Prelude
It is wisely written by a sensitively rare type European scholar who accompanied the French Imperial Colonial Forces under the control of General Napoleon de Boneparte the following:
THERE A PEOPLE NOW FORGOTTEN DISCOVERED WHILE OTHERS WERE YET BARBARIANS, THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. A RACE OF MEN NOW REJECTED FOR THEIR BLACK SKIN AND WOOLLY HAIR, FOUNDED ON THE STUDY OF THE LAWS OF NATURE THOSE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS WHICH STILL GOVERN THE UNIVERSE.
THIS QUOTATION IS EXTRACTED FROM PAGE XVII OF Count C.F. Volney's masterpiece of the 19th Century C.C. Ruins of Empire.1 However flattering this may seem, Volney2 never one time in any of his many writings called for the withdrawal of French Imperial Forces from Africa. I guess it was this vile type of hypocrisy that caused our late sage, philosopher and African Nationalist Freedom Fighter, etc.MARCUS MOZIAH GARVEY3to caution all of us meeting here to KNOW OUR OWN ENEMIES when he wrote the following PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT4 about just what is an education!
EDUCATION
To be learned in all that is worth while knowing. Not to be crammed with the subject of the book or the philosophy of the classroom, but to store away in your head such facts as you need for the daily application of life, so that you may the better in all things understand your fellowmen, and interpret you relationship to your creator.
You can be educated in soul, vision and feeling, as well as in mind. To see your enemy and know him is a part of the complete education of men, to spiritually regulate one's self in another form of the higher education that fits man for a nobler place in life, and still, to approach your brother by the feeling of your own humanity, is an education that soften the ills of the world and makes us kind indeed.
Many a man was educated outside the schoolroom. It is something you let out, not completely take in. You are a part of it, for it is natural; it is dormant simply because you will not develop it, but God creates every man with it knowingly or unknowingly to him who possesses itthat's the difference. Develop yours and you become as great and full of knowledge as the other fellow without even entering the classroom.
Obviously the world's first multi-geniusI-EM-HOTEP/IMHOTEP,5 monotheist and non-violence advocateAKHENATEN/AMENHOTEP IV, Master engineering wizardRAMESES II,6 and so many other Nile Valley AFRICAN GREATS that introduced to the :known World" what is today "CIVILIZATION," then "HIGH-CULTURE," were known to both Count C.F. Volney and Marcus M. Garvey. Images of these three African brothers (among other African personalities) appear below.
EGYPT IN NILE YEAR 6090 7 H.C. 5000 8 / C.E. 1986 9 / A.H. 1364 10 / ETC. and the Pharaoh of the 1st Dynasty. Queen Hatshepsut: The Ablest queen of far antiquity. Thutmose: The mightiest conqueror and administrator of far antiquity. Queen Tiy: Mother of Akhenaten. Pharaoh Akhenaten: Monotheist & Prince of Peace. Pharaoh Ramses II: Master engineer and builder.

In spite of the preceding comments, it was the monstrously damaging interpretation of the BOOK OF GENESIS, Chapter IX, Verses 2025, in the Haribu's BABELONIAN TALMUD,11 by Sixth Century C.E./A.D. Eurpoean :Jewish Talmudist Scholars" who wrote the following account about "NOAH'S FAMILY AND THE GREAT DELUGE/FLOOD12 that set the stage for our enslavement; thus:
Now I cannot beget the fourth son whose children I would have ordered to serve you and your brothers! Therefore it must be Canaan, your first born, whom they enslave. And since you have disabled me doing ugly things in blackness of night, Canaan's children shall be born ugly and black! Moreover, because you twisted your head around to see my nakedness, your grandchildren's hair shall be twisted into kinks, and their eyes red; again because our lips jested at my misfortune, theirs shall swell; and because you neglected my nakedness, they shall go naked, and their male members shall be shamefully elongated! Men of this race are called Negroes, their forefather Cannan commanded them to love theft and fornication, to be banded together in hatred of their masters and never to tell the truth.13
Unfortunately, they did not live long enough to see the current cleanup version of their brand of lily white Caucasian-Semitic ANTI-AFRICAN [BLACK] RACISM and RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, an example of which follows below,14 thus:
Noah plants a vineyard, gets drunk and is mocked by his son, Ham.
Considering the evidence just presented, isn't it equally true the former quote gave all credence to the Asian-Moslem and European, English, European American-Jewish and Christian, et al., SLAVE TRADERS and PLANTATION OWNERS we note in the following MAP OF THE SLAVE TRADE FROM 640 TO 1890 C.E.? Let us review this Eurasian MONSTER with academic indifference.
This afternoon as we continue our deliberations, let us surely remember not to choose sides between our former and present "SLAVERS" in the so-called "STRUGGLE FOR THE MIDDLE-EAST15." And by so doing, let us not equally forget to RESEARCH and DOCUMENT the claims made by brother Chancellor Williams in his Destruction of Black Civilization: From 4000 B.C. to 2000 A.D.16 This we must, especially when we look at the MAPS OF AFRICA FROM INDEPENDENCE TO SLAVERY, COLONIALISM, NEO-COLONIALISM,17 and WHATEVER ELSE! But can anyone of us assembled here point out one solitary "SLAVE STATE/KINGDOM" that existed in any part of "AFRICA" before the arrival of the ASIAN SLAVERS in the east and EUROPEAN SLAVERS in the west? If so; so tell us where! If none: please publish said fact to the known world of today. I have included on below a map titled: ALKEBU-LAN/"AFRICA" ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE IN The MID-EIGHTEENTH [18th] CENTURY C.E./A.D. ARAB INVADERS ALREADY SETTLED. I hope this will add to our understanding of the enormity of the genocide committed against us by ASIANS, EUROPEAN, BRITISHERS, EUROPEAN AMERICANS, et al., in the Holy Name of GodAL'LAH, JEHOVAH, JESUS [The Christ]18, and others.19 There can be no more PROCRASTINATING by any of us on this issue, irrespective of our particular RELIGIOUS orientation.

This map demonstrates the total ignorance of Europeans and European Americans about AFRICA and AFRICANS even until the 18th Century C.E./A.D. Yet, most of the OPINIONS OF NEGATIVE VALUE ABOUT "AFRICA" AND "AFRICANS" were formulated during this period upon FALSE INFORMATION such as presented here.
The colonial picture of the European and European American imperialists and colonialists' "PARTITION" of the AFRICAN and ASIAN PEOPLES' LANDS among themselves is quite vividly shown. It was at the "BERLIN CONFERENCE" and "BRUSSELS CONFERENCE" that "AFRICA" was made the "JIG SAW ABORTION" it now appears to be. With RIVERS, MOUNTAIN RANGES, LAKES, etc. as "BOUNDARY LINES"; some even "DRAWN THROUGH HOMES"; and FAMILIES divided into one European colony or another; the AFRICANS welfare never being considered important. |

Those of us whose expertise it is to write about the SLAVE TRADE and its subsequent "COLONIAL EXPERIENCE" of our African ancestors and ourselves must judiciously RE-EXAMINE the FACTS and FIGURES " with the aide and comfort of the CHURCH, SYNAGOGUE, MOSQUE, TEMPLE, etc. "DOGOODERS" as depicted on the following page- [9] - of this "Address/Paper," a MAP OF EUROPEAN "EXPLORERS" IN AFRICA: 17971900 A.D.21 Why were they in Africa? Are we to assume they were in "AFRICA" on behalf of the "BEST INTEREST" of the African People22 as they did during the "SLAVE TRADE"! If so, why did they not report on having seen the effects of at least ONE SOLITARY AFRICAN KINGDOM that held "INDIGENOUS AFRICAN SLAVES"23 of any kind before the arrival of ASIAN, EUROPEAN, BRITISH and EUROPEAN-AMERICAN SLAVERS? Again, are we to equally assume that they would have COVERED-UP on behalf of their African victims!
The die has been casted. We are in a death struggle on the academic front. We must select a side. We can't straddle the fence much more. Our SONS and DAUGHTERS will soon take the lead of their BROTHER AND SISTER AFRICANS in the so-called "REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA."24 This time it will not be AFRICAN TRAITRORS excluded from the axe. It's are you for, or against, us?

The so-called "CIVILIZED" [Western European, British and European-American]31 "NATIONS OF The WORLD" were in the process of heaping INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM upon their helpless32 AFRICAN VICTIMS; this we see on the three maps following below. Please hear me, for we had not yet gained control of any of the GUN POWER and CANONS33 for MASS DESTRUCTION under coordination by so-called "Jewish Scholars34, Christian Missionaries,35 and Moslem Reformers36." Therefore the end result includes our own assemblage here todayONE THOUSAND AND FORTY-SIX{1,046] YEARS later.37 Yet it was not only AFRICANS!; as ASIANS, even most of whose parents had ENSLAVED our parents, were to fall VICTIMS to the same BARBARISM38 at the vile hands of the Christian, Atheist, Jewish, etc. Europeans, Britishers and European Americansall "MASTERS OF GENOCIDE" and "HOLOCAUSTS" from whom ADOLPH HITLER of Nazi Germany learnt extremely well. The following map on this page reveals the TRUTH I am speaking of. It also confirms we must never forget that out of this pit came the so-called "MASTER ORDER"39 Berlin Conference of 1884 C.E., Brussels Conference of 1886 C.E.,40 league of Nations in 1918 C.E.,"41 and now the United Nations Organization in 1945 C.E.42 All of these created for the purpose of the so-called "CIVILIZED [Western] NATIONS" maintaining their ECONOMIC DOMINATION of the equally so-called 'THIRD WORLD",43 etc. Of course Mother Africa is of the "FIRST WORLD"; make no ifs and buts about this FACT/TRUTH! The "OLDEST" is of the "FIRST WORLD"; nothing less.
Although of major importance, we must always remember that "SLAVERY" is but one very short EPISODE in our very long AFRICAN EXPERIENCE that dates back MILLIONS OF YEARS before the Judeo-Christian-Islamic "FIRST TWO PEOPLEADAM AND EVE".44 A casual reflection at the cover of this ADDRESS/PAPERlooking at "ZINJANTHROPUS BOISE" at 1.7 MILLION YEARS past, and "LUCY" [not shown here] of 3.2 MILLION YEARS,45 should add to the reason why we must proceed way beyond the confines of the boundary of the "HOLOCAUST" [plural] slavery brought to bear upon USthe entire "AFRICAN [Black] RACE" everywhere. Thus we must take stock of the dissection of Mother Alkebu-lan/"Africa" by the nations for whom we still prove our loyalty daily. Certainly, we must equally take stock of the demography of "Africa's" landmass even today as we sit here.

As we rise above setbacks of HUMAN DEGRADATION caused by Eurasian SLAVERS, the DESCENDANTS of whom now "BLAME" us for their inheritance of our ENSLAVEMENT, let us equally rise above the myth of our own CONDEMNATION as no other people have done for the benefit of their ENEMIESthe SLAVERS. As such, we must remember what the late brother Marcus Moziah Garvey told us about this in his "PHILOSOPHY ON EDUCATION." He cautioned:
TO SEE YOUR ENEMY AND KNOW HIM IS PART OF THE COMPLETE EDUCATION OF MAN.
I suggest that we return to Volume One of The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey to better understand the depth of his [almost "before his time"] leadership of Africans everywhere.
The aspect of "EDUCATION" Brother Garvey was PHILOSOPHIZING about included the statistical data I've already shown in the table refered to above in this "ADDRESS/PAPER"; all of it from the records of the Berlin and Brussels "CONFERENCE" and "ACT" of 1864 C.E. through 1986 C.E./A.D., which included the role of the United States of America [U.S.A.] through its representativesEDWIN TERREL, Berlin and HENRY CASSON, Brussels, both with the vile title "MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY and AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY"is equally documented in Volume I of the three volume work by QUEEN VICTORIA50 of Great Britain's "Official Historian"Sir EDWARD E. HERTSLETentitled "The MAP OF AFRICA BY TREATY," London, 1895 and 1902, etc.
