lol. I have to say that you are right. Complacency.

Thank you @Pioneer1 And, I have listen to some of the videos, but now that you've posted a cache of them, I look forward to going through them again because I think he is awesome. But again, I still want to know more about his personal challenges that led him to be the kind of person that he is. I think that is crucial. yes. absolutely.

I can see why Black folk would want to leave for this very reason. They don't see this voting system as an alternative. And, for so many, i have to agree. I do applaud the ones that make the effort to try for change though because I don't believe that everyone has that opportunity to leave captivity and fare good in other countries. So I appreciate the Black Americans that do fight this American system to try and bring some relief. You're right!

Okay, Thank you! But obviously, Black folks are still NOT successful in doing that. So to me, what that new poster in this forum said makes so much sense as she said, i think, that she gave this approach up due to many Blacks that undercut the very phrase. She gave an account on how many Blacks contradict this process because they are obsessed with issues of Colorism. She said that many Blacks listen to Neely Fuller because they see him as being like a god because he is fair skinned and those same kind of Black folk are a contradiction to the very phrase. The new posters name is, I think Laydee gagga. @Laydee Gaga. So therefore, thanks to you, I now have an even better understanding of what she said. so now I am wondering if there is another phrase that she may have said in this regards.

@Troy One of my sons talks about it all the time. He keeps telling me about this topic and speaks about Thailand. He's mentioned how ADOS have picked up and went to places like Panama too. I still think it's a trend but there is a bigger picture too, that has not come out yet. i don't see any connections yet, but I wonder about how the conflicts with this very subject is playing out in places like London and immigration conflict over there. Many people want to come to America and then you have some Americans that want to leave.

No! If I were a Mexican, i would not come to America, if America had done the right thing. I wouldn't waste my time being an illegal immigrant because I knew I would not get anything that was suppose to go to an African American DOS. People know where to go to get freebies. You won't here people scrambling to go to a third world country, would you?

Here's another first hand account of which I believe adds to this confusion about the American Indian stolen identity: Before I start, I won't be surprised if this comes off as offensive. But I have just heard a phrase in this community that, to my amazement, speaks to my frustration and the kind of severe abuse that I have endured. I had no idea there was a phrase for it, counter racism. I believe this inner racism and Colorism that has occurred within the American Indian nations even before the Europeans came over here has added to their detriment and needs to be addressed. One day, my husband and I got in a van that belonged to my brother-in-law, and he is Jamaican. He was not present. But his wife, one of my husband's sisters, drove the van. While my husband and I sat in the back seat, some of his sisters were up front and loudly joking. His sister's began to joke and they kept going on and on. The first one started the joke and then the others chimed in and they kept going on and on and laughing and they thought it was so funny. One of them said, "He's so Black, how black is he!? Ha ha ha..." Then another said, "He's so black, he's as black as this crayon! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" On and on, they went. They were talking about my brother-in-law. I was new to the family and so, this was the first time, I had heard them do this. I did not see the humor at all. My husband was quiet for a moment as he sat in the back. But then, after a few minutes, and all of a sudden, my husband, leaned forward and said, 'M--, Stop it! Stop it right now!" Although all of them were joking like that, but my husband addressed the comment to his youngest sister, the one driving the van which was the wife! But they all stopped abruptly. and did not do it anymore. They changed the subject. After a while, i thought to myself, how was that even funny? What is so funny about being dark skinned? And you Black too!? Geez. They are obviously not dark skinned but, they are definitely 'Negroes'. smh. So I soon came to learn that was a big part of their conversations in family gatherings. And yes, they got really mad at me, because I didn't think it was so funny. And, i definitely jumped back at them and deliberately picked fights with them. I never told my brother-in-law because I came to realize that most of Black folk joke like that and it has become subconscious, I guess. Some Black women, whether they are Colored, or Native American, or Black American, whatever, can be really evil in their conversation about Colorism and worse than men. It is crazy and if you disagree, you better believe, you gonna be severely oppressed. But I now know the phrase, counter racism.

I've seen that information and heard him on brief videos. He's powerful! But I still wonder why there is no public biography about him such as on wikipedia. Who were his parents? What is his background as far as where he was born, grew up and went to school?

See, I think you are of a higher class. Not all Black Americans want to have to be reduced down to having to need the government to give them free medical insurance that they have to pick 'what is offered', or receive food assistance, and housing assistance because you cannot get income to not have to depend on it. That is how oppressive America is too most of us Black folk. I can't believe that you don't understand this. How many White people have immigrated here, went to college or some training school, and be able to get jobs that offer a good income so they can choose the neighborhoods they want to live in. They can buy homes, get mortgages and not have to depend on 'hand outs' and live in low income communities? If you achieved high above the mark and applied for jobs that you know you did not get because you are Black and you know many White people did not have to press as hard as you did and gotten better jobs, homes, lifestyle, then you know tht this system is unfair. Many Black people are pushed down at the level and much lower than immigrants. This government is wrong for their immigration program. yes they are, but I am not saying that Republicans won't do it either. I think that they will. But, that immigration program is obvious and if the Democrats are doing it, then it is wrong. Of course, they're doing it. Obama is an immigrant. And so is Kamala Harris. So, as far as me being 'an immigrant', I could be if i chose, but as a Black American from South America or etc., I would not immigrate to America from Brazil or Haiti illegally, no way, because, I beleive they would put me in an inner city among Black Americans that are poverty stricken and they would not do that to an illegal Mexican immigrant.

Thank you for helping me to understand what you meant. Because i don't want to be offensive. I think that couple is funny and remind me of I Love Lucy and Carol Burnette skits. And I did think it was a decent gesture to give a shout out to a positive inter-racial family as a nice add on. But, I've posted some other favorites of mine too of Black humor and you commented on them and seem to suggest that you had liked them. I've posted some of my all out favorite comedians, Katt Williams and Chris Rock, and you've seem to like them.

I brought this news to my husband's attention. He is not happy to see that woman pose as Haliwa Saponi. It is so depressing to know that Biden will be addressing his apology to people that have assumed the identity of the victims. I researched a little more about the woman, Dana Hedgpeth. I remember asking my father-in-law, [Papa] why he did not apply for an Indian card. I don't remember exactly what he said though. It was years ago, after I went to a Pow wow held near his land in Suffolk, Virginia. He said something to the affect that he didn't need a card to prove his identity. 'Hedgpeth'--that name is not even an American Indian name! It's an English name, with origins in Old English and Netherlands. It stems from the root word 'Hague'. I am going to share a little of my stories I could say about my husband's people: When I met my husband at the shipyard in Virginia, one day, I shared with him that one of the supervisors in one department was constantly bothering me. He was a married man and he kept trying to date me. He did not care that I told him that I was dating another man. That did not matter to him. But, when I told my boyfriend [later he became my husband] the surname of the supervisor, he said, "That's my relative." Then he told me to give him his name, and that would stop him immediately. So I did. He was right. My boyfriend [husband] started telling me at that time, the major surnames of all his relatives because there were a lot of them in the region. He said, 'If you meet anyone with the name like 'Richardson', 'Evans', 'Fletchers', 'Silvers', 'Rudd', ..., those are probably my people." He told me that his father told him to NOT date anyone in or around the town of Enfield, NC because they are all probably your cousins. American Indians were 'big' on the issue of breaking incest due to the birth defects that began to occur. Dana Hedgpeth Morse, is a member of the nation formed by some council to where she has an Indian ID card, but she actually cannot even pronounce the tribal name correctly! smh. I listen to her interview when she said that she was Haliwa Saponi. My Papa, corrected me when I tried to pronounce it. That is key. And furthermore, she does not even embrace the whole tribal name. She does not say 'Souian'. That is key. The council adopted the name, Saponi' late in time. 1970s. But prior to the time when they became state recognized, these people adopted the name; Haliwa. However, in the 1950's when they did this, they soon found out that they could not be recognized because they were not American Indian!!! So, they carved out a little area in Hollister and came up with a council and put on pow wows. They are intermixed with the natives but the term 'Haliwa' reflects that late time period when a lot of Europeans who had a little blood wanted to get benefits as Native Americans. Dana Hedgpeth Morse, in her own words, married a White man and has three daughters. And she is the one to represent the ancient Saponi tribe. So years later, they appealed to the 'real' natives, 'the Saponi' and then adopted this name and so, then they became recognize by the state, but still today, they are not federally recognized. The Saponi natives are indeed, native and they were 'negroes'; Sapa. Black. The history of the natives has been doctored tremendously. The Saponi and Catawba, and Tutelo, are Souian and this is the key of which Hedgpeth does not say because she does not realize the true origins. It is the language too, that causes the distinction among the early natives. The books are a confusion. The Haliwa Saponi are not a mixture of the Saponi, Tuscaroran, and Nansemond, because they are three distinct peoples! No male in those tribes are going to just give up their manhood and become another identity. They did intermix but, what the books are saying is a complete joke. The Europeans came and intermixed and then write a completely false story and are trying to script themselves in. I remember how once, the Black college students protested at a 'Step Show Competition' because a group of White girls entered the competition and altlhough, they did a great job, but NO ONE stole another Greek step and performed it! The White girls may have not known the unspoken rules of Black folk, but the Black girls protested. And so, the trophy was taken back. These White girls performed the steps of the AKA, the ZETA, etc. and combined them, and we know, you just don't do that. It's taboo. That is what these White Europeans have done, in a sense with the Native American history. They write the Haliwa Saponi are a mixture of Saponi and Tuscaroran and Nansemond, etc. That is so crazy! So now, Biden has apologized to who? When people see my husband, they keep asking him 'What are you'? They can't figure him out because they don killed off so many 'Black' Indians and put many of them on the slave yard or shipped them out to the West Indies, that when you see one, they can't figure out why they keep wondering about their facial features!??? When you look at my husband 'face on', he look like a typical Negro, IMO. But when he turns sideways, then people usually stare at him and become confused. If he shaves his naps, people can then see the distinction more. And then there is his mother inheritance ...

Certainly, not voting is a problem. @Troy Certainly, not voting is a problem. I could see where one might believe that NOT voting for a 'positive' Black American DOS to be the president as being a problem. But when Black Americans try to bully another Black to vote for a White person or a part-White person to be their leader, now that is a problem.

Should I feel insulted @Troy ? So if the skit was with a 'Black woman' then, you maybe would consider that there is some 'level of truth in it'? You don't believe that this government is giving benefits to immigrants over Black Americans in terms of housing and jobs? Just recently, I know a Black person who has just been served 'a judgement' for housing and rent. This person earned a degree, passed national exams, got married to a Black man who has a degree and they had two children, lost their careers do to false allegations. They lost thier children due to false allegations. They have been financially destroyed and cannot get good jobs and housing. Meanwhile, immigration seems to be a big issue in politics. You don't believe that this government is financially helping immigrants more than their own citizens? smh.

Absolutely!

Yes, I can see that! But, I wonder too, if this is king of like a way to protect yourself, I mean, like settling for little things and adopting 'habits' because of settling for little pleasures just to avoid oppression. I think they 'we' want freedom but some of us have given up on the reality of it ever happening, so we settle.

WOW! I once googled to try to learn more about the huge support of Neely Fuller and found nothing. No. bio of him that I could find. I wondered who his parents were and where he was born, grew up, etc. and I found nothing on wikipedia or anywhere. So, this information is a shock to me. I've seen only a few pictures of him and saw that he did look White, but that did not mean anything to me, as there are many 'Black people' that may look white but are from our Black world. So, after a while, i just left off of trying to find out why so many Black 'Knowledge of self' people seems to swear by everything he says. I still embrace the message though, but I wondered about his background. So this post is insightful!

Thank you much!

This is SOOOooo diabolical. Deception. Depressing. Even so, I am grateful for this thread. Let me just write a little of my anger; I remember in 4th Grade seeing the pictures of naked black, ugly, slaves, with shackles around their necks with the background setting of slave ships and auction blocks and Europeans and how I soon came to feel so unbearably and gradually ashamed to have to show my face. In the same book(s) I remember seeing the pictures of American Indians painted with elaborate face designs, fierce features, tan skin, and straight haired mohawks, etc. with the background setting of neatly structured villages, camp fires, and beautifully dressed women. So soon, by 6th grade, i became a SM--a Selective mute throughout my school years up until my senior year in high school. So now, let me reference this point: Ha! Identity theft. The irony! So the White woman, Lisa Desjardin and Dana Hedgpeth, a member of the Haliwa Saponi, passionately puts forth this story and address the topic of how this government forced thousands of American Indian boys into schools to erase their identity. WOW! Okay. Thank you. But let me post a picture of Dana Hedgpeth, who is 'a member' of the Haliwa Saponi tribe, because she does NOT look like my husband at all: Dana Hedgpeth, a member of Haliwa Saponi tribe Dana Hedgpeth Washington, D.C. Reporter covering local breaking news Education: University of Maryland at College Park Dana Hedgpeth is a Native American journalist who has been at The Washington Post for 25 years. She is an enrolled member of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe of North Carolina. From Dana Hedgpeth, a local reporter and member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe of North Carolina: “’But you don’t look like an Indian!’ I’ve heard that response more than a few times from people when they learn that I am an American Indian. I am a member of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe of North Carolina. I grew up in the D.C. suburbs, not on a reservation. In fact, our tribe doesn’t have a reservation, but my family often travels to Hollister, N.C., where the Haliwa-Saponi have their tribal homelands, for cultural gatherings or events. https://www.instagram.com/washingtonpost/p/CyMryjluDTE/?img_index=1 ____________________________________ WOW! So now, that my husband people's identity have been replaced by someone with the likes of Dana Hedgpeth, we are now vindicated!? She is now representing my husband's people and speaking for him in how wrong it is to just offer an apology. She is definitely making her money, and a lot of it while we are financially destroyed here in America. Jesus Christ. This is no different than what happened to the nation building of the Jews during the Greco-Roman times before the rise of the Roman Empire. By the time that the 'Real' Jews traversed down from the Decapolis into the temple, the watered down Jews of the nation who became -- Uh -- 'a member of the Jews'-- the Original Jews had all been beatened down, attacked, deprived of an education, and their identities stolen. The 'real' Jews were being represented by 'members of the Jewish nation' and vehemently rejected to speak for themselves. Jesus Christ. Even though, it may not matter, I will say this, yes, the American Indians had been watered down and obsessed with issues of Colorism long before the European perverts came and set up their boarding schools. So, there are a lot of Dana Hedgpeth's among the nation of Haliwa Saponi Souix but she is not an original. The Haliwa Saponi in the Fredericksburg and Lynchbury area that i saw look different and much lighter skinned than the ones in North Carolina in my husbands family. But they are definitely divided on Colorism and the divisions amongst us is intense. Most of them want to be White nowadays. My husband's people live in Halifax county, and Enfield, and Rocky Mount, North Carolina and that is where they are in concentration. My father-in-law said, like Dana said, that the Europeans mocked them and told them to go to the Cherokee reservation in Tennessee because they did not provide any reservations for them. But Haliwa Saponi are completely different than Cherokee. So they just melted into the woods... And so, a few years ago, I found my Great grandmother's grave and tombstone and stood beside it and took a photo however, it took me two years to realize something that never occurred to me due to how I was conditioned in school and by my relatives. If she was a Tuscaroran woman, then what am I? I was conditioned to view myself as being completely non-native American and full Black DOS. If her identity as an American Indian woman is passed onto her descendants then how is it that the pictures of Tuscaroran Indians today look like Europeans and not my people? Even though she was stolen as a little girl and placed with a slave family, does that mean she ceased to be Tuscaroran? She look Tuscaroran until the day she died, but that doesn't count? Who would benefit from an apology today? Dana Hedgpeth already makes a great income, so what would it benefit her to tell our story? Jesus Christ. And now, let me shed some more light on the 'REAL' Native American Indian boys in St. Louis, 'Misery', forced in the boarding schools in Florissant city, 'Missouri and then, POOF!--Made to disappear so now, America can offer an apology to the Pueblo Indians of today who say that their identity was stolen. Jesus Christ!!! i will share more but for now, briefly; I lived in St. Louis, Missouri a few years ago for the first time when we faced a financial downfall. I went to live with my relative. It was surreal. One day, I drove to sight see and visited a church in the Spanish Lake area. We took an exit onto Florissant blvd and drove past a little restaurant called Sweetie Pie near the corner. About a mile up, we turned left in shopping strip to turn around and immediately realized it was a rough and dangerous area called Ferguson shopping. There was a convenient store directly across but we turned right and headed back up the road. We passed by QT convenience store again now in the left and then by a street called Canfield. Then got back on the highway and headed back to highway K in the nearby district of O'fallon. Months later, before moved away, I decided to look at my pictures I took and google to learn more about that area. Jesus Christ. I found out that street was a major street. That is the same area of where this Catholic boarding school was located. Today, it is not Florissant city, but St. Louis and the district is actually Ferguson of which this thread details. The Ferguson convenience store was the actual store that the late Michael Brown went to before he was shot and murdered by the police officer. After he left out of that store, he went down and turned onto Canfield street and that is where he was actually shot. That entire Florissant blvd was where the mass protest occurred and the QT convenience store was vandalized. So to break this off right now, and say this; I've researched this area and actually Middle America and well, the Native Americans of whose identity has been systematically erased would be natives that actually looked like Michael Brown. ... The French and Indian trade, the French and Indian forts, etc., all erased now... Jesus Christ ... So now, I guess Biden can offer an apology to Dana Hedgpeth, a member of the Haliwa Saponi 'Souix' tribe [nation] and Deb Haaland of Puebla on our behalf? Thank you for posting. Even though, this kind of information brings me to deep anger, I would probably never had known about this federal apology because I am a Negro who just happens to have Tuscaroran blood running through my veins but definitely do not expect to get any form of reparations such as an apology.

Get out! I had no idea that the Marapi volcano in Indonesia was going to erupt the day after I posted this! That is crazy! Anyway, I am still in the learning phase and not saying this is a fact about comets affecting earth. Right now, it would be me hypothesizing. But these recent abrupt events are definitely supporting my hypothesis. ___________________________________________ https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=223020 https://www.kisorotoursuganda.com/mount-nyamuragira-volcano/ Significant volume of gas plume and volcanic material detected at Nyamulagira, DR Congo ByHarsha BorahFriday, October 25, 2024 https://watchers.news/2024/10/25/nyamulagira-volcano-eruption-october-2024/ Indonesia’s Marapi volcano erupts, spewing ash and hot clouds World | 27 Oct 2024 5:58 pm One of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes erupted Sunday, spewing thick columns of ash at least three times and blanketing villages with debris, ... https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/marapi/news/256120/Marapi-volcano-Western-Sumatra-Indonesia-massive-eruption-sent-ash-to-39-km-altitude-today.html

On the days just after the comet comes closest to earth and the day before it comes closest to the sun, these phenomena are happening! Right now, the comet is just below the horizon in the southern hemisphere. But after October 28, 2024, it can be seen just above the horizon in the northern hemisphere, if it survives the sun. So far, the volcano in South Africa suddenly began to show activity which led to a high level red warning being issued. And with no warning, the volcano Marapi in Indonesia erupts! Also, on October 24, 2024, the day the comet comes closest to earth, the hurricane in the Pacific has risen to a category 5! Hurricane Kristy strengthens into a Category 5 storm in the Pacific Ocean This satellite image provided by NOAA on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024 shows Hurricane Kristy. (NOAA via AP) Updated 5:51 PM EDT, October 24, 2024 MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hurricane Kristy strengthened into a Category 5 storm on Thursday and was expected to remain away from land as it churns in the Pacific Ocean and weakens over the coming days, forecasters said. The major hurricane was 970 miles (1,565 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico, and was moving west at 16 mph (26 kph). It had maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 kph), according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Center. https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-kristy-category-5-pacific-c5bfcf1cfcba99e88c0917e27e915539 I completely debauched this point 1 and tried to come back and edit but was not able to. So, I will correct it asap. I combined more than one comet and did not realize it until after I posted. I spoke about comet in 2023 called Nishimura and combined it with another comet.

This post reminds me of a clip that came up on my channel! Obamanos! This is the slogan that I will never forget because it was propagandized everywhere when Obama was running for office. There were bumper stickers on cars everywhere! That is what gets me, because I do not understand why African Americans did not see this is the main focus. Obama pushes immigration and now so does VP Harris. I don't understand why African Americans do not recognize that the immigration issue can be a significant problem when it comes to how we will thrive. I can understand us wanting a 'Black' president or leader but when America gives you a candidate then that may be a problem. African American DOS are now categorized as a class of immigrants and that is crazy. We are descendants of slaves and are the foundation of this American government. What about American Indians, are they now categorized as a class of immigrants!?

Definitely a matriarchy. I believe that America is dominated by White Supremacy and this system therefore is maintained from that perspective. So, part of keeping this dominance, Black Americans are conditioned to submit to a matriarchy. In a strange manner, the single Black mother is at a terrible disadvantage, however, the system caters towards her in order to channel funds to Black Americans. As a result, funds are offered through governmental welfare programs and the minority bourgeois class escape this because they can get jobs that provide a high enough income to avoid this trap. But unfortunately, most Black Americans receive money through governmental welfare programs which are strictly maintained and keeps us extremely oppressed. If Black men maintain relationships with their mothers or Black women, they will feel it in the pocket, but if they try to break away, they run the risk still of being pursued by the government. That is my opinion. Ah yes! The Bourgeoisie class. I feel like though, if we don't support them, then we will suffer and then otoh, if we do support them then we will receive crumbs, but, is it better than what the Republicans offer?

I've never heard of it practiced in that region. Can you provide some references? I know it was practiced though in other parts of Africa and in Ethiopia. This reminds me of an earlier origin during the Moorish period when the Europeans gained a foothold on trade. After they were able to expel the Moors and Jews from Europe. I've read a lot of material and remember how they vowed to bond together and never allow Black men to rule again and thus began the slave ship trade.

Absolutely! I don't know if it's 'inherently' but I do believe that we have more flavor than any other group on the planet! They copy us! Oh yes! I've heard one of my co-workers, a Nigerian girl, break it down to me about her father!

Marking History with Astronomy -- 2 Comets This Month October 2024; Comet C/2023 A3 & Comet C/2024 S1 Comet C/2023 A3 I saw this comet! It took me 'forever' to figure out how to use my binoculars and then where to look to see it. I went to my usual spot that I have driven to for the past couple of years but I could not see it from that position. This comet was located in the western skies and like most comets I've looked for, they seem to come into a region near the horizon and also they seem to all head towards the sun. It's like the sun is a 'gas station' for comets because they pick up a lot more energy to keep on moving through space. This is so fascinating for me! I can't believe that I am learning. I could not see it from my usual location by the time I learn how to use my 'locator app' because the comet could not be seen with the naked eye at that time and so, I had to depend on the app to locate it. At first, I did not believe the app was accurate, but I kept going back night after night and finally realized that the app was precise! But, due to the sky was not as dark as it needed to be and I was probably impatient too, I did not see it. So I drove to another area that was darker. I raised my app and got a signal, then raised by binoculars and almost past out for shock and joy! OMG, the tail was enormous. It look like a ghost in the dark sky. I am still in shock. Comet fever continues with potential visible comet for Halloween by Travis Clark-Smith 8 hours ago Comet fever is still a thing thanks to Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, but could we see another comet toward Halloween, maybe even in the daylight? ... "That comet is in a family called the Kreutz Stargrazer--Sungrazer--and those comets from that family--they're thought to have originated from one giant comet," says Dr. John Attewell, vice president of the Rochester Astronomy Club. He tells KIMT News 3 that this comet could be one of nearly a dozen 'great comets' that have passed near earth over the past two centuries. https://www.kimt.com/news/comet-fever-continues-with-potential-visible-comet-for-halloween/article_c6d70e0e-9320-11ef-8405-e7778a4ce66d.html ____________________________________________________ Comet C/2024 S1 The comet on 28 September 2024 Discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2024_S1_(ATLAS) C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) (previously had the temporary designation A11bP7I) is a sungrazing comet that was discovered by ATLAS-HKO in Hawaii on 27 September 2024. The comet will pass its perihelion on 28 October 2024, at a distance of about 0.008 AU (1.2 million km; 0.74 million mi) from the barycenter of the Solar System.[2] The comet has a similar orbit to the Kreutz sungrazers, which was created by the fragmentation of a large comet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2024_S1_(ATLAS) __________________________________________________________ The information offered about this comet is so scattered! In a strange sort of way, the information offered is as fragmented as the scientist say this comet is! This particular comet is deemed a separate comet, but however, it actually comes from an ancient giant comet that some say appeared about 900 years ago during the Crusades. This giant comet was observed by ancient civilizations and all recorded that the giant comet broke up and fragmented. So later comets that appeared and had the same behavior of travelling extremely close to the sun and became so bright that caused it to be seen during the daytime was determined to be a comet that came from this one giant comet. However, some ancient records reveal that this giant comet appeared much earlier in time even back to Roman times! But however, I want to add some of my little findings about the comets that are appearing in our inner solar system recently... Point 1 -- Last year around January and February 2023, there was a comet that appeared. It was a green comet, I think it was called ZTF or something like that. I need to go back and confirm. At any rate, at the time it came closest to our earth, there was a major catastrophe that occurred in Morocco and in and around the Mediterranean Sea. There was a major earthquake in Morocco and a major wind storm that caused a lot of flooding. And at some point there was 'a red tide' in Florida and Africa and more significant phenomena in California and Mexico as well. There was also a major earthquake in Turkey and it was reported that 40,000 people lost their lives. Point 2-- Last year in the month of October 2023, scientist had tracked a comet with precision of which i believe is the Atlas comet of today. Also there was a phenomenal solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023. Point 3-- A few months ago, in April 8, 2024, there was another phenomenal total solar eclipse and also scientist had tracked with precision another comet that appeared at the same time, called Pons-Brooks. This comet was brilliant. It exploded and grew two horns. Some scientist believe that Pons-Brooks might have been the same comet during the time of the Biblical Exodus. But I think there might be a mix up with reporting. At any rate, Pons-Brooks comet came closest to earth around June 2024 and right around that time, there was a 'freak ice storm' that occurred in certain regions of the west. In Mexico, right in the middle of a week of a heat wave, there was a hailstorm that dropped five (5) feet of ice! That is crazy! CONCLUSION-- Now that I am learning more about recent comets, I am coming to believe that these spectacular stars are one great mode to mark ancient history and confirm past events. I am learning the distinctions in how comets behave as oppose to asteroids. This recent comet dubbed, 'the Halloween Comet', is reported to have fragmented and has lost its head! But however, it is still moving towards the sun and the tail is in tact. But what I find to be fascinating is some patterns about this particular comet and how it may show patterns with ancient events. The report of this Halloween comet is that it fragmented from an ancient comet that was recorded to appear in the sky as a giant comet in the month of February 2, AD 1106: X/1106 C1, also known as the Great Comet of 1106, was a great comet that appeared on 2 February 1106, and was observed around the world from the beginning of February through to mid-March. It was recorded by astronomers in Wales, England, Japan, Korea, China, Continental Europe, and Egypt. It was observed to split into many pieces,[1] forming the Great Comet of 1882 and Comet Ikeya–Seki as well as over 4000 small sungrazing comets observed by the SOHO space telescope.[2][3] It is a member of the Kreutz Group, known as Subfragment I, a split from an earlier large (~150 km) comet that progressively fragmented under the influence of the Sun, possibly the Great Comet of 371 BC.[4][5][6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X/1106_C1 ____________________________________________________ The Month of February & the Month of October; The Full Moon, October 13, 1962 I hope to share more about comets especially about the two comets that are recorded to have occurred during the time of the Exodus, one of which actually marks the new religion called 'the Aten religion' that has been told today to be based on 'a sun religion' but in actuality, it was based on a major comet that appeared. This ancient comet was recorded in ancient China as well and like the Egyptians, this comet was recorded to show eight (8) tails! When I first read about this, I thought it sounded ridiculous, but now after seeing pictures of different comets, I do believe it. And then about forty years later, another comet appeared that marks the Exodus. Why am I so excited about sharing this kind of science in a Black community? Because I believe that this kind of science is deliberately hidden to mislead Black Americans and to show that the Black Church is lacking. Many of us want to blame the White Christians for our own negative behaviors but, the script has been presented for us to read and study for ourselves. So, I want to briefly highlight a major occurrence of the Giant Comet that was recorded to appear in the month of February in AD 1106 in connection with this same sun grazing comet C/2024 S1, the Halloween Comet that has now come closest to our earth on October 24, 2024. I want to shed some light on why this may be of interest to our scholars today and another interesting event(s) that have occurred that might be important to know. Long ago when the ancient kings dominated their own civilizations in ancient Egypt and Sumeria, etc. the month of February was the scientific end of the scientific year. And because of the leap cycle, every three (3) years, there was an extra month and for that whole month, it was a time of celebration. It was like our winter Christmas season but today, our end of the year is the month of December. The ancient Egyptians were the first masters of calibrating time and developing accurate Calendars and so February was a major time for them. Later, the Jews of Abraham also kept great Calendars and so, after the third year, Adar [February], then Veadar [2nd February] was celebrated for a whole month. Then by March 21-23rd, at the time of the Vernal equinox, the solar system was aligned. But later, the Roman empire changed the dates and times and so we know February as the second month, however, scientifically, February is still defined universally, as the 12th month of the year. Now, if you are reading this, you may wonder why am I sharing this? Well, I believe that there are some interesting events that have occurred in recent times that may be appreciated if the science behind it can be understood. Last year, there was a solar eclipse that occurred in October 2023 and this event would be important to know because of other major historical events that are not shared openly. Back during the time of the Exodus, the new year for Israel was changed to occur in September, however, every third year, the new year was moved to October to account for the leap days. So then, the 8th month became the new year, October 14 for Israel. Therefore, on the second day of the 8th month, the second day of that month, Solomon laid the foundation of the First Temple of God. Also on that very day, during the Exodus, the manna fell from heaven. Fast forward to the Roman Empire times, and this was the very week of the First Crucifixion. It occurred at the time of pagan festival of Saturnalia, a lunar holiday, at time when there was a total solar eclipse. So it would not be a coincidence that the media has referred to this comet in connection with this ancient festival Halloween which was actually the Saturnalia Festival. Nevertheless, this comet would not be the most interesting event but just one marker for how this ancient month October viewed in ancient times. However, this sungrazing comet does connect another major event that occurred back in 1962 as well. On February 5, 1962, there was a phenomenal planetary alignment that occurred and around that time period too, there was a total solar eclipse and a great comet that also appeared and became close to earth in April 1962. This solar system alignment led to other great events that year, one of which occurred in October 1962. On this date, October 13, 1962, the time was so accurately synchronized and the moon was 'a full moon'. So, although the Crucifixion occurred under a new moon, however, it would be the 'full moon' that synchronizes our solar system. The Crucifixion began on October 15 at 3:00 pm and the total solar eclipse began at 6:00 pm on a Thursday, October 16, the second day of Passover; the day bread fell from heaven during the Exodus and the day that Solomon laid the foundation of the temple. Three days later, on Sunday October 19, in the morning the First Resurrection occurred as it has been recorded. Fast forward on October 18, 1962, the solar system was aligned to precision and the moon was actually 19 days old, marking the actual scientific date to be October 19, 1962. During this very week, it was the Cuban missile crisis and significant events occurred on that date. But the most critical reason why this kind of astronomy would be important to know would be due to the hidden Biblical prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled that connect to these major time periods. The prophets wrote about the rise and fall of second Rome that would be a much greater significance more so than the First Roman times. Moses wrote about and detailed events about the rise of Second Rome and he wrote about the Second Coming of the great prophet and this is almost completely hidden right in plain face, so-to-speak. The prophet Daniel wrote about the rise and fall of second Rome almost 500 years even before Jesus came during the First Roman Empire. John the Revelator wrote about the rise of second Rome and the Second Coming. He also marked a time when a great star, a burning lamp, would come to mark time. Daniel also wrote about a great star 'cut out of a mountain' that would come into our atmosphere. The prophet Isaiah wrote about the Second Coming and a thousand years time span when mankind would exist after a time of great catastrophe. So the year 1962 and the months of February and October when the solar system became aligned was very significant. For the full moon to occur on October 13, 1962, was a fantastic alignment of all time! So by getting a better understanding on how to accurately make time would lead to a better understanding of what we may need to know now and help us to also not be so anxious today and fearful about what we should or should not do.
