On the consent of the governed
Isn't it amazing how people flip the language. I call it the psycholinguistic crisis of changing the narrative. Consent of the governed has morphed into consent of the governors by the astute students of The Prince, the chief ideologue of political chicanery. Consent of the governed has been completely, yes, critically, separated from political policy, most especially on the issue of taxes. If there are policy issues involving taxes, the consent of the governed is ignored as if the people's money is not the people's money, but the treasury belongs to the governors, i.e. politicians, especially whatever political party holds power at the moment, and most often the party in power and the opposition agree to share in the ownership and disbursement of the people's treasury based on taxation. Such political chicanery is only possible because the people lack advocates (as if the politicians were not voted into office for the express purpose of advocating for the people, i.e., the consent of the governed). But alas, the lobbyists control the governors, i.e., politicians, who bow down to lobbyists to the detriment of the people who are perennially duped, Hoodwinked and Bamboozled (Malcolm X, on his b day, May 19). Lobbyists overpower the people and politicians because they do not run for office but are sycophants of corporations who endow politicians beyond a vote, they enrich politicians with kibbles and bits beyond the value of a vote. Even the Congressional Black Caucus is often steeped in Democratic Party ideology, i.e., loyalty, so deeply that they will vote for party above loyalty to the agenda of North American Africans. Right wing conservative Rush Limburg labeled them the Caucus of Black Caucasians. Perhaps he is politically correct, after all they voted to kidnap black revolutionary Sista Asata Shakur from Cuba, but reversed their vote when the consent of the governed informed them she was a member of the BLM or Black Liberation Army.
Recently former Black Panther Bobby Rush of Chicago voted to allow the government to invade homes of the people to make sure they submitted to Covid19 globalist regulations. Can you believe his legislation was labeled HR6666.
One day I asked my revolutionary comrade, Amiri Baraka, do we have lobbyists? He said yes we have lobbyists but they don't lobby for us! I said well what will it cost for them to lobby for us? He didn't answer me.
Not long ago I had lunch with some friends and colleagues, including a Washington DC lobbyist. An art professor asked him what he did since she didn't know him although most of us did. He informed her he was a lobbyist. She asked for whom? He said, "For anybody who pays me!" The professor went silent. But he informed me after lunch that the Republicans paid better than Democrats, although he came from the radical Bay Area, from Merritt College, although after I had departed but not to get usurped into the Black Panther Party that consumed student politics soon after I departed, 1964. He became a leader of the Soul Students Advisory Council that became the Black Students Union at Merritt and later throughout the nation at black and white colleges and universities.
But let us return to the main subject: are we not in a quagmire, a conundrum, a matrix of which we will need to have expertise beyond rocket scientists to extricate ourselves from the box, the black hole or white hole of Pax Americana. With our myriad mental and physical toxicities, we can't comprehend the complexity of interlocking directorates oppressing our liberation, yes, from a host of institutions that are often beyond our comprehension. Even the linguistics (fake news, fake blues, fake jazz, fake women with blond hair, dead hair, pants sagging of asses, men and women, fakism is a maze of word magic with ever changing identity confusion. Am I black, am I white, am I man, woman, trans, what? This identity confusion results from lack of manhood and womanhood training or rites of passage. See Jomo Kenyatta's ethnography of his Gikuyu tribe, Facing Mt. Kenya.
We came here as kidnapped African victims of the American slave system (American slave system, Ed Howard term). Then we became niggas/negroes, an invented phenomena of the slave system. There is no Negroland. So since there was no Negroland, we became Colored, although there is no land of colored people, in fact we discovered the colored people are the white people since black is not a color, black is the prime from which all colors derive. Elijah Muhammad had to inform us the colored man is the white man and we are the aboriginal people of the planet earth. Black is the prime from which all colors come. Black is the aboriginal in all cultures throughout the planet earth. In Europe the first white man was the black man, known as negrito and/or Grilmaldi. Elijah told us wherever you go on the planet earth you will find evidence we were there first, no matter China, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Arabia, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, Cambodia. And dismiss the white suprematist fake narrative that we were slaves in all the lands where we were the aboriginal inhabitants. The Arabs will tell you that black people were in Egypt before they came. Diop said the Egyptians and Canaanites were brothers. The Jews/Hebrews do not appear in Canaan until Abraham wanders into the land and mates with Sarah, producing Isaac from which the Jews or Hebrews originated. Then Abraham mated with his Egyptian servant and produced Ishmael, from which the Arabs descended. There were no Jews or Arabs before Abraham wandered into Canaan. The Egyptian empire extended from the Nile to the Tigres and Euphrates, from Yemen (Queen of Sheba land) to Palestine or Jerusalem, i.e. Canaan. See the classic study on Aboriginal Arabia, Wonderful Ethiopians of the ancient Cushite Empire, Drusilla Dunjee Houston, Black Classic Press, 1985.
Thus we cannot be Colored people or people of color since we are the prime from which all colors come or originate. Please do not refer to us as people of color.
