Speaker 1: a moment. Just keep in mind that when we speak
1:50
Speaker 1: of our speaks, we're speaking of ancestral sacred traditions. We're

2:05

Speaker 1: on Facebook, and I really encourage persons to take some time,
2:31
Speaker 1: take some moments, take moments of reflection that allow for

2:40
Speaker 1: build a new legacy, ways in which we reflect and
2:44
Speaker 1: commemorate the important affairs that are of concern in the
2:51
Speaker 1: wider region. The Korean civilization is definitely moving in the
2:58
Speaker 1: direction of enlightenment, of transformation. There's been conversations on transforming

3:13

14:09
Speaker 5: So let's just when.
14:10
Speaker 2: You started talking earlier, when you started again, the voice
14:13
Speaker 2: went again.
14:14
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's keep it going until it doesn't. Let
14:17
Speaker 1: us here. I really would like to extend my thanks
14:20
Speaker 1: to our viewers and listeners who are joining in a
14:23
Speaker 1: conversation around affairs that are impacting our Caribbean spaces and
14:28
Speaker 1: that are impacting our humanity. And with that being shared,
14:33
Speaker 1: I would like to welcome nan A Fofier of the
14:36
Speaker 1: Sankofia community. And as I expressed earlier, for those that
14:40
Speaker 1: didn't hear it, there's a lot that comes with the
14:43
Speaker 1: Sankofia community. So greetings, not a Fofia, please share with
14:47
Speaker 1: us a bit about yourself and about the community, and
14:50
Speaker 1: then we can go into our conversation.
14:53
Speaker 2: Greetings and gratitude, my sister. There is just so much
14:56
Speaker 2: going on now, and yes, it's it's a time for talk.
15:00
Speaker 2: It's a time for conversations. It's a time to decide
15:03
Speaker 2: how we're going to go and how we're going to come.
15:06
Speaker 2: So Sanko Fier is a spiritual organization, and I should
15:10
Speaker 2: say Saint Andrew the Passion said Andrew Jamaica. We are
15:15
Speaker 2: trying to relearn who we are with the hope that
15:20
Speaker 2: we can walk into that reality. We have been shaped
15:24
Speaker 2: and formed in so many different ways and molded so
15:27
Speaker 2: differently to how we really ought to have been molded.
15:34
Speaker 2: We have walked away from our ancestral ways, or ancestral
15:37
Speaker 2: knowledge or ancestral practices. We've walked away from what is
15:43
Speaker 2: prudent and the capacity to see when to go and
15:50
Speaker 2: how to go. We have walked away from so much,
15:54
Speaker 2: and now we are kind of reaping the concert quences
16:00
Speaker 2: of many decisions that we made, and many decisions that
16:03
Speaker 2: we did not make, but you know, made by others
16:08
Speaker 2: for us as humanity, decisions that we have made used
16:12
Speaker 2: just now humanity. So at Sankofe, we are seeking to
16:16
Speaker 2: relearn ourselves. We are seeking to relearn our ancestral ways.
16:20
Speaker 2: We're seeking to see how we can become and how
16:25
Speaker 2: we can transcend even the becomings. We're trying to see
16:28
Speaker 2: how we can reclaim ancestry, heritage, we can see how
16:33
Speaker 2: we're trying to see how we can surpass the legacy
16:38
Speaker 2: that we have here today and to recreate that into
16:43
Speaker 2: a legacy that we can leave that will serve our
16:46
Speaker 2: generations to come. So we are trying. There's so much
16:50
Speaker 2: we don't know, but there is so much we're getting
16:52
Speaker 2: to know. And we, yes, we honor our not knowing,
16:57
Speaker 2: but we're honoring also our knowing, our walking into some
17:01
Speaker 2: understandings of spirit, spirituality and how this served those who
17:07
Speaker 2: walked ahead of us, who were you know, really the
17:09
Speaker 2: sages and the scientists and everything of yesterday. Nothing we
17:14
Speaker 2: do today started today, And that is such a phenomenal
17:19
Speaker 2: understanding because it gives us the opportunity to go back
17:23
Speaker 2: to look to see how we can rebalance now for
17:27
Speaker 2: a better future, you know, a future that transcends so
17:31
Speaker 2: much of what the past was, a future that kind
17:33
Speaker 2: of puts us back on a trajectory in terms of
17:36
Speaker 2: where we were heading as a people and where we
17:39
Speaker 2: were taking you know, meanings and understandings of existence and
17:44
Speaker 2: means and understandings of humanity into a future that you know,
17:49
Speaker 2: we want to see from spirit world. We want to
17:53
Speaker 2: see our descendants, our sentence, as I often say, thriving,
17:58
Speaker 2: not just surviving, but thriving. I look at present time,
18:04
Speaker 2: what's happening in our global community? And when I say community,
18:10
Speaker 2: I'm using many the definition of community from our African
18:15
Speaker 2: spiritual systems, and so I talk about a global community,
18:20
Speaker 2: and that global community is a space where we actually
18:23
Speaker 2: owe something to each other and where reciprocity is the
18:30
Speaker 2: name of the game. In some you know, we're coming
18:33
Speaker 2: and going and we're giving and taking and thriving together.
18:38
Speaker 2: And our giving and taking has to do with mending, building,
18:42
Speaker 2: healing communities from traumas from past hurts, from present situations,
18:49
Speaker 2: and seeing how we can move that to a better
18:53
Speaker 2: space where we can actually start seeing the impacts of
18:59
Speaker 2: what we call community. I've always said the black man
19:01
Speaker 2: is strongest when he exists in his collective, you know,
19:06
Speaker 2: not as a unit, but as a some of many units.
19:12
Speaker 2: And that's when we get very strong.
19:14
Speaker 1: You know.
19:15
Speaker 2: We talk about the Nances web and all of that
19:19
Speaker 2: intertwined to give you something that can hold an animal strongly.
19:24
Speaker 2: And if we think of ourselves as you know, the
19:27
Speaker 2: intricate aspects of the web, and we weave all of
19:31
Speaker 2: that together as a community, as a collective, then there's
19:35
Speaker 2: no limit to the strength the support as a limit
19:38
Speaker 2: to what we can do and how we can recreate
19:41
Speaker 2: and co create the reality that of the world we want. So, yeah,
19:49
Speaker 2: those are some of my dreams and aspirations and saying
19:51
Speaker 2: who I am you So I'm a I'm a child
19:55
Speaker 2: of the ancestors of this land, that Culturemaico, I will say,
19:59
Speaker 2: and I really my interest in seeing how we can
20:02
Speaker 2: move together and accommodate, how we can move into community
20:10
Speaker 2: through accommodation, through compassion, through deeper understandings of divinity, and
20:19
Speaker 2: how we are juxtaposed with all of these different aspects
20:23
Speaker 2: and elements of life.
20:25
Speaker 1: Right, And I'm grateful that you are able to still
20:29
Speaker 1: hear me. Yes, yes, very good, very good, very good,
20:34
Speaker 1: because a lot of what you're sharing, and I'm very
20:36
Speaker 1: grateful for you placing your individual soul, self spirit work
20:44
Speaker 1: in the body of the society, the community of scope
20:49
Speaker 1: and the connection that that has was a wider ancestral
20:54
Speaker 1: sacred African space, and how that relates to what's happening
20:59
Speaker 1: in our Caribbean space, and how there are cistern and
21:02
Speaker 1: brethren who are using ancestral sacred traditions after African sacred traditions,
21:11
Speaker 1: to be more forward acting, forward thinking and definitely using
21:20
Speaker 1: our respectful alliance, our respectful veneration for our ancestors in
21:29
Speaker 1: the work they we're doing. So, whether it's to look
21:31
Speaker 1: at what's happening in Sudan that has shifted from outright
21:36
Speaker 1: terrorism more to now natural disasters causing the lives of
21:42
Speaker 1: the lives of thousands of people, whether it's in the
21:46
Speaker 1: Congo where for the quest courage, the quest for resources,
21:52
Speaker 1: and the quest for the raping, the continuous raping of
21:57
Speaker 1: Central Africa, and that entire region, people, land, minerals, wealth,
22:04
Speaker 1: and much more, and how that's being handled or mishandled,
22:08
Speaker 1: I should say the same thing in regard to what
22:11
Speaker 1: is happening, you know, persons reflect on what is happening
22:15
Speaker 1: in Palestine where the world is witnessing genocidal terrorism at
22:19
Speaker 1: its highest in the twenty first century in that space,
22:24
Speaker 1: and that even the humanitarian efforts to support and help
22:29
Speaker 1: the persons there has been thwarted or interfered with or
22:33
Speaker 1: blocked in a very inhumane, unjust, outright demonic, diabolical form.
22:39
Speaker 1: And then to bring it in this region in regard
22:43
Speaker 1: to the possibility of outright warfare, in regards to the
22:49
Speaker 1: quest appearing as it's starting from a space of going
22:55
Speaker 1: after drug traffickers and stopping drug trafficking and drug cartels
23:01
Speaker 1: and Venezuela, when in actuality, some of the most fierce
23:06
Speaker 1: engaging drug cartels, traffickers and supporters of that industry are
23:12
Speaker 1: not are nowhere near Venezuela, right, But because of the oil,
23:17
Speaker 1: the resource, of the destabilization of the Venezuelan sovereign republic, right,
23:25
Speaker 1: there's a lot. So I really was hoping that as
23:30
Speaker 1: we're reasoning and we're speaking of spirit and we're speaking
23:34
Speaker 1: of maintaining our Caribbean spaces. Mind you, we have errors
23:39
Speaker 1: and issues happening here. And yes we've got our own
23:43
Speaker 1: internal warfare happening in many respects. In crime has been
23:47
Speaker 1: an issue. But the intention is to keep the Caribbean
23:51
Speaker 1: as a zone of peace, not bringing in warships, submarines
23:57
Speaker 1: and air war machinery and troops into this region under
24:03
Speaker 1: the guise of something else, when in actuality it appears
24:07
Speaker 1: it's not just a drug cardsils, drug trafficking piece that's
24:10
Speaker 1: being sought after. That's the facade in the front, but
24:14
Speaker 1: it's to go after mineral wealth to be stabilize this.
24:19
Speaker 2: And you know, we chose our conversations relative to what
24:24
Speaker 2: is going on in the space. But supposing we were
24:27
Speaker 2: not in a period of war as is happening now,
24:31
Speaker 2: supposing you know, there was actually more peace now than war.
24:36
Speaker 2: Right now there's perhaps more war than peace, or coming
24:40
Speaker 2: very close to that. You know, the balance certainly has shifted.
24:45
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll ever get to a place where
24:46
Speaker 2: there's one hundred percent piece or a place where there's
24:49
Speaker 2: a hundred percent war, because one defines the other so
24:53
Speaker 2: there is the coexistence of what we call peace and war.
24:58
Speaker 2: One of the things that I shifted is the nature
25:00
Speaker 2: of what we call peace and war today. It was
25:02
Speaker 2: nothing like like you know, when we were growing up,
25:06
Speaker 2: if you heard there was there was some going on here,
25:08
Speaker 2: then the nature of it has definitely changed. I mean,
25:11
Speaker 2: when did it become okay for children's lives to be
25:16
Speaker 2: part of your navigation in a war situation? When did
25:19
Speaker 2: that become okay? When that when did that even become possible?
25:22
Speaker 2: When did that even become something that somebody would think
25:24
Speaker 2: to do or beginning begin to think, begin to consider,
25:29
Speaker 2: to think that that could happen, that a war could
25:32
Speaker 2: involve well, children's lives. That is certainly new for me
25:37
Speaker 2: in terms of I mean that that really just hit
25:39
Speaker 2: my psychic in a way that you know, I'm wondering
25:43
Speaker 2: if I'm actually mentally damaged in somewhere or psychically damaged
25:46
Speaker 2: in somewhere, because that hits so hard. And you ask
25:50
Speaker 2: the question, if we talk about humanity, these children now,
25:54
Speaker 2: who are five years old or even say ten years old,
25:59
Speaker 2: when they get to be twenty and thirty, what would
26:03
Speaker 2: they have known? And therefore we say we live what
26:06
Speaker 2: we learn and learn what we live. You know, you're
26:09
Speaker 2: doing the two. So what will their world when they
26:13
Speaker 2: create the reality of a world, what will that look like?
26:17
Speaker 2: Because this is what they know now, this is what
26:18
Speaker 2: they're feeding on. You know, you're birstfeeding on the rum
26:23
Speaker 2: as it is right now, even though the babe on
26:26
Speaker 2: the breast. So what kind of humanity are we talking
26:31
Speaker 2: about a few years from now, not long from now?
26:35
Speaker 2: What will humanity be looking like? What will be doing
26:38
Speaker 2: as human beings? Even and it becomes a very almost
26:44
Speaker 2: like personal consideration for me because at the start of
26:47
Speaker 2: this year twenty twenty five, that was one of the
26:50
Speaker 2: things we were asked to consider by you know, by spirit.
26:54
Speaker 2: What does it mean to be human? And that's a
26:57
Speaker 2: human being? How do you consider that you should be
27:02
Speaker 2: part of any kind of organization, whether it's a government
27:06
Speaker 2: or any other kind of organization that will really reduce
27:13
Speaker 2: life to you know, it's okay. So, so supposing these
27:17
Speaker 2: people are just drug traffickers. Supposing they're not, you just
27:21
Speaker 2: go out and kill them anyway? Is it okay? Supposing
27:24
Speaker 2: there were in fact drug traffickers, is it okay to
27:27
Speaker 2: just go to m bomb and take lives. Suppose you
27:30
Speaker 2: see the person trafficking the drug? Is that? How we
27:35
Speaker 2: do We have to remember that all of us don't
27:38
Speaker 2: have a hell to send people to. It's not all
27:41
Speaker 2: of us in my seritual system. We don't have a hell,
27:44
Speaker 2: so we can't condemn somebody to any kind of a
27:47
Speaker 2: health We have to think about rehabilitation. We have to
27:52
Speaker 2: think about repurposing ourselves as human beings in more useful ways.
27:59
Speaker 2: Somebody do something, you don't get up and kill them,
28:01
Speaker 2: or you just get them and condemn them to some
28:03
Speaker 2: sort of reverb both kinds of situations. We have to
28:06
Speaker 2: talk about. This is a community member, this is a
28:09
Speaker 2: member of the global community. How do we maintain community?
28:12
Speaker 2: What's our first interest or first service? I am confused,
28:16
Speaker 2: I will tell you, and I am I am. I
28:18
Speaker 2: am existing with It's almost a threat of sanity because
28:23
Speaker 2: I get a wondering, why am I sitting here when
28:26
Speaker 2: there's all of this other stuff going on in my community?
28:29
Speaker 2: Because I am part of this global community. Why am
28:32
Speaker 2: I not there walking the streets saying no, this cannot be.
28:35
Speaker 2: Why am I not there holding some of those children?
28:38
Speaker 2: Why am I not there? How do we sit down
28:41
Speaker 2: every day, and we eat food and digest it. Our stomachs.
28:45
Speaker 2: Don't get you into turmoil knowing that all that this
28:50
Speaker 2: is happening there, what do we do? What do we do?
28:56
Speaker 2: This is our Caribbean waters, and let me tell you,
28:59
Speaker 2: these are powerful waters because these waters don't divide us
29:02
Speaker 2: as a Caribbean people. These waters keep us together. They
29:06
Speaker 2: join us together. Some people look at waters as they're like, no,
29:11
Speaker 2: these waters are joining us together as one Caribbean people.
29:16
Speaker 2: And somebody would want to come in close to our waters. Okay,
29:21
Speaker 2: so you're in international waters. But wherever you are, it
29:23
Speaker 2: gives you the right to take people's life, no matter
29:26
Speaker 2: how wrong or right that pep person is. How did
29:29
Speaker 2: we get here where we just thought it was just
29:31
Speaker 2: so okay to take somebody like oh yes, you know,
29:34
Speaker 2: well they're all dead. Really, where did that even come from?
29:39
Speaker 2: What were the decisions we made that led us know
29:43
Speaker 2: to have these kinds of consequences when in our own psyche,
29:47
Speaker 2: we are not flinching, We're not wincing at the thought
29:51
Speaker 2: and hearing people say these things. We are not curling
29:54
Speaker 2: up and dying inside because we can eat and to
29:57
Speaker 2: bed and sleep.
30:01
Speaker 1: That's a good point though, it's and that's when you're
30:05
Speaker 1: saying it like that, you're making all of us reflect
30:08
Speaker 1: on that humanity that we speak about. When you have
30:13
Speaker 1: leaders that are encouraging the support of acts of violence
30:20
Speaker 1: very blatantly, when you have leaders that think that it's
30:24
Speaker 1: okay to show the bombing of a of a community,
30:30
Speaker 1: of village, of space, of a vessel in the sea
30:36
Speaker 1: to encourage the importance of having warfare against entities that
30:41
Speaker 1: may not even be the entities that you should be
30:43
Speaker 1: encouraging this type of engagement with. You know, how do
30:47
Speaker 1: you actually bring truth as power? And we're encouraging persons
30:52
Speaker 1: that are listening and viewing as we finally got you know,
30:55
Speaker 1: our Speaks broadcast on Place Here with the Crew podcast
31:00
Speaker 1: on these first and third Thursdays at eight pm. You know,
31:04
Speaker 1: if you have questions or you have comments on this
31:07
Speaker 1: broadcast that's happening live now, you know, share them. You Know,
31:10
Speaker 1: when we say hotel, we're saying peace. You know, we're
31:13
Speaker 1: coming in peace, We're coming in tranquility. And at the
31:16
Speaker 1: same time, we have to be very clear, very honest
31:19
Speaker 1: with one another that what is taking place is they're
31:24
Speaker 1: shamming humanity to think just like how persons were very
31:28
Speaker 1: comfortable and remain very comfortable saying that it is okay, yes,
31:33
Speaker 1: for genocide to happen in certain parts of the world.
31:38
Speaker 1: And mind you, it's okay to have leaders that are
31:42
Speaker 1: convicted of felony charges determining the actions against humanity. That is,
31:49
Speaker 1: this is just inhumane that are being able to be
31:55
Speaker 1: forced to tolerate acts of war, acts of terror, acts
32:00
Speaker 1: of genocide. But then on the other side of their mouth,
32:03
Speaker 1: the other side of their face, because this is not
32:06
Speaker 1: fork tongue. This is like multitalent. You know, this is
32:09
Speaker 1: like the Predator, you know in Predator that film. Those
32:12
Speaker 1: that know what I'm speaking of, It wasn't like a
32:14
Speaker 1: fort tongue that came out the entire job space opened
32:19
Speaker 1: up and went into multiple directions. You know, this is inhumane,
32:24
Speaker 1: and this is the time where our silence is no
32:28
Speaker 1: longer useful. It's one thing to be silent and let
32:34
Speaker 1: time be longer than twine. But right now our silence
32:39
Speaker 1: must cease. There has to be actions. There has to
32:43
Speaker 1: be a quest of not just negotiations, but the type
32:47
Speaker 1: of negotiations that are they are imperative. This is not
32:53
Speaker 1: this is a matter of life or the urgency of
32:57
Speaker 1: minimizing war US in this region is imperative. The organizations,
33:03
Speaker 1: whether persons are comfortable with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States,
33:08
Speaker 1: the Organization of American States, the Caribbean Pan African Network,
33:12
Speaker 1: the Eastern Caribbean, the Eastern excuse me, the Eastern Caribbean Organizations,
33:19
Speaker 1: CARA comm and all of these other entities, whether it
33:22
Speaker 1: is the Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago. We're
33:26
Speaker 1: hearing from the various Caribbean peace movements in the region.
33:33
Speaker 1: No one desires to see warships coming into Caribbean spaces
33:40
Speaker 1: as well as international spaces under the guise of there
33:45
Speaker 1: has to be another solution besides bombing or of making
33:50
Speaker 1: it appear and creating the fear mongering of bombing and
33:54
Speaker 1: dropping ships in the sea.
34:00
Speaker 2: Yes, one of the things we don't think about. You know,
34:06
Speaker 2: I go simply gold basic have a very simple mind.
34:09
Speaker 2: I think things like this, As I just said, we
34:13
Speaker 2: are in the Caribbean. The Caribbean waters join us together.
34:16
Speaker 2: When we start allowing certain kinds of vessels coming to
34:20
Speaker 2: we are going to the stage where now we're gonna
34:22
Speaker 2: see us being divided. That's not the intention of the waters.
34:25
Speaker 2: We are to be joined together. We are to be
34:28
Speaker 2: joined together. So anything that comes in and divides us
34:32
Speaker 2: is going to cause disruption. We're gonna start going against
34:35
Speaker 2: each other rather than working together. All of this CACM
34:38
Speaker 2: thing is gonna fall apart because cara com was intended
34:41
Speaker 2: to be a togetherness. We start allowing things to come
34:44
Speaker 2: in and divide us is we will not survive that.
34:48
Speaker 2: We will not be in our area of strength. We
34:51
Speaker 2: will not be working as a collective for the benefit
34:54
Speaker 2: of all, will become individual like like crabs in a bag.
34:59
Speaker 2: One is everybody pulling down, pulling down so nobody can
35:02
Speaker 2: get out. We won't be making decisions for the collective good.
35:07
Speaker 2: And we are not understanding these basic basic principles. We're
35:12
Speaker 2: not understanding this. You don't allow something from outside to
35:16
Speaker 2: come in to divide you like that. Or waters have
35:20
Speaker 2: connected us. The water is more powerful than all of
35:23
Speaker 2: those forces. While we are allowing these people to come
35:28
Speaker 2: in now to divide us. We have been so powerfully connected.
35:32
Speaker 2: How does that work? We talked to you, You mentioned
35:34
Speaker 2: just now about you know, governments, organizations, leaders, leaders, what
35:39
Speaker 2: the word you use, and whether these leaders are governments
35:42
Speaker 2: or organizations. You know, we just had had elections in Jamaica,
35:47
Speaker 2: and this morning we woke up and you know, the
35:49
Speaker 2: same government is in power. And as you know, people
35:52
Speaker 2: are calling, calling, and I said to them, the number
35:55
Speaker 2: of people. You know, I am not so worried about this.
35:58
Speaker 2: What I'm worried about is that we are not realizing
36:04
Speaker 2: that the only power that these leaders can use is
36:07
Speaker 2: the power we give them.
36:10
Speaker 1: Say that one one more time. That's the one that
36:12
Speaker 1: people need to hear. Please say that one one more time. Please.
36:15
Speaker 2: We are the only the people are the only party
36:18
Speaker 2: in power. The people, the citizens, the communities. We are
36:25
Speaker 2: the party in power. The other people, the people we
36:29
Speaker 2: put up there as leaders. They're agents. They cannot use
36:34
Speaker 2: what we do. We don't give them to use. They
36:36
Speaker 2: cannot do what we don't want to do them to do.
36:38
Speaker 2: We I had to go put my finger that that
36:41
Speaker 2: dipping my finger into I had to do something for
36:44
Speaker 2: that person to sit there and talk. Who do they
36:47
Speaker 2: think they are? But who do we think we are?
36:50
Speaker 2: Because we obviousten, I'm not thinking that we are the
36:53
Speaker 2: ones whosh your guide and direct these people. They're all
36:58
Speaker 2: agents we have giving them agency. That's taking our finger
37:01
Speaker 2: somewhere and say you stay out and you stay in,
37:05
Speaker 2: because whether they go in or they go out, we
37:07
Speaker 2: decide that by one finger going into some ink. Do
37:13
Speaker 2: we understand the power of that? Do we understand that
37:16
Speaker 2: that is the power and we are the ones who
37:18
Speaker 2: have it? And those are issues. It doesn't really matter
37:23
Speaker 2: which party is in power, because the power is ours.
37:28
Speaker 2: They're in our power, So how they we think they're
37:32
Speaker 2: it don't matter which one they're supposed to be doing
37:34
Speaker 2: our bidding right. And I think everybody call it manifesto.
37:40
Speaker 2: Where's the manifest You have a paid manifest or jailp
37:43
Speaker 2: manifest or whatever the parties are. Where's the Jamaican manifesto?
37:46
Speaker 2: Where's the Jamaican manifesto? Where's a plan that says ten
37:50
Speaker 2: years for them, fifteen years, then fifty years. Then this
37:53
Speaker 2: is where Jamaica will be. We'll have this number of schools,
37:55
Speaker 2: We'll have ninety percent of our children leaving school able
37:59
Speaker 2: to read. We'll have business and whichever party goes in
38:02
Speaker 2: power in that place, that's the plan. And if you
38:07
Speaker 2: are not executing that plan and executing it, well you're
38:10
Speaker 2: gonna find yourself sitting on the curb next selection or before.
38:15
Speaker 2: What are we thinking? Since not about the leaders? What
38:19
Speaker 2: about us, each and every one of us? What are
38:23
Speaker 2: we doing? What are we allowing? Do we realize we
38:30
Speaker 2: are the ones who have the power. You know, I
38:35
Speaker 2: don't quarrel about Trump. Trump has been given a mandate.
38:41
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that? M And he's up there doing
38:45
Speaker 2: what he's allowed to do.
38:48
Speaker 1: M h.
38:50
Speaker 2: He is up there doing what he's allowed to do
38:55
Speaker 2: his own community plus the global community, and nobody is
38:59
Speaker 2: saying no, listen.
39:00
Speaker 4: No, this is not how it works.
39:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
39:06
Speaker 1: I think that people are not telling the ultimate truth,
39:12
Speaker 1: that this is a time when we are to you know,
39:18
Speaker 1: in the in the political diplomatic space, it's you know, negotiation,
39:25
Speaker 1: having professional reason reasonings and making sure Because one thing
39:31
Speaker 1: that I was very grateful to read and see in
39:35
Speaker 1: various social media, you know, various vetted journalists journalists reports
39:43
Speaker 1: was the fact that at leads through care Com, I
39:46
Speaker 1: have not seen the formal official communicate from care Comm
39:51
Speaker 1: Secretariat on these matzos. However, respective members, Ministers of Foreign Affairs,
39:58
Speaker 1: as well as representatives of various ministerial leadership posts in
40:05
Speaker 1: Cara com specifically, you know, Barbados as well as others
40:10
Speaker 1: have made it clear that their concern is to ensure
40:14
Speaker 1: that whatever this interaction is, this intervention is from the
40:19
Speaker 1: US specifically geared and directed towards Venezuela and its destabilization
40:25
Speaker 1: in the in the name of protecting the region from
40:29
Speaker 1: drug trafficking and cartels, et cetera, which we know is
40:33
Speaker 1: not accurate.
40:35
Speaker 2: Even if it were. Who was giving you the authority
40:37
Speaker 2: to come to protect my country from drug traffic on?
40:40
Speaker 4: Hello for you.
40:44
Speaker 2: So in that authority to come to protect my country.
40:50
Speaker 1: When you feel that you are, because the other part
40:54
Speaker 1: that's happening is that America and its infinite wisdom back
41:00
Speaker 1: in the early twentieth century, they made sure because this
41:06
Speaker 1: was always the intention, to maintain that imperialist capitalists authority
41:14
Speaker 1: in the region. They made sure that they kept colonies,
41:18
Speaker 1: whether they call them nice terms like nonincorporated, non self
41:21
Speaker 1: governing territories, whether they call them commonwealths or whatever. And
41:26
Speaker 1: they created military presence on men. So whether it's Guam, Samoa,
41:34
Speaker 1: Pico or the Virgin Islands, they made sure that they
41:39
Speaker 1: had present or even in Cuba to Mike from Young
41:46
Speaker 1: I US. I'm just saying from young I used to
41:51
Speaker 1: ask that question, how can you have an embargo on
41:53
Speaker 1: a country that you don't allow this, that, and the
41:56
Speaker 1: other to come to that country? You controlling or thinking
42:00
Speaker 1: you can control the activities in that country and their
42:02
Speaker 1: relationship with people are surrounding them in that independent, sovereign country.
42:08
Speaker 1: But then you have the audacity and nerve and boldness
42:12
Speaker 1: and obviously permission to be able to keep a base,
42:15
Speaker 1: a military base there where you're saying that even the
42:18
Speaker 1: people in that country of Cuba cannot go to that
42:22
Speaker 1: area in that base and you have it fenced out.
42:25
Speaker 2: That's correct, But as I tell you, I keep think simple,
42:28
Speaker 2: I keep think simple. Tell me how you can have
42:31
Speaker 2: a game in your country that you're the only one
42:33
Speaker 2: playing the game and you call it World Cup or
42:35
Speaker 2: World something that one and what does your psyche? I mean,
42:39
Speaker 2: what kind of psyche is that?
42:40
Speaker 1: It's a psyche that in.
42:43
Speaker 2: Participating and it's a World something, world game or a
42:46
Speaker 2: World Cup.
42:47
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's a psyche that creates terrorism and tolerance
42:55
Speaker 1: for genocideal fascism. I want persons to hear, because we're
43:00
Speaker 1: talking about that you can that only your military matters.
43:04
Speaker 1: Only your position and perspective matters, So whether or not
43:08
Speaker 1: it creates instability amongst people that are forced into a
43:13
Speaker 1: space of fear, into a space of not even accepting
43:18
Speaker 1: their own sovereign rules of engagement, that they will turn
43:24
Speaker 1: on their own. When I started to see this connection
43:29
Speaker 1: of going into Venezuela and then recently seeing the camaraderie
43:33
Speaker 1: and solidarity that exists with certain Cara Com countries that
43:38
Speaker 1: are sovereign republics, as well as their relationships with Venezuela,
43:43
Speaker 1: Colombia and Cuba, in particular, watching the Venezuelan flag and
43:50
Speaker 1: the Cuban flag alongside one another in certain spaces, showing
43:57
Speaker 1: their solidarity. Because what is happening is that some of
44:00
Speaker 1: these so called world powers are using a facade of
44:05
Speaker 1: drug trafficking and drug cartels and other ills that they know.
44:11
Speaker 1: None of us want to see people exposed to drug trafficking,
44:15
Speaker 1: in any form of drug trafficking.
44:18
Speaker 2: No, no, one of us also want to say a
44:19
Speaker 2: lot of people dead, that one, that one taking life,
44:24
Speaker 2: that one did we give life that one. You can't
44:28
Speaker 2: restore life if it's gone, and you can rehabilit rehabilitate
44:31
Speaker 2: the drug people or put them you know where they belong.
44:35
Speaker 2: But once you take a life, that's it. We're gonna
44:37
Speaker 2: day so sorry when you discovered that nothing was going on.
44:40
Speaker 2: Sorry okay, oh, I'm so sorry.
44:44
Speaker 1: And the impact this has on children, and I want
44:47
Speaker 1: to highlight that because you said something very very well.
44:51
Speaker 1: All of what you said is very poignant and on
44:53
Speaker 1: point and eloquent in giving us, as you say, simple
44:57
Speaker 1: and I like to say, be giving us the brass,
45:00
Speaker 1: given us the truth, keeping things in truth, justice, order, reciprocity, balanced, divine, righteousystem, harmony.
45:06
Speaker 1: The children that are experiencing these forms of terrorism and
45:11
Speaker 1: genocidal chaos right now are going to grow up. They're
45:18
Speaker 1: not baling them.
45:20
Speaker 2: They're not knowing nothing else about.
45:22
Speaker 1: This, and so what they know, what they're going to
45:26
Speaker 1: bring to the earthplane ten years, twenty years, thirty years
45:32
Speaker 1: or more from now is going to be some of
45:34
Speaker 1: the same issues.
45:37
Speaker 2: And you know, if it was the same, it is
45:39
Speaker 2: so bad. But they're going to be perfecting ways of
45:41
Speaker 2: killing people because nothing stays the same. This legacy that
45:45
Speaker 2: that have, no they're going to improve on it and
45:48
Speaker 2: leave that for the next generation. They're going to fan
45:50
Speaker 2: of figure out out to kill children more efficiently. Yeah,
45:54
Speaker 2: I mean rather than bombing maternity wards. They will find
45:57
Speaker 2: ways to yeah, to do that. I mean, they're going
46:01
Speaker 2: to be improving on all of this because nothing stays
46:03
Speaker 2: the same. And that's the part we're not lamenting that,
46:08
Speaker 2: we're not seeing that. No, we're not saying that this
46:11
Speaker 2: has to stop. No, you know what, we've already lost.
46:15
Speaker 2: We've probably lost the next the next three generations of
46:19
Speaker 2: the of those people you know, right, right, right.
46:25
Speaker 1: And that's what's really challenging at this time because even
46:29
Speaker 1: in the conversations you know, we've been having, there's a
46:31
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of engagements. Perfect example, while this
46:36
Speaker 1: is going on and it's affecting African people in the
46:40
Speaker 1: Caribbean civilization spaces, there is a there is a directive
46:46
Speaker 1: coming from cara Com member states and their leaders regarding
46:51
Speaker 1: that before the US is to do anything in this region,
46:56
Speaker 1: they have to confer with the Caribbean region and their leaders.
47:03
Speaker 1: Even if you have one leader over Saw saying kill
47:06
Speaker 1: them violently, even if you have another leader over Sau
47:09
Speaker 1: saying we support that. You know, the troops need to
47:13
Speaker 1: come into the region and we're going to support them
47:16
Speaker 1: because it's going to help our economy. When I heard
47:20
Speaker 1: an entity in the Caribbean put that in print, in newspaper,
47:31
Speaker 1: social media platforms and make it seem like it was
47:34
Speaker 1: some type of humor driven we're going to benefit from
47:39
Speaker 1: the presence of troops in the region. They're going to
47:43
Speaker 1: spend their money here, They're going to And I said,
47:47
Speaker 1: I don't think persons understand the nature of war in
47:51
Speaker 1: this region. The last time that happened, it was not
47:56
Speaker 1: with a very good outcome Grenada point, it did not
48:02
Speaker 1: look favorable for the people of Grenado to this day,
48:07
Speaker 1: to this day, and persons need to and remember that
48:10
Speaker 1: was the other piece that they were what was it
48:12
Speaker 1: they were communists or they were Marxists, whether they were
48:15
Speaker 1: or not, and they came with it. They're going to
48:18
Speaker 1: destabilize the region, and some of our own ignorantly accepted
48:25
Speaker 1: that coming from a world power that is about dominion
48:30
Speaker 1: and about military right, even if it's not right. Just yeah,
48:35
Speaker 1: So like today, there was a number there's been a
48:38
Speaker 1: number of throughout the region, a number of solidarity rallies,
48:45
Speaker 1: activities in support of restoring some semblance of peace and order.
48:52
Speaker 1: You can't strip off people's economy, mash up their ability
48:57
Speaker 1: to deal with trade and economic growth. And then when
49:01
Speaker 1: their life situation is so challenging and people are having
49:07
Speaker 1: difficulty with food and survivability as it has been imposed
49:12
Speaker 1: in the people of Cuba, imposed on the people of
49:16
Speaker 1: Venezuela and other parts of the region of the Caribbean Americas,
49:20
Speaker 1: and then you want to just come and bring I'm
49:23
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying this submarines, the Navy, the marines, the
49:30
Speaker 1: air force, and the army into the region. What happened, Well,
49:37
Speaker 1: where's all this humanitarian, peaceful negotiation that happens. And how
49:42
Speaker 1: come they're not doing that in Europe? How come they're
49:45
Speaker 1: not doing that amongst the entities that are dismantling the
49:48
Speaker 1: very core. That's what I'm trying to get to. I'm
49:51
Speaker 1: trying to.
49:53
Speaker 2: The last time we had a mass movement of people
49:58
Speaker 2: coming into the region, when the Spaniards came, and then
50:05
Speaker 2: when the British came after we had these I call
50:08
Speaker 2: them mass movements. We had these groups of people moving
50:10
Speaker 2: into our areas. We haven't learned from what happened. Then
50:15
Speaker 2: four hundred, four hundred years of slavery ensued, and we
50:18
Speaker 2: haven't learned from that, we're still thinking it's quite all
50:20
Speaker 2: right for people to come into our space. The last
50:25
Speaker 2: time a body of people from somewhere came here, moved in,
50:33
Speaker 2: eventually took over. What happened to the people who inhabited
50:37
Speaker 2: the space and also the ones they brought in to
50:44
Speaker 2: serve their purposes. We are not learning well we something is,
50:51
Speaker 2: something is very strange.
50:53
Speaker 1: Something.
50:53
Speaker 2: We're not connecting some dots. We're not connecting some dots
50:58
Speaker 2: at all. We're not we not learning from the past.
51:02
Speaker 2: We always say we learn from our past and we
51:04
Speaker 2: learn from our mistakes. We're not learning from our past,
51:07
Speaker 2: and so we're making mistakes no, that are not really
51:13
Speaker 2: justified because we should have learned some lessons. When we
51:17
Speaker 2: start letting people in our space who pretend to be
51:20
Speaker 2: coming with some sort of authority that we didn't give them.
51:24
Speaker 2: What happens. It didn't serve us well before, Why do
51:29
Speaker 2: we think it will serve us well now? And why
51:35
Speaker 2: do we think we will serve it will serve us
51:37
Speaker 2: well now?
51:38
Speaker 1: And See, I don't feel that the people, the grassroots
51:42
Speaker 1: people accept believe, or know or even support that. It's
51:48
Speaker 1: just that the people with the selective authority and power
51:53
Speaker 1: that's given to them by the people.
51:55
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. So that people need to take back that power.
51:59
Speaker 1: And that'saly and not probably that is that. That's what
52:02
Speaker 1: we're saying because I'm gonna share power. Yeah, I'm going
52:05
Speaker 1: to share what like, because this situation with the Prime
52:09
Speaker 1: Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and I you know, I'm
52:11
Speaker 1: not not it's public knowledge, you know, when you let
52:16
Speaker 1: your emotion brain when you were in those types of positions.
52:22
Speaker 1: And again, I've never been a prime minister, so maybe
52:24
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing if I was vexed too. However,
52:29
Speaker 1: in my mindset, I know that it would it would
52:32
Speaker 1: have been with specifics. I would never just blatantly say
52:38
Speaker 1: kill all of them violently because that gives an impress
52:42
Speaker 1: and again in the mind of young people and not
52:46
Speaker 1: so young people that come across and just kill them,
52:49
Speaker 1: all of them. So that sounded like some of the
52:54
Speaker 1: chaos that came off of the US Congressional floor where
52:58
Speaker 1: persons were saying kill them in reference to the Palestinians
53:02
Speaker 1: and occupied Israel.
53:05
Speaker 2: So what we're doing is we're actually even denying the
53:08
Speaker 2: kind of justice systems that were found It necessary to
53:10
Speaker 2: put in place. But you know you're not. You're in
53:12
Speaker 2: a center of proven guilty. So you go go there
53:14
Speaker 2: and kill it. Where's the due process? Where's the due process?
53:19
Speaker 2: It's okay to just go kill people. You don't have
53:21
Speaker 2: to prove that they're in the center or guilty anymore, right, right.
53:24
Speaker 1: Because that's what I thought. I thought that whatever they
53:26
Speaker 1: were going to show, I thought they're gonna show the boat,
53:29
Speaker 1: and I mean, and people were saying, you know, it
53:30
Speaker 1: was AI created. Whatever was created, the message that was given,
53:34
Speaker 1: whether it was AI created, real or not not good
53:38
Speaker 1: was not a pleasant thing because it gave the impression
53:41
Speaker 1: that if you in the midst of the water, because
53:45
Speaker 1: it didn't even look like these were people that was
53:47
Speaker 1: like running from anything, at least showed it that you
53:50
Speaker 1: was chasing them and they didn't stole them or something.
53:53
Speaker 2: Don't just show the boat.
53:55
Speaker 1: Rush into the water and then you're gonna drop a
53:58
Speaker 1: missile on them and I actually just blow up, blow
54:01
Speaker 1: up completely.
54:03
Speaker 4: But even if that was.
54:06
Speaker 2: Even if that was a I generated, clearly the comments
54:10
Speaker 2: and conversations coming out of some particular houses correct, But
54:15
Speaker 2: we know what color they are. We're not the air
54:18
Speaker 2: I generated.
54:19
Speaker 1: Correct and see. So this goes to what one of
54:22
Speaker 1: my colleagues, a very well respected lawyer, you know, legal
54:29
Speaker 1: mind revolutionary originally from Saint Kitts Naves, you know, living
54:35
Speaker 1: in the Virgin Islands of the US, you know, and
54:38
Speaker 1: has contributed around this particular area of our consciousness, of
54:43
Speaker 1: our knowledge system, of our awareness. And one of the
54:46
Speaker 1: things that he highlighted was that and I want to
54:49
Speaker 1: quote what he said, you know, Tourny Cardinal Mills. I
54:54
Speaker 1: find it quite nauseating when I have to confront the
54:58
Speaker 1: reality the but in the twenty first century, the white
55:03
Speaker 1: supremacy regime commands such allegiance among those chosen for leadership
55:10
Speaker 1: in the Caribbean, Africa and the Americas. For example, the
55:15
Speaker 1: sentiments of the Trinidadian PM imagine those who follow unquote
55:20
Speaker 1: not my words, you know, this is what's coming from
55:24
Speaker 1: persons that have definitely a lot more skill, talented expertise
55:28
Speaker 1: on the legality elements of what's taking place here.
55:32
Speaker 2: Yes, we also have to look at Mexico is and
55:36
Speaker 2: how you know that country is aligning itself. I mean
55:40
Speaker 2: that that is an interesting country because if you look
55:43
Speaker 2: at how you know, some people are feared in that country.
55:49
Speaker 2: People don't even know. Some people don't even know that
55:53
Speaker 2: there's a whole big population of black people in Mexico,
55:57
Speaker 2: right right, And so when you think about that, how
56:01
Speaker 2: does Mexico position itself In some certain ways, I'm not
56:05
Speaker 2: aligned with causes that affect and I'm saying now black
56:10
Speaker 2: people in negative ways. I mean, I don't have a
56:19
Speaker 2: problem with each country aligning with whoever they want to
56:22
Speaker 2: align with for their individual good. But I have a
56:28
Speaker 2: problem when they don't see their individual good as what
56:32
Speaker 2: is as serving the collective good. I don't when the
56:38
Speaker 2: part of the responsibility is not to make sure that
56:41
Speaker 2: in what I'm doing for my country, I'm also positioned
56:44
Speaker 2: myself as one of the communities in this global space.
56:47
Speaker 2: So when I position myself, I'm also positioning helping to
56:51
Speaker 2: position others so that altogether we can all be well.
56:55
Speaker 2: We can all exist in a state of harmony, a
56:58
Speaker 2: state of peace, as much as peace, as much piece
57:01
Speaker 2: as we can have. But how do we position ourselves
57:06
Speaker 2: juxtaposed with each other so that we can have that
57:09
Speaker 2: kind of liberty where people don't have to be walking
57:12
Speaker 2: with fair where children are not being killed and exposed
57:14
Speaker 2: to this level of violence where we are not redefining
57:19
Speaker 2: what it means to be human, because even if you
57:21
Speaker 2: look at the emotions of these children, if you look
57:23
Speaker 2: at what constitutes their psyche after this, it won't be
57:27
Speaker 2: anything like human beings have been. I don't know that
57:30
Speaker 2: might be a good thing, probably need to be wiped out,
57:32
Speaker 2: I redesigned. I reimagine that. But it's a rough process, right,
57:37
Speaker 2: that's process by which to do it right.
57:40
Speaker 1: Well, I would say that it's a process that is
57:44
Speaker 1: in the making to reorganize how we move forward in
57:49
Speaker 1: these times. I just won't like to compliment because I
57:52
Speaker 1: know that our time is getting close. Because we did
57:56
Speaker 1: get a chance, we did start a little late. We
57:58
Speaker 1: had some technicians wanted to just highlight that, and I
58:02
Speaker 1: like using quotations so persons don't think this is like
58:06
Speaker 1: my personal I want to support Venezuela because I just
58:09
Speaker 1: want to support Venezuela. But I like for us to
58:12
Speaker 1: deal with truth and balance. And I'm not saying yes
58:14
Speaker 1: exactly in Venezuela does not have other sides. We need
58:19
Speaker 1: to be clear on what the people need in Venezuela.
58:24
Speaker 1: Make sure that this effort of going after quote unquote
58:27
Speaker 1: A war on drugs sounds very similar when they said
58:31
Speaker 1: they were weapons of mass destruction and Iran in Ereq
58:35
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, there was nothing there.
58:37
Speaker 1: But by that time they had blown up the countries. Right,
58:40
Speaker 1: So I avoid that in the region, maybe because we
58:44
Speaker 1: live here, but definitely because definitely, because you know, life
58:49
Speaker 1: is very important to those of us that promote life.
58:52
Speaker 1: But I want to highlight that there were a number
58:54
Speaker 1: of articles in the Internationalists three sixty as recent as
58:58
Speaker 1: yesterday a whole hoax, and I want you, I want
59:02
Speaker 1: to share this content. Former UN Anti Drugs Agency Director
59:07
Speaker 1: Penal Archalachi dismantles the Venezuela quote unquote narco state narrative
59:14
Speaker 1: with thirty years, not one or five thirty reliable data quote.
59:20
Speaker 1: During my time as head of the United Nations Office
59:23
Speaker 1: on Drugs and Crime UNODC, I frequently traveled to Colombia, Bolivia, Peru,
59:30
Speaker 1: and Brazil, but never to Venezuela. There was simply no need.
59:34
Speaker 1: The Venezuelan government's collaboration in the fight against drug trafficking
59:38
Speaker 1: as exactly a best in South America, ribled only by
59:43
Speaker 1: Cuba's impeccable record. This makes Trump's narrative of a narco
59:48
Speaker 1: state in Venezuela sound like geopolitically yahated slander. The twenty
59:54
Speaker 1: twenty five World Drug Report tells a story that is
59:57
Speaker 1: the opposite of the narrative settled by the Trump administration.
1:00:02
Speaker 1: Peace by peace, the report dismantles the geopolitical lie built
1:00:06
Speaker 1: around the Cartel de los Solis, an entity as mythical
1:00:11
Speaker 1: as the larchiness monster, but which is useful for justifying sanctions, blockades,
1:00:18
Speaker 1: and threats of military intervention against a country which incidentally
1:00:23
Speaker 1: sits on one of the planet's largest oral reserves. I
1:00:28
Speaker 1: go seek here so that when we have these verses
1:00:32
Speaker 1: and people want to speak of Venezuela need to be
1:00:35
Speaker 1: blown up or whatever and kill all of them, and
1:00:37
Speaker 1: that kind of foolishness. You need to do your research.
1:00:42
Speaker 1: Don't just listen to one side or the situations. Yes, okay,
1:00:46
Speaker 1: make sure the thing is.
1:00:47
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of that. As human beings, we have to
1:00:50
Speaker 2: draw some lines somewhere. When does it ever become right
1:00:53
Speaker 2: to kill children? When does it ever become right to
1:01:00
Speaker 2: pregnant women? And the slave plantations they used to dig
1:01:04
Speaker 2: holes so they could put the woman to light. Down
1:01:07
Speaker 2: and put her belly in the hole to whip her.
1:01:10
Speaker 2: And we thought that was bad. Now they're just killing
1:01:12
Speaker 2: the pregnant women, all right. Did we ever give ourselves
1:01:16
Speaker 2: to say that that was okay? My position? You know,
1:01:20
Speaker 2: I said, whenever we start killing children pregnant women, everybody
1:01:23
Speaker 2: is wrong. Nobody can tell me that they have a
1:01:25
Speaker 2: case and that they're in the right. When you start
1:01:28
Speaker 2: killing children, you start killing pregnant everybody is wrong. Even
1:01:33
Speaker 2: I am wrong. How do I sit down and let
1:01:35
Speaker 2: that happen? Everybody is wrong when children, when children are
1:01:42
Speaker 2: putting those kinds of positions, everybody is wrong.
1:01:47
Speaker 1: So with that, my sister and I know that I
1:01:49
Speaker 1: want to thank you for making time to join us
1:01:53
Speaker 1: this evening. We know that we kill the treasure, going
1:01:57
Speaker 1: over and over and going longer. We are grateful that
1:02:01
Speaker 1: we are asking for persons to pray for peace and action.
1:02:06
Speaker 1: Make your actionable, deliverable restoring peace. The Caribbean, with all
1:02:12
Speaker 1: of its issues, has always been regarded as a zone
1:02:17
Speaker 1: of peace and moving in that direction of a zone
1:02:19
Speaker 1: of peace, of not bringing warfare in this region. So
1:02:24
Speaker 1: do what you can. Speak to your leaders, whether you
1:02:27
Speaker 1: elected them, selected them, or appointed them or even didn't
1:02:30
Speaker 1: want them there. Encourage them to find not just negotiation,
1:02:36
Speaker 1: but quote unquote diplomatic means to minimize killing children, killing women,
1:02:44
Speaker 1: killing men, killing, destroying, dismantling families. It's one thing to
1:02:49
Speaker 1: do with deportation, especially deportation, deporting people to countries they
1:02:53
Speaker 1: don't even come from and have no connection to, because
1:02:56
Speaker 1: you're trying to create your own greatness, which is not
1:03:01
Speaker 1: so great, right, but at least let us restore humanity.
1:03:07
Speaker 1: Let us restore our shared humanity to the best of
1:03:11
Speaker 1: our ability. And I want to thank you and I
1:03:14
Speaker 1: with my pleasure to.
1:03:15
Speaker 2: Share with you and to be part of this conversation.
1:03:19
Speaker 2: I think we really need to be having so many
1:03:21
Speaker 2: conversations which bring action, which bring even understanding.
1:03:30
Speaker 1: I'm grateful and gay that I cannot even give words.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, my spirit sister in this life
1:03:37
Speaker 1: of any others non appropiate of the Signofia community. And
1:03:43
Speaker 1: as we always start, culture heals humanity. Land is our
1:03:48
Speaker 1: foundation and spiritual harmony unifies us. We encourage our listeners,
1:03:53
Speaker 1: those that are within airshot, honor your ancestors, call on
1:03:59
Speaker 1: them to give us guide so that the almighty would
1:04:04
Speaker 1: get us through this as we restore our zones.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: Yes, we give thanks.
1:04:19
Speaker 1: I feel them on my shoulder.
1:04:28
Speaker 3: Begging me to drop bombs like bull How's a cultural more.
1:04:43
Speaker 2: The insist that I use my gifts.
1:04:44
Speaker 3: How's the lyricister beare witness in the past, present and
1:04:46
Speaker 3: future of African greatness and always plays emphasis on the
1:04:48
Speaker 3: beauty of blackness, and never digress into the common connotation
1:04:51
Speaker 3: of my color with blackness. Tell the people the truths
1:04:55
Speaker 3: like blackness, direct them to the prove but African genesis,
1:04:59
Speaker 3: and be a port through which they cannotccess the inner
1:05:01
Speaker 3: Emperor and the inner Empress card. It's the duty of
1:05:04
Speaker 3: every man and every woman to man in presscard in flesh.
1:05:07
Speaker 3: So we honored the body crategory and the Rua kardash.
1:05:09
Speaker 3: We say he Masalama lecum job blessed calls this poem
1:05:15
Speaker 3: and the arrest for the ancestor
