“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”. This statement uttered by Verbal Kint, a verse take from a Charles Baudelaire poem, was one of the most memorable lines from the Usual Suspects. When it comes to America and the innumerable ways moneyed interests and oligarchs have hijacked our nation, the line from Verbal Kint could not be any closer to the truth. We live in a two-tiered society, an alternative reality for the common folks where the 99% are told that we are the bosses of this country and led to believe that we are in control. Then there is the real reality where a fractional few have co-opted all levers of government and have initiated a hostile takeover the likes of which none of us can truly comprehend.

The nefarious brilliance of our democracy is that it serves to hide the invisible hands of the true forces who are in charge of our country. The two party system does nothing more than act as a smokescreen; Republicans and Democrats pretend to be fighting each other in order to keep us all in perpetual conflict. Behind the scenes, both parties bow before truly demonic people who have amassed so much clout and wealth that they are able to buy the souls of politicians, pundits and media personalities alike with their checks. Money has always been the root of all evil; when global markets and currency systems are all interwoven under the auspices of central banks, those who control the central banks control us all.

In order to distract us from this truth—the fact that we have all been made indentured servants of the few—demagogues are constantly being unleashed upon us so that we are in perpetual conflict. They make us think that the struggle is between “black” and “white”, man versus woman, believer versus non-believer, liberal versus conservative, and the endless ways we are made to declare war upon each other. Ideologies and dogma turns otherwise logical people into pawns; the masses are convinced they are chess masters the likes of Garry Kasparov when in reality all of us are playing Yahtzee. The game is beyond our comprehension; the root of injustice is deeper than the surface we keep scratching.

This weekend, the statue of Robert E. Lee was brought down in New Orleans. This was a hot button issue that pitted communities all across America. Some saw it as a victory for justice as we keep relitigating historical grievances. As long as they have us fighting about the past, they can keep impoverishing us in the present and into the future. “Civil rights leaders” all across America puffed up their chest at this hollow victory, but how many of those same leaders know that there is a statue of a Confederate general named Albert Pike who was a Klu Klux Klan grand officer and an avowed Luciferian right in front of the US Congress. You read that right, Albert Pike, a man revered as a god by Freemasons, has a statue in his honor in the middle of Judiciary Square!

If there is ever a man who could unite “black” and “white”, the north and the south, in agreement it would be one Albert Pike. This coward was a war criminal during the Civil War and was arrested and pushed out from the Confederate Army. His men universally hated this despicable monster. So then how is it that a man who was hated in the South and who fought against the North has been deemed noble enough to earn a statue right in our nation’s capital? That would be because he joined the Freemasons and shortly thereafter wrote the Luciferian manifesto which has been used as a blue print titled Morals and Dogma. This same manifesto has been used as an encyclical by pernicious people who sold their souls and joined various secret societies for the past 140 years. The Constitution has been ripped apart and replaced with the canons written by Albert Pike and passed on to this sons—the sons of Maia otherwise known as the Masons. These same sons of Maia are at the intersection of every social ill and injustice you can think of, people who want a taste of power join in order to be part and parcel of the ruling class who are kneecapping our nation and bleeding the planet in the process. The vast degrees of Masons are being used as pawns to cover up the vile nature of the top echelon of Masons who partake in devil worshiping and demonic rituals behind closed doors.

To cover this depraved society that resides square in the heart of DC, they give us politics and manufacture thesis/anti-thesis disturbances. The partisan infighting that is going on in DC and the endless political drama is nothing but one big Hollywood production in ways that WWE wrestling could never come up with if Vince McMahon smoked a forest of the dankest weed. I’m not even sure who the biggest hypocrites are, is it the would be “family values Christian conservative” Republicans, who partake in more debauchery in the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah that is Washington DC? Or is it the duplicitous Democrats, who pretend to be fighting for justice using paternalism as a social weapon of mass indigence in order to get people dependent on them? This is like arguing what is worse between Anthrax and Ebola—both of them are utterly bankrupt and immoral to the core. Sadly it is us, the 99%, who will pay the cost for letting a few turn a city on a hill that was once America into the Babylon that is around one last economic downturn from destruction.

Go to Washington DC and you will see all kinds of demonic symbols. Turn your dollar over and you will see the words “in God we trust”. Who is this God they are trusting? They God I believe in and the savior that I follow the teachings of speaks explicitly against icons and idols, yet the entirety of Washington, DC has been turned into a Masonic temple honoring Lucifer as one building after another has pentagrams and Satanic symbols that pays homage to a “god” that none of us would ever worship. You know the endless times you hear Illuminati being uttered and how one name after another is bandied about as being an Illuminati member? That is because the best way to murder the truth is to drown it in a sea of conspiracy theories. The Illuminati do exist and one of their grand masters is Albert Pike, a man who looks over our nations capital as those who bow before him do the work he laid out a century and a half ago.

Did you know that EVERY president, except one, is blood related? Obama is related to Bush, Reagan is related to Roosevelt—all the way back to George Washington, the bloodline of our presidents are one. Almost all, at one point or another, have been a member of a fraternity or a secret order that is affiliated with Freemasonry. This is the farce of our democracy, we are told we have control through our votes but in reality our candidates are pre-selected for us. The playbook of divide and conquer must have been invented by the devil himself for no mere human is diabolically smart enough to come up with a way to pit brother against brother and have us fighting each other as all of us are being oppressed. That blueprint was passed on to Albert Pike and his ilk who nullified the American dream and sold us a facade of freedom instead. The devil exists; his pitchfork is one part corporations, one part cash and one part politics—this is how we stay forked. #KorporatePike

Another trick of devils is convincing us that we are colors and having us fighting for labels that are not of us. Watch the Ghion Cast below and you will see how malicious these artificial constructs of race really are and why they were imposed upon us all.

Call for Unity

Here is a modest idea, how about ALL Americans unite and demand this despicable statue comes down, not on the basis of color or political blievfe but based on human decency and the refusal to bow before Luciferian idols. The Albert Pike statue is located in Washington DC at the intersection of Third Street and D Street NW. Here is to hoping some interspersing folks organize a unified effort to get this statue thrown into the trash heap of history. This is the Albert Pike monument in DC below.

History’s Malevolence

The middle ground is treacherous
Preaching unity to all sides dangerous
I mean trying to find a universal language

Creating consensus out of chaos
Is often laden with insults—profoundly onerous
It’s easier rebuilding the tower of Babel
But lend me an ear brethren and sisters

What if I told you history was malevolent
Facts rewritten by victors and conquerors
In order to split the masses into opponents
Propagating propaganda to prolong injustice

What if I told you that the Civil War
For example to pick one of many instances
Was not truly about slavery
It was about the economy
Forcing one ideology over another

The powerful versus the feeble
A clash of aristocrats and the prosperous
Who duped the powerless to fight each other
Most “white folk” in the south
Were struggling as indentured servants
Deteriorating in barrenness

Now the powerful spread lies
Fracturing society into encampments
Pains of the subjugated
Being used to hide intentions of a system
In the process pitting one against the other

Racism is about power
But they deceive you into thinking
That fellow victims are racists
To obfuscate the true malevolence of bigotry
Hiding the hands of those who bleed society

What if I told you
That poor “white” folk in Antebellum
Had more in common with “slaves”
Than they did with nefarious “slave” owners
And only a fraction of society, the wealthy aristocracy

On both sides of the war irrespective of location
Thrived in the midst of hardship
The multitudes on both sides
Living in destitution and squalor

As they teach that Lincoln was the “Great Emancipator”
Educating us to elevate a president
To the status of God for “black people”
Maybe you should read Lincoln’s speech
“A House Divided”
And you would realize that history
Is full of utter bullshit

Injustice only prospers
When the people are splintered
And feed into the propaganda of the system
Did you get mad, think of me as a sellout
As if I was dismissing the horrors of slavery
Or diminishing the pains of its legacy
Do you think I am trying to erase Jim Crow

Will you accuse me of negating
The terrors of Reconstruction
Or do you understand
That the ancestors of “black” and “white”
The children of the masses
Irrespective of color
Are besieged in poverty and squalor
At this precise exact moment

For the Civil War is still raging
As they pit races against each other
Trying to instigate strife and friction
As they manipulate society
To rupture into racial warfare and hostility

Think about this for a moment
Who shares the burdens of the broken
Of “black folk” who shiver in Chicago?
Is it the bourgeoisie Congressional Black Caucus in D.C.

Is it the “first black president”
And the jive talkers like Sharpton
And his ilk who live in Manhattan partying in the Hamptons
Attending soirées in Martha’s Vineyard chalets

Or do poor “black” folk in the cities
Have more in common with their brethren
The impoverished “white people” in the Appalachians?
It’s always easier to speak to individual grievances
To impassion flames instead of spreading light

Insults follow the ones who preach universal justice
Applause given to those who demagogue incessantly
See history is meant to cleave people
To teach that others are dissimilar

But in truth the lives of most are unbearable
Slavery has taken on a new concept
Where debt has become the new bondage
And poverty is the new shackle
Most of us are ensnared in irrespective of identity

More and more falling into this depraved captivity
When it comes to historical injustices
The sins of a diabolic few
Cannot be blamed on the masses

I mean Mussolini’s army not too long ago
Terrorized my native land Ethiopia
As mothers and children
Innocent civilians
Perished by the hundreds of thousands
Charred up by chemical weapons
A holocaust visited upon my ancestors

But I can’t blame Italians
For the horror of a murderous cabal
For there are masses in Italy
Suffering just like the masses in my country

This same message I preach to my fellow Ethiopians
Those who are blinded by tribalism
As they insult their countrymen
Letting animosity overcome their emotions

This is the reason Ethiopia is shattering
And why tyrants rule with iron fists
Injustice making us forget our common heritage
Making us disregard that we are one people
United by one common struggle

It’s always easier for the powerful
To pilfer the citizenry and fleece us blindly
As long as we are distracted by differences

To “white people”
This message I reiterate
So called “minorities” have identical struggles
The same burdens that you go through
So why get mad at the meager means
Of those who are broken by poverty

The pittance given to those caught in bleakness|
Instead of being outraged
By the thievery being undertaken by the few
The billionaire class who we worship
As they swindle our life savings

History is mendacious
Truth subverted into propaganda
Instead of dwelling on past pains
And residing in separable grievances

Why don’t we unite as one people
If you want to end injustice
Stop monopolizing pain
And understand one thing

We are all in this together
Or we will suffer forever fractured
This is why I keep using quote marks
Around the words “white” and “black”
Because these labels are pernicious

They prevent us from realizing our cohesion
For we are more than labels
We are humans united by the same purpose
History is full of lies and divisiveness
It’s in our hearts we find humanity’s oneness

Teodrose Fikre is a published author and a prolific writer whose speech idea was incorporated into Barack Obama's south Carolina victory speech in 2008. Once thoroughly entangled in politics and a partisan loyalist, a mugging by way of reality shed political blinders from Teodore's eyes and led him on a journey to fight for universal justice.

Teodrose was born in Ethiopia the same year Emperor Haile Selassie was deposed by the communist Derg junta. The great grandson five generations removed of Atse (emperor) Tewodros Kassa II, the greatest king of Ethiopia, Teodrose is clearly influenced by the history and his connection to Ethiopia. Through his experiences growing up as first generation refugee in America, Teodrose writes poignantly about the universal experiences of joys, pains and a hope for a better tomorrow that binds all of humanity.

Teodrose has written extensively about the intersection of politics, economic policies, identity, and history. He is the author of "Serendipity's Trace" and newly released "Soul to Soil", two works that inspect the ways we are dissected as a people and shows how we can overcome injustice through the inclusive vision of togetherness.
