WHY LINCOLN FREED ENSLAVED AFRICANS.

Posted by Wade Bailey. (FinalCall.com) - Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln opened last week, and many have flocked to see this Hollywood version of one of the nation’s most tumultuous times—the American Civil War. The film purports to recount the last months of the life of Abraham Lincoln as he lobbied to achieve the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which is said to have ended legal slavery in America—at least on paper. Spielberg is the master of American propaganda, and there is no one since the notorious director D.W. Griffith who has more successfully exported to the world a utopian vision of America as a Caucasian paradise.

By Wade A Bailey. The symbolism that the Five Percent Nation is most known for. The Five Percent Nation teaches an esoteric, psuedo scientific mythological set of beliefs, which can only be understood by the symbol literate. Their teaching is an admixture of Islamic beliefs and Esoteric, Occult beliefs coupled with NOI teaching and Black Supremacist Racialist teaching. Allthough they have been called a gang, and dismissed by some as a farcical sect. Many of the most succesful Hip Hop groups and Rappers identify themselves as Five Percenters.
