MY HISTORY OF POLITICS IN AMERICA

I came to New York from Jamaica in 1980. I was willing and ready to publish THE AFRICAN EXPRESSION with backing from someone to whom I was introduced to while working with THE JAMAICA DAILY NEWS. The backing failed to come true and I was left all by myself, nevertheless I did not give up. Another great friend saw my predicament and introduced me to HOMECARE and guest what after all my endeavors I am still in HOMECARE.

My first encounter was with the BLACK REPUBLICANS, to be specific The New York State Council of Black Republicans, an affiliate of the National Black Republican Council under the leadership of Fred Brown at a summer conference and retreat held in New York.

Another encounter was with the Council of African Men under the leadership of Joseph R. Mack. These men were interested in launching a Black Political Party in New York State with the aim to legitimately represent the interest of African people.

I had already founded the KUSHITE Party now the Royal WAFRAKAN Political Party. Interest was shown, but was not carried out to any great extent and I moved to Alabama with the KUSHITE Party where many great things were accomplished in the philosophy of self help and self reliance.

Also encountered were the African People’s Socialist Party, the All African People’s Revolutionary Party, the African Diaspora Civic Association and the Marcus Garvey People’s Political Party and the Democratic Party.

A dear reader of this blog wants me to dialogue on the “Oil spill”, but I would rather stay mute as I believe the greater powers that be can resolved this matter adequately with time. Instead I shall continue with politics in America and at this time acknowledge the death of my dear friend, Mr. Willie Hicks –DUROJAIYE, who passed away July 17, 2010.

Mr. Hicks was one of the few who answered my open letter to politician of African descent and ever since a beacon in my struggle with politics in America. He was a PAN AFRICANIST who believed a united Africa is the greatest force for good in the world. He founded the Supreme Council of African Nationalism and was a true GARVEYITE.

He founded African Diaspora Civic Association, African Nation of the Diaspora, Durojaiye Trading and Commodity Corp, Mind Power Inc, MAAN Corporation and the African Diasporan Papacy. He was born Willie Lee Hicks on January 31, 1931 in Bartow, Georgia to Mike and Lula Mae Hicks. He was affectionately known as Nana Kwaku, Hannibal, Abdus Salaam and Durojaiye.

A veteran of the Korean War, Mr. Hicks travelled extensively to Africa, Japan, Europe, South America and the Caribbean. He was a graduate of Brooklyn College and Baruch University. He will be greatly missed.

THE NEW WEALTH AND INNOVATION OF THE 21ST CENTURY

“Do you know how many men got their riches from a farthing?” This is a typical question when in conversation with my eldest brother. He might have heard it from our maternal uncle.

African people who were enslaved and colonized by the British would know about the British penny. It is from the penny denomination we get the farthing as four farthings make one penny. Also enslaved and colonized Africans who under the British accepted Christianity would be very familiar with the two mites in parts of the scripture of Jesus Christ. Well, two mites equal half-a-penny.

The story of the two mites was given great values. It was everything that this poor widow had and she was willing to give it all. I say this because in today’s world there is no such thing as a farthing. The penny’s value has been taken away and replaced by the one cent. I understand that the one cent too will soon cease to exist as its cost to produce seems to be greater than its value.

As you might tell I am descendent of captive and enslaved Africans. I was void of my heritage and it would seem that it was not in my genes to become a carbon copy of an English woman. So began the search for my original African roots.

My imagination transcended time and boundaries. I visualized Christianity through English rule, Roman rule and the rule in Egypt (Kingdom of KEMET) of the pharaohs.

I learnt the value of a half-a-penny when one was tossed to me by a British tourist back in those days.

The MERKHUTU was born when I came into my African conscious self. I knew that the British was in Nigeria and Nigeria was a colony of the British and I knew that for currency the Africans used Cowry shells or manilas for currency and those among the British used the ANINI, SISI ANINI and in other parts of Africa the KWABO, KITANO, KIKUMI. With my knowledge of Pound Sterling and the names the Africans were familiar with I came up with MERKHUTU and gave denominations with equivalence to pound sterling. Today farthings have multiplied in numbers greater than one and the hundred zeros.

By NEFERTARI AHMOSE

It is this MERKHUTU that is intended to be the hope of billions of people throughout the world who lack finances. Please pray for the Royal Bank of WAFRAKAN and MERKHUTU that this work will be realized early.


MERKHUTU AS A CURRENCY

One of the challenges that we face as a people is funding. Since most of us as a people are basically poor and broke, we must start from the farthing to the widow’s two mites and embrace the ANINI-ANER-MERKHUTU Monetary system that is used by the QUEENDOM OF WAFRAKAN.

As a people we have to learn to take responsibility for self and kind and to find our purpose for life. We must find our own way. To find our own way we have to afford the price and also pay the price.

One way to pay the price is through giving and serving self and kind. We must offer ANINI in mind and on paper and to begin with the equation of ANINI with mites, farthings, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, pound sterling, euro, MERKHUTU etc.

THE MERKHUTU – COIN – UNITS ARE:-

2 Mites = 2 farthings

4 farthings = 1 ANER

5 ANERU =KITANO

10 ANERU = KIKUMI

25 ANERU = FATAKA

100 ANERU = 1 MERKHUT

THE MERKHUTU DENOMINATIONS ARE:-

1 MERKHUT

5 MERKHUTU

10 MERKHUTU

50 MERKHUTU

100 MERKHUTU

1000 MERKHUTU

ROZIAN AND THE ROYAL WAFRAKAN POLITICAL PARTY

You may ask what need there is for another political party? The answer is that there will always be the need for another political party until the people representing the masses get it right. The Royal WAFRAKAN Political Party is the party of all parties hoping to get it right.

It is very interesting that political parties were realized by early American revolutionaries as not a good idea, but until now an alternative was never found and the pioneering revolutionaries found themselves the victims of political parties.

America’s first President, George Washington is recorded to have warned against parties. James Madison it is said did not approve. Alexander Hamilton thought that faction was a vice to guard against at all times. Thomas Jefferson is said to have declared, “If I could not go to heaven, but with a party, I would not go there at all.”

Yet, with these views Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton founded the first two great American parties – The Democratic-Republican and the federalist.

All these men must have known the danger of parties, but in their days the alternative was a far off. I believe that these men fell back on their words because political parties can never be rid of until man’s inhumanity to man is replaced by freedom, equal monetary gain, equal rights and privileges and are given to all people, from the poor peasants to the noble families, the wealthy merchants, business men and professionals.

The ancient Greeks were the pioneers in political affairs, yet they had no organized political parties in the modern sense. The Assembly was the governing body of the city, but was the interest of all the people represented?

In Rome, there were the Patricians and the Plebeians. The Plebeians represented the wealthy merchants and the middle class. The Patricians represented the noble families, but what about the poor peasants, were they represented?

The 20th century saw the spread of political parties throughout the world and the 21st century, it is anticipated will see the spread of a new political and economical awakening when the world’s people will look through the eyes of equality and interdependence as the key for human survival.

And what will the Royal WAFRAKAN Political Party do to make a difference and to make it right? It will seek to integrate all parties and share the spoils with all the people. This is where ROZIAN comes in.

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD MUST UNITE WITH ROZIAN

People all over the world have never in history waged a united struggle for political and economic interdependence and it is time for such a struggle which will integrate political parties. Today political parties are known for their rivalries and factions and the promises of politicians are becoming outdated, as no state can cut itself off from the rest of the world. Hence, the rhetoric of independence is fast becoming a myth.

Today, worldwide economic and political interdependence are the key and what people need to fight for is an economic and political system that will do better justice to the justified interest of all and it is sure time political parties worldwide cooperate in forming the political and economical will of the people.

With respect to separate nationalist governments within separate political boundaries the world’s people must join as one in order to solve the world’s problems. ROZIAN has the democratic institutions to facilitate this order.

There are factions crying, “Down with colonialism, imperialism and capitalism”. But, before we think of their destruction we must seek out how they may be ameliorated to bring the change that the world needs. What people need is unity of the many cultures of the world, economic and political interdependence which will foster self determination.

It is time for politicians to sit down and reserve themselves time to work out policies for the people. In under developed and developing countries the cost of living is so high, mal nutrition is far reaching and as a matter of fact no political parties at any end of the world have sufficed its people needs from these conditions.

Workers need job stability and safety nets in regards to health and education benefits. The system wherein a political party, if victorious determines whether a person remains in a job, lives in a certain place or determines the people to people relationships within the party and within the country is rather pathetic. People should be at liberty to share in the spoils and all the spoils should belong to all the people. The spoils should not belong to one faction of a party at the others expense.

WHY WE MUST ACT WITHIN ROZIAN NOW

Three quarters of the world’s young people are without inheritance. It is for the world’s people to realize that more than three quarters of the world’s young people have nothing in the form of financial or property inheritance from which to make life and the impossibility that more than half of these young people will not be able to make life on their own or to even acquire a good standard of living by or if they should live to an old age.

Knowing the little of the world’s resources that has not been conquered or exploited by past generations, efforts will have to be made to distribute more equally the wealth of resources among young people all over the world.

The suggested way is through a worldwide economic system through which young and old equally work and share what the world has to offer and what generations have left behind.

The world’s people shoulder a heavy responsibility of which all have to make a contribution to attain a world free of hunger and deprivation. There is no way that hunger or poverty will be eliminated, if people do not have education and jobs to develop their own creativity and receive opportunities and sufficient money to attend their needs.

It is the business of the now generation at whatever part of the world they are to level one to another to create the society wherein the young people al l over the world will have their equal share and equal place in life for the good of humanity, peace and survival.

ROZIAN seeks to put volunteers in areas where the unemployed not only learns, but earns. Volunteers  local or foreign should be considered to be placed in areas where unemployed people form units within the ROZIAN workers’ enterprise and with the assistance of skilled volunteers open up employment for the many unemployed. Currently volunteers are placed into formal organizations where they” suffer the feeling” that they are taking away jobs which the organization might have been able to afford paid employees.

The unemployed need the skill and work experience of volunteers who cannot only teach, but work within an organization which offers more and more unemployed people the chance to earn their living through a skill that can be productive and rewarding to both the volunteers and the unemployed.

Having volunteers in areas where the unemployed not only learns and grows, but earns is a fantastic idea.

Volunteers assisting the unemployed in units to utilize local resources and materials with special emphasis on science and technology to produce products from the many plants and crops which are typical of the natural resources of a country are a milestone to the unemployed.

There is a great need for volunteer services and organizations like the German Volunteer Service, the Peace Corps, Pioneer Corps, 4 H Clubs, Canadian Volunteer s, Project Hope and other  many great organizations to help the unemployed, be there the seriousness in helping others.

If organizations like these are involved in programs that enable people to earn and live for themselves there would be no doubt that the initiators of these organizations would have achieved their objectives.

The idea of ROZIAN Workers’ Enterprise gives  volunteers the scope to open up jobs for the unemployed and be given education in the ROZIAN university with the privileges to enjoy equal rights and monetary gains as practiced in ROZIAN.

It is my belief that voluntary or not for profit organizations hold the key to world integration and some of their objective should lie in the employment and equality of the world’s people who are divided into tribes and nations. Many of which could do well with the ROZIAN Workers’ Enterprise as a solution to the employment of millions of young people who leave school annually to be confronted with unemployment.

THE INSTITUTION OF ROZIAN SHARING AND WORKING

The ROZIAN system surrounds the economy of the people which is built on loving, caring, sharing, work and study. There are people and wealth, workers and owners who share equally in the economy and just as the haves who share to even out the unbalanced, there are the haves not with the desire to use the available resources to self-reliantly pull themselves up to attain their objective.

On the whole there is everyone giving service, be it in culture, language, religion, politics, economics, education, science, manufacturing, distribution, arts, sports, industry, architecture, craft, tourism, music, housing, law and legislation, public health, public service, security, manpower, herding, farming, fishing, hunting, forestry and other occupations.

ROZIAN politics which is based on people and their equality is center on the fact that people must have the wealth and power on an equal basis to live interdependently, inter-tribally and internationally and at the same time govern their destiny.

Basically there are two kinds of people and two kinds of countries. There are the haves and the haves not. We must all know that all power and wealth are entrusted and we are accountable for their exercise. It is from the people and for the people that they cometh forth and so likewise must all exist..

ROZIAN functions to bring equilibrium between the people who have and those who do not and also equilibrium between countries that have and those that have not. The ideology is a matter of the economy beginning from the unemployed and their employment worldwide.

ROZIAN thrives on the willingness of the haves to share with the haves not. Within the ROZIAN Workers’ Organization there are two ways to come by wealth. (1)Development aid and grant, along with people to people assistance and (2) using what we possess constructively and efficiently towards the general good.

The constitution of ROZIAN calls for a workers’ representative sector, a people’s representative sector and a management sector.

ROZIAN acknowledges the God and Goddess within us which manifest as life eternal through Jesus Christ and confining religion to a person’s personal beliefs in the way that person sees and worships the deity.

ROZIAN believes in the equality of the nations and people within: their right to protect their distinct identities, without oppression be they from Europe, Africa, the Americas or Asia and be they WAFRAKAN- AFRICANS, EUROPEANS, CHINESE, INDIANS, JEWS, ARABS, RUSSIANS, AMERICANS and et al.

ROZIAN believes that all people must be at liberty to promote their language, religion, culture without impediments and to the betterment of themselves and their fellowmen without infringement to rights and responsibilities.

ROZIAN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEM

Through the ROZIAN Workers Organization Enterprise an economic and political system is developed. It is within the workers organization enterprise that economic and political factors are determined. Since all men are equal in rights, privileges, opportunities and monetary gains the political factor is not difficult as the politics are based on equality of the world’s people.

In the ROZIAN the economic factor is determined thus: There is the need for raw materials or natural resources and for the finished products. In order to maintain the oneness of the system employment and product must replace cost in the existing world economic system, e.g.  worker enterprises are set up where there is raw material or natural resource and determining from the existing world economic system the amount paid for the finished product and the labor for the finished product must determined the amount paid for the labor of the raw material.

Thus: in a worker’s enterprise where consideration is given to the people who have and the countries which have and those who do not have, the more industrialized countries are expected to give more to the workers enterprises, because of the cost of a finished product to that of the raw material and the price of labor for a finished product to the cost of labor for raw material.

Within a worker’s organization beginning from the acquiring of the raw material to the sale of the finished product there is one system to facilitate the divisions of labor which determine equal monetary gain and one stable worldwide price for products set by the producers for the consumers.

Once the raw material is handled by a ROZIAN Worker’s Enterprise the manufacture and sale of the product must be handled through out by a ROZIAN workers’ enterprise, because it is through the act of working within one system to produce products and services that open trade will be replaced.

The resources of countries must be shared through equal employment and equal gain for the world’s people. Through Workers Organization Enterprises method of equal pay within the divisions of labor and the oneness of the system the basic needs for people and for services are combined.

The reality today is that neither one person nor one country can be self sufficient solely. The needs of people are common and common in the sense that people are needed to build houses, plant food, purify water, manufacture, distribute, find and cure diseases, make medicine and the myriads of other things necessary, because we all depend for our needs on the efforts of others as well as on our own efforts it is only fair to treat each service to be rendered equally.

ROZIAN AND THE ROYAL WAFRAKAN UNIVERSITY

ROZIAN is an egalitarian institution of learning and working wherein workers involved in enterprises have the advantage of a university.

THE ROYAL WAFRAKAN UNIVERSITY is here presented with a new concept in education and job opportunity. For education to be of meaning it must extend itself to an outlet of growth for the individual. It is my endeavor that future students will seek and find a new direction and a new purpose in education.

THE ROYAL WAFRAKAN UNIVERSITY offers five levels of education on an age grade level.

1.       The pre-university level for parents and babies up to three years old.

2.       Basic education for three to seven years old.

3.       Elementary education for seven to fourteen years old.

4.       Secondary education for fifteen to twenty one years old.

5.       Advanced education for adults twenty one and over. The ideology and practice of the university is egalitarian. Workers are owners and controllers of the means of production and polity. Equality of rights shall not be denied on account of sex or sexual orientation.

Male and female are equal before the law. We all must love one another. It is the belief that everyone owes service and it is through this service that man’s equality is based. Within this corporate existence or entity men and women are equal from birth. We all have the right to education, responsibility, employment, opportunity, monetary gains, rights and privileges, participation in decision and policy-making and over all equality.

We must be constantly reminded that in our schools we are dealing with children, teachers and parents who have influence on the minds of children early and before their minds are fully developed or changed by different experiences.

All studies must be standardized according to age. We must take note of the fact that children move from place to place and among new people and their age remains constant, hence the world’s schools should base what they teach children according to their age with regards to their gifts.

The rights of workers on an egalitarian basis to peace, prosperity, work, education, food, clothing, housing, safety and protection, basic necessities of individual, family and national rights, the parents, children, home circle and things that contribute to a good standard and quality of living the life are guaranteed.

ROZIAN AS A WORKERS’ ENTERPRISE

ROZIAN is a worker’s institution in which a systematic group of people work and study together for equal rewards in enterprises which they are both workers and owners. In this type of enterprise men and women have the equal right to employment and parenting, equal opportunities, equal monetary gain, equal rights and privileges and equal rights in government participation. ROZIAN fulfils the maxim that everyone owes service and it is through this service that man’s equality is based.

Workers’ enterprises are put forward to solve unemployment, poverty and to bridge the gap between the haves and the haves not with service the base of equality.
