michael greer: WE HAVE LOST THE VOICE OF REASON

12/17/2014

0 Comments

 
We have people rioting in the streets, shutting down freeways, burning down neighborhoods but where are the voices of reason? Our leaders and the media are fanning the flames instead of calming them. Our President said there was a history of deep seeded racism in this country, while in truth America is the least racist country in the world.  750,000 young white men died to free the slaves. That is more than the First and Second World Wars combined. If racism were deep seeded in this country, how did we elect a Black President twice with Blacks being only 13.2% of the population?

Black Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton raised her hands and repeated, “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” on the floor of Congress. She said she didn’t know the facts of the Ferguson case and didn’t care about them because there was a bigger issue. What is the bigger issue for her? Does she want to tear down our justice system? Is it perfect? No, there is no such thing as perfect but over the last 238 years it’s been the most just, fairest in the world. What voice of reason is pointing that out?

We have people protesting across the country saying, “Hands Up, don’t shoot” when that is not what happened. Yet, if anyone tries to point out that both Michael Brown and Eric Garner would be alive today had they not resisted arrest, they are shouted down. The police are being blamed not the criminal. Neither case had anything to do with racism and yet that is what the protests are about. There are signs saying, “Black Lives Matter”. Planned Parenthood is using the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. If they didn’t kill 1,876 Black babies a day, the hypocrisy might not be so stunning.

The talking heads say these cases were about an “epidemic” of white police officers killing “unarmed” Black men. They are suggesting unarmed men can’t kill.  Michael Brown is being made into some kind of hero when he robbed a store, roughed up the owner, assaulted a police officer, tried to get his gun and resisted arrest. Juan Williams said the officer should have just driven away. What? When has that been police procedure? When have police been trained to walk away if a suspect resists arrest? Is that what we want? Should the police say, “We’ve already reached our quota of Black arrests, so we’ll just ignore that Black man robbing the bank?”

The media tells us that it is open season on Black men by racist police officers. It has been repeated over and over that the Ferguson police department only had three Black officers and doesn’t reflect the diversity of the community. Did anyone ask why that was? Is it because the Police Department in Ferguson is turning down qualified Black candidates or is it that Blacks don’t apply to be police officers because the Black community raises their children to distrust and hate the police. Has ONE “journalist” asked why there aren’t more Black officers? Did the “journalists” ask if the law abiding Black Community wanted police protection? How many lives police officers save? What exactly is the goal of their portrayal of police officers being racists? Do they want a nationalized police force?

The facts don’t support their narrative.  Blacks are only 13.2% of the population but they commit, according to New York Police Commissioner, Ray Kelly, 70% to 75% of the crimes. The FBI reported in 2009 Blacks (13.2% of the population) committed 433, 934 crimes against Whites, while Whites (77.7% of the population) committed only 53, 685 crimes against Blacks. Blacks commit 72.5% of the homicides. Whites commit 25.3% of the homicides.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States

In 2013 Whites killed 193 Blacks, Blacks killed 448 Whites and Blacks killed 2,447 Blacks. If there is an “epidemic” of Blacks being killed, it isn’t by police officers, it’s by other Blacks. Those saying there is an epidemic of Whites killing Blacks are not the voices of reason.  

Why are there more Blacks in prison? As stated earlier, they commit the majority of the crimes. Why do they commit most of the crimes? Might it be because most of them are fatherless and jobless. What effect has the welfare state had on the Black community? Were Black families better off before welfare? Why is there such a high drop out rate for Blacks?

We are told Blacks receive harsher sentences for the same crimes than Whites. But why might that be true? Is it really due to racism? Sentences are determined by the past record of the convict. With young Blacks having no jobs, due to endless illegal immigration, isn’t it more likely young Black men might commit more crimes?

If they have a record of past crimes, their sentences will be harsher. But the media, Black leaders and, sadly, our Attorney General, neglect to point that out. 

Instead of  talking about how “unfair” the justice system is because so many Blacks are in prison, we need to be talking about why such a high percentage of the Black population commits crimes.

Every single aspect of our system and culture is under attack, but those we look to for voices of reason, for factual information, for perspective, are instead, obfuscating facts and encouraging unrest. Our justice system was designed to apply our laws equally to all, to be blind to race, religion or creed. It’s application may not always be perfect, but it isn’t due to some fault of the system. We don’t need to change the system, we need to follow it.

michael greer: did we win the election?

12/8/2014

Someone please tell me, did Republicans win the last election? Will someone please tell John Boehner because apparently he didn’t get the memo.  We need to tell him we elected Republicans to STOP Obama not HELP him.

Speaker John Boehner is pushing to pass an omnibus budget bill that would, in effect, stop the new Republican Congress from doing anything to stop Obama. They wouldn’t be able to defund anything.  In fact the bill includes funding for illegal alien processing centers. If, as Boehner says, Obama’s executive action is illegal, why would he fund it?

What kind of leaders do Republicans have? We smashed the Democrat party, we have the first Southern Black Conservative Senator, we have no more Southern Democrat Senators and yet, our leadership is willing to accept defeat without even trying?

He and McConnell are saying we can’t risk shutting down the government. Why not? Because the media will blame Republicans? So what? They keep saying if we shut down the government again it will hurt Republicans. Really? The last shut down gained us more Republicans in Congress since 1928.  I say SHUT IT DOWN!! With all the hand wringing that went on during the last shutdown, other than preventing Veterans from visiting monuments, there was no real harm done and it certainly didn’t hurt the Republican party. Is that all it takes for a President to act lawlessly? He just has to threaten to shut down the government?

What really annoys me is that Republican leadership is all too ready to accept the blame for a shut down. The reason for the last shut down was the refusal of the Democrats to negotiate at all. Republicans caved three times until they finally said, OK, we’ll give you the clean CR.  Obama came back and said, Oh, no, that’s not good enough, now we want no debt ceiling. That is the tactic of this administration, not only won’t they negotiate (which is right out of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals), they make unreasonable demands they know Republicans can’t agree to and then blame them for not being willing to “compromise”. 

We need to melt down the phone lines, overwhelm Twitter and Facebook, send them millions of faxes and emails. We need to STOP Boehner, McCarthy, and McConnell from grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.
