July is also the tenth anniversary of his tragic death. Leroy Whittaker was known throughout the Lawrence Heights neighbourhood for his community leadership, religious dedication and generosity of heart. Every summer, he hosted a community barbecue to which all were invited, to share a meal and come together in a spirit of peace and harmony. His commitment to the Rastafarian faith and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church inspired his numerous community initiatives, including the founding of the All-Fari soccer club in 1999. In July, 2005 a bullet ripped through the peephole of his apartment door in the Lawrence Heights area, fatally wounding the father of seven. His ten-year-old step son called 911. The police concluded that Leroy was not the intended target and have expressed regret that, ten years later, no arrest has been made. The senseless murder galvanized his community, sparking demonstrations and inspiring musical and creative tributes, as well as an annual memorial by Whittaker’s family and friends. Even though his death still remains a mystery, his family still remembershim with high spirits. “I Love my uncle” says Iam, his young nephew, who was just 5 at the time of Leroy’s passing.“He was always kind to me”. “He always made me smile, even though he was a serious person,”remembers his sister, Jackie. “The First Memorial Leroy Whittaker Dinner and Entertainment event is designed to honour his contributions and achievements in the community,” explains his niece, Sasha. The celebration ofLeroy’s life will take place at 2213 Dufferin St on July 11, 2015between 4-8pm. It is a ticketed event, and seats are limited, though everyone is welcome. Tickets are available by calling 416-305-8852 / 647-745-3353. A website was created for Leroy at www.allfari.com where everyone can learn more about Leroy Whittaker. Funds raised at this event will go towards purchasing and installing a Memorial Bench at the site where Leroy now rests. The event is produced by FariFest, a full-service video, web development and event Production Company.

The recurring power imbalances in the world, technological, social, and economic, have become a threat to human survival as a viable species. The observable decline in spiritual leadership (qualitative deficit) is responsible for a “universal” decline in international peace and harmony. Greed, hoarding of strategic resources, the accumulation of superfluous wealth, and the spread of violence among nations underpin this “universal” decline in spirituality. An increase in spirituality would place humanity on a progressive, authentic and sustainable path as a viable species. Errol Gibbs PHILOSOPHICALLY SPEAKING By: Errol Gibbs SPIRITUALITY – A PRE-REQUISITE FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Our twenty-first century is emerging as a “Century of Discontent” with leaders of religion, education, politics and military, and this discontent is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Over the past century, the world has experienced exponential growth in world religions, academia, science and technology, space exploration, medical research and great financial and material wealth. At the same time, the world is experiencing exponential growth in global humanitarian and peace organizations. To the intellectual observer the twenty-first century should blossom into a new era of high civilization with social and economic equity, technological empathy, peace and prosperity, and fairness and justice. Essentially, this new paragon of leadership should consign wars, and ‘humanly caused’ and ‘humanly inspired’ suffering to history. Despite exponential growth in science and technology (www.Scientific.net), human intelligence, world religions, and financial and material wealth, human beings lack the capacity to build and sustain great civilizations. The reason for this incapacity is a lack of understanding that we are spiritual beings, living temporarily in physical bodies, and that our primary need is spiritual. In a Christian context, spirituality is not synonymous with religion. It connotes the connection between the human spirit and God’s Spirit. In practical terms, it is a demonstration of “the Fruit of the Spirit”, which is an extension of God’s love (agape) exercised towards others, such as: love, joy, peace, patience (longsuffering), kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self–control (Galatians 5: 22–23, New King James Version (NKJV)). These spiritual attributes empower leaders and create a barrier to the path that leads to enslavement, colonization, apartheid, genocide and wars underpinned by a “secular worldview”. The great divisions among nations result from our desire for mastery over money, wealth and power, control over natural resources, and legal, social and economic advantage over peoples and nations. These same human conditions have wrought havoc in the ancient world. They confront leaders in the twenty-first century with a resounding message that history repeats itself. The image attempts to alert the reader to the exponential growth in human knowledge, in science and technology, militarism, and world religions as spirituality (“Fruit of the Spirit”) ebbs. The need for spiritual interconnectedness begins and ends life’s trajectory (pre-mortal, mortal and immortal). The emptiness that flows from a lack of higher purpose is a higher call for spirituality that only a life imbued by the Spirit can satisfy. The search for spirituality has perplexed every religion from tribal systems to the most sophisticated mono–and polytheistic religions of our modern world. It is the way to find meaning, purpose, hope, comfort, inner peace, happiness, joy and security. Spirituality is a pre-requisite for enlightened global leadership, but it is imperative to differentiate between Spiritual enlightenment that comes from God versus Age of Enlightenment described by post–medieval times (or simply the Enlightenment, or Age of Reason) (1620 – 1789). National self-interest has become the leadership guide in our twenty-first century, evidenced by tens of thousands of human laws, underpinned by a “secular worldview” that guarantees the ruling elites maintain a permanent social and economic power imbalance. A dominant “secular worldview” rejects any notion of a “Christian worldview” as the path to world peace and harmony. Paradoxically, when something goes wrong in society, there is an immediate call for the “sword” (human authority) and the “Bible” (God’s authority), but with God’s authority a remote consideration. A major global challenge to leadership is the need to achieve a balanced perspective informed by the Triad Colossi (1) God (Spiritual Intelligence (SI)), (2) Man (Human Intelligence (HI)), and (3) Machine (Artificial Intelligence (AI)). These three belief systems must be congruent. Spiritual Intelligence (SI) enables Human Intelligence. Similarly, Human Intelligence (HI) enables Artificial Intelligence (AI) in machines. Higher Spiritual Intelligence (SI) imbues the human mind for discernment and decision making, when faith, belief, and practice are congruent. Machines (robots and cobots (collaborate robots)) are designed to work in collaboration with human co–workers to serve the needs of humans. (MIT Technology Review, Computing News, Will Knight April 23, 2014). The paradox of this advancing need for new technologies (Artificial Intelligence (AI)) to evolve the information age is its overshadowing of the critical need for Spirituality to underpin humanity. Spiritual progress, the most important form of progress lags behind, when compared to scientific progress. The challenge is that some machines are approaching godlike characteristics (an ironic perspective), for instance, military drones are becoming omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (all places) and omniscient (all knowing) — digitally speaking. International and national leaders no longer serve nor lead on behalf of the people. Democracy is becoming a doubled edged sword for many, with great prosperity on the one hand, and great fear, hunger, poverty, homelessness and disenfranchisement on the other hand. Global leaders no longer view the people they serve as sovereign. GENEVA, June 20, 2014 (UNHCR) – “The UN refugee agency reported today on World Refugee Day that the number of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people worldwide has, for the first time in the post-World War II era, exceeded 50 million people”. Whenever something goes wrong within a nation, between or among nations, there is an immediate call for more authority. This ‘authoritarian worldview’ diverts resources, and financial and human capital away from important investments to improve the human condition (spiritual, moral, social, intellectual and physical). Have we found hope, peace and security on an authoritarian path? Have we found it in higher levels of expenditures by militarizing the world? “World military expenditure in 2014 was an estimated $1776 billion” (http://www.sipri.org/research/armaments/milex). Have we found hope, peace and security in political authority, the authority of the modern church, in great world religions, or in our gods? Have we found it in modern education or academia? Modern education has provided humanity with a “materially driven life”, which is emerging as a threat to the “Spiritual purpose” of human existence as a viable species. Have we found hope, peace and security in secular universities or global peace organizations? Have we found it in political authority or by incarcerating approx. 11 million individuals (World Prison Population List (Sixth Edition))? Have we found it in peace pacts, peace treaties, peace marches or in civil rebellion? What, then, is the basis of authority upon which all of human civilization must rely for hope, peace and security? The basis of authority lies within the Word of God. “Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain” (Psalm 127:1 NKJV). When we adopt this basic premise, only then will a new world of reforms spring forth and lead to the creation of national and international peace and harmony and the lives of fulfillment that we crave. Ancient Secrets Africa & Christianity Never Told The great city of Nineveh in the Old Testament, cited in the book of Jonah (circa 767 BCE) received God’s gift of mercy. “Then word came to the King of Nineveh; and he rose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself in sackcloth and sat in ashes, and decreed: “let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish? Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said that He would bring upon them, and He did not do it” (Jonah 3:5-10 NKJV). We have relegated the management of God’s creation and His created beings to the elites in religion, politics, academia, and the military, though it is only the sum total of human knowledge that will provide a way forward. Paradoxically, empirical evidence demonstrates that ‘war’ instead of ‘peace’, ‘insecurity’ instead of ‘security’, and the breakdown in human relations grow exponentially alongside gross national and international expenditures in the trillions of dollars in armaments and security apparatus worldwide. Ernie Regehr (1980): “We are dealing here with the issues of life and death for humankind”. Where are the voices of the great religious leaders to bring God’s revelation to global leaders? God gives His assurance: “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV). Errol A. Gibbs Writer, Self-inspired Researcher, Mentor, International Motivational Speaker Ambassador for Peace with the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) (An NGO in General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations) Tel: 905.875.4956/Email: egibbs1@sympatico.ca Website: www.ffhdwritersinc.com What can you find in this amazing book Africans Who Wrote The Bible? Americans and Europeans assume that the Bible is about them, but the Bible is about my ancient ancestors and me…..Alex Darkwah Modern-day Jews see the Bible as a record of their history because the King James Bible is centered on the history of Israel. The Jewish people of Europe and America still carry African Tribal names. They carry the names of their ancestors who were Africans. Statistically, the Lemba people from Southeast Africa are more Jewish than European Jews. In a particular Lemba Clan known as the Buba Clan, 53 percent of the males carry the unique DNA signature of Jewish priests. Males form the Lemba Tribe carry a higher incidence of the Jewish priestly DNA signature than the European and American Jewish population. When the police have the fingerprints of a wanted man, they know the man whose prints match. The same thing can be said here. The early Roman Catholic Church portrayed Jesus and his mother in the original Black images of the Jewish people at that time--The Black Madonna. What African tribe were they from? Scene from King Tutankhamun’s tomb The time period of the early Catholic Church is closer to the Jews leaving Africa and going to Europe than the Renaissance Painters who painted Jesus White. What Europe did not count on was that Africans would still know their past. Darkwah states that ancient Egypt was geographically in Africa and that so called European experts do not know the Ancient Egyptian story because they are not familiar with African tribal names. They do not have the linguistic and cultural backgrounds to identify Egyptian names and have simply transposed the African names of people and places in Ancient Egyptian history into European languages to make it possible for them to claim expertise. Darkwah traces the ancient past of African tribes from the Middle East through Ancient Egypt to inner Africa. He reveals the African tribe that historians gave the fictitious names the Sumerians, Akkadians, and the African Tribes that were the Ancient Egyptians.

Miriam Grossman, MD, author of the recently-released You’re teaching my child what? A physician exposes the lies of sex education and how they spread false propoganda. I f you think sex education is still about the birds and the bees, you’re wrong. And it’s not about science either. If you’re a parent with children in the public school system, you need to know what’s really going on.In You’re Teaching My Child What? Dr. Miriam Grossman rips back the curtain on sex education today, exposing a sordid truth. Instead of teaching our children the facts of life, sex educators are lying to them, ignoring medical fact in favor of politicized, and dangerous, propaganda that could ruin your child’s life forever. In You’re Teaching My Child What? you’ll learn what sex educators don’t want you to know: * Why the discredited founder of “sexology”—dead for half a century—has more influence on sex education than today’s most eminent neurobiologists * How information your child gets about common infections like herpes, warts, and Chlamydia is whitewashed * When “safe sex” isn’t safe: why condoms won’t protect your teens from some of the most serious sexually transmitted diseases * How sex educators try to normalize fringe behaviors—ignoring the health risks to your children The sex education establishment would like to lull you into thinking that they know best—but the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections in young people today is testimony to a system that’s gone mad. The sex education establishment claim to promote sexual health, we fi nd, overall, little encouragement of restraint or self-discipline. Instead, students are informed that at any age, sexual freedom is a ‘right’. Most resources have one-liners such as “abstaining from sexual contact is the surest way to avoid infection,” or “for all STDs, abstinence is the best protection.” But these messages are like postscripts or disclaimers, and delaying sexual activity until adulthood is not presented as a viable alternative with considerable rewards. We cannot rely on an adolescent’s consistent ability to ‘use their heads’, because this skill is still under construction. Neuropsychology says teens are not ready for sexual relationships. Sex education must say the same thing. It is our conclusion that the sexuality education programmes that have been reviewed are seriously fl awed, with both sins of commission, and sins of omission. The information is not accurate, comprehensive, or up-to-date. Sex is seen as risky only when it’s ‘unprotected’. The effi cacy of condoms is overstated, in some cases vastly so. The quantitative data about their use is absent. The vulnerability of the immature cervix and the hazards of anal intercourse are omitted. Chlamydia is incorrectly described as ‘easily cured’. Young people are led to believe that sex is easily divorced from emotional attachment. Worst of all, critical life and death information is distorted or ignored. Students are left misinformed, and with a false sense of security. Surely this is the last thing we want. We cannot expect teens to delay sexual activity while instructing them, “only you know when you’re ready”. It is the nature of adolescence to feel ‘ready’ for just about anything.

This bias extends beyond race to perceived privilege, as well: people tend to think that a broken leg hurts a lot less for a street kid in a drug-ravaged neighborhood than it does for a kid in the suburbs whose biggest hardship thus far was getting an iPhone 6 a week after launch day. Furthermore, doctors are twice as likely to marginalize and misdiagnose painful symptoms in black patients than in any other ethnicity. That is, a black person may tell their doctor they’re experiencing a pain level of 8, but the doctor will record it as a 4 to adjust for the Herculean pain sensors it has been randomly decided that black people possess. Having a reputation as a badass becomes a huge negative when even doctors don’t believe how much pain you’re in. 25% of College Professors Favor White Males Over Everyone T oday, the white and colored drinking fountains have gone, the protests have calmed, and the fists have lowered. But herein lays the quandary of our generation. We do not bear witness to the enforced racism of years past. Instead, we are a generation blessed in our comfort. Our culture emphasizes the image of equality when it lacks in substance, and there now remains a broken bond between those who suffer racism and those who assume its extinction. Indeed, we have made great strides, strides that uproot history and set precedent beyond our borders. But equality by law should not be the last step, but the first step. Today, there are much fewer justified acts of racism to suffice our conscience of its existence. Thus, we must change as racism changes. As racial hostility turns to neglect, we must recognize that racism permeates our culture in elusive ways that are blind to those who wish to be blinded, but stifling still to those who cannot escape it. We must confront our complacency in an era no longer segregated by law, but by economics. We must recognize that racism is alive but elusive? Silent in most cases, but still strong. We cannot allow the media’s desire for the impression of tolerance to betray the problems that still linger, and we cannot allow the once celebrated remedies for racial injustice to become the bastard children of a reluctant, neglectful government. In today’s racial environment, we cannot afford to stay comatose to the silent curses of racism simply because we need not remind ourselves anymore when seated on a bus or drinking at a fountain. A big part of the issue with racism is that they tend to be discussed as this thing that used to be a big problem once but now it’s TOTALLY SOLVED, yay us, go team, everyone go high five. The narrative I think a lot of people are told (at least when we’re kids in history class) is that we *used* to have a problem with racism, with slavery and then segregation and bus boycotts and such, but then we learned our lesson and we realized what fools we were! We changed the laws! Everyone suddenly stopped being racist! Thank God all of that foolishness is over with! And yet the reality is that it hasn’t even been 50 years since the Voting Rights Act was passed. Tons of people are still alive that were around for the civil rights movement, and opposition to it. Do we really think that the people who viciously opposed the civil rights movement stopped being racist the second the Voting Rights Act passed? Or that they didn’t pass any of those thoughts on to their kids? The reality is racism is layered in every frabic of our society, Its comming from a white is good black is bad mentality, Countless thoudsnds of people bleach their skin because they have been hypnotise to feel bad about being dark or think they will be easier accepted in society. Every Race deserves the right to live and love who and what they are. Good and bad people exist in every race and now a days its best to judge people on their own individual merits. Shooting Game Simulation Shows People Are Much Quicker to Shoot Black Men In case you have spent your adult life avoiding all forms of news media, the shooting of unarmed black citizens is a huge, urgent issue in modern-day America. To put it in numbers: black teenagers are 21 times more likely to be killed by a cop than white ones. And while there are no doubt lots of reasons why this happens -- arrest procedures, training issues, etc. -- science says that at heart we’re all just more afraid of black people. Mostly on a subconscious level -- which, in fact, is where most prejudice happens. Joshua Correll, a researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder, developed a web-based game that puts the player in the role of a police officer who randomly encounters a series of black and white men -- some armed and some holding objects like wallets, cellphones, and Slurpees (but holding them aggressively). The player is then given a short amount of time to decide whether or not to. You already can guess the result. When presented with a black subject, players had a much itchier trigger finger -- even if the object held by said subject was something decidedly nonlethal, like a flashlight or some other non dangerous item. By contrast, they took much longer to decide whether the white subjects presented an immediate danger, even when the subject was obviously holding a handgun. Now, here’s the kicker: results were similar across the board, regardless of whether the players were white, black, young, or old. The above seems to combine two basic false beliefs: that black people are more likely to have evil intentions and that it takes a more immediate and violent response to stop them. What you may find is what science already knows: being open-minded and tolerant takes effort and consideration. When put under stress and made to make a split-second decision, we tend to fall back on old knee-jerk deeply implanted impulses created by years of conditioning. Most Whites Cannot Feel Black Peoples Pain Researchers decided to test the racial empathy gap, which suggests that people are unable to empathize with pain in people of different races. A series of experiments showed that white subjects’ palms began to sweat uncontrollably when they were forced to watch a white person’s skin get prodded with a needle. Conversely, when watching the needle come into contact with black skin, they sweated less -- meaning that they didn’t “feel the pain” as much when seeing it inflicted on a black person. This potentially goes a long way in explaining why the survival rate for every nonwhite character in a horror movie hovers somewhere between 10 percent. Another study asked participants to rate how much pain they would experience from everyday occurrences, such as stubbing a toe or getting shampoo in their eye, as compared to another randomly selected black or white subject. The participants overwhelmingly rated the same injuries as being more painful for white people. Even nurses assumed that common injuries cause more pain in white people. A group of researchers led by Katherine Milkman at the University of Pennsylvania wanted to see if professors responded differently to unsolicited emails reaching out for mentorships, depending on whether said request came from Todd Stevenson, Jenny Bluth, or Lamar McPersonofcolorston. After emailing more than 6,500 professors at the top 250 schools in the country, they found that names that sounded like they belonged to minorities and women were as much as 25 percent less likely to get a positive reply than white-sounding male names, such as Channing Butterworth. Other than the names of the senders, the messages were completely identical. They were all some variation of, simply, “I’m a big admirer of your work, and I am considering a PhD in your field. Would you kindly take 10 minutes to meet with me?” the biggest disparities happened among professors in private universities and in fields that are very lucrative, such as engineering and the sciences. The stats on business schools were the worst, which pretty much coincides with the rich, white, boys club we all picture big business to be.What was surprising was that, again, the professor’s race, gender, and department had no bearing on the snubs -- the fictional white male sounding names were heavily favored above everyone else. So, if you’re a college hopeful looking to earn a PhD with the help of a mentor in your chosen field, the best advice we can offer is to change your name to Channing Butterworth. Regardless of the race or gender of the person at the other end, chances are they’ll (consciously or subconsciously) decide you’re more deserving of their time. People Are Willing To Pay Blacks Less For The Same Service. Airbnb an online website similar to eBay operates on the basis of trust. Every host has a detailed profile that includes a photograph, reviews from past hosts or guests, and recommendations from friends. It’s basically Facebook, if Facebook included an open invitation for strangers on the Internet to sleep in your guest bed for hundreds of dollars a week. However, research shows that people, regardless of skin color, tend to find white faces more trustworthy than black faces. This is especially true when money is involved: people are willing to take bigger financial risks with a stranger if the stranger looks more like Randy Quaid than Denzel Washington. This helps explain the results of a recent study by two professors at Harvard Business School examining the differences between what white and black hosts charge for rooms on Airbnb. The professors canvassed every New York City listing on the site and found that white hosts were able to charge 12 percent more than black hosts for near-identical rooms in practically the same location The difference in price is greater in neighborhoods that people think of as unsafe -- suggesting that rooms in less desirable areas offered for rent by white hosts are seen as safe havens in unsafe neighborhoods, while those from black hosts are perceived as being about on par with the Thunderbird Motel in terms of likelihood of being murdered in a late-night invasion. Despite the fact that the rooms in question are virtually identical, people would apparently rather sleep in their cars than pay a black host the same amount as a white host on Airbnb website. And that’s the thing -- you’d like to think that in the cold, cruel world of business, only the bottom line (money) matters. Why say no to a paying customer, regardless of race? But think about everything you’ve read up to now: in a world where people are afraid of (or at least, unnerved by) black folks, you might figure it’s bad business to rent to them if it means scaring away your other customers. It’s kind of like how supposedly liberal Hollywood is careful not to cast too many black actors in a movie, for fear it will scare away white audiences. Even if you’re not racist, you might wind up running your business on the assumption that other people are. This allows the whole cycle to continue.

Timbuktu, city of gold, ancient centre of learning, is slowly turning to dust. The Sahara desert is stifling life, but residents know the blame lies not only with natural forces. Timbuktu is teetering on the edge of existence also because of human neglect, war and greed. Under-development and corruption are the co-conspirators of desertification. The city is not only garrisoned physically, it is mentally sanded in. T Timbuktu’s Great Mosque imbuktu was a thriving center of scholarship instrumental to the spread of Islam in Africa. It retains three notable mosques and one of the world’s great collections of ancient manuscripts. The history books say Timbuktu boasted 25,000 students in its heyday, having established one of the world’s earliest universities in the 12th century. These days, visitors arrive mostly from the south. Garrisoned in rebel territory ever since it was seized and occupied in 2012-13 by secessionists and Islamists linked to Al-Qaida, the city is a dangerous 600 mile drive north-east of Mali’s capital, Bamako. A Niger riverboat runs for the three navigable months of the year. Journalists are advised to travel with the United Nations on its daily flight into the city. No planes are open to the Malian public. Meet KanKan Mansa Musa I of Mali – the richest human being in all history. A combination of awe and wealth built fabulous mosques and intellectual vibrancy. In the 19th century, European explorers died trying to get here. Timbuktu became lodged in the collective imagination as a place so extraordinary that it might not exist at all. Fourteenth Century Italian Map of West Africa With an inflation adjusted fortune of $400 billion, Mansa Musa I would have been considerably richer than the world’s current richest man, Carlos Slim, who ranks in 22nd place with a relatively paltry $68 billion. The list, compiled by the Celebrity Net Worth website, ranks the world’s 24 richest people of all time. The list advertises itself as the top 25, but 26 names appear in the list. The list uses the annual 2199.6 per cent rate of inflation to adjust historic fortunes – a formula that means $100 million in 1913 would be equal to £2.299.63 billion today. Mansa Musa I ruled West Africa’s Malian Empire in the early 1300s, Many mosques he built as a young man still stand today. Accompanied by thousands of richly dressed servants and supporters Musa made generous donations to the poor and to charitable organizations as well as the rulers of the lands his entourage crossed. Mansa Musa was a very rich African king. He was said to have more than 500 people with him on the hajj (pligtimage)to Meca each carrying a staff of solid gold. When Mansa Musa passed through the Egyptian city of Cairo, legends say he gave away so much gold that the price of gold fell, and the economy was affected for more than twenty years. The appearance of a wealthy king from a faraway land made a deep impression on the people he encountered, causing Mali to appear on maps throughout the Middle East and Europe. For the first time, sub-Saharan Africa became well known north of the Sahara Desert. This West African city—long synonymous with the uttermost end of the Earth—was added to the World Heritage List in 1988, many centuries after its apex. Timbuktu was a center of Islamic scholarship under several African empires, home to a 25,000-student university and other madrasahs that served as wellsprings for the spread of Islam throughout Africa from the 13th to 16th centuries. Sacred Muslim texts, in bound editions, were carried great distances to Timbuktu for the use of eminent scholars from Cairo, Baghdad, Persia, and elsewhere who were in residence at the city. The great teachings of Islam, from astronomy and mathematics to medicine and law, were collected and produced here in several hundred thousand manuscripts. Many of them remain, though in precarious condition, to form a priceless written record of African history. If Not you Have Another Opportunity KanKan Mansa Musa Mansa Musa, fourteenth century emperor of the Mali Empire, is the African ruler most known to the world outside Africa. When we think of the world’s all-time richest people, names like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and John D Rockefeller immediately come to mind. But few would have thought, or even heard of, Mansa Musa I of Mali – the obscure 14th century African king who was today named the richest person in all history. The mosque at Timbuktu built by Mansa Musa was the heart of the kingdom of Mali. The empire of Mali expanded after the fall of Ghana, reaching its height under the rule of Kankan Musa (c. 1312-1327 C.E.). Many monumental mosques were constructed during the reign of Mansa Kankan Musa who is still remembered as a great African Islamic ruler. Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage boosted Islamic education in Mali by adding mosques, libraries, and universities. The awareness of Musa by other Islamic leaders brought increased commerce and scholars, poets, and artisans, making Timbuktu one of the leading cities in the Islamic world during the time when the most advanced nations from Spain to central India were Muslim. Timbuktu was clearly the center of Islamic Sub-Saharan Africa. After Mansa Musa I death in 1331, however, his heirs were unable to hang on to the fortune, and it was substantially depleted by civil wars and invading armies. Killing Of Clementa Pinckney Was A Targeted Assination T he killing Of Rev. Clementa Pinckney is being labeled a random hate crime but I believe he was purposely targeted for assignation. It is just too convenient for a man that is so highly profiled a Senator, a black activist well loved and very influential to call this just a random hate crime. The shooter could have chosen any other church in South Carolina but just happened to choose this one. Some one wanted to get this man out of the way and that is what they did. Rev. Clementa Pinckney In a sermon delivered at a YWCA event in late April entitled “Requiem on Racism,” Pinckney said that love alone could end racism. “Irregardless of our faiths, our ethnicities, where we are from, together we come in love,” he said. “Together we come to bury racism, to bury bigotry, and to resurrect and revive love, compassion, and tenderness.” Pinckney, 41, was the pastor at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the oldest African-American houses of worship in the country. Pinckney, together with the Rev. Al Sharpton, led a prayer vigil for Walter Scott, an unarmed black man shot by white police officer Michael Slager in Charleston in April. In response to Scott’s killing, Pinckney pushed the state legislature to require police officers to wear body cameras. “Body cameras help to record what happens,” a local NBC news affiliate reported Pinckney as saying in May. “It may not be the golden ticket, the golden egg, the end-all-fix-all, but it helps to paint a picture of what happens during a police stop.” A married father of two, Pinckney was elected to the state house at age 23 in 1997, making him the youngest member of the house at the time. “I think my age is an advantage: I’m not set in my ways and not set in old ways,” Pinckney told The Post and Courier, a local newspaper, after his election to the state senate in 2001. “Just like slavery needed to die out, old ideas need to die out. Being young allows me to be open-minded.” Pinckney was a “man that really influenced all walks of life,” Belanger told Al Jazeera. “He was able to bring people together at a grassroots level and at the same time, in his political status and position he held in the state and in the government, he was and was able to bring all parties together.” Mr. Pinckney was an impassioned advocate for human rights. As a state senator he campaigned for legislation requiring members of the police force to wear body cameras. He had recently been seeking to raise awareness about gun violence against African-American men and had led a rally after Walter L. Scott, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by a white police officer in North Charleston, S.C. He had also been campaigning on behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president. The Rev. Joseph Darby of Beaufort African Methodist Episcopal Church told MSNBC that Mr. Pinckney was a courageous man. “He was a very caring and competent pastor and he was a very brave man,” he said. “And brave men sometimes die very difficult deaths.” PAGE R11 Volume 44 Issue 56- June 15 to July 15th, 2015 For Your Comments & Advertisement Tel: 647-345-1439 E-mail: jamaicanxpress@gmail.com Delicious Jamaican Style Dishes Lunch Special Stew & Jerk Chicken $4.99 3125 Dufferin St Near Lawrence Ave 416-871-8383 Lawrence Square Food Court 647-862-2862/647-862-8638 For The Best Roti In Town Try Indar’s Roti & Doubles Sheridan Mall at 1700 Wilson Ave Unit 195 Tel: 416-614-7776 Carribean House West Indian And Chinese 2531 Finch Ave W.

It’s part of an even larger community that is about 10,000 square miles and appears to have been constructed -- are you ready -from 160,000 to 200,000 BCE!

But, oddly, no one ever bothered to inquire about who could have made them or how old they were. The image [top of page] is a close-up view of just a few hundred meters of the landscape taken from google-earth. The region is somewhat remote and the “circles” have often been encountered by local farmers who assumed they were made by some indigenous people in the past. But, oddly, no one ever bothered to inquire about who could have made them or how old they were. This changed when researcher and author, Michael Tellinger, teamed up with Johan Heine, a local fireman and pilot who had been looking at these ruins from his years flying over the region. Heine had the unique advantage to see the number and extent of these strange stone foundations and knew that their significance was not being appreciated. Ruins mostly consist of stone circles. “I see myself as a fairly open-minded chap but I will admit that it took me well over a year for the penny to drop, and for me to realise that we are actually dealing with the oldest structures ever built by humans on Earth. The main reason for this is that we have been taught that nothing of significance has ever come from southern Africa. That the powerful civilizations all emerged in Sumeria and Egypt and other places. We are told that until the settlement of the BANTU people from the north, which was supposed to have started sometime in the 12th century AD, this part of the world was filled by hunter gatherers and socalled Bushmen, who did not make any major contributions in technology or civilization.” -- Tellinger Where it was found The individual ruins mostly consist of stone circles. Most have been buried in the sand and are only observable by satellite or aircraft. Some have been exposed when the changing climate has blown the sand away, revealing the walls and foundations.

The number of ancient gold mines suggests the reason for the community being in this location. We find roads -- some extending a hundred miles -- that connected the “When Johan first introduced me to the ancient community and terraced agriculture, closely resemstone ruins of southern Africa, I had no idea of the bling those found in the Inca settlements in Peru. incredible discoveries we would make in the year or But one question begs for an answer -- how could two that followed. The photographs, artifacts and this be achieved by humans 200,000 years ago? evidence we have accumulated points unquestionably to a lost and never-before-seen civilization that predates all others -- not by just a few hundred years, or a few thousand years... but many thousands of years. These discoveries are so staggering that they will not be easily digested by the mainstream historical and archaeological fraternity, as we have already experienced. It will require a complete paradigm shift in how we view our human history”. -- Tellinger The area is significant for one striking thing -- gold. “The thousands of ancient gold mines discovered over the past 500 years, points to a vanished civilization that lived and dug for gold in this part of the world for thousands of years,” says Tellinger. “And if this is in fact the cradle of humankind, we may be looking at the activities of the oldest civilization on Earth.” The Freeman Institute® Foundation Black History “Overcomer’s” Gallery Project This is what you will see on google-earth at 25 37’40.90”S / 30 17’57.41E [A].
