From the deep structure of recent global political history, Covid19 has brought to the surface structure the most dictatorial elements of Stalinist and Maoist political ideology. Alas, Stalinism and Maoism have morphed into a symbiotic relationship with New World Order Globalism. Does this symbiotic relationship matter in the endgame, since blame of China does not exclude US economic partnerships of entities such as Silicon Valley's dream team and other US corporate entities inseparable from the Chinese global economy. In truth, we cannot speak of China without understanding the critical role of American corporations in league with Chinese economics and thus in harmony with the political regime that is in total and absolute control of said economy.
No matter who's responsible for Covid19, West or East, or the most likely combination thereof, the Recovery Model of the Chinese Communists is rapidly becoming the Global Recovery Model of the Covid19 pandemic.
But the unexpected consequences of the Chinese Recovery Model is clearly evident in the Covid19 pandemic. Covid19 is the most splendid opportunity for nation states to usurp all democratic rights of the masses without a whimper. The political "military occupation" of Wuhan under the guise of Covid19 is clear evidence how millions of workers/wage slaves can overnight fall victim to the axis of pharmaceutical, political and economic intersectionality.
Does anyone doubt Covid19 was either created or has coincidentally morphed into a political-economic weapon for regimes globally, no matter their ideology, Right or Left. Following the Chinese Recovery Model, Democratic and Far Right regimes are seizing this opportune moment to consolidate political and economic power from the people who have been suddenly raped of their consent. Under the guise of Covid19, citizens globally have been stripped naked of any semblance of democratic rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
As a journalist, I have been asked to comment on how North American Africans can benefit from this pandemic. In short, Covid19 reveals with unity North American Africans can win our total freedom overnight by a general strike of a few days. Imagine, if we instituted social distance from America by remaining in our homes for a week or two, America would bow to our every demand, whether reparations, land, sovereignty or whatever, including a general amnesty. We can see from Covid19, these motherfuckers will submit to any proposition to save the dollar or for political benefit for either or both parties. I am one thousand per cent positive, if we submit the National Agenda of North American Africans, America under pain of an economy minus North American Africans, momentarily, will give proper consideration to our agenda items. No struggle, no progress, Ancestor Frederick Douglass taught us. He also said, "Power concedes nothing without a demand! It never has and never will!"

The Honorable Dr Nathan Hare teaches us the Fictive Theory, i.e., everything the white man (and if I may add, his Negro political, intellectual and religious sycophants) says is a lie (fiction) until proven to be a fact. Don't believe fake news, Left or Right; fake politicians, Democratic or Republicans; fake religious leaders teaching pie in the sky in heaven (Christianity) and/or Paradise (Islam) after you die; fake intellectuals in perpetual and perennial crisis pontificating other worldism that doesn't deal with the national interests of North American Africans first down here on the ground in the belly of the beast.
The Fictive Theory suggests your own mind can deceive you, play tricks on you, i.e., psychosis, a break with reality, perhaps caused by nutricide and menticide, a condition of biochemical deficiency leading to mental and physical anorexia.
The Fictive Theory debunks belief as an unscientific notion. We can believe God caused Covid19 and God causes mass murder on the streets of Chicago every weekend, especially on hot summer nights.

Keyanna Celina the same govt who gave the Indigenous smallpox blankets and Black people syphilis with Tuskegee experiments had nothing to do with this virus? Elected officials knew about this and instead of warning the working class, they sold their stocks. Military exercise near Wuhan where over 109 countries participated, just weeks before outbreak in Wuhan. Keep falling for the same okey doke but these devils have no new tricks.

In the wee hours of the morning, Marvin X, poet, essayist, editor and publisher of Blackbird Press, does much of his best work. Silence and solitude are golden for him. We were privileged to capture this moment in the life of the master poet.
Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād (Arabic: طارق بن زياد) also known simply as Tarik in English, was an African BerberUmayyad commander who initiated the Muslim conquest of VisigothicHispania (Present day Spain and Portugal) in 711–718 A.D. He led a large army and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from the North African coast, consolidating his troops at what is today known as the Rock of Gibraltar. The name "Gibraltar" is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name Jabal Ṭāriq (جبل طارق), meaning "mountain of Ṭāriq",[1] which is named after him. The Moors (Africans/Arabs) ruled Spain from 711AD until 1492. Most of what we know of Spanish culture is Moorish African and Arab. After the fall of Grenada, Seville and Toledo, Moorish cities of grandeur, we never hear of Spanish greatness again. General Franco? WTF! Michael J. Satchell
Black Bird Press Publisher/Editor Marvin X conversing with author Michael Satchell. Marvin X is editing his script for a book version of the film script on the life of Tarik Ibn Ziyad. photo Adam Turner Black Bird Press is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of Tarik, a film script on the African Moorish General who conquered Spain, 711AD. The Rock of Gibraltar is named after him.
The author is San Francisco native Michael Satchell, a son of the Fillmore District and graduate of the Broadcasting Department at San Francisco State University.
Michael Satchell has been working on the script twenty years. It is in the genre of historical fiction and details the early life of the legendary African Moorish General, especially his relationship with his childhood friend and later wife Umm Hakim.
In 711AD Tarik led 7000 Moorish warriors and 600 Arab troops into Spain, first landing at what is known as the Rock of Gibraltar (Arabic Gebal=rock, Tar=Tarik).
According to historian DeGraft Johnson, author of African Glory, "The conquest of Spain was an African Moorish conquest."
Black Bird Press Publisher Marvin X says, "When Michael Satchell told me he was going to write a film script about Tarik, I doubted his ability because I knew it would be a grandoice undertaking. And as you know, I'm the only one qualified to do extravaganzas! LoL More recently when Michael handed me the script and told me his ideas for the film, I replied, "Who do you think you are, Cecil B DeMill?"
After reading and editing the script, I must confess that Michael Satchell is not guilty of hyperbole. It is a masterpiece of historical fiction. Black Bird Press is proud to be part of this project and we look forward to seeing the film produced. We know our brother Danny Glover will be part of this project! We plan to release the book version by Michael's birthday in early April.

The greatest lesson you will learn in America is who's a real nigga and who's a fake nigga. A real nigga is a nigga for life. A fake nigga does everything he can not to be a nigga.
Nigga is a multi billion dollar word and a fake nigga scared to say the word. I agree with Dr Cornel West, "How the NAACP going to have a funeral to bury the N word when they still acting like niggas." I agree with Baldwin, "We the only thing happened here. Ain't nothing else happened here but us!" When Chairman Mao introduced WEB Dubois before a million people in Tennimien Square, Dubois replied, "Thank you Chairman Mao for your gracious introduction, but in my country I am just a nigga!" I shall end this lesson with a quote from my dear friend and fellow poet, Dr. Neal Hall, "...It was only after playing football for the man, only after running track for the man, only after getting degrees from Cornell, Michigan State Medical School, Harvard; only after opening my medical- surgical private practice in ophthalmology that I had come to the realization that despite my achievements they sold me on - carrots on a white string) -I
The danger zone is everywhere, Ray Charles told us in his classic song The Danger Zone:
Look around and you will see
what's troubling me
the danger zone is everywhere....
What is the endgame of the current pandemic? Or should we call it Mandemic since we are confident Coronavirus is manmade and not divine. Of course the biblical Babylon was caused by the hands of man, his wicked behavior and satanic imaginings. What do we expect when filth is blowing in the wind, it is a simple matter that sooner than later, the plague shall be upon mankind, and yes, from his own hands rather than some ET from an unknown planet. And so we cannot hold hands, shake hands, kiss, but social distance is the new norm, etiquette, law. We thought the cellphone was the ultimate social distance device but apparently the mad scientists are not satisfied, their demon filled minds are aglow with the total destruction of human interaction. As in the black Muslim myth of Yakub who created the white man through genetic engineering by separating the dominant and recessive genes, the modern Yukub may have been in his bio-tech lab experimenting with a concoction that got out of hand. Or perhaps the experiment was released into the atmosphere to purposely infect the world for population control, to rid the world's elderly and infirm who are mostly useless to the mad scientists promoting globalism, i.e., the political-economic doctrine of the one-per cent club who fly about on the Lolita Express.
Thus the world is on lockdown: no trade, commerce, public entertainment, church, funerals, jails and prisons are being released of criminals (a good thing). The unintended consequence will be discovering Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror, for some, if not many, a most horrendous affair although demanded by the ancient philosophers as the first duty of man and woman. Shall Corona be the beer of enlightenment and self discovery, without trappings from the world of make believe?
Will Kamala be Biden's next firewall?
The US presidential election seems a boring enterprise since coronavirus, but of course there are those who say the pandemic is the symbiotic consequence of election politics, the ultimate weapon in the globalist arsenal to dispose of the wicked persona occupying the white house, especially since all else failed, from endless investigations including impeachment, and let us not neglect to mention the failed Democratic Socialist campaign of Bernie Sanders, his second failed attempt to offer Americans an alternative zeitgeist.
So let us go then from Bernie to Biden who has declared his running mate will be a woman. For those firewall believers, we suspect his choice will be Senator Kamala Harris the recent presidential candidate dropout. She seems to share Biden's center-right views so comfortable with the critical black firewall voters, the antidote to Trump's white firewall. We support Kamala, after all she is the Bay Area's homegirl and we must support our own.
James Sweeney joins ancestors: Some Deaths are lighter than a feather, some death higher than Mt. Tai
The celebration of life for James W. Sweeney was for a man who was higher than Mt Tai. His life was celebrated by family, friends, associates and those he mentored and guided. He was a renaissance man: poet, politician, lawyer, civil rights worker, mental health administrator, father, husband, lover of art and literature. Politically, he was a BSU leader at UC Riverside, protested the Vietnam war. He followed his uncle Wilmot Sweeney to a seat on the Berkeley City Council. Forced the name change of Grove Street to MLK Jr Drive.
As a Sacramento lobbyist, pushed through legislation that allows black women to wear any hair style they desire. Worked on the governor's commission for equity in the marijuana industry.
He was honored by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, the Mayor's of Berkeley and Los Angeles, Alameda County Board of Supervisors, the State of California Assembly, State of California NAACP, et al.
It was a great celebration of life for a great man who selflessly gave to his family and community. We love you James Wayne Sweeney, a true trooper, a general among soldiers of liberation.

Would you bet on a three legged horse or a man who can't recognize his daughter from his wife? Sadly the choice is between Twittledum and Twittledee, Biden or Trump. We say Biden because of the black firewall and Trump because of the white firewall. In a sane world, Bernie Sanders might be the more reasonable choice because of his progressive policies but in the current ideological quagmire, reason is not a consideration and sanity is an impossibility.
As per socialism/communism vs capitalism, the capitalist are the socialists and the poor wage slaves are forced sycophants of capitalism. Alas, we live in a so-called capitalist society with no capital. Most of us don't have one thousand dollars in the bank for emergency. And most wage slaves retire broke financially, physically and mentally.
But the real socialists (pseudo capitalists) rushed a multi billion dollar welfare check to the farmers in the tariff war that the farmers rejected in favor of trade.
The real socialists, fake capitalists, bailed out their brothers in crime, the bankers, telling us the banks were too big to fail, thus the wage slave home owners were scammed out of their basic wealth in the so-called capitalist system, i.e., home ownership. The sub-prime loan scammers suffered no prison time. Bernie Maduff went to prison for his pyramid schemes only because he robbed the rich rather than the poor.
Imagine, it costs more to be poor than to be rich. In the hood the poor pay more for everything, food, housing, medical, education, etc. The capitalist politicians have socialist medical care but offer the poor and wage slaves capitalist medical care. Why don't the people demand the same medical plan that politicians have, especially since the people pay for it?
The poor pay more at the grocery store for food not even considered food. Ghetto food is essentially petrochemical, derived from oil, not earth, thus toxic and prepares the poor for the pharmaceutical and medical industry. My friend is a retired truck driver who used to deliver food to supermarkets in Los Angeles. He said the food he delivered to rich neighborhoods was not the garbage he delivered to ghetto stores.
The pseudo capitalist, aka, socialists, practice a form of communalism called interlocking directorates whereby they rule by switching hats except there are no good guys wearing white hats, they are all blood suckers of the poor. They had to kill Mr. Epstein before he revealed all the members in his Lolita Express club!
Elijah told you no politician of this world can save you, yet you persist driving into a cul de sac, a dead end street. Year after year you vote Democratic Party, then get fucked four more years. Your voting rights are perennially violated, including renewal that indicates your rights are not permanent. Yet you are the most loyal citizen yet not a citizen. You were the first to die in the American revolution, Crispus Attucks, but still seeking revolution in Babylon. How long, oh Lord, how long?
As per socialism and capitalism, a sister noted on the news tonight that she was no better off under Democrats than Republications. So we think socialism will save us? Hell, we thought Rev. Jim Jones would save us. Some years ago Minister Farrakhan went on world tour and came "home" with the revelation that no matter where he went in any country, whether Christian, Muslim, Socialist, Communist, or Capitalist, black people were on the bottom.
I have had and still have many friends who were and are socialists, communists and capitalists. I don't give a damn about ideologies, religions, izms, schisms, sects, cults, just get me the hell out of this motherfucking bullshit called Americanism, the biggest lie on the planet that is rapidly being revealed as the whore Babylon, the haven for every filthy unclean bird. FYI, I left Babylon but was brought back against my will and thrown into prison. I have been under house arrest ever since. Vote for me, I will set you free.
