“I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such, I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” Malcolm X Eric Arthur Blair, who wrote under the pen name George Orwell stated, “During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” We live in a time of universal deceit, massive falsification, and lies are disseminated globally by an extremely pervasive and sophisticated electronic media the likes never seen before by humanity. Television screens and smart devices are everywhere instantaneously blasting information, disinformation, and propaganda either from a right-wing fake perspective or a disingenuous left-wing slant, both propagating global white domination, and we are caught in the middle.
In prior times we had vocal warriors, scholars, dissidents, and resisters who helped us see through the maze of disinformation and propaganda to recognize the lies and propaganda aimed at us and help us engage in a process of mental decolonization to view the world from a liberation perspective. Of course, over the years, the powers that targeted them and attempted to eliminate the threat–these courageous Sistahs and Bruthas posed to their mind control over us. Men and women like David Walker, Ida B Wells, William Monroe Trotter, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Noble Drew Ali, Elijah Muhammad and his ministers like Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, and fearless educators like Angela Davis exposed the mendacity, subterfuge, oppression, and violence of the American system. So it demonized them and, on numerous occasions, killed them.
