The world is currently facing unprecedented challenges, and we are questioning the form of governance that the people of humanity are willing to live under or accept. Our focus at Average Mohamed is on Africa for the years 2023-2025 in the works. Unfortunately, our means and ways of doing the work are limited, embargoed, and censored in America due to the National Security Paranoia of United Surveillance America led by an agency. Despite this, America remains the freest country in the world, and as proud Americans, we will always have choices. These options, though limited, are not uniquely available in America. It's important to understand that these options of choices are a result of a constitutional government established by the founding fathers of America. Unfortunately, the contributions of these individuals are often underrated today, with even their sculptures and busts being removed from public spaces in America by cancel culture means deployed. These wig-wearing, tight-fitting clothes-wearing white men who owned slaves created a formula for protecting the citizens from the government. This formula limited the government to a rules-based society where the citizen is sovereign in powers and abilities. It generated democratic principles, not just referring to political means, but also structural means, from the Bill of Rights to amending them to fit later generations as our society evolved. Including competing power centers of checks and balances. No entity could usurp all powers in this democracy and republic. Leaving space for us the people to adapt and change with our times for suitability to purpose. In essence gave us, the people a limited say in how, who, and what governs us only by the consent of all stakeholders.
?
The formula was built on Freedom, liberty, and Rights. These principles define what the government can do, its format, the responsibilities and freedoms the citizen can have, and who is responsible for those rights. If you answered government, you would be wrong. It is we the people. This is why Benjamin Franklin, upon the creation of the Constitution, said, "We gave you a republic if you can keep it." Keeping this republic has been an obsession of every generation of Americans. The duty, honor, and responsibility of the citizen. The progression of freedom, liberties, and rights for all Americans has been a significant and inspiring journey unprecedented in the annals of mankind, history will stand on that understanding for those who know it.
Let's reflect on the remarkable resilience and determination of one subset of Americans. The African Americans in the United States journey in our democracy and republic. From enduring the harrowing experience of slavery to fighting for emancipation and combating the injustices of the Jim Crow era, the African American community along with allies, friends, and partners have displayed unwavering courage and dedication to getting equality. Their struggle following World War Two, influenced by their experiences in fighting against Nazism in Europe, led to a powerful movement for change within the United States. Their use of civil disobedience and non-compliance reshaped the narrative of democracy, emphasizing the importance of equality and fair treatment for all. The descendants of slaves even ended up one day having an African American become President of the democracy and republic. That’s the power of Limited say of democracy in evolution. Democracy is chaotic and it sucks but will always transition towards that limited say of we the people. Totalitarians don’t. Theirs is an obey or perish mentality of governance. Their system is worse for us mankind if we are to maintain being FREE PEOPLE POWER in humanity.

The thesis of this process is clear: democracy, when governed under a constitutional democratic government, we the common man and woman people have the unique ability to adapt and change within generations to meet the needs of its citizens. It affords the right to change the current situation for amicable means of governance. The value of democracy is premised on the idea that every human being has the right to better themselves and their communities. The constitution was created to protect and enact laws for governance, not just for the citizen, but also for the protection of the citizen against the government of the day. Because of it, we, the people of America, are the freest people on earth. It is essential for the establishment, elite, and powerful to heed the limited say of us the people, as they can accommodate based on their interests, for the interest of the people. This leads to social cohesion, less anarchy, revolutions, or mayhem or disorder. That is the formula of success for a free people are productive people because to build humanity we need that spirit of Freedom, Liberties, and rights as an important component for growth in all other areas of it. That right is having our limited say.
To understand this aspect of things is to acknowledge that, as an ordinary person, not a member of the elite, powerful, or establishment, democracy is beautiful but complex. Despite its chaotic appearance, it will always self-correct and regain its balance when it tilts from one side of overt power to another through competition between elites, powerful establishments, and us, the world's common people.
?Currently, Average Mohamed is working to promote democracy in Africa during this period of upheaval. This age of chaos. The population is eager for change as the ruling elites, powerful establishments, and controlling cartels have taken over most of the power, wealth, and political space, and are now encroaching on the limited freedoms, liberties, and rights of the people. This issue has now become global in scope. In Africa, various approaches are emerging to address these challenges. One concerning trend is the promotion of totalitarianism as a viable option. The youth, predominantly Generation Z and Millennials, have been targeted with a narrative that has been persistently propagated for over 30 years by the world's totalitarians, including communists, dictators, and theocrats. The current formula in America, where democracy and constitutional means are used, is seen as racist, imperialist, colonizing, and capitalistic. This narrative is not only resonating with the youth in Africa but also finding a place in the minds of people here in America. As Average Mohamed, we can claim it is having an effect globally. To the detriment of the ideals of the evolution of democratic means for the advantage of the revolutionaries of totalitarian means.
?Look at what is happening in our cities and states that claim democratic ideals, from Kenya to America. The youth are restless. This generation is highly influenced by the internet and digital media. They are well-informed, and I have engaged with them for over a decade in schools, synagogues, churches, mosques, madrassas, civic arenas, and the public. Across the world. ?As an Average Mohamed, I consistently advocate for these values. Evolution, not revolution. Let us keep what we have and add more over time not burn it all down to rebuild. The value of democracy is a beautiful thing. Democracy’s inherent lesson is these folks with power, money, and authority can always pay half of us to kill the other half to keep it. Democracy is the only option peacefully done and non-violently in evolutionary means for us the common people to thrive and survive with Free people’s Powers of limited say. Revolutions end up eating us the common folk’s people into worse outcomes.

In Africa, there has been a struggle to establish robust governance and societal foundations since gaining independence from colonial rule less than a century ago. While the region's democratic progress may not be as advanced as America's after nearly 250 years of self-governance, there is a growing opportunity for positive change. It's important to address the influences of violent jihadists theocrats, communists, and dictators by actively promoting democratic values and fostering constructive dialogue. This shift in focus can lead to a more positive narrative and tangible progress in shaping a brighter future for Africa. I have written and posted the article here previously coming back from Africa. “The Revolution will not be televised, but it's coming to you live”. Average Mohamed upon returning from Africa as a special guest speaker for the 25th Anniversary commemoration of the Embassy Bombing in Tanzania by violent jihadists we saw this issue coming a mile away. We have been warning and advocating for narrative change and adaptation of strategies to deal with the decline of democratic values in the world for totalitarian means rising arc of communism, theocracy, and dictatorship.
Decided as the Average Mohamed Organization from America, we will focus our time, energy, and very severely embargoed, censored, and backlisted resources on teaching peaceful and non-violent ways to promote democratic ideals of governance and citizenship to Africans since I am not allowed to access funds due to being embargoed, censored, and blacklisted led by a U.S. agency due to national security paranoia for my kind in America. You and I all desire a change in governance. We seek more, ask for more, and will only obtain more if we accept certain truths. It does not matter under which system of governance you choose to live; we are all common men and women of the world owned, managed, and controlled by elites, the powerful, establishments, or complexes. The only difference between the evolutionary means of democracies and the revolutionary ways of totalitarians is that we, the people, have a limited say. Totalitarians have only one say in their elites, powerful establishments, complexes, and cartels that run them. It's either obey or perish under their regime or powers. They have zero tolerance for dissenting opinions, differences in understanding, freedoms, liberties, and the rights of their citizens who want to change or improve their system of governance. This age of chaos will ultimately decide the fate of the world today. As Average Mohamed Organization from Africa, the motherland we clearly understood the dynamics that are coming. We created, recruited, funded, and are now training Africans to have the right to evolve within their societies without resorting to revolutionary means. That is the choice and option available we espouse to Africa and the world inshallah.
?To work within their governments for change, not to burn it all down, is the ideology currently espoused by the revolutionary zeal sweeping the demographics who demand change now. Generation Z and Millennials are different because they are better than us and are lions for change globally compared to Generation X or Boomers. They will not tolerate or accept what we did. They are sophisticated, highly informed, mobile, internet-raised, globally connected, suave, narratives empowered, highly educated, and more ambitious than us. They care deeply for the social construct of their societies more than we ever will. Totalitarians have been at work for over 30 years, winning their minds on social media, media, and face-to-face outreach. Totalitarians are trying to destroy the democratic ideal of citizenship for their order globally, especially in Africa. They are way ahead of us, we the people of democracies of evolutionary means advocates.
Next week, I will start my class for North Africans, teaching about resistance to a revolution of totalitarian means and for evolution into democracy for Africa. We are not against any African government. But we are for FREE PEOPLE POWER of LIMITED SAY preservation in Africa for Africans by Africans. We invite government officials to take this class and learn the basics. We need your support now more than ever, as the forces coming for Africa are already influencing narratives. We are teaching non-violent and peaceful means of utilizing social media, media, and face-to-face outreach skills to all activists and government officials in Africa for FREE by Average Mohamed. Our mission is to train 1000 dedicated African Organizations by 2025. We have successfully conducted classes in Kenya, Cameroon, and now in North Africa. We extend a bold invitation to all women leaders, activists of any kind, clergy, government officials, and journalists to join and experience the power of mutual learning. This opportunity is open to people from all walks of life in Africa, and we are excited to empower the continent together. The narrative and path of destiny you take with this knowledge as Africans is yours and only yours alone. The limited say you chose is yours alone. Our citizen public diplomacy duty as Average Mohamed is to pass on skill sets for you to do so. But we are biased and open about it. We seek friendship between our common people of Motherland Africa and our beloved homeland America in the process of it. You will find democracy suits Africa better than totalitarianism.
We believe that a revolution not evolution is on the horizon for Africa. We reject the destructive 'burn it all down' approach advocated by some. While we may not have all the answers, we are united in our search for positive change. We challenge the influence of elites, powerful establishments, and cartels, aiming to create a system that truly represents the will of the people. As proud Americans, we reject the labels of colonizers, imperialists, racists, and warmongers. We embrace the label of capitalists, heck even communists, theocrats, and dictators are capitalists too. ?We reject the narratives taught and espoused by united totalitarians against our democratic ideals in the turmoil of the world for their Chaos. We are now prioritizing our business of democratic ideals over totalitarian ideology and are dedicated to empowering Africa by promoting the values of limited say. Our mission is to help the common man transition to the common folks, symbolizing the shift from homeland values to the motherland, just as an Average Mohamed from the motherland of beautiful homeland America. We firmly believe in the empowering nature of people and unequivocally reject the totalitarian methods used by some revolutionaries in Africa. Be the violent Jihadists of theocracy, communists, and now quicksand dictatorships popping up currently. We are doing this work for our common destiny, for mankind to keep it free, with liberties and rights for all, without exception or exclusion. Whether we, as average folks are embraced, accepted, rejected, denied, or faced with hostility, we should respond peacefully and non-violently. For it is us who will burn more than them now. We who stand to lose the most in this age of CHAOS upon us all.
?We all have a choice to make. We at Average Mohamed made ours we urge you for we need allies, friends, and partners to this cause. We are adamant about walking this path and the way we must clear it. Democracy is a beautiful thing worth preserving, advocating for, and promoting in Africa. There is a lot of good from America we can empower Africa with that totalitarians can only dream of in works and struggles. The first lesson is Evolution, not Revolution. For revolutions means Africa Burns down. Look to Sudan and Somalia as case examples of that formulation. They all started as revolutionaries. Look to Kenya where democratic change is possible. Because of constitutional means of democracy. The rights, freedoms, and liberties of Limited say like the American Model. That is the genius of those revolutionary wig earing, tight fits-wearing slave owners’ white men exclusively ushered into the world via the American Revolution. That is what we intend to teach Africa. The ideals of that revolution are already done but espoused as an evolutionary process of teaching it in works and struggles. Work within the means of what we have peacefully and non-violently. This is a better format; it sucks the product of governance over totalitarian means in this planet of rock for humanity. It is the best we have now in a model for freedom, Liberties, and rights for the common man and woman of the world.
?That choice of Limited say now. A constitutional government of the people for the people by the people. Free People Power of limited say in evolving nature that does not burn it all down revolutionaries. We will preserve what we gained as humanity and have our limited say now. That is the choice facing Africa today. We at Average Mohamed have made our choice and urging all to join us in this path for the way has become clear. Whether embraced, accepted, rejected, denied, or hostile means deployed we will do the work. Democracy must not perish in Africa. Our work for 2023-2025 is defined. They say in Swahili, TWENDE KAZI, Let’s go to work. Our urgent need is for allies, friends, and partners to cause. You already know who is against us as an Average Mohamed proudly American from the motherland of Africa. we did not come here to eat burgers and drink Coca-Cola but to bring back the best of the American way of life to the Motherland. May God make it easy for us all.
