Wrest in the four winds elder Field Marshall RICHARD AOKI

[XXPANTHAXX]

I remember an elder Native chief saying in a movie that- “some people hear their inner voices with much clarity, and so they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legends” So now I intend to speak of a legend.

I was once asked how you bury a dragon? And I answered- you spread their ashes to the four winds, and they in turn will deliver them in flowing gales to the four corners of the earth, where in their place will be borne four more raging dragons. Adding, - it is how we received MUHAMMAD, CRAZY HORSE, MAO, LENIN, MALCOLM, LUMUMBA, JOAQUIN MURRIETA, JOHN AFRICA, SALVADOR ALLENDE, STEVEN BIKO, NELSON MANDELA, TANIA, HAYDEE, AND ERNESTO CHE GUEVARA, AMONG MANY OTHERS.

When we look at how the winds, skies, earth, seas and mountains labored in harmony to bring forth these human fruits to us, we can perhaps now witness how these very elements presently rebel against us because of how we stood idle as the best of them were malportrayed, betrayed, imprisoned, and even murdered. At present we have also foolishly ignored the four winds and dear earth mother in bringing to us and supporting most the present dragons, like LEONARD, MUMIA, FIDEL, CHAVEZ, EVO MORALES AND OTHERS. Indeed there are many more, still unnoticed.

I was then asked HOW WE WOULD KNOW A DRAGON. and I answered- The FIRE that present dragons breath are stinging words of truth and their sustenance is FEARLESSNESS. For who else can stand in the very face of their incarcerators, torturers and before the final bullet still utter the stinging words of truth. ONLY A DRAGON.

I was then asked the final question by a youth who addressed me in the low language of our oppressors- “C’mon Curly stop the bullshit, and weaving f**kin words, cause we done had nough o that shit, adding, if dragons are such bad Mother fuckers, then why they dead, why can they be killed?”.

I answered in the foregoing language- “Dragons never fucking die, cause they will ALWAYS live in someone’s heart and mind FOREVER. They are mean mother fuckers, and yet gentle, strong and yet humble, and more than often can scream above the roaring crowds, and when spoken to directly, yeah, they can weave their words in what you now call the- spoken word”.
“IT ISN”T that they can’t communicate at all- it is that fucking opportunists and liberals and radio personalities and phony assed peace mongers purposely and jealously keep them off the stage- keep them from talking to youngbloods like YOU”.
IT IS that dragons are sent to make CHANGE, like Malcolm said, by any means necessary. That Muslims are divided because they won’t believe that Muhammad said that JIHAD was prescribed for them against those who would cause oppression in the land. That George Jackson showed you the blood in his eyes through ACTION- That Lenin said that revolution was the only solution, MAO- said that we must be like the sea that surround the fish and hence-our enemies, CHE- Hasta la Victoria Siempre, Pancho Villa- that he preferred to die on his feet than to live on his knees. And so they die, or are put to death while we sometimes dance to the fucking reggeton.

With all this fucking history behind us, around us, and with us, it would seem righteous then that all of our labor in the west should be to bring together all the dragons into the light and build a conference and party comprised of dragons and former political prisoners and not waste any more time with crap artists selling bullshit and blue skies who have no clear solutions to the problems that confront us. If there is any question about any of US dragons, then look at OUR sacrifices.

In speaking for myself -while my seven years of a seventeen year sentence served does not qualify me to SPEAK on a stage before so called peace and anti war movements, stick a candle into a paper cup and stand still in a vigil for the semblance of two hours begging my oppressors to stop murdering Iraquis and Palestinians, the fact that I was born in a colony of the racist fucking united states, the bullet fragments and scars on my neck from a dope dealing scum sucking fucking pig and the reality that I was a member of the ONLY fucking liberation army that black people have had on this land should at least earn me the right to speak for and about other political prisoners who have been close to death and the crosswinds.
You would at least agree that I should at least be allowed to say things on behalf of warriors and soldiers who have stood erect in the face of injustice, and who like Field Marshall RICHARD AOKI ,who once carried a 2X4) big stick to his enemies, do not care that liberals may claim me to be divisive. I remember having to liberate a microphone once (while on live radio) in order to speak directly to soldiers and political prisoners incarcerated in San Quentin. I held the microphone through the pressure of bare knuckles while declaring that revolutionary “old soldiers don’t fade away, they just get two minutes on the program”.

Indeed some of the former soldiers I’ve been in the trenches with are presently and publicly denying to have been a part of that formation. People who cower under pressure are neither dragons nor
Revolutionaries. And so with dragons the lines ARE ALWAYS clearly drawn!. Can you then now see how we know a bad mother fuckin dragon from the murder mouth politicos of the moment.

We are what we live! And Richard Aoki lived a full life, as dictated by the four winds and the revolutionary party that he served. And if you could please allow me to be more poetic, and use less explicit language for the moment - If we fail to save Mumia from breathing western produced lethal gases, or the injection of death, or tear and wear down the wall that encases Leonard, or fail to liberate Alvaro Luna, the Angola 2, the Cuban Five, the Africa Family, then we will most assuredly and coalescently be delivering them into the very pit of western injustice. It is then, at the very least, incorrect to do nothing for fear of doing wrong.

In speaking directly to Richard (co-founder and Field Marshall of the Black Panther Party) Aoki, please ride the four winds in dashing splendor, as only you can, so that young people will breathe in the essence of your courage. You are loved, as Che explained it- That a true revolutionary is guided by the great feelings of love. And you certainly were………
