Nation of Gods and Earths/Five Percent

1.) What are the Nation of Gods and Earths (Five Percent?)
The Five Percent began as an offshoot of the NOI (Nation of Islam) back in 1964 by Clarence 13X who was a minister in Mosque no. 7 under the tutelege of Malcolm X. The movement was started because Clarence 13X rejected the notion that Wallace Fard was God Incarnate (see NOI). He began teaching that the black man himself was god. Five Percenters also depart from NOI in their teaching of the Supreme Alphabet and Supreme Mathematics, an arcane system devised by Clarence 13X wherein each letter or numeral denotes a concept with an accompanying parable. "A" stands for Allah, "B" is Be or Born, "C" is See and so on. This process is known as "dropping science".
Supreme Mathematics - teaches that numbers 0-9 means:
1 - Knowledge
2 - Wisdom
3 - Understanding
4 - Culture/Freedom
5 - Power/Refinement
6 - Equality
7 - God
8 - Build/Destroy
9 - Born
0 - Cipher

2.) Why do they call themselves members of the Nation of Gods and Earths or Five Percenters?
Clarence 13X taught that eighty-five percent of the population is made up of ignorant, unlearned and uncivilized people who need to be led (mostly churchgoers). This eighty-five percent are believed to have no "knowledge of self". Ten percent of the population have some knowledge of self [i.e. the real truth], however, they use this knowledge to wield control over the eighty-five percent vs. "liberating" them [most baptist preachers, including Rev. Jesse Jackson are believed to be in this category]. Lastly, he considered the remaining five percent to be those who thought/believed like himself and his followers. The "poor, righteous teachers", the ones who do possess knowledge of themselves, their origins, and the way the world system really is -- and additionally, the way in which the new world order will come about. Their job/mission is to educate the eighty-five percent to what this hidden or veiled knowledge really is. [In the last few years, they have preferred to be called the Nation of Gods and Earths. The men are referred to as "gods" and the women are referred to as "earths"] - I have been informed recently by a member that Allah "The Father" , Clarence 13X, said that after 1967 they would no longer be known as the 5% Nation of Islam, but as Allah's Nation of Gods and Earths.

3.) How did this message spread?
This message was delivered as a street rap that mesmerized New York City youth. They won converts by the hundreds. Today the group numbers in the tens of thousands in NYC alone. This message was also well-timed, as the 1960's were obviously a time of great struggle for blacks in America. This was a message [very similar to the black supremacist doctrines of the NOI] that made black youths feel superior in a world where they were viewed as wholly inferior.

Like the transvestite said: "Don't Dream It, Be It!"

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

80's Music Retrospective

Since I started talking about it today the floodgates have opened and now I gotta blab. I'm taking a moment to remember some great songs and bands.

Jesus and Mary Chain: Just Like Honey, The Living End, Taste Of Cindy, Never Understand, You Trip Me Up.

Love and Rockets: It could be sunshine, Kundalini Express, Ball of Confusion, Jungle Law, No big Deal, Motorcycle, So Alive, If there's a Heaven Above, The Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, Haunted When the Minutes Drag, God and Mr. Smith, Mirror People, No New Tale to Tell, Everybody Wants to go to Heaven, Earth Sun Moon, Lazy, Here on Earth, Waiting for the Flood.

Siouxsie and the Banshees: Spellbound, Cities in Dust, Trust in Me, Strange Fruit, Gun, Peek-A-Boo, Rawhead and Bloodybones, Kiss Them for Me. ( I'm forgetting a LOT of good stuff )

Dead Can Dance: Fuck it! Just buy ANY album and marvel at the glory. Let me recommend Aion, A Passage in Time, Into the Labrynth, Toward the Within or Serpent's Egg.

I'm not even gonna get in to all the great other bands like Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Severed Heads, Negativeland, Devo, and so on that I am not mentioning here.

Jesus and Mary Chain and The Cocteau Twins

My two most fondly admired bands right now. Rediscover their greatness! You won't be disappointed. Also, Love and Rockets, Tones on Tail and Dead Can Dance are forgotten gold in the burial chamber, dust off your old cd's and remember the glory that music once had. Psychocandy may perhaps be the single best album of my lifetime and I am not forgetting The Smiths or The Cure when I say that.
