42 Principles of Maat 2000 years before Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments, eight of them at least, were taken from the Egyptian Principles of Ma’at written at least 2000 years earlier.Written at least 2,000 years before the Ten Commandments of Moses, the 42 Principles of Ma’at are one of Africa’s, and the world’s, oldest sources of moral and spiritual instruction. Ma’at, the Ancient Egyptian divine Principle of Truth, Justice, and Righteousness, is the foundation of natural and social order and unity. Ancient Africans developed a humane system of thought and conduct which has been recorded in volumes of African wisdom literature, such as, these declarations from the Book of Coming Forth By Day (the so-called Book of the Dead), The Teachings of Ptah-Hotep, the writings of Ani, Amenemope, Merikare, and others.
…
One aspect of ancient Egyptian funerary literature which often is mistaken for a codified ethic of Ma’at is Chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead, often called the 42 Declarations of Purity or the Negative Confession. These declarations varied somewhat from tomb to tomb, and so can not be considered a canonical definition of Ma’at. Rather, they appear to express each tomb owner’s individual conception of Ma’at, as well as working as a magical absolution (misdeeds or mistakes made by the tomb owner in life could be declared as not having been done, and through the power of the written word, wipe that particular misdeed from the afterlife record of the deceased).
Many of the lines are similar, however, and they can help to give the student a “flavor” for the sorts of things which Ma’at governed—essentially everything from the most formal to the most mundane aspect of life.
Many versions are given on-line, unfortunately seldom do they note the tomb from which they came or, whether they are a collection from various different tombs. –
Here is one collection to give you the general idea:
All they did was add thou shall not and switched them around: I have not done iniquity.
I have not robbed with violence.
I have not stolen.
I have not made any to suffer pain.
I have not defrauded offerings.
I have done no murder nor bid anyone to slay on my behalf.
I have not trimmed the measure.
I have not spoken lies I have not robbed God.
I have not caused the shedding of tears.
I have not dealt deceitfully.
I have not acted guilefully.
I have not laid waste to the land.
I have not set my lips against anyone.
I have not been angry or wrathful without a just cause.
I have not lusted nor defiled the wife of any man.
I have not polluted myself.
I have not caused terror.
I have not done that which is abominable.
I have not multiplied words exceedingly.
I have never uttered fiery words.
I have not judged hastily.
I have not transgressed nor have I vexed or angered God.
I have not stopped my ears against the words of Right and Truth .
I have not burned with rage.
I have not worked grief.
I have not acted with insolence.
I have not avenged myself.
I have not stirred up strife.
I have not been an eavesdropper.
I have not wronged the people
I have done no harm nor have I done evil
I have not worked treason.
I have never fouled the water.
I have not spoken scornfully.
I have never cursed God.
I have not behaved with arrogance.
I have not envied or craved for that which belongs to another.
I have not filched food from the mouth of the infant.
I have done no hurt unto man, nor wrought harm unto beasts.
I have never magnified my condition beyond what was fitting.

Who is the New Afrikan? l New Afrikan PP Zolo Agona Azania
by Zolo Agona Azania (published May 1988) copyright Zolo Agona Azania. Preface The true meaning and purpose of life is to struggle against that which is not good. Terrible damage is done in words and in deeds to a human being on the basis of race. But words live only by physical action. The slave masters knew this very well when they began labeling Afrikan slaves with the most negative degrading words. When the Afrikan slaves accepted those negative degrading words as their own they began to think and act negative, which made matters worse. The psychological (mental) enslavement of people with deceptive words and false labels is an old game of the world. This is the point of the preface. If We are ever to be free again We must struggle against this old game, by any means necessary, and win. A people ignorant of self, or miseducated with false knowledge about self does not see the significance, nor understand the importance of this struggle, and the righteousness of striving in the cause for nothing less than self-determination. It is incumbent (resting) upon the New Afrikan intellectuals to re-write comprehensive dictionaries and encyclopedias that adequately re-define the words and terminologies describing Our own race and culture in all spheres of life. These books are to be used constructively at home, in Our liberation schools, and everywhere there are people. The re-education (and re-training) of Our beloved people will bring us into unity. This little pamphlet was written by the author as an effort to make a humble contribution to this worthy cause.
Who is the New Afrikan? The New Afrikan is a Black person whose ancestors were kidnapped from many different Afrikan tribes (mainly from West and South coast of Afrika) and brought to Amerikkka in the holds of slave ships. They were stripped of name, languages, identity, religion, culture, country and family ties. For about the first 200 years after people of the Afrikan race were brought to Amerikkka as slaves and prisoners of war they continued to identify themselves as “Afrikan.” Then [New Afrikan] and Negro. These latter words were rejected for a while, but accepted in hostile reaction to, among other things, the option of some Afrikans living in quasi-free states going back to Afrika leaving loved ones behind in slavery. The organization which spearheaded this back to Afrika movement was called the “American Colonization Society.” But many influential anti-slavery abolitionists were in opposition to this particular movement. Quarles wrote: “The colonization scheme had a unifying effect on Negroes in the North, bringing them together in a common bond of opposition. Within a two-year span in the early 1830’s Negroes in twenty-two cities held formal resolutions might vary in form declare themselves the legitimate sons of America, leave their native desire to no with another group might report that they regarded the colonization society in the same light that lambs regarded wolves. But there was no mistaking their common attitude. Indeed, American Colonization Society led the delegates to a national Negro Philadelphia in 1835, resolution “to remove the title of Afrikan from their institutions.” But, one of the most damaging criminal offenses that destruction to contributed identity of the Afrikan was classifying Afrikan people according to the shade of their skin. How did that happen? Afrikan women and girls were raped by the Caucasian factors, millions of Afrikan people today have starkly different shades of skin complexion ranging from very dark to very light.
It is worthy to note however, that prior to the conquest of Afrikan land and the enslavement of its people, all Afrikans did not have one exact shade of skin complexion. Why? Those living along the North, Northeast, and Northwest coastal area of the Mediterranean and Red Seas had been in close contact with Asian, Arabs, and Caucasian tribes for thousands of years. Intermarriage with members of another group, family, tribe or nation, and miscegenation (interbreeding and marriage between white and relationships resulted in race mixing. The skin coloration of the children born of those relationships was an array of ochres to burnt sienas (light yellowish, ĵreddish brown, and shades in between). We also take into consideration the hot tropical climate which made some light-skinned Afrikans look like Caucasians or Arabs with a deep sun-tan. Afrikans living deeper in the interior (central Afrika), and those living along the West, South and Southeast coastal areas was a natural array of raw umbers to strong ebony (very dark brownish-[New Afrikan]) were less effected by race mixing. Be that as it may, each tribe or nation had their own individual characteristics and customs that identified ethnic group, tribe or nation from another, their blood, however, remained essentially pure and dominant during that epoch (a particular period, point, or time in history) than those in the North, Northeast and Northwest Afrika. people’s skin, contingent or dependent upon the region in which they lived and other circumstances involved, was an array or variety of shades prior to their arrival to what later became known as Amerikkka. In spite of those facts however, the variation of Afrikan complexion was not as widespread as it is currently (now).
The term New Afrikan is not a fly-by-night in thing or fad premised (introduction or proposition upon which an argument is based) upon regional and geographical consideration. Nor is it only a mere physical reality. It is a re-awakened people, a spiritual force, part of the human family creating within themselves a socio-national conscience of paramount importance to one’s dignity, integrity, strength, freedom, security and stability. In light of those sentiments We enter into further discussion: who is the New Afrikan? The Caucasian used deceitful words and scathing (harmful and abusive) labels designed to divide the unity of the Afrikan race according to the shade of their skin complexion. This was done by classifying the Afrikan as: “mulatto”, “quadroon”, “octoroon”, “sambo”, “coons”, “colored”, “nigger”, “negro”, “black”, and whatever else. Mulatto is a person having one Caucasian and one Afrikan parent. Quadroon is a person having one quarter (1/4) Afrikan blood and the rest Caucasian. Octoroon is one who has one eighth (1/8) Afrikan blood, the offspring of a Caucasian person and a quadroon. Sambo is a word used by the Caucasian to define Afrikan men as humble pets, apes, beasts, stupid, dumb creatures and rapists white women. Coon is a slang derogatory term short for “raccoon” used offensively against Afrikan people describing them as watermelon eating thieves. The watermelon is native to Afrika. Colored is a person having mixed Afrikan, Indian, and Caucasian blood, or a dark-skinned people of Afrikan descent. Nigger is Latin for blacken, darken, dirty, denigrate, disgraceful, belittle or defame. Negro is Spanish for [New Afrikan], dark, dirty, or someone that is no good.
Black is English for dirty, shameful, ugly, evil, sadness and everything negative. The aim of the Caucasian was not only to enslave Afrikan people physically, but, also to enslave them psychologically. The Afrikan was forced by violence to denounce their heritage. Afrikan babies were brainwashed from the cradle to believe they were members of the so-called colored, nigger, or negro race. They grew up not knowing their true ethnic identity, or nationality. Even had this not been so, the fact that We were kidnapped and dispersed throughout various parts of the Earth, enslaved and colonized held in isolation cut off from Our ancestral homeland and subjected to the most barbaric treatment imaginable, contributed to the dissolution of Our direct relationship with Afrikan culture. This also led to the destruction of the normal Afrikan mind-set (mentality). It’s very important for one to be conscious of one’s own ethnic identity [which] indicates belonging to a particular nation by origin or birth. For example, some light-skinned Afrikan slaves were so mentally confused that if one had asked what was their ethnic identity the reply would often be, “mulatto”, “quadroon”, “octoroon”, “colored”, or something of the sort. Light or high yellow complexion was considered a status symbol. Dr. Kenneth M. Stampp wrote: “But the most piteous device for seeking status in the slave community was that of boasting about in pride taking or ancestors white complexion.”
After a period of time went by they accepted the label “Negro,” and would feel angry, hurt or both if one would call him or her Black. They hated the descriptive word Black being attached to them because they hated their own self. Many mistakenly thought being associated with Black was shameful and ugly. arrived of time period Another consciousness of Afrikan people increased again. They gradually returned to identifying themselves as BLACK people. One by one they threw off the deceitful words and false, abusive labels put on them by the Caucasian. identify themselves to continued Afrikans nigger and negro because they had been brainwashed to believe that lie all their life; and were fixed in their old ways and conceptions. Others simply refused to change the negative way they thought about self in fear for their People go through psychological crisis when sudden changes occur in their lives. Like being shocked or awakened from a deep sleep all of a sudden. That is what happened to those Afrikans whom suddenly became conscious of their true identity (nationality). The sudden impact of reality left them mentally confused and disoriented. For this reason many had resisted change, no matter how positive it was and is. Deceitful words and false, abusive labels used for over 400 years to describe members of the Afrikan race are no longer accepted. The term “negro” has fallen into being accept gleefully now Afrikans disuse. BLACK. It added positive meaning to their lives. instance, the Afrikan definition of Black is not the same as the Caucasians definition. Indicative of this is the expression: BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL. One drop of Afrikan blood in their body is enough to make them Black. it doesn’t make any difference what shade of color their skin is. The word Black, as used in this context, is a state of mind (Black-consciousness).
The word “Afrikan” had also been shameful backwards, with synonymously unintelligent. This word or term infuriated those Afrikans who hated self more than any other because, considered it a vicious insult to remind them of their true identity. But now they’re happy to be called “Afrikan”, “Afrikan-American,” or “Afro-American.” That is the NEW AFRIKAN mind-set (mentality). On the other hand however, there were many beloved New Afrikan sisters and brothers like Sojourner Truth, Denmark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser, David Walker, Turner, Dr. Martin R. Delaney, Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Marcus M. Garvey, Paul Robeson, Elijah Muhammad, Harry Haywood, Ella Jo “Fundi” Baker, El- Shakur, Malik Zayd El-Shabazz, Malik Jackson, Kuwasi Balagoon, Mtayari Shabaka Sundiata, Bobby Hutton, and Jonathan Jackson, only to name a few, who always acknowledged their Afrikan heritage, even under pain of death. The rise in the level of New Afrikan consciousness is the flowering of the human mind. It took a long time before the term “New Afrikan” gained wide acceptance by the masses of Our people. Indicative of this is the desire and progressive action of the descendants of the Afrikan slaves to define the words or terms to identify and describe Our own race. It was a continuous process of spirited struggle, of defiance, and of self-sacrifice to re-claim Our humanity; to re-define Our own identity; to re-shape Our own destiny (self-determination). The New Afrikan represents unity of mind and body of the highest order. Yet on this point there need not be any doubt who is the New Afrikan. Our history brings Us together. The bottom line is that, in slavery We came to Amerikkka from many different Afrikan sometimes called tribes. Here We became one people, a New Afrikan people, and a New Afrikan Nation.

Towards A New Amerikan Revolution - Jalil Muntaqim
In 1776, North American’s became independent of the British Empire, creating the United States confederation that existed until 1789, after which the United States evolve into a Union. In 1865, the United States enacted the 13th Amendment to end chattel slavery of Afrikans. Approximately three years later, the enactment of the 14th Amendment in 1868, was not only to impose citizenship on Afrikans brought to this country against their will and used as chattel slaves, but also to impose Federal corporate control on sovereign states not made part of the Union as result of the civil war. Naturally, the ending of the civil war and Afrikan chattel slavery resulted in the need to rebuild the economy, thus in 1871 members of the U.S. Congress and the then President of the United States formally incorporated the United States as a for-profit commerce enterprise.
The Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, Section 34 of the Forty-First Congress of the United States, Session III, Chapter 61 and 62, enacted on February 21, 1871, states: The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a corporation, whose jurisdiction is applicable only in the ten-mile-square parcel of land known as the District of Columbia and to what ever properties are legally titled to the UNITED STATES, by its registration in the corporate County, State, and federal governments that are under military power of the UNITED STATES and its creditors.” 1 (Emphasis added) 1 Since April 15, 1861, every succeeding so-called President has issued an Executive Order proclaiming a national emergency virtually extending federal military powers and control of the United States, Inc. The introduction to Senate Report 93-549 (93rd Congress, 1st Session, 1973), states in part: “A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule… And, in the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crisis have - from, at least, the Civil War - in important ways, shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency.” See, also, November 14, 1994, Executive Order No. 12938, by then so-called President William Jefferson Clinton, where he states: “…Therefore, in accordance with Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing the national emergency declared in Executive Order No. 12938.” The United States, Inc., comprises a 10-mile radius of Washington, D.C., in accordance with Article 1, Section 8, clause 16 & 17 of the U.S. Constitution, and the corporation adopted the U.S. Constitution as its Articles of Incorporation and bylaws. Hence, as early as six years after the ending of chattel slavery, in 1871, the U.S. Corporation formally began the process of forging economic corporate interest as the foundation for building the nation. It is extremely important to know these historical facts are not taught in schools.
The majority of Americans are unaware that the United States is a for-profit corporate commerce enterprise, and this corporation considers Americans as commerce property of a Federal corporation according to the 14th Amendment of its constitution and bylaws. As such, Americans have relinquish their sovereignty as human beings, and have virtually made a contract with a corporate-governing body to expend their rights and lives as they deem necessary to fulfill the corporate interest of the United States, Inc., as wage slaves.2 Often there are debates about the importance of the Madison and Jefferson papers being the principle architects of both the Declaration of Independence and the Article of Confederation evolving into the Constitution of the U.S. Corporation. However, what is often neglected in any discussion about these Federalist is their disdain for private banking, the control of the United States, Inc. wealth by a private corporate interest. In fact, in 1802, Thomas Jefferson warned: “If American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks… will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people. To whom it properly belongs.” James Madison had warned: “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.” In 1881, then, President James A. Garfield held: “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” In his Inaugural Address, Garfield stated: “The chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make any form of paper money legal tender.
The present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the promise should be kept. Yet, the United States, Inc., as a capitalist system utilizes the financial institutions and private banking of the Federal Reserve System,3 which is obligated to fulfill its mandate as established by the March 9, 1933, U.S. Senate, House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192, 73rd Congress, 1st Session, Chapter 1, page 83, 1st paragraph, third sentence states: “Under the new law the money is issued to the banks in return for Government obligations, bills of exchange, drafts, notes, trade acceptances, and banker’s acceptances. The money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar, because it is backed by the credit of the nation. It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the nation. The money so issued will not d) On June 5, 1933, this same Congress at Chapter 48, stated: “The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual socalled “ownership” is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere “user” and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State.”
This language for all practical purposes implies a socialist notion of government control of property in negation of the espoused democratic ideal about private ownership of property rights. However, as one example, eminent domain, virtually denies the existence of ownership of private property when a member of the plutocracy, and/or corporate entity via the application of state or federal law, decides to take possession of specific property/real estate despite the 5th Amendment proclaiming this should not be done without just compensation. As further verified by the following quote from the “Civil Servants Year Book, The Organizer” of January 1934, informing: Capital must protect itself in every way, through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law, applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. By dividing the people, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.
Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully accomplished.” Subject to the above, the U.S., is a for-profit corporate enterprise, utilizing a private banking system, the Federal Reserve Bank, to control the wealth and property of the nation, it is not difficult to understand how the housing market is utilized to upend the economy and how easily corporations are able to outsource jobs overseas (NAFTA CAFTA, GATT, APEC, etc). Although U.S. currency is printed by the Treasury Department, the currency is purchased at cost of printing, procured and distributed by the Federal Reserve Bank.4 Thus, Americans do not own real estate property, houses or cars for as long as they have to pay taxes to the government, rather they are leasing such tangible items from the government, the bankers and corporate interests. If an American is delinquent on their payments of taxes, fees, corporate interests, etc., the government will seize their property(s) and assets, impose a fine and possibly incarcerate them depending on the amount of property and taxes that is unpaid. U.S. citizens by virtue of the 14th Amendment, are considered no more than commerce property, of whom are not to own tangible property, but are duped in the illusion of being able to do so, resulting in permitting the extremely rich and powerful to maintain their quest for capitalistimperialist global hegemony. For example, on February 17, 1950, Senate hearings held concerning the U.N. and its organization, James P. Warburg testified that: “We shall have world government, whether or not we like The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or conquest.
Since the illusion of democracy disguises the reality of a plutocracy, the rich continues to control the seats of government, and write the legislations that preserves their wealth at the expense of common folks.6 Americans are deluded in their belief of living in a democracy is exacerbated by the ideal of one man-one vote electoral process. However, again, this ideal was blatantly exposed as fraudulent when the 2000 presidential election was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court selection of George W. Bush as president in negation of the popular vote. When consideration is given to the fact the total cost of the 2004 congressional and presidential election was $4 billion, an increase
of one billion from the 2000 election, and it is projected the 2008 candidates for the House, Senate and president will double spending to $8 billion dollars to win their elections, affirms the reality that the rich rules.7 In “Towards an American Revolution: Exposing the Constitution and Other Illusions,” Jerry Fresia informs, “Never has a U.S. president been elected by a majority of the nation’s adult citizens.” Given that fact, neither the capitalist economic system or electoral politics benefits the majority of Americans, but rather serves the interest of corporate entities that according to law are persons, as Americans are considered commerce property, there is no wonder there is a need for a new American revolution.
The Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, Section 34 of the Forty-First Congress of the United States, Session III, Chapter 61 and 62, enacted on February 21, 1871, states: The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a corporation, whose jurisdiction is applicable only in the ten-mile-square parcel of land known as the District of Columbia and to what ever properties are legally titled to the UNITED STATES, by its registration in the corporate County, State, and federal governments that are under military power of the UNITED STATES and its creditors.” 1 (Emphasis added) 1 Since April 15, 1861, every succeeding so-called President has issued an Executive Order proclaiming a national emergency virtually extending federal military powers and control of the United States, Inc. The introduction to Senate Report 93-549 (93rd Congress, 1st Session, 1973), states in part: “A majority of the people of the United States have lived all of their lives under emergency rule… And, in the United States, actions taken by the Government in times of great crisis have - from, at least, the Civil War - in important ways, shaped the present phenomenon of a permanent state of national emergency.” See, also, November 14, 1994, Executive Order No. 12938, by then so-called President William Jefferson Clinton, where he states: “…Therefore, in accordance with Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing the national emergency declared in Executive Order No. 12938.” The United States, Inc., comprises a 10-mile radius of Washington, D.C., in accordance with Article 1, Section 8, clause 16 & 17 of the U.S. Constitution, and the corporation adopted the U.S. Constitution as its Articles of Incorporation and bylaws. Hence, as early as six years after the ending of chattel slavery, in 1871, the U.S. Corporation formally began the process of forging economic corporate interest as the foundation for building the nation. It is extremely important to know these historical facts are not taught in schools.
The majority of Americans are unaware that the United States is a for-profit corporate commerce enterprise, and this corporation considers Americans as commerce property of a Federal corporation according to the 14th Amendment of its constitution and bylaws. As such, Americans have relinquish their sovereignty as human beings, and have virtually made a contract with a corporate-governing body to expend their rights and lives as they deem necessary to fulfill the corporate interest of the United States, Inc., as wage slaves.2 Often there are debates about the importance of the Madison and Jefferson papers being the principle architects of both the Declaration of Independence and the Article of Confederation evolving into the Constitution of the U.S. Corporation. However, what is often neglected in any discussion about these Federalist is their disdain for private banking, the control of the United States, Inc. wealth by a private corporate interest. In fact, in 1802, Thomas Jefferson warned: “If American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks… will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered… The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people. To whom it properly belongs.” James Madison had warned: “History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.” In 1881, then, President James A. Garfield held: “Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.” In his Inaugural Address, Garfield stated: “The chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make any form of paper money legal tender.
The present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the promise should be kept. Yet, the United States, Inc., as a capitalist system utilizes the financial institutions and private banking of the Federal Reserve System,3 which is obligated to fulfill its mandate as established by the March 9, 1933, U.S. Senate, House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192, 73rd Congress, 1st Session, Chapter 1, page 83, 1st paragraph, third sentence states: “Under the new law the money is issued to the banks in return for Government obligations, bills of exchange, drafts, notes, trade acceptances, and banker’s acceptances. The money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar, because it is backed by the credit of the nation. It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the nation. The money so issued will not d) On June 5, 1933, this same Congress at Chapter 48, stated: “The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual socalled “ownership” is only by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere “user” and use must be in acceptance with law and subordinate to the necessities of the State.”
This language for all practical purposes implies a socialist notion of government control of property in negation of the espoused democratic ideal about private ownership of property rights. However, as one example, eminent domain, virtually denies the existence of ownership of private property when a member of the plutocracy, and/or corporate entity via the application of state or federal law, decides to take possession of specific property/real estate despite the 5th Amendment proclaiming this should not be done without just compensation. As further verified by the following quote from the “Civil Servants Year Book, The Organizer” of January 1934, informing: Capital must protect itself in every way, through combination and through legislation. Debts must be collected and loans and mortgages foreclosed as soon as possible. When through a process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tractable and more easily governed by the strong arm of the law, applied by the central power of wealth, under control of leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders. This is well known among our principal men now engaged in forming an imperialism of capital to govern the world. By dividing the people, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us except as teachers of the common herd.
Thus by discreet action we can secure for ourselves what has been generally planned and successfully accomplished.” Subject to the above, the U.S., is a for-profit corporate enterprise, utilizing a private banking system, the Federal Reserve Bank, to control the wealth and property of the nation, it is not difficult to understand how the housing market is utilized to upend the economy and how easily corporations are able to outsource jobs overseas (NAFTA CAFTA, GATT, APEC, etc). Although U.S. currency is printed by the Treasury Department, the currency is purchased at cost of printing, procured and distributed by the Federal Reserve Bank.4 Thus, Americans do not own real estate property, houses or cars for as long as they have to pay taxes to the government, rather they are leasing such tangible items from the government, the bankers and corporate interests. If an American is delinquent on their payments of taxes, fees, corporate interests, etc., the government will seize their property(s) and assets, impose a fine and possibly incarcerate them depending on the amount of property and taxes that is unpaid. U.S. citizens by virtue of the 14th Amendment, are considered no more than commerce property, of whom are not to own tangible property, but are duped in the illusion of being able to do so, resulting in permitting the extremely rich and powerful to maintain their quest for capitalistimperialist global hegemony. For example, on February 17, 1950, Senate hearings held concerning the U.N. and its organization, James P. Warburg testified that: “We shall have world government, whether or not we like The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or conquest.
Since the illusion of democracy disguises the reality of a plutocracy, the rich continues to control the seats of government, and write the legislations that preserves their wealth at the expense of common folks.6 Americans are deluded in their belief of living in a democracy is exacerbated by the ideal of one man-one vote electoral process.

The FBI's Murderous Targeting of the Shakurs - John Potash
On May 2, the FBI held a press conference announcing that they were putting the first woman on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List: Joanne Chesimard, better known as Assata Shakur. Few knew that the rap icon Tupac Shakur maintained a similar social justice agenda as his godmother Assata. Evidence supports that U.S. intelligence targeted Tupac Shakur using many similar tactics that they used against Assata, Tupac’s Panther leader mother Afeni, and Tupac’s extended family of Black Liberation leaders.
The Shakur family was involved in many black leftist movements. Abbah Shakur worked with Marcus Garvey’s UNIA and was a close associate of Malcolm X. Abbah’s son Lumumba Shakur started the Harlem Black Panthers. Lumumba’s brother, Zayd, was a Minister of Information for the Bronx Black Panthers, before he was chased underground and co-founded the Black Liberation Army. Lumumba’s wife, Tupac’s mother Afeni, helped lead the Harlem Black Panthers.
The undercover intelligence agent who first arrived at Malcolm X’s body, Gene Roberts, infiltrated and helped frame the New York Panthers as part of the FBI’s Counter-intelligence Program (COINTELPRO) against leftists activists. The New York Panthers, dubbed The New York 21, were jailed for two years before they were acquitted in 1971. (Lumumba divorced Afeni when she got pregnant with Tupac while out on bail.)
The FBI had stepped up its COINTELPRO tactics around the time of the New York 21 trial. One of their tactics involved what was dubbed an “East Coast versus West Coast Panther War.” The FBI created fake letters and sent them between Afeni’s New York Panthers and Huey Newton’s Oakland National Panther Office.
Bronx Black Panther Joanne Chesimard, in fear for her own life after having fellow activists framed and killed, followed her close friend Zayd underground. Out of respect for Zayd and the Shakur family, she changed her name to Assata Shakur while in hiding in 1971.
That same year, Afeni named her new son Tupac Amaru Shakur after the last Incan leader and raised him to be a “black prince of the revolution.” Afeni named her close comrade, Los Angeles Panther leader Geronimo Pratt (later changed to Ji Jaga), Tupac’s godfather, Assata was named Tupac’s godmother—Tupac grew up calling her Auntie Assata. By the mid-1970s, Afeni had moved in with Lumumba’s adopted brother Mutulu. Mutulu was assistant director of Lincoln Detox in the Bronx and a co-founding member of the national activist group, the Republic of New Afrika.
The FBI started a propaganda campaign against Assata Shakur, calling her “the revolutionary mother hen” of the Black Liberation Army. They accused the BLA of murdering a number of New York City police officers (most of these accusations came with little evidence and few valid convictions). The FBI conducted a nationwide manhunt for Assata in 1972. Posters with her face appeared in police precincts and banks that cited her involvement in serious criminal activities, putting her on the FBI’s most wanted list; and to all levels of police she became a shoot-to-kill target.
In May 1973, New Jersey police pulled over Zayd and Assata Shakur’s car. Police Police fatally shot Zayd, while wounding Assata and former Panther 21 member Sundiata Acoli. Shots from one of the three killed a police officer. Assata said that police proceeded to beat her at the scene and torture her in a hospital. She said that in the hospital, she was only saved from more torture when a nurse intervened. But, she said, prison officials used torturous tactics on her thereafter.
New Jersey police charged Assata with killing the police officer. The case didn’t reach trial for four years because prosecutors brought Assata to trial six times for alleged involvement in a half dozen other major criminal actions from 1971 to 1973. They failed to gain a conviction at any of those hearings.
By 1976, Assata’s trial lawyer, Stanley Cohen, reported several breakthroughs in her case. He was found dead from a physical attack soon after with all his papers stolen.
At the trial, William Kunstler, Lennox Hinds, her Aunt Evelyn Williams, and Assata’s other lawyers presented tests and medical experts to prove her innocence in court. For example, Assata’s fingers tested negative for gun residue. That test and doctors’ findings supported that police shot Assata while she was in a seated position with her hands raised. They said the bullet immediately severed a median nerve that wouldn’t have allowed Assata to pull a gun trigger. Nonetheless, prosecutors won a conviction against her for killing the police officer.
In 1979, Assata Shakur escaped from prison. Mutulu Shakur, Silvia Baraldini, former Panther Sekou Odinga and Weather Underground member Marilyn Buck were charged with helping Assata’s prison break. Mutulu was also charged with “conspiracy” involvement in a Brinks Bank robbery and went into hiding. Several days before Mutulu was captured in Louisiana in 1986, Lumumba was found dead nearby. Despite the judge finding the FBI using illegal COINTELPRO actions against Mutulu, he and Odinga are still serving as political prisoners
Early Police Attacks
While Tupac was still in his late teens, the New Afrikan Panthers elected him as their national chair, according to his business manager. By the age of 20, Tupac left his Panther leadership, realizing he could add money and influence to his activism as a rapper. Police attacks ensued. First, police choked Tupac unconscious and pounded his head against the curb several days after his MTV video debut in 1991.
Tupac’s manager, Tyehimba, confirmed that Tupac starting hiding his radical leftist politics behind a gangsta rap façade around this time in order to appeal to gangs and then politicize them. This was part of his Panther family’s work in extending peace truces between the Bloods and Crips that started in Los Angeles. Many of these gang members quit dealing drugs and got into community activism.
In 1993, police watched as gunmen shot at Tupac at a public event. Instead of arresting the shooters, they only arrested Tupac and his stepbrother, Mutulu’s son Mopreme. This occurred in the California Bay area where FBI chief Richard Held still presided and was caught covering-up Newton’s murder.
Attacks Increase
U.S. intelligence-linked attacks continued against Tupac Shakur with witnesses saying that allegedly off-duty Atlanta cops ran up to Tupac’s car, broke his window with a gun, and shot at him in 1993. While Tupac grabbed a guard’s gun, shot back and hit them, he wasn’t found guilty as it also came out in court that the cops used a gun stolen from an evidence locker. A police officer said this is commonly known as a throwaway gun that could easily be discarded for an illegal police murder.
A few weeks later in 1993, evidence supports that undercover agents set up a sexual abuse conviction that landed him in jail. Tupac’s New York trial lawyer for that case was Michael Tarif Warren, renowned for his work freeing the Central Park Five and as a European spokesperson for the Free Mumia campaign. Warren found strong evidence that Tupac’s codefendant, Haitian Jacques Agnant, was a police agent who had set up the situation as part of a frame-up.
Murderous attacks on Tupac Shakur continued in New York. Gunmen went into a Times Square recording studio lobby and put two bullets in Tupac’s skull that miraculously missed his brain. A studio guard tried to give police a security video of the gunmen but police refused it, calling it a random mugging and halted their investigation. Similar to the divisive tactics used on the Panthers, people tried to convince Tupac that his friend and fellow rap star, Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace, had a connection to his Times Square shooting. The media-dubbed this feud the East versus West rap war.
Death Row Cops Attack
U.S. Intelligence had a number of undercover agents working in the music industry. For example, a high-level white police detective, Russell Poole, found dozens and dozens of his fellow cops at all levels of Death Row Records. One of Poole’s superiors said these cops could be seen as “covert agents.”
Police reports found that Death Row was also involved in trafficking drugs and guns. Death Row’s Suge Knight and his moonlighting Los Angeles police employees further tried to end the Bloods versus Crips peace truce on which Tupac and his extended Panther family had worked. This was coordinated by Death Row’s head of security, “former” police officer Reggie Wright Jr. Wright’s father headed the Compton, California police department’s gang division. Compton was one of the first Los Angeles neighborhoods where the Bloods and Crips called peace truces and turned to activism.
While Tupac had been in prison, corrections officers used Penal Coercion techniques on him. This and Death Row manipulations led Tupac to produce his most negative lyrics. Ten days before Tupac was fatally shot, he finalized his leaving of Death Row by firing his lawyer, Death Row founding owner Dave Kenner. One of Tupac’s bodyguards was FBI agent Kevin Hackie. After Tupac’s death, Hackie said he had documents proving that other FBI agents were in cars following Tupac when gunmen murdered him in Las Vegas. Las Vegas Sun police reporter Cathy Scott also said that the FBI presence was widely known.
Besides evidence supporting that Los Angeles police officers working for Death Row aided in Tupac’s murder, these undercover police agents appeared to have the goal of ending the gang peace truce. They did this through starting conflicts among gang members in Death Row. Part of the evidence around the FBI’s targeting of Tupac Shakur was a Justice Department worker saying Tupac had over 4,000 pages in his FBI file. While only 99 pages were released, CIA documents, court documents, hundreds of personal interviews and thousands of articles and books show how U.S. intelligence targeted him.
The cover-up, through media censorship and many more killings, has appeared to go on even longer than his adult life. Since Tupac’s death, other linked murders included Tupac’s backup singer Yafeu Fula, the son of Bronx Black Panther cofounder Sekou Odinga, and Tupac’s business partner, Yasmynn Fula. Fula was the top witness to Tupac’s murder, saying he thought he could identify the shooter.
Another murder linked to Tupac’s was Tupac’s former rap star friend, Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace. Police Detective Russell Poole was assigned to Biggie’s murder investigation and said that he found his fellow police officers murdered Biggie to cover up their murder of Tupac. They hoped to make it look like part of the East/West rap war.
Along with other linked murders, Tupac’s bodyguard in the car behind Tupac’s, Frank Alexander, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head on April 28, 2013, four days before the FBI announced they were putting Assata Shakur on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist List. Alexander had co-produced the film, Tupac: Assassination, and a sequel released in 2009 that incriminated the Los Angeles Police officers working at Death Row. Police told the Huffington Post that the death is being investigated as a suicide, without giving an explanation of why they weren’t also investigating it as a possible homicide.

We our own liberators - Jalil Muntaqim
My machete is adorned, draped in red
and green, sharpened with the blood
of a patriot whose life beckons.
Viejo, I hear you from a distant land,
your words of liberation, freedom and
independence cut the wind of tyranny,
the howling ravishing wolves of the
U.S. neo-colonialism and exploitation.
The ancestors speak through you on this
137th anniversary of El Grito de Lares,
telling our youth NOW is the time to
restore and rebuild our nation.
Their echoes reverberate into chords of
African drums and coquitos "Libertad, Libertad,
Libertad, Libertad, Libertad"
We will not forgive or forget!
We will heed the call!
We will champion the Patriots!
We will free our nation.
For our machetes are adorned, draped in red
and green, sharpened with the blood of a
patriot whose life beckons.
“Scream Black:
Why must I scream to be heard?
Ellison claims I am an Invisible Man, not to be seen in
centers of power, allowing recognition of tokens as a
coin of exchange to represent my personal and political
selves. Wilderson claims I am Incognegro, to be seen
and not heard, towing the line of assimilation and
cultural annihilation even in my rebelliousness.
Ergo, my words must become bombs in a vest
strapped on my aged aching consciousness to blow
away the alleged eccentricity of my existence? The
blackness of my vocabulary must refuse to hide your
racism, an inconceivable miscarriage ill-form abortion
of humanity.
No longer capable or willing to whisper, rather charge
genocides from atop mounting graves of those who came
before me – Nat, Marcus, Muhammad, Malcolm, Medger
Martin and finally in full circle, Newton in self-defense.
Spewing molten volcanic ash of revolutionary ideas, casting
pregnant black clouds of notions, castigating institutionalized
white supremacy, bursting antacid rain and drenching my
descendants, inoculating them from your emasculating
dehumanization.
Why must I scream to be heard?
To call for Black men to stop gagging and choking on their
silence, to spit from the pit of their sour stomachs, to together
end the slow death of internecine urban fratricide and genocidal
incarceration screaming for liberation an reparations 
You need not atone, you need only to explode, reclaiming
your souls. Then, all else will come easy!
Remember: We Are Our Own Liberators!”
Jalil Muntaqim calls on the Black progressive forces in “A challenge to the Black Bourgeoisie” to take the lead in building national campaigns and mobilizations within a popular civil and human rights movement. “The struggle for the preservation and restoration of democratic and civil-rights must evolve towards a struggle for human rights, which in turn will take the class struggle for national unity toward the final and complete destruction of corporate-capitalist class exploitation and racist imperialist neo-colonial oppression.”
