2nd Annual BOYCOTT THE HOLIDAYS campaign

It's time for the 2nd Annual BOYCOTT THE HOLIDAYS campaign. As with any revolutionary idea, last year met with a little contention, but we hope that the past twelve months have shown the community that this idea makes sense. Last year the U.S. consumers gave corporations $584.3 billion dollars (U.S. consumer holiday spending (2010)). We have allowed corporations turn a pagan holiday into the "Birthday" of Jesus in order to make money to close out their fiscal year.

St. Nicholas and "Black Peter"

There are a lot of people who celebrate the Christmas Holiday around the world. Depending upon where you are, they could have “Black Pete’s” delivering presents or Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) delivering the presents to the children. Most of the people that celebrate this Holiday attribute it to the birth of Jesus Christ and they gather with their families and friends over those couple of days Eve/Day and exchange gifts and enjoy feasts. From Black Friday to New Years Eve (end of fiscal year) we are bombarded with advertisements by corporations who try to put us in the "Christmas spirit" which equals purchasing goods from them. Recently some have stopped trying to hide their intentions and took the Christ out of it all together and just started referring to it as X-mas.

Santa Claus

Last year we showed that Christmas is no where in the bible, was not Christs birthday and was actually a pagan observance (Jer. 10:1-5). This year the focus is going to be on all of the things we can achieve by BOYCOTTING THE HOLIDAYS instead of handing over our money to corporations.

There are so many things that we can do on our own that has nothing to do with the powers that run the world right now. We are waiting for them to save the planet by changing over to environmentally friendly ways to live when we have the power to do it ourselves. We say we don't have money to implement these plans but we do. The cost to build an eco-city is in the range of $22 billion (US) dollars for the Masdar eco-city to $77 billion (US) dollars for Emerald city concept cities. China has teamed up with Singapore to build Tianjin (eco-city), so we know it can be done. The question is why do we have to wait for corporations and governments to do it when we have the money ourselves? We know that in six weeks we give corporations almost $600 billion dollars just for presents. That's not including our regular expenses such as gas, electric, food and other recurring expenses that we have. Those numbers don't consider our worldwide community either, so if we add those numbers to the half a trillion dollars of the U.S., we're talking a lot of money.

Everyone knows that education is very important and though our governments can't give money to educate us, they have no limit to the amount of money to wage wars. Sticking with the U.S., last year the U.S. invested $77.8 billion (US) dollars on education. By contrast, in 2010 the U.S. invested $663.8 billion (US) dollars on the military. Money goes where the priorities are and we can see that educating the people isn't a priority for the U.S. government. It should be our priority, and if we didn't give $584.3 billion (US) dollars away to corporations in a 6 week period over the holidays, we could take charge of our own educations. Remember, these are just U.S. figures. Imagine all of the innovative ways that we could teach our children along with making sure our teachers were paid for their value. Do you think that teaching would be a profession that people would want to join if we took control of our own educations?

Christmas shoppers

We should also consider the fact that these powerful banks and corporations can't exist unless we give them our money. We gave the corporations $15.171236 trillion (US) dollars last year world wide. Why should we continue to feed the beast? That is a soft spot in the armor of the dragon, they need us but we don't need them. Mankind was doing well without banks and corporations and we will do better after they are gone. There will be a transition just like any dependency and yes we are dependent to these entities. Think of all the pain and suffering around the world because of corporations. All of the children in Africa working in mineral and gold mines for corporations. All of the people in Asia and Central and South America slaving for pennies to make products that corporations sell to everyone else at overinflated prices. The way the corporations take pensions and underpay their workers so the executives and shareholders can accumulate massive amounts of wealth. Why should we continue to contribute to our own conditions by supporting these entities? Especially during a season that we know has nothing to do with Jesus?

IT WAS WRITTEN:

Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:1-5

Christmas tree and discount signs meet shoppers.

IT WAS WRITTEN:

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. JESUS/Luke 17:20,21

We have the power to change our condition, so do you think God is not with us in our effort? There is absolutely nothing wrong with not celebrating an old Babylonian custom and coming in compliance with our Father. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the money that we give to corporations to build a better life for ourselves. With that in mind, we need everyone to share with as many people and groups as possible and get the word out. Let's not just Occupy Wall Street, let's boycott them. We can start by BOYCOTTING THE HOLIDAYS.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: The history of Jews in Africa

The information on this link provides outstanding information on the trek of our families from Eastern Africa to Western Africa and Spain. It also highlights the life of Dehiyya al-Kahena the Queen of Africa who was a real life "super" hero. It's a shame that while people create movie heroes, we have a real hero that was not only a woman but was one of our ancestors. This information shows the respect that women had in our societies and goes against what we've been taught about ourselves all the way around. We understand that our nation is greater than just the tribes of Judah(Judah/Benjamin/Levi), but since we are all family, everyone should take pride in this history.

The Corporation (Documentary)

Whether we know it or not, corporations play a major role in all of our lives. Most of us receive our news from corporations, work for corporations, receive healthcare from corporations, are fed by corporations, etc. If corporations have that much influence in our lives, shouldn't we know more about them? Here's a great expose on the corporation, please take the time to look at both parts, it's very informative.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: JESUS is not GOD

There was a recent discussion about JESUS where a few questions were raised. All of them were good and were answered according to what was written by our ancestors and we will share them with you. The first question was whether JESUS is GOD.

There are many misconceptions throughout the Christian religion about who Jesus actually was. The first misconception is that Jesus is God. This is an incorrect assumption and is believed among many because of religious teachings. We can verify through many scriptures that Jesus and God are two different beings. The first is found in the book of Daniel and it clearly shows that he is not God. Daniel, who lived before JESUS, saw JESUS after he was resurrected and wrote about what he saw. Daniel referred to God as the Ancient of Days and Jesus as the Son of Man..

IT WAS WRITTEN:
Daniel 7:13,14

¹³I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

 ¹⁴And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Jesus also made the distinction between himself and God (The Father) and referred to himself as the Son of Man.

IT WAS WRITTEN:

JESUS/John 8:28,29

²⁸Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

 ²⁹And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Our brother Paul wrote about Jesus being acknowledged as the Son of God in the book of Romans and also made the distinction between Father and Son in his writings.

IT WAS WRITTEN:

Paul/Romans 1:1-7

 ¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

 ²(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

 ³Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

 ⁴And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

 ⁵By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

 ⁶Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

 ⁷To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

These are a few of many writings by our ancestors that give us the understanding that Jesus and God are two different beings, but also that religions have taught contrary to our ancestor’s writings. The belief of God coming to earth as a man goes all the way back to Babylon and is part of the Pagan or false god teachings that our nation has always been taught not to follow. This was covered during the “Holiday Season” as one of the reasons why we shouldn’t celebrate the Babylonian/Pagan holiday known today as Christmas. So here’s a few scriptures that should give understanding to those who were taught that JESUS was God, and we hoped they helped. We will cover the other topics in the weeks to come.

PROJECT UPDATES: Kenya trip update

Here’s a brief update on our volunteer trip to help the Gods Vision for Africa schools in Kenya.  The trip has been moved to December 6^th to December 24^th 2011 because this will be a more convenient time for all who may participate. This is a time of year where more people have time and money to travel.  We would also like to take supplies to the Dadaab refugee camp to help those who are caught in the famine. We are looking into how feasible it would be for us to work that into the trip, but we would love suggestions on what would be of help to those who are there. A couple of suggestions are seeds and clothes, but if there are any other suggestions, they are appreciated.

 If you are interested in participating contact our trip coordinator, Jessica C. at Thecoginfo@gmail.com for more details.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH: Making the Case for Jesus Christ

PART 1: A man that walked the earth


If there is any mans example that we should follow it should be Jesus Christ. We would like to point out a liberating fact from the outset that should bring much understanding to some. Jesus Christ has already lived and died, when he returns, everyone will know, there won't be any mistaking it. (It was written). Until that day that is written comes and He gives out the Crowns, we are all the same and should operate as such. "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Many things have been done in the name of Jesus and some of these things have been wicked. The wickedness done in the name of Jesus Christ has had a two-fold affect, both victimizing and turning away those who his message and example were meant for. There in lies the wickedness behind the confusion of taking someone’s culture. As WE all know, the truth eventually comes out, therefore in that mindset we will make our case for Jesus Christ.

Jesus had an earthly father (Joseph), mother (Mary), and he had brothers and sisters. (James, Joses, Simon, Judas) Mary only had Jesus as a child so we can get a picture of the family and extended family structure that existed at that time. It is similar to today in many ways, but today we call our siblings “step” or “half” brothers and sisters. His generation had plans for termination set forth against them too by the powers of the time (Ancient Roman Empire). Jesus spent a lot of his early days because of that threat with his family “down south” in Egypt. He was a workingman by profession, which called for one to be very strong and skilled. The neighborhood he came from was Nazareth, which would be considered the ghettos ghetto, and even in the “Israel” of that time, was considered a tough place to be from.

Even though he was born and raised in similar conditions as a lot of us today, he did not fall victim to the traps that we have fallen into under those circumstances. He did the contrary and showed us by example that it was possible to live a thorough life and be a good person in a bad place. And by doing so, he took away human kinds excuse of falling short of our potential. There has been a lot of debate about who he was, how he died or if he rose from the dead, but there is no debate about whether he was a thorough individual or any debate about whether he sinned or not. So as a man that has walked the earth, who else can claim that?

Most importantly, he gave us the Universal Wisdom of “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. He also showed us how to organize on a grassroots level for change. Today, Jesus would be considered “militant/extremist”, and if there were equivalent pictures of him and his comrades today, they would probably look pretty ominous, when painted in a certain light. It was enough to get him executed. He was looked on as a rebel for challenging the corrupt power structure, not only of our nation, but also of the world. He showed us that we could form a society without any "Masters" over us. That’s the freedom that he spoke about in his messages, and that’s what ultimately got him executed. The prophetic reasons why he was executed will be covered in later parts.

There are no pictures or video or audio recordings of Jesus. There was no Internet, television, planes, satellites, or anything else to get the message out during that time. If there were those capabilities it would still be like someone from Freetown Sierra Leone having a voice over the Western power structure. (He did it!)) His voice and most importantly actions influenced the fall of that mighty empire and have lasted far beyond it. So how can this black man who was tried, convicted, and executed for blasphemy (wicked liar), in a rundown Roman outpost (Israel) have so much influence on humanity for all of this time? Every great man since has shown some kind of trait that Jesus commanded us to display. We cannot be him but the point is to try to be like him in our own God given way. If there were any man on earth that is more worthy then Jesus Christ to follow from the aspect of a Human that ever walked the earth, please let it be known?

THIS IS NOT JESUS! This is what a Jew (Judah) in Israel would've looked like at the time of Jesus Christ, who was himself a Jew(Judah).
