Observation

Observation

Peace,

Love and Respect.

To any and all of whom it might concern, I am Abu Shahid, the Father's Brown Seed, an all wise true and living God and Elder of the Nation of Gods and Earths, walking and talking, not no mystery God, I'm seen and heard everywhere.

Anybody who doubts the authenticity of Wakeel's representation of me on myspace or my book can step to me, or question those around me and who I live among as to the authenticity of my word because I am the Tumtanger. Don't let my gray hairs fool you. My arms encircle you and my wings overshadow you, the breeze from one mere feather thereof will simply take your breath away but you can't see it because you're blinded from the glare of the stars in my crown. And I just wanted you to be a feather in my cap. You know who you are of whom I speak, because WE know who you are. I am that I am and I have a thousand I's.

Why are you trying to find fault amongst the righteous?

What God want you to have can't nobody keep from you, what God want to keep from you can't nobody give you, and if God keep something from you it's because he got something better for you.

It's better now but it will be greater later and the best is yet to come.

So don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle. Keep your eyes on the prize and the focus on yourself.

Don't hate, appreciate.

And that's peace,
Abu Shahid, the Elder

Rise and Fall

Peace my beloved Nation,

Love and Respect.

In response to the FAQs, I’m sending out this build for those amongst us who may have similar inclinations for understanding or confirmation dealing with political situations in which we as a Nation find ourselves in; in this dreadful day and time.

In all truth, we are a nation within a nation. We as members of the Nation of Gods and Earths are citizens of the United States of America and as such it behooves us to be involved in the growth and development of the United States as well as its trials and tribulations.

Even as in the beginning of our sojourn here in the wilderness of North America, Alphonso Shabazz, a Jet Black tribesman from the Tribe of Shabazz and one of the 4 and 20 Elders, was given the word by the all wise true and living God whose proper name is Allah to "prepare me a body" and he made it with a platinum blonde Greek female known as Baby Gee. His second try he was rewarded with our Prophet and Saviour Master Fard Muhammad aka "W.D. Fard" who was an understanding seed because Blacks couldn't buy tickets to America back then. He was specially prepared to come amongst us.

As history repeats itself we see in this day and time the replication of that historical event in God bringing together the multifaceted characteristics of our beloved President "B Rock” “The Brown Bomber” Obama. His multifaceted ethnicity gives him a unique perspective, the results of which we all shall see. As for now—it is what it is.

In this day and time when all prophecies are being fulfilled, we find ourselves in the unique position of being able to thrive in the shadow of this nation's decline. If there is anything that I remember that the Father once told me was that there is one universal law that never changes and that law is "everything must change." As the saying goes, "lead, follow or get out of the way" because anyone that views the need for us as a people to come together, you know that we are in a process of developing an economic platform where we can circulate the funds through our hands 7 or 8 times before “Ahab” and “Momma San” get their hands on it.

The United States of America has a population of approximately 306 million people, with the illegal aliens it borders on 400 million. The government has a bailout package of 800 billion dollars for the thief who stole the money in the first place. 400 million is less than half a billion. We, the American so-called Negro, the Original Nation, number approximately 39 million, they could give us a million dollars apiece and call it REPARATIONS and it still wouldn’t make a dent in the bailout package because they have been insulated by us being integrated and with the gentrification of America, Black communities are being infiltrated and overrun. You do the math, if we don't do something for ourselves ain't nobody going to do something for us. The closed mouth can't be fed. God is God to everybody. The crunch is coming, count on it. Believe it. They’re already feeling the pressure. General Motors is looking for a government bailout plan, they in financial trouble. Macy's and other department stores are laying off people by the thousands.

The dragon is loose and panic will soon be the cacophony that you hear in the streets. United we stand, divided we fall. Many are called but few are chosen. The chosen few is the choosing few. If they don't choose to be chose—they ain't chose.

In the ghetto only the strong survives—and the world is a ghetto. We, the Original Nation (the American so-called Negro) were once 2nd class citizens to the Caucasians. The Hispanics pushed us out of 2nd class into 3rd class. They done moved Spanish Harlem to 7th Avenue. The Hispanics pushed us out of 2nd class into 3rd class where the Orientals and OTMs (other than Mexicans) pushed us out of 3rd class into 4th class. I ask you, if we weren't getting anything in 2nd class, what do you think we are going to get in 4th class?

Even as the United States of America is a Nation, our Nation has many different states of mind. We must put aside the differences and build on our similarities so that we can rise while others fall.

What the Father has for you, can't nobody keep from you. What the Father keep from you, can't nobody give you. If the Father keeps something from you its because he has something better for you. Allah is the God and God is the Father and I am the Son.

So don't quit 5 minutes before the miracle. Keep your eyes on the prize and the focus on yourself.

And rise you mighty Nation, you can accomplish what you will.

Proper Education Always Corrects Errors,

And that's peace.

Positive vs. Negative

"Positive vs. Negative"

Peace to my beloved Nation of Gods and Earths, Love and Respect. The Universe is everything, the Sun, Moon and Stars. God's the Father and the Son, the Woman got to be the Moon, she can't be the Father and she can't be the Sun. The moon doesn't have any light of its own, it gets all its light from the sun. If your moon isn't reflecting your light then you possibly might be an eclipse.

We are a people who are hard-headed, stiff-necked, despised and rejected; easy to lead in the wrong direction and hard to lead into the right. We've been misguided, misdirected, misinformed, lied to, lied on and lied about. Living in a day and time and fulfillment of all prophecy, in desperation our poor people turn to God (Good Orderly Direction) seeking relief. We live in an addicted society where people suffer from all manner and types of addiction. The Dis-Ease of addiction is incurable. A disease from which there is no known cure—it always resurfaces and continues to progress. It can however be arrested at some point and then recovery is then possible.

We are a people who are basically dysfunctional with fractured shattered personalities (bipolar, dual diagnosed, schizophrenic) and emotionally unstable. The addicted personality thinks that negativity is positive. The therapeutic value of one recovering personality helping another is without parallel. Since the addicted personality thinks that negativity is positive we consequentially have THE NEGATIVE COMMITTEE—the fault finders and disbelievers. To quote the Quran, "And the disbelievers it is alike to them whether you warn them or warn them not, for they will not believe, for in their hearts it is a disease and Allah increases their disease but they know not." This quotation was written over 1400 years ago—long long long before AA or NA. AA was founded in 1935. NA was founded in 1953. It splintered off from AA because of the different psychological profiles. Alcoholics have a different mindset then junkies and junkies have a different mindset then crackheads. See for yourself.

So therefore, we have the NEGATIVE COMMITTEE running around causing trouble amongst the righteous being fault finders attacking differences instead of building on similarities. For the first time in man's entire history, a simple way has been proving itself in the lives of many recovering addicts. It is available to us all. This is a simple spiritual not religious program. It's spiritual because spirituality comes from God's Good Orderly Direction and religion comes from man.

Many of us tried medicine, psychiatry and religion and none of those methods was sufficient for us. Medicine is for the body and the pharmaceutical conglomerates have blanketed us with a myriad of drugs that are supposed to be the solutions to our problems; but whose side effects are more dangerous than the disease we taking the drug for in the first place. Psychiatry is supposed to be for the mind and there is a plethora of mental diseases plaguing us as a people. And Religion, when we observe the religions of the world today, we find that they are more problematic for the people then the spiritual principles they espouse.

Take for instance, the 10 commandments. All sound spiritual principles but broken and shattered worse than Humpty Dumpty. Christianity, the Catholic Church, the Mother Church, is supposed to be built upon the spiritual principles designed by Jesus who was king of the Jews. But if he was king of the Jews as he was a Jew, how come the church is in Italy instead of Jerusalem? So why ain't the Jews Christians or the Christians Jews? Then you have the Protestants, the Episcopalians, the Baptists and the Jehovah Witnesses. Which none of whom have witnessed Jehovah and allegedly are waiting for the rapture when 144,000 will rise spiritually above the dregs of society. For the length of time they have been in existence, they still haven't gotten their 144,000? And the Mormons who are polygamists with a bunch of child brides, 12 and 14 year old kids pregnant through incest and pedophilia. The Catholic Church is a monstrosity of organized pedophilia.

Islam, as taught by Arabs, is no better. They got 72 different sects; The Fatimas, the Ahmadiyya, the Hanifas, the Sunnis, the Shiites, the Junjaweed, Taliban, Al Qaeda, etc. They practice circumcision on females by cutting out their clitorises, a barbaric practice. And they are slaughtering (massacring) the Original Nation in Sudan, Rwanda, Darfur, murdering off the men and raping the women, yet they both (the killers and the killed) allegedly practice Islam, a religion of peace. The Sunnis and the Shiites are killing off each other in Iraq. The Taliban, Al Qaeda, are killing indiscriminately. Alas alack, it's a natural fact, there are wars and rumors of wars immersing our planet under a blanket of death, doom and destruction.

The Chinese are allies of the Pakistanis. The Buddhists who are pacifists are being slaughtered by the Chinese. Walmart is owned by the Chinese. Yet the stuff that they're marketing to us through Walmart is laced with poisons. The toys, baby formulas, toothpaste, etc., are filled with lead poison and other toxic chemicals, melanin and such. The Chinese own as much or as more of America than anybody else.

The Christians have as examples of their misbehavior, Jim Jones and his Kool Aid party in Guyana where he murdered all his followers. And also remember David Koreish, Waco, TX, Ruby Ridge and this last bunch they just found done there where the government had to rescue over 400 children from amongst them riddled with incest and pedophilia, outright child abuse.

In order to get to heaven you have to stand in line and wait for St. Peter to read your name off a list before you can get through the pearly gates and see Jesus who allegedly ascended to heaven, whole, soul and body, which is supposed to be in the clouds. The Hubble telescope in outer space has been unable to see the Mothership or even discern one angel feather. Muslims believe that if you die In the Name of Allah, you spring into paradise. If you die in Jihad, you will spring into paradise into the arms of 72 waiting virgins. Even though we know that Allah is not down with suicide. And at the rate of speed in quantity that people are dying in the Islamic World, being brutally murdered, slaughtered and massacred; everybody going to paradise getting 72 virgins? It must be some kind of orgy in paradise with all of them people. You know what I'm saying? So riddle me no religion.

Our Nation of Gods and Earths is not a religious program because we are God by nature and follow a path of truth, justice and righteousness. When the 85% turn to us, we know those amongst us who are enlightened, that these build powers as aforementioned are hard headed, stiff necked, misguided, misinformed, misdirected, and have been lied to, lied on and lied about. They don't come to us to be beaten up mentally or physically. They don't come to us to be preyed on by sexual predators. But they come to us seeking God's Good Orderly Direction. They need our tender loving care. God is Power and Force. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Everyone enlightened and educated into the science of 120 is not always necessarily qualified to bestow upon these poor refugees the kind of tender loving care that they really need and deserve.

In closing, as I've said before I say again, God is Power and Force. We have the Power, may the Force be with you.

Y'all better recognize.

Book Review: The Naked Truth - From the Goal Mind of Abu Shahid

Book Review: The Naked Truth - From the Goal Mind of Abu Shahid

Written by Maceo Renascido

Book Review: The Naked Truth- From the Goal Mind of Abu Shahid as told to and compiled by Wakeel Allah.

The Naked Truth, as in T.N.T.; high explosives. It’s an appropriate title for a book about the Elder of the Nation of Gods and Earths, the God known as Malik Abu Shahid El Shabazz Amiz Allah, or simply Abu Shahid or sometimes stylishly, the Tumtanger. For those not familiar, Abu Shahid’s story is entwined with the rise of the Nation, through pitfalls and adversity, both seem to move ever forwards reaching for new heights of clarity in the world that surrounds them, us. This book puts the God’s words into print and is a bold testament to the strength knowledge of self.

The book was compiled by Wakeel Allah for A-Team Publishing (www.ateampublishing.com) and consists of various interviews conducted with the Elder Abu Shahid during the earlier part of 2008 and a few blog postings by the God himself. This lends a personal touch to the words, as Abu Shahid injects his own flair into the proceedings, building with the God Wakeel on his own history and the Nation’s. Abu Shahid’s life story is as compelling and far-ranging as any, and the God reveals it candidly. From military service to membership in the Nation of Islam to walking alongside Allah the Father while teaching the youth, and later his struggles with chemical dependency, he touches on all.

Abu Shahid expounds on his experiences within the Nation and here is undoubtedly where some controversy may ensue. There are various accounts of what went on when and who was involved and things of that nature. The proverbial 'he said, he said' situation. I, myself, have heard and read differing accounts as to certain events and much of it is in the minute details, though some people have invariably altered, or grafted, certain accounts to fit their own needs, whatever they may be. The fact here is that Abu Shahid did in fact walk with Father Allah and has done his part to spread the knowledge of self to those most in need of it. I had expressed some trepidation in covering this work to my editor since I don't feel well-versed enough or qualified to comment on distinct aspects of what the God Abu Shahid builds on, especially in respect to the debatable portions of history. This endeavor is for others to engage in. And to those, I would highly recommend this book. It's true and living history from the mind (the Goal mind) of the Elder of the Nation and therefore, in my humble assesment, must be taken into account and openly discussed, as it apparently already has been. The God stands by what he says, saying literally that anyone contending something he says to step up and show and prove. It's difficult to discount the logic in that out of hand.

The aesthetic qualities are also worthwhile in the work. Abu Shahid's colorful recounting of events and his ability to break down aspects of what he builds on are enlightening as well as entertaining. He covers many contemporary subjects as does so with the air of an elder, which he is, of course. Some may disagree with a few of his assertions, as I did, however, those assertions are there to consider, of course, and utilize as we see fit in building our higher consciousness or to be right and exact. In this, he definitely holds his end of the deal. The God certainly stirs up thought and there doesn't seem to be enough of that around nowadays.

A bit disappointing was the absence of the God Wakeel Allah's precise prose as presented in his previous work, 'In the Name of Allah- A History of Clarence 13X and the Five Percenters' due to the fact that, as stated before, the bulk of the work consists of transcripts of interviews conducted by Wakeel for the A-Team Table Talk Series. It works, as Abu Shahid's words and wisdom come through unfiltered straight to the reader, however, as one who appreciates the presentation as well as the information, I was looking forward to a bit more in that area. My immediate assumption is that Wakeel felt that the God's words could stand alone in the telling of his story and his building on matters universal, and if so, I find no issue with that. If that's the case, then it shows a tremendous amount of respect towards someone who has earned it, and perhaps it's something we should all consider in dealing with all of our elders.

For new-borns or those that are interested in the Nation of Gods and Earths, this book is crucial reading. It gives an overview of the early days from a God who was there and who was responsible for the initial development of one of the most important (if not the most important) tenets of the Nation, the Supreme Mathematics. Read and learn, I'd recommend. For others that are well-versed, this will provide plenty of talking points for discussion and debate and I believe that's always a positive mental exercise. Have a look at this book and share it. Take the God's words and build on it, break it down, as only you can. It's a short read, however Abu Shahid provides much information and original thought (no pun intended, well, maybe) throughout. This book provides a unique look at the Nation of Gods and Earths that few others can.

Peace.

Peace,

Love and Respect to my beloved Nation of Gods and Earths,

It never ceased to amaze me and sometimes brings a little grief to me that some people are so narrow-minded and short-sighted that they can't find anything to do but throw rocks at me like crabs in a barrel trying to keep one from coming up, trying to stop somebody to do something for himself and others.

I'm reminded of what Shakespeare wrote in Marc Anthony's speech in Julius Cesar, "The good that men do is often interred with their bones 'tis the evil that lives .. them."

Because I bring this to your attention because since I been building on my myspace page the Negative Committee has been on its job. And we got a guy, I wanna be God who keeps pointing out at some point in my history where I identified myself as Peter Wheater Straw, the Devil's Son in Law, but he didn't put the whole quote down. And if he read my book and saw my pedigree he would know how I roll. Or if he watched my DVD, I, John, Me and the Father he would see me quote it myself.

But we have a bunch of nitwit numbskulls who have no knowledge of self or life of they own that want to run around finding fault with their own kind as opposed to a whole planet they could focus on, and the disrespect, the degradation, the destruction of our people is being carried out on a daily basis (Darfur, the Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia and across the East and West Coast of these United States of America). Everybody else is killing us and we are killing us. They are locking us up in privatized prisons all over the country earning a dollar a day manufacturing products for them to market—slavery, racism still in effect. And the poor misguided youth wants to cause trouble amongst the righteous by pointing fingers at me how I represent and identify myself and I am who I am, that I am and what I am which is Abu Shahid the Elder of the Nation of Gods and Earths.

He got so much to say about Peter Wheatstraw, what he going to say about the Tumtanger?

Ain't nothing to me but what you see, 3 pine combs on an old pine tree,
I know it's amazing but it's a natural fact,
I ain't a mack daddy, I'm a daddy mack.

I'm Jelly Roll John Charles, the mellow grinder from New York,
I'm Johnny Cyclops from where in court,

From the world famous hill where we cut shoot and kill,
Never worked and never will,Let you suckers pay the bills.

I had to learn to listen so I can listen to learn so I can learn to earn
because it's all about money in the land of milk and honey
and ain't a damn thing funny.

I'm trying to get paid, not laid, I need help, not aids.

I was rapping before rappers knew what Hip Hop was.
I'm the one and only ring baloney, Butt Dustin Daddy Rabbit

In many a humorous word they can always be found a thread of truth. Peter Wheater Straw the Devil's Son in Law, Lord High Sherriff of hell was just a colloquial way of bringing my spiritual presence Malik (Lord and Master) the angel in charge of the inhabitants of hell.

To the Build Powers and their unenlightened presence, you must know how to speak the language in order to be successful. Many of the prophets and kings and world movers and shakers had to travel in the land and meet the people at their own level and speak their language in order to be successful, you start at the bottom and rise to the top.

And as far as this wanna be God saying that someone from Medina stepped to me and intimidated me, he sadly mistaken. In 1970, I got flagged for a stick up and shootout with the police in Medina. I surely was nobody to be stepped to back then. And more recently at an affair they held in Medina, I believe it was the one for Dora and Willieen, when I went to bar to get me a cranberry and OJ. A God who was building there reached out and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me to validate a statement he was making about me and the Father arguing for 3 days and 3 nights over the mathematics because it was reported that I said Wisdom before knowledge. Any asshole can figure out it don't take three days and three nights to KNOW that knowledge supercedes belief and how you going to be wise if you don't know nothing.

But having done my research, I found as you can, that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad (T.H.E.M.) and Malcolm X had a penchant for saying "wisdom knowledge".

Alas I'm burning too much energy on an insignificant matter coming from a disturbed individual. But a good name is worth more than gold. And my name is Malik Abu Shahid Shamazz El Shabazz Amiz Allah.

As far as his concerns of my endeavors to employ others in my undertakings, were they to carry out their assignments, they would have been rewarded for what they done.

People work for the Post Office they don't complain about the government got them working to get their money. They work for Macy's and don't complain. But the minute a black man try to improve his condition and elevate his position by the designing and establishing economic platforms that self and others can grow and develop to their mutual benefit, there's always somebody who wants to rain on their parade, like crabs in a barrel. Don't want to let a brother get up.

Let my record show that I've been around for a lot more than a few years, I've been around from the door and have mastered sciences of my own which I share with those who are not adversarial or hostile towards me.

At my age, I've outlived most of my enemies, I'm glad to see that I developed some new ones because we're locked in mortal combat between God and the Devil. So if they not trying to add on to the positive science I be presenting, bringing to the table, then they need to get them some business and find somebody else to fuck with. If you down with God, you get the blessings. If you down with the Devil, you can go to hell.

Life is too short not to have fun and being a seasoned senior citizen and gentlemen of advanced age such as myself, they need to show and Elder (any Elder) some respect, instead of acting like they don't got no skidmarks in their draws.

All of the Original Nation is God by nature, that don't mean that they know how to be God.
So I leave you as I greeted you with Love and Respect, ever reminding of you keep your eyes on the prize and the focus on yourself, instead of living in the past.

Renew our history and rise up you mighty nation. You can accomplish what you will.

The Whale's Tale

Peace my beloved Nation of Gods and Earths,

Just as Positive Energy Always Creates Elevation
Proper Education Always Corrects Errors.

And when the student's ready, the teacher appears. And that's peace.

I say that in this opening by way of introduction to a line of thought that I've been dealing with of late. The NEGATIVE COMMITTEE is always on their job. Let the haters hate, when they should appreciate.

When I was a student (and the search for knowledge is from the cradle to the grave), I encountered a teacher who told me a story and the similarity of this particular story runs parallel to another story often told. These two stories running on parallel lines are the tales of a whale and a lion.

The reason that my focus is on the relationship of these stories and the NEGATIVE COMMITTEE is because this is the kind of slander and defamation being put out that is being designed to assassinate the character and cause trouble amongst the righteous.

For example, this is what one of the internet rangers on the NEGATIVE COMMITTEE had to say:

"Recently the DEVIATE WAKEEL (WAC=corny) (EEL=a slithery black SNAKE) advertised an upcoming book on a SO CALLED elder of the 5% nation by the name of ABU SHAHID...This deviate aligns himself with MUSLIMS that had a relationship with the FATHER ALLAH, such as…ABU SHAHID, who just started coming back around a few years ago, he introduced himself as PEETY WHEAT STRAW THE DEVILS SON IN LAW at a history parliament....ABU SHAHID is not an elder of the 5% nation, he and a few others left the mosque with the FATHER, B.U.T. he was never a member of ALLAHS 5% nation, he and many others went back to the mosque because they assumed the 5% nation would fall when ALLAH was assassinated…so now, all those who ran back to the mosque are coming out of the woodwork claiming to be elders and first borns, i have never seen any reflections of ABU SHAHID with the FATHER, JUSTICE, THE FIRST NINE BORN, OR THE MEDINA FIRST BORN...." [end quote]


See? That's what I'm talking about. Because they know nothing about me or the life I lived at the time as an urban guerilla. And as an urban guerilla I wasn't trying to have my picture taken with anybody anytime anywhere anyhow. I was trying to get ahead surviving in a city that had no heart. I had a number business; and when heroin showed up I had a heroin business. Not to mention directing traffic when other urban guerillas came into my cipher. They don't know about me and the Father or when we went hunting trying to get ahead—nor the trials and tribulations we shared together. But then, they were kids then, so what do they know? And because I wasn't standing on the corner with them, they have to fabricate what they think they know about me and put it on what a dead man told them that another dead man told them. But I am alive and well and not a mystery God—I'm seen and heard everywhere. So we have the Negative Committee in effect, trying to cause trouble amongst the righteous as opposed to the bright light that comes from the Son. And as opposed to the dark side, check out some of the SUNLIGHT that shines on me:

"I must express my IMMENSE LOVE for Abu Shahid Allah, Firstborn & you for your outstanding contribution to our NGE."

"Shahid was a mathematical genius and a master of tricknology. He was shrewd, cunning and conniving. He kept a trick up his sleeve or some scheme…"

"All in All Shahid's book is full of jewels for those that can tell the difference between real gold and fool's gold. I laughed quite a bit and remembered much more and filled in some gaps. I even read sections of the book to some 85ers and they recognized the truth therein…"


These are the reasons that caused me to think of the stories that I had once been told.

For instance—"The Whales Tale." The whale is a dominant creature whom others depend upon for survival. But those dependent upon the whale can't descend with it into the darkness and the depths (where sunlight no longer exists) rarely seen by man. So they have no knowledge of what exists beyond their capacity to comprehend the darkness as the whale descends deeper and deeper into the depths. It is only when the whale resurfaces (rising to the top) that they set up their clamor to feast again—and that's a whale of a tale.

On a parallel level as opposed to water and on dry land—we have the LION KING. You all know the story about the Lion King. When he was born, the monkey held him up and told him, "There's nothing in the universe greater than you." But it was one from among his own kind that set up and brought about the destruction and death of the Father. It was another lion, one like unto his own self but one with an evil heart and a devious mind who was followed by the jackals or the hyenas (the evil Lion's NEGATIVE COMMITTEE and support group). The science on the NEGATIVE COMMITTEE is simply that their personality thinks that negativity is positive so they think they know how to do wrong right. And it was their own evil and misguided ways that brought about their downfall and disgrace while the LION KING matured in spite of the negativity.

Even as a hound dog howls at the moon and the moon is not concerned. Just as the wind blows on the mountain and the mountain does not move.

I have done no more than others before me have done, biblically, traditionally and realistically. Biblically, Abraham, Moses and Joseph were all uprooted and had to find new ways of life to seek relief from their oppression and persecution. Traditionally, it is said that Genghis Khan and the Prophet Muhammad had to run for their lives. Realistically, even as Muhammad went from Mecca to Medina, Elijah Muhammad went from Detroit to Chicago and the Father went from New York to Brooklyn, (Mecca and Medina). The Masons have a Mecca mosque in Detroit and a Medina mosque in Chicago. So we all know where the science of life comes from and the fact of the matter is that I live here in my secondary hometown that has become my primary hometown because I have roots in this town: 2 daughters, 3 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.

I got a son in New York, whose momma's boy. So where is a better place for me than here with Daddy's girls where they call me among other things "Poppaloppa." And I laugh with joy as I recognize and don't feed the weeds. There is a so-called doctor who calls me "Johnny Appleseed" which I can relate to because everywhere I've gone—there were Gods there when I left. And God is God to everybody. But that's another story.

So I leave you as I greeted you ever reminding you that to put aside the differences and build on the similarities and join on to your own kind because a house divided against itself cannot stand. And with the whole world pressing down upon us I'm quite sure that they can find more suitable targets to blast their venom on besides a poor little old man like me. I mean is that what they want? The reputation of beating up on a poor blind toothless old man? When in fact, the reality is that we should put aside our differences and come together in the decline of one nation and the rise of another strong Black mighty nation. For after all, we are family.

"Rise up you mighty Nation."

Just as Positive Energy Always Creates Elevation

And that's peace.

Love and Respect,
Abu Shahid, The Elder of the Nation of Gods and Earths
