It’s unfortunate that most folks cant think for themselves and their views are a product of media babble and political rhetoric. The bigger problem is that people fail to see the flaws that lie within the entire political system. Whether an elected official is good, bad, better or worse, they still must act within the system that ultimately must be regulated by the people. Not to say the system fails every time but it fails enough times for it to be imperfect. It’s imperfect because it was created and is maintained by imperfect humans. This is why I advocate the revision and overhaul of our political system and its processes. We need to introduce new policies and fail-safes that will self regulate and eliminate the corrupt and bad politicians. In the past that fail-safe was “the people” but we have become to far removed, to complacent, too apathetic, too dumb!
I dare to go a step further, and say we should revise the “Constitution” to match the current zeitgeist. As in any system there should be upgrades. This is why I’m running for President because I believe there are still people out there who want to, and believe they can change the world. I know there are still people out there that believe the true triumph of our republic lies in the ideas we believe, the values we uphold and those whom we trust to lead us; Yet the same is true for our plight. It’s time for a monumental change, and the only way that will happen is when the people unite and forge a new paradigm in this country.
EHPHEX for President.
A Friendly Reminder
January has come and gone and now we are half through February. Seems that time keeps moving faster and faster and we are forced to keep up. Or climb back in the bed and try again tomorrow. I would ask you, do you remember January 1st. Happy New Year.! The excitement. Fresh dreams and new goals. Where are they now?
There’s a quote I like, “Until you commit your goals to paper, you have intentions that are seeds without soil.” -Anonymous
Plant your seeds. Write down your goals for this year. Or better yet, if you did write them down, pull out that piece of paper and read over them, rewrite them, refocus. You have a great opportunity before you.
This is a big year. Don’t let it race right by you. Make it happen. Make a difference. You’ll be happier for it!
DIY
This is a personal public message to myself (Tumaini Ehphex), to motivate myself, to empower myself, and although I need help, I realize I have to do this myself. I don’t know where I will be at the end of this journey and if I will even come close to accomplishing the mission, but day by day, step, by step I will get closer to victory.
Anonymous asked: Hi Ephex, I applaud your entrance into the fray. Your speeches are poetic as well as powerful. If possible, could you consider posting transcripts of, if not all, some of your personal choices of the video text? If you have done so already In apologize for not finding them. Please point me to them.
Thank you for the suggestion, I certainly will consider posting transcripts in future videos I post.
All the best!
Vision for a New America
Since I launched my campaign to run for president I’ve received many questions regarding where I stand on the issues… In my opinion the only way to successfully address each and every major issue is to take a step back and a strong look at the root problem, that which begets the many problems of our political, economic and social condition. The government apparatus is deeply flawed and afflicted with systemic corruption. I can’t stress enough the need to fix the very systems that govern our day to day lives, our actions and our ways of thinking. Our political system operates under big money and cronyism and it’s been this way since its inception. Its intrinsically flawed and contradictory. So we must ask ourselves can, can we continue to go on like this? Can we continue to obey the status quo as the political process continues its perpetual cycle of adopting elephant and jackass ideologies. We elect the one of these two political parties that makes the best promise for change and reform, but fail to deliver or sell us out. Every 4 years politicians campaign to raise large amounts of money and gain the popularity required to influence the votes. so it seems as if we are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, its insanity. the whole system is insane. Its a perverted partisan bureaucracy. The political dynamic is nearing its boiling point as public opinion is that of discord and distrust.
So I am running for president in 2012 to propose a new vision for the future of our republic. A vision that will require solidarity among the american people. In order to right all the wrongs in America there must be a political and economic revolution. we must “clean house” in washington, and redistribute the grossly disproportioned wealth in this country. Then after several months of planning and design by a committee of delegates from diverse scientific and scholarly backgrounds will present to the public a blueprint for the a better more perfect America. If accepted through democratic consensus trillions of dollars will be pumped into the economy for the propose of building this sustainable, fair and just system. A self-regulating system of check and balances that will make every citizen an owner of their piece of the pie and an equal contributor to the whole.
I hope you will follow, share and support the EHPHEX for president campaign to help spread this vision to your fellow americans. We can truly change the game. If we map out our own journey and decide to take a new route toward greater destinations, together we can construct the roadways that will take us there.
We can build a new America.
Thank you
Peace love and prosperity.
CHANGE THE GAME
The Superbowl XLVI was a fascinating spectacle of athleticism. The performance brought people together to share in the excitement for the 46th year. However, the Superbowl is merely a hyped up game that generates mass attention and greater revenues for its owners. Other than the momentary entertainment, it provides little to no longterm value to any one’s life except the players, coaches and owners. In many ways these games are analogous to the social systems we uphold today (primarily our political system). Although we Americans can choose to follow, watch, or attend any sporting event we desire. The game of politics however, that governs our society is a game we are forced to participate in. A large percentage of the US population who follow sports know all about the game and the players, for it’s entertaining and feels good for our leisure. But unfortunately we don’t pay a third as much attention to what goes on in our government. Like all games, the political game has winners and losers, rules and fouls, officials, judges, coaches, spectators and of course owners. The current system (game) is spectacular in display, complex in design, corrupt, flawed and contradictory in its practice. Its a game that started two centuries ago and is being playing out to this very moment. It dictates our individual and collective daily lives, and yet it gets less public attention than a sporting event. The growing apathy toward the US political system allows for more corruption in what is already a flawed and failed, system. This I think is dangerous, because the less focus, attention and concern we have toward the game of politics and its players, the more prone the entire citizenry is susceptible to greater deception, lies, corruption of institutions and the loss of rights as American citizens.
All of the above is why I launched the EHPHEX for President campaign. To “Change the Game”. We must change the way we do things in government. We need to promote new ideas toward the development of a new political system that is fair, just and sensible. If the mindset of the individual changes toward mutual support of a common goal and a bold new vision, the change we need will prevail. A bold statement is made when we refuse to continue participating in the current game. Like fans who support their favorite team or athletes, citizens can rally behind this vision as we strive for victory. Which is Ultimately a new and improved society. The world changes when a few thoughtful, committed citizens empowers the population to support and make steps toward radical changes in society. A mass scale change to get our nation on the right track will require careful strategic planning in a democratic forum, (a game plan if you will). How we do this is simple. First we must select the worlds top scientists, engineers, mathematicians, economists, scholars and futurists to attend a national conference. The goal of the conference is to come up with a clear design for a better system of governance. After possibly moths of thorough review and tweaking, testing and refining, a presentation will be given to the census democracy which is every American citizen; who will ultimately choose to accept or deny the new system for the current political system. This action may very likely require a total overhaul of the US Constitution; which has never been attempted in the 224 year history. Will “We the People”, you and your fellow American citizens agree to taking these actions toward building a better system and change the game? Or will we continue to ignore the reality and further allow ourselves to be lead by the status quo? In the next 8 months the masses must be empowered to accept the radical change described above or settle for the status quo once again. It is the vision and goals of the EHPHEX for President campaign that could sparks the revolution that moves us toward a new game. A game with new rules, new players, new coaches and new owners. If American citizens can believe this vision is possible and aspire to make it happen, the game can be changed, the world can be changed, life on this planet will be changed for the better, forever.
We can change the game!

EHPHEX for President 2012
EHPHEX BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Today is February 1st 2012, as it marks the start of the annual month long celebration of Black History Month. This day February 1st is important to commemorate, because this same day in 1960, the “Greensboro Four” made a bold move to fight against segregation. The brave act of protest by four black college students launched a nation wide civil rights movement. All Americans should recognize the importance of this day and what it means for equality and the advancement of all people of all colors in America.
Take some time today and the rest month to learn a bit more about the “Negros”, “Blacks”, “African-Americans”, humans who have gone through so much trial and tribulation, tests and triumphs to shape and contribute to this social experiment called America.
Reflect on what we have gone through and where we need to go. Think about what it will take to get there.
Lastly let’s extend Black History throughout the year. Black History is American History its part of the human story that gotten us to where we are today, and all our children need to know it. They need to learn the whole true story that is too long to squeeze into one short month. Parents teach your kids, engage them, learn from them. Share information you come across online, on facebook ect. Lets teach each other, remind each other so we can learn from our mistakes, celebrate our achievements and evolve into the great species we are destined to be.
The Non-Traditional Candidate
I Tumaini Ehphex, have chosen to run for the 2012 presidential seat. With the help of my constituents and the American people I believe we can reform the political system that has failed. I believe an awakening in America is necessary for any real change to occur in this country. Change will happen, it is inevitable. But it’s a who, what, where and how question. The change we get may not be the change we want or need. This is why I’m running for president. More people have to be involved in the political process in new ways. It is our duty as citizens to expose corruption, support new ideas and share information with fellow citizens, and rise up in revolution if the government gets “too big for it britches”. Unfortunately many of our citizens have become complacent, comfortable and conditioned to the point of apathy towards politics. I too was there in the not so distant past. But I have been awakened by the white noise all around me. So I am now taking time to learn about politics and how our government works. The more research and information I acquire, The more I discover corruption and flaws within the political system. I have learned how many true progressives and revolutionaries have made attempts in changing the system for the betterment of the citizenry. But many have failed because of the way the system functions and or lack of popular support. I have many times wondered why this is. Why is it that people don’t get behind revolutionaries with good ideas when there is growing civil discontent? Again, I think the answers lie in how we have been conditioned since birth to believe, follow and support the status quo and those who claim to be the brightest, richest, most successful among us. Those who want to maintain the system, because they greatly benefit from it. Many non-traditional candidates, activists and revolutionaries who challenge the status quo are usually written off or fall victim to character assassination or worse. I understand and expect this, as I don’t claim to be the brightest, richest or most successful candidate. I do however have the desire, the passion and the courage to change the world. I believe, deep down in my heart that change in the world is not only necessary but very possible. But it’s not happening fast enough and to many people are sitting on their hands letting the government run us off a cliff. But through collaboration and synergy, the human citizen can stop the madness and focus on getting society on the right track. This is my message, my stand and my calling. I don’t have the solutions to fix all our problems, but I am aware of the problems and I’m willing to work to get this world functioning the way it should. My mission is to find others who will partner with me. Is that you? Do you feel like me? Like you could be President and do just as good if not better than the 44 preceding presidents? This is why I running. I am the Non-traditional candidate in 2012 who wants to shake things up in government. I’m the outsider who’s political agenda is that of the American citizen’s. I want to restore order, peace, justice and harmony. I am the revolutionary who wants to change the game.
