NEW EARTH GAZETTE : Issue 2:WHERE DOES MAIZE COME FROM L

 Across Africa especially Southern,Eastern and Central there is ONE crop that dominates. Some call it " sudza" - Zimbabwe... Some call it " pap"...it's also called " ugali" .. or nsima" in Malawi.  But across this region it grows and is harvested everywhere. But .. if you go further North to Uganda or to Nigeria it appears less and less.  But even in these countries.. maize or corn.. is everywhere. From the poorest to the richest .  In Africa.. everyone eats it. 

Second is Kassava or manioc in Sudan.. then as you go further North to Arab Africa it be ones wheat . Sorghum is also grown and used to make traditional beer. But it is maize that is the NUMBER ONE crop in Africa.  

 But ask 10 African people .. " do you know where maize comes from? - and 9.9 people will answer .. " I don't know !"

They eat it their whole life yet know nothing about what it is they eat.  Or where it is from.. or WHY ! 

Today that is going to change. 

Where does maize come from ? 

In one sentence it came first to the HOPI indian in New Mexico and Arizona many thousands of years ago. In fact they have a story about it. It has many colours.. you could say it's a " rainbow corn" . I know. Because I have visited this place and spoke with their elders about it. 

I am told it was a gift to them from another civilisation. Beyond this world. And it is very drought resistant. It doesn't require much water in fact unlike the maize we use today. In fact this highly nutritious food is half the size of present day corn. 

But that is only the beginning of the story. The conquistadors discovered another species much like what is seen in Africa today in the 16th century.. five hundred years ago. The Spanish and the Portuguese brought it back to Europe and the Portuguese introduced it to their colonies in Africa in Angola and in Mozambique.. and then of course .. the British saw how much the African man could easily rat it and grow string.. and it was regarded as the ideal food to fatten up slaves for hard labour on the plantations and in the mines. 

Digging for roots in the ground simply would not work. 

And then came the so called " green revolution " .. so when everyone starting eating this cheap food .. it became easy to control them and get them to work harder ...

So maize came from Mexico. Via the Spanish. And the Portuguese... And then the British. 

Colonialist dictators brought it here to fatten up the natives for hard labour . To build the country. In fact it was not brain food.. it was BODY food. It helped to dumb down the population which made the people easier to control. It doesn't have much vitamins. 

However, it became the staple food despite all the drawbacks in cultivation - including the soil degradation ...Nor was it drought resistant like the original maize. In fact it used a lot of water. But in Africa it thrived. 

It soon became part of the African diet. And the dumbing down of African people continued until this day. Not many people know it's low nutritional value or how it came to Africa.. or Why.  

This part of history has been wiped clean from the African mind.. 

Why ? 

Hemp seeds on the other hand have incredible nutritious value. But it's been banned by the Americans via the united nations for the last 50 years. Only 12 nations permit it with licenses to grow.

Why would they want to STILL dumb down  African people ? 

Ask yourself the simple question.. 

Why do half of Africans only earn less than two dollars a day in 2023 .  And you will have the answer. 

If food has any bearing on prosperity.  Then food freedom is part of economic freedom. 

That is why it should be feely grown alongside many other trains that can impact child health at the early stage of brain development. 

It's not just the educational system that makes people more clever.  It's WHAT they eat.. 

Do they feed non nutritious maize to Europeans as babies ? ... No. 

They get a balanced diet. 

It's time to legalize hemp. 

Remember... information is not understood unless it's read in context with history. The SLAVE trade.  The COLONIAL era.  It all depended on human beings that could work physically .. and that's where maize came in..  and this was brought here to Africa .. by the white man. By the colonislist.  Was it a good idea ? 

Perhaps. But it's stone now to grow other things that can serve the African people better.
