[THIS EXCERPT IS TAKEN FROM THE JUDAIC SCRIPTURES/CHRISTIAN OLD TESTAMENT. ACCORDING TO THE TEXT, THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF ANCIENT ISRAEL, WAS CONQUERED BY THE ASSYRIANS IN 721 B.C.E., AND THE PEOPLE TAKEN AWAY INTO ENSLAVEMENT.  THE ASSYRIANS THEN IMPORTED IN OTHER CONQUERED PEOPLES AS COLONIALS.  WHEN THE NEW PEOPLE CAME IN, THE WERE IGNORANT OF THE WAYS OF THE GOD OF THE LAND AND 'PROBLEMS' ENSUED.  AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT OCCURS IN A LAND WHEN THE PEOPLE TURN AWAY FROM, ARE NEGLECTFUL OF OR IGNORE THE GODS, SAY OF THEIR ANCESTORS, WHO STILL ARE THERE IN THE LAND.  THERE WILL BE NO PEACE UNTIL THE ANCESTORS ARE APPEASED!]





2 Kings 17:24And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
2 Kings 17:25And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
2 Kings 17:26Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
2 Kings 17:27Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
2 Kings 17:28Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
2 Kings 17:29Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
2 Kings 17:30And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
2 Kings 17:31And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
2 Kings 17:32So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
2 Kings 17:33They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
2 Kings 17:34Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
2 Kings 17:35With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
2 Kings 17:36But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
2 Kings 17:37And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
2 Kings 17:38And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
2 Kings 17:39But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
2 Kings 17:40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
2 Kings 17:41So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

"The history of Kmt will remain suspended in air and cannot be written correctly until Kmtyw historians connect it with the history of Egypt [...] The Kmtyw historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest or objective, nor unruffled, he is ignorant, cowardly, and neurotic." [Mhenga Cheikh Anta Diop]

"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom." [Mhenga Malcolm X]


 


"I for one believe , 'lif you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes , ' produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action." [Mhenga Malcolm X]
