Maybe it’s a good thing we’re not back in ATL judging by the gas lines. The shortage is due to Hurricanes Ike & Gustav according to news reports. Well we all know the other dominant story in the news recently is the $700 billion bailout plan which was rejected in Congress. The picture of grief on the cover of the USA Today was priceless. Well today the players in this economic meltdown drama are looking optimistically happy about the potential to pass a revised version of the bill. Any way you look at it, the Bill is only going to be a band-aid over a wound that is so much deeper than any one in this country wants to look at. America is not known for paying her debts and has been operating out of a deficit for a long time now. We are not surprised by this behavior or America’s actions regarding anything they do to remain in power. You are looking at a country who have always been willing to kill millions to get her way. She was built in this manner and still has an outstanding debt to us which they refuse to pay. We cannot put our hopes in a bailout plan which offers no benefit to us.

In the introduction of The Debt; by Randall Robinson he writes:

“At the dawn of the twenty-first century African Americans lag the American mainstream in virtually every area of statistical measure. Neither blacks nor whites know accurately why. The answer can be found only in the distant past, a past as deliberately obscured as the Capital’s secrets.

“The solutions to our racial problems are possible, but only if our society can be brought face up to the massive crime of slavery and all that it has wrought.

“Now never begins yesterday. To set afoot a new and whole black woman and man, we must first tell the victims what happened to them - before and after America was new.”

We know that we have an enemy who does not care anything for us. This is no longer surprising to us or at least it shouldn’t be. Now we must learn to progress in a hostile environment despite this fact. We are naturally equipped to thrive during the tough days that lie ahead for this country but we must be willing to work together on multiple levels. The enemy has a price to pay for the wickedness done to us and during a time like this we must not be caught waiting around for our opportunity to rejoice at her failings. If America falls this means bad news for us because of our refusal to come out of her. We have to embrace change like no other time in history just as our presidential candidate and brother, Barack Obama is attempting to represent. One thing for certain is that change is on the way.

You have to think about investing in the most stable of resources right now to get through this time. You must invest in yourself. You look to all these outside factors to change your life when you possess the most powerful resource known to man. The power of you!

“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” – Ralph Ellison

Do you know who you are? Well on a certain level of course you do. You know what your favorite foods are, your favorite movies, songs, video games, books, sports, etc..

But have you taken the time to get to know yourself? In addition how much of your true history have you bothered to study? It has intentionally been hidden from you. Its refreshing to see that youngsters are learning some of their recent history (last 10-20 years) even though most of it is Hip Hop culture.

You have to start to think of what will help you become the best you that you can be. What are your strengths and how can you maximize them for the benefit of yourself and your family. And unless you are a damn good emcee or you are serious about dedicating yourself to that craft, don’t tell me you wanna rap. Trust me we have enough son.

You must learn how to put Self First.

Now of course in order to do that you have to learn who you are and some of the obstacles we have faced and continue to face as a people which keep us last in all these areas of statistical measure as noted above.

“The great stumbling block in the way of progress in the race has invariably come from within the race itself. The monkey wrench of destruction as thrown into the cog of Negro Progress, is not thrown so much by the outsider as by the very fellow who is in our fold, and who should be the first to grease the wheel of progress rather than seeking to impede it.” – Marcus Garvey

The troubles America is facing financially is mirrored in the officially struggling music industry as the internet has officially disrupted the master/slave relationship that record companies enjoyed with their artists. They are struggling to devise a way to continue to exploit young artists but in the meantime the playing field has been leveled again allowing independents to carve out a niche for themselves through Social Media. It is not a sure bet with the music industry for independents but they enjoy equal opportunity for exposure thanks to the internet.

What our young brothers represent in the re-emerging Hip Hop scene is a raw fearlessness, a new sense of creativity, an appreciation for their story which has been hidden from them, the vision to want to create their own reality and a swagger that tells the world that no matter what, “We Are The Sh1t.”

This is why we are so dangerous. Creativity is once again reigning supreme and we have to spread it to every aspect of our existence. We believe in ourselves thanks to young brothers sharing their talents.

West Coast. The Dirty South. East Coast. Midwest. We doin our thing. The best rises to the top. Fear is gone. Now we are beginning to smarten up.

Our youngsters have shaken that fear and are beginning to realize that we need knowledge to learn of the things that we may be ignorant to. This is happening through Hip Hop as well. It’s great to see it taking shape as a movement.

Named must your fear be before banish it you can. – Yoda, from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Well America is on the ropes but still has a chance to get through this rough period however she has rethink how she handles her former slaves because she can once again redeem herself by investing in this great resource she has abused incessantly. In closing I want to leave you with a sobering quote from:

A Torchlight For America by Minister Louis Farrakhan

America On The Brink Of Anarchy

Without an advocate for the poor, without a new state of mind in America, the country lies on the brink of anarchy. Anarchy is the complete absence of government. It’s a condition of political disorder, violence and lawlessness in the society. We saw signs of it in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict.

Anarchy my await America due to the daily injustices suffered by the people. There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell the truth.

The article below is a reprint from The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in The Fall of America.

The strong-hold of the American government is falling to pieces. She has lost her prestige among the nations of the earth. One of the greatest powers of America was her dollar. The loss of such power will bring any nation to weakness, for this is the media of exchange between nations. The English pound and the American dollar have been the power and beckoning light of these two great powers. But when the world went off the gold and silver standard, the financial doom of England and America was sealed.

The pound has lost 50 percent of its value. America’s dollar has lost everything now as power backing for her currency, which was backed by gold for every $5 note and up. All of her currency was backed by silver, from a $1 note up.

But today, the currency of America is not backed by any sound value - silver or gold. The note today is something that the government declares they will give you the value in return, but does not name what the value is. But they definitely are not backing their currency with silver or gold.

This is the number - one fall, and it is very clear that the loss of the power of the American dollar means the loss of the financial power of America. What will happen since there is no sound backing for her notes we do not know.

What should we expect even in the next twelve months under the fall of the power of America’s dollar? This means that we have 100 percent inflation. What could happen under 100 percent inflation? Your guess is as good as mine. The power of gold and silver was once abundant in America. But the touch of the finger of God against the power of so mighty a nation has now caused the crumbling and fall of America.

We can easily and truthfully liken the fall of America to the prophetic symbolical picture given in the (Bible) Revelation of John 18:2. The name Babylon used there does not really say whether it is ancient Babylon or a picture of some future Babylon.

The description it gives is as follows:

“And he (angel) cried mightily with a strong voice (with authority) saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen and is become the habitation of devils, (Allah has declared the people to be a race of devils) and the hole of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” The description here give to the Babylon by the prophets compares with the present history and people of America and their fall.

The picture shows the cause of her fall. Number one, she had become the habitation of devils, and being the habitation of devils makes her a haven for every people that love the works and doings of the devil. Here the prophet refers to them, symbolically, as being a hole of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

People are referred to as birds, snakes, beasts, fish and other animals to tell or represent the characteristics of that person. It is universally known that the very beginning of the American people was from the lower class of European people. And their first ruler (President Washington) was a fugitive from England. And the common, dissatisfied and lower grade of European people followed and boosted his authority. This filled and inhabited America with a very low class and low-based people.

And then this type of people went into Africa and purchased slaves from among our people who were also uneducated, most of them; but there were a few who were highly educated. All of these began to mix with the low-based, evil-minded, real citizens of the Western Hemisphere (whites). And when America began to get strong in power, she opened her doors to the underprivileged (laborers) in overpopulated countries such as China, Japan, and in Europe to seek citizenship in America.

This brought into America one of the most mixed people, who were granted the freedom to live any kind of life they chose. They were not forced to serve the God of the universe who made heaven and earth nor any religion. They had freedom of worship. This made America a haven for any people who wished to be free of the compellers of religion and just rule and authority. This people for the past five hundred years have put into practice every evil that is imaginable.

The freedom of uncleanliness is granted and is worshiped. The percentage of sexual worship of the same sex is greater than any government on the face of the earth. Little children are being taught sex almost from the cradle, making the whole nation, as one man put it, “nearly 90 percent freaks of nature.”

It is common to see on the streets of any metropolitan city of America men sweet hearting with men and women sweet hearting with women. Little boys with boys and little girls with girls.

It is common that a decent family is puzzled as to where to send their children for schooling. There are no all girl schools as there once were. They are all girls schools of sweethearts; the same sex falling upon their own. Boys’ colleges are breeding such filthy practice; the jail houses, prisons, and the federal penitentiaries are all breeding dens of homosexuals.

As the Prophet says in the 18th chapter; “She is a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.” There are types of hateful birds. This is why a symbolical name is given. It means human beings. There are birds of prey and birds that are unclean such as crows, owls, buzzards and ravens who live and thrive off the carcass of others. And there are unclean people living and thriving off the unclean.

It is time that God intervenes to bring about an end of such people as the wicked of America. She offers the same filth to all of the civilized of the earth, and she hates you if you are against her way of life and will threaten you with death as the Sodomites did Lot and his followers. But I say to you as the 4th verse of Revelations, Chapter 18 says: You that want to be a better people than this, “come out of her.”

The so-called American Negroes are referred to here in the 4th verse as being God’s people (”My people”) Come out of her, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

This is a call to the American so-called Negroes to give up a doomed, wicked people that has destroyed them from being a people worthy of recognition, and who have now become lovers of their enemies and destroyers.

The 5th verse tells us that “Her sins have reached into heaven and God has remembered her iniquities and is ready to destroy her.” Her destruction cometh quickly, according to the 8th verse, that plagues of death, mourning and famines which cometh in one day (one year) then after that she shall be destroyed by fire, utterly burned.”

This is backed up by the words: “Strong is the Lord God who judge her.” Here it gives us a knowledge that He who judges is well able with power, with wisdom, and with deliberate and careful maneuvering to make judgment against her.
