HOW TO MAKE A SHEEP DOG
“The lives of animals are parables of our lives.”- African ProverbDr. Asa Hilliard on Mind Training:
“Recently, I saw a television program on training sheepdogs. It made a great
impression on me, so much so that I have used the story as an example in several
speeches. It makes many points that are important for the education of our
children.
In most places where people raise sheep, a special type of dog with a special
type of training is used to watch a flock of sheep. If one of the sheep wanders
the sheepdog will bring it back. This dog will protect the sheep flock from all
other animals, including other dogs. When the sheepdog is with its master,
it is usually described as loyal, gentle, and intelligent. But the most striking
part of the description to me is that the things that are said about the sheepdog’s
behavior are all from the point of view of the master and involve the master’s
needs. The dog’s own needs are not really considered, other than to determine
how those needs may be used by the master to make the dog do what the master
wishes.
How does this happen? How does a dog come to lose interest in its own
independent direction or in the direction which, as a member of a ‘dog family,’
is expected to keep? The program on television showed how it is done. At birth,
the puppy is separated almost at once from all the other dogs — from its brothers
and sisters, from its family. It is then placed into a pen where there are
nothing but sheep, including the young lambs who are nursing. In its normal
drive to satisfy its hunger, it seeks out a ewe and tries to nurse from her,
along with the other lambs. When it is successful, it continues, and is then
raised with sheep as a lamb until it is sufficiently developed to be trained.
Notice here that it continues to look like a dog as well. It will leave the
track of a dog and will have the speed and strength of a dog. Yet, while it
has the intelligence of a dog, it will develop the mind of a sheep! Once that
happens, it no longer acts like, or in the interest of itself as a dog, or in
the interest of other dogs. Notice also that this dog has mastered the ‘basic
skills,’ from its master’s point of view. It would also have passed very high
on the ‘D.A.T.,’ or ‘Dog Aptitude Test.’ Moreover, it will see its own brothers
and sisters as ‘the enemy’ since this dog does not know them as brothers and
sisters.
Let’s take a moment to review what this story teaches us.
For the dog’s master to work his will with the dog, he established a training,
not an educational process that had certain key features in it:
1. The dog was separated from its family and group at an early age.
2. It was continually isolated from them during its learning years.
3. It was placed into a sheep’s (alien) environment.
4. It was fed a sheep’s (alien) diet.
5. It was given a ‘special education.’
6. It was totally dependent upon the master and never allowed to hunt for itself.
7. All the decisions about its training were made outside of the family and without its consultation.
Now we can begin to see what must have happened to the dog so that it would
dedicate its life to the service of others while seeing its own family as the
enemy. Because of separation, it lost its people’s collective memory or history.
Without memory or history, neither the present nor the future can be interpreted.
This is the first step toward developing dependency. The dog becomes totally
dependent upon the knowledge and interpretations of others. Because of isolation
from its ‘people,’ it can not learn the normal survival rules and agenda for dogs.
It can not learn from the experiences of other dogs nor test its sense of reality
with theirs. It even loses opportunity learn dog ‘language’ so that it can ‘ask
questions’ later on.
Because it grows up in a sheep’s environment, it begins to live in a world of
illusions, seeing itself as a sheep. Because it is nurtured on an alien diet, it
comes to crave that diet and to depend upon those who could provide it, since it
can not produce the diet for itself. Because of its ‘special education,’ it
accepts training and confused it with education (critical awareness). Because
it is dependent, it can never challenge the master or ‘bite the hand that feeds
it.’ Because none of the decisions about its training or education can be made
by its parents, family, or community, and because it can only agree or disagree
with what is provided, it becomes a living, breathing, highly skilled, and quite
intelligent, robot. But to all outward appearances, few would ever know.”

The Maroon Within Us
This is how our youth are conditioned to be Child Soldiers for the US. They are engineered for self destruction.
*Our youth are Child Soldiers and prisoners of an ongoing cold war, who are systematically seasoned to become free labor, to be drugged, raped, sexually confused, rendered as chemical eunuchs, human trafficked, experimented upon, Psychologically traumatized and verbally debased, beaten, terrorized, and other exploitation.
*Many of our children have been orphaned by mass incarceration and HIV of their parents, to be isolated into social engineering sites, known as Foster Care and orphanages.
*Our Children, Women, Men and Elders are isolated, polarized, and vulnerable.
*Our own Self Help systems and Extended Families have broken down, to be replaced with Government sponsored case management and police.
*Our Youth are systemically corralled from daycares- to public schools, into a school-to prison pipeline. The number of beds in penal institutions are gauged by 3rd grade illiteracy.
*Our gifted and talented are assimilated into another system of oppression for the elite, where the money they make, goes right back into an alien economy, while the remainder of our youth are classified as bottom savage laborers, "Super Predators," for the underground economy.
*Our Children Despise us, as we are powerless to effect a better way of life for them.
*Our Children's parents are conditioned to tell their children to "get out of the ghetto" and find a "good Job"(plantation) to serve in," instead or encouraging them to remain and re-engineer their neighborhoods into their own real economic communities.
*Our youth think our elders have failed them and left them for “def-in da Hood", -in the aftermath of the civil rights movement and the rise of Do-For-Self-Help organizations across the US, like the Black Panthers, MOVE and SNCC were disintegrated, with the Cold War of cointelpro, HIV, and the invasion of Cocaine to Crack, with the guns to protect the interests of a Federally funded and locally policed, underground economy infiltration. The convict lease program, neo-enslavement of the school- to Prison/ Military Industrial Complex pipeline, and Prisons Privately owned by Private Corporatokrazy Contractors and investors, has orphaned and destroyed our youth.
The role models of our youth are no longer their Parents, Teachers, Pastors, Legal representatives or Political leaders. These support system role models have been tarnished by taking on the normalized model of the underground economy, with hypocrisy, and corruption of their status. Street Gangs easily lure our youth like the story of Pinocchio, with a simulation of family and belonging. Our youth are given "free" food and clothing, the promise of a life of luxury, being a star, travel, and companionship, which are illusions, in exchange for a few hours of labor in the streets. ("We know nothing is really free".) "Gangster Rap" and drugs were paid for by Private Corporations to provide a funding stream for Arms and Ammunition. These corporations invested in the Prison Industrial Complex, as well as the Military Industrial complex, to become the lure of the Pied Piper for targeted Indigo youth, to lead to the path of the underground of normalized criminal activity.
Gangster Rap became that pathway map for all youth around the planet to emulate. Yet, NO ONE in the urban environments across the US, grows Coca Trees, or acres of poppy fields in "da hood." No one makes weapons or ammunition in "da hood." Yet, these products and services are still prevalent and available, "with the right contacts..."
The CIA has been utilizing criminal elements to subvert and undermined nations across the globe for decades. From supplying Cocaine to the streets of urban cities, to using the Mafia to destroy Community movements in Southern Europe to using Heroin Trafficking gangs to uproot Mexican revolutionaries. The CIA is forbidden to operate within the borders of the USA, so no one ties them to such activities in the US, but we know that gangs have obstructed Black liberation efforts in various ways, and that the CIA has facilitated guns and drug dumps within Black communities across the US.
Black gangs in the Black community are supplied and directed by the CIA, just like the death squads in Latin Americas, the warlords in Africa, and the terrorist cells in the Middle East.
All of these regressive and reactionary groups have the same impact, on the community scale and the national scale: they erode a people's cohesion while extracting petty and transient benefits for their followers/members.
Ultimately the Systems and Institution of Capitalism and White Domination benefit from their activities. Even through these reactionary groups often claim to be against System, they are lawless or anti-establishment on the surface but the ultimate outcome of their activities only hurt their own people, while leaving the elites untouched.
The biggest tragedy in all of this is the pathetic attempts of the Conscious Community to twist this political reality and create a narrative where gangs are a (potentially) revolutionary force within the Hood instead of a treasonous and corrosive force in our mist.
They talk that Revolutionary Gangsta. They started calling gangs “Street Organizations,” while trying to overlook the murders, Thefts and burglaries, Human Trafficking, rapes, child abuse, drug distribution, and other anti-Black community agendas by pretending that these Black traitors have no other options but to prey on their own people.
The reality is, these poor sell-outs are no different than the sell-outs of the Negro Elites we are so willing to call Coons, Uncle Toms, and New Negroes. To not hold Black criminals accountable for their actions, is another form of Elitism and Classism. To pretend that poor Black men can't stand on principles, like we seek to hold middle-class Black men and wealthy Black men is blind ignorance.
We can develop more constructive options to navigate this system without pursuing the very same counterproductive, genocidal agendas of our oppressors. You can operate outside of the dominate economic system without engaging in the hyper-exploitation of your own people.
But when you are being equipped and directed by the CIA you will only serve the interest of the White Elites.
I think one way to begin to address this issue is for conscious Blacks to stop trying to secure street cred by telling lies about the motivations and impacts of Black gangs. You can't be Revolutionary but Gangsta because Gangstas are inherently counter-Revolutionary. It's like asserting that one can be a Rapist but Pro-Woman.
Conscious Black men are literary adopting the Gangsta "swag," intimating Gangsta culture, when in the 60s thugs, pimps, and gangstas were all pretending to by Panthers or Black Nationalist. I
Black Gangstas have to abandon their mentality and practices just like we would expect an Uncle Tom to abandon their treasonous ways and ideology in order for them to be embraced by the larger community. Pretending that Gangstas can be Incorporated into the Struggle without a fundamental transformation (like Malcolm X underwent) only corrupts our Struggle and organizations.

Indigo people were dehumanized, seasoned and conditioned to be colonized servants, to an oppressive capitalistic race based system of the US. |
"One of the things that our captors had to do was erase our memory, as historical genocide and amnesia so that no one would know who we were, or where to find us; and later, where to find us in history."

Their very intent was to destroy our humanity and render us to a voiceless herded animal state, like cattle or a pet monkey. This is our Maafa trauma. We’ve had to face the debasement and slander of our cultural ways in the Americas, Europe, and Mama Afrika herself through colonialism. They used our Children. They snatched our children away from their mother's breast, separating their small and defenseless bodies from even nurturing and emotional ties. They force our children into hog pens or boarding houses and forced them to deny our languages and cultures. To only speak enough rough simple English like a trained dog, to follow orders and serve. When they grew to become parents themselves, they learned to speak to their own offspring in the same manner. Our Babies were terrorized, tortured, starved, molested and raped as little children, until they grew to despise themselves, despise all authority and their parents who were helpless to save them.
For a while, if you wanted to find yourself, you really didn’t want to be Native American, or Afrikan, because Indigoes were depicted as brutal, desperate and wild, in a barren landscape, and Africa is thought of as this place where monkeys and wild people or savages live. (look at the cartoons and songs they fed our children years ago and now.) So we didn’t want to be associated with that. In many cases, we sacrificed our culture and willingly embraced the horde of European invasion. In many instances, Indigo people thought that being Hispanic or Latin, or Catholic would actually improve our status and chances for survival. As Our children were stripped and segregated from us, our own children, under peer pressure, in childcare centers, schools and under their alien religions, bible and churches, were made to feel ashamed and forced to deny our cultures as evil in America and of Africa. We were taught to be ashamed of who we are and who our Ancestors were. This left our children vulnerable to crave our oppressors culture consumer traps. We straighten our hair, we lighten our skin, we think and speak in their language, we wear their western clothes, live in their rectangular housing constructs eat their foods and practice their religions- only to compete for, go into debt slavery for, and create strife against each other- for "Shiny Things" and materialistic consumer addiction!
So we were corralled into following the western patriarchal systems as the only systems we were permitted, and have been programmed into cults, to practice structures of colonialism themselves. Colonialism has effected people of color, globally, to become The workforce against our own people! We are the Police, Social Workers, GMO food peddlers, Scientists, Architects, Engineers, Doctors and Drug Pharmacist, Teachers, and Abrahamic Religious Missionaries in Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Apostolic, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Hebrews, Muslims, or Asiatic Blackman, Masons and Fraternities, Organizations etc. that build the empire of the United States and not our own! We have become all of these other western Aryan religions and organizations. Yet, We are not respected or free to practice our own ancient spiritual systems or beliefs, without condemnations. Terms like, “Puerto Ricans,” (which ain’t nothing but a Spanish-speaking African,) is a reflection of how we succumbed to embrace western influences, and to despise our Ancient Ancestral origins. We'll say we're “part Italian” or anything other than our true nature as Indigo Melanin People. So, as we carry these foreign names and languages, we segregated our minds from the brutality that was associated with them. This was something that made our names––our own identity––something that was hard to hold onto.
Since the Integration/Cointelpro/Mass Incarcerations of the 1960s, American Africans have been shifted to neighborhoods, where our youth are isolated from their families, in segregated schools that only teach an obsolete industrial model of education, by teachers who indoctrinate an antiquated WASP (Western Anglo Saxon Privileged) middle-class value mentality. Many students are unsupervised "latch-key" children, who walk home alone, to junk fast-foods, and microwave ovens, bombarded with colorful flickers of lights from electronic devices that produce mass media's propaganda of orchestrated subliminal messages for the purpose of creating cash cows for material consumerism. These youth receive sound and light waves from television screens filled with violent or sexual content of artificial fight or flight simulated scenarios that create Serotonin and adrenalin overload, coupled with high carbohydrates and sugar foods. After every school day, between 2:30pm and 7:00pm, our youth are exposed to the highest levels of water and air pollution, and to higher opportunities to engage in sex, drugs, guns, gang involvement and violence. Their Food, water and air is poisoned by high concentrations of toxic levels of GMOs, Artificial Preservatives, Pesticides, petroleum, carbon monoxide, Methane, lead, fluoride, chlorine. toxic housing materials, etc. This onslaught affects cognitive and neurological development and damages, reproductive, sperm count, STDs, Health degeneration, overproduction of cortisol, and adrenalin, Obesity, High blood pressure, Heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cancers,

Black neighborhoods are the dumping grounds for, halfway houses, drug offenders and released imprisoned, HIV housing, Section-8 housing, and Senior Citizen Housing. African American Neighborhood are still relined against home improvement loans, Insurance, Business start up Capital, and access to healthy foods and medical care. The only improvements in the area, are for rental property and Invader businesses. So the people who really pay property taxes for the schools and city improvements, often are slum lords who don't even live in the neighborhoods, that the students attend, with heavy handed, aggressive police patrolmen on the streets, in public schools, and slow to respond emergency services. Every main corner is bordered, by alien owners of franchises, Fast-Food Restaurants, Drug stores, Liquor stores, Dollar Stores, Convenience stores/Gas stations Filled with products and foods that are produced outside of the neighborhoods. These Businesses and Churches spill our dollars out of these neighborhoods like a slaughtered cow.
We Must take Back Our Own Youth And families!
http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2014/06/afrikan-awake-to-teach-youth.htmlLiving consciously is not only about knowing the Glory of Our-Story (history) of our Ancient Ancestors. We must breathe new life back into our Children by cultivating living creative spiritual lifestyles!
*How many of our Indigo Families practice their own languages and disabused their US surnames- outside of US religion or cult indoctrination?
*How many of our families name their infants and newly born souls, after a spiritually conscious name that aligns with their destiny?
*How many have relationship with a local Spiritual Elder, who can connect and share the Destiny, Health, Career and Relationships of your family network? How many of our own people, know any traditional Afrikan spiritual system? Many only depend on organized Indoctrinations of Religions or organizations from their oppressors, that function outside of their families for consultations and advice.
*How many conscious families Meditate, Venerate their Ancestors, display their family shrines, Chant, Pray together?
*How many practice Breathing, Martial Arts, Exercise, Massage, Listen to music together, or even, play, sing, dance, exercise, draw or paint together?
*How many families constructively come together to assess growth and development and plan for generational wealth? Economics is a family based system, our greatest economic success from our Ancestral past, would last and accumulate for thousands of years! We practiced communal, family based, gnome driven Group economics. These structures provided generational and residual wealth.
*Do you have vision boards in common to envision a place together in your future?
*How many families home-school their children?
*Do you read to or with your children? What choices of books do you share?
*How many of our families EAT and drink together? What are we feeding our youth?
*Are we growing our own foods and healing herbs, and know that the Mind Soul and Body are connected?
*How many youth are involved with a rite of passage program?
*How many youth are directly connected to a Family elder or Mentor?
*How many families homestead, or hunt, fish, or create or produce together collectively?
*How many own their own land and resources
*How many manufacture and produce their own products that they need?
*How many create cultural and industrial Arts and crafts? There are now an abundance of Alternative healing resources available for people to live prosperously.
*Do we celebrate the seasons of life- The Equinoxes and Solstices?
*Do we take nature walks and commune with the universe like Birding, Plant Identification, Stargazing, Sun watching, Moongazing visiting spiritual centers like mounds or caves?
*Do we bless our homes and new businesses with a Spiritual Elder who can cleanse and bring good spirits to your environments? We should employ and seek the counsel of our elders for accountability, in all new matters and concerns...
We must encourage our youth to return to their neighborhoods and families to rebuild their our own economies, outside or the Race supremacy system. Other cultural communities are successful because they Love and employ their own youth in a family based economic system for accountability. We have cooperative economic systems based on culture, language, foods and manufacturing/production.
"Economics is a family based system!"
