KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility

Image
KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together. This article centers around a powerful concept: KET.N , a Kemetic term gifted to our tribe by Brother Kwame Keuchler . KET.N , simply put, means “Our Thang.” Not just something we claim—but something we commit to. Something we shape and something that shapes us. The idea came alive during a conversation about gangster movies—yeah, I love those. One phrase always stood out: “This thing of ours.” And that got me thinking... Because we need that same spirit when it comes to Gye-Nyame. When it comes to Simsa. When it comes to our culture, our children, and our future. We need our own KET.N. KET.N: It Belongs to Us. We Belong to It. KET.N isn’t just a word—it’s a sacred commitment. Our Thang represents a bond with something greater than any individua...

“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth

Image
“This Generation Is Doomed!” — The Ancient Tradition of Blaming the Youth You’ve heard it before: "These kids today are always on their phones!" "They don’t go outside like we used to!" "They’re soft, disconnected, and distracted!" This chorus rings out from porches, podcasts, pulpits, and barbershops alike. But the more we listen, the more we realize—it’s not a new song. It's a remix of an ancient tune. What we’re hearing is not prophecy. It’s tradition. Not the youth breaking something sacred—but the elders struggling with the sacred breaking open and becoming something new. The Cycle of Complaint: A Timeless Pattern Every generation gets blamed for the downfall of the world. It’s almost a rite of passage. Ancient Egypt (KMT): Elders worried that young scribes were too informal with sacred texts, diluting divine knowledge. Socrates & Writing: The great philosopher warned that writing would weaken memory and destroy true understand...

Elon Musk and the Ghosts of Gray Uniforms: Technocracy in the Age of WiFi

Image
Elon Musk and the Ghosts of Gray Uniforms: Technocracy in the Age of WiFi Let’s be real—if Elon Musk’s life came with a subtitle, it might read: "How I Accidentally Fulfilled My Grandfather’s Fascist Fantasies—With WiFi." Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But peel back the tech-billionaire gloss, and what’s revealed is a lineage not just of wealth or ambition—but of ideology. This isn’t fiction. It’s history. And it matters. Thanks to a revealing interview on Democracy Now! with journalist Chris McGreal, we got the kind of ancestral origin story most billionaires hope you’ll never hear. McGreal, a seasoned reporter with deep knowledge of apartheid-era South Africa, laid it bare: Elon’s legacy isn’t just electric cars and Martian dreams—it’s colonial echoes rebranded for the digital age. 🕰 Let’s Rewind: Grandpa Had Plans Elon Musk’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, wasn’t your average adventurous chiropractor. He was the head of Canada’s branch of Technocracy Incorporated —a fringe...

Tricks Are for Kids, But Stories Are Not

Image
Tricks Are for Kids, But Stories Are Not We live in a world shaped not by facts, but by stories . And somewhere along the line, we made the mistake of thinking stories were just for kids. At Gye-Nyame Journey , I’ve been saying this for years: the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives . The stories we hold about ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation—these aren’t just words floating in our minds. These stories direct our behavior , mold our worldview, and set the parameters for what we believe is possible. But the problem is, most of us didn’t write these stories. We inherited them. We absorbed them. We consumed them like junk food—unaware they were feeding us poison. Narratives Are Weapons In today’s world, narratives—or “stories” as we used to call them—are some of the most powerful tools being used against us . And what’s worse is, we let it happen . We let others tell our stories for us. We allowed systems, media, and outside forces to define who we are,...
