One day in the life by Marvin X

Today I was at the Black Vegan Mobb Cafe on Lakeshore in Oakland. I asked a masked man if he had ordered? He said yes and informed me he was Geoffrey, owner of Geoffrey's Inner Circle, the prime black venue in the Bay. As I couldn't see his face, I said you ain't Geoffrey! He pulled the mask aside and I could see it was indeed him. When I asked how he was doing, he looked at me like I was a damn fool even though he knew it was a rhetorical question. Bad, he said.

You know they planned this long time ago. I sensed he was not just talking about Covid19 but the interlocking structural collateral damage, especially for black people who suffer perrenial social and economic insecurity. The subprime loan scam robbed North American Africans of our basic wealth, home ownership. Covid19 may be the nail in the coffin of black economic recovery, and the literal coffin for a people with multiple physical and mental health issues. Since America is giving out trillions of dollars to resuscitate the American economy and black businesses appear left in the cold, we suggest America issue a Reparations check to each North American African in the amount of one million dollars, just for starters!

As Geoffrey Pete departed the Vegan Mobb Cafe, I shouted, "Did you get your relief check or business loan?" Again, he looked at me with an expression that came through his mask, "Nigga, please!"

Black Bird Press is proud to announce the release of Tarik, a filmscript by Michael Satchell. It is historical fiction on the life of General Tarik Ibn Ziyad who led his army of Moorish and Arab warriors into Spain, 711 A.D. It chronicles his childhood and adulthood as a warrior. Gibraltar is named in honor of him (Arabic: Gebal=Mountain, Tarik). Because of racism, Tarik returned to Africa after two years, although the Moors remained in Spain 700 years.

Parable of the elephant and the roach

The elephant was such a giant creature, a roach could crawl over him unnoticed, unfelt. He was the biggest creature in the kingdom. Everybody feared him. He stepped on all who got in his way, just trampled on them or sat on them, crushing them to the earth. And then one day a roach crawled into his ear and sat down just as the elephant sometimes did.The roach wouldn't move. The mighty beast tried to shake him loose but he couldn't.

Soon the elephant developed an Inner ear infection causing him to lose his balance. He stumbled and stumbled until he fell and his dizziness made him fall again and again. All the creatures in the kingdom rejoiced and cheered at the sight of the great beast down on the ground, looking sad and pitiful. The roach didn't move from inside his ear. Then he decided to dance in the elephant's ear, further inflaming and damaging the beast's ear that caused an infection. Soon the beast lost it's hearing and stumbled about deaf dumb and blind. One day as he wailed and stumbled about he fell into a chasm and was no more. As he was going down the precipice, the roach leaped from his ear and landed on a ledge. The roach climbed back up to solid ground.

Oh, Elijah, you told us the modern Babylon would fall

Oh, Elijah Muhammad, you told us America, the great nation of descendants of slave makers and so-called Negro slaves, i.e., Africans caught in the American slave system (Ed Howard term), would fall to her knees for her crimes against the righteous. You said her dollar would be used as toilet paper and no one would trade in her gold, silver and souls of men. You said her women would become the filth that filth produced. You said abortion was her death plan for the black nation. You said the serpent who deceived the world would one day be plagued with fires, drought, earthquakes, famine and all manner of diseases. You said she would be attacked by her enemies within, a house divided as she has divided the world.


Oh, Elijah, that dreadful day has arrived when sport and play is no more; nightclubs, bars, restaurants and many stores boarded; social and religious meetings, even funerals, alas, hospital visits not allowed; hugs and handshakes no more. The new Babylon is on the way of Greece, Rome, England, USSR, Egypt and other empires that are no more. Woe to America, you cannot be saved until you do justice to your former slaves and the native people you gave the gift of genocide.

Rich man blues by poet Marvin X

Marvin X attended a conference on Islam at Duke University. Some say Islam ain't the blues. Some say Muslims shouldn't recite poetry, but Marvin X says ain't Al Qur'an poetry, unless you are deaf, dumb and blind?

Africans came as slaves into the American slave system from Mali and Senegal playing and singing Blues, but you have never heard of  Ali Farka of Mali who performed with BB King and the Rolling Stones. Ali Farka said, "My people have been playing music you call Blues ten thousand years." He knew it as the sacred music of his people. Okay, Muslims from Mali arrived as slaves in the Mississippi Delta and their music became known as Blues. Other Muslims arrived from Senegal with their version of what we know as Blues. They also brought rice into the Americas, specifically into Gullahland, South Carolina. The lyrics of the Blues may have changed but the sound, cries, shouts and wails remain true to the aboriginal sounds of the adhan created by Bilal, the first muezzin or caller to prayer. His voice was so beautiful and his devotion to Allah so adamant that the Prophet Muhammad said, "In Paradise I heard the footsteps of Bilal ahead of mine!" Bilal was tortured for his belief in the One God Allah, yet he called out Allah even as he was tortured, "Al Ahad, Al Ahad, Al Ahad,  The One, The One, The One!"

Covid19 and the Chinese Recovery Model

Marvin X captured writing "Round Midnight"

photo Adam Turner

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!"

--Marvin X

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.

Bob Marley - WAR

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.

Tarik, the African Moor who conquered Spain

Ṭāriq ibn Ziyād (Arabic: طارق بن زياد‎) also known simply as Tarik in English, was an African Berber Umayyad commander who initiated the Muslim conquest of Visigothic Hispania (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!

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.

Luther Vandross - A House Is Not a Home (from Live at Wembley)

The Greatest Lesson

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

was only a nigger for life."

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.
