The System Wasn’t Broken. It Was Built Against Us

A VZN MediaWorks Publication

 — And Here’s How We’re Reclaiming It


🧭 Foreword:


We were never meant to win inside this system. Because it was never broken—it was engineered. Engineered to keep Black, Brown, Indigenous, and underserved communities locked out of the very wealth we built. But what they didn’t expect... is us building something better.


Welcome to the Reclamation Era.

The Illusion of a Broken System

People often say, “The system is broken.” It’s not. It’s executing its original blueprint—just not for us. This country was not built with us in mind; it was built on us. And the structures that emerged weren’t created to include us—they were designed to extract from us, then lock us out.



"From property ownership to credit scoring, education to justice, the so-called American Dream was crafted with selective gates. While others inherited doors, we inherited chains".


Engineered Exclusion: Land, Credit, Law

  • Land: From the 1866 Homestead Act to redlining, we were denied generational wealth while others passed down soil, not struggle.
  • Credit: The modern credit system, FICO scores, and “qualified borrower” metrics were designed to keep capital in white hands.
  • Law: Trust law, property rights, and zoning were not broken—they were built with racial exclusions hidden in policy.


Bulletin Chart:

  • Black land loss since 1910: 90%
  • Average Black FICO score vs. white: 100-point difference
  • Federal aid approved to white farmers vs. Black farmers: 16:1 ratio



Education as Indoctrination

"They taught us to obeynot to build.
They
handed us diplomas and withheld blueprints.
They
trained us for labor, not ownership".


"Public education didn’t prepare us to understand trust law, land titles, EIN creation, or wealth structuring. Why? Because that knowledge would have disrupted control".


Why Misinformation Became Our Default Truth

Misinformation isn’t just a mistake—it’s a method. Sovereign citizen conspiracies, legal traps, and false credit “hacks” have become viral, and many of our people fall into those webs looking for truth in a sea of deception.


VZN exists to correct this. Not with emotional opinions, but with lawful, verifiable, and teachable power.


Legacy Theft Through Legal Design

Every stolen estate. Every misplaced title. Every grant was denied. These are not random. These are consequences of systematic disinheritance.

"Without trusts, titles, and deeds held properly, we’ve watched wealth evaporate by design. The colonizer didn’t just take the land—he coded its protection into law".


The Economic Warfare They Don’t Teach You


War was never just with weapons.
It was done with:


  • Loan denials
  • Banking restrictions
  • Corporate gatekeeping
  • Asset inflation in white neighborhoods
  • Insurance redlines
  • Property tax seizures
  • Community gentrification and displacement


This is economic warfare—disguised as policy.


Rewriting the System: The VZN Framework

We’re not here to repair their house—we're building ours "VZN Holdings Group, LLC"


The VZN Framework includes:


  • 🏛️ VZN Holdings Group LLC – the central command of ownership


  • 🏗️ Land Reclamation Fund – turning land into leverage


  • 📚 VZN Legacy Academy – unchaining education


  • 💳 Credit Power Systems – from rebuild to control


  • 🛡️ Trust & Legal Blueprint – protection against seizure


  • 🧠 VZN MediaWorks – truth that uplifts and equips



The Land Reclamation Fund: Generational Soil

We’re not asking for land.
We’re
buying, reclaiming, and shielding it.


Through the VZN Property Holdings Trust, we convert land into protected, non-taxable, mission-driven community assets. Whether it’s farmland, housing, or sanctuary space—it’s ours. Legally. Strategically. Forever.


Credit Power: Leverage as Liberation

Credit is not about cash—it’s about control.


We teach:

  • How to restore personal and business credit
  • How to use Net 30/Net 60 accounts to gain leverage
  • How to borrow without begging
  • How to build trusts that carry credit, not just people
  • Why Credit > Capital in this economy



Vaults, Trusts, and the Return of Protection

Trusts are not optional—they’re survival blueprints.

We show members how to:


  • Create land-holding trusts


  • Use LLCs + IUL policies for generational wealth


  • Avoid probate court theft


  • Establish legal legacy lines that can’t be touched


The game was never to own—it was to protect what you own.



VZN Academy: Relearning What They Erased

Every course in the VZN Legacy Academy is structured to reverse centuries of miseducation.

Courses include:


  • Money Trauma to Mastery


  • Credit Power: Reclaiming Leverage


  • Wealth Tracks & Passive Income


  • Truth & Sovereignty: Debunking Legal Myths


  • Land Ownership, Zoning, and Tax Strategy


You’re not getting certificates.
You’re getting
freedom tools.



The Cost of Waiting: Restoring Power Now

Reparations are justified.
But waiting alone is dangerous.

We believe in reparative action through reclamation. That’s why every initiative under VZN—whether a fund, a membership, or a consulting service—is designed to give back control in real time.



The Digital Weapon: VZN MediaWorks

Narrative is currency.
And we’re reclaiming it with every post, every visual, and every download.

This is not entertainment—it’s transformation.
Our media outlet is the spiritual weapon of the VZN Movement.
We expose lies, uplift the truth, and narrate the rise.

We don’t go viral. We are valuable.


Reclaim, Don’t Reform

We are not interested in asking systems to change.
We’re building systems that serve us.

Reform is slow.

 Reclamation is strategic.




Membership as a Movement

Each tier—Seed, Builder, and Legacy—isn’t just a plan.
It’s a contribution to sovereignty.


Every member supports:


  • Land acquisition


  • Trust structure protection


  • Course development


  • Community reinvestment


  • Legal readiness


We don’t have members.
We have
co-architects of a new Black economy.



Building Without Asking

We didn’t wait for permission to create VZN.
We just began.

No grants. No investors. No favors.
Just strategy, sacrifice, and soul.


Public Deception vs Private Ownership

Owning something publicly puts you at risk.
Owning it
through private trusts, holding companies, and layered structures? That’s how we win.

Privacy is power. Ownership is our strategy.



Lawful Sovereignty: Truth in Trust

We’re not sovereign citizens—we’re sovereign strategists.


  • We don’t reject the law—we master it.
  • We don’t fight the IRS—we structure properly.
  • We don’t live off paper fantasies—we build real, audited legacies.




The Empire Is Us

They built Wall Street.
We’re building
Legacy City.


Every vault, policy, form, member, course, and strategy—
is a
stone in the kingdom we’re laying.



From Rejected to Rulers

They rejected us.
Buried our
lineage.
Mocked our
trauma.
Silenced our
prophets.
Robbed our
birthright.

But the rejected stone...
has become the CORNERSTONE.
