Crime / Movement Elder, Political Prisoner Mutulu Shakur Finally Granted Parole by solja147(m): 12:53am On Nov 12, 2022 |
Dr. Mututu Shakur, a Black liberation movement elder who’s been incarcerated for more than 36 years, was told Thursday he’s been granted parole for an early release from prison amid declining health. Shakur’s freedom comes after months of organizers and activists demanding Shakur be given a compassionate release as the 72-year-old battles terminal cancer. The Intercept first reported Shakur was being freed. Asha Bandele, a New York Times best-selling author and journalist who has worked on campaigns to free political prisoners since 1990, including Dr. Mutulu Shakur, for whom she also worked briefly as a paralegal, celebrates a day that has been too long in the coming. “There are few men who have done more to negotiate peace and save lives from behind the walls of the most violent prisons in the United States than Mutulu Shakur,” bandele told NewsOne Thursday evening. “Since he was 16 years old, Dr. Shakur has dedicated his life to serving the least of these—people who were poor, people who were Black. People who were addicted to drugs. People who were unnamed in life and would have been unnamed in death were it not for his tireless, revolutionary efforts. My profound gratitude to his comrades, like Sekou Odinga, activists like Monifa Bandele, and Mutulu’s beautiful children, Sekiywa, Mopreme, Nzingha, Chinua, and Ayize here on earth; and his child Tupac Amaru, who is an ancestor. Let the reckoning and healing begin. Free ’em all.” Shakur, the stepfather of the late rapper and actor Tupac Shakur, was convicted for his alleged role in the “expropriation” of $1.6 million from a Brinks armored truck. He was subsequently sentenced to 60 years in prison but became eligible for parole in 2016 after serving 30 years in the federal system. Jomo Muhammad of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement previously told NewsOne that Shakur had been denied parole nine times despite having an essentially infraction-free time in prison. He also explained that Shakur petitioned for compassionate release earlier in the pandemic, given the various health issues and being diagnosed with an advanced stage of terminal bone marrow cancer. But he was denied essentially because a judge did not think his condition was severe enough to justify a release. Another likely reason for the repeated denials of release is that Shakur was very active in the Black Liberation Movement of the late 1960s and 1970s and involved in exposing COINTELPRO, the FBI’s so-called Counter Intelligence Program that surveilled, infiltrated, discredited, and disrupted organizations like the Black Panther Party. Shakur was given six months to live back in May. Now that six months have passed since then, the U.S. Parole Commission apparently finally feels comfortable enough freeing the elderly man. “Mutulu is deeply grateful for the broad expression of trust and support, and thanks everyone who has helped him over the years,” a statement posted to a website devoted to Shakur said in part. “We ask that he have the space and time to be with his family when he is released and to continue receiving medical treatment.” Advocates have been fighting for Shakur’s release for years. In one recent instance, hundreds of faith leaders signed an open letter to officials with the Department of Justice, Bureau of Prison and United States Parole Commission urging the dying elder’s release. “Our request is in no way meant to denigrate the victims’ families or ignore the loss of life,” the letter sent in July read in part. “It is our belief that Mr. Shakur has been more than adequately punished for those acts. The continued incarceration of this terminally ill senior citizen serves no useful purpose as Mr. Shakur represents absolutely no threat to public safety.” And last year, the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement organized a virtual celebration to raise awareness around Shakur’s case as part of broader efforts to free movement elders. “This country is not the same country it was at the time of my conviction and I have lived long enough to understand the changes the country and I have undergone. I will always care about freedom and equality for black Americans, marginalized people and the lower classes in this country and abroad. The struggle was never about me, but for the will of the people,” Shakur wrote in a petition for his release that was signed by nearly 20,000 people. “I cannot undo the violence and tragedy that took place more than thirty years ago. But for several decades while incarcerated I have dedicated myself to being a healer, spreading a message of reconciliation and justice, and playing a positive role in the lives of those I come into contact with, in and out of prison,” Shakur wrote. Shakur is expected to live the remainder of his life with his family in Southern California. “We are relieved that the Parole Commission now recognizes what has long been true — that Dr. Shakur’s release poses no risk whatsoever,” Brad Thomson, an attorney who represents Shakur, told the Intercept. “It is tragic that it took until he was on the verge of death for that truth to finally be realized.” https://newsone.com/4444815/mutulu-shakur-freed/

Family / The Difficulties Of Men Yet Are Less Appreciated by solja147(m): 7:31am On Jan 03, 2022 |
Life doesn't get easier when you get a woman. It gets harder. Honest people know this. Yet one of the most unpopular truths that provokes ridiculous reactions even in men is to say that women drag you down more than they help you. People hate hearing this. Makes them defensive. You get all these nonsense replies like "Maybe you've just met the wrong kind of woman" or "Men and women were made for each other and complement each other equally" Or some other nonsense All total cope, if you think women help men as much as men help them, you're delusional It's the same with kids. Kids make life harder and drag you down as well. In the hierarchy of neediness, men are least needy and children are most - with women in the middle. Needy people make life harder, as they take up time and energy you'd otherwise allocate to building. Does that mean you shouldn't have kids or get a woman? No. These challenges can provide fresh meaning, and produce their own unique spiritual rewards. Just realise every time you get with a woman or have an extra kid, you're increasing the difficulty level of your life. Women are always the ones pushing for more. They want a baby. They want another baby. They want to get married. Why are the women always pushing for these things, rather than the men? Because it's the men who bear the brunt of the increase in difficulty - not the women. Don't get me wrong, a woman who's just had a child has certainly made her life harder. Before nobody relied on her. Now a child relies on her. But for the man, before it was just a woman relying on him, now it's a woman + a child relying on him. He has more people relying on him. An easy life bereft of meaning is not a life worth living - and yet as with all things, difficulty should only rise in line with one's competence. You don't jump straight from beginner to expert. You work your way up slowly. Jumping into the deep end is how you wreck yourself. Bearing all this in mind, you would think the needier sex would be the more grateful one, right? Wrong. It is more common for a man to be deeply thankful just to have any woman, than it is for a woman to be profoundly grateful for the man who cares for her. You will hear "he's lucky to have her" or "I'm lucky to have her" more than "she's lucky to have him" and "I'm lucky to have him" Women are far less modest, yet men are more pathetic. For women are more desperate than men when single, yet less grateful than men when taken. The key to a lasting relationship is a sense of mutual appreciation, irrespective of the disparity in difficulty. If we accept we're a hierarchical species and that gender's a strong delineator of hierarchy, then it's absurd to be upset about "one having it harder than the other" So it's not a matter of fairness in so much as it is a matter of gratitude, and readiness to endure and take on additional burden Man's life is just one unending series of mounting burden, and a man who takes on more burden than he can endure collapses under the weight of it all But given that man's burden is indeed the greatest, for he has not only the children, but the eternal adolescent, the woman to care for - he deserves the deepest gratitude and greatest thanks. Men build great empires and move whole oceans for little more than profound gratitude. In this sense women make men better, not because they are an asset, but because they are a challenge, and, when they are the right kind of challenge - they moralise rather than demoralise. They give him a sense of purpose, even if they slow him down by making his life harder. So you can think of a good woman as a gracious cheerleader. Her beauty both inside and out inspires the man, irrespective of the imposition of her needs. The beauty of her loins and the modesty of her soul transcends the ugliness of her neediness to invigorate him. That is a best case scenario. When such beauty is absent, the partnership loses its wholesome spiritual component and becomes parasitic. The man is demoralised, drained, like an unappreciated slave. He grows resentful, so he begins to crave freedom. He is slowly checking out. A truly wise woman then is not only modest enough to accept the burden she represents - but mindful enough to actively counterbalance it by showering her man in beauty. She realises she keeps a man by showering him in the beauty of gratitude from the depths of her soul. Women who fail to do this & allow themselves to become resentful (whether rightfully or wrongfully) will fail to keep their man in the long run. There has to be some advantage, some reward, some positive for the man. You can't just endlessly mount him with burden with no thanks. This is why narcissism although a terrible ugliness in general, is particularly ugly in woman. Because at least narcissistic men provide. What does an immodest woman have to offer a man at all in any meaningful spiritual sense? She will cause him nothing but pain and problems. All a woman has is her gratitude. She lives + dies by it, because it defines her immaterial beauty. And so modesty for that reason alone is the chief + primary attribute women should cultivate and men should covet. For without it, there can be no permanence, only temporariness. This is why it's important for a man to cultivate a culture of appreciation within his relationship, and to set the pace at which he adopts additional burden. Don't let women pressure you into taking on burdens you're unsuited to, and yet at the same time, do not lead her on. Women feel anxiety about their fleeting fertility, but Rome wasn't built in a day. As such, your timescales are at odds and one party is forced to compromise. The only real solution is to ensure a wider age difference. Older, more established men with younger, unanxious women. #Copied from @tellyoursonthis. 7 Likes 3 Shares |
