I gazed upon the Nation and was struck dumb by it's beauty,
Struck blind by it's intellect,.. left struck by the totality of all that is ALKQN.
Since then shades of ALKQN dance constantly through my thoughts, through my soul. Attracting me to
distraction. OUR FREEDOM, our pulsing Latin independent rhythmic salsa loving caramel asses gyrating..,
pulls my soul out of my self. Moves me with love to change existence.
We live on a precipice with CATS!! Snarling, sensuous...strong! We lift our arms merely to stretch into this
existence and the universe falls prey. Our claw marks left on this worlds skin leaves it bleeding droplets on
our catlike tongues.
The LION inside me roars and I wish to know more of this nation...intimately know it's essence on my skin,
Taste it's lips of a hundred names beautiful, feel it's pulses run through me like a freight train, or a rhythmic
salsa drum beating a riot in my blood, a tingling under my skin that I cant reach to scratch. A musical
composition I cant help but lose myself in.
ALKQN is the SONG I just gotta sing. It is my every moment in everyday! The beauty that glows from
within ALKQN is so rare and wondrous; it almost brings me to tears to see that it exists. It's like a Unicorn,
or a yellow diamond. Fable, Myth, magical and more.
If I could I would serenade it's every moment. Write a musical composition so heart-wrenchingly sweet to
accompany our every movement and serve as our theme song. I would sing so softly an everlasting song to
kiss our eyes as we wake, and be our lullaby as we sleep.
For we are KINGS OF THIS WORLD!!! We are Sudden Stars Blazing, you and I, shooting thru the sky, not
caring that we may burn out, only wanting to burn brightest so that our passage will be remembered by those
we chose to stand beside, Knowing that our sons and daughters will take up the call, will Blaze bright with
the latin PRIDE that we instill in them. Knowing that they too will heed the call in their blood, and will
answer...
AMOR DE REY!!!
Almighty King Poet -
STILL REPPIN '1st Division Lion Tribe',
But always a NATION MAN UNDER THE SUN!!!
Ever since I was old enough to read a book I was told to never judge a book by its cover. For Ill never know how good
the book could be, unless I read what it contains within. This has to be one of the wisest sayings, here in America,
today. The true meaning of this concept is not to judge or stereotype anything you dont know. About ninety eight
percent of Americans agree to this synopsis and say they apply this concept to their lives. To be completely honest,
only forty eight percent of Americans truly apply to this concept. A poll conducted with over one hundred ninety
Americans stated they agree with and apply to this concept, but when asked about different events that occurred in
America they failed to back their previous statement.
Americans try so hard to paint the perfect pictures of how we as a people should live our life. And once you are painted
as something different, you are targeted for life. One thing Ive been working to implement into societies mind is that the
Almighty Latin King Queen Nation is not what the government painted us to be. We are not, nor will ever be a gang. A
serious threat to society. These titles are placed on us by this imperialistic system we live in. “Why?” you ask. Maybe
its because they fear the fact of one united Latin Nation. Maybe its because we fight for our rights and freedom. As
Americans call ourselves patriots for we fight for our will to be free, then why cant we fight for our rights and freedom?
George Washington was our first president, but what do we know about his background? We know he colonialized the
states and we know he fought off the British. Now we also know he was a lawbreaker in his home country. Still, in
history books, hell be remembered as an honorable patriot for fighting to free Americans. Maybe its because were
fighting the oppressed state of mind. For control is power. So if this government can control our lives, then they remain
sovereign over us. But what about our freedom? Doesnt the truth of this land apply to us too?
Even in America today, we the Almighty Latin King Queen Nation have accusations upon us. Now Im not saying the
Almighty Latin King Queen Nation is a saint. For then I, myself, am a hypocrite. But just because ten percent of our
members decide to do illegal acts, does that necessarily mean that were all bad people? Definitely not! That means
over ninety thousand of us try to uplift our heritage and give back to our communities.
My question is, Why dont Americans read the pages within our book? In the newspaper, I read that federal authorities
have accused fourteen police officers for corruption and cover ups. That the police abuse was overlooked by the
department. Now does this mean that the police department should be targeted because fourteen officers neglected
their duty clearly not right? Then why are we targeted? What about the Catholic Church? Should we hold the church
responsible because Rev. John Geogham sexually abused over one hundred thirty children? No! Im always told by
state and federal authorities that I shouldnt be around the Almighty Latin King Queen Nation because one bad spoils
the bunch. So should this very statement be applied to all law enforcement departments, to all denominations and
court systems? No, Right? Then you make anymore accusations or assumptions. Dont judge a book by its cover.
A Call To Arms
By
Almighty Latin King Wonka
Looking around at everything that is happening in this world, one can't help but wonder what the heck is going on. Questions arise with regards to the reason for all of
the death, disaster and destruction that we are witnessing on a greater and greater level day after day. “Why is this happening?” “What can we do to stop all of this
madness?” Questions such as these flood our thoughts constantly now Questions such as these flood our thoughts constantly now.
We look at our television screens and instead of it being the box that brought entertainment into our lives, it is now the “box of doom”.
What is our role as Kings/Queens in this day and age? What is our responsibility as followers of Yahweh? What is our duty as Nation Men/Women truly living the
third stage of our way of life? First of all, we must realize that there are forces at work that are greater than we imagine. As followers of Yahweh we must stop trying to
shape His word to us into whatever is convenient for us. In other words…His Word is clear. We have to stop trying to make it say what WE want it to say. When a
person has an addiction and feels they cannot do anything else but feed that addiction or a problem and they feel that there is only a certain way to solve that problem,
they will find someone to talk to that will agree with them. If they go to one person and that person disagrees with them, they will go on to the next. If that next
individual disagrees with them then they will continue to go from person to person until they come upon one person that will state, “You are right. You have the right
answer.” This is the same thing that is going on right now concerning our way of life. Kingism requires a strict manner of living. It is clear in the fact that it is a life
of service, a life that constantly makes us strive towards achieving righteousness, a life devoted to finding and following Yahweh. Yet many of us fail to see that it is
the lack of the full application of this that has created the world that we live in today. It is our responsibility to inform the world of what it is doing to continue the
downward spiral. We have to announce clearly and in great volume that we have found a light in the midst of all this darkness. The source of light that has been given
to us comes in the form of two written works. One is what is commonly known as “The Bible” (derived from the word biblion meaning “roll” or “book”). The other is
our beloved King Manifesto/Constitution (KM/C).
Many of us feel that we cannot declare the words and teachings due to the fact that because we ourselves are not perfect, how can we attempt to tell others about the
importance of living righteously. My reply to this is the following: Whether you personally apply the truth or not is irrelevant. The fact is that the truth is the truth and if
you know it then you now have the responsibility of informing others of it. Waiting until “the right time or the right situation” in order to preach the truth is unrealistic.
Waiting until you get yourself to a perfect state of being so you can share the word of righteousness is waiting for the unattainable. The truth is a key to the door of
freedom and if you hold that key then you cannot selfishly keep it to yourself until all is right. In sharing the truth, you will develop a desire to apply it. In applying it,
you live as an example to others. In living as an example to others, you are sharing the truth. Thus it comes around full circle. A full circle has 360 degrees. 360
degrees equal STRONG KING/QUEEN WISDOM.
A Call To Arms
We as a people have failed to fully follow the teachings of Yahweh and have taken the wisdom in the KM/C for granted. We use what is convenient and push aside
that which is too difficult to apply or that which impedes us from doing those things that we want to do (although we are fully aware that they are not righteous). In
Deuteronomy 28, our Almighty Father stated clearly, through His servant Moses, what the benefits of fully obeying Yahweh and carefully following all His commands.
He also clearly stated what the consequences will be if you don't. Many of these things have already come to pass and they will continue as long as disobedience
remains. Now, it is important that you understand that to sincerely try to obey yet fail is not the same as to disobey. Trying demonstrates a sincere desire to accomplish
something. It is important that you continue trying, even if you fail repeatedly, because eventually success will come. However to simply decide, “I can't do this” and
not even attempt to do what you know is righteous is disobedience. Many may call it “being truthful to oneself” while others may call it “keeping it real”. Then you
must also “be truthful to yourself” about the consequences of your decision and you must “keep it real” and acknowledge that there will be a price to pay for your
choice.
Beloved Brothers and Sisters, lovers and followers of this beloved family and tribe, sons and daughters of Yahweh, who is the Almighty Father, King of Kings, Maker
of the universe and Foundation of Life, you have accepted a great responsibility. The moment you chose to accept the doctrine of Kingism you accepted to serve the
Almighty Latin King/Queen Nation. In order to do this, you must serve Yahweh. In order to serve Yahweh, you must surrender your will and do His. What is His
will? That none should perish. He has demonstrated extreme patience, limitless mercy and unfailing understanding and continues to do so simply because He wants to
give each and every one of us the opportunity to secure our place. We as Kings/Queen know this. For it is why we acknowledge a divine mission and why we state that
“We pledge ourselves ever faithful to this mission” (King Manifesto-King and Queens Prayer).
We have been given this mission to preach truth, represent righteousness and illuminate the darkness with what has been revealed to us. This mission was first given to
Abram (which means exalted father), whom Yahweh later renamed Abraham (father of many). The mission then continued down through the lineage of the patriarchs
to the members of the Tribe of Judah. Out of the Tribe of Judah came one who had also been given a divine mission. This mission began with a descent from the
divine to the earthly. A Heavenly Son had to accept when His Father gave Him the command to become an earthly Son in order to open the door for all to be saved
from the consequences of their actions. Yahweh had limited direct access to Him to a certain line of priests. Through Yeshua (which means “Yahweh saves”) that
access was made available to us because of the sacrifice that He accepted to make. His acceptance of having to be brought into this world in the manner of man, living
the life that man lives on this earth and then finally growing into a man and fulfilling that which He was sent here to do opened up the Holy of Holies so that we may
have direct access to Yahweh, the Father (Luke 23:44-46). This brought forth our standing as a ROYAL priesthood with the mission of preaching the truth that has
been given to us (1st Peter 2:9-10). So, it is through Yeshua that we have been given this divine mission by Yahweh. Thus in serving the Nation it is necessary to
accept the sacrifice that Yeshua made on our behalf in order to accept that it was the plan of Yahweh for us in order for us to be able to do His will which would mean
we are serving Him which would be accomplished through service to others through the Nation which is actually the objective of “serving the Nation”.
Beloved of Yahweh, followers and lovers of this beloved family and tribe…This is a call to arms
(Ephesians 6:10-18)
May Yahweh, Yeshua and the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Father continuously bless, protect and guide each and every one
of you in all each of you say and do.
In service,

In 1985 the dynamics of “gangs” in the city of Chicago were really really interesting because in reality as an organization a lot of them were only 5, 5 to maybe 8 years
at the most being completely oriented somewhere. And what I mean by that is literature, by-laws, code of conduct, purpose, points, that type of thing. So people were
still trying to feel each other out, trying to figure out what was going to work what way. Around that time the Folk Nation, (which is comprised of Latin Disciples,
Spanish Cobras, Two Six, and a variety of other gangs) had a little problem between Latin Disciples and the Spanish Cobras and from there it's been hell ever since.
They fight amongst themselves. On the People side, you had Latin Kings, the Black Peacestones, Vice Lords, 4 Corner Hustlers, Familia Stones which used to be PR
Stones, and variety of other people. Now Latin Kings left the People Nation. Because there could be People and there could be Folks but we're gonna be Latin Kings
plain and simple. The reason behind that, which is probably the smartest move that we as a group decided, was because the Vice Lords got into some trouble and it was
mandatory that everybody under that flag had to ride with them and fight against whoever they were fighting against. So the Vice Lords lost somebody to the Gangster
Disciples and we had nothing to do with it, we don't even have Gangster Disciples around us, we had to go at it with them because of our nationship. So we decided to
leave that and said you know what we're losing guys based on you guys fucking up, and we aren't doing it no more, and we left. It was a hard move. Lots of people died
for it and lots of people purposely went to jail, to the penitentiary, caught a year maybe two years in the penitentiary, to make the transition. So that People understood
that the Latin Kings will not ride under one umbrella. Since then we've grown to about double our size, only because People have been able to see that. Don't agree with
me? We all have our opinions and we all have our perspective of life. If you choose not to listen and not to agree with what I'm saying, there isn't a wrong with that. But
remember, the only road to wisdom is by listening and by accepting what other people have lived. And there's a lot of that going around right now because of
September 11th. All of the sudden we'r e interested in Islam, in Muslims, and we have to learn that tolerance, and this is somewhat of the same thing. Because we are a
population that society doesn't give a shit about. I could get shot in the middle of the street and if people turned around and said oh he's a gang member, aw fuck him, he
deserved it, he had it coming. Our society as a whole has chosen to throw away hundreds of thousands of youth. Literally just throw them away. Because of an
affiliation. Why do gangs exist? They blame Latinos and Blacks for gang violence in America when in fact the worst occurrence of gang violence that took place in this
country was in New York around the 1880's, 1890's. And it was between an Irish and Jewish gang. 100 people died. Men, women, children, police officers, everybody.
Anybody that got caught in Central Park that day died. That was the worst case of gang violence that has ever been reported in this country. So when you think about
that you're like man, this was before the turn of the century, how much further back does it really go. And the basis of gangs is the basis of poverty and racism. When
you have poverty and racism, inequality, lack of a stable economic base in the community, you're going to have what they consider gangs whether you like it or not.
Nowadays they just so happen to be black and latinos. Why? Because we're the ones that have the lack of economics in our community. . Some people say you know
pull yourself up by your own bootstraps right and we always say, well what if we don't have boots. Then what? And there's never a response to that. I'm not here to
justify anything that has happened because yeah there are bad people in the LKN. There are people that kill, there are people that sell drugs, that's without a doubt. I
always tell my guys and guys from other organizations. If you get caught for doing something, don't come asking for help unless they're trying to add on some shit to
you. If you got caught for murder, do the time man. There's nothing I can do about that. What do you want me to do? Pull out 30, 40000 dollars and get you off the
hook? You got caught with the guns in your hand and they can verify that you did it;, what you want me to do? Some guys will say, no you got to get me out, at least
help me get out of the country, go somewhere, do something. You know. That does happen and I'm not going to deny it but guess what?? It happens in the police
department and it happens in our government. Local, state, county and federal government. Same thing happens. It's just that we're looked upon as the bad people
because when you walk outside your house you see it. You can't walk into a police station and see that. You can't walk into the Capitol. It's all done behind closed
doors. A lot of our leaders that exist now are very aware of all the bullshit that's going on. How many people know what Cointelpro is? Very very important in the
history of gangs counter intelligence that's what that is. What they did in Latin America. Well here they made it smaller and brought it into the inner cities, to attack the
Black Panther party, to attack Young Lords and a variety of other organizations out there, even the Brown Berets. And it's a conspiracy and I know people that are leery
about conspiracy theories. Yeah. And it's something that just had it's rebirth at September 11th you know. The anti-terrorism law is a horrible horrible law. I mean, I
understand what they'r e trying to do, how they are trying to look at people, but you know, it's 300, like 375 pages long. In page 212 you'll find something that you'r e like
holy shit you're kidding. In Vieques, do people know Vieques, Puerto Rico, the whole thing about you know the bombing and the shelling over there? Well within that
document they're saying that if somebody we're to grab a pair of scissors and snip that bomb wire from the US military base, they will consider that an act of terrorism.
Okay. Why is it that people that are trying to fight for survival are being targeted as terrorists and bad people?
Then at the end of it, it says see also Al Capone and John Dillinger. Webster's New World Dictionary again 1990. New definition was just cut. Says gangs: a group of
people working or acting together. Specifically a group of criminals or juvenille delinquents. That's it. From 1959 to 1990, that definition went like this. From a much
longer paragraph to one sentence: bam. Why is that? Why is it that in 1980, especially 1980, the definition changed? Here in the United States we had the FALN that
came up the Puerto Rican Liberation there is a lot of bonds being formed at that time. The Latin Kings were associates of the FALN to some extent. As soon as they
started talking about bombings, then I just took us out of the whole scene and away from them completely. Why did the FALN and the Latin Kings have animosity
against each other? It was because when the FALN said hey we got these bombs and we want to do something, Latin Kings said no thank you and backed away. The
reason we pulled away was because the Latin Kings would not exist today if we took part in it. This is true. Cause if you look at the people from the FALN, Clinton
before he left office, released about 11 of them you know. And it's true the FALN does not exist today. You know it exists in intellectual minds but it does not exist as
an organization because of Cointtelpro, because of the Red Squad. Does anybody know what the Red Squad is? Red Squad. <chuckle> No, well. The Red Squad was a
group of Chicago Police Officers and FBI agents and their sole purpose was to infiltrate and corrupt organizations. That's how Fred Hampton died, because of the Red
Squad. That's why the Young Lords got disbanded because of the Red Squad. You see Chicago's not only the School of Architecture and the School of Organizing but
also the School of Corruption. That's the one part that nobody wants to talk about. Mayor Richard J Daley, I call him Papa Daley for fun. He was part of an Irish gang
growing up. And he learned politics in the City of Chicago could only be handled one way with intimidation. That's the only way politics are going to succeed. Bill
Clinton when he ran for office, and when Al Gore was talking about running for office. Who do you think they called first? The Sonny, Richard M Daley, hey you know
kind of like asking what they should do, and what do you think? The vice president of the United States and the President of the United States had to call the Mayor of
the city of Chicago to ask. Why? Because in this city a lot of things happen that you guys don't know about. Why do I know about it? Because gangs play a part in it.
We have somebody that's running for governor for this state on the Democratic setting. He so happens to be the son-in-law of an alderman on the northwest side of
Chicago. Well that alderman is very deeply involved with the Latin Disciples. That's the only reason this governor, democratic nominee governor, has made it to where
he's landed. Because he's had unlimited funds by the street and drug dealers supplying that money, okay? The problem I have with that is that, if you put your face on
TV and talk shit and go back and do this, then you know what you're part of this gang and whatever happens to you oh fucking well. I'll tell you something, all of us on
this side of the fence, we want shit to stop. We wish we didn't have to go through what we had to go through. We tired of burying people. Is it in our hands? No it's not.
Because we've seen and we've done it many times. We reduce the violence and we reduce all the graffiti and when we stop everything and we stop drug dealers from
selling, we still go to jail. It continues to happen. Why? Because of the Red Squad. The Red Squad supposedly officially ended in 1976, it came out in the newspaper.
You know everybody said hey it's over it's not happening again. In 1996 it came out in the newspaper in the Chicago Tribune that it really ended in 1983. Then another
report came out not too long ago saying well we think it still might be active but in a minimal way. I have at least 3 or 4 close relatives, two of them that are in jail for
no reason. I mean they're not there because they did something but because they were set up. One guy in particular, someone you ALL know he had just got out. He
had been in jail for 20 some odd years. He did his time. And he told me, I do not want to be around anybody on any bullshit. I don't want to deal with anything. I just
want to get a job, do my thing, and go home. Cause I can't violate my parole anymore. He was doing pretty well for about 6 months. Got a job at a shop. Working hard.
Working 10 12 hours a day. The FBI , they don't want gang leaders out on the street, the mythical ones like this guy at least. You know they don't want them out there
because they'r e afraid that we're going to be glorifying him like him personally like wow he can do a lot of things. So it's the whole chopping the head off. So what did
the FBI do? They broke into this shop in the middle of the night, planted about 15 bricks of cocaine, and broke out of the place, sat on the place until the morning came.
Morning came and he's walking in, it so happened the guy that they're using as an informant (now he's traveling the country as an informant, getting a lot of people in
trouble) decides to cool by this guy's house and say, hey I was just driving, you want a ride to work? He didn't think anything of it. Hey now bro let's go it's all right.
You want some coffee? Yeah sure. They walk in and they sit down. Two seconds later, hey got you! Okay for what? Well you just sit right there. FBI did it's run
through the little maze. They get to the back and say oh look at this cocaine! You're in trouble mister. Trouble for what? For attempted distribution of product,
controlled substance. What are you talking about? They're like oh don't play stupid we know you placed that back there. Placed what? So they took him over there,
made him lift the rag or whatever that was over it, and said you see? He showed us where it was at. They wanted to give him life. For nothing. Luckily enough the
federal defender, public defender, knew it was bullshit because he had noticed that when they brought out the drugs, he realized it was tagged by the DEA. He didn't
say anything. He went back and your honor you know I want the prosecution to talk a little bit more about these drugs and how they were confiscated. Well the Federal
Buerau of Investigation and some Chicago Police Officers blah blah. Okay okay. Was the DEA involved at any time? No why? You know the FBI took care of it. So it
never left your hands? Never. So why does it say DEA, a sticker that says DEA behind this? Uhhh…. So happened that there was a drug lord down about maybe three
or four other courtrooms down that they were having a case where the drug that the DEA caught him with and they were just borrowing it right out for a minute. Killed
two birds with one stone. You know. You tell me if you wouldn't be pissed off. Going to jail. After you just finished doing 25 years. Tell me you're not. And when
people find out people get more upset.
You walk into a community and there is nothing in these communities. If you look at Humboldt Park, you've got two side ends divided by Sacramento, Sacramento and
Humboldt Boulevard. The east side of Humboldt Park is primarily Latin Folks, Latin Disciples, the Spanish Cobras, Dragons, Gents, and I don't know who else is over
there. They all grew up, same bush there. On the west side of it, it's us, all Latin Kings. When people talk about west Humboldt Park and they'll show you map and
they'll say oh the west Humboldt Park area, they'll skip over the Latin Kings territory, which is Kedzie, between Kedzie and Central Park, Grand and Arlington St. And
they'll skip over it and they'll say over here in west Humboldt Park, well what are we? You know? In that area you cannot build anything that requires a building permit
without alderman Billy Ocasio signing off on it personally. Why did he do that? Because a lot of the older guys that were trying to get out of all this bullshit were trying
to open up businesses. Legitimate businesses. Was it drug money? Yeah. So fucking what? So's Merchandise Mart. Merchandise Mart was built on the Kennedy's
money from bootlegging. That's why the Merchandise Mart lives. But does anybody say anything no because now we can drink liquor and all get drunk and be happy
about it. So while these guys were trying to build something. Billy Ocasio and Luis Guttierez noticed that. And mind you the reason they don't like us is because one of
them used to be a Latin Disciple and the other one used to be a Gent. So they used to be Folks and they still have animosity against Latin Kings years and years after.
But when they need to get elected who do they come to? They come to the Latin Kings because they need this little area to vote from. We help em out in exchange for
jobs. And those are the back street politics that are played in this city. Everywhere. Right now I can guarantee, I could almost put my life on it that there's some
politician or commissioner somewhere making a deal that if everybody found out about it, it'd be over. It'd be the end of their career. Right now as we speak. And at the
same time there might be someone getting shot, stabbed, jumped or involved in a gang fight. How is it that all this exists? Why is it that it clearly exists? And I go back
to talking about the racism and the poverty within this city. It's a plan that was developed. They thought about it and they said how are we going to get people, we got to
migrate people out of certain areas, and that helped create a lot of the situation that exists today.
The Latin Kings were a small organization when we first started and there were nothing but street gangs in the city of Chicago in the 1950's but people only concentrate
about the blacks and the Latinos because it was during the civil rights movement and that's the focus. . But at the same time there were a lot of Polish gangs, and
Jewish gangs. A variety, a variety of gangs all over the city. The difference is that the Caucasian groups of the gangs were already set on the track of being politicians,
commissioners, police officers and everything. We were set on a track of poverty. We're not going to get all this shit. The Humboldt Park community used to be a very
strong and thriving Jewish community. It had maybe about 75 Jewish temples in the Humboldt Park community. You walk into Humboldt Park now and you won't find
one at all. Because when the Latinos were moved out of Lincoln Park into Humboldt Park the Jewish community says hang on, what the fuck just happened. You
know? The African Americans were trailing right behind us, a little bit further south.
Jewish community said fuck this, knock the buildings down, we're leaving. And they left. 50000 people left in one year alone and started Sagonash Village up on the
north side where it's Bill Daley lives. That's Peterson and roughly between Pulaski and Cicero. So they and that community had already existed but they came and they
said let's build. You know? So the economics were yanked out of this community. Grocery stores, gas stations, everything you need to live on a daily basis was yanked.
Imagine living in a neighborhood where you can't buy groceries. Jump in the car, drive, like you in the suburbs. When you are in the dead center of the city. And then at
that which grocery store you had to go to. CertaSavers fuck, here's the red carpet come on in. Aldy come on in. you know. So when you put all these things together you
create an environment that just breeds a lot of hatred and a lot of anger and that's where we'r e at today. You've got a bunch of pissed off people that don't appreciate
what's been done to them. Can we take responsibility for what we do? Of course. I make them do it every day. I take responsibility for the dumb shit that I do. Because I
sometimes get off the wagon and say man fuck him, you know? I don't try to kill nobody. But I stop halfway and say you know I can't hurt that brother. I can't. You
know I can't. Cause then I'm going against what I'm about. But the feeling and the anger's still there. Within myself. What's the process of moving out of this? That's
something this country's not willing to do. Plain and simple. They're not willing to do it. We're all Americans at September 11th . And I'v e been told don't apply here. So
that's where I'm at. Now they're denying me a chance at freedom, a chance at life. Because I'm Latin King. Because I speak my mind. Because people I've never met
use my name freely as if we came up together.
Heres something you might not know, when you get that AOL and Microsoft little cd's in the mail, who do you think packaged them? Prisoners. All over the country.
Cause Bill Gates said one day, he said you know, it'd be great to send every home in America a cd. That's a fucking great idea. And they looked at the numbers they
said eh we can't. We can't build a plant just to send cd's out. And what, and hopefully they'll sign on. Federal government said you know we only have to pay our
prisoners 4 cents on the hour, you build the plant we'll provide the workers. Oh okay. So every time you grab it just know that it's been in the hands of a convicted
criminal. Okay? And that's how this country works and that's our policy. Do I love this country yes. Do I pledge of allegience? No I will not. Will I fight for this
country? Not unless we'r e invaded. Because my castle isn't getting blown up by nobody.
I choose not to have the brother print my name with this because I want you all who take the time to read this to learn from it for it's content and what lessons from our
past it can offer, not because of a by line. Those who know me will know who it was that wrote this, those that do not I sincerely hope that you take my words to heart
and by knowing our history be better prepared for our future, wherever it may lead us.
A Wake Up Call
Brothers and Sisters before I begin this epistle allow me to open it by extending our sacred National Salute and proclaiming my willingness to die for
you all, for you are all flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood. May you all be well and in the best of health, and may you all enjoy the forthcoming
holiday season with your loved ones.
Unfortunately however, my words today will not be pretty. This is because our reality and the current state of our Nation is not pretty. I have always
been a man and a King who pulls no punches and tells it as it s regardless of what hurt feelings it may bring and what the consequences, and in this
article I will not deviate from this. I have entitled this article “A Wake Up Call” for good reason. Because 90% of us seriously need to wake from our
sleep and understand what is happening around us and what has become of our once grandiose Nation while we slept. I include myself in this because
for some time I too chose not see it, but the fact is we must now all acknowledge it or be consumed by it. As I write this I have literally dozens of issues
at hand that require my attention urgently. All are pressing issues that have been and continue to cause confusion and dissent within our
congregation's walls. Now while it is fair to say that this is not an unusual or unforeseeable situation for any of our Nation's teachers or leaders, what
saddens me is that all the issues and all the drama I am today faced with overcoming are from within. What is stopping us as a Nation from
Nationwide networking and unification? WE ARE… We have internal quarrels, animosity, grudges, and brothers vying for positions of rank. We have
individuals who put their own misguided quest for power above the interests of our Nation and in doing so have caused great turmoil and strife within
our walls. We have brothers arguing over who holds what and why they should replace the next man for certain responsibilities. We have brothers
forming separatist factions and in every way disregarding our Nation's Laws. What's sad is that though there are a percentage of demagogues whose
agenda consist only of placing themselves in a position of “power”, 90% of those involved in the internal disputes and conflicts are not bad Kings and
truly do love the Nation with all theirs hearts. We need to concentrate on reorganization and reconstruction, unification and progress for the A.L.K.N.
as a WHOLE. Fuck states, fuck chapters, and fuck boundaries & borders. As our King Manifesto says, there are no horizons between borders, and we
are all part of one nation…. “Natural Allies Together In One Nucleus” Forget being a whole state or a whole chapter,. If Kingsm is to survive the trials
ahead we need to be a whole NATION… To all who truly seek to uplift the A.L.K.N. and bring forth a change in thinking, and who realize that
reaching our goals is possible only through unity and uniformity I say: WORK WITH US… We have so many intellectually ingenious brothers and
innumerable with unlimited leadership potential, what holds us back is that for so long we have all been accustomed to leading, building and moving
on our own within our own respective states, chapters and sets. Can you imagine brothers and sisters if all the talent, potential, capability and intellect
of those whom are currently at opposite ends of the stick were to be combined as one force for the good of the whole? If all were to unite and focus on
progress for the whole rather than power and recognition for each individual?
A Wake Up Call
I have said it many a time and I will say it again, Fuck rank and Fuck power. I was chosen to and have led the Ma. State Chapter for 7 years and in
that time never once have I seen my responsibility as power or rank, I have always and continue to see it only as a responsibility, an obligation to
perform and an opportunity to use my mind and ability to better our Nation. Those who know me know that if someone who were better able to do the
job than I surfaced I would be the first to step back and ask that brother to step up and take us to the next level. This is FACT and I have done it before
as many well know. Those who view their “rank” within the Nation as ANYHING other than a means to serve our people and a responsibility should
be shunned and as our King Manifesto teaches “Cast away before the seed of such evil thought……” Those who promote confusion and disorder
within the walls of our castle need to be exposed and exiled. Yes I am talking about a certain few, specific individuals, and those individuals know who
they are for they know their actions are contrary to our Nation and it's laws. If you are reading this and you happen to be one such snake, FUCK YOU.
The only word beginning with K that suits you is Kunt cause you sure are not worthy of the title King. To all of our brothers and sisters Nationwide, all
those holy and righteous lovers and followers of our beloved family and tribe, all those whose love and willingness to sacrifice for our Nation knows
no limits, all those who, like me, get a shiver when you salute another brother out of the ingrained awe for the beautiful Nation we have been chosen to
be a part of, to you I say WAKE UP! See what is happening to us and our Nation. Each and every member through our combined allegiance and
dedication is the core of this Nation and only through unification will we survive the many obstacles that lie in wait for us. I encourage all who read
this to take these words seriously and take time to contemplate them. Those who seek power, recognition and to transform our Nation to a gang are
relentless in their efforts and as Kings and Queens it is OUR job to line up behind Las Coronas, unite and build a foundation hat encompasses our
entire Nation, not just one state or chapter.
As always, my eternal love and respect to one and all under the Black and Gold Flag,
A Warrior's Embrace,
King X
K. BamBam wishes to send his love & respect to K.G. , Chico, and Mary. Hopefully through this publication his words will reach
