Revolutionary Visions Wide Opened
By Khalfani Malik Khaldun

The struggles here in Amerika of the 1960s and 1970s sparked the rise of courageous freedom fighters who had a unique view of self-determination which compelled these bold leaders to sacrifice their money, time, and ultimately their lives to aid the cause. That cause was energized by a revolutionary vision of change for all oppressed poor people in this country. These men and women were militant to the core yet lovingly warm-hearted to their families and children.

We must never forget the efforts made to highlight and expose institutional racism, poverty, and violence carried out by the police on the Black communities. They did a lot to educate the masses on capitalism, imperialism, and they fought against all systems that promote inequalities.

Comrades like Sundiata Acoli, Mutulu Shakur, Eddie Conway, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Jalil Muntaquin, and so many others are currently prisoners of war as a direct result of their participation in the cause for the liberation of Black people in Amerika. They are among so many others who had the courage to go up against this vicious system.

J. Edgard Howard, the then head of the FBI, with the power of the office he led, launched his very silent secret war against the Civil Rights Movement and Black Liberation Movement. His agents infiltrated the organizations they felt posed Amerika, and its political machine, its greatest threat. COINTELPRO, the counter-intelligence program, was created to target, identify, and kill or imprison revolutionary leaders.

Now many of our comrades who they didn't outright murder have spent decades in prison. These men and women, now in their late 50s to middle 60s, are model prisoners educating prisoners and advocating on behalf of those voiceless souls who don't know how to speak for themselves. Their friends and supporters and families on the outside continue to campaign and petition of the courts for their release. The Prison Parole Boards simply function as an extension of the courts that play its role in influencing the denial of parole releases.

There are no Americans who don't know the horrors of what has happened to their people from the Turks in the Ottoman Empire. There are no people who have suffered indignity that are not aware of the road that they have had to travel to get where they are. Black and Hispanic communities know this reality all too well.

We acknowledge Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP for the historic landmark decision of Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, which struck down "separate but equal" and said that Blacks were entitled to equal education, but not a segregated one. Fifty years late, there is not such a thing as integrated education anymore.

Political injustice brings its natural response nom atter how long it takes. Injustice has to be answered by justice, and justice demands that what a man sows, he must eventually reap.

There is one case that involves a Black revolutionary named Herman Hooks Wallace, who is a member of the Angola 3 (now 71 years old). He now has advanced liver cancer. Amnesty International called for his release, just as it has been campaigning on behalf of human rights violations inherent in the extended solitary confinement of the Angola 3 comrades, Herman Wallace, Abbot Woodfox, and Robert King. King was released out of the bowls of Angola State Prison almost 13 years ago, on February 8, 2001.

We have multiple victims of this system's all-out attack on revolutionaries inside and outside these prison plantations. The revolutionaries on the inside are living in forced solitary confinement for refusing to be broken or used as agents of the state. You have been my inspiration, in the spirit of George L. Jackson. I salute those of you who have continued to feed the panther and the dragon. Power to the People! Salutations to Abdul O. Shakur, Kevin "Rashid" Johnson, Sitawa Nantambu Jammz, Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, Kenny "Zulu" Witmore, Ed Poindexter, Mondo We Langa, and all the 30,000 comrades who engaged in collective hunger strikes in control units in California and elsewhere.

We cannot relent in the struggle for total liberation. As a revolutionary oriented New Afrikan support of the legacy of Comrades Ajamu Nasser, Comrade Ziyon, and George L. Jackson, I continue to clinch my raised fist in true solidarity with their revolutionary vision. My eyes are wide open. My consciousness is wide open. A luta conitnua1 Dare to strugge, dare to win!

JUSTICE OR ELSE
Help me Save an Innocent Life


“…A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure – cherish it.”
- Sirach 6:14
Imagine someone you love being forced to remain separated from family and friends for 29 years, that he, you, and everybody who love him have pursued every avenue to change his situation. There were people and lawyers who were trusted to help but only abused that trust abandoning the help that had been promised.

Bro. Khalfani Malik Khaldun, a (47)-year old fun-loving strong black man born and raised in Gary, Indiana, who needs your immediate help. He has lost his dear mother, (3) brothers, (2) sisters, and recently his only son since 1997. Bro. Khalfani Malik Khaldun has no employment, or any resources of his own, and early on in his incarceration, Khalfani’s attorneys stole from him and totally turning their backs on him.

Bro. Khalfani was to be united with his loved ones in the year 2000, but the reunion was interfered with and halted abruptly due to evil-minded men intent on having him framed on a charge of murder of a state prison officer inside the Indiana State Prison (ISP) on December 13, 1994.

The ‘elite’ members of the (IDOC) Indiana Department of Corruption put Khalfani in Solitary Confinement where he had no human or physical contact with anyone from December 13, 1994 until November 21, 2014, a total of (20)-years, years of suffering for needless undeserved threats, and harassment by prison officers, who would walk up to his cell encouraging him to just kill himself, they wanted him to commit suicide, as other men had done to escape the psychological torture. Too much exposure to prolonged isolation causes mental deterioration, the easy way out for many has been suicide. Khalfani survived those (20)-years, yet he didn’t emerge out of or leave Solitary Confinement behind unaffected. That gruesome experience coupled with (29)-years of total separation from civil society and his family, has left him battling ‘severe depression’ and has been controlled by regular medication now.

Khalfani is an educator, mentor, and an exemplary ethical and moral man, that’s evidenced by his recently earned certificate for completion and graduation in the (M.R.T.) “Moral Recognition Therapy” Program. He also organized (3) classes and taught them to the General Population at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, and these classes consisted of a Class(1) for “Coping with Grief,” Class(2) was dealing with “Overcoming Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome,” and a Class(3) was on “Understanding Prison Anger-Management.” Khalfani had a job in the Production Kitchen, where he was cooking and enrolled in a “Job Skills Program” called (IN2WORK). He was 1/3rd the way done through this program, when he was removed from both the kitchen job as well as the “Job Skills Program” by “Prisoncrats”

A. The Campaign, with your help and commitment to assist us with e-mail contacts, will create: The Family & Friend’s Campaign to Free Khalfani Emergency Response Team list. Each of you will receive a list that genuinely want to, and have helped the Campaign, the people to be notified and contacted will be on that list; all Campaign Members should establish a regular commu-nication with Khalfani, so that you can know him as we do – this way he will give you a first-hand account of any situation.

Q. Can we visit Khalfani once we join the Campaign or is he limited in who he can see?
A. Khalfani is only allowed 10-15 friends and family included on his approved visiting list. You must be on the list to visit, you will be denied if you are on


another prisoner’s visitation list. If you are approved, you have a choice to travel to the compound to see him, which is what he prefers for those who live close by. But, if you are far away, you may visit (www.jpay.com) and set-up a Jpay account, and you’ll need a web-cam program on your computer and then pay a fee for a video-visit arranged by this facility. They say you can upload a (Jpay ‘mobile-app’), and then receive e-mails, pictures, videograms, from Khalfani and you may send them also in return, once you’ve uploaded the (Jpay ‘mobile-app’) to your phone. Khalfani has to send you a ‘friend request’ via the “Kiosk System” operating here at this compound. This system allows you to visit from the comfort of your very own homes; we encourage you to check this out.

Q. How can we read any or all of Khalfani Malik Khaldun’s earlier writings?
A. You can e-mail twitchon@gmail.com and anthonyrayson@hotmail.com, and request a copy of some of Khalfani’s writings. There will be a (25)-chapter book by him called “Like Father like Son: A Father’s Love and Devotion for his Son.” Some sample electronic files of a few chapters will be shared online. Proceeds collected from the book sales will go to a fund for his son’s children. You may pre-order the book if you want by contacting the 1st e-mail above.

Q. So, time is of the essence for raising money to pay the lawyers for Khalfani to secure a better defense towards his immediate release?
A. Yes, time IS of the essence. We need that money raised as quickly as possible, because as long as he remains in their custody, he will be the subject of terrible conditions and ill treatment, especially poor medical care. Khalfani is battling major depression – we don’t want him suffering any longer or have new problems occur. We are hoping to have a legitimate account set-up for the money to be sent from contributors to

(www.paypal.com) we’ll only have (90) days to raise $20,000.00. Stand with us – and contribute to this worthy cause. For those of you who don’t use credit cards – you can secure a Postal Money Order for “Khalfani’s Defense,” and send it, made out to:

THE CAMPAIGN SHARES SOME POETRY WRITTEN BY KHALFANI:
______________________________________________________

“Making the Impossible Possible”

How can we fight against all the odds –
when our enemies seek our demise with evil eyes –
can we dig deep down inside and not conceal or hide –
the historical Pride and Strength and Blood in our Eye…?

Do we surrender when it seems all hope is gone –
when it seems everyone has left us in here all alone…?

The courts has said you won’t be going home –
do we give up…or hold on or give in to defeat –
do we listen to our spirit’s voice that says –
Brother – you must keep keepin’ on…?

Can we make the Impossible Possible –
by holding our heads up and our chest out –
study hard and trying to figure out a better route –
that will open up those gates so that our bodies,
hearts, souls, and minds will be free –
will you struggle or die for me…?

Do the un-doable and make it happen –
let’s make the Impossible Possible…
Freedom for Khalfani is the reward.

By: Khalfani Malik Khaldun – 1/26/2016

[Poem # 2]

”You Stop Believing in Me”

Never thought it would come to this –
you promised to stand with me when we first kissed –
our love was genuine – a single visit you never missed –
now all I do is think of you as a dream –
as I turn and twist…

You Stop Believing in Me –
has my love in your heart died?
Sorry for any nights I made you hurt or cry –
for each time you thought I misled you or lied –
you were the Love of my Life –
Soulmate of my Heart – Queen my Wife…

You Stop Believing in Me Love –
I knew when it happened ‘cause your visits stopped –
and the large number of your letters to me dropped –
when my words wouldn’t move you to action –
my heart and soul felt the lack of attraction –
what we shared and had it was beautiful –
like strange magic…

Yo stop Believing in Me –
Sweetheart – you said that if we couldn’t be lovers –
that we surely could be true friends –
devoted to being concerned for and about each other’s happiness, care, and well-being…

How did things come to this my dear Love –
our love was our pleasure –
your heart, body, and mind was my protected treasure…?
We can’t let it end this way –
I am your King – I shout out in the dark and say –
as I bow on both knees and prayed –
You Stop Believing in Me…

Dare to stretch your imagination to where beauty is the norm, rather than an ignorant accident stomped upon in the stupor of quick ‘highs’ and lies masquerading as truth.
Dare to be beautiful in your talents, dare to be strong, and a creative-fire and love be courageously yours.
Justice for Khalfani Malik Khaldun of Else – Be Powerful
Power to the People !!
