Be aware and beware.

Under the sham umbrella of Marxist BLM, the rioters, terrorists and socialist-driven anarchists push and push and push. They burn and pillage. Tear down historical markers. They kill. Very likely, one day, maybe a day right around the corner, one more push will “break the camels back.” That day already may have come to pass in D.C. when Mayor Muriel Bowser commissioned a far-left committee to list historical monuments and school names that needed to go away, to be eliminated from existence. (some of those named by that committee are The Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial). That day already may have come when 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse decided to take his AR15 to a Kenosha street riot and ended up shooting three attackers, killing one. BTW, Kyle today sits in lock-up and his attackers (the living ones) are free and clear. Sound familiar? Another push on another day, some random Bobby Lee Swagger impersonator will say, “That fries it,” and take it upon himself, unlike Rittenhouse, to retaliate, but unseen and unknown, with deadly force. He will secrete himself, choose and take out a terrorist target, perhaps two or three, or even half a dozen. His action will be called a “seminal” moment that unleashed America’s 2nd “Civil War.” Congressional leaders and federal, state and local officials better get their act together, Matilda. There’s nothing BLM would like more than violent retaliation that results in more chaos that leads to widespread black deaths that prove their racist narrative. And what does it matter to them if hundreds or even thousands of black and white citizens die or suffer catastrophic injuries? Destabilizing America further is well worth the price, to further the Marxist end game. It’s the oldest game in town. Anyhow, nobody, especially BLM, has ever cared about black lives, especially in major cities. Why start now? You have a better idea. Uncharacteristically, today you stand with the Socialist Democrat Party,  BLM lovers  and the Leftist community in general who want to de-fund the Police. Now that’s a nifty idea. Nobody likes the police, anyway. But a de-fund, band-aid strategy will never rid Law Enforcement from systemic racism, brutality and corruption. A far better idea is to eliminate law enforcement altogether. This strategy would solve many of America’s ills. The Black Community will never have to suffer from the racist brutality and murderous instincts of white cops. Poof, that argument goes away. Without question, black neighborhoods  will be safe without police harassment. Right? By abolishing law enforcement, America’s cities annually will save 200 billion. Getting rid of cops will motivate individual citizens of all races to finally stop playing wimpish victims — to step up and protect themselves, their families, homes and businesses. Responsible for their own safety, law abiding citizens, black and white alike, will organize, arm and train themselves. Without law enforcement, the court system eliminates its notorious backlog of cases. Eventually, prisons have empty cells. Some are shut down. Criminals certainly won’t go away but many more of them will die in action or spend months in rehab, without plea deals and so-called due process. God knows what attorneys will do. Drug users won’t go to prisons. Left to their habits, they eventually become casualties. Easily identified, drug pushers suffer street justice. Funeral Home Corporations become hot commodities on Wall Street. Street justice is never a good idea but let’s get real — police rarely prevent crime. They respond to calls and attempt to administer slow and immensely costly justice. Each year, 250,000 murders go unsolved. And each year that number escalates. Who said crime doesn’t pay? And while governments look away, who pays victims for the BLM sponsored destruction of property and lives? Everybody wants an answer. There’s only one, Gertrude. American people who believe in America’s founding principles must finally get up, speak up and stand up — to protect themselves against BLM and other symbols of tyranny. The Federal Government won’t do it. State Governments don’t do it. City Governments are curfew happy. The police are handcuffed. Face it, people — if you stand down, you deserve the outcome.

Edmund Burke famously put it another way: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good (people) to do nothing.

Anyone who believes that a Perfect Storm of coincidental, unrelated events is tearing America apart is an ill-fated idiot. If you think the governmental conduct of COVID 19, the sweeping embrace of BLM and the rampage of anarchists have no political agenda, you are an accessory to nothing less than treason. Pretty strong condemnation, at the very least. How dare you? Lots of good people would accuse you of undeserved character assassination. True. Guilty as charged. It’s the same kind of condemnation the world heaped on rank and file Germans who stood by as a minority of Brown Shirt anarchists intimidated, rioted, murdered, ripped apart a country and committed mass genocide. No, of course it’s not the same. In the late 1930’s, Germans were still suffering the economic deprivation of their World War I sins. They had an “alibi” for their indifference to Evil. Adolph gave them hope for a better life. Tragically, millions died for that “better life.” Conversely, a few short months ago, America’s domestic future was shining brightly under Trump’s economic policies. Democrat voters and Never Trumpers curled their bitter lips at the notion of his success but they couldn’t and still can’t deny the evidence — of progress and prosperity. So, it seems reasonable to ask: what justification do mobs have for inciting violence and tearing down the symbols of America’s past — both its glories and its dishonors? You will tell any black person face to face that it has nothing to do with systemic racism. Or that BLM has anything to do with black lives. You will say face to face that black deprivation has everything to do with the most fundamental of all causes — black culture. That assertion will inflame most African Americans. Sorry for that. No longer can the Black Community blame the White Community for anything. That game is over. The victim game is over. And the black & white leaders in politics, sports and entertainment who fuel the Big Lie are the most despicable people on the planet. No, take that back. The most shameful of the lot are major corporations, the leaders of all the virtue signalers out there who fall on their knees — bowing and scraping to reap the loyalty of nearly 50 million black buyers.* Any African American with any self respect and a brain would be contemptuous of that crowd of yellow bellies. George Floyd was nothing more than a BLM convenience. He was the perfect pretext for a Marxist reign of terror. Leftwing organizations like BLM thrive on chaos, violence and mob rule. The story is as old as humanity itself. BLM has nothing to do with black lives. BLM, and the Democrat Party for that matter, couldn’t care less about black lives. It’s a scam. In fact, the evidence proves exactly what they do believe: Black Lives Don’t Matter. Because if they did, thousands of African Americans wouldn’t be dying in major cities run by Democrats. The black communities in those cities prove one thing: that Black lives are expendable, in or out of the womb. Therefore, you must ask yourself: why do African Americans lie down every night, night after night, in the Democrat bed? There’s no sensible, practical answer to that question. So you must turn to a psychological explanation. You compare African Americans to physically or mentally abused spouses who makes excuses to stay with their brutish husbands. They stay with the enemy they know; they pay the heavy price for stability and security — a form of tyranny. But don’t think for a minute that black Americans are the only ones who submit to a coercive existence. All Americans submit to their government bosses. The Governor of your state shuts down the economy, creating irreparable damage, hardship and suffering. The Governor picks winners and losers — which businesses may remain open and which must close. He shuts church doors and opens abortion rooms. He mandates that business employees and customers must wear masks. You submit. He stands down to allow mobs to destroy private and public property. Under his dictatorship, pharmacies may not fill doctor-prescribed hydrochloroquine for patients who want to self medicate. Meanwhile, Media has only one objective — to spread Covid fear as a death sentence, to keep schools closed and keep the economy in handcuffs. Meanwhile, social media networks ban the free speech of frontline doctors who not only prove that hydrochloroquine is the drug of choice to subdue Covid19, but also claim that thousands of Americans have died needlessly. No one can believe federal or state governments would have deprived sick people of a useful drug. That accusation sounds like another far fetched conspiracy. You bet it does, Matilda. Connect the dots. Covid19 chaos. City street chaos. Economic chaos — all designed to do one thing: bring down Donald Trump’s presidency. Since 2015, Deep State operators have pulled out every dirty trick to scuttle DT. When impeachment failed, they fell back on the classic Marxist strategy — create fear, bloodshed and economic devastation. Put the media in charge of spreading misinformation and disinformation. The strategy relies on your submission. Sad as hell to say, it’s working.

It’s easy to understand why human beings subconsciously walk around in fear, mired in one form of dysfunction or another. Rather frantically, they busy themselves in work, in various forms of play, in social interactions and intimacies, to avoid looking down the barrel of a gun. Well, that’s a touch melodramatic, isn’t it? “Barrel of a gun” is just a trite metaphor. More explicitly, what human beings avoid is staring at the ever present specter of death — avoid thinking about the eventual deaths of loved ones and ultimately their own deaths. The energetic and healthy among them understandably brush aside such gloom. You know, those fleeting thoughts, those transitory thoughts, of mortality. And why shouldn’t they? Unlike those unfortunate American teenagers of many generations who faced death on hundreds of battlefields, today’s teens and young adults see decades stretching out in front of them. Decades of opportunity. Decades of accomplishment. Decades of joy and love. Decades of the latest new devices.  And, according to Henry David Thoreau, decades that promise “lives of quiet desperation.” Oops. Henry didn’t mince words. He was a solitary sort, always a bit somber. You can’t blame him. He died from tuberculosis during the first year of the Civil War. He was just 44. You can understand why he knew something about “desperation.” In his day, Death was always at hand, waiting, and not too patiently. In 2020, Americans have no clue, not a glimmer, of what life was like before this age of instant gratification. Even so, Thoreau’s generation and today’s generations do have one thing exactly in common — it’s called Survival. For humans, Life itself doesn’t differentiate between plenty and privation. As an individual, you may experience God’s gifts — love as a child, love as an adult, love as a parent, pride of accomplishment, periods of exhilaration and contentment and moments of spiritual awakening. But, wherever you stack up — at the top or bottom of the food chain — suffering in this Life is your only guarantee. For reasons often divined by clergy but nonetheless unknown, God set things up to assure you a lifetime of hardship, fear and eventual anguish. No one is spared. No one escapes. Many try. They use alcohol and opioids to escape unrelenting apprehension. Others lash out in anger and resentment. Still others opt for the final solution to get the hell out of Dodge. Thankfully, the majority grits its collective teeth and takes whatever Life dishes out, determined to survive, however desperately. Civilization depends on them. Not since the 2nd World War has that desperation been more apparent than now. People blame a virus that has put Americans out of work, shattered small business and put families at risk. Simultaneously, George Floyd’s killing was a convenient excuse to fuel a wave of politically directed terrorism and anarchy. Instead of unifying a country, the ensuing crisis has driven an iron wedge between races, between governmental factions, between neighbors and between once respected institutions. Individual liberty has given way to the tyranny of group identity and the dictatorship of governmental bodies. Once again fear is epidemic in the world and authoritarianism is a looming shadow. You would think God has had His fill of human Idiocy and Sin. However improper, you think He should reconsider His original strategy. With all due respect, He might evaluate cutting humanity a little slack. Of all His creatures, humans must continually contemplate their eventual demise, must knowingly adapt to the ravages of age, must learn to survive the loss of children and the physical torment of loved ones. Not to suggest you’re entirely ungrateful. Not at all. God’s gifts are boundless. But, with all due respect, he could have allowed humans 60 years of perfect health and a swift end — say, the spiritual version of term limits. No fear of pandemics. No concern for catastrophic illness. No need for hospitals, Continuing Care Communities, rehab and ventilators. On your birthday, have a party, pour your favorite libation (a double), thank everybody, do a handspring and slip out the door. Fantasy aside, it’s possible God is simply waiting for humans to get it right. But last you heard, Vegas doesn’t bother giving odds on futility. On balance, you admit to being miffed at the double standard. God created millions of varieties of life that live instinctively — creatures that fly, swim, crawl, burrow and walk — without cognition — unable to brood over death. For humans, He reserved cognitive power — to live in fear, to grieve, to suffer broken bodies and minds and die with difficulty. By stark contrast, a Mayfly is “born,” flies around looking for mates, finds them, does the big trick several times and dies happy in a matter of hours. You should be so lucky.
