The Fall of AHS: Support Solid Work

For over 5 years we have been begging for support. We even had to erect a paywall to try to get funds to run the AHS. We went from 10 people at our peak to 2. We used to have paid staff, and then only people that would spend 1 hr a day doing all the work. Eventually, it went to hours per week as all the core disbanded disheartened by the lack of support. Some brilliant researchers and thinkers. But this was foreshadowed a decade ago so we knew this was how it would end. There is something about the “black” race that always ends this way. You can do anything to Africans (steal money, make false promises about schools), but please don’t hurt anyone’s feelings by holding up a mirror to their condition.

10 years ago we could pay people to research in Zanzibar and Zimbabwe but that was because Halaqah made money from the films. We did the research we could afford it. Everyone won.

Build our own

 

 

People who talk like that are the last to support anything called building. That has to be one of the greatest issues facing us as a people. That person and people like this, talk, but they never ever do. We should also make a film called Motherland (they said) until we did it. We (as a group) reward sweet talk, never good work. Like 11-year-old children pretending to be something they are not. Yet from the 3.3k likes to a video platform on YouTube if you attempted to build a Patreon page you might get 12 bucks. We didn’t get here because of something that happened last month. Garvey to Nkrumah said “Build or own” Please tell me why these loudmouths on social media didn’t get it done by now. How come I have friends like this who will discuss anything and everything until it is time to pull out their credit card for something black?

Where is the support for the work that exists? So easy to say “We don’t need them (whites)” But it is whites buying the books on Africa and listening to our jazz. Who funds African classical music? Who buys African art?

And we are not alone, how many of our icons (which we praise with our lips) died in utter poverty? Some have always supported our work, but most who know and should have did not They are saying yes with their lips without any accountability beyond that. But they are masters at saying “How come we Blacks don’t have…” Silent friends as MLK,jr would have called them. But this myopic thinking is integrated into our DNA (it seems).

The cheek! $50 cannot be an issue for him. So a site that helps thousands is the responsibility of one person (who lost his house funding 500 Years Later and didn’t have bus fare to attend the premiere of 500 Years Later in London. While celebrities spend film budgets on Versace and alcohol.). Why didn’t this person just come and pay the money? : Let us take a detour to MyJewish Learning and see their funders. But this is the mindset. Entitled to stuff but never accountable. Molefi Asante, by this argument, should not be asking for donations for his institute.

If we do not learn that this thing is about working together for our common interest then we certainly do not need AHS!

It was two people who paid for our new site. Out of 1 billion Africans, two people came forward to pay for the AHS site a total of $250. A Black church can raise $250,000 to sell you mental slavery. Another guy can raise just as much for a school that will never be built. Another is for factories that produce no products.

No man is an island

Over the last 5 years, we went from about 10 domains to now ZERO. Our people don’t even know what we have lost: Africanmarriage, African kingdoms, Africankings, Arab slave trade , African code, year by year gone.

I don’t know if our cries for help were being taken seriously. We had Ocacia hosting us for free– but they did not support that either. We had Halaqah and the films funding us, and they did not support that either. This world is connected.

But here is what actually motivated this post. I just got a Facebook message saying the SITE HAS BEEN HACKED. Lol. It is so revealing of our mindset. No honey, the site has not been hacked. It was canceled because we could not renew the domain for less than $40 bucks a year— No Halaqah or Ocacia to bail us out anymore. But just the assumption that someone else did it to us is such a better thing to accept than what we did to ourselves. But we have always said this about the African mind. So much easier to see someone else destroying us, and blame them, than realize it is our own hands around our black necks. No, no one hacked it, we hacked ourselves by not having value for our resources. Sounds familiar? That is the story of Black people from Africa to the Caribbean. The Jewish Holocaust site is still going strong. Because Jews have a VALUE for their history. The Jew knows that Benny Morris is not Ben Stiller. Many of us think Malcolm X and Tupac are equals. But Jews don’t have hotep culture and Dr. Know Thyself, historians.

Just imagine $40 bucks. At some stage, a bird must leave the nest and learn to fly. Malcolm and others taught us one critical thing true freedom is something we must do for ourselves. We must learn the value of of good work and out of our own self-interest know to protect it. But we post links on Facebook and see no one is interested. It has no value until we start talking popcorn topics. And of the 4K not one of them came and supported the work on Patreon.

There is a post from last year saying let us at least get to $100 and we would be able to keep going. People would give $100 to all manner of rubbish on Patreon and GoFundMe. But again we do have freedom of choice. Dr. Imhotep and his nonsense or the church do not have any support issues.

We accept it as part of the struggle. If something has no value then it honestly does not belong. We got the message. History doesn’t repeat, it is our failure to learn that causes the world around us to be so barren. It is not THE WHITE MAN, it is the US and our choices.

Sidenote: When the site was closed the Indian man at Godaddy was shocked, he said such a powerful name and content. I replied Yes, it is. But if the people it was created for don’t have value for it then it might as well be a Casino site. Tomorrow a new generation will ask “Why don’t we have what the Jews have, the White man is oppressing us”.

P.s.. In South Africa, when Motherland was supposed to be shown on TV BLACK people (assisted by Whites) switched it out for a gospel program and no one complained. Our condition is not an accident, we are our biggest threat.

 

When your stomach is empty it tells your brain. But when your brain is empty it keeps quiet.

I could spend all day documenting how much poison African people globally consume intellectually. And we are the only ones in charge of our future so we better get serious about what kind of future we want to see. Dont look at Malcolm or King, or Nkrumah. Today we are Malcolm X, King, and Nkrumah. They made decisions for their era that have us in a better position today. What do we want to leave as our legacy? And people fail to get this.

But Waterangola is not going to pay for the platform he is advocating. So no wonder African Stream is down.

I don’t want to come and talk about problems and divorce myself from solutions. I is bad when people with low intelligence chase celebrity gossip and trash on TikTok, what about when people of great intelligence respond to clickbait and trash? Don’t trust me go and see for yourself. It is unhinged what get us off.

Vs development

Would you not lose hope also?

Vs

Below is the price you have to pay to attend a conference where lightworkers clear your something or the other. It is unreal what people would pay for. So to clear Most Difficult to Release Hidden Karmic Block each person pays $97.00 Two months of what AHS has to operate on to clear mental slavery. I think it is way easier to get money from people through deception rather than honesty.

 

 

AHS

We are all responsible in different ways for the world as it is

Is not fun to read books when YouTube gossip about P-Diddy is all over your feed. Our work is not sweet like KFC, it is your greens and a glass of clean water as opposed to Coke and Salty chicken. You must make sure independent intellectual sites like ours live on. We must advance as a people. We must build on the work of Malcolm and Diop and Du Bois. We must go beyond what Amos Wilson spoke about and get on with actually building stuff.

Building looks like Ocacia, a tangible business. It is not another book on Amazon or another tour of modern Egypt pointing out all the broken noses.

HOW WE WORK

How we work is not a secret to anyone who has a platform. You can study the platform of Candace Owens or Due Dissonantes and it is the same. Someone is researching and gathering data and someone’s main purpose is presentation. Candace isn’t doing that alone neither is Jimmy Dore or Democracy Now. You need division of labor to span these topics from Ibn Khaldun to Ancient Egypt vs Ancient Ethiopia. One of the main things you need is access to experts. If your site is doing well and the information is getting out there then someone might give you some notes to run with and go an expand on. No one at this level has time for fools and their foolish comments. You need results, you need content to be read. When that doesn’t happen serious people start focusing on P-Diddy and Rihanna and famous black sports people.

We no longer can afford to buy or read books. So our quality 10 years ago and now is terribly diminished. That means you are getting less value for your money. You must understand it is a vicious cycle. AHS was 100% free for 17 years! Now here we are having lost all of our domains Blackempowerment, African code, Arab slave trade, Africankingdoms, African African marriage and finally African holocaust

BRING BACK OUR SITE at $100 a month

We would love to bring back our website. But this has never been about what We (a tiny group of people) want to do. It is about what WE (a broad Pan-African and conscious community of all backgrounds) needs to do. It is not the job of the director of 500 Years Later. That is one limited human being. In between work, I have to write this, we have 1000 of content that we cannot do justice to. While we have to watch trash get upvoted on Facebook. And if it is not that it is this rubbish about “100 things you did not know about BLACK PEOPLE! ” Are we still there? Are we still in the 80s? Are we still at “The Black man invented everything?” are we still “White people destroyed Africa”? Then who told us not to support African independent cinema? And why is African stream down? And our site down?

INTERNAL ISSUES

When I speak about conscious people doing stupid things I am talking about people even within the AHS circle. One brother complained to me about the nonsense of a Wikipedia article on African folk stories. I said, the time you took to complain on WhatsApp you could have just edited it (you could even use my account which has over a decade of reputation so people will not mess with you) He gave twenty excuses as to why he could not. Yet on people’s status updates all the trash we complain about they are starting to get into. But they know it is a trap better than anyone else.

These are serious intellectuals descending into this poison. Another sister who had profound potential got distracted away by the instant gratification of BLM. Where is that now? We still need to come back to this hard boring work. That popular race stuff has no true legacy in true transformation. Liberal media loves it because they know what we know, nothing comes from it that takes us forward towards power. I am not saying everything else is bad and we are the only good. Not at all. But everyone is over there, then who is here? If everyone is rapping then who is doing the engineering?

GO BEYOND PETTY

We just wrote a piece on Thomas Sowell, am I a fan? No. I am more a fan of Amos Wilson than Sowell. But I am also practical, way to practical to have time with “who I like and who I don’t like’. You don’t even have to like the personalities you think run AHS. That is why we don’t focus on personalities. Dont worry about who offended you on Facebook! The work is the work. This is why when I think back one of our key founders Alik Shahadah was the most adamant against this thing going on social media. So much so that when a brother from South Africa (Brother Buntu, can’t remember the org) asked him what he thought about social media (as Buntu wanted to get on it at the time) he said STAY OFF THAT PLATFORM. It does not and will never create forward movement. It is two steps forward and 4 steps back. It is an illusion, yet another distraction that will have you investing your house, to get a bicycle. I am summarizing but I disagree while recognizing every day how correct he was. It is a lottery, and most of us are going to lose. But here we are more than a decade later looking at what he said would happen. Social media does not as its mission create a New African. It integrates us into stupidity and popularity. Algorithms are not designed to build consciousness, just enhance our stupidity. It is too late now.

 

 FREE IS NOT FREE

Liberation nowhere on Earth is free. So anything free, by this argument, could not be leading to liberation. Our hosting fees are $70 US a month. Ocacia has the platform our website is still there hosted for free. But to publish we eat up traffic which means we at least have to pay for bandwidth. That is at least $40. What is left? I used to be an admin/researcher, my name is not important, but all I do is take stuff and turn it into articles. People lend their time in the areas of graphics, video editing, research, fact-checking, etc. I have casual members of AHS and old founders feed me info which is converted into something like this article. It takes at least 3hrs a day. It cost money. Even if we do it for free. No one in this world can do something without seeing something coming back. And money is not the only thing that can come back. Showing support makes people find 1 hr to offer their time. When people leave this site and buy Ocacia clothes that is our hosting secured (and 100 other things) as long as there is an Ocacia. It is as simple as that. As long as people are buying films then we benefit because the people who make the films are also the people with the connections and the expertise to supply the content needed for this page/site. It is not free.

People who build mosques and schools use money to do so. Every mosque that goes up is built by someone with money. Every Madrasa free lesson or paid runs on money. Every church that goes out and feeds the poor has something worked out to afford that. It is not free.

Dont tell me 100 people don’t have $1 in a world with over 1 billion of us. Especially when discussing the African Diaspora with disposable income.

 

Thanks to increased support the site has been paid for and is back. But the site is not the final site needed as this one is seriously old and broken. The new domain is www.africanholocaust.info

We are working on a new site with our sponsors ocacia.com, it was supposed to be easy but we have hit some unexpected snags moving articles to the new site.

WHY a beautiful functional site?

Some sites are no good. They might have African names and push out African articles. But they are not reliable. No one knows the track record of the authors. After 20 years we get some credit in that department. We all know the problem with poor research and nonsense. It does not enhance our understanding, but it does invite more pseudohistorical egos to the fray.

But when I visit a poorly made site I instantly distrust it. I guess if you cannot manage the have a functional site why should I trust your work? Christian Science Monitor, etc all have properly functioning sites. It doesn’t mean the work is good but we do judge a book by its cover, and for good reason. The Ocacia site is professional and encourages confidence.

 Good work needs a good house. This is why mosques and churches are built to high standards. If these things represent something important then they should look like they are important.
