The ultimate purpose of the AIM is to cultivate Transfer Culture among Our People and Communities, progressively moving entire populations of New Afrikans in Amerikkka from a way of life which supports their oppression and exploitation, to a new way of life which actively pursues Our collective Liberation by withdrawing from the processes of the system, in favor of Our own infrastructure. History teaches us that whenever New Afrikans in Amerikkka begin to express self-determination and self-sufficiency in an organized form, the state attacks it. From the rise of the Klan during Reconstruction to J.Edgar Hoover deeming the Panthers Free Breakfast and other serve the People programs as the greatest threat to U.S. "national security" at the time, the U.S. has ALWAYS attacked those institutions that dared to assert genuine Freedom.
None would disagree, that as free People we have a right to organize the AIM in Our Communities to serve Our interests. However, we must also understand the only rights we have in the U.S. fascist arrangement are those we can enforce. Our rights can only be enforced through self-defense. To this end, the Secure Communities Mandate and the Community Safe-Zones Initiative are integral parts of the AIM designed to defend Our People and the institutions we build from both internal and external threats.
There are contradictions which exist in Our Communities as a result of Our National oppression, from gang banging to dope dealing, from irrational violence to sexual predation, which exposes Our women, children and elders to the potential threat of injury or violent death.
The COMMUNITY SAFE-ZONES INITIATIVE is designed to create mutually agreed upon ‘safe sites’ in Our Communities where Our Youth, Women and Elders can go about the daily activities of social life without the fear of violent death, assault or abduction. In every Community where sub-culture elements are organized (gang members, drug dealers, etc.), these elements also have Mothers, Grandparents, Younger siblings, Children or Little Homies and Homegirls that they love and care for, and would have no problem supporting any effort that would ensure their safety.
The CSZI seeks to leverage this fact to identify and clearly mark specific sites in Our Communities where Our People congregate most, to establish mutually agreed upon Safe-Zones. This will require AIM activists,designated COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TEAMS, WHO LIVE in the Community to engage with leadership elements within these street tribes to clearly articulate the value of these Safe-Zones to the families and loved ones of the street tribes and other sub-culture elements indigenous to that Community, and the broader value of the other AIM Initiatives themselves, as a reason for ensuring these spaces remain secure and off limits when it comes to the more negative aspects of the gang culture. This is why indigenous leadership MUST be a cornerstone of ALL AIM Initiatives. Gang members are more likely to respond positively to those they've known and grew up with all their lives, than some outsiders trying to tell them where they should and shouldn't kick it at. It is the responsibility of CSZI Community Engagement Teams to ensure that all party's are aware of and agree to the designated Safe-Zones in the Community.
Once these sites are mutually agreed upon and clearly demarcated, the CSZI SITE DEFENSE TEAMS. Each designated Safe-Zone (the laundry mat, children's play ground, one of the local stores, etc ) will be manned by 3 or more CSZI personnel known as the Eye, the Voice and the Fist.
Site Defense Teams will be composed of those CSZI Activists with some security, intelligence and tactical training from the subject Community willing to volunteer their time in 2-4 hour shifts, (depending on the number of participants) to ensure the safety and security of Safe-Zone site.
SDT's will work in teams of 3: 1) An Observer called the 'Eye' 2) a De-escalator called the 'Voice' 3) and an (ideally armed) Intervener called the 'Fist'. The Eye will monitor all activity in and around the site watching for potential threats to Our People, Women, Youth and Elders be they physical threats, potential abductors, robbers, etc. The Eye will stay in constant radio communication with the Voice and the Fist. Though designated an Observer, the Eye will be trained in the event of necessity, to physically intervene to support the Fist or act in that capacity to prevent the injury, abduction or death of anyone in or around the Safe-Zone.
The Voice must ideally be someone with excellent interpersonal skills, a commanding presence, yet assertive and diplomatic.
When a potential threat is detected by the Eye, the Voice is tasked to engage the subject(s) to determine if they are indeed a threat to the Safe-Zone, and if so determined to either neutralize the threatening circumstances of the subject's interactions on the site, or to request the subject leave the site. In the event the subject is deemed an imminent threat the Voice will summon the Fist. The Voice, though primarily a first contact and de-escalation operative, will nevertheless possess the tactical acumen to support the Fist if necessary, and act to intervene to ensure the safety of our People at risk in the Safe-Zone, if necessary.
The Fist is specifically designated to physically intervene in the event of a threat to the Safe-Zone. Because of the potentially dangerous nature of such an intervention, the Fist must be highly trained to quickly subdue, neutralize or (if need arise) eliminate a threat to the lives or health of those present at the Safe-Zone. Both the Eye and the Voice are empowered to support the Fist if necessary. The Fist, ideally, will be armed with a concealed carry permit, depending on the laws in your specific State. SDTs do NOT work with law enforcement. If a subject has been deemed a threat to a designated Safe-Zone, the mandate of the SDTs is to either peacefully remove the threat from the Safe-Zone, or neutralize the threat and forcibly remove it. Circumstances will dictate the means.
Ensuring the safety and security of Our Communities is a prerequisite to our collective
success, and a common sense approach if we are to ensure that social life in Our Communities is of a quality worth living.
Which brings us to the SECURE COMMUNITIES MANDATE. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, every 7 seconds a New Afrikan female is abducted, victimized or murdered in the United States. Our anemic response to historic police brutality, preventable injury and racist massacres is
inescapable. The reactionary violence carried out by misguided street tribes and the drug trade in Our Communities on an almost daily basis
behind gang banging and drug disputes does not signal to outsiders that we are strong, but instead, it shouts we are WEAK AND VULNERABLE. A Community at war with itself is a weak Community, easy prey. It's why racist police do not fear beating and murdering us in broad daylight in front of witnesses; why sexual predators and pedophiles do not fear hunting Our Women and Children in Our streets; why white supremacists do not fear attacking or burning Our places of worship...because in their eyes we are weak and vulnerable. Easy prey with no reprisals. With social trends moving inexorably towards further violence from organized racists and enduring vulnerability, we can no longer allow this state of affairs to persist.
We all watched along with the world as Dylan S. Roof murdered 9 of our Sistas and Brothas in Emmanuel A.M.E. Church and the slaughter at Stamps grocery store, just as we watched 4 little New Afrikan girls in an Alabama church murdered by a klansmans' bomb almost 50 years ago. We watched as George Floyd was choked TO DEATH in broad daylight, in front of multiple onlookers and no one interviened. EmmettTill, Trayvon Martin, Reynisha McBride, Eric Garner, John Crawford, Ezell Ford, Michael Brown, Oscar Grant, Laquan McDonald, Tamir Rice, Breonna Taylor and so many more- stretching in an unbroken line of corpses all the way back to the middle passage demand that we institute the Secure Communities Mandate with all due haste.
The Secure Communities Mandate will be implemented in 5 segments:
* Martial Arts
* Arms
* Archery
* S.E.R.E.
* Community Security
The first 4 components are tactical in nature, skills which will allow us all to implement the strategy of the Secure Communities Mandate embodied in it's final component: COMMUNITY SECURITY. Community Security BEGINS with a simple change in how we Communicate: Introduce yourself to your neighbor on all immediate sides of you (front, left, back, right). You should know who your neighbors are, and they should know you. Let these discussions lead naturally into basic awareness of each other and for each other. Let these actions lead organically into looking out for one another, and thus Community Security.
Community Security is the most vital component of the SCM as it will dictate when, how, where and why we must employ all the other components of the SCM. The stated aim of the SCM's Community Security mission is to preserve the life and safety of Community members and to neutralize or eliminate any threat(s) to the life and safety of Community members. As each Initiative of the AIM is designed to work in interconnection, the SCM's standard counterpart to meet this mandate is the Community Safe-Zones Initiative (CSZI). This means wherever the SCM is organized a functioning CSZI must also be present.
The SCM's Community Security protocol will be organized in 3 components:
*Community Patrols designed to cultivate (Deterrence).
*Reactive Intervention designed to cultivate a competent (Emergency Response and Defense) capability.
*Threat Assessment and Tracking is designed to cultivate a force capable of (Proactive Neutralization of Clear and Present Dangers) to Our People and Communities.
I will not go into the details of all these components here, as they are outlined in the SCM Initiative itself. But I do want to touch on a few of them, and why they are so vital to us all and the entire AIM itself. A Secure Community is one that is AWARE of what is transpiring within it's borders, aware of potential threats and possessing the capacity to respond to them effectively.
Community Patrols give us this capability and further layer of support to those designated Safe-Zones in Our Community, ensuring in any case of internal contradiction or external threats be the racist cops, sexual predators or dangerous white supremacists we will not only have the capacity to know where they are and respond to them effectively, but the simple presence of these forces will serve to deter potential actors from even considering threatening anyone in Our Communities.
If and when our People or Community DOES come under threat from ANYONE, Our Reactive Intervention protocols will be capable of effectively intervening to ensure the safety and security of Our People and Communities. We will not hold a cellphone and record in cases of police brutality, we will interviene; we will not just write down the description of an abductor, we will ride them down, liberate our People and deal with them accordingly; we will not run and hide in the case of some racist active shooter, we will eliminate the threat with extreme prejudice. But, even this is not equal to the demands of the threats we face. We must be capable of assessing threats before they materialize on Our doorsteps. This is the reason Threat Assessment and Tracking is such a vital component of the SCM.
Due to the unique nature of U.S. racism and the fascist mass Psychology of white supremacy in Amerika, Our Communities face particularly dangerous threats from white nationalist hate groups. This reality prompts the NEED to maintain a degree of surveillance on such groups working in and around the city's where Our Communities are situated.
SCM personell will utilize all available information gathering medium to identify those groups which pose a legitimate threat to our Communities and its members. Locate any and all physical locations where they may operate and engage passive surveillance on these sites to trace all subjects associated with these groups and develop threat assessment profiles on all subjects. SCM personell will pay particular attention to identifying and detail tracing the leadership of identified threat assessed hate groups. The local SCM should maintain an extensive and highly detailed file, which should include places of residence, employment, etc. of leaders of identified hostile hate groups.
This intelligence gathering and maintenance is VITAL to the safety and security of Our Communities in these times as such groups and their leadership have made open threats towards our Communities and People, brazenly on social media and other media platforms, have demonstrated a level of sophistication and military tactics which could prove exceptionally deadly to Our Communities, and shown a determination to carry out such attacks in recent times. This means this aspect of our activities could be the difference between being able to neutralize an imminent attack BEFORE it occurs, or being able to preempt one in process, thus saving lives.
The SCM is a necessary component of social life for us if we are to live in safety and security, free from violence and abuse. The mere organization of Our Communities SCM structure will serve as a deterrent to both actual and potentialthreats, and places in Our hands the means to effectively defend Our own lives and the lives of those we love and live with. It's necessity to our future well-being is self evident, as is the AIM, but for those of you who do not truly grasp the underlying importance of the SCM, or the AIM as a whole, yet claim to be SERIOUS about progressive social change, I'd like to ask a simple question: Do you know what the 'Insurrectionist Act' is and what it entails?
The vast majority of you will say, NO, and it is this collective lack of insight, especially among those calling themselves Revolutionaries or progressives, which I and those of like mind, find so disturbing.
One of the reasons this is so relivant is in recent times you have had some OPENLY AND PUBLICLY asserting their intent to seize by force territory from the U.S., yet have taken no steps to counter what those of us who KNOW will occur in such an event.
That the NSA and other U.S. intelligence/counter-intelligence agencies are fully aware of these assertions, are no doubt monitoring all communications by all involved, and have initiated the necessary contingencies to neutralize such a move (which has been publicly announced might I say again) if and when it occurs aside, the Insurrectionist Act calls for the immediate cordoning off of the area where such elements are operating. Next the power in that area will be terminated. Has anyone made contingency for alternative heating and lighting resources such as solar farms or generator blocks? Under the Insurrectionist Act, the water supply in the targeted area will be flooded with laxative and sedative to induce uncontrollable bowel movements and sleep. Soldiers can't fight if their sleep and shitting themselves. Has anyone stockpiled clandestine stores of drinking and potable water? Soldiers can't fight thirst and the enemy and expect to defeat either. Under the Insurrectionist Act all known food stores and or Command and Control of rebelling forces will be targeted and destroyed by drone strike, to
starve and deprive of leadership rebelling forces. Has anyone seeded the Community with naturally occurring food sources or cultivated the capacity to knock a drone out the sky?
In each instance, the answer is undoubtedly NO. But what if there were a fully organized AIM in that Community. Where the Emergency Response Network would have ensured that the whole of the Community had more than enough water to weather any storm; where the SAC had transformed every piece of land in that Community to free food; where the New Afrikan Math and Science Centers Initiative would have cultivated the technological capability to potentially meet any challenge; where the CCEI ensured their were enough resources available to stockpile the Community; where the SCM and CSZI ensures we have the capacity to defend ourselves and each other on a protracted basis. The AIM serves both it's stated purpose and it's unstated purpose. Preparation and competence is the difference between being serious about progressive social change and playing with Revolution. The Struggle is an exact science, and the Revolution is not a game. Our lives are not a game. Our future as a People, is not a game.
What we do and how we do it NOW will determine Our relative preparedness and success in the future. What we are Organizing is nothing less than the future of Our People and the foundations of Our independent New Afrikan Nation. Let us be about the buisness of building.
