   I would get out there and protest for the young brothers. If you tell anyone about this story I bet you they can tell who’s the oppostion! The oppostion is the same people who need war, the same people that run this city, the same people who do the biggest crime, the same people that is the beast in Revelations, the same people who kill the most niggas, the same people jews, the same people that run the media and the same people that brain washed us to believe that we were inferior. Ya’ll can call them what you please, I just call them devils!!!

   Niambi - I’ve not seen a Maryland petition…just the one on Color of Change. I’m sure there are others out there as well.

   Master Cedric - thankfully, there are many protests going on around the country as news of this travesty travels the blogs and is now just beginning to be covered by mainstream media.

   In addition, as one who is only a few steps ahead of you, I would caution against investing that much energy into hating another group of people. That is energy that can be used to build the liberating systems that our people need. There are valid points to your argument and of course I know that we wrestle against wickedness in high places, however, those men and women that we both admire used love of their own people as the fueling fire for their liberating activity. May that ethic and our love for God (capital “G”) guide us as well.

   The Roman Empire that killed Yeshua (Jesus) and the early followers of the Way (as the Christians were called) could not stop the Christian movement so they joined it. Early Christianity was as far different as the Christianity of today as the east is from the west. Ever since the Nicene Council creating a Bible (in the 300s AD) and creating an “opiate of the masses” Christianity, it went from being a revolutionary movement to a slavemaster’s religion. Isaiah 14 speaks to the ruler of Babylon, and then speaks to Satan is the real mind behind the ruler of Babylon. Ezekiel 28 speaks to the ruler of Tyre, and then speaks to Satan as the real mind behind Tyre (and the Phoenician empire). Ezekiel 31 implies that Assyria and Egypt were also energized by Satan. Daniel gives talk about the great imperialistic empires - Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome - all of which shall ultimately be struck down by Yeshua the chief cornerstone. In Matthew 4, Satan offers Yeshua the kingdom of this world (because they are his). In the book of Revelations, Pergamos is spoken of as Satan’s seat. Satan operates in this world through the ruling elite. The institutionalized church has done much to handicap black people through telling us that Satan is simply a mystical being while never showing us how Satan deceives us through the powers that be. Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Who is doing this today? When someone speaks of this, they are called a “hater.” Yet, no one calls George Bush a hater (how many lives die as a result of him). No one calls Martin O’Malley a hater. No one calls Sheila Dixon a hater (yet as a result of policies that she pushes), lives are thrown down the drain. The Jenna Six simply shows me that a segment of black thinking that has been thrown out needs to be revived. In an abusive relationship between a male and a female, no one opposes it if they split up. We need to give some black people the option of separation if they choose this. In the Scriptures, the people of God always separated from Babylon or the Babylon of their time. The book of Revelations says, “Come out of Babylon, my people.” 1 John says, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world…” and it concludes that if you love the world the love of the Father is not in you. Show me in Scripture when the people of God were instructed to integrate into Babylon. We are supposed to love our enemies. Again, going back to my example, in an abusive relationship you are to still love the other party but you can love each other at a distance. We need to look deeply at the spiritual lessons contained in the “Matrix.” We need to unplug from the “Matrix” - artificial reality - TV, radio and throw off the devil’s mindset. Get back to our original way. We need a spiritual paradigm shift. This old time, Nicene Council theology has failed, and if you push me, I’ll show you how the powers of this world put together the Bible and manipulated it. The Bible is the greatest book ever written, and contains the deepest spiritual lessons in the universe. No serious minded individual can deny that the Nicene Council was a council of men - not of God. Talk to me about how decisions were made to put books in and keep books out. The United States of America - Babylon of this era - does not secure justice for the black man. I think we need to heed the book of Revelations and come out of Babylon. We need to come out first in our thinking. We need to get back to the original way and study the original intention of the Bible - pre-Nicene Council. I am sorry if I similar to Cedric am not wary of the spook, pitchfork devil told to me in fairytales. I am wary of the Devil that the Native American said had a fork-tongue. I am wary of the Devil that makes wars all over the earth (killing, stealing, and destroying), calling people that speak against it hate teachers. I am wary of the Devil that has corrupted well meaning white people and convinced them that they are better than us. White people are not devils; However, the ruling elite actively worship the devil and represent the living embodiment of evil. Black people have been hurt by the elevation of Martin Luther King’s thinking to the neglect of Malcolm X and more so Elijah Muhammad. We need serious strategy; the Martin Luther King approach has not worked. Is anyone game enough to try another approach?

   I believe that love should be our motive. However, I find it ironic that whenever someone speaks calls the powers that be devils people imply that it is hate teaching. I find it very ironic when no one implies that George Bush is a hate teacher. What about Martin O’ Malley? What about Sheila Dixon? That’s tired. Too often, people have gone to the Malcolm Xs of our community and called them hate teachers, while people drop bombs and murder people all over the earth. Are they hate teachers? For love to be our true motive, let us love as Yahweh loves. Let us see the world as Yahweh sees it. In Isaiah 14, he spoke to the ruler of Babylon and then he began speaking to Satan. In Ezekiel 28, he spoke to the ruler of Tyre (and the Phoenician Empire) and then he began speaking to Satan. In Ezekiel 31, he implies that it is Satan himself that ruled Assyria and Egypt. Satan rules through the powers that be. The Satan that tempted Yeshua (Jesus) offered him the kingdoms of this world. How could he offer it if it did not belong to him? Revelations speaks of Pergamos as Satan’s seat - a principality ruling in this world. Satan actively rules through the ruling elite. He kills, steals, and destroys most effectively through the ruling elite. Why would a wise person not want to discern what comes from Satan? Jenna Six speaks different things to people. In an abusive relationship, it is wise for the abused party to move away from the abuser. Yet, if you advise that to black people, you are attacked. Does not the book of Revelations counsel us to come out of Babylon? Where in Scripture are the people of God advised to integrate into a Babylon or Babylon-like area? Please show me in Scripture. The United States of America - modern day Babylon - has never secured justice for black people. Furthermore, we never truly demand justice. We do not understand truly the justice of the Bible. If we did, we would never praise the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. None of them hold water to the justice standards of the misnomered Old Testament. You cannot compare man’s justice to God’s justice. Those of you that say that America is the greatest country on earth - I am not appealing to you. I am appealing to those that America has been a nightmare and I am saying that you deserve better. Let us pray with Yeshua (Jesus) thy kingdom come (not America’s kingdom). Please let us come out of Babylon my people. First, in thought, unplug from the Matrix - artificial reality of electronics. This is how the Devil has our mind. Give our mind back to God. You are in church for two hours, but watch television for at least ten hours a week. How can I truly love in the midst of that. We need to get back to the pre-Nicene Council Christianity. The perfect example of love was Yeshua. I want the understanding of Him that existed before Constantine and the Nicene Council corrupted the teachings and made this a slavemaster’s, ruling elite’s religion. This religion never speaks and challenges the slavemaster, ruling elite. We as black people are quick to imply that our own speak hate, but do we balance this out with our challenges to the ruling class. Do people ever read the Prophets? By the standards that I hear, they were hate teachers. John the Baptist called his generation a generation of vipers, was he a hate teacher? Martin Luther King wrote a brilliant paper that talked about the two sides of love and talked about “agape” as we commonly think about, and he talked about the meting out of justice as the other side of God’s love. My challenge in the wake of Jenna 6, is that we as black people need to secure justice for ourselves. We need to seriously consider the issue of separation in this abusive relationship. If you do not wish to separate, I still love you and wish no illwill toward you. However, those that wish to separate we have the freedom of choice to do so. I am issuing a clarion call for those that wish to separate. I love Dr. King, but look around Baltimore City his method has FAILED. The Nicene Council Church theology has FAILED. Look at all the churches, and look at all the drug addicts, look at all the drop outs, look at those that seem to have made it (that have empty lives). Baltimore is a preview of hell and the church is a part of the problem. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Babylon means confusion. For myself, I am separating from confusion and the Devils that spread confusion. I am calling on those that feel so led to separate with me. It is the height of insanity for me to watch 100 million of my people killed in the slave trade, 20 million enslaved (worst form of injustice - God is JUST.), countless people enslaved, raped, and sodomized in the prison industrial complex, a military industrial complex that wants to take over the world, and you are still telling me that the devil is a mystery, pitchfork spook. Somebody tampered with your religion and most pastors do not have the heart to speak about. Why is not the book of Maccabees in the Bible? Why did you not not tell me that Yeshua celebrated Hanukkah - a violent tradition of a holiday? Why is the Book of Enoch not in your Bible? Why did you never tell me that the fallen angels came to earth and produced offspring with people that is mentioned in Greek mythology? Why does Paul quote pagan authors on at least 5 occasions (and you thought that this was Scripture)? We have been lied to. We are called to love, but love must be married to truth. I am only asking you to consider that the pre-Nicence Council Christianity might have been a different breed with a different understanding than we currently have. Separation must be a serious part of this discussion. At the very least, we need a spiritual paradigm shift.

   I hope the convicted boy will get a new trial and the public defender that represented him should get disbarred. The prosecutor should get disbarred just like the prosecutor in the Duke University case. Think about it. If a prosecutor could get disbarred for prosecuting white college students for raping a black woman, and a determination was made that it was a bad case (I’m still not completely convinced), then this prosecutor should be disbarred fro persecuting, I mean, prosecuting, these black high school students. All organizations for justice, black and white, should work to get these boys freed, including all of the black lawyers and politicians.

   First I wanna state my position on the oppostion(white folks). I am not a racist nor do I advocate any form of racism! I love everyone on planet Earth. I may not love everyone in the same way, but I cherish, appreciate, and learn from every experience that I have had with some one of another ethnicity. When I put my thoughts on faithinactiononline my only intent is to challenge the minds of my brothas and sistas. Unlike alot of our local black activist/leaders, I believe we can empower and uplift our people without throwing slander to and/or putting down the white race. Essentially all we are doing is bringing the white race down to our level. That is not healthy. We can empower without disempowering. We as a people have excepted being less than. We except what ever is given to us without passing any judgements or asking any questions. I think that the only soultion to this drastic problem is seperation. To me, integration is the worse thing that ever happend to the “lost people”/black race. We were better off being segregated. The churches during segregation was the strenghth of the community. When you payed attention in church you learned alot about the Creator. If you pay attention in churches now, you can learn how to pimp women and con people out of there money. During segregation, the entire community parented the child. With integration, a child is considered lucky to have one parent. During segregation, elders were respected and cherish for their wisdom. Nowadays some elders are afraid to come outside. The ones who are brave enough to come outside are targets. In the past month we have had two women over 65 raped. Raped!!! Also during segregation we ran our schools. We may not have had materials, but teachers were rich in education and the discipline field. Nowadays the majority of teachers consider themselves lucky when they get 1 student that has discipline and is teachable. This is not the way things are suppose to be. Why are the schools where the enrollment is majority black, run by white males?!?? How many schools where the make up is at least a third white, have curriculums made up by black males? Equal rights?!?? Who? The webster defintion of equal is identical. Are the teachings of the whites and the blacks identical?!?
