Guest Blog by "I AM"

Zombies or unknown soldiers in unmarked graves; the family and friends  society turns their backs on. Those whose morale values don’t match up with the Amerikkkan dream (F.Y.I. one can only dream if one is sleep.) Those who look for “freedom” from reality through drugs or living lawless like a sovereign, in a country that’s ranked #15, in 2015, on the international freedom chart; who knows being free for a purpose is just as, if not more, important than being free “from” a situation. That’s who “I AM”.

Stuck in a perpetual state of dehumanization and uncertainty where even a conscious, learned man of many strengths has his resolve tested beyond societal beliefs. This shouldn’t be confused with venting or belly aching. This is a fucking warning to all unnatural, racially destructive, maniacal capitalists who refuse to change their ways.

We have awoke, as foretold, and we are teaching. The diabolical torment heaped upon us, beginning at childhood, stemming from something so simplistic as melanin, has made our souls self-conscious. Even the layman can identify the surface effects from lynching, raping, under educating, poisoning, etc… however, only an initiate of this second plateau of their sickness can know how deplorable the conditions of confinement truly are.

The entranced and underdeveloped have been tricked into perceiving us as their enemy. When in actuality we’re their first and last line of defense and only line of offense. The cowardly masses are shot in their backs as they run away or lay on their backs with their hands in the air, afraid to shed blood, as capitalists paint the town red with theirs. No people has ever been freed throughout history without doing so through bloodshed. The panic stricken mourners offer up a God that was given to them by the same people who are doing the killing, as a cease fire or white flag. The world is watching in amazement and disbelief, not at what’s being done, rather at what’s not being done about it. Sporadic heroes give glimpses of Maroons and Black August. Yet, only now, when our level of torture peaks, are we able to shed fear and see clearly the path before us.

The course this civilization has taken, guided by capitalists, has ran it’s course. Trinkets and bobbles have had their allotted time.

The masses are no longer worthy of being called hu-mans; genetically, mentally, or spiritually.. They are afraid to take their gaze off the carrot. They were tricked to believe that the inferior thinking practices forced on them for 1,000 plus years is irreversible and they can’t make it without their capitalist masters. We, the awakened ones, know better.

Stop cowering, fearing, and respecting the capitalist security forces; FBI, CIA, etc… especially when they are sanctioning killing you.

The snake snatched up by the eagle either succumbs to death and is eaten, or it fights back to be released and lives; unless you’re afraid to live. People in Amerikkka are the nucleus for reconstruction. Even if you choose not the be that catalyst, the inevitable will force you in a corner;  and your RE-actions will not be counted as signs of change, nor sacrifice. For future reference, all we ask is that you not become traitorous and you stay out of our way if you don’t have the iron.

“I AM”

Introduction

As this is the first blog of what I hope will be an infinite series, from diverse bloggers; I thought  it appropriate to introduce myself. I am Herukhuti Sharif, known only as Anthony S. Gay by those associated with the Amerikkkan Empire and dominant culture. I am an ultra-humanist, a self determinationist/collective autarkist and a maroonist, ideologically and philosophically. I am an author, writer, mentor, teacher, historian, and anthropologist; a son, father and grandfather. A human being! I am also a victim of genocide, tortured on a daily basis, nutritionally deprived, socially dead and wondering why no one gives a damn. Tens of thousands of beautiful, resilient, capable human beings languish and die in Amerikkka's concentration camps, amd the world doesn't seem to notice or care; if we were animals. society would be in an uproar. But that also reflects the hypocrisy and opportunism of a certain "breed" of person that picks and chooses when and where they'll accept cruelty and who (what species) they'll protect from injustice.

My motivation for participating in this dialogue is so that we ALL recognize and the pro-actively engage in our roles as mutual stakeholders in our struggles for independence, agency and meaningful lives. My Intent is not to merely complain about our circumstances as prisoners, or to glean some temporary satisfaction from "being heard." That's a very myopic perception of what's going on here. No, what this is about is: one community WAKING UP; acknowledging and accepting the clear vision of what's going on; and deciding to no longer be the objects and victims of history. Seeing the biggest picture possible is key here. whereby, we, as the underdeveloped oppressed class, initiate a "decolonization process" that evolves into full scale counter-cultural lifestyles and modes of resistance and defection from systems designed to exploit us.

I've said it before that captives cannot view ourselves as. and shouldn't be viewed as, "charity cases" or "victims" that outside "activists" need to advocate for and support. (Please read my proposal for a prisoner/community alliance) Unemployment and employment are products of colonialism and equate to oppression; they effect us captives too. The torture and dehumanization captives experience effects you, especially when we return to you broken and worse that when we left you. We are victimized by a rogue judicial machine of prosecutors, judges, sheriffs, parole officers, wardens and corrections officers on a moment by moment basis... and it effects the whole CLASS of underdeveloped oppressed peoples. So, in my analysis, we must respond, pro-actively, from that premise in a way that tears down the illusory walls that divide the two halves of our community: non-incarcerated prisoners and incarcerated prisoners - or - "free world" captives and imprisoned captives.

We all have the same interests to fight for, protect and pursue; different skill sets and talents and capacities to contribute. So please don't look at prison abolition work as helping people who are different from you or experiencing something somehow removed from your experiences. This fight against the judicial machine (prisons being but one component) is Ground Zero for the most relevant and pronounced stage in White Supremacy's and Colonialism/Capitalism's wars against the oppressed and nature. This is the "Justice Struggle" of the century and it won't just phase itself out. It will only intensify. and go down in history as the most sophisticated and heinous formula for cultural genocide and political neutralization. Once we begin to move as a single organism, utilizing systems, you'll see how occupying prisons and public spaces; donating books or college courses to captives; and forming cooperative business ventures with prisoners will all actually result in positive changes out there. We'll see our very lives improve when we don't just vote and wait for others to do for us what we should do for ourselves. As long as our oppressors know their "divide and conquer" strategies still work against us, they have nothing to fear. When they know you've abandoned us and trust they have the best of intentions to serve and protect. then they've got us right where they want us. And things will never improve for any of us, collectively. We, who are here in Arizona, have added, unique, sets of historical circumstances to deal with, that still haunt today's socio-political and economic realities. The capitalist bourgeois Elite have driven what seems like a permanent wedge between the various sectors of the underdeveloped communities. There's not a sizable, active, effective anti-imperialist movement here. Yet! I aim to be an active witness and contributor towards reversing this status quo. I take this platform and opportunity as a great responsibility to be honest and real; and to open myself up to your ideas. suggestions and partnerships. I welcome your criticism and feedback, and sincerely believe  we will be doing some amazing, never before thought possible things in there near future. Please engage in this state-wide conversation with us about how we can hold the judicial machine accountable as well as show how it is obsolete and unnecessary.

Be well. In struggle,

Questions for the People:
Is there anyone who'd be interested in developing youth organization (so called "gang") mediation and re-direction programs with me?

Will anyone out there assist me in creating more self improvement and transformation curricula? Any teachers, parents, mentors coaches out there ready to join forces?

What about urban farmers? I have some ideas on independent food production and distribution programs.
