Dr. Tony Martin Books & Biography
Tony Martin Speaks on Marcus Garvey pt.1
Professor Tony Martin The Slave Trade
Tony Martin was a highly principled, uncompromising historian for the enlightenment, and progress of African people. My concern is was this brother’s death actually natural. Remember other African greats as Kwame Nkrumah, Martin Luther King, Frantz Fanon, Malcom X, Khalid Abdullah Muhammad, and Stokely Carmichael were outright assassinated; or died under questionable circumstances. The current president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, is suffering from cancer that he questions the natural origins of. Brother Tony was extremely hated by many powerful enemies of African people.
I am so sorry to learn that Professor Tony Martin has died and at such a young age. His lecture on the Judaic role in the Black African trans-Atlantic slave trade, which I watched first on video.google some years ago and several times since including yesterday was an enormous eye opener for me and I feel grateful for this.
He suffered at the hands of an organized Judaic power octopus which sought to harrie, distract, intimidate, slander, drain his energies and time in order to silence his authoritative inclusion of the facts of the major role Jews played in every aspect of the Black slave trade.
What struck me in my mid 50’s, having grown up in Massachusetts and having visited Newport RI about five times, was the awesome power and persistent focus it must have taken to erase this information from history textbooks, mass media and common knowledge for several generations.
Though certainly aware of the slave trade historically, I had never heard nor read even a hint that a massive triangular slave operation had been centered in colonial Newport RI and largely operated by Jews! Jews who also owned 22 distilleries to make rum used to buy the Black folk on the African coast.
Dr. Martin’s book THE JEWISH ONSLAUGHT in large part explicated how this censorship of selected aspects of history is vigorously and pitilessly enforced today.
Dr. Martin has left us too soon.
I hope another brave historian will rise to take his place and carry the torch of historical truth for it is more important than one might casually assume; and more hard to come-by. Without an accurate understanding of our history, free of censorship by powerful elites, free of falsification, we, individually and collectively, are hobbled in our ability to understand our society and our world,; we are therefore rendered unable to learn true lessons from our collective past and unable to avoid repeating dreadful errors over and over again.
