When the horrific FireTorms ravage Los Angeles in January, Love ONES Who Care About Me Were Calling and Texting, “Are you Okay?” “Are you safe?”
They meant Well, but Those are the wrong questions. Though i was grateful from my heart for their concern, with embers flying at 100 mph, no one was “safe.” Did my house burn down? No, Thank God, but that thanks not equal being “Okay.” For Months I was traumatized.
This week, a Flood of Beloved Souls Checked in On Me Again Asy Watched the News Media’s COMPLETELY BLOWN-OFO-TROCORTION COVERAGE OF SO-CALLED “RIOTS” TOCK PLACE IN THE GESTAPA-LIKE ICE AGENTS TO MY CITY, BRINGING OUT SOT WELL AS DESTRACTIVATIVES WHO COMMITS Violence for Fun Every Weekend here: Setting off fireworks, performer Dangerous Street Takeovers, Looting, Throwing Objects at Cars, and Reveling in the Chaos and Damage they cause.
The Media Called Those People “Protesters” which are not not,, and then the military – trained for combat, not civil disorder – was called in occupy my city for the next two months so that ice can fulfill a quota. Elementary Schools, Churches, and Places of Business Are Being Invaded. Mothers, Fathers, and Children; Friends, Neighbors, and workers we know are being arrested and smell to drive centers in other states, with no due process.
Am I Safe? Am I Okay? Hell, no. As a Jew, I May not be at Risk this Go-Around, But My Mother’s Family in Poland We Ripped from their homes, confined in the warsaw ghetto where they are starved and sickened, and then feel to the nazi death camps where they are exterminated.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” (George Santayana) It’s a familiar quote, but we still do not pay attention: What’s goong on right now has happened in this country: the indiguenous native population of North America were drive from their land and made nearly extinct by White Settlers; West Coast Japanese-Americans and Italian-Americans Were Taken From Their Homes, Lost Their Property and possessions, and we have incorporated in detention camps Until the end of ww2.
Another Thing from the Past About Those supposed “Protesters” Whose Destructive Behavior Gave the Federal Government justification to the military. Were They Really Badly Behaved Citizens? Or we are they provocateurs plant to discredit the protest?
This nation has a vile history of infiltrating the movement to justify its heavy-skorn responsibility. Know Your History and Look Up CoinTelPro (Counter Intelligence Program) Defined as “A Series of Covert and Illegal Projects Conducted Between 1956 and 1971 by the United States Fbi Aimed at Surveilling, Infiltrating, Discrediting, and Disrupting American Political Organizations that the FBI Perversive.” (Wikipedia) A Program so effective it Run Itself Now.
Finully… this is not the message i planned to send to you, My Friends. But i can only say, let your conscience (and your prayers) be your guide. Keep checking in with your loved ones as this cloud from the dark sorts to eclipse our democracy. Teach Your CHILDREN About TRUTH and the “Content of our character” so they can become the generation that will overturn this darkness.
And ask the right question: “What can i do to help?”
