Repatriation Afrika

Repatriation Afrika Now
By joshua bee alafia

I’m writing from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I begin with that reference because it is here that we will unite this continent… Afrika the bountiful. Afrika the beautiful. Afrika, the salvation of humanity. The ancient Auximites prophesized that the year 2000 would herald the golden age… the end of the 3000-year curse upon the land. Perhaps bringing the Arc of the Covenant brought with it it’s negative energy… 3000 years of strife and unbalance. King Haile Selassie invited the displaced Afrikans of the Diaspora to return home to Ethiopia… he said there’s enough room here for all of us. I have internalized that call, the prophecy, and the sentiment that this is the launch pad of the Golden Age of Redemption. I am inviting you to join me. Afrika has been drained of human resources through the slave trade and economically motivated migration of trained professionals. It’s time to come back and give to Afrika. It’s time to unite the prodigal children with their place of origin. Repatriate now!
It is time to rethink the dominant system of economy. It is now based on a Eurocentric standard of gold as precious, gold as the base of economy. This is absurd. It means that whichever groups of people’s rape, pillage, and destruction, hording as much gold as possible, prosper. It is a standard based on destruction. As is other pillars of the current global system: the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex and the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Thus war, imprisonment, and sickness are the most profitable industries to engage the economy. These coupled with alcohol, tobacco, and petrochemical industry. Destruction layered upon destruction. This is completely dysfunctional and ridiculous. The age of destruction has run its course and its time has finished. Wisdom is better than silver and gold.
In the New Millennium, we must look engage a new system of commerce that reinforces positive contributions to society and the planet as a whole. Each soul shall be born with a credit that will subsidize their childhood through student years’ necessities upon which they accumulate excess with positive actions. When you look at money, it really represents time and energy spent. Income is based upon technical skills that earn different sums of money based on years spent in training and function in generating wealth. Income shall be based upon time and energy spent in symbiosis with the socio-planetary effect of those actions. Thus we usher in an age where teachers will be redeemed for the good of their work instead of being underpaid and eventually driven from the profession due to burnout. This is the age where we invest in the wellbeing of our youth to ensure a strong society. Wealth is really contingent upon quality of life as opposed to material accumulation.
I’m a freelance filmmaker who generates relatively low income for a man my age with my education living in the USA, but I am rich in experience and quality of life due to my traveling around the world and the fact that I love what I do. Under the new system, the socio political effects of my works will be measured and my pay will be based upon how the works fall positively upon society; weather for mere entertainment or potential positive progressively transformative effect on the culture. A computer program can be created to calculate the value of actions and works.
The Afro, the United States of Afrika’s currency, will lead the planet in redefining what is important, what is valuable. I’ve never bought something gold in my life. Well, actually, I bought some video cables that had some gold connectors… and that’s the height of value I place upon the metal… it’s a good conduit. As we evolve, it’s time to live in accordance with the constant reinforcing of positive actions upon the planet. I’m calling out to my folks in the Diaspora to heed the call of your destiny… come reunite Afrika. Come redeem our fallen, come break our mental shackles, come decolonize, come realize the bounty that is our home… Afrika the free. Come enforce the shift from destruction to social upliftment, earth affirming, peace, building and cultivation.
