So why is this important for black-melanated people? If WE are the most natural beings to the planet, then we are connected the most to the planet. But why are we killing the planet for COMMODITY? FOR PLEASURE? FOR OUR SURVIVAL?
The Creator gave us everything that we needed to sustain ourselves. We are still UNCONCIOUS.
Coltan: What You Should Know
What is Coltan?
Coltan is short for Columbite-tantalite – a black tar-like mineral found in major quantities in the Congo.. The Congo possesses 80 percent of the world’s coltan. When coltan is refined it becomes a heat resistant powder that can hold a high electric charge. The properties of refined coltan is a vital element in creating devices that store energy or capacitors, which are used in a vast array of small electronic devices, especially in mobile phones, laptop computers, pagers, and other electronic devices.
Who are the primary exploiters of Coltan in the Congo?
Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and their proxy militias are the primary exploiters of coltan in the Congo. In an 18 month period Rwanda made $250 million as a result of exploitation of coltan in the Congo. Although Rwanda and Uganda possess little or no coltan, during the period of the war in the Congo, their exports escalated exponentially. For example, Rwanda’s coltan export went from less than 50 tons in 1995 to almost 250 tons in 1998. Zero cassiterite was transported from the Congo to Uganda in 1998, however by 2000 151 drums were transported.
The United Nations notes in its 2001 report on the Illegal Exploitation of Natural Resources in the congo that “The consequences of illegal exploitation has been twofold: (a)massive availability of financial resources for the Rwandan Patriotic Army, and the individual enrichment of top Ugandan military commanders and civilians; (b) the emergence of of illegal networks headed by either top military officers or businessmen.”
Foreign Corporate exploitation
Although the countries mentioned above directly exploit coltan, foreign multi-national corporations have been deeply involved in the exploitation of coltan in the Congo. The coltan mined by rebels and foreign forces is sold to foreign corporations. Although, the United Nations in its reports on the Congo do not directly blame the multi-national corporations for the conflict in the Congo, the United Nations does say that these companies serve as “the engine of the conflict in the DRC.”
Major United States players include:
Cabot Corporation, Boston, MA
OM Group, Cleveland, Ohio
AVX, Myrtle Beach, SC
Eagle Wings Resources International, Ohio
Trinitech International, Ohio
Kemet Electronics Corporation, Greenville, SC
Vishay Sprague. Malvern, PA
Corporations from other countries have been a part of the coltan exploitation chain. These companies include but are not limited to Germany’s HC Starc and EPCOS, China’s Nigncxia, and Belgium’s George Forrest International.
Once the coltan is processed and converted to capacitors, it is then sold to companies such as Nokia, Motorola, Compaq, Alcatel, Dell, Hewlett-Packard , IBM, Lucent, Ericsson and Sony for use in a wide assortment of everyday products ranging from cell phones to computer chips and game consoles.
What are some of the uses of coltan in modern society?
• Laptop computers
• Cellular phones
• Jet engines
• Rockets
• Cutting tools
• Camera lenses
• X-ray film
• Ink jet printers
• Hearing aids
• Pacemakers
• Airbag protection systems
• Ignition and motor control modules, GPS, ABS systems in automobiles
• Game consoles such as playstation, xbox and nintendo
• Video cameras
• Digital still cameras
• Sputtering targets
• Chemical process equipment
• Cathodic protection systems for steel structures such as bridges, water tanks
• Prosthetic devices for humans – hips, plates in the skull, also mesh to repair bone removed after damage by cancer
• Suture clips
• Corrosion resistant fasteners, screws, nuts, bolts
• High temperature furnace parts.
• High temperature alloys for air and land based turbines

From the Melanated Man:
I am at a stage in my re-education that I realize that there is healthy balance that you must maintain to have an inner peace and prosperity. We have to be aware of the things we produce and consume. Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are producers and consumers, all in one. As a producer, we create our own reality the way we see fit or that is best for our livelihood. As a consumer, we consume the things that maintains that reality/livelihood.
“A healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit.”
Matthew 7:17
As a producer, one must be born of some natural knowledge/talent/skill/intuition. As mentioned before, everything that is created comes from WITHIN you. As a consumer, one must take part in things that helps *enhance and mature what is natural within yourself. There must be a healthy *synergy amongst black-melanated people to achieve this. There must be a conducive *mental and spiritual environment available for black-melanated people that can nurture this type of reality. Unfortunately it does not exist.
So what is our mind fixed upon as whole?
Currently we are stuck in the material -realm. Things which have no LIFE (LIGHT) in them. If they do have LIGHT in them, it is *ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
If we are the most natural beings on the planet, then why are we in need of ANYTHING outside of ourselves that has NO LIFE/LIGHT?
We struggle to fit into an existence (*or illusion) that is THE DETREMENT to US:
-*The folly of the European concept of WORK
-*The folly of paying bills and for our PLEASURES/ENJOYMENT
-*The folly of seeking ANY help from a system catered to Caucasians
And much, much, MUCH more!
*Even though there is an importance in having our OWN businesses and industries when it comes to our economic vitality, how is it really benefitting us? We as a people DO NOT understand who we are. The things we THINK that we need we don’t need, such as the *unnatural food we eat, *the entertainment that distracts us, * the medications that kills us ever so peacefully, etc. These things only perpetuate the madness.
If we truly understood how very little we (black-melanated people) needed to survive, our entire thought process would TRANSFORM over night:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Romans 12:2
The Creator gave us everything we needed BEFORE Caucasians decided to tamper with it. We have the capacity to produce/build/create our own world that benefits US in everyway imaginable: physically and *metaphysically. We have placed our trust in a people that has no LIFE/LIGHT.
*THEY HAVE STOLEN THE KNOWLEDGE WE SHARED WITH THEM THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO!!
And they make a buck off the perversion of that knowledge! I can understand how we spend over a $1 trillion dollars in their economy.
We have to be mindful of the things we create, and what we partake in that continues the cycle. We have to examine the current cycle that is keeping us in our comatose state. We MUST exit the material-realm and evolve as a people. Our potential is far greater than what we have been shown by the powers-that-be.
Peace and love to my melanated family,

*Future post
From the Melanated Man:
Refer to previous post: An Introduction to Melanin
So what exactly is melanin? If you had to put a scientific term on melanin, it would be classified as a dark carbon compound, secreted by the pineal gland. The Pineal gland is a small endocrine (hormone system) gland located behind the third ventricle of the brain. The gland is slightly smaller than a green pea and weighs less than two grams. The stimulation of the pineal gland is crucial to the growth of the nervous system’s cerebrum (thinking part of the brain called gray matter) as well as the ability to produce melanin as mentioned before.
What gives the pineal gland the ability to secrete melanin? SUNLIGHT! NOT ARTIFICIAL LIGHT, which at some point, its harmful effects will be discussed at greater depth. The sun radiates the full of spectrum of light to the retina of the eyes, which is connected to the brain, which activates the pineal gland to produce melanin (*Sungazing anyone?) Melanin is then turned into serotonin and melatonin.
*Serotonin– hormone thought to be active in constricting smooth muscles, transmitting impulses between nerve cells, regulating cyclic body processes and CONTRIBUTING TO WELLBEING AND HAPPINESS.
*Melatonin- hormone that is known to regulating your body’s circadian rhythm, along with many other wonderful benefits.
If sunlight is important to melanin production, and black people have the highest concentration of melanin among all types of people on the planet, then what does that say about us?
WE ARE THE MOST NATURAL PEOPLE ON THE PLANET!!!
The amount of sunlight we receive not only as children but as adults is CRUCIAL. You are like a flower or any other green plant, in need of chlorophyll (melanin) to survive. Plants need SUNLIGHT and that’s it. *Same thing with black-melanated people.
But…
We don’t get that much sunlight, especially in this day age and age. We are afraid to get out in the sun, not realizing it is to our benefit. We are too CIVILIZED and MODERN to take advantage of what the Creator has given us. I prefer the term colonization. If you are not familiar with that term, I suggest you do a quick Google search. That word should be in your mental vocabulary. But anyway…
This artificial life is killing us. And when I mean artificial I mean:
-*TV
-*Cell phones
-*Computers (which is killing as I type!)
-*DEAD food (that is processed, refined, DENATURED!)
-*Cars
-*Sunglasses
-*Video games
-*Noise pollution
-*Fluorescent lights
…*And so much more!! (All of your artificial light cause *radiation, which we all know kills you.)
All these things affect your melanin production. We are hit with these devices EVERYDAY. But we are civilized. We have been brought from out of the darkness (dark matter=melanin) into the light (artificial light that is!)
Think about it like this: The gorilla can live more than 200 years in the wild without interruption. Take that same gorilla and place him in a zoo or circus, it maybe lives to 60, but that is a stretch. * Is it possible we can live as long as Methuselah, who lived until the ripe age of 969, in the proper environment?
Damn it, we are trapped in a cage. We are VOLUNTARILY killing ourselves to remain civilized. Only difference in being in actual prison is that prisoners are placed there AGAINST their will. But there’s no difference because I guarantee they get as much sunlight as non-prisoners do, if not more.*
(Hence, besides the fact that of *New Jim Crow prison industrial complex, it makes me wonder that may be the underlying reason why over half of the prison population is black –melanated, and brown skinned. Hmmmm.)
I can go on and on about this. And I will, in future posts. The most important advice you should receive from this post is to get as much sunlight as possible and limit your exposure to the artificial mess to a bare minimum (not at all is asking too much…for now.) And as I end this, I will enjoy myself with my kids outside while we bask in the sunlight, blessed upon us by our Creator. I feel joy just knowing that!
Peace, Love, and Blessings to my Melanated family,
The Melanated Man

From the Melanated Man:
There are some guidelines that we can adhere to when partaking in eating food. It should help those who wish to curb the habit of unhealthy eating. It works for me and hopefully it may benefit you.
Ma’at is the Ancient Egyptian concept of truth, balance, order, law, morality, and justice who is sometimes personified as a goddess regulating the stars, seasons, and the actions of both mortals and the gods that set the order of the universe from chaos at the moment of creation. The concept can be applied to our daily diets so we can regulate and balance our consumption. You should question your emotions and reasons based on the principles of Ma’at:
Truth- Am I really hungry? Am I medicating emotions with junk foods/alcohol? Does my body need nourishment? Am I being a slave to my taste buds? Am I treating food as if it is a “slave” and my eating it as “the slave master?”
Justice- Does my choice of food give nutritional justice to my body or does it nutritionally starve my body?
Righteousness- Is the food good for God’s Temple (my body?) Is there a healthy snack I can eat instead of junk?
Harmony- How does eating junk food serve my body and benefit my wellness?
Balance- Does eating this food maintain my biochemical balance or does it cause a negative drain of energy?
Order- Does the food follow the correct order (amount) of nutrients? (6 grains, 5 fruits or vegetables, 2 proteins-vegetable/meat, 8-10 glasses of water?)
Propriety- Is the food adding to my wellness and helping me to eliminate or decrease my intake of packaged, processed, synthetic foods; dead animal flesh that are cloned, hybridized, with chemical-laced preservatives?
Compassion- Do I accept that my wellness adds to the health of my race and serves Ma’at or do I feel deprived when I do not eat junk foods?
Reciprocity- Am I using food to commit suicide, to punish myself, or to maintain low self-esteem or am I using it to reward myself? Does this food ultimately cause dis-ease or wellness?
Peace and love to my melanated family,
The Melanated Man

Enjoy or Enjoyment:
verb:
By the Melanated Man from the cell phone…
As I type this post, I’m watching this show on OWN called “Welcome to Sweetie Pies” and it caused me to have a thought. I detest the TV these days, but I’m watching it with family who are still unconscious (hate to say that.) But anyway, you may have heard of the show. The show is broadcasted by the Oprah Winfrey Network. Here is a brief synopsis from OWN.com:
Robbie Montgomery was one of the original backup singers for Ike and Tina Turner in the 1960s. After her professional singing career ended, Montgomery — who is known as Miss Robbie — took her mother’s soul-food recipes, which had been passed down through generations, and created Sweetie Pie’s, an iconic St. Louis soul-food restaurant that now has two locations. This docu-series follows Miss Robbie as she prepares to open a third restaurant with the help of her son and business partner, Tim. With all of the business dealings going on, Tim and his girlfriend are busy preparing for their wedding and the birth of their first child. Miss Robbie, who is in her 70s and has never been married, also looks for love.
If I’ve learned anything from the tel-lies-vision (stole that one!) is that it only leads to destroying black-melanated people, aside from the fact the damn thing puts out radiation and artificial light that’s physically killing us.
This show epitomes our struggle with the STANDARD soul food dish, or death food. And our very OWN (no pun intended) capitalizes off it. The *vegetables are overcooked with no life whatsoever. The legalized drug sugar is dumped in the desserts like peach cobbler, sweet potato pie, THE SWEET TEA, etc. And the *meat…well hey! The powers that be are promoting our demise (surprise, surprise!)
You and I have eaten this food most of our life. We know the shit (because that’s what it is) is addicting.
Isn’t Oprah all for her peeps? If you’re reading this blog, you should know the answer to that question.
Happy thoughts to my melanated family,
The Melanated Man
*I haven’t been thorough on why meat (ALL MEAT) and overcooked veggies is so destructive to our bodies but a future post is coming it. Promise!

Every time you purchase mass-produced processed “food” from the likes of Kraft, PepsiCo, or Nestle, you’re choosing, whether you realize it or not, to feed your family not only genetically engineered poisons and chemical additives, but also various flavoring agents manufactured using the tissue of aborted human babies.
It’s true: A company based out of California, known as Senomyx, is in the business of using aborted embryonic cells to test fake flavoring chemicals, both savory and sweet, which are then added to things like soft drinks, candy and cookies. And Senomyx has admittedly partnered with a number of major food manufacturers to lace its cannibalistic additives into all sorts of factory foods scarfed down by millions of American consumers every single day.
Known as “HEK-293,” the aborted human fetal cell line used by Senomyx is manipulated to evaluate how the human palate will react to synthetic flavors used in the production of processed foods. Since most processed foods on the market today are hardly food to begin with, and typically lack any real flavor or appeal on their own, chemical companies like Senomyx are hired to develop artificial ones (which are often deceptively labeled as “natural flavors”) in order to make them taste like real food.
But because these ingredients can be legally disguised with vague descriptors like “artificial flavors” and even “natural flavors,” most consumers have no idea that these additives, in some cases, are actually made using the cell tissue of unborn babies that were murdered through abortion. It’s sickening but true, and people must learn the truth in order to avoid partaking in what EndAllDisease.com says amounts to a satanic ritual.
“What they don’t tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 — human embryonic kidney cells taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors,” Debi Vinnedge of the pro-life group Children of God for Life said about the ugly truth of the flavoring chemical industry. “They could have easily chosen animal, insect, or other morally obtained human cells expressing the G protein for taste receptors.”
Processed food isn’t the only hidden source of additives made using aborted human fetal tissue — many so-called “beauty products” and vaccines are also loaded with aborted baby tissue-derived additives. According to EndAllDisease.com, Neocutis “beauty” products and anti-wrinkle creams are made from aborted male baby cells collected after a 14-week gestation period.
Many vaccines, including Merck & Co.’s MMR II vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, as well as ProQuad (Merck), Varivax (Merck), Pentacel (Sanofi Pasteur) and Havrix (GlaxoSmithKline), also contain derivatives of aborted human babies.
The following list outlines processed “food” products, vaccines and “beauty products” known to contain ingredients derived from aborted human babies (and there are likely many more; your best bet is to avoid all processed foods in general):
