HOW TO MAKE A SHEEP DOG

“The lives of animals are parables of our lives.”- African Proverb

Dr. 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.

*Their Food, Water, Language, Religions, Medical Services, Education, Land, Resources, Cosmetics,  Fashion Attire, and negative media propaganda about themselves, etc., are all under the auspices and control of invaders.

*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.  

Conscious Hiphop that has influenced many youth into moving to a green movement, to take on the accountability to the ecosystem of the planet and their role in the sustainability of their environment, was destroyed and undermined my music producers.

Rick Ross became Infamous for making millions of dollars at a young age,

He reveals the influences that transformed him, and the ties to urban drug distribution
and the US government and military.  

 

On the North-Side of Troost Ave. in Midtown East-Side Kansas City, Missouri, there is prevalent gun violence by police and gang activity in former Concentrated African American neighborhoods. Kansas City's solution was to blight the housing, and build a new state-of-the-art police and forensic lab complex. This gateway to hell, was then named after an Afrikan American Police officer, Leon Jordan.

On the South-side of Troost ave. stands a Nuclear Weapons manufacturing facility, that was found to be releasing toxic Beryllium. Kansas City's solution was to shut down the complex, and build a newer complex, one within the newer African American concentrated residential areas of South Kansas City.

Troost Avenue is the redline for the economic elite Caucasians on the west side that attracts the Country Club Plaza and the Nelson Atkins Museum, and the east side which produces subsidized and substandard housing and a prevalent School-to-Prison Pipeline. South of Troost is the nuclear weapons plant, to represent the military industrial complex, while north of Troost represented the fodder of Indigo lives that are targeted for the prison industrial complex.

This is why the major caucasian community, doesn't want Afrikan Centered education... In the 50s and 60s, Desegregated schools became kill- the- Indigenous- Afrikan- Autonomous- people and their Black Wallstreets -but save their children to tie them back to menial labor and destroy their own economic growth to advance into professional and upward bound economic access for themselves... Our gifted and talented were moved away from public schools, to get their education in a racist onslaught, then hired to support the status quo of white supremacy instead of their own people #HowToMakeSheepDogs

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.html





Living 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!"

Common And Powerful Healing Plants You Can Find In Your Back Garden

So many of us oppose Big Pharma, GMOs, and pesticides being sprayed on our food. Then the poisoning of our air, water, soil and Ecosystem of plant life should be vitally important. We can’t stand the pollution in our system, but we know we might not live without it if we got sick or severely injured. This is why preventative maintenance,  Raising our immune systems, and discovering the long-lost art of plant medicine is so important. In search of alternatives, we have to rediscover what our ancestors knew so well: that pretty much every tree, bush, flower and herb we see around us can be used to heal various illnesses. These medicines still grow all around us to this day, on every continent on the planet, and learning how to use them is our birthright. 

The growing interest in herbalism is a positive step in the right direction for humanity, after so many decades and years depending on an empire of consumerism. It’s amazing to realize just how many common plants you can use for a wide variety of diseases, from eczema and depression to flu and gallstones.

The following plants and herbs should ideally be gathered fresh from the countryside or garden, although they can be dried and stored for when needed. The best time to pick them is in the early morning (after dew has evaporated) in spring or summer. Leaves should be gathered while young, and their stalks trimmed off. Flowers should also be picked when young and freshly open, before they are visited by bees and other insects. Seeds should be left on the plant to ripen before being taken (a sign that seeds are ripe is the yellowing of leaves). Roots and barks should be gathered in early Spring or Fall. Don’t pick anything that is wilted, eaten by insects, faded, old or mottled. Finally (although not easy nowadays) you must bear in mind any man-made toxins on the plants. If you can gather them from a place that is sure to be pesticide-free, do it there.

Deciding which remedies to include, I chose those which are easy to find wherever you are. If you can’t find a specific plant where you live, consider buying the seeds online or check out your local health food or Chinese medicine shop for powders, ointments or oils. A note on measurements: the exact amount isn’t quite as important in plant medicine as it is in toxic pharmaceutical drugs, so ‘traditional’ ways of describing measurements (spoonfuls, cupfuls, handfuls etc) are sufficient in herbalism. Nature is gentle, so just use your common sense (and the internet if you have any doubts). 

PLANTAIN

Plantain, like dandelion, is a healthy, hardy weed as ubiquitous in the city as broken glass. You know what it looks like, but you might not have known the name.

Part of the confusion is that plantain shares its name with something utterly different, the banana-like plantain, whose etymology is a mix of Spanish and native Caribbean. The so-called weed plantain, or Plantago major, was cultivated by Native Americans. There is also the Plantain that European settlers pre-Columbus brought to the Americas.

Plantain has a nutritional profile similar to dandelion — that is, loaded with iron and other important vitamins and minerals. The leaves are tastiest when small and tender, usually in the spring but whenever new shoots appear after being cut back by a lawnmower. Bigger leaves are edible but bitter and fibrous.

The shoots of the broadleaf plantain, when green and tender and no longer than about four inches, can be described as a poor-man's fiddlehead, with a nutty, asparagus-like taste. Pan-fry in olive oil for just a few seconds to bring out this taste. The longer, browner shoots are also tasty prepared the same way, but the inner stem is too fibrous. You'll need to place the shoot in your mouth, clench with your teeth, and quickly pull out the stem. What you're eating are the plantain seeds.

The leaves of the equally ubiquitous narrow-leaf plantain, or Plantago lanceolata, also are edible when young. The shoot is "edible" only with quotation marks. You can eat the seeds should you have the patience to collect hundreds of plants for the handful of seeds you'd harvest. With time being money, it's likely not worth it.

Burdock

(Arctium Lappa/Arctium Minus. England, Europe, some parts of northern USA)

Usually thought to be little more than a persistent weed, Burdock is revered in herbal medicine. This spiky purple plant protects against cancer and detoxifies the body. The root, herb and seeds can be used (usually as an infusion) to aid digestion and settle the stomach, and it is a great blood purifier. The root specifically heals scurvy, boils and rheumatism. Bruises, swellings and ulcers can also be cured with burdock poultices, as well as eczema, acne, scoriosis, and other dry or flaky skin problems. This amazing plant is also an effective treatment for gout, diabetes, cystitis, loss of appetite, and when used along with dandelion root it gives the liver an extra boost.

 Dandelion

(Taraxacum officinale. Temperate parts of Northern hemisphere)

Another plant that most presume to be just another annoying weed, dandelions are full of healing properties, from roots to flowers. Their leaves and stems are filled with a creamy white juice, which acts as a magic medicine for a whole range of problems. Dandelion cleanses the blood by neutralizing the acids and is an excellent diuretic and kidney tonic. It is a powerful remedy for all kinds of liver disorders (especially jaundice), and the root has been known to cure gallstones, gout, rheumatism and dyspepsia. To aid these illnesses, you need to roast the roots (best collected at the end of the year) in the oven at a low temperature for several hours (until you can smell a nice aroma). You then crush them into a powder to drink with hot water, known as ‘Dandelion coffee’. Real coffee can be added to taste. Dandelion is also an effective treatment for bee stings, warts and blisters (simply apply juice until healed), and can even be taken to fight diabetes and obesity. Just six leaves eaten raw daily will make a huge difference, or an infusion if you prefer.

DANDELION

Dandelion is one of the healthiest and most versatile vegetables on the planet. The entire plant is edible. The leaves are like vitamin pills, containing generous amounts of vitamins A, C and K — far more than those garden tomatoes, in fact — along with calcium, iron, manganese, and potassium.

The leaves are most tender, and tastiest, when they are young. This happens in the spring but also all summer along as the plant tries to rebound after being cut or pulled. You can add them to soup in great abundance. Or you can prepare them Italian style by sautéing with a little olive oil, salt, garlic and some hot red pepper.

You can eat the bright, open flower heads in a lightly fried batter. You can also make a simple wine with the flowers by fermenting them with raisins and yeast. If you are slightly adventurous, you can roast the dandelion root, grind it, and brew it like coffee. It's an acquired taste. You might want to have some sugar on hand.

Dandelion Greens

The yellow-topped flower is happily shunned and sprayed, but did you know it is one of the most healing herbs for the liver and kidneys? Dandelion (the flower and greens) is a diuretic, contains potassium, alleviates arthritis and intestinal disorders, and is even thought to regulate blood sugar levels. Used topically, it also has use to treat skin disorders such as Eczema.

Elder

(Sambucus Nigra. Europe, Britain, some parts of Northern America)

Elder is a hedgerow shrub that is sacred to many, and has such a potent healing properties it’s been known to cure blindness (by repairing nerve damage, for example during a bomb blast). Every part of the bush can be used for many purposes, from bark to roots. Elder encourages perspiration and eliminates toxins, The root can be washed and soaked to treat all lymphatic ailments. The bark is a strong purgative and can be made into a tincture (more information here) to relieve asthma and croup. For epilepsy, elder bark can be dried and powdered (remove from the inner side, powdered and drunk with wine either daily to reduce fits, or every quarter hour when a fit is imminent). The leaves are full of medicinal properties and can be made into green elder ointment to treat bruises, sprains, itches, ringworm, haemorrhoids, and skin conditions. They can be used as an infusion. Elderflowers can be distilled or dried, the water used to treat eye problems. As an infusion, elderflowers are a gentle laxative. The tea can also be used to treat coughs, colds and flu, and it purifies the blood. Making a poultice from the flowers is an effective treatment for wounds, scalds and burns, and also cures chapped skin and chilblains. Elder has a reputation for being a fantastic aid to beautiful and healthy skin and hair.

Golden Seal

(Hydrastis Canadensis. Eastern USA, Canada)

This bitter herb increases circulation to the uterus and has been used for centuries to ease labor pains and heavy periods (but don’t use for prolonged periods if you are pregnant, and avoid if you have diabetes, glaucoma or heart disease). Golden Seal acts as an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory to also treat indigestion, constipation and help to regulate periods. It stops colds and sore throats if taken when the first signs appear, and it can cure bronchitis, sore sinuses and respiratory conditions. An all-round wonder ‘drug’, Golden Seal can be taken dried and powdered, as a tincture or an infusion, to strengthen the immune and digestive systems for a whole range of ailments. Native Americans used it as a dye for their clothing, and as a remedy for bad digestion and sore eyes. The root of Golden Seal eases constipation, sickness and vomiting.

 

Fennel

(Foeniculum vulgare. India, Middle East and Europe)

Fennel water is used as an ingredient in common tonics to settle babies’ stomachs and relieve colic. The leaves, hearts, roots and seeds are all beneficial, used as distilled water or an essential oil, made from crushed leaves. Fennel is an anti-depressant and also boosts the flow of milk in breastfeeding mothers. It can aid a wide range of ailments: arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, wind, anxiety and melancholy, cellulite, nausea, indigestion, cramps, urinary tract infections, gum disease, and detoxification of the body. Fennel is believed to give long life when taken regularly (fennel tea bags are easy to find).

Lil' Bobby Hutton Strong Black Brother Sun

In 1968, two days after Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered, Little (Lil’) Bobby Hutton was shot and killed while in the custody of the Oakland police. He was shot more than ten times.

Lil’ Bobby Hutton became one of the first members of the Black Panther Party, after writing and finalizing the Ten Point Program. In fact Bobby Hutton was a part time afterschool assistant at the North Oakland Neighborhood Service Center, for the Department of Human Resources for the City Government of Oakland, California. Hired as a youth assistant, he studied the introduction of the Autobiography of Malcolm X to improve his reading skills.

Lil’ Bobby Hutton was 1 of 30 Panthers who traveled to the California state capitol in Sacramento, on May 2, 1967, to demonstrate against the Mulford Act, a bill that would prohibit carrying loaded firearms in public. The group walked into the state assembly armed, as a protest to the Mulford Act. Lil’ Bobby Hutton Hutton, Bobby Seale and several of the Panthers were then arrested.

Lil’ Bobby Hutton was the first Black Panther Party member murdered (while in the custody of the Oakland police). During the inquest on Lil’ Bobby Hutton, one police person surprised the inquest by testifying that the other cops had literally "murdered Bobby Hutton" after Lil’ Bobby Hutton had surrendered. Lil’ Bobby Hutton walked out with his hands up and in between several policemen. One cop used his foot to shoved Bobby Hutton in the back saying "run nigger." Lil’ Bobby Hutton, put his hands up, stumbled forward a few steps and some five policemen all open fire, shooting and murdering Lil’ Bobby Hutton. Lil’ Bobby Hutton's death at the hands of the Oakland police was yet another example of police brutality committed against the Oakland community and the Black Panther Party.

Hutton's funeral was held on April 12 at the Ephesians Church of God in Berkeley, California. About 1,500 people attended the funeral. A rally held afterwards in West Oakland was attended by over 2,000 people.

DeFremery Park in West Oakland, California was unofficially named after Lil’ Bobby Hutton not long after his death. "Lil' Bobby Hutton Day" has been held annually at the park since April 1998. Organized by family members and former and former Black Panther Party members, the memorial event features speakers, performers, and art works commemorating Hutton's dedication to the party.

Yes, we need to remember and honor Panthers like Lil’ Bobby Hutton , who lost there lives working for the Black Panther Party, one of the first organizations in U.S. history to militantly struggle for ethnic minority and working class emancipation - a party whose political electoral agenda was the revolutionary establishment of real economic, social, and political equality across gender and color lines. We also need continue to work that the original Black Panther Party began. We must continue build and maintain strong, vibrant progressive movements through local, state and national progressive political representation & activism which will continue the work for greater people empowerment
