margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: center;"> Who is Heather Corinna?</p></blockquote><p>Heather Corinna was one of the progenitors of the website <a href="https://www.scarleteen.com/" target="_blank">Scarleteen </a> which boasts of being "Sex Education for the real world." </p><p>Her books and curriculum materials are finding their way into schools across the country. People who have interviewed her have boasted that her website is the most widely used sexual education website in the world. She has been the recipient of several <a href="http://heathercorinna.com/awards/" target="_blank">awards</a> for her work, one of which stated it was for "consistent investment in the development of young people in the field of reproductive justice." </p><p>The Washington Post recently <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2019/05/10/california-is-overhauling-sex-education-guidance-schools-religious-conservatives-dont-like-it/" target="_blank">reported</a> that one of her books entitled: "S.E.X., second edition The all you need to know sexuality guide to get you through your teens and twenties." had been suggested to teachers for a "schoolwide read". And it would of been part of the curriculum in California if parents had not showed up to the meeting and read the book aloud, and shown pictures of the explicit material contained within. </p><p>Parents at school board meetings have been the subject of ridicule on the left recently, along with being targeted by the FBI as terrorists as reported <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/fbi-targeted-parents-using-terrorism-tools-despite-biden-ags-testimony-that-they-didnt-whistleblowers" target="_blank">here</a> by the Post Millennial. Parents and faculty come forward on both sides of the argument of whether or not controversial topics like Critical Race Theory, and LGBTQ "inclusive" sex education should be included in school curriculums. In a recent <a href="https://youtu.be/h6jOSru5Quc" target="_blank">video repor</a>t on my YouTube channel I detailed several recent cases wherein LGBTQ teachers who have publicly advocated for more extensive sexuality curriculum in schools are arrested for pedophilia. Including one teacher in Hawaii who admitted to having sex with a thirteen year old boy, filming the sexual encounters and sharing them with other pedophile teachers. </p><p>In this environment parents have every reason to be concerned about what their children are being taught in school, particularly when so many "activist" teachers have stated publicly that they will lie to parents about things they learn about their children's sexuality. </p><p>And that brings us back to Heather Corinna. </p><p>Ironically, it was in a debate about children and sexual activity I was having on Facebook that someone shared this article that you can now only find on the Wayback Machine that was authored by Corinna on her previous website Scarlet Letters. The article was entitled "<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090930044204/http://www.scarletletters.com/current/2001_rage.shtml" target="_blank">Rage of Consent</a> how our Love/Hate relationship with Youth Sexuality and Abuse Hysteria Is Endangering Our Culture." </p><p>The article was shared in the debate as if it was meant to be a valid contribution to the argument. And the argument was about whether or not minors should be having sex with adults. </p><p>The article begins immediately within the first paragraph suggesting that it was erroneous to consider relationships between minors and adults as "child sexual abuse". she goes on further to complain about the criticism she has received for her position on the sexuality of children: </p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"Yet one of the most common criticisms I get for editing and running Scarleteen (a sexuality information clearinghouse for youth which serves thousands of teens daily) is some variation of: "How can you say that a child has the right to be sexual?"</span><br style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Perhaps the better question to ask is: Who are we to say anyone does or does not have a right to enjoy their bodies, to be intimate with others by their own consent, and to make their own choices sexually, as full beings, when we permit such rights in nearly every other aspect of human life?"</span></span></p></blockquote><p>She further elaborates on that position. Making it clear that she literally means anyone of any age: </p><blockquote><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"To state that a person of <u>any age</u> has no right to make choices regarding their own bodies, as is developmentally appropriate for each individual, is alarming. That sentiment in and of itself likely puts them in more danger, and creates a far more negative environment for their sexual and emotional relationships, than a consensual relationship with an adult or a peer could possibly do."</span></blockquote><p>In saying this, Corinna suggests that it is potentially dangerous and more damaging for people to intervene when children who do not have the maturity to give informed consent have what she suggests are consensual relationships with adults. </p><p>Further into the article, Corinna refers to a poll they did of the readers of Scarleteen, and revealed a disturbing trend among her readers of her website having been part of relationships between children and adults. </p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"In a general query of Scarlet Letters' readers, as well as a survey of adults who have had or do have a sexual attraction to legal minors, the average respondent had approximately 60% of their teen sexual relationships with peers, and 40% of them with adults. Of twenty in-depth interviews, only one respondent felt there was anything inherently negative in their consensual relationship with an adult as a teen based solely on age-in-years. One other respondent who was sexually abused as a child also discussed positive sexual or sensual experiences with another adult, keenly noting the differences between abuse and consenting sexual activity." </span></p></blockquote><p>In stating this, Corinna suggests that there is a difference between non-consensual sex between adults and children, (abuse) and what she suggests is not abuse. That being consensual sex between adults and children. </p><p>She goes on to detail the anecdotes of several of her readers detailing what they would call advantages of these sexual relationships between children and adults, including the "fantastic sex". And one of the teens who had a sexual relationship with a thirty five year old man credited him for getting her onto her career path. </p><p>The article then moves in the direction of suggesting that scientific studies have shown that the only reason for the negative outcomes for these "consensual sexual relationships between children and adults" is due to the negative stigma in society associated with such relationships. </p><p>Corinna then goes on to detail her own experiences with relationships with adults when she herself was a child. The attitude and agenda of the author starts to become more clear. As does a quote from further in the article: </p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"Rape is sex without consent. Though child molestation is rape, it does not follow that all sex with a minor is rape. Unless we are stating that our young men and women are mentally disabled and thus unable to give consent - thus making all sexual acts performed by a minor into rape by definition, whether with adults or peers - we cannot say that a youth who says "yes" emphatically to any sexual relationship has not given consent, <u>IF we have furnished them with the information they require to do so."</u></span></p></blockquote><p>It's at this point that Corinna's interest in child sex education becomes clear. And it brings into clarity why so many activists in the realm of child sex education seem to be interested in teaching children at younger and younger ages about sex, sexuality and sexual identity. </p><p>The article then moves on to giving a voice to the adults in the situation. And to suggesting that adults who have sexual attraction to minors are similar to gay people, inter-gendered people, etc. Implying that sexual attraction to children is just another sexual identity. What has often been dismissed as just a right wing talking point is revealed. Yes there is in fact a movement to add pedophilia to the LGBTQ banner. </p><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"Dissident, 32, who is attracted primarily to teen women, reminds us that, "Minor-attracted adults of every attraction base have existed throughout human history, just like homosexuals and intergendered individuals, and like the latter two, the former were highly regarded in sex-positive and more socially enlightened societies in the past, particularly as mentors and teachers of youths. It was not considered horrible or inappropriate that the great concern for these youths on the part of adults had a sexual element to it in societies that respected youths as intelligent and articulate human beings, who did not see sexuality as a 'negative' thing, for youths or anyone else, and who considered <u>the sexual experiences of youth to be a natural part of their education.</u>"</span></p></blockquote><p>The last sentence I underlined there should be chilling to anyone concerned about the agenda of people who are seeking to teach children of younger ages about sex. </p><p>In further comments from "Dissident" later in the article the situation is framed as if the adult who is having sex with children is somehow the victim in the situation. </p><blockquote><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"Our own families are ashamed of us for something that is not only not our fault, but which is not pathological but perfectly natural. That society does not want to understand us but simply to pillory us, and that we are used as political bogeymen to attack the civil rights of everyone, creates a continually difficult and traumatic life for us to bear. Since I am 'out' in real life, I am often subject to snide and cruel remarks behind my back, and my attraction is a large source of ammunition for any person to use against me in any sort of argument as a sure fire means of making their status more 'ethical' then my own (i.e., if I was berating a Neo-Nazi for his racist views, he would likely say to me, 'Well, at least I don't like little girls!'), etc. It's very hard to live like this, and the many emotional problems that we suffer come after the fact, and not as a result of, our attraction base ... and this is why suicide and even substance abuse can be common among our minority group."</span></blockquote><p>Heather Corrinna goes on to suggest that we cannot demonize such relationships. And why? Because we have to protect the children's self esteem...</p><blockquote><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"What Dissident says is important to bear in mind, not only for the well-being of such adults , but for the youths they may become involved with. If we tell a youth that the person whom they may love is a "pervert" or a sociopath because they love them, we send a crucial negative blow to the self-esteem of that youth by telling them that only an adult who is a pervert could possibly cherish them or find them sexually appealing. Worse still, imagine the youth who may grow to have a limited pole of attraction or an attraction to minors being reared with constant messages that anyone with that attraction base is sick or evil - which thus includes himself or herself in that group."</span></blockquote><p>Multiple times in the article, Corinna tries to draw a parallel between the fact that we sometimes charge children as adults for crimes, and that this therefore somehow means that children should be permitted to give informed consent to sexual activity with adults. </p><blockquote><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"It is not invalid to feel that our youth are not capable of decision-making and responsible sexual choices, IF we have not equipped them with the support and information to do so - if we have in fact created a climate in which they cannot do so. However, if so, then the deficiency is not on the part of our youth! If our rationale for criminalizing adult/youth relationships, or youth sexuality in general, is that youth are "led only by their hormones," or unable to be responsible due to their age, why then would we encourage them to become engaged with same-age-peers who are likely to be the same way? If our rationale is this, how then can we hold them responsible as adults for crimes they commit, yet claim they cannot make the same choices in regard to their sexuality?"</span></blockquote><p>The article on Scarlet Letters is very long, and it would take a several part series of articles to go over in detail all of the glaringly disturbing points brought up by both the adults who are attracted to children and the author. But if there was any doubt as to my earlier assertion that Corinna is involved in sexual education specifically because she believes that children who are properly informed should be allowed to have consensual sex with adults, I would end the quotes from the article with the following: </p><blockquote><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">"If we were to rear our children in environments which empowered and supported their sexuality and self-esteem, and were supported as parents and mentors in doing so ... if we made sure they received lifelong and comprehensive sex education, and we treated them like young adults, placing the responsibility and accountability for their actions on them ... that old rug, the "moral protection of the feeble innocents," would be pulled right out from under us. A young adult can say yes or no, and when they have the pertinent information, support, and a healthy self-image, they can make informed choices capably."</span></blockquote><p>Corinna's stance is that children who have been properly informed through sex education should be treated as young adults who are capable of making decisions about their sex lives. And that it is a lack of information and not what society has identified as a lack of brain development and maturity that should be considered to be the limiting factor when it comes to if someone can give consent.</p><p>A person with this perspective is now writing books that are being given to children around the country. She is winning awards and writing articles for major publications. Though her true position on sex between minors and adults is not the public focus of her work for obvious reasons. I have multiple times now shared my <a href="https://youtu.be/3K_n7LClJ8A" target="_blank">detailed video report</a> that can be found on my YouTube channel specifically about this article. I did so on both the <a href="https://twitter.com/Scarleteen/status/1553445509360238595" target="_blank">Scarleteen Twitter</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/heathercorinna/status/1555350139119833089" target="_blank">Corinna's personal Twitter</a>, asking her to explain her article. The only response I received was in the form of being blocked on Twitter. No retraction. No attempt at explaining the position further, not even an attempt to suggest that she may have since revised her position. It is this kind of secrecy that leads to conservative parents having what I feel are valid concerns about the agenda of the people in question. </p><p>She, along with the teacher from Hawaii who was recently arrested for raping a 13 year old student both made the argument that somehow this form of sex education was a means to protect children from the very abuse they secretly advocate for. Corinna wrote an <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/apr/30/sex-education-children-primary-school" target="_blank">article for the Guardian</a> to that very effect. </p><p>It's time for people on the left to take responsibility for the fact that expanded sex education will inevitably be an inroad for people with legitimate interest in normalizing sex between adults and children to gain access to children. As I maintained in my video detailing cases of this very thing taking place I do not feel that people in the LGBTQ community are somehow more likely to be Pedophiles. However, if we are to have an environment where people who show concern when these issues come to the forefront are shouted down or accused of bigotry we are creating the perfect cover for people with nefarious intentions towards our children. </p><p>Instead unfortunately as I experienced when I released my two videos on this topic the knee-jerk reaction is to try and silence, disparage, or intimidate people into not speaking about it. Ironically the reactions I get also generally include the "whataboutism" of bringing up the Catholic church and recent scandals that have been covered up. All the while not realizing that they are taking part in the same sort of cover when they attack anyone who tries to draw attention to this very real problem. </p><p>Thankfully, there are activists in the LGBTQ community who have had enough. <a href="https://twitter.com/againstgrmrs/status/1542174108493877248" target="_blank">The Gays Against Groomers Twitter account</a> for example brings attention to the real problem that the LGBTQ community is being used as a vehicle for pedophiles to gain access to children. And that people who try to speak out against this within the LGBTQ community are often attacked. The Post Millennial recently <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-gays-against-groomers-suspended-from-twitter" target="_blank">reported</a> that this account has been in the past censored by twitter. Thankfully due to public pressure it was re-instated. </p><p>Efforts are being made to start up LGBTQ clubs across the country at schools, and <a href="https://teentalkingcircles.org/trainings" target="_blank">Corinna herself</a> offers training in setting up and facilitating support groups for children to be "safe spaces to tell the truth". </p><p>As we saw with Critical Race Theory in schools there seems to be a pattern that seems to escalate with a few steps:</p><p>1. Say that the activity is not actually supported by anyone, and the activity is not actually happening.</p><p>2. Admit that the activity is actually being supported, but deny that it is happening. </p><p>3. Admit finally that not only is the thing being supported, that it is happening and should be happening. </p><p>As I watch people I debate with on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter etc squirm in their chairs in the bargaining phases of denial I also watch the people who have been supporting this from the start seeing their opportunity and trying to normalize sex between children and adults. And just like CRT find it's way into K-12 schools, it's another thing that was dubiously labeled as only right wing hysteria or a talking point. </p><p>If you are a parent, demand transparency in the curriculums being taught to your children. The education community has made it clear that they will in fact lie to you. That they feel that you as the parent are the enemy. And that they are somehow protecting children by pushing these ideas into the minds of children. </p><blockquote><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;" /><p> </p></blockquote><blockquote><p> </p></blockquote><blockquote><p> </p></blockquote><blockquote><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;" /><p> </p></blockquote><p><br /></p><blockquote><p> </p></blockquote><blockquote><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;"> </span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p>V-RADIO Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04325536052588175311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419358034799692030.post-55654460165762464232021-02-18T14:57:00.001-08:002021-02-18T14:57:43.892-08:00A now deleted article written by Peter Joseph of the Zeitgeist Movement. <p> This article was written by Peter Joseph, the founder of the Zeitgeist Movement, and filmmaker behind the series. The TZM blog was deleted but I found it <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20121118004636/https://thezeitgeistmovementblog.wordpress.com/tag/reverse-racism/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">on the Wayback Machine here.</a> I decided to also re-print it here just in case it ever came up missing. </p><p>I was motivated to do this after writing a long Facebook post in response to comments that my opposition to the "woke" movement meant I had sold out to the right. I made a video about this you can find here: <a href="https://youtu.be/Klf5SRPAfkw" target="_blank">Video about "wokeness" and TZM/TVP. </a></p><p>This is the article as it was published on the Zeitgeist Movement Blog on January 21st, 2011. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfaemeNwAjObs3hYDea0lluAUqE_PUyiHzrm4zQYzCSyTvNbN_bbqRdmeEDjUXzWmRZ1gt9P_Xup-KcM97BqqWXdW-DcCiWgHelYs1BWq-pevNa_s0t3DKslBmlWKrI33yuSOYtWvCZWg/s938/Zeitgeist+Blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="826" data-original-width="938" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfaemeNwAjObs3hYDea0lluAUqE_PUyiHzrm4zQYzCSyTvNbN_bbqRdmeEDjUXzWmRZ1gt9P_Xup-KcM97BqqWXdW-DcCiWgHelYs1BWq-pevNa_s0t3DKslBmlWKrI33yuSOYtWvCZWg/s320/Zeitgeist+Blog.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Friends,<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />I want to make a comment about a certain angle of critique I have come in contact with and expand this rather trivial issue into a more important cultural point which many out there seem not to get – even in this day and age.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">During the premiere of Zeitgeist: Moving Forward in LA on Jan 15th, a very kind women politely asked me why there “were not more woman in my film”. I responded to the effect that “well – I have to go where the data is.” She, of course, related and I feel her question wasn’t as much that she was offended by there not being “more women” in the film, but more to effect that others might feel some sort of bias by the fact. Fair enough, given the culture today.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">So, I jump on a plane and go to New York City for the screenings there at Tribeca Cinemas. After the film ended on Jan 17th I was asked a similar question:</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">“What aren’t there more black people in your movie?”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">At first, I thought he was joking. In fact, I spent a good couple of minutes making fun of the question…only to find he was, indeed, not joking. He really felt the need to understand why, in his view, there were not “more black people” in the film. So, of course, I explained that race is an arbitrary factor on all levels and that I simply do not recognize race anymore and the idea of “politically correct media” isn’t a notion I care about for it is a contrivance which perpetuates a false need to be superficially “equal”… as though I should say to myself: “Hmmm – the film is good – but I think I need more woman, black people, native americans, middle easterners, jews, amish and handicapped people etc.”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">That stated, I want to point out something: Data is data and the people who present it are arbitrary.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">I’ll state that again:</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Data is data and the people who present it are arbitrary.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">It doesn’t matter who Peter Joseph is – what race he is or what his background is – what comes out of his mouth is DATA and each person must compute that data based on the merit of the data itself- not the machine (person) relaying it. The messenger is and will always be irrelevant. Humans are merely vehicles for information relay. They learn – they repeat / adjust based on the novel-ness of their life experience/frame of reference/understanding. Those who are biased against data because they don’t “like” the prima facie identity of the person or entity communicating the data are engaging in what I call “INTELLECTUAL BIGOTRY”.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">For example, Let’s assume I do a movie on renewable energy and the featured person in the work who is discussing various mediums of renewables happens to be a Nazi… or a Scientologist or a Christian … whatever. Does that mean the info they state is now suspect or biased? Is a film which has a Nazi in it suddenly a “Nazi film” regardless of the context?</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Sadly, this is how many people comprehend in this culture. They don’t want to think so they seek to isolate the person’s assumed character (race/background/job/whatever) and attack that… rather than listen to what they say. And yes, I know, I’m Peter Joseph, the “arrogant” , “satanist”, “communist”, “new world order”, “asshole” “megalomaniac”, “cult leader”, “conspiracy theorist.”… but hey – guess what: even if all those labels were true: IT CHANGES NOTHING.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Data is data and if there is anything the public needs to snap out of, it’s the belligerent bias of the “projected identity” notion that blinds people to actually listening/considering new information.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Now, with respect to the need for more “woman or black people” in my film I want to make a critical point: It is nothing but a racist/sexist disposition to demand that the vehicles of data transfer in a film or whatever are of a certain origin; in a “politically correct” context. Again – Data is data.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />I call this “reverse racism/reverse bigotry”</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Frankly, it is nothing but biased and racist for there to be “puerto rican day parades” or “Italian American day” It is nothing but biased and racist for there to be “black awareness month” It is nothing but biased and sexist for the idea of the “feminist” to exist in the arrogance it often does today. Aren’t we interested in equality? If so- it means that you do not promote your “institution” of gender/race/ideology above others- it means you recognize the historical bias against you and work for it to be “neutralized” – not elevated in a vindictive/ego sense.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">I remember reading about Martin Luther King Jr.’s apprehension to the idea of “Black Power”. He knew. He understood that to try to make your race/sex or the like “outstanding” is equality as biased as the oppressive forces that started the sad trend of inequality we see today.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, "BitStream vera Sans", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: start;">Is there a dire need to generate more equality across race, gender and class lines? Yes. But that doesn’t mean your race/gender/class happens to be “special”. We are human.

And many of the warnings that George Washington put in his farewell address were rather then warnings to be heeded dire predictions of what would come to pass. </p><p>From the farewell address of George Washington at <a href="https://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=false&doc=15&page=transcript" target="_blank">OurDocuments.gov</a></p><blockquote><p>"In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection." </p></blockquote><blockquote><p>"All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests. </p><p>However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.</p><p> I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally.</p><p>This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.</p></blockquote><p></p><blockquote> Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight), the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."</blockquote><p><span> </span>It was clear to Washington and several of the other founding fathers that there was serious danger in the party system as individuals would band together to do what was best for their party instead of what was best for the country. And that what was good for the people at large would always be secondary to the power and influence that their specific faction had over the others. </p><p><span> This is why you see</span> efforts on the part of both major parties to seek to undermine legislation, appointments of positions, and in general fight against any efforts from across the aisle in a fight over dominance. They will seek to sabotage the efforts of any president of an opposing party for example specifically to make their party look weak or ineffective. Even if whatever measures they are thwarting would be good for people like you and me. </p><p><span> When you add to this the fact that people with more money and therefore more money for campaign donations will inevitably have considerable power and influence over our "elected" officials the system further breaks down. </span><br /></p><p> Gerrymandering is perhaps the most obvious example of parties seeking to get a ridiculous stranglehold on power for their party at the expense of the citizens of the states they live in. Literally jigsaw puzzling districts together to ensure their party has the majority of seats in the house and senate. You end up with crazy situations where the Governor of a given state elected by that state's majority is opposed by a state legislature that is for some reason totally dominated by the opposing party. This picture is an example of actual state legislature districts drawn up by members of political parties who are literally creating districts that are only populated by <u style="font-weight: bold;">their</u> party: </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_bB82kPAtz0vWHllxJU69i4Jy-2p399GGlrhGleUDK_-qrsxI8Ubap2IfqUCduN6l-QbbCVaj-7NpDokNl47NHqww4AjHxbs-P1F-wD2ERwNBUkYv2Vt1nkhNivw71M-8kTBgBsOEWk/s1128/Gerrymanderproperphoto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="756" data-original-width="1128" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_bB82kPAtz0vWHllxJU69i4Jy-2p399GGlrhGleUDK_-qrsxI8Ubap2IfqUCduN6l-QbbCVaj-7NpDokNl47NHqww4AjHxbs-P1F-wD2ERwNBUkYv2Vt1nkhNivw71M-8kTBgBsOEWk/s320/Gerrymanderproperphoto.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> This ridiculous corruption of our democratic republic system is exactly the sort of nonsense that George Washington was concerned about.

The reason for example Bernie Sanders, a lifelong Independent had to seek the nomination for President by joining the Democrats is due to the ballot access laws that have been put in place to ensure that the two party duopoly remains in power. One thing the two parties agree on for sure is maintaining their dominance in all of our political system. </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span> </span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span> We are made to choose from a very small number of hand picked candidates for all of our important offices and it is extremely rare that an Independent or 3rd party candidate manages to penetrate the system. Governor Jesse Ventura managed to win the election in Minnesota but it was entirely predicated on his celebrity status getting him into the debates. During his time as Governor both parties worked together to thwart his agenda to ensure that he would not seek re-election. </span><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span> Perhaps the best example of this, was the 2016 Democratic primary. It was revealed through hacked emails that the DNC had actively worked to steal the nomination from Bernie Sanders. Angry members of the party filed a lawsuit against the Democratic party citing that they had donated money to the party under the impression that the process would be a fair and democratic one. </span><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span> What was perhaps the most disturbing revelation that came out in this situation was that the lawyers working for the DNC literally defended the DNC by stating that the political parties are private entities that could literally pick their candidate in back rooms if they wanted. </span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span> And they were right.

In 2008 Congressman Ron Paul ran on an anti-war platform. And I distinctly remember him being excluded from debates at one point in favor of Rudy Giuliani. Despite the fact that Ron Paul consistently polled higher then Giuliani <u style="font-weight: bold;">in every state.</u> And more recently don't forget that your party didn't want Donald Trump at all. Jeb Bush was their guy as the Bush's are exactly like the Clinton's in that they are both deep state favorites. <br /></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span> The major political parties are bought and paid for. They have become instruments of plutocracy, rule by the wealthy. They distract us by taking stances on social issues that they feel will garner favor but this evolves entirely on their fancy. The Republicans for example historically were the party that moved to abolish slavery yet the Democrats are now understood to be the party for people of color. </span><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span><span> It is perhaps the greatest delusion that any citizen of the United States can allow themselves to be caught up in to believe that either of these parties care about you. And even the third parties have the same sort of infighting and corruption at their core. The Green Party for example has a candidate who was favored by party insiders in ways that are perhaps even worse then the favoritism showed to Hillary Clinton in 2016. In one Green Party primary Howie Hawkins was literally the only candidate on the ballot despite Dario Hunter his main rival being sent an email confirming that he had done everything that was needed to be on the ballot. </span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span><span><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span> I say it's time to stop surrendering your beliefs to parties. Make these parties <u style="font-weight: bold;">earn</u> your vote.

Reject the parties entirely. They are unconstitutional entities strangling our democracy. They are vehicles for the plutocrats to control our system. They are set up in such a way to keep us fighting each other over social issues that neither of them really actually care about. While the one class they continue to serve are the wealthy deep state over any of us. They want us distracted with race, gender, religion, etc to keep us from uniting against them. To keep us from picking our candidates on their sincerity rather then their membership of one cult or another. Reject the "illusion of choice". Reclaim your liberty. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><span><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> You can support Trump, or Bernie, or whomever as an <u style="font-weight: bold;">INDEPENDENT.</u> As our system was originally intended. Stop donating to political parties. Stop joining them unless you have to temporarily to participate in an primary. Fight for rank choice voting so that 3rd party or Independent candidates have a chance. Support candidates as individuals rather than as members of political cults. <br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span> I leave you with some words from George Carlin: </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EhzD4usoaFo" width="320" youtube-src-id="EhzD4usoaFo"></iframe></div><br /><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <br /></span></span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p></p>V-RADIO Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04325536052588175311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419358034799692030.post-1151870048789177532020-09-26T18:51:00.000-07:002020-09-26T18:51:48.853-07:00The Kyle Rittenhouse Incident... <h1 style="text-align: center;"> On the night of August 25th, 2020...</h1><div><span> </span>In the wake of the Jacob Blake shootings, protests and riots erupted in Kenosha Wisconsin. Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and members of a Libertarian Militia known as the Kenosha Guard were present at protests that moved back and forth through the city. </div><div><span> </span><br /></div><div><span><span> A 17 year old boy named Kyle Rittenhouse was with the Kenosha Guard providing medical attention to protestors and standing guard over one of the businesses that had been burned the night before. What transpired that night is a subject of controversy, and Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with 1st degree murder after shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum, and Anthony Huber, wounding Gaige Grosskreutz before leaving the scene and attempting to surrender to police. He was taken into custody the next day. </span></span></div><div><span> There are a lot of false narratives surrounding the events of that fateful night and I went into my investigation of what took place with the gut instinct that perhaps our country had another crazed mass murderer on our hands. But upon thorough investigation It is clear that was simply not the case. I put together a documentary video and uploaded it to Youtube and will be addressing common misconceptions in that video and on this blog. </span><br /></div>V-RADIO Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04325536052588175311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419358034799692030.post-33084552511480767172020-09-04T14:39:00.003-07:002020-09-04T14:41:12.179-07:00Who was Joseph D Rosenbaum? First man shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha...<h1 style="text-align: center;"> Whether you think Kyle Rittenhouse was wrong or not, getting shot by an allegedly bad person does not make someone a good person...</h1><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Joseph D. Rosenbaum was the first person shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25th 2020. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span> </span>Rosenbaum was seen on video confronting the militia group that Kyle was part of that night, upset that one of the militia had put out a dumpster fire that had been set by protestors near a gas station. (I did a video piecing together many different clips of that evening that I will share at the end of this article). </span><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span> </span>Rosenbaum was extremely combative and aggressive with the militia group at one point daring them to shoot him. In one of the widely circulated videos of the first shooting Rosenbaum was shot after chasing Kyle across a parking lot and throwing an object at him. A gunshot went off in the distance causing Kyle to turn and fire at Rosenbaum who had gained on him. Rosenbaum later died of his wounds. </span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span> </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span> </span>Since the shooting, my fellow activists on the left who have been allowing themselves to be so polarized that everyone involved in any controversy who shares their views is automatically forgiven of all sins. And anyone who opposes their views are automatically guilty. Everything people on our side do or say is always taken in the best possible light up to and including simply denying any wrongdoing. The opposite is true for anyone on the right. </span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span> </span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span><span><span><span> </span>So there are a lot of articles, facebook posts, etc paying "tribute" or "mourning" the loss of Rosenbaum as if he was a brave warrior for the cause.

Details of the criminal complaint can be found in his arrest warrant here: </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtK7CNweiqRnC5UvLsfiaIdnQhc9Cd9aH0XePiqQHrQY5cM5r6yNwVppt6EL1azke3VGGCFxU8bagwKgM5fdrkYAc2ydQ8gq_qDtlaJpcWTf00i5zztLCM7rEl1RxmBzaDYYjiDksq68/s907/JacobBlakeWarrant1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtK7CNweiqRnC5UvLsfiaIdnQhc9Cd9aH0XePiqQHrQY5cM5r6yNwVppt6EL1azke3VGGCFxU8bagwKgM5fdrkYAc2ydQ8gq_qDtlaJpcWTf00i5zztLCM7rEl1RxmBzaDYYjiDksq68/s640/JacobBlakeWarrant1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilaYDSElYiZwoc1M9jqgs7BGLDTHU_GCwiZ8-585Ab-fMm98bkstfxiF6s-_JELu-YavG6-HiQG_tZW5oAIQst-2b3h7pl1M_8ETwuvRojQgG5qiaNszcJpSV5WyNRdyxNoZ5mA_J341M/s927/JacobBlakeWarrant2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="927" data-original-width="703" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilaYDSElYiZwoc1M9jqgs7BGLDTHU_GCwiZ8-585Ab-fMm98bkstfxiF6s-_JELu-YavG6-HiQG_tZW5oAIQst-2b3h7pl1M_8ETwuvRojQgG5qiaNszcJpSV5WyNRdyxNoZ5mA_J341M/s640/JacobBlakeWarrant2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBabvzydLSxCRidjpxJEn_RW0K8hCCQEUSQ0fkD4vU55TJVf-qHe3LCZtSSe-Yul1lat0otSedlt10LP8o1f_EI1POvPiT0256xeIWo4GVllahMu8lW3rNP7tq3fyAI-e8yc6yZoOxiqQ/s919/JacobBlakeWarrant3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="919" data-original-width="705" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBabvzydLSxCRidjpxJEn_RW0K8hCCQEUSQ0fkD4vU55TJVf-qHe3LCZtSSe-Yul1lat0otSedlt10LP8o1f_EI1POvPiT0256xeIWo4GVllahMu8lW3rNP7tq3fyAI-e8yc6yZoOxiqQ/s640/JacobBlakeWarrant3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">UPDATE: The criminal complaint was further corroborated by this series of tweets from a relative of the victim here: </h3><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFFMcLveAqe92BebQl9bQLoB1AVlvwwFN6Z0rpyhIhpxFR84oKwEg8OBkvLHAg6ISACwvOm-sh8ZPCmwQJH2UaVl7GzsBjDeaWzEoV3HI-BAwVD-5_VuY7Uv1T1szgRTGoOZ7zAKXfEw/s889/JacobBlakeTweet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="889" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFFMcLveAqe92BebQl9bQLoB1AVlvwwFN6Z0rpyhIhpxFR84oKwEg8OBkvLHAg6ISACwvOm-sh8ZPCmwQJH2UaVl7GzsBjDeaWzEoV3HI-BAwVD-5_VuY7Uv1T1szgRTGoOZ7zAKXfEw/s640/JacobBlakeTweet.jpg" /></a></div><br /> </h3><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Controversy surrounding the arrest and shooting...</h2><div>Details of what took place are still coming together. But one of the problems with the nature of the internet when it comes to news and the already hysterical state of affairs when it comes to police shootings is that people were quickly lining up to use this incident as more evidence to justify their feelings on the issue of police shootings. The first video that was circulated by the public shows Jacob Blake walking around the front of his vehicle with police pursuing him on foot with their guns drawn. He is clearly being ordered to lay down on the ground the entire time, and being ordered not to go back into his car. He does so anyway which prompts the policeman to shoot him in the back 7 times at point blank range. He appears to of been carrying something in his hand that depending on what photo you look at looks like a knife. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K0DSTV7XT1E" width="320" youtube-src-id="K0DSTV7XT1E"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Reaction to the first video...</h2><div>As seems to be the norm now when it comes to police shootings, depending on your political leanings you will either jump to confirmation bias that the police are wrong, or jump to confirmation bias that police are right. There is very little clear and independent thinking going on. So the kinds of things I read or heard were suggestions of "Why didn't they try and tackle him?" and "Why didn't they tase him?" and from people on the pro-police side saying things like "Why was he resisting arrest?" </div><div><br /></div><div>The problem is, both tackling and tasers had been tried, and failed. But nobody knew that yet as this next video was not being circulated yet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yoz0aDZetFg" width="320" youtube-src-id="yoz0aDZetFg"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Reaction to the second video? </h2><div>The situation is now so emotionally heated that all rational discourse about the topic seems impossible to find. On the right you have people basically saying case closed. On the left you have people emotionally calling anyone who says anything other then that this was a horrible case of attempted murder by police a racist and evil person. Like Cenk from TYT. People are so deeply entrenched in their views and at this point have personally invested so much in their insults and posturing on this issue that pride is involved. </div><div><br /></div><div>The other thing that kind of disturbs me is the total silence from the feminist activists who I have in the past heard say all rapists should be brutally punished and that we should believe all women. Well, the guy had a restraining order against him, and stands accused of rape and domestic abuse. </div><div><br /></div><div>There are a lot of people talking about whether or not he deserved what happened to him. One of the issues I have seen trying to talk to people about this topic is how little people really know about policing and what police shootings look like. I realized I should know more about this myself before I started talking about it. Novel concept I know. So I discovered a channel called "PoliceActivity" on youtube where you can watch hours of footage of what police shootings look like. Checkout that channel here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/PoliceActivity/featured">https://www.youtube.com/c/PoliceActivity/featured</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I found a clip from another video that perfectly illustrates why police don't let suspects who are resisting arrest go back into their vehicles. And why they don't hesitate to shoot if you attempt to do so. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QgCi7pkmNFw" width="320" youtube-src-id="QgCi7pkmNFw"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I have watched an extended version of that clip that shows these two officers try to use tasers and wrestle with this guy for quite a while before this clip starts. There are <b>MANY </b>more videos like this. But people who are anti-police don't really spend much time trying to understand their point of view. In fact during protests the protesters are being instructed not to speak to officers and even more so confronted if they do. There seems to be an active effort to alienate leftists from the police entirely. I wish I could say there was not an agenda behind that. My instincts tell me otherwise. <div><h2 style="text-align: left;"> The discussion on social media gets ridiculous pretty fast...</h2><div>There is a lot of discussion of "Police are not judge and jury!" and "Not complying with orders is not a reason to be killed!" </div><div><br /></div><div>Police order you to get on the ground and put your hands behind your back so they can arrest you with as little danger to <b>YOU </b>and to <b>THEM </b>as possible. </div><div><br /></div><div>Suspects who refuse to do this demonstrate time and again an intention to escape even if they have to kill people to do so. People who refuse orders not to go into their cars, pockets, etc are behaving in a manner consistent with what happens when someone plans to shoot the police officer. </div><div><br /></div><div>So when you refuse to obey orders that include demonstrating that you are not a threat by keeping your hands visible, getting on the ground and putting your hands behind your back, not going into your car, and not reaching into your jacket you are sending signals to the officer that you are a threat. It's really that simple. </div><div><br /></div><div>They didn't order you to buy them a soda and then shoot you when you refused. They ordered you to follow instructions to make the arrest as safe for you as it is safe for the officer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Officers who have to make the decision to shoot have less then a second to do so, or die. Their lives and often the lives of other victims in the situation are at stake. </div><div><br /></div></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Jacob Blake didn't have to be shot... </h2></div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p>He absolutely could of chosen not to resist arrest when the police were wrestling with him behind the car. </p><p>He absolutely could of chosen to get down on the ground and put his hands behind his back at literally any moment before he was shot. </p><p>He absolutely could of chosen not to open his car door and bend down in a manner consistent with someone who is reaching into their vehicle for a weapon. </p><p>All of that was completely in his control. He chose not to. Why? Because he was a rapist, and domestic abuser who didn't want to go to jail. Plain and simple. Not because he was an oppressed minority being unjustly profiled and targeted for random violence. Because he was a rapist, and domestic abuser violating a restraining order that a woman got against him out of fear for her life. Believe all women. Right? <br /><br />A lot of the arguments in this situation lead me to see that people seem to want a situation wherein if a suspect simply decides to leave a situation the police should not pursue them. If they want to just get in their car and leave you should just let them go. </p><p>And until they are actively trying to kill you that you should not be allowed to shoot them. (Some of them I feel hate police so much at this point they think the only just outcome would be for all criminals to simply shoot police.) </p><p>In this scenario if you are a policeman responding to a call because a man with a warrant is harassing a woman who has a restraining order against him and he resists arrest you should just let him go on his merry way and absolutely should not shoot him even if he is behaving in a way that is typical to someone who is about to retrieve a weapon and shoot officers and possibly the victim. </p><p>A lot of people are also suggesting that if he were white the police would not of shot him. On that Police Activity channel I linked above you can find plenty of footage of white people getting shot when they foolishly don't obey commands. You can also find footage of a lot of cops being shot when they hesitate to respond fast enough when a criminal intends to shoot them. </p><p>The GoFundMe that was put up by Jacob Blake's mother has raised over two million dollars as of me writing this blog article. Getting shot for resisting arrest because he didn't want to go to jail for rape and domestic abuse made Jacob Blake a rich man. And canonized as a martyr and saint by the racial activist movements. Riots are ongoing with looting and destruction of property over the "injustice" and people are saying his name during protests. </p><p>Let me make a suggestion. If we were not in a situation now with racial activism reaching fanatical and "Witch hunt" levels of irrational thinking and a man broke into a woman's house, raped and abused her and then returned later and violated a restraining order to take the woman's keys I don't think anyone would be batting an eyelash that he got shot. And as a father who's daughter was raped and had to endure what it was like waiting for the police to catch the man who did it I am kind of astonished that nobody is talking about the victim in this situation. </p><p>The woman he raped and abused. I guess her life doesn't matter? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h2><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div>V-RADIO Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04325536052588175311noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3419358034799692030.post-69827910740556185002020-06-04T09:28:00.002-07:002020-06-04T11:42:56.126-07:00Racial activism pitfalls...<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So I wanted to take a moment to try and offer some insight from what I have seen as an activist since 2008. I was part of Occupy Detroit and Occupy Flint. I marched and camped in both locations. And I learned a lot.
I have also lived in racist places and places with high racial tension.
The strategy has to be carefully weighed. And I am going to ask people to bear with me a moment. And not allow yourself to jump to any conclusions about me. There are people here who know me and apparently others who don't. But lets get this out of the way. I grew up originally in the ghettos, both in the trailer park ghettos of the south, and the inner-city ghettos of the north. By having a life like this I have seen the full spectrum. I had friends in Florida I had to play with generally in secret as the racism is blatant enough that they name local plants after racist slurs.
But I also lived in Pontiac, and when I was there it was a place very unfriendly to white people as well. The "Nation of Islam" was allowed to do a presentation at my public high school to inform the white people present that they were the marked race of cain, and inferior. And that the mixed race people in the group were "abominations". I wish I was making this up. But it ended up affecting a lot of racial relations.
Racist groups have something in common. They tend to go into poor neighborhoods and explain to everyone there that all of their problems would go away if they just got rid of X other group. This is also the method the nazis used against the Jews in Germany. It's easy to get oppressed people to hate. Obviously. So they exploit that. They also tend to seek out individuals with emotional issues, people who feel isolated and try to exploit that. The racism becomes their place to belong. Yes, racists themselves are often victims. Recruited and exploited into what is really a "cult".
I have been trying to figure out the best way to explain this. Take it for what you will. But be strategic in what way you fight racism as what works in one place will not work in all. And there are pitfalls to be aware of.
1. Don't get so caught up in your passion to fight racism that you start seeing it even if there is none. Anything that gets people emotional, particularly groups of people can produce the sociological/psychological effect of an "Inquisition" complete with "Witch Hunts". And people in a group who want to get rid of maybe a rival or whatever can start leveling false allegations to try and get someone ostracized. Think critically. There is certainly racism to be found. But don't find yourself so hyper focused that you end up blinding yourself.
2. The most effective way to fight racism, is to humanize people of color to racists. There is a man I hope you all study who's name is Darryl Davis. He is a black man who actively seeks out KKK members to befriend them. He spends time around them and is kind and patient to them. Eventually these men often give up racism entirely. And I am talking about high ranking KKK racist officials leaving because of him. He doesn't get up in their face and shout things at them. Quite the opposite. And it works. It really works. It's not about being submissive to them, it's about demonstrating that their fears and hatred are ridiculous. When that becomes clear, they lose all interest in racism.
Racism can tap into primitive "tribal" instincts that are still in our subconscious. You don't want that reaction. You don't want to look like an opposing tribe. You want them to realize we are the same tribe.
So for example it is not always effective to confront people because you can invoke a defensive reaction and then they are not listening. This is the opposite of what you want. You may be able to shout at some people and they will retreat. You think they really changed their mind?
3. Be mindful that some people get involved in activism to be "cool". It becomes trendy to be woke. And this comes complete with cliques who can literally become snobby about it. As in their activism is better then your activism. What generally follows is a tendency to start analyzing everyone to see who gets the most "oppression points" and as ridiculous as it sounds this can get out of hand really quick. I would watch it devolve into being almost "fashionable" to start tallying up all of the ways you are oppressed and then start to use this as leverage in conversations. There is something to be said obviously about making sure that marginalized people are given a loud voice. This is important. With that in mind however, it cannot become everything about every conversation. Sometimes a person of color may be wrong about a given subject and a Caucasian person may be right. This does happen. But "Check your privilege" can be abused. I have seen it happen over and over. And it divides groups up and renders them ineffective. People start using activism as a situation to create a new hierarchy. You end up going to activist meetings and some of the activists in the group start reminding you of the popular kids in high school looking down their noses at people. And if you piss them off they arrange to humiliate you or drive you out.
4. Anger/hate is seductive. And it actually can hinder your effectiveness. Stress is scientifically proven to lower your IQ. Do not allow your goal of equality to instead become a goal of revenge. Not only will it not work, it will destroy you as a person. You are against the ideology of racists. Not white people. I have watched reasonable racial activists become radicalized in ways that even lead them talking about their race as superior. And then eventually they start talking about white people as inferior. And then they are lost. Do not become what you seek to oppose. Malcom X figured this out right before he was killed by his own people. Research it.

<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="text-align: left;">UPDATE: I am no longer personally advocating for engaging with the Green Party. Upon intense scrutiny I have determined they have all of the same issues with corruption that the Democratic party does, coupled with the same self destructive behaviors that frequently plague 3rd parties. As such I have walked away. There is still an effort to write in Jesse Ventura in their primary, and he has stated he will re-consider running for President if they nominate him. I encourage you to do so if you feel compelled as it is really the only hope that party has of being relevant this year. what follows is the article I wrote while actively working for the exploratory committee for Jess Ventura. I felt the need to leave it here as it will help the people still working towards getting a viable candidate nominated, and to stand as a counter testament to the absurd lies that were told about Jesse Ventura. </h3>
<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>
I had Howie Hawkins on my show some time ago and he seemed like a decent guy. But I couldn't shake the feeling that supporting him was just going to be little more than a protest vote to the DNC. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shortly after I joined the party I was approached by the exploratory committee that was working for Jesse to help him "test the waters" as he put in a tweet some time ago. Given that I had considerable past experience in campaigns and political analysis as it was the job I did for Senator Mike Gravel in 2008 I was hoping I could bring my skills and talents to bear to help a candidate I had been following Jesse Ventura on and off since 2008 when he spoke at a Ron Paul rally. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was rough going and there was certainly a lot of pushback on the idea from the Hawkins wing of the party. But outside of the Green circles when I asked about this in Bernie groups, Tulsi Groups and Yang groups it was near unanimous support for the idea. The Facebook group I started for that purpose shot up to almost 1000 people in under 24 hours. Eventually however it was revealed that Jesse has a health concern, and he will not know the results of the tests that are being performed until sometime in June. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can join the Facebook group here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/Jesse2020/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/Jesse2020/</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In light of this, Jesse decided to say that he cannot actively seek the nomination at this time. HOWEVER he also said that he would be open to re-evaulate the situation and decide if he can accept the nomination of the Green Party. It is somewhat of a longshot but there is a possibility that enough Greens "write in" his name on their primary ballots, and/or contact the national and state parties that during a brokered convention he could be the nominee. He stated this at the press conference hosted by the Minnesota Green party which he joined recently. Video below. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
But is Jesse Ventura a good fit for the Green party? </h2>
<div>
This is a fair question. I wish however it was getting fair answers. I have been involved in Facebook and Twitter conversations all over the place and even the possibility of Jesse running has supporters of Howie Hawkins and Dario Hunter scrambling to find a way to discredit Jesse or suggest that he is not. It is only natural to expect that people should advocate for their candidate. What bothers me is that people are often outright lying about him. Let me start out first by pointing out that Jesse Ventura like most Independents does not fit his ideology into a little box. I understand this mentality as it is the reason why I for most of my life have never joined a political party aside from a brief time period with Senator Mike Gravel (a progressive) when he sought the Libertarian nomination. People who oppose Jesse Ventura for the nomination of the Green Party have frequently pointed to videos or actions he took many years ago as Governor. But there is plenty of evidence that Jesse Ventura has become a progressive on what I would say are the critical issues that are important to people in the Green Party, and supporters of Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and Andrew Yang. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Wait...isn't he a Libertarian?</h2>
<div>
Some politicians have an issue that is at the core of their beliefs. For Jesse Ventura, it is breaking the 2 party duopoly system. For that reason alone he will support any 3rd party candidate. And yes it is true that he at one time supported Gary Johnson. But to be somewhat fair to him, Gary Johnson was not your run of the mill ruthless minded Libertarian Capitalist. I don't agree with him on many things and I would not expect many members of the Green Party would either. But it is critical to point out that Jesse Ventura <b>also </b>has even more history supporting candidates of the Green Party. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Jesse Ventura is a good friend and supporter of Ralph Nader. He voted for him in 2008. And helped him with his campaign when he was a Green Party candidate. Source: <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=96501&page=1">https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=96501&page=1</a></div>

He also hosted Jill Stein on his "Off the Grid" show and showed support for her, and the views of the Green Party. The video is still hosted on her campaign website from 2016. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having gone from the Ron Paul revolution and having been a Libertarian party member I can say that while Libertarians would admire Jesse's point of view on many issues, they would also be diametrically opposed to him on many more that are critical to Progressive thinking voters. Over the course of the time I have debated this issue on Facebook it seemed to me that for one, people don't even understand what a Libertarian is in the Green Party, and for two even when they are presented with the evidence they simply ignore it.

I could literally go on for hours posting these videos. Jesse's "Off the Grid" show is still on Youtube and OraTV. Here is his episode on Socialism. He advocates a hybrid socialist/capitalist economy that basically amounts to the Democratic Socialism proposed by Bernie Sanders: </div>

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Conclusion:</h2>
<div>
People talk about how only people who "put in the work" deserve the nomination of the Green Party. I value the work that all of the activists did for ballot access. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How much value does the 5% of the vote that Jesse Ventura could bring us have towards the issue of ballot access? It would end all of our issues with that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If he got us into the debates, which he is also FAR more likely to do then any of our current candidates it would be huge for our party.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People are fighting for the right of candidates to run for President who have no executive experience. Who have no electability. And the Green Party if they miss this chance will be irrelevant in another election. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What is the point of all that work if it literally accomplishes nothing? This is a blunt honest truth but it is still absolutely the truth. If we can get our 5% for matching funds, ballot access, etc you can run all the Howie Hawkins and Dario Hunters you want. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of you accuse Jesse Ventura of trying to "use" the Green Party. If that is how you see it, you should look at it like this. Fine. Why don't you use him? He won't be President forever and he will lay the groundwork to crush the two party duopoly. And he will do a hell of a lot more for that then any of our current candidates ever could. It's just that simple. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
DO YOU WANT JESSE?</h2>
</div>
<div>
Many of the remaining primaries for the green party have write ins. Write in Jesse Ventura. He IS a member of the Green Party of Minnesota. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If your state has already held their primary, write an email to the national party and let them know you would support Jesse Ventura for President, and would prefer the vote you cast before we knew he was an option be cast for him. I don't expect them to change the votes. But if we get to a brokered convention the possibility exists. There has been a precedent set where the Green Party has nominated a candidate who was not actively seeking the nomination of our party. </div>

<br />
Yes, I did choose a picture depicting an abusive relationship to represent the relationship between the Progressive movement and the Democratic party. And no, I by no means use this image to make a parody of the very real issue that domestic violence is. But I realized some time ago that this is the perfect analogy for the relationship the Progressive movement has with the Democratic party. And just like so many very real abusive marriages, this one also needs to end.<br />
<br />
The history of the Democratic party is one that would often make you wonder how we ever got to the situation we are in. The Democratic party used to be the party of small government and the party that was pro slavery. Democratic President Andrew Jackson ordered the "Trail of tears", a forced relocation of Native Americans in the name of manifest destiny. The Republicans of that time period ironically were the advocates for bigger government, opposed slavery, etc.<br />
<br />
Sometime after the civil war when a lot of new western states were added to the union, there was kind of a dramatic swap of positions. And long story short the Democratic party changed it's platform drastically to try and get the votes of the poor farmers of the west. In my analogy this could be the young woman who came from a poor family who was courted by a wealthy man who promised to give her happiness and lift her out of poverty.<br />
<br />
There are a few other historical points to make. One would be that a lot of socialist ideas also came to the Democratic party in an effort to try and coax votes from the various incarnations of the Socialist party throughout our history. Over the course of the history of the United States there have been many political parties that are no longer talked about that represented workers, the poor, etc. And a similar marriage happened. With similar unfortunate results.<br />
<br />
<h2>
The Progressive Party of 1912:</h2>
<div>
Formed by Theodore Roosevelt, the progressive party at it's 1912 convention formulated a platform that exemplified the following: </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." </span></h3>
<br />
It was to be a party that formed specifically to oppose the power of big business and the wealthy. And to challenge the dominion that the wealthy had seized over both the Democratic and Republican party alike. Some key points of it's platform:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>That there should be strict limitations on campaign contributions. And that such contributions should be disclosed. </li>
<li>Lobbyists should be registered. </li>
<li>That congressional committee meetings should be recorded and minutes should be published publicly. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
In areas of social policy the platform called for: </h3>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Establishing a national health service. </li>
<li>A social insurance to provide for the disabled, elderly, and unemployed. </li>
<li>To limit the power of judges to bust labor strikes. </li>
<li>A minimum wage law for women. </li>
<li>The 8 hour workday. </li>
<li>Relief for farmers. </li>
<li>Workers compensation for injures sustained while working. </li>
<li>The inheritance tax. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<h3>
Political reforms called for: </h3>
Women's rights or more specifically women's suffrage. Jane Adams was a prominent feminist of the time and is credited as being one of the founders of the party.<br />
<br />
Direct Democracy initiatives to allow citizens to:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li> Recall corrupt officials via recall elections</li>
<li> Citizens referendums to allow citizens to decide on a law by popular vote. </li>
<li>Citizen's initiatives to allow citizens to petition for new laws to be proposed and enacted through popular vote. </li>
<li>And the ability for citizens to even overrule court rulings on laws by popular vote. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Progressive party over the years managed to fill seats in Congress, and a Governor switched from Republican to Progressive to win his election. Years later, many Progressives switched to the Republican Party where not unlike Progressives are treated now, never managed to get nominated by the party leadership for major offices. This eventually lead to the progressive movement finding it's way to the "New Deal" Democratic party lead by FDR in the 1930s. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the years the Progressives fought for issues such as an end to child labor, an end to American imperialism in Latin America, more laws to protect labor unions, etc. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 1948, a new incarnation of the party fought for desegregation, nationalized health care, and an expansion of the welfare system. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h2>
The "marriage" turns sour...</h2>
<div>
Fast forward to 1980. President Jimmy Carter who many would consider a progressive loses the election to Ronald Reagan in a crushing defeat. It would be fair to point out that Carter had been challenged to a primary before this election by Ted Kennedy. There was already concern in the more elitist of the Democratic party that Carter was not an effective leader. Ironically what made Carter ineffective was his inability to play the corrupt games of Washington. He held a lot of progressive views including supporting nationalized health care. He supported gay marriage before it was "cool" and long before Hillary Clinton's famous flip flopping on this issue. Jimmy Carter has come to be someone that the more I learn about him the more I like him. Which might also be why the DNC didn't like him at all. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
After the loss to Reagan, the DNC started considering that it was time for the party to turn in the direction of being "Republican light". And more and more of the Progressive ideals were considered to be liabilities. And that brings me to the situation we seem to have seen play out over and over again in the recent elections. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The DNC continues to push for and nominate candidates that are labeled "centerists". These candidates also tend to lose. These candidates typically pander to the Progressive and Union/Labor element enough to get us on board. Then as things draw closer to the convention the situation is manipulated to ensure that the Progressive voices get less and less time to be heard. In 2008 the more Progressive candidates like Gravel and Kucinich were marginalized by the media and the party. Kicked out of debates as fast as the party could get it done. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Barack Obama pretended to be a Progressive and just like an abusive boyfriend lied to us to get us to stay with him. Then after he got us "in bed" the next morning we woke to find him absent, as he had better things to do with his actual friends, the corporations that the DNC actually values. (This is at the core of the tensions between Bernie Sanders and Obama that lead to talks of a "primary") </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2016 we watched as they again tried to placate us until it was clear we were not falling in line. Finally culminating in a situation where we are bullied, brow beaten, and threatened to obey. <i><u>Because after all, we have nowhere else to go.</u></i> Just like an abusive husband standing over us daring us to leave. Where are we going to go?<br />
<br />
I recall watching a documentary about Ralph Nader, wherein a former DNC insider said those exact words. And explained that was what he was told about Progressives. To ignore us. After all "We had nowhere else to go..." he also stressed that as long as the DNC didn't believe we would ever take our votes away from them they would continue to do just that. Bill Clinton said if Progressives didn't want to live under Republican rule, that we would have to vote for him<i> <u>as we have nowhere else to go.</u> </i>Bill Maher in one of his many rants berating us and ridiculing us for not jumping on the Hillary Clinton bandwagon said the same thing. Ignore progressives because they have nowhere else to go. They count on our vote. Because just like that abusive husband they feel they hold all the cards. The house and the car are in their name. They know they will get custody of the kids. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that brings me back to the analogy I used at the start of this article. The Progressives got married to the Democratic party after promises that we would be respected and that our views would be shared by our "husband". But over the years those promises have not been kept. The covenant of this marriage has been violated. And as a result should be annulled. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every election cycle, like an abused wife we are insulted, intimidated, and ridiculed. If we dare to speak up for ourselves in any way, we are told we are the ones being cruel. (Bernie Bros). We are pushed and shoved, ignored and berated. Then as the primary draws to a close we are again on the floor bleeding as the DNC takes out it's rage at it's own inadequacies on us. We are threatened to be sent back to our equally abusive father. (Trump or whatever Republican) if we don't fall in line and obey. And we do because like many abused wives, we have nowhere else to go. And we have to protect our children, (The poor) who sometimes we can get our abusive husband to help take care of. After we are brutally beaten down during the primary and we are thinking maybe, just maybe we should leave our husband for that nice man down the street who loves our ideas and tells us we are beautiful (3rd parties) our husband shows up with flowers and candy, and begs us to forgive him. He promises it will be different this time and to please not leave... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until next election cycle, when it all begins again. We are blamed for any failings in our husband's life. Even after we obeyed and did what he asked of us. It's still and will always be our fault. The nice man down the street just watches, shaking his head in sadness. He can't understand why we keep doing this to ourselves. And neither can we. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Progressives, it's time to break this cycle. Yes, it will be hard. Maybe the nice man down the street doesn't have as much money or power as our soon to be ex-husband. But if we work together with him we can build something that is right for us. It will take a long time and it will be hard. But it will be right. And we won't be picking ourselves up off the floor bruised and battered. And we will face any adversity together. Supporting one another rather then being told our ideas that are close to our heart are foolish dreams. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div> We need a progressive party. I no longer advocate for joining the Green Party as it has shown that it has all of the same corruption problems that the Democratic Party does. More on that later. </div>
