W PART II
hen you listen to Black intellectuals speak on topics of race, culture and history there is often a ten- dency for them to use a trendy term like "wokeness" during their conversations. It is a phrase that is used to de- note a level of awareness, they believe, a person needs to effectively understand and navigate his or her surround-
ings.
The sad thing is that many
of these so-called intellectu- als enjoy playing the role of teacher to the masses so much that they are reluctant to reveal the sources of their knowledge. In other words, they want to keep their fish markets open by not teach- ing people how to fish.
This column was written for the sole purpose of allow- ing people an opportunity to find materials they can study on their own while arriving at their own conclusions.
Part One consisted of a number of interesting books that are capable of assisting in that endeavor. Those listed here should be just as helpful.
“Dark Alliance,” By Gary Webb: This may be the most explosive book on this list. Webb is the former San Jose Mercury News journalist who first exposed how the CIA flooded Black communities across the country with crack cocaine in the 1980s and used the prof- its to fund its clandestine op- erations in Nicaragua. The book details the stories be- hind all of the players com- plicit in the conspiracy from Ronald Reagan, Oliver North and George Bush, to patsies such as Rick "Freeway Rick" Ross. This is a must-read not only because of how deftly Webb details the U. S. govern- ment's treachery, but be- cause he dedicated the book to the Black community be- fore his mysterious, alleged, suicide in 2004. Reading his work is the least we can do to honor the effort and risk he took to reveal the truth.
“Stolen Legacy,” By
George M. James: Every- thing the Greeks are credited with giving the world, art, philosophy, astrology, writ- ing, math, etc., were all cre- ated by Black Africans who called the Nile Valley home. Most mainstream historians will never admit to this fact. That is why James made sure the real story was told.
“The Christ Conspir- acy,” By Acharya S: Let me start by saying that this book may not be for every- one. Devout Christians may find much of the information contained inside hard to handle or digest.
The author makes it clear, though, that what she uncov- ered about the controversial history of the church comes from painstaking research. The bibliography of books that she references through- out her work supports the notion that what she reveals is far from conjecture. You should be warned that, with- out an open mind, you won't make it beyond the first 100 pages.
“Zulu Shaman,” By Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa- Mutwa is what is known as a Sangoma of the Zulu Tribe of South Africa. In his book he shares with the world the belief systems of his people including the cre- ation story from an African perspective. One of the things you may be surprised to learn from reading this book is that the UFO phe- nomenon currently grabbing the world's attention is old news to inhabitants across the African continent.
“Ancient Future,” By Wayne B. Chandler: If you are into spiritual enlight- enment this is right up your alley. Chandler does a great job connecting Far-East philosophies such as, Yoga, i- ching and Tantrism to the Hermetic teachings of an- cient KMT (Egypt). Chan- dler also delves into the Earth's energy grid, and how we can access it for our ben- efit, as well as explains the 7 secret laws of the universe. His examination of the influ- ence of Africa on the rest of the modern world is also compelling.
“Genesis Revisited,”
By Zacharia Sitchin: For anyone who ever heard of be- ings called the Anunnaki mentioned while watching an episode of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel, this is something he or she may want to invest some time studying. Revisited is part of Sitchin's 12th planet se- ries of books. In it, he trans- lates Ancient Sumerian texts, (which predates the Bible by over 5000 years), that reveal accounts of life on Earth being genetically enhanced by these extraterrestrials who, some believe, continue to have a hand in shaping the path of humanity.
One of the things you may find interesting is that, according to the Sumerians, the first human created by these beings was named "Adamu."
“How To Make Money In Stocks,” By William J. O'Neil: You probably didn't expect to see a book like this here but, the fact is, it's just as important as anything else. While decoding the ma- trix is important, it con- tributes little to paying the bills. Along with educating yourself on things that aren't taught in the average school setting, to be well rounded, a person should also learn how to become financially stable as well. In life there's nothing worse than an intelligent broke person. This book teaches you how to build your wealth so that you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Of course, there are many other good reads in existence that some people may be sur- prised weren't a part of this column. But I have no doubt that anyone who takes the time to read those that were listed here will, not only, find him or herself well versed on a variety of topics, but will also be hard-pressed to find themselves in any situation where the discussion could hover above his or her head.

     Fighting Alzheimer’s
 uly was National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Aware-
ness Month, two neurological diseases that kill even the most brilliant minds. “A growing body of evi- dence suggests that the prevalence of cognitive impair- ment or Alzheimer’s Disease may be two to three times higher among older African Americans than in older non-Hispanic whites.
No doubt, we all know someone who either has one of the diseases or who is caring for someone who has one of these diseases, which are the tenth leading cause of death in America.
There are a number of research projects attempting to find out how the diseases can be delayed or cured. Researchers have already discovered the progress of the diseases can be slowed by adopting a healthy lifestyle change. The changes include no smoking, reg- ular exercise (150 minutes per week), a brain support- ing diet, light to moderate alcohol consumption, and late-life cognitive activities. Studies have found that cognitive activities lowered the risk of getting the dis- ease by 60 percent.
Private or group activities that stimulate five key cognitive areas are language and music, visual spatial orientation, memory, critical thinking and computa- tion. Therefore, if you are caring for someone recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, engaging the patient in brain stimulating activities, preparing healthier foods (nuts, leafy green vegetables, beans, and olive oil) and eliminating sweets and fried foods from the patient’s diet may help delay the progress of the diseases.
Moreover, if some of your close relatives have been diagnosed with the brain diseases, you can begin now to lower your risk of the disease by adopting a healthier diet and exercise regimen. There was a 37 percent lower incidence of Alzheimer’s in people who made the lifestyle changes.
We must begin today to reduce the amount of sugar, fried foods, and high fat foods in our diet and to exer- cise more. So, begin today to see where you are 30 days from now.
