Historical Truths About Humanity

Historical truths in humanity must always be renewed Age after Age. An Age is about 2155 years long. Most of the historical truths evolved from over 60,000 years ago. Most of those truths are hidden in myths and are only available to the profane.

One of them is about the power of female energy in society. Over 6,000 years ago, the ancient Hindu teachings held that the female’s appetite is twice that of a male, her sexual drive is four times that of a male, and her brain power is eight times that of a male.

From the beginning of recorded time the male has developed many myths and lies to characterize this power and to control it. Some times by brutal force, but most of the time by misdirection and deception.

The ancients believed that all creation at the very beginning came from female energy. The ancient goddess Isis was a symbol for that creation in ancient Africa. Also, there was the goddess Sophia who was known as the goddess of wisdom. Then there was the great Amazon warrior, Califa that California adopted for its name.

The male’s proclivity for trying to control the female energy has lead to what we call the modern world where the dark ages still struggle to chain the minds of women and perpetuate the male warrior dominance.

A wise man understands these truths and submits to them. The female is the creator in the world and man must serve the world. Backward thinking is contrary to this principle and keeps the body politic in an uproar over the female’s body and the creativity of its energy. For that, we must suffer!  

We are now at the dawning of a new Age and these truths will be given new myths and new forms of deception will be created but I strongly believe, that the female energy will be worshipped again for it is the only path to peace. Peace.

African-American and Native Americans

During African-American History Month, I wanted to stop and reflect on my great
grandmother Jayne Weldon. She was born in 1851 as a part of the Choctaw Nation in Mississippi. Seldom do our families talk about this side of our family tree. We didn’t know who she was and how she became the wife of my great grandfather after the end of slavery in 1865.

The Choctaw Nation was part of the five “civilized” tribes of the Indians in Oklahoma. Each tribe had its own Seal and lived without government interference because they were no longer in rebellion against the encroaching European-Americans. The five tribes consisted of the Seminole Nation, the Muskogee CreekNation, the Chickasaw Nation, the Cherokee Nation and the Choctaw Nation.

Though many African-Americans say that they have some Indian blood in their family, Dr. Louis Gates of Harvard University recently has clearly proved by substantial evidence that only about 4% of African-Americans have Indian ancestry and our family is one of them. His finding further disclosed that a great percentage of African-Americans have European ancestry. The evidence of that fact is a part of our family as well, and is clearly demonstrated by our mother’s Irish-American father.

In the exploration into my family history I have uncovered some interesting and exciting facts about the evolution of Weldon’s in America. The name is Teutonic which is German but is also found in Ireland. The Weldon slave plantation in Alabama is where the name attached to our family. The Weldon name has evolved into Edwards, Rivers, Coleman, Madden, Kim, Powell, Newsome, and still expanding.

So today, I acknowledge my great grandmother Jayne and the role of the Choctaw Nation in our family history. The Choctaw greetings, “Henjayday” for how are you and the response, “Matabomus” for I am find, still lives in our family. The “Tokashy” which means “fire” still burns. I was taught these words as a child while sitting at my grandfather’s knee watching him work on shoes, he was cobbler.

Jayne’s story came to mind this morning while in meditation. Over the past five days each morning during my meditation I notice a hummingbird in one of my trees. This morning it came to my window and look at me. I wondered about the sound it was making while standing still. I wondered if it sounded like my meditation tape (the ohm) which runs for about 30 minutes. I checked on the internet and it turned out to be true.

So, I checked on the myths surrounding hummingbirds and learn that most of the myths came from native- American Indians and in South America. The Hummingbird only appears in the Western Hemisphere and most of the myths were about its connection with the rain and its connection with the Creator. There must be other stories as well but these stories aroused my interest and brought to mind, Jayne! Peace.

African-American History Month

Part 1


African- American History Month –Inventors

Here is a list of African-American Inventors who have patented useful inventions that have contributed to making America the greatest place to live. They are still making a difference in this truly unique country that will continue to lead the rest of the world for decades to come. This is only a partial list:

In the Railroad Industry, Granville T. Woods - Overhead conducting system
for electric railways (1888) and Automatic Air Brakes (1902).  Elbert R. Robinson - Electric railway trolley (1893) and Richard Spikes - Continuous Contact Trolley System (1919). Prior to the inventions of Elijah McCoy, the train had to stop after several miles to be oiled by the engineers. McCoy invented the Automatic oil cup for railway car (1872), Lubricator (1882), and the Steam Dome for locomotives (1885).

The Automobile Industry was truly enriched by African- American Inventors. Edmond Berger, the Spark Plugs (1839), and Richard Spikes of San Francisco, CA, gave us the Automobile Safety Break (1962) – Automatic Gear Shift (1932,              Automobile Directional Signals (1913), and the Automobile Car Washer (1913). Samuel Moore patented the Self-directing headlight (1926) and the Vehicle-headlight mechanism (1928). Traffic is sometimes a mess but it would be really difficult without the invention by Garret A. Morgan, Automatic Traffic Signal (1923). With so many cars on the road today, the air would be unbearable but for the invention by Rufus Stokes, Exhaust purifier (1968) and the Air pollution control device (1970).

Part 2

African-American History Month – Inventors

Our Homes and Offices have been greatly assisted by the following inventions: Marie Van Brittan Brown’s First Video Home Security System (1969), Thomas L. Jennings, Dry Cleaning (1821), John Lee Love - Pencil Sharper (1897) and William Purvis’s Fountain Pen (1884). Also, there was the John Albert Burr Lawn Mower (1899) and the Michael C. Harney Lantern or Lamp (1884). Later on we were able to play music on the Robert F. Flemings Jr.’s Guitar (1886) and weigh ourselves on the John W. Hunter Portable weighing scale (1896). We can now stay warm in our homes with the Alice H. Parker Heating Furnace (1919) and when it’s time to travel to the airport again our luggage will be a lot easier to carry with Debrilla M. Ratchford’s Suitcase with wheels and Transporting hook (1978). We don’t have to worry about the phone being answered while we are away with Benjamin Thornton’s Apparatus for automatically recording telephonic messages (1931).

In the Healthcare Industry we use George Alcorn’s X-Ray Machine (1984) and Bessie Blunt’s Tube Feeder used in hospitals (1951). What would we do without the Phil Brook’s Disposal Syringes (1974) and Dr. Charles Drew’s Blood Plasma invention (1941)? We cannot think of having surgery without Dr. Daniel Hale William’s Antiseptic –Sterilization for open heart surgery and internal surgery (1893). When you hear about cataract surgery easily done today it was because of Patricia Bath’s Laser apparatus for surgery of catartactous lenses (1988). Also, we are thankful for Dewy S. C Sanderson’s Urinalysis machine (1970).

In the Manufacturing/Technology there too many to name them all but we can start with Thomas Elkins for Refrigeration (1879) and George Washington Carver for Cosmetic & Plant Products (Peanut Butter), Paints & Stains (1925) and thousands of other inventions. We thank Samuel J. Hines for his Life Preserver (1915) and Lonnie G. Johnson for her Automatic sprinkler control (1981) and over 45 other inventions for the digital Age. When we go to the movies, Arthur L. MacBeth will be remembered for his Picture Projection Theater invention (1922). The next pair of shoes I buy the name Jan Ernst Matzeliger will come to mind for his Automatic method for lasting shoes, (1890), Nailing machine (1890), Tack separating and distributing mechanism (1890) and his Lasting Machine (1899). Lastly, Ralph W. Sanderson for his Hydraulic shock absorbers (1968) for smooth rides on buses and large trucks.

Part 3

African- American History Month – Inventors

In Aviation we have Hermon I. Grime Airplane invention (1938) AND Jay H. Montgomery’s Aero plane aerofoil wing (1930). This winter when you hear reports about airplanes having to de-ice, think of Richard E S Tommey the inventor of the Airplane appliance to prevent ice formation (co-inventor James C. Evans) (1930).

In Nuclear Power there are two African-American inventors, Frank Edward LeVert, Threshold self-powered gamma detector for use as a monitor of power in a nuclear reactor (1978) and Edwin R. Russell for The separation of plutonium from uranium and fission products (1958).

In the Computer and Internet Industry we start with Philip Emeawali, the inventor of the Supercomputer (1989) and John Henry Thompson for his Lingo Programmer for Macromedia- Shockwave- Movies on our computers (1987-2001).  Jesse Eugene Russell gave us the Broadband data reception system for Worldwide Net Access (1999) and the Network server platform for Internet, Java server and video application server (2000). Lastly, Lanny S Smoot’s Teleconferencing facility with high resolution video display (1989) and his Teleconferencing terminal with camera behind display screen (1990) has helped reduce a lot of air travel for businessmen and women.

In the American Space Program the African-American Inventor has significantly helped advance the program. Henry Sampson, Bindle System for Rocket Motors (1964), William D. Harwell – Apparatus and method of capturing an orbiting spacecraft (1987), Wilson E. Hull –Mass release mechanism for satellites(1966) and Adolphus Samms’ Rocket engine pump feed system (1961), Multiple stage rocket (1965), Emergency release for extraction chute (1966) and his Rocket motor fuel deed (1967). We can’t forget Jerry Shelby for his Engine protection system for the recoverable rocket booster (1994).

In the Military Arms Industry, African-American Inventors have been quite active. Edward R. Lewis’s Spring Gun (1887) and Richard Spikes, yes, the same San Franciscan mentioned above invented a Multi-barrel Machine Gun (1940) while Henrietta Bradberry invented the Underwater Cannon (Torpedo Discharge) in (1945).  Clarence Gregg gave us the Machine gun (1918) while Garret A. Morgan invented the Gas Mask (1914) just in time for World War I. Eugene Burkins gave us the Breech Loading Cannon (1900) and Donald E. Jefferson’s Triggered exploding wire device (1966).

African-American History Month

Part 4

To understand the conditions my great grandfather lived under the first twenty-two (22) years of his life in America I needed a basic understanding of the "Peculiar Institution" of slavery that existed at the time of his birth. Willie Lynch explains it best in his article titled, "The Origin and Development of a Social Being Called "The Negro."** Note: I am changing the derogatory “n” word into “African.” Forgive me if I missed a few!

How do you take an African and turn him or her into a slave and call it a Negro?

"First of all we need an African man, a pregnant African woman and her baby African boy. Second, we will use the same basic principle that we use in breaking a horse, combined with some more sustaining factors. We reduce them from their natural state in nature; whereas nature provides them with the natural capacity to take care of their needs and the needs of their offspring, we break that natural string of independence from them and thereby create a dependency state so that we maybe able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure.


For fear that our future generations may not understand the principle of breaking both horses and men, we lay down the art. There are five Principles:

(a)   Both horse and African are no good to the economy in the wild or natural state.
(b)   Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production.
(c)    For orderly futures, special and particular attention must be paid to the female and the youngest offspring.
(d)   Both must be crossbred to produce a variety and division of labor.
(e)   Both must be taught to respond to a peculiar new language. Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be created for both.



All principles must be employed for the orderly good of the nation. Accordingly, both a wild horse and a wild or natural African is dangerous even if captured, for they will have the tendency to seek their customary freedom, and, in doing so, might kill you in your sleep. You cannot rest. They sleep while you are awake and are awake while you are asleep. They are dangerous near the family house and it requires too much labor to watch them away from the house. Above all you cannot get them to work in this natural state. Hence, both the horse and the African must be broken, that is break them from one form of mental life to another, keep the body and take the mind. In other words, break the will to resist.




Part 5

Now the breaking process is the same for the horse and the African, only slightly varying in degrees. But as we said before, you must keep your eye focused on the female and the offspring of the horse and the African.

A brief discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound economic principle. Pay little attention to the generation of original breaking but concentrate on future generations. Therefore, if you break the female, she will break the offspring in its early years of development and, when the offspring is old enough to work, she will deliver it up to you. For her normal female protective tendencies will have been lost in the original breaking process. For example, take the case of the wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the breaking process with two captured African males in their natural state, a pregnant African woman with her infant offspring. Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break the female horse until she becomes very gentle whereas you or anybody can ride her in comfort. Breed the mare until you have the desired offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again. Train the female horse whereby she will eat out of your hand, and she will train the infant horse to eat of your hand also.


When it comes to breaking the uncivilized African, use the same process, but vary the degree and step up the pressure so as to do a complete reversal of the mind. Take the meanest and most restless African, strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining Africans, the female, and the African infant, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite directions, set him a fire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining Africans.

The next step is to take a bullwhip and beat the remaining African male to the point of death in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him. But put the fear of God in him, for he can be useful for future breeding.

Take the female and run a series of tests on her to see if she will submit to you desires willingly. Test her in every way, because she is the most important factor for good economic.

 If she shows any signs of resistance in submitting completely to your will, do not hesitate to use the bullwhip on her to extract that last bit of bitch out of her. Take care not to kill her, for in doing so, you spoil good economics. When in complete submission, she will train her offspring in the early years to submit to labor when they become of age. Understanding is the best thing.




Part 6


Therefore, we shall go deeper into this area of the subject matter concerning what we have produced here in this breaking of the female African. We have reversed the relationship. In her natural uncivilized state she would have a strong dependency on the uncivilized African male, and she would have a limited protective dependency toward her independent male offspring and would raise female offspring to be dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance.

We reversed nature by making him dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning and pulling one civilized African apart and bull whipping the other to the point of death--all in her presence. By her being left alone, unprotected, with male image destroyed, the ordeal cased her to move from her psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state. In this frozen psychological state of independence she will raise her male and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she will train her female offspring to be psychological independent as well. What have you got? You've got the African woman out front and the African man behind and scared. This is perfect situation for sound sleep and economics.

Before the breaking process, we had to be alert and on guard at all times. Now we can sleep soundly, for out of frozen fear, his woman stand guard for us. He cannot get past her early infant slave molding process. He is good tool, now ready to be tied to the horse at a tender age. By the time a African boy reaches the age of sixteen, he is soundly broken in and ready for a long life of sound and efficient work and the reproduction of a unit of good labor force.

Continually, through the breaking of uncivilized savage Africans, by throwing the African female savage into a frozen psychological state of independency, by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the African male slave, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and re shifts the positions of the male and female savages. We show what we mean by example. We breed two African males with two African females. Then we take the African males away from them and keep them moving and working.

Say the African female bear an African female and the other bears a African male. Both African females, being without influence of the African male image, frozen with an independent psychology, will raise him to be mentally dependent and weak, but physically strong...in other words, body over mind. We will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. That is good, sound, and long range comprehensive planning.

Part 7

Cross-breeding Africans means taking so many drops of good white blood and putting them into as many African women as possible, varying the drops by the various tone that you want, and then letting them breed with each other until cycle of colors appear as you desire. Crossbreeding completed, for further severance from their original beginning, we must completely annihilate the mother tongue of both the nigger and the new mule and institute a new language that involves the new life's work of both. You know, language is a peculiar institution. It leads to the heart of people. The more a foreigner knows about the language of another country the more he is able to move through all levels of that society.
Therefore, if the foreigner is an enemy of the country, to the extent that he knows the body of the language, to that extent is the country vulnerable to attack or invasion of a foreign culture. For example, you take the slave, if you teach him all about your language, he will know all your secrets, and he is then no more a slave, for you can't fool him any longer and having a fool is one of the basic ingredients of and incidents to the making of the slavery system."

I could not begin to comprehend the awesome and permanent affect the slave making process has had on Africans living in America. Great grandfather Cyrus Weldon lived under these conditions and survived to produce a family that is still expanding in the American interior.

The five definitional terms set out in that Article on making the "Negro" was to be understood by all future generation of Americans in order for them to protect their lives and economic prosperity. The end result of this orbital cycle is what I choose to call the "Holocaustic Perpetual Psychosis of Dependency" that generations of African-Americans are still struggling to understand and to overcome its awesome destructive results. The system operated for over 300 years and it will take another 300 years to overcome, and we shall overcome someday!

AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH

                                 African-American History Month


Part I

As a Native-African-Irish –American, I am proud to share some of my thoughts about my country’s slave history and state of our nation today. President Abraham Lincoln said, “No man is good enough to govern another man without the others consent…there can be no moral right of one man making a slave of another.”  Yet, the crucial and critical history of America is entangled in the use of force to do exactly that, enslave others.

My great-grandfather, Cyrus Weldon, was born on a slave plantation in Alabama in 1843. In 1865, he was set free and later married a Choctaw Indian woman from Mississippi named Jayne. They moved to Texas and worked on a horse ranch just south of Dallas. My grandfather, Webster, was born there in 1881. Because of racial hatred and the destruction of their property by angry Europeans they eventually moved to Boley Oklahoma. Oklahoma means “land of the Red Man’ which was Indian Territory. The Indians embraced former slaves and their families who were escaping from monstrously harsh treatment by the displaced angry people of European descent who had lost their lands and property during the Civil War. In 1913, my father was born in Boley, the first major Negro city that Booker T. Washington referred to as a shinning example of what Negros could do to survive on their own, and my mother, the unacknowledged daughter of an European-American, was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma in 1916. The 1930 Depression forced them to move to California where I was born.

To put things in prospective, one must understand that 1600 British America was used as a prison colony under the doctrine of “Transportation.” If one was convicted of a crime in England, they were given transportation to the prison colony to serve out their time as indentured servants. Upon completion of time-served, they were granted land and tools. The wealthy class of England was granted large parcels of land in the colony by the King. The wondering merchant classes obtained rights to establish trading post a long the eastern seaboard. Some religions found their way to the colony to freely practice their religion.

Over time, the Indians near the colonies and across the plains would be slaughter and removed from their lands for the sake of progress and European expansion. The need for labor was enormous in order to expand the wealth of the traders and the land owners. The introduction of African slavery was the answer just at it was used in England and other parts of the world. The former criminals, some Indians, some free Africans and the land gentry would use this labor to become wealthy and create a legend of superiority in their own minds.





Part 2

Slavery has always existed in the world and is still used as an economic tool today.
The most intriguing thing about American slavery is the use of color as a badge of slavery and the various methods used to keep the slaves in captivity. Denying their humanity one hand, and covering up sexual relationships with them on the other hand creating the greatest conflagration on humanity that created a nation of hypocrites and cruel segregation practices to support the denials. This life style and economic system was the foundation of America for almost 300 years. The still waters of that system still run deep. Review the 1850-1860’s Census to see population in America at that time.

After the Civil War in the 1800, a war of brothers fighting brothers over economic advantages and disadvantages of slavery, the former slaves and slave owners were thrown to a boiling pot of hatred, cruelty, and struggle. The losers of the war lost their lands and wealth and would used any means necessary to survive on what land was left. It was the pure destruction of their human spirit and somebody was going to pay for it throughout eternity. The payback for those losses would fall upon the former slaves, the Indians, their off-spring.

The greatest threat was the slave’s sexuality and every possible step was taken to contain it or destroy it. Through the use of Black Codes (municipal codes) racial controls were imposed that would protect them from sexual contact with the new citizens, as decreed by the United States Constitution under the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, (no slavery excepts for crimes, citizenship in the United Sates, and the right to vote) because the idea of accepting the slaves as brothers and sisters would be an abomination though the reality was most of the slaves had European blood running in their veins.  

These Amendments were never in enforced until the beginning of the 1960s though they were put in the Constitution in 1868 by the winners of the Civil War. That’s the irony of unsettled racial hatred in modern times, the former slaves would never be accepted has equals because the losers were never in favor of the new economic arrangement. The wound was too deep and it would be passed down to each generation by the former slaves and former slave owners. 

Part 3

During this African American History month we can reflect on the progress that has been made and how each new generation is finding ways to coupe with or accept all people as brothers and sisters regardless of the color of their skin and the different cultural experience they have faced over the years.

To have an African-European American as the President of the United States is surely a significant symbol of progress. Yet, in the economic trenches of competition and the awesome wealth disparity in the American population today, the badges of slavery can still be heard in the various politically correct code words that the describe the indifference and concern about race relations in America.

Since the Civil War, the 13th Amendment has been the sole tool use to commit a large segment of the African- American male population into prison and that solution is only getting worst. It is unfortunate and sorrowful that my generation had suffered through the morass of violence and hatred during the 1960s because our minds are forever inflicted with how racial hatred can take the human soul into the abyss of darkness.

Our perception of reality is always smitten with those memories and at times it difficult to see the good in all nationalities. But as my mother use to say, if it wasn’t for the good people of European decent our country would never have survived the onslaught of bigotry, hate, and anger by those who cannot let go of the past and that includes the descendants of former slaves and former slave owners. The vinegar of resentment and superiority runs deep in their veins and there is no hope for them. The new generation of Americans will have to solve the quagmire in the melting pot. With the influx of new immigrants, whether legal or illegal, they are adding an interesting ingredient into the mix. With no understanding or appreciation for America’s birth and history, they will provide something new and different. It’s unclear what it’s going to be but I know my children will be a part of it and it’s going to be awesome! Peace.
