FEMA Camps, Concentration Camps, Internment Camps Same Difference

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago
With all the recent natural disasters hurricanes, wild fires and flooding hitting the United States and its territories as well as the threat of an impending war there has been a lot of activity and response by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Or FEMA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an arm of the United States Department of Homeland Security who’s primary purpose is to “coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities”.   FEMA also provides state and local governments with experts in specialized fields and funding for rebuilding efforts and relief funds for infrastructure by directing individuals to access low interest loans, in conjunction with the Small Business Administration. In addition to this, FEMA provides funds for training of response personnel throughout the United States and its territories as part of the agency’s preparedness effort. Following the September 11, 2001, attacks, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to better coordinate among the different federal agencies that deal with law enforcement, disaster preparedness and recovery, border protection and civil defense. FEMA was absorbed into DHS effective March 1, 2003. President George W. Bush appointed Michael D. Brown as FEMA’s director in January 2003.  Brown warned in September 2003 that FEMA’s absorption into the Department of Homeland Security would make a mockery of FEMA’s new motto, “A Nation Prepared”, and would “fundamentally sever FEMA from its core functions”, “shatter agency morale” and “break longstanding, effective and tested relationships with states and first responder stakeholders”. The inevitable result of the reorganization of 2003, warned Brown, would be “an ineffective and uncoordinated response” to a terrorist attack or a natural disaster.

Well those warnings proved to be more than true when Hurricane Katrina hit the United States.   Federal funding to affected states for “all hazards” disaster preparedness needs was not awarded unless the local agencies made the purposes for the funding a “just terrorism” function.  Emergency management professionals testified that funds for preparedness for natural hazards was given LESS priority than preparations for counter terrorism measures. Testimony also expressed the opinion that the mission to mitigate vulnerability and prepare for natural hazard disasters before they occurred had been separated from disaster preparedness functions, making the nation more vulnerable to known hazards, like hurricanes.  So basically after merging the Federal Emergency Management Agency into the Department of Homeland Security; FEMA became more about “counter terrorism” and “disaster management” than about natural disaster management with them defining what a “disaster” is.


As a part of its disaster planning efforts in the 1980’s FEMA began developing what they called “Crisis Relocation Planng”.  In conjunction with the FBI they began to scout the nation’s commercial buildings for possible refugee resettlement. In Arkansas, agents lined up a meeting with Walmart executives to discuss using the company’s huge stores, explaining as a cover that they wanted to learn crisis management techniques from companies that had large centralized leadership.

FBI agents presented cooperating business owners with secret agreements to “rent” their facilities for nuclear war. Lengthy addendums to the contracts outlined required utility and infrastructure upgrades needed to support crisis operations, the costs of which were fully paid by the government, as were separate telephone lines installed at each facility. The government also paid a token annual fee on the order of $1,000 or $2,500 to ease cooperation. During an emergency, the FBI would also pay a daily fee for each day it occupied the facility. Nowhere was any government agency other than the FBI mentioned—FEMA kept its fingerprints far from the program.

The American Camp Association which is “a community of camp professionals who, for over 100 years, have joined together to share our knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs. Because of our diverse 11,000 plus membership and our exceptional programs, children and adults have the opportunity to learn powerful lessons in community, character-building, skill development, and healthy living — lessons that can be learned nowhere else”  has posted this notice on their website:

Under the Crisis Relocation Plan, nearly half the American population would be evacuated out of 400 “high-risk” cities into smaller surrounding towns and these preselected buildings; under FEMA’s estimates, some 65 percent of that population could be evacuated in as little as one day and fully 95 percent could be evacuated in three days. Such strategic warning, FEMA estimated, would be achievable under most circumstances, since it was “more likely that [a nuclear attack] would follow a period of intense international tension.”

Lets’s rewind back to World War II where Japanese Americans in the United States were forced to relocate and were  incarcerated in camps in the western interior of the country.  President Roosevelt authorized the deportation and incarceration with Executive Order 9066, issued on February 19, 1942, which allowed regional military commanders to designate “military areas” from which “any or all persons may be excluded”.  This authority was used to declare that all people of Japanese ancestry were excluded from the West Coast, including all of California and parts of Oregon, Washington, and Arizona, except for those in government camps.

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast.

Several concerns over the loyalty of ethnic Japanese seemed to stem from racial prejudice rather than any evidence of malfeasance. Major Karl Bendetsen and Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt, head of the Western Command, each questioned Japanese-American loyalty. DeWitt, who administered the internment program, repeatedly told newspapers that “A Jap’s a Jap” and testified to Congress, “I don’t want any of them [persons of Japanese ancestry] here. They are a dangerous element. There is no way to determine their loyalty… It makes no difference whether he is an American citizen, he is still a Japanese. American citizenship does not necessarily determine loyalty… But we must worry about the Japanese all the time until he is wiped off the map”.   Those who were as little as 1/16 Japanese could be placed in internment camps.  There is evidence supporting the argument that the measures were racially motivated, rather than a military necessity. Bendetsen, promoted to colonel, said in 1942 “I am determined that if they have one drop of Japanese blood in them, they must go to camp.”

Throughout many camps, twenty-five people were forced to live in space built to contain four, leaving no room for privacy.  Armed guards were posted at the camps, which were all in remote, desolate areas far from population centers. Internees were typically allowed to stay with their families, and were treated decently unless they violated the rules. There are documented instances of guards shooting internees who reportedly attempted to walk outside the fences.

In early 1943, War Relocation Authority officials, working with the War Department and the Office of Naval Intelligence circulated a questionnaire in an attempt to determine the loyalty of incarcerated Nisei men they hoped to recruit into military service.

The final two questions on the form, which soon came to be known as the “loyalty questionnaire,” were more direct:

Question 27: Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered?

Question 28: Will you swear unqualified allegiances to the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any and all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance or obedience to the Japanese emperor, or other foreign government, power or organization?

Across the camps, persons who answered No to both questions became known as “No Nos.” On July 15, 1943, Tule Lake, the site with the highest number of “no” responses to the questionnaire, was designated to house inmates whose answers suggested they were “disloyal”.[129] During the remainder of 1943 and into early 1944, more than 12,000 men, women and children were transferred from other camps to the maximum-security Tule Lake Segregation Center.

On December 18, 1944, the Supreme Court handed down two decisions on the legality of the incarceration under Executive Order 9066.  These rulings stated that, in general, the removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast was constitutional. However, Ex parte Endo unanimously declared that loyal citizens of the United States, regardless of cultural descent, could not be detained without cause. In effect, the two rulings held that, while the eviction of U.S. citizens in the name of military necessity was legal, the subsequent incarceration was not—thus paving the way for their release.

In 1988, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988.  It provided financial redress of $20,000 for each surviving detainee, totaling $1.2 billion. The question of to whom reparations should be given, how much, and even whether monetary reparations were appropriate were subjects of sometimes contentious debate within the Japanese American community and Congress.

On September 27, 1992, the Civil Liberties Act Amendments of 1992, appropriating an additional $400 million to ensure all remaining internees received their $20,000 redress payments, was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush. He issued another formal apology from the U.S. government on December 7, 1991, on the 50th-Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, saying:

“In remembering, it is important to come to grips with the past. No nation can fully understand itself or find its place in the world if it does not look with clear eyes at all the glories and disgraces of its past. We in the United States acknowledge such an injustice in our history. The internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry was a great injustice, and it will never be repeated.”

Over 81,800 people were qualified by 1998 and $1.6 billion was distributed among them.

At the same time in the 1940’s Nazi Germany maintained concentration camps throughout the territories it controlled before and during the Second World War. The first Nazi camps were erected in Germany in March 1933 immediately after Hitler became Chancellor and his Nazi Party was given control of the police by Reich Interior Minister Wilhelm Frick and Prussian Acting Interior Minister Hermann Göring. Used to hold and torture political opponents and union organizers, the camps initially held around 45,000 prisoners.   After September 1939, with the beginning of the Second World War, concentration camps became places where millions of ordinary people were enslaved as part of the war effort, often starved, tortured and killed.  During the war, new Nazi concentration camps for “undesirables” spread throughout the continent. 

Use of the word “concentration” came from the idea of confining people in one place because they belong to a group that is considered undesirable in some way. The term itself originated in 1897 when the “reconcentration camps” were set up in Cuba. In the past, the U.S. government had used concentration camps against Native Americans and the British had also used them during the Second Boer War. Between 1904 and 1908, the Schutztruppe of the Imperial German Army operated concentration camps in German South-West Africa (now Namibia) as part of its genocide of the Herero and Namaqua peoples.

Many of the prisoners died in the concentration camps due to deliberate maltreatment, disease, starvation, and overwork, or they were executed as unfit for labor. Prisoners were transported in inhumane conditions by rail freight cars, in which many died before reaching their final destination. The prisoners were confined in the boxcars for days or even weeks, with little or no food or water. Many died of dehydration in the intense heat of summer or froze to death in winter. Concentration camps also existed in Germany itself, and while they were not specifically designed for systematic extermination, many of their inmates perished because of harsh conditions or they were executed.The camps were liberated by the Allied forces between 1944 and 1945. Currently, there are memorials to the victims of both Nazi and communist camps at Potulice as well as across the world, they have helped to enable a German-Polish discussion on historical perceptions of World War II.

Don’t End Up in FEMA

With all the different things going on in the United States to cause racial division and civil unrest including political dissension reaching the NFL and the entertainment arena, we have to be wise and pay attention to the words, games and issues that they will use to cause division within our communities and among our peoples.  Once they feel they have a clear justified reason: with the stroke of a pen by means of executive order you will end up in a Federally Managed Cams where they will detain you and do whatever they feel necessary regardless of what rights you think you have.  Any violations of your “human rights” will be figured out 50 years later in a federal court.

Currently at the helm of The United States and as the Commander in Chief of the military is a trigger happy president. ( If you think im exaggerating then you may not have heard about him dropping the “Mother of all Bombs” on Afghanistan after 4 months of being in office.  Or sending in “Federal help” to combat Chicago gun violence)  He has absolutely no problem using the military or federal resources to “keep things under control” nor does he have any problems signing executive orders that are discriminatory in manner or that fall outside the lines of the law.  Using the entertainment arena to cause racial division and upset withing the country in hopes to lead the people into mass unrest and violence will give him the justification he needs t declare an emergency across the United States,  enact the King Alfred Plan and send whomever they deem to be a threat and or “the minority and minority supporters”  to military controlled camps FEMA camps or whatever other kinda camp they want to call it.

The NFL, Disrespecting “The Flag” and The United States

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago
Ever since The current president of The United States of America made inflammatory statements regarding peaceful protests against systematic oppression, racial injustice, and the senseless Court Justified killings of unarmed black men across the United States; there has been a slew of things that have occurred that has turned a peaceful protest against racial injustice and systematic oppression into acts that are supposed to be representative of “disrespecting the flag” the United States military and its veterans, as well as shown dishonor and disrespect to our country.  Many people have been adversely affected by protesting  against racial injustice and the senseless yet justified killings of unarmed black men: including them losing their jobs, suspensions, losing sponsorships, and even threats of losing their job or suffering suspension, loss of pay, or other penalties if they choose to participate in these protests and “disrespect our flag”

This isn’t about the flag or the military

The origins of this protest began in 2016 football season when the then San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.  He stated “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”  Examples of some of these killings and injustices are: Michael Brown was shot to death by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014, it awakened a movement that began with the previous killing of another black teenager, Trayvon Martin, who was shot in 2012 by neighborhood watch volulnteer George Zimmerman.  Brown’s death was not the first of its kind since Martin’s; just a month prior, Eric Garner died after being placed in a chokehold by NYPD officers. Both deaths sparked protests across the country — protests that were renewed when grand juries declined to charge the officers involved in either case.
Dontre Hamilton, 31, was fatally shot 14 times by a police officer in a Milwaukee park. The officer was responding to a call from employees at a nearby Starbucks alleging that Hamilton, who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, was disturbing the peace. The officers who arrived first determined that Hamilton wasn’t doing anything illegal. Officer Christopher Manney showed up later and, after trying to pat Hamilton down, engaged in a struggle with him that led to the shooting. Manney was not charged. Eric Garner, 43, was killed after he was put in an illegal chokehold for 15 seconds by a white police officer — allegedly for selling loose cigarettes. Garner said “I can’t breathe” 11 times as he was held down by several officers on a sidewalk.  The officer who put Garner in the chokehold, Daniel Pantaleo, was not charged.  Garner’s death sparked peaceful protests across the nation, with demonstrators adopting the phrase “I Can’t Breathe” as a symbol and slogan of protest.   Unarmed Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.  In November, a grand jury declined to charge Wilson in the fatal shooting. Brown’s death and the lack of charges against Wilson sparked protests, some of them violent, in Ferguson and across the nation.  On March 4, the Department of Justice announced that it too would not charge Wilson for the shooting after an exhaustive investigation. Tanisha Anderson, 37, died after officers in Cleveland allegedly slammed her head on the pavement while taking her into custody.  Anderson’s family said she had bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.  The investigation into the case remains ongoing, and no charges have been filed against the officers involved.
Tamir Rice, 12, was shot and killed by Cleveland police after officers mistook his toy gun for a real weapon.  The two police officers involved, Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, have not been charged.  Rice’s family has filed wrongful death lawsuit against the officers and the city of Cleveland.     Freddie Gray, 25, died of a spinal cord injury a week after he was arrested by Baltimore police.  It’s still unclear how Gray sustained the injury. Officials say he was stopped after fleeing “unprovoked upon noticing police presence” and arrested for allegedly possessing a switchblade.  He was put in a police van, which is where police say he suffered a medical emergency. The officers involved in his arrest were placed on leave, and on Friday, the state’s attorney announced that they had been criminally charged in connection with Gray’s homicide.  Gray’s death sparked protests in Baltimore and other cities across the nation. On Monday, protesters and police clashed, prompting hundreds of arrests and Maryland’s governor to declare a state of emergency. And there are countless others that can be referred to.

We Are Not The Terrorists

The senseless killings of these black women, children and men by law enforcement with no subsequent accountability has sparked a cry for change and justice for our people and even a movement called the “Black Lives Matter” movement in which there have been attempts and petitions signed to label this movement as a terrorist group citing “Terrorism is defined as ‘the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims… This definition is the same definition used to declare ISIS and other groups, as terrorist organizations…Black Lives Matter earned this title due to its actions in Ferguson, Baltimore, and even at a Bernie Sander rally, as well as all over the United States and Canada.”   It asked the Pentagon to recognize the group as such “on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety.” (rumor has it they have labeled them as that).  They’ve even had counter protests against the black lives matter movement called “Blue Lives Matter” saying that police lives matter as well as the “All lives Matter” movement saying that not just black lives matter: all lives matter.  These counter protests were engineered to mask the purpose of the Black lives matter movement which was to stop the senseless killing of black people by law enforcement in this country and to shut the Black Lives Matter movement, and to also do it under the guise of “equality” black lives don’t just matter, all lives matter because we are all people but never admitting that we aren’t equally affected by these things.

In a memo obtained by Foreign Policy from early August, the FBI claims that the continued concern over “alleged” police abuse has fueled a rise in violence against police. And that rise in violence has produced a new kind of terrorist. It reads in part: “The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely.”   So basically, the more people know about police brutality  the bigger the risk to cops.  This was the same scenario that eventually ended the Black Panther movement.

Their Counter-Protest To Your Protests

Also in response to these protests the current president of the United States has also issued a few statements and opinions on these protests saying ““Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” using his infamous catch phrase from his reality show “The Apprentice”.  He also said “You know, some owner is going to do that. He’s going to say, ‘That guy that disrespects our flag, he’s fired.’ And that owner, they don’t know it [but] they’ll be the most popular person in this country.”   He also then encouraged people attending NFL games to leave the stadium in counter-protest if they see a player kneeling during the anthem, which is traditionally performed before kickoff saying  “But do you know what’s hurting the game more than that?” he said. “When people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when they’re playing our great national anthem. The only thing you could do better is if you see it, even if it’s one player, leave the stadium.  I guarantee things will stop. Things will stop. Just pick up and leave. Pick up and leave. Not the same game anymore, anyway.”

 

Himself and the Vice President of the Unites States then staged a walkout on the 49ers vs Colts NFL game game in Indianapolis on Sunday after about a dozen San Francisco players kneeled during the playing of the national anthem saying “I left today’s Colts game because POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.”  The President then tweeted “I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country, “I am proud of him and @SecondLady Karen.”

This has lead to: fans burning NFL gear, items, jerseys  and uniforms, players as well as protest participants being called   “sons of bitches” and “no good niggers” among other things, sponsors have pulled sponsorships and endorsements in response to any players found protesting, players have been threatened with the loss of their jobs or play-time if they are found in protest or “being disrespectful to our flag” and even school student athletes having to sign “no kneeling contracts” or be escorted off the playing field.  These things have been enouraging blind patriotism at the expense of actual civic engagement and action.

It’s not Fun and Games Anymore

So…isn’t the sport of football entertainment?  The president of the United States and well as NFL team owners, sponsors, schools and more are now taking what was supposed to be fun entertainment to participate in as well as watch and turning it into another system of political oppression.  This form of entertainment isn’t even something that is required within our society, nor is the playing of the national anthem during any entertainment or sporting event required.  But it is making its rounds now as mandatory.  However, any statutory suggestions regarding behavior during the national anthem do not have any penalty associated with violations. 36 U.S.C. § 301 because behavioral requirements for the national anthem is subject to the same First Amendment controversies that surround the Pledge of Allegiance.[61] For example, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not sing the national anthem, though they are taught that standing is an “ethical decision” that individual believers must make based on their “conscience.”  2003 District ruling:  Teachers or any other staff cannot be forced to participate in the pledge, either: “It doesn’t matter whether you’re a teacher, a student, a citizen, an administrator, or anyone else, it is beyond the power of the authority of government to compel the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance,”—U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock [19] 

Why are people being penalized for exercising their first amendment rights? Why are people being penalized for actions of which the U.S. Code has no penalties for? If children in schools aren’t forced to pledge tothe flag, why are grown men treated worse than children?  This goes way deeper than the NFL.

We Fought For Your Freedom BUT Still Fight For Ours

Secondly. and this is no disrespect to ANY of veterans who have fought for the COUNTRY in which we live.  But for some reason whenever I hear people say “they fought and fight for our freedom” I can’t help but to think that  at the times these “patriotic” songs were written were speaking of the fight for freedom from British rule, WHILE BLACKS WERE STILL SLAVES AND NOT FREE!!! In fact many black slaves were recruited or required to join the military and given promises of freedom after the war was over.  They were put on the front lines of these wars and gave their lives to fight for the freedom of the country from British rule only to still have their freedom taken away.  Subsequently during the civil war there was a whole military, army and many militias that fought AGAINST the freedom rights and privileges of slaves, and even during the civil rights era in the 1960’s martial law was declared, rendering the constitution invalid and the country under military control and the military was used to stop any fights for rights, equality and injustice.   So once again no offense to the United States military but they have not shown a consistent track record in fighting for the rights of blacks in this country;  in fact they have shown to serve as  an arm of the government that restricts the rights certain citizens are allowed to exercise or have.

Here is an excerpt from the Declaration of independence that says: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ——”  We have no life because our lives are being taken from us senselessly via “law enforcement” as well as other systematic oppressions against us.  We have no liberty because even after being “freed” fro slavery (100 years after these lines were written) there have been pursuits and laws to restrict and detain us and keep us indebted to this country and never getting ahead.  There is definitely no pursuit of happiness for us because even when we silently protest that we stop being killed off and allow us the same treatments and freedoms that are allowed to others under their constitution be afforded to us; we are still oppressed.

When we “Take a Knee”against the systematic oppression, killings, and injustice that we have suffered in this country for hundreds of years our silent  protests are silenced even further with “you are disrespecting the flag”  no matter what your cause or issue is, we don’t care, don’t disrespect our flag and the national anthem.  Typically to diplomatically end a protest you at a minimum hear their concerns and issues in order to begin amicably resolving issues and concerns any parties may have.  But we are silenced.

The Land of the Free, And a Noose for the Slave

Even the poem the “Star Spangled Banner” was taken from not only details and praises the U.S. victory against the British but also speaks of triumph over the slaves who thought they would succeed in helping the British in winning the war.  Here is the full of that poem entitled  “Defense of Fort M’Henry” written during the War of 1812:

O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream,
’Tis the star-spangled banner—O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lov’d home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserv’d us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto – “In God is our trust,”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Putting special  emphasis on the lines

No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

 So I ask another question: how respectful is it to us as a people, our history, our heritage and our black soldiers who fought for the freedom of this country to still be enslaved, mocked in song as well as not recognized as a person per their laws and still suffering many of theses things to this day; how respectful is it for us to be forced to honor lyrics and songs that were never meant for our honor and freedom in the first place and were written in praise of our oppression?

If the fight for inequality and injustice is going to continue on our end we have to be able to fight the same ways they are fighting us.  They impose economic sanctions by taking away jobs, sponsorships, and other financial backing; we need to do the same.  This is not the 1940’s 50’s or 60’s anymore, we are far ore educated and have the capabilities, knowledge and abilities to build and have our own.  We can put together our own football league if we wanted to and every last dime that we spend with the NFL we spend it in and on our own leagues.  Every last sponsor that pulls financial backing we stop spending our money with them and start building and financing our own.  We have lawyers, doctors, scientists, biologists, and every other professional we could think of within our communities.

I’ll close with this:

2 Corinthians 6

King James Version (KJV)

6 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;

6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;

9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;

10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.

13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

The King Alfred Plan aka Rex 84 (To Lock Up Minorities in Wartime or Dissension)

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

Divide and Conquer

It’s no coincidence that in these times there are a lot of things going on that keep us from seeing the bigger picture while a war is brewing.  Governmental agencies as well as the authorities that run them have had long standing policies and procedures they implement during times of war,  civil unrest and rebellion as well as to cause internal conflict and war.

A leaked US Army Military Police training manual for “Civil Disturbance Operations” outlines how military assets are to be used domestically to quell riots, confiscate firearms and even kill Americans on U.S. soil during mass civil unrest.  The document outlines how military assets will be used to “help local and state authorities to restore and maintain law and order” in the event of mass riots, civil unrest or a declaration of martial law.

The primary function of military assets will be focused around, “breaking up unauthorized gatherings and by patrolling the disturbance area to prevent the commission of lawless acts,” states the document, adding, “during operations to restore order, military forces may present a show of force, establish roadblocks, break up crowds, employ crowd control agents, patrol, serve as security forces or reserves, and perform other operations as required.”  On page 20 of the manual, rules regarding the use of “deadly force” in confronting “dissidents” are made disturbingly clear with the directive that a, “Warning shot will not be fired.”

Round up the Minority and the Minority Supporters

Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was established under the pretext of a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/US border.  During the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987, however, it was revealed that the program was a secretive “scenario and drill” developed by the federal government to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law, assign military commanders to take over state and local governments, and detain large numbers of American citizens determined by the government to be “national security threats.”  The large nuber of “American citizens” to detained are identified in a subsequent memo entitled the King Alfred Plan later named Rex 84.

Memo: National Security Council

Even before 1954, when the Supreme Court of the United States of America declared unconstitutional separate educational and recreational facilities, racial unrest and discord had become very nearly a part of the American way of life. But that way of life was repugnant to most Americans. Since 1954, however, that unrest and discord have broken out into widespread violence which increasingly have placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy.

This violence has resulted in loss of life, limb and property, and has cost the taxpayers of this nation billions of dollars. And the end is not yet in sight. This same violence has raised the tremendously grave question as to whether the races can ever live in peace with each other. Each passing month has brought new intelligence that, despite new laws passed to alleviate the condition of the Minority, the Minority still is not satisfied. Demonstrations and rioting have become a part of the familiar scene.

Troops have been called out in city after city across the land, and our image as a world leader severely damaged. Our enemies press closer, seeking the advantage, possibly at a time during one of these outbreaks of violence. The Minority has adopted an almost military posture to gain its objectives, which are not clear to most Americans. 

It is expected, therefore, that when those objectives are denied the Minority, racial war must be considered inevitable. When that emergency comes, we must expect the total involvement of all 22 million members of the Minority, men, women, and children, for once this project is launched, its goal is to terminate, once and for all, the Minority threat to the whole of the American society, and indeed, the Free World.

Chairman, National Security Council

Preliminary Memo: Department of Interior

Lock Them Up Indefinitely and terminate, once and for all, the Minority threat

Under King Alfred, the nation has been divided into 10 regions. In case of Emergency, Minority members will be evacuated from the cities by federalized national guard units, local and state police and, if necessary, by units of the Regular Armed Forces, using public and military transportation, and detained in nearby military installations until a further course of action has been decided.

1 – Capital Region
2 – Northeast Region
3 – Southeast Region
4 – Great Lakes Region
5 – South Central Region
6 – Deep South Region
7 – Deep South Region II
8 – Great Plains, Rocky mountain Region
9 – Southwest Region
10 – West Coast Region

No attempt will be made to seal off the Canadian and Mexican borders.

Secretary, Department of Interior

Combined Memo: Department of Justice
Preliminary Memo: Federal Bureau of Investigation & Central Intelligence Agency

Target Minority Groups and Organizations and their Leaders

There are 12 major Minority organizations and all are familiar to the 22 million. Dossiers have been compiled on the leaders of the organizations, and can be studied in Washington. The material contained in many of the dossiers, and our threat to reveal that material, has considerably held in check some of the leaders. Leaders who do not have such usable material in their dossiers have been approached to take government posts, mostly as ambassadors and primarily in African countries.

The promise of these positions also has materially contributed to a temporary slow-down of Minority activities. However, we do not expect these slow-downs to be of long duration, because there are always new and dissident elements joining these organizations, with the potential power to replace the old leaders. All organizations and their leaders are under constant, 24-hour surveillance. The organizations are:

1 – The Black Muslims
2 – Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)
3 – Congress of Racial Equality
4 – Uhuru Movement
5 – Group On Advanced Leadership (GOAL)
6 – Freedom Now Party (FNP)
7 – United Black Nationalists of America (UBNA)
8 – The New Pan-African Movement (TNPAM)
9 – Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)
10 – The National Urban League (NUL)
11 – The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
12 – Committee on Racial and Religious Progress (CORARP)

NOTE: At the appropriate time, to be designated by the President, the leaders of some of these organizations are to be detained ONLY WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY CANNOT PREVENT THE EMERGENCY, working with local public officials during the first critical hours. All other leaders are to be detained at once. Compiled lists of Minority leaders have been readied at the National Data Computer Center.

It is necessary to use the Minority leaders designated by the President in much the same manner in which we use Minority members who are agents with Central and Federal, and we cannot, until there is no alternative, reveal King Alfred in all its aspects. Minority members of Congress will be unseated at once. This move is not without precedent in American history.

Attorney General

Preliminary Memo: Department of Defense

This memo is being submitted in lieu of a full report from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That report is now in preparation. There will be many cities where the Minority will be able to put into the street a superior number of people with a desperate and dangerous will. He will be a formidable enemy, for he is bound to the Continent by heritage and knows that political asylum will not be available to him in other countries.

The greatest concentration of the Minority is in the Deep South, the Eastern seaboard, the Great lakes region and the West Coast. While the national population exceeds that of the Minority by more than ten times, we must realistically take into account the following:

1 – An estimated 40-50 percent of the white population will not, for various reasons, engage the Minority during an Emergency.
2 – American Armed Forces are spread around the world. A breakout of war abroad means fewer troops at home to handle the Emergency.
3 – Local law enforcement officials must contain the Emergency until help arrives, though it may mean fighting a superior force. New York City, for example, has a 25,000 man police force, but there are about one million Minority members in the city.

We are confident that the Minority would hold any city it took for only a few hours. The lack of weapons, facilities, logistics — all put the Minority at a final disadvantage.

Since the Korean War, this department has shifted Minority members of the Armed Forces to areas where combat is most likely to occur, with the aim of eliminating, through combat, as many combat-trained military servicemen as possible. Today the ratio of Minority member combat deaths in Vietnam, where they are serving as “advisors,” is twice as high as the Minority population ratio to the rest of America. Below is the timetable for King Alfred as tentatively suggested by the JCS who recommend that the operation be made over a period of eight hours:

1. Local police and Minority leaders in action to head off the Emergency.
2. Countdown to eight hours begins at the moment the President determines the Emergency to be:
a. National
b. Coordinated
c. Of Long Duration (8th hour)
3. County police join local police (7th hour)
4. State police join county and local police (6th hour)
5. Federal marshals join state, county, and local forces (5th hour)
6. National guards federalized, held in readiness (4th hour)
7. Regular Armed Forces alerted, take up positions; Minority troops divided and detained,
along with all white sympathizers, under guard (3rd hour)
8. All minority leaders, national and local detained (2nd hour)
9. President addresses Minority on radio-television,
gives it one hour to end the Emergency (1st hour)
10. All units under regional commands into the Emergency (0 hour)
“0” Committee Report:

Survey shows that during a six-year period, production created 9,000,000 objects, or 1,500,000 each year. Production could not dispose of the containers, which proved a bottleneck. However, that was almost 20 years ago. We suggest that vaporization techniques be employed to overcome the production problems inherent in King Alfred.

(The “0” Committee Report is referring to the problems that occurred in Nazi Germany when the furnaces were not hot enough to burn the bodies that Hitler had killed. The bodies clogged up the furnaces thereby causing a problem that the above committee recommends avoiding by building high-volume (nuclear-powered) incinerators that burn 5,000 degrees. It should be noted that steel melts at approximately 2700 degrees!)

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast.

To Sum it Up and Tie it all Together

Don’t be fooled by all the fluff and do not allow them to ake you engage in behavior and activity that will allow the to say “that’s why we need  to lock them up”.  These things are all being done intentionally in order to make you an enemy of the state and a threat to “public safety”.

Revelation 13:5-10

5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints

What is The Will of God

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

What is the Will of God?

Many teach that the will of God is simply what He wants everyone on earth to do and that it is written in the Bible. While this is partially correct, it is not the full picture. When we study the Scriptures, we see that God is described as both the Righteous Judge of the earth and the Father of His children. A judge enforces the law and executes judgment, while a father leaves an inheritance for his heirs. This means that God’s will is not only His commandments and desires for how we should live but also His legally binding testament, which details the inheritance of His children.

God as the Righteous Judge

A judge enforces laws and ensures that legal wills are executed properly. The Bible confirms that God is the Supreme Judge over the earth:

  • Genesis 18:25 – “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
  • Psalm 75:7 – “But God is the Judge: He puts down one and exalts another.”
  • Isaiah 33:22 – “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us.”

As the Supreme Judge, God determines who will receive His inheritance and who will be disqualified.

God as a Father – The One Who Leaves a Will and Testament

A loving father does not depart without leaving an inheritance and clear instructions for his children. The Bible confirms that God is our Father:

  • Deuteronomy 32:6 – “Is He not your Father who created you?”
  • 2 Corinthians 6:18 – “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
  • Romans 8:16-17 – “The Spirit bears witness that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.”

As our Father, God has written a legally binding will (His covenant) that determines what His children will inherit.

What Is Written in God’s Will?

A. The Inheritance for His Children

God’s testament promises specific blessings to His faithful children:

  • Land – The promised land (Genesis 17:8, Psalm 37:29).
  • Rulership – Authority over the nations (Daniel 7:27, Revelation 5:10).
  • Eternal Life – Immortality in His Kingdom (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:50-52).
  • God’s Presence – A restored relationship with Him (Ezekiel 37:27, Revelation 21:3).

This inheritance is only given to those who meet the conditions set in God’s will.

B. The Legal Terms of the Will

Like any legal document, God’s will has conditions:

  1. Obedience to God’s Law
    • Exodus 19:5 – “If you obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession.”
    • Revelation 22:14 – “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life.”
  2. Endurance to the End
    • Matthew 24:13 – “He who endures to the end shall be saved.”
    • Revelation 2:26 – “He who overcomes and keeps My works until the end, I will give power over the nations.”

Not everyone will inherit the promises—only those who obey the terms of the will.

Judah’s Inheritance is Promised and Cannot Be Erased

The tribe of Judah was chosen for leadership and rulership among the twelve tribes of Israel:

  • Genesis 49:8-10 – “Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies… The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes.”
  • Psalm 60:7 – “Judah is My lawgiver.”

🔹 Implication: The leadership and rulership aspect of Judah’s inheritance is still intact. Judah is the tribe destined to govern, teach the law, and guide Israel. Despite captivity, oppression, and dispersion, God’s promise has not changed—the rightful inheritance remains.

Judah Must Awaken and Reclaim Their True Identity

One of the greatest attacks on Judah has been identity theft and miseducation. The prophecy in Deuteronomy speaks of Judah and Israel forgetting their heritage:

  • Deuteronomy 28:64 – “And the Lord shall scatter you among all people, from one end of the earth to the other…”
  • Jeremiah 17:4 – “And you, even yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you.”

This prophecy describes the loss of identity among the children of Judah, particularly in the lands where they were sold and scattered.

🔹 Implication: The Royal Awakening is essential! The children of Judah must reclaim their identity, history, and culture as God’s chosen people, rather than accept the false narratives imposed upon them. The inheritance belongs to those who know they are heirs!

Judah Must Return to Covenant Obedience

As God’s lawgiver and leaders, Judah is responsible for upholding the covenant. However, the curses in Deuteronomy 28 were the result of breaking the terms of God’s will.

  • Hosea 4:6 – “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me.”
  • Isaiah 1:3 – “The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know, My people do not consider.”

🔹 Implication: To restore the inheritance, Judah must return to the covenant—this means keeping the commandments, observing the holy days, and separating from Babylonian customs. This is part of fulfilling the terms of God’s will to receive the promised inheritance.

Judah’s Role in the Kingdom and the Coming Judgment

The will of God includes a future kingdom where Yahusha HaMashiach (Christ) will reign as King, and Judah has a special role in this government.

  • Zechariah 12:7 – “The Lord shall save the tents of Judah first.”
  • Obadiah 1:21 – “And saviors shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.”
  • Revelation 5:5 – “Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed.”

🔹 Implication: Judah’s awakening is the beginning of the restoration of Israel. The kingdom will not be established without Judah playing their role. Judah must prepare now—not just spiritually but also mentally, physically, and communally—to govern righteously.

Judah Must Separate from Babylon and Lead in Righteousness

  • Jeremiah 51:6 – “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity.”
  • Micah 5:8 – “And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples like a lion among the beasts of the forest.”

🔹 Implication: Judah must come out of false doctrines, pagan traditions, and the world’s system to stand as the righteous remnant. The Royal Awakening is about restoring the law, order, and kingdom structure that was lost through centuries of captivity and deception.

How to Prepare to Receive God’s Inheritance

To claim an inheritance, heirs must be prepared. Here’s how we can position ourselves to receive God’s promises:

1. Establish Your Identity as an Heir

  • Study the Scriptures to understand your heritage and divine calling (Deuteronomy 7:6, Isaiah 44:1).

2. Separate from the World’s System

  • 2 Corinthians 6:17 – “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.”
  • 1 John 2:15 – “Do not love the world or the things in the world.”
  • Remove pagan traditions, avoid worldly distractions, and focus on righteous living.

3. Walk in Righteousness and Holiness

  • Leviticus 20:26 – “You shall be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.”
  • Ephesians 4:24 – “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”
  • Live a set-apart life, guarding your actions, speech, and thoughts.

4. Store Up Treasures in Heaven (Kingdom Investments)

  • Matthew 6:19-20 – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
  • Luke 12:33 – “Sell what you have and give to the poor; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens.”
  • Use your time, resources, and skills to build God’s Kingdom—teach, help others, and grow spiritually.

5. Prepare for the Coming Kingdom

  • Matthew 24:44 – “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
  • Revelation 21:7 – “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”
  • Stay watchful, pray, fast, and prepare for the return of the Messiah.

And the Gates of Hell Shall not Prevail…

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

The Gates of Hell: A Deeper Understanding 

In Matthew 16:18, Yahusha (Jesus) declares:
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Many pastors and preachers interpret this passage as a call for believers to be strong and unshakable in their faith, likening them to a rock that the enemy cannot overcome. While the importance of a firm foundation is undeniable (Matthew 7:24-25), there is a deeper and often overlooked meaning in this passage regarding the role of the church in spiritual warfare.

What Is the Purpose of a Gate?

A gate, by design, is not an offensive weapon—it does not attack or advance. Instead, it serves as a barrier, keeping something in or out. A gate is only effective as long as it remains intact and unbroken. If a gate is torn down, opened, or breached, it has not prevailed because it has failed in its purpose.

Now, consider Yahusha’s words again: “The gates of hell shall not prevail.” If a gate cannot move or attack, then the church is not meant to be passively defending itself against hell—the church is meant to be on the offensive, tearing down the gates that hold people captive.

Spiritual Warfare: The Church’s Duty to Tear Down Strongholds

Scripture repeatedly affirms that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to imprison the people of Yah (Ephesians 6:12). The “gates of hell” represent these oppressive powers, which include false doctrines, principalities, and systems of control designed to keep Yah’s people in bondage.

The duty of the church, therefore, is not to remain stationary on the rock, waiting for the enemy to come. The duty of the church is to tear down these gates and liberate those held in spiritual captivity.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 reinforces this:
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”

Biblical Precedents: Yah’s People Breaking Free

Throughout history, Yah’s people have found themselves entrapped behind the gates of oppressive nations due to their disobedience. The Old Testament reveals a repeated cycle:

  1. Israel rebels against Yah by following other gods and refusing to heed His prophets.
  2. Yah gives them over to their oppressors, allowing them to experience hardship and captivity.
  3. In their suffering, they cry out to Yah for deliverance and repent.
  4. Yah raises up a deliverer, leads them out, and restores them—until they fall into rebellion again.

This pattern is evident in multiple accounts:

  • Egyptian Captivity (Exodus 2:23-25): “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.” Yah then raised up Moses to break them free from Pharaoh’s gates.
  • Judges Cycle (Judges 2:18-19): “And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge.” Each time they repented, Yah provided a deliverer to help them escape their oppression.
  • Babylonian Captivity (Jeremiah 29:12-14): “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity.”

The extra-biblical texts also confirm this pattern:

  • Book of Jasher 75:12-14 records how the Israelites suffered under Egyptian bondage until Yah heard their cries and sent Moses.
  • Book of Jubilees 23:22-23 warns that disobedience leads to oppression, but repentance leads to deliverance.
  • Book of Enoch 46:6-7 describes the wicked rulers and kings who oppress Yah’s people but will ultimately be overthrown.

Historical Examples of “Gates” Built Through the Destruction of Knowledge

One of the most effective ways rulers and oppressors have historically kept people in bondage is through the destruction of knowledge and the rewriting of history. By eliminating access to truth, they have built “gates” to imprison entire civilizations in ignorance.

1. The Burning of the Library of Alexandria (circa 3rd-4th century BCE)

The Library of Alexandria, one of the greatest centers of knowledge in the ancient world, housed vast records of history, science, and philosophy. The destruction of this library—whether by Julius Caesar’s forces, later Roman emperors, or religious zealots—was a massive blow to historical knowledge. Many ancient writings that could have provided deeper insight into the world’s true history were lost forever.

2. The Council of Nicaea and the Suppression of Texts (325 CE)

At the Council of Nicaea, Emperor Constantine and church leaders decided which books would be included in the Bible and which would be deemed heretical. Many ancient texts—including the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, and other writings used by early believers—were removed from common circulation. These books, which contained deeper revelations about fallen angels, the Nephilim, and the spiritual battle between Yah’s people and wicked rulers, were labeled as “apocrypha” or “forbidden.”

The rewriting of religious history helped establish a controlled version of faith that aligned with imperial rule, making it easier to keep people under religious and political domination.

3. The Destruction of Indigenous Knowledge by European Colonizers (1400s-1800s)

During the colonization of Africa, the Americas, and other parts of the world, European powers systematically destroyed or suppressed the records, oral traditions, and religious practices of indigenous peoples.

  • The Burning of the Maya Codices (1562 CE): Spanish conquistadors burned nearly all of the Maya civilization’s written records, which contained advanced knowledge of astronomy, mathematics, and history. Only a few codices remain today.
  • The African Slave Trade & The Erasure of Identity: Enslaved Africans were stripped of their original languages, histories, and spiritual beliefs. European and Arab slave traders actively suppressed knowledge of their Hebrew and Israelite heritage, severing them from their true identity.
  • The Berlin Conference (1884-1885): European powers divided Africa and rewrote its history, promoting the idea that African civilizations were primitive. This false narrative was used to justify colonial rule and keep people mentally enslaved.

4. The Systematic Suppression of Black History in America

During slavery and segregation in America, enslaved people were forbidden to read or write. Laws were passed to prevent literacy because knowledge leads to liberation. Even after slavery, efforts to rewrite history continued:

  • The Lost Cause Narrative: After the Civil War, Southern historians promoted a false version of history that glorified the Confederacy and minimized the horrors of slavery.
  • The Destruction of Black Wall Street (1921): In Tulsa, Oklahoma, an entire thriving Black community was burned to the ground, and many records of Black economic success were lost.
  • Education Suppression: Even today, there are ongoing efforts to control how history is taught, ensuring that certain truths remain hidden or distorted.

The Call to Come Out from Behind the Gates

Many of Yah’s people today remain trapped behind these gates—bound by false doctrines, oppressive governments, corrupt leadership, rewritten history. and worldly systems. Just as in ancient times, Yah is calling His people to come out from among them before judgment falls.

Revelation 18:4 echoes this command:
“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

This is why Yahusha’s message is not just about standing firm—it’s about storming the gates of oppression and setting the captives free (Luke 4:18). Those who remain behind these gates when judgment comes will suffer the same fate as their oppressors, just as Israel’s disobedient remnant perished in Egypt, Babylon, and other captivities.

Woe unto the Pastors that Scatter the Flock!!

By Royal Awakening — 7 years ago

God with wisdom and knowledge will judge each man by their works in their day of judgement and by what has led them. Have they been led by their lusts and desires of their mind, have they been led by that which was in their nature, or has the spirit led them and by each which have they been lead to do. That which is evil, unjust and unrighteous or that which is good, righteous and fair.   Those that have the disapproving, reprobate, debating, unmerciful, unrepentant minds and hardened hearts that have unwisely passed His judgements for Him before He has will be first.

Who are these with the disapproving, reprobate, debating, unmerciful, unrepentant minds and  hardened hearts that have unwisely passed His judgements for Him before Him?

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Sounds like this is talking about those who have not studied to show themselves approved to me…

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Not only do you not study the whole of the law of God and retain its knowledge and wisdom, but you know PARTS of the law which is only the judgement of the law that says fornication, wickedness, murder  etc. are worthy of death; and not only do you do those things, but have pleasure in those that do them as well.  Knowing that deceiving is wrong you still deceive.  Knowing fornication is wrong, but still father many children with many women and none of which you care about.  Not only do you do those things, but will watch movies and shows about murder and deceit faithfully and love them.  Will enjoy the services of a whore or prostitute or watch their antics in movies, television, and reality shows.  Then the parts of the law that only includes the judgment and not the whole of the law, they then without understanding, natural affection, implacable and given to a reprobate mind use those judgements to convict all without understanding. Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.  A proselyte is a person who has converted from one opinion, religion, or party to another, especially recently.

 

 

Romans2:1 “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.”

Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds.2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 4 not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

When you seek to convict someone before they have reached the seat of judgement and before the fullness of their case is put before God when he will apply the WHOLE of his law with full knowledge and understanding then you push those away from the whole of the law and the understanding of it which will lead them to repentance.  But instead you take a partial knowledge of a law and judgement that has not been revealed fully unto you and use it to impose “the wrath of God” upon them that God has not imposed sentence on them in the day you condemned them.  WOE unto those who do that and scatter the flock making them feel as if their life is over and helpless because they have been condemned by the words of the preacher who has not studied to show themselves approved unto God.

 

Jeremiah 23:1 “WOE BE UNTO THE PASTORS THAT DESTROY AND SCATTER THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE! SAITH THE LORD.”

Job 8:3 3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?Job 34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.24 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

 

Those who take the laws and judgements of God and construe them to mean another thing and to condemn solely on part of the law and not the whole of the law is perverting the justice and judgements of God.  Those who spread the teaching of such perverted judgements spreads the perversion of the law to the people and not the whole of the law causing them to become perverted and corrupt in their ways.

 

Jeremiah 23:1 WOE BE UNTO THE PASTORS THAT DESTROY AND CATTER THE SHEEP OF MY PASTURE! SAITH THE LORD.

2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.17 They say still unto them that despise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord.34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house.

You can not let these preachers, prophets and pastors stand in front of you saying I have a word from the Lord God when they have not studied Him, have not studied his words and his laws and have not sought to understand the whole of the law but instead teach and prophesy twisted up mangled distorted partial and perverted doctrines set forth by man and their opinions.  You must study to show yourselves approved.

Romans 2:5 the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

Now use the wisdom of God and answer this: On that day when a gay man and a pastor stands before God, do you believe that He will say to the man that has been gay “you have done my works and been pleasant in your speech to draw people unto God. You have not judged them because you knew you would be judged, but instead you taught them the truth of what you knew. You have told lies, but I’ve seen the lies you told, I searched your heart and I punished you for that which was wicked and did not for which i did not see was wicked. Even when condemned convicted and oppressed  you sang my songs, you gave to the poor and fed those you seen were hungry, you loved people and told them of God, but your mind was gay and loved another male so off to hell and damnation you go.”

Then turn to  the pastors and say: “Thou hast read the book to the people, and taught them as sheep. Your churches gave to the people at times and in ways, but you personally did not. But you still taught words in the book and had a church with hundreds or even thousands and you as the shepherd were taken care of very well with homes, cars and money. You have wanted for nothing because you have been speaking words in the book to sheep, so the sheep made sure the shepherd is kept great. But as the shepherd you forgot the sheep when the sheep had no homes or cars , or food or lights. You preached the words of the book to the sheep saying have faith little sheep and give. While thou wast kept great. You did not study history and law to understand God and his wisdom, but read from the book that was given to you. And you have spoken words of the book saying Today a people are condemned and hated by God, and turned them away from God by the thousands with these words while thou hast not studied to show thyself approved. But you were my not gay, so enter into the kingdom my favored son?

Use the wisdom of God and know that if God has an army he would not want anyone to be turned away from it and that he will be searching the heart that day, and not the bedroom. Use the wisdom of God and tell me: how is it he will answer these two on this day?

Ecclesiastes 5:8 “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”

400 Years A Slave

By Royal Awakening — 8 years ago

The Land of the Free (except slaves)

The year 1619 was the year in which the first black or ”African” slaves by Dutch ships arrived in the British colonies of North America or what is known today as The United States.  From the year 1619 to 1865 the blacks in America endured the worst kind of slavery and servitude mankind had never known before.  We know about it. We hear it every year during black history month ( even though most accounts are filtered and downplayed to protect the public from all of the horrific atrocities that befell the American slaves ). In the year 1865 the 13th amendment and the Emancipation Proclamation came into place changing the status of “slaves” to “free”. XIII NEITHER SLAVERY NOR INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE, EXCEPT AS A PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME WHEREOF THE PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN DULY CONVICTED, SHALL EXIST WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, OR ANY PLACE SUBJECT TO THEIR JURISDICTION

1619-1865 = 246 Years a Slave

By reading this we can safely deduce that this amendment left open 2 forms of slavery and servitude allowed in the United States.  Number 1: Penal labor when convicted of a crime.  When you are convicted of a crime and go to jail or prison you are then again enslaved and become a source of free labor for the government or state.  We know that there has been a mass incarceration of blacks since this institution on this proclamation; even when it was illegal and a jail-able offense just to look at a person of another race or to even gather together.  Therefore putting them in prisons and reducing them to slavery once again.

Credit System = Debt System

The second kind of slavery or servitude is allowed with the words “nor involuntary servitude” leaving open voluntary servitude.  Well who would volunteer to slavery or servitude?  Well the day you have children you voluntarily give them over to your government to be issued certificates and numbers that place them within their system of ownership.  They become property just like a vehicle or home.  If you skip a tax payment on your home or car even if you hold the title can they still not come take it?  Stop sending your child to school can they not come take it? If it is yours no one should be able to stake claim on whats yours and take it.Once you or your children are entered into this system and assigned a class, they are indoctrinated and then put into a work-field in which many make only enough to pay for housing and food.  Then a system of debt is imposed upon them saying you do not make enough so you have to get credit, extend yourself beyond what you make and pay it back, therefore ensuring your remain within their system of work to continuously pay off the debt you have incurred to live.  And they promote this system as more valuable saying the more we can extend a debt to you the higher your status will be.

1865 – 1965 = 100 Years a Slave

So since 1619 the “African Americans” in America has been subjected to many different forms of slavery, and still subject to rules laws and practices that were enacted before, during and after the times of “voluntary servitude” in the United States. 1865 did not end slavery in the United States at all, it just concealed it under better terms.In the South, there were “slave codes“; the goal was of these codes were to reduce influence of free blacks (particularly after slave rebellions) because of their potential influence on slaves. Restrictions included prohibiting them from voting (although North Carolina allowed this before 1831), bearing arms, gathering in groups for worship and learning to read and write. A major purpose of these laws was to preserve slavery.

Black Codes

Black Codes were laws In the United States passed by Democrat-controlled Southern states in 1865 and 1866, after the Civil War.  Black Codes were also enacted by Northern states such as Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and New York prior to the Civil War to ban free blacks from residing in those states.  These codes were modeled after the earlier slave codes and had the intent of restricting the freedom of black people, and of compelling them to work in a labor economy based on low wages or debt.  States were particularly concerned with controlling movement and labor, as slavery had given way to a free labor system. Although freedmen had been emancipated, their lives were greatly restricted by the Black Codes.Black Codes were part of a larger pattern of Southern whites trying to suppress the new freedom of emancipated black slaves, the freedmen.



The defining feature of the Black Codes was broad vagrancy law.  Homeless unemployed Black Americans were arrested and fined as vagrants or a person, often in poverty, who wanders from place to place without a home or regular employment or income.. Usually, the person could not afford the fine, and so was sent to work in convict leasing camps. In these camps is where they would remain, “paying their debt”, and inevitably be re-enlisted back into slavery by white slave holders.which allowed local authorities to arrest freedpeople for minor infractions and commit them to involuntary labor. Preexisting White American belief of Black inferiority informed post-war attitudes and white racial dominance continued to be culturally embedded; whites believed both that Black people were destined for servitude and that they would not work unless physically compelled.The racial divisions which slavery had created immediately became more obvious.  Blacks also bore the brunt of Southern anger over defeat in the War.  The Black Codes outraged public opinion in the North because it seemed the South was creating a form of quasi-slavery to negate the results of the war.The 1865–1866 Black Codes were an overt manifestation of the system of white supremacy that continued to dominate the American South.

Because legal enforcement depended on so many different local codes, which underwent less scrutiny than statewide legislation, , that even under military rule, local jurisdictions were able to continue a racist pattern of law enforcement, as long as it took place under a legal regime that was superficially race-neutral.  In 1893–1909 every Southern state except Tennessee passed new vagrancy laws.  These laws were more severe than those passed in 1865, and used vague terms that granted wide powers to police officers enforcing the law.  In wartime, Blacks might be disproportionately subjected to “work or fight” laws, which increased vagrancy penalties for those not in the military.

A general system of legitimized anti-Black violence, as exemplified by the Ku Klux Klan, played a major part in enforcing the practical law of white supremacy. The constant threat of violence against Black people (and White people who sympathized with them) maintained a system of extralegal terror.

“Jump Jim Crow”

The origin of the phrase “Jim Crow” has been attributed to “Jump Jim Crow”, a song-and-dance caricature of blacks performed by a white actor in blackface.   As a result of Rice’s fame, “Jim Crow” by 1838 had become a pejorative expression meaning “Negro”. When southern legislatures passed laws of racial segregation directed against blacks at the end of the 19th century, these statutes became known as Jim Crow laws.

Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States beginning in the 1890’s.  These laws continued to be enforced until 1965.  They mandated by law racial segregation in all public facilities in the states of the former Confederate States of America, starting in 1896 with a “separate but equal” status for Blacks in railroad cars.  These Jim Crow laws revived principles of the 1865 and 1866 Black Codes, which had previously restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of Blacks in America.

White Southerners encountered problems in learning free labor management after the end of slavery, and they resented black Americans, who represented the Confederacy’s Civil War defeat: With white supremacy being challenged throughout the South; many whites sought to protect their former status by threatening, lynching and killing blacks who exercised their new rights.”  White Democrats used their power to segregate public spaces and facilities in law and reestablish social dominance over blacks in the South.

Separate but Equal: The Law of the Land

Separate but equal was a legal doctrine in United States constitutional law according to which racial segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, adopted in 1868, which guaranteed “equal protection” under the law to all citizens. Under the doctrine, as long as the facilities provided to each race were equal, state and local governments could require that services, facilities, public accommodations, housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation be segregated by race, which was already the case throughout the former Confederacy

Though segregation laws existed before this decision it emboldened segregation states during the Jim Crow era, which had commenced in 1876 and supplanted the Black Codes, which restricted the civil rights and civil liberties of blacks during the Reconstruction Era after the civil war. 18 states had segregation laws.

In practice the separate “but equal” facilities provided to blacks were always separate but rarely equal; usually they were not even close to equal, or they did not exist at all.  The facilities and social services offered to African-Americans were almost always of lower quality than those offered to white Americans; for example, many African American schools received less public funding per student than nearby white schools. In Texas, the state established a state-funded law school for white students without any law school for black students.  The majority of all black schools received old textbooks, used equipment, and poorly prepared or trained teachers.  A study conducted by the American Psychological Association found that black students were emotionally impaired when segregated at a young age.  State voting right restrictions, such as literacy tests and poll taxes created an environment that made it almost impossible for blacks to vote.   The finding contributed to at least 58 more years of legalized discrimination and oppression against black and colored people in the United States.

Strange Fruit Hanging From Those Trees

Lynching is an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a group.  The verb comes from the phrase “Lynch Law”, a term for a punishment without trial. Two Americans during this era are generally credited for inventing the phrase: Charles Lynch and William Lynch, who both lived in Virginia in the 1780s.  Charles Lynch was a Virginia planter and American Revolutionary who headed a county court in Virginia which incarcerated Loyalist supporters of the British for up to one year during the war. While he lacked proper jurisdiction, he claimed this right by arguing wartime necessity.  Subsequently, he prevailed upon the Congress of the Confederation to pass a law which specifically exonerated him and his associates from wrongdoing.  This move by the Congress provoked controversy, and it was in connection with this that the term “Lynch law”, meaning the assumption of extrajudicial authority, came into common parlance in the United States leading to many “lynchings” of blacks in the United States.

In the United States, during the decades before the Civil War assertive free-Blacks, Latinos in the South West and runaways were the objects of racial lynching.  But lynching attacks on U.S. blacks, especially in the South, increased dramatically in the aftermath of the Civil War, after slavery had been abolished and recently freed black men gained the right to vote.  More than 3500 were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968.

Lynching, as a form of punishment for presumed criminal offenses were performed by self-appointed commissions, mobs, or vigilantes without due process of law took place in the United States both before and after the American Civil War, most commonly in Southern states and Western frontier settlements. Racist extremism with an eye to viciousness and public spectacle was frequently evident, as exemplified by the first lynching in St. Louis when in 1835 a black man named McIntosh who killed a deputy sheriff while being taken to jail was captured, chained to a tree, and burned to death on a corner lot downtown in front of a crowd of over 1,000 people.  In the South, members of the abolitionist movement or other people who opposed slavery were usually targets of lynch mob violence before the Civil War. During the war, Southern Home Guard units sometimes lynched white Southerners who they suspected of being Unionists or deserters.

After the war, southern whites struggled to maintain their social dominance. Secret vigilante and insurgent groups such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) instigated extrajudicial assaults and killings in order to keep whites in power and discourage freedmen from voting, working, gathering together, worshipping  and getting educated. They also sometimes attacked Northerners, teachers, and agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau.  Mobs usually alleged crimes for which they lynched blacks. In the late 19th century, however, journalist Ida B. Wells showed that many presumed crimes were either exaggerated or had not even occurred. Mob violence arose as a means of enforcing white supremacy and it frequently verged on systematic political terrorism. “The Ku Klux Klan, paramilitary groups, and other whites united by frustration and anger ruthlessly defended the interests of white supremacy. The magnitude of the extralegal violence which occurred during election campaigns reached epidemic proportions.  During Reconstruction after the war, the Ku Klux Klan and others used lynching as a means to control blacks, forcing them to work for planters and preventing them from exercising their right to vote.

Emmett Louis Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African-American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after a white woman said she was offended by him in her family’s grocery store.  Till’s reported behavior, perhaps unwittingly, violated the strictures of conduct for an African American male interacting with a white woman in the Jim Crow era South.   Several nights after the store incident, a few men went armed to Till’s great-uncle’s house and abducted the boy. They took him away and beat and mutilated him before shooting him in the head and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River. Three days later, Till’s body was discovered and retrieved from the river.

In September 1955, Bryant and Milam were acquitted by an all-white jury of Till’s kidnapping and murder. Protected against double jeopardy, the two men publicly admitted in a 1956 interview with Look magazine that they had intentionally killed Till.  In 2017 the woman accuser admitted that “inappropriate action” from Emmett till never occurred.

A lot of these laws, practices and doctrines were overturned and supposedly outawed by a series of Supreme Court decisions, starting with Brown v. Board of Education of 1954. However, the overturning of segregation laws in the United States was a long process that lasted through much of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, involving federal legislation (especially the Civil Rights Act of 1964), and many court cases.

1965 – 2017 =  52 Years a Slave

The Civil Rights Act of 1964  is a landmark civil rights and US labor law in the United States[5] that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.[6] It prohibited unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations.  Its duty is to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment. The Act was signed into law on July 2, 1964.

This law was not without opposition.  When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964, the “Southern Bloc” of 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage. Said Russell: “We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states.

There were white business owners who claimed that Congress did not have the constitutional authority to ban segregation in public accommodations. For example, Moreton Rolleston, the owner of a motel in Atlanta, Georgia, said he should not be forced to serve black travelers, saying, “the fundamental question…is whether or not Congress has the power to take away the liberty of an individual to run his business as he sees fit in the selection and choice of his customers”.  Rolleston claimed that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a breach of the Fourteenth Amendment and also violated the Fifth and Thirteenth Amendments by depriving him of “liberty and property without due process”.

Resistance to the public accommodation clause continued for years on the ground, especially in the South.  When local college students in Orangeburg, South Carolina attempted to desegregate a bowling alley in 1968, they were violently attacked, leading to rioting and what became known as the “Orangeburg massacre.”  Resistance by school boards continued into the next decade, with the most significant declines in black-white school segregation only occurring at the end of the 1960s and the start of the 1970s in the aftermath of the Green v. County School Board of New Kent County (1968) court decision that held that New Kent County‘s freedom of choice plan did not constitute adequate compliance with the school board’s responsibility to determine a system of admission to public schools on a non-racial basis. The Supreme Court mandated that the school board must formulate new plans and steps towards realistically converting to a desegregated system.

Rodney King Riots

2 Videos

Fast Forward to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, also known as the Rodney King riots.  These riots were a series of riots, lootings, arsons, and civil disturbances that occurred in Los Angeles County, California in April and May 1992. The unrest began after a trial jury acquitted four officers of the Los Angeles Police Department of the use of excessive force in the videotaped arrest and beating of Rodney King. It then spread throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area as thousands of people rioted over a six-day period following the announcement of the verdict.  Before the release of the Rodney King tape which showed footage of King being beaten by police while lying on the ground, minority community leaders in Los Angeles had repeatedly complained about harassment and excessive use of force by LAPD officers.  An independent commission formed after the release of the tape concluded that a “significant number” of LAPD officers “repetitively use excessive force against the public and persistently ignore the written guidelines of the department regarding force,” and that bias related to race, gender, and sexual orientation were regularly contributing factors in use of excessive force.

Mark Fuhrman and the O.J. Simpson Trial

The Fuhrman tapes are 13 hours of taped interviews given by Los Angeles police officer Mark Fuhrman to writer Laura McKinny between 1985 and 1994. The tapes include many racist slurs and remarks made by Fuhrman, including uses of the word “nigger,” descriptions of police brutality perpetrated on black suspects, misogynist slurs and descriptions of the harassment and intimidation of female Los Angeles police officers by male officers. Portions of the tapes were admitted into evidence during the O. J. Simpson murder case. In the tapes Fuhrman also made many references to the “planting of evidence” and implied that police brutality and evidence planting were common practice in the Los Angeles Police Department.

The 1995 OJ Simpson murder trial was one of the most sensational moments in recent US history. The world watched as the fault-lines of American race relations were laid bare in a Los Angeles courtroom. Simpson, a former American football player and actor, was found not guilty of murder in October 1995. His eight-month trial took place just three years since riots had rocked LA, following the acquittal of four white LAPD officers  filmed viciously beating black motorist Rodney King.  The O.J. Simpson trial as well as the Rodney King Trial highlighted and put on center stage racial tensions and injustices suffered by Blacks in America in the 1990’s.

Black Lives Matter

Fast Forward to 2013  after George Zimmerman was acquitted  of the shooting death of black unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin.  This killing as well as its subsequent acquittal was made into a public outcry because of decades of unfair and unequal treatment towards the Black communities and people, especially within the criminal justice system and by the hands of police whose duty was supposed to be to protect and serve them.

The killing of an unarmed 17 year old black male walking home with nothing but an Arizona tea and a bag of skittles and no one was held accountable; served to prove to the black community that no matter what you did or didn’t do as long as you were black you were an open target and the system would not grant fair justice for them, even in death.

In the weeks, months and years since there began to be a public outcry against black lives that were taken senselessly by the criminal justice system; the Black Lives Matter movement began to bring attention and focus to the tragic losses of life that continued to occur within the black communities by the justice system.

Some of the most notable killings were:

Michael Brown

Unarmed Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.  In November, a grand jury declined to charge Wilson in the fatal shooting. Brown’s death and the lack of charges against Wilson sparked protests, some of them violent, in Ferguson and across the nation.  On March 4, the Department of Justice announced that it too would not charge Wilson for the shooting after an exhaustive investigation.

Tamir Rice

Tamir Rice, 12, was shot and killed by Cleveland police after officers mistook his toy gun for a real weapon.  The two police officers involved, Timothy Loehmann and Frank Garmback, have not been charged.  Rice’s family has filed wrongful death lawsuit against the officers and the city of Cleveland.

 

Eric Garner

Eric Garner, 43, was killed after he was put in an illegal chokehold for 15 seconds by a white police officer — allegedly for selling loose cigarettes. Garner said “I can’t breathe” 11 times as he was held down by several officers on a sidewalk.  The officer who put Garner in the chokehold, Daniel Pantaleo, was not charged.  Garner’s death sparked peaceful protests across the nation, with demonstrators adopting the phrase “I Can’t Breathe” as a symbol and slogan of protest.

Philando Castile

On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile was shot and killed by a St. Anthony, Minnesota, police officer, after being pulled over in Falcon Heights, a suburb of Saint Paul.  A St. Anthony police officer patrolling Larpenteur Avenue radioed to a nearby squad that he planned to pull over the car and check the IDs of the driver and passenger, saying, “The two occupants just look like people that were involved in a robbery. The driver looks more like one of our suspects, just because of the wide-set nose. I couldn’t get a good look at the passenger.”

According to dashcam video, after Yanez asked for Castile’s driver’s license and proof of insurance, Castile gave him his proof of insurance card, which Yanez appeared to glance at and tuck in his outer pocket. Castile then calmly informed Yanez: “Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me.”  Before Castile completed the sentence, Yanez interrupted and calmly replied, “OK,” and placed his right hand on the holster of his own holstered weapon. Yanez said, “Okay, don’t reach for it, then … don’t pull it out.” Castile responded, “I’m not pulling it out,” and Reynolds also said, “He’s not pulling it out.” Yanez repeated, raising his voice, “Don’t pull it out!” as he quickly pulled his own gun with his right hand and reached inside the driver’s window with his left hand. Reynolds screamed, “No!” Yanez removed his left arm from the car and fired seven shots in the direction of Castile in rapid succession. Reynolds yelled, “You just killed my boyfriend!” Castile moaned and said, “I wasn’t reaching for it.” Reynolds loudly said, “He wasn’t reaching for it.” Before she completed her sentence, Yanez again screamed, “Don’t pull it out!” Reynolds responded, “He wasn’t.” Yanez yelled, “Don’t move! Fuck!”  Of the seven shots fired by Yanez at point blank range, five hit Castile and two of those hit and pierced his heart.

On June 16, 2017, Officer Yanez was acquitted of all charges. He had been charged with manslaughter and reckless discharge of a firearm.

Sandra Bland

Sandra Bland was a 28-year-old black woman who was found hanged in a jail cell in Waller County, Texas, on July 13, 2015, three days after being arrested during a traffic stop.  Officer Encinia stopped Bland on the afternoon of July 10, 2015 in Prairie View, Texas, for failure to signal a lane change.  Dashcam footage shows that Encinia initially wrote a routine traffic violation warning for Bland. After he returns to her car and speaks briefly to her again, he asks her to put out her cigarette. She responds, “Why do I have to put out a cigarette when I’m in my own car?” Encinia orders her to “get out of the car”, and, when she repeatedly refuses to exit, he tells her she is under arrest. Bland repeatedly asks why she is under arrest, and Encinia responds, “I am giving you a lawful order.”  She refuses to leave her car, stating she is not under arrest as she is unaware of the reason and not obliged to. Encinia then opens her car door and tells her more than a dozen times to get out of the car before he tries to pull her out. After struggling, he draws his taser and points it at Bland, shouting “I will light you up! Get out! Now!”, at which point she exits her vehicle.  

Once Bland is out of her car, the officer orders her to put down her cell phone and tells her she is going to jail. In response, Bland asks why. In the video, both Bland and the officer move to the passenger side of the vehicle and are no longer visible, while they continue to argue heatedly. Bland can be heard crying and screaming.   Police stated that at 9:00 a.m. July 13,  Bland was found “in a semi-standing position” hanging in her cell.  Her death, which was ruled a suicide, was followed by protests against her arrest, disputing the cause of death, and alleging racial violence against her.

A grand jury declined to indict the county sheriff and jail staff for a felony relating to Bland’s death. In January 2016, Encinia was indicted for perjury for making false statements about the circumstances surrounding Bland’s arrest and he was subsequently fired by the Texas Department of Public Safety In September 2016, Bland’s mother settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the county jail and police department for $1.9 million and some procedural changes. In June 2017, the perjury charge against Encinia was dropped in return for his agreement to end his law enforcement career.

Now They Seek to Label YOU as Terrorists!

Since its inception the Black Lives Matter movement has received stark criticism from its opposers. Some critics accuse the movement of being anti-police.  A Sergeant of the Dallas Police Department filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against Black Lives Matter in September 2016, which accused the group of inciting a “race war.”  Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that Black Lives Matter is “inherently racist” and called the movement anti-American. According to Giuliani, the Black Lives Matter movement divides people and exacerbates racial tensions.

There have also been attempts and petitions signed to label the Black Lives Matter movement as a terrorist group, citing “Terrorism is defined as ‘the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims… This definition is the same definition used to declare ISIS and other groups, as terrorist organizations…Black Lives Matter earned this title due to its actions in Ferguson, Baltimore, and even at a Bernie Sander rally, as well as all over the United States and Canada.”   It been asked that the Pentagon recognize the group as such “on the grounds of principle, integrity, morality, and safety.” (rumor has it they have labeled them as that).

In a memo obtained by Foreign Policy from early August, the FBI claims that the continued concern over “alleged” police abuse has fueled a rise in violence against police. And that rise in violence has produced a new kind of terrorist. It reads in part: “The FBI assesses it is very likely Black Identity Extremist (BIE) perceptions of police brutality against African Americans spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence,.”  “The FBI assesses it is very likely incidents of alleged police abuse against African Americans since then have continued to feed the resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity within the Black Identity Extremist movement,” the report states.   So basically, the future likelihood of threats from a group that as far as we know does not exist (yet) is a potential threat that needs to be taken care of.

The National Defense Authorization Act greatly expands the power and scope of the federal government to fight the War on Terror, including codifying into law the indefinite detention of terrorism suspects without trial. Under the new law the US military has the power to carry out domestic anti-terrorism operations on US soil.  Former president Barack Obama when discussing  this law was quoted saying “There may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes, in some cases because evidence may be tainted; but who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States.”  There may be = “there is a possibility” just like there was a possibility of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq… He was also quoted saying “If and when we determine that the United States must hold individuals to keep them from carrying out an act of war; we will do so within a system that involves judicial and congressional oversight.” and “Right now in distant training camps and in crowded cities, there are people plotting to take American lives. That will be the case a year from now; five years from now; and in all probability ten years from now.”  In other words if we think, feel or assume you are a threat to the United States in any form you are a terrorist (again with the definition being “the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims”) in order to prevent these things from possibly and probably inevitably occurring we have to detain these people on our assumptions without trial until we determine there is no threat.

Dig That Ditch For Yourselves

For 398 years from 1619 to 2017 blacks in America have been violently targeted for oppression and unfair treatment for political as well as financial gain.  Whether it was via the whip and shotguns by the slave master used to intimidate the slaves and keep them under control, the Ku Klux Klan and their nooses, robes and burning crosses keeping blacks from voting, or even by the police and military force that violently shuts down peaceful protests and marches against unfair treatment and arrest any participants they’d like with threats of more violence and arrests if their protests continue.  After 398 years of this you seek to label blacks as the terrorists?

Just in case no one was keeping track; it was not blacks who hijacked and crashed 2 commercial jets into twin towers of World Trade Center; and hijacked 2 more jets and crashed them  into the Pentagon and a field in rural Pa. leaving Total dead and missing around 2,992.  It wasn’t blacks who placed a car bomb outside a federal office building in Oklahoma City, which exploded collapsing wall and floors killing 168 people, including 19 children and 1 person who died in rescue effort.  It wasn’t blacks who mailedlLetters containing anthrax spores to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

Kipland Philip Kinkel (born August 30, 1982)

Adam Lanza

20-year-old Adam Lanza, killed twenty-six people and himself. He first killed his mother at their shared home before taking her guns and driving to the school. Lanza brought four guns with him. He killed twenty first-grade children aged six and seven during the attack at school, along with six adults, including four teachers, the principal, and the school psychologist. Two other persons were injured. Lanza then killed himself as police arrived at the school.

James Holmes

James Eagan Holmes was convicted of the murder of 12 people and the attempted murder of 70 others in the 2012 Aurora shooting at a Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Holmes surrendered outside the theater and informed officers he had also  booby-trapped his apartment with explosives, which were defused one day later by a bomb squad.

Omar Mateen

Police say 29-year-old Omar Mateen opened fire at Pulse Orlando nightclub in Orlando, Fla. in June 2016. At least 49 people were killed, and more than 50 were wounded and taken to area hospitals. Mateen was killed during a firefight with police.

That’s 140 deaths and 150 injuries just between these 8 people alone.

Strange Fruit in a Strange Land

Acts 7:6

Acts 7:6 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.  7 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

We know the story of Abraham and his children, and the covenant in which God made with him. Genesis 15:12  And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

You is Kind You is Smart You is Important

You are that seed.  This and many other prophecies are about you.  The Bible is the other side of black history; that has not been taught to you.


Jeremiah 29:14 And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith theLord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

God is calling his children.

2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I’ll leave off with these New Testament parables which were written about these things:

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Get Off the Bus, Rosa!

Reclaiming the True History of a Forgotten People

For generations, African Americans have been taught that their history begins with slavery and the Civil Rights Movement. The narrative is often reduced to Rosa Parks refusing to give up her bus seat, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. having a dream, and Harriet Tubman freeing enslaved people. Each year, Black History Month reinforces this limited perspective, focusing primarily on slavery and a handful of pioneers. But what about before 1619? Where were you before the transatlantic slave trade? Who were you? Where are your books, your history, your true identity?

A People with a Rich History

The truth is that there are people all over the world who can trace their lineage back thousands of years. Yet, the dominant narrative implies that Black history begins when the first African was sold into slavery, as if Black people suddenly appeared out of the soil of Africa in the 1600s, grew like crops, and were harvested for the slave trade. This is a deception. Your history did not begin in bondage—it began as a chosen people, beloved by God, but disciplined like a father disciplines his children.

The Biblical Identity of a Scattered People

The Bible speaks of a people chosen by God—descendants of Israel—who were rebellious, stiff-necked, and often turned away from Him. Yet, they were also powerful, wise, and filled with music, dance, and celebrations. These people were disciplined by God for their disobedience, repeatedly exiled and enslaved under foreign rulers.

  • Jeremiah 31:9 – “For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.”
  • Jeremiah 31:20 – “Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.”

Despite their disobedience, God never abandoned His people. Each time they were taken into captivity, He sent messengers to guide, teach, and awaken them. However, many of these messengers were mocked, ignored, or even killed.

  • 2 Chronicles 36:15 – “And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place.”
  • Isaiah 18:2 – “Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled.”
  • Malachi 3:1 – “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me.”

A Cycle of Captivity and Redemption

Each time Israel turned away from God, their captivity under foreign nations grew longer and harsher. It was a pattern similar to a prison sentence—each act of rebellion led to a stricter punishment.

  • Job 36:11-12 – “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.”
  • Jeremiah 25:11 – “And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.”
  • Judges 3:8 – “Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.”
  • Judges 3:14 – “So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.”

Yet, God always left a way for His people to return. When they repented and cried out to Him, He restored them.

  • Jeremiah 29:10 – “That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.”
  • Ezekiel 39:28 – “Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.”
  • Deuteronomy 30:3 – “That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.”
  • Zephaniah 3:20 – “At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you.”

A Light to the Nations

Israel’s suffering was not just a punishment; it was also a lesson for the world. God intended for His people to be an example of righteousness, showing strength with humility, fairness, and justice. Through their trials and restoration, even the nations that enslaved them would come to know the Most High.

  • Psalm 106:47 – “Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.”
  • Isaiah 56:8 – “The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.”

The Hidden Truth They Don’t Want You to Know

This is the history that has been kept from you. Your identity has been stolen, your heritage erased, and your true origins concealed. The world has told you that your story begins with chains, but the truth is, you were once kings, priests, and a chosen people with a divine covenant.

It’s time to wake up.

Get off the bus, Rosa, and get into your history.
