The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

[kropotkindersurprise]

Black Panther Party member Kathleen Cleaver on non-violence. [source]

Non-violence is a very non-functional approach in a society that's based entirely on organized force and violence. A country that was created in violence, land was taken in violence, a society that's perpetuating itself through violence in the ghettos, in Vietnam, in Africa. Wherever you look, there is organized force and violence at work to maintain this society. There is a world of difference between 20 million unarmed people, and 20 milion people organized and armed to the gills. That's Power.

Revolutionary Angela Davis interview in Chicago, 1972

[auroraluciferi]

Our Breakfast for Children program is feeding a lot of children and the people understand our Breakfast for Children program.

We sayin’ something like this—we saying that theory’s cool, but theory with no practice ain’t shit. You got to have both of them—the two go together. We have a theory about feeding kids free. What’d we do? We put it into practice. That’s how people learn.

A lot of people don’t know how serious the thing is. They think the children we feed ain’t really hungry. I don’t know five year old kids that can act well, but I know that if they not hungry we sure got some actors.

We got five year old actors that could take the Academy Award. Last week they had a whole week dedicated to the hungry in Chicago. Talking ’bout the starvation rate here that went up 15%. Over here where everybody should be eating. Why? Because of capitalism.

What are we doing? The Breakfast for Children program.

We are running it in a socialistic manner. People came and took our program, saw it in a socialistic fashion not even knowing it was socialism.

People are gonna take our program and tell us to go on to a higher level. They gonna take that program and work it in a socialistic manner. What’d the pig say? He say, “Nigger—you like communism?” “No sir, I’m scared of it.” “You like socialism?” “No Sir, I’m scared of it.” “You like the breakfast for children program?” “Yes sir, I’d die for it”. Pig said, “Nigger, that program is a socialistic program.”

“I don’t give a fuck if it’s Communism. You put your hands on that program motherfucker and I’ll blow your motherfucking brains out.“

And he knew it. We been educating him, not by reading matter, but through observation and participation. By letting him come and work our program.

Not theory and theory alone, but theory and practice. The two go together. We not only thought about the Marxist-Leninist theory—we put it into practice.

This is what the Black Panther Party is about.

You Can Murder a Liberator, But You Can’t Murder Liberation

- Fred Hampton (1972)

Billie Holiday/Political leaders & BP Party

Through the lenses of Vedic/Sidereal Astrology

Billie Holiday has Revati Sun, PB stellium & her Atmakaraka in Aquarius/Purva Bhadrapada (Mars) She shined light on the horrors that black people were going through behind the scenes in America. Such as the Song, “Strange Fruit” about how black Americans during the time were being lynced. Aquarius- it being unconventional to talk about especially publicly.

This song & the fact that she exposed this to the rest of the world ended in her death. Being hand cuffed to her hospital bed leading up to her death. She was reported to have said to her friends & family “They’re going to kill me. They’re going to kill me in there. Don’t let them,”. As she used her fame and popularity to protest violence and racism which resulted in her being watched and harrassed by the US government.

“Anslinger gathered his resources together to target just one person instead—Billie Holiday. “It took at least three raids, two undercover agents, planted drug evidence, multiple arrests, associates who became paid informants, blocked access to lawyers and medical care, a prison sentence, the loss of her cabaret license (required to perform at the time), and two court cases for Anslinger to corner Holiday. And yet, despite the federal witch hunt, she would not stop singing “Strange Fruit.” - progressive.org

Purva Bharadrapa is an ugra nakshatra represented by a sword & the front legs of a funeral cot. Linked to renunciation & sacrifice. It’s the truth telling nakshatra and extremely Karmic. It’s sharp cutting nature shines light on the evils done in the dark. In search of moksha (liberation) They face a journey of pain leading to enlightenment. (very shamanic or initiatory in nature) Embodying themes of spiritual war, destruction of illusions, and ultimate liberation. They understand life’s darker, more complex truths. PB natives can feel or be labeled outsiders, as they challenge societal norms and hypocrisy. They may have esoteric knowledge, deep intuition, psychological, & revolutionary ideas. With a strong connection to occult practices due to need to transform through suffering.

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

Unfortunately, these natives can face difficultly, misfortune & sorrow in their lives but their experiences makes them undergo intense transformation, forcing them to face illusion. Which includes wanting to fight against injustices. A lot of these natives expose the dark truths about the industry they are in and face repercussion. Or they themselves can be seen as an example exposing hidden things, such as Joan Crawford. The movie/biography “Mama Dearest” exposing child abuse at all economic & social levels.

Some examples of PB moons- Kanye West, Michael Jackson, Erykah Badu, Kendrick Lamar

Andra Day (Revati Moon) starred as her in the movie “The United States vs. Billie Holiday”

Billie Holiday (Lady Day) also has an Uttara Ashadha Moon AMK & ASC UA has similar themes of freedom seeking & justice against wrong doing, but PB more karmic, intense, and dark. (Sidenote- it’s funny the other name she’s known by is Lady Day, UA is Sun ruled) Uttara ashadha means “the latter invincible one”. One of the most authoritative victorious & justice-driven out of all nakshatras. They have a no nonsense attitude & are not easily swayed by emotions, but lead with logic. This Nak is associated with law, politics, leaders & revolutionaries. Since it’s ruled by Vishvadevas (Universal Gods of Dharma and truth) Unlike other warrior naks that rely on aggression, such as Bharani & PB, UA uses strategy, patience, & endurance. This deadly combo of PB AK & UA Moon & ASC explains perfectly as to why she was a leading member contributing to the fight for the rights of black people. Martin Luther King Jr himself has Uttara Ashadha Sun Purva Bhadrapada Moon AMK & Bharani ASC.

➽──────────────❥

Malcolm X had Krittika Sun, Ashwini Moon & Uttara Ashadha Jupiter AMK. (explains why his approach was more aggressive, urging black people to protect themselves, through physical means) Ashwini is a fast moving nakshatra, and Krittika respesents knives and cutting. The act of cutting down and removing obstacles. It is the warrior symbolizing destruction & purification.

Being in the sign of Aries, like Ashwini & Krittika, Bharani represents similar themes. Ruled by the god of death and justice & ugra (fierce) in nature like all venus naks. Angela Davis another famous Black Panther has Bharani ASC. These natives can seek justice & retribution by any means necessary, even bordering morally corrupt. Think L from Death note or Thanos

(Luigi Mangione is Bharani Sun, PP moon 💀)

Most Black panthers have Ugra (fierce) and Rakshasa (demonic) nakshatras in their big three. The most common naks in the party being Purva Bhadrapada, Ardra, Magha, Mula, Bharani & Shatabisha. Displaying traits of strategic leadership, secrecy, destruction, activism, societal transformation & most importantly, fearlessness. They instilled power & pride into the black community. Teaching black people armed defense & how to defend themselves against police brutality. They patrolled black communities to protect against police violence, helped teach education & history to black children, providing food & clothing to families & so much more. Sadly, many members were wrongly incarcerated, even to this day for their activism.

Happy MLK Day

August 22, 1989 - Huey P. Newton, revolutionary socialist and leader of the Black Panther Party, was assassinated on this day in 1989. The Black Panther Party rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s for raising the revolutionary consciousness of the oppressed Black communities in the United States. Newton’s writings and leadership have left a permanent mark on the Black liberation movement and the socialist movement broadly. Newton elevated the Panthers to the role of internationalist revolutionary socialists who sought to fight US imperialism in order to liberate the most oppressed communities within the country. Newton, like many others in the Black liberation movement, was a target of the FBI’s COINTELPRO, which sought to sow division between revolutionary leaders and organizations. [link]

[Quote in image]: “Any theory you got, practice it. And when you practice it, you make some mistakes. When you make a mistake, you correct that theory … A lot of us read and read and read, but we don’t get any practice.” -Fred Hampton

[panikking]

" If you start with Malcolm X and count all of the brothers who have died or been captured since, you will find that not even one of them was really prepared for a fight. No imagination or fighting style was evident in any one of the incidents. But each one that died professed to know the nature of our enemies. It should never be so easy for them. Do you understand what I'm saying? Edward V. Hanrahan, Illinois State Attorney General, sent fifteen pigs to raid the Panther headquarters and murder Hampton and Clark. Do you have any idea what would have happened to those fifteen pigs if they had run into as many Viet Cong as there were Panthers in that building. The VC are all little people with less general education than we have. The argument that they have been doing it longer has no validity at all, because they were doing it just as well when they started as they are now. It's very contradictory for a man to teach about the murder in corporate capitalism, to isolate and expose the murders behind it, to instruct that these madmen are completely without stops, are licentious, totally depraved — and then not make adequate preparations to defend himself from the madman's attack. Either they don't really believe their own spiel or they harbor some sort of subconscious death wish."

George L. Jackson in a letter to Angela Y. Davis
