Michael Brown: The Joke’s On You America

Here we go again. It seems as though someone has put another quarter in the anarchist in Ferguson, Missouri to cause them to start back up with more chaos. Now the ruckus is supposed to be about the Department of Justice [DOJ] Report of the Ferguson Police Department [FPD]. The report focused on it’s relations with the Black-American community. It claimed the FPD, as reported by the Washington Post,African Americans are impacted a severely disproportionate amount”. But as I read the report of the DOJ it appeared to go out of its way to side with the offenders, who were black. And to totally excuse the individuals behavior. Even if the individuals failed to obey stated rules of the courts, somehow the courts were at fault. The black population in Ferguson may make up over 60% of the population and yet make up nearly 90% of the arrest, the question should be whether the arrest were justified and lawful. If there are more blacks involved in criminal activity, they may be targeted by law enforcement more based on that fact. Then naturally they will be more likely arrested.  I’d like to see what would happened if blacks were to suddenly stop committing crimes. 

One of the most laughable things that the article highlighted was that the city focused on revenue rather than the public safety. That’s the case in every city of the United States. Its not racist for city police departments, or any police department, federal, or State, or city, to focus on raising revenue regardless of the benefit to the public. It’s business. And are there bad cops, or maybe ill-trained cops, absolutely. Every segment of the population has their bad apples. But, this is not what this is all about. This whole divisive and dramatic production is about making the police and authority the villain and criminal – the City Mgr. John Shaw, Municipal Court Judge Ronald Brockmeyer, Police Sgt. William Mudd, Police Capt. Rick Henke, City Court Clerk Mary Ann Twitty, and City Police Chief Tom Jackson have all lost their jobs in the wake of this tragic incident. It is not to say these individuals may have deserved punishment, but these actions totally ignores the actions of the true criminal and offender, 18 year old Michael Brown, a Black-American male. If he had not stolen the box of cigars and assaulted the store owner, he may still be alive. If he had complied with Officer Wilson’s commands, he may still be alive. And if he had not fought with Officer Wilson and attempt to get his weapon, he may still be alive.  He choose to do otherwise.  I call that a “you” problem.

Let us focus on Mr. Brown and the incident that is used as the excuse for all of this. First of all, the DOJ’s own investigation sides with Officer Wilson, according to a NPR March 4, 2015 article, clearly backs Wilson’s version of the incident; second,18 year old Brown was the aggressor in attacking Officer Wilson; third, Brown was not shot in the back, Brown was running toward Wilson, not away, when he was fatally shot; and forth, he [Mr. Brown] did not have his hands up when he was shot. Even Federal Attorney General Holder admitted that the “Hands up, don’t shoot” mantra that has become the rallying cry and marketing phrase of the myrmidons “is a complete falsehood”, as reported by Fox News. All of this flies in direct contrast to what is the popular regurgitated narrative being put out by the Media and the Administration.

But, the most passive observer, with even an ounce of inquisitiveness, should ask… how can so many people, seemingly

The man behind the curtain.

The man behind the curtain.

without a typical 9-5 job, afford to participate in these professionally organized “community” protest that have “organically’ sprung up all to defend the supposed unjust slaying of an 18 year Black-American male in a hence before mostly unknown city in Missouri? As reported by the NewsMax.com., world renowned instigator, billionaire, extreme liberal, American-hater, and major Obama supporter, George Soros invested over $33 MILLION in the protests. How’s that for motivation? I bet that beats flipping burgers for most of the so-called “protestors”.

The masterfully orchestrated propaganda to re-write the events of that day and reshape and distort the view of the masses to depict Police Officer Wilson as the villain, the system as blatantly racist, and the 18 year old Mr. Brown as the “gentle giant” who’s the innocent, is stunning in its depth. It thoroughly legitimizes the notion that a lie can be told enough times that it will soon become the truth to many. To whip up so many citizens on the side of a story that is totally built on lies and deception lends credence to the term “useful idiots” as said by Vladimir Lenin and other Communist and Marxist -when people are used as pawns for a cause whose true agenda and purpose is unknown by them to incite disturbances and social discourse.

If the Black-American community want to genuinely protest something, they could they protest issues such as the epidemic out of wedlock child birth and single parents, mainly women, attempting to raise men and women for whom they are ill-equipped financially, mentally, or spiritually. Maybe they could vehemently protest the dumbing down of the government educational system that leaves blacks, and all Americans, functionally unable to economically achieve their dreams and compete academically on the world stage. Maybe the black community could protest the debilitating effect of the massive influx of low-skilled immigrants, particularly from Mexico, who are removing jobs from the economy that they traditional held. Or maybe the black community could protest the anti-achievement and entitlement mentality that retards many of the youth’s drive to be the best that they can be, while encourages many of them to seek government handouts and privileges. These would have been worthy and genuine issues for the mother of Michael Brown to voice when she spoke a the United Nations Committee Against Torture. But, of course she worked to extend her 15 minutes of fame and spoke of the supposed racial injustice by police. To do otherwise would have exhibited her as being more than a pawn, only able to be pushed one space at a time and easily expendable once her use is no longer needed.

The tragedy of the Michael Brown death has many layers. It has more to do with the systemic cancer that is making us severely ill as a nation: a severe lack of moral grounding and governance. A penal system that makes gross revenue criminalizing its citizenry. An educational system that graduates young citizens unable to capitalize on the extraordinary benefits of the greatest capitalist system in the world and dysfunctional in understanding their proper role and function in this Constitutional Republic; and too many are profiting on the discourse and division of this society – whether its over race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, or income. This tragedy was not caused by Officer Wilson, being Caucasian, shooting and killing 18 year old Brown just because he was black. This tragedy, and many others less publicized that are occurring out of sight of hot media cameras, is stark evidence that the cancer has successfully dulled our naturally instinct to courageously fight for real truth, to be curious of the intent of those in power, to be respectful of ourselves, and to be honorable to our neighbor.

The joke is that many of us are being lead blindly to believe that it is the American system that is in error, and not those who enact and enforce, or fail to enforce, the policies thereof, that are in error. But, as in the supposed fight against all cancers or dis-eases, the money is not in the cure, but the so-called treatment. The tragic error is in too many people believing that the system that was founded on the ideal that every individual has unalienable rights of freedom and has been the source of more wealth for individuals around the world than another in modern history is the cause of their suffering.  Then the alternative action is the opposite system- tyranny. At the end of the day it is up to us to chose the punch line.

The Events Of Ferguson & New York Is Evidence Of Greater Issues Of Concern For Black America

lowenstein-ferguson2With all of the days and weeks of chaos and well-orchestrated disturbances blowing up across the nation, all supposedly to protest the acquittal of a Caucasian police officer over the tragic death of a Black-American young man in an obscure city in Missouri, and another acquittal of a Caucasian New York City policeman for the unfortunate tragic death of a Black-American man, even the most passive bystander has to question, though these deaths were tragic, is the extreme level of protest on behalf of the two deaths, who were both suspected in engaging in unlawful acts, truly warranted? And most importantly, aren’t there more substantive issues that is as worthy of such wall to wall Media coverage, attention, and protest from high level Congressmen, the President, black athletes, and black clergy, regarding the plight of blacks in America? In particularly issues regarding black youths, such as the record underemployment, unemployment, and labor participation rate, the epidemic of black on black homicide, the high out-of-wedlock pregnant rate, that is a direct result of 1960’s federal law baring the father from living in the same home of the mother receiving welfare, the anti-achievement mentality, and the negative effects of Mr. Obama’s economic policies, regarding the unprecedented spike in the federal spending and debt and the enabling of a mass flood of millions of low to mid skilled foreigners into a employment environment that is already depressed.
In a perverted sense of cruel irony, in the same week in which the Ferguson Grand Jury released its verdict and gave cover for the start of the violence, Mr. Obama circumvented the law-making body of the Congress and made like he actually did not swear an oath to uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution and ordered virtually all enforcement of laws regarding illegal immigrants null and void. There has not been barely peep of protest from the very citizenry that will be most effected, the youths and low to middle-income level Black-Americans. There has been no press conferences from any member of the Congressional Black Caucus. No rhyming statements of discuss or injustice from Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton. No wall to wall news reports on the crippling ramifications that the defacto legalization of millions of low skilled and middle skilled foreigners will have on the nation’s wages and the availability of jobs for blacks with their unemployment and labor participation levels that are already at critical levels long since seen. The certain horrific consequences of Mr. Obama’s dictatorial act on the black community is so trivial to Mr. O that he boasted during a public stump that the only people who has a right to gripe regarding his actions on immigration are the “Native Americans.” Really? What about the rest of Americans? In particularly those Black-Americans who sheepishly supported both of your elections to be president?
The train of goodies that was to be bestowed on the American blacks due to the much hyped carination of the first true African-American seems to have been placed on the track for [OTBA] other than Black-American; especially if you are from south of the Rio Grande and can quickly increase the nation’s negative birthrate and degrade the nation’s living standards.
Mr. O’s election will be viewed historically as the dream that turned into the never-ending nightmare for the Black-American community. The events of Ferguson, New York, and many less reported needless and senseless deaths of young black youth, has more to do with the depressed economic situation in the minority community. The fact that these two men found themselves on the unfortunate end of an encounter with law officers is the result and consequences of bad political policies and bad economic situation.
Though we should not ignore the gross level of bad judgement, bad choices, and lack of personal responsibility exhibited by these particular individuals, but nor should the effects of generations of disadvantageous political actions at the federal level and the  government’s move toward a secularize society that have crippled economic growth and family unity, not just in the Black-American community, but nation as a whole. But, we as a nation need to demand accountability not just from ourselves, but from those elected to serve us and who sworn to work towards our general welfare as a whole. And not allow ourselves to get distracted by the theatre that is being program to incite self-destruction and instill in us the notion that we can not get along, can not succeed, or can not prosper without the mighty hand of the government. In most cases, the very origin of what ills this nation is too much government social engineering.
History will look back at the election of Mr. Obama and ask, how the nation may have benefited if he was more American than African, believed more in building America than transforming it, was more of Martin Luther King or Ronald Reagan and less of Mao Zedong and Saul Alinsky, and was more driven by ways to bring the nation together rather than tear it apart?
The tragic events of Ferguson and New York were indeed tragic. But the tenders for this tragedy were laid long before, unrealized by most.  As we witness our nation being set ablaze by hands unseen, it is up to each of us to be still for moment , to ask not only what is happen, but really and truly why is it happening, and how did we get to this point? Until we clearly identify those with dirty hands and the origin, and again stand firmly on moral ground, the smoldering embers will only sit until another arsonist lays a match to it once again. The choice is ours.

 

Ferguson Shines A Stunning Light On the Crippling Reality Of The Politics Of Racial Economic Division In America Under The Reign Of U.S’s First African American President

The picture of the tragedy in Ferguson is not all that needs to been seen.

The picture of the tragedy in Ferguson is not all that it appears to be.

After viewing weeks of near wall to wall news coverage by the Establishment Media of tragic killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO., there is one thing that I believe to be certain, and that is that again what we are being led to believe to be the truth is as far from the truth as the Earth is from Pluto.

The one thing that can cause Americans to become completely emotionally immerse and distracted are matters involving Race; particularly if it involves Caucasian verses the so-called African-American. And our emotional triggers have been seemingly extra sensitive since Mr. Obama, the first true African-American, has taken the seat of the President of the United States, to the point of near paralysis.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be more racial strife under this Administration than any in recent history, without any real provocation or explanation? From the issue with the Harvard college professor, the Trayvon Martin shooting case, the fact the nation’s highest ranking law enforcer, Atty.  Gen. Holder, seems to more vigorously measures the scales of justice to tilt more if the victim is black than white, to today’s new distraction in Ferguson, the issue of race has become more an extraordinary deformative issue these past 6 or so years.

Interestingly, as in the Trayvon matter, Mr. O has sought to interject himself in this recent matter involving a black male shooting by a white person. He sides publicly on that of the black male before the proper course of law and justice have been given its opportunity to run its course.  I can remember the Rodney King violence came after the verdict of the trial at least.
But this appears to be a method of operation with Mr. Obama not just here at home, but for matters of unrest in foreign lands too. For example, Egypt during the Mubarak protest and in other parts of the Mid-East, the so-called Arab Spring; in Libya when Qadhafi was attempting to combat domestic militant uprisings; in Israel’s conflicts with Hamas in the Gaza Strip; and here in the States, with Occupy Wall Street.  He has yet to find a social or political disturbance to publicly speak on where the authority is definitively in the right. He always sides with the mob or the anarchist. Interesting. What happened to the days of first siding with those first who are more likely to defend us from the mob, the shooters, or the anarchist, before we take the side of the mob, the shooters, or the anarchist? Maybe it’s what comes from being a community organizer.  Mr. O’s real talent is seemingly focused on organizing dis-order all over the world.

In the Ferguson tragedy there has been an exorbitant amount of energy spent on identifying the skin color of the shooter and the young man who was shot, and making it the focal point, rather than the reason why the shooting occurred in the first place. There is an effort to paint the black man as an innocent victim who was without provocation slain by a racist white police officer in broad day light. Yet the Media shows no interest in reporting the condition of the officer or his side of the event. All of this noise, chaos, violent protest, and drama being displayed by protestors, as well as elected officials, is in defense of the dead black man … before there has been an indictment handed down from the Grand Jury to determined if there has even been a wrong done legally, for there to be a case or trial. What if this were a young white man shot and killed by a white cop or a young black man shot and killed by a black cop, would we be viewing the same actions? Would Mr. Obama had even known the participants names? When has Mr. O or Mr. Holder mentioned anything about the hundreds of black youths slain by other blacks in the streets in Mr. O’s adopted home town of Chicago? Or when has he used his pulpit to draw attention on the increase in black on white assaults that’s spreading across that nation unabated?  Where is the wall to wall news coverage on these stories?

The real untold tragedy of Ferguson has to do with the fact the too many young black youths are not involved in the work force nor in the higher education system. The labor participation rate amongst blacks is at historic lows. The incomes of black households have declined greatly over the past 11 years. The number of out-of-wedlock children born in the black community is nearly 80%. At the same time we have an U.S Administration that grossly promotes high government regulation that drives high paying, low-skilled entry manufacturing jobs out oft he inner-cities and the country, expanding government dependency that reduces the incentive to do for self, as with Obamacare, and the importation of hoards of low-skilled foreign immigrants that does nothing but lessens job opportunities at livable wages for young blacks, and other Americans in general.

To get as a true idea of the truly perverted fixation that this Administration has on this incident and race, there were 4 Administration representatives at the funeral of the slain youth, who the jury is still out on whether or not he was totally innocent.  Yet, the Administration failed to send 1 representative to the funeral of General Greene, who was gunned down by Afhgan soldier, the first U.S General to be killed in a foreign conflict since Vietnam.  The presence of the Administration at two of the events could’ve highlights the nation’s solidarity and pride in the nation for the world to see, friend and foe.  He chose to highlight the one that highlights our division and our ugliness instead.  Interesting.

No this event did not happen in a vacuum. It is the consequences of decades of government social engineering that has created a psychologically dependent Black-American class with an extreme gross sense of entitlement; that have left black men, as well as women, searching for their proper roles; a decimated family and moral structure; and a society, due to unchecked unrestrained political correctness, disarmed with the ability to correct improper and socially destructive behavior.

The tragedy of Ferguson, is one that which is being played out all over the nation in the shadows. And it’s not about race, but economics.  It’s about how decades of liberal progressive governmental policies have left generations of citizens, particularly Black-American, socially dysfunctional.  It’s about how economics and race are being used masterfully by this Administration to divide the nation.  It’s all cloaked by a complicit Media, that no longer seeks to tell nor show the true story and inform nor educate- rather it seeks to enrich its pockets, distort and manipulate the story, and enhance its own progressive liberal agenda. But this story won’t remain in the shadows for much longer before we are all feeling its negative presence.  But it is up to us to question with boldness the reason why things are happening and stop just accepting what is presented for us.
