TR9 Video: Strangers inna Strange Land

Ciao!Lampedusa mi ricorda tanto Ellis Island, e a voi?
While editing TR9, I produced a brand new video: Strangers inna Strange Land.
From Ellis Island to Lampedusa Island.

Lately, the inhabitants of "Fortress Europe" forgot they have been migrants themselves, back in the days....
So here's a brief summary of Migration Flows & Routes...
US govt: what is the migration policy today?
Your Left Index Finger, Your Right Index Finger…
"Fortress Europe" & Italy: New Migration Flows & Routes
Italian Govt is returning migrants to Lybia,violating the Non-refoulement principle and the rights of asylum seekers.

UN’s High Commissioner for Refugees, backed by the secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, expressed “grave concern”. New policy was censured by the Council of Europe...

DANGER: Italy, right of Asylum Seeker & Non-Refoulement Pirinciple under Threat!
THINK: It’s a controversial issue, Use Your Brain & Share Opinions with Others to Collectively Solve It…

TRIBAL REALITIES productions = my conscious video editing + my original hip-hop vibez = makes ya think!

TR9 pre-production: generando contenuto, connettendo persone/churning-out content, networking people

Ho appena fatto queste stickers, stampatele e distribuitele, che dite?
La fase di pre-produzione è cominciata anche per il Numero 9 di TRIBAL REALITIES underground visual magazine. Tra le dinamiche di questo numero si addensano Migrazione, Principio di Non-Refoulement (non respingimento)& diritti dei richiedenti asilo, Cittadinanza Terrestre.

Know ThySelf!Conosci Te Stesso!

TRIBAL REALITIES productions
vi presenta il nuovo video "Know ThySelf"

Le parole iscritte sul Tempio dell'Oracolo di Delfi riecheggiano nei discorsi di Marcus Garvey, per ricordarci che conoscere Sé Stessi è sentire di non avere Padroni!Piego il capo solo dinanzi al mio unico vero Signore: La Divinità!
Ho recuperato riprese video dell'epoca e l'audio originale del celebre discorso di NewYork Luglio 1921, miscelando il tutto con la mie vibrazioni dub-elettroniche.
E' giunto il momento di essere padroni di noi stessi, di conoscere il nostro Sé.
Buona Visione!

TRIBAL REALITIES productions present: "Know ThySelf"

Marcus Garvey in his "Man Know Thyself" article said:
"For man to know himself is for him to feel that for him there is no human master.(...)To me, a man has no master but God."

His words are rightful. Through conscious montage, I blended original video footage (public domain video ) & audio from Garvey's seminal speech ("Explanation of the Objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association" New York, July 1921) with my electronica-dub-vibez.Enjoy!
It's time to Master Your-Self. It's time to Know Thy-Self!

I Waka waka waka...

Lately, I am listening a lot to Fela Kuti and his AfroBeat. Have you heard about him?
Smooth flow of music, dropping words like bombs. Soft outside, hard inside. Ultimamente, sto ascoltando tanto Fela Kuti ed il suo AfroBeat. L'avete mai ascoltato? Un flusso morbido di musica, ogni parola è una bomba sganciata. Soffice all'esterno, ma duro all'interno.
FUNKY FUNY FUNKY!
ecco il testo di una delle sue canzoni.(Il video è su TR8 video rotation)
Lyrics from "Coffin for Head of State". ( video is on TR8 video rotation)

This is A Message from The Mother: She Told Me to Tell My Brotha & Sista She Loves You.
I am tired of politics and one way-partisan view of the world and life in general.
I don't wanna be right. I just wanna Peace in this world.
I am tired of NO statement. I Just Wanna Say YES.
As a Man, I turn my eyes to Women and their unique Love Vibes.
In this Issue Seven of TRIBAL REALITIES I am working on such theme.
In every civilization, in every culture, in every language, in every life...
there is nothing stronger then the Love of a Mother for Her Child.
And I think we all gotta start again from the top.
And proceed through our lil' lives.
With Love.

A HOPI ELDER SPEAKS:

"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is THE HOUR. And there are things to be considered...

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, "This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and
will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time
in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

I am watching tv headlines, and I don't like what I see. And You?
The report below tells the story of daily living in Gaza.
How can we solve this situation?
Ali Abunimah in his book One Country, bravely proposes a solution.
Consider the following document The Gaza Strip: A Humanitarian Implosion
What is your opinion?

Where did the Love go?
I am performing Yajna and Shamanic Rituals.
