The legend of Dr. Phil Emeagwali and the creation of the internet...


Dr. Phil Emeagwali was born on August 23rd, 1954 in Nigeria, Africa. He was the oldest of nine children and his father, who worked as a nurse's aide, earned a modest salary. Because of this, a young Dr. Phil was forced to leave school at the age of fourteen.

Even though Phil wasn't attending a formal school, his father saw his talent for mathematics. His father nurtured his abilities with spontaneous tests that forced Phil to come up with answers quickly, developing his abilities to think on his feet. Eventually, his father tasked him with answering a hundred math questions an hour; which to his father's delight, Phil succeeded at.

The young Dr. Phil journeyed to the public library, which became his alternate school. He spent his days consumed in books not only appropriate for his age, but collegiate-level tomes on subjects ranging from math, chemistry, physics and english. After this, he applied to take the 'General Certificate of Education' exam, which was a high school equivalency test given through the University of London. He passed it easily.

He applied to colleges in europe and the u.s., and at 17, received a scholarship from america's Oregan State University. He began his studies there in 1974 and received a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics in 1977. He then moved to washington d.c., and received a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering from George Washington University in 1981. He attained a second Master's Degree in Applied Mathematics from the University of Maryland in 1986. During the same time, he attained yet another Master's Degree from George Washington University in Ocean, Coastal and Marine Engineering; and this he did while working as a civil engineer in Maryland and Wyoming. In 1987, Dr. Phil was accepted into the University of Michigan's Civil Engineering Doctoral program and received a doctoral fellowship.

Now, in the governmental and academic worlds, there were 20 'Grand Challenges' that confronted the areas of science and engineering. One of these was 'petroleum reservoir stimulation'. Oil companies faced the problem of locating oil reservoirs, without displacing the pockets of petroleum into unreachable areas by drilling too deeply or too often. The main means of locating these reservoirs was using 'supercomputers' which cost upwards of 30 million dollars. Dr. Phil having grown up in Nigeria, which boasts some of the world's biggest oil reserves, decided to take up this challenge in his doctoral dissertation.

Dr. Phil's exposure to nature in his native Nigeria, helped him see the problem from a different perspective. He remembered an old African proverb which stated, 'a large number of chickens, coordinated in strength and efficiency, could do a better job than a small number of oxen'. With this mind-set, instead of using one of the oil industry's conventional 'supercomputers', which housed 8 microprocessors, he'd find one that housed 64,000. The grand quandary was how to gain access to this many computers and how to connect them. His answer would lead him to a massive computer called the 'connection machine'.

This monstrous computer was made by a company called, 'Thinking Machines'. Problem was, it was so gargantuan, that no one thought it was able to be programmed. Dr. Phil found this machine at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. He got approval to use it and went about the task of setting the parameters for his experiment. Dr. Phil was delighted when the computer, with his new programming, began processing 3.1 billion calculations a second. To top that off, the program was not only able to locate oil reservoirs, it was able to tell how much oil was in the reservoir, the oil's flow of speed and the direction the oil was traveling in. Furthermore, this technology provided the template for connecting computers around the world to provide a scalable network through which to provide and share information. Sound familiar? In other words, DR. PHIL'S PROGRAM, MARKED THE FIRST CREATION OF WHAT YOU'RE USING RIGHT NOW TO READ THIS POST...WHICH IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB, A.K.A., THE INTERNET!!

AND THAT'S RIGHT...DR. PHIL CREATED IT!!

If this weren't enough, along with his phenomenal achievement, Dr. Phil succeeded in building the world's fastest computer. And, in 1989 he won the Gordon-Bell Prize, which is like the Nobel Prize in computation, for this feat.

Dr. Phil has also lent his genius to weather forecasting in regards to greenhouse gases and global warming. His basing computer methods on nature, like the working swarms of chickens and bees in honeycombs, still gives him the revolutionary insight that has every meteorologist heeding his methods. Dr. Phil gave his nature-based technologies the name of 'hyperball' computing. And this will undoubtedly continue to create innovations for generations to come.

Now, I remember one day, I was in a subway looking at a billboard that told the tale of a Black man being responsible for the creation of the 'ice cream scooper'. I don't know if this is true or not, but white supremacists put that crap billboard up to keep the Black Diaspora mired in shame thinking this was the only kind of thing our feeble minds could come up with creating.

What that sign was designed to do, was reinforce the reasons why I should hate Black people; based on the fact that we're less intelligent than whites, who I and everyone of my peers, was taught created everything worth creating. And seconds after, this billboard was suppose to make me hate myself for being Black. That's the game of white supremacy.

So, if you're a Black man or woman reading this, anytime you're made to feel like the only thing your people contributed to this world was slavery and Martin Luther King, remember Dr. Phil Emeagwali; and be inspired to know that the only thing whitey created was the patent office...everything else they stole from us.

SO LET ME SAY SUTEKH! (BLACK POWER)TO THE GOD/NETCHER/NEGUS/NAGA DR. PHIL EMEAGWALI!!!

Ma'at Hotep!

P.S.

Family...just wanted to let you know, I have a job conference I need to attend that requires me to travel. So if over the course of the next weeks, my posts are less consistent, this is why.

Also, in keeping with the theme of great Black inventors, if you'd like to know about brotha Henry T. Sampson and his invention of the 'Gamma Electric Cell', you can read about it here.

The Black Roots of white supremacy...


"The only thing white people created was the Patent Office, everything else they stole."
--Dr. Llaila Afrika

In my last post, 'Smashwords, Immeasurable odds and what makes my heart weep', I gave readers an account of my angst over whether or not I could accomplish my goals of spreading this particular doctrine, for lack of a better term, to the larger part of the Black Diaspora before I returned to the ancestors. 

And in that post, I also gave a short bio of one of my ingenious contemporary elders, Dr. Phil Emeagwali, and how his brilliance overcame an obstacle many deemed impossible (this being the programming of the american government's 'Connection Machine').

A day later, someone (I don't know the gender or ethnicity of this person) made a comment stating how the 'Black cubes' used for the hardware surrounding the Connection Machine were symbolically satanic; and this was what the machine really represented. Mind you, this was after I'd explained all the symbolism behind the Black cube as it pertained to our people. 

So this is a rebuttal to that person's comment. 

Now, the rock singer Marilyn Manson is a member of the Church of Satan that was headed by some guy named Anton LeVey. And he (Marilyn), said the main tenet of his church, or satanism period, was not to worship Lucifer, but to rally behind the concept of self preservation.

Now, this fits in with the philosophy of white fascists who know they are the world's minority. So they figure this concept gives them the ethical and moral right to do whatever is necessary to keep themselves around, no matter how dastardly the act. 

So when someone...or this commenter, said how the Black cube is a satanic symbol, even after I broke down what this means to the Black Diaspora, it tells me how relative this commenter's statement was...relatively white that is. 

Now, what this commenter is failing to see, is how white people have made a habit of taking something Black people have created, whether it's scientific, spiritual or cultural, and how they not only pervert it, but usually claim it as their own. 

For the record, I'd like to state one prerequisite necessary to being a 'Black Nationalist', or at least an independent thinking Black person; and that's this...at some point you have to make up your mind to stop taking whitey's interpretation of everything as the 'gospel truth', and do the research to see what your ancestors have to say on the subject. Ditto with the mythology of the Black cube. 

And if you think this concept is too far-fetched, let me tell you the REAL origins of perhaps the most universally corrupted of symbols, the 'german' swastika. 

Mind you, the name swastika literally breaks down into Schwarze, which means Black person in german, and 'tika' which means symbol. So, this literally is the 'Black symbol'.

If you take a look at the first picture in my header's triptych, you'll see what looks like a swastika embedded in a window. Now, you'd be inclined to think this must be the headquarters of some hyper-bigoted white organization, if you didn't know the 'swastika' is one of the world's oldest African symbols...moreover, this pic is from an African church in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Originally, this was a symbol of peace and harmony; until the inbreds got hold of it, and turned it into something negative. 

I also doubt the commenter knows that the original skinheads were Black. If you look at the second pic in my header's triptych it shows an advertisement for something called 'Skinhead Reggae' (if you put your cursor over my header, you can click onto and enlarge it to see more of its details). The original 'Skinheads' were brothas from Jamaica who were hanging out with the 'rudeboys' of the island. 

When the Black skinheads expatriated from Jamaica they went to places in the UK like London and Britain; there, the local white boys liked the ethos of the 'Skins', which basically involved being proud of your working class roots. The white boys were especially fond of their style of dress, i.e. the combat boots and suspenders like the original skinhead brotha's pic above. So again, the inbreds took our culture, perverted it and turned it into something negative. 

And if you look at the final pic in my header's triptych, you'll see a poster which depicts the dragon god 'Kukulcan'. 

Now, the Olmecs, who were a mighty Black nation ruling the areas we now know as Mexico, worshiped this deity...and this is where the pale-skinned degenerates came up with the name of the 'Ku Klux Klan'. And one of the higher designations in the Klan is one called the 'Grand Dragon'. Now, the Grand poobah or dragon of the Klan doesn't wear white sheets, he wears a 'dark green' robe.   

Let's see...the color dark green and white robes...where have I seen those before? To the left is a picture of the ancient African diety Ausar, the greeks/freaks call him osiris. Note Ausar's hood...look familiar? This again, is where whitey got the concept for the Klan's white robes and how the holder of the position of 'grand dragon' got outfitted in dark green. And the diety Ausar is also where christianity got the concept of the 'Holy Trinity', i.e. Jesus, Joseph and Mary. You have Ausar (the father), Aset (who the greeks call Isis, as mother) and Set (who our ancestors called 'Heru', as the son/sun; also 'Heru' is not only where christians dreampt up the idea for the character jesus christ, but the name 'Heru' is where we get the word 'Hero' from).

Now, I've said all that to say this, again, I don't know the ethnicity of the person who made a comment on my last post, but had I subscribed to their point of view...which is the symbolism of Black cubes is satanic, It would completely negate all of Dr. Phil's accomplishments in my mind and it would further reinforce why I should hate myself for being Black. 

Ya' got how white supremacy works on the subconscious now?

So, to all the Black people reading this, it's time we stop acting like infants suckling at the pale breast of white supremacy and grow the hell up to find out who and what our ancestors really were...and what they've contributed to this world. 

It's time for us to deactivate the white supremacist chip in our brains, so we can really get free!

Not just free to choose between prada or gucci, or to choose between 'Dancing with the stars' or 'American Idol', but free enough to see through the white supremacist sham called the western status quo. 

And the sooner we do this, the better.

Later...

Smashwords, Immeasurable odds and what makes my heart weep...


"It always seems impossible until it's done."
--Nelson Mandela

Recently, I put out a pair of e-books on the 'Smashwords' publishing website; and thanks to all who downloaded copies of these tomes by the way. I never thought they'd get above ten downloads each, but they've both far exceeded that. 

So one day while I was on the Smashwords site, I decided to take a look at its 'African-American fiction' thread, just to see what it looked like. And when I clicked on to it, I gotta' tell ya' people, I was deeply saddened. 

It seemed every other book told the story of some Black man and woman, with some white man or woman...and it was almost exclusively what made up the overwhelming majority of tomes on the thread. 

I just shook my head and thought, damn... 

Then, a real dour sensation came over me...and I thought, can I really affect a good amount of the Black Diaspora with my message before I'm no longer here? Or am I just engaged in some Black Nationalist 'pipe dream' that's got me trippin'?

That's when I remembered one of my contemporary elders, Dr. Phil Emeagwali...or as I call him, the REAL 'DR. PHIL'. 

Dr. Phil Emeagwali was born in Nigeria in 1954; and like many African children he dropped out of school at age fourteen 'cause his father couldn't afford to pay for his studies. But his father continued homeschooling him; and one of his techniques for teaching a young Phil was having him perform 100 math questions in an hour. 

Living in a war-torn country, Dr. Phil saw academics as a way out; so he studied hard and eventually got a scholarship to Oregon State University when he was 17. 

He arrived to the american University system in 1974, and left with four degrees, one of which was a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in Scientific Computing, the others were two Masters Degrees from George Washington University, and of course, the Bachelor's he got from Oregon U. 

His brilliance in the areas of math and computer science eventually led him to creating a method where a computer's microprocessors could 'talk' to six other microprocessors at the same time; this won him the 'Gordon Bell Prize' for building the world's fastest computer in 1989. 

His computers are now being used to forecast the weather and the effects of 'Global warming'; but for Dr. Phil...the Gordon Bell Prize was just the warm up. 

The united snakes...I mean states government has/had a multiprocessing 'super-computer' called the 'Connection Machine'; and it housed 65, 536 processors in total. It was so vast they said it couldn't be programmed. That was until Dr. Phil (pictured at the top) came up with his 'Hyperball computer technology' that did it. 

Dr. Phil basically programmed the 'Connection machine' (The Black cubes pictured besides him) to compute at a world-record setting pace of 3.1 billion calculations per second.

I'm definitely going to write a full post about Dr. Phil sometime in the near future, 'cause this wasn't even his grandest invention; but his example has served as my 'template' on how to overcome anything I deem impossible. When it comes to going about this, he's shown me how firstly, you should spiritually center yourself; secondly, you should laser-beam your focus, and finally, you should work like hell towards your goal. 

So, this took away the mental malaise I was momentarily mired in. 

And beyond this, let me tell you how it's no coincidence that the Black cubes of the 'Connection machine' acknowledge who our ancient ancestors truly are. 

Firstly, the Black cube in Islam called the 'Kabba stone' (pictured left), is what muslims circle around seven times to perform one of their most sacred rituals, called the 'Hajj'. And in the muslim faith, the 'Kabba' or the 'Black stone' is the symbol of God.    


The jewish 'Tefillin' (pictured right) are Black cubes placed on the head and various limbs of jewish practitioners to essentially get them 'closer to God' and their commitments towards him. Isn't this funny considering how jews don't care for Black people much. 


And in a more contemporary sense, the 'Mortar board', another example of a 'Black cube', symbolizes someone who's a graduate of the scholastic university's 'higher educational' system. But what it's really symbolizing or acknowledging, is the world's first university, the Sankore Madrasah, located in Timbuktu, Africa; and how ancient Black people are the creators of ALL the world's sciences. And you heard right...it's the WORLD'S FIRST UNIVERSITY. This is where the romans and the greeks/freaks got all their sciences from. Actually, the Sankore Madrasah was called an 'omniversity', 'cause again, ALL THE SCIENCES were housed under its roof. 

But don't take my word for this, go look this up!

Plus, check the name of the 'Mortar Board'...Moors, which we and our ancestors are, plus 'tar'; now, what color is tar? This is making a direct link right back to our people. 

And my apologizes for the digression.

So, the sights of 'African-American' novels with the themes of torrid inter-ethnic trysts, no longer gets me down; it just hardens my resolve to do this work. 

Now, one thing I've been experiencing left and right lately, are Black men and women saying how tired they are of each other, and how their preference for white mates and dates has everything to do with their previous bad experiences trying to date their own kind. 

But I think I've done a pretty good job of exposing exactly why, where and how the Black Diaspora are taught to obsess over white people...but one funny thing I've found is this; even if you're a Black man or woman hell bent on dating and marrying a white person, the meditations or mental exercises I mention in previous posts to get the Black Diaspora out of our conditioned self-hatred will still help you. 

Here's how...

Once you've done these exercises to the point where you're eradicating the white supremacist dogmas in your subconscious, you'll feel better about being Black; thus, when you see your being Black as a blessing instead of a curse, your confidence will increase. 

And once that happens, whether you know it or not, you'll attract a better quality of person towards you; whether their white, Black, purple or whatever.

Of course, that's not my intention, but that's what will inevitably happen. 

And as I've told several people who still ride the fence on whether they wanna' be down with a Black Nationalist doctrine or not...you have a choice to make. 

If you want to work in the best interest of your people by engaging in the meditations I've put forth, then do that; if not, ask yourself a question...why are you reading this Blog when you know what it's message will be?

Think about that...then make the right decision.

Sutekh!

The legend of Henry T. Sampson...(The Remix)


Henry T. Sampson was born in Jackson, Mississippi on April 22, 1934.

His father Henry T. Sampson Sr., was a former executive dean of Jackson State University and has a library wing named after him at Jackson State U.

Henry Jr. graduated from Lanier High School in Jackson, MS and went on to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta, before transferring to Purdue University in Indiana. He received a bachelor's degree in science at Purdue in 1956 and graduated with a Masters of Science in engineering from the University of California in 1961.

Sampson also received an MS in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1965 and his PHD in 1967.

He is the first Black person to earn a PHD in Nuclear Engineering in the u.s.


And, on July 6th, 1971, Henry was awarded a patent for his invention, the 'Gamma Electric Cell'. This patent's number is 3,591,860 and every Black person reading this should take note that the Gamma Electric Cell is where we get the term 'cell phone' from.

The Gamma Electric Cell provides and produces high voltage radio waves that transmit and receive audio signals. And it's inside every cell phone...including the one you own.


This device is what makes 'mobile' telecommunication possible. 

Not only that, this device is what makes mobile internet service possible in every tablet, cell phone and laptop computer...just like the one I'm using to create this post. 

But if the Black Diaspora depends on the white media to tell us about great Black inventors like Henry, we'll never hear about them. 


Now, besides Henry, another name you'll see tethered to this invention is George H. Miley. This is supposedly the white man who helped Henry build this invention. 

But after doing some research, it seems what George is most famous for is a process of 'cold fusion' that produces 'low-energy reactions' in thin metal films. While the Gamma Electric Cell produces much more powerful, high voltage radio waves. 


George was an assistant and associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; so I guess whites figure sheer proximity to Dr. Sampson would be enough to associate him with the invention of the Gamma Electric Cell.

This smacks of whitey not wanting to give credit to Henry for his creation. But I wouldn't expect anything more from those fair-skinned folks. They've gotta' keep us thinking we're inferior to them, or else we might see them for the icy-blue eyed degenerates they really are.

So anytime you see a story about Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerburg and you see how they're lauded for their brilliance, or if some white person is keen on telling you how their people have created everything, you can tell them about Dr. Sampson...and you can watch them shut them the hell up!


Another reason we should celebrate Dr. Sampson is HE'S STILL LIVING! So we should honor the man while he can still appreciate the accolades in his lifetime.

Later...
