#global unity

[a-typical]

“The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” ― Carl Sagan

Uncovering the Suppressed Truth: Has Humanity's Ancient Past Been Erased by Cosmic Powers?

Uncovering the Suppressed Truth: Has Humanity's Ancient Past Been Erased by Cosmic Powers?

For millennia, the story of human civilization has been told as a linear progression: from primitive hunter-gatherers to the sophisticated societies we inhabit today. Yet, lurking beneath the surface of official history and popular belief is a profound and unsettling anomaly.

If modern Homo Sapiens emerged at least 200,000 years ago, as archaeological and anthropological evidence suggests, where did the vast expanse of their early history vanish? Why does the archaeological record show a startling leap in cultural complexity – the Upper Paleolithic, typically associated with our species – only appearing a mere 50,000 to 40,000 years ago? And how did humanity, originating from a single point in Africa, seemingly explode across every continent with such bewildering speed?

This gaping chasm in our recorded past begs critical questions that mainstream academia often struggles to address. Consider the intellectual capacity of our earliest ancestors: while they possessed far less accumulated knowledge than we do now, their cognitive abilities were remarkably similar to modern humans. Despite the absence of formal schooling, knowledge has always been transmitted across generations, passed down through oral traditions, legends, and cautionary tales. The very capacity for articulate speech, crucial for complex information transfer, is believed to have developed in early Homo species between 1.7 to 2 million years ago. Even Neanderthals, our ancient cousins, possessed distinct speech capabilities. So, how can we reconcile an evolutionary timeline spanning 200,000 years with our species’ seemingly abrupt leap from rudimentary existence to space travel in just a single century?

The Echoes of Lost Civilizations: A Sinusoidal Saga?

The staggering 200,000-year timeline for human existence appears disproportionately long when viewed through the lens of our current technological acceleration. Scientific consensus, surprisingly, often suggests that a mere 30,000 years might be sufficient for a species like ours to evolve, develop complex societies, and spread across the planet. This begs a tantalizing question: if that estimation holds true, could humanity have given rise to over six advanced civilizations, similar to our own, during that colossal historical vacuum? The high probability of their existence, and their subsequent disappearance, sends shivers down the spine.

Consider the Sumerian civilization, whose early dynastic stage unfurled approximately 5,000 years ago in the 28th century BC. Their later achievements bespoke a highly developed society. The city-state of Babylon, for instance, boasted a population of 150,000 people and a formidable 97 kilometers of fortress wall by the 24th century BC. These ancient cultures cultivated sophisticated sciences, advanced medicine, and intricate astronomical knowledge, constructing towering ziggurats as high as 90 meters. How then, could humanity descend from the architectural and intellectual heights of Babylon to the squalid, plague-ridden, and frankly “miserable, dirty, smelly, vile hole” that was medieval Europe by the 10th century AD? This dramatic oscillation, this bizarre “sinusoidal” pattern of human development, defies conventional historical explanation.

The Anunnaki Hypothesis: Architects of Our Destiny or Overseers of Our Downfall?

Perhaps the answer lies not in terrestrial regression, but in extraterrestrial intervention. Could the enigmatic Anunnaki, figures woven into the very fabric of Sumerian mythology, be responsible for this perplexing historical rollercoaster? What if human development surges when their home world is distant, only to plunge into darkness and reset when this “wandering world” approaches ours, bringing these “alien gods” back to Earth? The chilling implication is that these cosmic visitors intentionally suppress our advancement, ensuring humanity never reaches a level where it could truly compete with them.

Alternatively, or perhaps concurrently, what if human civilization itself possesses a self-destructive gene? What if, upon reaching a certain technological zenith – imagine our current reliance on complex AI and digital infrastructure – a cataclysmic event or internal folly forces a reset? Those who survive such an apocalypse might find themselves utterly unable to comprehend or reactivate the remnants of our current knowledge. Imagine a future survivor staring blankly at an inert computer, utterly devoid of the understanding needed to even turn it on. The loss would be absolute.

Intriguingly, the period of this “wandering world’s” revolution is said to be 3,600 Earth years. According to some reports, this colossal celestial object is anticipated to re-enter our solar system around 2080. What fate, then, awaits humanity when these ancient cycles inevitably repeat?

The Pentagon’s Whispers: Are the Anunnaki Truly Returning?

The narrative deepens with a startling claim from a man with alleged insider Pentagon sources. According to Stan Deyo, a persistent “buzzword” within the hallowed halls of the Pentagon suggests that the very Sumerian Gods, the Anunnaki, are preparing for their return to Earth. This unsettling assertion aligns uncannily with observations of two celestial objects that have recently captivated astronomical attention: comets ISON and Encke.

One must question the seemingly arbitrary naming conventions. The word “on,” for instance, resonates profoundly with “An,” pronounced “on,” as in Anunnaki, and their revered leader, Anu (pronounced “ON-nu”). Furthermore, the prefix for ISON, “IS,” aligns directly with Isis, a mythical figure often equated with the Sumerian Goddess Inanna and Ishtar. Thus, breaking down ISON into “IS + ON” eerily spells out “Ishtar, of the Anunnaki.” Comet Encke offers an even more direct connection for those immersed in Anunnaki lore: Enki, pronounced “En-ki,” was a pivotal Sumerian God, later known as Ea (a name strikingly similar to “Earth”). Enki was revered as the deity of crafts, mischief, water, intelligence, and creation. Are these mere coincidences, or subtle nods to a deeper, concealed truth?

The Western Sky Enigma: A Star or a Spaceship?

Adding to the intrigue is a celestial anomaly that has captivated observers across the globe: a mysterious “UFO” currently visible in the western skies. Mobile astronomy applications like SkEye and Stellarium confirm that no major stars or planets are currently positioned in this particular region of the sky, rendering the anomaly truly unidentified.

While some speculate this object could be a benign Pleiadian or Arcturian vessel, the possibility of it being the vanguard of the returning Anunnaki remains a chilling consideration. Countless global reports and videos attest to this UFO’s baffling ability to change color and size, even revealing various sacred geometry shapes and intermittently shifting hues. If this celestial mystery is indeed the Anunnaki’s harbinger, one can expect immediate governmental obfuscation. A new, fabricated “star” will likely appear on our astronomical applications, serving as a convenient cover-up, meticulously designed to conceal the profound truth: we are not alone in this galaxy, nor this universe. For many, this reality will prove too much to bear; others will cling to denial. But for those capable of looking beyond the rigid confines of accepted paradigms, all possibilities exist, free from fear or apprehension.

Unraveling the Systems of Control: From Ancient Texts to Modern Tyranny

Governments, by their very nature, rarely offer us unfiltered truth, often burying crucial information under the convenient pretexts of “confidentiality” or “security risks.” It is therefore entirely plausible that most world governments possess foreknowledge of the Anunnaki’s impending return, yet remain terrified of revealing it to the public. Such a revelation, they fear, would inevitably collapse the existing economic slave systems and dismantle the world religions as we know them, fundamentally altering the very fabric of global power.

A thought-provoking excerpt from the Christian Bible, King James Version, invites deeper scrutiny. Genesis 1:26 famously states: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” This plural pronoun raises a crucial question: if there is but one singular God, why does the text not read, “Let Me make man in My own image”? Is it conceivable that the Bible itself, meticulously crafted and refined over centuries – notably with the King James Version being edited by the 33rd-degree Freemason Sir Francis Bacon, whose order’s motto is “ordo ab chao” (order out of chaos) – was designed as a sophisticated tool for human control through fear? After all, the very essence of religion, like government, often revolves around subservience, control, and conformity.

The Gold Slaves and the All-Seeing Eye: A Legacy of Manipulation?

Sumerian tales paint a dramatic picture of cosmic familial strife. Enki, the rebel deity, reportedly defied his father Anu, choosing to love humanity, the very beings Anu intended for servitude. Their conflict, a war that has allegedly raged ever since, echoes through millennia. Anu, one of the primary “creator gods,” is said to have deliberately manipulated our DNA, engineering humanity to be diligent slave workers, toiling in the Earth’s mines to extract precious gold for the Anunnaki’s use.

This chilling narrative prompts a compelling question: could this ancient agenda explain the Roman Catholic Church’s staggering accumulation of gold? With some sources estimating its holdings at a colossal 60,350 metric tonnes, the sheer volume of this precious metal within a religious institution is certainly noteworthy. Furthermore, the ubiquitous “all-seeing eye” atop the pyramid on the back of the US Dollar bill frequently triggers speculation. Is it merely a Masonic symbol, or could it represent the very entities – the Anunnaki – who have allegedly maintained humanity as economic slaves for thousands of years, pulling the strings of our financial systems from behind a veiled curtain?

The Awakening: Reclaiming Our DNA and Our Destiny

Regardless of how these profound mysteries ultimately unfold, a significant shift is undeniably underway. People across the globe are awakening to the pervasive tyranny and systemic oppression embedded within governmental structures. There’s a growing realization that our current modes of life, sustained by fiat currency and a deeply entrenched economic slave system, are fundamentally unsustainable.

A mere few thousand world leaders, it is argued, currently perpetuate this economic enslavement, while knowingly allowing the widespread pollution of our water, air, and food supplies. Meanwhile, the mainstream media relentlessly deploys fear as a potent tool, churning out state-sponsored propaganda designed to maintain the status quo.

Yet, there is immense power in unity. Humanity possesses the collective capacity to transcend this engineered reality, and it could literally happen overnight. But first, the vast majority of the “bottom of the pyramid” – all of us – must unite. We can no longer afford the corrosive divisions fueled by hatred of other countries, ethnicities, or races, for these engineered conflicts serve only to prevent our collective advancement as a single, interdependent civilization.

The Hopi prophecy resonates deeply with this burgeoning realization: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” In other words, the power to fundamentally alter our reality resides inherently within us, requiring no benevolent intervention from the Anunnaki or any other supposed extraterrestrial race. But the first, most critical step, is to truly unite as a global community.

Nibiru Reimagined: A Planetary-Sized Spaceship?

Further “leaks” and speculative research suggest that the perception of Nibiru as a “destroyer” approaching Earth may be a profound misconception. Instead, a revolutionary theory posits Nibiru as not a wandering planet, but a colossal interstellar spacecraft of exorbitant dimensions. This immense artificial construct, built and positioned as a “planet” around our binary star (currently residing in the Kuiper Belt), functions as a divine “ax” or instrument of punishment and judgment, powered by two solar energy systems. Larger than Earth and equipped with “timeless” technology spanning millions of years, its operational lifespan is considered endless.

This cosmic leviathan is not merely capable of attacking or punishing planets; it can reportedly alter their orbits and inclinations, or even transform them entirely. It supposedly commands an incredible array of energies, lasers, and functions, meticulously developed and incorporated throughout its vast history of travel. Furthermore, it boasts universal communication systems and specialized espionage units, complete with Star Trek-like camouflage capabilities. While its orbital period is often cited as 3,600 years, even this may not be a fixed constant.

Onboard this titanic vessel, the Anunnaki are said to reside, alongside a vast menagerie of diverse aliens and humanoids from across our universe: reptilian, insectoid, gray, Pleiadian, Sirian, Arcturian, and countless others. It’s speculated that this cosmic ark represents a living collection of all life forms and technologies encountered throughout our solar system and beyond. Nibiru, in this radical interpretation, is depicted as something akin to the “Death Star” from Star Wars, yet not inherently malevolent. Its purpose, rather, is to execute its design: to patrol and monitor our sector of the cosmos.

Many ancient religions, in their veneration of “God” or “the Lord,” may have, in fact, been referring to Nibiru – the very home or source of their belief systems. This colossal spacecraft also reportedly functions as an interplanetary “United Nations,” a forum for the discussion and resolution of intergalactic conflicts, commanding immense power, fear, and respect throughout the cosmos. This revolutionary concept profoundly challenges the notion of wandering planets, which are scientifically inconsistent due to constant gravitational interference, and certainly cannot be manipulated at will.

The Tablets of Destiny: The Anunnaki’s Stolen Wisdom and Cosmic Control

In the rich tapestry of Sumerian mythology, the “Tablets of Destiny,” or “Tablets ME,” are not mere stone tablets. They are described as a cosmic computer library: a set of chips containing all information on war tactics, star maps, navigation routes, and crucially, the keys to activate or neutralize all Anunnaki spacecraft.

Upon their arrival on Earth, these “beings from heaven” initially established seven primary cities, strategically vital to Enlil’s mission on Earth. These cities, located in present-day Iraq between the Tigris and Euphrates, formed the region Sumerians called Edin – the likely etymological root of “Eden” in later cultures. Their first settlement, Eridu, meaning “Home away from home,” was commanded by Enki. The very name “Anunnaki” in Akkadian – “an-nu-na-ki” – translates to “fifty who descended to Earth from Heaven.”

Further cities rose: Bad-tibira (“bright place where the ore is finished”), commanded by Enlil’s son Nanna (“male moon god”). Enlil, upon being granted command of the Earth mission by Anu, dispatched his sons Nanna, Sin, and Ninurta, accompanied by Ninhursag, his stepsister, mistress, and Ninurta’s mother. It was in Bad-tibira that Ninurta had his twin sons, Shamash and Ishtar.

Next came Laraak, “seeing the bright glare,” a beacon city guiding space shuttles through a corridor of light, commanded by Ninurta. Sippar, the “bird city,” served as a critical spaceport for gold cargo, led by Shamash, “God of the sun and of justice.” Shurruppak, “the place of supreme well-being,” was the mission’s medical center, under Ninhursag’s guidance.

The sixth city, Nippur, “the terrestrial place of Nibiru,” functioned as the mission’s central control, commanded by Enlil himself. It housed the transmission center for communication with Nibiru and the orbiting Igigi shuttles. A bright chamber called Dirga, “the sacred one among the sacred ones,” atop a tower with multiple antennas named Dur-an-ki, “the sky-earth link,” served as this vital hub, as depicted in Sumerian representations. The seventh city, Lagash, “seeing the halo in six,” was the initial beacon guiding the flight route from Nibiru.

Crucially, in Nippur, specifically within Dirga, lay the immensely powerful “Me” tablets or “destiny tablets.” Numbering approximately 60 units, these were not merely ancient records, but an electronic library, a wellspring of vital Anunnaki information. These tablets held the keys to activating destructive weapons, controlling spacecraft, and directing any Anunnaki technological device. They were also a vast repository of knowledge in laws, decrees of governance, advanced technology, medicine, military techniques, defense methods, and even methods to subjugate populations – knowledge reserved exclusively for the Anunnaki elite.

The Myth of Zu: A Betrayal and a Cosmic Battle

Sumerian texts recount the dramatic “Myth of Zu,” involving an Anunnaki figure considered a demon from a different clan, Pazuzu, also known as Anzu (“He who knows the heavens”). Pazuzu’s origins are veiled in mystery, though Zecharia Sitchin suggested he was an orphan adopted by the Igigi, the Anunnaki who orbited Earth in space shuttles. The Igigi taught Pazuzu all the secrets of space and how to pilot their transport ships. Portrayed with a stylized body combining bird claws, eagle wings, and a lion-like head (with hints of reptilian features), Pazuzu was revered as the God of evil wind, storms, plagues, pests, and fevers.

The Igigi, growing restless from their long stays in space, named Pazuzu as their emissary to deliver their demands before Enlil, sending him to Nippur. Enlil, aware of the Igigi’s discontent and suspecting revolt – a narrative that birthed the myths of Titans, Great Astronauts, and Fallen Angels – took Pazuzu as a servant in Dirga, Nippur’s most sacred sanctuary, hoping to appease the Igigi. But Enlil was fatally betrayed. Pazuzu, seizing his opportunity, audacious ly stole the “Me” Tablets of Destiny, his ambition clear: to usurp Enlil’s reign.

“I will take the heavenly Tablet of Destinies. I will govern the decrees of the gods. I will establish my throne. I will be the master of the heavenly decrees. I will command the Igigi in space.”

Pazuzu fled to the Mountain of the Chambers of Heaven, the Hursak Mu. Immediately, alarms blared across the Anunnaki mission. Many Anunnaki devices, technologies, and knowledge systems were rendered useless. Fear gripped the mission and the Anunnaki population on Earth. The “Me” Tablets contained not only the orbits of planets but also the precise navigation coordinates for the Igigi ferries and the stellar routes for their starships.

“The divine formulas were suspended. The glowing light went out. The silence prevailed. In space, the Igigi were stunned. They had taken the shine of the sanctuary.”

Whoever possessed the “Me” tablets would control the heavens, the shipping routes to Nibiru, and command the Igigi. This was Pazuzu’s grand design: to seize control of all gold shipments and ascend as the new King on Earth.

Fear and darkness consumed the Anunnaki on Earth. Anu, the Great Sovereign of Nibiru, commanded Pazuzu’s capture and the retrieval of the “Me” Tablets of Destiny. Enlil summoned all Anunnaki warriors, but fear paralyzed them; Pazuzu had also stolen “Enlil’s Glitter,” a formidable weapon that reportedly rendered him twice as lethal, impenetrable, and as powerful as Enlil himself. Yet, the valiant Ninurta, Enlil’s son, bravely took the initiative. Arming his ship with the “Seven whirlwinds of wind that shake the dust” and a “Tiyu,” a potent projectile, Ninurta pursued the rogue deity.

Ninurta ultimately defeated Pazuzu and recovered the “Me” Tablets, thus restoring order to the Anunnaki mission. Pazuzu was sentenced to death and executed by Ninurta in a ritualistic ceremony, dressed as a bird to signify his Igigi origin. This served as a chilling warning to the remaining Igigi: Enlil remained the sole sovereign of the Mission and of Earth. For his bravery, Ninurta was greatly rewarded by Anu and Enlil, receiving new celestial crafts and weapons, including the deadliest armor of the Anunnaki, the “Ip,” a weapon reportedly with 50 heads that kill.

Pazuzu, once a powerful Anunnaki, was relegated to a mythological demon, a propagator of pests, elevated to the terrifying ranks of great creatures of the night like Lilith, a demoniac goddess notorious for stealing newborn babies to devour their blood. Paradoxically, despite this horrifying portrayal, the Sumerians themselves used the figure of Pazuzu as an amulet against sorcery and as a protective talisman against nocturnal demons that preyed on infants.

The Future Beckons: A Global Awakening

Some researchers propose that the Anunnaki must indeed return to Earth, not for destruction, but to “fix what they did wrong”—specifically, to reactivate our “junk DNA,” thereby accelerating the spiritual awakening and evolution of human consciousness. Stan Deyo’s Pentagon sources hint at this precise scenario: NASA and the Pentagon allegedly believe the Anunnaki’s return is imminent, coinciding with the arrival of the supposed Planet Nibiru.

Whether Nibiru is a planet or a dwarf star remains a matter of intense debate, but something is undeniably amiss in our solar system’s traditional models. It is highly plausible that the Anunnaki are already here, and that the impending “contact” will unfold in carefully managed stages. If these ancient gods indeed control us, their presence represents the greatest secret the Pentagon could possibly conceal.

According to Gregg Braden’s research, a mere 20 of our 64 DNA codons are currently “activated.” This raises a profound question: why would the “Source of creation” limit our genetic abilities by deactivating the majority of our DNA? The answer, some speculate, lies with the Anunnaki themselves. Our DNA was allegedly limited by them to maintain humanity in a state of submission, control, and conformity to their will. These beings, possessing knowledge of our true genetics, have potentially controlled us for millennia. Their purpose, it is believed, is to never lose control, governing through fear, exploiting the latent, fear-triggered factors within our DNA. They are, perhaps, far more powerful than the visible leaders we perceive as presidents and prime ministers. Researcher Simon Parkes goes further, suggesting we possess 12 strands of DNA, each linked to a specific galactic race, hinting at a far more complex cosmic lineage than we currently comprehend.

Regardless of how these revelations play out, a global awakening is undeniably underway. People are increasingly recognizing the tyranny and oppression inherent in all governments, realizing that our current ways of life – driven by fiat currency and a deeply entrenched economic slave system – are unsustainable. In total, a comparatively small number of world leaders may be perpetuating this economic servitude, simultaneously polluting our vital water, air, and food supplies. Meanwhile, the mainstream media relentlessly employs fear tactics and disseminates state-sponsored propaganda to maintain the status quo.

Yet, we possess the power to rise above this. Change could literally happen overnight if the “bottom of the pyramid” – all of us – unites. We must dismantle the manufactured hatred of other countries, ethnicities, and races, for these divisions are precisely what prevent us from advancing as a unified civilization. The Hopi prophecy resonates with compelling truth: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” We hold the power to instigate change right now, without needing intervention from the Anunnaki or any other supposed benevolent extraterrestrial race. But first, we must unite as a truly global community, embracing the profound truth of our shared human story – a story that may be far more complex, and far more awe-inspiring, than we have ever dared to imagine.

Why Dr. John Henrik Clarke Is Correct About Black People Having No Friends (and why We Don’t Need Any) – a Garveyite Perspective

Dr. John Henrik Clarke famously stated, “Black people have no friends.” For many, this may sound harsh, but it is a sobering truth when viewed through the lens of Pan-Africanism and Marcus Garvey’s philosophy. Garvey understood that Black liberation can not depend on external allies; it must come from within—rooted in self-reliance, unity, and a shared commitment among Black people globally.

Here’s why, Dr. Clarke’s statement rings true and why, from a Garveyite perspective, Black people don’t need friends—only each other.

1. History Proves It

From colonialism to the civil rights era, supposed "friends" of Black people have repeatedly betrayed or abandoned us. Other groups have leveraged Black struggles for their own gains, only to leave Black people behind once their goals were achieved.

Post-slavery labour movements excluded Black workers.

Civil rights coalitions saw other groups gain rights, while Black people remained trapped under systemic racism.

Garvey and Clarke both saw these betrayals as evidence that Black people must prioritize their own interests and stop relying on others.

2. Global Anti-Blackness Is Real

Anti-Blackness isn’t confined to one region—it’s a global phenomenon. Across continents, Black people face systemic oppression, discrimination, and dehumanization.

Other groups often form alliances to protect their own power while marginalizing Black voices.

Even in spaces of shared oppression, anti-Blackness often takes precedence.

Dr. Clarke’s assertion and Garvey’s vision both point to this truth: Black liberation must come from within because no one else will prioritize us.

3. Dependency Leads to Exploitation

Depending on outside "friends" or "allies" often comes with hidden costs. Foreign aid, alliances, and solidarity movements often prioritize the interests of others over Black liberation.

Aid to African nations often perpetuates dependency rather than fostering self-sufficiency.

"Allies" in social justice movements often centre their struggles, leaving Black people to fight alone.

Garvey warned that dependency breeds vulnerability. Clarke reinforces this: Black people must build their own systems to avoid exploitation.

4. We Have Everything We Need

Garvey believed that Black people possess the resources, talents, and ingenuity needed for liberation.

Africa’s wealth: With its vast natural resources, Africa can fund global Black empowerment if reclaimed from exploitative systems.

Diaspora talent: Across the globe, Black communities excel in innovation, creativity, and resilience.

Dr. Clarke’s statement echoes Garvey’s vision: We don’t need friends because we already have all the tools for success.

5. Cultural Exploitation Is Proof of No True Friendship

Black culture—music, art, fashion, and more—is celebrated globally, but Black people are rarely compensated or empowered by their own creations.

Other groups profit from Black innovation while perpetuating anti-Black systems.

Cultural exploitation demonstrates a lack of true solidarity.

Garvey’s solution: Black people must reclaim their culture and use it as a tool for empowerment, not exploitation.

6. Unity Is Our Greatest Strength (and Threat to Oppressors)

A united global Black community is the most powerful weapon against systemic oppression. Garvey emphasized unity, and Clarke’s assertion underscores why others fear it:

A unified Black world challenges global power structures that thrive on division.

By focusing on internal unity, Black people strengthen themselves and disrupt oppressive systems.

7. Allies Often Divide Us

Alliances can create divisions within Black movements, as external influences pit factions against each other or dilute the focus on Black liberation.

During the civil rights movement, alliances often marginalized more radical Black voices.

Today, funding from external groups can cause conflicts between grassroots Black organizers and larger organizations tied to outside agendas.

Garvey’s emphasis on self-reliance offers a solution: Black unity must come first, free from outside interference.

8. Other Groups Prioritize Their Own Interests

Every group prioritizes its own survival and progress—it’s not wrong, but Black people must learn from this.

White nations maintain global alliances to uphold their dominance.

Asian nations focus on economic self-sufficiency.

Jewish communities have built strong networks to protect and uplift their people.

Garvey and Clarke would agree: It’s time for Black people to do the same and put themselves first.

9. Historical Success Through Self-Reliance

History proves that Black people thrive when they rely on themselves:

The Haitian Revolution succeeded because enslaved Africans united and rejected external dependence.

Garvey’s UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association) built businesses, schools, and a global movement without outside help.

These examples show that self-reliance works. Black people don’t need friends—they need focus.

10. True Liberation Is Self-Determined

Liberation can not be outsourced, gifted, or borrowed—it must be self-determined. Allies may help temporarily, but no one will prioritize Black liberation over their own interests.

Garvey envisioned a world where Black people controlled their own economies, politics, and resources.

Clarke’s assertion reminds us that we can’t afford to waste time seeking validation or support from others.

11. Black Liberation Threatens Global Power Structures

Both Garvey and Clarke understood that Black liberation isn’t just a struggle for freedom—it’s a direct threat to the systems of power that dominate the world.

A free and united Africa would undermine Western economic dominance, which relies on exploiting African resources.

A globally empowered Black diaspora would disrupt industries, politics, and systems built on anti-Blackness.

This explains why no other group can truly be a friend to Black liberation. Their survival often depends on maintaining the status quo that oppresses us.

12. “Allies” Often Centre Themselves in Our Struggles

Even when other groups claim to stand in solidarity with Black movements, their involvement often centers their own experiences, narratives, and priorities.

Non-black allies frequently shift attention to their struggles, leaving Black people to carry the burden of fighting for everyone else.

Movements like Black Lives Matter have seen external groups co-opt their messages for personal or political gain.

Garvey’s philosophy reminds us to stay focused on our own goals and not allow our movements to be hijacked.

13. Romanticizing External Help Distracts from Pan-African Solutions

One of the pitfalls of seeking allies is the belief that external help is necessary or even superior. This mindset can prevent Black people from exploring Pan-African solutions.

Garvey’s vision of “Africa for Africans” called for African nations and the diaspora to work together without relying on foreign nations or systems.

Clarke’s statement reinforces this idea: the best solutions come from within. Black people don’t need external friends—they need internal unity.

14. Allies Often Maintain Anti-Black Systems

Even so-called “progressive” allies often uphold the same systems that oppress Black people.

Corporations claiming to support racial justice continue to exploit African resources and labour.

Governments speaking out against racism still engage in policies that harm Black communities worldwide.

Dr. Clarke and Garvey both understood this hypocrisy. Real liberation requires rejecting systems that perpetuate oppression, even if they claim to support us.

15. Our Focus Should Be on Building Future Generations, Not Pleasing Others

Garvey often emphasized the importance of preparing future generations to lead and succeed independently.

Clarke’s warning about having no friends reinforces this: Why waste time seeking allies when we could be building schools, economies, and systems that empower our children?

A Garveyite perspective prioritizes creating a legacy of self-reliance and leadership that ensures the survival and progress of Black people globally.

By focusing on the future, Black people can stop relying on the approval or assistance of others and instead secure their own destinies.

Final Reflection: All We Have Is Us, and That’s Enough

Dr. John Henrik Clarke’s statement and Marcus Garvey’s philosophy both lead to the same conclusion: Black people must take responsibility for their liberation. True freedom can not and will not come from allies—it must come from within. The power lies in our hands, in our unity, and in our shared commitment to self-determination.

We don’t need friends. We need ourselves.
