Story Archives 2015

It was a hot day and me and Deecolonize Academy went to a rally at City Hall. It was about the Beast on Bryant st.,RAD,Super-sizing SOMA and the Monster in the Mission. My class mates were all interviewing different leaders in all of these struggles.

I got an interview with a man named Raymond Castillo from SOMCAN. He told me why he was there, he said, ''We are taking over City Hall because we are not sell outs and we wont let them sell us out.''. Another thing that he said was, ''There are lot of lower and middle class people around where I live and building all these luxury condos is not the solution.'' And the last thing he said is that, ''The city should make real affordability of houses to prioritized the people instead of the profit.''

Super-sizing SOMA aka 5M will impact the Filipino community on the south of market because the 5M project will be 50,000 square feet. 

My opinion on all of this displacement that is happening is that its wrong and sick to put people on the streets so that some people can make huge profits.

Editors Note- Deecolonize Academy's Revolutionary Youth Media Education(RYME) class and POOR Magazine family re-ported and sup-ported on the huge rally called The City Takes City Hall on September 10th.. As low-income students of color these issues impact all of our children and their families so not only are they learning multi-media, writing and journalism, they are also learning how to resist the endless attack on their communities.

Leroy Moore:  Today I’m interviewing Neenah Gemini Caldwell of Minn who is the sister of Abrams who is a Black teen with a visual impairment and autistic.  Tell us about your brother and family first then we will get into what happened on Monday Aug 31/15..

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: My brother is just like any other teen except he just need an extra push. He is very outgoing , loves video games, his family and especially his nephew. 

Leroy  Moore:  I’m also Black and have a physical disability and has been profiled by cops also.  Reading on what happened to your brother it looks like he was profiled by police at first that led to another situation.  Can you tell us what happened to your brother on that day?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Really can't speak on much but he was stopped I guess because he was playing on trks and because he didn't have an identification that's when things went downhill. 

Leroy Moore:  I’ve heard over and over from advocates that police need more training.  Do you think that what happened to your brother goes deeper than training if so what do you want to see come out of this?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: I want the police who did this to my brother badges removed. They could have went different routes to resolve this matter. 

Leroy Moore:  This has been a third case that I know of of Black disabled teen that have been abused by cops that lead to having seizures.  Beyond training what can the community request like some kind of doctor/nurses when police are called or something?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: They can get actual physically training with handling Disabled adults. If they had the proper raining once again none of this would've occurred. Why couldn't they simply just asked his two friends questions.?

Leroy Moore:  Have you gotten support from the disabilityBlack community and police brutality activists/groups?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Yes , my family and I thank everyone for there support. 

Leroy Moore:  In one article, Maria Caldwell, Marcus’ mother was quoted “ Autism is not a crime!” Do you think it is up to our, Black & disabled  communities to not only focus how the police can change but how pour communities and movements need to change and support the work of Black disabled activists’ work on police brutality and other issues?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: I feel that police officers just need to understand not everyone is perfect. There are people out here that has disabilities that can't do everything the normal person does. They need an extra boost. 

Leroy Moore:  Do you think that there needs to be more programs for Black disabled youth and teens like mentor programs so they can see themselves, their culture i.e. Black & disability culture in the community?  Do you think that would help the hush hush around disability and build a sense of pride in Black disabled youth and young adults?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Yes , I feel they should have more activities for the disabled to do. 

Leroy Moore:  How are his two friends who were with him holding up after what happened?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell:   His two friends are still kinda debased about the situation. They sticked by my brother side through this hard time. 

Leroy Moore:  After all of this, what do you see as justice for your brother and for other Black disabled young adults?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: I just want things like this to stop happening not only to my brother but everyone. They should be no reason that a police officer should brutally attack anyone.

Leroy Moore:  Have you gotten support from Black Lives Matter and other police brutality groups?  If so do you think they would benefit from disability training or more Black disability activists?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Yes, I think they would benefit from both. If we had more disability training then we can have others out here helping and directing to the things thats necessary. 

Leroy Moore:  How can other activists help to get justice for your brother?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Just continue doing what they have been which is reaching out to us , sharing the picture and connecting us to people. 

Leroy Moore:  Anymore that you like to add?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: I want to thank each and every person who's been in boxing , calling , and texting us. 

Leroy Moore: How can the public stay in contract with you and your brother?

Neenah Gemini Caldwell: Facebook or email.

Editors Note: Jose is one of several power-FUL PNNPlantation prison correspondents who was involved in the Hunger Strike to end all solitary confinement and the in-human treatment of all of our incarcerated brothers and sisters.

This book was edited by a long time member of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP). So this book serves as the current SWP line on the Chican@ nation. The Editor even goes so far as saying that the documents which make up this book are SWP’s “Program for Chicano Liberation”.

The book is laid out in five sections. Each section is a separate document. The first part is from an article which Antonio Camejo wrote, who was a one-time SWPer, it is titled “The Forging of an Oppressed Nationality”. This is a basic history of Chican@s going back from the Aztecs and Spanish colonization, to the land grab of 1848, pig riots on Zootsuiters, Bracero program, World War 2 and the creation of the Community Service Organization (CSO). It stops at around the 1950’s for the most part. It explains some of the discrimination and national oppression that affected Chican@s and lists some of the liberal reformist groups that arose within the Chican@ nation at the time, oddly Camejo did not list any of the more revolutionary groups of the time. The book states that this section is a resolution adopted by the twenty-fourth national convention of the Socialist Workers Party in August 1971.

The second part of the book titled “The struggle for Chicano Liberation” traces the rise of the Chican@ movement starting in the 1960’s they dedicate one page each to give a brief explanation on the Farm Worker’s Movement, The Chican@ Nationalist Movement, the land-grant movement, Crusade for Justice, The Chican@ student Movement, The Chican@ Moratorium and a half of a page was used on Chicanas.

One thing that jumped out in the second part and which showed the SWP error is their emphasis on the “Chicano independent electoral politics”. That they speak positively on Chican@s becoming involved in the imperialist ballot scam is ideological poison. Rather than spending years or decades attempting to guide Chican@s into the Amerikkkan ballot box we should be organizing our nation to understanding that it is a joke to participate in the bourgeois elections and create forms of power in the barrios. Our precious time should be spent on creating programs at this stage, these programs should aim to get the Raza to reach our short term goals and push us closer to our long term programs.

We need liberation schools and revolutionary collectives in every barrio. We need a cadre in every city and we need to revolutionize the barrios to grasp that Amerikkka is the enemy, not a source of political freedom.

We need a strong revolutionary press, a developed youth brigade, an inter-connected network of Chican@ committee’s in every barrio, then we can develop a Chican@ political party, but not to participate in bourgeois politics, rather to prepare the Raza for the future seizure of power. These are things that we should build in the nation.

SWP calls those who would rather spend our time on these more fruitful forms of struggle “Ultra Left” for not wanting to take the ballot box approach. This is because compared to the reformist Trots we are Left of them, but most revolutionaries are Left of Amerikkka.

At one point in the second part of the book, the author states in a Ten point program for Chican@’s. It states Chican@s have a right to self-determination all the way up to forming an independent state of Chican@s “collectively” choose to do so. This is in point one “self-determination”. But then in point six under “Election laws” it states in part…”Repeal all state election laws that restrict the participation of independent Chicano candidates and parties in local, state and federal elections”…So on the one hand they are saying Chican@s have the right to independence and on the other they are demanding that Chican@s be allowed to participate in the bourgeois elections.

In a REAL program for Chican@ liberation we won’t demand to be a part of Amerikkka’s politics, rather we will demand to be a part of Chican@ revolutionary politics which means we want to pull the plug on bourgeois politics not participate or help build them.

The third part of the book is titled “Chicano Liberation Report To the 1971 SWP Convention”. The book states this “report was given by Antonio Camejo to the August 1971 convention of the Socialist Workers Party”. Throughout the book I was reading pretty basic history of Chican@s, they hid their Trotskyite view very well. But here in part three they say in part…”we can confidently say that both black and Chicano nationalism are here to stay, not only until the Socialist revolution but also after the American working class comes to power”.

In this paragraph Camejo exudes Trotsky out of his brown pores like foul waste. Camejo attempts to suggest that the labor aristocracy will seize power. As things exist today the labor aristocracy will be the ones fighting the revolutionaries attempting to protect imperialism which is where they get their crumbs. Here Camejo displays his true beliefs, where he does not see himself as a Chicano, rather as a part of Amerika.

This same Amerikan “working class” is what has helped to fuel Chican@ resistance to generations of oppression within Aztlan, often arising in the good ole’ Amerikkkan workplace. Camejo’s “vision” for Chican@ Nationalism is that it will be around when him and white “workers” supposedly come to power. Notice that he did not say when Chican@s come to power, but when white “workers” come to power.

Amerikkkan “workers” today are fighting for more of the profits that imperialism takes out of the belly of the Third World. So these Amerikan “workers” are moving in the opposite direction of seizing power. Comrade Wiawimawo hit it on the head in an article saying…

“But revolutionary organizing must not rally the petty bourgeoisie for more money at the expense of the global proletariat. Besides, even in the earliest days of the Russian proletariat Lenin had criticisms of struggles for higher wages” (1).

The fact that Camejo suggests that First World Elite “workers” would somehow give it up to go all the way shows his idealism and exposes his Trotsky thought. As Wiawimawo pointed out, even Lenin criticized the struggle for higher wages back in the broke era of Russia. We should be struggling to re-build our nations, not to build Amerika’s economy.

As I said before the beginning of this book was veiled in its political line, but Camejo the Chicano Tom exposes himself more and more as you read. On page 91 he attacks Chican@ revolutionary groups. He calls the original Brown Berets and the Chicano Revolutionary Party “conscious adventuristic”. These groups he defines as “Ultra-Left”.

The original Brown Berets were for creating free clinics, newspapers, liberation schools and free food programs. They were for mobilizing the Chican@ nation and protecting the barrios from state repression. These were things that the SWP and their ilk were not – and are not – doing for the Chican@ nation, and yet for this they are branded as “Ultra-Left” and “adventuristic”.

Camejo attacks the original Brown Berets and the Chicano Revolutionary Party (which changed its name to the Raza Revolutionary Party) on page 92 where he says…”Groups such as the Brown Berets, in most places, and the Raza Revolutionary Party attempt to substitute a small vanguard for the mass mobilization of the Chicano community”. He goes on to say that they “project armed struggle by small groups”.

The fact that the original Brown Berets saw the need for a vanguard or cadre group shows they were more advanced politically than SWP who in the 1970’s had an aboveground multi-national party where about half of its members were probably FBI agents or informants of some type. The original Berets were also open to informants, but they at least understood that a full-fledged party was not viable above ground.

Camejo criticized the Raza Revolutionary Party (RRP) for its serve the people programs. He first says “the RRP counterposes a ‘serve the people’ counterinstitutionalism” and goes on to say “feeding the masses” (usually about thirty children) they take the capitalist government off the hook”.

He would not feed starving Chican@ children because according to Camejo that’s the Government’s job. I would argue that it is the duty of the Chican@ nation to be as self-reliant as possible and get the people to organize independent institutions outside of Amerika’s influence. This is nation building, it’s something Camejo and other Tom’s do not understand.

At one point on page 92 Camejo even says that the Brown Berets of East L.A. “Use a lot of ultra-Left Maoist rhetoric” but never explains exactly what he’s talking about, which seems to be reflective of Camejo’s “critiques” which lack substance, never once for example does Camejo explain how he has attempted to work with these groups to advance. The fact that Chican@ groups such as the original Brown Berets and the RRP recruited from and worked largely with Chican@ Lumpen shows that even back then these groups understood the social conditions within the U.S. and where the revolutionary potential was at, again they prove they were more advanced than SWP in that sense. It is known that such groups attracted extreme forms of repression from the FBI and cointelpro, it also displays that they really did pose a threat to U.S. imperialism.

The fourth section of the book is titled “The Crises of American Capitalism and the Struggle for Chicano Liberation” which the book states is a resolution that was “adopted by the Twenty-Eighth National Convention of the Socialist Workers Party in August 1976”. This was the longest section of the book and while much of this section is spent touting the need for “an independent Chicano political party”, what to do with this party according to the SWP is to participate in the U.S. bourgeois elections. It claims to want to build such a party for a future Socialist revolution, but the steps that they promote taking only lead the people away from Socialist revolution.

The fifth and final section of the book is titled “Chicano Liberation Report to the 1976 SWP Convention” and it is basically a summation of the previous documents. This book was interesting to learn of the SWP’s line on the Chican@ nation which is to participate in the imperialist bourgeois elections while hoping that this will advance Chican@s closer to liberation – which is a big mistake. Our advancement as an oppressed nation will come from organizing outside of bourgeois politics. Re-building our nation is what will advance us the most, and this means that we build independent institutions which guide Aztlan closer to the day we create a revolutionary party which prepares to seize power not partake in bourgeois ballots.

Notes:

(1)   “Raise the Minimum wage to $2.50”, by Wiawimawo, Under Lock & Key, Jan/Feb, 2014, Issue Number 36.

“The planning commission has the power to make decisions,”said Juana, an organizer at a huge protest held in September against more Monsters in the Mission and Beasts on Bryant streets

'“Im out here today to make sure the next generation has a future,”she continued.

I talked to Juana while me and Deecolonize students were at City hall apart of a very big protest against the gentrification. Gentrification is when people landlords kick them out because they can make more money on their apartments

“We know right now that they (planning commission) are doing things for the interest of people with money,”.

I agreed with what she said cause I'm worried about my friends and family and neighbors cause we don't want these devil-opers to kick us out of our homes.

With everything that has been going on lately in my life , I am just realizing that my picture is on every major news outlet that I can think of, Yes that is me that you see in the many pictures floating around the internet with world renowned movie director Quentin Tarantino , Holding a banner of my loved one . but what you may not know is the story behind why I was marching that day in New York and why I continue to fight for Justice for Mario Romero.

My brother Mario Romero was murdered by Vallejo Police officers Sean Kenney and Dustin Joseph on September 2, 2012 As he sat in in front of his home. He wasn't suspected of committing a crime, he wasn't in the process of committing a crime and he wasn't wanted for committing a crime but this didn't prevent him from being blinded by a bright light and attacked with a hail of bullets, neither did this prevent one of the officers from jumping onto the hood of my brothers car and repeatedly unloading his weapon.

My brother Mario was shot 30 times , He was shot 8 times through
the palms of his hands, he was shot in his face and in his mouth, shattering his beautiful white teeth. He was shot through his wrists and underneath his arms, he was shot in his chest and along the side of his body once it fell over. his last words were " We have our hands up". He held his hands up until the life was stolen from his body. All of this in front of his family who begged for them to stop, telling officers that they had the wrong person.

My brother Mario's body was then cut from his seatbelt and his corpse was placed under arrest. His hands zip-tied and bags placed on his hands. His body stolen from the scene of the crime and a police issued training weapon was planted inside of his car, by the officer who killed him.

Other officers of the Vallejo Police Department held my family members hostage and at gun point , threatening them with death. They laughed and joked like this horror movie that they forced upon us was a game. They changed the crime scene. Vallejo police corporal Stan Eng assisted in the planting of the police issued gun and stealing the seatbelt that my brother was cut from. each officer at the scene played a part in covering up this crime. one was tasked with distracting onlookers and family members, (Thompson) While the gun was brought into the crime scene, One Vallejo Police officer was tasked with repeatedly extending the crime scene to make it difficult for anyone to see the exchange. One officer was supposed to secure the crime scene but watched the exchange and contamination and failed to speak up (Andre Charles Former Cal Maritime Police Officer). 

My brothers body was taken from the crime scene and hidden from my family, Taken to a Kaiser hospital where Vallejo Police officers were given unlimited access to his body while we were denied the right to identify his body or see what they had done to him because victims of police murder are denied that right. His body was hidden for 30 days.

Vallejo Police created a lie , stating that although my brother wasn't suspected of committing a crime, he was the only person that they seen on the street that night and they wanted to make contact with him. They lied stating that he got out of his car and pointed a fake gun at them while screaming that he wasn't going back to prison. (He had never been to prison before).

His car was old and his seatbelt was broken, (he tied it in a knot to prevent a seatbelt ticket) His car door was broken (He had to open it from the outside in order to exit).

They said that he used his door as a shield, shooting and running to the back of his car, then getting back inside of his car. ( He never left his car) , He was trapped inside of his seatbelt when he was pumped full of bullets. His body was cut from that seatbelt when the officer tried to remove him but could figure out why his body was stuck.

When my brother died, his biggest fear was getting a seatbelt ticket.
( He was killed while parked in front of his home)

Our statements were refused by The Solano County District Attorney's office , they claimed that their office wasn't equipped to take witness statements then finished the conversation with the following statement ("you have your lawyers and we have ours"),although we were not represented by any lawyer and were seeking their help with this crime. The Vallejo Police Department refused to take witness statements for weeks

Vallejo Police Changed their stories 5 times in 3 days, They finally settled on one story at the end, claiming that officers Sean Kenney and Dustin Joseph went to check out a Burglary call that night.( this call had been sitting in the que for 19 hours) , They forget to mention that Vallejo Police didn't respond to burglary calls in 2012. 

Vallejo Police Officer Sean Kenney murdered 3 unarmed men with white cars in 2012 , His last victim murdered on the day that my brother was buried. He was not indicted, he was not charged with a crime, instead he was promoted to detective and put in charge of officer involved shootings, his partner in crime was recently nominated as officer of the year.

Both of these police officers have long histories of abuse and millions of dollars have been paid out to settle their crimes on the Vallejo community. These officers changed their stories in depositions proving that Mario Romero was murdered but the District Attorney has failed to inquire or mention that Sean Kenney's has close family employed by the Solano County District Attorney's office (O'Bryan Kenney).

My brother Mario Romero was full of life and love, he never met a stranger. He was kind, peaceful and non-provoking. When he was murdered by Vallejo Police his character was demonized by them. They made a conscious decision to tell lies to the media, attempting to cover their crimes and diminish the worth of his life. he should be here today, a lively 27 year old young man enjoying life, having children and thriving but he is not. His life was stolen and that is why I fight, everyday for his justice.

I commend Mr. Tarantino for standing with us during our continued fight for justice and not backing down under pressure from the predictable bullying and intimidation that is the core, culture and the way of life for not only American Police but police around the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Lady P

My name is Lady P

Better known as Pectoral

My third eye is what you see

I am the opposite of pandora

Through insight in every light

I diagnose breast cancer

From tears of fright to delight

I seek out the best answer

Prevention and remedy is the key

To eradicating the malignant disease

Our spirit have to be free

To keep our minds at ease

As the body mature in age

Gene mutation take on different forms

We must think like a sage

And transcend all cancer related norms

Now is the moment to seriously act

For tomorrow may be too late

Let screening prove whatever fact

That can revolutionize our nobly fate

Time to Timeless

Mission Statement

            We are a creative company of ideas and inventions that transcend the norm.  Our pursuit is the awakening and upliftment of humanity.  Our products and services are presented to enhance the human spirit.  We welcome everyone in our journey from a state of time to timeless. 

Eightball Black Presidents

Mission Statement

            Our pronouncement of the Eightball Black Presidents of the United States is not in celebration of them.  Matter of fact, it is a reflection of who they were in contrast to what historians made them to be.  The seven black presidents before Obama were Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Hannibal Hamlin, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Dwight Eisenhower.  Some of these presidents acknowledged their black heritage, whereas others denied it.  The images surrounding the eight black presidents are facts that blacks endured at the hands of the American system.  Most of history is unknown to the ublic but once revealed it becomes an eye opener to other mysteries clothed in lies. 

            The struggle and freedom of black people in America is ongoing and strong.  We are a beacon to the world.  Our light and voices can never be extinguished through the passage of time, for wisdom is at the root of our existence. 

History Tree

Mission Statement

            The tree itself is symbolic to black people’s strong rooted history in self-preservation throughout America.  Governmental obstacles designed to keep us subservient to the capitalist few has always been our reality.  Like the tree in all seasons, we give life and nourishment under all conditions.

            Our perpetual growth in spirituality and creativity is the soil that gives substance to the world.  The image of Africa dripping blood symbolizes the death and genocidal conditions of her people by imperialistic, domestic and foreign powers.  As our ranks tighten around freedom and independence, so will our fight for them by any means necessary.

Bald Eagle

Mission Statement

            The bald eagle represents the United States government.  Its breastplate make the bulging prison industry with people of color being the majority in attendance.  In its talons are victims of a racist judicial system that is blind to equality.  The ribbon in its mouth reads in Latin UNUS VOX/DIFFERENS MENS.  The english version is ONE VOICE/DIFFERENT MINDS, which translate as the seat of the presidency having one voice independent of the individual that sits upon it.  The different minds refer to the individuality and personality of each president that lives in the shadow during his reign in office.

            To overcome the victimization of the eagle is to see its true purpose in our lives as a predator.  The understanding of the realization has its own action, whose voice is the battlecry of transformation unconditionally.

Scale of Injustice

Mission Statement

            The scale has always been tilted to represent inequality on all levels since its inception.  At the hands of the government, we are targeted and being murdered at an alarming rate.  Grand scale cover-ups in the system from state liability maes the practice an open season for such cruel activity.  This scale is known as justice in America.  Its existence is rooted in deception, where stereo type views are the first reaction to a situation.

            There need to be realiment of the scale for balance to emerge, for without it systematic genocide will continue to reign dominate among our ranks.  Rhetoric that justify such savagery is totally absurd.  It is like the villain being perceived as the victim.

Mission Statement

            Among women, breast cancer is the most common solid tumor and is second only to lung cancer in terms of cancer-related mortality.  The risk of breast cancer correlates with socioeconomic status.  The lifetime risk in the United States for developing invasive breast cancer is approximately 1 in 8 women and is among the highest in the world.

            There is not enough information being circulated in the public that reveal remedies and preventions to breast cancer.  As for the younger generation, they are not taught on their level the significance of learning about breast cancer in all its manifestations.  As well, a large percentage of people with breast cancer are homeless, without medication, drug depended, victims of domestic violence, unaware of their disease, eating foods that make their condition worst and suffering from psychological breakdowns lasting a lifetime.

            Time to Timeless, LLC has created Pectoral, which is a breast cancer ribbon game that can be played by children and adults.  Also, she can be played in association with other forms of cancer.  She have encyclopedia knowledge and speaks multiple languages.  She is magical in other ways that has yet to be revealed.  Her endeavors are threefold: enlightenment, motivation and remedy.  Most of her proceeds will go towards assisting individuals stricken with breast related cancer, donating to cancer related organizations and movements, research, health education and domestic violence establishments.

            Education, awareness and sharing is the key to understanding.  Come join us and help us become an instrument of salvation for those inflicted with cancer and victims of domestic violence.  Your assistance, involvement and donations provides a means for a cancer free tomorrow and light on what causes it.

As well as our never-ending domestic Human Rights struggles.  For True Economic Freedom, Social Justice, and our stop Torture in American Prisons campaign.  And the Time has come for the Ecumenical Body of Jesus Christ/ and all of our other Faith-based believers to participate in an open/ and Honest discussions.  In regards to the Greatly Evil history, purpose, and a clearly identifiable lists of openly Anti-Christian Human Conditions.  That has been Revealed under the below Bible-based working title: “…Welcome to Crescent City, CA.  Home of, …The Judds (snitch) Factory…”

The Pelican Bay Human Rights Movement and the PBHRM's First Amendment Campaign Presents:

Part Two:

In The Spirit of Proverbs 29:18

The Art of Resistance Movement

(Sub-Title: An Open Call to Action! To the multi-million numbers of our Ecumenical Christian Church Communities/and all of our other Faith-based communities).

Greetings my Sisters and Brothers: My name is minister Baba Yafeu Iyapo-I. I am a captive Nazarite Christian Learned Elder. Whom has spent over 23 years being falsely imprisoned inside of the openly Anti-Christian Human Torture Chambers of both PBSP (SHU-Units). Plus, a new police state Networks of Domestic (CMU-Units). And if we pause to critically analyze and compare the below faith-based working title; Welcome to Crescent City, CA. Home of...”The Judas (Snitch) Factory...” To the Four below strategies of our collective:

1.            Secular and political work.

2.            Religious and faith-based work

3.            Economic freedom and social justice work

4.            Our Stop Torture in American Prisons campaign work.

We will find that from 1989 to 2013 a mass number of both captive and non-captive men, women, youth, and elected legal advocates have never ever been correctly provided either hands on nor online access to the previously missing master keys of our most effective bodies of sacred laws, words, and biblical economics-based collective problem solving strategies.

As such pursuant to the vital unity of purpose of part one of the A-R-M's mission statement- The goal of our open call to action is to actively invite the multi-million numbers of our faith-based communities to utilize the below Bible-based blueprints to help achieve each of the four key above examples of our captive and non-captive domestic human rights movement activist solutions.

“The Universal Declaration of Religious Rights”

The church in each place must be free to define the mission it believes it has received from God. Likewise, individual Christians and other Believers must be free to practice their faith in whatever manner they deem necessarily commensurate with their not violating the same freedom of others. In addition, we affirm the understanding of Religious Freedom, embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and other International covenants. While some actions taken in the name of religious rights may be ambiguous and will have to be addressed on a case by case basis. We believe that Religious Rights include the following:

1.            Every person has the right to determine his/her own faith and creed according to conscience.

2.            Every person has the right to his beliefs to express his religious beliefs in worship, teaching, and practice: and to proclaim the implications of his beliefs  for relationships in a social and productive community.

3.            Every religious organization formed and maintained has the right to determine its policies and practices for the accomplishment of its chosen purpose. Which implies the right:

a. To assemble for the unhindered private and public worship.

b. To formulate your own creed.

c. To give religious instruction to its youth: including preparation for ministry.

d. To preach its message publicly.

e. To receive into its membership those who destine to join it.

f. To carry on social services and to engage in missionary activity both at home and abroad.

g. To organize local congregation.

h. To publish and circulate religious infrastructure.

i. To control the means necessary to its mission and to secure support for its work at home and abroad.

j. To cooperate and unite with other believers at home and abroad.

k. To determine freely the qualifications for professional leadership of religious communities, freely naming their leaders at all levels and designating their work assignments.

Closing: If you are mutually interested in re-learning  “What Would Jesus Do?” To help self-remedy our most common family, social, and economic survival problems in general and each of the four key examples ofo ur collective activist work in particular- Please feel free to contact us at our enclosed prison letter mail contact address.

Series C. No. #0002

As people mourn the horrific bombings all over Mama earth it is disgusting to note that due to White Supremacy ruling the world even global mourning is racialized. More prayers seem to be sent "Up" for European (Paris) folks just like more people seem to mourn school shootings with white students while black babies, children and elders are profiled, violated and shot by empire armies (Po'Lice) in this already stolen land (United Snakkkes) while hundreds of Syrian, Iraqi, Afghani and Beirut children, mothers and elders have been killed over the last year under the lie of Isis.

Yes i said lie of Isis, it is an empire crafted concept befitting a Star Wars sequel and yet millions of people seem to believe it. The maasive perceived belief isn't a testament to its realness, its a testament to its successful multi-layered, CIA scarmbled, kkkorporate and Hollywood media crafted cocktail of pay-offs, pay-rolls, Halliburton "re-devil-opment"  re-building contracts, security teams and complex, billion dollar propaganda supporting it so completely that it seems so real it must be real. Right?

Hegenomy as History
The lie, action and reality of Isis is now even "believed" and carried out by many of the peoples themselves, and perhaps like all identification with the oppressor acts such as poor  folks and people of color working as security guards to arrest, incarcerate, tase and kill our own people for a $10 dollar an hour salary, Isis now becomes a "real" threat. So deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of us all that we react to it rather than the roots of it.

This is hard when people are dying, everywhere. But it really isn't that different from amerikkklan po'Lice lies of sekkkurity that even those of us who risk being killed, maimed or perpetrated still call the po"lice to solve our problems, because we have all been so consistently taught to believe it is real.

What can we do?
First of all connect the dots to EVERYONE you speak to. Blog about it- Face-crak post about it , tweet about it.  Follow the money of corporate contracts in these "war-torn" places that we tore up and write old school letters to your poltricksters to not keep funding these fascist money-hungry "wars". Believe it or not they have to clock your letters and although the new plan of having people seemingly kill "themselves"  seems to scramble the truth, we can continue to connect the dots. And blood-stained dollar boycotts do matter so do them of the thousands of multi-national companies that are making money off everyone everywhere- big props to the Boycott, DIvest and Sanction (BDS)movement of Israel.

Finally, I hope that  BlackLivesMatter leaders would consider a global messaging perspective- like #BlackLivesMatterAcrossMotherEarth, to help connect these killing and liberating dots for all of the victims of these Empire killing machines
