In this racially-fractured society, in which we can agree on nothing of substance, nothing that might help the nation move forward, or, to stretch this from the ridiculous to the sublime, we are a people so deeply divided that we shall never find ourselves on the same side of a battle-line should some army of the insane decide to conquer Trinidad and Tobago by force, readers might justifiably ask who in their “right mind” would want to own, rule or otherwise lay claim to the cussed country?
Only mad people might have an interest in such misadventure. In the first month, and every month thereafter, they will have to find close to one billion dollars to meet the salaries and allowances of public sector employees, most of whom are “lochos”, or paid idlers.
Another billion dollars or thereabouts will be required, monthly again, for “transfers and subsidies”—which tells you that you are paying huge gangs of artful dodgers who have fine-tuned the art of pretending to work on weekends and public holidays, and who make enough money in one or two such days that exceed their normal weekly wages, hence they can stay at home on regular work-days “pulling bulls” or engaged in other “hustles”.
The senior officers at these utilities and agencies excel in managing their bank accounts and “investments”, which invariably include gambling syndicates at their workplaces. Their wages and salaries, incentives and bonuses, are guaranteed by ironclad agreements between their unions and management.
Fools who would want to achieve power by any means necessary—they may be assessing the “Haiti model” for all we know, hardly think of other obligations they would encounter, such as debt servicing. As it stands now, T&T is in debt to the tune of somewhere around $130 billion and increasing by Covid-like quanta. How and where we find the money to repay it is anybody’s guess.
Besides the minor woes I have presented above to any would-be power-seeker, there are more challenging issues. I have used hyperboles to dramatise the state of politics in this country. But reality is not far from the grim pictures I have painted. Everybody knows that race is the ten-tonne gorilla in the room. Race, and, I insist on adding complexion, determine the axis of power in T&T, and have done so for much longer than we care to admit. Each tribe wants its own, as signalled by a not-so-secretive twist of the hair, to be in charge of his or her government.
Think about it—and be brutally honest when you answer, to your conscience, I submit, not for acceptance by your peers in public, just you and Conscience answering. Will you be comfortable, if you were a PNM supporter, with an Indian leading your party? Before you fire off a barrage of cuss-words at me, or even contemplate beating me to near-death for posing this… let’s say, uncomfortable question, consider the ramifications.
I pose the same question to UNC supporters, to the Indo-Trinidadian population: will you rally behind an Afro-Trini leader going into an election?
However much each side may want to dismiss this gorilla I have deliberately planted in the power-equation, he is here, he is conspicuous, and he is a non-compromising beast. Don’t you dare imply dishonourable motives to my blunt question. As a 24-year-young Indo-lieutenant in the Regiment, I led close to 300 overwhelmingly Afro-Trinidadian soldiers in a rebellion against a mainly Afro-high-command, and a government led by the revered Dr Eric Williams back in 1970. Not once during the ten days we held Teteron Barracks did I feel threatened because I was Indian, or did the men who stood with me feel uncomfortable because of anyone’s race.
So I ask again: will you, Indian, you, African, line up with enthusiasm behind a leader of your party of another race, and do your duty to your country, vote into office as Prime Minister the best candidate who happens to be a good man or woman of another race?
Having planted the race-gorilla in the room, let me cut your escape hatches. Indians did vote for Ray Robinson as PM in 1986, but that was in a coalition arrangement. As soon as Basdeo Panday walked with his race-marbles, almost every other Indian followed him.
And yes, a fair number of Afro- and other non-Indian Trinis voted for the Kamla Persad-Bissessar PP coalition in 2010. But that collapsed when the Indian overlords in influential positions disgusted the non-Indian “floating voters” with their crass racism.
Until people, whatever their race or complexion or ethnicity, see each other as fellow human beings who are judged by their character, not the texture of their hair or colour of skin, this country will remain a wasteland of unrealised potential.
True dat
“I pose the same question to UNC supporters, to the Indo-Trinidadian population: will you rally behind an Afro-Trini leader going into an election?”
Doesn’t matter, the PNM being an urbanized party controls the media, the police, the DPP, the EBC. They refused the deputies upon Eric passing when they had the chance, Kamal and Errol were treated like Pakis. They could not afford an Indo Trini PM because the PNM is an African party.
The support for the PNM used to be the Indo Muslims and Indo Presbyterians. So in answer to your question yes Indians have supported the PNM and by extension Afro Trini leaders. The PNM gave them all a good kick, upon the passing of Eric, chach and family was alienated from the party they support and brought into power. Errol and Kamal was embraced by the PP.
Race and racism was introduced by the PNM. They used every means possible to keep Indians out of power, despite the fact that many were voting for them.

Inconvenient why don’t you copy and paste some of the great achievements of Africanas. Instead your sick and pro Hindu mindset continues to stir curiosity about Hindus. You should move to India, only thing they will look at you and say you belong to the demon race…the ravan (demon king) is suppose to control people like you., “ Ravana was a demon king of the island Lanka and the chief antagonist in the Hindu epic Ramayana and its adaptations. In the Ramayana, Ravana is described to be the eldest son of sage Vishrava and Rakshasi Kaikeshi”. And stop copy and pasting the same thing over and over.
When you lead the rebellion in 1970, did you really understand what Black Power meant?
Was your interpretation of Black Power at age 24 the same as the hundreds of Black soldiers you were leading?
The Caribbean, T&T included has always been interpreted as the dominion of people of African descent. They forgot about the Caribs and Arawaks?
It is a widely held belief that Indians are an immigrant group, relatively newly arrived and recalcitrant ,too willing to hold on to their culture and language.
Even today Indians are viewed in the same way, especially by people from Port of Spain, many of whom have not ever been south of the Caroni.
Indians are an immigrant group! They had emigration passes, luggage and legal human rights that africans fought for hundreds of years to gain! they are on record! African Trinidadians came to trinidad in 1517 from spain, as SUB-HUMAN cargo in chains, without clothes or luggage!
African arrival 1517 (enslaved)
Indian arrival 1845 (Free emigrants, 5 year PAID contract +Land )
MOST Indians ARE unwilling to let go of mother india’s racist, hateful, scornful influence, and integrate with africans whom they believe are genetically, culturally and religiously inferior! And many indians “south of the caroni” , have never been to POS and environs, but boastfully denigrate them in the media and on public platforms.
Tman typifies Hypocrite, hostile AND Recalcitrant!
Inconvenient Africans are an immigrant group. Rowley found his tribe in Ghana, Ashanti. The most common ethnic groups of the enslaved Africans in Trinidad and Tobago were Igbo, Kongo, Ibibio and Malinke people.
No African would have made it to Trinidad had it not been for India. In fact historically Inconvenient, Columbus started his journey to India and when he arrived in the Caribbean saw the people thought he had arrived in India and called the natives Indians.
We are all descendants of immigrants. The natives are the Caribs, Arawaks, Titanos.
I know that you’re simply a racist, liar, imbecile and troll, but it isn’t an excuse for ignorance.
Slaves weren’t immigrants. They were property.

Inconvenient:
In the light of the foregoing links you cite, you may want to look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyfEMY-ejv4 . This YouTube video speaks of a Negro presence in the Americas long before Columbus, and also suggests the hypothesis that mongloid presence in the Americas at the time of Columbus’ arrival could be accounted for by the fact of Mongolian invasion of the Americas in the thirteenth century AD. They waste a lot of time beating around the bush, and trying to be cute about it, but stick with it, they make a serious point.
Scripture attests to Israelite (therefore Negro) scattering to the Americas long before that, ca. 720 BC (Assyrian captivity) (see 2 Esdras 13:40-45) and again ca. 606 BC (Babylonian captivity) (see Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi) when various Israelite branches were broken off and guided across. Isaiah 18:2 also implies sea-faring communication to Israelite colonies in the Americas. The Olmec stone heads in Mexico are clear surviving evidence of such presence. The Scriptural evidence makes it clear that these were not vaguely “African” or vaguely “black”, but definitely Israelite, or NEGRO. As a proud Negro I have a stake in the matter, in any case a duty to hold to my scriptural brief here on this blog.
In a previous recent contribution (ADDENDUM 1) I referenced a book by John Ranking detailing the history of Mongol invasion of the Americas. The precise reference is as follows:
Ranking, John. (1827), Historical Researches on the Conquest of Peru, Mexico, Bogota, Natchez, and Talomeco, in the Thirteenth Century, by the Mongols. Forgotten Books.
This book is available online in pdf and ebook versions.
The author sought valiant to dismiss the idea that the indigenes of the Americas could have been Negro. He well established the case for Mongol/Chinese invasion, but as there were indigenes present before the coming of the Khans, his book as such could shed little light on the people that were here first. Those people were Negro, as I assert earlier citing some of the Scriptural support for that knowledge.
Certainly, we know at least since Ivan van Sertima (1979), They Came before Columbus, which you also cite, that there were many negroid types encountered in the Americas by Columbus and the conquistadors when they came in the 15th century. There also were mongloid types present. But the history as told has distorted the truth by suggesting that the mongloids were first, and the Negro came later, post-Columbus, and only via the slave trade. That is why van Sertima’s findings were so astonishing — the idea that negroid types were present before Columbus. But facts are stubborn things.
See the YouTube channel by one Kurimeo for masses of evidence in written accounts, including drawings, word portraits, early photographs, etc. It is literally evidence by the truckload there is so much of it. van Sertima had shown us only a glimpse, the most compelling being the giant Olmec stone heads found in Mexico, and referenced in the links you provide. The Garifuna people of St. Vincent and Belize (Moskito coast) today are living testimony — I have a cousin who was married to one –, as are various tribes of North America today variously classed as “black”, “African American” or “Negro”, the last being out of fashion. The Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans, LA are a good example. They stoutly maintain that their ancestors did not come over by slave ship, but indeed came over long before Columbus. I lived in NOLA for a while, so I met some of them. There are many other examples, up and down the eastern seaboard of the Americas, e.g. the Mosewatuset (I knew one beautiful sister from that tribe and she schooled me; they remember who they are, and the coming of the Mayflower), Washitaw, Wampanoag just to name a few.
History and Scripture are silent as to a mongoloid presence until the aforementioned invasion of the people of Genghis Khan in the 13th century AD. That suffices to explain the range of phenotypes encountered by the Spanish conquistadors when they came, lately, invading in the 16th century. They encountered some still unmixed negroid types, as well as many mongloid-negroid mixed types, with perhaps some very few close to a pure mongloid type.
The mixing when it took place was by conquest in some cases. The Mongolian invasion succeeded as conquest among the Aztecs (Mexico) and Incas (Peru) but not among the Mayas (Guatemala, Central America). Thus the conquering Mongolians inserted a new (mongloid) paternal seedline as they mated with the prinforcesses of the original Negro royal households. That new royal Inca line in the case of Peru was still very dark skinned, to judge from available portraits. That established in Mexico was more UD-SHACHOR (red-skinned).
In any case, mongloid seedline (mostly male, few females came with the invading force, and little continuing trade was established with the Mongolian/Chinese homeland) was established in the Americas, and mixed with the original negroid host.
The paternal inheritance acquired significance. The Arawak would have been Israelite as to paternal seedline. Hence my blithe claim in an earlier blog that they were our kin-folk, albeit with greater or lesser mongloid mix. They were NAGO people by paternal seedline — Israelite, or people from the same root — Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — as NEGA DEOD (king David).
In contrast, the Caribs were of mongloid paternal seedline, and warred with the Arawak. More properly, they call themselves KALI-NAGO, as I mentioned in a previous post. The “Cari-” of Carib is merely a phonetic corruption of KALI, with K->C, and L->R (mongloids, also Israelites, often interchange these two consonants). The trailing “b” of Carib could also easily be understood as phonetic linguistic tic. The NAGO of KALI-NAGO would have been dropped obviously. But the KALINAGO people of St. Vincent keep it still.
Note in the original Hebrew, KALI comprises just the two consonants, CHETH.LAMED. The pictograph of the paleo-Hebrew letter CHETH is the outside of a tent. That for LAMED is for an ox-goad, essentially a long stick. So that KALI-NAGO carries the pictographic connotation of one standing outside the tent — in this case that of the NAGO people proper — but close enough to touch it with a pole. In other words, the two are related as suggested by that picture. They are not NAGO, but KALINAGO.
The word NAGO itself is just two Hebrew letters NUN.GHAH. NUN is the son or seed in its paleo-Hebrew pictograph. GHAH is an eye. Hence the son watched over. This is the idea of the “apple of the most High’s eye” as applied to David. (Note: modern Hebrew appears to hide, deliberately, this meaning since the letter GHAH is now ambiguous in its meaning. That’s an involved investigation, too much for this blog).
I say all of that to conclude with this. The whole of the Americas is Israelite “promised lands”. The Israelites that were guided over here came under the covenant that they would abide by the Original Holy Covenant, otherwise they would be swept off, as we had been from the original Holy Land. The Mongolians came, sent by the most High, to do just that. Later the conquistadors came, to do the same thing. By sword, pestilence, and beast (dogs of war) that is what happened to the Arawak, Tainos, Boriqueno, Ciboney, and etc. That is why the mongloid element of the original negroid indigenes of the Americas could appear as dominant as it is. But we were here first, and by many centuries. The catch is that the same covenant applies to the invaders. It is the turn now of the invaders to be swept off the land, while a righteous remnant of Jacob will be raised back up to the dominion. The most High, IYEHAWAH has already raised His hand in judgment, and the heathen, of whatever persuasion, that came here as an invasive species, contemptuous of the most High and His law, are now being swept off the land. Covid is only a start. The hand will be especially heavy on those who seek to enslave the NAGO people that survive and remain, or that were brought here to serve the prophesied four hundred years of affliction through servitude (Genesis 15:13-14). That bitter cup is now passing to the enemies of the Negro and of the most High. Therefore, the question who is an immigrant is moot. The land, it belongs to us, by decree of the most High.
These people have no idea yet what they’re dealing with…
Shalom.

Once again Raff, you have hit the nail on the head in terms of how we exist in the twin island of Trinidad and Tobago. Lately, I have been hinting at the same thing, that to a large degree takes away so much from who and what we can be, if we to try being Trinbagonians. There is potential to raising to greater heights if we were to concentrate strictly our abilities, rather than the racial preoccupation with entitlement. Our Parliament is hardly a place or event we can look up to as a mantle of civility, there, the most lethal injections of race is displayed and fed for consumption. There it seems, that our representatives are better identified by their race and religion than the content of their abilities. You were spot on, in terms of how you were looked upon in the Army. Being the only Indian officer was just a point of talk but you adjusted more on being an Army Officer than being an Indian officer in the Army. Being an army officer adjusting to the proper norms and behavior, allowed race to be muted, so we all knew you as Raffique Shah and not the Indian officer whose name is Raffique Shah.
The late Sat Maharaj did more to advance the cause of racism than any individual I know except Ranjit Kumar. In his time (Kumar) the calypsonians fed on his heated racial antagonisms with such lyrics as “Vote Jairam aha, vote Seeram aha, vote Beharry aha, apanjat, no vote the Kerolney (creole)”. There is another ingredient that feeds the racist thirst with intensity that fuels hate. That ingredient is power on the part of the Indian community. They feel confident that they have surpassed the African in wealth, education, economic prowess, profession ability and political advancement. This stress creates anxiety on their part, so much so, that they might be unwilling to wait thru the constitutional process for political gains. Indian political anxieties are pronounced in many different ways. It is no wonder that so many of them expose their racist tendencies in public, much to their dismay. While agencies such as the council of churches were put together to lessen these anxieties. These agencies in themselves exacerbate the topics to further divide us. There is no medium where either African or Indian can ascend to for mediation. The white European community has diminished acceptance from pre-independence levels where they enjoyed the power to negotiate. The white community is mostly of Asiatic and Arabic stock without the advantage of holding political power, even though they enjoy economic power.
While we avoided the classification for many years, we are now in the same category as Fiji, Guyana, Suriname, Seychelles and Mauritius. Radicalism is the only path forward because as noticed on this blog, name calling is on the rise and nothing good can come out of this.
“The late Sat Maharaj did more to advance the cause of racism than any individual I know except Ranjit Kumar”—-Kian
Mr Maharaj held no position to promote race, he was not a political leader, nor did he sought to exclude black children from SDMS school. I attended one of the primary schools and there were black children in that school. Yes he did make some comments that was ignorant and most agreed it was better for him to keep quiet. But to say he did more to advance racism is a stretch, most Indians ignored what he said as the ranting of an old man.
ALL SCHOOLS MUST ALLOW ALL RACES TO QUALIFY FOR STATE FUNDING! oviously, Sat Maharaj tried to have a token, cherry picked few to qualify.
The other issue is the psychological abuse and brainwashing these “black” children are subjected to in a religion that holds “black” people in contempt.

Kian,
Which calypso and calypsonian’s lyrics were you citing regarding ranjit kumar? Please state
Inconvenient, if I could write the lyrics into melody for you I will because it is in an earlier era that was in the fifties. I was a child then and calypsonian names did not stick but melodies definitely did. Maybe it can be found in Youtube if we use the right search words.
Understood. Thank You!
btw, do you realize that songs like that the UNC labelled as “racist calypsos”, and used that to destroy kaiso?
The varna (“caste”) mentality, is extremely intolerant of confrontantion regarding it’s racism , or criticism in general from those it deems “inferior” (africans).
They destroyed kaiso !
No they did not destroy calypso. Calypso is still the best art form that we have going BUT there is an element among the African population that believes in ‘EQUITY’.
A word constantly used by hindus to augment their numbers in areas that they see themselves as weak in participation. There is an element in the Indian community who saw Crocro as a threat and they used every means possible to diminish its effectiveness. Calypsonians (chasing the money and not the art) concentrated on soca, thereby leaving a void in the development of calypso. King Austin “Progress”, Crazy’s “In Time To Come”, Sparrow’s “Jean and Dinah”
and “Slave” stand out as to why calypso should not be abandoned. Don’t expect Indians to support that. It is an African art form that represents part of our resultant culture due to our misplacement from Africa. It is foolish on the part of those who are capable to ignore it.
I accept the correction. Well said. However, they did create doubt and lack of self esteem in performing hard hitting commentary kaiso in the youth with gaslighting; fake accusations of racism and the fake result of phantom drops in the never existent significant indian audience at kaiso tents.
Excellent yoruba! Thank you!

Inconvenient:
Amazing that you keep on top of so many things on this topic… Thanks again…
I do remember seeing a few years ago that the Indians have taken over the Univ of KwaZulu Natal in a way similar to how they have taken over UWI here. But I’m sure I couldn’t find the source again if I tried, although I’m sure Google might throw up lots of near matches…
What though I would draw to your attention and that of the group is that this is consistent with what is prophesied in Scripture.
Isaiah 51:22-23. “Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.”
We the Negro/Bantu are those that “[have] laid [our] body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over”. As here in T&T, so too in KwaZulu Natal, and South Africa more broadly. As in S.A, so too in Fiji, Guyana, Uganda, etc.
“Them that went over” is not per se nor only “Indian”. The term “Indian” is a misnomer of identity, just as is the term “African”. So too are the terms “white” and “black” when used as identity markers. These are all terms calculated by the guilty to hide true biblical identity, and in that way to keep hidden also, the relevance of Scripture.
When the true, invariant, terms of identity are applied to victim and victimizer alike, all becomes clear. The prophetic script is playing itself out, unerringly. It is a source of comfort, because the prophecy also promises a comeuppance for the victimizer, as we see here promised: “I will take the cup of trembling out of thine hand (that of the Negro/Bantu victim) … but I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee (the victimizer, in this case “Indian”).
The relevant invariant terms of identity pertain to seedline, specifically to paternal seedline. We the Negro/Bantu, by whatever other term of ascription — skin color, land of sojourn, derogatory or other epithet of changing fashion — are of the invariant paternal seedline of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is our true and unchanging identity. We are under a Holy Covenant with the most High, Our forefathers violated that Covenant. Most especially we violated the law against spiritual adultery by worshiping and whoring after other gods that let us “do as thou wilt” rather than observe the severe and austere law laid down by the most High, suitable for gods in training. The punishment for violation was being made to drink from the aforesaid cup of trembling and affliction…. but only for a time. Our loving father sought to punish us that we would learn our lesson well. We are the returned spirits of our own forefathers, come back to rue earlier iniquity, and now in this last generation, to be redeemed (some of us), or to be condemned having failed to “learn our lessons”.
The victimizer also has an invariant of identity. On the same basis of paternal seedline, we know the chief of them to be of the line of Abraham, Isaac, and Esau/Edom. They are the Edomites, who come today in various guises. The indo-Aryan are a branch of that family tree. as are the so-called “white man”, though not all. The Edomites are in confederacy with the Ishmaelites, those of the invariant seedline, Abraham, Ishmael through the latter’s 12 sons that today are at the center of the Arab nations, further amplified by those six sons of Abraham that came through his second wife Keturah, and also settled in the Arabian peninsula.
They are not the only ones. The matter is not so much complex, as involved. It becomes even more involved when the invariant of identity is lost. That is what happened to us when we went into captivity. We lost our identity. We became the “hidden ones”. For all our sworn enemies conspired to keep that identity as the Chosen ones of the most High hidden from us. That list of enemies is given to us in Scripture. They are the aforementioned Edomites, Ishmaelites, other near-kin descendants of Abraham or his nephew, Lot, and included various Hamitic peoples such as the (original) Philistines who were related to the Egyptians, and people of Tyre (original people of the Levant). The matter became more complex because these enemies, originally negroid in appearance, became mixed with fallen-angel seedlines, under which they became depigmented to varying degrees, and their hair texture became lank (straight, or soft for those that impute to that some false merit). And like the fallen angel seedline with which they became polluted, they became an invasive species. Thinking themselves superior to mere “earth-man”, they took over the lands of those peoples with whom they mixed, changing the physiognomy over time. It is from this process that came the “white” Medes, Medo-Persians, Greeks, Romans and their successors. The Mongolians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and other far-Eastern peoples would have lightened in skin color by a similar process. There is Scriptural evidence to suggest that these far-eastern peoples descend originally from Moab and Ammon, the sons of Lot from his own daughters, hence mongloid as to the appearance of the eyes and extreme lankness of hair texture.
Psalms 83:1-8. “Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For,lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
5 that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
7 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.”
The point is that the “enemies” of God, and of His “hidden ones”, are identified by their invariant of identity — paternal seedline — just as we the “hidden ones” may likewise now be identified. We the hidden ones would be made to lose our identity — including names, culture, and religion. We were forbidden from learning to read, and specifically not the so-called Bible. And even the latter — let alone the “Slave Bible”, look it up — was carefully put together to leave out crucial information that made it that much more difficult to piece together the real story that explains not only our enslavement, but also continuing depredation post-slavery by such as now call themselves “Indian”.
Well they the so-called Indian are indo-Aryan Edomite, not even really Indian, because they went into India as an invasive species and there took over the land from the true indigenes — the Elamite Tamils, the Hamitic Kushites and others. (The Andamanese — Israelite like the Negro/Bantu –would have come later, bypassing the already occupied areas to go where previously “never man dwelt”, (ca. 700 BC); 2 Esdras 13:40-45; to relative isolation on those islands, where now they are no longer so isolated. Btw, estimates such as 60,000 years ago for their settlement on these islands is a pure nonsense from a biblical point of view, and any claimed “Science” in that regard is purely speculative). There would have been other Israelites scattered on the mainland before the arrival of the invasive indo-Aryans, notably in the state now known as Kerala, where the Apostle Thomas went to evangelize, and in other places spoken of by Benjamin Tudela in the memoirs of his travels, who distinguished the white so-called (fake and “convert”) “Jews” from the true negroid Israelites of the seed. Both were present in India to bear witness to the brahmanist take-over ca. 400 AD. (The idea that brahmanism was established and present in India going back as much as 5,000 years is a LIE, calculated to advance the idea that a late-comer has legitimate claim to the land they took over by force and guile. The latter stratagem they still deploy today, in new lands such as South Africa, T&T, and etc. In S.A. they are also taking up weapons to defend themselves against the rioting/looting Zulu.
How will it play out?
That too is written. It will not end well for the Edomites and their allies.
Obadiah 15-18. ” For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob (Zuma?) shall possess their possessions.
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.”
The judgment is now upon Esau and her allies. The cup of affliction has passed from the Negro/Bantu over to his enemies, — the Edomites, Ishmaelites and their confederates listed in Psalms 83 quoted earlier. They shall surely drink it, as we surely had to drink from that cup of affliction through servitude. Part of that cup that they shall be made to drink will take the form of what we see now playing out in S.A. The same is happening elsewhere, and may well happen here in T&T before the drama is all over. Do not say that the most High is not just: “…as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.”
All praise, all thanks, all glory be unto the most High. Even His rebukes are to be praised, for He is slow to anger, and gives us all every chance to repent…
From those who have made themselves into the enemies of God and the Negro, and refuse to repent, I withhold my peace. To my Negro/Bantu brethren, I say the long night of affliction is almost over, and the dawn of redemption is near.
Shalom.
Revelation 18:4. “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Thank you yoruba.
Look at my post on Kangal’s speech in 2005. And i agree with your analysis on the lies told by hindutvaites about “aryans” and brahmanism being 5000 years etc. They LIE! I’ve studied scholarly research into their history, and academic findings are in stark contrast to the lies that “hindu” nationalists spew ad nauseum. In india, it is well known that Hindutva ideology is about reconstructing history with blatant lies, to facilitate devious political goals and actions in the present and future!
P.S. I’ve known about the mbongeni ngema controversy for many years.
