ONE SIDED STORIES N' AMERIKKKA

                                                         (a.k.a. PROSPECTIVE)

 " If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not;

 how shall ye  believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"

ST. LOUIS, MO - 11/26/2020. THANKSGIVING DAY OR SUPER SPREADER EVENT?

At the writing of this blog The Covid-19 pandemic is raging out of control with no relief in sight and the death toll is reaching astronomical proportions world wide. 

Tt appears that the question has become not "will" you and I contract the virus, but rather "when"??? 

It seems to be inevitable that at some point it touches you or someone you love.  Speaking of love,  its being reported that individuals have a greater chance of acquiring the covid at a gathering or "super spreader event" with your family and friends. Something like a Thanksgiving Gettogether Feast or Christmas Holiday Party Ritual.......just so you know.

And for those of us that haven't been subjected to this poison we are still suffering from what has been labeled as "pandemic fatigue" according, to the World Health Organization, which estimates that half of the worlds population is effected with the  illness of massive fatigue. 

Quite frankly, the Covid-19 pandemic has worn us out, literally.

Some describe that the pandemic feels like it has added an additional 1000 pound weight to the cares of this life that had many of us already on the verge of homicide or suicide. 

 A plethora of individuals are reveling that just dealing with supervisors, co-workers, family, vendors, so-called friends, and suppliers was challenging before Covid-19, but now stress levels seem to have increased to the 10th power. 

We are so distressed and oppressed that a large majority of us are considering taking a covid-19 vaccine as soon as one is made available. 

Common sense should warn us that it makes no difference who is seated in the Oval Office and controls the message regarding the vaccine. The objective coming from the White House is the same and that is to market a vaccine as soon as possible because both political parties are controlled by the wealthiest and largest lobby in the country: the pharmaceutical industry.     

And what the pharmaceutical giants want...the pharmaceutical giants get. 

The legalization and non-criminalization of medicinal and recreational cannabis has created an upsurge in wide spread usage and consumption of the cannabis herb all across america.

 The president-elect and his vice ran on a promise to make cannabis legal throughout the country while at the same time endorsing a "hurry-up development" of a covid vaccination.

 Somebody is lying to the american people and here is why.

 Legal cannabis has put a substantial dent in the bottom line of the major pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and their distributors.  That's why at  this very moment Pfizer and other mega pharmaceutical conglomerates are plotting to make enormous profits by producing a vaccine, at the governments expense, for over seven billion five hundred million black, poor, and oppressed people.  A vaccination for a plague that we "#AreNotEvenSure" where it came from!!!

If the truth be told, the jury is still out, on whether or not this is some form of biological terrorism/warfare initiated by either a foreign or domestic enemy of america and america's allies. 

But, one thing is for sure. And that one thing is that people are dying. But everybody is  not dying. 

This thing seems to effect different people in different ways. For example: some people loose their taste and smell, some infected people don't. Some have severe headaches, some don't. They say you have to have a fever,  yet, many people that have tested positive don't. They claim that many people have a severe cough, yet, many people don't. Fatigue and loss of energy seems to be common symptom but for some older adults fatigue is common anyway.

Children of The Most High God we have to be conscience, cognizant, and wise enough to rely totally on the voice of the inner man/woman to order our steps and guide our minds through these difficult times. We also must have courage enough to refuse to participate in any trials and also refuse to be vaccinated by whatever covid drug is approved by the government.  Realizing that God and God alone is keeping us alive.

History has proven to us that the FDA has been bought by corporate money just like the rest of Washington D.C.,  therefore, we must be forever mindful of the games that have played at our expense. Games like the

Tuskegee Syphilis Study/ Experiment. And government programs like the King Alfred Plan, the federal government welfare program, and countless other programs and experiments supposedly aimed at helping AfricansNamerikkka but actually promoting genicide and terrorism against us. 

We must also be mindful that over 73 million people, business people, religious people, people holding white and blue collar positions, in all occupation's, and from all walks of life, voted for the POTUS to be the POTUS for four more years. 

That's beyond scary considering he re-instituted the open practice of, active racism, spiritual wickedness, and hatred and endorsed bigotry as fashionable and popular in amerikkka and made division his cultural base.  

Certainly, we have some difficult days ahead and we need to be conscience of the fact that our answers will not come from "powers without" they will come from" the power within".

As as I ponder the days and months to come I have to always resort to times and places in my life when it appeared that all hope was lost and I didn't know what to do. 

During those times my spirit has always reminded me of one of the many teachings of my father(TG4RG) who God sent to lead poor, oppressed, underprivileged and marginalized people for 30 years, beginning in 1931 until his death in 1961.

How ironic that because of Covid-19 we are currently witnessing poverty, devastation and starvation levels not seen in this country since The Great Depression Era (1929-1939).  But as always, in our most trying times, God sends a man, with a blue print to uplift fallen humanity and redirect us from a horizonal plane to a vertical plane of righteousness and oneness with God.  

Still, when we consider the Great Depression Era for a minute, the His-Story of this country conjures up visions of a country bombarded and, seemingly, possessed with plagues, diseases, dust storms, prohibitions, draughts, wars, poverty, famine, targeted drug addiction, and overt and covert racism.

It was a time when black people were being hung from lamp posts in downtown East St. Louis, IL, Tulsa, OK, and other major cities in amerikkka. Yet, in the midst of all forms of madness and disease, God instructed my father to teach his followers how to get in touch with and how to stay in touch with the indwelling Spirit of God, because they were in a spiritual battle, and spiritual weaponry was/is needed to defeat the spiritual enemy.  

Often, he would teach that "when u don't know what to do.....don't do nothing... just be still...humble yourself to Gods presence, stay in a repented(merciful) state of mind, and listen for the voice, and let the spirit of God guide you.....don't try to #MakeSomethingHappen.

So with that thought in mind I visited an area  today where I knew -- at one point in my life -- that I was surly not going to make it through.

Today, I just needed to be reminded with a visual of one of several times when I had concluded I just couldn't bare the situation I was in anymore, but the Creator of the World  said, "Yes you can".

.....give me a minute........

I returned to the USPS as a full-time City Letter Carrier at the age of fifty(50) years old. 

 God is funny. 

I had been separated from the postal service for some nineteen(19) years, partial because I had to fulfill a ten year(10) commitment with another government agency--- the Federal Bureau of Prisons. 😏

When I left the USPS I resigned my position as a Tractor-Trailer Operator(TTO/Motor Vehicle Operator/MVO). In fact,  I had been trained to operate any and all vehicles in the postal service fleet.

 But not this time. 

This time if I wanted this good paying job I would be required to deliver mail from a pouch/sack -- on my back.

At the age of fifty this might not sound like the prudent thing to do but, "what the heck, right, how hard can walking all day be? Its good exercise, right?" 

To successfully carry mail, on your back, walking all day, between 6 and 10 miles a day, with NO access to a mail truck, at the age of fifty or any other age for that matter has a lot to do with terrain, landscape, asphalt, turf,  elevation, weather, volume, and perspective.

Bare with me, I'm getting there......💨

Many of you, I'm sure, have never paid much attention to the green colored mail boxes or "relay boxes" in your neighborhoods are communities. The green boxes are not for depositing mail, they are used to hold mail for a mail carrier to deliver on his route.

Hopefully/probably, these routes called "walk outs" are not in existence anymore, but they mean just what they say, you 'walk out" of your post office burdened down with 1st class mail, 2nd class mail magazine's and flats, and bundles of addressed ADVO's or advertisement mail in your pouch and in both arms.

You follow the coordinated addresses on the mail to make your deliveries and when you finished delivering all the mail in your pouch and arms you will "like magic" be within a few feet of another "green relay box" full of mail for you to load up like a pack mule and continue to delivery mail again. 

This scenario plays out all day long as you travel in a complicated, upside down "U" or horseshoe pattern traveling from green mail box to green mail box until you hopefully/joyfully return to your starting point at the post office. 

If you are lucky, there will be a QuikTrip or some sort of fast food restaurant or other business establishment on your route. Because, if its not, someone may/will call-in on your for using their rose bushes as a toilet. 

Also, you pray it doesn't rain, because there is no room for a rain coat in you mail pouch. Additionally, you pray it doesn't start snowing, because no one is going to bring you any snow boots or gloves. 

And last but not least, you pray that you don't have to deliver in a hilly part of town where you may have to climb 10-20 steps up to the house mail box and then 10-20 steps down because a fence divides you from crossing over to the next house without coming back down the steps first.

So, you could have 20-30 houses, with 10-20 steps, on one side of the street and then have the same amount of houses and steps on the other side of the street.

Keep in mind this could be for one block are upwards of 40-60 blocks or nearly your entire daily route.

I had some very, very bad days on this walk-out route. 

There were days that I wanted to cry, there were days I did cry, there were days that I felt like I was going to die. More than once one of my postal customers would have to call 911 so that the The St. Charles, MO first responders could come to my aid and assistance  because I was passed out on the curb due to dehydration, heat stroke, and fatigue. Don't get it twisted, I was not the first individual to be subdued by a "walk-out" route. 

Countless, " postal new-hires", half my age, went running and screaming away from a city mail carrier position, in St. Charles, Mo. A position that could eventually pay an annual salary, with over-time, of over $100.000 a year. Many left after their first week, and some after their first day on a "walk-out route'.  But God had given me a different prospective. 

God had already orchestrated the USPS to hire an ex-federal convict. Surly, God wanted me to have this position so quitting was not an option.   

Gods grace and mercy has brought me all the way. It brought me through then and I realize that if tomorrow comes it will be because of Gods grace and mercy again. 

Not because of me. 

So in essence I just had to learn to deal with it all, the snow, the rain, the heat, the dogs, the hills and valleys, and the customers and trust God and Gods timing, knowing that in time this "#routeFromHell... too shall pass

I said all that to say this. 

We don't have a clue concerning what tomorrow may bring in regards to this Covid-19 pandemic, violence, poverty, homelessness, or any other wickedness that is running rampant in the earth, and especially in amerikkka, but one thing is for sure. 

The Creator of the World does.

 And he did nor give us the spirit of fear. What we must do is get all the way wrapped up inside the inner/spiritual man/woman so we can stop stressing over the things that are happening outwardly. 

 If you are connected to the spiritual current of God there is a calmness over on the inside that transcends all outer thoughts and understanding. 

There is a peace with-in that carries you through your daily affairs' and no matter what comes or goes your destiny is assured because yo have given your life "back" to the spirit of God that knew you when you were still connected to it in your mothers womb.  The same Spirit of God that made us in Gods image that we were connected to before we took on a body of flesh for our spirit to dwell in.

 Our day-to-day survival is mandating that we must strive  to live from the inside-out as opposed to the outside-in. Because, surly, everything on the outside is killing us.

We have to strive to live this life moment-by-moment taking no regard or thought about what we perceive is going to happen next year, next month, next week, or even tomorrow.

If we stay rooted and grounded in the spiritually current to the Creator of the World that has brought us this far we can be assured that our outcome will be exactly what it was intended to be before we first cried into this world. If we stay connected we wont be caught off-guard or by surprise.   In fact we #KaintLoose

 Remember all "skin folks ain't kin folks" and all "Christians ain't born again of Christ."

"AMERIKKKA2020"...........At the publishing of this blog the America that we {thought we knew} is, literally, crashing and burning out of control in one way or another, while at the same time preparing for the presidential election in less than 30 days. 

The West coast is burning up, hurricanes are making havoc of the South and East coast, the Gulf coast is under water, the infrastructure is crumbling, the country is plagued with disease, suicide and fatal crimes of passion are at an all time high, inner-cities are out of control and under siege by the criminals and the Feds, while the two geriatric presidential candidates are having a "joaning sesssion" labeled as a debate, on national TV.

Many people are blaming the current POTUS for the demise of America as well as for the Covid-19 virus that has this country and others in petrified mode - for obvious reasons. But, blaming one individual for a white supremist mind -set that has existed as long as amerikkka itself, is rather naïve, to say the lest.

 There has always been two Americas, one privileged and one not. So for some of us its heart-wrenching to recognize and realize that those "golden days of yester year" are gone forever. 

To be honest, no matter who occupies the white house after the presidential election this country will never be the same. Because the lid has been removed from Pandora's Box and the demons which use to operate covertly are now all out in the open, operating overtly, and running free. 

You see there is/was a strategy being used by the current administration and certain media outlets to terrify American's, especially those living in the suburbs and in rural areas, into believing that major cities are cesspools were savages, mostly black beast with guns, are allowed to run amok.

 Therefore, its open season on people of  color......just for being black.....and there is not a law able to be written and passed or an army big enough to enforce... the change of  heart and mind of wicked, satanic, people.

Undoubtedly, #2020, will go down in history as a year like no other.  Today, many Americans all over the country are celebrating Columbus Day and his founding of America (1 of many lies told about this country) and have celebrated the auspicious Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day holidays giving thanks and praise for living in such a place like this while simultaneously witnessing the emergence and on-set, of AMERIKKKA......the new/old normal.

It appears that the more things change.....the more they stay the same.

In 1968, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders(Kerner Commission), an organizing formed by the POTUS, L.B. Johnson, after outbreaks of rioting in nearly all major cities, concluded and reported that there were two societies in America/amerikkka, separate and unequal.

 WHAT!!!! 

This is madness!!

So for those that don't or didn't know it, we found out in the 60's (some of us knew way, way before that) that the country was racially divided. SO WHY??? are so many people, white people especially and black and brown people, in-particularly, acting as if the murder and mayhem of people of color is some how the result of the current POTUS and his rhetoric?

We have always known.

 Racism was built into the fabric of this country. It was built in the Constitution of The United States because #AfricansNamerikkka weren't even considered as human beings, we were thought of as more like a mule or a donkey. 

So, don't blame the current climate on the POTUS, blame yourself. 

Because we knew early on that trying to integrate into a country that didn't want integration was the wrong thing to do. Hundreds of years of slavery and Jim Crow laws should have proven to us that we weren't wanted in America. But, we tried anyway...gettin' in where we didn't fit in. And the more we tried the more they showed us they didn't want us around. Because as soon as we would move in......they would move out.

Politian's and preachers told us in the 60's that it was possible to fit in and be treated fairly in America so we assumed that laws could be legislated to #makePeopleLuvUs. But, it didn't take long to find out that that was a lie. So what we really ended up doing was something morally and spiritually conscience individuals should never do: 

.......give up the right for the wrong.

Bare with me if you will:

I retired from the USPS as a City Mail Carrier. I had what was primarily a mounted route; which means I drove a mail truck and delivered mail to mail boxes curbside. To do this operation there are certain rules that MOST be adhered to are you will have a problem. You have two sorts of mail to delivery: (1) is letter mail (DPS) automatically sorted and placed in order  - by address - for you and the other (2) is magazines and flat envelope mail sorted and placed in order by - address - by the Mail carrier(you, hopefully).

In front of each house you are to verify the letter mail and the flat mail match the address and make the delivery. This is called following the mail. The mail is set up by automation to know where it is going...you just have to follow the street addresses.

When you reach the end of the street, the standing rule is: TURN RIGHT...the next addresses will pick-up and  continue around this corner. No problem. 

Except, when the rule doesn't apply, like when the mail makes a U-turn and goes back down the same street on the other side, or when the mail "skips" the next block and goes to the next block and then turns right, or when the mail skips a block and goes to the next block and turns left.

Sound confusing......it is.

This may not sound like a big deal to most people but if you are delivering in an unfamiliar part of town or you are on an unfamiliar route, these little idiosyncrasies mentioned above could very well have you pulling your hair out while making your blood pressure rise as you are going around and around in circles, many times in the dark, looking for a way out of an area you have never been in before, nor should be in now in the dark, while the clock is ticking and your supervisor is fervently watching the clock waiting on your rerun.

The only thing you can say to your superiors in your defense is that I tried to follow the mail and kept TURNING RIGHT.  Still, you got lost!!! You did what you had been instructed and trained to do. Still, you got lost!!!  Even though you are lost and kaint find your way out of this maze or even back to where you started......you did what was right. As a new hire to the USPS letter carrying profession you never gave up the right for the wrong or in this case the "right for the left or the u-turn, or etc. etc. etc.

The point I am trying to make is that you never pick wrong over right....never. And I'm not talking about your right, nor my right, but the right that controls all of creation, the right that declares that justice must prevail in order to be right, the right that is balanced, not tilted, shaded or one sided.

It is believed that the road to hell is paved with people who had good intentions but never put them into practice. 

People who meant to to do the right thing but didn't....for whatever reason. Many just made the decision to just follow the crowd. 

Maybe, they didn't or couldn't do what "in their heart" was the right thing to do because the crowd they were following said not to and of course the crowd knew what was best because it was the religious crowd, or the political crowd, or the educated crowd with PH.D's, or the entertainment crowd, or the superstar athletic crowd, or the business crowd, the movers and shakers crowd, the people with  individual wealth crowd, or last but not least, your kin-folks crowd.

Whatever crowd you chose or choose to follow, if it wasn't/isn't the crowd that was/is following righteousness just because "its right to do right" you are or did follow the wrong crowd.

Back in the 90's there was an artist/rapper named Biz Markie. He coined a song entitled, The Vapors. It was about people "who" for whatever reason follow the crowd just because it looks, feels, or taste good, only to find that it really wasn't #good4U, because once the Vapors are gone you realize you have/had nothing real to hold on to. #UCaughtTheVapors. Like having religion and not knowing God.

A this present moment Amerikkka is on the verge of destruction. From without and from within. Sides or being formed and lines are being drawn in the sand. The only hope for AfricansNamerikkka, and for all people who realize that this is about the haves and the have nots, and not color, is complete separation from our common enemies and unity with our consciences brother and sisters in the struggle. 

Prudent people should realize and understand that this current madness is not going to stop until the people with the power to define realize that we have united and decided to stop being puppets. The only way we can prove that we are serious about our freedom is to start to corral our collective dollars in one central location.

Listen family, in 2019 the #AfricanNamerikkkan buying power was $1.4 TRILLION DOLLARS. This amount is higher than the gross domestic product of Mexico. Is is expected to increase to almost $2.0 TRILLION DOLLARS by 2024.

We spent(consumed) that much. We are the largest racial consumer market. But what do we own? We own little, if any land, we produce little, if any, of the countries resources, and possess little, if any(negligible) amounts of the nations wealth.

Many people, black and white don't believe that. But its true. We have been trained/fooled to believe that the many #AfricanNamerikkkan athletes, actors, and artist of all kinds have enormous amounts of wealth at their disposal. But they don't. You know who has control of all that money......SUPER MANAGERS(the massa of today) has all the control and money.... not the superstars themselves.

Many white liberals, and others, who are not racist 'per sa' don't feel our collective economic pain because they feel that #AfricanNamerikkkanSuperstars  have enough money to help their own people. But, politics and "good ole boy shenanigans' keep those with individual wealth,  those few who would like to do major things in their #AfricanNamerikkkan communities, are kept in hand-cuffs and in constant fear of losing what they have if they become #TooBlack. So, the black community and the majority of #AfricansNamerikkka continue to suffer because of economic genocide fueled by systemic racism.

Well, you know what, I'm done. And I mean that literally. Time is running out for me. I have more yesterdays than I have tomorrows. And I'm cool with that. Because God has been/is good too me. So, life , for me now,  is way more about the quality of life as opposed to the quantity of days.

 Look, none of us came here to stay and my body reminds me of that fact more and more everyday. If Covid-19, high blood pressure, diabetes, congestive heart failure, cancer, bullets with no name, cars with no sane drivers, or some other malady doesn't take me out of here, surly, something else will. There is no parking down here.

But before I go, if its Gods will, I would like #TheCreatorOfTheWorld to allow the POTUS to turn up the heat in #amerikkkasFurnance seven(7) times hotter than its ever been, seven(7) times hotter than normal. And if needs be then allow the mightiest men in Satan's army of imps to throw me into the furnace just like King Nebuchadnezzar did to the three #HebrewBoyzNAfrica,  a long, long,  time ago. 

You see, just like them, I refuse to #BowDown, I refuse to #GoAlongToGetAlong, I refuse to #PickTheLessorOfTwoEvils, and more than anything else, I refuse to #GiveUpTheRightForTheWrong. 

But keep in mind that the mighty men who throw the three #HebrewBoyzNAfrica into the fiery furnace "all died' while the #HebrewBoyz were delivered by #TheOne who looked liked #TheSonOfGod.

UNDESERVED FAVOR...aka(Cell Therapy....by Goodie Mob)

"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

At the writing of this blog the united states of america is in a state of lock-down.

The corona virus, aka, COVID -19, has put this country...and countless others into shut-down mode. Practically, everybody, is required to isolate in place. The fear is either of acquiring the virus - which could last approximately 14 days, or of acquiring the virus - and dying from it.

News sources broadcast that certain people are in the "high risk" category of becoming infected with the disease. If you are over 60, and or, have been diagnosed with underlying medical conditions such as chronic lung disease, heart conditions, diabetes, kidney or liver disease you might as well get a shovel and start digging because your fate is practically sealed.

Just recently media news sources released an updated statement declaring that if u are {heaven forbid} an AfricanNAmerikkka, you are automatically raised to an increased probability level for acquiring the deadly disease.

Well, I must be doomed because I meet the criteria for the high risk category.

So, with the thought that I might not be here tomorrow....I decided to write how I feel today. April, 29, 2020 in the midst of a pandemic of unprecedented proportions.

First, and foremost, let me say for the record that I have already been to hell and God delivered me from it.

 So the threat of acquiring a virus pales in comparison to what I have already been subjected to. The enemy had my body bound....possibly serving a 25 years to life federal sentence in addition to the 10 year sentence I walked in the door with.

But God had other plans and steered my body, mind and spirit to soar to a place well beyond my understanding. God, because of his will and purpose, for my life, extended to me " undeserved favor."

So as the world and this country go through these next weeks and months in panic mode God is keeping me in perfect peace because I am conscience of the fact that I have already received mercy instead of justice.

Having said that, let it be known that God doesn't have to do anything else for me......literally.

All that I could possibly require from the Master of the World is that when its my time to transition from human to divine is that its done quickly.

Listen, dying is a part of living, every single solitary person that reads this blog is going to die. And every single solitary person that does not read this blog is still - going to die as well.

Death is inevitable. Its not "if", its not even "when", its "how."  How u die is the mystery.

 So, the question then becomes......who wants to suffer????

Or who wants to spend years and years waiting on death to come while u slowly deteriorate while saddle with disease for which there is no absolute recovery or cure. Further, who wants to submit themselves to "X" amount of surgeries, procedures and medications attempting only to post-pone what is surly going to happen anyway.......no matter what u do.

Death is coming family.  Like it or not.  Postpone it or not. My only desire of the Creator is to be gracious when its my time.....come quickly....and reward me according to what he finds me doing.

Here is a thought:

 The pagan ritual/holiday - Easter - just recently passed.   Scripture states that The Christ hung out on the cross dying for three days and rose on the third day. Actually, it was more like a day and a half, from Friday evening until Sunday morning.

But regardless of the obvious difference in the math, I can die for three days.  If that's what it takes, I can do that.  Actually, if its Gods will that I become infected with the corona virus, I can die for 14 days or less, if that's what it takes.

But what I will not do, I refuse to put myself in-the-grave "worrying" about dying from the virus.

Listen, its only because of Gods grace and mercy that I have come this far. Its way tooooo late in the game to start worrying about "what could happen tomorrow............if tomorrow comes"

God has been good to me and has allowed me to have traveled here and abroad and experience God on so many levels. My Creator has allowed me to have fellowship with a plethora of God sent individuals, of many diverse faiths, religions, nationalities, cultures, hues, and skin tones. I have been witness to the power of God manifesting in the flesh of men/women from my toddler years right up until this present moment.

I have no regrets about this life....other than the regret of being mis-understood by the people that I love more than they will ever know.

Particularly my biological/extended family,  mainly my(9) children, (bearers of the blood line/TG4RG), my (16) grand-children, my (2) great grand-children and my spiritual family, who - up until this very day - never got the benefit of hearing the other side of the story.

Still, family, be assured that, no matter what it looked like..or how it seemed to be...God has never left me alone. Not now...not ever...

Even in my most trying times, and darkest hours, when I was being called everything but a child of God, I know without a shadow of a doubt that God was then...just as he is right now, ordering my every step, and preparing me for this very moment. Whether its in life or death God is getting the service out of me that was planned while I was yet in my mothers womb.

Having said that, let me say this. The spirit of God and truth within me keeps nudging me into the wisdom to know and understand that this pandemic is not what it seems to be or what we are being told that it is.

The truth cry's out from my soul saying that this is actually some sort of biological terrorist warfare being imposed upon america and others by a foreign country/nation..... or maybe even from within.

Time will eventually tell if this plague may or may not have been the direct result of the Israel mistreatment of the Palestinians in the Holy Land in conjunction with and assisted by the american government and its hostile mistreatment of people of color all over the world, and especially its mistreatment of the children of God.....namely AfricansNamerikkka.

Is the current POTUS responsible for the present calamity happening here and abroad? Not at all, but he is a major tool being used by the oligarchy establishment and he represents the mind-set of white supremacy shared by all the current and previous members.

Is there anything that can be done to avoid this plague that is now crippling the world?

Only God knows. But there is something that we all can do.

Currently, Muslims all around the world are partaking in the Holy Month of Ramadan which started on April 23, 2020 and will end after the sunset meal on May 23, 2020.

Since the world is on lock-down anyway, what a righteous and prudent thing it would be for all of us, from all religions and faiths, who profess to know God, to join in with the Muslims all over the world in fasting and pray.

 Granted, we have already missed the start but we could all join in with the over 1.8 billion Muslim prayer warriors and start to fast and pray on May 1, 2020 to the end of the fast on May 23, 2020, after the sunset meal.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 23 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAY CHALLENGE: {NOW KNOWN AS THE 40 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAYER CHALLENGE}

1.  Every morning before sunrise disciples should wash their hands and face, kneel(bow) in prayer, and partake of the pre-fast meal.
  a. after the pre-fast meal nothing is to be consumed into the body and that includes water.
  b. disciples are encouraged to get as much nourishment and drink as much water as possible to sustain yourself... without becoming a gluten.... because no more anything will be consumed until the sun-set meal.

2. Prayer is required and recommend 5 times a day during the challenge.The aim is to be en-sync with the rest of the praying world community. Because of the varied locations of the disciples, world wide, a general time for the 5 daily congregational pray times will be:
 a.  5:30 am - 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm.
 b.  whispering the word "mercy" between congregational pray times is highly recommended.

3.  During the challenge disciples are encouraged to read the entire Bible which can be divided into 23 sections over the 23 days of the challenge. Approximately, 3 books/chapters of the bible should be read each day starting with the book of Genesis ending with Revelations.
  a. the goal is to redirect the heart and mind away from all worldly activities, carnal cravings and behaviors. That's why abstinence from all things such as food, smoking, sex, etc, etc, is a mandate. Self-discipline and self control is imperative.
  b.  provisions should and can be extended for the sake of the elderly, pregnant, breast feeding, menstruation, and disciples with chronic health issues like diabetics who would find it too difficult to endure the challenge at the 100 per cent level for 23 days.

4.  Every evening after the sun sets disciples will wash their hands and face, kneel(bow) in prayer, and partake of the daily post-fast meal, and after the meal,  kneel(bow) in prayer again and thank God for this portion of another day and for giving us the strength to endure the fast and the courage to continue tomorrow....if tomorrow comes.
  a. the goal is not to integrate religion or to make one religion greater than another but to show an all mighty and sovereign God that we all are his children and that we all surrender collectively, - world wide - to YOUR WILL AND TO YOUR WAY.
  b. at the end of THE 23 DAY ALL FAITHS FAST & PRAYER CHALLENGE we are looking for and expecting a major awakening from God proving, what we already know, that the effectual and fervent pray of Gods children changes thing.

KAINT LOSE

                                          .....to LIVE is Christ.......to DIE is gain.......


According to scripture, the Apostle Paul, a devout Hebrew/Israelite, had come to the conclusion that he couldn't lose.

Either in life or death he had the victory.

He was convinced that he was a winner. He professed, for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate me from the love of God.

Wow!! what a completely divine spirit he possessed to make such a profound statement.

WHY!!!                                                   

Because everybody kaint say that.

In fact, most people kaint say that.

And of the ones that do say it...the majority of them are lying.

You have to be lying because no one REALLY wants to die to prove it.😏 No one wants to even think about dying. No one really wants to leave here. Many of us love this sin sick world toooooo much to leave it. We're having tooooooooo much fun.😈 Um hum keep having it. Play time is going to end soon☻

 So, for the few people who can make that statement and mean it .....it is only because you have had enough experiences in this life with God to know that nothing can compare to being saturated by his indwelling spirit "EXCEPT" being TOTALLY ENGULFED by it...free from the confines of your flesh/body.

Totally Free.

Oblivious to your current situation and conditions.

Anyone who has ever spent any substantial time in solitary confinement knows what I mean.

In solitary you have to learn to live your life in the spirit because you body/physical movements are redistricted to an area that is 10 feet high and 8 feet wide, for 23 three hours a day, everyday, every week, every month, and every year, year after year.

 So you must learn to live from within.... or should I say God has to teach you how to do it. I have witnessed the growth and development of some of the most physically, mentally, and spiritually adorned individuals on the planet, created by God, while warehoused in a 8/10 federal prison cell.

I have also met Satan in solitary.

On total lock down your choices are limited. You either become a god or you become a devil. You become a devil in (1) of (2) ways. (1)you become a devil because you literally go crazy{you become dangerous to yourself and start eating your own flesh}...... or (2)you  lose your righteous mind{the ability to love over hate}

          So, in order to survive and flourish you must TRUST GOD COMPLETELY!!!

You must trust God enough to know that if you're truly connected to God you will still be connected WITHOUT YOUR FLESH or without being able to see your reflection in the mirror.😅

This is too deep ain't it?😁

Let me give you an example. I had/have a younger brother...ten years my junior.

 The daunting young man in the middle holding my oldest daughter on his shoulders is my beloved brother Mark.

These other three charismatic characters, starting from the left is my youngest brother, my oldest son, and my oldest nephew. Like ALL my siblings - ( 3 three brothers and 1 sister) one day Mark had been touched, regenerated, and rejuvenated by the spirit of God while attending services at my fathers house of pray.(rsmbc)

 To be honest though, I'm not sure that Mark even needed to be, born again, or reconnected to the current of Gods Spirit - because his spirit never drifted far away from the upward path anyway. Mark was always, without trying, demonstrating what "#BeLikeChrist" was about. If there was a picture of a real friend, a brother, a confident, a son, an uncle, a cousin, or a nephew, in the dictionary, it would be a picture of Mark. He was just that all around, unpretentious, good guy. I didn't say that he was a saint...but he was as real and genuine as a person as you can get.

 Mark died when he was just 28 years young.😇

He transitioned from human and divine to just divine on October 31, 1993(#trickrtreat).

We knew Mark was sick........................ but we weren't expected him to leave us. Not like that.

Officially, they say Mark died because of complications associated with the disease Lupus.

We knew and understood as much as we could about what was going with him and the treatments and the side-effects of the medications.

We knew Mark was tired........................but we didn't know that in his weakness he was gaining strength in the inner-man.

His quality of life had been dramatically altered because of his physical conditioned. But what we didn't know was that Mark had evolved to a place where he made a conscience decision to live or die.

He decided to trust God completely. Mark totally stopped taking all medications and treatment for his multiple conditions and yet - kept going on - handling his daily affairs as usual until he couldn't any more.

Then one day he crawled into bed and never got up.

After he was gone we found a plethora of his medications under his bed. He just slept away......from earth to glory. It was his choice...his decision. And God was in the midst of it all because he had us - his family - in a daze. We left him alone in his room....we thought he was just tired and sleeping....HE WAS.

Oh sure, he could have stayed for the benefit of his family and others who wanted to continue to drain from his spirit. But it wouldn't have been the same. Those of us that professed to love him so much should of been stepping up our own evolution and evolving to the place where he was in his daily spiritual walk instead of being sorrowful basically because he was gone and we couldn't ride him anymore.😼

Instead of being thankful that he lived 'and died' on his on terms. Some of us who felt cheated let their mourning turn into bitterness towards those of us who were in mourning too.

But Mark lived his life to the fullest and for him to be confined to a life (which wasn't a life but an existence) of prescription drugs, medications, treatments and UNABLE to soar like he had always done WAS NOT the life for him.

Its not the life for me either.

Don't get it twisted I'm not trying to die but I'm not going to be kicking the hospitals and doctors door down trying to stay here either.

I've lived long enough to know that "the quality of life is more important than the quantity of days". You've got to grow into that spirit for yourself.....just like the Apostle Paul did.  He knew and I know that I kaint lose. In life or death. I know that I have the victory because I am connected to God like white on rice.😎

 And I'm not going to let anything separate me from that connection: not money, land, houses, cars, children, grand-children, great-grand children, wives/husbands, occupations, titles, degrees, men/women(including those that don't know what they are), church(including church business), drugs, the IRS, alcohol, religions(including religious names😼) pensions, prisons, licenses, afflictions, politics, mothers/fathers, surgeries(including having no surgeries), diseases, businesses,  poisons, war(including rumors of war) politics or stray bullets.

 I'm not going out of here stressing about none of that.

I refuse to be stressing out on things present nor on things to come.  And things present or bad enough but what is coming, will surly, take you out if you are not totally connected to, and caught up in, the spiritual current of life in God.

Listen up people.✍

As we embark into 2020 the current POTUS, Donald Trump, stands poised to be re-elected for four more years. These coming years will dismantle America as we now know it.
This profound truth has made former POTUS, Barack Obama, change his retirement plans.

 After Trumps initial upset victory as president and his re-election bid Obama has chosen a different profession: He has become an agent for social change by way of social media and he has amassed a cornucopia of high level officials, including advocates for conscience intelligence, and cyber security, that now have occupations in technology, media, and news organizations such as Netflix,  Google, Facebook, PBS broadcasting, and other media outlets.

Their goal is to connect with conscience minded individuals to thwart a movement by a repressive, totalitarian, authoritarian government that, at this point,  rules amerikkka and much of the world. The next four plus years will be dismal for this country and especially for africansNamerikkka. The sad truth is that this country will have to endure a time of intense suffering due to our own rebellion against God.

But the good news is that this time of suffering for a season will, eventually, bring about an era of extreme joy. A new day is dawning and the only way for those of us desiring to be a part of this "Great Awakening"is to be connected conscientiously and spiritually through mass social media outlets and venues not controlled by the government.

At the writing of this blog spiritual wickedness working for and through its imps is having a dramatic impact on the thinking, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, purchases and voting preferences of supporters of the current administration. Many people are preparing for civil, as well as, global war.

Its time to #wakeupfam.

The Outkast Revolutionary Party(ORP) can be compared to the old Hebrew Noah, in Africa, building an ark in the middle of the desert where it had never rained. Like Noah, we too have been creating a safe haven of truth, love, and information as, a charitable organization for a new generation.... since 1995. People laughed at Noah.........until it started to rain. Some people laughed at us until the current POTUS was elected....now, like that Gill-Scott Heron song, " its winter in amerikkka",  and nobody is laughing. They told Noah that he should quit and give it up. They told us that too. But it wasn't time for Noah - until it was time. It wasn't time for The ORP either......BUT ITS TIME NOW!!!
