Re: THIS IS A RASTAFARI DECLARATION
Colonialism in its strict and historic sense means the practice of settling a
large number of colonists in subject countries,
as did the British in North America, Ireland, Southern Africa, Australia, and
New Zealand, the French in Algeria, the Spanish and Portuguese in Latin
America, and many parallel examples in the pre–modern world.
Imperialism and Colonialism organized;
academic associations,
exploration societies,
sea privateers,
religious missionaries,
trade companies,
private companies,
colonial administrations, and
propaganda. (2
nd Esdras 11 verse 45)
Imperialism and Colonialism employed;
religious proselytism,
academic subjugation,
economic exploitation,
industrial sabotage,
military occupation,
physical then mental slavery,
social apartheid,
cultural assimilation, and
racial extermination. (2
nd Esdras 11 verse 42)
Hegemony:
The geopolitical, cultural, economic, and military predominance
of one state over other states, regional or global.
The Western Powers; influential nations in Europe and North America,
dominant in global politics, economics, and military affairs,
established global hegemony by means of colonialism
in Africa, Asia, and America.
Hegemony is distinguished from empire as ruling only external but not
internal affairs of other states.
Zionism:
A nationalist movement for (originally) the re–establishment
and (now) development and protection of a Jewish nation
in what is now the State of Israel, formally established as a
political organization in 1897 CE under Theodor Herzl.
“The Zionist enterprise is an enterprise of conquest.”
Berl Katznelson, 1929 CE.
The Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland (1899 CE)
is an umbrella organisation for the Zionist movement,
established to campaign for a permanent homeland for the Jewish people
in modern day Palestine, said to be the Promised Land of Israel.
But where is the Promised Land of Israel?
It was the land promised to Abraham, which is,
clearly from reading Genesis chapter 13,
to the south of Egypt, up the river Nile, beyond the great desert:
tropical Africa.
Following the establishment of the State of Israel,
Zionism patronizes its development, protection and hegemony.
Disenfranchisement and material alienation of peoples is inequity.
Interpretation of The Book of Daniel Chapter 7:
1: In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon
Daniel had a dream of his head upon his bed:
then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
2: Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold,
the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
{sea = peoples, nations}.
3: And four great beasts came up from the sea,
diverse one from another.

it devoured and broke in pieces,

8: I considered the horns, and, behold,

27: And the kingdom and dominion,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High,
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.
28: Here is the end of the matter.
As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me,
and my countenance changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
Interpretation of The Book of Daniel Chapter 8:
1: In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar
a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel,
after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2: And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw,
that I was at Shushan in the palace,
which is in the province of Elam;
and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3: Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold,
there stood before the river a ram which had two horns:
and the two horns were high;
but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
{The Achaemenid Empire; 550–330 BCE, = Median and Old Persian}.
4: I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward;
so that no beasts might stand before him,
neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand;
but he did according to his will, and became great.
5: And as I was considering, behold,
a male goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth,
and touched not the ground:
and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
{Philip II of Macedon (382 to 336 BCE) established the League of Corinth
in 338/7 BCE, as the elected hegemon of the Greek confederation, for a
planned invasion of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia.
Notably his immediate successor Alexander, achieved this in his stead}.
6: And he came to the ram that had two horns,
which I had seen standing before the river,
and ran at him in the fury of his power.
7: And I saw him come close to the ram,
and he was moved with rage against him,
and struck the ram, and broke his two horns:
and there was no power in the ram to stand before him,
but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him:
and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
{Alexander the Great’s invasion of the Persian Empire (334 to 330 BCE)

28: Here is the end of the matter.
As for me Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me,
and my countenance changed in me:
but I kept the matter in my heart.
Interpretation of The Book of Daniel Chapter 8:
1: In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar
a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel,
after that which appeared unto me at the first.
2: And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw,
that I was at Shushan in the palace,
which is in the province of Elam;
and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
3: Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold,
there stood before the river a ram which had two horns:
and the two horns were high;
but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
{The Achaemenid Empire; 550–330 BCE, = Median and Old Persian}.
4: I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward;
so that no beasts might stand before him,
neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand;
but he did according to his will, and became great.
5: And as I was considering, behold,
a male goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth,
and touched not the ground:
and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
{Philip II of Macedon (382 to 336 BCE) established the League of Corinth
in 338/7 BCE, as the elected hegemon of the Greek confederation, for a
planned invasion of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia.
Notably his immediate successor Alexander, achieved this in his stead}.
6: And he came to the ram that had two horns,
which I had seen standing before the river,
and ran at him in the fury of his power.
7: And I saw him come close to the ram,
and he was moved with rage against him,
and struck the ram, and broke his two horns:
and there was no power in the ram to stand before him,
but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him:
and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

13: Then I heard one saint speaking,

How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice,
and the transgression of desolation,
to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14: And he said unto me,
For two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

15: And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision,

17: So he came near where I stood: and when he came,
I was afraid, and fell upon my face:
but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man:

18: Now as he was speaking with me,
I was in a deep sleep with my face toward the ground:
