Pharaonic Birthday and The Oval Office

I was inundated with wishes of a happy birthday all yesterday and today. I lost count once it hit over one hundred and eight. That’s a lot of people for me as the one thing I find with every successful year is that I have to deal with a shrinking list of friends. The irony of it is that almost every single year for the last decade, I always travel to a new state or country and meet new friends.

My point here is that yesterday was one of the most difficult days I have had. It just so happened that the week had been quite productive with great strides on other fronts( story for another day).

I was overcome with sadness as I considered all the energy that was being sent my way and knowing that it wouldn’t change the reality we live in for one single second. Happiness is not a one day affair when one wakes up and pushes the pause button for the sad reality in the world. This is one sick world and I am more scared of those who claim special powers, supernatural abilities and special abilities to make things better.

I can say a lot but I will wrap up with a write up going back a year back when I said that I will never wear a suit ever in my life. I came to realize that there things I hold as golden standards that promote injustices in the most blatant ways.

I almost cried therefore when I say one grown adult with a round object on his neck standing in front of a foreign dignitary from Ukraine, in front of the TV, and the only question he found worthy asking is why the president of a country in war couldn’t wear a suit to a meeting that was expressly designed to steal the minerals worth trillions of dollars for a fake peace without guarantee and the illogical condition of allowing Russia to keep all the stolen lands that have enormous wealth. And what do the people of Ukraine get? Nothing.

Nothing was what my day was about yesterday. I don’t mean to burst your bubbles but we are a sick people period. I am neither proud of my American citizenship nor my country of birth. The masses, Black or Caucasian, are interested in finding peace, success and happiness in a world that has none.

Every dollar in your pocket or toy or nice house has a heavy cost on the global happiness index that is hidden. As long as enough people are so smart to value a suit over justice and human life, we are all fucked.

America lied to Gorbachev that it would not advance an inch of NATO territory towards the territory of the former USSR and did the exact opposite. Putin is just trying to protect his territory and ensure he has access to a sea port that can allow him to trade with Chine should America blockade him as he has.

Yet, the sponsors of terror globally have the audacity to ask for a thank you and claim loudly that the American people have been disrespected by someone have a conversation. Trump even told him that he had spoken too much.

Okay, that is Ukraine. What about Congo? When are they planning to come to the Oval Office? What would they be coming to do if they saw the interview? What about Africans and other national here? Do we all have to dress a certain that conservatives feel is appropriate?

My heart is heavy and my wish is not to be happy but for justice to roll like a mighty river. Our first violence and “suit” we wear is the food we put in our mouth and the fake narratives we hold in our own “Oval Offices” we call heads. We are in very bad shape and we are headed in the wrong direction very fast. Prioritize justice and happiness will come.

African is a miniature of its past glory. Consider the 3,200 years old statue of the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II, known to have been one of Egyptian great pharaoh. The statue of Ramses the second weighs 83 tons. What kind of suit did he wear to rule that long and better yet, what kind of food did those who carved such a statue eat? How just was their “oval office” atop their neck and the one above their waistline?

That was then, I wonder how the ancestors would compare to my gracious friends on social media, especially with the over abundance of happy meals and other over speeding food otherwise known as fast food as the equivalent of “suits” for our “oval offices”. We too have a silent war going on against healthy food and sensible culture that supports and nourish our environment and community. Only with sustainable and nourishing oval offers amongst the masses can we expect the politicians to reflect our values allow us to celebrate every day with happiness. Happy “Oval Offices”, which apparently connected through by Vagus nerve. Apparently the word vagus is the same root for the word vagabond. I am now truly lost on account of the condition of the corrupt “oval offices” I dream of a rebirth pharaonic era that makes all of us feel at home.

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,
