The Blue Print I

Last Month I stated I was going to introduce people of antiquity that I felt was of representation of  Power within the Black diaspora. I opted not to. Many due to my personal opinion that many of you may not have a solid foundation of what Power truly is in reference to our social conditions of today. Failure to understand or form a foundation for understanding of Power and Nationship in reference to today, I feel would and does lead to only processing historical information into the novelty folder. And that is just not how we conduct business here. This thing of our is about converting Information into Action. 

I also found it important to show respect to our Brothas and Sistas of TODAY who are Black Everyday. Not just in February. We have members of The Black Family who are making history as you read this post. And it would be wise to become just as familiar with them and there work as you become familiar with those of antiquity and there works.

We're in the Third Thirty day cycle of Obarima. Which brings us understanding of the third principal value 'ARMS~ Arm yourself to defend the Order and Balance with your life.

"You Have Inherited a War - You were born into a war zone" ~ ODWIRAFO KWESI


So what we are going to discuss to is Sovereignty & Power. For the underbelly of every war, both were either won or in jeopardy. And to discuss this topic, I'm going to present, in respect to masterful scholarship, some  noteworthy information from a presentation by Bro. Reggie and his presentation "The Blueprint for Black Sovereignty." Even though I will do so within The Black Bar X HighLife fashion, please note that the following up until the end of quotation notes, has been taken directly from Bro. Reggie's presentation to deliver or better yet, reintroduce a clear understand in respect to what I believe to be a great display of scholarship.  And we're going to get right into it with The Game. 




"There are three ways to get power for Black People in the United States"

1. Domestic Dependent Sovereignty - This is the Sovereignty that the Native American has issued by the Marshall Trilogy of cases.

2. Sovereignty arising from the City - This type of Sovereignty, I will explain and is the path to the Sovereignty for the Black Man of America.

3. Force

"The Key to the Protection, Sovereignty and Pursuit of Happiness for the Black Family in the United States is in the Structure called City, not the State, not the Federal but the City.

Europeans hide concepts in Plain Sight and teach around it so that you will not be able to understand your rights and provide the perfect cases to challenge their law. The concept of Citizenship and Rights comes the City not the State. However it was the Black Man of the Nile who taught Greeks the concept of the City and Rights."

"Solon, who would be the Athenian Legislator studied in Kmt, Sais in 590 B.C. He becomes one of the Seven Sages of Greece which he and several of the sages had contact with the Mystery System of Kmt - See Stolen Legacy

He is known as a reformer. The Reforms of Solon. In desperation, the Athenians in 594 B.c. gave Solon special authority to revise their laws to deal with the economic crisis and its dire social consequences that had brought their society to the brink of internecine war. As he explains in his autobiographical poetry, Solon tried to steer a middle course between the demands of the rich to preserve their financial advantages and call of the poor for a redistribution of land to themselves from the holding of the large landowners. His famous "shaking off obligations" somehow freed those farms whose ownership had become formally encumbered without, however, actually redistributing any land.

Though Citizenship, Rights and Sovereignty is accredited to the Ancient Greeks - it did not begin there"

"Blacks People in the U.S. have been manipulated and distracted into chasing State and Federal Laws and Government but it is actually the City that control us and we have not put energy into controlling it. The key to becoming Sovereign is in Cities that Serve Black People.

We must Migrate as our Ancestors did to a City of our Choice and completely control it by Votes. Yes, some of your believe in Anarchy but after Anarchy, you will still have to go back to the Citizenship model or you will create a Barbarian Model of Government or Religious Model of Government and even Religious Models follow the guidelines of the City - although manipulated by a Religious Hierarchy instead of an elected structure.

Black People created Civilization out of Barbarism, out of Feudalism - Force is used to overthrow or defend but it is not a Model of Government!!!

To futher illustrate this: When a Black Person gets Shot by a White Cop Unlawfully - it happens in a City. It is the City Laws that hires that cop. It its the City Laws that protects that Cop. It is the City that prevents you from getting Justice. It is the City that Taxes you, throws road blocks into your Self Employment, controls the rent, controls the ticketing, controls housing, food distribution, building codes. It is the City that is Disenfranchising you as an instrument of the State and Federal Government. Yet the City can be made serve the Black Man in America.

Key to Citizenship is the Hidden Word City. We have no Citizenship because we do not control our Cities!!"

"If you are short for time - and or you believe that Religion or your so called Spirituality or your Debate with the Nile Valley Africans or vice versa is more important than Sovereignty then I understand. For everyone else, I will break this down for you"

Many of you would ask what about Reparation?

I will say that Reparations only works in the context of Sovereignty and the Same groups that are conspiring against you have not even told you that the Reparations Cases was LOST!!

Read
http://jurist.org/paperchase/2006/12/federal-appeals-court-rejects-slavery.php.

Again, Your Black Leadership has lied to You and have not posted this in Ebony, Jet, Black Enterprises or even in the Black Newspapers. (But It Is Posted in The Black Bar)

Why do they want to Keep the Lie going? Obviously to Keep You Distracted in something you cannot Win. Reparations can however be Given by Cities!!

To understand what i am going to speak about you must Understand Sovereignty and Sovereignty and the Associated Rights must be connected as a Commandment.

This is True because in your Holy Books - All Of Them - God Gave You - Man and Women Sovereignty.

I can of course go to the Nile Valley and bring up the Fight between Horus and Set - It was over Sovereignty.

Ideas of Sovereignty are the energy that creates the energy towards Power. Power as presented by Dr. Wade Noble is the ability to define your reality and have others respond to that reality as if it was their own.

Power forms this Way: Man and his ideas - Local Followers of Ideas become Greater Follwers. Power it then expressed in Group Conviction, force of ideas, defese, weapons, warefeare to gain control over land and Group Will.

Power then creates and manipulated Laws, Economics, Politics, Culture, Rights, education, industry, Science and Technology and pursuit of Happiness and this is the building block of Nation Building. However, these ideas crystallize itself in the City.

The Formation of Laws in the United States and most other nations work this way. It is the ideas of Sovereignty infused in the Individual and spread to the Colony/City (Local Government), State, and Federal Laws

"Laws are the enforcement of power and are systematized through Laws and Legislation (Elected Officials passing laws), or Court Opinion...." ~ Brother Reggie Seba



So what does all this mean. It means MIND YOUR BUSINESS. Before you can formulate an opinion about whats going on in the next World, Country, State, CITY, Business, House, Family, make sure you have full knowledge about YOUR BUSINESS and its Next of Kin.  With elections coming up.  It would be wise not to worry yourself with the Presidential race, and run yourself down to City Hall and find out what they plan on feed your children in school. What industries are about to be obsolete in your city. Ect. Because City affair effect you immediately while it takes Fours years for Presidential affairs to take hold. 

2015 and Beyond... My Your Business.. Sharpen Up.. Practice Black Excellence and Eat Whole Foods no cut... Arm yourself with heavy artillery of both physical and mental proportions. And prepare for "The Take Over the Breaks Ova... "

The Fear of Letting Go

"From Normal to Natural"

I know my views are radical but it’s necessary. Every day I witness my people dying and sadly our oppressor has to put in little to no effort due to us killing ourselves. Since Ferguson and Trayvon Martin the news of black lives has become the popular subject, my ears are continually ringing with the public outcry of #blacklivesmatter. I couldn't agree more. 

Ironically my views have nothing to do with the racist police. There is no need to waste my breath begging for my oppressors acceptance. Instead I'm crying to my people that #blacklivesmatter. I'm preoccupied with trying to get my brothers and sisters  to wake up and take back their titles as Gods and

Goddess. Stop begging to be seen as just a ”man”. You are more than that. You are the beginning and the end of all humanity. And you deserve to treat yourself as such. To my Goddesses stop comparing your beauty to European standards such as Kim Kardashian. Your lips, curves, and skin tone is

 

what women like her pay thousands of dollars for. If she could choose her race we already know what her choice is. Just look at her dick preference. 


So many of our girls look up to Mrs. West as a role model. This is one of the many reasons our families are broken. Our wombmyn do not see the value in themselves or their men, as well as our men don’t see value in themselves or their wombmyn, and in return the "adults" point the finger to the youth that WE created. Something is off balance. 


Our families are suffering from this pathological cycle of devaluing ourselves. We have fallen from Gods to man and blatantly ignoring our indigenous soul. Every day we turn our backs to Mother Africa and our ancestors that died for us. We've been taken from our motherland then whitewashed into thinking that

“Our families are suffering. We have fallen

from Gods to man and blatantly ignore our indigenous soul.” 

modern/western science, technology, religion, and cuisines are superior. That Africa is primitive, bare, dangerous, and disease ridden. Consciously and subconsciously trusting our enemy's way of thinking. Fearing the knowledge and power of Ancient African indigenous systems.


Why has it become such a struggle to let go of our MENtality and tap into our godlike essence. The enemy has literally put the fear of god inside of us and we accept it to be normal. We allow them to control the seven holes in our heads. These are the seven holes that affect are perspectives and reality's of this physical plain.


 Our two eyes control what we see, our ears control what we hear, nose controls what we smell, and our mouth controls what we eat. If we inject poisons into these seven holes it not only controls our perspectives to how we see each other and ourselves but also how well our body, mind and soul functions or dare I say evolve. I am excited to be a part of The Black Bar and share my personal techniques, testimonials, and rants on self actualization and preservation. I hope to grow with you in our journey of evolution.

SUPREME BALANCE

Peace Family,

  I'm Honored to be apart of this site and more importantly this way of Life. Bringing the Truth back to the people. Don't entertain the foolishness they feed us through movies and television shows. The only real "Soul Food" is Organic Truth. 
    
   One aspect of that Truth is that Balance is essential for forward progress. Not just physically, but spiritually. It is the walking of that "Middle Passage" that most speak of and seek, but barely understand. One of the first things you must understand is that where there is no Order, there is no Balance. Order must be established within the mind of the Afurakani/Afurakaitnut Obarima and Obaa through control of Visual and Verbal thought, that directly effect our habitual nature. We must also learn to treat our vehicles(bodies) with proper respect. Fuel it properly with natural and whole foods, exercise regularly, and stop bombarding it with emotional irrationality that does nothing but break it down internally. It is up to us to restore the Balance within ourselves, our communities and in our relationships. There is no Success or Progress where disorder and chaos is allowed to reside. 

    Learn to Master your Mind, and Discipline your Body. Both planes are interdependent with each other. True Power lies within balancing the seen and unseen. Half Power is no Power.
Peace

  - Nekhu Maati (Ninth Power)

The Makings of a Man


February in Obarima takes us at The Black Bar to the principle of BALANCE.  

 "Establish that Balance in every aspect of your existence" 

"An Afurakani obarima recognizes that he does not exist as an individual separate from other created entities"

Spread the Wealth... As Men!!! There is a mental rift within the human family. That rift begins at boys and ends at Men. It is our Job  to lead our comunities and respected families as MEN. It is our fraternal duties as Men to insure the well being of our children and women. Physically, Mentally, Financially, Educationally, Spiritually, and Emotionally. It's is of our fraternal duties raise our children as boys and girls into Men and Women. It is of our fraternal duties to insure that our respected Women feel comfortable as Women. And that they feel empowered and free to express their creativity and passion to the hight of their abilities. It's your job to insure that the woman you are building with is in fact a Woman in ever compacity of the word. But where does that start?

It starts at being a Man. You see The Black Bar deals with Manhood in particular but not exclusively. The Black Bar deals with Man in particular because it is "Man"perscribed with the task of building a house, a family, a culture, a NATION, but it is not for hisself that he builds these things. It's is for his respected complimentary opposite(Woman) and his offsprings(Children). 

So why is being a Man first, so important? Anyone can build a house, start a family(lay and make children), claim a culture, declare a nationality or run a nation? Right? For history has shown Kings pass to leave the throne to their 8 year old son to rule a nation. But it is about Respect! Men respect Men not Boys. 

Again I point you to The Black Bar's logo. It would be beneficial to note that there is much to the science of an image. Within the black bar's logo, you have a black rectangle or bar surrounded by a white square. This is not by accident. This signifies that we understand that even though The Black Bar is geared towards Afurakani or Black Excellence in particular, the game is not predicate to Afurakani or Blacks exclusively. We are prived to and effected by the existence, decisions, and culture of other diasporas led by Men. 

Amongst us(society) is a subculture of Boy/Girl spirit that's being celebrated. These bright colors and cartoonish narratives and personas. This New Cool. While there's remotely wrong with these attributes. The Fact remains that these attributes does not garner respect. The spirit of the gathering and showcasing of materials. The Mansions, the mansion parties, the cars, clothing, and jewelry. It's ok to have and strive to have such things. Only in respect that we are also building those traits that truly garner respect. Things that are truly the essence of success and prosperity. Things that truly raise not only your personal social status, but also evolves the wealth of your culture as a whole. Attributes such as writing skills, linguistics, the nature of children’s numerical, arithmetical, and mathematical understanding, our scientific understanding of health and dietary aid, the social empathy of our community, the financial intelligence of our community, ect. These are the attributes, conversations, and responsiblities of Men and Women. Not the worries of Boys and Girls. 

I can't take a man serious who only can engage in conversation about sports and entertainment. Who can diligently argue the date of the latest sneaker drop. But in reference to the current state of his community he rangs quite. In reference to the education of his children he's mute. In reference to the emotional condition of his woman he's clueless or indifferent. Now me of all people is not one to suggest that personal apprence is not important and should be held to a standard. But again, this thing is about Balance...

So Who's ready to get into some GrownMan Shit? February in America is prescribed to us to be Black History Month. Well we at The Black Bar are dedicating February to Black Men who have put that work in in antiquity and also Black Women in respect to the months overall divine principle being Balance. This month at The Black Bar will bring you personal narritives, interviews, autobiographies, must read books, and more in respect to Black Excellence... So Stay Tuned and Stay Sharp
