“The
experience of the African, enslaved on the plantation becomes an avenue to
enslave all at the feet of economic necessity, embodied in corporate structures,
which reflect a particular capacity of state power to control, regulate and
protect such interests which maintain positions of an inverted totalitarianism.
“
I write the above statement from a primary point
of observation. This statement attained
as I live on a vast plantation that exists as a matter of economic necessity and
daily seek to gradually let go of those structures and systems of colonization
and now globalization which support the plantation through thoughtful reflection
and prayer considered modes of activism.
I no longer seek to represent the consumption necessary for a continued
integrity of a grotesque structure which dehumanizes vast populations of people
each day for some notion of material survival and profit for the few. I find that I must, at all cost, transcend this
normative state of affairs with its facilitation of abuse. Facilitation, regarding material matters of
empire, daily lead to states of abuse as the empire and the few who develop its
agenda engage in activities of destabilization for the sake of profit, this
profit constructed without regard to moral or ethical concerns or doctrines. This disregard for moral and ethical concerns
or doctrine is experienced as corporations continue to transform the earth and
her offspring, in the midst of global warming, an ever increasing poverty,
hunger and disease into manifestations of profit margins.
Wall Street and its corporations considered as agents
of the state for the construction of culture, i.e. diverse forms of style, language
and media, which queer the traditional stereotypes through various modes of consumption,
cause a type of sleep, an orientation towards unconsciousness and grounded in a
desire for capital. The implications of
this type of construction are a perverted humanity that exists in a state of
illusion unable to break free of an inverted totalitarian regime.[1] In light of the aforementioned inverted
totalitarian regime “freedom of speech” has become a means for the media to
facilitate these illusions no matter the identity, theology or politics. So then, control of the population is maintained
through a daily consumption of illusions most notably during the holiday season,
endorsed by the Church, beginning with the Thanksgiving Day Macy’s parade. That said illusion facilitates an evolved
state of abuse which necessarily shapes personal as well as communal desires which
are constructed for economic necessity.
This brand of empirical strategy, first adopted in
the context of the enslaved African, and Willie Lynch, and now enslaving all
people regardless of identification continues to evolve as the illusions
sequester any vision of freedom beyond economic necessity. Don’t get it twisted; the enslaved African
was just the beginning.
My West African ancestors would have a lot to say
about this enslavement. I suggest that
they might say, “Awaken from your consumption induced sleep. Awaken from the illusion and know freedom and
in essence your humanity once again. Of
course, who shall awaken you?” Most
importantly of all, “Do you want to be awakened?”
