Colony 14 Philosophy

Plant a seed, whatever it grows into is because of its root, the longer it grows the longer the root. On the surface you can alter or change the appearance but the root is not effected, it never changes, it is what it was originally. To effect change you must pull out the entire interior root. This will of course kill the plant, but then you just plant something else.

This is a basic example of what we, the Colony, declare as our concept. And to secure our rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we must go back to the original seeds of independence and plant a 14th Colony along with the other 13 Colonies of the eventual United States of America. This lost colony will establish a root for all individuals that where not considered citizens but property during the time the "Constitution" and the "Declaration of Independence" was conceived; the two most prominent roots of Americas' hypocritical history.

Society has been stubborn and refuses to look at history honestly. There was history before America, before Great Britain, before Rome and Greece. Concise practices of science, philosophy, agriculture, technology, and systems of government were commonplace in Africa for the world to draw upon. Instead there were lies, theft, murder and rape to the point were useful knowledge was uprooted, hidden, destroyed or ignored, to sit around for thousands of years only to become a tourist attraction. We believe that history is not supposed to repeat itself, that our past influences what is present for the future consistently moving forward. This cycle should eliminate mistakes happening over and over, but as we know, history continues to repeat itself because we have not learned our lessons well. The lack of acknowledgement and contempt for Africa and African people has greatly dampened world progress-a vacuum-a world left stumped on many things the Africans did, like how the ornate tombs and pyramids were built over five thousand years ago!

Say Success is moving two steps forward in life, and two people working independent of each other reached their goal and both moved two steps. In their respective minds they have accomplished their goal and are satisfied, but these are individual goals, as a people they have only moved two steps. To correct this the second person must start their two steps where the first person stopped. Then the steps are added together and as a people they have moved four steps. The established powers have failed to draw upon African history to move forward. Therefore we are left in a forest of confusion; with Deceptionweeds,Poison Ivorymen and Dandyliars surrounding us- these all must be uprooted.

Historians basically gather information from the same sources. Our seeds are there; they just need to be sod correctly. There was so much information that individuals had to make some selection to determine what would get passed off as so called "history". Naturally this was biased because our people were not involved or part of the selection process. Examine some of the historical documents closely. How can Mankind or what kind of man more appropriately, be so ignorant of the law and religion so carefully documented? The forefathers of this country denied other people the same rights and liberties that they had to fight and die for in the Revolutionary War.

The hardest thing for any society to do is to change tradition. These roots go very deep and are very hard to uproot even if the traditional information is found to be inaccurate. But even though change is hard, change is also as inevitable as death. The field of information that is left for us to harvest has many patches, open areas- missing pieces. When asked there is silence or "no one really knows". African history is the missing pieces to the puzzle of world history. The world will never have complete growth until this is acknowledged. "Without struggle there is no progress". To achieve this we must use ourselves in the utmost capacity: all five physical senses, mental common sense and a spiritual sense when conglomerated will give total harmony to the mind, body and souls of men and women. This is our mission, our destiny, our legacy and our dream. But if our dream is deeply rooted in the American dream, and the American dream is deeply rooted in tradition, and tradition is deeply rooted in hypocrisy, our dream then becomes a nightmare. We must go to the root of all evil, pull it out of the soil to get off our root of destruction, to change our route. Our roots are different-the DARK EMPIRE has been planted!
