A story that illustrates an unknown slavery that all Americans face.

Maybe many of you have heard that the Civil War was not about freeing the slaves, but rather a measure to enslave everyone in America.

Recently, I happened upon a wonderful movie that illustrated something very important in regard to slavery and the importance or duty of each of us to teach, no matter what the cost. Nightjohn (played by Carl Lumbley) teaches the alphabet to Sarny (played by Allison Jones). In the pre-Civil War South, slaves who dared to teach or learn reading and writing were severely persecuted by their masters.

An interesting note on the history of the casting of the film: It is reported that Carl Lumbley did not want the role of Nightjohn due to the fact that he would be playing a slave. However, when he read the script he was hooked to the importance of the message and agreed to play the part.

You will get the full impact of which I speak by watching the movie; however, I will give you a short overview of the movie, Nightjohn, based on a book:

A slave of the South, Nightjohn, had learned the alphabet and to follow he learned to read and write. He understood that "Words are Freedom". He was a free man but returned to the South and allowed himself to become a slave once more. His mission: To teach other slaves to read and write, starting with the alphabet. Nightjohn was sold to a plantation owner and befriends a young slave girl and started to teach her during the night to avoid being discovered due to the repercussions (hence the name, Nightjohn). When one of the other slaves found out about the teaching, he tried to put a stop to it; this due to the fact he himself was severely punished for learning. Of course the whole principle of not wanting the slaves to learn to read and write was because then the slave owners would lose control of them. This is the message you need to understand.

I highly recommend that you watch this movie to see how ignorance by fear is accomplished. This is truly a Brave New World where it is the duty of all of us to endure any thought of punishments that the ones who have enslaved us might inflict on us.

Unity and knowledge will make any fear go away. It is your duty to teach people to understand the law of which we have been compartmentalized not to know and understand; this is the "alphabet" that your slave masters do not want you to know. This is how they keep you enslaved by fear tactics by organizations like the Bar Association, the Media, and by the Government controlling your education (via curriculum through Department of Education... A Marxist tenet).
