After the hiatus…the return.
And so we rise again from the ashes, like the fabled Phoenix.
__________
Escape Velocity:
“Escape velocity”: the speed needed to break free from a gravitational field.
“Escape velocity”: the metaphorical speed needed to break free from the “oppression field” of the Old World Order.

Our website features numerous songs by Pho’, the rising, radical, super smart, new voice of hip hop. We’re not looking for believers or fools. We’re seeking Attitude, Creativity, Radicalism…fresh voices for a fresh world. Do you have anything worth saying? Is it time for your voice to be heard? If all the smartest, strongest, most imaginative and creative people are on our side, who can defeat us? If you have it in you to become God then now is the time for you to hear the cosmic call of the divine, the sacred and transcendent Music of the Spheres.
******
The search is on for world-historic figures. Who are the people who will finally end the reign of the Old World Order? Who will bring the human race out of bondage? Who will break the tyranny of the old masters?
“Wolves and sheep,” is one of the OWO’s favourite expressions. They are the wolves – the predators – and the rest of us are the sheep – their prey.
If God didn’t want them sheared, he wouldn’t have made them sheep.
The world is the way it is because the sheep have always allowed themselves to be fleeced. They have let themselves be swindled out of equal opportunities. Every person born into an average family soon notices an immense tower stretching far into the sky. This is the Tower of Privilege where the wolves live, where they look down on the endless flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, all the suckers and victims, those who didn’t fight back when their chances in life were stolen from them.
Isn’t it time to smash that hateful tower?
The world needs talented, creative, energetic, determined, smart and ambitious people, eager to replace the Old World Order. Cynics, skeptics and negative-minded people will seek to sabotage any new system. Who needs them? There’s nothing worse than the people who stand on the sidelines, sniping and carping, trying to sabotage any attempt to bring back humanity from the dead, or rather the undead since the wolves have turned the sheep into bleating zombies, in which no signs of life ever register.
Weakness, self-pity, lack of ambition, laziness are not acceptable. Nothing will ever change while those “qualities” predominate.
Who is capable of changing things? One person who has stepped up to the plate is Pho’ – Photon.
Photon isn’t one of the sheep. Photon is on the move. Photon is ascending. Photon is reaching “escape velocity”.
The OWO are terrified of people like Photon because they know that such people can topple them from their high tower.

Bio:
PHO’ (PHOTON)
“In Hoc Signo Vinces.” (In this sign you shall conquer.)
This Latin phrase was first used by the Roman Emperor Constantine, and later by the Knights Templar. It has been said that this mysterious order, condemned for heresy, was the inspiration for the Jedi Knights of Star Wars. The Templars were in fact a military branch of the Illuminati, and used many signs, including the skull and crossbones.
“In Hoc Signo Vinces” is usually associated with the Sign of the Cross and, ostensibly, was used in this fashion by the Templars. In fact, as Gnostic Illuminists, the Templars rejected the Christian Cross. The sign they most venerated was the skull and crossbones, associated with “Baphomet” – Simon Magus, the most revered Grand Master of the Illuminati.

Many are called.
Few are chosen.
Fewer still are self-determined.
And only the rarest, only the highest, create themselves.
Pho’ (Photon) is a student of the mind, a hip hop artist and a sociopolitical activist. This rising, radical, super smart and visionary “emcee” was born and raised in New Jersey’s Philadelphia suburbs.
He has always been a student of “mind over matter.” In the single digit years, as an introverted child, he was intrigued by “super powers” and the Jedi Knights of Star Wars. Innate musical talent led him to taking up the piano. His mother, a gifted woman diagnosed with co-morbid mental disorders, encouraged him, when she was present, and cultivated him in the arts of creativity and imagination, introducing him to his first experience with recording.
In his adolescent years, Pho’ studied books about parapsychology and paranormal phenomena, always trying to think of makeshift ways to duplicate the exercises in the books.
In Pho’s teen years, he became involved in athletics, achieving both state-wide and national acclaim in track and field, whilst taking up the saxophone (at his grandparents’ behest) and battle rapping on the school bus, the high school cafeteria and neighborhood parks & corners, where he gained a reputation for being the most gifted of the battle rappers on the local circuit, displaying a blend of cathartic pain discharge with a scientific and meticulous dissection of his opponents.
Pho’s mastery of mind over matter, overcoming asthma to excel in track and field, earned him a partial track and field scholarship to a private University in New Jersey. Once in college, Pho’ took up BioChemistry, then switched to Neuroscience and finally landed in Psychology, struggling to find a course load which would allow him to keep optimum focus on track and field, which he found to be a greater mental test than any scantron could offer.
Amidst accruing over 16 NCAA Division I Conference championships, Pho’, with the collaboration of his roommate, busied himself recording mixtapes, two street albums (BLakLiSTeD and The Blue Pill) under the stage name “Stamina”, rocking a few dozen live shows on the college campus scene in Central New Jersey, whilst amassing an impressive string of victories on the internet battle rapping scene and embarking on an extensive study into the world of conspiracy theories, occult, metaphysics, philosophy and esoteric religion. It was during this time that Pho’ shared the studio and stage with pre-eminent artists in underground hip hop such as Silent Knight, Cymarshall Law, Pumpkinhead, Goretex & Sabac Red (formerly of Non Phixion) and Immortal Technique.
After an altercation involving two intoxicated foreign exchange students which began when they aimed racial slurs at Pho’ and ended with him attempting to take their lives, he channelled his disillusionment and began to convert his musical abilities into a medium for social commentary. He also published socially blistering articles in the local media outlet. Pho’ pursued this line of motivation into the world of militant activism and, as Mattias Gardell defines it, a “specific black Gnosis, which could be termed blackosophy.”
Upon Pho’s departure from college, armed with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, he adopted the stage name “LaZaRuS” and dubbed himself as “the emcee that got tired of sleeping”, simultaneously delving deeply into the history, systems and schools of thought of androtheism: the belief that man is, or has the capacity to become, God.
His studies continued and studio time began to decrease as Pho’ got more involved in community organizing and starting a family. He worked closely with the son of Larry Evans, chess grandmaster (famed for defeating Bobby Fischer), learning the art of war via the 64 squares and studied with “Black Buddhist” Paul Guthrie, gaining knowledge of Anapanasati (mindfulness through the study of breath) and furthered his insights into the rich history of civilization which stretches far beyond the education provided by modern history books.
Eventually Pho’ came into contact with three adepts of an ancient, secret Order.
Pho’ now sees that a new dawn is coming. New stars are appearing in the sky. All revolutions start with a few, faltering steps that become more and more certain until the whole world resounds to the irresistible march of the future.
Pho’ has determined that he will employ his expressive art to spread a new philosophy of hope around the globe and fight back against the Power Elite. They have corrupted music, using it as one of their tools to further enslave humanity and keep Homo sapiens blind to the divine essence that lies within each and every one of us. It’s time to redeem both music and humanity. Music and art, at their finest and highest, are the media through which God brings us into communion with him, through which we express our latent divinity.
Everyone listens to music. Everyone is under attack.
It is to this end that Pho’ has founded ProGnosis Entertainment.
The time has come for the seekers of the high paths to the gods to listen to the most vivid and inspiring music of all…
THE SOUNDTRACK OF THE REVOLUTION
******
Pho’ said, “A 15-year-old who joined The Movement last week offered some quick commentary that was so practical yet inspiring I decided to make it happen.”
We need a lot more 15-year-old’s of that calibre!
Pho’ already has the music, the moves, the merit and the message. Now he needs a mass audience. One lucky break for Pho’ and he can make it right to the top. His music can be the “carrier wave” for The Movement, spreading its new philosophy of hope and light around the globe.
The technology is now in place to allow the world to change radically in an extremely short period. A positive, inspiring message can sweep the planet in hours if it goes “viral”. Unfortunately, most viral content on the internet is about freakiness, gross-out humour, weirdness, celebrity, “cuteness” – about getting an instant reaction. When you send a “viral” link to your friends, its purpose is to make you look cool and trendy. It’s to show that you have a great personality, that you’re a fun person, a bit zany and “out there”, that others will have a great time if they hang out with you, that you’re “too cool for school”. Anything that requires any thought will be deemed to be too serious (i.e. boring), too “political” (i.e. boring), and require too much time (yawn). Your friends will think you’re a bit of a sad, weirdo, uncool, nerd geek if you send them a manifesto for changing the world.
Music is one way round the problem. An important message can be hidden in a great tune if it’s done subtly enough, and a great tune and video can easily go viral (Lady Gaga certainly knows how to do it).
Someone sent us Owl City’s Fireflies song – a bland, manufactured piece of cheesy pop and yet strangely compulsive. The video has had many millions of hits. Imagine if this song actually had something significant to say.
Pho’ has got the tunes and the things to say. If you can help his songs go viral, go for it.
We think Pho’ has a “manifest destiny”, and if he does then so does The Movement.
Change the world. Join The Movement. It’s time to replace Goldman Sucks and all the Merchant Wankers with a Golden Age for humanity.
Let Pho’ take his microphone magic to the world.
What’s The Prognosis?
Photon has established his own internet hub for creative projects. ProGnosis Entertainment is part of the new crowdsourcing paradigm that escapes the reach of the Old World Order’s gatekeepers. The people don’t need agents, producers, record companies, book publishers, lawyers, marketing men, advertisers and all the other parasitical middle men who have, until now, decided what happens and what doesn’t, what gets the green for go, and what gets red lighted out of existence. Now these people can be bypassed. In ten years, they will be extinct. The empire of the Old World Order is crumbling. They can no longer control either the medium or the message. Everywhere, uncensored information is bubbling up. The OWO have lost their monopoly. Fuck the gatekeepers. The dam has burst. Creative artists can go straight to the people, without having their message cleaned up, sanitized, sterilized and made acceptable to the OWO. Now the war against the rich, privileged elite can begin in earnest, and there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Q. What’s your internet-based platform all about?
A. “ProGnosis Entertainment has been dubbed, “The Soundtrack of the Revolution”, and it’s all about setting the stage for creating a cooperative or coalition of artists who desire to use their gifts, talents and abilities to get people back into their OWN brands and styles of creativity, rather than the lovely world of zombie like consumerism which is fuelled largely by the music prevailing in popular culture. It’s about The Movement. We’ve gotta break the stranglehold on the creative juices. ‘Ye are all gods!’”
Prognosis: Pro (before), Gnosis (knowledge).
Prognosis: to know beforehand, to have foreknowledge.
Prognosis: to know what’s coming; a forecast; a prediction.
Q. What can the world expect from you this year?
A. “M for The Movement! Tag it and keep moving!”
******
Photon is now working on a new project – Street Organization, Unification, Liberation – S.O.U.L.
******
Photon resists hysterical speculation. He remains calm, considered, thoughtful. He approaches everything in a professional, businesslike manner, setting himself realistic objectives, and ensuring that he accomplishes what he sets out to do. He immerses himself in creativity. He always seeks to know more, to improve. He is driven, motivated, zealous to achieve. He commands the respect of everyone. He never rests on his laurels. He prefers to be enthusiastic rather than cynical, open-minded rather than skeptical. He values real accomplishments, not the hot air, imaginary triumphs of braggarts.
Photon “gets it.” Do you?
The world needs more people like Photon: meritocrats ready to take over when the OWO fall, ready to stand up to the OWO and demand long-overdue justice.

An interview with Pho’ from his Prognosis.net site…
Divine Numbers & Subjective Realities.
Greetings! Thank you for taking the time to check out the latest instalment of “Altered States of Awareness.” This time around we will be presenting a powerful, profound and thought-provoking interview Pho’ recently participated in which was conducted by “Seven,” an activist in The Movement and founder of a Canadian grassroots community organization outfit, referred to as “The Network.”
Seven poses the questions below on behalf of the members of the local circle of The Movement in which Seven is an activist.
“The individual has become a mere cog in an enormous organization of things and powers which tear from his hands all progress, spirituality, and value in order to transform them from their subjective form into the form of a purely objective life.” –Georg Simmel
THE INTERVIEW…
Seven: On your YouTube page (here) it reads “Pho’ is a pioneering visionary in Hip Hop music. The future of the world’s most popular genre of music begins here”. Why don’t we start with your vision of the future for Hip Hop?
Pho’: Well, step one, I’m realizing, is to first state that what I will be referring to as Hip Hop in this interview is not “hip-hop” – the rap music genre, which is wrapped in plastic and leveraged to serve capitalist corporate interests and weaponized against its creators as a form of divisive social engineering. So…
What I see for the future of Hip Hop is the widespread acceptance, organization and increased legitimacy of what already exists, which is first and foremost, much more than a genre of music. Hip Hop is a global unified culture which transcends race, class, gender, religion, color, creed and all of the like, which places imagination, self creation, elevation, prosperity, love, awareness, wealth, health and liberation into the hands of the individual who is in tune with the spirit of universal oneness and evolution itself. I see Hip Hop as a culture maturing into self-sustaining communities and taking the “relevant movement” which defines Hiphop, to the remedy of the world’s ills. It may seem far fetched, but hopefully, by the end of this session, the method to the madness will become clear.
Seven: As I’m sure many people have, I’ve often imagined a world where Hip Hop and other forms of musical and artistic expression are truly recognized for their ability to help us attain a lasting connection to the divine spark. When you are in your most motivated and creative state of mind, do you feel that you are establishing a connection with your higher self? If so, which has been more useful in facilitating that connection? Performing or writing lyrics and creating?
Pho’: Throughout history, the most sacred esoteric truths were experienced by men and women and preserved through “twilight”, or coded, language, rituals and symbols. With this as a premise, I say Hip Hop is two-fold. There is the sight which inspires the manifestation of the element, and the manifestation of the element itself. The element I perform is “emceein’,” which deals with the employment of language, particularly the employment of what is referred to commonly as “figurative language.” The awareness which facilitates the creation of art — being reflective of the needs, desires, will, aspirations or culture of a constituency in a way which is representative of and simultaneously enriching to said constituency is without a doubt divine (of the higher self). To write lyrics is to “control, sense and alter” that inspiration, but to perform is to BE a live channel for that inspiration, vibrating in reality amongst those who validate the reality of your awareness. Theory and practice are inseparable companions in any field of endeavour.
Seven: What do you think about the idea of people developing dialectical styles of hip hop or other forms of artistic expression and using them to solve complex problems facing humanity in epic hip hop battles* (* more like debates than battles)? What do you think about getting together talented dialectical artists and dialectical poets to stage public demonstrations of artists dialectically refining the problems humanity faces for the Movement?
Pho’: I think it’s an amazing approach to communicating the root mechanics of the universe (the dialectic). I think you may have had a peek into the future there!
Seven: Does the process of interpreting and combining concepts of Illumination with Hip Hop and musical expression aid you in the pursuit of Gnosis? If so, what do you think are the most beneficial aspects of it?
Pho’: These are excellent questions. I’ll break it down like this. TO MY KNOWELDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – Illumination, in its most sterile scientific sense, is the exposure of light to a given area. From a philosophical standpoint this light would function to prevent one from navigating in darkness. Darkness, to be esoteric and/or hermeneutic about it, represents the ignorance, lack of skill and suppressive forces which prevent one from self creating, self actualising and expressing the maximum of human potential and prosperity. Gnosis, then, which is Greek for “Knowing,” represents a truth, also known as a path, to this goal. Gnosis isn’t just “knowing”. To steal a touch of thunder from L. Ron Hubbard, a modern Gnostic mind, Gnosis is KNOWING HOW TO KNOW. The process, axioms, perceptions, lines of thought, rituals to generate emotive experience, and all of that designed to produce said state of altered state of consciousness is “a gnosis.” Hip Hop is a form of gnosis. It is a phenomenon which when practiced leads to a union with the divine. Hip Hop, the kulture, has the capacity to raise those who are in tune from states of sickness, hatred, ignorance and squalor in the ghettos, slums, trailer parks and what-have-you of Hell, into states of health, love, awareness and wealth which are capable of functioning as attractive catalysts for the liberation of all walks of life on the planet Earth. I know that’s a lot. But it is what it is. The most beneficial aspects of Hip Hop, to me, are the development and maintenance of the sight, and motivation to hone and perform skill.
Seven: Are there any major insights you have found exclusively through Hip Hop that you would like to share with everyone?
Pho’: My first thought is this: just because I found a state of awareness or insight exclusively through Hip Hop doesn’t mean that it is inaccessible through other methods. Hip Hop has shown me the experience or “overstanding” of seeing through another’s eyes, documenting it, exhibiting it and having that perception confirmed by the subject of the artwork. To me, that’s some deep shit. That’s unity.
Seven: Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about Prognosis Entertainment.
Pho’: ProGnosis Entertainment is an idea or an entity which is designed with the intent to inspire. An artist and connoisseur cooperative which brings arts and culture back to the people and designs the future of the culture of human potential via collective intelligence and meritocracy. The first crowdsourcing project we are planning for The ProGnosis is the refinement of the entity itself by all participating members. The “Manifesto” has been posted, but let’s make it better… together. You know?
Seven: What are your favorite ways or sources of finding musical inspiration?
Pho’: I, like many Hiphoppas (also known as Hip Hop Heads), gain inspiration by coming across “ ‘ill’ shit “. Ill describes when you hear or witness something and it produces a sharply positive alteration of your state of awareness, especially an “Aha!”/”Eureka!” moment. Ill can be found in any form of art and any genre of music. For example… r>=0 — ILL! The beginning guitar solo in “Smells like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana — ILL! The “bullet time” effect (CGI) –ILL! All subjective of course, but you get the point, right?
Seven: Within the realm of mainstream Hip Hop, are there any artists who you think really have the right idea, but could be doing more?
Pho’: Well, it’s hard to know what people are really doing, unless you’re right there with them. The first artist that comes to mind is Lupe Fiasco. I love his work, his message and his accessibility to those who appreciate his art. He’s definitely emceeing more so than “rapping,” (emceeing = true cultural spokesman vs. rapping = top down social engineering). By hook or by crook, he’s broken through. I’d say keep an eye on him.
Seven: Who are your all-time favorite Hip Hop artists?
Pho’: Wow, umm, at the moment this is how it pans out, but it’s ALWAYS in flux, I guess I’ll give it a top ten. In random order:
1. Canibus
2. KRS ONE
3. Lupe Fiasco
4. Lauryn Hill
5. Saul Williams
6. Caddy One
7. The Human Orchestra
8. Rakim
9. Jazzy Jeff
10. RZA
Seven: If you had to define your specific style of Hip Hop, what would you call it?
Pho’: This is one of those Music Marketing 101 questions: “Pho’ brandishes a progressive, socially conscious style of emceeing (HIPHOP) which combines luminary intellect and visceral power in vocal delivery over crisp underground instrumentals and grimy rap beats.”
Seven: What forms of artistic expression other than music do you feel could be revolutionized and how?
Pho’: All can be revolutionized, that’s what a renaissance is all about. When a new awakening of perception and awareness comes; a new style of expression – arts and culture – enters the world.
Seven: Which article from the Armageddon Conspiracy website gave you the biggest epiphany?
Pho’: “Mysterium Tremendum” is amazing. Unified Theory. Strong runners up are “The Mind War,” “Exodus” and “The Jesus Plot” all three give deep insight into the nature of deep universal truths and the mechanics of social engineering.
Seven: Out of all of the psychological problems created in our world by the Old World Order, which problem (or problems) do you feel are the most complicated and challenging?
Pho’: The abuse, mistreatment and deprivation of the female of freedom, justice and equality is one of the most overlooked and ignored problems in modern world history. Check out “The Female Conundrum.”
Seven: What do you think is the best way to deal with the stress of balancing our previous roles in society with our new roles in the Movement? Do you have any strategies for stress relief?
Pho’: I think stress relief naturally comes when you are working in a capacity which is in tune with your psychological make-up and skill set, which is one of the aims of The Movement… to allow people the opportunity to “Get in” where they “fit in.” Spiritual growth and development is therapeutic… the pursuit of enthusiasm, imagination, action, games, creation and experience of art forms, and FLOW (for “Flow” see here).
Seven: What do you think the Movement is most lacking or has to focus on more?
Pho’: We’re going to have to transcend paranoia and fear. At times we forget the principle of the panopticon… 95% or more of the time, no one is watching… The Power Elite just don’t see the overwhelming majority of the planet as having the intelligence and/or drive to do anything outside of talking trash with no means or fortitude to back it up. We have the opportunity to prove them wrong, but remember… the “eye in the sky” is only employed in hindsight, i.e. reviewing the tape, for an overwhelming majority of the masses. In short, our fear cripples us from uniting, establishing bonds of trust and commitment. Most importantly, fear brings action to a stop. Fear is actually the opposite of Movement. Paranoia is the opposite of courage, outreach and clarity. We’ve gotta get into the groove of connectivity. r=0!
Seven: What do you think is the most overlooked truth?
Pho’: A deeply profound question; the answer that comes to mind now is the nature of “The Butterfly Effect.” In a world which seems so vast, so sophisticated and so monitored, we underestimate the influence of ACTION. The butterfly effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, pertains to the sensitivity of the future as related to action or conditions in the present. Basically, if a butterfly flaps its wings in South America, it can affect the weather in New York City. So what of human action? You are much, much more powerful than you imagine! Formulate a goal! If an insect’s actions can change the course of history, surely, yours ALREADY ARE … but who is determining your action? Your “boss”? A book that is thousands of years old? A fear monger?
Seven: What quote or piece of advice do you feel contains the greatest wisdom?
Pho’: Again, a massive question to attempt to tackle without profound reflection. The first thing that comes to mind is a phrase of encouragement that was given to me in the winter of 2005, by a mentor of mine as I embarked on one of those especially defining sort of journeys on life’s path – “C’mon, mind over matter… BE GOD.”
Seven: Can you write a short lyric or poem about becoming God to inspire us?
Pho’: Certainly.
Seven: If you could send a short and meaningful message to everyone in the world, what would it be?
Pho’: This verse (The Process – Pho’ (S.O.U.L. Vol. I) [BEANIE SIGEL/THE TRUTH]):http://www.youtube.com/
Seven: Thank you for your time and for your efforts and contributions to the Movement. Your Microphone Magic EP is revolutionary and very useful in a wide variety of situations and strategies. Perhaps we can do another interview in the future!
Pho’: You are welcome! Thank you, for crafting this most excellent and inspiring line of questioning. It would be an honor to join you again in such a productive and expressive exchange.
What’s Next..? The Meritocratic Marketplace. …stay tuned.

What’s the prognosis?
A photon storm is coming. The world will be bathed in light. What’s the prognosis?
It’s PHOTIME.
It’s PHOTIME.
It’s PHOTIME.
What’s the prognosis?
The Soundtrack of the Revolution is coming to a place near you.
You can’t stop the children of the Revolution.
The cosmic light show is beginning. Get your eye protection ready.
The Rat Race.
“[Let’s talk about] the widespread, implicit acceptance of the concept and term ‘the rat race’. The picture it conjures up is one where we are scurrying around scrambling for position, trampling on others, backstabbing, all in pursuit of personal success. Even genuinely intended, friendly advice can sometimes take the form of someone saying to you, ‘Listen, you look after number one.’ Or, as they say in London, ‘Bang the bell, Jack, I’m on the bus.’
“To the students [of Glasgow University] I address this appeal. Reject these attitudes. Reject the values and false morality that underlie these attitudes. A rat race is for rats. We’re not rats. We’re human beings. Reject the insidious pressures in society that would blunt your critical faculties to all that is happening around you, that would caution silence in the face of injustice lest you jeopardize your chances of promotion and self-advancement. This is how it starts, and before you know where you are, you’re a fully paid-up member of the rat-pack. The price is too high. It entails the loss of your dignity and human spirit.” –Scottish Trade Union Activist Jimmy Reid, RIP

Omega Politics:
The war between the rich elite and the ordinary people is timeless. It is the axis around which history has revolved, and the fundamental issue remains undecided to this day. Karl Marx thought that the destruction of the capitalist ruling class was dialectically inevitable, and that Communism would resolve the dialectic once and for all in favour of the people. Marx’s analysis was correct, but his solution was wrong. Communism is as soulless and destructive of the human spirit as capitalism, and has demonstrated itself to be backward, totalitarian and an enemy of freedom. A second poison cannot stand as the answer to a first poison.
The final dialectical resolution of the long strife of world history is a political system that enshrines freedom above all else, even to the extent of ensuring that parents cannot brainwash their children. In one generation, hateful religious ideologies would collapse if it were made as difficult as possible for Orthodox Jews, Fundamentalist Christians and Muslims, raving libertarians and ultra capitalists, racists, chauvinists and all the rest to assume that they have the absolute, inalienable right to indoctrinate their children.
Every child must be protected. All children should be free to think for themselves, to reach their own views. Isn’t that the most basic right of all? To have your own thoughts? That you yourself reached according to your own free will, your own logic, your own personality, regardless of the wishes and beliefs of others? THAT is true freedom. No one is free who has been compelled from their first breath to be a clone of their parents who, in turn, were clones of theirs, all obeying some fanatical ideology expressed in some ancient holy text or economic doctrine, dogmatically and tyrannically passed down from generation to generation from time immemorial. That is the purest slavery.
The ultimate political system is one that recognizes the spiritual dimension of humanity (unlike capitalism and communism), yet lets people explore their spirituality in whatever way they find most inspiring and helpful, without any inflexible, exclusive, dogmatic, hateful ideology.
The ultimate political system is one that is designed to continually evolve to meet the needs of the time.
The ultimate political system is one that always reflects the General Will of the people.
The ultimate political system provides an equal opportunity for everyone. It prevents the creation of dynastic elites. It stops any individual or group from acquiring too many resources, too much power and wealth. It eliminates privilege, nepotism and cronyism.
Meritocracy is that ultimate political system. It is the dialectical end-point. Meritocracy is the inevitable culmination of the long path of political evolution.
Francis Fukuyama in his famous book The End of History and the Last Man declared that liberal democracy (meaning free market capitalism) was the political Omega Point for humanity i.e. the system we have now is as good as it will ever get for the human race and will endure forever. Has there ever been a more depressing thought?
But Fukuyama is as wrong regarding free market capitalism as Marx was with communism. Liberal democracy based on rule by super rich capitalists is not the last word. How could it be? It’s an abomination.
Radical meritocracy will inevitably replace liberal democracy. Meritocracy is the future. Nothing is more certain.
Meritocracy is humanity’s Omega political system, the one that will endure as long as humanity does, the one that will take it on the journey to the stars and its final, divine destination.
Marx was right to predict the end of capitalism. He was wrong that communism would take over. It is meritocracy, not communism, that will replace capitalism.
Join the meritocracy movement. Be part of the future. Meritocracy’s victory is dialectically inevitable because it alone reflects the human craving for a fulfilling life.
How many people can say they are satisfied by capitalist democracy? Only the rich. When the people realize that something different is possible, something that will give them a real life, capitalism’s demise is guaranteed.
The supporters of capitalist democracy are “Dead Man Walking.” They’re too dumb to know they’ve already lost. Those who stand in the way of the tide of history get themselves drowned.
Join The Movement.

Gil Scott-Heron wrote the brilliant song/poem The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Every activist and radical loves this call to arms.
We hope Gil has no objection to our reproducing his full poem…
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott-Heron.
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and drop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip, Skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat Hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
Thinner, because The revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie Mays
Pushing that cart down the block on the dead run,
Or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not predict the winner at 8:32or the count from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of young being
Run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process
There will be no slow motion or still life of
Roy Wilkens strolling through Watts in a red, black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the right occasion
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and
Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant,
And Women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o’clock News and no pictures of hairy armed women Liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott
Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution will not be right back after a message
About a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a germ on your Bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that cause bad breath.
The revolution WILL put you in the driver’s seat. The revolution will not be televised,
WILL not be televised, WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers; The revolution will be live.

Gil Scott-Heron declared that the Revolution will not be televised. But, of course, it WILL. In fact it will be in 3D hypervision, filmed from every angle, appearing on multi-screen, split screen, in high definition with pitch-perfect sound. The colours will be sumptuous: more real than real. There will be vivid action replays, incredible slow motion, freeze-frame, rewind, fast-forward, real time; whatever does it for you. There will be pause and stop functions so that you miss nothing. There will be poignant stills accompanied by emotive music. There will be commercial breaks. The reporters and commentators, all perfectly made up with beautiful teeth and hair and wearing immaculate designer outfits, will hyperventilate. Their autocues will give them no assistance. The Soundtrack of the Revolution will accompany the unbelievable pictures.
Scott-Heron was right about one thing: the Revolution will be live. And where will you be? In the historic pictures being beamed around the world, or watching at home in your comfortable seat, just as you have watched everything else, including your whole life, passing you by?
Change isn’t the responsibility of others. It’s yours.
Viva la Revolution.
The End
