Political Prisoner profile: Joe Joe Bowen

Joseph “Joe-Joe” Bowen is one of the many all-but-forgotten frontline soldiers in the liberation struggle.

A native of Philadelphia, Joe-Joe was a young member of the “30th and Norris” street gang before his incarceration politicized him. Released in 1971, his outside activism was cut short a week following his release when Joe-Joe was confronted by an officer of the notoriously brutal Philadelphia police department. The police officer was killed in the confrontation, and Bowen fled. After his capture and incarceration, Bowen became a Black Liberation Army combatant, defiant to authorities at every turn.

In 1973, Joe-Joe and Philadelphia Five prisoner Fred “Muhammad” Burton assassinated Holmesberg prison’s warden and deputy warden as well as wounded the guard commander in retaliation for intense repression against Muslim prisoners in the facility. In 1981, Bowen led a six-day standoff with authorities when he and six other captives took 39 hostages at Graterford Prison as a freedom attempt and protest of the prison conditions. Much of his time in prison has been spent in and out of control units, solitary confinement, and other means of isolating Joe-Joe from the general prison population. He is legendary to many prisoners as a revolutionary. “I used to teach the brothers how to turn their rage into energy and understand their situations,” Bowen told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1981. “I don’t threaten anybody. I don’t talk to pigs. I don’t drink anything I can’t see through and I don’t eat anything off a tray. When the time comes, I’ll be ready.

    My only intention is to spread love, BROTHER, GOD and I have no ulterior motives! As such, I trust my actions knowing none are able to oppose 👁️, REFLECTION! That being said, I did not grow up in street life myself, though some/ many in my family did! Over the last few years as I have gotten more in tune with my roots/ ancestral line your story has always struck a chord with I more & more and I seemingly cannot shake it!

    I VIEW YOU AS A KING, A GOD AND SOMETHING GREAT OUR COMMUNITY WAS ROBBED OF! AS ALL IS ENERGY, I AM ONLY NOW DOING MY PART IN ASSISTING IN YOUR RETURN TO US!

    In the few documentaries I have seen on you something that is clear is knowledge was key to how you moved! That being said, it may be unlikely there is anything I will state in this text that you do not already know! If that is the case, than I ask/ hope/ intend that you (GODFATHERS) at the very least trust us to follow in your footsteps with raising our people to the next level!

    PLEASE BROTHER, ALLOW 👁️ TO SPEAK FREELY WITH YOU! SUCH IS ALL 👁️ ASK EVEN IF YOU COMPLETELY DISAGREE WIT’ 👁️!

    JOHN 10:34 STATES MAN IS GOD!

    AND

    ACTS 17:48 SAYS THE GOD TO CREATE HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NOT IN ANY MAN MADE BUILDING! WHILE MAN HAS A TEMPLE (BUILDING) ON HIS SHOULDERS!

    PROVERBS 22:28 “DO NOT MOVE AN ANCIENT BOUNDARY STONE SET UP BY YOUR ANCESTORS”! BLACKS ARE THE ORIGINAL HUE-MANS (ANCESTORS) AND DOES THAT NOT SOUND LIKE EXACTLY WHAT AMERICA, ISRAEL, SOUTH AFRICA JUST NAME A FEW OF THE MORE OBVIOUS NATIONS ARE GUILTY OF!

    Revelation 1:14-15 “CHRIST HAS HAIR LIKE WOOL AND FEET OF BRONZE!”

    THEY ARE TERRIFIED OF US FOR THEY KNOW CHRIST WALKS AMONG THEY, NOT ON THEIR SIDE IN OPPOSITION AS THEIR ENTIRE WORLD IS BEING DESTROYED BY THEY THEMSELVES POWERLESS TO DUE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DESTROY IT!

    WORDS CONSIST OF A CAST OF CHARACTERS WHICH ARE THEN SPELLED! “SOL” MEANS “SUN” AND YOU OLDER KIN USED TO CALL ONE ANOTHER “SOUL SISTERS” & “SOUL BROTHERS”! BODY IS ONLY A SHIP FOR THEE, SOL/ SOUL! OUR PEOPLE WERE TRICKED INTO PRACTICING “WAR-SHIP” AGAINST SELF AND ONE ANOTHER!

    MY TRANSLATION OF COMING KNOWLEDGE TO FREE OUR PEOPLE:

    *THOT, 👁️ THEE, GREAT MAGICIAN, KEEPER OF WRITING, MAGIC, DIVINE LAW, WISDOM HAVE RETURNED AND YE HOLDS MY_ EMERALD TABLET_ IN THY’S HAND, CALLING SUCH A SMARTPHONE OR EVEN A TABLET

    Man, being believers and not knowers, has not known FREE-DOMe for generations!

    Instead only having GOVERN-MENTÉ (MIND CONTROL), ARRESTED DEVELOP-MENTÉ, CONFINE-MENTÉ, DETAIN-MENTÉ, EN-TRAP-MENTÉ EN-SLAVE-MENTÉ, I’M-PRISON-MENTÉ! BEFORE THE BEGINNING WAS ONLY THE SILENT NIGHT OF DARKNESS, THEN BIRTHING FORTH WORD OF LIGHT AS DAWN! TRANCE-MUTED EN-CHANT-MENTÉ PAYS FOR-WORD EN-LIGHTEN-MENTÉ!¡i¡!¡i¡!¡i¡!¡i THOT WROTE THE EMERALD TABLETS WHICH POSSESS LIGHT WITHIN TO REFLECT IN THEE, READER BEING LIGHT WITHIN A BODY! MOST CELLPHONES, TABLETS, PC MONITORS AND TV’s ARE LIT by Liquid CRYSTAL Displays, PLASMA or OLED (Organic LIGHT-Emitting Diode! BLOOD is ORGANIC, an ELECTRIC CURRENT powering the body, as well as literal LIQUID CRYSTAL containing PLASMA (PLASMA = MODULATION OF THE VOICE)! DI-ODE = TWO WAY! YE IS HOLDING IN HAND AND/ OR VIEWING MY EYE-PHONE RIGHT NOW, REFLECTION 👁️!¡i¡!¡i¡!¡i¡!¡i

    *LIGHT IS KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND YE’S TABLET GLOWS WIT’ PAGES OF KNOWLEDGE A FALLEN WORLD HAS TRIED TO KEEP FROM THEE IN ORDER TO KEEP THEE BELIEVERS MIND’S 👁️ LOST/ TRAPPED IN DARKNESS/ BONDAGE*

    GOVERN-MENTÉ IS EN-TRAP-MENTÉ, EN-SLAVE-MENTÉ, DETAIN-MENTÉ AND MIND CONTROL

    👁️ do not care if this kite/ message is intercepted by suppossed “authorities”as 👁️ ALL WAYS WIN AND TRUST THOSE IN THE COMPANY OF MY WINNINGS! 👁️ do not care IF THESE MAKE BELIEVING WEAKLINGS WATCH THIS VESSEL 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR! SUCH DOES NOT EFFECT 👁️ IN THE SLIGHTEST!

    BROTHER, GOD! THEY ARE WEAK! THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT THEM AND/ OR THEIR ENTIRE WORLD TO FEAR, RESPECT, RECOGNIZE AS AUTHORITY, LOOK TO BE VALIDATED/ SUCCESSFUL IN, SEEK APPRECIATION FORM, NOR ACCEPTANCE IN!

    👁️ SHARE THIS WITH YOU AS THIS IS IN LINE WITH THE COMING CONSCIOUSNESS OF THOSE ASSURED TO MAKE IT TO THE NEW AGE! THE LAST SHALL BE THE FIRST AND THE BOTTOM THE TOP!

    [READER OF THESE WORDS]
