Black Sheriff, David Clarke, Says 'Black Lives Matter' Will Join Forces With Terrorists To Bring Down America
*
We Need to Nip This In The Bud By Demanding This Guy's Resignation - Or Recall
.
I was having a discussion with an online friend over this issue, and he had the following to say:
.
"We strongly disagree on this. Conservatives always demonize black people. Blacks are illegitimate in the eyes of Conservatives. Martin Luther King Jr was a Communist. President Obama is not an American citizen and therefore isn't [in] office illegally. Stop and Frisk was applied to all young black males because every black male was a threat. Black activists stuck with Martin Luther King Jr.and the Civil Rights Act passed in Congress. President Barack Obama was elected twice. Given the Republican Presidential it is likely that The President could be elected for a third term. Activists took down Stop and Frisk. There is a push to have police wear cameras because the public no longer trusts the police. Blacks are always under attack and have always fought back.
.
"Eric, no one knows this nitwit sheriff and his credentials are dust when compared to police organizations and elected officials working to end mass incarceration. The sheriff you fear so much may be a hero to wingnuts, but is dismissed by others. Herman Cain and Ben Carson carry the message that blacks should be feared. Both have no clout beyond the wingnuts. I have no idea why you focus on an impotent idiot. NEVER underestimate the strength of Black people. Always bet on Black."
.
In response, I have to say the following:
.
RM, I've never doubted the strength or intelligence of Black people - it's our focus that I'm concerned about. And while I love your optimism, we haven't been doing so well so far. If we were, a group called "Black Lives Matter" wouldn't be necessary.
.
The Washington Times has reported Black, Milwaukee Sheriff, David Clarke, as saying, “Before long, Black Lies [sic] Matter will join forces with ISIS to [bring] down our legal constituted republic. You heard it first here. . . . I have been right on every call I have made about these subversives. I will be right again." (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/28/david-clarke-black-milwaukee-sheriff-black-lives-m/)
.
You didn't see this coming, RM. but I did. As I told you, we can't out-scream the establish, because they control the the media; we can't out fight the establishment, because they control the military and arms industry; so the only way that we can deal with the White elitists establishment is to out-think them - or at the very least, not allow them to out-think us, and Black Lives Matter - and the Black community as a whole - is allowing them to do just that.
.
But I see why I can't through to you. There are many concepts that you don't seem to get, or at least, accept. A Black Sheriff has credibility among many Americans, and especially conservative wingnuts, because he's saying exactly what they want to hear. So we can't afford the luxury of just writing this man off as another clueless Black man with a big mouth. This guy has credible credentials. Research him. This could very well be the beginning of a right-wing establishment attempt to demonize Black people as terrorist sympathizers in order to mount a campaign against all of us. That's exactly what they did to Muslims and the people of Iraq before they went in and killed and/or imprisoned a million of them. I predicted that this could happen in our earlier discussion when I asked the question, was it possible that BLM had been infiltrated by the Koch brothers. That's a classic "cointelpro" tactic from the sixties. That's how they brought down the civil rights movement.
.
Here's how it works. First, the establish infiltrates a group with Judas goats who seem to be super-militant in pursuit of "the cause." Then they use those Judas goats to convince the people within the group that the more level-headed people in the group are weak and ineffectual, so they should follow them. Thereafter, they start committing acts that will turn off the American people - like snatching microphones during events, and other stupid and seemingly thoughtless acts. That allows the establishment to demonize the group and paint their intentions in any way they like. And now they're extending the activities of the group to Black people in general by conflating the name of the group with the Black population as a whole - after all, what Black person doesn't believe that Black lives matter?
.
That's a tactic that's been being used since the very beginning of this nation and before. We must never forget how they painted the Native Americans as "savages" and wiped them out for simply fighting for their rights. And now you're saying this sheriff is just a clueless Black man with a big mouth!!!? You're being incredibly naive and dismissive of a history that's been repeated for centuries.
.
So with this final attempt to get through to you, I'm going to end this discussion, because I feel like I'm trying to teach calculus to a person who hasn't learned addition and subtraction. And I don't mean that in a disparaging way. I think you're a very intelligent person in many ways, but in this case, as I said before, you're betraying a propensity for being incredibly naive. I can understand your wanting to defend BLM, but never defend stupidity, because their could be an underlying motive for it.
"Many insightful Black people recognize the truth in what I'm saying, but our collective response to it is lackadaisical, indifferent, and completely inept. Just going after one bad cop after he's killed a Black child, and snatching microphones from like-minded people in order to grandstand on stage does absolutely nothing to correct the problem we face.What good has that done? Black people are still being slaughtered on the street, and their personal lives are still being made miserable in their homes, on their jobs, and in the courts. All we're doing with such behavior is showing the powers that be what pushovers we are. We've got to go after the system that spawned and protects that bad cop AS A WHOLE - and in order to do that we're going to have to organize our community, become serious and mature adults with an eye toward the future, and stop giving priority to Beyonce swinging her butt. But currently, we're allowing the social manipulators to keep us completely distracted while they're picking us off one at a time with complete impunity, and as they become more bold, they're going to eventually start coming after us as a group, and that day may be sooner than you think."
.
Now we have this Black Sheriff beginning to demonize Black people, and not just suggesting, but INSISTING that Black people are budding terrorists and a threat to America - and isn't it interesting that they found a Black sheriff? It makes the claim seem a lot more credible, doesn't it? It might even suggest to some that as a Black person himself, he might have some inside information. And isn't it a coincident that he's a rabid, Allen West-like conservative, one of those Black bligots (sic) that the conservatives love to trot out to say the things that they can't say themselves without revealing their bigotry? And do you think it's a coincident that this idiot's charge is being blared with banners all across conservative media? They're trying to see if the charge can get some traction. If it does, Black people are in trouble, and our lives truly WON'T matter then. So we need to come down on this guy, with both feet.
.
This is what it means to allow ourselves to be out-thought by the establishment. We're just sitting on our hands while they've trotted out a BLACK man starting to propagate the position that Black people are a terrorist threat to America. How long do you think it's going to be before they start rounding us up, en masse? They're laying the foundation for it as we speak. Just think about the seriousness of that allegation. They're charging that Black people are going to become a part of ISIS!!! That's the most feared and hated terrorist group in the world. The mere suspicion of that will allow them to suspend the Constitution, round us up, and imprison us without any kind of due process or trial - ask any of the innocent people in Guantanamo.
.
Again, please don't think it can't happen here, because every since the Bush/Cheney administration the United States has been becoming an increasingly more fascist state, and now that the demographics are against the GOP, they're becoming ever more reckless, dangerous, and oblivious to democracy. The fact that they've already corrupted the Supreme Court, given the heads of foreign corporations more influence over our political system than American citizens in "Citizens United," and they're trying to reverse the Voter's Rights Act should speak volumes, even to the very most politically naive.
.
The United States advocated executing people during the Nuremberg trials for doing far less than Bush and Cheney. And did you ever think you'd see the United States condone torture, or the Vice President the United States outing one of our own CIA agents, or 47 U.S. Senators singing a treasonous letter in an attempt to disrupt an American foreign policy initiative in order to promote the interest of a foreign power? I don't think so.
.
So the United States is currently in a very dangerous downhill slide. Republican president, Ike Eisenhower, would have summarily executed people for committing any one of the offenses listed above, so if a fascist-leaning Republican is elected President in the 2016 election, rounding up Black people en masse wouldn't be nothing in the current political environment. Thus, every Black preacher, teacher, journalist, and community activist in America should be all over this, because as long as a Black man can get rich by claiming to take pride in being a gangster, and calling the very womb of our culture bitches and hoes,why shouldn't America believe we're capable of terrorism?
.
Wake up, Black people. It's time to take off our party hats and look at what's going on around us.
Conservatives Claim The GOP 47 Aren't Traitors Because They Didn't Send The Treason Letter By Mail
.
PROTECT OUR TROOPS FROM THE NEOCONS
When it comes to blatant hypocrisy - especially regarding their professed love for America - conservative Republicans tend to be a most rare and highly disingenuous breed. They live to wrap themselves in the flag as if it's their personal security blanket, yet, when it comes to their horrendous assault on the nation and the American people - like shutting down the government, refusing to support our vets (other than in the most weak and disingenuous Aphorisms), continually holding the American people hostage for the benefit of their wealthy cronies, and their blatant obstruction of any and every attempt to provide economic relief for the people - they're prepared to engage in the most ridiculously illogical contortions to try to justify their unconscionable behavior. They treat the American people like we're stupid. They'll slap us in the face, and then lecture us for causing them to injure their hand.
.
Their latest affront to our common sense is in an article written by Deroy Murdock for the National Review. Mr. Murdock say's the following:
.
"Cotton got 46 other senators to sign this letter in ink. “Because it was an open letter, it was not sent to Tehran but rather posted on Senator Cotton’s website and social-media accounts,” Caroline Rabbitt, Senator Cotton’s communications director, explained to me last week. Cotton & Co. never even dropped an envelope in the mail . . . Agree or disagree with that point, here is the inescapable truth: Tom Cotton and his Senate colleagues never contacted anyone in Iran. That fact alone should turn the Left’s fluttering “GOP = Treason” banner into a wet rag.(http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/415456/cotton-letter-was-not-sent-anywhere-especially-not-iran-deroy-murdock)
.
Could this gentleman possibly be serious!!!? Does he REALLY think that the American people are so stupid that we'd buy into as weak an attempt of trying to justify a treasonous act as that - that even though, in this age of mass communication, the Republican 47 posted their treasonous attempt to sabotage an ongoing United States negotiation on an official United States Senate.Gov website that these 47 traitors should be vindicated because they didn't buy a stamp!!!? This simply a variation on one of the weak defenses that's already bombed: "Oh, the letter was only addressed improperly. No big deal. My bad." And there's one other thing. The defense is so disingenuously asinine that implicit within it is the admission that if the letter WOULD have been sent by mail, it indeed WOULD have been treason.
.
If there hadn't been such an explosive outrage over their treasonous stupidity these 47 senators would be struttin' around like peacocks. For the GOP, life is not about what's proper, it's about what you can get away with - and we DEFINITELY shouldn't let them get away with this, because the next time they'll do something worse. These people are without limits, so they're constantly testing ours.
.
So if Mr. Murdock truly believes that his latest concoction of a defense is gonna fly, we need to send the DEA over there to the National Review because they've GOT to be on drugs. perhaps someone over there has gotten into Rush Limbaugh's Oxycontin stash.
.
The Republican 47 didn't avoid sending their treason letter directly to Tehran because they were trying to observe any sort of protocol, or trying to avoid violating the law - they posted it on an official United States Senate.Gov website, and on official United States Senate stationary. In addition, the title makes it abundantly clear who it was addressed to: "AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LEADERS OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN." These 47 Republican senators posted their treasonous and ill-conceived letter online for two reasons - first, they wanted to embarrass President Obama; and secondly, in their stupidity, and bad judgment, they thought they were going to get a slap on the back and that the American people were going to give them brownie points for it.
.
The action of these 47 Republican senators was not only stupid and ill-conceived, but also treasonous and threatens world security. It's a perfect example of why for the past one hundred years, EVERY time the Republican Party is trusted with any kind of power, they drag America down a rat hole. The only exception to that was President Eisenhower's administration, who was a Republican in name only (a Rino), and as his very last act of office, warned America about the Military/Complex, and neocons just like these.
.
Tom Cotton, the freshman senator who was the initiatior of this letter is the protege of Bill Kristol, one of the primary neocons who led us into the Iraq disaster. So either the 46 senior senators who allowed themselves to follow in lockstep behind this wet-behind-the-ears kid - who's only been in the senate a matter of DAYS - have incredibly bad judgment, or there has to be a malevolent agenda afoot. So there needs to be a thorough congressional investigation into this matter. We owe it to America, we owe to our troops, and we owe it to the world.

It Is In The Best Interest Of The United States To Keep This Latest Act Of Republican Treachery On The Front Burner
.
.
The Republicans love to investigate everything, and if ANYTHING calls for a congressional investigation, this does. The instigator of the Republican 47 treason letter was freshman Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who received a campaign donation of a million dollars from a pro-Israeli organization, helping to make the GOP the majority in the United States Senate. Thereafter, the Republican majority in congress invited Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of congress to give a speech undermining the interest of the United States. Thus, these 47 Republican senators were acting against the interest of the United States government as AGENTS of a foreign power. That's TREASON!
.
We've got to stop this kind of thing dead in its tracks. How many more times are American troops going to be sent to die in foreign lands for political gain and the enrichment of the military/industrial complex? So there should be a public congressional investigation of the treason letter, the Netanyahu connection, and Sen. Tom Cotton's association with Bill Krisol, the neocons, and those who would send our troops to die in yet another senseless foreign war.
.
One of the biggest problems that liberals and progressives have is they're not politically aggressive enough. They let things like this latest GOP treason be swept under the rug. They've got to stop that, and stop allowing these un-American fascists to wrap themselves in the American flag. That's what's allowed them to drag America perilously close to a fascist state, and I don't intend that as hyperbole. If America doesn't wake up - and fast! - these creeps are going to destroy this country.
.
The GOP and their corporate cronies are in a no-holds-barred, single-minded struggle to subvert our democracy and turn this nation into a corporate feudalist state, and it shouldn't take but one more Republican stint in the White House. Due to the rapidly changing demographics in this country, the GOP and their filthy rich cronies have become desperate, and as we've just seen, they are ruthless, reckless, totally oblivious to both American law and tradition, completely devoid of a sense of limits. So if they EVER gain power again, they are NEVER going to give it up - regardless to WHAT they have to do. Think about the ramifications of that. It's chilling.
.
And as I pointed out in a previous article, if you're a White social conservative who takes comfort in the ramifications mentioned above, don't, because the rich, fiscal conservatives, don't care any more about poor and middle class White people than they do Muslims, minorities, or gays. You're only being used to keep the working class divided, because the GOP's agenda is so toxic to the American people that their very viability is completely dependent upon maintaining an environment of hatred, animosity, and strife among the poor and middle class. So if they win, they're going to toss aside social conservatives with the tip of their thumb and forefinger like soiled toilet tissue. You heard Mitt Romney - he thinks you're dirt. .
And the Republican 47 Treason Letter isn't the first time the GOP has committed treason against this country, so it wasn't "an accident," and they're not sorry about it AT ALL. They're just sorry - AND SHOCKED - that (for once), it didn't get past the American people's attention.
.
Can you just imagine what the Republican Party would do with this if this situation were reversed!!!? The Democrats need to take note - not just for political advantage, but in the best interest of the nation, because these people are further and further out of hand.
.
Our young people had to pay a huge price at the hands of some of these very same people due to our ignorance and apathy regarding Iraq. Let's not let it happen again. We owe it to America, and we owe it to our troops.

Here are other instances of Republican treasonous behavior:

Am I a hater, you ask? You're damn right I'm a hater. I hate injustice. I hate hypocrisy. I also hate demagoguery, apathy, and the stupidity that allows it to exist. Hater? Absolutely. I'm a big time hater. I hate what I see happening to this country, and I hate watching the development of a culture that embraces ignorance with a stupid sense of pride. So yes, I am indeed a hater, but not only that - I'm a hater with a very low threshold for bullshit, so step off.
