“There is nothing new under the sun.” — Ecclesiastes 1:9
There is nothing new under the sun. What is now has been done before, ruled by the greed and vanity of man.
In my opinion, many of the systems and institutions created by modern leaders have been designed to control people through power, profit, and influence. Those who govern often create laws against theft, yet some steal from the people. Those who condemn adultery, yet some commit adultery. Those who claim moral authority while participating in the very behaviors they publicly denounce.
Meanwhile, history continues to be rewritten, hidden, sanitized, or ignored.
There is a reason governments and institutions continue efforts that many believe erase history, obscure heritage, and disconnect African Americans from their true lineage and historical identity.
It is time to use wisdom and knowledge to discern.
Images of Christ, Doctrine, and Discernment
This is also why the image of Christ presented by leaders, rulers, institutions, and religious systems must be examined carefully.
For generations, images of Christ have been displayed throughout governments, churches, institutions, and societies, while many people have never been encouraged to compare those images to the descriptions found within scripture and doctrine itself.
In my opinion, this raises important questions.
Why are certain images promoted while biblical descriptions are often overlooked?
Why are people encouraged to accept tradition without examining doctrine for themselves?
Why has so much history surrounding identity, lineage, heritage, captivity, and oppression remained hidden, disputed, or ignored?
Throughout history, rulers and institutions have often used religion as a tool to influence populations, maintain authority, and shape public perception. Yet doctrine repeatedly calls upon believers to seek wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment rather than blindly following the traditions of men.
The contradiction becomes difficult to ignore when institutions display the image of Christ while simultaneously participating in systems of oppression, colonization, slavery, exploitation, mass incarceration, or economic bondage.
How can leaders display Christ while continuing injustice?
How can institutions claim righteousness while profiting from the suffering of others?
How can nations speak of freedom while concealing portions of history from the people?
These are questions every person must answer for themselves.
This is why wisdom and knowledge are essential.
Not political programming.
Not media narratives.
Not institutional traditions.
But discernment.
The name of Christ should never be used to justify greed, oppression, exploitation, deception, or bondage.
Use wisdom and knowledge to discern.
The Modernized System
Many Americans were taught that slavery ended in 1865.
Yet few are encouraged to closely examine the exception clause contained within the 13th Amendment.
The architects of modern criminal justice policies over the last several decades helped create and enforce systems that many believe continue forms of economic and social bondage today.
From Nixon to Reagan.
From Clinton to Obama.
From Trump to Biden.
The names change.
The parties change.
The promises change.
But many Americans believe the system itself remains largely unchanged.
The institutions, corporations, and industries that profit from incarceration continue to generate billions of dollars while communities continue to suffer the consequences.
The companies many Americans support every day may be connected—directly or indirectly—to systems that profit from incarceration, prison labor, or criminal justice expansion.
As you watch the documentary below, pay close attention.
Erasing History Through Narrative
The intent of evil has always been to erase history, create false narratives, and conceal what has existed in plain sight.
Many believe the world has been conditioned to accept modernized forms of slavery while being told they are witnessing freedom.
Leaders on both sides of the political aisle continue creating laws that protect institutions while insulating themselves from accountability.
The formula changes.
The objective remains the same.
Control.
Profit.
Power.
The Crime Bill Era
Pay close attention to the historical record.
Then-Senator Joe Biden was a principal supporter of major crime legislation during the 1980s and 1990s.
Many critics argue these policies disproportionately impacted Black communities while accelerating mass incarceration throughout the United States.
Research the relationships.
Research the legislation.
Research the outcomes.
Research before the records disappear.
Do not allow politicians, media organizations, corporations, or social media platforms to do your thinking for you.
Their objective is often to keep citizens divided against one another while avoiding scrutiny of the actions of those in power.
The Global Conversation on Slavery
Several years ago, Prince Charles publicly expressed sorrow regarding slavery and the role of Britain’s historical involvement.
Watch here:
However, many continue asking important questions:
If there is acknowledgment, where is accountability?
If there is sorrow, where are reparations?
If there is recognition of historical wrongdoing, what responsibility exists for those who profited from it?
The descendants of enslaved people continue to seek answers.
Many institutions continue to benefit from wealth accumulated through centuries of exploitation.
The conversation should not stop at acknowledgement.
Global Greed, Africa, and Hidden Wealth
This conversation is not only about America. It is global.
Research the massive gold discovery reported in Uganda, Africa, valued by some reports at approximately $12.8 trillion. Ask yourself why a discovery of that magnitude did not dominate international headlines for weeks.
Africa has long been one of the most resource-rich continents on Earth, yet throughout history its people have often endured colonization, exploitation, resource extraction, economic manipulation, and foreign control by those seeking access to gold, minerals, oil, labor, and land.
In my opinion, what we are witnessing today is another version of an old formula:
Hide the wealth.
Control the narrative.
Divide the people.
Profit from the resources.
There is nothing new under the sun.
The greed that nations, corporations, and powerful interests have demonstrated toward Africa did not disappear—it modernized.
This is why people must research beyond the headlines, beyond social media algorithms, and beyond carefully managed news cycles. Too often the public is focused on division, controversy, and distraction while larger economic interests operate in the background.
God’s gifts to a people should not become another quiet transfer of wealth to those seeking power and profit.
No amount of money can add a single day to a person’s life.
No amount of censorship can permanently hide truth.
For those willing to seek it, the evidence remains available.
Repent and prepare.
Reference for reflection:
Ezekiel 29:9–21 ESV
Revelation 18 ESV
A Warning About Greed
There is not a politician alive—Republican or Democrat—that I personally trust.
The common denominator throughout history remains greed.
Greed for power.
Greed for money.
Greed for control.
Political parties rise and fall.
Governments change.
Leaders come and go.
Yet greed remains.
In my opinion, elected officials should be required to maintain Political Performance Bonds (PPB) while serving in office so citizens have a mechanism to hold public servants financially accountable for misconduct, corruption, and failures of duty.
The people deserve accountability.
Research Beyond the Headlines
Research the historical collapse of governments.
Research economic interests.
Research who profits from conflict.
Research who profits from incarceration.
Research who profits from division.
Question why certain stories dominate the news cycle while others disappear.
Question why some discussions are amplified while others are censored.
Question everything.
Use wisdom.
Use knowledge.
Discern.
