, it has preserved from its foundation, and still continues, in the same beautiful way, to teach.” (Reference: Robert I. Clegg; Mackey’s Jurisprudence of Freemasonry).

This Inner Circle are often initiated into various Freemason styled Orders, which most of the Islamic Nations leadership are card carrying members and have taken Masonic obligations outside of their confession of faith-- Shadaah (where Muslims utter in presences of Muslim witnesses that he/she “bears witness there is no God, but Allah and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah is his Messenger”). But money and power has led to Many high profile Muslim leaders embracing the West in order to continue receiving the crumbs that fall from the rich man's (America and Great Britain) table. Freemasonry is a brotherhood that extends the ends of the earth and it wields more power than governments. The Mason is only placed in the Northwest corner temporarily where there is no Light (sun is equivalent to knowledge) and it has been Masonic light that has set the world into motion and this notion alone is intriguing to humanity. (Reference: David Icke; The Biggest Secret).
Lastly, this writer has constantly challenged Prince Hall Masons, the African American fraternity to pursue Masonic research and scholarship in order to have a larger voice in the arena of Freemasonic ideas. Freemasonry is a vast and complex subject with many turns—pros and cons that is begging for students of Prince Hall Masonry to offer an interpretation and stop looking to be led intellectually by outside scholars and researchers. No, one person or group of persons have a monopoly on Masonic knowledge and it is open to all who seek to engage. The black Masons uses the obligations they swore to honor and uphold as a weak and lame excuse for not writing Masonic history because the obligations (Enter Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason) forbade and instruct the Freemason not to write, carve, print, mark, utter, speak—a word, sign, symbol, etc., of Freemasonry to the non-initiated or communicate the same to a person you know that has not been “ Tried, Never Denied and is Ready to be Tried Again.” This creates fear relative to what is permissible, which most Freemasons do not desire to be in violation of the solemn oaths because the old arcade penalties given and recited during the ceremonies strikes fear in the initiated Neophyte. This writer does respect such honor, but we must rise above these fears and find the proper balance which to explore and critique this age old Craft. “Whence came you?” “From the Lodge of the Holy Saint Johns of Jerusalem”; what came you here to do?”; to improve myself in Masonry.”
