Indigo Veganism -Ankh Matters

Indigo Veganism All Life is Sacred

As Melanin Indigo People, the Vegetarian lifestyle, should not become another Willie Lynch polarizing fulcrum, to divide and conquer or alienate our people. It may be true that there were no ancient historical accounts of Africans or global Indigenous peoples who were culturally devout vegans or vegetarians.
Yet, I recognize, that in our contemporary society, veganism is a Kujichagulia lifestyle that many Indigo generations are building in this age for our benefit.

There are those in the so called conscious community, who will not speak to me or work with me to build, just because of my Age, Sex, Spirituality, my personal relationship or because, I am not a devout Vegan, who may have sparingly consumed locally grown organic meats, eggs, butter, cheese and honey on occasions. I am considered and treated by some Vegans, as a contaminated necromancer, who is worm infested and deranged. Even Eye must confess my own aversion from religious patriarchy and pork consumers. Yes, I feel the sting of the lash of exile and shunning from Patriarchal dogmas of Hebrews, Muslims, and Christians, and how they are controlling and micromanaging what little resources we have for divide and conquer, until we are rendered collectively ineffective.

Yet, right now, we are still living and raising our children, in enemy territory, and are moving targets as Melanin Indigo people, regardless of our religious, dietary, political, age, or sex, in the belly of the beast of Race Supremacy, under a critical fight for our very lives and that of our children. We have a lot of work to do for our own healing and that of our Children. These self-Willie lynchings that we use internally, to polarize ourselves form each other- of ageism, sexism religion-ism, Racism, dietary preferences, or smokers etc.., is stagnating.

As far as our food and life is concerned, we must seek to venerate and respect ALL life and not to take the life of ANYTHING without showing propitiation and sacrifice. We must seek to live in harmony and balance with the ecosystem of the Mother Earth for our Air, Water, Food and Shelter. Reading "How to Eat to live" Minister Elijah Muhammad speaks on the consideration, that we don't need to eat all vegetation, that we don't need to eat every day, and that we must leave some foods for the Animals to consume. Even in the Abrahamic or Levitical laws, there were foods, like shellfish, Swine, and Cloven toe animals that were forbidden to consume...

So, even the harvesting and alternative plant production measures, that have been employed by humans, along with the chemical controls, exploitation of labor, negligence in waste management, and intentional planned scarcity, by discarding foods or leaving them to die on the vine, rather than harvest, are major factors in sustainable living. Also the deforestation for building and expansion; should be challenged, with remediation established holistically. Historically, Mono-cropping deforested entire states and countries, bringing on plagues of locust infestations, drought, famine and tornadoes.

WHERE DOES OUR FOOD COME FROM?!

Many of us STILL do not grow or glean our own foods, or even know the process by which the foods we feed to our babies, is taken to these so called organic grocers, of which, so many of our Indigo peoples, are solely dependent upon!

WE TRUST AND BELIEVE THIS ADVERSE SYSTEM TOO MUCH!

YES! In Order to free ourselves WE MUST Feed ourselves! So Growing our own local fresh fruits and vegetables and even livestock must take place. We MUST be Mindful in ALL our relationships. #amenankh #blackautonomy

Healing Weeds

Some weeds in our yards and Gardens are actually good for you and can be deliciously prepared. 

Be sure to identify the weeds correctly (The ones described here are easy to spot.) Avoid harvesting from anyplace you suspect pollution — such as from vehicle exhaust, lawn pesticide or doggy business. Also remember that edible does not mean allergen-free. Here are 9 good ones:

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.

PURSLANE

If you've ever lived in the city, you have seen good ol' Portulaca olearacea, or common purslane. The stuff grows in cracks in the sidewalk. Aside from being surprisingly tasty for a crack dweller, purslane tops the list of plants with omega-3 fatty acids, the type of healthy fat found in salmon.

If you dislike the bitter taste of dandelion greens, you still might like the lemony taste of purslane. The stems, leaves and flowers are all edible; and they can be eaten raw on salads — as they are prepared worldwide — or lightly sautéed.

You should keep a few things in mind, though, before your harvest. Watch out for spurge, a similar-looking sidewalk-crack dweller. Spurge is much thinner than purslane, and it contains a milky sap, so you can easily differentiate it. Also, your mother might have warned you about eating things off the sidewalk; so instead, look for purslane growing in your garden, or consider transplanting it to your garden from a sidewalk.

Also, note some folks incorrectly call purslane "pigweed," but that's a different weed — edible but not as tasty.

LAMB'S QUARTERS

Lamb's-quarters are like spinach, except they are healthier, tastier and easier to grow. Lamb's-quarters, also called goosefoot, usually need more than a sidewalk crack to grow in, unlike dandelion or purslane. Nevertheless, they can be found throughout the urban landscape, wherever there is a little dirt.

The best part of the lamb's-quarters are the leaves, which are slightly velvety with a fine white powder on their undersides. Discard any dead or diseased leaves, which are usually the older ones on the bottom of the plant. The leaves and younger stems can be quickly boiled or sautéed, and they taste like a cross between spinach and Swiss chard with a slight nutty after-taste.

Maybe that taste combination doesn't appeal to you, but lamb's-quarters are ridiculously healthy. A one-cup serving will give you 10 times the daily-recommended dose of vitamin K; three times the vitamin A; more than enough vitamin C; and half your daily dose of calcium and magnesium.

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.

CHICKWEED

One of the not-so-ugly weeds worth pulling and keeping is chickweed. Identified by purple stems, fuzzy green leaves, and starry white flower petals, this weed is a fantastic source of vitamins A, D, B complex, and C. It also contains minerals like iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium. Chickweed (Stellaria media) has a cornsilk-like flavor when eaten raw and tastes similar to spinach when it is cooked. 

Chickweed nourishes the lymph and glandular systems, and can heal cysts, fevers, and inflammation. It can help neutralize acid and help with yeast overgrowth and fatty deposits, too.

Additionally, chickweed can be finely chopped and applied externally to irritated skin. Steep the plant in ¼ cup of boiling water for 15 minutes, and chickweed provides benefits similar to dandelion root. Speaking of dandelion…

CLOVER

Other than the occasional four-leafed clover hunt, this common lawn weed goes mostly unnoticed, even though it is becoming popular as a lawn replacement altogether. Clover is an important food for honeybees and bumblebees, and clover leaves and flowers can be used to add variety to human meals as well. Small amounts of raw clover leaves can be chopped into salads or can be sauteed and added to dishes for a green accent, and the flowers of both red and white clover can be eaten raw or cooked, or dried for tea.

MALLOW

Mallow, or malva, is also known as cheeseweed, due to the shape of its seed pods, and can be found in many lawns or garden beds across the US. The leaves and the seed pods (also called the 'fruit') are both edible, either raw or cooked, and like many greens, are often more tender and palatable when smaller and less mature. The older leaves can be used like any other cooked green after steaming, boiling, or sauteing them.

WILD AMARANTH

The leaves of the wild amaranth, also known as pigweed, are another great addition to any dish that calls for leafy greens, and while the younger leaves are softer and tastier, the older leaves can also be cooked like spinach. The seeds of the wild amaranth can be gathered and cooked just like store-bought amaranth, either as a cooked whole grain or as a ground meal, and while it does take a bit of time to gather enough to add to a meal, they can be a a good source of free protein.

STINGING NETTLES

It sounds like a cruel joke, but stinging nettles — should you be able to handle them without getting a painful rash from the tiny, acid-filled needles — are delicious cooked or prepared as a tea.

You may have brushed by these in the woods or even in your garden, not knowing what hit you, having been trained all your life to identify poison ivy and nothing else. The tiny needles fortunately fall off when steamed or boiled. The trick is merely using garden gloves to get the nettles into a bag.

Nettles tastes a little like spinach, only more flavorful and more healthful. They are loaded with essential minerals you won't find together outside a multivitamin bottle, and these include iodine, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, silica and sulfur. Nettles also have more protein than most plants.

You can eat the leaves and then drink the plants as tea, with or without sweetener, hot or cold. If you are adventurous — or, you can collect entire plants to dry in your basement. The needles will eventually fall off, and you can save the dried leaves for tea all winter long. 

Rosemary

Commonly used in cooking, the herb native to the Mediterranean region can do more than spice up your dishes, however. A recent study shows that carnosic acid in Rosemary may reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The oil in the flower is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Finally, the oil in Rosemary has been shown to improve circulation to the brain, hence it’s association with ‘remembrance’.

Lavender

The beautiful bush which offer relaxing fragrance and a shield from your neighbor has many health benefits as well! Lavender is known to have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Historically used in ancient Greek and Roman times, it was used as an antiseptic. Through the ages it’s progressed to be utilized as an alternative remedy to treat anxiety, migraines, insomnia, and depression.

Aloe Vera

Besides being a great soother for burns and stings, Aloe Vera offers healing in many ways. The clear gel can be used to treat skin infections, reduce inflammation (taken intrinsically and applied externally), relieve constipation, aid heartburn, and even soothe irritable bowel syndrome. It’s easy to cultivate a plant indoors and keep it on hand for any ails in the future.

Lemon Thyme

A colorful derivative of Thyme, this variety of herb can be used as a digestive aid for children with upset stomachs and has been utilized for centuries as an anti-biotic to treat wounds. Also containing anti-fungal properties, it’s use extends to treating toenail fungus and more. Thymol, one of the main active ingredients in most mouthwashes, is a derivative of Thyme. Grow it at home or let it naturally spring forth and harvest the benefits for free!

Sunflower

A beautiful masterpiece of a plant that follows the sun, Sunflowers have many health benefits. Tea made from the leaves is known to be an astringent, diuretic, an exporant, and an agent to reduce fever. Because of these properties Sunflower has been used to treat a variety of colds and coughs. The plant itself can extract toxic ingredients from the soil and was even used by the Russian government to help clean up after the Chernobyl accident.

Finally, if matured and seeding, the actual sunflower seeds provide many B vitamins, Vitamin E, protein, and fiber.

Peppermint

A wonderful additive to treats and entrees, peppermint boasts the ability to soothe headaches, skin irritations, nausea, pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. Because it calms the stomach, it’s a well-known indigestion aid. Some studies have even shown it has antiviral and anti-bacterial properties. Preparations made from the leaves can even relieve chest congestion. This wonder herb can freely abound from just a few sprinkled seeds.

Catnip

More than a happy-cat elixer, this herb is soothing for toothaches if chewed on, can make one sweat and lower fevers, and is even known to be a mild sedative to humans. Catnip oil can be a useful insect repellent, and some research even suggests it may repel mosquitos 10x better than DEET.

Sweet Basil

This delectable herb adds a zest to Italian-inspired dishes and boosts the healing of the human body. Not only is Sweet Basil an effective insect repellent, but in early Greek times its leaves were used to treat scorpion stings. Romans used it to alleviate flatulence, counteract poisonings, and to stimulate breast milk. A variety called ‘Holy Basil’ in India is one of the most medicinal herbs on the planet – used to treat stress, Diabetes, and even asthma. Further more, some studies have shown it to have antiviral and anti-cancer properties.

Whether wild food foraging or growing in the comfort of one’s own home, fresh and affordable herbs flourish easily and are readily available for man’s use.

**Note: Although rare, plants – like prescription drugs – may cause side effects if taken in wrong proportion/quantity. It is recommended to consult a medical professional before taking any medication, even natural herbal remedies, if concerned. 

A part of traditional gardening is putting back into the earth whatever we took. Taking care of the soil, we compost. We try to keep bare soil to the minimum. Where there are no plants, instead of weeding, we mulch or add a ground cover. We are able to grow food without chemical fertilizer.

The biggest teaching that gardens teach is - what we consume into our body is more than just through the mouth. We feed ourselves through our eyes, our noses, and our touch. These senses are just as necessary as taste. So, we can grow for our senses.

Indigo Youth Arising

Our Indigo Youth are arising from the ashes 
Of the Age of Pisces

Every Age provides the ONE
They are the KRST child
12/12/12 launched the rising of the New Age

We must prepare the way for the Aquarian KRST 
The KRST Child is in all of our Indigo Children



KRST is Ka Ra Sa Ta

*the Spirit Enlightened Protector of Eartha

Leadership of every age

Have always sent their emissaries

To slaughter the KRST


Our Youth are marchin in their sufferin

From the Post-Traumatic Stress

Of the neo slavery -Prison Industrial Complex
Yes our youth are showing their @$$es 
To expose the underground economy... 
Our youth have been the walking wounded,

Sagging IS NOT JUST A FASHION STATEMENT!
Our Youth have been lowering their flags at half-mast for the past 30 years
As an SOS on Police corruption, injustice, homicides,

Slaughter, mass incarcerations and Genocides
Of their families and friends

Yes Saggin- Spelled backwards = Niggas 
To those youth who have lost their way
Following a crowd who are caught up in
The normalizing of criminal actions

Caught up in the World Wide Web of
The CoIntelPro criminal "In-Just U.S." system,
From the Preschool to Prison pipeline to be child soldiers
To Super Predator Police and the military industrial complex.
I'm not saying that I condone this behavior-
But I also cannot condemn our young men (Or Women) either

We must embrace and Breathe life into our youth
And use each teachable moment to engage and connect with them.

I am a homeschool Resource Teacher,
I live within my students neighborhoods.
I tutor, read, feed and teach STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Industrial Arts and Mathematics) through urban agriculture at Amen Ankh Akademy. 

As nature, has a cure for every illness, Our Black Youth have gone feral,
From the Mis-Education, and mundane delusions of
Patriotism, integration-ism, assimilation-ism, and Capitalism,
From the Corporatakrazy Racism-system
Following the white rabbit middle class values
Of a society of non-colored sheeple
Who try to control and exploit our Indigo people. 

Our Youth think our elders have failed them and left them for “def”-in da Hood,
In the aftermath of a decade of civil rights movement
To economic integration, by the Corporate Prison invasion and perpetual wars

Of  the G.O.D. of Guns Oil and Drugs and the penalty disparities between Cocaine and Crack. 
Religion is like putting a finger band aid on a leg amputation
Although prayer is positive,
Our youth need more than hope, 
While their Economic bloodlines are gushing down the blood red streets full of dope.

Our Indigo Youth are generating their own freedom structures
Transforming within the background of the underground economy, despite of the odds against them.

Government officials implemented the destruction of the Indigo Americans after the many economic gains, through the Civil Rights movement in the 1970s. Co-Intel-Pro (Counter Intelligence Programming)
was implemented by the Korporatakrazy of the US.
They financed Gangster Rap
To become the Pied Piper human trap;
Luring our youth to a Pinocchio Piccadilly Circus.
To be mauled by Killer Klown Kops- who are worthless tools, used to
fill the Mass Incarceration/Prison industrial complex or Lynching and publicly executing our youth as martyred sacrificial lambs, with impunity. They are involved with Gun running Drugs, Prostitution, gambling, Organs harvesting, Abortions, Poisoned Food and Water, Man made STDs and plagues, human trafficking, drug mules, and sacrificing our young women into showing their @$$es, as sex slaves.


Now conscious Hip Hop Culture has become that Nu-cypher,
Our KRSTs are moving to a green environmental movement
That Thang,
That lantern, pathway 
That talking drum,
That light in the tunnel, for all youth around Mama Eartha.
Taking on the accountability to the ecosystem
And their role in the sustainability of the Planet.
Ha Le Lu Yah

Their Truth is Marching on!

What are the issues to Heal the Hood?    

• Youth empowerment and building a revolutionary sustainable way of life through local production and home cottage industry

• Gang and Underground economy truce.

• Building an anti-poverty and employment and vocational movement for the Urban At-Risk Youth, Prison re-entry populations and low income people out of work;

• Building a mass movement against racist police terror and brutality, and to end racial profiling;

•         Fighting School to mass imprisonment of our youth, and people of color, which is crippling families and their communities.

•         How to organize an autonomy chapter in your city to do revolutionary grassroots organizing.

 Who should come to Amen Par Ankh?

 Activists, educators, students, workers, and many others, in fact, everyone who has looked at the problems of unemployment, poverty, infant mortality, police murder and brutality, and other issues concentrated in The black community, and said to themselves: “There has to be an answer!” Well, there is, the Black people must organize their own mass movement and must direct our voted officials and those in political offices, corporations, and other institutions. Yet, we must all be willing to learn new ideas and hear new voices and from new leadership and youth, not heard from before. We need real solutions, instead of the political dead ends distractions and busy work of the past few years that have been presented. Kansas City needs this new path, to jumpstart people's power structures in the urban areas that can lead to the building of new social movements all over the Americas. This is a worker's movement, which anyone in our community can attend if they come to work to solve our own problems.

* You should come because you want solutions to what you see in our communities every day and on the nightly news: unemployed young men on the corner; dead youth at the hands of each other or from the police; massive numbers of Black people thrown into jail and prisons over the drug trade, families overcoming nutritional deprivation and poverty, and other issues we see but don’t understand there is something we can do about this. We are talking about building solutions to our problems: a new campaign about police brutality and terrorism that includes community self-defense; a mass movement against poverty and unemployment that includes building a Black solidarity economy, at a time when our community is suffering from depression levels of unemployment. We need to talk about how we build a mass movement for youth empowerment in order to turn the youth into community organizers and agents for social change. We will talk about a mass community-based movement against racial profiling and deadly police and auxiliary police attacks on Black youth; and finally, we need to talk about how to build a movement for Autonomy in your city, in order to apply what you have learned at this conference.
