The gospel of white fascism (Part 36)...What do the world's first "steam engine" and the Pythagorean theorem have in common?

I remember about a decade ago, I was watching the “Tavis Smiley” show on PBS, and one of his guests, a brotha, professed that a Black man invented “air conditioning”. Well, that was all the motivation I needed to start researching his claim. And sure enough, the brotha was right—it was Mr. Fred Mckinley Jones, a Black man, who not only created conditioned air, but built the device responsible for “talking” movies. Also, I remembered reading an article, in a magazine about movies, that said Black people made no contributions to  early cinema. Now, being that I consider myself a bit of a cinephile and a Black Nationalist, I intrinsically knew that was false, I just didn’t have any evidence to prove it. But now I do—and that’s just one of the perks of being an older Black Nationalist.

Anyways, I also recall being told by someone, that the first “steam engine” was created by a Black man—so, my curious mind got to researching again, only this time I ran into a bit of a roadblock. Now, when I googled, “who created the world’s first steam engine”, what immediately popped up were the names of 2 white men: Thomas Savery and Edward Somerset.

And wikipedia says, Thom Savery was an engineering inventor, born in 1650, who lived in an area called Modbury, in the United Kingdom. It also says he was born in a “manor house”, meaning, he came from a well-to-do family—supposedly. Anyway, wiki also said that Thom invented the first commercially used “steam-powered device”—that being a steam “pump” referred to as a steam engine.

That’s when I cocked an eyebrow, and thought to myself, a water “pump” was referred to as a steam engine? Hmmmm.

Now, when I read further, I saw that a guy named Thomas Newcomen’s advances on Thom Savery’s “steam engine”, had them working together cause Newcomen’s device fell under Savery’s steam engine “Patent”, that he acquired in 1698. I also saw that both these devices came from an earlier version of a “steam engine”, created by Frenchman Denis Papin in 1690.

But what struck me most, was a reference to an invention that predated all of these, called an “Aeolipile”, and this was also mentioned in the “wiki” article.

And when I researched this, it’s said that the secondary name for an Aeolipile, is a “Hero’s Engine”—and it’s described as being a “simple, bladeless” radial steam turbine, which spins when the central water container is heated (above). It’s also said that this device creates torque much like a tip jet or a rocket engine would, and in the 1^st century AD, a (white) guy named Hero of Alexandria, described how this device existed in “Roman-occupied Egypt”—thus, Hero of Alexandria, was given credit for the Aeolipile’s invention. *shaking head*

Now, beyond the craptastic fact that this white boi took credit for something that already existed, I immediately thought to myself—ain’t it funny how this story is leading me back to Africa—and back to Kemet/Egypt more specifically?

Hmmmm.

Then I thought to myself, okay—let me check out what’s up wit’ this other dude, Edward Somerset.

Turns out, Eddie Somerset was a 2^nd Marquee of Worcester, and was born on March 9^th, of 1602. He was royalty fam. And this guy also lived in the UK—London more specifically. Now, in 1655, Ed authored a book of textual descriptions (meaning written theories y’all—there were no diagrams in this book) of 100 separate inventions. This book was published in 1663, and it’s said that this tome included a device called a “water commanding engine”. Thereafter, some person said this was an obvious prototype for the steam engine. Then, in 1663, someone visited Ed’s workshop, where they saw and described the “hydraulic machine which the Marquee of Worcester had invented”. Mind you, no one saw him build it, or saw him oversee its construction—regardless, this is how Ed Somerset got credit for being one of the inventors of the first steam engine.

Again—Hmmmmm.

Now, when I saw that another name for the Aeolipile was the “Hero’s Engine” and it came out of Africa, I nodded my head and thought, it figures—here’s why…

The Kemetic deity “Heru” (left), was said to be the mythological son of Ausar and Aset (Greeks call Ausar and Aset, “Osiris” and “Isis” y’all). And the name Heru, is where we get the term “Hero” from. I’m sure if you’re a Black man or woman reading this, you’ve seen one or two t-shirts with the word “SuperHeru” on it—well, this is where that’s from. And for those who wanna’ know more about the original “superhero/Heru” story that every magical and mythological hero follows, read the allegory of Ausar, Aset, and Heru sometimes—then note how this story also contains the origins of another religious superhero, “Jesus Christ”.

Now, this “hero/Heru” reference coupled with the term, “Aeolipile”, made me immediately think of Alessandro Volta’s “pile battery”. Now, you may ask yourself, what the heck does Volta’s battery have to do with the African Aeolipile? Welp, it was discovered that Volta learned how to create his pile battery, by studying the African “Djed Pillar Battery”, based on the African “Djed Pillar” symbol (right). And I’ll show you how the Djed Pillar battery works in a masterful video curated by Professor A.C.E. (African Creation Energy), that I’ve kept in my archives for several years.

So, at this point you may be thinking, okay—so what’s all this gotta’ do with the “Pythagorean Theorem”?

Well, let me show ya’…

Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher who is said to have lived around 500 BC, and this man is credited with the mathematical equation known as the Pythagorean theorem. Now, this theorem expresses the relationship between the sides of a right triangle. And it basically shows where the square of the hypotenuse of the triangle (the hypotenuse is the longest side opposite the right angle y’all), is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides of the triangle (above left—and you can click on this pic to make it larger, fam). Mind you, this theorem is also called, the “47^th Problem of Euclid”—cause Euclid, who lived centuries after Pythagoras, was called the “father of geometry” behind his work to solve what’s known as the ratio “3:4:5 Pythagorean triple”.

But here’s what whitey won’t tell you…

The Babylonians (ancient indigenous Black Africans), not only knew, but wrote about this theorem centuries before Pythagoras was born. The ancient artifact known as “Plimpton 322” (left), illustrates these sample “triples” named after Pythagoras. Moreover, in the book “Stolen Legacy” by G.M. James, he states that Pythagoras traveled to Egypt (Kemet) and was taught geometry by the Egyptian priests, and they were the ones who showed him the proof of the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. Meaning, good ole Pythagoras didn’t discover this theorem, so his name shouldn’t be attached to it. Moreover, it’s said that the Kemetic priests also trained Pythagoras in musical theories, while he was in Kemet (Egypt).

Now, had I been taught this in school, maybe geometry wouldn’t have seemed so dull and useless.

And I’ve said all that to say this: once you start looking at or for, the origins of any art or science, you’ll find Black men and women at its nascent stages—no matter how hard whitey tries to cover it up.

And this is but 2 examples of that.

So, to the Black men and women reading this, understand there’s no invention, skill craft, or science, that didn’t start with you. And now that you’re armed with this info., you can go to the mirror, look at yourself, and say loudly and proudly…

I LOVE BEING BLACK!

And mean it.

Here’s the video clip I was talking about, showing our ancient ancestor’s ingenuity behind building the “Djed Pillar battery”.

I’d be remiss, if I didn't show you how the “Djed Pillar” has also influenced american cinema—and if ya’ wanna’ know what I’m talkin’ about, you can find out HERE.

The gospel of white fascism (Part 19)...Question: How did asians become 60% of the world's population?

Recently, I conversed with a co-worker, and told her that the continent leading in rates of world hunger is asia, not Africa. And for a moment, she was dumb-struck. A second later, she said: “Well, that kinda' figures, 'cause there's a billion of them.”

But shortly thereafter, this Black woman and I agreed that we'd both been conditioned to believe that Africa was indeed leading in rates of global hunger. Then I told her how I'd grown up watching TV commercials for charitable organizations, where I saw African children with bloated bellies and flies swirling around them who were clearly starving, and how according to stats, those children should have been asian. Then I thought about her comment of asians outnumbering Africans, and being the world's most populus group period. So once again, being a curious type of fellow, I decided to do a little research to substantiate those numbers. And here's what I found...

First off, when it comes to the indigenous Black people of this earth, and how we're represented in global numbers, the whole of us are categorized as 'African', and our total numbers globally are said to be 1.3 billion throughout the entirety of our Diaspora. So there's literally more than a billion of us in the world, and we represent roughly 20% of the earth's population, officially (wink, wink). And once again, this includes: Black americans, Brazilians, europeans, australians, etc. So according to stats, we are the second largest ethnic group on this earth. And these numbers were gathered by the 'United Nations Population Fund'. Also, at last count, there were 590 million white europeans, and 480 million more whites throughout their diaspora, which gives them roughly 13% of the world's population (mind you, 20% of europe in non-white). So rest assured, there are definitely more Black people in the world, than whites.

Now, this organization also says that the majority of humans live in asia, with its 4.3 billion people making up 60% of the world's population. And it says the two most populated countries in the world are China and India.

So when I pulled up a list of asian countries, I cocked an eyebrow when I saw that 'Russia' was listed as being in asia. And coincidentally, according to stats, Russia is the world's largest physical country (17.1 million square kilometers). Also, according to stats, there's roughly 145 million people living in Russia, and officially 40,000 of those people are Black. Now, anyone with a bit of common sense knows that ethnically, Russians aren't asians. But this is just one trick whitey's playing to cook population numbers—and this is just the tip of the iceberg, trust me.

Also, when we take a further look into one of the world's most populated countries, India, I found that there are roughly 200 million people who Indians have termed 'untouchable'. And this is because they're acknowledged as being 'Black-indians'. Google the term 'Dalit' sometimes. And what this term translates into is: 'oppressed' and 'broken/scattered'. And looking closer into asia, I found that Yemen also had a population of these same untouchables, who's numbers were counted as being in the 2 million residents range. And when you consider countries like Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Palestine, the numbers of Black asians, shoots up by at least 2 million more.

Now, Black people in China at last count, were said to represent 1 million residents. And according to stats, there are 600,000 of us in the city of Guangzhou, China alone. Mind you, these numbers only include immigrant populations, not Black people who are native to the country.

Also, I was shocked to find that 'Isreal' was listed as an 'asian' country. And their population numbers were last counted at roughly 9 million. And once again, anyone with common sense knows that ethnically, isrealis ain't asians. Additionally, at last count, there were 200,000 Black people in isreal.

Now, when you get to South America, the numbers get even sketchier. First off, let's look at Brazil. So according to stats, Brazil has the largest number of Black non-African people in the world as residents. And their numbers are roughly 200 million. Additionally, I was reading an article that said for the first time, more than half of Brazil's residents are listing themselves as Black. In past decades, more of Brazilians identified themselves as white or bi-ethnic cause there was such a stigma for being labeled a Black Brazilian. But as of late, cultural norms have shifted, especially as the conscious Black movement has affected people's sentiments about Black being beautiful. Also, when you look at a country like Cuba, at least half of their 11.1 million people are Black. But according to stats, they're listed as Latino. Likewise with the Dominican Republic (DR), which is comprised almost totally of Black people (DR pop. is at 10 million). And Haiti, which is on the same isle as the DR, is also listed as having 10 million residents.

Now, when you look at the number of Black populations in South American countries like Panama, Peru, Equador, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rico (my mother was born in Puerto Rico, by the way), and Mexico—note, our neighbor to the south, is said to have 1.4 million of us living there, collectively, we represent more than a third, or a little less than half of Latin American countries. Again, these numbers are unofficial, cause people who look like us and speak spanish, are counted as Latino/non-Black. And at last count, our official numbers in South America, were at roughly 20 million.

Now, nearly ALL of the tropical islands: Bahamas, Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Barbados, St. Lucia, Bermuda, etc. are populated with our people. And at last count, those numbers came up to 47 million (under Afro-Carribean).

Now, when we look at Australia, a lot of people will say, c'mon bruh—ain't no brothas out there playin' with no kangaroos. Well, not officially, but unofficially, there are tribes called the Australian 'Aboriginals', who are the native Black people of the continent—thus, their namesake. Mind you, whitey's slickness even applies to this name, cause on the low, Aboriginal translates into, 'abhorring the original'. And these tribes latest pop. numbers are 'officially' 700,000—and you can easily bump that up to 1 million, if you include the Black residents of nearby 'Oceania'. Mind you, these are the official numbers, which put our people at 3% of Australia's overall population.

Now, when we get to Europe, whitey's stronghold, we find that in France alone, there are 3.8 million of us. But the official numbers will only state that 8 million Black migrants are living in europe. They don't want to share the number of our people who were born and raised there.

And when we come to the u.s., our numbers are listed at 45 million residents, including bi-ethnic Black folks.

So I've said all that to say this—if you're a Black man or woman, understand that the majority of the world looks like YOU, not some asian person. Problem is, whitey doesn't want us knowing that, and here's why...

white fascism ultimately wins by keeping Black people, ya' know, the ones with the most genetic power to breed them out of existence, feeling inferior to them and every other kind of person. Cause if we knew the majority of the world looked like us, we might come up out of our 'minority' thinking, and realize that globally, it wouldn't be hard to rise up and stamp out these inbreds who are continuously doing us wrong.

In conclusion, from here forward, whenever you hear whitey refer to you as a minority, know that's just a trick to keep you from realizing they are. It's just like schoolyard politics, a bully keeps people in fear by making them think they're physically stronger than anyone else—but more often than not, once you fight this person, you'll find their bark is worst than their bite.

So when you see white and asian folks who have an arrogant air, you should look right through them. For the simple fact that whitey is not only being bred out of existence as we speak, but he's overdosing on drugs and committing suicide in droves, and asians, who are suppose to be the smartest people on the planet, represent the majority of people in the world who are starving to death.

And when it comes to these groups of people and their hardships, you know what you and I should feel? Absolutely nothing. The melanated earth is just cleansing herself of these folks who have the majority of the world's resources, and are still losing.

So I say, let mother earth do her work. Cause at the end of the day, it's justice—plain and simple.

And that's surely one thing the world could use a hell of a lot more of.

And as Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee's movie, 'Do the Right Thing': “That's the double truth, Ruth.”

Here's some of my research sources: 1 2 3 4

Group trips to Africa and the white supremacist 'slave dungeon trick'...

A couple of years ago, a good friend of mine made his pilgrimage back home to Africa. 

Now, I've always known this friend to have a strong melanated mind, and being that he was a Black man who had a chance to go back to the motherland, and I haven't been that fortunate yet, I was envious.

I remember this friend telling me years before I'd decided to become a Black Nationalist, that the reason there were so many churches with different denominations in Black neighborhoods (pentecostal, methodist, baptist, seventh day adventist, etc.), was so Black people, and especially church-goers, could be separated and thus, less powerful. And I hadn't seen that previously. 

So when my friend got back from Africa, I'd asked him how the trip was. I was expecting him to tell me how his sojourn was life-changing, and how he was going to dedicate more of his time to the cause of Black Nationalism based on what he'd seen. And when I did speak to him about this trip, what he told me was, "I couldn't get outta' that place (Africa) fast enough."

I was shocked.

My friend told me how the group tour he was on, visited a slave dungeon in Ghana. And he described how the Black natives were begging around the facility and how vendors, who were our people, were doing everything they could to get a quick buck out of Black tourists. To which he replied to one of them, "Black people are the same wherever you go, aren't they?" 

My heart sank. 

But after meditating on this, I realized what kinda' game had been run on my friend. 

After looking on line for 'group tours' of Africa, what I found was the overwhelming majority of them were slated to make stops at some sort of slave dungeon. Now, what Black americans, or any other kind of Black/indigenous person coming from a developed country, is made to think is, stopping to visit a slave dungeon, is a necessary part of paying homage to the ancestors and making your pilgrimage to Africa more 'authentic'. But this is another trick played on us by white supremacist fascists. 

In 1919, the honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, founded an organization based on three naval ships he called the 'Black Star Line'. Now, these ships were not only meant to be a means to get our people back home to Africa, but they were meant to facilitate the maritime exchange of goods and services. They were wholly owned by Garvey and his organization, which was completely comprised of Black/indigenous people. 

Now, you'd think white fascists would want Black people to go home and leave america, and other countries, where the populous was mainly comprised of bigoted white inbreds. But what happened to Garvey's Black Star Line, was undercover agents working for the cross-dressing J. Edgar Hoover, and his FBI, sabotaged Garvey's ships and infiltrated his organization, so they both could be neutralized. Why? 'Cause like I've been detailing in previous posts on this Blog, what would ultimately make Black/indigenous people stronger is not our physical proximity to whites; our strength is in building a nation or nation-state, where ethnic homogeneity, i.e. segregation on our terms, would be the ruling principle. 

And this is something white fascists can't allow to happen. If you think I'm wrong, just check out what became of areas like america's 'Black Wall Street' in 1921. 

So what white supremacists have done, especially to these 'African tours', is make sure the people running them, make stops at places like Goree Island, off the coast of Senegal. They want Black/indigenous people visiting these dungeons, to see how we're still struggling and impoverished, and to further reinforce what's been taught to us about Africa. Basically that it's hot, far, and people there are dying of highly contagious diseases and they're still starving to death. We're not going to be taken to the continent's sprawling metropolis' or areas that are thriving financially.

Now, my friend who went on the aforementioned tour, is completely put off at the idea of ever returning to Africa. And this was the desired result of white supremacists. 

And like so many Black americans, my friend consciously understands how magnificent our ancestors were, but subconsciously, hates himself for being Black. I remember before I became a Black Nationalist, I asked him how did white people wind up on top being that they're the world's minority; he immediately said, "Well, Black people sold each other into slavery..." And I had to remind him whites sold each other into slavery too. In fact, the word 'slave' comes from the white 'Slavic' or 'Slav' people. And so many whites enslaved their own kind, that they named the country 'YugoSLAVIA' for its enslaved denizens. 

Understand, if white fascists allow us to have a positive experience when we do arrive in Africa, we might wanna' leave and never come back here. That might start a trend among us to leave from behind enemy lines in america, and start uniting with our brothas and sistas in Africa. And, heaven forbid, we might start sharing resources. 

So, I've said all that to say two things, one, if you're planning on going on one of these tours back to Africa, make sure you book one that DOESN'T include a trip to one of these slave dungeons; and two, as always, our real strength is not in our money, but in our UNITY! 

So don't get duped into disliking the motherland going on one of these insidious tours. 'Cause what'll happen is the same thing these inbreds have planned for us all along; and that is to, one: cast aspersion on and hate each other, and two: ultimately, hate ourselves for being Black. It's all about them keeping us in the paradigm of self-hatred y'all, that's how whitey wins and we lose. 

Now, will Black/indigenous people get up outta' this self-hatred to save ourselves before it's too late?

Once again, that's the $64,000 question.

It's time we stop visiting slave dungeons y'all, for the benefit of our being able to survive what whitey's got in store for us. 

Sutekh!
