A global shift toward decolonising the abantu mind

There is an increased focus on the people of the landmass that comes as the cycle has returned where the mother mind is reactivated on earth. Decolonization and Indigenous rights are claimed by the Chiefs of the land, and the matriarch is rising to made amends for the injustice.

Some of the things we are to be aware of are how the injustice was imposed. 

The Doctrine of Discovery 

  • The Land as an Estate: The vast territories of the “copper colored people” were legally re-framed as a massive Estate or Trust.

  • The Government as Executor: The newly formed Nation-States (like the United States or Canada) appointed themselves as the Executor or Trustee of this massive estate.

  • From Owners to Beneficiaries/Debtors: The indigenous people, who were once the sovereign owners, were legally demoted to the status of beneficiaries or “wards” of the state. In this new trust relationship, the government (the Creditor) managed the resources, and the native people were placed in the position of dependents or Debtors, reliant on the executor for their own property. This is the foundation of the reservation system.

The Doctrine of Discovery was the original software, so to speak, used to legally justify the takeover of the Americas. When it came to Africa, the same core dogma was at play: European, Christian nations believed they had a superior right to the land and resources of non-European, non-Christian peoples.

For centuries, this was primarily enforced through Maritime Law. European powers set up coastal forts and trading posts. They engaged in slave trade from the sea, interacting with the African nations largely through contracts and trade agreements and claimed and control the entire continent.

Africa as a Massive Trust

After the map was drawn, the same Trust model that was applied to the “copper colored people” was implemented across Africa.

  • The Estate: The entire continent and its immense natural wealth were treated as the assets of a massive Trust.

  • The Executors and Creditors: The European colonial powers were the Executors, managing the estate for their own benefit. They became the Creditors, extracting wealth (rubber, diamonds, gold, labor) to enrich themselves.

  • The People as Debtors: The African people were turned into subjects in their own land. Through taxes (like hut taxes or poll taxes), they were forced into the cash economy, often having to work for colonial enterprises just to pay the taxes. This effectively made them Debtors within the new colonial corporate system. They were now legally obligated to serve the trust.

The process that took centuries in the Americas was systematically and rapidly applied to Africa. The Berlin Conference wasn’t the cause of the division, but it was the formal, legalistic event where the colonizers agreed on the rules of the game. It was the moment they put their plan for turning an entire continent into a series of trusts, run for their own profit, down on paper under the color of law. It was the perfection of the colonial playbook.
