Firstly, we know revolution is a family or communal affair. It is only when all segments of community desire it is time for collective action that shit happens. Mamas and grandmamas are excited, dads and granddads, intellectuals and street negroes, thugs and scientists, The time forces all elements together into a cohesive whole, not without contradictions, but we ought to learn something from the past to move forward this time, up the Sisyphusian mountain without dropping the rock. Elijah said we must force black unity! Maybe if we don't force it, it will be forced upon us by facts on the ground, if we don't wait too long. Time is always of the essence. America is the last bastion of white supremacy and we sit in the belly of the beast. His plan is obviously to lock up as many as possible, until the effective black army is incarcerated, in other words, capture the men and take the women or booty, spoils of war, turning them into collaborators, even more
so than now with their addiction to white supremacy values, including materialism. A general strike would move things to another level. This has worked and is working around the world. Didn't it work in Ukraine? What about now in Thailand? Bolivia, Philippines. Again, unity is the great weapon. Further, as Castro says, the weapons of today are not guns but consciousness. We could flood the hood with black conscious literature and turn some of the reactionary tide. People love the truth, especially as it affects their everyday lives, such as male/female relations, brother to brother, father to son, mother to daughter. Parents are losing their children and don't know what to do, but they know church is not working, school is not working, college is not working, there must be something that works, that can turn their children around, get them on the right path, save their lives, literally. WE know it was conscious literature plus the times that turned us
radical, and so it must be again, the times are here but much of the conscious word is in books not accessible to the people--yes there is conscious literature on the streets of New York, Newark and a few other places, but not in a big way, as in the way Khomaini sent his tapes into Iran from exile in Paris. I told this to Ancestor Asa Hilliard, rip, but he was concerned about nigguhs bootlegging his lectures when he should have been happy they were/are doing so, and least they are getting to a generation in need. Get my drift? peace and revolution, brother. marvin

Subject: we got needs

Ok, I feel that, but how can that wisdom lead to either a pay day or maybe even a stride toward freedom.

We currently lack a frame of reference to shape a movement for change. Even if baby steps we need to start talking about a basic game plan.

Every body can ya-ta-ya-ta, but strategic thinking and a plan take another kind of brother and sister.
