Conan The Barbarian...my synopsis
Peace y'all. As a young boah, I always LOVED Barbarians..be it Thundarr the Barbarian or the little blond haired kid from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. I f*cked with barbarian movies and cartoons HEAVY. I think it's because they were always depicted as having a raw strength that was pretty much limitless, plus they were usually ill with the sword(emblem of justice which was used by the Original man in Muhammad's time). Having knowledge of self now, I can see why these details appealed to me. With that said, today's blog is regarding probably the most famous of all barbarians, Conan The Barbarian (performed by Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Before we go in let's check out the word "barbarian". I've seen a couple of places say that the term comes from a Greek word "barbaros" that means "babbling" or "stammering" suggesting the term denotes someone speaking a foreign language or that it comes from the Latin word "barbarus" meaning "curly haired". However, I've learned that "barbarian" actually derived from Romans referring to Berber people.
Berber people are from North Africa, west of the Nile Valley, namely Morocco and Algeria. So, essentially barbarian means Original man. Agreed? Okay, now the negative connotation attached to barbarian is that they are of a savage, primitive culture, often likened to upper echelon cavemen so to speak. As usual, this is a "pin" added by destroy culture, because if barbarian comes from Berber, which are the Moors-that means they were highly civilized and actually responsible for the civilization of Europe itself. With that said, it is a historical fact that destroy culture steals credit for other's accomplishments, then attributing their own shortcomings upon those from which they have stolen from. This scenario is no different. it's like when Aristotle and Plato learned from Kemet, then when they returned to Greece with new information on philosophy they were persecuted as heretics. Yet, today they are heralded as the "fathers of philosophy". The oldest practices and information is the closest to the truth, for in the scope of recorded time, it was established at a point closer to the source from which all things came. Colored people are the newest people here, so they have NO clue as to what the truth is or isn't, for they are the furthest from the source. As it stands, what they usually deem pagan is most likely the correct way(or closest to it), while whatever ritual they actually adopt proves to be the most pagan, indeed (in deed).
Moving right along, thinking back to the movie Conan The Barbarian, Arnold was bronzed/tanned up something vicious while playing that role. Granted, he was used to tanning extra because of his body building competitions, yet, considering what barbarian means I see why he was made up to be darker. Now, Conan's story was he was a slave child that rose up to overthrow the tyrant who destroyed his tribe
(sound like anybody you know?). Conan was a Cimmerian. Now, some of y'all might have heard of Sumeria. Which is one of the original names for that region of the world that is now Iraq/Iran. This is also the place where some say the "Garden of Eden" would have been geographically located. Now, I could go to the Supreme Alphabet
to examine why the Savior U of Sumeria would be replaced with the Cee I in Cimmeria, yet I'll leave that alone. So, here we are with at three different points suggesting Conan's ethnicity.Off top, original people are gonna have an identification with Conan on a sub-psychic level(and I'm sure even deeper) because of these reasons.
The "pin" is cleverly placed as Arnold's role is the protagonist (white man) representing the right and just aspects of us/Berber/original people, while
doing battle against the tyrant played by James Earl Jones(an actual black man), who's into kidnapping, enslavement and sorcery (FYI-all ancient original sciences were considered black magic and sorcery)-he even transforms into a monster during their final battle. So, this "pin"- is that our actual physical image is associated with a bunch of things that are deemed "undesirable"-causing us to subconsciously despise certain aspects of your self(physical image, original science, etc), while seeking mental association with their physical image (replacing the hero of YOUR story, with them, instead of yourself), as well as vilifying self simultaneously. Internal conflict cubed. Of course, all of these dots connected due to a tangent regarding a completely different conversational topic. I'm making it a point to see the movie again , so that I can do the knowledge to what else is in there. Until the next one. Peace

Peace family. So, I'm officially a "member" of the Family Court Child Support System. Trust me, when I say Yacub's rules and regulations are in full effect in that place. His law on birth control extends far beyond the realm of conception and contraception, KNOW THAT! Dig it-so, as soon as I step into the place there's a vibe of degradation. I empty all of my belongings into the bucket on the conveyor belt, walk through the metal detector and the security guard directs me to the 3rd floor and gives me the "dead beat" stare. Upon entering the actual office even the woman behind the glass asking for my paperwork treats me with disdain. I couldn't care less though. I'm just soaking the entire experience in at this point. Fairly numb to the stimuli, I respond to the direct requests only while pondering "what the F*CK am I doing here in the first place?".The whole thing was like a crazy chess game Peep- the first page of the paperwork says "bring your most recent pay stub, w-2, tax return and a blank check because you WILL be required to make a payment". Crazy, right? Then on the next page it has a phone number for discounted legal representation that you could hire..yet, I can't help but think if I paid for a lawyer they would lay into me for even more dough under the logic of "he has money to pay for a lawyer, but not to take care of his kid??". I've realized that child support is makeshift alimony for the lower class. By taking me to family court, this chick has suggested that she has exhausted every possible option of communication in order to solicit assistance from me for our child..which is not true. As soon as she signed over her authority in this matter my position is presumed negligent REGARDLESS of what I have been doing for the 10-11 years that the child has been alive. That's disrespectful. Even worse, is the figure that their computer came up with as the required amount that I would have had to pay ($475 per month). Now, I'm living check to check just like alot of people, plus I'm married, with another child that depends on me as well. Paying $475 a month to this chick(because the money would NOT go to my sun) would cripple my livelihood-no bullsh*t. Fortunately, she was willing to agree on a significantly lower amount for me to pay. The mediator lady was taken aback by how easily the meeting had went, further detailing how unneccesary the court involvement was in the first place. I don't have a problem with taking care of my child..never did. But she obviously did. She successfully forced her way into having access to what her only son was due. Ezekiel says she'll die in her own iniquity. Here's the mindf*ck part of it..after we agreed on the said amount, I had to thank her, because she could have easily got me for half a stack a month and there would've been NOTHING I could do. hmpf..Family Court..Family is a serious thing..The foundational unit of structure for individuals..while court is usually a place where a game is played (tennis court, basketball court, etc) and I must say at 34 S. 11 street, Phila PA- one of the sickest games EVER is being played...on and with our families..Peace.
