No Elections without justice

The next week might turn out to be the most pivotal week since the Second European War. That was probably the last time so much blood was spilled for no reason other that hatred and ignorance. Whatever the outcome of the U.S presidential elections will be, one thing is for sure. The lies of a democratic state are coming to a head. The hypocrisy of justice and liberty will be laid bare. Oligarchy is what America has been trending towards. A presidential election between to oligarchs is a sham elections. What will be at the ballot is if the sham system has any fire power left. The decision will be made on the backs of the most vulnerable.

There is palpable pain and agony from those whose children have been put in cages; those who are descendants of enslaved Africans who have long been waiting to be full citizens and to enjoy some benefits from the labor of their forefathers; those shot by police while unarmed; those who have lost their jobs because of government policy that favors corporations that are downsizing to increase capital; those who are facing violence as they cross borders illegally after loosing their markets to subsidized American agriculturalproducts; those drowning in oceans and seas escaping failed countries that have instituted World Bank policies that cripple the local economies; those illegal immigrants picking our food but have no gainful employment or job security due to government policy, those who have lost their businesses to looting, mounting debt and regressive taxes that allows supposed billionaire to get away with paying only $750 in taxes.

Karl Marx started his seminal work, The Communist Manifesto, with the observation that the history of all societies is one of class struggle. Yet there is a lot to said about the person he considered his number one hero: general Spartacus. Spartacus was the most famous general who led a slave rebellion against Rome and its slave economy. He won 9 battles against General Cassius and Pompey. On his last stand, when he realized that he was about to lose, he ordered his horse killed so that he could in the same rank with everybody else. His main focus shifted to laying his hands on General Crassus and General Pompeii in order to fight them one on one.

That was then. Now we all need to get on horses and fight for justice and against exploitation and ignorance. Democracy as we have it today has failed so many. The Democrats failed the country and that gave the Republicans an opening they exploited. The Republicans were especially unified in their fight against Obama. That was all any keen observer needed to see. President Obama wasn't radical in any major way but still that wasn't good enough for the Republicans.

The hate we are seeing has deep roots. It has been postponed for years. The final day for dealing with the long delayed issues is now at hand. Electing someone to continue with the same unjust system that has caused all the divisions won't solve the problem. If we don't do what is fair, unlike general Spartacus, we should spare the horse and go for each other’s throats. If we can live justly, we will just perish.

Injustice is a major cause of war and division. This arc of history is being bent towards illegitimate power. Those with power will use hate, color, sex and finally ideology to manipulate those without power so as to perpetuate the same o sameo. Don't fall for tricks. We are all finally at our own Mt. Vesuvius where Sparticus started his war.

Chef Kabui

The Hex Kitchen is a collaboration between Chef Kabui and the Hex community in a bid to promote food literacy, mindful eating and wealth creation. There is a natural connection between those who are fighting against fiat currency and those engaged in the struggle against fiat food. The two social ills of fiat currency and fiat food are at the heart of the tyrannic global world system we are now living in. That tyranny is directly connected to the climate crisis we face and there is no way we can solve one part of the problem without being mindful of the whole system, For a start, the Hex Kitchen is keen on addressing the issues of real money and real food as a basis on regaining our sovereign power. It is no accident that the struggle for food justice would find allies in cryptography and more specifically cryptocurrency. It is not a usual collaboration but yet it is one that makes sense on many levels. Chef Kabui has been studying and applying the power of food literacy, mindful eating and food justice in the struggle against oppression in general and specifically to people of African descent.

Chef Kabui has studied the disciplines of politics, anthropology and culinary arts and has designed a cuisine or rather an approach to food that is informed by the above experience and the indigenous knowledge that he gained from his Kenyan family’s history as sustainable farmers for generations. The combined experience and education resulted in the creation of a cuisine called Afro Futuristic Conscious Cuisine. It is a combination of the most sustainable practices in the growing, preparation of food with the goal of causing the least damage to the environment and maximizing the health benefits of the food. Those two conditions are necessary for a mindful community that ensures that justice thrives.

Chef Kabui has been pushing organic food and healthy eating based on his research and his own experience. The idea of healthy food and justice is not something that chef Kabui got into but was born in it. His family operated a farm and his father ran a restaurant in the capital city of Nairobi. Kabui grew up in the village with his mother where they grew almost all the food they consumed. It was at his family farm that he Kabui developed a love for fresh food and the art of consuming food following the natural cycles of seasons.

The collaboration aims to share the skills for healthy food to the Hex community and beyond. No community can survive without food and the Hex community is no different. The Hex Kitchen is another assembly point for the community to be nourished both physically and socially. While wealth is private, food is social and having a kitchen for the community to assemble is a great option for a community that is causing ripples across the world.

What to Expect

The Kitchen will have virtual classes, content on Youtube and other social media presence for a start. The goal is that the Kitchen will have a physical place that will have a kitchen in a farm that will grown food and have space that guest can visit. The farm will have a demonstration farm for the vegetables, fruits and herbs,
