Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was watching the 6:30 pm evening news on ABC television (I call it the idiot box) with Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos on January 9, 2012 in which the top story was coming out of Iran where a young Iranian-American citizen named Amir Mirzaei Hekmati was being charged with espionage and being a CIA agent. I have not seen the evidence to determine the credibly of the charges, but I do know this much, we cannot trust the western talking heads to give us the un-slanted facts in this case, but I must admit the death penalty sound very harsh in this matter. I am not an authority on the Islamic Jurisprudence System and/or Sharia Law) so who am I to even make this type statement. However, this scenario is not above or beneath the CIA modus operandi—they are masters of covert operations Amir Mirzaei Hekmati could have been on special assignment as a U.S. Marine during his tour in Iraq and may be his assignment was extended to Iran—he does speaks the language, he is a Muslim and racially and ethnically could fit into the culture; thus, these are perfect variables alone that would make him a perfect candidate for a foreign agent taking on an infiltration assignment behind so-called enemy lines in Iran. This much we do know, that he was a former United States Marine in which his sworn loyalty was to the United States Government and the United States Constitution. The former U.S. Marine Hekmati was allegedly visiting his grandmother back in August 2011 in Iran when he was arrested for spying on behalf of U.S. interest. Moreover, an Iranian court has found him guilty and sentence him to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first book that I read, that got my attention, about our government systematic lies was “Deadly Deceits: My twenty-five years in the CIA”, I was astonished that this ex-CIA agent Ralph W. McGehee had written and documented some of the covert inner workings of the CIA. However, I later grew to understand that some people are merely convicted by truth and not by fear and would place their lives on the line because of a higher calling. There are many who joined the arm forces and law enforcement to truly serve and protect, as well as defend and protect the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. But from time-to-time some rare men and women who joined these various military cores learned through being involved in the higher inner political and military decision making process learned that lies, trickery and hypocrisy were the order of day and felt that their sworn duty and obligation was being compromised and violated by warmongers at the top level. Also, some have felt that some of the assignments they were given violated the oath they swore to uphold—this led them to take a personal stance against U.S. tyranny; but anytime you take the type of position that Ralph W. McGehee took there is a career and personal price that one pays (meaning there are consequences). There are some/few who are willing to risk it all for the sake of truth and justice. William (Bill) Cooper who was a former U.S. Naval Intelligence officer and authored the controversial book titled, "Behold the Pale Horse" and he like Ralph W. McGehee also exposes the U.S. Government military deceptions. It is my belief that Government (FBI, US Marshals, CIA, ATF and local law enforcement) in the Arizona area assassinated William Cooper because his views were totally outside the box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This recent incident in Iran has heightened the tension between the United States and Iran and it has now become a serious war of words. However, this is only a smoke scream in reality, the U.S. Government do not give a damn about one agent who has been captured behind enemy lines (he is expendable), but the greatest interest is using this incident as political leverage to set in motion the real intentions of justifying a war once again under false pretense (this conflict is about oil interest which is no different than the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan). But on another front there is something else brewing and I am going come right out and say it, they have openly declared war on Islam in the name of fighting terrorism and radical militant Islam. The New World Order has multi-agendas and there is one, that is very seldom talked about by western scholars, which is the white so-called Christian World seeking to finish the incomplete work of the Knights Templar of the 11th Century; this is the real Secret of the Temple, which 9/11 set in motion and covertly reinstituted the Crusades (the 9/11 hoax justified an all out assault on Muslims and Islam); they are at war with Islam with an objective of establishing a New Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They still desire for Jewish and Christian pilgrims to travel freely to the so-called Holy Land without meeting at the crossroads with so-called Muslim terrorist (so-called religious infidels) and this modern conflict is really no different than it was over 1,000 years ago (between the Crescent and Sword). The Knights Templar and Jesuits took up the cross against the Muslim warriors. This new kingdom will perhaps crown one of the Rothschilds as the Zionist emperor and leader of the New World Order. But they must first destroy the only opposition to their rule, which is Islam (President Richard Nixon wrote about this in his book titled, "One World Superpower") and he admonishes that Islam was a force to be reckon with. Just look at the pattern in the early 1990s, they got their asses kicked in Somalia (Black Hawk down) by poor desert Muslims off the horn of Africa. They left Mogadishu as a defeated force. The United States has directly attacked or has been in cahoots in attacks on Islamic nations—Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Libya, etc., perhaps this is coincidental or may be not or does it serves as an example of a neo-Crusade objective. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iranian Government is threatening to close the vital waterway of the Straight of Hormuz, which would be a major disruption to the flow of the Middle East oil trade (to do this would be an unspoken declaration of war); in particular oil moving from Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is a reactionary pawn and puppet government that is under the direct control of the United States of America. I call it the fifty-second (52nd) state of the United States of America. The Wahhabi ruling class is used to pacify Islam, while the Saud family enjoys the perks of being a protectorate of the United States and caters to western interest. The United States unconditionally backs the Saudis strictly because of having control over the oil interest in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region—Oil, Oil, Oil is the glue that cements this relationship. Therefore, all of OPEC is controlled by U.S. interest and the foreign policy interest relative to Saudi Arabia has been shaped around United States oil interest in the region. The U.S. deems the relationship with Saudi Arabia of being vital and strategic in nature. The Muslims in my opinion do not expose these hypocrites enough in which no one is more in bed with the “Great Satan” than the seat of Islam. They are a disgrace to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's oil interest above all else that matters in this 33 year old conflict between Iran and the United States—they want the dumbfound masses to think and believe that America and the United Kingdom has a moral right to police the world and they use propaganda and disinformation campaign to sway public opinion against Iran. They create the boogie man syndrome, which to induce fear and panic that a "mad man" named Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is close to building a nuclear bomb and he poses an imminent danger to the national security of the United States and its western Allies and he must be stopped by any means necessary. This is enough distortion and deception to justify war in which the United States Congress and the President will declare war in the name of the American people. The U.S. taxpayers is already overburden, it cost them over one trillion dollars in Iraq and all they received were higher oil prices. Lets not be fooled though war is very profitable to those who are into the weaponry business and are given no bid U.S. Defense contracts to supply America's friends and enemies with sophisticated military technology and weapons. The 2003 Iraq War was a perfect example of their motives (using the ‘big lie’ strategy) in which the U.S. declared war based on a lie and did it unapologetically. I will always stand on the premise that the Iraq War started based on the basis of a lie in which the United States Government and the CIA had falsely accused Iraq and Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction. But beneath the lie was a hidden objective to steal the Iraqi people's oil. I guess in some of the western mindset, they find it plausible that the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, United States, etc., possess a white manifest destiny (God has ordained them supreme authority over humanity)—I think many would consider these to be Christian nations, but it is okay for them to carryout European imperialism throughout the world (because from the western world perspective they kill responsibly). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, many have forgotten that over 1 million innocent Iraqis were killed by the United States arm forces in Iraq and thousands are being killed in Afghanistan (these wars are about oil and dope). I think every sovereign nation has the right to self-determination and the right to defend themselves. I am more fearful of those who constructed and passed the U.S. Patriot Act and the mindsets behind Homeland Security than Muslims who the U.S. characterizes as terrorist (I am more fearful of President Barack Obama, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and our own government).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, many have forgotten and a great number does not understand that the U.S. Patriot Act was passed 43 days after 9/11 in which Americans were stripped of their civil liberties. Thus, we live in a police state and the entire nation is under surveillance (just look around you) and they later passed the Military Commission Act and the anti-Terrorism Bill, etc. They do not need the National Defense Act—there is enough in their arsenal to suspend the United States Constitution and declare you and all of us enemies against the state. They already have that authority without the National Defense Act to do this. But I have always drawn my inspiration from freedom fighters such as Marcus Garvey, Paul Robeson, WEB Dubois, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, Angela Davis, Geronimo Pratt, Elaine Brown, George Jackson, etc., and from their struggles against injustice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, a small minority of us knows and understands that the majority of U.S. politicians are nothing but agents for the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and has been under the direct guidance of Henry Kissinger. The majority of them are agents of the Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations and the political, economic, and social decisions they make are well crafted by their Elitist bosses; furthermore, they have always worked in the interest of these powerful organizations. Bush in 2001 blamed Al-Qaeda for bombing the World Trade Center and although there were no credible intelligence linking Saddam Hussein to Al-Qaeda, but Bush was anxious to blame Hussein and attack Iraq. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President George W. Bush falsely used the Weapons of Mass Destruction as a diversionary ploy in order to justify going into Iraq as an occupying force with the objective of seizing the opportunity to take over the Ramallah oil fields. They accomplish this mission and in the process of securing the Rockefeller’s oil interest, killed over a million Iraqis and which have acerbated the hatred for America in that region and as their deployment has so-called come to an end according to our Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama; they are viewed as the enemies of the Iraqi people and the enemies of Islam. The soldiers came home weeks ago but there were no widespread victory celebrations from the masses of the American people. Most Americans were against the war in Iraq and this is why you did not see any big fan fare upon their return to the United States. We know that they were merely used as foreign policy tools for the interest of the Invisible Elitist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They (the United States) killed their own agent Saddam Hussein, they had no other choice because he knew to much relative to the dirty tricks that he and the United States Government were involved in as international co-conspirators. But they have probably created hundreds of thousands of Jihadist looking to take Hussein and Osama Bin Laden’s place. If they call destroying Iraq’s infrastructure as being a measure of success then may be these people live on a different planet. The people of Iraq are more divided and destitute than they were under the rule of Saddam Hussein—there is no stability in the Iraqi government. But the present day reactionary leaders of Iraq are pawns and traitors against the legitimate aspirations of the masses of the Iraqi people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saddam Hussein no doubt was a CIA agent (everyone who is conscious knows that fact) and a U.S. Government agent provocateur—he was their man in the Middle East—the United States turned a blind eye in his slaughter of the Kurds in the northern part of Iraq and they provided him, his family and inner circle with a lavish life style. Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II all used him as tool for U.S. interest. President George W. Bush held a slight grudge against Saddam Hussein for allegedly calling for the assassination of his father George H.W. Bush. They all were members of the House of Saud and held seats as part of the Roundtable (bosom buddies). Hussein was armed by the U.S. Defense Department and the U.S. Pentagon as a hired gun to do the bidding of the United States in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. They armed and financed him to destabilize Imam Ayatollah Khomeini and to help them overthrow the 1979 Iranian Revolution (they did not like the fact that Imam Khomeini nationalized the oil revenues and this alone created an antagonistic contradiction between the U.S. and Iran). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CIA and United States Government has a history of lying—they lied about the Vietnam War; President Reagan and Colonel Oliver North lied about the Iran-Contra Gate scandal, where Reagan and North were covertly fighting a war in Central America against Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas and was illegally buying and trading Oil, Dope and Weapons between Iran (who had U.S. and U.N. imposed sanctions against them at that time). They were in direct violation of U.S. law and U.N. law in which Colonel Oliver North and President Ronald Reagan should have been charged and convicted of treason and sedition. But this illegal triangle trade arrangement in the 1980s between Iran, United States and Nicaragua was taking place without the knowledge of Congress or the American Taxpayers. Reagan and North had told massive lies. I can go on and on. Yes, they outright lied to the American people and globe that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction, and this fact cannot be casually overlooked and it was a premise of a lie that cost almost a million Iraqis their lives and cost close to 5,000 U.S. Servicemen their lives and thousands were injured because of a lie. I am not willing to overlook the damage and intellectualize this crime, which was rooted in a lie unlike other brainwashed Americans and duped foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Iranian Revolution, in particular the incident involving the American hostages’ crisis where Iran had held 52 Americans and European hostage for 444 days in 1979, which paralyzed U.S. and Iran relations. It was this incident that caused President Jimmy Carter (the peanut man from Georgia) a second presidential term. The Seven Oil Sisters and the United States had reaped huge amounts of money (trillions of dollars) from Iranian oil under another CIA agent provocateur Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavi (better known as the Shah of Iran). The United States and Europe had economically and financially benefited for decades off Iranian oil commodities via the corruption of the Shah. Tehran was called the Paris of the Middle East (where westerners came to get their freak on)—gambling, prostitution houses, alcohol establishments, it truly had become a Den of Inequity under the Shah rule—the religious principles of Islam had become compromised and quite naturally Caliph Ali Ibn Abi Talib (and May Allah be please with his soul) and Prophet Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH) were perhaps turning over in their graves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States Government is once again in 2012 using massive propaganda about the Iranians enriching Uranium and is at least close to producing an atom bomb. The U.S. and its Uncle Tom President Barack Obama is setting the stage for some type of military strike against Iran by continuously feeding the people propaganda and disinformation. Who decides which nation should have nuclear weapons? The United States was very irresponsible during World War II where they dropped an atomic bomb on some yellow people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. I guess this was historically viewed as being okay because they were killing people of color and not the other way around. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They financed Hussein for over eight years as he killed close to one million Iranians in the name of being a front man for United States interest/imperialism (he was a traitor against his own people). President George W.H. Bush (better known as Bush 1) was in bed with Saddam Hussein and was simanteously in political bed with the Al-Sabah family (reactionary pawns), the ruling monarch family of Kuwait who is corrupted to the core. The Kuwait government was horizontally oil drilling under the sovereign territory of Iraq and was stealing oil from the Iraq side of the border (Hussein’s government actually caught them doing this). Bush-1 decided that Hussein had out lived his usefulness and/or purpose and decided to go to war in Desert Shield and Desert Storm in order to remind Hussein that he was getting too big for his own good. But Hussein understood that Kuwait geographically speaking belonged to Iraq because the British led to this nation succeeding from Iraq (both countries and the people are one in the same). Once again the pretext for war was that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (this is called the big lie theory, which is often used as a tactic of western governments) he had complied with all the United Nations resolutions, but it did not matter because Bush and Cheney had serious financial interest in energy—Halliburton, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me digress a bit; yes, my blog is designed to enlighten those who were systematically made blind, deaf and dumb to the knowledge of self (none other than the so-called American Negro fit this description). There must be call to action and if nothing else at least the Occupy Wall Street movement does represent an openly public resistance and opposition to the rogue banking system and in international banking establishment. Many in the African-American community will be gearing up to honor and celebrate the birthday, life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this month of January (these old Civil Rights leaders and advocates are the epitome of hypocrisy) and every black church will have a King commemoration ceremony (and after the public celebration is over they will go back to doing nothing). Thus, they will be talking about how great a man and leader Dr. King was and yet forget about the need to emulate the model he set for struggle. Dr. King did not just give sermons at the church, but he saw a need to openly demonstrate against a racial system of injustice. He led marches, sit-ins, boycotts, picket lines, etc., as a measure of protest under the banner of non-violent civil disobedience. I think in the dumbing down process many of us have become immune to suffering and have accepted our status as sheep (owning a mortgage, automobile, paying taxes, financing our children education, etc.). We think that this gives us a vested interest in the American dream (which the hidden hand has turned this into an American nightmare), which has dimmed our will to struggle and fight these reactionary forces that keeps us under their dictates with an invisible ball and chain. Dr. King was killed in 1968in Memphis, Tennessee while he was in that city lending his support to sanitation workers. I want be optimistic and believe that good will always overturn evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer has wondered and pondered on what is it going to take in order to get humanity to begin to think outside the box and move in another direction; our ignorance renders us complicit in our own enslavement. It should be easy for humanity to just observe and look around them and it should render enough evidence to say that something has gone terribly wrong inside of our government. Our politicians continues to lie to the American people and got them to believing that the United States economy is going to get better—President Barack Obama has sold out but lets not get excited that I made this statement because all prior 43 presidents also sold out and the American people do not realize that it is going to get a lot worst before, it gets any better. The New World order has just about fully transitioned our society and globe into the One World Order Agenda (or one World Government) as the Club of Rome predicted we were headed over forty years ago. The so-called crashing of the global financial markets in 2008 was the first overt step in the dawning of a new era and represented the colliding of two worlds—old and new. The masses of the people were caught off guard and this is why their lack of understanding and ability to interpret these events has proven to be difficult for the masses to discern and make the proper adjustment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The economic crisis is beyond repairing because those who led to its dismantling were no longer willing to subsidize our false privileged status with a credit based (dissolved our monetary system that was once based on the Gold Standard) system that had max out relative to elastic currency and debt had become more of an un-recovering liability by 2008. The only option left was to induce and economic depression (this allowed them to call the global debt in and go undetected). Just imagine that there exist a small group of men who has the power to determine not just American affairs, but global affairs—they even possess the power to summons all world leaders to their beckon in which no decisions are made without their permission. The recent collapse of the Euro and economic collapse of Greece—they are responsible for the devaluing of Europe and America monetary currency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The masses of the American people still have no idea what has happened to them and have been duped into believing that President Barack Obama possess the authority and ability create an economic prosper America once again. I also think they were close in 2008 of introducing a new currency (and they were setting us for the new money) and I think this objective is still on the table. The induced 9-11 events laid the ground work for where we are right now in space and time—the masses of people are confused and disorientated; many are still bewildered about the events that has occurred over the last 11 years and never thought they would be betrayed by their own government. I have come to the same conclusion, but I wonder will humanity every wake up from their slumber and began to see what is taking place around them. They continue to sell us massive lies and deceptions and we buy it hook, line and sinker. This is bothersome to me because they use the same template to create wars, cause economic depressions, destabilize governments, etc., for the benefit of the Elitist few while the masses continues to suffer. 9-11 created a new level of evilness. They still do not realize that these events were shrewdly manipulated and some one(s) has the power to determine the outcome of what we perceive as world events (wars, famines, weather catastrophes, economy shifts, social rebellion, technology wars, etc.). It is not by coincidence that we have moved almost to a cashless society (I remember when I first started talking about this some years ago people thought that I was crazy and insane) and where money has steadily become devalued and you now need a money card that is barcode in which the government can track your consumer habits (this part is low on their espionage scale) and most of all track your movement. Your credit card and mobile phone is now your Global Positioning Satellite—they no longer need to put microchips in us who were born before 1990, they have supplied us with the technology that compromises our movement. Big Brother has all the tracking devices they need to keep tabs on humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But some of us are in denial and want to intellectually rationalize this reality; that humanity has been made slaves and there is an Elitist Cabal that is manipulating our political, economic and social reality. They are motivated by the lust of power and greed. All of humanity has a chokehold around their necks and are being strangled to death by these Dynastic "Emperors". Yes, they control, decide and determine financial markets, world crisis and decide who declares war on whom and determines who is going to win before the war begins. They are masterful CHESS PLAYERS. I just happen to have my eyes on the board.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been thoroughly duped and those in power play on the ignorance of humanity. I am not optimistic when it comes to the plight of the masses because they use massive propaganda and disinformation techniques to keep us sheep under control. I do believe that there are some powerful invisible forces, which have the power and ability to pull the purse strings over the political, economic, and social reality of the entire globe (this is not conspiracy theory, but here are three powerful entities: The Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group). Moreover, you can collectively gather all the billionaires the world over and they may appear as powerful persons in the image of media, but they have no power when it comes those who possess generational wealth building (historical Dynastic Families) and the majority of these types will not be caught in same room with their billionaire servants, in particular when it comes to decision making (they are truly a non-factor in the power dynamics). But low level operatives and this also includes President Barack Obama who was selected as opposed to being "elected" president of these United States of America in which he and many others have signed on to carryout the agenda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers have already committed themselves to giving President Barack Obama a second presidential term. I know many of you think that we have yet to vote in the 2012 presidential election and you are right, but guess what your votes do not mean anything the ballot has already been decided and four more years has been granted to Obama. Why would they change servants when this one is doing an excellent job on their behalf? They invested over 500 million dollars in his first campaign. But lets be fair he is not responsible for the economic misery and demise of the United States economy (neither was George W. Bush their duty is to execute the play book in which all decisions are predetermined for them). The dismantling of our economy has been a work in progress for at least 40 years Henry Kissinger was one of the premier architects of how the New World Order and globalist would obliterate the concept of individual and corporate sovereignty. The eradication of individual freedoms is one the most recent greatest crimes of all times in which they have duped the people into believing that our national security was being jeopardized by so-called radical Islamist extremist (lies and propaganda) and yet they did not tell us that the Rothschilds and Rockefellers were more dangerous to the global security and stability of the political, economic and social welfare of all humanity than all the world terrorist put together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rothschilds do not have to use suicide bombing techniques or use acts of violence to create and induce fear; they accomplish the same goals by hoarding the world's wealth and resources, which creates death sentences and global misery for eighty-five percent of the globe. Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central and South America, etc., are suffering because the Rothschilds have stolen these nations wealth—they hide behind powerful front institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. I wonder will Obama, Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman and/or Ron Paul have the galls to call for a redistribution of the world's wealth—this is the only solution to human suffering (let me state again as I have stated in previous articles, it is criminal for 99 % of the world's wealth to be owned and controlled by 1%. of the population). No, human being should go hungry, homeless, without proper and adequate health care, not have fresh drinking water and not be educated (but I am fully aware human suffering and misery is highly profitable and these Devils have place money making over human welfare). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the executives of the Fortune 500 Companies should be arrested—Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, AIG, Bank of America, Bear-Sterns, Wells Fargo, Lehmen Brothers, J.P. Morgan, etc. Who in the hell is going to man up to the DeBeers, Oppenheimers and the Rothschilds the foremost gangsters on the planet? They have systematically stole the world's wealth and then punished the American people by outsourcing our economy to China, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Mexico, etc., using slick global legislation like the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) to rendering the American people without ways, means and manners to competitively compete in the global market because they simultaneously devalued the United States labor and goods. President Bill Clinton presided over these moves (they were actually initiated by George H. W. Bush) and he put the last finishing touches on the death of any future possibilities of the U.S. ever again having a surplus economy and the liberal Clinton was partially responsible for putting America in this present economic crisis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If my fellow citizens do not know this I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, thus, your jobs, money and our ability to manufacture and export goods are gone forever (the American dream does not exist anymore). The Government and the Invisible Rulers have found global markets (we have become social baggage of liability—useless eaters) and you/we have become obsolete in this new scheme and paradigm. I learned a long time ago that the concept of reality in America means absolutely nothing and perception means everything (sell them the Empire State building and surely they will buy it). The American people are living lives of perception—they are giving the false indication that they are happy and prosperous, but many are buried in debt and their ignorance and their white skin is their biggest deceiver, which they deem as privilege and this alone has made them prime targets for all types monetary scams and deceptions coming from their pay masters. The American people thought that their false standard of living that was created for them would never come tumbling down on top of them. Money and the appearance of wealth appeared to be plentiful until 2008 when capitalism had reached it peak and no longer could expand and produce at past sustainable levels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, instead of the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke coming out and telling the American people that our monetary policy has to be totally revamped from the bottom up because the continuing printing of worthless money is destroying our quality of life and has already wreck perhaps three to four unborn generations lives—the United States Dollars is only backed by hot air (definitely does not have gold and silver behind it anymore) and it is this valueless currency that has led to our present economic downward spiral, which in reality as placed our nation in an economic depression; no different than where our government was in 1929 when the Great Depression occurred. Thus, state and local governments are defaulting—the municipal governments are being forced to sell off government buildings as the last redeemable assets because they have incurred more liabilities than collectable tax revenues prohibiting them from servicing the debt and balancing fiscal budgets in which the mounting debt is choking the life blood out of large and small cities across America (even local phenomenon incidents are induced). Those who put us in this predicament are shrewd and heartless and are bent on enslaving entire humanity. The people have an obligation to revolt and overthrow these bloodsuckers of the poor and take back our democracy and constitution from these vipers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been greed that is destroying our democracy. We are in trouble and the handwriting is on the wall; people have become disillusioned with our government and in all truth many feel betrayed and do not know where to turn. This present wave of republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman Jr. and last but not least Ron Paul are all handpicked by the Invisible Rulers. It really does not matter who sits in the big chair in the White House whether it is a republican or democrat candidate nothing will change relative to the condition of the masses of people; neither party works in the interest of the masses of the people, but are Fronts for those that possess the power to shape humanity. It is even sadder that the masses are volunteers in their enslavement. They are part of the problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1913 (the year the Federal Reserve was established), it's no longer a government or democracy as Abraham Lincoln once stated: “Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people.” President Barack Obama and the United States Congress work in the interest of an Invisible sector and we are viewed as mere cannon fodder. People get excited every four years thinking that with their exercising voting that somehow they have a voice and it is they who determines America’s political course and they do not know that their vote only gives the illusion of a participatory governmental process. These pawns (especially the Republican Party) want us to believe that it is big government that has placed the United States in this present predicament and they have agreed to public and private assault on the poor—to further the divide between the Haves and the Have nots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read recently where American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has forced Congressman Ron Paul to clarify some allege anti-Semitic remarks he has made over the last 20 years and demanded that he openly gives his unconditional support to the State of Israel and they have already established the litmus test; when the Zionist gets behind them ordinarily they even apologize for things they did not say and if they fail to acquiesce to the demands of the Israeli Lobby (American politicians know that they are unelectable because of the persuasive influence of the Jewish Lobby, if they do not do what they are told) they will call out prominent persons to repudiate and derail their political aspirations. Congressman Ron Paul has openly opposed the Federal Reserve and the present chairman Ben Shalom Bernanke; thus, I hope Paul did not think they were going to overlook his criticism and political views relative to the Federal Reserve—to attack this institution, is to attack the most vital organ and life blood of those who control global finance. The wealth of the world or lack of is orchestrated from the secret chambers of the Federal Reserve—this is where wars, famines, economic disruptions, calamities, revolutions, etc., is orchestrated from. Paul and no other political candidate want to appear adversarial to the Jewish Lobby because of the fear of Jewish power and influence to determine an election and determine their political future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is easy for these same pawns to be anti-Black, anti-Latino, anti-poor, etc., (powerless and defenseless sector) but they all bow down to Zionist influences and do as they are told. They are fearful of Jewish money and resources. I do not know if there is a cabal, but one thing is for sure all American politicians respect the powerful Jewish lobbies in the United States (whether this is a Zionist agenda guiding American politicians that will require each individual to draw their own conclusions). It has been the greed of an Invisible and allusive class of men that is systematically driving the economic crisis that is taking place in America and around the globe. How much money is enough money? I am not necessarily talking about the minuscule wealth of the millionaires and billionaires they are only fronts for Dynastic Families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These gangsters have no shame in their game, they are continuingly making zillions of dollars off the misery of humanity on the backend and then hold the ignorant masses on the front-end liable for the recent financial woes, which they themselves created—they are bent on getting all the money from their modern day slaves (yes debt is a form of slavery). Texe Marrs in his book titled, "Circle of Intrigued: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy stated, "Cloaked in mystery and shrouded in secrecy, the Inner Circle is comprised of ten powerful men. These men meet regularly--at least twice per year--secluded location. Their proceedings take place in a locked and sealed suite at a swank and exclusive resort hotel, or at a private estate owned by one their minions. Their decisions and agenda, kept top secret, result in the most dire and grievous consequences for ordinary citizens. Wars, revolutions, scientific discoveries, diseases, financial booms--and crashes!--these are some of the life-giving-destroying decisions made at their confidential sessions. The future of Planet Earth and almost six billion inhabitants is plotted out in the dark recesses of the mind and hearts of these ten cruel men. Most American know little or nothing of the existence of the Inner Circle and are totally oblivious to its grand design." (Reference: Texe Marrs; "Circle of Intrigued: The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy" pg. 15 &amp;16). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The policies of our nation is very much reactionary and yet these Invisible Elitist and Power Brokers gets a free pass to commit all manner of crimes and at the same time use their overt puppets and propaganda machines to perpetuate deception and lies in order to keep the masses of humanity dumbfound. The political direction of the United States isn't about how effective or not President Obama is because the American political course is being driven by greed and by an unelected few and it’s outside of the control of President Obama and Congress. Our vote only serve as a democratic formality in which the real decisions are made by the hidden Invisible Rulers—what are you running to the voting polls for it is clear that your vote do not mean a damn thing? I am advocate for freedom, justice and equality. What about you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had tremendous amounts of conversations within the last five years relative to Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&amp;AM) and Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry (PHA) squabbles about Masonic legitimacy—in particular how these two orders were formulated historically and the present day impact it still has on the relationship of the two distinct Masonic orders and membership. There are many who believe that AF&amp;AM and Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry (PHA) need to remain separate and apart, thus, and see no possibly of reconciliation. I think, if Black AF&amp;AM brothers throughout the United States continues to do good and exemplify Brotherly love, Friendship and Morality, it would be just a matter of time, that the two sects Grand lodges (AF&amp;AM and PHA) in the various cities and states will eventually see the LIGHT and work together to bring about full recognition. if we as Prince Hall Masons can grant full Masonic recognition to our white Masonic counterparts (although up until the last 10-20 years many of them did not reciprocate the gesture) and still practice intra-discrimination and black racism against their own black Masonic brothers of the Craft (AF&amp;AM and other black non-Prince Hall Masonic orders) this; thus, represents the utmost hypocrisy and contradiction and it serves as proof positive that in deed we have falling victims to the schemes of self-hatred that were perpetrated some 150 plus years ago against black people and sadly to say, we are still carrying out their plans without been told. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are others who are open to the possibility of creating positive dialog and reaching across the isle, in the spirit of acquiring a unilateral brotherhood that seeks Black Masonic unity. I do feel both sides of the arguments and as a Prince Hall Mason myself, I share in some of the grievances that have been waged and whether they are legitimate or not, it must be determined by each individual, which will require doing their own research in which to determine whose right and wrong in this Masonic divide. Some time I am led to believe that this divide is being festered by ego and superego driven Grand Masters and Masonic jurisdictions who are suspended in time and are fearful of moving forward from a debate that is over one hundred years old. But I think it’s often the negative sentiments echoed by PHA zealots that gets more attention than the sensible and fair minded Prince Hall Masons relative to the question of Masonic legitimacy and many non-Prince Hall Masons outside of our order formulate a negative opinion of the entire Prince Hall order because of this. I have always entered these type dialogs with an open mind. There are radical and high emotions (which lack rational thinking) on both sides of this issue and it actually skews the debate and it compromises the effort to understand one another as brothers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of Masonic "legitimacy" amongst African American Masonic orders are inextricably tied to the history and evolution of Prince Hall Freemasonry within the United States of America (being perhaps the first constituted black Masonic lodge in the United States—1784 viewed as the mother of black Freemasonry in the United States) and it has been a nemesis to other black Masonic orders that have evolved and were created after Prince Hall Masonry was established. Many (non-Prince Hall Masons) have become reactionary to this fact and even deep down inside in some of these groups minds they perceive themselves as being less than PHA because they have subtly bought into the propaganda that the only true "regular" body of recognized black Masons in the United States is the Prince Hall order and simultaneously this has fed into Prince Hall brothers superego in which has established this superficial disposition of believing the hype that all other Black Masonic orders other than PHA is "clandestine". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think black Masonic unity has to first have an open dialog and debate on the topic of black Masonic "regularity" in which no holes are barred. Although, even after such dialog, we still may have to agree to disagree on some issues, but at least we should recognize those long standing black non-Prince Hall Masonic orders that have demonstrated a positive track record and follows the Masonic landmarks. I think mutual recognition should be established in the name of black Masonic unity, it is imperative that we consider this in the name of Masonic progress, unless our great grandchildren will view us as voluntarily carrying out the Willie Lynch Plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me say right from the gate, I do think there should be some Masonic criteria and guidelines that are in place to govern the process that oversees Masonic Grand lodges and subordinate lodges who are seeking to become duly constituted and chartered/or dispensation Masonic lodges by ensuring that there is a legitimate affiliation and belonging to some recognized Grand Body of competent jurisdiction empowering it to work. If not for some established rules and guideline then any clandestine, bogus, and/or irregular Masonic entity can pop up with a fictious charter and/or Masonic renegade group can come in the name of Freemasonry—Ancient Free and Accepted Masonry or Prince Hall Masonry with ill fated intentions. But we must have a test instrument to determine the legitimacy of such claims in order to determine, if you are in deed a "regular" body of Masons or in deed a “clandestine” organization. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often one's charter would be the overriding indicator/evidence of whether or not a Grand Lodge and its subordinate lodges have the right and authority to function as a "regular" Freemasonic entity. The charter would give us proof positive of a Grand Lodge Masonic origin, date it was considered "regular", signatures of Masonic authorization, and permission to function and disperse legitimate degree work according to our modern and ancient landmarks. There must be some oversight because many bogus fly-by-night lodges pop up across the United States in huge numbers every year proclaiming to be "regular" bodies of Freemasons in which many of these groups are con groups who are looking to financially capitalize off the name of Freemasonry by duping those who potentially desire to become Masons. But somehow ran into, perhaps the wrong group and became victims of Masonic scams—hustlers and pimps who had no legitimate authorize charter to function as a Masonic entity, but wrongfully used this powerful knowledge to manipulate the innocence of gullible potential candidates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I am for Black Masonic unity and in all of my writings and articles, I have consistently advocated around this premise and I have equally espoused that we do not need white or European Masonic Jurisdictions to be the determining body to declare our Masonic "regularity" such as the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), perhaps the most recognized Masonic govern body the world-over. Moreover, historically, if a western lodge could not trace their roots and origin to the UGLE, it would be automatically declared to be "irregular". Many black non-Prince Hall Masons have tried to put forth an argument that Prince Hall African Grand Lodge # 459 (originally African Lodge # 1) of Massachusetts was not recognized as a "regular" body of Masons, although, Prince Hall was granted a charter in 1784 from its Mother Lodge UGLE in which Prince Hall and fifteen other black Masons were made Masons at the bequest of a traveling Irish Military lodge and were raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think in the early 1990s there were some additional addendums that solidified the legal aspect of Prince Hall Masonic Order receiving full recognition from the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE). I have never personally recognized the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) as having the authority over African rooted Freemasonry because the Kemetic (Egyptian) Mystery School system goes much further back than 1717. This has always been a point of contention between me and other Prince Hall Masons, I have taken this position because of acquiring the knowledge of self and I see the black man as the original man in which all knowledge sprung. The ancient Nubians had established a sophisticated and complicated system of neophyte initiations long before the Europeans came in contact with this mythical knowledge. There is no historical doubt in my mind that the origin of the ancient esoteric, occult and Gnostic wisdom and knowledge goes back to ancient Kemet (Egypt). It was Africans who gave the world civilization. Our Afrocentric scholars based on their tireless scholarship have dismantled the half-truths and outright lies giving to us by Eurocentric Masonic scholars in which most black Masons have embraced and follow (this behavior is probably a direct correlation to the affects Chattel slavery had on the psychological development of black people). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I do not think that white Grand Lodges are actually participating in some grand scheme to keep black Masons divided, but I am of the opinion that it is ego-driven black Masonic leadership and ignorance that have driven this divide. Why do not John G. Jones Freemasonic lineage—Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and Prince Hall Free and Accepted Masons make a conscious effort to move beyond the artificial barriers that keeps us divided and come to a binding Masonic resolution geared toward full and complete recognition based on black Masonic unity? We owe this to Prince Hall and John G. Jones two Masonic pioneers who preached brotherly love and enlightenment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are, perhaps still eleven historical southern Confederate States within the United States in 2011 that still have not recognized Prince Hall Grand Lodges as a ”regular” body of Masons and for over 200 years has viewed Prince Hall Masons as a body of clandestine Masons (their position represents the epitome of racism). For example, in North Carolina the Masonic jurisdiction in which I hail under, it was not until 2008, that the White Ancient Free and Accepted Masons extended full Masonic recognition to Prince Hall Masons. These Negroes were cheering and celebrating that their ex-slave master’s children having finally recognized them as full and complete Masons (these Negroes attended a Masonic luncheon in Raleigh, North Carolina hosted by the white AF&amp;AM order—they were laughing and scratching where they did not itch and somehow white Masons felt vindicated after practicing 200 years of discrimination and racism). The Negro Masons felt whole that the white Masons of North Carolina finally curtailed their racist behavior and extended an olive branch of full Masonic recognition to their black Masonic counterpart. I did not give a damn about the decision and did not attend the official recognition ceremony because it was sicken to think that we needed white Masonic approval to justify our present and historical existence as a body of African American Masons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think many astute readers that have interest in this topic, perhaps already know Prince Hall Masonic version of John G. Jones being a former suspended PHA Mason who left the organization not in good standings and it has been this historical controversial that has spewed debates on both sides of whether or not Brother Jones' present day Masonic lineage should be considered "regular' or 'irregular' relative to his Masonic claims of yesterday. I have had many discussions with AF&amp;AM brothers about this historical controversial and often from the Prince Hall perspective, it is maintained that Brother John G. Jones did not have an official charter decreed upon him by an official Masonic entity. Now, this is where it gets a little sticky, in particular for us African American Masons who ancestors arrived to the Americas as captives and prisoners of war. We look for Caucasian Masonry—the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) as the official legitimate Masonic body who so-called has the determining authority to declare what Masonic bodies would be consider "clandestine" and "regular". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is atypical behavior of the Mis-Education of the Negro, as Dr. Carter G. Woodson defined this type of thinking back in 1933. We do not consider ourselves to be 'official' or 'legitimate' unless we have the approval and sanction of white folk (a condition of mental slavery). So as a Prince Hall Mason, I would argue that Brother John G. Jones had every right to exercise a sovereign mind and establish his own AF&amp;AM organization outside of white approval and/or even PHA black approval. Some AF&amp;AM have sought to make the claim that John G. Jones received a charter form Romania, however I do not think there is any credible documentation that proves that Jones received a Masonic charter from Romania or any other European Nation. He was a high ranking Prince Hall Masonic official from the state of Illinois who had acquired all the knowledge from all the Masonic Houses both practical and philosophical and knew how to set-up and structure a Masonic organization and he did just that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But here is my argument, the Europeans stole and corrupted this ancient knowledge from Kemet (ancient Egypt) and I maintain that it's insane for us to be looking for some white (Romania) or British (UGLE) Masonic entities to validate our Masonic reality. This knowledge belongs to the Black man and whether you are AF&amp;AM or PHA, it is our duty to reclaim what's rightfully ours. My brothers, I have written so many articles designed to teach all my Masonic brothers to look beyond the lies and distortions of western Freemasonry. In the early 1900s Caucasian Masons took Prince Hall Masons and Shriners to court claiming that Prince Hall Masonry was 'clandestine' " ... the White Masonic Order lost their legal battle to the Black Masons and on June 23, 1929, the United States Supreme Court handed down the decision that guaranteed that Prince Hall Masons and Shriners had all the rights as a fraternity to appear in public and in private to practice the time honored traditions of Masonry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I have had some very spirited debates on aspects of Speculative Freemasonry with some Ancient Free and Accepted Freemasons (AF&amp;AM) and about the history and origin of African American (Black) Masonry in the United States. I do agree whole heartily with brother Ralph McNeal and Brother Ezekiel M. Bey, Grand Historian of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of New York and other prominent Prince Hall officials of the Phylaxis Society who exposes many of these Bogus Freemasonic organizations on their website. But I have come to respect some of the positions of black AF&amp;AM due mainly through my independent research and dialog with Worshipful Master brother Joseph Ferguson of King Solomon Lodge #514 (AF&amp; AM) in Dallas, Texas who has been more than willing to openly share the black AF&amp;AM perspective with me and I have learned a lot from our many dialogs about this non-Prince Hall Masonic order. Brother Ferguson has also been open to constructive criticism coming from me—but I never tried to belittle the Masonic organization that he chose. I see him nothing short of a Masonic brother that has been tried, never denied and ready to be tried again (I see and accept him as a brother Mason). Yet, I do not speak for all of Prince Hall Masons (I am representing my views as an individual) nor do I speak for the Phylaxis Society—there are many hardliners who will have nothing to do with a non-Prince Hall Mason or accept the legality of their Masonic claims to them they will always be a clandestine organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also had a number of conversations whereas a brother has joined an AF&amp;AM lodge and after joining has felt that he was duped. There are some instances in which a potential brother knocked (or asked one to be one) some Masonic orders do not give them the full and complete history of their Masonic order. I see John G. Jones as one of the pioneers of Ancient Free and Accepted Masonry (AF&amp;AM), but the fact of the matter is that he was an expelled Prince Hall Mason from Illinois jurisdiction; I do my best to stay away from which Masonic orders should be deemed "clandestine" and "irregular" because of the sensitivity of the subject and I do not think Prince Hall Free and Accepted Masons should place themselves as the official overseers of Black Freemasonry within the United States and have taking the role to determine who will be considered a "regular" body of Masons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brother John G. Jones played a huge role in establishing the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and as 32nd (Scottish Rite) degree and Knights Templar (York Rite) degree members petition the Shrine, Jones' history is taught within this degree. However, North Carolina Prince Hall Code book states that all Masonic houses above the Blue Lodge is considered appendix and auxiliary bodies (no higher than the Master Mason Degree, but lateral degrees), which further translate to mean that unless a Mason is in good standings (this includes but not limited to being suspended and/or Masonic excommunicated) in the Blue Lodge no other Masonic house can be officially validated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a Shriner has not met his financial requirements or obligation in the Blue House (by not being in good standings) then this automatically affects his standings in all the above appendix and auxiliary bodies. So one could reason why and how, this contradiction has taking place with Brother John G. Jones being denied acceptability in the Blue House and at the same time revered and respected in the Shrine (these two Masonic bodies are totally separate). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if the Prince Hall Shriners have reconciled the History of Brother John G. Jones in the Shrine (he established the black Shrine degree as it was organized under the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. However, most learned Prince Hall Masons attributes the Shrine theory to Ali Rofelt Pasha prior to its official establishment in 1893) and if this history is being taught in the Shrine Temples; it becomes a big historical contradiction that needs to be rectified and amended by Prince Hall Masonry on all levels relative to them passing a Masonic resolution and going back over 100 years later and exonerating and expunging Brother John G. Jones of all the charges levied against him and work to heal the divided Masonic family. This would be a great step in atonement and reconciliation of the Black Masonic Family. I think members of the black Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&amp;AM) need to propose to the Prince Hall Grand Lodges that Brother Jones be pardoned of any perceived wrongdoings and lets work to remove all the negative stigmas that are hindering Masonic unity. I also, would like to see AF&amp;AM giving an option to be invited back into the fold of Prince Hall Masonry and/or remain sovereign, independent and separate, but each order is given full and complete recognition one to the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, If I am in distress and I am forced to give the Grand Hail sign and to whisper the word in a low tone, it would not matter to me if an AF&amp;AM brother or PHA brother came to my rescue and nor will I be asking what Masonic affiliation do they belong (or question their race and nationality). I would be saying praise the lord that there were some help that came to the poor widow’s son. This internal disputes often becomes null-in-void when distress is knocking at our door. The more this system collapses upon itself, it is going to require us to look more to one another for assistance and we were taught that you should be able to recognize a brother in darkness as well as in LIGHT; this recognition gives us a true clue to what our Masonic disposition should be and how we have falling victims to the artificial barriers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, I do believe as I have stated above, that we all have a duty and responsibility to defend Freemasonry from fly by night clandestine groups who do not possess a charter or dispensation from some legitimate grand body empowering it to work. I advocate that brothers do their due diligence and homework prior to joining a Masonic order and become fully informed about their history and to make sure they possess a recognized legal charter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always advise newly raised brothers to view the Master Mason degree as a stepping stone to even higher knowledge and do not view the 3rd degree of having obtained all the knowledge that one need. Speculative Masonry is a huge field and often we do not continue to delve into all the esoteric, occult and Gnostic knowledge associated with working towards understanding Freemasonry from the various inter-connective links after we are raised from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the Square (what a mistake of great magnitude). I advise that each newly brother acquire a Masonic Library and find like minds in the lodge and start a study group who would be interested in being a part of a highly charged Cipher who seek to investigate the history, ritual, symbolism, relics, etc., of ancient and modern Freemasonry. Freemasonry is not a religious organization in which we should freely investigate how Islam and the Holy Qur'an is associated with Masonry, each degree that you attained was rooted in a Biblical scripture and the symbolic allegory is what gives meaning to the functionality of the Craft (For example signs, tokens and words). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, as newly raised Brother Masons, I advise that they remember the new name that they were giving during the Entered Apprentice Degree which was Caution—I advise that until one fully understands the role that the Compass and Square plays as Operative Tools and how we use them for the more noble and glorious purposes in Speculative Masonry that they should continue to wear the new name of Caution. Masonry is not a sprint, but is a travel (marathon) that will continue to evolve with age, experience and a willingness to seek external knowledge. Lastly, I believe that Freemasonry had it's origins in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and that it was the Nubians who introduced civilization to Europe and the entire world.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world within last ten years has become more complex because in many ways 9-11 changed the rules and established new global rules that were rooted in the New World Order agenda and it has forced humanity to make certain political, social and economic transitions. There are varied and different moves being made right beneath our eyes on the global chessboard, but the Invisible Rulers have mastered the art of deception and propaganda in order to keep us sheep in line and in control (even prior to 9/11 in which for centuries they have done a good job at this). Many of my thoughts comes from a life body of research and experience in which has led me to think outside the box and confront my own fears relative to the possibility of "What if" (many choose to dismiss the notion of "conspiracy") but my empirical findings have led me to accept that there are powerful hidden forces driving humanity which is unknown to humanity (the sheepel does not even know that they have been hoodwinked and cable-towed). The New World Order and global agenda is real and there are many major (really not many major players—12 Dynastic families that control the world) and minor players (low level operatives) who are responsible for carrying out their bidding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;England (United Kingdom) is the mother of the United States (Babylon or Baby London) and Amschel Rothschild and the boys initially set-up international banking houses in five European countries. This was the formal beginning of the web in which Dynastic Families intermarried based on wealth and blood lineage. They have always adopted the utmost secrecy and has often hid in orders such as the Jesuits, Illuminati, Freemasonry, etc., which only served as layers of protection, deception and distraction. Some believe that the Bank of England is the seat of world power and this is where the world of high finance starts and end. Some believe that the Royal Institute is more powerful and more controlling within this new global paradigm than the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one person or group of people have all the answers to the puzzle, but through visiting different Internet sites (global technology allows to access massive amounts of information in real time) and engaging certain research this allows us to at least consider knowledge and information that is geared towards assisting us in connecting the dots and decoding deceptive hidden agenda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truth has the ability to alter the balance of power by eliminating and/or isolating and uprooting past agreed truths that were formulated as false control stratagem to shield evidence that might-be pointing to the contrary. It has almost become sinister and borders on being treasonous to offer or suggest a point of view, opposite of the one being advocated by the status quo. The status quo has the masses of the global population conditioned that oftentimes they do not even have to defend their contentions. Moreover, those who are being deceived by the conspirators will often run to the defense of the conspirator and serve in opposition to anyone attempting to expose their chicanery.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I think until the American people wake up and demand better from our government, we will continue to see high levels of reactionary influences coming from government, because for a long time now our democracy has been compromised and co-opted by special interest groups and by an Invisible Elitist sector. I do not think electoral politics and voting will resolve our dilemma—the institution in of itself has no integrity to bring about or foster real change. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;So every 2-4 years Americans become frustrated and we vote in or out the sitting party/candidate (still looking and praying for real change), but what is our alternative—Democrat or Republican (we often get more of the same).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The dumbing down of Americans have rendered us as puppets and we are not even astute enough to venture into the third party concept and I must be honest here third parties haven’t been able to financially compete with the well financed Republican and Democratic Party—so the motivation behind and/or in front of our democracy is money. Moreover, in which both of major political parties agendas are the same; thus, defend and protect the interest of the Power Elite while the true principles of democracy becomes absolved by those who possess the wealth and resources to shape democracy in their own image and likeness. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am advocate of free speech and the U.S. Constitution grants each so-called American that right relative to the First Amendment. Thus, often the test to free speech centers on our willingness and ability to allow others this same right and opportunity even when we disagree with the speech. Now, this is where it gets a little gray, for a sovereign nation like the United States someone (U.S. commander-in-chief, Justice Department, Congress, U.S. Courts, etc.)based on interpreting the law relative to national security has to determine when certain actions/speech constitute a national security compromise, which under normal circumstances this same speech would be protected by U.S. law in spite of it possibly being distasteful or even controversial. It appears in this new era that standard of proof for U.S. citizens have been expanded, in particular under the watchful eyes of Homeland Security— social disharmony, security, safety and national security of the nation quite naturally would take precedence in some circumstances, in particular when certain activities boarders on treason and sedition; it then becomes a question of Free Speech versus a possible compromise of national security interest and national stability (at that point someone has to determine the right course). We have been taught to respect the laws of the United States of America; although, there is much that I disagree with when it comes to the question of fairness and equity, in particular when it relates to people of African descent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The First Amendment right as it is written in the United States Constitution protects and guarantees freedom of speech and expression to all Americans and the right to choose religion and/or no religion, as well as the right to exercise political affiliation of one's choice—The United States is not a monolithic society (although, it has become a very diverse nation, but it is still far from being a true melting pot or totally pluralistic) and the evidence is pointing to the fact that we are hastily moving more towards becoming a Fascist nation—this is another leg and step towards the New World Order agenda—we are supposed to be living in a democracy (at least in theory) that is rooted in separation of church and state—possessing a participatory government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We truly live in some dangerous times and even as we convey these type ideas which is within the realm of our so-called constitutional and legal rights; yet some will/could view these types of ideas as being treason and anti-government pursuant to the type of longitude and latitude that the United States Patriot Act possess relative to its legal language. But I have always known and understood that even prior to the era of Homeland Security former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover under the counter intelligence program Cointelpro accrued massive amounts of Dossiers on US citizens and foreign persons. These surveillance initiatives have been expanded since 9/11. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, the opinions, we share and write for our cyberspace audience are no longer fully protected by our constitution and therefore, we have to walk a very thin line and pray that something that I, you and/or someone else says on the Internet forums do not render us as being possibly classified as Enemy Combatants and subject to the long arm of U.S. law. But most of us have taking everything into account based on where we are in space and time. For example, our “freedom”, lives, imprisonment and the monetary legal cost it would entail to defend our innocence if accused of violating U.S. law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, if I publically conveyed what I may deemed to be practical solutions, which is within the realm of U.S. law and I am against any revolutionary or subversive activities that would undermine the U.S. Government; I still think most will view some of those thoughts as being to idealistic. However, I still make every attempt to agitate the system and use whatever little talents that the creator has blessed me with to teach and reach as many people as I can. I do not have a big bully pulpit nor do I desire a massive stage; I am not that ego driven. We who classify ourselves as free thinkers have a job, duty and responsibility to the moral uplifting of humanity and that alone should be our goal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give it to you straight, I do not have the answers to all the political, economic and social problems plaguing humanity. Yet, my life has been committed to levels of activism and working within the legal and jurisprudence dynamics of the nation of my citizenship to alter change on small levels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American capitalism is dead, it no longer has the ability to expand and produce as it did just 40 years (or better yet just 4 years ago) ago and reached its climax in 2008 (the evidence is the induce economic collapse and meltdown, which marked the death of a future prosperous capitalist system ). Our economy has been outsourced to India, China, Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand, etc., and capitalism relative to the American people has been bankrupted and the dreams of the middle class have been decimated. The Federal Reserve continues to print worthless paper that has no value and systematically fosters inflation in which the every day citizens have been placed in a chokehold, as well as the globe. We all know something has gone terribly wrong inside our government and it infringes upon the rights and liberties that the United States Constitution was founded upon. We owe this discussion on the Federal Reserve to our grandchildren and our great, great grandchildren. Perhaps the American people will come to realize that the Federal Reserve is the greatest criminal cartel in the world and may be if it isn't too late; we will take the correct action and abolish this money shakedown enterprise, which has destabilized the globe. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China has replaced the United States and the former USSR as the world's number one superpower. Thus, they have the largest standing military in the world (just based on sheer numbers they are a present and future force to reckon with). The United States capitalist helped to empower the so-called communist nation of China by systematically outsourcing its manufacturing and industry for cheaper labor and bigger financial and economic returns. China economy has soared and truly has cornered the western markets. Thus, on top of this, the United States is in debt to China for billions of dollars and really has no way to repay China. The U.S. Dollars although is considered to be the world's reserve monetary exchange, but to China and the world they see the United States dollar as being worthless and valueless (and refuse to allow it to be dumped into their economy). China has geared its education curriculums around math and science and this has made them one of the world's leaders in technology and technological advancement (our children are mastering Rap music while Asian nations are preparing their nation for global commerce). In addition, China has made huge financial and economic in roads into Africa relative to investments. They have been closely tied to Sudan and is one of the number importers of Sudanese Oil and is aiding the Afro-Arabic Sudan government in the Darfur conflict. China is on the move and there is no stopping Big Red now.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The U.S. as I have stated above has become a more repressive government since 9-11 and it’s very disturbing to the overall concept of democracy. People are fearful of speaking out and disagreeing with the government because of the potential of reprisals. This is their way of controlling dissention because no one desires to be labeled a "terrorist" and even some scholars and intellectuals are afraid to objectively assess and evaluate the political, economic and social trends because of the so-called sensitivity status associated with the 9-11 hoax, which has placed not only American citizens in a dangerous position, but the entire planet has been placed in a peculiar situation. Professors and scholars used to be able to legally protect themselves behind the status of academic freedom and had the intellectual flexibility to research and write about ideas in spite of their controversy and had little fear of censorship and consequences for expressing dissenting opinions. However, I can recall right after 9-11 many social scientists that had a difference of opinion relative to 9-11 were intimidated of being threaten with committing treason and they were forced to remain quite. I was taught early on that what make a healthy democracy are people having the right to dissent and disagree with the state. But for some 10 years after 9-11 people are even more fearful of rendering a critical analysis of the government because of the new repressive laws.   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The United States is dangerous because, it has systematically convince the masses that they share a patriotic agenda with the government and the masses fail to realize that they are mere pawns in the game (the sad thing is they have no understanding that they have been duped). They/we are victims of propaganda and disinformation and we have become active participants in doing the bidding of those who do not share our political, economic or social interest. Why do we continue to support a reactionary foreign policy interest and simanteously in our Christian worldview and supremacy paradigm, we can justify war and the killing of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan and now we are gearing up to attack Iran. But The American people are fools for the boogie man syndrome; the government keeps them thinking that they have shared interest to work collaboratively to save humanity and do not realize that they are mere tools of western imperialism.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Government openly lied to the American people and the global community about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and they used the media to convince us that Saddam Hussein was a threat to the national security interest of the United States and most of all stability of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. This lie and misleading agenda led to the United States unjustly attacking the innocent people of Iraq where over 4,400 U.S. servicemen have lost their lives fighting in the interest of the Invisible Elitist and over 30,000 were wounded in which they can not get adequate long term health care or the necessary services needed to improve their quality of life upon arriving back home to the United States; thus, many have come back from war suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the United States Government do not give a damn about these veteran soldiers when they no longer has the physical and psychological ability to enforce U.S. imperialism around the world and can no longer be used as tools of our government foreign policy. But the premises of this lie and the United States going to war in 2003 was merely based on U.S. oil interest and nothing else, which ultimately led to the U.S. and the Coalition Forces invading Iraq without due cause and with impunity. Thus, after being exposed and caught Bush and the boys would later admit that Iraq and Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. So, I do not put anything above or beneath the CIA and the U.S. Government. They are using similar propaganda against President Ahmadinejad of Iran in order to discredit him and besmirch his character because he and Iranian Government will not allow western interest to exploit Iranian oil. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Government and the CIA has had a propensity to lie and mislead the American people and the world and there is no better example, than what took place in Iraq. They are attempting to use similar disinformation tactics and strategy against Iran and President Ahamadinejad. What have we learnt from Iraq as far as U.S. Foreign Policy relative to oil in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf?  They lied and have killed millions of innocent Arab Iraqis in name of White Christian manifest destiny (Bush said the U.S. was a Christian nation in a war against the "infidels"). So I see this propaganda against Iran as a political pattern; no different than what I saw taking place in Iraq. They are working extremely hard to turn public opinion against Iran to justify a war and stealing more oil, just as they did in Iraq in 2003. Lies, lies, lies,!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The United States lost serious petroleum interest in Iran in 1979 after the people overthrew the Shah (via the Iranian Revolution), a U.S. puppet, who had betrayed the political, economic and social interest of the masses of Iranian people. The United States at the end of the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979 froze and confiscated over 25 billion dollars of the nation of Iran's money (hard core currency) and they froze other assets belonging to the people of Iran. The U.S, even to date has not relinquished this illegal confiscation. Iran has had to deal with U.S. imposed economic sanctions and embargoes, which has hindered some of their international trade efforts. Imam Khomeini nationalized the oil wealth and kicked the bloodsucking western nations out of Iran and turned the business of oil back over to the indigenous people of Persia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The present day United States media bombardment and characterization of the Iranian Government and its president, is atypical of U.S. propaganda. They convince the ignorant American masses that President Ahmadinejad, if allowed to pursue acquiring nuclear weapons that he would be irresponsible and therefore, the United States (or overburden taxpayers would be forced to pay for another foreign war) will be pushed into another war under the pretense of disarming a so-called Muslim and Islamic fanatic while once again the real objective of stealing oil would be giving little attention in the corporate media and this motive will go undetected—I guess in the European’s mindset they should determine if black, brown, red and yellow people have the right to self-determination—Iran acquiring nuclear weapons will balance the playing field in the Middle East. I think each nation has the right to self-determination and whether, I agree with the Islamic theocracy or not, it is not the issue, but Iran as a sovereign government has the right to govern their society as they please. I respect the Islamic culture and tradition and I do not try to compare it with western democracy—it is different and unique. But the west has always has this Euro-ethnic and Judeo-Christian worldview relative to how they view the rest of the world was suppose to act and behave.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;All right minded people know who is truly behind these latest reactionary propaganda ploys aimed at Iran—the United States Government is their lapdogs and do their bidding. The United States have over 4 million of its citizens incarcerated, the largest imprisonment population of a western government. This is not under Islamic Sharia law this is western democracy (we are not in a moral position to judge or direct global affairs). Thus, just take a moment and look around you. For example, the so-called Wall Street bailout robbed the America taxpayers of a standard of living—the masses of people are now destitute and have been pushed more to the 'have not' status (they are steadily losing their homes, jobs, and standard of living). We are engaged in at least two major wars (the greatest burden on the American taxpayers) and perhaps at least four (4) covert wars. These parasites now desire to further attack the poor and elderly the most vulnerable of our society by attempting to pass legislation to deny them social security benefits. I am against those capitalist who desire to continue exploit the masses (99%) while 95% of the wealth is owned and controlled by an Elitist 1% of the population.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer has been thinking heavily about the recent events surrounding the assassination and murder of President Muammar Qaddafi and the destabilization of Libya and the disregard for international law that was shown by France, Italy, United Kingdom and the United States relative to Libya and what is going to be the ultimate consequences on how these type so-called international discrepancies have on nation’s sovereignty in the future and ultimately on the welfare of all humanity in general. let me digress and reflect a bit, when I was a freshmen in college, I was intrigued by the culture and history of Libya, it led me to write a letter to the Libyan Embassy inquiring about the possibility of me becoming an international exchange student where I could study Islam (or religion) and learn the Arabic language. I waited and waited during that semester for a response and I never received a response from a Libyan governmental representative in which at that time, I was oblivious and somewhat naive to the politics undergirding the two nations. But I viewed this possibility as a fascinating opportunity which to learn and study abroad in a foreign nation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Qaddafi, I believed in 2003, felt that he had to make some political concessions because he was witnessing a changing world after the 9/11 hoax and he best understood that the world was being made and shaped completely different than what we all knew it to be prior to 9/11 and subsequently to 9/11 the west was given unrestricted power to act at one's own discretion with unconditional authority (interpreted to mean the United Nations post 9/11 became completely obsolete and the United States has become the rule and guide of how international law would be dispensed). This position alone has rendered no safe havens and/or sanctuaries for any leader or government who opposed the west (President George W. Bush once stated ‘either you are with us or against us’), in particular those who were deemed "Rogue Nations" and the Axis of Evil" nations (and just so happen that many of these so-called outlaw nations were oil wealth nations. I do not think this was mere coincidental) would have a difficult time escaping this new form of western imperialism—it has truly become imperialism without borders and restrictions. They have duped the American people and the globe into believing that their behavior (global political agenda and military aggression) since September 11, 2001 was justifiable because they were engaged in fighting international terrorism and this would be a war where the old rules would not be applicable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Qaddafi deep down inside knew as early as 2003 that he had to change political course and the only thing that could help to reshape his image was to appease the west by publically taking some responsibility for the Pan Am 103 Lockerbie, Scotland incident in which the Libyan Government was accused of masterminding this tragedy. President Qaddafi handed over perhaps two suspects who were tried in European Courts and he also agreed to pay the victims families millions of dollars in restitution. He also agreed to disband his nuclear weapons program (this decision would haunt him and led to his ultimate demise and rendered him defenseless when so-called NATO troops invaded Libya) and assured the west that Libya would no longer sponsor or support terrorism. Qaddafi trusted the devil (George Bush and Barack Obama) and they invited him back into the good grace of the United Nations and the United States ended the sanctions and embargoes against Libya that had been in place for over three decades and granted Libya full diplomatic status. The west relaxed him and he did not realize that they would never forgive him for his past behavior and although he had begin to open Libya up to the Seven Oil Sisters, but in their eyes this still was not good enough—Libyan crude for the first time in over thirty-five years was flowing freely to the western governments without any embargo restrictions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The west was never sold on President Qaddafi's new image and unknowing to him President Obama and CIA was planning and plotting for removing him from power and establishing a puppet government in Libya, which would allow them unmolested access to Libyan oil for European exploitation and global strategic position. Qaddafi did not want Libya to experience what Iraq went through and thought it would be wise to acquiesce to creating a new image and may be this would relinquish some of the tension and antagonism that existed between Libya and west. The United States used agent provocateurs to instigate internal tension in Libya and simultaneously used propaganda to demonized Qaddafi and ultimately accused him of killing his own people and this so-called justified NATO intervention—the mission had three objectives 1). To assassinate Qaddafi. 2). Take control over the Libyan oil fields. 3). Set-up a reactionary government that would serve the interest of the west for present and future interest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CIA attacked Libya by using NATO forces as a front in which President Barack Obama could hide his bloody and dirty hands (he is really not making these Foreign Policy decisions and actually Bill and Hillary Clinton is running the country) and make it appear that the United States had little to do with attacking and killing a Muslim Head of State. Perhaps, many of us still do not realize that 9/11 changed all the rules of the game—international law does not have the once legal jurisprudence to render impartially in which international grievance could be sorted out in an international court of justice. Thus, in the past, nations who violated aspects of the United Nations charter had legal options granted under the rules of international law. The United Nations Security Council is controlled by the United States and even the dissenting members have sat idly by and watch the United States and Europe unjustly attack smaller and weaker nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was unheard of just 25-30 years ago for the United States to openly engage in state supported assassinations against heads of states—now, I am not that foolishly to believe that the U.S. were not in engaged in all manners of international crimes during the Cold War period, but these type operations were considered highly confidential and sensitive in which the Central Intelligence Agency had unlimited powers and resources to create and fight covert wars in the name of the American people. They used massive intelligence and agent provocateurs along with dirty tricks to back ruthless dictators at the behest of western interest which led to financing reactionary governments and opposing progressive revolutionary governments. Yes, since the creation of the CIA in 1947 they have instigated international wars, murdered dissident leaders (at home and abroad) and have orchestrated setting up puppet governments throughout the world and has single handily shaped United States Foreign Policy more so than the U.S. Congress and Executive Branch of our government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, prior to 9/11 decoding American imperialism was left up to the astute and those who work to thinking outside of the box and conspiracy theorist; it was their works that informed us of some of the chessboard moves that were being made outside of the eyes and ears of the American people. The United States interest has been broad based and they have been involved on all seven continents. But prior to 9/11 the United States did not openly and publically talk about tactics and strategies which to kill heads of state, although the wise amongst us knew for decades that this was part of CIA modus operandi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I often refer to a book, I read over twenty-five years ago by Ralph W. McGehee titled, "Deadly Deceits: My Twenty Five Years in the CIA" and it was this book that opened my eyes to how the CIA used its influence, tricks, lies, military tactics, etc., in order to achieve the political end they so desired on the international scene. For example, I personally took noticed perhaps in the late 1980s when the United States attacked Panama and sent the U.S. Marshals and DEA (local law enforcement) to apprehend and arrest one of their dogs in General Manuel Noriega. Yes, the President of Panama was an international dope trafficker who worked for President George H.W. Bush— in which they ignored international law and tried and convicted General Manuel Noriega in a Miami United States Federal Court (there is no doubt General Manuel Noriega qualified for a Military Tribunal and had no business being tried in a United States Court). Noriega's conviction set a precedents of how future so-called dissident international leaders and heads of States would be dealt with—Mohammed Aidid, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Muammar Qaddafi, etc., (no international process would be granted relative to rendering international justice). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, white supremacy ideology treated the former Yugoslavia President Slobodan Milosevic with international dignity, although he carried out some of the most heinous war crimes of the 20th Century, but he was afforded a trial in the Hague, Netherland in accordance to the Geneva Convention, but none of these Arab and Muslim leaders were afforded the international courts—they were killed and assassinated—Saddam Hussein was sentenced death in a kangaroo court by U.S. henchmen posing as Iraqi judicial officials. It also did not matter that Noriega was the president over a sovereign government and should have at least been extradited to a neutral country and allowed his case to be heard in accordance to the legal standards set under international law. How could General Noriega receive an impartial hearing in the United States Courts when his accuser was President George H.W. Bush who was a co-conspirator in the Panama drug trade (as well as being involved in all of Central and South America drug cartels) and should have been put on trial himself for international drug trafficking and giving a life term prison sentence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This event was pre-9/11 and pre-U.S. Patriot Act, but the political and legal perimeters gave life to the anti-terrorism concept and agenda, which extended the long arm of U.S. law and introduced a set of rules that would be rooted in the New World Order and render all victims inescapable (these laws were design to cast a wide net). They induced 9/11 as a highly desensitizing ploy designed to immune the American people and the globe to embracing all manners of United States imperialism without question and public outcry (the masses now accept and believe that the Government has the right to commit all types of national and international crimes in the name of so-called fighting terrorism). They have created this free pass under the guise of fighting international terrorism and the dumbfound masses are applauding (while even their civil liberties have been compromised in this new era of so-called crime fighting) and is under the illusion that the United States has taking a moral position to make the world more safer for global peace (they fail to see that these are well orchestrated chessboard moves to ensure continued dominance and control over the world's resources). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This objective supersedes all other objectives and it is the engine that drives wars, manipulates the global economy, creates disparity and misery and empowers the Super Elite to the detriment of the poor and oppressed. The United States Government under President George H.W. Bush also in Desert Storm and Desert Shield turned on another one of its traitors and dogs in Saddam Hussein after using him for over eight years (1980-1988) as a puppet to fight Imam Ayatollah Khomeini and the Iranian people with the objective of overturning the 1979 Iranian Revolution and strategically attempted to regain control of the Iranian oil fields for the benefit of U.S. exploitation (this war objective was defeated and Iraq and Hussein was led to retreat). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Saddam Hussein was rewarded for his loyalty; he was given more sophisticated armament, military technology, and license to kill other Muslims (Shia Muslims) and the CIA knew along time ago that he was using chemical warfare against the Kurds, but it did not matter until the U.S. Government needed an excuse to demonize Hussein, thus there was no other propaganda more suitable than conveying to the world that he was unmercifully slaughtering and killing his own people. They use the mass mediums both electronic and print which to mold and shape public opinion in their interest and likeness. Hussein became an outcast and vilified when he started scheming on the oil revenues and when he invaded Kuwait (exercising his military might), he had forgotten that he worked at the pleasure of the CIA and the United States Government and he did not have the authority to disrupt any of the existing oil arrangements established by the west in the Middle East Region (these were house rules that governed all the oil commodity players and any violation would have severe consequences). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States and the west after using Saddam Hussein since the early 1980s and by 1990 the relationship had run its course with the culmination of Operation Desert Storm. The United States in 2003 attacked Iraq under the false pretense that Saddam Hussein possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (they already knew what was in his arsenal because they sold him billions of dollars of weapons made in the USA), but in reality the CIA, Pentagon, and the U.S. State Department had bankrolled and financed Hussein for decades because he served as a buffer between the theocratic and fundamentalist Iranian Government (whom the west had lost their influence due the toppling of another one of their dogs in Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi) and Khomeini nationalization of the oil wealth of Iran to the detriment of the interest of the Seven Oil Sisters and western governments in which it was this variable fueling this dispute. This war was not about land encroachment or Shia versus Sunni, it was about who would control the oil flow and wealth of the Persian Gulf (Iran), it became simple oil lesson 101, they desired control over the oil in Kuwait and control the Rumaila oil fields in Iraq. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These moves gave the United States and the west huge oil interest in the Persian Gulf because for decades now they already have had the reactionary Saud Family of Saudi Arabia (the world’s largest oil reserve and supplier) in their back pocket and these Wahhabi Sunni traitors who are the gatekeepers of the Kaaba (the holiest house in all of Islam) in Mecca are pawns of the worst kind and has betrayed all Muslims based on their whorish relationship with the United States and the west. Saudi oil should be renamed United States oil that is who controls and manipulate the supply and demand, quotas, and determines international market pricing. Saudi Arabia is the 52 nd state of the United States and is a protectorate similar to the old colonial style relations that existed between Great Britain and its colonies. I personally can not follow any Muslim or Islamic leadership coming out of the east (especially out of Mecca and Medina) and as a Free Thinker I detest these Arabs and their religious hypocrisy (they are not Muslims but are members of the Synagogue of Satan). So lets be clear I do not follow any of their Qur'anic guidance because the entire Islamic faith has been co-opted by western forces and to be truthful with my readers I left religion along time ago. So I am not bind or obligated to any faith tradition—I am student of truth who is in constant search for enlightenment—the Torah, Gospel (new biblical testament) and the Qur’an based on man’s interpretation has led to the spiritual demise of humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer has stated above that a precedent has already been set and the last man standing is President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran and his defiance is not settling well with the United States and Israel—like other above mentioned leaders he is being accused of being to ambitious relative to his nuclear weapons program. The United Kingdom in a recent action imposed economic sanctions against Iran and for no apparent reason the United Kingdom froze some of Iran's assets and Iranian students protested by storming the British Embassy in Tehran—the European Union and European Common Market will inevitable fall in which the Euro has been devalued by the Bank of England and the Central Banks of various European nations serve at the pleasure of the Rothschilds who are behind this latest crisis with Iran and the economic meltdown in Europe is all their concoction—front organizations such as the Royal Institute of International Affairs along with the Rothchilds are also directing public opinion relative to Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Middle East Media Research Institute: Stated, “On September 12, President Ahmadinejad ordered the U.S. dollar to be replaced with the euro in the country's foreign exchange accounts. Iran has also called on other OPEC members to avoid the falling dollar in favor of the more credible euro. Oil is Iran's major source of foreign currency, but oil is pegged to the U.S. dollar, as are the currencies of the major oil-producing countries in the Gulf. These countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, have persistently declined to unpeg their currencies from the dollar [Kuwait did partially unpeg] and, hence, oil will continue to be priced in dollars. Since the dollar and the euro are broadly available convertible currencies, there is nothing preventing Iran from converting its dollars into euros whenever it chooses to do so”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“One suspects, however, that Ahmadinejad's edict has to do more with fear than with economic wisdom. Iran is rightly afraid that new and more stringent sanctions due to its nuclear policies could lead to the freezing of its dollar assets in U.S. banks or even in major European banks who conduct major businesses in the U.S. This move, therefore, will help decouple Iran from the U.S. banking system. It will be recalled that in the mid-1990s Iraqi president Saddam Hussein decreed that Iraqi oil should be paid for in euros to "punish" the United States. Iran did not say whether the new policy was designed to do the same thing”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Kingdom just like the United States has to engage in wars in order sustain a dying economy and Iran and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the last man standing and he like Qaddafi and Hussein has stood up against European imperialism and has advocated Iranian self-determination—this alone has made him a dangerous man in the eyes of the west. Perhaps what has gotten Iran and Ahmadinejad in this latest trouble is his talk about shifting his monetary system toward the Petrodollar, which will empower his oil wealth nation outside of the total control of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England. This aspiration alone is a declaration of war and the Rothchilds will not sit idly by and allow this to occur. Here is my prediction they are going to attack Iran and Syria and many more U.S. soldiers will lose their lives in order to make the Invisible Rulers and the Dynastic Families more wealth—their dying will be in vain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The death of President Muammar Al-Qaddafi is a tremendous lost to the Nation of Islam, in particular and all Black people in general. We have truly lost one of the greatest friends that we have ever had on the African Continent. This really saddens my heart and it is a devastating blow to all the liberation struggles of oppressed people throughout the world that he gave support to for a 42 year period. Our President, Obama is a dangerous man and in some sense he has been more reactionary than George W. Bush. Brothers and sisters, we got stuck on skin color and he being the so-called first Black president has caused us to lose sight of the steps he has made to betray the legitimate political aspirations of progressive governments throughout the world. For example, look what he has done in less than three years: he has so-called killed Osama Bin Laden (we know relative to this incident it was shrouded in CIA lies and deceptions Bin-Laden has been dead at least over 5 years and was not killed by U.S. Naval Seals), the killing of Imam Anwar Awlaki (Yemen) and now our brother President Muammar Qaddafi. He is also behind the CIA inspired uprisings that took place in North Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, and in Syria and other Middle Eastern states). Bush may have created the Axis of Evil theory, but Obama has implemented a deadly plan to take the Bush Doctrine to the next level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Brother trust the devil (I am not referring to no devil in a red suit with a pitch fork) and it matter not what he does they have shown this ‘Negro’ president their raw nakedness and have voted down every piece of legislation that he has proposed in Congress—this is an example of the systemic effects of white supremacy and racism (how they have treated President Obama is beyond the concept of politics as usual). However, most of us do not understand that President Obama signed on and the moves that he has made are testimony of his commitment to their agenda. President Barack Obama is undeserving of our vote in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. Brother Muammar Qaddafi was one of the only true friends that Black people in America had on the African continent. Yes, I do not mind saying it most of the 53 Heads of States in Africa are reactionary pawns, puppets, and rule with a colonial mentality—many of them have betrayed their people and have contributed to the suffering of Africa, but I am smart enough to know they too are mere victims of European imperialism. (Reference: Fahim A. Knight-El article titled: Africa: Who is the Blame; And How Do we Overcome Systemic Practices of Racism"; &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2011/04/libya-and-qaddafi-war-to-steal-more-oil.html "&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2010/05/africa-who-is-blame-and-how-do-we.html &lt;/a&gt;).   &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Most of them have turned the resources of Africa over to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund and live lavish Petite Bourgeoisie life styles while the masses of their people are suffering—living in stark poverty. Qaddafi socialized and nationalized the Libyan people's economy, he did not allow the United States, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Russia, Spain, Canada, China, etc., (or the Seven Oil Sisters) to exploit the oil wealth of Libya and these latest events have turned back 42 years of economic, political and social progress that the Libyan people had made under the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. This was not a NATO operation, this was a CIA led coup and these CIA agent provocateurs in Libya will one day regret the actions they took to overthrow and kill Qaddafi—they will be stricken to poverty and disillusionment under the banner of so-called democracy when the Seven Oil Sisters get finish usurping their sovereignty and stealing the Libyan's people oil wealth and enslaving them on their own land. Let me make this point President Obama announced the ending of the U.S. Combat mission in Iraq—after eight years of causing massive human and physical carnage in which over five hundred thousand Iraqis lost their lives due to a foreign policy initiative of going to war to steal Iraq's oil and in the process destabilized the Iraqi Government and betrayed their agent Saddam Hussein. Obama is ending the United States occupation in Iraq so he can eventually use some of these same troops in Tripoli to serve as the military and security watchdogs over the Seven Oil Sisters mission. The so-called ending of the Iraq War should not be viewed as a humanitarian gesture, but only as another move on the global chessboard—their eyes are set completely on the Libyan Oil Fields.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I have always respected President Qaddafi back in the early 1970s (1972 or 1973) he extended Libyan financial assistance to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. Some of the Arab States have always questioned the Islamic religious legitimacy of the Nation of Islam's theology and withheld their support to the Lost-Found Nation of Islam here in the west. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad needed help and Qaddafi and Libyan Government extended a 3 million dollar loan to assist Mr. Muhammad. The Nation of Islam used this seed money to purchase the Greek Orthodox Church (now reconverted by Minister Louis Farrakhan and known as Mosque Maryam which is located 7351 South Stony Island Avenue in which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad converted to Muhammad's Temple #2, the Flagship mosque of the Nation of Islam and presently serves as the national headquarters). Thus, Qaddafi extended his generosity even further when it was time to repay the debt/loan he and Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, for gave the debt and the loan became a financial gift to the Black Muslims. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad had always held high praises for Brother Qaddafi and he was considered in deed a friend to the former slaves in North America. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This writer can remember back in the early 1980s Minister Louis Farrakhan was still in the early rebuilding stages of the Nation of Islam which was totally destroyed by Elijah Muhammad's late son Wallace D. Muhammad (Imam Warith Deen Mohammed) who so-called transitioned the Nation of Islam into mainstream Islam and towards Sunni Islam; I have always believed that he was a CIA and FBI agent who was systematically used to dismantle perhaps one of the most successful organization in the history of black America next to the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) that was Founded by Marcus Garvey in 1914. Farrakhan reached out to Muammar Qaddafi for financial help during his early mission. Minister Louis Farrakhan was a well international traveler as the National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam who had made trips to Africa, Middle East, Caribbean, etc. However, there was one trip that sticks out in my mind, perhaps it was in 1985 or 1986 in which Minister Farrakhan and his delegation was desiring to tour Libya and West Africa in which I think on the first leg of the tour he was supposed to have made a public speech in London to the Black Britons, but British authorities actually arrested/detained him at Heathrow Airport along with his sons and I believe along with a couple of his aids (this action led to the United Kingdom passing a resolution to denounce Minister Farrakhan as an anti-Semite and banned him from the United Kingdom for almost 20 years—I think within the last few years the U.K. lifted the travel ban on Farrakhan) British authorities did not allow him and his delegation to enter the United Kingdom. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Minister Louis Farrakhan was scheduled to speak in  Lagos, Nigeria, but the British and United States Intelligence (CIA) had contacted Nigerian governmental officials mandating them to cancel Minister Farrakhan's scheduled speech and venue; although, the Nation of Islam officials had secured a huge soccer field where thousands of Nigerians were lined up anticipating Farrakhan's speech on that hot summer day. Dr. Minister Khallid Abdul Muhammad (he made tremendous sacrifices for the Program) and others were on the ground level working out the logistics for Minister Farrakhan to speak in Lagos. However, the Nigerian Government had acquiesced to the dictates of their British colonial masters and Minister Farrakhan was prohibited from entering Nigeria and arm soldiers turned thousands of citizens away who were anticipating on hearing the black American leader. Minister Farrakhan was forced to fly to Accra, Ghana where even a bit of suspiciousness surrounded him and his delegation as they flew into Accra, but Flight Lieutenant President Jerry J. Rawlings allowed Farrakhan into Ghana (this relationship became second to Qaddafi and Libya as one of the most important international ties—Nation of Islam even held their first international Saviour's Day Convention in 1994 in Accra) and provided him with different speaking venues in Ghana in which the Nation of Islam spent 13 days in Ghana where he overwhelmingly won the confidence of President Rawlings and the Ghanaian people. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Minister Farrakhan traveled to Libya on this trip and Muammar Qaddafi has always extended love and solidarity to the Black Muslims of America (Qaddafi has always treated Minister Farrakhan as a head of state). Minister Farrakhan and his delegation also made Hajj to Mecca in fulfillment of the fifth Pillar of Islam (should not the Hajj fulfillment silence his critics relative to whether or not if he is a 'true' Muslim). Minister Farrakhan during the early 1980s embarked on tapping into the millions of dollars industry of black health care products and beauty products—cosmetic line which were being consumed by black consumers. He became the face and image of an idea that the entrepreneur Bill Wellington and Wellington group out of Philadelphia had established and introduced Louis Farrakhan to the idea. The concept initially was named People Organized and Working For Economic Rebirth (P.O.W.E.R) at Last and for ever. Minister Farrakhan being the gifted orator that he is traveled throughout America during the early 1980s promoting the P.O.W.E.R concept and trying to get African Americans to buy into the concept of purchasing black health care products from themselves or POWER. The relationship between the Wellington Group and the Nation of Islam eventually came to an end. But I think Minister Farrakhan still believed that the health care and beauty concept had economic validity. Minister Farrakhan culminated the POWER speeches on October 7, 1985 where over 35,000 black people packed Madison Square Garden and the Felt Forum to hear his POWER at last and forever speech. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Minister Abdul Akbar Muhammad (Larry 4X Prescott) who served as the international representative of the Nation of Islam had traveled throughout North Africa and all of Africa building diplomatic relationships for Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. But no relationship would prove more valuable than the one he forged with Tripoli and the Libyan Government. Minister Farrakhan in 1985 via satellite broadcast Muammar Qaddafi as one of the keynote speakers at the annual Saviour's Day Convention held in Chicago given in honor of the Nation of Islam's founder Master Wali Fard Muhammad. I was invited by Minister Ray Muhammad, the former minister of Muhammad's Mosque #34 in Durham, North Carolina and I flew to Chicago to hear Colonel Muammar Qaddafi address the Saviour's Day Convention in a broken English dialect and what I remembered about Qaddafi's speech on that day was that he cited there were over four hundred thousand black United States arm forces members in service and encouraged them to quit the arm forces (the white man's military) and get behind the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan in which he would train and arm them. But Minister Farrakhan immediately rejected Qaddafi's offer in which Chicago-Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune, in particular writer Clarence Page lambasted Qaddafi and demanded that Farrakhan repudiate such unpatriotic words made by Colonel Muammar Qaddafi. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Minister Farrakhan thanked Qaddafi, but was not interested in arming black America, but he needed Qaddaff's help in another way. Qaddafi and the Libyan Government became the principle financiers of what eventually became the Clean-N-Fresh products (a beauty and cosmetic line) and manufactured and distributed by the Nation of Islam. The legendary George Johnson (owner of Johnson's Products) initially agreed to manufacture Farrakhan's cosmetic line. Qaddafi and the Libyan Government gave the Nation of Islam a five million dollar interest free loan. Thus, part of the money helped finance the Salaam Restaurant billed as a fine dining eatery on the Southside of Chicago; the edifice was exquisitely designed in which one of Minister Farrakhan's daughters played a huge role. Let me be quite honest with my readers about my opinion—the Nation of Islam leadership made some very poor business decisions and squandered away many business opportunities to make the Nation of Islam (which is really 40-50 so-called American Negroes self-sufficient) and quasi independent. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Elijah Muhammad only had a third or fourth grade education, but no black leader other than Garvey who preached day and night the importance of doing for-self was more successful than the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Mr. Muhammad left the Nation of Islam with a proven template of economic success and as I traveled throughout black America, I do not see the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's program—I have come in contact with many groups and organizations (and ego-driven NOI sect leaders and ministers) claiming to be the heir apparent to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad theology and program.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Muammar Qaddafi transferred 5 million dollars over to the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan in which he had difficulty getting a black bank to receive this lofty deposit of 5 million from the Libyan Government; some of the United States black banks did not desire to be associated with Farrakhan (the alleged anti-Semite) and Qaddafi (allege strongman and dictator stigma) because of the false anti-Semitism charges that were waged by a sector of Zionist Jews against the Nation of Islam and Minister Louis Farrakhan, it frighten many of the so-called black intelligencer away from helping the Nation of Islam leader. It was a conglomerate of negative propaganda and disinformation that had influenced how they were going to treat the Nation of Islam leader and this money from Qaddafi being transferred to Nation of Islam.  Although, the United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control had approved of the international aid coming to the Nation of Islam from the Libyan Government (the U.S. Government initially wanted Minister Farrakhan to register as a foreign agent for Libya)—these 'Negroes' were running scared. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Minister Malcolm X, also were accused of being anti-Semitic and Minister Farrakhan during the early 1980s had this volatile and contentious relationship with American Jews (let me again make a distinguish Zionist Jews)—which manifested itself during Reverend Jesse Jackson's 1984 bid to become president of the United States of America (the Zionist had labeled the good Reverend as an anti-Semite because of his "Hymietown" slur). These Negroes were so afraid that even George Johnson and Johnson's Product Company who had agreed to manufacture Farrakhan's cosmetic and body line products backed out of the agreement and reneged when it was made public who Farrakhan's financier was in which many in the black community believed that it was Zionist influences and pressure who covertly put the squeezed on Mr. Johnson to rescind his agreement with the Nation of Islam, which to manufacture the POWER Products and even the black banks did not want the Libyan Government gift in their banks because of being fearful of Zionist reprisals (this was a despicable and sad moment in the history of Black/Jewish relationship). These ‘Negroes’ were continually running for cover and eventually the POWER movement and/or the Clean-N- Fresh products line was derailed and the full economic potential would never be known. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Zionist New York Congressman Peter King and other politicians waged political war against the Nation of Islam and actually imposed domestic sanctions against the Black Muslim movement. Moreover, Congressman King even used his political influence to rescind the United States Government backed security contracts that were awarded to various Nation of Islam security outlets throughout the country during the late 1980s and 1990s. Minister Farrakhan on October 16, 1995 called over one million black men (actually 2 million showed up) to Washington DC for the legendary Million Man March and the world watched a sea of black men gathered at our nation's capitol to rally around atonement, reconciliation and responsibility. I personally do not think any other black leader in America could have pulled this march off, but Louis Farrakhan (God gave Minister Farrakhan the vision, I do not mean that mystery God that does not exist—there is no God outside of the original man—you are God stop looking outside of yourself for divine vision). And let me be clear I have my own personal criticism of the Million Man March looking back on it sixteen (16) years later, but this article is not about my disagreements with the Nation of Islam (and I have some) or condemning Minister Louis Farrakhan. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Minister Farrakhan as the chief convener and keynote speaker at the Million Man March  had garnished the world's attention in which so many people were moved and touched by this act of solidarity that had taking place on the nation's capitol—this gathering was peaceful, loving, and without incident and I as a black man who attended the march felt nothing short of brotherly love, it truly was an amazing day; however, based on the Minister's own testimony he stated that after the march he became depressed and this led him to gather his staff and embarked on another World Friendship Tour which led him to Libya and other countries in Africa and the Middle East (the western media called his trip an itinerary of embracing “Rogue Nations” and dictators and this was used to take some of the momentum and steam away from the success of the Million Man March) . There have been various accounts that Colonel Muammar Qaddafi offered the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan over a billion dollars in order to assist him in his mission of resurrecting the black man and woman of America. Some others even claim that Qaddafi said that he was willing to put all the wealth of Libya behind the Nation of Islam and Farrakhan. We do know this much the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and his team of lawyers did file application with the United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control under the guise of seeking to secure humanitarian aid (financial assistance) from the Libyan Government. Farrakhan's request for international transfer of funds from a foreign government who at the time had no diplomatic relations with the United States and had imposed United Nations sanctions against them led to the Nation of Islam request being denied (of course we know that it was much more to this decision than what was revealed publically). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is how United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control defined its mission: "The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments." This was a paralyzing decision for the Nation of Islam and we can only imagine what might have been and where black people may be economically in 2011, if Qaddafi was allowed to financially assist the Nation of Islam. He was in deed a friend of black America.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Farrakhan, perhaps has been one of the only uncompromising black leader that we have had in the last thirty-five years—yes most of our so-called black leaders are controlled pawns, agent provocateurs, sell outs and have always worked in the interest of the white establishment. I am on record to let my readers know that none of these so-called ‘Negro’ leaders speak for me—what damn sense does it make in 2011, we are still marching on Washington for jobs and justice (begging the system to take care of us). Why do not these $3,000 dollar suit wearing, $1,000 dollar reptile shoes wearing, $250.00 neck tie and $80,000 Cadillac Escalade driving pimps and hustlers create jobs for black people as opposed to begging our former slave masters for a job—crying and whining that President Barack Obama Jobs Bill failed in the Senate—get-up slave and do something for yourselves and stop looking toward the Federal Government to save our Black asses. The United States Government is rapidly and steadily falling and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us that one day as opposed to welfare—he was going to say to us Farewell that time has arrived in America.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Lastly, in 2003 President Muammar Qaddafi allowed himself to be duped by the United States and United Nations in which he took partial responsibility for the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the Lockerbie, Scotland airline incident that occurred on December 21,1988  killing 270 people, which was characterized by the West as a "terrorist" attack. Qaddafi and the West began to normalize diplomatic relations and Libya was once again given full diplomatic status by President George W. Bush and the United States Government. Qaddafi of all people trusted his enemies and these recent events are the results of that trust which can be characterized as betrayal (Reference: Fahim A. Knight-El article titled: "Libya and Qaddafi : The War to Steal More Oil"  &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2011/04/libya-and-qaddafi-war-to-steal-more-oil.html "&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2011/04/libya-and-qaddafi-war-to-steal-more-oil.html &lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I know that Muammar Qaddafi will be missed by his friend and comrade Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam and by all of Africa and I send my condolences to his family and the Black Muslim leader who stood with Muammar Qaddafi until the end, a true testimony of love and friendship. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I think of the Wall Street protesters (or Wall Street Occupy Movement)? I have been flooded with emails from people seeking my perspective on the Occupy Wall Street movement because people really desire to know, if this protest movement, is the real deal and/or will their activism affect tangible social and economic change when it comes to the international banking cartel and furthermore, will this movement shape future United States Monetary policy (I am not optimistic). I could have just referred all these individuals to an article I wrote on January 8, 2010 titled, "The Federal Reserve: A Criminal Cartel in Which The World is Silent" (Reference link: &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20..."&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20...&lt;/a&gt;). We first must understand that Wall Street is the symptom and not the real cause or problem of the financial crisis that is confronting America and the globe. The real culprits are much bigger and more allusive and deceptive than the Money Changers on Wall Street (the Wall Street gang are nothing but low level operatives). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer as stated above has written numerous blogs/articles relative to the Federal Reserve (this is the number one problem in the equation and cannot be overlooked) and United States Monetary system and has consistently pointed out its flaws and of course many other scholars and activist have also done the same in which to restate those points mentioned in my various previous articles would be a bit redundant. Yet, most of the ignorant did not know that the wealth of this nation and the wealth of globe are being horded by a powerful Invisible minority in which the United States Government has all types of legislation and laws (Federal Reserve Act) in place to insure that their wealth monopoly is forever protected and their identities remain anonymous. Yes, our government has signed on with the Invisible Elitist to continuously impoverishing the masses and advance the final solution, which in reality they have already created two classes of people the 'Haves" and 'Have nots'. This phenomenon has increasingly become the 'New Normal'. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American politicians and the global politicians are nothing but low level whores and prostitutes who have sold their souls to devil (I am talking about that Devil who was made by Yakub 6,000 years ago and we sent Moses to the Hills and Cave sides Europe to teach him civilization). The half-original Prophet Moses taught them civilization and this enlightened race who actually originated between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea are the same ones that we allowed to study for 35-50 years before they were permitted to come amongst us and trade, thus we allowed him to wear the holiest and greatest flag of Islam/Uni -I- Verse) the Sun, Moon and Star)—these Moslem Sons (Shriners) and their descendents are the hidden ones who are ruling over humanity. They also serve as the masters of tricknology and are in deed the 10% as Father Allah has taught us in the 120 degree lessons and Messenger Elijah Muhammad called them the Bloodsuckers of the poor; Indeed another subject for another time. I was also taught under the late Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) of the All African People's Revolutionary Party about the importance of acquiring and implementing a proper political education; thus every movement, if it is going to be successful must have clear cut goals and objectives, in particular about where it has come from and where it's headed (Ture would often echo in his Trinidadian accent—organization!!! a truly revolutionary that is dearly missed). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But sometime it can be human instinct that causes a combustible explosion and progressive social change and/or progress has occurred throughout history simultaneously (yet I am fully aware that there are some powerful Invisible Forces who possess the ability to manipulate the political, social and economic reality of the globe) because of mere instinctive motivations, which may or may not have been rooted in the principles that led to the success of the American Revolution, French Revolution, Communist Revolution, etc., or those advocates who put forth Marxist-Leninism as vehicles to alter social change. But only effective organizing will render the short and long term results of any progressive movement. I am not optimistic that the Wall Street occupiers or any other detractors have enough human capital or financial capital to even get the attention of the class of men who some have described as the "Committee of 300" this is where the real decision makers (the Hidden Hand) are; however, to ignore the Invisible Rulers would be a mistake of huge magnitude due to the interconnection and layers that the powerbrokers share with high finance, as well as the intricate roles the Dynastic Families have played in shaping the global affairs of humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These men and some women are so powerful that they answer to no one and literally function as sovereign governments with inter and outer insulated circles (deemed untouchable and impenetrable), which ensure that their identities and power (remain a secret) they wield is oblivious to the masses (many of the Wall Street occupiers do not know that such a class of Power Brokers exist) and I believe those same forces who controls the media—electronic and print have systematically led us to focus on the decoys such as Wall Street while the real enemies of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness continues to work their diabolic plans and agenda behind the curtain. These vipers have created a system of debt and use worthless paper (U.S. currency) as the monetary medium of exchange to tie humanity to the greatest con of all times—volunteer slavery. People throughout the world are using the Occupy Wall Street Movement which to demonstrate their dissatisfaction and they are even organizing masses protest movements on other continents, but will it be enough to force the international bankers to reassess their modus operandi, which is greed and making money by any means necessary, if nothing else at least people are talking about the problem and to come up with real solutions would be a declaration of war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one point, I would have argued that our labor is the only variable (or negotiating tool) that could possibly level the playing field but these were my thoughts prior to the 2008 induce economic meltdown and systematic dismantling of labor unions which were strategic organizing vehicles of labor—the Italian and Jewish Mafia negotiated the value of workers labor at high premiums. I still think, if labor was properly organized this might give humanity a glimmer of hope. It is going take mass work stoppages and a total disruption to how goods and services flow—blood will be up to the horse's bridle and we are going to eventually see the repressive response from the government against its own citizens. For example, Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes interviewed New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly who perhaps oversees the world's most sophisticated terror defense forces - the New York City Police Department's counter terrorism unit. Moreover, after viewing this telecast, it was clear that this elite unit had powers that was once reserved for the CIA and yet function as a military cadre. We do not know how many other cities across America that have similar localize Elite police units who are giving the impression that their main focus is combating terrorism, but they have a twofold agenda in which the one that does not get attention is their training and preparation to crush domestic social rebellions and upheavals anticipated to take place within the United States (They have a serious military plan for us). The Wall Street Occupy movement must first investigate, who stole all the gold and silver? Wall Street is not our problem—these front financiers, traders, brokers, advisors, marketers, etc., and front financial banks that gives us our daily markets indexes and ratings is done strictly in the name of public consumption in which there is no real tangible value other than presenting an illusion that the have nots have the privilege to participate in a participatory so-called Free Enterprise Capitalist Market system, which they have convinced us is the foundation of obtaining the American dream (Minister Malcolm X would perhaps called it an American nightmare). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the 12 banks that serve as the rulers and manipulators over humanity: This is a list of Banking Institutions (Central Banks) that rule 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. They controls every financial market and dictates how the flow of money will be disperse in China, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, France, India, Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Israel, etc., and all other nations of the earth are under their dictates. These international banks and bankers have the ability to create the illusion that there exist public opposition to their rule and domination over the sheep (Reference: The Soul group O Jays "For the Love of Money" &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOM0olrdb6M"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOM0olrdb6M&lt;/a&gt;).  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Wall Street Occupy Movement could be an international bank front movement employed with agent provocateurs designed to further lure the masses to sleep and at the same time giving us the impression that there is grassroots resistance to their power and control (creating pressure from the bottom and pressure from the top). They have had almost four years to evaluate and assess the collateral damage of 2008 so-called economic meltdown, which has caused an economic global depression—they used the low-level banks and financial institutions to create panic and fear amongst the have nots and although, many Americans disapproved of the bailout packages given to some of wealthiest banking institutions in the world and yet President Obama and United States Congress approved an over 750 billion dollar rescue package for these den of thieves. The American taxpayers got nothing for this stick up, but more misery such as staggering unemployment rates, rising national deficit and an attack against the American Social Security system (which really is an assault on the poor). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am just going to give it to my readers as straight as possible; here is the naked truth there is not enough military might, political influence or un-co-opted movements that possess the power and influence to change the present power paradigm that has been established by Invisible Hand (International Bankers); thus, this is a well oiled machine and a system built on controlling the life blood of nations, which is manipulating finance and glabal monetary policy. They have actually been behind the unfolding of all world events for the last 1,000 years and it is this fact alone that places the Wall Street Occupiers and other resistance movement as being behind the eight ball. I have even become more suspect due to how chummy the reactionary Billionaire Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg has become toward the protestors in which the poor and oppressed 85% have nothing in common with a member of who himself is considered one of the bloodsuckers of the poor. Bloomberg and his hidden cohorts’ masters are part of why the Wall Street occupiers are protesting the pervasiveness of greed that undergirds the American banking establishments—New York is the capitol of hell—this is international banking heaven. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The masses are starting to feel the financial oppression directed at them by the banks relative to seeing higher interest rates, outrageous service charges on debit accounts and the stringent requirements when it comes to acquiring home loans, automobile loans and other lines of credit; although, many of these banks that are playing hardball with its lenders actually received taxpayers money to rescue them from so-called economic collapse. However, in an article of this magnitude, I feel shameful to mention such petty grievances because they do not factor into relieving the greed tension and loosening the noose from around our necks. These issues are so low on the totem pole and are really non-factors and minuscule when it comes to the question of global greed; the Invisible Rulers laugh at the ignorance of those who are seeking to contest their power on such a low level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we have been systematically lied to and those of us who are conscious of this reality have a job, duty and responsibility to pull the cover off the deceiver and continue to shake and wake up as many people as we can. Also, those of us who think a like need to truly find a way to galvanize our efforts and take this to the next level. The time is running out. Former President George W. Bush and the handpicked pawn President Barack Obama sealed the deal for the international bankers—the Invisible Rulers actually called the debt in and this is what precipitated the downward spiral of the global economy in 2008, it was an induce action. Bush left the United States Treasury with little to nothing and turned the last bit of American wealth over to the Hidden Hand and in reality the Fall of America is inevitable because there is absolutely nothing holding our economy up other than hot air. President Bush sent our nation into panic mode telling them that if the American taxpayers did not bail Goldman Sachs and the other international banking crooks out of debt that this would have been a major social and economic catastrophe comparable to the Great Depression of 1929. I am of the opinion that we should have let them default (of course the bailout agenda was a sophisticated scam as opposed to giving them permission to steal 5-10 unborn generations projected wealth) and took our chances with dealing with the outcome of a possible collapse (who knows we might have been better off); in particular when you evaluate the masses of people's condition prior and post 2008. Perhaps many of you still do not get what I am saying the winners were the international banks and the losers were the American taxpayers—the bankers said, God Bless America where can you steal like this and go undetected and unpunished. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people are more destitute and bankrupt in 2011 than they have ever been and many still believe in the system and have been brainwashed to think that our poor brother, President Barack Obama has the solutions to stimulating our economy. Sorry President Obama does not hold the keys to America's success nor does any other low level operative in which this includes Tea Party candidates, as well as traditional Democrats and Republicans. They all take their orders from the same hidden masters. The American economy as we once knew it, is gone forever—over because international bankers have gotten a much better deal oversees—Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Vietnamese, etc., slaves who are dirt poor and will work longer hours for less than 25% of what you would pay an American worker—few regulations and the laborers are plentiful. They do not have to offer a 401-K plan, medical and dental plan, production financial incentives, nor negotiate with union bosses, pay payroll taxes, unemployment premiums, liability insurance, etc. It's cheaper and cost efficient to outsource what use to be American jobs to poor Developing Nations because they are ripe for exploitation. The American people has become expendable in name of greed and as the OJays stated for the love of money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has led to the major means of production and distribution being historically and presently controlled by the Rothschilds there can be no real solution to the economic crisis facing humanity unless there is a redistribution of the world's wealth and resources in which capital and physical resources are equally divided amongst the masses of the people of the earth. I have stated this over and over again that an imbalance disparity exist whereas 99% percent of the world's wealth is owned and controlled by a measly 1% percent of the population this is beyond greed (how much money is considered to be enough money?), it is high treason and criminal and it is this paradigm that has brought our nation and the globe to an economic collapse. I truly do not think the Wall Street protesters understand exactly what this mean relative to this imbalance, which is the root cause of all the problems facing humanity. They think the front banks are the problems, but the true culprits are the international bankers—their wealth renders them sovereign entities and above all nations laws, enactments, rules, policies, procedures, etc., &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, for starters who are looking to get a quick crash course in trying to understand this Wall Street issue, it is imperative to do your own independent research and read some of the unconventional sources to help you to see the real picture and not be duped by disinformation, misinformation and propaganda. I think this group is really on to something because I am of the opinion that anytime that you can agitate the system that is a good thing (I want to go on record to say I support their efforts). Dr. Ron Paul (he is running for president and he definitely has my vote in 2012) is by far one of the most out spoken critics of the Federal Reserve System. He has let his thoughts be known in Congressional Hearings and is one of the few elected politicians who have openly challenged Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Thus, every movement, if it is going to be effective, then those seeking to bring about change must be armed with the proper political education; the chief organizers of the Occupy Wall Street Movement should have been in continuous counseling and consultation with Dr. Ron Paul (he is the premier authority as for as an American politician and elected official relative to the Federal Reserve). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would also recommend that my readers view the documentary titled, "American Fascism" by the late Aaron Russo and take a moment to absorb the facts of this documentary. This will give you a very good and quick crash course of what you are dealing with. Now, many like myself believe that the Federal Reserve Act, is unconstitutional and needs to be repealed. We must push our government (our so-called elected officials) to back and implement a monetary system that is backed and rooted in the Gold Standard (where United States Currency was once back by gold and silver) in which in 1913 the money changers seize the opportunity to move us toward a Fiat system where money is being literally created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, which has no value and is backed by nothing other than the rhetoric of United States Treasury Department and Federal Reserve. This has led to the devaluing of the United States Dollar and has put us in this mess. I must also let you know that the Federal Reserve and the Central Banks is a very powerful monster, but what you are up against are intertwined with powerful banking families in which the financial activity on Wall Street is a front and the real shakers and Movers are hidden under many layers of deception. The Federal Reserve (I would hope that many of you know, that the Federal Reserve is a private corporation and not a U.S. governmental entity) doesn't submit to any audit or oversight from the United States Congress (the people).

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are just about to embark upon the 2012 United States Presidential election; what happened to the 2008 slogan that then candidate Barack Obama so eloquently sold the American people on, "change that you can believe in"? Many Americans thought that President Barack Obama would usher in sweeping political and social reforms and change the political landscape of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (for those who do not know that is the address of the White House) into an oasis that would be rooted in justice and the citadel of a new government, with new vision and fresh approaches to solving the national and international problems facing the globe. However, he has walked the American people step by step toward completing the New World Order Agenda according to the plan of those who assigned him. President Obama has been one of their (Invisible Rulers) most recent loyal servants and he has worked their plan to almost perfection (moving the ignorant sheep closer to slavery). Most so-called African Americans have allowed this pawn to charm them into giving him a blank political check (we love the Devil because he gives us nothing) to operate without any respect and loyalty to them and it is evident that the whites who helped put him in office also feel betrayed by his ineffectiveness to move the nation forward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, some of the political stonewalling and filibustering is more steeped in the history of American racism and this seems to be the undercurrent that is driving Whites dissatisfaction (even they do not know that they are doing the bidding of small hidden powerful Cabal who are the decision makers of the world) with President Obama rather clear cut and distinct political disagreements. He has been one of the most disrespected presidents in the history of American politics and most of the attacks from the his political peers (left and right) and the media have been racially motivated and I am not going to overlook this variable (America is a racist nation by systematically design). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers have already committed to giving him another four years in office (these decisions are made outside of the ignorant electorate) as president of these United States of America (he has been a very loyal servant and they have the power to reward and punish their servants). Some have never heard of Dr. Carroll Quigley, the former professor of Georgetown University and former mentor of President Bill Clinton who authored one of the greatest books of the century titled, "Tragedy and Hope" in which Dr. Carroll Quigley lays out the sinister plans, motives, and objectives of the Invisible Rulers. So do your own research and scholarly due diligence to verify or discredited what I have written and perhaps you can prove to me that there is no Hidden Hand and from that point I will not ever write anymore articles pertaining to this issue—the Hidden Hand. But wait one minute Gary Allen and Larry Abraham in their book titled, "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" drew the same conclusion of Dr. Carroll Quigley and yet John Coleman in his book titled, "Conspirators' Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300", also drew the exact same conclusion as the above said authors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers spent over 500 million dollars on Obama's campaign in 2008 (no U.S. presidential candidate has ever raised that type of money for a campaign) and it is anticipated that President Obama is looking to spend over one billion dollars on his reelection bid; both figures will continue to set records for money being spent on a U.S. presidential campaign (the Rothschilds and Rockefellers have unlimited financial resources and RED SHIELD is directing the political and economic course of the planet). The Rothschilds have invested a lot of resources into President Obama and the boys/girls who are their low-level operatives in every sector in government and they are not through receiving their financial returns from this investment. They win regardless who sits in the Big Chair in the White House whether it is a Republican or Democratic president, it does not matter because it was their money and influence that placed them there (they care not what type of government is in operation as long as they control the system of money and finance). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me digress a bit, I have had people to continuously ask me do I think President Obama represents the anti-Christ (they keep us distracted with Nostradamus type predictions), the anti-Christ were those Money Changers that Jesus turned over tables and opposed them in the Temple and even to this day they have wrapped their manipulative and oppressive tentacles around humanity (this powerful minority has the entire globe in a chokehold). I personally do not put any credence into trying to religiously decode, a so-called holy book (Bible) that was written (authorized) by King James in 1611 A.D. where he and his court distorted and lied, as well as rearranged the book to fit the interest of the British aristocratic and elite and ultimately the Roman Catholic Church. I am definitely not looking for man named Jesus who has been dead for over 2,000 years to return to earth with a crown on his head claiming to be the prophetic king who will deliver us to some promise land (these all fairy tales based on myths and lies). Yeshua Ben Josef (Jesus the son of Joseph) was a righteous prophet and most of what they attribute to Yeshua Ben Josef (Jesus the son of Joseph) ministry is outright lies and distortions, but the teachings of Constantine (he setup the modern day precepts of Christianity at the Council of Nicea in 325. A.D.) has been infused in order to keep people under control and it has been successful from the annals of time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Yeshua Ben Josef (Jesus, the son of Joseph) has not returned after all these centuries he is not going to return and if he did return the Western world would be shocked to know that he was of Nubian (Black) lineage and an African Hebrew Israelite (their wise social scientist and religious scientist already know this fact), but they have hidden and shield this knowledge for over 6,000 years. This fact alone relative to the ethnicity and nationality of Jesus (some always argue what difference does it make and if it makes no difference why not tell the people the truth) would dismantle some of the prophetic and historical lies that have been told and written by western theologians and reinforced by governmental institutions in order to keep the masses confused and asleep (they taught me in Sunday school as a child to know the truth and the truth shall make you free). Why would they hide the truth? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give it to you plain, Jesus (Yeshua Ben Josef) was a Black man and he looked nothing like the artistic rendition giving to us by Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (better known as Michael Anglo). The original Palestinians were not Semites and the entire so called Middle East what the Greeks called Mesopotamia were lands belonging to black people and we who study truth understand that geographically only the man made Suez Canal separates the so-called Middle East from North-East Africa (in essence the Middle East and Africa are one land mass and one people in which I am speaking long before these bastardized people called Arabs or half-originals came into existence). It was through centuries of miscegenation that they became the light-skinned ruling class (lets not get it twisted they are not the original inhabitants of the so-called Middle East or North Africa). They are imposters according to Dr. Chancellor Williams in his monumental book titled, "Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C to 2000 A.D." and Dr. Wesley Muhammad in his book titled, "Black Arabia and the African Origins of Islam". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just look at what this pawn has done he and the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency and various U.S. military entities have duped the American people into believing that U.S. Naval Seals invaded the sovereign territory of Pakistan and assassinated the so-called Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin-Laden. But the Bin-Laden script and images were created in Hollywood or the Pentagon in order to improve President Obama’s public approval ratings amongst a disillusioned and dissatisfied American populace and to a lesser extent it worked to perfection; this alleged assassination of Bin-Laden gave the good ole boys something to cheer about and after the incident American patriotism was running rampant. Thus, every now and then the American good ole boys need something to rally around and there was no other RED MEAT with this type of appetizing fervor than Osama Bin-Laden—feed them a heavy dose of media propaganda and perhaps for a brief moment they may even forget about their own personal economic, political and social misery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers led us to wrap ourselves up into the American flag and singing songs of God Bless America, while they are deceptively sticking the dagger deeper into hearts of innocent and vulnerable American people. President Obama and the CIA played the best card they thought they had in the deck; after all Bin-Laden had been a so-called fugitive for over 10 years and former President George W. Bush spent almost eight years making Bin-Laden the poster boy for terrorism (placing millions of dollars of bounty money over his head) in between hosting formal dinners with Bin-Laden's Saud Royal family members (the reactionary Islamic Wahhabi monarchial ruling class of Saudi Arabia) and the gatekeepers of protecting United States imperialism in the so-called Middle East and serve as lapdogs for U.S. interest in the region. The timing of so-called killing Bin-Laden before the 9-11 tenth year anniversary was a duping designed to bring closure to a decade of turmoil that was embodied in the created image of the Bin-Laden/Al-Qadea boogieman syndrome and their so-called efforts to destabilize the United States Government; this was to ensure the American people that there was a new Big Sherriff (nostalgic of John Wayne movies) in charge and no one can escape the long arm of American so-called justice and this included Bin-Laden. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We who study numerology know that the number 9 represents completion and when you leave the 9 you are entering into a new beginning. Some people even ten years later still believe that external terrorist (Arab Muslims) attacked the World Trade Center, the capitol of the international business district of the world on 9-11 and it still has not dawn on them that the real terrorist who attacked the American people on 9-11 was our own government. However, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Robert Gates, Condoleezza Rice, Richard A. Clarke, George Tenet, Rudy Giuliani, Bernard Kerik and host of others (low level players) are criminals of the worst kind—they are directly responsible for the 9-11 hoax that killed over 3,000 Americans. Yet, they drove off into the sunset while the Money Changers and Profiteers amassed trillions of dollars at the expense of human lives and personal property. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do know that they create global misery in order to make money and these lowdown bastards are so dirty that the so-called first responders in the 9-11 crisis in New York—police, EMS workers, Fire workers, Emergency Management personnel, etc., who risked their lives at Ground Zero in order to save other lives (while Larry Silverstein and the boys were calculating how much insurance money they were anticipated on collecting after the 9-11 hoax) are suffering from lung ailments, cancer, Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and various other illnesses and can not even get the needed medical care from the United States Government or the state of New York (if this isn't criminal what else is). The Invisible Rulers viewed them as being expendable and mere causalities of war and have turned their backs on these once deemed Americans heroes. Perhaps you all should have listened to Michael Jackson's track titled, "They Don't Care About Us". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But many White Americans thinks that their skin color makes them immune to the dirty tricks of the government and they believe that their citizenship makes them real "Americans" and further believe that the government serves their best interest (how foolish can they be). The Bloodsuckers of the poor keeps them thinking that they are a privileged people and he uses this strategy to divide and conquer and they know that the ignorant will never rise in opposition to his ruler-ship (these people are cunning and wicked). So President Barack Obama excited the American people with these CIA images and backroom video games depicting how they killed Osama Bin-Laden (propaganda and massive lies and CIA has known for over five years that Bin-Laden was dead and most of the Muslim world knows that Bin-Laden has been dead for quite awhile). What the United States Government fail to understand, is that they are not fighting terrorist organizations or terrorist individuals, but they do not realize that they are fighting an idea and this is the massive battle that they can not win. He died in Afghanistan and/or Pakistan from poor health and was not killed by American Navy Seals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The images they gave the American people was right out of the CIA text book and then wanted us to believe that they were following Islamic law by allegedly wrapping Bin-Laden's body and burying it at sea before the sunrise of the next day in respect of Islam. These hypocrites have no respect for Islamic law; the Bin-Laden allege assassination ploy was only a deception to make it appear that President Obama did something big and he wanted to appear tough on terrorism; the propaganda machines wanted us to believe that he ordered the hit on public enemy number—Bin-Laden. This alleged incident would afford him with tough guy credibility and give the appearance of having a willingness to haunt down America's enemies. This propaganda was a slick and well crafted public relations (they consider this tax money well spent) ploy which was designed to set the political stage for his re-election campaign. President Obama can now announce that it was his administration that killed the number one terrorist in the world; something the wild, wild west cowboy George W. Bush could not do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OPEC is nothing but a front for the powerful Seven Oil Sisters (the oil masters) who decides how crude will impact the supply and demand—they keep us peasants (make them pay high commodities premiums for their misery) thinking that foreign oil demands are the root causes of the oil dilemma confronting the Far East and the Western World. Although, the United States overly consume relative to the world commodities resources, the global balance of power is being fueled by greed and it was clear evidence by 2008, they have literally created two class of people, the haves and the have nots—there is no middle class and the politicians of the United States now got their eyes set on attacking the most vulnerable—the poor and defenseless. President Obama inherited a bad economy from George W. Bush and he like Bush surrounded himself with Goldman Sachs agents (members of the House of Zion and House of Rothschild big money changers). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This question about a debt ceiling and trying to bring the 14 trillion dollars national deficit under control is nonsense and ludicrous. Who is behind this over 14 trillion dollar deficit that America finds herself confronting in which Congressman John Boehner and the Tea Party politicians in congress wants you to believe that the Democrats created the financial woes of our nation due to out of control spending. They find no problems in attacking the middle class and poor elderly workers (the most vulnerable of our society) who paid into social security and are now subject to losing their financial subsidy and Medicaid benefits. President Obama and the Republican led House of Representatives know that the problem isn't governmental waste on the poor and so-called poverty based programs (this is minuscule in the amount of waste relative to how much money, the money changers have stolen from the American taxpayers). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Federal Reserve and the twelve Central Banks that comprise the Federal Reserve has deceptively stolen the wealth of our nation and flooded the financial markets of the world with worthless currency (paper money that has no value)—the continuous printing of money (Fiat system) that in reality has no monetary value has contributed to the economic misery of the United States and the world. It isn't the poor that is ripping America a part, it is the greed of the Rothschilds and various powerful Money Changers that have systematically brought our nation to an economic decline. But rest to sure, President Obama and Congressman John Boehner will not utter one word in condemnation of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the power this one man possess over humanity should be considered a crime. Congress can not legally audit the Federal Reserve according to the language written in the Federal Reserve Act which violates the United States Constitution and not even the president has the authority to intervene in the financial affairs of the Federal Reserve and nor does congress or the United States Supreme Court has subpoena power over this powerful entity which to bring them into a court of law. Here lies the problem and all of our low-level operatives politicians are in bed with the Dynastic Families and know to attack the Federal Reserve would mark doomsday for their political careers. So the poor becomes convenient and vulnerable while the Invisible Elite seeks to financially capitalize from the projected misery that is coming down the pipe, which has been induced by themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some have asked me questions about my views of the illuminati and secret societies and not realize that the Federal Reserve is a secret society and fits the description of an Illuminati organization. Their board members are often elected in secrecy and they do not provide the United States President or congress (the people) with board minutes from their meetings and answers to no one but themselves (there is no government oversight or checks and balances). No outsiders are allowed to sit in these highly private and confidential meetings, it was just recently that Bernanke allowed cameras into a few of the non-session meeting rooms of this private corporation. So you do not have to look very far there is a secret society displaying the name "Federal" right in our backyard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People throughout world initially viewed President Obama in the realm of possibility and optimism and he had overwhelming international approval unlike any American commander-in-chief in the history of our republic. President Obama like any well crafted product was good looking, engaging, articulate, personable, intelligent, etc., (he was Harvard University trained) and most people bought into his image and people wanted to believe that in many ways that he was different than past presidential candidates (man were they fooled). They even believed that Obama was elected president because they had cast voting ballots and many even to this day still have no idea that their vote did not mean a damn thing—their candidate was handpicked and selected long before the ignorant masses went into the booth to pull the lever. Thus, a very small and powerful Elitist Cabal invited him into the outskirts of their influence and power—these Hidden Individuals do not believe in the concept of democracy or even honor the United States Constitution (this is the part of the Tea Party argument that is skewed and many of them have not realized that our government has been hijacked and our politicians have betrayed our constitution). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I voted for President Obama (but I totally understood that the exercise was just an illusion and my vote did not factor into getting him elected) that this because I am an anti-war advocate and he promised the American people that he would amicably end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and stop the killing of innocent people in these two Islamic societies. Almost four years later we still remain as an occupying force in Iraq and the stench of American imperialism is pervasive. His agenda to continue to steal the Iraqi's people oil was a mandate given to him by the Invisible Masters and was outside of his control, but at least the Bush and Cheney families shared in the wealth of the oil theft in Iraq because they had generational ties to energy and petroleum cartels. I would ask my readers to just reason with me for just a moment—we were told that Iraq's former President Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to the interest of the United States and Israel and we invaded Iraq on the false pretense that Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. Who should be held accountable for these lies which have led to the destruction of this ancient society? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama lied to the American people and his agenda has only been an extension of the Bush Doctrine in which to continue robbing the American taxpayers in my opinion is an impeachable offense. Will the American electorate hold this pawn accountable. He received over 95% of the so-called African American vote (unrewarded loyalty); we ordinarily vote a long color line as long as the candidate is a Democrat and it is this phenomenon that makes the African American a very vulnerable electorate bloc and historically has been taking for granted by the Democratic Party Hustlers and Pimps. I have heard Reverend Al Sharpton, a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and black opportunist place President Obama above political critique and above reproach. This Negro is nothing but a gatekeeper and I applaud Dr. Cornel West and Tavis Smiley for challenging this agent provocateur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, we live in highly technological and global economy and I heard President Obama sounding like former President Franklin D. Roosevelt from the era of the New Deal movement in the 1930s in reference to addressing the jobs and economic crisis confronting America (these ideas are obsolete). He is talking about building roads and bridges and infrastructure as the solution to America’s economic woes as though this is the solution to resolving America’s economic dilemma. He is not talking about building industries and establishing manufacturing which to utilize the vast resources of America to put the American people back to work. We as a nation import much more than we export and it’s this trade deficit that has helped to weaken our nation. The Invisible Rulers have put America in this economic predicament and there is nothing that President Obama can do to alter their decision, but get on his knees and beg the Rothschilds to reconsider their decision to wreck the global economy and it is only they who posses the power and influence to alter this present course of history. Our economy has been systematically outsourced to India, Thailand, Mexico, Korea, China, Vietnam, etc (this strategy was formulized out of greed). Sorry Mr. President building roads and bridges isn’t what’s needed to stimulate our economy and keep us at a Superpower status and not have the vision to make us once again a self-sufficient nation. We need more economic innovation than that. WE THE PEOPLE: GIVE US BACK LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Blog or article like some others that I have written will appear in a question and answer format in which I have taken some of the Building Sessions that I have had with Pan-Africanist, Black Nationalist, Muslims, Christians, Freemasons, Nation of Gods and Earths members and host of other brothers and sisters who are deemed conscious. I ordinarily receive an abundance of messages and email correspondences from Freemasons and non-Masons from within the United States and around the world. I have come to the understanding that knowledge affects people in different ways and often when a brother or sister writes me back, whether it is pro or con; it is that perhaps what I may have written had some type of impact on their thinking and they felt motivated to communicate this to me. This places me, as well as others in a unique situation, but it also requires me/us to be mindful that we are responsible for, perhaps molding and shaping the intellectual thinking of others and this is not a light weight position. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nation of Gods and Earths (the Five Percenters) has always embraced certain aspects of my writings and I often receive a lot of correspondence from them via Internet and I see myself as part of the Cipher (welcome to the cyberspace Parliament—peace God)—I am a student of 360 degrees of knowledge, it leads us to the understanding that knowledge is infinite and it does not terminate itself at 32 or 33 degrees and this is the mistake that many of my Masonic brothers have made and although the hoodwink and cabletow were removed as symbolic gestures and reminders during their initiation; however,, many still wander in darkness because of refusing to totally uplifting the veil (moving from ignorance which is darkness and into light which is intellect—transcendence from the physical to the spiritual) and are blind to the knowledge of self. My job is to intellectually entice them to reach higher and to truly elevate their thinking from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the square—where the square formulates the circle tying all knowledge and truth together in one unbreakable link, which is only symbolic of the infinite wisdom of the creator (meaning there is no God outside of You). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last few years  have afforded me some very good BUILDS with Brother Hakem Allah (Wise) and Brother Divine Universal Allah in Durham, North Carolina where we often delved into the 120 Degree lessons (Reference: &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2010/09/clarence-13x-taught-five-percent-nation.html"&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2010/09/clarence-13x-taught-five-percent-nation.html&lt;/a&gt;) —the Supreme Wisdom is right and exact and this much I can not deny and I therefore, I have to tilt my hat to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, all he did were to produce more Gods—Father Allah, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Minister Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, etc., therefore, I can never deny Mr. Elijah Muhammad’s teachings because early on it was the life giving teachings that set me into motion and led me toward becoming a Free Thinker. (Reference: &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2008/06/nation-of-islam-concise-history-true.html"&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2008/06/nation-of-islam-concise-history-true.html&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, I am so indebt to the writings and lectures of Cheikh Anta Diop, Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannon, Ivan Van Sertima, Molefi Kete Asante, Asa Hilliard, Chancellor Williams, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Amos Wilson, Richard King, Dr. Jacob H. Carruthers, etc., the Afrocentric writers and scholars gave us knowledge which redefined our worldview and dismantled many of the lies and half-truths giving to us by a system which was motivated more by racism than telling the truth. But of recent I have received a lot of questions about my opinions of Dr. Ray Hagins and Dr. Phil Valentine in which these two individuals seem to have captivated the intellectual imagination of young so-called African-Americans who are striving for a conscious reality. This writer can not render an opinion on Dr. Hagins or Dr. Valentine (I have not done the knowledge), but the little that I do know about them, both seem committed to teaching the knowledge of self and are committed to elevating the historical and spiritual awareness of the African race (this much is good enough for me). We must support those who work diligently and are committed to delivering our people the truth and I believe both Hagins and Valentine teaches that which will help to liberate us from mental slavery—but Bob Nesta Marley said it best, “none can free our minds but ourselves”. Perhaps my reading audience would like to share their views on Hagins and Valentine and from those potential discussions may be we can determine the scholarly credibility of these two individuals. So I will be seeking their published works and video lectures for assessment and evaluation. Brother Hassan Tremble on June 24, 2011 emailed and informed me that there was a documentary titled, “Hidden Colors” directed by a brother named Tariq Nasheed and Dr. Phil Valentine was one of the personalities featured in the documentary. I must admit I did peep at an Internet testimony written by Dr. Hagins who explained his transition from an ordained Pentecostal Christian minister from Patterson, New Jersey to becoming a conscious African centered minister who discovered that he had been lied to and mislead in seminary school. Hagins learned that the story of Yeshua Ben Yosef (Jesus the son of Joseph)—birth, death, resurrection and ascension was first told in Kemet in which Ausar Auset and Heru  predated the virgin birth and resurrection story of the man the western world called Jesus.  Reference: Fahim A. Knight’s article titled: “CHRISTMAS: JESUS—THE SUN--GOD, LIES, DECEPTIONS AND THE TRUTH     &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-jesusthe-sun-lies-deceptions.html"&gt;&lt;a href="http://"&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-jesusthe-sun-lies-deceptions.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. I also peeped at a very spirited on line debate between Brother True Islam (aka Dr. Wesley Muhammad) and Dr. Valentine—I guess it was based on Islam’s origin and whether or not it was just a Johnny-come-lately religion. I must say Valentine was making some very convincing arguments. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The acquisition of knowledge should move us from the level of intellectual stagnation unless we become armchair revolutionaries and talk a good game, but do absolutely nothing to move Black people to the next political, economic and social level. Thus, most of our so-called Black leaders are nothing but social pimps (they have made black people slaves to the Democratic Party, we are addicted to a party that only produce false promises)—they are committed to money and materialism (this is their God) and enhancing their bottom line while the ignorant masses continues to suffer and languish in poverty (many of these Negroes leaders live in huge mansions, wear tailor made suits, sport fine jewelry, drive upscale automobiles and continue to make false promises to their ignorant flock)—having them looking up in the sky for that Mystery God that does not exist and for 450 years our lack of collective unity and progress is tied our loyalty to reactionary leaders like Reverend Al Sharpton, Reverend Jesse Jackson, Cory Booker and yes President Barack Obama (Big House Negroes). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Negro (President Obama) spent 19 years under Reverend Jeremiah Wright (as a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago) and once the enemy (the bloodsuckers of the poor) got behind him he flip flopped and repudiated Reverend Wright who raised him from the dead by introducing him to a Black Liberation Theology and taught him the truth of the Bible (sitting under Reverend Wright’s teachings would be somewhat equalvent to sitting at Mosque Maryam listening to Minister Louis Farrakhan for twenty years and you will want me to believe that the life giving teachings had no effect on you; of course Wright is not a Farrakhan, but his message was provocative and insightful and far beyond that pie in the sky rhetoric—gave us a meaningful interpretation of what a social gospel should be about). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, what Wright and Black people failed to understand was that this low level operative (President Obama) was only loyal to the House of Rothschild, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations—the real powerbrokers who are responsible for 95% of the global crisis confronting humanity. President Obama was giving a playbook and up until this point he has executed their agenda with the utmost precision and he has been more dangerous than President George W. Bush. I have always agreed with Reverend Wright’s theology and I was in agreement of his condemnation of United States Foreign Policy and his interpretation of the 9/11 hoax. If a Negro preacher truly believes in the teachings of Jesus the Christ than he/she could not in good faith morally and ethically support United States Foreign policy. What prohibits some Christians from seeing the contradictions in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?—these wars are morally inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus (I know they are fearful of challenging the enemy). I am outraged that Black leaders are silent on issues that matters and very few have voiced any opposition to the Roman Government—pardon me for the Freudian slip, I meant the United States Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kimeka Campbell:&lt;/strong&gt; “Good Day! I read this article, posted on www.dailygrail.com in 2008, and I had a question: You do an excellent job of showing the apparent 'lineage' of the Divine 9. But no credence is given to why these organizations are not actually considered Masonic Organizations which truthfully they are not. I was wondering along side of the fact checking you have done here, if you could provide more information on why these organizations are indeed NOT Masonic, and why Masonic organizations do not exist on college campuses”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Ms. Kimeka Campbell, I think Greek Lettered Fraternities and Sororities without a doubt had serious Masonic influences and roots because many of the original founders were Masons and Eastern Stars. Yet, in the early 1900s Greek/Latin (from language, history and culture) was considered to be high academic standards relative to curriculum and learning, in particular in the West”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Thus, one of the first white fraternities was Skull and Bones founded on the campus of Yale University, perhaps in the 1800s and some Masonic historians have traced this Order back to the Medieval Knights Templar, which was rooted in the Crusades and the fight between Islam and Christianity over Jerusalem and the Holy Land”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I am of the opinion, relative to the Skull and Bones, it was established as a feeder organization for the sons of wealthy and Elitist Dynastic families with the objective of teaching their young Heirs what it meant to be apart of the 'superior' race and privileged class. Thus, more so than that, it gave these aristocratic sons a working knowledge of how wealth and power compliments each other and taught them invaluable lessons in networking”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“These Fraternities boys would eventually become international bankers, high level politicians, presidents of nations, lawyers, businessman, international diplomats, etc. They would be prepared to venture into assisting their parents (wealth building) and eventually succeeding them as the new Heir Apparent power brokers. They transitioned into Freemasons organizations and organizations such as the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg and the Council on Foreign Relations”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Blacks/African-Americans copied and emulated these white fraternities, but lacked generational wealth to make a serious impact on the overall political, economic and social reality of black people (However, the Divine Nine historically used its miniature networking systems to create black 'Elitist' personalities and movements) what Professor E. Franklin Frazier called a black bourgeoisie class (this class became the Talented Tenth that W.E.B. Dubois made reference). So this translated into blacks attaining upward mobility and having an influence on black life, which on a small level was no different than their white fraternal counterpart”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Many of our early civil rights leaders and social activist belonged to one of the Divine Nine organizations. The Masons work a lot more discrete and it is not permissible for Masons to recruit and establish interest meetings (you have to ask one, to be one and recruiting is not allowed). Yet, most of your top level black leaders are Freemasons and Greek and many that serve in various capacities on the academic and university levels are Masons”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“The Masons understand that often those who pledge Greek Lettered Fraternities will eventually make their way to the Masonic Order (its really a natural progression) and the Freemasons benefit from these college based organizations (so there is a passive relationship) and yet Freemasons can hold true to their edict of not publicly recruiting its membership and at the same time reaping the benefits relative to Greek members being covertly directed into their various Masonic Orders”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“The college fraternities and sororities members have gone through a similar process of what the Masons and Eastern Stars go through (For example, they understand the meaning of secrecy--handshake, word, sign and most of all how important it is to protect the ancient process from the uninitiated). The pledging process is similar in some ways. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Now, Masons have no interest to functioning as Greek Lettered Fraternities and Sororities would on a college campus; they view themselves to be a lot more sophisticated than the average college fraternity and sorority. They also know and understand that many of your chancellors and college presidents are Freemasons and a host of others who are considered the movers and shakers in academia are Masons”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Let me give you a perfect example, the founder of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) was named Dr. James E. Shepard; he was the president of NCCU and was also two time Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Master for the state of North Carolina (top level Mason)”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I hope this response at least provide some answers and clarity to the questions that you raised. I do thank you for reading my article and giving me this feed back”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kimeka Campbell:&lt;/strong&gt; “Thanks for this timely response!!!  So it seems to me that from your explanation the success of the BGLOS on the level of the masonic order actually stems from a lack of substantial capital, correct? I am definitely aware of the links between all, but I am missing some crucial info like, what were some of the major reasons, because the academic/intellectual movements indicated for these divisions?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I also find it interesting that you see BGLOS as feeder orgs for masons/OES. I have lived in a few places in the US and there seem to be mixed messages on this matter. Some regions have no issues with your fraternal heritage when going between Bglos and masonry/OES. Other regions it is understood, rather subtly, that joining one and then the other is strictly forbidden. You must show your allegiance to one. Some of my own family members support not accepting young men especially who are of a BGLO”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Also, what of women in this equation? Especially black women? The women of BGLOS seem to be the furthest from the origination of orgs like these. What do you think accounts for the large separation?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Also, what would you say is the fundamental difference between the university/academic fraternity system for blacks and black masons?” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Any other literature that you think may be helpful that discusses the reasons for the break offs would be greatly appreciated”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C.B.&lt;/strong&gt; “Shalom Mr. Knight, I pray this little note finds you in the best of spirits and health. My name is C. B. and I have been reading your blog site for several days intrigued with the wealth of information you have on Free Masonry, Islam, Kemetic teachings, etc. I was especially interested in Free Masonry and the Kemetic studies. I am not a mason, although I am definitely interested in becoming one, and don't know where to start. I live in Georgia currently and am seeking guidance as to how to become one. I'm also asking if you could point me in the right direction as to where to start on my journey to attain 360 degrees. Sir, I thank you for your time, consideration, and thoughts. May Yahweh bless you and sustain you”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Bro. C.B: Let me first thank you for taking the time to read my Blog work. Yes, I have dedicated a lot of research to the topic of Freemasonry because I as a so-called African American just was not satisfied with the Eurocentric version of Freemasonry and I knew that this ancient knowledge had a much older root than what they were revealing. I also knew that Kush (Ethiopia) and Kemet (Egypt) had predated European civilization and it was these set of truths that forced me to think outside the box. Thus, I had acquired the knowledge of self many years ago and after becoming a Prince Hall Freemason, I immediately saw and recognized that many of my Masonic brethren were miseducated and had bought into the European Masonic worldview”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson:&lt;/strong&gt; “Bro. Knight, I just read the last message I sent you and I must apologize I sent that one in a rush.  What i was trying to say was that the Minister was correct in his assertion that there is a teaching in Masonry that hides the truth and we do fall for it.  I pointed out the book the Hiram Key as an example because this is one of probably many books that has come out with the truth and then for some mysterious reason the (white) author turns around to discredit his assertion saying that upon further research we have found something else to suggest its beginnings were not in Africa.  This point is proven, in my opinion, when the writers wrote The Book of Hiram this book generally says their first book did not research enough and Masonry has no beginnings.  What sense does that make?  Anyway, just wanted to clear that up”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Bro. Ferguson: I understood what you meant in the initial message. I too at times rush sending messages and my thoughts may be here and typing might be somewhere else. However, thank you for the clarity. I agree about Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight's  book, "The Hiram Key" they really explores a lot in that book and gives up a lot of truths. I did find their analysis on the historical origin of Christianity to be accurate and compelling. Yet, with all the exploring of Constantine, Roman and Greek history, their Eurocentric worldview would not let them totally admit and acknowledge that the majority of the ancient Masonic knowledge and wisdom had its roots and inception in either Kemet or Kush (lands of black people)—I must say they did hint at this fact. There is a sizable amount of empirical evidence and data that backs this historical contention. However, racism is one thing (this disease has warped the rational thinking of most American scholar, but white supremacy is driving Lomas and Knight to deny the findings which might suggest that African people had a superior historical culture”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Ralph M:&lt;/strong&gt; “My brothers, Hope this finds you and yours in the best of health. Kedar and Fahim, what do you both know about "Tiahuanaco"?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Dr. Ivan VanSertima in his book titled, "They Came Before Columbus" in the chapter titled: "Among The Quetzalcoatls" on page 75 he talks and write about Tiahuanaco of South America--stating, "of the sun at Tiahuanaco of South America is one of several American gateways distinguished by the Egyptian winged disc symbol." Thus, there is more that might be of assistance to you in that chapter”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Kedar Griffo:&lt;/strong&gt; “Sounds good however the Giza plateau pyramids are aligned to the Orion star constellation which were built about 13,000 years ago being the star constellation of Orion is half way thru the 26,000 procession of the equinox.  That predates the Mexican pyramids by 1000s of years. The solar observatories in African date to about 34,000 years or earlier.    Check out Nabta playa for the first "Stonehenge" which is found about 150 miles south of Cairo.  Additionally check out the Royal Annals as this stone shows the dynasties and pharaohs that existed 1000s of years before the first recognized dynasty with Menes aka Narner. I say that to say the knowledge was ancient in Africa when it travelled westward to America.  Lastly the pyramids in Nubia (Sudan) outnumber those in Egypt and are older.   By the time it reached Mexico our civilization was in decline because of the invaders and foreigners although we built those in Mexico as well”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Bro. Kedar this was very good information; I agree that the history tells us that Kemet and Kush fed the world (perhaps with the exception of China there was no civilization older). The Olmec Heads of Mexico and the replica miniature pyramids in Central America and South America; in particular the culture of the Mayas speaks to the transference of the Nubian culture making its way to the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean and was received by the Native people as being in the image and likeness of Black Gods (they constructed images and statues to reflect the people they came in contact with and the majesty they possessed—look at the African physicality of these relics). The Solar Deities were best personified in Kemet and although, the ancient people of the Americas had developed systems of measuring time and calendar—charting the sun, moon, and stars. However, in my opinion, this phenomenon was not necessarily just indigenous to African people because Native Americans Folklore tells us just the opposite (the interdependency factors and variables can not be overlooked, but questions always arise how much of this influence was external and how much evolved as just pure internal enlightenment)”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Ralph M: “Brethren,&lt;/strong&gt; How do we know if there was an ocean to cross during that time? What if the continents were locked together?? What if there was such thing as Edgar Cayce always preached??”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Bro. Ralph your comment takes me back to what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught, which was the entire planet was once called Asia (—West Asia and East Asia) and the Western scholars believe that at one time in history these continental land masses (the seven continents including the lost land of Atlantis) were not separated by water and geographically were one continued land mass (Pangaea theory). Some argue that these lands that sat on plates over millions (or may be billion or even trillion years ago) shifted or separated and this gave way to the platonic theory concept, which explains that the planet of land masses were typographically connected and unified. No one better articulated this than the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I think the historical timeframes and the evidence and data would perhaps suggest that Kemet as a culture might be recorded anywhere from 4000 B.C years to 10,000 B.C. years (some even suggest this history goes back 20,000 B.C. years) and no doubt the plates had shifted by this time and the waters we know today had separated these massive land masses. Therefore, I think the transference of this knowledge was over the Atlantic ocean as we know it today and the Nubians and those who occupied the Americas received it in this fashion, but orientation was simpler than we know because the DNA and the collective consciousness of the two people were intact because essentially they were kith and kin and essentially the same people. However, the waters may have separated the people and cultures, but the historical and culture connections of these ancient civilizations were never lost and those who are committed to research and study understand this reality”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Kedar Griffo:&lt;/strong&gt; “It's older than 10,000 years, the Sphinx has water erosion which dates back to at least 10,000 years ago.  Additionally, the Sphinx was aligned to the Star Constellation Leo which would have been the age we where under 10,000 ago.   We're going into Aquarius next year, leaving Pisces, before that was Aries during the time the jews claimed to be in Egypt and prior to that was Taurus and the Bull, the Apis bull of Egypt which is also called the Brahma bull, Brahma and Abraham, see the similarities.  Prior to that was the twins, Aset and Asaru, then Cancer, and then Leo (the sphinx, Har Em Akhet).  They Egyptians were master astronomers and created symbolism based on the Denderah calendar which is older than the Europeans want to admit.  Again if you notice during each age, the ruling deity used the symbolism of the zodiac.  For Taurus the Apis Bull which is associated with Ptah and Osiris, for Aries was the Ram or Amun, yet when Ankhenaten changed it to Aten, they knew he was wrong because the deity was Amun, the ram.  After him came Haru-Heru-Horus and the fish and bird symbolism which was copied by the Christians.  Now if you look at other cultures, they do not go no further than the age of Taurus which was roughly 6,000 years ago, but we can go back to at least the age of Leo which was over 10,000 years ago.   This is why cattle are sacred to Hindus, as it was to the Hebrews according to the bible”.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Remember the procession travels backwards one degree every 72 years and it takes 2160 years to go thru each zodiac sign and 26,000 for the entire procession.  Multiply 5 x 2160 and you get 10,800.  As they uncover more of our history, you'll find even more ancient artifacts.    This is confirmed with the Royal Annals which again gives you the names of the Rulers/Pharaohs prior to Narmer/Menes.  As well as Nabta Playa, which is aligned to Orion which again is the half way point of the 26,000 procession.  Lastly, remember they teach about a scorpion king,  well Scorpio is at least another 6,000 years prior to Leo, so now, you're reaching 17,000 years. Yes THEM taught this, but Asia ain't even an Asian word, so what was the land called prior to Europeans naming it Asia?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; This is what I liked about the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he referred to us, the Black man, as the original man (meaning his origin goes further back than any other race and essentially he was the first man). My brother, so often, we vacillate between using words and phrases that are not indigenous terms. For example, the name Sphinx, Pyramid, Egypt or Egyptian all these names we use were not indigenous names to the original people who occupied the Nubian land of Kemet; thus, these were Greek terms and surely the people of Kemet predated Greek civilization by 3500 years. So it is even historical inaccurate to identify these ancient people by the names of their invaders. We often use the term and name "Africa" to identify this continent and fail to realize that Africa has it origin with a Spanish/Portuguese cartographer (map maker) named Leo Africanicus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Big Mike 19:&lt;/strong&gt; What's up Square, I bring you greetings from Mt Hermon #002 in Atlanta, Ga (AF&amp;AM). I appreciate your willingness to communicate with a brother regardless of affiliation (3 vs 4 letter). I have 2 questions: 1) Are you familiar with a court case AF&amp;AM vs Prince Hall circa 1910? My understanding is that Prince Hall lost on appeal and 2)Is it possible that JGJ received a charter from another country (Romania)? I look forward to hearing from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Bro. Bryant: Thank you good brother for reaching out. I think you already know Prince Hall Masonry version of John G. Jones being a former suspended PHA Mason who left the organization not in good standings and it has been this historical controversial that has spewed debates on both sides of whether or not Bro. Jones' Masonic lineage is "regular' or 'irregular' relative to his Masonic claims”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I have had many discussions with AF&amp;AM brothers about this historical controversial and often from the Prince Hall perspective, it is maintained that Bro. John G. Jones did not have an official charter decreed upon him by an official Masonic entity”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Now, Brother for me, this is where it gets a little sticky, in particular for us African American Masons who ancestors arrived to the Americas as captives and prisoners of war. We look for Caucasian Masonry—the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) as the official legitimate Masonic body who so-called has the determining authority to declare what Masonic bodies would be consider "clandestine" and "regular". &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“This is atypical behavior of the Mis-Education of the Negro, as Dr. Carter G. Woodson defines this type of thinking. We do not consider ourselves to be 'official' or 'legitimate' unless we have the approval and sanction of white folk (a condition of mental slavery). So as a Prince Hall Masons, I would argue that Bro. John G. Jones had every right to exercise a sovereign mind and establish his own AF&amp;AM organization outside of white approval or PHA Black approval”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“I do not think there is any credible documentation that Bro. Jones received a Charter from Romania or any other European Nation. He was a high ranking Prince Hall Masonic official from the state of Illinois who had acquired all the knowledge from all the Masonic Houses both practical and philosophical and knew how to set-up and structure a Masonic organization and he did just that”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“But here is my argument, the Europeans stole and corrupted this ancient knowledge from Kemet (ancient Egypt) and I maintain that it's insane for us to be looking for some white (Romania) or British (UGLE) Masonic entities to validate our Masonic reality. This knowledge belongs to the Black man and whether you are AF&amp;AM or PHA, it is our duty to reclaim what's rightfully ours. My brother, I have written so many articles designed to teach all my Masonic brothers to look beyond the lies and distortions of western Freemasonry”.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“In the early 1900,s Caucasian Masons took Prince Hall Masons and Shriners to court claiming that Prince Hall Masonry was 'clandestine' " ... the White Masonic Order lost their legal battle to the Black Masons and on June 23, 1929, the United Supreme Court handed down the decision that guaranteed that Prince Hall Masons and Shriners had all the rights as a fraternity to appear in public and in private to practice the time honored traditions of Masonry”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson:&lt;/strong&gt; “Beautiful response. We may or may not agree about the legitimacy of AF&amp;AM, but the bigger issue is what you stressed.  Why do black masons have to run to the white mason who stole our legacy to make us legitimate. I feel that we ourselves should settle that discussion.  I believe PHA is the first legitimate black Masonic group period.  All of us should be holding you guys in high regard and settling our differences instead of UGLE.  Just my opinion great article, as always...”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Thank you brother Ferguson; I never miss an opportunity to stress black Masonic unity. Our agreements should be bigger than PHA disagreement about the historical legacy of Bro. John G. Jones. We should be seeking unity with other Black Masonic organizations and look to close ranks”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson:&lt;/strong&gt; “Bro. Knight you really need to look at yourself.  Anytime you can talk and have discussions with both sides of an issue you are blessed.  As you know we have very many Masons, but there are few Masons out there.  It takes men like you to make it happen...” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; Thank you Brother Ferguson; I am just getting back to the computer. Yes, I am truly humbled by your compliment and I try to do my best to be objective as possible because there is to much raw emotionalism on both sides of this issue and it gets us nowhere other than creating Masonic division.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson:&lt;/strong&gt; “I have thought about your words today.  The thing that really keeps me going is that one day Black Masonic groups will find common ground.  Brothers just don't understand when you glorify UGLE you down grade your African inner self.  I live and pray I will be around to see us all in one room rejoicing like we have found our brother in the rubblish after many years of looking.  To the dream I hope will become reality…”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Brother Ferguson: The question of our division has to be traced back to our psychological and sociological conditioning during Chattel Slavery (not to make excuses nor claim victimization). They institutionalized and bred us toward self-hatred and we were forced to accept the slave masters who were white as being superior and 'godly' (anything black was considered as being inferior). My brother this behavior pattern went on for 310 years and yet we are over 150 years removed from this brutality, it still haunts us as a race of people in 2011. The slave masters ruled based on his system of division and if any slave showed any tendency of advocating unity he or she was beaten and possibly killed. If I could make a decree on our Masonic order, I would impose that every Masonic Brother prior to being raised to the sublime Degree of Master Mason would be required to read Dr. Carter G. Woodson's book titled, "The Mis-Education of the Negro" (first published in 1933).  I believe that it’s time for AF&amp;AM and PHA to breakdown these artificial barriers, which keeps us divided and to establish common ground for the sake of our future. Just imagine if we broke the cycle and our children and grandchildren could have an example of unity before them, which revealed that black folk (the Masons) came together in a collective and unified manner. Thus, this could be inspiring for generations to come”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson:&lt;/strong&gt; “The brutal thing about this was in the sequel when they claimed to go to the beginnings of time they still could not acknowledge that civilization started in the East.  When we say that Kemit was the 1st civilization we are also saying that before Kemet our race was prevalent in the world.  Stories like Gilgamesh printed by the Sumerians were really stories written by or ancestors not theirs.  I do agree that there had to be other religious customs before Kemit, however, the Masonic Ritual we all use matches exactly with he Egyptian Civilization, there is no doubt.  I think our people on the other side of the tracks know if they say that is true then they would have to go back even further to establish we were here longer that the even give us credit for.  Let me leave you with this.  Now, me being Christian will take this, but people do not get it when I tell them the following.   If you take the bible and line up the places and people they talk about from Adam to Jesus you find something interesting.  First, the majority of the most prominent character in the Bible are Black and most of the events take place in Africa.  Why is it so hard to get people to see that.  Because we have been trained in the white Jesus picture we will not admit to ourselves that our so called teachers were wrong.  Even worse, very few ministers acknowledge those facts.  In Dallas, where we have all of these Mega-Churches only one minister takes on that subject Rev. Freddie Haynes. Everybody else is as quiet as a church mouse”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “I always get a good chuckle at most white scholars when it comes to them being objective relative to the history of African people. Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Chancellor Williams, Dr. Josef Ben-Jochannon, Dr. John G. Jackson, Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, etc., and African-Centered scholars and historians have proving without a shadow of doubt that the original man was the Black man and although, they desire for us to make racial, ethnic, geographical differences because we might appear in Sumer, or in Australia as the Aboriginal, Hijaz (ancient Saudi Arabia), Babylon (Iraq), or Abyssinia (Cush and/or Ethiopia), etc. And they strategically used these artificial labels and racial indexing to affirm (our division and deny us a sense of homogeneousness) and at the same time discredited Kush (perhaps one of the oldest Black civilizations) recorded in the annals of time in which Kush (spoken of in the Bible) fed Kemet (ancient Egypt) and all other civilizations sprung up from their mothers and fathers to claim certain aspects of the knowledge. They never desired for us to see ourselves from the prism of a racial and cultural synthesis (a as a unified people) of the connectedness of our DNA (genetic testimony) and did not matter, which continent you found the black man we are indeed one people; there was a cultural and racial linkage with their African ancestors who originated in East Africa. But the white supremacy mind desire for us to accept his intellectual system of racial indexing in which he is a master of divide and conquer (and a master at tricks and lies). For example, he renames people, places and alters their history for his benefit—they called us Africans (named after the Spanish or Portuguese cartographer Leo Africanius). The original man predates these ethnic and racial indexing. I think when you systematically rob a people of their culture and heritage for 310 years (1555-1865) and impart in them, that they and their ancestors made no worthwhile contribution to human civilization this is the worst sort of lynching. Yet, in so-called 1865, they removed the physical chains, but replaced them with something a lot more powerful and devastating and more sinister, which was the invisible chains of mental slavery (this was revealed in the Willie Lynch letter—it does not matter to me whether or not this letter was fact or fiction). My brother, I know for some of us it is a hard pill to swallow, but many of our Christian clergy and ministers have been thoroughly brainwashed and when you condition a people to view God, the Prophets, Angles and Savior as being White the effect of this can longstanding. Dr. Carter G. Woodson once stated you do not have to tell him to go to the backdoor, he will voluntarily go to the backdoor and will even cut one out if one does not exist. Dr. Naim Akbar writes about it in his book titled, "Chains and Images of Psychological Slavery”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tara Omar:&lt;/strong&gt; Hi Fahim: “My name is Tara Gregory. I have been researching my Gregory family and discovered that my gg-grandfather, Robert B. Gregory, was a Freemason. He was from Chickasaw, Houlka County, Mississippi. I have no idea if he was a Christian, Jewish or Muslim and since my grandparents and father are all dead, I can't ask them. I have been Muslim for 15 years and have some nagging in the back of my mind that Robert's father, Monro Balam, might have been a Muslim and Allah knows best. I have lived and visited countries in the Middle East and I get told often that I look Egyptian. Matter of fact, some of the Egyptians I see could well be one of my family members! I have yet to conduct a DNA test to narrow down the origins of my ancestors. Anyway, if you go to this link, I have a picture of Robert B. Gregory's gravestone...&lt;br /&gt;http://taraummomar.wordpress.com/genealogy”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It clearly shows the emblem of a Freemason. I am told it is a common one but I'd like an expert opinion. What I'd like to know is: 1) Do you know anything about African-American Freemasonry in Mississippi during the 1800s through early 1900s? 2) Does the emblem on my gg-grandfather's gravestone show the Masonic order he fraternized? The level he was at? 3) Do you think with my gg-grandfather being a Freemason, that it was likely he was actually a Muslim, even a closet Muslim? Any information you could enlighten me with would be appreciated!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Ms. Omar: Let me first state, that I am not an expert on Mississippi history or how Freemasonry evolved in that geographical area. But you know that Prince Hall Freemasonry was established around 1784 in which this African-American Masonic order became the first chartered Masonic lodge under the auspices of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE)”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Now, remember, although, the Irish and British had informally/formally introduced Freemasonry into the Thirteen colonies and had Masonically raised many white men into the brotherhood of Freemasonry and It would be the same Irish brethren (revolutionary war military soldiers) that raised Prince Hall and a number of black Masons (who were revolutionary war veterans) along with him, which gave rise to Black Freemasonry in the United States at least in theory. However, American style racism did not allow enslaved Blacks or Free Blacks to join white dispensation or chartered Masonic lodges”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“But there were some white American Scottish Rite lodges that did permit free blacks membership into their white lodges. Let me assume that your great grandfather based on the time of his birth and death lived during the segregated Jim Crow Era and since Prince Hall had established the all black Masonic order in Boston that initially was African lodge #459 that became African Lodge number 1 (Grand Lodge) in which all subordinate black Masonic lodges and persons of African descent became affiliated based on that said time period”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“So based on deductive reason, we can highly assume that your great grandfather was a member of the black Masonic Prince Hall Order. But let me inject this point, if he was a by-product of miscegenation and/or mulatto black and could pass for white then there is a possibility that he could have been a member of a White Mississippi Masonic Lodge (based on light skinned pigmentation)”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“You might be familiar with Abdul-Rahman story that aired on the PBS documentary titled, "Prince Among Slaves" in which this Muslim Prince was captured in West Africa and kidnapped and taking to Natchez, Mississippi. This story alone tells us that Muslims and Islam were in Mississippi amongst the slaves who were brought there to pick cotton and other cash crop commodities”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Thus, without a doubt your family could have Islamic roots. But I must say to you, no other people on the planet earth were totally robbed of the knowledge of self and this has made it very difficult to trace our lineage and roots back to a tribe, language and the land of our origin outside of knowing that our ancestors were kidnapped from Africa. The slave masters did not keep records of which tribe or people from whence we came the African slave. We were only considered Chattel and a commodity, our historical origin and culture was not important to be relished and passed on. This has rendered it very difficult to trace our roots because there were very poor records kept on the slaves”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“The only Grand Lodge under the jurisdiction of P.H.A that does not bear the title of Prince Hall is The Stringer Grand Lodge of The State of Mississippi. Named after a stalwart in Prince Hall masonry in the State of Mississippi, this is still a legitimate and recognized Prince Hall Grand Lodge”. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Perhaps one of the most legitimate sources on understanding the evolution of Prince Hall Masonry in the United States would have to be Joseph Walkes’ book titled, "Black Square and Compass: 200 Years of Prince Hall Freemasonry" reference pages 81-83 and there is another book that many black Freemasons have discredited because they argue that the research is shoddy titled, "Official History of Freemasons Among the Colored People in North America" authored by W.M. H. Grimshaw. I have found some sound documented facts and truths relative to the evolution of Black Freemasonry in the United States within this book”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“The gravestone emblem shows that your great grandfather was at least a Master Mason (A Blue Lodge Third Degree Master Mason) and one could assume that Masons presided over his funeral relative to giving him a full Masonic Burial. But also he could have been a Shriner (Muslim Son those who practice Islam in secret) and was very much familiar with Islam. You might want to visit the Prince Hall Affiliated Grand Lodge of Mississippi and see what you can dig up”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“Lastly, Minister Louis Farrakhan organization the Nation of Islam has written a very compelling book that delves into a lot of African American history in Mississippi titled, "The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews" Volume 2. Farrakhan scholars do a reasonable good job with slavery in Mississippi”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Talentedone 77:&lt;/strong&gt; “Hello Fahim, I would like to ask you a question in assume you will give me a honest answer in response. I have joined the prince hall masons and I'm suppose to be up for my 2nd degree this Monday 5/16/11 i feel that I'm walking into something which I know is very deep and I know the blood oaths have a very deep meaning behind them. Are Prince Hall Masons working for white supremacy, the vatican to keep african people in slavery? I know I can learn what they are teaching without joining but I like the fact of the brotherhood business network of success but I'm not down with selling my soul for riches and fame. I heard by 2012 or something that white supremacy.  I came across that white supremacy want all africans exterminated not sure if that's true. I know that europeans are worshiping african ppl and african ppl are worshiping the european it has been reversed around. Please give some feedback on this thank you”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Good Brother: I ordinarily, tell each potential brother who is seeking to join Prince Hall Masonry and/or any other group or organization to do their own personal due diligence. Now, with that being stated Black (or African American) Freemasonry has no ties to Satanic worship or the Illuminati, but I do believe that there are powerful influences that operate within various secret societies (circle within a circle, within a circle), which are Invisible to the ignorant mundane and is part of the Hidden Hand (the true rulers over humanity). These societies have no real use for laymen Freemasonry such as Prince Hall Masonry and Black Ancient Free and Accepted Masonry other than creating a deception amongst the general public in which those who have not been initiated into these front orders assume that these visible societies are where the real power lie and do not understand that these organizations serve as distractions (the real power is hidden under many layers of deception). The Masonic Oaths that you will obligate yourself to, are ancient oaths that Europeans introduced into Masonry in 1717 and may be even in the 11th Century during the Crusades—the Knight Templars and Jesuit movement (they being physical people and not spiritual people felt it necessary to impose blood oaths, which was consistent with his nature and physical reality). These oaths back then were to ensure that the utmost secrecy of the rituals and Order were preserved and no uninitiated person would be allowed to attain this knowledge unless he arrived at it in the proper due and ancient form and these oaths (obligations) over the centuries have made their way into the ritual of modern Freemasonry (our pundits propagandize that modern Freemasonry still carry out these penalties if a brother betrays the solemn obligations he affirmed to uphold). Let me assure you that these penalties have been reduced to mere symbolic gesture and have no intent relative towards enforcement. Yet, in a symbolic way it is to remind the candidate as he travels upward Jacob Ladder of how sacred the knowledge is and it is also to teach him that your word is your bond and before I should let my word to fail; I would give you my life. Thus, each degree is design to impart to the candidate above all else, is that one should desire to pursue character building over anything else”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Talentedone 77:&lt;/strong&gt; “Blessings to you Brother Fahim I thank you much for the response. Most of the stuff that Prince Hall Masons learn or know I've been studying on my own and learning every day I'm focus &amp; consciously awaken. Indeed I need to due my own personal diligence. The Lodge want me to proceed with the 2nd degree Tuesday, so your advice is for me to learn it myself. B/c in Masonry there really isn't not secrets or besides the dirty works one(s) may due. All the knowledge is encoded within the Africans DNA by our Ancestors. We just have to learn and know thyself. So say for instance if I was a Master Mason I wouldn't be able to speak about Ancient things and our Ancestors or liberate African people etc. So by Prince Hall having it's origins from Europeans is there a "true" Freemasonry that is originally from Kemet/Africa? You know about Sara Suten Seti, Kali Muhammad etc. and his movement for African liberation”?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Good Brother: I have written extensive pieces on Freemasonry and its relationship to Kemet. I must tell you that as a Prince Hall Mason; I learned a long time ago how to think outside the box (Masonry has the potential to lead one to a vast and wealth of knowledge). I have worked overtime to bring the ancient original knowledge (which was taught in the Kemetic Mystery System) to the Craft and challenged the Eurocentric version of Freemasonry in which most Black Masons follow. We need more brothers who are part of the Craft that are willing to research and educate our Masonic brothers beyond what we learn in Scottish Rite and York Rite Masonic Orders (these speculative Masonic schools of thought have limitations). Here is a link to an article that I have written on Masonry that you might find quite interesting. http://www.dailygrail.com/blogs/fahim-knight/2010/5/The-Kemetic-Origin-Freemasonry-The-Signs-and-Symbols-Do-not-Lie . Ok good brother, I remain open to further dialog”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. J. L.&lt;/strong&gt; “Brother Fahim, I'm reading your piece on Freemasonry and Islam. It may take a few days as I want to absorb sections and then return to continue reading. As I attempt to put the puzzle together in my own mind, can you comment on the connection between Kemetic Science and Islam? Several years ago, I considered joining the Islam faith, then the masons. I decided to hold off on the masons because it appeared that Kemetic Science held the original knowledge of the ancient Kemites and it would be best to go directly to the source. Can you help me tie the story together regarding Islam and Kemetic Science? Perhaps I will find the answer as I continue to read- if that is the case, just let me know. Do you have a similar piece on the 5% Fruit of Islam compared to pure Islam?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; “Peace Brother J. L.  thank you for taking the time to read my article on Freemasonry and Islam (some of your questions might be answered in that article. I do know that it is a lengthy article). The science of Kemetic philosophy goes much further back than the organized religion of Islam and as you know the Kemites under Akhnaton (who predated Moses were practicing monotheism long before the so-called Judea era--European Judaism). So Judaism, Christianity and Islam borrowed the majority of their precepts and dogmas from more ancient belief systems. Yet, I think that black specific Islam (Moorish Science, Nation of Islam, Nation of Gods and Earths) have probably done more to embrace a connection with Ancient Kemet (Egypt) relative to advocating and accepting that the original man's history, culture and tradition goes much further back than 6,000 years (moreover it would make perfect historical sense to do so); thus this alone requires them to view Kemet as part of the original man's ability to create a sophisticated high-tech civilization and no other civilization better displayed the creative and intellectual genius like the pyramid builders. So there is a quasi effort to tie Islam (black Muslims teach that Islam represents 360 degrees of knowledge) to the original genius of the Ancient Nubians. Whether I agree totally with their discourse is sort of irrelevant because I can respect their efforts to at least not overlook Kemet like many Sunni and Shia Islamic believers (those who follow the Islamic precepts revealed to Prophet Muhammad according to the Qur'an). Yes, I have written extensively on Freemasonry, Islam and Kemet as well as the Five Percenters. Just Browse my older archive posts.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have for the most part intentionally shied away from assessing, evaluating and exploring the subject of spirituality. Perhaps because I understood that these ageless and timeless truths would have required me to change internally and at certain times in my development, I was not prepared to venture into the spirituality realm for that exact reason. But I also understood to deny this most important state created a moral and ethical vacuum that has left me and others unfulfilled in which very few have truly embraced the principles (it forces us to look deeper at ourselves and many of us are not willing to do this) and this is evident by the state of humanity that we are still lacking in this area. Let me say this, I do not believe that it is coincidental and/or ironic that I have chosen at this time and space to explore this topic which has been burning inside of me for a very long time and the time to have this conversation has finally arrived (but this not an indication that I have attained any real level of spirituality that has elevated me to the level of Guru or Sage). I have not written a Blog/article in over two months or so (my initial thoughts were not to write anymore Blogs because all that needed to be said has already been said).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have spent most of my time during that period thinking heavily about how I wanted to approach this topic matter, which I had been working on this piece for the last two to three months loosely titled, "Spirituality" and it has taken me that long to complete my thoughts and I must admit that it has been by far one of the most difficult pieces that I have ever written. It had been sitting in my WORD documents for much longer than I expected and ordinarily prior to attempting to build on this piece; I constantly had to gather some inspiration in order to write a full and complete sentence and paragraph. Lastly, I also refused to read other works relative to the subject because I desired to have this piece be an expression of my own personal thoughts on the subject of spirituality and I was more curious of what's going to come out of me, as opposed to referencing and citing what others may have said on the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does Humanity become more spiritually centered? This is the question that is at the root of the social problems and imperfections that are plaguing humanity and has led to the demise of many past civilizations (humanity’s neglect of this axiom as individuals and societies has proven to be futile). This question can no longer be ignored or negated, if we truly desire to alter the present paradigm and change the state of humanity and begin the process of transformational healing and rebalancing the universe (anything less than this will continue to lead to death and destruction). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, the failure to recognize and accept the value of spirituality (which leads to the highest form of humanity) has been a direct result of arrogance and haughtiness and refusal to curb material appetites (the lowest form of humanity’s nature), which has led a sector of humanity to turn their backs on what would have been considered righteous and justice. They have always viewed the world from a linear and counter clockwise perspective. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our spiritual quest and/or pursuit, is tied to our Karma (good and bad) however, most of us are entrapped in past cycles of pain, grief, guilt, anxiety, etc. This is often at the basis of our relationships and we wonder how, and why, did we arrive at this reckless course of action that seems to be govern human behavior. The spiritual driven person does not allow themselves to become imprisoned by negative past events and understand that one of the greatest virtues is forgiveness. The act of forgiveness has healing power and it ends one’s cycle of past pains and moves the heart and mind into a state of eternal peace and freedom. Although, no one can advert or escape their own personal Karma—spirituality helps define and allows the human being to come to know a higher level of human suffering and yet is better equip to reconcile reciprocity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This position has to be unconditional in order to experience the exhilarating power of freeing oneself because often the forgiver is entangled in more internal affliction than the one we think need reprieving. The failure to release oneself from a judgmental disposition will eventually lead to biological and mental sickness. Our physical and mental well being is tied to our ability to liberate ourselves from the shackles of whatever perceived wrongdoing that may have been committed against us and allow our spirituality to exonerate the wrongdoers of any present or future liability—free them that you might free yourself.  The wrongdoing or grief that was caused should be met with a full force of compassion and it is mercy that frees up the negative emotions which immediately makes us better prepared human beings. However, not to relinquish the pain of yesterday ensures us personal turmoil in the present and future—only the ability to forgive will allow us to experience a deeper level of spirituality (an inner personal gratitude). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many of us have been relegated to self-imposed imprisonment where our minds and thoughts are steeped in past pathologies of agony, anguish and torture. They do not understand that there is power in letting go and moving on (love is the absences of hate). We have the ability to renegotiate our Karma (Buddha, Confucius, Zoroaster and countless others gave us a peep into the power of those that walk spiritual paths), it is all tied to our approach to spirituality in which there is nothing that is considered past, present and/or future cycles (that can not be broken and undone), which includes our lives that succumbs to the fierce energy of that which governs the visible and invisible world (the ability to change our thinking ensures human possibility and grants us altering potential beyond where we are right now). So as a man/woman thinketh so is he/she. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad thing is that no one has taught us how to escape these temporary states (pain and anguish) and therefore, permanence is allowed to set-in relative to how we relate to ourselves and others. Therefore, the external world (illusionary) becomes the vehicle of transference of anguish and the cycle pain continues to replicate itself, which undermines the psychological and physical possibility of having meaningful relationships beyond the superficial. Spirituality allows one to adequately address what's beneath the surface, which is self (this is where real questions and answers are entertained and resolved) which eventually evolves into an internal healing (only if one is prepared to take the journey). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This leads to a higher sense of self-awareness (nothing outside of this really matters, but one should not mistake this principle with vanity and ego). It is at this moment that one comes to the realization and accepts that all real change (must be internal) is predicated upon us as human beings, being able to resolve our internal contradictions—to know this understanding will remove all perceived external barriers (superficial) rendering them powerless over our lives. It is at this same moment that the predetermined destiny which you ascribe for yourself and others will began taking shape and form in particular, in stages of enlightenment (this is where true love and earthly fulfillment is found and it represents boundless freedom without limitations and imposed external restraints). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spirituality and freedom is synonymous, you can not have an appreciation and/or embracement of one and deny the other. Enlightenment is one of the attributes of spirituality—to allow the mind to go to the depths of seeing the world beyond their own selfish limitations and care enough to share in moving humanity and the earth from a temporary state of darkness to expansive illumination. Yet, I do understand that there are many enlightened men and women who are void of spirituality and are empty inside and live unfulfilled lives. They only make contributions to their vocations in which success and failure is measured in terms of things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have witness wealthy people who appeared to have it all (the outside world is drooling at the mouth with wishful thinking and admiration of the outward personal façade and did not know that they were looking at an empty shell)—money, status, upscale luxury automobiles, mansions, friends and yet their lives are unfulfilled and some have walked away from what appeared to be lavish lifestyles in search of obtaining a more inner peace. These people lives were not worth emulating, but it’s the outward vessels that have been more attractive to human inclination. The accumulation of things (money, cars, homes, etc., proved to be unsatisfying) only complicated their lives in which initially they thought money and their buying power would bring them happiness and personal gratification (they acquired lots of money, but was dead inside). Once they realized that this artificial state only created a vacuum (unfulfilled emptiness) and there had to be something more gratifying and self-fulfilling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, once they became aware of possessing the ability to detach, it led them to reconsider their value system and to relinquish certain material appetites. This is the path to truth realization; let me be clear with my readers, there is not one Path that defines and determines how we reach or attain a spiritual worldview. This writer does not have a philosophical map or a crystal ball to share with his readers as a definitive treatise and guide to lead them toward understanding how important and vital this stage is. Also, we have no authority over who will be admitted to travel this path. Thus, there is no clergy or religious text guiding how this process will take place and, although religion might lead one to embrace spirituality; it is far from being a perquisite to attaining spirituality. Spirituality does not need religion to affirm or validate its existence and has always stood independent of these formalizes processes and schools of thought. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps in the West there are a number of factors driving us away from the natural order of things and it has become a battle of good versus evil. True spirituality is a natural journey that brings us to certain awareness about self and everything around us is included in this assessment. To be able to look at one's self from inward and then outward and know that unless we as human beings work to remove the crud and look deeper into the essences of our souls—only there will we find love, compassion, harmony and a greater duty to humanity beyond the limitations that has been set by this world’s order. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything around us is failing—the government, education, religion, family structure, etc. This self-awareness is innately and instinctually and we are born to surrender to what is good in the universe and its value. However, the minute we are introduced to this present physical reality; it is designed to submerge us into systems of politics, economics and social stratums that are diametrically opposed to socializing the human being to recognize that we all are apart of this masterful collage that unites us as an integral connection to something far greater than ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is none more oppositional to the concept of spirituality than social Darwinism (survival of the fittest) and Capitalism (greed)—this is one of the root causes that has led and continues to lead to all of our personal turmoil and has led society to the abyss (cycles of death). Where human beings are conditioned to extract and consume more from the planet and their environment than is needed to sustain themselves. Their mindset places them outside of observing the true laws of nature; only kill what you can eat and only gather what you consume. Thus, allowing the cycle of life to be regenerative and reproductive simultaneously without exploitive disruption, which eventually leads to death and emasculation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, this is the present course that humanity has chosen to take and nature—seen in droughts, tsunamis, cyclones, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, snow and ice storms, etc., is openly rebelling. The scientist and experts blame the whether phenomenon on so-called global warming and gives abstract causes of why the planet is heating up—climatologists, geologist, meteorologist, physicist, etc., are baffled and their so-called scientific explanations have left us with more questions than answers. We know for sure that weather patterns are more much unpredictable today than they were just twenty-five years ago—the most visible indications that the earth is violently rebelling and its trying to over compensate these man made disorders in which the present day ecological disarray and chaos are small signs that humanity is in violation of the universal laws. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These type contradictory and out of balance systems have contributed to thought patterns that are diametrically opposed to the intrinsic good imbedded in the human make up, which is DNA coded. The concept of war and human aggression are by-products of human insecurities on every level and the negative energy it generates is driven by those who possesses super-egos and represents the antithesis to the spiritual driven mind. The recent human psyche is constantly being fed and geared toward all facets of external programming (give them more material things—change technological gadgets every six months--smartphones, I-Phones, I-Pods) and keep them engaged in social networking and make them think that by pursuing the latest form of technology is more valuable to their spiritual development than truly coming to know the value of self-realization. These things serve as human distractions and are geared towards keeping us from discovering the beauty and power that exist within. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The universe has poles of polarity—positive and negative forces that creates a magnetic energy of attraction just as the earth's waters are equalized and balanced based on the gravitational pull of the moon (created over 66 trillion years ago). I have come to an understanding that there are three plains of spiritual foundation which is rooted in the mind, body and spirit (soul). The mind is the only reality that exist and there is nothing beyond what the mind can create because it has the power to produce thought and explore imagination and provide us with the mental data to further generate positive and/or negative and is able to transition between two worlds the conscious and subconscious (the dream world). Negative thoughts are manifested in the opposite energy of what is good and it compliment/compromises and support harmony what is within the universal order of things. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our spiritual world is empowered by thoughts as well as all reality, but not many human beings are willing to allow themselves to move beyond what they can see, feel, taste, hear and smell on the physical plain and not allow themselves to experience the five senses on a much deeper level. All of the senses are manifestation of thought and human reality exists because of an inclination to create a world and society that is geared towards mastering physical reality. The ancient civilizations such as the ancient Kemites (Egyptians), Mayas, Native Americans, Dogons, Druids, Chinese, Indians, etc., had evolved 10,000 to 20,000 years ago to a higher form of civilization and most ancient societies shared certain social threads in which they saw themselves as miniature microcosm Beings that were connected to the larger macrocosm universe in which they were not afraid to embrace the divine laws of the universe. Western man has continued to ignore this holistic approach to life and view the universe as though it functions independent and without direct and indirect bearing on our physical survival—the universe is the only true sovereign entity—if the two most important laws that governs the universe, which is motion and order, ever becomes compromised our insignificance as human beings would be exposed and there wouldn’t be anything we could do alter our ultimate demise.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, this observance created for the ancients, a psychological and physical paradigm of personal connective to that ALL that is (from this understanding came the virtue of humility). The ancients did not see themselves superior to other earthly or universal beings and were able to interpret the language that was written in stars and embraced that man and nature are complimentary forces. They understood that the earth was five billion years old and is constantly evolving and they saw themselves as part of this evolutionary process and embraced that every living organism had a purpose (that was well defined for millions and billions of years, perhaps before man walked upon the earth)—the animals, plants, insects, etc., that were dependent and interdependent on each other and had over the ages prepared us with certain lessons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man has tried to interpret these lessons through the study of religion, metaphysics, zodiac, astronomy, science and other schools of thought and is still learning how complex the universe is. Spirituality can not be truly interpreted or determined to mean this or that, because of the power of the inner chi to move in the realms of the esoteric, Gnostic and occult. Spirituality functions outside of definitiveness and has little toleration for confinement and yet it has the ability to better define all reality.  We as homo-sapiens on a large scale have always viewed ourselves as being apart and superior to other species, which has led to creating disharmony with the balancing energy of the planet. We have lost that intrinsic and extrinsic equilibrium which lines up with the planetary and solar systems as the true manifestation of life source that all earthly beings must adhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the ego driven mind and personality that has falsely visualized themselves as superior species. The ancients came to know and understand that to embrace nature was equivalent to embracing life in its entirety and their survival was tied to how they treated the ecological systems—the waters, dams, lands, lakes, oceans, soil, animals, etc., and respected the food chain. They erected Deities and Gods based on what they observed in nature and the contributions it made to life expansion of society. Thus, from this came the formulation of rituals, customs, folklore, sacred rites, etc., and it created traditions which were only a means and attempt to interpreted and make reason relative to transference a visual and tangible communication to their civilizations (it was an attempt to try to explain the unexplainable). However, this perhaps contributed to the corruption of the intended virtues that spirituality rest upon. They confused the external symbolism (sacraments, rites, rituals, etc.) as being the way to attaining a higher manifestation of viewing the universe and human life—religion is the foremost present day corruption of the original principles and represents a deviation of the intended laws that governs spirituality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The planet will remain in chaos until humanity in particular, and the so-called ruling class (the 10% percenters) in general come to the realization that the scales of justice can only be temporarily manipulated (if you do not believe me just take a moment to look around you and it is evident that their power is crumbling) and our survival is pending on how well we line ourselves up with what’s good in the universe and pursue a spiritually centered direction over democracy, socialism, monarchial rules, etc. Many of those who are pushing saving the planet and calling for a green economy and appear as environmental friendly advocates are only hypocrites and liars. How in hell can you trust former Vice President Al Gore with saving the planet? And not realize that it has been his capitalist agenda and the Invisible Elitist which he fronts for, that has put humanity in their present predicament. Let me end here because this article is about my take on spirituality and not politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me start this article off as poignant, straightforward and direct as I can be with my readers because I do not believe in mincing words with the enemies of truth. I also, do not believe in anything the mass mediums convey and report via electronic and/or print media as being objective news (and definitely not truth based), which is often disguised as being unbiased reporting or journalism (this contention is the furthest thing from the truth; western news reporting has never been about ascertaining objective fact base). But all news are construed and designed to protect and secure the subjective interest of the Power Elite. This writer, as a commentator and social critic has held this contention and position for many years in which a long time ago, I arrived at certain conclusions based on my life experiences and research. Thus, what I have found very consistent with Western media is their propensity to lie and distort the facts relative to shaping and molding public opinion in order to enhance the global positioning of the Invisible Rulers (the 10% Bloodsuckers of the poor). For example, what we are consistently given by the corporate media and characterized as news, is nothing but lies and/or half-truths and propaganda relative to the chain of events that is taking place in Libya in particular and elsewhere around the world in general. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ancestors arrived to the eastern seaboard of North America and the Americas in general, as captives and prisoners of war. This historical reality makes it extremely difficult for me to reason with any form of imperialism that is being imposed on any of the 53 African Nations. I can never side with the enemy when they are attacking Africa—for those who still do not know that Libya is in Africa and this is the continent from which perhaps 50 to 100 millions blacks were captured and sold into bondage it is a crime that still languishes in the great halls of injustice and is very much unresolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Libya posed no threat to the United States, France and Italy; this writer applauded Russia and China as members of the United Nations Security Council for abstaining in No-Fly Zone Vote against Libya. The unjust declaration for going to war against Libya had absolutely nothing to do with the reason the West gave as a justification—accusing President Muammar Al-Qaddafi of so-called killing and slaughtering some of his own people who were in alleged opposition to his rule is a facade. Now, their above said pretense for going to war with Libya was the epitome of hypocrisy and deception. The West propagandized that they had an interest and concern relative to the Libyan’s people humanitarian rights which were alleged to have been violated by forces loyal to President Qaddafi. The above Western powers felt a sense of moral obligation to protect and defend the defenseless people in Libya. Right! (Oh the CIA intentionally left out that the Libyan opposition forces were agent provocateurs). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama had the audacity to demand that Qaddafi step down and leave his own country; just imagined, if a foreign agent even had the courage of meddling in the domestic affairs of the United States of America and was attempting to shape and mold our nation’s present and future political course. This type course of action would be considered un-conscionable and intolerable, but these are the type of double standards that are being systematically overlooked in the Libyan crisis. The CIA has literally created a civil war in Libya by inducing these artificial uprisings and then hiding their hands as though these revolts were grassroots inspired and so-called instigated by young people desiring for change. This writer along with many others believe that Qaddafi has the right to defend his nation’s sovereignty from these Den of Thieves in which their eyes are set on one thing, which is gaining complete control over the Libyan people’s oil. The Obama administration (keep in mind that President Obama is only following the script because the real powerful decision makers do not give press conferences; they only give orders to their low level operatives) and other world governments are only agents who carry out the will of the Hidden Hand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States was no longer willing to take the calculated risk of whether or not President Qaddafi would continue to allow western powers access to exploit Libyan oil (the decision to attack Libya was in part designed to remove the enigmatic oil broker Qaddafi from the equation). So the Seven Oil Sisters made a business and political decision to set in motion the type of chain of events that would destabilize Libya. My brother, made a critical era in judgment by allowing the Bush administration and former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair to deceive him into claiming partial blame of Pan Am Flight 103, the Lockerbie, Scotland airline incident that occurred on December 21,1988 killing 270 people, which was characterized by the West as a "terrorist" attack. Moreover, two Libyan nationals were eventually convicted and the Government of Libya settled financial compensations with the so-called victim’s families of this tragedy. Libya and Qaddafi accepted responsibility (this was actually a precondition devised by the United States, United Kingdom and France) and it was these chain of events that led to Libya being invited back into the so-called good grace of the United States and the United Nations after decades of U.N. sanctions and embargoes and international isolation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This secret arrangement appeased the public outcry and this move allowed the Oil Tycoons and the Western governments to temporarily ‘legitimize’ Libya and unknowing to Qaddafi, they were setting the stage for covert operations and ousting him from power. Qaddafi even gave up his aspirations of acquiring nuclear weapons and allowed United Nations inspectors to officially declare Libya’s nuclear program as defunct (decades of research, materials and billions of dollars all went to naught because he desired to appease the West who later proved only to double cross him by rendering him defenseless in lieu of receiving acceptability from Great Satan). We were taught that we love the Devil because he gives us nothing. This poor decision on Libya’s part weaken their ability to defend themselves in crisis like what is taking place in Libya today as I write this article. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What solidified the United States position was in 2009 Qaddafi appeared in New York at the United Nations and addressed the General Assembly on September 23, in which Qaddafi was in rare form and almost in a two hour lecture appeared as the outspoken radical that we were accustomed to seeing the Libyan leader—his defiant and adversarial disposition at the United Nations was reminiscent of Muammar Qaddafi prior to his signing a pact with the Devil—good, bad or indifferent, it appeared that Qaddafi had not changed and many saw this as a good sign for those who around the world had admired Qaddafi for his past revolutionary work. Qaddafi’s condemnation of the U.N. Security Council and questioned the United States Foreign policy would not be taking lightly by the United States and it was all but this speech that sealed his fate. The United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, etc., gathered that Qaddafi perhaps could not be trusted and to so-called continue to ‘legitimize’ him and Libya would be a mistake. The West initially thought that by bringing Qaddafi back into the world community that this would soften his politics and at least make him more conciliatory—boy were they proven wrong and Qaddafi took the world stage, the United Nations to express his antagonism toward the West. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets be very clear here, Libya being taking off President George Bush's ‘Axis of Evil’ and ‘Rogue Nations’ roll had nothing to do with how the West viewed Qaddafi in 2005 (he did not understand that he would always be viewed as a pariah and labeled as 'strongman' Qaddafi), the West decision to normalize international relations with Libya was not based on some sort of higher moral conviction, but Bush and Obama's new found respect for Libya was based merely on the oil resource and wealth Libya possessed (this decision or interest was rooted in the future potential to exercise economic exploitation and greed over Libya's black gold). Libya is the third largest exporter of oil on the African continent (Qaddafi did not want Libya to look like Nigeria, which British Petroleum has robbed our brothers and sisters of Nigeria blind of their oil resources. Why is Nigeria so rich, yet the people are so poor?) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wealth of Africa has become the wealth of the Western world and our people languish in poverty—poor and destitute—Africa is the wealthiest continent in the world and everyone continues to steal, rape and rob Africa of its vast wealth and natural resources (Black man it is your duty to protect and defend what rightly belongs to you and I) and for over three decades the United States had imposed embargoes prohibiting Libyan crude to be imported into the United States (oil is the most sought-after commodity in the world). Although, Libyan oil was still being rechanneled into the United States in spite of the sanctions (the triangle oil trade has been extremely lucrative to the Rockefellers in lieu of the decades of U.N sanctions against Libya and Iran). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps Colonel Qaddafi hadn't realized how much the world had changed since 9/11 (this hoax helped established a different global paradigm) in which the rules of engagement had took on a life of its own since the Cold War Era ended and the ushering in of a New World Order. And that all nations sovereignty and personal rights had been absolved based on how the U.S. Patriot Act was structured and how the United States had deduced the United Nations to a powerless symbol with little international jurisprudence authority to enforce the U.N. Charter. This trend will continually prove to be problematic and troublesome to the governments of the world who desire step outside the sphere of influence of the Western world. The United States had established two precedents—Afghanistan and Iraq (the roadmap into Libya wasn’t without a prototype) and the world for the most part has sat idly by while the United States imposed its imperialistic will on two defenseless nations and people. Some have rightly argued that both said conflicts have no clear military objectives or war strategies and viewing the two wars from those lenses will cause one to carelessly overlook the fact that the fight in Afghanistan and Iraq is about controlling two valuable resources—oil and heroin. The military strategy and objectives in Afghanistan and Iraq surely wasn’t about containing militant radical Islam; they can always use this as a trump card and continue to drive us sheep to the slaughter (they are masters at playing on the ignorance and emotions of the masses). Yet, one cannot ignore the obvious that Islam is under attack and also most of us know that Islam and Muslims are not just willing to rollover and these attacks on Muslim nations will only increase the deep divide between the East and West. I am predicting that Iran is next and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will be the next stop for U.S. imperialism upon completing Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Globalism and the One World Government were in full effect by 2005 and their arsenal of tricks had no respect for the Geneva Convention and every nation had become vulnerable, in particular powerless Developing Nations. Qaddafi in my opinion, allowed himself to be duped and he began to trust the same forces who for decades called him a "mad man" and "lunatic" and the CIA did everything in their bag of dirty tricks, which to turn back the revolution since its inception in 1969. These artificial crisis that have sprung up in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, etc., have been induced and well crafted by sophisticated minds to serve as distractions (smokescreens) and perhaps the real and hidden objective along was to undermine and destabilize Libya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qaddafi and Libya were accused for decades of sponsoring state supported terrorism and no doubt he used Libyan oil money to back progressive revolutions throughout the world. He headed the African Union (a block of African States that evolved out the Organization of African Unity) and called for a United States of Africa; no other modern African leader with the exception of Qaddafi since days of former Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah and Guinea President Ahmed Seku Toure who articulated the concept of Pan Africanism and have had that type of vision for Africa. Qaddafi had been accused by critics of perhaps being more Pan-Arab and Pan-Islam more so than Pan-African— yet in my opinion, he did not allow these so-called reactionary tendencies to disconnect his northern African state (considered by the west as part of the Middle East and Arab) from black sub-Sahara Africa. He gave generously to Black Africa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Qaddafi underestimated the nature of his enemy who has always been a master of tricks and lies. The United States Government even lured Colonel Qaddafi further to sleep and he placed between 30-50 billion dollars into U.S. banks (all of this would eventually be part of the setup) and they will use the forfeiture seizures clause to freeze and take possession of this money and justify their actions by saying, it could be used to finance terrorism (all this is well established in the language of the U.S. Patriot Act). The United States Government played this same game on Iran and Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 in which billions of dollars of Iranian money and assets were frozen and 32 years later the United States still has not released these assets over to the Iranian Government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer can recall when President Ronald Reagan in 1986 sent the United States 6th Fleet warship into the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Tripoli—bombing Libya in which the mission was to assassinate Qaddafi, but instead killed Qaddafi's young daughter. President Reagan had imposed an Executive Order prohibiting United States citizens the right to travel to Libya and our revolutionary brother Kwame Ture (Stokley Carmichael) of the All African Peoples' Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) in 1986 organized a group of black leaders and activist who defied Reagan's no travel ban to Libya. They took a U.S. delegation to Libya, which included Minister Louis Farrakhan and members of the Nation of Islam risking imprisonment and fines in order to demonstrate solidarity with the innocent people of Libya who were under attack. Their motto was "Hands off Libya". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Black leaders in America today are pitiful, cowards, and lack the moral courage to standup to injustice and raise a voice of opposition against the United States tyrannical acts aimed at the defenseless people of Libya. Yet, many of these Negro leaders hail Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as their leadership standard barrier and fail to realize that King confronted the enemy and if he was alive today he would not be silent in the amidst of domestic or international injustice. He was truly a drum major for justice (Dr. King openly denounced the war in Vietnam and most Negro leaders during that time turned on Dr. King for taking this courageous antiwar stances against the United States Government). Many of these scared to death Negro leaders value positions, status, materialism and closeness to their modern day masters and do not desire to risk their comforts or upset their masters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer has no respect for President Barack Obama he has been one of the most reactionary presidents in the history of the United States. Black people has allowed their emotionalism and loyalty to race to overlook how America's so-called first African American president has devastated the poor and his Foreign Policy has been reckless and no different than his predecessors (his loyalty is to an Elite Sector and not to them). He is a proven warmonger, but I tried to warn my readers prior to his "selection" I did not say "election" to the office of Pharaoh that he was put in place to serve the interest of the Power Elite and that Obama is a low level operative for the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg (if you did not know these three entities control the White House, Congress and in reality control the entire world). President Obama takes orders from those entities that helped him raised over 500 million dollars to win the 2008 election and now they are predicting to raise over a billion dollars in his 2012 reelection bid. This is a lot of money for a job that only pays 400 thousand dollars annually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people do not even have the intellectual wither all too just look back a few years ago when the propaganda machines vilified and discredited Saddam Hussein, which was followed by their war machines attacking the innocent people of Iraq and has been an occupying foreign force in this ancient nation. They told massive lies on Hussein and accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and convinced the ignorant masses that he was using biological and chemical warfare to kill his own people the Kurds in the northern part of Iraq. The Iraq War was built on the premise of a lie and the American people continue to allow themselves to be duped at every turn in history and continue to be used as pawns. The United States taxpayers are already over burden with war debts in Afghanistan and Iraq and now without a vote from Congress or approval from the American people President Obama has declared war on Libya (incurring another huge debt that will be passed on to the American people). But do not be fooled war is a very profitable enterprise and those who receive these no bid military weapons contracts are solvating at the mouth. Also, America has no other choice but to create wars because it is the only thing left to stimulate a dying nation and economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our government is on the brink of a financial catastrophe unlike any other time seen in the history of our republic (the 2008 economic meltdown was only a test run and all I can say is get your survival kits in order). The masses of the people do not have the will to tell the puppets in government that enough is enough. We can not afford to police the world when American forces are already stretched thin and to soothe some of the American people’s apprehension toward this war in Libya; the operation in Libya is now so-called being turned over to NATO Forces at least in theory, but the largest fighting contingency will be U.S. troops and the U.S. taxpayers will still be footing most of the bill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer has always respected every nations right to exercise self-determination and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya was socialist ideology steeped in divine principles of rule that truly considered the will of the people and their human rights to evolve without exploitation and was consistent with the universal principles of freedom, justice and equality. This form of socialism was not necessarily steeped in western interpretation and went far beyond the materialist analysis cited by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, but in a secular way it was rooted in the tradition of the Qur'an and Islam with a high degree of infusion of the history, culture and tradition of the Berbers, Bedouins, African and Arab people. This writer first became aware of Muammar Qaddafi's ideology and philosophy via a college classmate and friend named Hassan Malik who was from the South Bronx, New York. Malik gave me a copy of Qaddafi's "Green Book", it was a small three volume set where Qaddafi laid out his political, economic--socialist theories. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Richard F. Nyrop in his reference book titled, “’Area Handbook of Libya” stated: “The Green Book begins with the premise that all contemporary political systems are merely the result of the struggle for power between instruments of governing. Those instruments of governing—parliaments, electoral systems, referenda, party government—are all undemocratic, divisive or both. Parliaments are based on individual democracy or representation. Representation is based on separate constituencies; deputies represent their constituencies, often against the interests of other constituencies. Thus the total national interest is never represented, and the problem of indirect (and consequently unrepresentative) democracy is compounded by the problem of divisiveness. An electoral system in which the majority vote wins all representation means that as much as 49 percent of the electorate is unrepresented.” (Reference: Richard F. Nyrop; “’Area Handbook of Libya”; pp. 206-207).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Seven Oil Sisters: Standard Oil of New Jersey and Standard Oil Company of New York (now ExxonMobil); Standard Oil of California, Gulf Oil and Texaco (now Chevron); Royal Dutch Shell; and Anglo-Persian Oil Company (now BP). Perhaps many of you have read in my numerous past articles where I made mention of the criminal cartel known as the Seven Oil Sisters. The war against Libya is being driven by this powerful Oil Cartels and the Dynastic Families that own interest in these sovereign governments (oops I meant sovereign corporations). They determine the course of global foreign policy and set how the energy, oil and gas markets will fluctuate because of their immense control over the world’s global resources. Thus, the motivation for war in Libya has little to do with autocratic or monarch rule in Libya and it has everything to do with these robber barons taking complete control over Libyan oil fields and exploiting the wealth of Libya. Qaddafi committed the unpardonable sin 42 years ago by nationalizing its oil and allowing the people of Libya to share in the wealth of Libya. They tell us that Libyan oil represents approximately 2-3 percent of the U.S. import market and yet U.S. gas prices are soaring and the masses of the people have no idea whose is really behind manipulating our political, economic and social lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, this writer tilts his hat to Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, perhaps the only Black leader who has stood up and raised a voice of opposition against the actions of the United States relative to the war on Libya. I know he as done a few outstanding press conferences and talks on Libya. But when I am in my writing zone, I do not like to compromise my thoughts by engaging in other people’s ideas and political positions. But I was compelled to read a small portion of Minister Farrakhan’s interview transcript from the press conference held at Mosque Maryam in Chicago and no doubt Brother Farrakhan’s analysis was thought provoking. But if someone has the links and desire for me to post them as a hyperlink to my article just send me an email or post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American people and global community are very gullible and I am basing this statement on the recent so-called political unrest in Egypt and the call for the reform movement that is taking place in that nation (ignorance is at an all time high relative to this international crisis); I did not say revolution there are some distinct differences between those who seek revolution and those who advocate reform (the ignorant masses do not know the differences between the two ideologies). Frantz Fanon is his monumental book titled, "The Wretched of the Earth" analyzed the differences with what is deemed revolutionary objectives and how these objectives differ from reform. This is a good opportunity for the scholars and laypersons to revisited Fanon's work because no one has analyzed European colonialism and the effects that imperialism had on North African society to the extent of Fanon. The entire African continent and the so-called Middle East have yet to overcome the longstanding vestiges of tribalism, classism, religious divisiveness (Sunni versus Shia, Jew versus Muslim, Christian versus Muslim, etc.) and the artificial class stratums (rich versus poor) that were systematically imposed by the former colonial masters (the colonial masters agendas of yesterday are entrenched in the very social fiber of how their former colonist think and react today). (Reference: Kwame Nkrumah; "Consciencism"). They have always perceived other people's culture, traditions and system of government as being inferior to their own and therefore, imposing their worldview on all the indigenous people to whom they came in contact with around the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alvin and Heidi Toffler in their book titled, "Creating A New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave" stated: "Because massive changes in society cannot occur without conflict, we believe the metaphor of history as 'waves' of change is more dynamic and revealing than talk about a transition to 'post-modernism'. Waves are dynamic. When waves crash in on one another, powerful crosscurrents are unleashed. When waves of history collide, whole civilizations clash. And that sheds light on much that otherwise seems senseless or random in today's world." (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; "Creating A New Civilization" p. 27). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, most of these new conflicts arising in the Middle East are rooted in a past historical paradigm where the West has allowed these oil and mineral rich Arab nations to establish "Royal Families" (there has been no such thing deemed democracy in this region of the world and yet they have always convinced us they were on a quest to democratize the heathens of the globe) based on rule by Elitist blood lineage (blood has always been the determining factor for who was to govern and America and other Western Nations have always turned a blind eye to the corruption and the brutality of these wealthy Arab monarchs (perhaps in our civics and social studies classes in our middle school curriculum, we were not taught the difference between a "Monarchy and Democracy"). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States interest in the region has been twofold—they have unconditionally backed the Zionist State of Israel (which receives over 4-5 billion dollars annually in U.S. Foreign Aid) since its creation in 1948 and the other interest has been our dependency on Middle Eastern oil (this interest has been led for generations by the Rockefellers). (Reference: Andy Stern; Oil From Rockefeller to Iraq and Beyond"). These variables have required one of the most delicate international political balancing acts and others would argue that America's position in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been everything but balance and critics would argue that it has been lopsided at best. (Reference: Obadiah Shoher; "Samson Blinded: A Machiavellian Perspective on the Middle East Conflict").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The former President of the United States Richard Nixon in his book titled, "Seize The Moment" stated: "The Arab-Israeli conflict poisons our relations with the Muslim world and undercuts our ability to cooperate with countries with modernist, pro-Western leaders. Israel's occupation of Arab lands--and particularly its increase harsh treatment of the Palestinians--polarizes and radicalizes the Muslim world. It undermines the moderates, such as President Mubarak of Egypt. All Muslim leaders support the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people and view the harassment of Israeli occupation forces in the so-called intifada as legitimate armed resistance, not terrorism." (Reference: Richard Nixon; "Seize The Moment"; p.220). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So one has to raise the question of who is really behind the events occurring in Egypt. The true intent of those who have historically advocated revolution was not just interested in removing reactionary dictators (we must understand that Mubarak and other Islamic puppet leaders are just symptoms of the problem and not the cause), but the objective has always been to bring about the complete changing of a system and replacing it with what was deemed as a better form of government or rule that would be responsive to the political, economic and social needs of the masses of the people (a reform led movement will forever fall very short of this objective). Minister Malcolm said it better than anyone else that I could think of, the revolution won't be televised. Let's be clear what's taking place in Egypt is far from a people's revolution, it will not bring about a real change of power nor will it alter the political paradigm in Egypt or the Middle Eastern region. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you see taking place is artificial and these reformist leaders know that their agenda will not ultimately benefit the Egyptian Lumpenproletariat, but it's designed to further the privileged class of the Egyptian Elitist and further empower the Petit-bourgeois sector—these type movements are never meant to change the status of the have-nots other than furthering their oppression and repression under the pretense of change, as well as, continuing to enrich that 10% bloodsuckers of the poor. The masses have bought into the false propaganda that the so-called Middle East and North Africa (you do know that Egypt, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia are in Africa and not in the so-called Middle East) up risings and we fail to understand that ordinarily that these type political and social events are well crafted and induced in order to benefit the Club of 300 (the hidden Invisible Rulers). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Powerful Invisible external forces set the date, time, place, etc., of the crisis in Egypt and has already determine when it shall end and what the outcome is going to be (they have been responsible for staging all global crisis from those with negative consequences to those having positive consequences for the last 200 years). The so-called militant Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement, if allowed to succeed President Mubarak as a new face and political voice of Egypt, they would have already met with the leaders of the Zionist State of Israel and the CIA, which to receive their marching orders (relative to cutting a covert deal with the real power and authority in the region before they assume power). Moreover, to the Muslims, you must surely know that these events do not constitute the beginning of an Islamic revolution. I know many radical militant Muslims are viewing the uprisings in Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, etc., as having the potential of giving rise to a new Islamic era and fail to realize that their "revolution" is being induced by Invisible Elitist and International Bankers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer doesn't quite see these chain of events from an Islamic-religious perspective, which is steeped in some divine prophecy that has been preordained by Allah (God); However, I do share this small thread with the Islamic fundamentalist (and in reality the Egypt crisis has created an ambivalence inside me), which sometime even induced crisis possess the potential to move outside the intended objective of those who instigated the crisis and this could very well turn into a spark that was initially unpredictable and unforeseen having the smallest potential of uniting the Muslim world. Moreover, if the scenario plays out in this manner, then no doubt this could be the fuel to unite the Islamic world and for once declare themselves free from monarch rule. I still do not think these divergent Islamic cultures and religious ideologies could agree on whether the new model of rule should be an Islamic Theocracy or the embracing of modern Islamic secularism (this lack of homogeneous thought would render perhaps the same present day reality with where Islam and Muslims are as I write this article—a divided Jummat). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The West surely would still play a part in these matters of international decisions. But here is the problem with that axiom, Saudi Arabia is the most reactionary Islamic Government in the Middle East and it has truly sold its soul to the devil and until these Wahhabi infidels (the gatekeepers of the Kaaba) are dealt with nothing is going change for the Muslim world because so as Mecca and Medina go so does the Muslim world. Perhaps when I see upheaval and uprising in Mecca and the people overthrowing the Saud family monarchy who also has been good lapdogs for the interest of the West for over eighty years only then will my optimism increase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egypt will continue its Islamic secularism and continue to receive economic foreign aid crumbs from the United States and the United Kingdom after Mubarak is long gone. The region is of strategic and vital importance to Western European nations. They are not really concern about Arabs killing Arabs this is the least of their worries; however, the Suez Canal is one of the most vital ports for international commerce and trade, as well as giving United States and Israeli Warships quick and easy access to points in the Middle East and points in Africa and routes to the Indian Ocean. But the most important commodity is the millions of tons of Middle East oil, which is allowed to pass through Egyptian maritime ports. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James M. Day in his book titled: "What Every American Should Know About the Middle East and Oil" stated: "Although not an OPEC member, Egypt is an important factor in the oil world and Mid East. Not only is it an oil exporter, it controls the Suez Canal, a vital oil tanker route. . .The completion of the Suez Canal by Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1869 was the biggest thing to hit Egypt since the invention of the pyramids. Unfortunately, construction costs and fraudulent bookkeeping by the French-managed canal company and European bankers bankrupted Egypt. In 1875 Queen Victoria bought 44% of the stock in the Suez Canal for the British Government so its ships were guaranteed the short cut between England and India.” (Reference: James M. Day; "What Every American Should Know About the Middle East and Oil”; p. 11). Thus, the outcome of Egypt's turmoil will not change the standard of living for the Egyptian people nor alter the political, economic and social condition of the 85%—they are being used only as canon fodder and when the smoke clears and the dust settles, they will still be under the control of another ruthless monarch (and there still will be no equal redistribution of the wealth upon the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mubarak and his families and cronies have stolen billion of dollars from the Egyptian people with the majority of the money being housed in European, Swiss and U.S. Banks. These damnable Islamic hypocrites (referred to in Arabic as munaafiq or kuffar) consistently violates Islamic Sharia by imposing and receiving interest on their money and lending interest based money (economic and financial usury) which goes against the teachings of the Qur'an. They are in bed with Shaitan (Satan), Mubarak has accumulated (stolen) more personal wealth than Bill Gates founder of Microsoft. He is a billionaire and yet the Egyptian people are poor and oppressed. President Barack Obama for days during the initial stages of the crisis in Egypt did not utter one word against Mubarak because he was under strict instructions not to repudiate this CIA agent provocateur. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am quite sure the United States or Great Britain is already prepared to give Mubarak diplomatic immunity and political asylum either in these two nations or any other nation of his choice. He will be rewarded for his betrayal of its people, as opposed to allowing him just to walk away from his crimes, he should be extradited to the United States to stand trial as a war criminal and/or turn him over to the Egyptian people and let an Islamic jurisprudence process impose justice under Islamic Sharia—this is the only type of justice that is deserving of a traitor like Mubarak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These monarch puppets do not believe in Islam, they are staunch capitalist and yet the United States has the audacity to bless some dictators and condemn others; they want us to reject President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe so-called based on his human rights record while they are in bed with these ruthless Arab monarchs. The United States Foreign policy is full of contradictions, but the masses have relied on the mass mediums of U.S. propaganda machines to inform them and this well crafted subjective reporting machine keeps them misinformed and ignorant of the issues. Egypt has not had a democracy perhaps since the great dynastic eras of ancient Kemet and yet the American people have allowed our hard earn tax dollars to be used to support this imperialistic and reactionary government (yet the United States has an escalating national deficit and Federal Reserve has bankrupt our nation). President Hosni Mubarak is nothing but an United States and Israeli lapdog. He has been on the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) payroll for over four decades and what many do not know he was the CIA front man in the assassination of former Egyptian President Muhammad Anwar Sadat on October 6, 1981. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former President Jimmy Carter in his book titled, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” stated: “During many conversations with Sadat, I often expressed apprehension about Egypt’s growing isolation from the other Arab nations, but he would scoff at my concern. He was certain that his bold initiative represented his own people’s aspirations for peace, and he was equally convinced that most of Israel’s other Arab neighbors had the same ambition, at least among the people themselves. He strongly and publicly condemned the leaders of those nations for their short sighted timidity when fail to follow his example. Sadat proved to be right about the fruitlessness of attempts to punish Egypt. The other Arabs could not long exclude or ignore Egypt, with its formidable armed forces, central location, ancient cultural heritage, heterogeneous population of 47 million, large external workforce, and the willingness of its leaders to explore bold new concepts. A Tel Aviv University professor told me that the Arabs’ attitude toward Egypt during their attempted boycott reminded him of an old headline in the London Times, “Fog in Channel. Europe Isolated.” (Reference: Jimmy Carter; “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid”; p. 90) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who do not know the original Hamites and Nubians who occupied Egypt shares no kinship with these Semites (they are imposters) who occupies Egypt today, which means only the original man can lay claim to this land and territory—this is a whole new discussion, but it is relevant and germane to the future of Egypt.(Reference: Chancellor Williams; The Destruction of Black Civilization: Great Issues of a Race from 4500 B.C. to 2000 A.D.). These Robber Barons have duped the world into believing that it was their ancestors who built the pyramids and created the majesty in ancient Kemet (Egypt) and I have exposed this lie in a number of articles that have written and posted on my Keeping it Real Blog &lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20...."&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20.... &lt;/a&gt;(Reference: Rudolph R. Windsor; “From Babylon Timbuktu”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They (the United States Government) elevated President Hosni Mubarak because of his obedience and loyalty to the United States Government, he has been a good gatekeeper for the enemies of Islam and against the Egyptian people. The United States State Department and the Pentagon handpicked this traitor and have used him against the legitimate political aspirations of the Egyptian people, in particular and the Arab people in general. He was deemed a moderate Islamic voice (whatever the hell that means) and one of his primary assignments was keeping Islamic militancy and radicalism under control while the United States sent him billions of dollars in foreign aid to help him control the Suez Canal, which served as defense barrier for Israeli State and at the same time President Hosni Mubarak was not really concern about the Israeli blockades and the prohibiting of humanitarian aid being allowed to the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Israel is considered the 51st state and Egypt is considered 52nd state of these United States of America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer caution people and scholars to be very careful of how we analyze this crisis in Egypt relative to the political and social upheavals that is taking place in Cairo and throughout that nation because it is difficult for me to overlook the role that the powerful Invisible Forces play in manipulating world events and shaping the reality for humanity. I do not know what the ultimate objective may be in the Middle East region, but I do think these events have been well orchestrated by some shrewd external forces, thus it makes it difficult to measure, if there will be any credible merit to these uprisings and rebellions and/or will they produce any real political, economic or social changes for the masses of the Egyptian people. However, as I have stated above the crisis in Egypt must be viewed as a mere reformist movement and being far beyond what a true revolution is, which means no real change is going to take place for masses of the Egyptian people and whoever replaces President Hosni Mubarak will be handpicked by the United States Government and the so-called new policies will only be a continuation of Mubarak’s repressive policies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revolution seeks to alter the entire system and replaces it with a new form of rule and often it is unpredictable when revolution will come knocking. I also believe that you can read much into this crisis relative to the plight of Islam, although, Muslims will perhaps seek to exploit these artificial chain of events as the possible beginning of an Islamic world revolution (to further incite Jihad), but will quickly become disappointed to find out that perhaps the CIA and its international agent provocateurs are behind what is taking place throughout the Islamic world (they are setting Muslims up for the next global stage paradigm). But I do know that the masses of humanity are disenchanted and dissatisfied and the young people of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, etc., are examples of the spirit of youth who no longer desire to be controlled by undemocratic monarchs who live lavish lifestyles while the masses remain poor and destitute. What is taking place in Egypt was destined to occur; it has been in the making for over thirty-years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer after writing and blog publishing many articles on Freemasonry and as I have stated in the past, it is still much to learn about this ancient philosophy and it will never become an exhaustive subject; thus, I am still constantly bombarded with questions and comments from Freemasons and knowledge seekers; they are often intrigued that I have dared to think outside the box and looked at this ancient school of thought from various philosophical perspectives and have never been shy or wavering in pursing Speculative Masonic ideas and allowing my intellectual creative to be the guiding LIGHT, in particular in my pursuit of trying to understand Masonic truths and challenging some of the conventional perspectives that European scholars have written about this ancient philosophy. I have argued for many years that to truly understand Freemasonry one must fully understand and accept that it had its origins in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and without observance of this relationship renders Freemasonry fictitious and erroneous. The origin of this ancient knowledge was first taught in a systematic manner in the Egyptian Mystery System (Egyptian Freemasonry was rooted in a higher degree of mathematical codes) that wasn’t germane to Greece, Rome or England—Kemet (Egypt) predated these societies by thousands of years relative to their understanding of physics, geometry, mathematics, architect, art, astronomy, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The physical evidence is still trying to be understood (assessed and evaluate by social scientist) by Egyptologist, anthropologist, archeologist and the natural scientists are still unearthing past civilizations that existed in Kemet (Egypt) for answers as it pertains to this high-tech culture that has marveled the world since the dawn of time. The Kemetic mathematical codes (are best seen in how the great pyramids were constructed) cannot be properly understood outside of a set of universal laws, which must be rooted in one’s ability to mastering the knowledge in ciphers, cryptogram, secret language, secret codes, etc., (no other society of people since the ancient Kemites have ever met this challenge and all this knowledge still remains much a mystery as it did over 3,000 years ago) this lack of modern day mental capacity to even understand the historical greatest of Kemet has baffled western scholars and social scientist in their inability to interpreted the scientific laws that governed the culture, belief systems, and the philosophical sciences, which made Kemet the perfect cultural and intellectual model that remains unduplicated in majesty and valor even in the 21ST Century. The Kemetic mathematics (went beyond the study of quantity, structure, space and change) is outside most present day scholars ability to recognize and comprehend (thus each excavation only reveals another riddle to the puzzle) and Freemasonry has only tapped into a perverted and distorted understanding of what regeneration mean (and why the dramas of birth, death and resurrection) is so important and ever reoccurring to the philosophical themes of Freemasonry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freemasonry in its present form has been corrupted by western culture and values—they have been bent on hiding the truth and dishonoring and tarnishing the symbols, artifacts, as well as tainting the Kemetic philosophy into Orders, we accept as Masonic authorities such as the Scottish Rite and York Rite Orders. Moreover, and just because these European based orders have so-called legitimized themselves as official Freemasonic bodies and entities—this writer knows that the knowledge, mysteries and wisdom go much further back than their historical claims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have systematically made European Freemasonry as a model of enlightenment and simultaneously denied that the signs, symbols and rituals were rooted in the history and culture of those Nubians who wore the title Master Builder and the Great Pyramids are the physical and spiritual evidence of their grand intellectual and architecture designs. I was a student of Dr. Yosef Ben A.A. Jochannan (author of the book “Black man of the Nile and his Family”) and he was a true Grand Master who taught how magnificent Kemet was as apart of African history and defended the geopolitical and cultural connections this land had with the entire African continent (Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop was equally vigilant in his defense of the Nubian origin of Kemet) and refuted the false contentions that ancient Egypt was part of the Middle East or sat in the Mediterranean Sea (some still even in 2011 continues to make attempts to take Kemet out of Africa) in order to deny the African contribution to world history and world civilization (the epitome of western racism) and was more apart of the Maghrib region and geographically disconnected from what they refer to as Sub-Sahara Africa. What standout in my writings on Freemasonry, is that I have chosen not to be confined to 32 degrees or 33 degrees of knowledge, we learned a long time ago that knowledge is a complete circle of 360 degrees (anything short of this renders incompleteness). I credited my understanding of this reality to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and no one has broke down Freemasonry and gave us the true meaning like Messenger Muhammad and I still remain a student of his mission and program and most of what you have credited to me, I received it from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Thus, I am not a shame to let you know who some of my teachers were. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a professor named Dr. Gary Lachman who posted a brief synopsis of his upcoming book on The Daily Grail (TDG) website (&lt;a href="http://www.dailygrail.com/blogs/Gary-Lac..."&gt;http://www.dailygrail.com/blogs/Gary-Lac...&lt;/a&gt;) titled: "The Quest For Hermes Trismegistus" in which the chapter Lachman excerpts gave me the impression that he was placing more scholarly emphasis on Greece and the so-called Mediterranean acculturation exchanges between the two societies as a primary cause for Egypt’s greatness—cultural bandits who invaded Kemet more so than acknowledging that Kemet fed cultural enlightenment to the entire world. This was my response to Dr. Lachman on the TDG forum and I am still waiting for his response: “The people of Kemet (Egypt) had a deep sense of appreciation for knowledge and the concept of language and symbolism existed beyond just the physical libraries and/or even before books were recorded. But the Metu Neter was seen inscribed on the Temples at Giza, Cheops, and Luxor and many ancient sites in Kemet. It was Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. who raided the libraries at Alexandria with an attempt to destroy and desecrate the Ancient knowledge that had existed long before Greece and Rome were even a thought on the stage of human civilization.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Greeks stole most of this ancient knowledge and took it back to Greece and proclaimed it as their own. I noticed that this excerpt that you posted did not mention the name Kemet (Egypt) not even once and if I did not have a grasp of history and geography, it would have been difficult to ascertain that you were referring to Kemet (Egypt) in this piece. The ancient coffin text and the "Egyptian book of the Dead" properly known as "The Coming Forth by Day" indicates in the ancient scrolls, that even before the language was symbolized on papyrus there was a higher system of learning being carried out in the Egyptian Mystery Schools; where the knowledge of the esoteric and occult were being spread amongst a select sector of neophytes. The real knowledge was best manifested in the sacred temples and was inscribed on the walls of the pyramids in which these were the more sacred libraries (anthropologist and Egyptologist are still digging up earth and attempting solve this ancient puzzle and riddle). Most Europeans who address topics dealing with Kemet (Egypt) often address these ancient originators of civilization from a Eurocentric perspective and this lead to the research being flawed. Note: Islam and the Arabs, Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks, etc., were all invaders. Kemet had magnificent dynastic periods that predated these robber barons.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, once again, I believe that some of the correspondence (emails, telephone calls and visits) that I have received are just too valuable to remain as private conversations and there are perhaps many more Masons and non-Masons who have questions about Freemasonry, but just do not know where to turn and if anyone knows me I do not duck questions and I have always attempted to give honest responses to all those who have contacted me and reached out for understanding. Many Masons cannot get the answers they desire from the Blue House, Scottish Rite, York Rite, Shrine, etc., and the other various Masonic Houses which they belong because so much emphasis is given to the social and not nearly enough given to Masonic intellectualism. The lodge has become more of a social club as opposed to being a place of enlightenment and where knowledge and wisdom are being dispersed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brotherhood of Prince Hall Affiliated Masonry and Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&amp;AM) are in search of knowledge and those who are responsible for providing adequate Masonic instructions have failed to deliver and impart the necessary wisdom relative to expounding upon the mysteries. This void has led many Masons across international lines to contact me for Speculative Masonic dialogue and this is because they are not getting this from the various Craft leadership within their respective Masonic jurisdictions. However, my blog is not an indictment of Masonic instruction or to expose deficiency and weakness (my ultimate objective is to use this forum to teach and educate), but it shall serve as a challenge to all of those who were raise from a dead level to a living perpendicular on the square to be responsible for your own quest for the journey you chose to travel (it is your responsibly to take ownership over your Masonic travels and enlightenment and not to depend upon others to this for you) . My recommendation to all those who may come in contact with this article and my blog is to read and search the ends of the earth for those hidden truths and continue to perfect that Rough Ashlar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Mario C. Williams:&lt;/strong&gt; "Greetings Mr. Knight; while doing some research for my Grand Lodge I ran across your article titled above, I am sure you have received many positive comments regarding your article over the years but I would like to say “Outstanding Article Sir. (&lt;a href="http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20..."&gt;http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20...&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Many of the comments you made are very true and brings to light our continued desire to be accepted by someone that continues to close the door in our face. I have lived and worked in many different countries (retired military) and find that acceptance is only a problem here in the good old USA, mainly the lower states.&lt;br /&gt;You are correct when you say we need to direct our attention more toward our communities and working on our own internal relationships. We have many great scholars in our organization but it was not until you mentioned the research being conducted only covers dates and times while leaving out the more import events and accomplishments our brothers and sisters. That I realized you are correct, I have many books covering masonry form the Black Square and Compass to the recommended reading that I will list below and they all have very little about who we really are and what our organization really stands for".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don’t wish to take up to much of your time, so I will wish you well and ask that you and your family be safe and enjoy the season.I would like to invite your attention to a new book “Out of the Shadows” The Emergence of Prince Hall Freemasonry in America. Although it has the recognition platform there are some real advancements in the book that you may find interesting.&lt;br /&gt;Stay focused sir and take care"&lt;br /&gt;Mario C. Williams, 33rd&lt;br /&gt;Liaison to Arkansas and Illinois&lt;br /&gt;MWPHGL, Washington and Jurisdiction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Brother Williams: Thank you brother for your kind words and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read the article titled: “LET THERE BE LIGHT: THERE IS NO BROTHERLY LOVE BETWEEN WHITE MASONS AND BLACK MASONS”. I became a real student of the science of Speculative Masonry, perhaps over fifteen years ago and I have always enjoyed Masonic research. Perhaps a few years back, I had attended a Grand Lodge Session held in Winston Salem, North Carolina, which was presided over by our Grand Master Milton 'Toby' Fitch and the white Grand Master of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (AF&amp;AM) of North Carolina was present at that particular Grand Session. Thus, I witness our Masonic organization Prince Hall officially recognized the white AF&amp;AM order as brothers of Prince Hall Masons on that particular day". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There was a thunderous applauds and I was sitting way in the back of the venue where I was making mental notes as this demonstration of brotherly love was taking place. I had witness the white Masons of North Carolina each year vote down the plank to officially recognize Prince Hall Masonry as a "regular" body of Masons. Their negative vote year after year did not bother me, but their hypocrisy as Masons was bit disturbing to me. The principles of Brotherly Love, Friendship and Morality stoodout and I thought their behavior to be a contradiction to the tenets of Freemasonry. So, I decided to become proactive by writing the article, "There is no Brotherly Love Between Black Masons and White Masons" as piece to socially agitate both the white and black Masonic bodies and rattle the status quo". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I initially sent the article to the white Grand Master of North Carolina and to our Prince Hall Masonic Grand Master of North Carolina. I wanted both of them to know that these racist motivated decisions were not rooted in the true principles of Masonry. My brother, I am of the belief that my article factored into the white AF&amp;AM granting PHA official recognition after 200 plus years; it exposed this Masonic divide that was being driven by historical racism. But I am a proponent of us keeping our Masonic sovereignty. Thank you again good brother for your well thought out words and I remain humble".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Joseph Ferguson &lt;/strong&gt;(AF&amp;AM): "Great article, as usual right on point. The funniest thing is that all of us had the same question. We all were looking for more knowledge in Masonry. I read an article from a lodge in New York that posed an interesting question. Why is it that in the Black community we can't even agree on who is the legitimate Masonic source. Just something to think about".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Thank you good brother as always and the question you raised is a very good question and it is one that I think various Masonic lettered organizations need to meet on and draw up some respectful and suitable guidelines. But I do not think Prince Hall Masonry should present itself as the sole sovereign body in which to make this determination relative to other non-Prince Hall Masonic bodies being considered "regular".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. John Gomez:&lt;/strong&gt; "As Salaam Alaikum, Knowledge–Knowledge (throw back) my brother, Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather, hope all gets better soon. I appreciate you getting back to me and I look forward to hearing from you in response to my question. I spent the good part of this weekend just going over your blog. I started back from 2007 till the present and, I must say it took me back to yester year when one was so proud to wear that universal flag and spit mathematics all day. We will have much to share I am certain of that. I was reading through and came across a comment how ”AF&amp;AM do more studying than F&amp;AM PHA” I may share that sentiment to a point. See this whole time I thought it was just the Floridian Mentality that bred some lazy brothers. Because some of these brothers are satisfied with just calling themselves a Freemason, without doing any of the work. That mentality was not good enough on the hot sands during the building of the pyramid, it wasn’t good enough in NGE and it should not be good enough now. As I mentioned before I am originally from The Bronx, NY and as a young 5% it was in bedded in us that we must study. Do not take anything on face value. You must show and prove. That is something that to this day is a huge part of my character. I began a school of instruction at my Lodge and I am also head of the Study class for all new brothers. So I am sure that we will continue to share with each other for time to come". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully&lt;br /&gt;Brother Treasurer John Gomez&lt;br /&gt;Eugene C Johnson #318 PHA&lt;br /&gt;Carl Finnerson #168 HRAM&lt;br /&gt;Gibson Consistory #185&lt;br /&gt;Osiris Temple #67&lt;br /&gt;He died so that we may Live &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro.

However true that may be, I would like to think that maybe it was just meant for me to find. A true blessing in disguise.  I have bounced around from one article to the next from the beginning of 2007 to just recent. I am truly impressed by your wisdom and insight. I look forward to reading more and more. Is there a way that I can get automatic updates of your blog (how do I subscribe?)" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I do have one question but before I ask let me shed some light on me. Originally from NY where as a young man (14) I began studying the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad via Clarence 13X and the 5 Percent Nation. Now 45 living in the Desert of Florida as a 32nd Degree Mason and the Oriental Guide of Osiris Temple #67 PHA. I see that you are about keeping it real. I can certainly appreciate that. Please keep up the great work. While reading one of your blogs I saw that you touched on a subject but did not provide much if any details, So my question is Why do we open the Shrine Temple on the First Book of Job and on the 38th Chapter of the Koran?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Bro. Gomez; The Ancient Arabic Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (some called it the “play house” and others called it the “fun house” of Masonry). Although, the Prince Hall branch of the Shriners had its inception in 1893 (founded by Rofelt Pasha), and his counterpart the white Shriners founded their social Shriner fraternal club (quasi Masonic) perhaps in New York in approximately 1870s. Thus, Prince Hall Shriners modeled their philosophy somewhat after the white Shriners and followed the Speculative Masonic models setup by the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; who I believe initially had been truly touched by the religion of Islam relative to its theological doctrines and its unique history relative to Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Kaaba, Qur’an, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, etc. The Islamic history and culture were empowering to those early enlightened Caucasians (Moslem Sons) and it possessed enough mystic thought and symbolism to awakening their curiosity and intrigued the Western world to embrace this faith in a secular manner (Shrine—the practice of secret Islam)". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; (continued) "However, they realized early on that Islam does not tolerate a “Play House” concept—drinking, partying, committing adultery and all the negative social aspects associated with the Shrine (this conduct would be considered anti-Islamic conduct and behavior). So these initial white Shriners were challenged by Muslims from their inception as being a heretic and a blasphemous organization. The Shrine then tried to cover itself by claiming to be a fraternal brotherhood (which was steeped in charitable and philanthropy causes) and attempted to make a clear distinction and delineation between the Islamic religion (claiming that their practices and views, were never meant to associate them with Muslims and Islam and formalized religion)—Yet, the Shriners philosophical themes were/are deeply rooted in the history and theology of Islam (this is where the problem lies) and its has been difficult for them to escape these subtle associations. In various parts of the Shrine ritual, it mocks Islam and some of this no doubt would be considered anti-Islam (Muslims view the entire Holy Qur’an as a sacred text and this is not to be played with)". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The majority of the Shrine brothers lacks the knowledge of self and kind and do not know how offensive some of the Shrine concepts are to Islam (their only argument is to hide behind the concept of fraternal organization versus religious). Thus, to Muslims this is not good enough. Now, I am not an authority on Shrine Masonry nor am I an authority on the religion of Islam, but to understand the Biblical Prophet Job is to best understand the essential principles of Islam (the revelations of both Bible and Qur’an were continuum sources of enlightenment designed to elevate humanity). Islam ultimately translate to mean submission (surrendering your will to do the will of Allah—God). No, one better typified this principle than the Prophet Job according to the scriptures (Bible and Qur’an) Job lost everything, but he never lost his faith in God and stayed committed despite of all his personal trials and tribulations". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was truly a servant of God and from the religion of Islam perspective, he would be considered a righteous Muslim. I think both of the widely respected and accepted versions of the Qur’an—English translations of the Qur’an authorized by the scholars Maulana Muhammad Ali and Yusuf Ali admonishes Prophet Job’s un-daunting will in their commentary as a righteous servant of God. These are just of few of my thoughts and they are not etched in stone. Some of these thoughts, I have covered in my many posted articles and blog writings. Let me know how your reading is coming along with the over 110 articles that I have published on my site. I know we will be having further dialog based on the various paths that you have experienced in New York".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Vince Jackson:&lt;/strong&gt; "Greetings Bro. Fahim. Thought you might find this interesting. The reason I'm sending this is because of the similarities to Dr. York's case. Notice how they smeared Eddie Long's name with the child molestation to get people's emotions where they want them. Then they will come in with what the whole thing was all about in the first place, money. They said Dr. York was guilty of RICO, "MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY,.....MONEY." Now, look at Bishop Long, he is guilty of mortgage fraud. See that crap? Money, money, money, money! And one last thing, since when did the U.S. Secret Service start investigating church preachers. I thought that was the F.B.I. Doesn't the Secret Service have TERRORISTS THEY NEED TO BE TRYING TO CATCH, LIKE THE ONES IN CAMP DAVID, excuse me, I meant Afghanistan? I appreciate you taking time to look over the mail I sent you a little while ago. Your insight gave me more angles to look at this whole thing. I will send you some more stuff I think you will be interested in when I come across it. Peace and blessings".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Bro. Jackson, thank you for your response and reply. I will review the link relative to Bishop Eddie Long. Perhaps what you are saying, which are some very good points; I think the case of Yahweh Ben Yahweh back in 1990s (arrested on November 7, 1990 along with his entourage as he plane landed in New Orleans, Louisiana) exemplified the U.S. Government willingness to use the long arm of the RICO statures to fish net in black leaders, in particular and any other personalities who are preaching anything contrary to the status quo. He was one of the unofficial victims of the Patriot Act even before the laws and legislation were enacted". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So, Yahweh Ben-Yahweh was arrested, perhaps in the early 1990s, but he became the litmus test to how these new legal strategic prosecutions would take place in high profile cases of such. Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno was one of Florida's top Federal Prosecutors and she was behind the conviction of Ben-Yahweh and her reward for his conviction was being promoted by former President Bill Clinton to the becoming U.S. Attorney General (this was the blue print that was in place when they brought Dr. Malachi Z. York-El into the U.S. Courts)". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thus, many high profile Christians have always believed that they were safe because their theological approach did not appear contradictory to the status quo when it came to radicalization and militancy (but the Yahweh, Elijah Muhammad, Marcus Garvey, Louis Farrakhan, Huey P. Newton, Jamil Abdullah AL-Amin, Malcolm X, etc.) type leaders and their views have always posed a threat to this system since our sojourn to the Americas in 1555 as Chattels slaves)".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dr. York-El became a victim of Cointelpro, thus, these surveillance and government counter-intelligence programs have been on-going since the 1950s (unknowing to most Americans). They (FBI and other Federal agencies) had been watching Dr. York-El for a very long time. They systematically sent agent provocateurs and stool pigeons around him and he allowed them to penetrate his inner circle and these agents who were on the United States Government payroll were steadily compiling dossiers on Dr. York-El, which would later be used in a court of law against him". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dr. York-El knew and understood his nature (the enemies of the original man) and from that perspective was aware of their capabilities unlike most blind, deaf, and dumb Christians pastors, but he became entrapped by the schemes of the devil and their plot was once they got him their objective, was to never allow him to walk out of the U.S. Courts because his message was dangerous to the entire system of white supremacy. The money issue is always front and center, in particular if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cannot totally account for the amount of money that is being taking in, but must rely on an organization or leader to give them figures and tax documents relative to his personal and the organizational net worth this alone has always posed problems for the United States Government (especially if the leader or organization was black)". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now! Bishop Eddie Long perhaps has a legal status of being a 501-C-3R tax exempt organization pursuant to the IRS tax code. This alone gives the government total control over his money and donations and most "Negro" preachers do not know or understand the nature of the devil and Bishop Long could not phantom that he would be a target of a U.S. Government conspiracy, after all he was a so-called good Christian. Welcome to America buddy".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Vincent Jackson:&lt;/strong&gt; "Greetings Bro. {Knight} I was on-line searching for different Shrine Temples to send this e-mail to. I think I was on a David Icke site and saw you and I think it was two different brothers debating about masonry. I must say that I was quite impressed at how well read you have dedicated yourself to have become. As I said earlier, I was looking for as many brothers' and nobles' e-mails as possible to send this out to. Reason being, I am tired and from the energy I saw spent in those two debates you were in, I'm sure you are tired as well of just that, debating. So, with that in mind, I would like for you to read this mail and tell me what your thoughts are. As I said, I have no interest what so ever in trying to see who knows the most or going back and forth over who is 'legit-clandestine' and who is not, for as I clearly point out in this mail, as you will see, all of us Negroid freemasons are 'legit.' Normally, I ask brothers to read with an opened mind and let me know what they think. After reading your debates, I know I don't have to say that to you, because there is no way you can be that well versed and not be. Peace Bro."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Brother: Thank you very much for sending this email to me, but I think you already know that I had knowledge of Dr. Malachi Z. York-El's wealth of Masonic knowledge and I respect aspects of that which we agree on and there is much that I discard in which we disagree on. Dr. Malachi Z. York-El lingers in Federal Prison because with all his high ranking Masonic status and degrees; we all are still considered "Niggers" and captives and most of those who operate in the U.S. Jurisprudence and Judicial systems are high degree Freemasons and have swore to oaths and obligations to come to the relief of a distress brother". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yet, these white judges, prosecutors, lawyers, etc., overlooked their obligation to a fellow brother who said "is there no help for the poor widow's son?" The system of white supremacy has more binding right and authority amongst a people who were created to be diametrically opposed to the original man than various Masonic oaths at least within the United States of America". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It has been just recently after almost 200 years that white Masons or let me say the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) recently recognized Prince Hall as a so-called legitimate body of Masons (for whatever this decision was worth, but in a system rooted in a pigmentocracy this was a high stakes decision). This recognition not only so-called legitimatized Prince Hall Freemasonry, but it legitimized the entire black Masonic Family (meaning even non-Prince Hall Masons) and prior to this decision all black Masons were considered to be 'clandestine' and 'irregular' this is rooted in paradigm of white supremacy". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So, Dr. Malachi Z. York-El prior to his so-called and alleged conviction and incarceration was not considered to be a recognized Mason based on the question of legitimacy as ascribed by the powerful white Masonic Order. Thus, it is interpreted to mean they had no obligation to a 'clandestine' so-called American Negro Mason and this is part of the logic and reasoning behind Grand Master and High Potentate York-El is sitting behind bars. Yet, he can give the Grand Hail Sign—and give the various words, signs and tokens, the same ones that the founding father George Washington gave, as well as countless other Elite and influential white Masonic statesmen, but it was worthless if we are viewed as fake imitators and had no legal right to be viewed as brother Masons to white Masons".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Dr. York-El posed a threat because he was using this so-called 'secret teachings' to free and empower a people who had lost their names, their God, language, religion, culture, folkways, mores, etc. He knew that the original man was Hiram Abiff and it was he who was hit in the head and had the knowledge taking from him, but what they feared most about a Mason like Dr. York-El was his ability to deconstruct and dismantle the very essences of European Masonry in which they have ruled over humanity for over 6,000 years with just 33rd degrees of knowledge. Ok brother that is my response to the question and statement that you posed".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bro. Hassan Tremble:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace &amp; Blessings my dear Brother, I am reaching out to you again because quite frankly when it comes Afrikans/Moors here in America that are Masons to me you always bring it home. I am a brother of the craft going on thirteen years now. I started off as a four letter but became PHA back in March of 2007, I’m glad I did I love it. Before becoming a Mason I was the biggest anti-mason primarily because of my dealings with individuals who I knew of or thought to be a Mason. It wasn’t until 1995 that I began my transition into the Afrikan conscious thought of mind. While on my journey I began to learn many things some of which changed my perception of Masonry. Forwarding ahead a few years I got with some old high school friends of mine, asked for a petition and the rest is history, I was entered, passed and raised to the Sublime Degree. As I progressed in my Afrikan Consciousness and spirituality I begin see Masonry in a whole new light but those around me are still caught up in the European Masonry façade. Besides for myself since I have been traveling there is only one other brother in my original circle that have moved outside of the European Masonic school of thought and this brother is my best friend and was the best man in my wedding. This brother is the one that gave me some direction which started me on my transition, he is currently inactive at this time. Currently I am the WM of my lodge Immanuel #153 in the MWPHGL of Illinois jurisdiction. I have also journeyed through all the other houses except for the 33rd. I haven’t did anything with them on the PHA although I have been asked several times but at this point I really don’t see any reason to".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I apologize for being lengthy I just wanted to give you a backdrop of my history. I have a brother of mine in another organization that I am also involved with called The Afrikan Village Culture Center. He lives in Milwaukee, WI and I live in Chicago, IL we talk all of the time but he has a big issue with Masonry. Sometimes I wonder if really studies like he says he does, when it comes to the Ancient Kemetic Mystery System there is no denying that the Europeans stole co-opted all our ancestors knowledge and information. His argument is that no Afrikan American/Black person should be involved in any Masonic organization. Which brings me to why I am asking for your assistance. He will not tell me why but I have a feeling it has something to do with his past experiences with other people who perhaps are Masons".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Brother Hassan Tremble: Thank you as always for staying in contact with me and I dearly appreciate Prince Hall brothers who have accepted our history, culture and tradition (not many of us think this way); thus, as you know based on my Blog writings (research) this is both a passion and mission for me, which I have always felt there was a void and we as Prince Hall Masons had become stagnate because our Speculative Masonic philosophy was rooted in Eurocentrism and the white Masonic paradigm, as opposed to us weighing in on black Masonic ideals (this was to far and in between and it has been devastating to how Black Freemasons are viewed. Where are our Masonic scholars and researchers?". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thus, before I was raised, I had acquired the knowledge of self, which unlike most brother’s path to coming into the craft (I knew my history and culture). I had a huge Afrocentric library prior to my Masonic travels and my knowledge had exceeded what they were giving up in the lodge (so initially I covertly dumb down what I knew in order to not rattle the cage)". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I stated this over and over again, that I did not come into to Masonry to be drinking liquor, chasing women and partying (the social aspect wasn’t my attraction to Masonry). I came to Masonry because I was inquisitive about the mysteries, wisdom, knowledge, philosophy, etc (this is what initially attracted me to Freemasonry). This much to me has been very disappointing and unfulfilling and my Blogs are designed to raise and heighten the consciousness of those who are truly seeking knowledge, as well as to serve notice to white Masons that we do have something to offer to the Masonic school thought". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My brother, I appreciate the background information, it is always helpful to know and understand where a brother may be coming from. Yes, I agree with the brother and friend in Detroit who appears to be deeply involved in the Kemetic Science and what he is saying is true. The best view on this was given by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in his little small pamphlet titled, “The Secrets of Freemasonry” I do not know if you have read my piece titled, “Freemasonry and Islam: What do they Share” if not here is the link to that article http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20... and I kind of get into what Muhammad said about Masonry, the original man and if Masonry was suited more for the Caucasian race more so than for the original Black man".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bro. Timothy-Bey: "Bro. Islam Fahim Bey! Good post as it relates to facebook &amp; these other internet social networks. I have a question that maybe you can expound on for me! I have seen that the majority of Moors that's also Masons are affiliated with Prince Hall moor than any other jurisdiction of Freemasonry, in your opinion why do you think this is?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Thank you brother for this good question. Let say this right off the back and it is not to slight any other Masonic Orders or Brothers who are non-Prince Hall Masons who are part of this Cushite Forum. I have never allowed these artificial Masonic barriers of who is deemed "regular" or irregular" relative to Freemasonry enter into my thinking, which in my opinion is designed to create disunity within the overall ranks of the Freemasonic Brotherhood. But I have had some passionate debates with non-Prince Hall Masons as it pertains to the question of legitimacy; thus, let it be known that Prince Hall Masons should not act as an authority on which Masonic Order is "clandestine" and which lodges should be accepted as "regular' Freemasonry. Thus, if you are referring to the term Moor as a Nationality (meaning Moorish American) and having affiliations with the Moorish Science Temple of America, I would not say that Moors belonging to MSTA are more affiliated with Prince Hall Masonry. Yet, I have met a sizable number of brothers who entered Freemasonry prior to their coming into the knowledge of self and joined MSTA after their Masonic initiation in which they did not feel the necessity to relinquish their Masonic membership because the Moorish worldview is not in contradictory to origin of the Masonic worldview. Moreover, there is an interdependency and correlation relative to both claiming aspects of the Ancient knowledge". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are some small cells in Prince Hall Masonry who know and accept that we are the original people of the planet and make every attempt to practice African Centered principles relative to embracing the knowledge. Now, if you are using the term Moor in its most broadest context as it relates to defining the African American (non-affiliation with MSTA); it is my opinion, that in most cities and towns Prince Hall Masonry is visible and for better or worst, it has always carried a high reputation in the so-called African American community (in particular amongst petiti-Bourgeoisie Blacks) and Black people looked at PHA as having a brand name (it attracted the social mobile class such as judges, lawyers, police officers, bankers, school teachers, politicians, etc., any many non-social mobile blacks joined because of allege influence and power these brothers had (traditionally speaking). But take for example, depending on what city or community you may live in which the visibility of Ancient Free and Accepted Masonic lodges (AF&amp;AM) or International Free and Accepted Lodges just lacked appeal in certain geographical regions of the country. There were very few visible Moorish Freemasonic Rites lodges and by Prince Hall Masons being the largest black Masonic organization in America, it has reaped the membership benefits".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nanya Asumu El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace. I had read one of your articles about the free and accepted masons and your views on Dr. York. Very interesting and i wanted to know if you had any historical information on Noble Drew Ali. For there is a lot of confusion concerning his history, his Masonic affiliations, etc... I was trying to conduct a research on him and the early M.S.T.A Have found no records of the Cannanite temple or anything prior to 25 or 27.

My point I was not being disrespectful by ignoring your message, I just do not know why it was shot to my SPAM mail. Here is my recommendation relative to your research, I am part of the Ancient Kushite Site in which a lot of Moors, Masons, Muslims, Hebrews, Kemetic Science, etc., are a part and knowledge is being dispersed on a high level. There is a heavy Moor representation that is part of the site and a lot of positive building takes place. There is one brother whom I respect dearly his name is Brother Sheik Robert Stone-El who is part of the site and is a very knowledgeable Moor.

Question: Is your lodge Prince Hall Affiliated?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entered Apprentice:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace to you brother Fahim; thanks for responding so promptly...did a split shift so late when got in...no not initiated yet but accepted and Thursday coming initiation to be conducted...never intended to spill anything online just read so many your different blogs...(not to mention all those other characters/fakes/haters)...i chose you to reach out to for specific reason...my main concern and thank you again is source material that is trustworthy...recall i wanted 3 book titles that you would trust...there are multiple dozens online...umpteen sites...just needed a little steering before commitment..are you allowed to recommend books...heading back to work...hope to have a response after 6pm".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace good Brother; thank you again for reaching out to; I respect you for that. However, as a newly candidate, we shouldn't confuse the potential candidate with bias or un-bias information. Thus, Freemasonry is best understood via the dramatization of the ritual and trust me no book is going to prepare you for the experience that will take place that night. I know you are a wise and perceptive brother and you already have access to hundreds of books and sources that I cited throughout my articles posted on my Keeping it Real Blog site relative to Freemasonry. So this much I already know. Yet, I would like to see you Entered, Initiated, Passed and Raised before I recommend a few good books (you would appreciate them more and make the immediate connection with your experience). You are going to have plenty of information that is going to require you to commit to memorization and you are not going to have time for nothing else as you go through this process. Freemasonry is an intense study process. Ok brother those are my thoughts and as stated in my first response I remain open and look toward further dialog".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entered Apprentice:&lt;/strong&gt; "Greetings and Peace bro. Fahim...you may recall a previous text or 2 ago concerning my initiation this past Thursday...it was all U said it would be and more...if you recall I mentioned my Dad was a mason who passed in '91 and i mentioned to a brother after the ceremony that i'd be looking among Dad's belongings for several books of his which my Mom kept till her passing in '09....they were adamantly against this...yet I was only given a pamphlet/printout /illustration...as an only son I'm gonna retrieve them...or no...thanks and did you get 2 previous texts...1 earlier today and another 3 days ago...I'm reading Poor Blind Candidate for a 2nd time...Shalom Good Brother".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Congratulations on your initiation (Entered) in which you were symbolic brought from darkness to LIGHT and remember each brother and fellow were brought this same way before you and I. The First Degree (Entered Apprentice) is perhaps in my opinion on of the most important degrees (and definitely one of the most beautiful degrees) that can be bestowed on the candidate. You were divest of all Metallic substance (there is so much in this symbolic process and you will come to know why I am placing emphasis in this area). My condolence to you relative to your dad a MASON and BROTHER he has been rewarded to travel to that undiscovered place that No Traveler Return. No, I did not receive any emails from you last week; if you would like to; you can re-forwarded them to me. Yes, my article the "Poor Blind Candidate" is a very good one for newly initiated Masonic candidates".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entered Apprentice:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace be unto you my Brother; thanks for the congrats and encouragement...how and where do i uncover the symbolic meaning of being" divested of all metallic substances"? You recall last E-mail i mentioned my Dad's books...well i found them-Duncans Ritual of Freemasonry and Look to the East(ritual of the 1st 3 degrees)...Years ago I heard a Police Constable(you know how they hang out at certain corner stores)say that his Captain was his sheepmaster but it didn't mean anything then...Thursday night it was mentioned in a circle of brethren...are you able to provide any insight".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace good brother being divested of ALL METALLIC SUBSTANCE is deeply rooted in Masonic principle, but after you were stripped of all metals; someone covered this request during your transition from darkness to Light; thus, as you travel in life and meet the destitute (your Masonic brothers and humanity) you will recall what and why these lessons were imparted to you; that is all I will say about that. But as you take the next two steps after demonstrating Masonic proficiency all of this will eventually connect itself. I fail to mention in the earlier correspondence that as the only SON of your decease father you are definitely entitled to his jewels, books, aprons, etc. (we often advise a widow to only turn this over once the SON has reached the level of Master Mason). Now! We do not accept Duncan Ritual or Lester Looking to the East as legitimate Masonic monitors in that these books can be purchased over the counter. We are only instructed in the ECCE (Ecce Orienti: Rites and Ceremonies) which is written in code and taught in code".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sister Salome Solomon:&lt;/strong&gt; "Dear Mr. Knight,I want to say thanks for your writings on TDG. I came across it while doing a search.&lt;br /&gt;The other day, I was telling myself for the umteenth time "No more books? I must stop buying all these books, where does it all lead, its just some never ending path! And what's the point when I have no teacher?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Then I've also, been curiously wondering why I have this desire for Islam that I though had vanished from my mind but has mysteriously reemerged in my consciousness. It's like something keep telling me that that is a path I must undertake--but I don't know what for or even how. Do I just walk into a Masjid one day?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I tend to imagine that my personality, and my universal outlook on religion, spirituality would not allow me to fit into an Islamic community or Masjid. Yet, something in me wants to experience Islam but I do not know where to begin. I've had a Koran for many years, I sometimes read it".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I had a friend/teacher once. We were together only a few years. He was actually a metaphysician/healer (turned out that he was also a Freemason -past, past, past, past Master he once told me, and although he was an ordained minister he never started a church, he did not even go to church and he was Muslim) that last part puzzled me a little back then because his business where he practice healing/occult arts in Neark, NJ was called House of Osiris and Isis. I used to wonder how it all came together--how me made it all one". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As I'm writing to you now, I'm beginning to see that maybe I should not be frustrated or confused by the ecclectic collection of spiritual books that I started collecting since I was a teenager, starting with the Bhagavda Gita. It gets very frustrating not having a teacher. Reverend EL also shared with me something you shared in your blog--that when the student is ready....He told me that I don't need to travel to far off lands or have a guru to attain wisdom. He told me briefly of how he had a guru once--and years later I realized he was giving me a lesson for my future". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There have been times when the Master has appeared to me usually heard but not seen (seen only once) and I realize that teachers come into our lives in corporeal forms as well or in any form that nature manifest whether a bum an infant an animal or the ocean, I have gotten wisdom in a split second by witnessing such as these BUT I feel that I need a teacher, like Reverend EL was to me--someone to ask questions or to guide me to knowledge. I have so many books". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like you, I have had many books that I could not read for many years-if I tried I could not comprehend them, and then one day I'd be led to pick up that book and begin reading and studying natural as ever. I know I'm guided, but I feel isolated like a hermit much of my life because its just me and my books-- frankly, think of them [books] as my friends/family--I wouldn't want to live without the wisdom they impart".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I guess I'm writing to acknowledge you as a kindred spirit, I guess. And also to acknowledge you for taking the time to put the information, knowledge, wisdom on the web as you have. I've printed Freemasonry and Islam: What do they share? and a couple others that you wrote so that I can go back and read at my leasure. But, you made me realize today my desire to discover Islam is not a step off my path, its acually the next step and the Master/Teacher hasn't literally appeared to tell me to take that step but has been speaking it to me for a few years now. The universe has not forsaken me, rather, it is my own ignorance that has been stopping me. Maybe the teacher is somewhere I need to go to meet him/her. You have been my teacher this morning, the universe has used you to assist me in my search. I thank God and I thank you for being a useful servant in His kingdom. Sincerely, Salome Solomon"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Peace Sister Solomon: I first, would to like once again thank you for contacting me and reading my articles on the TDG Internet forum. I have traveled many paths and still remain open to other paths that the creator may lead me toward in the future. I must say, each path, was a necessary step in my spiritual development; it was the lessons and experiences gathered, which became the ultimate benefit for me. The first lesson that was imparted, it took me over twenty years to grasp and come to the realization of the interconnectedness of the divine principles of truth. We often search outside ourselves looking for answers—these longings often lead us to organized religion and we began to embrace external concepts while our deep spiritual inner self suffers and our development does not reach its full potential. Our lives become cycles of incomplete energy and there is always a yearning to make ourselves whole". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think Islam like the other two Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism and Christianity) Traditions could be beautiful experiences for those who seek these formalized paths. My sister you should pursue that Islamic yearning, but based on how you describe where you are in space and time; its not difficult for me to be honest and say that organized religion will be to confining to person that has reached the spiritual development of where you are". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You already know and probably have anticipated what your Islamic experience is going to be because you are Free Thinker. When you have studied eastern based philosophy and thought—there is a certain spiritual freedom that comes with this paradigm and it is difficult to overlook the internal spiritual beauty that embodies a non-confining set of ideals. Western religion and thought binds and put us in mental constraints and I think you have had enough experience with the Metaphysics to know that we as a macrocosm body (entity) is linked to the microcosm—small heavenly bodies". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our quest should be to find and embrace all divine laws and universal truths—and let this be our source and guide, and negate artificial schools of thought. Yes, indeed if Islam is calling you, why not answer the calling? But the most spiritual of all the Islamic faiths is Sufi Islam. It just requires you finding a Mosque or Masjid and walking in and at least answer that inner voice that is leading you toward this path (perhaps there is a lesson that the Divine desire to impart to you". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I must admit traveling certain spiritual paths can be a lonely journey and often isolation is one of those human variables at time that is difficult to grasp because we seem to think, perhaps it is us and not willing to accept the consequence that it could be them (stay on your path). The Creator leads and guides who he/she pleases and there is no mistake of what you are doing right now and maybe you are ducking your life purpose". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are vessel that can be used to bring humanity to a certain spiritual understanding; I hear a liberated soul; do not let all that positive energy go to waste—those books (knowledge) came to you for a higher purpose, but you need to implement that wisdom to better yourself and everything around you. You are Sage and Guru; my sister you do not need a teacher, you are the teacher. Thus, your words are words that reveal that the Master has already spoken to you. You have a mighty and divine assignment (but it is really simple--TEACHER, TEACHER TEACHER). Now, please accept this assignment honorably and go out an enlighten humanity".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ancient Sky Man:&lt;/strong&gt; "Fahim,I enjoyed your post. The Ancient Egyptians ascribe their civilization to something . . do you know what and who? Also, what's the Egyptian name for Hermes (as Hermes Trismegarus is Greek)/ All a matter of degrees".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fahim A. Knight-El:&lt;/strong&gt; "Thank you Ancient Skyman; Hermes Trismegarus had many attributes, thus he is best personified as Thoth and also known in the Hebrew (Jewish) legends as Enoch. He is also allegorically explained in the personification of Mercury. Those of us who study Kemetic studies know him best under the name of Tuti. The name Hermes according to scholars like Dr. Manly P. Hall gives the etymological root of the word (name) Hermes deriving from "Herm" a form of CHiram and you could see why and how this fits into the Masonic worldview. Now, the first part of your question I do not totally understand or may be I do know how to answer it. So I will allow others to weigh in on this discussion as well".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I reflect on the prior year of 2010, and as we embark upon the New Year 2011, it is difficult for me, to welcome the in coming so-called New Year with optimism and joy (I predict more of the same). Our nation is unjustly engaged in two unpopular wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq in which these conflicts have emotionally and economically drained the American people (who are really behind driving these wars?). Our nation, which was once politically and economically strong and prosperous, now has become weak and a shamelessly debtor nation of the world amongst the other G-7 nations. Thus, a very unfamiliar global status for one of the premier "First World" governments and superpowers of the 20th century and of all times, which was once the number one creditor nation in the world and in less than twenty-five years this reality has dissipated. The crashing of the financial markets in 2008 exposed our vulnerability as a nation. Greed has led to an unhealthy imbalance on the planet and it has interfered and disrupted the imbedded spiritual laws that govern cause and effect (we have entered into a “Karmic Cycle”). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sir Isaac Newton popularized this principle: “To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions”. What great truths. However, we know that the ancient Nubians of Kemet (Egypt) had mastered these universal principles long before Newton received the credit for this theory—here is my point, the United States has reaped havoc throughout the planet and the forces and energy that governs the universe have turned on man and the planet (man has created this imbalance and it will prove to be devastating for present and future generations to come) is letting us know in its own way that something is terribly wrong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The social scientist and psychologist need to psycho-analyze its own public policy and establish profiles of how these variables impact and effect human behavior, as opposed to constantly looking to understand the mental state of those who commit what appears to be indiscriminate acts of violence against humanity. Perhaps, it’s the culture that is deranged and has become the driving force behind the violence that permeates America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer does not look toward religion for an explanation in matters like these unlike most people who are in search of proof and evidence often turn for answers in religion. This writer does not believe that religion can give us a honest assessment or provide us with practical solutions, in which he recognized along time ago that religion was perhaps the biggest con ever to be played on humanity (it covertly works hand-in-hand with the government). Religion is designed to keep people asleep and obedient and under control and subservient to the status quo. People in America, in particular and globe in general, are presently hurting and are yearning for answers beyond their ability to rationalize their existence and purpose as human beings on earth, which has caused them to negate spirituality in their pursuit and quest to define the meaning of this thing we call life. Religion bait (sucker) them in like a vacuum and then seeks to further influence their fears by manipulating their thinking and money at the expense of their position of uncertain vulnerability and search for answers (hustle and deception is often their modus operandi). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pope of Roman (the Catholic Church, perhaps one of the wealthiest institutions in world—the Vatican, a city within a city) he is a masterful liar and deceiver (he prays and worship to a black Madonna and Child)—translate to mean he worships a black Mary and Black baby Jesus and come right out as though he does not have an inkling that the present Robber Barons who occupy Palestine are not the original inhabitants. He also knows that Christianity was set-up (or better yet distorted) at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. by Constantine and the version these deceivers agreed upon did not resemble the original Ethiopian (Coptic) Text, which the Coptics had thousands of years before the Europeans came in contact with the original source (they were practicing Christianity long before Christ). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pope also knows unless he commissions a true revision of the scriptures relative to theologically imposing addendums and appendages to include the so-called lost books of the Bible—humanity will remain at lost. Nevertheless, failure to do this will continue to perpetuate a theological dichotomy of lies and half-truths. People can no longer find comfort in religion and it’s quickly losing its appeal because the contradictions are so obvious. How in the hell can you tell me to pray and preach moral excellence and our religious leaders supports the murdering of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan (the clerics and politicians have the same agenda because they have the same master). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama as our U.S. Commander-in-chief is over one of the most vicious killing machines in the world and he has plenty of blood on his hands. No. I do not want to pray with these damnable hypocrites. President Barack Obama is a liar—he promised the American people that his foreign policy would be different than President George W. Bush, but I guest APIAC has this Negro in a chokehold and he has betrayed every campaign promise that he made to the American people relative to ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They even control the flow of war images and propaganda (electronic and print) that are to be shown to the American people (we are systematically spoon fed our perspectives in order to shape and mold public opinion in their image and likeness—our thoughts aren't really our thoughts). The unmerciful killings of innocent and defenseless men, women and children that are being murdered by United States arm forces in Iraq and Afghanistan is scandalous and criminal, if the truth was revealed, it would create such a public outcry (these war atrocities are enough to make a brass monkey cry). The daily violation of Islamic culture, law and society—the raping of its women and children and ravaging and pillaging of these two Muslim societies are two of the worst criminal acts in the twenty-first century. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They filter and sanitize the news reporting to create and depict a storyline, which comforts our psychological vision (which fosters individual and societal detachment from reality) of these massive acts of violence that are enormous in nature and yet the media systematically turn them into insignificant diminutive storylines (in order to shield their crimes and control any potential public resistance). They learned this strategy and tactic from the Vietnam War where they use to show the images of thousands of U.S. soldiers who were killed by the defenseless people of Vietnam (they learned that these images were demoralizing and it effected the ultimate propaganda objective and since the Vietnam conflict, war is dealt with as a sophisticated public relations ploy) but the Vietnamese were able to challenge the U.S. military forces based on their skilled fighting techniques in guerilla warfare. The media at that time in history would televise dead U.S. soldiers returning to Dover Air Force Base (Dover, Delaware) in body bags and it was these type television images (that led to sensitizing Americans about the human tragedies associated with war) public that gave fuel to the anti-war movement of the 1960s and 1970s (damage control is high priority in the art of war in 2011). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States Government—CIA, U.S. State Department and the office of Homeland Security are very selective of images that are released from war torn areas (hot zones) for public consumption (they must first receive clearance from the Department of Defense). Our sensibility and our natural human instinct would reject seeing Arab children (or any children) murdered and slaughtered as innocent civilians in this so-called Global War on Terrorism, which is nothing, but a sophisticated lie to continue stealing oil in the Ramallah Oil fields and propping up a reactionary puppet government in Iraq that is surely to collapse, the minute the U.S. Forces retreat to the next foreign country to steal another nations natural resources. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The so-called Global War on Terrorism viewed from the 21st century contextual lens allows for a justification to impose "neo-neo-colonialism" rule on smaller and weaker nations with the same or similar objectives of how the Cold War (Global War on Terrorism looks a lot like the geopolitical world prior to 1989 before the Berlin Wall came tumbling down) and the international politics of old, which was rooted in imperialism and colonialism (NATO versus WARSAW Pact nations). The so-called war on terrorism also allows for nations sovereignty to be compromised while a foreign military occupier such as the United States is permitted to operate no different than past colonial masters (No United Nations intervention is forthcoming based on how the international terrorism laws are structured and formulated). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rockefellers are slowly raising oil prices—just reason with me for a moment, Iraq has the second largest oil reserve in the world next to the Zionist controlled and U.S. puppet nation of Saudi Arabia and yet global oil prices are increasing and it's not OPEC to blame, but the Rockefellers decide how the flow of oil will take place relative to supply and demand—they are the beneficiaries of the trillions of petrodollars by manipulating global oil resources. They play all types of games on the American people and the globe. Thanks to the Internet the reporting or certain information is not a total Blackout (or better yet a total whiteout), but the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and all the other enemies of Free Speech are working swiftly to control this medium because they feel it is dangerous for the ignorant masses to have access to un-sanitized information that might wake a few of us from our slumber. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American Government is bankrupt both financially and morally and all of this has taken a toll on the American people (when will the next unannounced shooter or mass murderer pop up and we again yell insanity?). The 2008 economic meltdown and the so-called crashing of the United States and global economy not only devastated the financial markets, but social scientist have not adequately evaluated and assessed the short and long term effects these variables have had on the mental health of society. This has led to an increase in anxiety and fretfulness that our traditional modes of how the American people made a living within a credit based system was being treaded upon. Thus, nothing prepared the American people for this sudden shift and shockwave nor was society prepared to deal with the social and psychological ramifications both short term and long term. The psychology of the nation is vulnerable and people are very uneasy about the state of domestic and global affairs. The American people feel betrayed by the false promises and the default on those promises made by the government and President Barack Obama—he has lied repeatedly to the American people and although, he inherited a decimated government from his fellow Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg comrade George W. Bush. These two global supreme entities are the invisible forces behind all misery. He still must shoulder some blame in this crisis. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a student of psychology nor have I thoroughly studied the concepts of Sigmund Freud and Carl Yung in order to be considered an authority in this area of discipline. But I have always found the human mind fascinating and intriguing, and there still remains so much that we still do not know about all the intricate parts of how the human psyche functions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this takes me right into the Tucson, Arizona massacre or assassination attempt in which six people were killed and thirteen injured this included the killing of a federal judge and the attempt assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. The allege killer Jared L. Loughner like all prior assailants of this type, they are immediately discredited and labeled a lunatic and sociopath by the talking heads and the government—they often further spruce their argument by labeling the assailant as angry, loner and was perhaps inspired by conspiracy theories, as well as assessing the Internet sites they frequent in order to establish a negative pattern to further discredit these type individuals as weird and bizarre (and capable of committing mass murder). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This public disposition immediately brings a false sense of security and artificial comfort to the American people, knowing that the authorities in less than 24 hours of these type incidents have already determined that the shooter Loughner to be so-called mentally deranged. But law enforcement always establishes this type profile (as a discrediting indicator), which to depict any person who seeks to running aloof from the established laws of the land and the norms of society—their behavior and action is never analyzed to determine, if their gripe had any substantial merit and what was it that led Jared L. Loughner and others like him off the so-called deep end? Thus, in raising certain questions and having this conversation, we are in no way condoning the violent act committed by Loughner and we condemn violence in all forms and our deepest sympathy goes out to the victims and the families of this massacre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, these acts of social rebellion become easy to dismiss and written off as being unprovoked acts of violence being committed by nut cases. Yet, this contention allows the government and even society to escape any culpability and not shoulder any blame for the societal anger and the overwhelming discontent that is festering in the United States. The violence that is spewing represents the symptoms of a sin sick nation in which people are launching out at any perceived symbols that represents the power apparatus (the true causes are very seldom explored and the symptoms are always given to over exaggeration). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, remember just last February Joseph Andrew Stack a 53 year old man flew a small plane into the local Austin, Texas Internal Revenue Service (IRS), thus killing himself and wounding two others (it is easy to dismiss this erratic behavior as an insane suicide case); it was reported that after 20 years the IRS had ripped him off and he felt driven to avenge what he perceived to be an unconstitutional shakedown agency. But perhaps Stack and many others have questioned the constitutionality and legitimacy of the powers of the IRS from its inception in 1913. Surely taxation without representation is tyranny and the question of the definition of one's individual labor versus it applicability to be subject to income tax has spewed various radical and militant schools of thought about the legality of the IRS (some have challenged the IRS in U.S. Courts declaring tax immunity and tax amnesty). This writer a few years ago viewed a documentary produced by the late filmmaker, Aaron Russo titled, "American Fascism" in which Russo's film questioned the legality of the establishment of the Federal Reserve and IRS (many do not believe that the 535 members of U.S. Congress represents the legitimate political aspirations of the masses). So they are being taxed without representation because the elected officials represent the interest of the Fortune 500 corporations and not the American people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to ask ourselves whether not the Timothy McVeighs and Terry Nichols (who committed mass murder in the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building) on April 19, 1995 or back on November 5, 2009 Nidal Malik Hasan who shot up the military base at Fort Hood Texas (turned on his fellow soldiers). What are the lessons beyond the propaganda? We have witness violent school incidents like what took place on April 20, 1999 at Columbine High in Littleton, Colorado or what took place at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007 in Blacksburg, Virginia. Perhaps these incidents of violence are mere coincidental carried out by psychologically deranged individuals. Perhaps we should take a moment to assess and evaluate and look to understand the mindset of these individuals and seek to gather a better understanding and not always take the government version at face value—I believe some of these type crimes are more of an indictment on society (these are crimes of social and political disillusionment). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some might recall back on August 21, 1992, in Ruby Ridge, Idaho the incident involving Randy Weaver (a known militia man) where heavily armed U.S. Marshal’s and government officials unjustly killed his son and wife in a shootout on his private land (I do not have time to recap this story just Google search his name and do your own investigation and research). Many believe that the U.S. Government can not escape culpability relative to this present day climate of hate—the hate that hate produced. Also, the government created a similar incident on April 19, 1993 in Waco, Texas with David Koresh (a militia proponent and a Messianic religious leader) who headed an organization named the Branch Davidians; the ATF unjustly killed seventy-six people in a blazing inferno on the compound in which many believe the fire was intentionally set by U.S. Federal agents. (once again Google David Koresh and do your own research). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last, but not least, on May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Black Nationalist organization named MOVE headed by John Africa was bombed to death by Philadelphia police department along with special agents assigned from the federal government (this bombing at that time was un-precedent). This was a horrid crime committed on innocent members of the MOVE organization, which led to the unjustified killings of 11 people—men, women and children and destroyed 65 homes. This reactionary atrocity took place at the helm of Black Mayor named Wilson Goode (once again part of your assignment is to Internet search John Africa and the MOVE organization). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do these crimes truly tells us about our nation and society? America has become a social tender box and is exploding on herself—people feel betrayed by our government (and may be these acts of violence are the new sedition and treason that we should come to expect in the future). Although, as I have stated above, the status quo would prefer for us to view these incidents as mere isolated incidents that are being carried out by mentally deranged individuals (in some cases they are absolutely correct, but in some of the other cases that have I cited above, it is kind of difficult to determine if the police were the mentally deranged ones—Ruby Ridge, Idaho, Waco Texas, Philadelphia and John Africa and the MOVE Organization). We as the public should always demand for nothing short other than the truth and a full and complete investigation in these type matters and not be swayed by the winds of emotions (government rhetoric and propaganda). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, this writer will never dismiss the possibility that perhaps these incidents of violence are being systematically staged (out of Langley, Virginia) and orchestrated by the FBI and CIA in order to induce panic and fear, but the ultimate objective is to shape and mold public opinion and influence public policy. The Jared L. Loughner incident in Tucson, Arizona will no doubt fuel, the debate relative to gun control and during emotional times like this, it is easy for the powers-that-be to sway and manipulate public opinion (the dumbfound masses do not know whether they are coming or going). The United States Government has had it sights on repealing the Second Amendment (giving the citizens the right to bear arms) of the United States Constitution even before John W. Hinckley, Jr., attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981—gun control has been high on the government’s agenda. The 112th U.S. Congress with its number of Tea Party members who aspire quasi-militia and patriot philosophical views and who are proponents of being constitutional constructionist and wholeheartedly believe in the citizens right to bear arms (the first official duty of these new congressional patriots was the out loud reading of the United States Constitution on the floor of the congress). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer is assuming this gesture was a public reaffirming of their loyalty to protect and defend the United States Constitution. Also, many of them, already believe that the United States Government is to involved in the personal lives of its citizens relative to the question of civil liberties and the consistent infringing on State Rights by the federal government and much as the Tucson, Arizona massacre was horrendous and unconscionable, I do not know if Rand Paul and the good ole boys are willing to put down their guns for the sake of a legislative truce. But to ask them to support gun control legislation in my opinion is a huge political stretch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-EL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we honor a falling warrior? Other than continuing the struggle for justice in his honor. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a warrior for justice who made the ultimate sacrifice in order to transform a society that was steeped in racial injustice that has permeated the entire social and political structure of America and has led to a history of social inequality relative to African Americans. Dr. King stated: "Man is man because he is free to operate within the framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., The Measures of Man, 1959).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King became morally convicted to transform a society that was steeped in racial injustice and prejudice. Dr. Martin Luther King called for America to look deep into her self and he challenged the moral and ethical foundation in which this nation was supposedly built upon. King stated: "Being a Negro in America means trying to smile when you want to cry. It means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. It means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. It means having your legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple. It means seeing your mother and father spiritually murdered by the slings and arrows of daily exploitation, and then being hated for being an orphan." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King in many ways was a true trailblazer and a pioneer for human justice; to celebrate his birthday on January 15, is much more than honoring a black hero, but it is a tribute to a modern day prophet. He was thrust into a vicious human rights battle in the 1950s and 1960s as the premier spokesman for the Civil Rights Movement which he received his assignment from the Montgomery Improvement Association. A little black woman named Rosa Parks in 1955 who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white patron and it was this incident that sparked the Civil Rights movement and led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott that lasted for 381 days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King's motivation can not be viewed separate and apart from the historical context of when the first slave ship docked on the eastern seaboard of the United States in 1555. There was a clarion call and a yearning for human rights from those who were brought to these shores as unwilling captives in chains; the inception of Chattel Slavery was the advent that led to a four hundred (400) year history of systematic oppression, injustice, and racism. Dr. King stated: "Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten....America owes a debt of justice which it has only begun to pay. If it loses the will to finish or slackens in its determination, history will recall its crimes and the country that would be great will lack the most indispensable element of greatness--justice." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These social variables were the impetus that sparked a young southern Christian preacher to pick up the torch of liberation and activism and to stomp on behalf of the least of these. So many Christian preachers today have lost sight of Jesus the Christ mission and have turned a blind eye to addressing oppression and often time their mission is about money and social mobility. They are driven by materialism and not humanism; Dr. King taught a social Gospel, he was deeply concerned with the same people that Jesus was concerned with. King was not interested in building mega churches and sanctuaries; he was more concerned about building human character and used his brilliant oratory skills to challenge a modern day Roman Government who was much more powerful than Pilate. The Prophet Job lost everything, but he never lost faith in God; this was the kind of faith Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a plethora of social issues plaguing the African American community ranging from gang violence, single parenting, high school drop out rate, unemployment, high black homicide rate, teenage pregnancy and a sense of disillusionment with a government that has betrayed the poor. Dr. King would be addressing these issues from the pulpit and he would be in the streets amongst the poor and oppressed working to give a voice to the voiceless. These modern day "Uncle Tom" Negro leaders are to busy window dressing and saying what is politically expedient and claiming they are the heir apparent to the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reverend Al Sharpton is not a contemporary of Dr. Martin Luther King, but the white media has elevated him to the status of modern day mass leader of the African American race, this is insidious and you would have thought Dr. King himself anointed and handpicked him as his predecessor. Reverend Sharpton was a little boy when Dr. King was leading and was not part of King's inner circle. The reality is, the day of elevated mass black leadership is over and we should not be looking for one black leader (the savior syndrome) to lead us to the promise land. This is antiquated thinking and failure to recognize that the world has made a paradigm shift and the concept of race leaders is obsolete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reverend Jesse Jackson was not King's most closest confidante; he was a young man who ran errands (getting King’s shoes shined and getting coffee, picking up lunch and answering the phones, etc.) and some of these Negroes were on the FBI payroll, but after King's death they rose to national prominence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States as a nation had evolved socially, politically and economically around the politics of race. Thus, race has consumed the psyche of the citizens of the United States from the very inception and the establishment of this republic. Racial politics has created and shaped the behavior of the dominant culture (European Americans) and the subcultures like (African Americans) behavior, which impacted the socialization process of a nation. Dr. King was confronted with the vicious system of Jim Crow in which African Americans were systematically disenfranchised and denied freedom, justice and equality. Dr. King said he was a drum major for justice. Dr. King stated: "Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is difficult for me to attend these elaborate King celebrations that are put on every year around January 20 where people who claimed to have walked with Dr. King yesterday but cease to struggle today and now get up giving speeches reminiscing in a nostalgic fashion, as though we have arrived as a people. We in 2009 are faced with some of the same challenges that Dr. King faced over forty (40) years ago, the enemy today is more covert and sophisticated and has further lured black people to sleep with Barack Obama being elected as the president of the United states of America, as though this resolves the social divide and all of sudden racism does not exist and all of America’s race problems have been solved. King stated: “But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.” (Reference: Martin Luther King; “I Have a Dream” Speech 1963).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is indeed a great accomplishment in the history of black America and one that Dr. King fought for and he to would be proud of President-elect Obama becoming the first African American president of the United States of America. However, I must caution President-elect Obama is a token; he does not resolve 310 years of injustice. Now! You do not reach the level that President-Elect Obama has reached by voting and/or by a ballot box election; voting is only an illusion, in what the masses perceive as their tool of expression pursuant to democracy participation and we are taught this is the highest representation of freedom and liberty that one can exercise in a so-called civilized society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I am not willing be duped on a symbol of token success and we call that progress; this so-called progress has been carefully orchestrated and well crafted by those who practiced deception and chicanery to lure the masses of the people to sleep into believing that Obama's appointment resolve 450 years of human injustice and conflict. This election does not begin to resolve the political, economic and social divide that exists inside of America. It is going to take a little more than the appointment of the first so-called African American president. Obama has not paid proper homage to the likes of Dr. King, Fannie Lou Hamer, Thurgood Marshall, A. Phillip Randolph, Rosa Parks, Whitney Young, Bayard Rustin, Roy Wilkins, etc., these Civil Rights leaders paved the way that he might sit in the White House today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer was explaining to his daughter that blacks were killed, lynched, beaten and were the victims of various types of physical violence during the turbulent Civil Rights era. President-elect Obama is the beneficiary of that struggle and sacrifices that were waged by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and those brave black and poor Civil Rights workers who stood up against some vicious tobacco chewing rednecks in the Confederate South and the Confederate North. They paid a price; they use to sing "I am not going to let anyone turn me around" and they understood the words of Patrick Henry, "Give Me liberty or give me death" and there is an old saying if you do not stand for something you will fall for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;African Americans after the passing of the Emancipation Proclamation (1863) and the passing of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution which freed the slaves in theory from chattel slavery. African Americans from 1865-1877 during what was known as the Reconstruction Period started to make tremendous strides toward economic and political progress. Thus, during this twelve year stint in southern states black politicians were being elected to high State level political offices. For example, in Mississippi Hiram Revels and Blanche K. Bruce, and Robert Smalls in South Carolina who served in the United States Congress. P.B.S Pinchback who was a Lieutenant Governor and for over two months served as governor of Louisiana during Reconstruction. (Reference: John Hope: “From Slavery to Freedom”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But all this progress was turned back with United States Government cut a deal with the south and removed federal troops who were there to enforce federal law. Thus, nineteen (19) years later the courts ushered in one of the most infamous U.S. Supreme Courts decision within the history of African American—the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision, which once again the high court legalized and institutionalized racism within the United States. The United States Supreme Court essentially said that in all matters of social, political and economic that segregation (separate but equal) was constitutional and could be practiced as a matter of law. This law was the mother of all Jim Crow laws which led to further racial segregation and discrimination—fostering racial hate, hate crimes, race riots, lynching, etc. Dr. King referred to America as the greatest purveyor of violence and she was hypocritical to criticize other nations and was unwilling to look in the mirror at how she was treating the African American. (Reference: W.E.B Dubois; “Black Reconstruction in America”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King was born on January 15, 1929 during the Great Depression and just thirty-three (33) years after the Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) decision and grew-up in the Jim Crow south of Atlanta, Georgia where he witness racial politics at its best. He was trained at three fine institutions of higher learning—Morehouse College, Crozier College and Boston University where he received a doctorate degree in religion. This writer does not believe early on that Dr. King visualized himself as a leader of the black multitudes; I believe that he would have been satisfied serving as the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, as opposed to being a leader of a mass movement. Sometime history finds us and it is mere accidental that we are led to certain stations in life but Dr. King was destined to be a modern day prophet, one who changed the outcome of humanity and this was a reality he could not escape. (Reference: Martin Luther King and James M. Washington; “A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.”)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover that does not mean that he was above reproach nor does it implies or insinuate that perhaps I do not have any disagreements (Separation versus Integration) with his philosophy, strategy, and tactics. What ever disagreements I may have, it does not rise to the level of me breaking ranks with a giant of a man. King understood best the words of one of the greatest rappers, poets and spoken word artist in Gil Scott Heron when he said, "the motherfucking dogs are in the streets"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King vehemently opposed the Vietnam War and as he grew politically, he openly condemned United States aggression in South East Asia. He stated: "Somehow this madness must cease. We must stop now. I speak as a child of God and brother to the suffering poor of Vietnam. I speak for those whose land is being laid waste, whose homes are being destroyed, whose culture is being subverted. I speak for the poor in America who are paying the double price of smashed hopes at home and death and corruption in Vietnam. I speak as a citizen of the world, for the world as it stands aghast at the path we have taken. I speak as an American to the leaders of my own nation. The great initiative in this war is ours. The initiative to stop it must be ours." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, 1967).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King by 1967 became one of the most dangerous leaders in America because he was growing politically and he had made some ideological transitioning beyond the Civil Rights movement and had come to recognize that the true struggle was international, which involved a struggle for human rights. Some of Dr. King's top advisors like Ralph Abernathy and Andrew Young advised King not to make this transition because it was a lot more political and expansive in ideology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King stated: "Over the past two years, as I have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as I have called for radical departures from the destruction of Vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. At the heart of their concerns, this query has often loomed large and loud: "Why are you speaking about the war, Dr. King?" "Why are you joining the voices of dissent?" "Peace and civil rights don’t mix," they say. "Aren’t you hurting the cause of your people?" they ask. And when I hear them, though I often understand the source of their concern, I am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the inquirers have not really known me, my commitment, or my calling. Indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live. In the light of such tragic misunderstanding, I deem it of signal importance to try to state clearly, and I trust concisely, why I believe that the path from Dexter Avenue Baptist Church—the church in Montgomery, Alabama, where I began my pastorate—leads clearly to this sanctuary tonight." (Reference: King speech Beyond Vietnam April 4, 1967. New York, N.Y.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King as he evolved politically became a target of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its zealous director J. Edgar Hoover and was covertly scrutinized under Cointelpro (FBI and the US Government Counter Intelligence Program). J. Edgar Hoover was obsessed with all black leadership from all political spectrums. King advocated civil disobedience and nonviolent protest and used tactics like boycotts, marches, sit-ins, freedom rides, etc., to force America uphold the laws which in 1954 the United States Supreme Court pursuant to Brown v. Board of Education which overturned Plessy v. Ferguson had declared “separate but equal as being unconstitutional. (Reference: Ward Churchill and Jim Vander Wall; The COINTELPRO Papers: Documents from the FBI's Secret Wars Against Dissent in the United States (South End Press Classics Series).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King led marches and demonstrations to force America to abide by its laws to end segregation and he went on a campaign to desegregate the south by any means necessary of course non-violently. King's agitation led to the U.S. Congress and President Lyndon B. Johnson passing perhaps two of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of black America, which was the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act these laws solidified black Americans status in this country as "Americans" and in theory opened up the door for full citizenship and public accommodation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation kept their eyes on the "Prince of Peace" and FBI director Hoover sent agent provocateurs to infiltrate King's organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and spied and eavesdropped on some of Dr. King's most private and intimate conversations. Hoover had a mandate to infiltrate and disrupt all progressive black leadership and Dr. King and Elijah Muhammad (leader of the Nation of Islam) was one and two respectively on that list. The Cointelpro agenda was revealed via the Freedom of Information Act and the public acquired thousands upon thousands pages of documents relating to Hoover and his FBI surveillance plan. (Reference: Mark Lane and Dick Gregory; “Murder in Memphis: The FBI and the Assassination of Martin Luther King”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoover was obsessed with any black leader that he thought had the ability to unify and electrify the masses or what he called a "Black Messiah". No doubt the United States Government can not escape culpability in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that took place on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. James Earl Ray was a pasty, a fall guy and the former President John F. Kennedy and his brother, the former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy were part of the United States Government conspiracy aimed at Dr. Martin Luther King. However, the Kennedys have this untainted historical place in the hearts of many African Americans who have lived through the Civil Rights era but only if they knew the dirty tricks of Kennedys relative to Dr. King and other black leaders of that era. (Reference: Philip H. Melanson: “The Murkin Conspiracy: An Investigation into the Assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis he was there to speak and rally on behalf of sanitation workers (garbage collectors) and demand better working conditions for poor black and white workers. King grew to understand that inequality between wealth and labor (labor and the means of production created an antagonistic contradiction between the "haves and have nots") for this position he was called a socialist, as if that label represented something bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King stated: "When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also declare that the white man does not abide by law in the ghettos. Day in and day out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions of civil services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison." (Reference: Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, 1967).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am socialist and if we had any damn sense the entire 40 to 50 million Africans living in America would be Socialist. Like Dr. King, I am against exploitation and I am against that one (1) percent of the population hoarding ninety five (95) percent of the world's wealth and resources; if that makes me a socialist, then I will wear that title with the highest honor and if Dr. King was a live today, I am quite sure he would stand shoulder to shoulder with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. King would be in total opposition to the Zionist State of Israel who ended the year and started the New Year in 2009 killing innocent Palestinian men, women, and children on the Gaza Strip. What is taking place in Gaza is a criminal act and should be condemned by all civilized people of the earth. There are forty-one (41) Congressional Black Caucus Members (CBC) and there should have been a collective statement, a resolution of sought issued condemning Israel for this unlawful act of aggression against the Palestinian people. Hamas was chosen as a democratic elected government and do not the Palestinians have the right to self-determination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. I have not heard the so-called black leaders nor the religious community stand-up and condemn what the Israeli military is doing in Gaza. Yet, many of them for the next two weeks will be putting on public programs honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and telling how they are followers of his philosophy. But King would not be sitting silent and watching the Palestinian people being slaughtered on the Gaza Strip and Gaza City go up in flames and not raise a voice of opposition. These are hypocrites and liars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former Congresswoman, Cynthia McKinney is one of the few black leaders that have stood up to condemn Israel for its aggression in Palestine. Everyone around the world knows that there is not an Arab military unit in the region that is comparable to the highly technical and sophisticated arm forces of the Israelis. The Palestinians are not a military match to the Israelis and this is why this onslaught should be condemned. Thus, ironically this is the home of Jesus and yet violence and oppression is occupying the Holy Land. If Israel claims a right to exist then it can not deny the indigenous people that same right. Lets honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, the right way and stand up against injustice where ever we find it on the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me start this Blog off by letting my readers know that I have received hundreds of request to join Facebook from both strangers and friends, and when I respond back and inform people that I do not have a Facebook page; thus, many seem shocked and flabbergasted often making the erroneous assumption that I am not in tuned with the age of information—Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and the other various social network mediums being used by the globe. Some have made the argument that my Blog writings are not receiving the mass appeal because of my failure to embrace Facebook—thus they perhaps have come in contact with my Blog Keeping it Real think tank site http://fahimknightsworld.blogspot.com/20... and many can appreciate my level of research and the type of information that I cover and convey on my Blog and they think others far beyond my traditional base need to have this knowledge. I must say I am always humbled by their passion for my work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at same time there are still others who cannot imagine that I am not on Facebook—they often tell me everyone is on Facebook—the social networking is part of accessing and delivering information in a real time paradigm. Most people are looking to put a face with the bloggers’ information, as well as view the background of the person with whom they may enjoy reading their philosophical theories and may even share paths (also there are others looking for a negative angle and possess more of a sinister agenda and you must be aware of the two energies). The first place people ordinarily look to find background information on people is to access search engines such as Google and of course Facebook in order to locate Internet generated information on the person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one Blogger named Paul Collins who has authored a number of books such as “Prescience Rendezvous”, “King without an Empire, and “Mystery of Everyman's way”. I believe Paul is from Canada and he is a member of The Daily Grail website another good alternative forum in which I have posted my work http://www.dailygrail.com/blogs/fahim-kn.... When I joined The TDG forum over three years ago, Paul emailed me after reading a few of my Blogs and I do not think Paul necessarily agreed with many of my contentions, in particular my views on the Invisible Rulers and the covert role they play in orchestrating the affairs of humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what Paul Collins stated to me on December 24, 2007, “If a person cries out against the problem, or problems, they ARE part of the problem. I am very distrustful of politicians, or business leaders, who appoint themselves as the voices of reason. Now, Fahim Knight, if you were an elitist, would you wish to change the status quo which would endanger your present money earning ways? Of course you would not. I believe the power is within ourselves not the elitist, or in the political establishment. We can choose. We have free will. If you wish to drive a gas guzzler, you have the free will to do so. If you wish to spend your nights drinking alcohol, you have the free will to do so. The power is not with the elitists, politicians, or the media... it is with ourselves. A lot of things are illusionary these days. If a person cries out against the problem, or problems, they ARE part of the problem.“&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul had Google searched my name looking for a picture of me and some additional background information and stated that he had searched the entire Internet and there was no picture of me and very little background information on who I was. This for the most has been intentional. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul in another email stated: “Fahim: I understand your point of view. These Power Elite Groups, i.e., the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, and Bildabergers can not do whatever they want. There is a thing such as universal law. They turn against universal law, the forces of nature will turn against them and us alike. I agree that critical analysis is what helps us grow. I also agree that spiritual and internal development is lacking throughout world society. But it all does come within. At the end of this so called War on Terror, this planet will have a single world currency and uniform laws. This so called conflict is about globalism. You can't fight globalism. You can get a sign and protest all you want--globalism is here to stay. Even Canada can't remain separate from North America. It has to surrender it's identity, all in the name of globalism. I firmly expect to see Canada and the United States as one country some time in the future. That is an impossible unavoidable spectacle. This will allow the US to eventually adopt a free and universal health care system--something it lacks. Anyhow, I think this was a healthy debate. Do you surf the TDG much, or did you just come across it by happenstance? What part of the US are you based in. I looked you up in google and couldn't find much on you. Not even a picture. I never heard of you up until now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, my twelve year old daughter approached me, a few weeks ago about establishing a Facebook page, thus, she stated most of her school peers had Facebook pages and this how they communicate with each other. She then asked my wife and I would we approve of her going on Facebook. I hesitated before answering my daughter because I wanted to set some limitations and guidelines and establish some parameters prior to moving forward in this conversation, if at all we were going to allow her to have a Facebook account. Yet, I fully understand that her generation and future generations to come will be functioning side by side with technology and technological way of life will effect and perhaps impact every facet of her and their lives, as well as our lives as adults. The social networking trend or fad has captivated the imagination over half billion people and has taking the importance of the Internet medium to the next level in the lives of a very large percentage of the globe. This is truly a digital era we live in and an exciting time to be alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter wasn’t born during the turbulent 1960s or 1970s and even now she was to young to have had heard of Cointelpro (in fact most Americans have never heard of Cointelpro), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) counter intelligence program established by J. Edgar Hoover in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, which was primarily aimed at black leaders and organizations. It was one of the most lethal government counter intelligence strategies and tactics of all times, which was aimed at controlling domestic rebellion and so-called subversive activity that eventually led to the assassination and imprisonment of many black activist in 1960s and 1970s who were engaged in the liberation struggle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These brothers and sisters paid a price and many still linger in state and federal prisons across the United States and have been political prisoners for years such as Mumia Abu-Jamal (former Black Panther and Move Organization activist who has been on death row since the early 1980s for allegedly killing a Philadelphia police officer). Sundiata Shakur who was an allege Black Liberation Army (BLA) activist and Black Panther and codefendant of Assata Shakur who was alleged to have assisted in the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper in the early 1970s. Assata Shakur was falsely charged and convicted where she was sentenced to federal prison in Morgantown, West Virginia and after serving a few years she escaped and fled to Cuba where she was granted political asylum, as a U.S. political prisoner (Shakur is still considered a U.S. fugitive). The New York Panther 21 who in 1969 was charged with conspiracy to blow up the New York Botanical Gardens, department stores, etc., but were later acquitted of all charges, thus, they were targets of Cointelpro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cointelpro primary objective was for the disruption and ultimately dismantling the black power movement and the Civil Rights movement and their leaders. Minister Malcolm X's defection from the Nation of Islam in 1964 and the rift between him and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was instigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation—they worked day and night to separate Minister Malcolm X from his teacher Elijah Muhammad (J. Edgar Hoover was fearful that a so-called "Black Messiah" would rise who could electrify and unify the masses). Hoover also targeted the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton (he was a continued victim of the U.S. Government dirty tricks) and eventually the government was behind the assassination of Mark Clark and Fred Hampton, two prominent Black Panther leaders in Chicago. The Freedom of Information Act only revealed some of the government reactionary tactics on the Panther’s leadership. Elaine Brown was exiled to France, Eldridge Cleaver exiled to Algeria before he lost his mind. Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt was sentenced to a long term prison sentence, which after serving 27 years was overturn (he eventually won a 4.5 million dollar civil lawsuit against the city of Los Angles and the U.S. Justice Department for false imprisonment and wrongful incarceration). But there were other nameless and faceless revolutionary freedom fighters who also were victims of Cointelpro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Federal Bureau of Investigation kept extensive dossiers on militant and radical black leadership what we in the movement called FBI files. The U.S. Government had hundreds of agents assigned to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and monitored his every movement, secretly photographing him, wiretapped his phones, infiltrated his organization Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and sent agent provocateurs to disrupt the continuity of the organization. King was under constant government surveillance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My daughter is a lot more computer savvy than I am and even interacting in the Bloggers world I often find myself consulting my twelve year old daughter for her valuable expertise. I just read prior to writing this blog as I stated above, which is Facebook has over a half of billion people connected to this social network site and this year it even beat out Google by having more people accessing its site than any other Internet social networking medium or search engine sites. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, this is what bothers me about Facebook, just a few years ago as I traveled to various large metropolitan cities such as Chicago, New York, Los Angles, Charlotte, Newark, Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, etc., where I would see black youth and Hispanic youth wearing T-Shirts, which read "No Snitching". This writer must admit, I admired the symbolic rebellious message, it was a code of ethics that I am very familiar with based on my own personal up bringing living in the inner city. Thus, reading the "No Snitch" message imprinted across their chest spoke volumes to perhaps their conscious and/or subconscious awareness of the social contradictions that exist between the power apparatus—the poor and privileged (the police, probation and parole officer, U.S. Marshal's Service, DEA, judges, prosecutors, INS) and themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, the founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg appeared on television with Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker where he gave the city of Newark 100 million dollars, a hefty gift to a crime ridding city where murder and gang violence are the order of the day. They take the "No Snitch" code of ethics serious in this city; thus, Newark's criminal justice system and judicial systems for many years now have had difficulties getting prosecution witnesses to testify for the state, because the gangs (bloods and Crips) and drug cartels have order hits on witnesses in which many have come up dead prior to trial. We have witness high profile criminal cases get tossed because the State of New Jersey lacked sufficient evidence and witness testimony to get a conviction. The United States Justice Department was called in to monitor these high incidents of witness intimidation and murder (the witness protection program was poor and ineffective, which has led to the deaths of tens witnesses who were slated to testify in high profile criminal cases in Newark). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this writer wondered why would Facebook founder Zuckerberg give Newark 100 million dollars? Newark has one of the worst school systems in the nation with a high dropout rate coupled by all types of social issues plaguing this inner city. I believe the state of New Jersey took over the Newark School system from under municipal city control a few years ago and 100 million dollar gift from Zuckerberg in my opinion was good faith money to instill confidence in New Jersey lawmakers and the private sector to invest in Newark and give the Council on Foreign Relations Mayor Booker a new political leash on life. Newark has over 40,000 students and an annual school budget of over $940 million dollars; moreover, in reality 100 million dollars do not put a dent into offsetting Newark’s educational expenditures. There is no doubt Mayor Booker was handpicked by a certain sector in New Jersey and he is a slave to their interest more so than to his black and Hispanic constituency. Perhaps he will use this money to create a miniature police city and impose more surveillance on the people. What’s in this deal for Facebook mogul Zuckerberg surely this act of philanthropy can not be taking on face value and perhaps there are short and long term interest connected to this deal far beyond the public relations photo opt? Why didn’t Zuckerberg build a Facebook hub in Newark where he could employee people and assist this impoverished city with their staggering high unemployment rate? This in the long run would have been a more feasible alternative to assisting New Jersey’s largest city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people need jobs and this would lead to a reduction in crime and at the same time raise the standard of living. May be Zuckerberg 100 million dollar investment was just another big step towards urban gentrification in Newark. Yet, as this writer scanned the many Facebook pages of friends and strangers, I was alarmed at how much people revealed about themselves relative to their personal and private lives on this public forum. People discuss their marriages, finance, legal matters, children, domestic break-ups, sexual orientation, family background, social events, employment, careers, religious orientation, politics, etc., and most of all people share their photos with friends and strangers (some post pictures of family members in which their entire family have images on the site) are we revealing to much and I am of the belief that some things just aren’t no one’s damn business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They even communicate on Facebook about matters which in the not so distance past would have been relegated to a private telephone call. Big Brother even 30 to 40 years ago only eavesdropped and wiretapped its citizen’s telephone calls, if you were considered a dissident voice and/or was involved in a criminal enterprise. This could have led to you being a person of interest to the United States Government (this much even in 2011 has not changed). Perhaps Facebook is a big experiment, unlike any other social experiment because people are willingly and voluntarily providing Big Brother with the most intricate details of their lives. I heard syndicated talk show host Tom Joyner on the Tom Joyner Morning Show on January 5, 2011 stated that the FBI said Facebook as a so-called non-criminal justice agency had the most extensive data base in the country (this will prove to be a dangerous reality for the American people in the near future) and the FBI was subpoenaing Facebook in some particular case just recently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the 911 hoax, which was a set-up and an inside job, it would be used as an infringement on the civil liberties of the American people and voluntarily caused them to surrender certain rights and freedoms while we were being duped into believing that our national security was being threatened by an external enemy. But the real intent and objective were to implement new laws and interpret existing laws to put the United States Government in a position to be all intrusive and very few would question the repressive motives of the United States Patriot Act (the U.S. Patriot Act literally took surveillance to a new level that was unprecedented in U.S. history). It removed all the legal barriers that use to exist between the state and the individual and most of all it left the U.S. Constitution naked (post 911 the constitution has become an irrelevant document) in which this silent revolution did not require one shot nor any bloodshed other than the 3,000 causalities associated with the bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. But its political, economic and social ramifications will prove to have far more implications on American history than any prior revolutions recorded in world history. The people (meaning our democracy) were overthrown as of the result of 9/11 coup d'état and it led to one of the greatest volunteer surrendering of our civil liberties. We handed the United States Government licenses to be omnipresent and all-encompassing in our lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a history of using dirty tricks in which over seventy-five percent of the so-called national and international acts of terrorism are mere creations of the CIA. They went from Afghanistan to Iraq and now are using propaganda to focus the ignorant American masses attention on Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki who self-exiled to Yemen (a Yemen-American citizen who was educated in America and is probably a CIA operative he is now considered public enemy number one). The sad phenomenon is that most Americans can not locate Yemen on the map, but they have already been thoroughly convinced that Anwar Al-Awlaki is the so-called new enemy of America and the west. They used the same strategy to convince the world that Saddam Hussein of Iraq was a mad man and never told the American people that Hussein was a CIA agent and hired gun of the U.S. Government for seven years (1979-1986) an international agent provocateur. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not think the old way of U.S. Government spying and surveillance has become obsolete, but with the invention of Facebook, it has provided law enforcement with a wealth of information on the identity of people, the various alias they use, photos of family and friends, what city and state they live in, etc., and not to mention the incriminating chat that takes place on Facebook. Facebook is the new FBI dossier and it doesn’t require the manpower or the man hours, nor will it be met with the same public resistance of Cointelpro of the past. They have done a superb job of luring people to sleep with the whole concept of social networking and have relaxed the Sheeple so much that they are enjoying and having fun in their own demise. This doesn’t require coercion or interrogation (that was once associated with KGB, Mossad, CIA, etc.) and a covert government plot to accumulate or access intimate files on American citizens in particular and citizens throughout the world in general (not to suggest that the old mode of acquiring intelligence has outlived its usefulness). The people have become so dumb down that they are voluntarily providing law enforcement with massive data under the guise of social networking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps twenty or thirty years from now Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will reveal that he and his Facebook enterprise was a United States Justice Department and Homeland Security covert operation established to gather national and international information on world society (now looking at this phenomenon from another perspective may be Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Raul Castro of Cuba, Kim Jong-il of North Korea, etc., have banned the devil with good cause and keeping their societies away from this master espionage plan called Facebook), which was being stored in a data base sitting readily to be access if need be by American Gestapo forces and their operatives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it is all said and done, it must be viewed that we voluntarily surrendered what little freedoms we still had left and just what if Facebook was an espionage operation. Some may view this article as one who is overly paranoid and even draw the conclusion that I have overreacted based on the analysis that I have presented relative to my opinion of Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg the Harvard dropout has to be a genius he has become a billionaire who organized a system whereby people globally can share information and no doubt Facebook is to be reckon with in the market place. President Barack Obama would not have become president if was not for him and his campaign utilizing the social network mediums and capitalizing off of an untapped voting bloc, which was young voters and it was this sector that helped carry him in the 2008 presidential election. Yet I still do not trust Facebook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dynastic Family criminal cartel and their covert criminal enterprises have devastated our prior perception of the American dream and quality of life. The reality is that the American workers and their value to the nation’s economic productivity have been on a steady decline for over the last fifty years (they do not realize that they have become obsolete and possess little value in the new paradigmatic scheme), but approximately in the last ten years, it was accelerated; moreover, this paradigm shift and social transition was induced primarily by the 9/11 crisis and what appeared at a blink of an eye, a global societal transformation had occurred. Unknowing to American victims in particular and the global society in general, that the world had literally moved in another direction and this phenomenon caught the American people and the globe totally off guard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The author David Icke in his most revealing book titled, “The Biggest Secret” stated: “The masses are herded and directed by many and various forms of emotional and mental control. It is the only way it could be done. The few can’t control billions of people physically, just as farm animals cannot be controlled physically unless a larger number of people are involved. Two pigs escaped from a slaughterhouse in England and eluded capture for so long, despite the efforts of many people to catch them that they became national celebrities. Physical control of the global population can not work. But it is not necessary when you can manipulate the way people think and feel to the point where they ‘decide’ to do what you want them to do anyway and demand that you introduce laws that you want to introduce. It is an old, old adage that if you want someone to do something, get them to believe it is their idea. Humanity is mind controlled and only slightly more conscious than your average zombie.” (Reference: David Icke; “The Biggest Secret”; p. xv). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These ruthless vipers want the public to believe that Wall Street and the global economic collapses were attributed to reckless consumerism and the American people living beyond their means (blaming the victims and peons for their misery)—the victims than began to internalize their own oppression and predicament by believing that the economic meltdown was due to bad timing and unforeseen coincidental world events and irresponsible consumerism on their part. But fail to realize, that they do not factor into the national and global monetary decisions and were spoon fed debt by those who have a vested interest in controlling the flow of money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers also were fully aware that this economic phenomenon would eventually collapse on itself and nothing was put in place to prevent social mayhem and the type of economic un-surety that is taking place across the globe today. People’s material appetites were induced to exceed their earning capability and potential to discipline themselves to live within their means only contributed to creating an inordinate amount of wealth for the unseen hand. The collapsing of the housing market (sub-Prime Lending Scandal) and the so-called collapse of the elitist financial institutions these were mere symptoms of a much larger acerbated problem in which became the first steps to rearranging the global debt and simultaneously altering human existence for generations to come (this was the real intent behind the economic meltdown). The above mentioned crisis publically justified the necessity for an overall paradigm shift and transitioned humanity into worthless collateral. Their objective was rooted in greed and viewed us useless eaters of weighing down the planet and contributing little to further expand their ravenous tendencies towards materialism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, since 2008 you have witness these so-called job fairs where thousands of people have lined up for possibly being one of the individuals to secure perhaps one of the hundred job vacancies which might be available at these employment fairs—seven thousand people applying for one hundred job vacancies (this scenario is taken place almost in every city urban and rural across America), if this doesn’t mirror the Great Depression of 1929 than what other proof is needed to convince us that they have turned the hands of time back and have relegated the American people to their most vulnerable state—subsistence dependency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alvin and Heidi Toffler in their book titled, “War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century” stated: “In Third Wave, brain-based economies mass production (which could almost be considered the defining mark of industrial society) is already an outmoded form. De-massified production—short runs of highly customized products—is the cutting edge of manufacture. Services proliferate. Intangible assets like information become the key resource. Uneducated or unskilled workers are made jobless. Old industrial-style behemoths collapse of their own weight, the GMs and Bethlehem Steels that dominated the age of mass production face destruction. Labor unions in the mass-manufacturing sector shrink. The media are de-massified in parallel with production, and giant TV networks shrivel as new channels proliferate. The family system, too, becomes de-massified: the nuclear family, once the modern standard, becomes a minority form, while single-parent households, remarried couples, childless families, and live-alones proliferate. Culture shifts from one in which standards are clearly defined and hierarchical to one in which ideas, images, symbols swirl in a maelstrom, and the individual plucks individual elements with which to form his or her own mosaic or collage. Existing values are challenged or ignored.” (Reference: Alvin and Heidi Toffler; “War and Anti-War: Survival at the Dawn of the 21st Century”; p. 22). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-mart has become the new image of corporate America and they have conditioned the people to believe that this giant distributor of goods being made and manufactured in China, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, India, Mexico, etc., represents the new face of America’s corporate business future. The wage earner will be forced to work for much less than he or she did just five years ago because of the inequity in the distribution of wealth and resources. It fosters into existence depressed economies, poverty and set global standards of living where supply and demand can be shrewdly manipulated in order to extract the cheapest form of labor based on a nation’s Gross National Product. Thus, which essentially determines their level of desperation as well as the profit margin for the Invisible Rulers based on the misery index (this shows up on the New York Stock Exchange, but only the Invisible Rulers know how to decode and read the hidden symbolism). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Human suffering is a by-product of greed in which 1% percent of the world’s population has wrapped their tentacles around 95% of the world’s wealth and resources. This demographic alone speaks to the criminal and sinister nature of those who serve as the inheritors of human suffering. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Greider in his monumental book titled, “Secrets of the Temple” stated: “Nevertheless, the concentration of wealth was the fulcrum on which the most basic political questions pivoted, a dividing line deeper than region or religion, race or sex. In the nature of things, government might choose to enhance the economic prospects for the many or to safeguard the accumulated wealth held by the few, but frequently the two purposes were in irreconcilable conflict. The continuing political struggle across this line, though unseen and rarely mentioned, was the central narrative of American political history, especially in the politics of money.” (Reference: William Greider; “Secrets of the Temple”; p. 38). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, it is this variable which stands as the most major antagonistic contradiction in human history, which drives the motivation for wars and conflicts around the world. The two recent United States instigated wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are of no exception. They were orchestrated to better position the Invisible Elitist to exploit these vital strategic regions of the world for the extraction of resources and then falsely propagandize to the masses that the Taliban and Al-Qaida are looking to impose their wills on the West. These type media reports keeps the globe preoccupied and distracted with sensationalized nonsense while the real criminal continues to enrich themselves and depopulate the earth at the same time (it’s a twofold strategy). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noam Chomsky in his book titled, “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest For Global Dominance” stated: “Controlling the general population has always been a dominant concern of power and privilege, particularly—since the first modern democratic revolution in the seventeenth-century England. The self-described ‘men of best quality’ were appalled as a ‘giddy multitude of beasts in men’s shapes’ rejected the basic framework of the civil conflict raging in England between king and Parliament, and called for government ‘by countrymen like ourselves, that know our wants,’ not by ‘knights and gentlemen that make us laws, that are chosen for fear and do but oppress us, and do not know the people’s sores.’ The men of best quality recognized that if the people are so ‘depraved and corrupt’ as to ‘confer places of power and trust upon wicked and undeserving men, they forfeit their power in this behalf unto those that are good, though but a few.” (Reference: Noam Chomsky “Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest For Global Dominance”; p. 5). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The infamous Marc Rich called one of the most sophisticated “metal men” in the world who even evaded the long arm of U.S. law (his picture used to hang next to Osama Bin-Laden in U.S. Postal Offices as one of America's Most Wanted) for over fifteen years by living in the European country of Switzerland which did not have an extradition treaty with the United States (this criminal was eventually pardon by President Bill Clinton in 2001) and these ruthless vultures like Rich and others would go to the ends of the earth to claim mineral rights and exploit the world’s natural resources. Moreover, to achieve this end, it doesn’t matter how bleak the outcome could be relative to the welfare of humanity.(Reference: A. Craig Copetas; "Metal Men: Marc Rich and the 10-Billion-Dollar Scam") and (Daniel Ammann: "The King of Oil: The Secret Lives of Marc Rich"). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Invisible Rulers have the ability induce political strife and cause international political instability, induce famines where they starve people of developing nations (often killing thousands and even millions in order to steal and manipulate developing nation’s natural resources). And then send the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (international gangster enterprises) as so-called agents of goodwill—these two entities and their subordinate operatives uses money and international loan agreements and contracts as tools of coercion to further steal and take possession of defenseless nation’s land and resources. They are part of the long arm of the Dynastic Families which has been established to institutionalize human misery and suffering in which to produce unimaginable profits for the Invisible Rulers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the predicament that the Invisible Rulers left us in after President George W. Bush aided them in raiding and dismantling the global monetary system. The Bush administration was able to create enough fear and panic relative to the financial markets, which convinced the American people that they were doomed if they did not agree to voluntarily fill the Rothschilds and Rockefellers coffers with earn and unearned taxpayers money. All the United States politicians are lapdog agents of the Rothschilds and all of them had direct orders to mandate that 99% (this constitutes at least 3-4 unborn generations) of the American masses pay and write a massive check, which eventually would seal their own fate relative to the global paradigm shift. The 750 billion dollars so-called bailout was actually a stickup and it became the litmus test which to measure societal levels of resistance and temperament. Sorry I am here to tell you that the people failed drastically and they now know there is no fight left in us. However, after observing the American people’s present economic, political and social predicament, which has worsen since the so-called bailout and the American people preventing a mass global economic market collapsing in 2008 (they received absolutely nothing but more misery). This writer can not imagine that the alternative would have been any different for the masses if the decision was made not to fund the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers in the so-called Wall Street Bailout. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover infusing trillions of dollars into the hands of the most wealthiest segment in human history, which has only led to staggering unemployment, minimum job creation, foreclosure escalations and disillusionment. I am still waiting for someone to explain to me how did the TARP money and bailout benefit the American people—credit dried up and the so-called middle class have been deceived into believing that the life style they once enjoyed would one day return and our nation will be restored to its economic ‘normalcy’. This writer does not share their optimism. The credit based economy is equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle; it sucks in all the would be participants and destroys nations sovereignty and individuals and leaves no traces of the powerful Invisible Culprits who caused these type economic downward spirals. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But make no mistake about this present economic crisis, they are the beneficiaries of the pendulum swings of the economic markets, which the market fluctuations have no real consequences for them—they have established house rules, they win even when the market loses. Thus they know how the global and American stock markets are going to fair even before these electronic wires open for the trading of commodities and currencies on the international stock exchange. How do you tell a privilege people and society that these variables have very little to do with the staggering 14 trillion dollar national deficit and staggering unemployment rates? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The economic crisis is beyond repairing because those who led to its dismantling were no longer willing to subsidize our false privileged status with a credit based (dissolved our monetary system that was once based on the gold standard) system that had max out relative to elastic currency and debt had become more of an un-recovering liability by 2008. The only option left was to induce and economic depression (this allowed them to call the global debt in and go undetected). The masses of the American people still have no idea what has happened to them and have been duped into believing that President Barack Obama possess the authority and ability create an economic prosper America once again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps you do not know this; no one other than the Invisible Elitist has the authority to stop the economic bleeding. This writer watched the Council on Foreign Relations agent and next speaker of the House of Representative John Boehner talking about resolving our nations 14 trillion dollar deficit (to make this asinine statement was either an indication that he was an ignorant fool or a genius, I would like to believe the former because the last eight U.S. Presidents could not balance the deficit). Congressman Boehner did not address who stole the American people’s national treasure and who do we owe this insurmountable debt to? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These puppet U.S. politicians play the blame game by blaming the other political party for these criminal acts. They often blame this on the defenseless poor and what Congressman-Elect Rand Paul is advocating it sounds like theories out of eighteenth century (the Tea Party versus their colonial British masters). He knows that the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England pulled the strings on the money two years ago sending the global economy into a tailspin and he also know that white nationalism is only an overt appeasement to an ignorant electorate base. Perhaps most of what I have written here would be shared by his father, Congressman Dr. Ron Paul of Texas who has written and spoken similar on this topic. Reference Ron Paul’s books “End The Fed”, “Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse” and “The Revolution: A Manifesto”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The economic prosperity of America is gone forever and psychologically our citizens have not made the transition (some are still walking around with newspapers; in particular those fifty years old and older assessing the classified ad section as they once did thirty-years ago and literally thinks there are employment opportunities available and the young technology generation are searching the Internet filling out electronic applications and submitting resumes on-line. Thus, both of these sectors haven’t realized that their employment opportunities have been outsourced to India, Korea, Mexico, China, etc. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We manufacture very little in the United States and over forty-years ago our factories were the lifeblood of sustaining a nation, but when you began to import more than you export and allow the international market to totally supply you with the goods that you consume, it marks death to a people's present and future sustainability. This phenomenon alone has rendered the United States as a dependent nation and we have lost our ability to be self-sufficient. This trend will continue to weaken our nation and we are steadily losing our power on the world stage. This is because the United States dollar once was the most sought after currency in the world, it no longer commands the respect and reverence of the global financial market. The Fall of America is near and there is no other sign greater than the decline of the United States dollar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Barack Obama as he visits international governments overseas looks weak and the U.S. have lost its international swagger to broker deals, and now we have to convince the world to align themselves with us and unlike past U.S. presidential administrations; there is no guarantee that this relations will lead toward more economic prosperity and foster other diplomatic perks (at least this is the way it had been for the last one hundred years). But the United States owes China over three trillion dollars in outstanding loans/debt and China doesn’t want U.S. currency because it is valueless on the global market and the U.S. weak economic position is reverberating throughout the international community. Let’s be clear President Obama did not cause the present U.S. dilemma, he inherited a gamut of political, economic and social problems from the prior Bush administration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is steadily printing worthless currency and is doing this as a strategy to stimulate the American economic markets (artificially manipulating interest rates and inflation) and this is surely a road toward continued economic disaster for the United States and the globe. This writer is predicting that in less than two years Wall Street Markets are going to collapse again, but this time there will be no so-called safety net in place and the Great Depression of 1929 will look like child’s play. The American people have become relaxed again and continue to ignore the handwriting on the wall until they are forced to see that the Invisible Rulers and the United States Government do not care about the welfare of its citizens nor about the welfare of humanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire planet has become expendable and the science of greed and exploitation are the principle driving forces, which are navigating this polarity that exist between humanity and even the physical planet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fahim A.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer in October 2009, at a public forum met a professor named Dr. Rolin Mainuddin who is an associate professor of political science at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, which at this initial meeting, he explained to me that he was doing some research on three `Islamic' groups, the Nation of Islam, Ahmadiyya movement and the Bahi' Faith. But he was interested in me possibly assisting him with the Nation of Islam piece of the research. He gave me his business card and contact information and asked me to get back with him with my decision. Thus, upon getting back to my office, I Google searched his name and located his academic vitae because I was somewhat curious about his academic background and training (I must admit, I am very suspicious of people or strangers finding me and this sort of goes back to my level of understanding Cointelpro). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer back in 1994 published a book on the Nation of Islam titled, "In Defense of the Defender: The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad". Let me just give my readers a little background of why I decided to write in defense of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. It was written as an antithesis to Spike Lees' 1992 epic film titled, "Malcolm X" and how he poorly portrayed Elijah Muhammad, the man who woke Minister Malcolm X up and gave him a world stage. This writer, also a few years later had given scholarly assistance to Dr. Claud Clegg (presently on the faculty of Indiana University at Bloomington) former professor of history at North Carolina A&amp;T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina who authored a book titled, "An Original Man: The Life and Times of Elijah Muhammad" published in 1997 by St. Martin's Press. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first meeting with Dr. Mainuddin, I summated that perhaps he was originally from one of the Muslim nations in the Far East somewhere in Asia, I guessed Indonesia, but he was the classical academician—cordial, eccentric and highly intelligent, somewhat personable and aloof at the same time. His personal web page posted by North Carolina Central University stated: "Dr. Mainuddin received his doctorate in political science in October 1992 from the University of Kansas, Lawrence. His first teaching experience began in Kansas in the Fall of 1985 as a teaching assistant. Originally from Bangladesh, his first educational experience in the United States was at Ohio University, Athens. There, he completed two master's degrees: political science (1986) and international affairs (1984), with a concentration in international administration for the latter. Earlier, he completed master's (1982) and bachelor's (1981) in international relations from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Before returning to Bangladesh for college, he had completed high school education (O'-levels and A'-levels) at Queen's College, Nassau, the Bahamas, in the mid-1970s."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In addition to the privilege of being elected president of the North Carolina Political Science Association (2002-2003) and the Association of Third World Studies (ATWS, 1998-1999), Mainuddin is a recipient of NCCU Excellence in Teaching Award (1999) and ATWS Presidential Award (1995). Furthermore, he had the honor to participate in the Fulbright-Hays Program in Israel and Jordan (Summer 2001). Having served as associate editor for Middle East for the Journal of Third World Studies (2003-2006), a faculty development grant from NCCU gave Mainuddin an enriching experience in Yemen (Summer 2006)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a Sunni Muslim looking to investigate the Nation of Islam in which I was initially very skeptical about his possible predisposed religious bias given that the Nation of Islam has been viewed as a "heretic sect" by what is deemed mainstream and so-called traditional Islam. But after many conversations with Dr. Mainuddin, my intuition led me to believe that he was making every effort to detach his personal beliefs from the research and gave me the impression of his desire to be objective and impartial. He had been teaching at this small African American liberal arts institution for over 15 years and seemed to be a research minded professor and scholar. This writer was fully aware that most professors and academicians who worked at historical black colleges and universities are forced to be engaged in teaching and lecturing and scholarly research and publishing are not considered high priorities (so I must say that I was impressed that this black college professor has stepped outside the box, but that is not say that I wasn't suspicious of his relationship with the funding agency the U.S. Department of Homeland Security). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had met the former chairman of the North Carolina Central University political science department years ago; his name was Dr. Jeffrey Elliot and served as mentor to me early on in my intellectual development. Dr. Elliot was Jew, but he had a serious interest in African American political history (authored a book titled, "Black Voices: Interviews With Prominent Afro-Americans") and movements and was one of the smartest and insightful intellectuals that had the privilege to meet and study under. Dr. Elliot authored over 150 books and hundreds of scholarly articles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when Dr. Mainuddin approached me about assisting with his research project, I immediately thought of the late Dr. Elliot, my mentor who chaired that department for many years and was a colleague of Dr. Mainuddin. However, as I stated above I was initially a little apprehensive because most western scholars have not treated the Nation of Islam as a topic and subject with fair and scholarly balance. This type of objectivity is very important to me, in particular when someone is asking me to assist them with a research project such as dealing with the Nation of Islam and this is not to say that Dr. Mainuddin will treat this movement any different than other scholars who have written on this movement; notwithstanding the many open and positive correspondences we have had. But on the surface he seemed genuine and possessed a level of integrity and sincerity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, after a number of meetings, emails and telephone calls between myself and Dr. Mainuddin, I decided to assist him in his research project. Dr. Mainuddin explained to me that he was working with the University of Maryland at College Park with the giving topic titled, "Choosing Between Violence and Non-Violence,". The Department of Homeland Security as mentioned above was one of the principle funding sources and had made grant money available to these scholars which to carryout this research. I did not ask Dr. Mainuddin about the amount of the grant and how much financial compensation was in it for him in which that would not have been an intrusive question because it was tax based money being made available for studying Islam and violence? This researcher ordinarily would have asked Dr. Mainuddin to write me and my services into the grant proposal because I was going to play an intricate part in establishing contacts and providing him with an in depth analysis of Nation of Islam and the so-called Black Muslim Movement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I introduced him to Minister Amon Muhammad of Muhammad Mosque #34 (Durham, North Carolina) and Minister Amon Muhammad was in a much better position than I (after all he was Minister Louis Farrakhan representative in the city of Durham) to guide this scholar through the Nation of Islam bureaucracy and protocol procedures and could provide him with some valuable insight into the life giving teachings. My role, in particular was to focus only on the aspect of the research pertaining to the Nation of Islam, and he had lined others up who would be assisting him with the Bahi' Faith and the Ahmadiyya movements exclusively. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend to Dr. Mainuddin that he read all of Messenger Muhammad's writings such as "Message to the Blackman in America, "The Fall of America", "How to Eat to Live", "Our Savior Has Arrived", etc., and I also advised him to attend the Nation of Islam annual Saviours' Day Convention held each February in Chicago (given in honor of Nation of Islam founder Master Fard Muhammad) and he followed my recommendation an attended the national convention. Dr. Mainuddin participated in some of the various workshops that were being conducted at the Saviours' Day convention and after returning it was evident that he had a new found respect for the Nation of Islam as an organization. I also advised him while in Chicago to contact Munir Muhammad of the Coalition For the Remembrance of Elijah (C.R.O.E.) who are serious archivist and curators of Elijah Muhammad's legacy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer also advised Dr. Mainuddin that there were a number of Nation of Islam organizations who adhere strictly to the life giving teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and do not follow Minister Louis Farrakhan (for example, Supreme Minister John Muhammad, Minister Silis Muhammad, Minister Solomon Royall, etc.). Most of these scholars love to sought after so-called Islamic scholars such as Dr. Amina McCloud a professor of Islamic Studies at DePaul University in Chicago. Let's be clear many of these `Negro' scholars of this type joined on to Imam Warith Deen Mohammed and betrayed the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and in my sight they have no credibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three religious groups (the Nation of Islam, Ahmadiyya movement and the Bahi' Faith) would be classified as `pseudo' Islamic groups (not that I agree with this classification) that have unique philosophical teachings with extremely unconventional and unorthodox Islamic theologies—deviations from mainstream Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. But these three Islamic groups have coexisted in the dominant society (United States of America) without perpetuating and espousing a sense of militant Islamic radicalism that has led to violence and so-called acts of terrorism which has plagued some members who have embraced the two dominant Islamic schools of thought—Sunni and Shia. This writer believes that this type of study that Dr. Mainuddin was preparing to embark upon, perhaps acquired scholarly relevance and gained momentum after the 9/11 crisis. The social scientist and U.S. intelligence community desired to get into the mind of Islam and really wanted to know on one level, if it was the theology that drives the fundamentalist behavior and mindset towards violence. They are projecting that this study will provide them with certain data and empirical conclusions; or what is it about these so-called three Islamic "sects" and their teachings that have fostered a non-violent approach relative to confronting their perceived nemesis, which is not necessarily considered western society as it is perceived by the dominant Islamic religion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I am quite sure that each group possess spiritual teachings relating to how the enemy of the righteous is going to be dealt with, but I do not think the answers to these questions totally lie in understanding the theology and culture of these three above said faith traditions (individual will also plays a huge part in human behavior and this is not to say that human behavior can not be influenced by external variables). Yet at the same time there is much the scholars can learn about minority groups and subcultures such as fringed Islamic movements that have so-called deviated from the mainstream ideology of Islam and have maintained a high level of social and political civility (perhaps there is something in this phenomenon that we all can learn from). What is it that causes them to have no affiliation with terrorism and have not aligned themselves with violent extremist who are bent on imposing massive collateral damage on the west by any means necessary? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, this phenomenon relative to the Nation of Islam, Ahmadiyya and Bahi Faith have at least intrigued the United States Government and the Department of Homeland Security to investigate by involving the academic community and scholars, which to create some empirical data, assessing and evaluating the theology, philosophy and the tenets of belief that caused these three Islamic movements to teach and embrace a doctrine that do not necessarily has a history inspired by Jihad and violence driven believers. This is not to overlook what took place in 1973 with the Hanifi Muslim sect and the killing of its leader Hamaas Abdul Khaalis family in Washington, DC by the members of the Philadelphia Black Mafia (whom some believe had strong ties and allegiance to the Nation of Islam under the Honorable Elijah Muhammad). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is little doubt that former Nation of Islam Minister Jeremiah Shabazz of Temple Number 12 (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was covertly involved in organized crime and many have alleged that he personally sent the hit squad to Washington, DC to kill Khaalis for slandering the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's good name. Minister Shabazz was never indicted or charged with those heinous crimes and murders of members of the Hanifi Sect (former basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar belonged to this group). (Reference: Sean Patrick Griffin; "Phildelphia's Black Mafia: A Social and Political History"). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the Nation of Islam was alleged to have been involved in a string of killings on the West Coast in the San Francisco area in 1973-1974 called the Zebra killings, but these allegations were proven false and that is not to say that Black Muslim individuals did not participate in some of the Zebra killings who acted as individuals. Two books on the subject have been published, Zebra (1979), by Clark Howard, which is out of print, and The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness, and Civil Rights (2006) by Prentice Earl Sanders and Bennett Cohen. Yet, this is not to suggest that these groups haven't had disagreements with the status quo. John Allen Muhammad (the DC Sniper), an alleged former member of the Nation of Islam in which some believe that he was once a member in the Nation of Islam under Minister Farrakhan who in 2002 went on an unprovoked killing spree. But Minister Louis Farrakhan repudiated and denounced these killings and he and the Nation of Islam were never indicted in the John Allen Muhammad incident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Mainuddin stated: "with your help, I would appreciate the opportunity to interview members of the Nation of Islam in the Raleigh area. What I am hoping for is an individual perspective (rather than as a spokesperson of one's community) to understand one's view about khatam al-nabiyeen (seal/last of prophets) and attitude towards non-violence/violence despite the legacy of societal challenges facing the community". This correspondence is sort of a follow-up to a question that you asked relative to, why Nation of Islam has chosen a non-violence over violence discourse in its 80 year history, as an Islamic organization within the United States of America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Mainuddin seemed intrigued by the divinity that the Nation of Islam had ascribed to Master Wali Fard Muhammad (1877-?) (Allah who appeared in the person) and during my interview with him, the majority of questions revolved around the history of Master Fard Muhammad. We talked at great length about this most central figure to understanding how the Nation of Islam evolved and the foundation of all the tenets rest upon the theology and Islamic paradigm established by the Great Madhi (and the Christ of the Christian world) W.F. Muhammad. I believe that Master Wali Fard Muhammad philosophical and theological approach was rooted in surviving the cultural dynamics of a system that was ingrained in white supremacy. He was definitely well aware of Black people's history and sojourn in America relative to their 310 year experience, perhaps under one of the most inhumane and brutal systems to be ever recorded in the annals of time, which was Chattel Slavery (1555-1865). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He officially, arrived on the scene on July 4, 1930 (although he was in and out of America for some twenty years before he made his identity known to the lost tribe of Shabazz), within city of Detroit, Michigan and began teaching the oppressed downtrodden Blacks of Paradise Valley. It is believed that this strange man who was a peddler of silk had converted over twenty-five thousand black people to Islam. Wali Fard Muhammad understood that many blacks who were brought to the Americas were descendents of Muslim ancestry, but slavery had brought about such disconnect relative to them being able to identify with their native land of Africa and with the other original people of the earth. Blacks lost their religion, their God, language, culture, land, etc., during the viciousness of the Middle Passage and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It was taught in the Nation of Islam's theology that it was this historical predicament which justified God himself coming to save, reclaim and redeem a fallen humanity (the Asiatic Black man). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what Master Fard Muhammad said about his coming in the Lessons: "My name is W. F. Muhammad. I came to North America by myself. My uncle was brought over here by the Trader three hundred seventy-nine years ago. My uncle cannot talk his own language. He does not know that he is my uncle. He likes the Devil because the Devil gives him nothing. Why does he like the Devil? Because the Devil put fear in him when he was a little boy. Why does he fear, now, since he is a big man? Because the Devil taught him to eat the wrong food. Does that have anything to do with the above question, No. 10? Yes, sir!. That makes him other than his own self. What is his own self? His own self is a righteous Muslim. Are there any Muslims other than righteous? I beg your pardon? I have never heard of one. How many Muslim sons are there in North America? Approximately three million. How many original Muslims are there in North America? A little over seventeen million. Did I hear you say that some of the seventeen million do not know that they are Muslims? YES, SIR! I hardly believe that unless they are blind, deaf and dumb. Well, they were made blind, deaf and dumb by the Devil when they were babies. CAN THE DEVIL FOOL A MUSLIM? NOT NOWADAYS, Do you mean to say that the Devil fooled then three hundred seventy-nine years ago? Yes, the T R A D E R made an interpretation that they receive G O L D for their labor - more than they were earning in their own country. Then did then receive gold? NO. The Trader disappeared and there was no one that could speak their language. Then what happened? WELL, they wanted to go to their own country, but they could not swim nine thousand miles. Why didn't their own people come and get them? Because their own people did not know that they were here. When did their own people find out that they were here? Approximately sixty years ago."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Master Fard Muhammad could not bring a message of arm resistance or teach violent physical retaliation against the oppressor and the United States Government because it would have meant an early demise for him personally and the Nation of Islam in general, (he arrived during the period of Jim Crow Era and this was a dangerous time for blacks in America). He understood early on that the Nation of Islam was a small minority religious entity and jihad would have been suicidal, in particular when you are confronting one of the most industrialized nations in the world who possessed the best military industrial complex in the world. Perhaps second only to Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, although, Black people historically have always had political, economic and social gripes with the United States Government and throughout history has been vocal about their social discontent, as an oppressed and marginalized people. Perhaps none more than the likes of Demark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser, Nat Turner and the works of David Walker (who advocated violent slave revolts that were unsuccessful), as well as others who represented this position and it was carried out in countless slave rebellions and the above mentioned leadership prototype confronted the issue of oppression and repression with violent resistance. However, history tells us that this type of militant and radical political action brought about more oppressive restrictions and reactionary polices being imposed by the United States Government against black people, as a political backlash for their resistance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me at this juncture briefly mention the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense which was founded in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, as an example, of a Black Nationalist group who took up arm struggle and it became a catastrophic tactical decision that led to many Black Panther Party members being killed and others receiving long term federal and state prison sentences. The decision to take up arms led to their demise as an organization in which Elijah Muhammad warned them that this would be their fate. The Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s would be met today with the long arm of the U.S. Patriot Act, Enemy Combatant laws, Military Commission Act, Anti-Terrorism Act, etc., in which these massive Executive Orders and legislative Acts have render dissention at a minimum and it has worked to usurp American civil liberties. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Honorable Elijah Muhammad sympathized with their cause, but he reminded us that Allah would be the one to fight his battles and this political-theological approach kept him and the Nation of Islam out of harms way. However, that is not to say that black revolutionary arm struggle did not produce some positive results, in particular confronting a racist society and gaining the respect (they understood that a life for a life was possible when confronting armed Black men). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Master Fard Muhammad knew that he needed a different strategy and tactic to confront the enemy (who at that time in the Nation of Islam's history was the white race) and yet simultaneously he needed a message that would resonate with a people who were disenfranchised and who were still psychologically scarred and historically traumatized from the viciousness of Chattel Slavery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Blacks who accepted the Nation of Islam's teachings and became Muslims were prior Christians, in which the theology of Christianity dealt with the question of retribution and forgiveness as a matter of accepting and believing that Jesus Christ (personified as God and the son of God) had power and authority to resolve all earthly matters and human intervention would only be a compromise of the type of justice that omnipotent one would deliver to the unjust (vengeance is mine said the Lord). Master Fard Muhammad taught from both the Bible and Qur'an; the white slave masters who initially interpreted the scriptures for the Black slaves taught them the importance of obedience (trust and love your master). Moreover, good and evil were to be determined by a supernatural force which sat in heaven (the mystery god concept); of course the white slave masters used the scriptures to justify his superiority and Black people's inferiority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blacks who became members of the Nation of Islam in 1930's, up until perhaps the early 1970's found comfort in a movement that politically agitated and spoke to the question of black rage, that the scholar Eric Michael Dyson often makes mention of. This perceived anger and discontent that Nation of Islam fostered served to assure its parishioners that their worldview were directly opposed to the United States Government and the white race. This position continued to win them new converts and allies in America and outside of America. No, one group has played to white guilt better than the Nation of Islam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their condemnation of white supremacy has always fulfilled a psychological void and in the same manner it assured Blacks that they were not defenseless and they used a war of words to exemplify their strength and courage to the powerless Black masses. They viewed it as speaking truth to power. But the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and Master Fard Muhammad taught strict discipline and obedience to Allah (the black God) and Black Muslim theology as it is written in the Lost-Found Muslim Lessons and "Message to the Blackman in America". Muhammad taught that America was prophesized to be destroyed in 1914 (reference all the works of Jabril Muhammad; formerly known as Bernard Cushmere) and that she would burn in a lake of fire. But she is now existing under a period of grace by Allah`s permission. (Reference Elijah Muhammad speech the "Judgment" which was initially published as a 45 Album). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, it was taught that Allah, who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad told the Honorable Elijah Muhammad directly from his mouth of the plan that he Allah had for the U.S. Government and the enemies of the righteous. This symbolic cryptic message alone brought a more theological credibility to a passive-aggressive theological worldview that continued to assure the believers that Allah had promised this to his Messenger that the enemies of the righteous had a randevu with destiny and ultimately they would be brought to destruction. Muhammad also taught about the Mother ship (a wheel within a wheel) constructed on the Island of Nepal and written about in the book of Ezekiel within the Bible. This mother ship was equipped with over 1500 baby bombing planes and will create an Apocalypse, (salvation for Black race and doom for the white race)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nation of Islam clerics in sermons knew how far to go and no matter how militant or radical the message may have been, the believers were always left with the belief that Allah would act on their behalf and they had no obligation to render any harm to any person and this included members of the white race. This created a view that in many ways was consistent with the dominant Sunni Islamic view that he Allah is one God, he begets nor is he begotten and there is none like him according to the Holy Qur'an Shariff and at the same time there was a man named Master Fard Muhammad (an anthropomorphic being—Allah on earth to the Nation of Islam) which contradicts the dominant Islamic view of God in which he is the one to decide the fate of the white world (this is the view of Allah that is widely accepted in the Nation of Islam). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theology of Nation of Islam and their belief system have always assured them that Allah was on the side of the oppressed (and righteous) Asiatic Black man and no one could render him justice like what Allah has prepared for him (we are not speaking of that mystery God that does not exist). This faith in a God orchestrated jurisprudence, which was rooted in a divine judgment has always tempered any thought of the Nation of Islam resorting to violence as a political option in confronting systemic practices of racism, fairness, injustice, discrimination, etc. Although, the U.S Government and the Nation of Islam have had a contentious and antagonistic relationship over its eighty year history, it has for the most part been a tolerable coexistence . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Honorable Elijah Muhammad understood the geo-political dynamics of the Muslim world and the United States. The Muslim world viewed the United States and the Western Governments as systems of evil who had vested interest to corrupt the political, economic and social systems germane to Islam as a religion and institution (not to mention the Israeli and Palestinian issue and the question of Zionism). The Muslim world had experience European colonialism and has been in a long protracted struggle to fight vestiges of neo-colonialism that is shrouded in western cultural influences, which have covertly worked to undermined Islamic theocratic societies and in some instances this is being done in a de-facto manner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Islamic World has resorted to the use of carnal weapons of war in order to fight their battles with their enemies and yet, they preach the authenticity and power of Allah to intervene in the affairs of men, but do not trust him enough to bring their enemies to its knees. The Nation of Islam truly believes in that power of Allah and some of this is described in the book "The Fall of America" that was published I believe in 1973. Allah is more than capable of dealing with the forces of evil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9/11 brought many challenges to the Nation of Islam, in particular and all of Islam in general, all Muslims and the Nation of Islam came under intense scrutiny and surveillance from various Homeland Security agencies. The United States Government was working hard to determine, if the Nation of Islam had any external foreign alliances that could jeopardize the United States national security. Although, Minister Louis Farrakhan had visited many Islamic nations and met with foreign Muslim dignitaries whom President George Bush called "rogue nations" and "axis of evil"; thus, Farrakhan travels were being scrutinized with a fine tooth comb, with an objective of so-called trying to link the Nation of Islam to any radical, militant and extremist organization, which to use the United States judicial system and criminal justice system to punish the Nation of Islam for having these type international relations with some of America's perceived enemies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nation of Islam as an organization had no history of supporting violence and was not involved in any subversive activities that would have compromised U.S. national security. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that we should respect the United States sovereignty and flag. Let me end here.

Knight-El&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wife talked me into going to see, the movie “For Colored Girls” last weekend directed by Tyler Perry, it was originally based somewhat on the 1974 Broadway stage play titled, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf”, authored by Ntozake Shange. My wife, is a huge fan of Tyler Perry and his work in which most of his movies she hasn’t missed, but let me be a bit honest here, if it was left up to me, I probably wouldn’t have gone to view any of Tyler Perry’s movies. Yet, this is not to downplay or demean how crafty and talented Tyler Perry is as a producer, director, scriptwriter and no doubt this brother is a creative artistic genius; literally a story from rags to riches. But out of love and respect for my wife (we do not always agree, but I respect her insight and perspective even if it is a dissenting opinion), we have gone together to see a number of his films. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have viewed together on the big screen Tyler Perry’s films such as “Daddy’s Little Girl”, “The Family that Preys”, “Why did I Get Married?”, “Madea’s Family Reunion” and “Medea Goes to Jail”. Perry has a loyal black following and a number of his films have scored huge at the box office because of these loyalists. Thanks to the power of black people’s ticket purchasing and as I stated above blacks ordinarily comes out in huge numbers to support Tyler Perry’s Films (we are a very predictable people). However, like most black filmmakers and directors his films are no different and are of very little substance and are made to merely entertain—keep them laughing, happy and docile (modern day Amos n’ Andy). Also, I am a huge supporter of black film makers (I am more of a supporter of independent filmmakers). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I must say right off the back that most African American films are often shallow and entertaining and lack real political substances. I consulted my good friend Troy Muhammad for some answers, he has been in the film industry for over twenty-five years he stated: “The problem is that not many folk go see conscious Black flicks; not enough to make a dent at the box office at least not since Spike Lee first hit the scene. Now I believe that if the flick is good and well done everyone—black, white, blue, etc., will go see it.” There are perhaps some exceptions to this dismal era in the life of black creativity in twenty-first century. Muhammad further stated there were some socially conscious film makers and directors, however, those individuals such as: “The Hudlin Brothers, Matty Rich, Bill Duke and Antoine Faqua are absent, or have decided that strictly Black theme Flicks don't appeal to the masses.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This writer also knows that blacks do not control Hollywood and the images that come out are systematically created with intended covert purposes and agendas, which is being shaped and molded by powerful hidden forces. I hear African American constantly praising Irvin “Magic” Johnson, the former Los Angles Lakers basketball player and Hall of Famer and his prior investments in bringing movie theaters to depressed and dilapidated areas of urban America. But Magic Johnson has minuscule influence on the images that Hollywood decides to put on the big screen. This writer respects Magic Johnsons entrepreneurial ventures and he has done extremely well as a black business man, but he has no idea how the minds of those who controls mass mediums function. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me digress, a bit prior to the movie coming out, Tyler Perry appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show, a reactionary Negro woman who for twenty years has played it very safe. How many African Americans have she helped to become m
