Trump Declares Jim Crow - Notes from the Inside

pWhen future terrorist acts occur, they will be used by the power elite to cause the public ldquo;voluntarilyrdquo; to request greater control over peoplersquo;s minds and bodies here in Amerikka by the power elite for security of all in the form of a one world government (and religion). Religion is another form of government because it controls the way people think. In 1919, the American Baptist Publication society published Samuel Zane Bottenrsquo;s emThe New World Order/em, in which henbsp; pronounced: ldquo;We have vindicated the right of social controlhellip;the state must socialize world patriotism. World patriotism must be a faithrdquo;. Botten then called for a federation of nations, and said that men ldquo;must see and affirm that above the nation is humanity. Internationalism must first be a religion before it can be a reality and a system.rdquo; Trump, his power elite, does not honor Jefferson and Madisonrsquo;s speech in 1800 and 1779 when they said there shall be a wall of separation between church and state. Trump wants a wall of separation between Muslims and Christians. The U.S. of Amerikka is supposedly a Christian state. According to CNN, a muslim couple, Syed Farook and wife TashFeen Malik, left their 6 month old daughter with Farookrsquo;s mother. They carried assault rifles, pipe bombs, and killed 14 of Farookrsquo;s co-workers at a holiday party in San Bernadino CA. Their attack was similar to Neo-Nazi German Jews in 1941, when they invaded Palestine in brutal force just to colonize such land for capitalismrsquo;s use. In 1774 when the British Parliament passed a statute establishing both Anglicanism and Catholicism in Canada, the Continental Congress protested with an ldquo;astonishment, that a British Parliament should ever consent to establish in that country a religion that has deluged England in blood, and dispersed bigotry, persecution, murder, and rebellion through every part of the world.rdquo; We have Catholic, Baptist, Christian (etc.) law enforcement soldiers in the US (in)justice system who carry out these same acts of brutality and violence in their own home, neighborhoods, and communities in the US. And they invade and occupy countries such as Afghanistan, Africa, Iraq, Syria, and Palestine, killing innocent children, adults, and elders. Although the occupiers are portrayed as peacekeepers or promoting of democracy, nothing could be further from the truth. Donald Trump, who I compared to Adolph Hitler because he is trying to single out Muslims by calling them wicked when all religious governments are the same./p pTrump drafted a proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country and to round up and deport 11.5 million lsquo;illegalrsquo; immigrants. Most Christian, German Catholics are illegal immigrants over here in America. Because before any religious people was over here in these countries, there were Indians who are the original people, who called themselves Lenni Lenape, Nanticoke, Mexicans, etc. The histori of Lenni Lenape goes way, way further back than any religion (itrsquo;s older than religion). Nevertheless, Trump just trying to start a religious war over here, causing social and environmental crisis that require bloody repression to enforce, and martial law where the power elite can suspend all your civil rights and constitutional rights, so they can have a one world religion. Therefore we must resolve all our race differences, religious differences, cultural differences as well to protect the little freedom we already have./p pMuswa Green HV5362/p pSCInbsp; Somerset 1600/p pWalter Mill Rd/p pSomerset, PA/p p15510, 0001/p

pBlack Heritage Planning Committee at W.S.P./p pInvitation to Our Juneteenth Celebration/p pGreetings, from ldquo;THE BLACK CONSCIENTIOUS MANrdquo;, and company at W.S.P. We would like to invite you to join us in our annual Juneteenth celebration. Juneteenth, whatrsquo;s that? Juneteenth, is a national holiday celebrated across the U.S. to commemorate the abolishment of uphysical /uslavery in the U.S., starting in Texas June 19, 1865. Due to the default of full Emancipation, Juneteenth today must be revolutionized. What was taught beforehand, no longer applies today. Thus, change is called upon. Yesterday the Nation called for full emancipation and only received the physical application of it. Today, the living conditions of Blacks across the world are declining. Most have not a clue as to why? But the few that arenrsquo;t blind say its due to the Mental Servitude, Blacks are trapped in. So, we the conscious ones, demand that we the people obtain ldquo;MENTAL EMANCIPATION THE NEXT REVOLUTION.rdquo; (Also a written and titled book by: Hykwazet Mooraankhu, coming out to a vendor near you soon. Be on the watch!)/p pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; The theme of our program is ldquo;THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE,rdquo; ldquo;AWAKENING THE MASSES.rdquo; It will be held in the visiting room of the West Complex on June 15, 2016. Our program agenda will be directed towards education Blacks, and the entire world of Black Emancipation, cultural heritage, and hidden legacies. This will be presented through prayer, oratory, presentations, poetry, dance, and song. In addition to offering community intervention and cultural education, the program affords men locked up the opportunity to socialize with the broader community in an effort to establish interaction in preparation for smooth re-entry into society. Our goal is to inspire and motivate men locked up through cultural expression, communication, and community transitioning which we believe will improve accountability in prison and eventually, in the broader community./p pEvent hours will be 11:30pm- 2:30pm this year./p pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Please notify us as soon as possible in regards to whether or not you will be able to attend our program. This will prevent us from any delays in scheduling and getting the necessary clearances. For confirmation please call Linda Finn at (509) 526-6479 or Hykwazet Mooraankyu, at the following address below. If you would like to make a donation, please contact Hykwazet Mooraankyu, so he can best inform you of what the group is most in need of. Donations are accepted all year around.

People got together because of a similar problem that the current minimum wage is not enough for them. They feel like the minimum wage should go up to $15 because it will help small companies and will create more jobs but the minimum wage should not be rushed, it should go up slowly so we would not suffer by other economic cost like rent, bills, clothes, food ect./span/p

Real Estate speculation, city government backroom deals, paper theft, banksters and the endless buying and selling of Mama earth for profit has caused working class, low-income and people of color, mostly African -American communities to lose their long-time homes. Now we are unhoused, Houseless, barely housed or not here at all. And this was just in three months./p p To fight this and show our youth how to fight the system set up to destroy, destabilize and steal from us and Mama Earth we poor and unhoused mamas and uncle poverty skolaz at POOR Magazine launched an investigative WeSearch project with the youth going into the places they create these papers that steal our lives and communities, including the County Tax Assessors office, the Tax Recorders office, The Library Archive of ldquo;Mapsrdquo; , the Planning Dept, The Building Dept and City Hall. Then we met with comrades from Oakland Land Trust, Aunti Frances Love Mission, Land Action and many more to see how they have been fighting and resisting./p p Our goal with this report is to show the way the system supports, enables and causes the removal ofnbsp; working class communities and communities of color with the goal of taking it back, creating our own self-determined solutions to housing and land use and ultimately staying in our hoods, barrios, towns and communities./p p strongOakland Displacements Due to Rent Increases Evictions and Foreclosuresbr / /strong-Over 13,000 homes in Oaklandnbsp; suffered foreclosure between 2007-2011nbsp; 
-1 in 5 houses in Oakland were foreclosed on (see illustrated map)br / Evictions due to Owner Move-in and/ rent increasesbr / nbsp;-Since 2015 there has been a 60% rise in evictions of long-time Oakland residents due to Owner Move-in and Ellis Act evictions ( this is a trick landlords use to evict long-time tenants so they can sell vacant property or raise the rent higher than whats legal

-Val is an elder, part of the community that got evicted
-We went to the tax assessor#39;s office and found out that the owner that ldquo;ownedrdquo; the building owned several other properties in Oakland under different names

- What we found out was that it was owned by the city, which is very suspicious?/p p strongBackground WeSearch By Youth SKolaz on Paper Trails that cause the theft of our lives, homes and communities/strong/p p -Tax Lien Foreclosure salesrsquo; The sale of a property resulting from the property owner#39;s failure to pay tax liabilities. A tax lien foreclosure occurs when the property owner has not paid the required taxes, including property taxes and federal and state income taxes. After 6 months without paying of any liabilities you will lose you home./p p -What this means is most of our black brown people are constantly being evicted because of not being paid enough to even cover one liability and after that happens somone will be left on the streets thinking what I could of done to prevent this./p p A Tax Sale is a public auction of tax deeds and/or tax liens used to recover delinquent real property taxes. That help devilopers getting more income from flipping the houses and getting more money for the actual house was worth and getting profit from a stolen house from some family or a man might be mentally unstable and that house was the only thing that keeps him together and it just got bought and just got sold to another person.br / 
Companies you have to look out for are we buy ugly houses and companies that are involved with flipping houses because every time they buy a house the more developing will happen/p p strong Blight:/strongbr / What is blight? The visible and physical decline of a property or neighborhood or a city due to a combination of economic downturns.Blight is used against poor, Black and Brown communities. By calling in someone with a blight charge you can cause a small business owner or homeowner to lose their home./p p In 2011 a Grand Jury Report found that Oakland#39;s Community and Economic Development Agency used blight code enforcements violations to harass low-income residents for many years while enriching contractors they hired who subsequently returned those favors./p p strongWhat is the impact of blighting?/strongbr / Blighting has caused lot#39;s of people and families to be houseless and East Oakland nbsp;has lots of mass evictions, blighting./p p strong Real Estate Speculation WE BUY UGLY HOUSES/strongbr / ldquo;We Buy Ugly Housesrdquo;, also known as HomeVestors of America, is a national network of real estate investors. They buy houses, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi tenant buildings, and also some commercial properties from owners looking to sell quickly for a cash buyout. When you sell your home to We Buy Ugly Houses yoursquo;ll pay little or no closing cost, and you can receive your payment in as few as seven days. The company ldquo;We buy ugly housesrdquo; is involved with real estate investor this shows that they probably aren#39;t as true to you because real estate agents will just want to buy your house for the lowest amount and they will trick you by telling you things like you will not get more money than this from other people. The company will end up selling the house for double from what it originally cost and they will end up making more money than what you would have received./p p The history of real estate speculation can be related to gentrification and displacement The reason why it can be related is because real estate agents can buy houses that are in communities that suffer from poverty. People who live in neighborhoods are been gentrify because people like this do not make enough money. so what agents do is buy the place, like for example they can try to buy a whole block and bring up the rent prices this makes people want to move out because they are not able to pay for bills and have extra money to survive. Landlords are also displacing people because they want to raise the rent even more. They know that they can make profit out of others, they will want to try to move the people who are suffering from poverty so others with more money can move in and pay the Landlord even more. This affects our community a lot because it makes our familyrsquo;s separate and move to other neighborhoods we are not used to living in./p p strongLLCrsquo;s Limited Liability Corporations- aka the way real estate snakes hide their snaking against poor working class homeowners and renters/strongbr / During the past half-decade, large investors have bought up numerous foreclosed homes in West and East Oakland and have turned them into rental properties that many longtime residents cannot afford. But few landlords own as much property in Oakland as Neill Sullivan, founder of the Sullivan Management Company. In fact, according to Alameda County public records, the Sullivan Management Company currently owns hundreds of homes in the city mdash; nearly all of which are in West Oakland. Anbsp;limited liability companynbsp;(LLC) is the United States-specific form of a private limited company. It is a business structure that combines the pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. They use Llc to not get sude for there illegal evictions./p p strongResistance Tactics for low-income, working class communities of color renters and homeownersbr / /strongAdverse possession is a way to get property in your name. In Roman law they allowed someone who owned something without a title to become the replacement for the real owner if the real owner did not show up. The land registration act 2002 (not the year) said that after ten years the adverse possessor would be able to apply for the ownership for the product or property/p p The way this helps poor and houseless people is that if you occupy an adandoned house, and pay property taxes for five years you can put the paperwork in to own the house. Currently Land Action and the Oakland Land Trust are working on trying to get properties from the City to grant to grassroots, non-profit organizations to ultimately house poor and working class folks in Oakland./p p strongHomefulness/strong- a poor and indigenous peoples self-determined land liberation movement funded entirely through Community Reparations- currently working on a Homefulness project for East Oakland, North Oakland , LA and Salinas. If you are a person with stolen or hoarded wealth please consider enrolling in the upcoming session of PeopleSkool for folks with race, class or formal education privilege to begin the process of redistributing resources to unhoused, low-income and/or 1st Nations people./p p strongDegentrification Zone/strong- Learn how to use the ldquo;mansrsquo; paper against them.

Present were members of POOR Magazine, Krip Hop Project and the Sogorea Land Trust standing strong in unity with several local San Francisco organizations and well-known community members holding it down in song and chant while speaking truth with a deep and powerful vibration sailing in the damp wind as words, poetry, and song, led by the beautiful spirit of the ancestors. This drew a lot of curiosity from those peering out from their perfectly clean windows of greedy grandeur. /p p span class="text_exposed_show"After peacefully walking the streets of Pacific Heights as the sun began to appear, suddenly a wealthy young person came out of her home, wanting to see what she could do to reach out to the community. The walk ended in sunny Potrero Hill, where several community members with economic privilege read their amazing written pieces about how they were going to lsquo;redistributersquo; their trust fund savings in an effort to lsquo;redistribute the wealthrsquo;. This was truly the beginning of lsquo;herstoryrsquo; making indeed!/span/p p In the second walks in Oakland/Piedmont (Huichin), on a very windy and blustery sunny day, prayer and song were heard throughout the neighborhood as all communities walked together to bring attention to the wealthy communities of healing the sickness of wealth hoarding and to redistribute their lsquo;hoarded wealthrsquo;. Many community members from all parts of Oakland (Huichin) were present, including Auntie Frances of North Oakland,/p p As several community members door-knocked on several of the lush and beautiful houses in Trestle Glen (the same area where Hipster mayor Libby Schaaf lives), most people didnrsquo;t answer, however amazinglyhellip;one person did! Dressed from head to toe, clad in his neatly pressed wealthy attire, a man opened his front door and intently listened to the community pitch the antidote for the disease of wealth hoarding and about redistributing/reparating their stolen and hoarded wealth to housless people and 1st Nations movements (ie: Sogorea Land Trust), when this man said: ldquo;What a beautiful ideahellip;yes, Irsquo;m interested.rdquo; He then takes an information flier. Amazingly the following day, he emails POOR Magazine, saying that he is interested in finding out more info bout the Sogorea Te Land trust with an interest to redistribute wealth and give reparations to them!/p p Its important for Ohlone People to be part of this movement, as we are unrecognized in our own land, and suffered the first form of gentrification aka colonization, had our languages and cultures stolen and are now displaced in our own ancestral landsrdquo;, said Corrina Gould, Ohlone land warrior and co-founder of the lsquo;Sogorea Te Land Trustrsquo;, the only Native woman-owned land trust in the United States. /p p span class="text_exposed_show"In the lsquo;Stolen Land Hoarded Resources Redistribution, Decolonization Community Reparations Tour for Mama Earth and its Earth Peoplesrsquo;, the two models that poor/displaced/houseless communities and First Nations communities are presenting is the poor people-led self-determined movement called Homefulness, located in deep East Oakland (Huichin Ohlone Land) and the Sogorea Te Land Trust, which is a Native woman-run land trust based in the land of the first peoples who lead it./span/p p One of the ways we can talk about people giving reparations is to give to the Sogore Te land trust one of the only Native- women -run land trust, said Corrina Gould In addition to these two models, the tour is planned to travel through other cities across Turtle Island (US) where the descendents of settler colonizers will be asked to redistribute their excess and/or hoarded wealth and/or stolen land to First Nations people of the city/town where they own land in or to support the launching of Homefulness models in that city/town for houseless people.

Reflections of losing languages from the Perspective of a Dine Elder

pPulling up to Flagstaff AZ. I really enjoyed the way the trees wrapped around and through the town, it reminded me very much of the way the homes were built on the reservation in Pine Ridge SD. The snow from late winter was still a bit on the ground and when we pulled up to Talhoogan Infoshop, I felt like I was at home. We walked in and before my eyes I saw books everywhere and sweaters with the words, ldquo;Respect Existance, or Expect Resistancerdquo; I felt like I found a new POOR Magazine HQ.nbsp; My Favorite part of Talahoogan Infoshop was their donations room, where they had so many supplies for those that need it, from clothes to food and even medicine. These were true revolutionaries like us. Talahoogan Infoshop in Flagstaff AZ seemed like a second home to me./p pPhillip Standing Bear here, with my interpretation of an interview with a Dine elder from the beautiful community of Flagstaff. Before we even got to meet Dave Benally, we were having a conversation with his son, Klee, a revolutionary who works with the community, about some of the problems his peoples faced. Including, but not limited to, poisoned water supply and land desecration. Klee was very knowledgeable about his people, their problems and what to do to fix them. I enjoyed having a coffee and dinner with him and my beautiful Sis-Star, Lisa ldquo;Tinyrdquo; Gray-Garcia. When his father came through though, we realized the importance of talking to his father./p pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; I could almost see the rolling, and broken hills of the desert that makes up his region, in his fathers face. He was a very dark red skin elder with the knowledge to back it up. When we asked him about what we could do to help him and his people through his troubles, he said to us this, ldquo;There is only one way everything can go back to the way it was, where people lived by need and not want. The Indian warrior must get a hold of himself and take, by force if necessary, our lands back.rdquo; I have to say, it sounded like he was angry for a time, but I soon realized it was sadness. It sounded to me as though he lost someone very close to him./p pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; I then proceeded to ask him about how hard it was to lose his language and he said, in his native tongue, ldquo;I have not lost my language, my peoples have yet to listen to my languagerdquo; it seems to me we need to listen more to our elders, for they may have more to teach us than what they tell us./p pnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; After everything was said and done and the interview was over, I thanked Kleersquo;s father for doing the interview and instead, I was thanked for taking his opinion and making them public. He said to me, the youth need to know how to make their own news./p pI thank creator I had a moment to talk and learn from such a knowledgeable man/p

Stolen Sista-Mama-Daughter- the other story of Jessica

pTargeted, unhoused, on the run, doing things I call underground economic strategies, to survive the Intentional poverty, present and historical trauma rampant in Amerikkklan. This is the other narrative about stolen, Porsquo;Lice murdered sister-mama-daughter Jessica Nelson-Williams, cornered and murdered by the paid agents of the state (PoLice) in the Bayview on May 19th 2016 . The terrifying but very true aspect of her murder is that everyday of her life she was under surveillance. Jessica, like Mayan, unhoused father Luis Gongora Pat, and a href="http://www.poormagazine.org/node/4540"Papa Bear/a and so many other unhoused peoples in struggle, was already on the Porsquo;Lice internal memos, their watch lists. And most tragically, the so-called stolen car she was supposedly in, was just the excuse to create a conclusion deeply in the making for awhile. The Po#39;Lice and their own gentriFUKation project./p p When I saw her face,I knew that I knew her. It wasnbsp; an aching kind of knowing, rooted in pain, like the kind of pain so many of us poor, unhoused mamas share when we spot another unhoused family member in deep struggle. And yet i still couldent place our meeting.nbsp; Then my sister Queenandi XSheba, fellow poverty skola and member of the a href="http://www.poormagazine.org/welfareQUEENS"welfareQUEENrsquo;s/a at POOR Magazine also saw Jessica and recognized her and then i remembered. It was a day not so long ago while still at POORrsquo; Magazinersquo;snbsp; tenderloin (TL) location. She had come in to get support from our a href="http://www.poormagazine.org/node/118"Courtwatch project/a, which is a humble poor/houseless mamas and fathers led project to support families who are struggling to deal with the horror of Child Protective Service (CPS). My mama Dee started it when we had CPS in our life due to a family crisis. Every family we tried to support were, like us, almost destroyed by the kkkorts and their racist, classist decisions, expectations, judgements and hoops./p pJessica was in that kind of grief, and impossible situation, that is alomost indescribable, unable to make things better, lost in its endlessness. Unable to jump through the insane CPS hoops and yet heart-broken by losing her babies. I remember telling Jessica that that the CPS system was rigged and set up to make money from the removal of our babies from our homes. I told her something comrade Dorsey Nunn told me and my mama when we were dealing with the same grief, think the Porsquo;Lice/p p I always remember Jessica#39;s beauty, her optimism even throughout the struggle, how sweet and gentle she was, and how heartbroken she was and how she was almost resigned to that heart-break. How she was caught in the ldquo;liferdquo; , when the things you start doing to survive, sometimes become you. Things you do to survive, because of systematic racism, institutionalized criminalization that put people in poverty and keep them there so they can continue to keep the poverty industry wheel turning./p p Throughout our life in houselessness and struggle, both as a child with my disabled mixed race mama and later as an adult with my own sun, houseless again, i had been in and out of that terror that nothing was going to get better, that we were caught in the impossible situaiton, that we were stuck.nbsp;nbsp; I felt so many times i would never get out, never be able to make things ok. I did more and more things that led to more and more crisis. These positions of impossibility is why we poor and criminalized mamas do the welfareQUEENrsquo;s project.nbsp; To speak and teach and liberate our fellow sisters and brothers who are criminalized for the sole act of being a poor mama. From food stamps to proof of income forms, From drug tests, to po;Lice harassment, our liberation also begins with our own understanding. It is one of the reasons we poor mamaz in struggle and resistance are coming out with a 2016-17 a href="http://www.poormagazine.org/welfareQUEENS"welfareQUEEN#39;/as play, which will be dedicated to Jessica./p p I cry for Jessica now like i cry for my mama, and so many other sister-mama-daughters taken from us way too soon. I pray deeply that maybe her spirit is a little less scared and no longer has to run. That she is watching over her babies from the other side and that her loving spirit can rest in love./p
