Dwight D. York (born , who is popularly believed to have been born in 1845.) is an author and musician and the founder of various fraternal orders, religious, and Black Nationalist groups collectively referred to here as Nuwaubians . York’s organizations came under increased government scrutiny in the early- 1990s after building Tama-Re , an Ancient Egypt ian-themed city featuring Pyramid s, temples, and living quarters for hundreds of his followers, in Putnam County, Georgia near Eatonton, Georgia . He was arrested in May of 2002 , charged with over 100 counts of Child Molestation and other charges, and was convicted in 2004 and sentenced to 135 years in prison. York has been known by several aliases over the years, including the following: :Amunnubi Rooakhptah, Rabboni D.D., Amun Nubi Raakh Ptah, Neter: A’aferti Atum-Re, Imaam Isa, Dr. Malachi Z.

York has gone to great lengths to establish genealogical toeholds in various important lines of descent. York was born in , Sudan the way he tells it"Issue #1 Who is Dwight D. York?" United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors {Link without Title} . His mother is Mary C. York ''nee'' Williams, a.k.a. Faatimah Maryam, who had been married to David Piper York, though York claims that his biological father was Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, whom Williams met while she was a student in the Sudan. :Certian Sic '' members of the Mahdi family did not accept Mary C. York. They felt that she was not of the noble family therefore they could not and woulld Sic '' not accept the child. Mean while Sic '' the Mahdi family was being harrassed Sic '' and some even killed by wicked forces in the Sudan. So Abdur Rahman Al Haadi Al Mahdi, May Allah be pleased with him, sent Mary C. York and the infant named Isa (Saviour) back to her native american home land and Sic '' on July 3, 1945 AD."Mass Purification" (attributed to Fred Boddie) ''NuWorldOrder Forums'' 21 September 2004[http://nuworldorder.com/community/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=93] York claims that the name he was given at birth was “ Isa Al Haadi Al Mahdi ” and that he only acquired the name “York” (without a first name) a month later when the family returned to Boston . David and Mary York have four other children: David, Dale, Debra and Dennis."York Geneaology Chart of African and Native Decendancy" ''Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs'' {Link without Title} David Piper York is said to be a descendant of (Ben) York of the Lewis And Clark Expedition , whom scholars refer to as York (though he is sometimes called Ben York in works of historical fiction). In order to preserve Dwight York’s claim to be in Ben York’s bloodline, while also claiming that his real father was Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi, an additional claim has been made — that Mary Williams and David York are second cousins: Mary Williams’s mother, Leila Williams ''nee'' Miller (a Washita Native American) was Ben York’s granddaughter on her father’s side. :Ben York was the son of Old York, “Yusef Ben Ali”. Ben York’s parents were named after one of the Great British Families, The Yorks from “ Yorkshire , Northern England”. The ancestors of these Yorks in England were Negroid, Black-A-Moors, which is the Yorkshire Coats of Arms. The name York is a British name Yorkshire, northern England. York was the ruling house of England (1461-1485), which included Edward IV , Edward V , and Richard III . During The War Of The Roses its symbol was A White Rose . York was a borough of Northern England on the Ouse River East – Northeast of Leeds . Originally it was a Celtic settlement, meaning it was occupied by Moor s, that is Dark Skinned Woolly Haired Moors, not to be mistaken with modern day Moroccans , who are Spaniards and Francs ."Genealogy of Consul General Dr. Malachi Z. York and his African-Native American Heritage" ''Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs'' [http://www.officialnaia.org/Office%20of%20The%20Consul%20General/Geneaology.htm Ben York’s mother is said to have been one Warda Saliym ‘Rose’ Idriys, “a Yamassee Native American Moor, whose father is Old York a.k.a. Yusuf Ben Ali (1756-1861 A.D.)”"Important Bulletin!!!!!!" ''Yamassee Native Americans - Tribal News'' (c. 2004) {Link without Title} Idriys was the “daughter of Sharufa Salim Idriys, of the Idrisid Dynasty.” :The Idrisid Dynasty were the first Arab rulers of the whole of Morocco. They were the descendants of Bilaal son of Rabah and Hamama, [an] Ethiopia n Moor born 551-641 A.D. This Bilaal was of the Hebrew Essenic Branc[h] of Shriners who was responsible to pass the scepter of rulership from Israel to Ishmael giving Muhammad his link to the Ancient Shriner Brotherhood of Sayyid s called Shariyfs “Nobles”. The Idrisid held power in Morocco from 789-926 A.D. A grandfather on his father’s (Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi’s) side was As Sayyid Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi. This makes York also a descendant of Muhammad Ahmad .Philips, Abu Ameenah Bilal ''The Ansar Cult in America'' Tawheed Publications 1988, p. 12 On his mother’s side, Clarence Daniel “Bobby” Williams, Mary C. York’s father, is described as “an Egyptian Moor named Salah Hailak Al Ghala, a merchant seaman from a little village called Beluwla, in Nubia of Ancient Egypt ” but one geneaological tree shows Bobby Williams’s father as unknown and his mother as “Madam Decontee” of the Bassa tribe of Liberia . Clarence is credited with having named York “Isa” at birth. These various, convoluted, and probably invented lines of descent are important to York’s various claims to be simultaneously a Yamassee Native American chief, a Celtic Moor from the house of York, a Nubian Egyptian, a Liberian yet with royal Sudanese blood, and so forth (and those are just a few of the lines of descent he claims on this planet). Early life and ministry York says: :I was raised in Massachusetts until the age of 7. At the age of 7 Shaikh Hasuwn [possibly Hassan Al Banna ? ''- ed.''] escorted me to Aswan , Nubia .… My father had appointed Shaikh Hasuwn to be my guardian. His job was to protect and properly raise me in Al Islaam .… My grandfather, As Sayyid Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi , the Imaam of the Ansaars in the Sudan until 1959 AD , upon looking into my eyes foretold that I was the one who would possess “the light.” It was here where I was raised by Shaikh Hasuwn and my uncle on my mother’s side, Abdullah. I returned to the United States , State Street ( Mosque ) to be exact at the age of 12 in the year 1957 AD . I spent my adolescent years in Teaneck , New Jersey …York, Malachi Z. ''The Ansaar Cult, Rebuttal to the Slanderers''[http://www.factology.com/doc/written4.htm] According to '' The Washington Times '': :Mr. York was sentenced to probation in early 1964 , after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of raping a 13-year-old girl. But he was arrested again in October 1964, and his conviction in January 1965 for assault and other charges earned Mr. York a three-year sentence in state prison. Paroled in October 1967 , Mr. York joined the Black Panthers …McCain, Robert S. "Nuwaubian nightmare" ''The Washington Times'' 2 June 2002 {Link without Title} In the late 1960s York, calling himself “Amunnubi Rooakhptah,” invented a quasi- Muslim Black Nationalist movement based on the “ Science Of Nuwaubu .” He changed his name to “Imaam Isa Abdullah” and started his “Ansaar Pure Sufi” ministry to the “Nubians” in . After York returned from a pilgrimage to FBI report accused of being a “front for a wide range of criminal activity, including arson, welfare fraud and extortion.”''Watchman Fellowship’s 2001 Index of Cults and Religions'' {Link without Title} ). One observer wrote: :The women of the Ansaaru Allah Community focus on memorizing history as their Imam sees it, learning Arabic (many of them are quite fluent), incorporating Sudanese etiquette into their mannerisms and memorizing the Qur'an . They participate in the compilation of the various texts produced by the community and also work in the recording studio owned by the community. Other than this work, the women’s main source of income comes from US Government Public Assistance and monies earned by the men in various enterprises such as food shops, jewelry and merchandise stories, and street vending. Another source says: :He was based in Coney Island for a time, and operated a bookstore and a printing press on Flatbush Ave. in the 70s. In the 80s he was based in Bushwick , on Bushwick Ave. York’s students are best remembered by New Yorkers as practitioners of orthodox Islam – members of certain New York Five Percent Nation , Nation Of Islam and Arab Islamic Mosque s still regard the Nuwaubians as a rival faction – but at different times they followed the paths of Christianity and Judaism. Operations relocated to Liberty , NY, near the Catskills , around 1991, then to Georgia in ’93.Heimlich, Adam "Black Egypt: A Visit to Tama-Re" ''New York Press'' 8 November 2000 {Link without Title} York’s groups later took on a new array of names and functions — religious, fraternal, and tribal – including the “Yamassee Native American Tribe,” "the Washitaw Tribe,” “The Egyptian Church Of Karast or Christ,” “The Holy Tabernacle Ministries,” “The United Nuwaubian Nation Of Moors,” the “Holy Seed Baptist Synagogue,” “the Ancient Mystic Order of Melchizedek,” and "the Ancient Egiptian Order". York himself tried on a myriad of titles and pseudonyms, including The Supreme Grand Master Dr. Malachi Z. York, Nayya Malachizodoq-El, and Chief Black Eagle (the Nuwaubian Moors are said to be descendants of the Olmecs via Egypt over an ancient Land Bridge to Georgia). By 1985, York had added miracle-performance to his repertoir. He would Materialize Sacred, Healing Ash in front of his followers, much in the fashion of Sathya Sai Baba .Philips, Abu Ameenah Bilal ''The Ansar Cult'' 1988, p. 36 (referencing York’s 1985 books ''The Man of Miracles in This Day and Time'' and ''You Are Adam’s Decendants'') In 1988 York was convicted for obtaining a passport with a false birth certificate.Testimony of Jalaine Ward, quoted in Peecher, Rob “FBI: York molested dozens; grand jury indicts Nuwaubian leader on 116 state counts” ''The Macon Telegraph'' 14 May 2002 {Link without Title} A musical career York claims to have worked as a studio musician with groups like Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes , The Delfonics , Evelyn “Champagne” King , and to have ghostwritten songs such as “Love Train” by The O’Jays , "Wake Up Everybody" by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, and "Ain't No Stoppin Us Now" by McFadden & Whitehead . Then, as “Dr. York,” he sang vocals on a solo project and for a group called “Passion,” hoping to “reach a mass majority of my people through my music.”York, Malachi Z. "El’s Qur’aan 18:60-82, What It Means Today" ''The Truth (Bulletin), The 7 Heads And The 10 Horns'' (1993) p. 12 He later also claimed grander musical contributions, stating at one point that “you were listening to my hits back in the 60’s and did not know it, nor did you know that songs which were considered ‘message music’ in the 70’s were written by me.” RELIGIOUS & PHILOSOPHICAL DOCTRINE & PRACTICE See Also: Nuwaubianism THE "TAMA-RE" COMPOUND See Also: Tama-Re CONVICTED OF CHILD MOLESTATION York is said to have had tight control over the sexuality of the members of his groups, though official doctrine could at times be fairly liberal (accepting of homosexuality, for instance). One source notes: : {Link without Title} hile extolling the virtues and importance of family life and the conjugal relationship, he denies such relationships to his followers except at strictly controlled intervals. He urges his female followers to pattern themselves on the Islamic paradigms of the wife and the mother, apparently desiring the creation of stable family units. But in reality the husbands and wives are segregated in dormitories, separated also from their children. York permits spouses to cohabit only once every three months. They are permitted to meet in the “Green Room” by prior appointment only.Gabriel, Theodore "Dwight York - a religious and cultural ''bricoleur''" in Partridge, C. ''UFO Religions'' Routledge 2003, p. 152 In Cherokee , and I cannot get a fair trial if I am being tried by settlers or Confederates .”Peecher, Rob "York claims immunity as Indian: Defense raises new issues as about 200 show support" ''Macon Telegraph'' 1 July 2003 {Link without Title} He asserted to the court that he was a “secured party,” and answered questions in court with the response: “I accept that for value.” This may have been a heterodox legal strategy based on Patriot Mythology ."Maku is a Secured Party" ''We the People'' (Yamassee Native American Moors of the Creek Nation) />see also: Peecher, Rob "Lawyer withdraws guilty plea for York: Nuwaubian leader likely to face new charges, including racketeering" ''Macon Telegraph'' 25 October 2003[http://www.rickross.com/reference/nuwaubians/nuwaubians88.html He was convicted of multiple RICO , child molestation, and financial reporting charges and sentenced to 135 years in prison. His case was appealed to the 11th Circuit Court Of Appeals , but that court upheld the convictions on 27 October 2005 .''U.S. v. Dwight D. York, a.k.a. Malakai Z.

Garlawolu were among those working on a variety of avenues of appeal, and the Southern Regional Director of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition also pledged his support.''All Eyes Do Behold'' Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs, 2005 {Link without Title} York’s followers assert a number of defenses, including that their leader Malachi Z. York who was charged and convicted is not the same person as the Dwight D. York who is listed in court documents as the criminal (one of York’s sons is named Dwight, and sometimes the claim is made that it is York’s son and not York himself who is or should be the real defendant)"360 Reasons to Free Malachai York - Reason No. 3: No Such Person As: Dwight D. York" ''A Public Outcry / Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs'' {Link without Title} , or that York was set up by his son Jacob York in coordination with Al Qaeda -linked American mosques jealous of York’s influence among black Muslims. In October 2004 , he wrote a letter from prison to his "students" that read, in part: :On August 12, 2004 , just days before court, 3 visitors came to me, Crlll, Alomar, and Saad, they healed me. They came from Zeta Reticuli . I had not seen them since I was a child in Teaneck, New Jersey . They don’t age at all. Anyway, they told me the game is almost over. Those that truly love you are coming together for you. They are passing the Great Test. I asked them why I could not just walk out? They said, “Because there is an order to the Kosmos that must never be altered” … Many inmates have seen me float. That is why they keep moving me away. It is because people Canaanites as well are converting inside."Pop's Letter To Diane Stevens" ''NuWorldOrder Forums'' 17 October 2004 {Link without Title} York believes that his betrayal, arrest, trial and imprisonment (and eventual release) were foretold in chapter 10 of Zecharia Sitchin ’s ''The Wars of the Gods and the Men'', with York being represented by Mar-duq in that story.York, Malachi Z. ''Compilation of Powerful Letters'' 27 June 2005 {Link without Title} York as a Liberian Diplomat His "students" now have dropped the claim that York should be considered immune from prosecution due to his status as a sovereign aboriginal Native American Moor, but now advance his claim that since a new web site: http://www.officialnaia.org/ – the Nuwaubian Administration of International Affairs – was inaugurated to better represent this new incarnation of York.) York explains his shift from defending himself as a sovereign “indigerness” Yamassee Native American to defending himself as a Liberian diplomat in this way: :Fact is we called ourselves Native American ''Moors'' and tell them of '' Mali '' which is Africa and the Bassa Tribe are from Mali as well as Sudan . So when I stood up in court and stated I was indigerness Sic '' , that did not in any way state I’m not African and the fact that I wore a fez in court not a Indian head dress shows I favor Africa to America. Plus, I got my diplomatic status and citizenship in 1999 before the arresst Sic '' . And we have two eye and ear witness to the fact and yes they did legal affidavitts Sic '' to this fact. that on May 8th 2002 at the arrest the Sic '' saw and heard me inform the arresting officer that I am a consul general and a Liberian citizen.York, Malachi Z.
