A great poet once said, “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears” Rumi is my absolute one of my favorite Poet. A simple truth is we each walk alone in this world. Those lucky surrounded by love, family, allies, partners, friends, country, and humanity in all its glory.
The truth is in this age of chaos. Disinformation is king. By now you can tell a change is happening globally. The positions of the Free and Unfree are hardening to a coming divorce of globalization that ushered in the last three decades. Regionalization, Nationalism, State economic interests and hierarchy of cultures, religions, values, and forms of governance is being defined in real time. Gone are the days of a unipolar world dominance of narratives that defined generations of humanity. The world today is fragmenting at a faster rate than even some of us avid watchers cannot keep up with. In essence an age of CHAOS is upon us until we all catch our breath and order or a form of it is grudgingly defined globally. The scramble for resources, minds and wallets is on now chaotically as one order gives way to a new one not yet defined.
? International law is now my law in application of it by nation state actors, yet the non-nation state reactionaries have the same values. Call it populism, extremism, radicalization, or nationalism now. What this Average Mohamed can see is demise of an existing order being replaced by instigated chaos. This is the path of the world now. What should one do then in this world. Participate in the demise of their democratic, freedom, liberties and rights enshrining system for some not all for even democracies are not saints and it sucks. Or do we go for the new order emerging of Theocrats, Dictatorship and Communism now rising like an arc across humanity which is worse. Do we give up on values even though heavily influenced by the those defined as usurpers, colonizers, imperialist, war mongers and oppressors of the west. That definition is now global in reach. Pushed by Penny armies paid to do so and narrative means from Africa, Middle East, Latin America to Asia. The global south is on a path to reclaim what was their jewel of understanding. Average Mohamed says we should compete against being defined in weaponized narrative means by Pivoting our message to the global south. This process of weaponized narratives is not happening in vacuum. The theocrat, dictators and communists spend tens of billions to influence by means of metric and now clearly asymmetrical ways very successfully.
The path is there for all to see, and the ways of their influence campaign is coming home even here in the west among the masses. In the 90-2010s the tool of social media in narratives was used successfully to enhance and promote values like Human rights, freedoms, liberties, and rights in democratic format. We witnessed the rise of masses globally yearning for change. A chance at that order of Democracy, from color revolutions to Arab spring. Today all nations that are unfree are so afraid of this means they outrightly censor any narrative that dissents in their society. Social media is completely censored in theocracies, Dictatroship and Communists nations. One of an iron fist mentality of the dear leaders, elites and powerful of their society know better than the people. Then they turned around and reverse engineered the process into our western societies. Trolls exist now of penny armies and bots owned to influence the masses. Dividing and causing mayhem. Expanding already fissures in our society of politics, race, color, gender, religions, immigration, nativism, even basic understanding of what constitutes history of the western ways. In essence organized chaos of winning minds to fight each other internally and across democracies unleashed.
? Average Mohamed is a sinner blessed with foresight to clearly see the emerging pattern facing our democracies and republics. Went ahead and created the means to counter this ideological warfare unleashed on the Free People ways. By simple going against the populism of the day for what’s right and just. To espouse values against those values perpetuated globally from non-state violent reactionaries to theocrats, dictators, and communists. In essence an informational awareness arsenal of democracy that is mom and pop style built on our collective understanding that the individual matters and can win minds by the tens of millions globally for God, Country, and Humanity.
That means what Rumi said. I started this walk a decade ago, and the way appeared. The choice is not so easy, as I am self-funding 90% of effort without support, friends, allies, and partners to cause. Embargoed, censored, and blacklisted for even trying it. By those whom we have engaged courted and even helped in our government. Power is hubris in America now. Forcing this Average Mohamed to try overcoming it all again a new challenge by political means being applied. There is no equity, equality, equal opportunity now for some of us based on National Security Paranoia of the newly minted United Surveillance America powers we find ourselves under. But the path appears again, “what is in the way is the way” then as taught by Marcus Aurelius. I chose to dissent soon moving to dissidence means politically now because we need access to resources equitably to do woks for the Free Peoples Power. Not just us, but all of us. No exception, No exclusion of our humanity.
?Please use MERIT we ask now. Not BIAS of us out here now!
Dissenting now to boots and means applied by the elite and powerful agency in America. Asked publicly for Lions for Leaders to resolve issues outstanding amicably and reconciled. While the original path is still being followed and walked to win minds globally to the cause of the FREE PEOPLE WAY. Doing Trainings, Outreach, and empowering humanity across the world with works that will never ever stop.
My article thesis today is BE THAT GUY.
We are all either Free or Not now. This Average Mohamed goals is to win minds to the cause of Freedom, Liberties and Rights for All. Democracy of the people for the people by the people. Peacefully and nonviolently application of means. Seeking Allies, friends, and partners to cause now. By Activism and Political means as taught by Malcom X, By any means necessary.
That guy above is my hero he is a LION not SHEEP follower of the heard now. May it be easy for us now. For we still have work to do now.
Where this path leads to Allahu Allam, only God knows. But the way has appeared now.
