A Message to Ferguson: You Are Fighting The Wrong Battle
Politics / US Politics Nov 26, 2014 - 10:31 AM GMTTensions in the US are high. Hundreds of millions of people have been extorted and many have been kidnapped and beaten. People are frustrated and demanding answers, and to find them they are looking to.... authority figures?
They've been well-trained. But it is not with these authority figures true liberation lies. It would be better for us all, as individuals, to look deep inside ourselves and find an inner calm that runs in all living beings and recognize the true terrorists.
For now, it seems, we are not at that point, still obsessed with poking holes in each other with guns and burning and stealing other people's stuff. Reason and calm, collected minds are needed in the US more than ever. Unfortunately, the people there have been under seige for decades and brainwashed in public indoctrination camps.
The "decision" was announced last night regarding the investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown by a man on welfare, Ferguson police overseer Darren Wilson. According to St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch, another man on welfare, "They determined that no probable cause exists to file any charge against Officer Wilson, and returned a ‘No True Bill’ on each of the five indictments.”
Michael Brown's parents stated, “We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions. While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.”
A small tip: you can't "fix" the "system". Either you bow to your enslavement or you rise up, mentally, and disavow anything to do with it.
The panel met for 70 hours, hearing from 60 witnesses and were ultimately “the only people who heard every witness … and every piece of evidence.” As soon as the decision was made public, anger erupted.
Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama, pleaded for calm in the districts. Still, "rioters overtook streets in the St. Louis suburb and cable TV broadcasts showed them setting fires and attacking police cars." Obama said anger is an "understandable reaction" from people who think "the law is being applied in a discriminatory fashion."
Of course, when you are upset and angry over being owned by sociopaths the natural reaction, if you've been indoctrinated into communism and fascism is to burn other decent people's stuff.
"What we need to do is try to understand them," el Presidente said. "There is no excuse for violence...Those who are only interested in violence and just want the problem to go away should realize that we have work to do here."
Laughable from one of the most murderous people on Earth...
The events which unfolded overnight gave birth to numerous images from a new Amerika, very different from the America everyone has historically been told exists:
Some men in the street said the scene reminded them of a third world banana republic.
Many looters burned property, which surely had no chance of bringing justice or Michael Brown's life back:
It was not merely cars they were burning:
Overnight, the drama increased. In Oakland highways and streets were closed:
Those who are partaking in any semblance of a debate are talking about rampant racism in the US... that's what they want us to think. The government isn't the problem, it is people with different colored skin.
But what happened in Ferguson had a lot less to do with race than many think. Instead, it had to do with a different sort of "Ism" - statism. Statism does not care about whether you are black, a woman, a white male, a cat, it will kill you, steal from you, lie to you in a truly equal manner. In that way, the government is great at equality.
But without government it would be disorder and chaos... right?
