The Cry for Justice. New Times with New Artwork! Ras Reasoning.

In the required precision of words in this time, InI had to take a time and meditate on the moment and thoughts that haven’t been said that could be a strength. I also am joyful to present new art that InI have produced in the last couple of months in conjunction.

We have globally entered a new time, and it is one that asks us to be more than we have ever been. The Covid-19 Pandemic challenged the politics and manipulation of words and truth. More of the World realized the power and weaknesses of being a world interlinked and somewhat reliant on each other. The ideas of rightwing governments clearly does contribute to a larger death rate than necessary. The wild conspiracies that have been unleashed fall apart easier because of the need for evidence in which there is none supporting the arguments, examples: that masks are political or that Antifa is behind the social unrest resulting in International Protests.  There is a need to express that though many are manipulating the narrative, Covid-19 is real, and it is important to realize that no matter who started it, it is a global threat and should be taken seriously.  What also needs to be taking seriously is learning opportunity that has been placed on the World to receive in order for humanity to evolve, concerning blatant racism, systematic racism, institutional racism, and environmental racism. All of these will come down to the methods of Empire, both modern and classical. The moment and timing may seem scripted or produced, keep in mind that the media’s job is to script and produce, it’s supposed to appeal to an entertainment quality not a accurate or true narrative. Journalism since its inception has strived, yet rarely achieves a non bias stance. Alright, next subject, True Liberation..

Rastafari as a movement is based in Black Liberation, it could be said that all faiths are based in liberation theology in order to have a liberating appeal and affect. Rastafari as a movement as diverse as we are, that realize that purpose of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I standing against Fascism and Colonialism, was that of a Spiritual war that attacked Foreign domination, resulting in the call for collective security, international morality and human rights. It was the moment when an African Voice would usher in a greater humanity if accepted. We look from an African perspective about ambitions that nations propose, and whether it is based on true unity or exploitation. For the most part, it seems that the methods of capitalism that most nations export is fostered on exploration of the poor and the destruction of the environment. Hence why looking at the treatment of the poor, who will be people of color in majority internationally will lead ones to conclude that attacking racism will conclude in the attacking of the foundation of capitalism and empire as we know it. Mystery Babylon.

There is difference between African American Political Science and Black Liberation, a difference between Political Pains and Prophetic Pain. What is happening within and around the Black Lives Matter movement is addressing the micro in the macro. Slowly the reasoning is expanding to the inherent relationship between Empires and the racism in many forms that exist locally where ever people live. It is not a solely American problem as international protests reveal, it is also not a new problem. When in my hometown of Albuquerque N.M. where a statues of Don Juan Onate were either forcefully removed or the removed by the city, reminded the world that racism was brought over by the Spanish, in which many were themselves were running from the Spanish Inquisition masking their Jewish identity. Sometimes in the case of Onate, the Spanish themselves found Onate to be a monster and told never to return to NM. The State has agreed, that it is backwards. Likewise the actual multi-national corporations that were involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade were not of one nation or nationality.  Extraordinary things are happening right now, as English Banks admit their guilt. Many corporations across the Earth as well as Banks are simply accepting that they have profited from Black Suffrage and want to make amends in some way. For the first time reparations are being spoken about in European countries that may result in action. Rastafari as a movement hold that Reparations, and Repatriation is part of the Redemption of Mankind. Being part of the process no matter where ones are from is a work for humanity at large and a Glory to God.

Though I am skeptical of ” Allies “, we indeed are a people that are all in the same boat and it is in truth that we will be better off as humanity working together. There is a great hypocrisy in the midst of the ignorance of the general United States population. Not to be condescending, coming from an African perspective, the United States is the Policeman that has had his knee on the neck of most of the world for decades. Except when Trump’s favorite dictators see dissent they use live bullets given by the United States to kill their citizens. The importance of the US citizens to be aware of the military industrial complex and the methods of control used by the super powers of the world, will conclude that there is no desire what so ever, to have accountability in the course of violent domination. Journalist as often seen as the enemy, and no one is exempt from being beaten. This was made very clear by Trumps Administration rejection of The International Criminal Courts investigation into human rights violations by US soldiers in Afghanistan on US soil. Afghan lives don’t matter to this government or the majority of its tax payers. The same Knee of the USA is on the necks of people of Yemen, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libyans, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Muslim Chinese, Haitians, Cubans, Venezuela, and many more where their lives are discarded and the US is majority responsible.  These proxy wars, and drone attacks and sanctions, result in mass numbers of innocent men, women and children dying. Europes and the United States Foreign Policy is based on Military strength and has taught other nations that the law is about domination. The illusion of ” Freedom ”  and “Democracy” and Human Rights are a vague concept to most the world, this is because it is usually the US or another foreign power/ corporation that exercises their will on that population to feed that entities needs. They buy warlords, mercenaries, and politicians. This is the status quo, it has been so for thousands of years.

It can also be a cialis price pdxcommercial.com good option for beginners who aren’t comfortable with internal massage initially. It generic levitra regulates the copulation due to increment of stimulation which is absolutely wrong. But, chronic inflammation plays a role in heart disease and high cholesterol.
When I see the present day, the realities of how some are in totally different worlds are becoming more apparent. It has caused a great amount of introspection about how this can be addressed in a just way. There is no bad place to start when it comes to proper policing and governance, where ever it starts is positive, and that it is built on is even more crucial. We have heard ideas grow, and even enacted when it comes to defunding the police, ( which doesn’t mean eliminating policing). The history of why there is so many police, the drug war, and racism is all connected and should be looked at internationally as a form of a war on the poor, and also a reflection of their governments reliance of military power over peaceful forms of communication. There is a need for proper peace keepers to be empowered, and this is often where Spiritual meet Political. The call for Justice will only open up the serious wounds that are carried by indigenous people, it will also bring to light the global bias and disempowerment of women. As a human race, the fight for true equality and basic respect has only just begun, and no matter where the spring arises, it should be utilized to water as many plants as possible. We cannot forget that the fight for Justice and Rights is one that is rooted in Spiritual thought, and part of why Emperor Haile Selassie I presents so many solutions for the World to actualize. That this is a battle of Empire, a battle of the nature of what makes of the Kingdom of the Most High, or that of Babylon.

For Us as Rastafari, the way you see the Creator reflects about how you see yourself, and how the I see the I self, is how others will also see you. We are a reflection of an African King and Queen, and it is in the Order of the Conquering Lion of Judah, The King of Kings and the Queen of Kings we walk. Ethiopia is a beacon for the world to learn of perspectives and teaching that is not Euro-centric and yet also embracing of others. We see Earth as being both Heaven and Hell, and that this time was given as a challenge to live up to the Words of Emperor Haile Selassie I, that these are the last days of Babylon and that the Root of David, The Lion and the Lamb have already come to prepare us for this day and the days to come. Let the Earth be cleansed, and restored, as well as Our Hearts and Minds.
