Are you going to the Inauguration?
Within the last week, I have had at least 25 (or more) people ask me if I am going to “The Inauguration.” Several of my relatives asked me if I was going. I asked, “What for?” They looked at me, then they looked at each other, then they looked back at me with this strange look on their faces and said, “For Obama!” That’s when I remembered that the masses of our people do not know what I (and others) know about Obama. So, I told them that I will be there, up close and personal via my television. I further explained to them that I am going to hear every word, see each facial expression, with a better view than the ones sitting closest the stage because the network cameras will have that privilege. And it will only cost me the amount of my monthly cable bill.
Several weeks ago, I told with a friend and co-laborer, Amefika Geuka, about several people in The Afrikan Village that were upset with me because of the things that I said while teaching them what most people do not know about Obama and who he serves. Amefika said that he was taken by the fact the some would be upset with their teacher and spiritual leader (who they know to have taught them the truth for years) over what I said about someone who they know nothing about and never heard of before 2 years ago. Several days later, as I was rethinking Amefika’s words, I painfully admitted the disappointment of having my words of exhortation to my followers and students overpowered by CNN, FOX, C-SPAN, ABC, CBS, NBC, radio show hosts, newspapers, and other media sources. It was as though I watched my people energetically turn from the truth to embrace deception with joy and love. I began to recall the pain of the dedicated ignorance in my people that made me retire from the pulpit in 1993 when I first began proclaiming our Afrikan story.
Thousands of our people are going to spend money that they need to go to Washington, DC for an one-day “EVENT” that will have absolutely nothing to do with our (or their) empowerment. What’s worse is that they won’t even get within 1,000 feet of what it is they are going to see. But they are going to sacrifice much needed funds just so that they can say, “I was there.” It is tragic that we will (without reservation) throw away hundreds to thousands of dollars for an “EVENT” but will not regularly give $25.00 to support an on-going “PROCESS” or “PROGRAM” that exists for the liberation and empowerment of our people! I am trying so hard to understand this psychosis in us.
There is a saying that says, “There is none so blind as he who will not see.” Seeing how excited many of our people are about the Obama Saga caused me to decide to disconnect my emotional attachment to the wrong choices that I sometimes see our people make. I said that I was going to let the blind enjoy their darkness. But, I can’t! It just ain’t in me to do that! And, when the day comes that I can see my people walking into their own destruction and not saying anything about it then that is the day that I want the Almighty and the Ancestors to take me out of here.
I don’t usually post articles from white people on this site because I don’t like to support or foster the idea that truth or information for us has to come from them. This is an area that still needs to be corrected in our minds. For example, when Zeitgeist was released, I received hundreds of email from our people (who had watched Zeitgeist) thanking me for teaching the truth. Now, this was fine, but Zeitgeist was produced by white people! And after watching it many of our people let me know that they were affirmed in what I had said years earlier. One brother said to me, “This (Zeitgeist) is proof that God has sent you to teach us the truth because the movie is saying what you already taught us.” The brother didn’t know it, but he honored and insulted me at the same time. I thanked him because I know that he didn’t mean any harm.
Attached to this email is a link to an article by David Icke entitled, “Obama: The Naked Emperor.” David Icke is one of today’s most notable whistleblowers. If you are willing to see, then I encourage you to read this article.
So that the blind may see…

The scriptures read: You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. Even though I am hoping for a miracle with respect to the Obama Presidency, I need to see some evidence that change is about to take place.
Obama’s Chief-of-Staff, Rom Emmanuel, enjoys dual citizenship in the USA as well as in Israel. What can one deduce from that? And with regard to Israel, once upon a time Jesus’ disciples wanted to call down fire from heaven in order to destroy people who didn’t see things their way.
Jesus rebuked and forbad them from doing so. Today’s equivalent of calling fire down from heaven in the form of American made ‘hellfire missiles…’ by Christian Americans and Jews, should shock our spiritual and human sensibilities. What kind of depraved people would name a missile hellfire, and then turn around and use it. Clearly, neither the leadership in Israel nor in the United States understands the social, morale or human dimension of Christ’s ministry.
Opressed people will react to oppression, as well as to the opressor, black Americans ought to understand that!
Paul was correct when he wrote, Israel has left the righteousness of God, and they have gone about to establish their own righteousness (with the full backing and support of the USA). And President-Elect Obama has pledged his support to AIPAC for this kind of lunacy? It would appear to this observer that the more things have changed, the more they are about to remain the same!
