ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

---

I especially dedicate this work to all incarcerated involuntary outlaw brethren throughout America, and abroad.  In particular, those of you with vision, ambition, passion and desire to manifest your ideas into actions and results, but are unable to due to unjust over extended confinement.

I know all too well the torturous feeling and mental turmoil of having bright ideas, foresight, intellect, and power of influence – been kidnapped, buried alive, hidden, and vanquished into the dismal crypts of a diabolically wicked penal system.

One of the very reasons I have so much respect and admiration for founders and leaders of street organizations is because of their abilities to assemble, aspire and move to action non-motivated youth.  Encouraging them to participate, and become a part of something much bigger than themselves.

They can take our lives, freedoms, wealth, ruin our names, reputations and legacies, but could never kill our visions and spirits!  When great ideas and visions are adopted into the thoughts and actions of others, it is catapulted into the stratosphere of eternity.  A caged mind flows free.

To my editor, Tonja Hopkins, mother of one of my truest and closest brother in life and struggle, Brandon Jeron Hopkins, aka B-Smooth.  First, I thank you for giving birth to one of the strongest, most influential and giving brother’s I have ever encountered in my entire life.  Brandon’s memory is etched in the hearts and memories of many, (especially mine) forever.  Be looking for my memoir with vivid details of how Brandy had a major influence over my upbringing in the concrete jungles of the city streets in Chicago.  Second, I thank you for offering me your professional assistance with this project, when I was unable to afford to pay for professional editing.  You are truly a blessing that I will not ever forget and will always be grateful.

I sincerely like to give special acknowledgements to a few men who have a positive influence in my life’s journey.

To by brothers Donavan Lil Mac MacAfee, Tea Mack McClurge, and Casper, two of whom I met in prison.  You three brothers do not know each other, but have very similar disciplines, that I will always admire and respect.  My brother Macabee being the voice of aspiration to get me jump-started on my first book, which is my, not yet published, memoir; that I had for years previous, in mind to write.  You told me that once I completed my first project, I would be motivated to do another.  You were right; this is my third book, but first to publish.  Again, I thank you for your inspiration.

My brother Casper, whom I have known since my youth, I learned much from you about self-discipline, and how to hustle.  Although there have been times that I’ve deviated from those principles, I must say about Casper on a more personal note, that when many guys in the hood thought you were a square, I always knew you were not only knowledgeable but also a soldier, because you didn’t hang out on the blocks or engage in any foolishness; some hood cats mistook that for weakness.  Not only have I always understood and respected that, I also had your back. One thing I love, admire, and respect about C above all (rather it was pure luck, quick wits, or a combination of both), is that he stayed out of prison!  And for that, you are one of my very few heroes. 

I have been inspired and motivated in my life by many, up close, from afar, directly, indirectly, from personal acquaintances to total strangers.  However, while serving a twenty-five year federal prison sentence, I can honestly say that Tea Mack is one of very few brothers I have come in contact with, who pushed me out of my comfort zone and inspired me to excel to a higher level, by any means, under any circumstances, without excuses.  I’ve gained much by simply watching this brother’s work ethic, dedication, self-discipline, and listening to his constant words of wisdom and motivation.  If there is ever any business to be taken care of, I trust without doubt or contradiction that Tea Mack will get it done.  Thank you for opening up some doors for brothers such as myself, I am forever grateful.

Surely, you don’t realize, when you move and speak, how much you remind me of my man, Casper, but only a bit younger, and much darker version.  I could imagine that the course we’re on would be a similar course to that of me and C.  Striving to make boss moves! Even with less than nothing.  Although we all have similar disciplines and motivations, I have to admit that there are times I have been the most impulsive, impatient, persistent, and reckless daring of all; which aren’t great combinations.  Such qualities of strengths and weaknesses mixed have often gotten me into the worst of troubles.  I should say in my own defense that sometimes, smart people do dumb things.  I wouldn’t be the first or last person proven too smart for their own good, even smarter is he who heeds the words to the wise.  Such character flaws leave men, like me stuck in limbo, on the journey of improving oneself, from ‘niggas’ [back] to gods.

As has always been, the journey from here on out, is straightforward and direct.  We’re too old for the nonsense and straying off path.

To my brothers that I do not mention, that are also near and dear to my heart, for whom I have love and respect, and for any whom I may have the slightest measure of influence over, this is the path that we too must remain steadfast on, the never-ending journey toward self-improvement – NO MORE MISTAKES ALLOWED!

For all you Goofball Jokers, who are, and forever will be, on Gilliganism:  THE JIG IS UP!  You are, and forever will be, exposed!  We see YOU, stop playing!

As for you cowards afraid to acknowledge self, and make corrective changes, you’re so insignificant and obsolete, it doesn’t even matter.  Either way, you’ll be rolled over, or simply fade in the wind.  A wise man changes often, only fools remain the same.

To my uncle Meco, whom I’ve always viewed as an older brother, as stated in my memoir:  I have always looked up to you since we were kids.  I would blindly and unquestionably follow you to the ends of the earth.  Everything I saw you do, I wanted to do, even when I was too young to understand what I was getting myself into.  To this very day, I would go the depths of hell with you, for any righteous endeavor.  That being noted, I am too grown, with too many responsibilities to allow any man, woman, or child to send me off on any kind of foolishness.  But I trust and doubt that is something you’ll ever do.  I’ve done a fine job, thus far, of doing bad all by myself.  I love you Unk, and can’t wait for us both to be out in the world together again, after twenty-five years of be being separated.

Last but not least, my granddad, Monroe Broadwater (don’t worry Pops, I could never miss you, I also paid homage to you in my memoir), but I’ll repeat right here that, I Thank You for being an example of what a man is supposed to be.  You truly are my real hero, and the complete measuring stick by which I aspire to be.  You can rest assured that your namesake will live on in a positive manner, that’s my promise to you.  I love you Pop.

Your Son and Brother,

Tremmel (Tree Ali) Broadwater

INTRODUCTION

THE CRIMINAL ILLUSION

---

If you can recognize illusion as illusion, it dissolves.  The recognition of illusion is its ending.  Its survival depends on you mistaking it for reality.  In the seeing of who you are not, the reality of who you are emerges itself.       Eckhart Tolle

The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word illusion as: An erroneous perception of reality.  b. An erroneous concept or belief.  2.  The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.  3.  Something, such a fantastic plan or desire, that causes an erroneous belief or perception.

Illusions are infinite, and manifest in various shapes, forms, and fashions.  This world in which we live, are filled with man-made illusions, intentionally created to be adversarial towards our nature.  These illusions are designed by people of deception and wicked nature, with a long history of ill intentions.

The Bible’s book of Exodus chapter 2, versus 11, and 19; speaks about pharaohs magicians performing tricks, and being at odds with God, whom spoke through Moses, on behalf of the Hebrew slaves.  God demanded that pharaoh release his people from bondage, and warned to destroy his nation if he does not comply.  Pharaoh would not comply, and kept pulling tricks, until God finally was fed up, and caused a series of ten plagues to bring Pharaoh’s entire empire to ruins.  A magician is a trickster, an illusionist, someone who deceives.

Symbolically, Pharaoh’s magicians of today would be synonymous with high-level politicians/ (poli-tricks), government officials, and the corporate executives who capitalize off the ignorance of the masses.

One of the various multitudes of illusions that (the world) and this society, have been bred, and conditioned to believe, and emulate- is the perception of who, and what is deemed criminal.

We may commit petty crimes, (and we most certainly have been deemed outlawed from the onset), but there are major differences between an outlaw, and true criminals.  The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word Criminal as:

(1).  Of or having the Nature of crime; criminal abuse.  (2).  Relating to the administration of Penal law (3) a.  Guilty of a crime.  (3)b.  Characteristics of a criminal.  Now let us weigh that in comparison to being instantly outlawed, and criminalized.

Criminalized is defined as: To impose a criminal penalty on or; to outlaw.

And Outlaw is defined as: A person excluded from normal legal protection and rights. 

(2) Declared illegal. 

(3) Deprived of the protection of the law.

Who would disagree that Black Americans have always been deprived of the protection of the law, and excluded from normal legal protection and rights?

WE WERE NEVER TRULY CRIMINALS!, What we have been is criminalized and outlawed through a system, created and run by true criminals in nature, which in essence makes us INVOLUNTARY OUTLAWS! True criminals by nature are usually in high positions of power and authority, with the ability to determine the outcome and livelihood of mass groups of people.  That alone entails that we are in no position to demonstrate real criminal abuse, or display true criminal characteristics.

When our own people get into high positions of power and authority they usually adopt the mind-set of our persecutors- by viewing and treating us the same (or even worst) than the natural enemies of our collective advancement.

I have a phrase I often say, that: [Everything illegal is not always criminal and everything criminal is not always illegal.]  CASE AND POINT: Chattel slavery was legal; but no doubt heinously criminal.  No one ever did a day in jail for the atrocities suffered by our African predecessors; or the intentionally imposed psychological defects that were inherited by us.

History bears witness that our African predecessors were outlawed by the American legal system from the time they were drug over here chained and shackled.  It’s also evident that the practice of legal castration has not changed much with us today.  The criminal justice system has always been used as a tool for persecuting Black people in America.

FROM THE CHAINS AND SHACKLES OF CHATTEL SLAVERY TO BLACK CODE LAWS AND JIM CROWISM- From mandatory minimums and 100 to 1 crack versus powder cocaine ratios, to a ratio of 18 to 1, makes no difference; it’s still all very much the same — racially biased, unfair, and unjust!

As sure as cotton pick’n and Chattel slavery were a lucrative business, so too it is with the modern day prison trade.  It has mostly nothing to do with crime, punishment, and rehabilitation (as its orchestrators would have the masses believe).  Their main ambitions are dollars and cents, profit and loss, and corporate interests.

NOW ON THE FLIP SIDE; A pre-teen growing up in an impoverished home, high crime, and drug infested area- gets baited into selling drugs as a means of income is not a criminal.  Engaging in illegal activity doesn’t necessarily display criminal characteristics.

A twelve year old unexpectedly approached by a 45 year old drug addict, freely handing him a twenty dollar bill thinking he’s selling drugs- may at first be startled and confused- but will quickly realize this is a way to make quick and easy money.  He’ll eventually obtain a dope sack from an older dealer and start working the block.  Over time he’ll mature into a more sophisticated dealer.  By the time he turns 18 he’ll catch an adult felony and be processed into the criminal justice system.  He then becomes a convicted felon, an ex-con, and labeled a hardened criminal by society.  Many of us can identify with this scenario to some degree.  The fact is that this person is no true criminal by nature.  He has been conditioned by social and environment circumstances to engage in activity deemed illegal, and evolved into thinking that he’s criminal.

It’s not criminal to sell someone that which they desire, and seek of their own free will, without force or influence from your behalf.  There were drug addicts long before us, and I’m sure will be long after us.  The law of supply and demand is basic fundamentals of commerce and trade.

In no way am I defending the selling of illegal drugs.  It’s wrong and counterproductive to deal in anything that destroys our own communities.  However, if the pre-teen has never been taught to understand the long-term effects of his actions- and develops the habitual lifestyle of the streets, he becomes desensitized to its outcomes.  The more wrong someone does, the less they see any wrong in it.  America’s power orchestrators have forever been desensitized to the wrong they do us.  As true criminals they fully understand, and manipulate the outcome of their strategic planning- without remorse, or worries of consequence; while many of us are oblivious to the outcome of our careless actions.

DURING THE PROBATION ERA when alcohol was illegal and mobsters such as Al Capone were bootlegging and extorting other dealers- the government stepped in and decriminalized it by making it legal.  Instantly the crime rate dropped dramatically!

Alcohol is more harmful and addictive than many illegal drugs.  Does the government’s hand in it make it any less criminal than when mobsters controlled it? If so, then the same will result in legalizing all drugs.  You do away with the criminal elements through government regulation, and diminish most drug related crimes.  But if they were to do that, it would also yield a dramatic drop in free slave labor in prison trade.  The enemies of our collective advancement know this parallel all too well.

So instead of educating and setting up preventive measures to keep the cycle from self-regenerating- this society further induces crime and capitalizes from it.  They take complete advantage of our ignorance and deficiencies, to hold us as commodities in their penal system.

Therefore it is all of our duties as conscience Men to go home and properly warn, guide, and educate our youth; starting with self and leading by example.  Our actions will speak far greater volume than mere words.

Look to the politicians in the highest offices of government.  Barack Obama was legitimately voted president of the United States- not once, but twice.

If the country’s majority wanted him out of office for passing the Affordable Health Care Law dubbed Obama Care, they would not have voted him in for a second term.

House majority leader John Boehner and the Republican tea party hate President Obama and his Health Care plan so much, that they adamantly disregarded the law to showcase their biasness and contempt.  Even after taking the issue to the supreme court, and the highest court in the nation up-holding Obama Care as law- Republicans still rebelled by shutting down the entire government!

Holding for ransom the American public, causing an adverse effect on the economy, and negatively affect the livelihood of the masses.

This is the ultimate example of criminal characteristics and behavior by high-level officials.

What they did was clearly an Obstruction of Justice, (which is the interference of the orderly administration of law and justice).

Just because you don’t like a law doesn’t give you the right to not abide by it, especially those in high positions of power sworn under oath to uphold it.

I was personally given a five-year sentence enhancement for obstruction of justice, in addition to the twenty-year sentence I already faced for a petty crack charge.

In fighting for my own life and freedom- their justification for the increased penalty was because I testified on my own behalf, contrary to the testimony of the government’s witness with the end results of a twenty-five year prison sentence.  If that be the case then, every defendant who pleads not guilty in open court, and then later found guilty by a jury, has instantly obstructed justice.

The sole purpose of proceeding to trial is to oppose the charges one faces.  But when the orchestrators of power show contempt and disregard for the law, not only does it adversely affect masses of people, it’s all perfectly legal.

What’s criminal is when an invading government trades whiskey with a Country’s indigenous people, for their goods, with the intentions of reducing them to drunken savages, in order to trick them out of their land; then supply them rifles with just enough ammunition to justify slaughtering them to near extinction.

Or, how about intentionally supplying the Native Americans with blankets infected with small pox disease- causing helpless, innocent, Men, Women, Children, and infants- to suffer a slow miserable death?

What about intentionally injecting the Tuskegee Airmen with the Syphilis virus, unbeknownst to them; using them as involuntary experimental lab rats, immediately after they helped this country, and its government wins a world war? Are these not monstrous acts of beasts, with The Nature of Crime?

It’s also criminal when today’s big wig politicians on Capitol Hill, who vote against fair sentences for non-violent drug offenders, are caught themselves buying and using the exact same drugs they condemn, and incarcerate others for.  [such as, U.S. Congressman Trey Randal (Rep.  Florida) Tea party conservative, among many others].

What’s criminal is when powerful public officials and corporate executives’ scheme and plot year round, diabolical plans to keep their prisons filled with human livestock.  Under the guise of society’s best interest and public safety- politicians in bed with corporate execs, and influential lobbyist- scheme up laws that makes it easier to arrest, charge, convict, and herd into prison- unwitting street victims for over extensive periods of time.  Which in turn tail spins minority communities into self-regenerating cycles of poverty and despair, while the investors of prison industries reap astronomical benefits.

When private investors like Corrections Corporations of America (CCA) make offers to all local, state, and federal governments to buy up all of their prisons, if they agree to keep them at 90 to 95 percent full- how do you think any government could even adhere to such an agreement?…

They utilize the criminal justice system to fabricate laws, and concoct sentencing schemes that keep us locked in.  That’s partly the reason why every time you turn on the news in cities like Chicago, every crime is reported as being gang related.

In the 80’s right before they made crack penalties 100x’s greater than penalties for powder cocaine- every crime in the country was broadcast as being crack related.  It took over 25 years for the hidden agendas behind the crack epidemic to be exposed, and as that scheme reluctantly dwindles to a slow death, they’re birthing in new ones as I write this book.

Two new traps being set today is behind gangs and guns.  If you J-Walk in Chicago its broadcast on the world news as being gang related.  Two siblings can get into an argument and they’ll label it as gang related.

This method has been used by law enforcement and public officials, (facilitated through the media) for decades.  They spook society into rallying up public support against the over fabricated evil doers of the communities with the fiendish motives to pass biased bills; all the while concealing their hidden agendas.  This ultimately strips minority communities of strong would be leaders, before they could reach a full level of maturity, and complete potential.

Such methods were recently used in Chicago to pass the 2013 Illinois Anti Street Gang (RICO) act. Which punishes more severely any crime deemed gang related.

Let’s say for example, if three 18 year old young men walk into a store together, snatch and run with stolen items-if the prosecutor so chooses, they could all face a mandatory minimum ten year sentence (for being so called gang related alone).  That’s in addition to the penalty for the initial charge.  As always, their every solution to all of our problems is incarceration.

With all the unfavorable labels pinned on Black Folk, when will we ever stop justifying them, and negatively stereotyping each other?

It’s bad enough that we’re subject to a society that largely portrays us in weak, and negative scenarios throughout nearly every television series, and Hollywood movie that airs.  These are the images of us being broadcast through the entire world.  Although conditioned behaviors are extremely difficult to break, we have to at some point, at-least make the effort.  Anything a Black person does that’s negative is usually associated with the entire whole.  Anything we do that is regarded as positive is as an exceptional, individual accomplishment.  When a Caucasian does something negative it’s related to that single individual.  But when they do something positive it’s associated with the entire whole, and regarded as a great contribution to society.  They would have the entire world believe that all White people are the epitome of greatness, and social standard of benevolence, when history, in fact, entails the exact opposite.

THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED WAS TO FOOL THE WORLD INTO BELIEVING THAT HE DOESN’T EXIST; the other was that he MADE HIS WRONGS FAIR SEEMING. what could seem more fair to public perception than taking so called "criminals off the streets, by severe punishment through incarceration; thereby making the streets safer for the public?

We’re in a constant (but non-permanent) state of illusion, and mental confusion; imposed by a world built on wickedness that seems fair.

We’ve been bred and indoctrinated to emulate, and believe that we’re criminals.  Since before our birth we were programmed, and conditioned to conform to this illusion.

Poor people and minorities are in no greater position to be true criminals than we are to be true racists.  That’s by the understanding that true racists, just as true criminals, are usually in high positions of power and authority, with the ability to effect the livelihood of mass groups of people.  Real criminals have always been those who create and dictate laws that label all others (excluding themselves) criminals.  Just as in the days of Chattel slavery, this is the same system that legalized it.

You may have committed a crime, and been deemed an outlaw- but natural born crooks to the core, hide behind, and operate within the boundaries of the law.

Our ancestors went from ex-slaves to ex-felons.  How they kept us in a trick bag has always been through the law.  We were merely given the illusion of freedom.  The reality is that only more Black People were allowed to adopt the mind-set of our oppressors, and participate in the legal enslavement of their own brethren.  We merely got one leg out of physical bondage, and have yet to break the mental shackles that continues to bind us; which is our true revolution.

We can’t continue to overlook the fact that we’re subjected to a society of entitled, over-privileged social classed race/group of people; descendants of people that historically never meant us any good, while we continue being under privileged and disenfranchised.

Wouldn’t it be intelligent to consider it a beastly nature of a people who: kidnapped, beat, raped, tortured, terrorized, and forced Black women to tend to their children (over her own) that he often forced her to bear?  The same beast that beat, tortured, castrated, murdered, and humiliated Black men for centuries, completely erased, and robbed us of all knowledge of self, and our historical past.

Running to such a people for fairness, justice, and equal protection under the law is like the Lamb running to the Wolf for protection from the Lion.

The 13th and 14th amendments outlawed Chattel slavery, but kept enslavement legal through due process of the law, after being duly convicted of a crime.  After the abolishment of slavery, laws were passed to make it easier to convict ex-slaves of crimes, (the same plot and schemes that continue today).  For example, there were vagrancy laws by which Black people were instantly imprisoned if caught on the streets with no money or identification.  There were laws of debt, by which Black Folk were falsely accused of owing money to Whites, and imprisoned for not being able to pay.  Even today poor people are imprisoned for being unable to pay child support; while filing bankruptcy is a strategy people use to get out of debt; and giant corporations use to avoid paying lawsuits.

Slaves never had the right to own guns.  Today’s law enforcement primarily targets Black, and minority communities for criminal arrests and convictions; by which a convicted felon has no rights to legally own firearms.

When the framers of the constitution gave every citizen the right to bear arms, they never stipulated it would only be for sport and play, as today’s government would have us believe.  Their primary objective was for the American citizens to be able to protect their property against any invaders, and to revolt against an overgrown dictatorship-, which this government is ultimately becoming, and has always been for poor, and minority people.

Today the government is vehemently trying to take away every person’s right to bear arms, or minimize their capacity at best.  In Behold a Pale Horse, William Cooper, an Ex-Naval intelligence officer of high ranking - wrote about some of the tactics the government uses to impose their agendas onto the public, and gain the support of The People.  They’ll pass laws that take away more of our constitutional rights - by creating, and capitalizing from fear and panic, through chaos, and tragedy - then step in as the saviors with the only solutions.  I believe this strategy is termed the Hegelian Dialectic or Order out of chaos, which is to: 1.  Create a problem/emergency.  2.  Create a reaction to the problem.  3.  Offer solutions to the problem.

One example would be the September 11th attacks of 2001, where they instantly took away our "rights to
