Dr. Vernors was a pharmacist in Detroit. While working in a drug store he stated experimenting with ginger ale. The story goes he left some of his ginger ale experiment in a cork barrel for 4 years, because he went off to fight in the Michigan Calvary during the Civil War. After returning and opening the cork barrel he noticed the soda had been changed by a aging processes.

So 1896 James Vernor and his son closed the drug store and opened a soda bottle company on Woodward ave south of Jefferson.

He was a leading businessman in Detroit and severed on many boards before he died in Grosse Ile at age 84.

The Vernors company  was trademarked in 1911. It is not the oldest ginger ale soda in America, but it is the oldest surviving ginger ale soda in America to this day!

Transfer: Secrets of the Black Church, held by its Clergymen!

Secrets of the Black Church, held by its Clergymen!

Secrets in the Black Church, held by its Clergymen!

This is a issues that goes all the way back to the start of Black Preachers in the fields of southern America. These Black preachers were hand picked by slave owners to be preachers over the other slaves, as long as he kept the slave owner interest first and God's interest second?

I will now bring one hot topic to the front, to be examined by all. "Please go ask your ministers about this topic to see if am truthful in what am writing about"! For along time now the Black ministers that went to a pastoral college or seminary school knew that Christianity was a adopted religion from "Kemet" Ancient Egypt?

But yet they still preached and taught that Ancient Egyptians were bad people and enslaved the Israelite? Thus promoting the Roman Catholic Church lies and propaganda scheme. Leading to generations of people hating Black Africans, even causing Black African descendants to hate their ancestors and themselves!

If you notice everything against African people by Europeans and White people they claimed it came from the Bible? How is that possible, unless the bible is gear towards making African people bad or unworthy of living, or just simply a cursed people?

Now to the Black man and his part in this? But you have to know a little church history to understand whats going on. The first Black mega church in America was started in Harlem, New York in 1930s during the depression era, by Father Divine {search the blog for more information about him/ the search box is to the right/ enter his name}. Father Divine was a millionaire of dimes and nickles when most Black families didn't even have have bread for dinner? But, after his raise to power he put together a counsel of Black Minister to set forth a agenda for Black people. One of the main topics that came up was releasing the truth to Black people concerning the Bible? Father Divine and other top ministers said "No" do not release the information it would not be in our best interest, and it would be bad for business!!!!

Now to the hero?

Now, to deal with Martin Luther King and the modern Black Church. This is a case of "The blind leading the blind?

Did Martian Luther King know about this also? "Absolutely yes". He wrote about it while attending Crozer college in 1950. The body or subject of the paper was about how Christianity was adopted from Ancient Egyptian "Mystery System Belief"!

In all his interviews, speeches and writings not once, I say again not once did he mention that he knew Christianity was a adopted African religion, from them same bad Egyptians in the Bible!

Isn't that kinda odd when you are suppose to be a unifier for your people and telling them the truth?
Well you have to decide, I just present the truth!

Please Google: MLK writes on the origins of Christianity, from the Mystery Systems.

I promised members of know thy self11, that I would ask the hard question and dig deep! No matter how deep the fall out maybe? So you all demand war, I will give you war, but you need to look no father than the nearest mirror for your enemy! The hatred of self and ones people, is primary reason why Blacks in America can not over come!

My final conclusion, in the advancement of Black people, is that we will never over come anywhere in the world as long as we hold on to Western or European Christian teachings and value system. The Western Christian teachings and value system is gear to be against African and African descendant people.

Transfer: Kemet in the Bible Section- Joseph

Kemet in the Bible Section- Joseph

Kemet in the Bible section, is to show the connections between the Bible and the Kemetic belief system. Many if not all story that are in the Bible come directly from Kemet.

When referring to the Bible in this topic, it is in reference to the Old Testament.

*Tip
I will give definition of certain words to keep certain readers on pace.

Kemet- the modern day area of Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan.
Bible- referring to Holy Bible {Torah}
Vizier- adviser 
Thutmose- dedication to the Deity {God} Thoth- {Thoth bore him}
Nubia- Southern Egypt and Sudan
Hebrews- are Black African people
Jews- are White{European base or stock} people. Base or stock meaning primary, but mixed ethnically.

The Biblical Joseph is actually the Kemetic Grand Vizier Yuya!
Joseph name in Hebrew is Yosef !
There are so many correlations between the two characters, that without a doubt you will see the story was plagiarize from the Ethiopian Bible {Tewahedo- geez}.

The Ethiopian Bible is much older the Hebrew Bible which is much older than the Christian Bible. The characters of the Bible are based on the characters of the Ethiopian Bible.

Grand Vizier Yuya lived during the 18th dynastic period. This period also is known as the "Thutmose period". He was married to Tjuyu. Yuya was the father to Queen Tiye and her brother Anen. Yuya is the Grandfather of Akhenaten and Great-Grandfather of Tutankham {King Tut}.

Yuya name is spelled many different ways this suggest that he did not originate from Kemet {Egypt} but from a foreign land {unknown}. Yuya did live in a town called Akhmin, Upper Kemet.

There are some whom suggest that Yuya name when spelled in Kemetic is very similar, to the Hebrew spelling {Yosef}? His origin, based on his mummies feature are that of a Nubian. This would definitely make him Hebrew from a physical stand point! The original Hebrews are Black African people!

This information you are about to receive is historical because it directly challenges the Bible. This puts the creditability of the Bible into deep, deep jeopardy.

What am saying to you in simple and plain English is that the Hebrews for a short time ruled ancient Kemet {Egypt}. The secret linage of the Hebrew Pharaohs which is not in the Bible nor suggested in the Bible.
Why do I say secret? Read Psalm 83 in the Bible {KJV}. They tell you the plan for the other nations {Whites and Arabs} to divide and conquer the Israelite {Hebrews- Black African people}   

* *Tip
Hebrew Rulers and Pharaohs in Kemet {Egypt}
1. Queen Tiye
2. Pharaoh Akhenaten
3.Pharaoh Tutankhamen {The boy king}

This would in large make the whole story of the Israelite being bondage a big lie! How could the Israelite be in bondage if their Pharaoh {King} himself sat on the throne?

Similarities of the Yuya and Joesph

1. Both were Hebrews.
2. Both there origins are not known.
3. Both held high office in the Egyptian Royal Court
4. Both were Grand Vizier to the Pharaoh
5. Both became wealth and powerful
6. Both had their families come to Egypt or and family came into power.

Transfer: March on Washingington D.C. 1963 & 2013

Friday, August 23, 2013

March on Washington D.C. 1963 & 2013

Saturday, August 24, 2013 will be the 50th anniversary "March on Washington D.C."
This event is remember by Dr. Martian Luther King's "I have a Dream Speech".

The purpose of the blog is also to give the truth or little unknown facts about events in history.

*Tip
I will have to give my disclaimer before, I continue. Because my personal stands is very unpopular towards MLK. Personally, I do not agree with many of his main stream views. Personally, I think the way he went about desegregation was all the way wrong. I do not feel as a man you, beg another man for anything especially a place at his table! I lean towards the Nation of Islam view on desegregation "For self by Self" meaning do for self and the other man will respect you, now lets negotiate on mutual terms.

Now 1963 March on Washington, First of all this march was not at all like it was portrayed to be! This was suppose to be a militant style protest which most protest are.

**Tip
When most Black people hear the word militant associated with a Black man, they view it in a derogatory manner, how come, am not really sure? Because my thinking was "a real man stands up for his family, land and freedom"? So when a Black man does this "he becomes militant and that is negative"? The older generations have carried a lot of non- thinking and slave mentality thinking with them through out the years, this needs to change. 

In 1963 those people Marched on Washington D.C. because they were angry, I say very angry! Because the fact of the matter was President John F. Kennedy won the 1960 president election and had not delivered not one piece of legislation down to congress in the way of a Civil Rights Bill for Blacks! Not only no rights were being worked on, but now the inner cities were dealing with urban flight. Urban flight took mostly all the jobs with them to the suburbs, especially the good paying jobs.

So Black people took a bold step and they wanted to confront John F. Kennedy and his administration for their lies and betrayal to Black people who gave their vote to Kennedy based on he would pass a Civil Rights Bill for Blacks. Blacks rallied together before Kennedy would leave office in 1964 to see if he would pass a bill for Civil Rights?

The estimates are 200,000 to 300,000 people attend the March on Washington. The march was originally for Black laborers about 10,000 of them organized by Baynard Rustin and others. Baynard Rustin was originally meant to lead the March on Washington, but after the "Big Six" the 6 main organizers met with Kennedy about the protest, he warned them that any militant or violence would be met with force, from him! {President Kennedy}

This is when they {Big 6} decide to bring in a less fearful person, Dr. Martin Luther King! This is not widely discuss or shared but this caused a major division among Blacks Leader and Black people! Many did not want Dr. King to represent them, "they felt he was to soft, timid and weak" to lead the protest and get results!

***Tip
A lesser known fact the Kennedy's hated Martin Luther King! JFK felt MLK was a thorn in his side, because Coretta Scott King was always calling asking the Kennedy's {John & Bobby} for federal troops to protect MLK during his protest. Also Coretta Scott King was always calling and demanding that the Kennedy's call and get MLK out of jail and to make sure no harm came to him during his stay's in jail. This put a lot of tension between JFK and his democrat base in the southern states! Which was leading towards not supporting him and no re-elect!

Kennedy understand his position, and welcome MLK as the leader of the protest as a lesser of the two evils in his eye sight, only because he knew that Baynard Rustin would be way more militant than King would be, and probably would not leave until a Civil Rights Bill for Blacks was written and submitted to congress before he left, and JFK had no plans of dealing with Black issues until his second term as President if then? So this is why in general people felt Kennedy supported the protest, but Kennedy had just dodge a huge political bullet, in the way of not having to deal with Baynard Rustin and the older more keen and militant leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.

****Tip
Militant does not always mean violent, as many would have you believe!
Example: This topic you are reading could be viewed as militant, because it goes against a general consistence of some people which makes me seem like a radical!

Example.2: Jesus Christ was consider militant also? Because his views were radical for the time period in-which he lived. He spoke out against injustice and the Roman Empire.

Example.3: Early Christian explores to the New World were violent, who killed, raped and enslaved in the name of God! That is what you call violent. This blog has only hurt feelings of some people, but no physical acts have occurred nor been aspired to do so.

HINT:
Many Africans and Native Americans lost their lives in the name of Christ! Why do think Blacks are so fearful when it comes to Christianity? Not so much unto God as they would have you believe, but in the culture and genetic {d.n.a.} FEAR is reinforce by death from the White MAN! {another topic/ thus explaining why Black people in America are the only people who pray to a God that does not look like them physically/ a white, blue eyed Jesus}!!!

The final conclusion, that I have many points of interest not crediting MLK as a great leader. I do love MLK still because he tried to do something he, did not sit on the side lines criticizing everyone else for their attempts to do something. Yes, I feel he was a very weak leader, and hurt us as a people moving forward!

Why, I say this because I have studied the White man intensely for over 25 years! I have study the art of war/ and political methods for over 25 years. The first thing I learned is that the White man does not give credit to any Black man unless, I say again unless that Black has benefit the cause and interest of the White man greatly! {Supreme Justice- Clarence Thompson} 

Secondly understanding war and political methods of the world, no enemy promotes a hero of the enemy unless he 1. works for them secretly! 2. Is not really a factor to them, {the enemy} 3. They want the weak leader to stay in power so that a stronger leader does not emerge and defeat them.

Why not keep promoting MLK {the enemy} if you study numbers from 1963 to 2013, Black have lost ground in every area except SELL- OUTS {the entertainment industry} this is the only area Blacks have gained any ground since 1963!!!

I said all that to say this, I will be in Washington D.C. for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington! Being together does not mean everyone does same thing or think a like its about supporting one another in the same struggle. In life there is usually more than one road to get to a destination, MLK had his road, I have mine, but I still support my Brother!

Thanks MLK!
