”TRUTH IS” WHEN FOUNDED ON ‘ACTUAL FACTS’ OUR NATION SHALL HAVE NO ‘FEAR’’
First & Foremost, TRUTH IS that all people who read this Post, I ask your Humility toward the “FEAR Picture” and my sharing of a “Personal interpretation” in the View of our “Nation through my eyes ONLY.” I Believe in God. These are times made by God, and the “HOLY SPIRIT” tells me to “Rejoice! Rejoice! All is well with me and my House!
My HOPE is for a SPARK OF BELONGING TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF. In cases of a “LACK OF HUMILITY,” these are American Citizens with guaranteed rights in the USA; under a NATION OF LAWS. America’s founders extolled a nation of laws, for they knew that only a fairly enforced legal system could protect liberty and property against corruption and tyranny. NEARLY TWO AND A HALF CENTURIES LATER, THAT SYSTEM REMAINS THE ULTIMATE SAFEGUARD FOR US ALL.
Some of the “Present and ongoing” Challenges and Uncertainties of our Present Time are too Numerous to count. To name a few of the favorites of “Our News Media,“ are Black Lives Matter ▬ Black patriotism after George Floyd’s death, the Dreadful Corona Virus – 19, the Economic Downturn, and our Upcoming Election 2020. I will talk about these Subjects in the quality of being actual or based on fact; “the realm of factuality must be distinguished from the realm of imagination” factualness. quality – an essential and distinguishing attribute of something or someone; “the quality of mercy is not strained”–Shakespeare.
The FACTS I am to begin with are, TRUTH IS, whatever you place your “Focus on” the MOST, you give your STRENGTH to (Person, Place, or Thing). The Main thing is that you can “BELIEVE” in the Word of God. JOHN 8:32 (KJV), And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Believe the Word of God in the Book of MARK 7:21 (KJV), For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, and the Book of JEREMIAH 10:23 (KJV), O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. JOHN 3:19 (KJV), And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. The ”EVIL” in heart of Derek Chauvin as he killed George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota that day is the DARKNESS OF EVIL that he loves. This Darkness lives in the HEARTS of each and every one of us as told above in the Book of Mark. As told in the Book of John above; that light (Jesus) is come into the world. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
I will declare that for this purpose the TRUTH IS that the “BLACK MAN of our NATION” is the PROPOSITION for the “Tell All & End All” to Front and Center of “RACISM.” The era of the “Thirteen Colonies” birthed “Anarchy” that ushered in the Tyranny of “Slavery.” In this Modern Time; Slavery is still a riveted theme when harmony among the White Race and Black Race in America’s society is being discussed (Religion, Race). DEFINITION OF SLAVE: a “Black Person” held in servitude as the chattel of a “White Person.” The main characteristic of slavery in America is its racial basis because all slaves were Africans, and all Africans were slaves, which placed the label of inferiority on black skin and on African people, thus the Black Race. At this time; America had only one Race the White People who are convinced of white superiority and black inferiority, because slaves are considered as and treated as the chattel (personal property) of an owner which were bought and sold as commodities. The American Civil War, waged during the years 1861 to 1865, pitted the Confederate States of America (slave states) against the Union. This war had its origin deeply rooted in the fractious issue of slavery, and the four years of bloody combat resulted in the deaths of over 600,000 American citizens and destroyed much of the South’s infrastructure which caused the Confederacy to collapse, and slavery determined by the Confederacy, was abolished.
TRUTH IS Era of Reconstruction was the most turbulent and controversial times in American history. It provided for the co-mingling of the Civil Rights of the White Race and the newly freed Black Race where all State’s rights were under the power of the Federal Government to guarantee complaince with the order to restore national unity. It witnessed America’s first experiment in interracial democracy. Just as the fate of slavery was central to the meaning of the Civil War, the 13th (1865), [freed the slaves], the 14th (1868) [made the slaves citizens], and the 15th (1870) [gave the freed men the right to vote] amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America were central to the permanent end to slavery—and was aimed to prevent semi-slavery status among southern states. The Reconstruction era was relevant back then, and still remains relevant today because of the issues central to it – the role of the federal government in protecting the ‘Black citizens’ rights, and promote economic and racial justice – which, as of to date, are still unresolved because White public appointees are forced to obey the structure of Laws.
TRUTH IS that American Civil War memory crystallized the shaping of regional identity and racial hatred in any and all issues of Black Race relations among the White Race in the South. Their political legacies flowed from the political movements called the “Redeemers,” derived from Southern ideology of White men as explained in text books of their History where the Lincoln government during “Reconstruction era” was overthrown to restore White Supremacy which paved the way for “Segregation” through abject terrorism of the Black Race in order to control them. The centuries of injustice, malfeasance, outright race-based terrorism designed for Annihilation of the “Black Race” reigned supreme in the early years through the “Jim Crow Laws,” “Ku Klux Klan” as Led by the “Redeemers,” in league with another southern elite.
In my opinion, TRUTH IS that the Book titled the “King Years” is MUST READ for every “School-Aged” child in AMERICA. A modern day American author and historian named Taylor Branch got it right. He used the term “misremembering” as in failed memory and faulty memory as to Race Relations between the White and Black races. I’ve heard former President George W. Bush use this term many times in recent day history. Taylor Branch says the American people belief system is stuck in the pervasive sense of shared or stunted perception of some parts of our history when it comes to Slavery. In his book chronicling the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. titled the “King Years” he wrote, “On January 1963, George Wallace took office as the Governor of Alabama, and famously pronounced that he would defend segregation today, segregation tomorrow, and defend segregation forever.” He was speaking for a caste system of separation of the white and Black Races that was pervasive throughout the laws and the state constitutions of all the seven southern states and in many institutions and cultural institutions across the country. This was separation strictly by Race as with the “Jim Crow” laws that governed “segregation” for the White Race. George Wallace pledged to defend segregation forever to maintain superiority of the White Race; and made it respectable to curse the process of equal rights and play to the fears and resentments that dwelled in the conscious of the White Race. His statements, “pointed headed bureaucrats” who wanted to tell us how to run our business and who we could go to school with were in cahoots with the biased national media that had a racial agenda to help pointed headed liberals and “tax and spends liberals” concentrate all effective power of the central Government in Washington, D.C. This cynical and blind attitude toward the possibility of democracy was steeped in the political movements of the “The Redeemers,” which redeemed the South and facilitated the reunification of the North and the South, in order to excuse the “virulent racism” of the 19th century, while sacrificing the ‘Black citizens’ progress to a white man’s reunification. To this day, to most of the White Race, the term “Black Race” has the power over their willful unconsciousness that have turned their whole sense of perception upside down. This cynicism has mobilized vociferously across the nation, particularly the southern states and has defended “segregation” against any and all forces of freedom. In 1964, some 50-plus years ago; the Civil Right movement and Segregation was at an impasse. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s concept of equal souls and equal votes with one foot in the Biblical scripture and one foot in the Constitution of the United States of America was face-to-face with the power of white men whose beliefs were tools of social conditioning borne in knowledge from “The Redeemers” whose hatred and deep-rooted Racism turned the tide of America’s Political Government to these White men. That window for change in history was lost. Branch says, “The Republican Party turned against the spiritual base of Democracy; which was half the movement’s inspiration and of Dr. King’s magnificent formula for equal souls and votes. At the Democratic Convention of 1964, the Republican Party, known as the Party of Lincoln which included 13-African-American Delegates, the “Daddy King’s Generation” known as the Black & Tan Republicans, were kicked out of the Republican National Convention. Barry Goldwater had announced that he would vote against the 1964 Civil Rights Act, not for Racial reasons but because it was the “usurpation” of State’s rights. Instantly, a new Southern Republican Party, made up of southern White men, sprang forth and took dominance over the National Republican Party along the lines of George Wallace’s rhetoric, which was passed down to them. The Mississippi Freedom Democrats, claimed unfairness, and walked out of the National Convention. Carl Sanders and John Connally called President Lyndon Johnson and threatened a Southern walkout if those two symbolic Democratic seat were left in because it will turn the party over to the ‘Negras’ and letting Martin Luther King make decisions as to who can be Democrats.” Without any public acknowledgement those acts turned the partisans structure of the political system of United States of America upside down and it remains that way to date. The Civil Rights movement pressed the assurances of the promise of democracy. It is the “Essence of Patriotism” which confronted systems that deny people the use of their natural strengths that comes together to benefit everyone.
The main PROPOSITION of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (Nation of Laws); is the concept of it being “a nation of laws, not a nation of men.” “A nation of laws” means that laws, not people, rule. Article VI of United states Constitution states, Constitution, and the Laws of the United States shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all treaties made under the Authority of the United States, shall be the “Supreme Law of the Land.” The wide legal and moral gap between First Amendment–protected activity is in constant Conflict. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” This language restricts government’s ability to constrain the speech of citizens. The Legally protected PROTEST Is safe. It’s consistent with the best traditions of American dissent. It’s truly what “democracy looks like.” Mob action, by contrast, is dangerous. It creates imminent risk of personal harm. It’s designed to frighten and intimidate. There is no place for the mob in a constitutional republic. The Court has decided that the First Amendment provides less than full protection to commercial speech, defamation (libel and slander), speech that may be harmful to children, speech broadcast on radio and television (as opposed to speech transmitted via cable or the Internet), and public employees’ speech. Everyone is to be governed by the same laws, regardless of their station; whether it is the most common American or members of Congress, high-ranking bureaucrats or the president of the United States; all must be held to the just laws of America.
TRUTH IS the Attitude of many American People have been too long and too far from the MELTING POT symbol (Races “melting together” with into a common culture) where the fusion of nationalities, cultures and ethnicities to form a homogeneous Society and become more heterogeneous through the influx of foreign elements. In my OPINION: The ills of Job outsourcing of U.S. companies, Sequestration under President Obama’s Administration, the effects of Economic Downturns with Government Shutdowns, the near Recession Conditions, which highlighted the “Economic Divide” (especially Gross Income & Unemployment Rates) between the White and Black Races based solely on RACISM. The Democrat Party loss of the 2016 Presidential election is in-group favoritism and out-group hostility. That outcome was a big surprise to many, as the majority of polls had predicted the opposite outcome. Before the election, Republicans showed greater in-group favoritism than Democrats, who treated others equally, regardless of their political affiliation. The Democrats experienced the election outcome as an “Ego Shock” and following the election higher levels of negative emotions and lower levels of self-esteem created a DARKNESS OF MEAN SPIRITEDNESS throughout our Nation. Some of our “National Media” joined Forces with the Democratic Party which created “Media bias in the United States.” US media systematically skews information, such as reporting news in a way that conflicts with standards of professional journalism or promoting a Political agenda through entertainment media. Claims of outlets, writers, and stories exhibiting both have increased as the two-party system has become more polarized. There is also bias in reporting to favor the corporate owners, and mainstream bias, a tendency for the media to focus on certain “hot” stories and ignore news of more substance. These Structures of HATEFUL ATTITUDES and WIDESPREAD ANGER in American politics is directed at our President Donald Trump and the portion American People who openly support His Administration. This ACTION furthered the partisan move by the Democrats to impeach President Trump in a blatant abuse of constitutional authority. This Condition manifests itself in OVER-THE-TOP VITRIOLIC RHETORIC and establishes POLITICAL MOBS in our Society. This spreads through a Congress where the rowdy MOB MENTALITY & GROUP THINK displays an obliteration of MORAL VALUES which sweeps away GOODWILL toward many of our American People. They instinctively adapted the “DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO UNTO ME” attitude and become motivated to champion such behavior as their GROUP DIRECTS; (disrespectful, rude, unpleasant, inappropriate, and unprofessional) which causes hurt feelings and distresses, disturbs, and/or offends others. Uncivil Behavior: Rude, impolite, discourteous behavior that displays a lack of regard for others.
TRUTH IS February 2020; American Scientists reported the source of Coronavirus (COVID-19) as “Unknown.” And now so called Experts on Coronavirus (COVID-19) constantly fills the “Air Waves” and speaks ad nauseam about rising deaths tolls and the Destruction it will cause. Our radio and Television Stations (“News Media”) shows images of dead bodies, announcements of mass cancellations of public events, and outbreak of respiratory illness worldwide, which causes an overreaction to coronavirus fears. This over-reaction created the phenomenon of “FEAR CONTAGION,” when people are “Responding with fear in face of danger.”
IMPACT OF FEAR AND ANXIETY
Our “News Media” constantly fans the “Flames” of “Fear Contagion” that spreads faster than the dangerous yet invisible virus. Watching or hearing someone else who’s scared causes you to be frightened, too, without necessarily even knowing what caused the other person’s fear. The inherent “Danger” is that so called Experts on Coronavirus (COVID-19) bolden their “Diatribes” with googled “Optics of Virus Infection Models” and resorts to “Phisolosyphing and “Forecasting” doom and Gloom.” This robs some of the citizenry of all Hope which leads to “Deaths Of Despair” from suicide from abject poverty stricken, alcohol, and drug abuse. As cases of COVID-19 proliferate, there’s a pandemic of FEAR unfolding alongside the pandemic of the coronavirus. More general breakdowns in moral behavior occur in psychopaths, who routinely engage in manipulative, self-serving behaviors with no regard for others.
TRUTH IS that Months of quarantine and financial insecurity, and decades of police brutality and racial injustice collided in a perfect storm of anger, chaos, and frustration across the US and the world, following the death of George Floyd while in police custody on Memorial Day. The outpouring of grief and civil unrest persisted all the way past Independence Day and shows no sign of slowing down. While protesters hit the streets, the NOVEL CORONA VIRUS continued its destructive spread across the country. More than 30 states are seeing their biggest positive infection rates since the start of the pandemic—and America’s total number of positive cases topped three million this week. Gun violence persists during pandemic, protests. As if that weren’t enough, gun violence is also on the rise in major cities across the nation. After months of watching crime trends while the country quarantined, reopened, and protested (not to ignore the current threat of a second shut-down) it’s still difficult to identify whether it’s the pandemic that’s sparking violence or whether violence is spurring on the viral spread. A deadly holiday weekend. After a rash of shootings over Independence Day weekend, here’s a snapshot of the current state of crime and coronavirus across the US. At least 160 people were killed and more than 500 were wounded by gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend. There were nine mass shootings reported between July 3 and July 5, resulting in eight dead and 35 injured. A shooting at a nightclub in Greenville, South Carolina, left two people dead and eight injured—despite statewide restrictions against large crowds. If any COVID-19 cases are traced back to this incident, the nightclub could be charged for operating illegally during the pandemic. Chicago saw 89 people shot over Independence Day weekend, with 17 ultimately dying from their wounds. Gun violence in Chicago this year has remained constant—if not worse than previous years—even during statewide quarantine orders. Shootings doubled in Atlanta between Memorial Day and Independence Day, compared to the same time frame in 2019. After 31 people were shot in Atlanta over the holiday weekend—and five died—Georgia governor Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency on July 6. One of the fatalities in Atlanta was an 8-year-old girl shot near the Wendy’s where Rayshard Brooks was killed by police on June 12. The mayor called out protesters blocking access to roads as a possible factor in the girl’s death but implored anyone present to come forth with information to help catch the shooter(s).
TRUTH IS “BLACK LIVES MATTER” In 2013, three radical Black organizers — Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi — created a Black-centered political will and movement building project called #BlackLivesMatter. It was in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman. It is the Model to OFFSET A DOCTRINE OF DETERMINISM where individual human beings (POLICE OFFICERS) have no free will and cannot be held morally responsible for their actions. It cites that (Excerpt from Allan P. Kirby, Jr’s speech on April 27, 2016), “For almost two years, a protest movement known as “Black Lives Matter” has convulsed the nation. Triggered by the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014, the Black Lives Matter movement holds that racist police officers are the greatest threat facing young black men today. This belief has triggered riots, “die-ins,” the murder and attempted murder of police officers, a campaign to eliminate traditional grand jury proceedings when police use lethal force, and a presidential task force on policing.” Today the Black Lives Matter Movement has morphed to include Global Network Managing Director, Kailee Scales & rapper/activist/author Mysonne Linen in this new movement and ongoing fight to end State-sanctioned violence, liberate Black people, and end white supremacy forever. The New theme will include the liberation work and how the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks, among others, have traumatized the global community and so many others around the world to enhance them take to the streets in peaceful protest. Such campaigns are inevitably undermined when they are hijacked by ideological groups with other agendas, or those who resort to violence. The ensuing confusion explains why in recent days we have seen major media outlets and politicians defending and even encouraging violent action. Some who have condemned looting, arson and physical attacks have even been accused of supporting white supremacy, a vile and disingenuous charge that is almost certainly intended to quash dissent. This has largely come about because activists, many of them white and middle-class, have taken the opportunity to exploit a worthy cause. The essential work of standing up against police brutality, as evinced by the unforgivable treatment of Floyd, is being obscured by a culture war that is freewheeling out of control.
