I had a false start to my awakening: Writing ContestOyenu Olugbala To cut a long story short, to remedy this as a black man I sought solace in my history, black history, that meant looking at the history that was hidden; taken away; misrepresented; whatever you call it. I got so caught up with it that I changed my name, much to the displeasure of my family and friends. I then turned into what is deemed to be known as a Black Radical and such a character I was then, prickly or what. With ease I would accuse the white man of any crimes that were committed against humanity that would happen worldwide or any slight that would happen to me and end it with the white man is the devil. As my dance with black radicalism gradually lost momentum, I got bored and went and got a job. So much for radicalism; guess where I worked, yes the government (I started in 2005 and left in 2011, had enough). I was just like everybody else thereafter: got educated, went to work, paid the bills and so forth, got a professional qualification, went to work, paid the bills and so forth, got more specialised (just to keep myself relevant), went to work, paid the bills and so forth. Sound familiar? I knew there was more to life than just the run-of-the-mill-nine-to-five-rat-race-scenario I had to get out, do something, anything! I needed to plan an escape route, and not going back to Black Radicalism. I started reading many books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill to name a few. This kick-started my plan of action to escape the rat race by building my business. I started to attend many seminars which had good information but left me with more questions than I had before. This was frustrating for me; all I was looking for was a starting point to get out of the rat race. That was my life before the true awakening. Undeterred I continued on my search, to just set up my venture. Whilst researching on how to set up shop, I noticed when I was reading articles related or unrelated to business at that time, they were far too similar or just plain copies of each other. All seemed lost when I came across a website called Infowars. I cannot tell you how I reached this website; I just got onto it and it blew my mind as to what was happening then and still is happening now. I recall reading something about David Icke from Infowars, and what he was saying took me completely off stride, because being involved with black radicalism I did run into people that would talk about the New World Order and the Illuminati, so I was familiar with this type of info. However, reading what David Icke was saying resonated with me because this took me back to a time before I went radical; yes that was the time when I was questioning everything, I mean, I was questioning everything: what is reality; why are we here; there must be something more. I read on and I just had to find out more of what David Icke was saying; it was as if he was residing in my head! So I went onto the website of David Icke and the rest was history. My true awakening has led me to ask better questions; Ill present just a couple. Ill also make suggestions regarding how we the people can deal with the ever blatant New World Order rearing its ugly head. Question: Be critical and cautious of the government that has control of an out of control military and a domestic police force. Where ever you are in the world it is the same elitist cabal oligarchy behind the scenes that controls all processes and strategys behind closed doors. They make out that all parties have separate policies that cater for the greater good of the people giving you the illusion of choice. Also, they do a good job of making the people who are at the lower levels of power and on the front line so oblivious to what the few know at the top, that if you challenge someone in government about the New World Order they simply deem you over the top or just plain mad. If I can give you one task, look at the historical actions and records of all governments worldwide and Ill bet you they barely scrape past competent in terms of what they supposedly stand for . . . and this is when they are at their best behaviour. Question: David Icke speaks of the totalitarian tip-toe and the problem-reaction-solution strategies that these oligarchies constantly use to bewilder the people of the world to such a point that people who run into this information cant deal with it and run back into normalcy; or, as David Icke will tell you, back into the No hassle Free Zone. Before you run away! If youre in the early stages of facing the truth, allow yourself time to acclimatize to such knowledge by becoming a student of truth and allowing the truth to be your guide no matter how ugly, and view David Icke as being a facilitator/coach of the truth to help you on your own path. Its like training to be fit and healthy; people the world over accept without failure that to get fit one has to make drastic changes to lose weight. I mean everyone accepts that you have to eat differently by getting rid of bad food and introducing good food, train by lifting weights and doing cardio and resting well. Also your goals for losing weight will be easier met with a coach! See the correlation. Question: Who the hell are you anyway to tell me what to do? Good! If youve asked that question your well underway on your path to finding yourself. Question everything, even in the freedom movement, because believe it or not thats the whole point of the freedom movement; it is to be free to do what one wants, just so long as it does not interfere or hinder ones own path. We all should be free to agree to disagree and to debate, thats the only way to learn and grow as a human civilization with the hopes that we can focus on the real issue of true self-discovery. But how far weve come, when the very viewpoint you hold is treated as a crime. People listen to me very carefullywhen the very words that come from within you, nobody else but you, that you hold to be true are scrutinized by people that you know, and a supposed authority called the government (some cases, action has been taken by the government to curtail such speech), we are in trouble as a people the world over. We need to call this out every time this happens and shine light upon. Anyone who reads this, if I can implore you to do one thing, it is this: encourage people that you know to have a discussion with you or anyone else, and please agree to disagree whether you like the issue or not it shouldnt matter. Oh!! And try to completely go off point its your right and have fun whilst youre at it.
