ENDLESS
WARS ON DOMESTIC ENEMIES
The domestic enemies of the
Neo-Fascist Conservatives have always included the disenfranchised, the
dispossessed, the poverty stricken, women, labor, immigrants, blacks,
Latinos, homosexuals, the elderly, and the Liberals that have sought to
help them. With the triumph of the NFC Corporate Greed Society, a
growing segment of the American middle class is being driven into the
ranks of the lower classes, and America is again becoming a two-class
nightmare nation of the super-rich and everyone else.
These are some of the
domestic wars fought against these enemies of the
Neo-Fascist-Conservatives:
The NFC Holy War on
Women
With the words of the
Hebrew Bible, restated in all subsequent rewrites of the Latin Roman
Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and English Protestant bibles, women became
the eternal temptress of man, and subject to his rule.
Adam said: “The
woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I
ate.” The woman said,
“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” The Lord God said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain
you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband,
and he shall rule over you.” The King James Bible,
Genesis 3: 12-16
The struggle for
Freedom and Liberty for women, since the beginning of the recorded
history of male dominated Monotheistic religions, has purposely
relegated one half of all humanity to second class status. In the last
“civilized” millennia, the Christian Bible, the Jewish
Torah, and the Islamic Qu’ran, in particular, have been used to
discriminate against women; by perpetuating superstitious belief in
women’s basic evil nature, which leads to the Madonna worship
versus Whore of Babylon dichotomy. Forced Clitoral Circumcision and
Honor killings of women are still a routine practice in many Muslim
nations.
This has not always
been the case. In fact, many of the pagan religions revered women as
Goddesses, recognizing their reproductive role in the continuation of
the human species. After Constantine, when the Christian religion
became the official religion of the Roman Empire, all of the Pagan
religions, which frequently worshipped female gods, such as the
Egyptian Goddess Isis, and sexual freedom, became as illegal as
Christianity had been. Pagan temples were destroyed, and the followers
of these religions were persecuted and killed, as aggressively as the
Christians had been a few centuries before.
Following the Judeo
tradition, the early founders of the Latin and Greek Orthodox Christian
Churches considered association with women to be unclean and an
occasion for sin, especially when they were menstruating. Many early
Christian clerics became reclusive hermits, and shunned all contact
with women. Shunning women, they also shunned all healthy human contact
and love, which is personified in women.
“Unlike Winston,
she had grasped the inner meaning of the Party’s Sexual
Puritanism. It was not merely that the sex instinct created a world of
its own which was outside the Party’s control, and which
therefore had to be destroyed if possible. What was more important was
that sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable; because it
could be transformed into war fever and Leader worship…there was
a direct, intimate connection between chastity and Political Orthodoxy.
For how could the fear, the hatred, and the lunatic credulity, which
the Party needed in its members be kept at the right pitch, except by
bottling down some powerful instinct and using it as a driving
force.” “1984,” by George Orwell, 1949
These Monotheistic
churches eventually all became exclusive male dominated institutions,
with a high incidence of sexual perversion, which then used their Holy
Scripture to degrade and discriminate against women, even while
claiming to elevate them.
As late as the 17th
Century, this prejudicial attitude toward women resulted in widespread
heresy and witch trials and burnings in Europe, and later in the
English Colonies, as well as the Spanish New World.
“Adam,
freely taste, and fear of death deliver to the winds’ so saying
she embraced him…from the bough she gave him of that fair
enticing fruit with liberal hand…against his better knowledge,
not deceived, but fondly overcome with female charm.” John Milton, “Paradise
Lost,” Book IX, 1667
The inferior position
of women is still the rule within the Catholic Church, the Islamic
Faith, the Orthodox Jewish, and the CNF sects. These male dominated
religions stress that women must obey their man who, like Christ, is
the head of his household. It permeates all of their philosophy, and is
at the heart of the controversy over the appointing of women ministers
or priests in some denominations.
The Burning Bush:
“It has been
told by the prophets in the land that there is a President coming out
of Texas, a Burning Bush. He will deal with abortion in the land.”
Rev. James Nesbit
The most controversial
issue by far, is the right of women to control their own bodies in
matters of; sex, marriage, pregnancy, and birth of children. Here in
the land of the free, women have had to struggle to secure all of the
rights that the Constitution automatically gave to every white male
American. The NFC Republicans and CNF Christians fought them every step
of the way, and stand in their way to this day. Whether it was for the
right to vote, equal pay for equal work, the right to hold political
office, or to have control over their bodies and the reproductive
process, women are still struggling for Liberty and equality in the
world’s male dominated societies.
“Women in the
workforce have become so prevalent that a man’s role has been
reduced to a sperm donor.” John Ashcroft,
Fanatical CNF Crusader, Bush's First Attorney General
The problem of
abortion, which the CNF Crusaders are so concerned about, would go
away, if young women in the U.S. were given timely sex education and
access to prophylactics. The New York Times recently cited statistics
which showed that European young people are about equally active
sexually, but, deprived of sex education, American girls are five times
as likely to have a baby as French girls, seven times as likely to have
an abortion, and seventy times as likely to have Gonorrhea, as girls in
the Netherlands. The incidence of HIV/AIDS among American teenagers is
five times that of the same age group in Germany.
In 1918, Senator James
Vardaman, Democrat from Mississippi, opposed the Nineteenth Amendment
(granting the women the right to vote) and called for the;
“…repeal of the
Fifteenth, the modification of the Fourteenth… making this a
government by white men, of white men, for all men.”
Senator William Borah,
a Conservative Republican, from Idaho, also opposed suffrage, on racial
grounds, saying;
“…there are
100,000 Japanese and Chinese women in the Pacific states, and I have no
particular desire to bestow suffrage upon them.”
The Nineteenth
Amendment was finally ratified in 1918. Government By the
People, Burns, Peltason, Cronin, Magleby, 1993
In 2003, an
investigation at the Air Force Academy found sexual assault “a
part of life” for female cadets. The investigation arose after
almost 150 women came forward to say that they had been assaulted by
fellow cadets between 1993 and 2003. Congress then ordered an
investigation of the Army and Naval Academies. The investigation was
conducted by a panel of 12 Military Officers and civilian experts. The
Report issued on August 25, 2005, cited 2004 Pentagon data showing 50%
of women at all three Academies were harassed, mostly verbally; but
dozens suffered physical abuse. The report concluded:
“A culture that
devalues the role of women in uniform makes it easier for rape and
sexual harassment to occur. When women are devalued, the likelihood of
harassing and abusive behavior increases.”
The report naturally
failed to mention the fundamental devaluation of women which is
instilled in the people, by the religious dogma of the world’s
major religions.
Emergency
Contraception Pill Denied to Women
In September 2005, the
Associated Press reported that the highly regarded women's health chief
at the Food and Drug Administration resigned in September 2005, in
protest of her agency's refusal to allow over-the-counter sales of
emergency contraception.
Asst. Commissioner
Susan Wood charged that FDA's leader overruled his own scientists'
determination that the morning-after pill could safely be sold without
a prescription, and stunned his employees last week by instead
postponing indefinitely a decision on whether to let that happen.
"There's fairly widespread concern about FDA's credibility" among
agency veterans as a result, Wood told The Associated Press hours after
submitting her resignation.
“I have spent the last
15 years working to ensure that science informs good health-policy
decisions,” Wood, director of FDA's Office of Women's Health, wrote in
an e-mail about her departure to agency colleagues. “I can no longer
serve as staff when scientific and clinical evidence, fully evaluated
and recommended by the professional staff here, has been overruled.”
It was an
unprecedented public show of discord for the FDA, and prompted
lawmakers to call for congressional hearings into whether the nation's
leading public health agency allowed religion and politics to trump
science in determining the fate of the morning-after pill called Plan B.
“It is time for the
FDA to stop playing games with the health and well-being of millions of
American women,” said Sens. Patty Murray, D-WA, and Hillary Rodham
Clinton, D-NY. “Day by day, the public's confidence in the FDA's
ability to make decisions based on scientific evidence of safety and
efficacy is eroding.”
The Democratic Party
Leadership deserves credit for leading the fight for Women’s
Rights The NFC Republicans and their Christian-Nationalist fanatics
treat women as commodities and are the eternal enemies of Women’s
Rights.
Any woman that votes
for the NFC Republicans is voting against her own welfare, health and
civil rights.
The NFC War on
Black-Americans
“We hold these
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness” The
Declaration of Independence
The opening of the war
on black Americans dates to 1638, when English merchants began the
slave trade with the American colonies. It continues to this day.
“…in all
times some must be rich, some poore, some highe and eminent in power
and dignite; others meane and in subjection.” John Winthrop,
Governor, Massachusetts Bay Colony
The English dominated
the slave trade with more than a hundred ships dedicated to carrying
slaves, but American investors also entered the trade. In 1780, over
142 years later, Pennsylvania became the first to pass a law abolishing
slavery, but by 1790, 500,000 slaves were recorded in the U.S. It has
been estimated by research of shipping records, that by 1800, 10 to 15
million blacks had been forcibly transported from Africa to the
Americas as slaves.
“Before
I’d be a slave, I’d be buried in my grave, and go home to
my Lord and be saved.” Old Negro Civil War Era Spiritual
The employment of
slaves became an integral part of the agricultural economic system in
most of the colonies; but was greatly expanded in the Southern states
which established large cotton and rice plantations. It was not
until 1808, that the U.S. ended the slave trade, by constitutional
mandate, but from the beginning the law went unenforced. It has been
estimated that 250,000 additional slaves were imported illegally. At
the start of the civil war 4 million of them were to be found in the
U.S.
The plantation system
of the agricultural economy needed land and labor. Land was seized from
the Native American tribes, and the cheap labor was supplied by the
slave traders. The lush farmlands of states like Virginia, North
Carolina, and Kentucky, which produced tobacco; and the states of the
deep south, like Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana, which produced cotton and rice, needed ever more slaves to
expand and increase profits for the Aristocratic landholders.
“There was one
of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have
one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive.”
Harriet Tubman (Tubman a Former
slave, was a famous conductor on the Underground Railroad, who escorted
more than 300 slaves to freedom, making nineteen dangerous trips into
the South.)
“I, John Brown,
am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be
purged away but with blood. I had as I now think vainly flattered
myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done.” John
Brown, Note intended to be read after his Execution
In 1860, Abraham
Lincoln became the 16th President. Unwilling to recognize Lincoln as
President, eleven Southern states seceded from the Union, and formed
the Confederate States of America. When Fort Sumner was seized by the
rebels, the Civil War began. It raged from 1861 to 1865. In 1865,
Lincoln issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the
slaves in the states that were still fighting against the union. It was
a military move which gave the Southern states four months to stop
rebelling, or their slaves would be freed. It was a welcome sign to the
blacks and the white abolitionists.
“That on the
first day of January, AD 1863, all persons held as slaves within any
state or designated part of a state the people whereof shall then be in
rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward and
forever free.…” Abraham Lincoln
With more than 600,000
Americans killed, the Civil War was the bloodiest in human history up
to that time, and it left an indelible stain of hatred for black people
in the Confederate South. In 1865, the 13th Amendment, abolishing
slavery, was passed, Lincoln was assassinated by a conservative
Southern sympathizer, and Vice-President Johnson was sworn in as
President. He immediately announced a moderate Southern Restoration
Plan, and issued pardons to most confederates.
“The world has
never had a good definition of the word Liberty, and the American
people just now, are in want of one. We all declare for liberty, but in
using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the
word Liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself,
and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean
for some men to do as they please with other men.” President Abraham
Lincoln
Shortly afterward,
Mississippi issued its “Black Codes”, limiting the rights
of freed blacks. Black codes then spread throughout the south.
In 1866, the
“Civil rights Act of 1866” granted citizenship to all
people born in the U.S. and permitted former slaves to own property,
file lawsuits, and serve as witnesses in courts. In the same year,
Congress passed the Fourteenth Amendment, to enforce the
Constitutionality of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, (which the Southern
States rejected) and The Ku-Klux-Klan white supremacy group was founded
in Tennessee. By 1868 KKK groups, such as the Kentucky Night Riders,
had spread throughout the south, and then to many northern states. The
“Civil rights Act of 1875” enacted penalties for racial
discrimination on public transit, and in other public places. It also
prevented discrimination in employment, and established the rights of
African-Americans to serve on juries. In the same year Reconstruction
was officially ended in the South, and U.S. troops were removed. Before
the Reconstruction Program had enough time to change the culture of the
South, political power was returned to the White male dominated
society, and the northern political leaders abandoned the black
population to the control of their prior slave masters. Economic,
political, and physical slavery quickly returned to the old South.
Black people began a “Black Exodus” from the South to the
northern states, to escape Paleo-conservative White Democratic Party
rule.
The long hard struggle
from Slavery to Liberty was just beginning:
In 1882, a
Paleo-Fascist Conservative Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Rights
Act of 1875 was unconstitutional!
In 1890, Missouri
passed a Poll Tax law, which disenfranchised poor black voters. The
Poll Tax spread all across the South.
In 1896, the
Paleo-Fascist Conservative Supreme Court handed down its infamous
decision in the Plessy v. Ferguson case, which effectively repealed the
Civil rights Act of 1875, upholding Separate but Equal facilities and
services for blacks.
In 1898, Louisiana
established literacy voting standards and property requirements for
blacks, while excusing white voters.
In 1900, a law to
criminalize lynching was proposed in Congress, but failed in committee.
Few whites raised a voice in protest!
By 1900, White
Supremacy was again an unchallenged reality in the South, where the
largest proportion of Blacks lived. Blacks were kept from voting and,
forced to accept menial or heavy farm labor jobs, and were denied all
educational opportunities. In 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court, had given
Constitutional sanction to government imposed racial segregation, and
in that year, blacks were being lynched an average of one every four
days.
The Mind of the South:
“Proud, brave,
honorable by its lights, courteous, personally generous, loyal, swift
to act, often too swift, but signally effective, sometimes terrible, in
its action---such was the South at its best. And, such at its best, it
remains today, despite the great falling away in some of its virtues.
Violence, intolerance, aversion and suspicion toward new ideas, an
incapacity for analysis, an inclination to act from feeling rather than
from thought, an exaggerated individualism and a too narrow concept of
social responsibility, attachment to fictitious and false values, above
all too great attachment to racial values and a tendency to justify
cruelty and injustice in the name of those values, sentimentality and a
lack of realism---these have been its characteristic vices in the past.
And, despite changes for the better, they remain its characteristic
vices today.” W.J. Cash, “The Mind Of The South” (an
ideological and social history of the South from Colonial times until
the beginning of WWII)
In 1915, D.W. Griffith
released the KKK sympathy film called “The Birth of a
Nation” and massive Ku-Klux-Klan rallies and marches were held
all around the country. By the 1930s KKK membership numbered in the
millions!
In the 1930s Blacks
began to resort to the courts, to challenge the doctrine of segregation
and to secure their civil rights, without much success.
In 1936, the Black
American sprinter, Jesse Owens, won four Track and Field Gold Medals at
the Summer Olympics in Berlin, hosted by the Fascist leader of the
Master Race, Adolf Hitler.
“No more than
nature desires the mating of weaker with stronger individuals, even
less does she desire the blending of a higher with a lower race.” Adolf Hitler, Mein
Kampf
Blacks fought to free
foreign populations in WWI and WWII, but it made little difference in
their treatment, when they returned home.
After WWII, civil
rights litigation began to have an impact, and the Liberal Democratic
Supreme Court, appointed largely by President Roosevelt, began to
reverse earlier decisions made by Paleo-Conservative Justices,
appointed by Conservative Presidents of both parties, since the civil
war.
In 1947, a
Presidential Commission called for an end to segregation, and
Democratic President Truman endorsed the report.
In 1954, the Supreme
Court, largely consisting of Liberal Democratic appointees; ruled in
Brown v. Education, that “the Separate but Equal doctrine was
inherently unconstitutional” overturning Plessy v, Ferguson.
The NFC Republicans
have since, understandably become the critics and enemies of the
Supreme Court Activist Judges, the Public School system, and the
Teachers unions.
Public Schools-Servant
of Democracy:
“One of the
great ideals of the founders of the American Republic was their belief
in a system of Universal Free Public Education—a concept most
fervently voiced by Thomas Jefferson and his followers. Jefferson was
firmly convinced that no people could be Free and Ignorant at the same
time; hence, the school is the indispensable servant of
Democracy.” Horace Mann
In 1955, the same
Supreme Court ordered the states to desegregate all schools With all
deliberate Speed.
In 1955, Emmett Till,
a black teenager was brutally murdered in Mississippi by several white
supremacists; but an all white jury found them not guilty, prompting a
national outrage.
In 1955, seamstress
Rosa Parks was removed from a bus, in Montgomery, Alabama after she had
refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus.
This act of civil
disobedience, by a respectable black woman led to the now famous bus
boycott by black riders, who were the principal users of the
city’s buses. Her lone protest became the first of many
confrontations of a massive social, political, economic, and legal
movement for equality. In 1957, the Democratic controlled Congress
overrode a Southern filibuster in the Senate, and enacted the first
civil rights laws since Reconstruction.
In another
demonstration of the greatest generation, the traditional-conservative
Ladies of Montgomery’s Maxwell AFB Officers Wives Club, normally
only interested in golf, bridge games, and sherry parties; demonstrated
their true nobility, when they defied the city government, and served
as a free taxi service for the city’s black maids.
In 1957, 25,000 Blacks
joined Rev. Martin Luther King in a prayer pilgrimage to the Lincoln
Memorial.
In 1957, the Civil
Rights Act of 1957 to protect Black Suffrage was signed by the moderate
traditional-conservative President Eisenhower. This was the first Civil
rights legislation since 1875.
In 1957, Eisenhower
sent Federal troops to Little Rock High School, in Arkansas, to enforce
school integration.
In 1958, Arkansas
Governor Orval Faubus evaded federal integration orders by closing all
little Rock Public Schools, and reopening them as private, segregated
schools.
This is the genesis of
the war on Public Schools by the NFC Republicans, and the shift to
Private Religious schools all over the South.
By the end of the
1950s, there was a national consensus everywhere, except in the
Southern states; favoring government action to protect civil rights for
Blacks, including the right to vote. However, a decade after the
Supreme Court declared Public School segregation unconstitutional, most
Black children were still attending segregated schools.
In 1960, the Civil
Rights Act of 1960 strengthened existing Civil rights legislation.
In 1961, violence
followed a series of Freedom Rides on public buses in Alabama, to test
if the states were complying with integration laws. U.S. Marshals
intervened.
In 1962, James
Meredith was enrolled at the University of Mississippi, with the aid of
Federal Marshals, a major riot ensued and Federal troops had to be
called in.
In 1963, Martin Luther
King began a desegregation crusade in Birmingham, Alabama, and Federal
Marshals integrated the University of Alabama by force, despite
threatened physical interference by Segregationist Governor George
Wallace.
In 1963, Martin Luther
King and more than 200,000 people joined a Civil Rights march called
the March on Washington, at which King gave his famous “I have a dream”
speech.
In 1963, NAACP leader,
Medgar Evers was assassinated in Jackson, Mississippi. The perpetrator
was found not guilty.
In the summer of 1963,
a series of violent confrontations began all over the South. The
American people were witnesses to televised riots where fire hoses,
police dogs and brutal excessive force was used against the peaceful
black marchers. These were followed by the police attacks on the
peaceful march from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery. It ended in a march
in Washington, DC, where 250,000 people heard Dr. Martin Luther King,
and other civil rights leaders speak eloquently on the principles of
Non-Violence, Liberty, Freedom, and the Human rights of all Americans.
Millions of Americans watched on television, and were ashamed.
By the end of the
summer there was virtually no city of any size, North or South that had
not experienced demonstrations, marches, protests, and sit-ins, some of
which became violent.
President John F.
Kennedy urged Congress to enact a comprehensive Civil Rights bill, but
he was killed before he could see its passage. Democratic President
Lyndon Johnson, a Nationalist-Liberal Southern Democrat, took up the
challenge and gave Civil Rights legislation his highest priority. On
July 2, 1964, he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law.
In 1968, a
Presidential Advisory committee issued its report on the causes of
civil disorder;
“Our nation is
moving toward two societies, one black, one white, separate and
unequal.” Otto Kerner,
Presidential Advisory Committee on Civil Disorders, 1968
The highly regarded
Mr. Kerner would have to have been living on the moon, not to have
known that such a division of society had been in existence for over
two centuries.
In 1964, President
Johnson announced the Great Society, the War on Poverty, an the Civil
rights Act of 1964; which banned discrimination in Education,
Employment, and public accommodations, and the 24th Amendment outlawed
Poll Taxes.
“From time to
time… a negro has for the first time become a lawyer, teacher,
or even a pastor,…a heroic tenor, or something of the
sort…a new proof of the soundness of the…theory about
equality of man…it is criminal lunacy to keep on drilling a born
half-ape, until people think they have made a lawyer out of
him…that is a sin against the will of the Eternal Creator.”
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf
In 1964, the Reverend
Dr.King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
By the middle of the
1960s there was a persistent effort for the abolition of all color
barriers, but by 1962 only 5% of Blacks in Mississippi had registered
to vote. The barriers to voting were many and ingenious; including poll
taxes and unfair tests that black people could not pass.
In 1965, The Voting
rights Act of 1965 outlawed literacy tests for voting. In the same
year, the Watts riots left 34 dead, after the beating of a black
motorist by police.
In 1967, called the
Long Hot Summer, race riots broke out all over the U.S.
In 1967, Thurgood
Marshall, former NAACP lawyer for Brown v. Board of Education, became
the 1st black Justice on the Supreme Court.
In 1967, The Supreme
Court ruled, in Loving v. Virginia, that laws prohibiting interracial
marriage were unconstitutional.
In 1968, James Earl
Ray assassinated Martin Luther King, in Memphis, Tennessee.
In 1969, J. Edgar
Hoover declared the Black Panther Party; Public Enemy # 1, but said
nothing about the KKK organization and its violence and murder of black
people for a century.
In 1970, the Governors
of Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana vowed to fight school integration,
and the FBI did nothing.
In 1971, The
Criminal-conservative President Nixon devised the Southern Strategy,
which feeds on the fear, hate, and prejudice of many Southern Whites.
Hundreds of white conservative Democratic Party politicians switched to
the Republican Party. Within thirty years the South had became a solid
Republican stronghold.
In 1978, The U.S.
Supreme Court ruled, in Bakker v. University of California, that
Affirmative Action to achieve equality; was constitutional.
In 1990, Nelson
Mandela was freed in South Africa; after worldwide protests and
boycotts of South African goods. This marked the end of the South
African version of Segregation, called Apartheid. The American bigoted
Arch-Conservative Republicans had supported Apartheid, and the racist
South African government.
In 1992, The Los
Angeles Police that beat Rodney King, were found not guilty; this led
to riots in Los Angeles.
In 1992, President
Clinton sent troops to Haiti to restore order and restore
democratically elected President Aristide to power.
In 2000, President
G.W. Bush was elected and a process began to turn back all Social
Progress Programs and Civil and Human Rights gains of the past 75
years. The NFC Republicans accuse moderate Justices of being so-called
Activists, and efforts are made to pack the court with NFC/CNF
Republican Judges.
In 2005,
Un-compassionate-conservative President Bush demonstrated lack of
competence and compassion, and complete contempt for Black Americans,
when he failed to act in a timely manner to help the Hurricane Katrina
victims. Many died unnecessarily.
In an NFC Republican
future, Blacks and other minorities face regression on many fronts in
their long struggle for Liberty.
Lynching of Blacks is
Still Not Illegal in the USA!!
In June 2005, Reuters
News reported that the U.S. Senate had formally apologized for having
rejected decades of pleas to make lynching a federal crime, as scores
of victims' descendants watched from the chamber's gallery. On a voice
vote and without opposition, the Senate passed a resolution expressing
its regrets to the relatives as well as to the nearly 5,000 Americans,
mostly black males, who were documented as having been lynched from
1880 to 1960.
These deaths occurred
without trials, mostly in the South, often with the knowledge of local
officials who allowed mob lynchings to become picture-taking, public
spectacles. During this period, nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were
introduced in Congress, three of which passed the House of
Representatives. But despite the support of the legislation by seven
U.S. presidents, the measures died in the Senate, with much of the
opposition coming from Southern lawmakers who raised procedural
roadblocks, and argued for States Rights in such cases.
Such legislation would
have made lynching a federal crime and allowed the U.S. government to
prosecute those responsible, including, if necessary, local law
enforcement officers.
The resolution
expresses apologies not only to the victims of lynchings, but also to
their descendants, nearly 200 of whom came to the Capitol to witness
passage of the measure.
No lawmaker opposed
the measure, but 20 of the 100 senators had not signed a statement of
support for it shortly before a vote was taken on a nearly empty Senate
floor. Incredibly, 17 U.S. Senators failed to sign the apology, mostly
from the South, including both CNF Republican Senators from
Bush’s home state, Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn of Texas,
who both claimed to have been too busy to act as co-sponsors!
The Death
Penalty—Legalized Lynching
There is roughly an
equal number of black and white murder victims in the United States
each year. Yet, “80 per cent of the more than 840 people put to death
in the USA since 1976 were convicted of crimes involving white victims,
compared to the 13 per cent who were convicted of killing blacks.” A
U.S. Justice Department study found prosecutors “were almost twice as
likely to seek the death penalty for black defendants accused of
killing non-black victims than for black defendants accused of killing
black victims.” Once a capital case is underway, prosecutors “give more
white defendants than black defendants the chance to avoid a death
sentence,” by entering into plea bargain agreements and white defendant
were “almost twice as likely as black defendants to enter into such
plea agreements.”
During a death penalty
trial “prosecutors regularly exclude black potential jurors from
service.” A 2003 study of jury selection in Philadelphia, Pa. capital
cases “revealed that prosecutors used peremptory challenges; the power
to exclude potential jurors for any reason aside from race or gender,
to remove 51 percent of black potential jurors while excluding only 26
percent of non-black potential jurors.” Since 1977, “at least one in
five of the African Americans executed...had been convicted by
all-white juries.”
The NFC Republican
Hate Party
The American South had
for many decades of the 20th Century, had a strong KKK presence, with
30-50 incidents of hate crimes per year, including lynchings. By 2005,
cross burnings, not seen in a generation, began again, first in North
Carolina, where the state reported 37 active Hate groups in operation.
The Southern Poverty
Law Center has for decades, been tracking more than 700 such right wing
Hate groups in the U.S. (P.676) The Law Center has been at the
forefront of battling these Hate groups in court, including; “The
White Aryan Resistance” (WAR), “The Church of the
Creator” of North Carolina, “The United Klans of
America” of Alabama, “The Christian Knights of the
KKK” of South Carolina, “The Invisible Empire of the
KKK”, “The White Party Militia” (Paramilitary, 1,000
strong), “The Aryan Nations” led by the infamous Richard
Butler of Idaho, and “The National Alliance”( led by
it’s Neo-Nazi founder, William Pearce, author of the
“Turner Diaries”, the Bible for American Neo-Fascists and
Neo-Nazis)
It is not accidental
that many of these groups emphasize their Southern, Christian and White
Racial identities. They are acting out the vile propaganda spewed by
the NFC Republicans and the CNF Crusaders.
In 1967, federal
charges were filed against 18 Klansmen. Several were convicted, but
none served more than six years in prison a new wave of black church
burnings began again in Tennessee in 2005, after 80 year old Klan
member, Edgar Ray ‘Preacher’ Killen, who had been indicted
for organizing the 1964 slayings of 3 civil rights workers, was put on
trial in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and convicted. Killen was found
guilty of manslaughter.
In July 2005, the AP
reported that Sparta, Tennessee, had suffered seven fires, and the
destruction of two black Churches, in a black neighborhood, categorized
as Arson, and called racially motivated by the residents.
Blacks, homosexuals,
immigrants and their liberal defenders were bracing for a new reign of
terror.
The NFC Republican
Brownshirts
The hate-filled
rhetoric of the NFC Republican propagandists has inspired hundreds of
hate groups to act out their racist, Anti-Semitic, Homophobic, and
Xenophobic prejudices.
Racial
Hygiene-Euthanasia Prelude to Genocide:
“It is
understandable that the so-called negative measures of racial hygiene,
namely ones to eradicate defective elements have always been at the
centre of public interest. Apart from the question of mental
deficiency, the problem which still remains unresolved in the sphere of
eradicatory racial hygiene is that of the so-called anti-social
elements or social misfits, those with hereditary diseases, unemployed,
professional vagabonds, petty thieves,…the problem posed by
Jewry…There is the deepest imaginable gulf in outlook on life
dividing us from the mentality which accorded every living creature the
right to procreation.…” Walter Gross, Director, Nazi Office
for Racial Policy, August 1941, Racial policies led in 1939 to
“Euthanasia Action” which resulted in well over 100,000
Ethnic Germans being murdered
In mid-December 2005,
Dr. Heinrich Gross, a prominent Neurologist in Austria, died peacefully
in Vienna at age 90. Gross was a leading doctor in Vienna’s
infamous Am Spiegelgrund Clinic, and one of the last living Nazi
doctors who worked at Nazi Racial Hygiene clinics to eliminate
“worthless lives.” Gross had escaped trial for his role in
the cruel experiments and murder of thousands of children. Over 5,000
children were killed for real or imagined mental, physical, or social
disabilities.
In July 2005, a new
White People’s Party sprang up in Las Vegas, when its chairman
Michael O’Sullivan, a Las Vegas real estate broker, filed with
the state. The Party caters to the white Race and all of its policies
will be decided on whether they are good for non-Jewish people of
wholly European descent. O’Sullivan is also the state leader for
the Neo-Nazi hate group called National Vanguard.
NFC Republican
candidate Doug Hanks gave up his race for the Charlotte City Council on
August 4, 2005, after The Rhinoceros Times, a local publication,
discovered approximately 4,000 postings Hanks had put on the Neo-Nazi
hate site: “Stormfront.org” In his postings, Hanks had
compared Blacks to Rabid Beasts.
Klansman Daniel
Schertz, a former member of the White Knights of the KKK, was arrested
in May 2005, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for selling five pipe bombs to
an informant and an undercover ATF agent. Schertz hoped the men would
use the bombs to “take care of” a group of Hispanic
immigrants.
On August 29, 2005 a
Federal Judge sentenced Sean Gillespie to 39 years for firebombing a
Jewish Temple in Oklahoma. Gillespie, who once belonged to the White
Supremacist group The Aryan Nations, raised his hand in a stiff-armed
Nazi salute as the Judge turned her back and left the court.
The FBI, guided by its
history of bigotry, inherited from its founder; J. Edgar Hoover, has
for decades disproportionately targeted Black politicians for
undercover sting operations. One of these operations actually bore the
racially prejudiced and insulting name of the “Frumenschen”
(Primitive Man) Sting.
On August 4, 2005,
Allan Lengen of the Washington Post reported another story of the NFC
dominated FBI, targeting Black politicians:
“FBI agents
raided the Washington and New Orleans homes of Rep. William J.
Jefferson (D-La.) yesterday as part of an ongoing public corruption
probe,” law enforcement authorities said.
Agents conducted
early-morning raids at Jefferson's homes in the 1300 block of F Street
in Northeast Washington and in the 1900 block of Marengo Street in New
Orleans, authorities said. His car on Capitol Hill was also searched.
“There were search
warrants executed today in connection with an ongoing criminal
investigation,” said Bryan Sierra, a Justice Department spokesman.
“Since the investigation is ongoing, we would not be in a position to
comment any further.”
Sources familiar with
the probe, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the
sensitive nature of the case, said investigators were looking to see
whether Jefferson used his congressional influence in business dealings.
In 1990,
Jefferson, 58, became the first African American to be elected to
Congress from Louisiana since Reconstruction. The eight-term
congressman is a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee and its
trade subcommittee.
The FBI and their NFC
Republican protectors have been the constant adversaries of all Black
people
Since the beginning of
the Conservative Revolution, a handful of Black traitors to their own
people, such as: Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, and Condaleeza Rice,
have gone over to the NFC Republican camp, for the customary twelve
pieces of silver and the illusion of acceptance in the Aristocratic
ranks of their arch enemies. Colin Powell; who was once considered a
viable Presidential candidate to be the first Black President, was
shamefully used by the NFC Leaders, and lost his once sterling
reputation by falsely misleading the UN and the U.S. population on the
phony evidence of WMD in Iraq.
The Democratic Party
Leadership has not done enough to correct the inequities faced by Black
people in the criminal justice system, or to stop the aggressive
targeting of Black and other minority politicians by the NFC FBI.
Any Black American
that works for or votes for the NFC Republicans is voting against his
people’s interests, and his own welfare.
The NFC War on
Latino-Americans
The Declaration of
Independence does not talk about the equality of White, Christian, or
Anglo-Saxon men, but all men (or mankind). Thus far we have established
most of its lofty sentiments have not applied to Women, Native
Americans, and Black slaves, who enjoyed neither Liberty nor equality
for most of our history.
The struggle for Civil
and Human Rights, promised by our Constitution, has not been limited to
Native Americans, Women, and Black people. Each new wave of immigrants,
especially those who were of darker skin, from southern regions in
Europe, and from Central and South America, have been discriminated
against, by those who had arrived earlier; especially the White
Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs), who claimed heritage from the original
English colonies.
The Spanish and
Portuguese colonial rulers of Central and South America, and their
descendents, left a legacy of exploited, impoverished, uneducated, and
extremely poor populations throughout the region. This was followed in
the 19th and 20th centuries, by Yankee Imperialism, which perpetuated
the ruling classes in power, further reducing the people to quasi-slave
status. The ruling class of wealthy landowners controlled the economy
and the politics, in an American version of Feudalism, keeping the
common Latino in a state of degradation and ignorance. The result was
continuous and bloody uprisings, revolutions, and civil wars, in what
became known as the Banana Republics. These conditions contributed to
the further decline of Latino society into an extreme two-class system
of extremely poor Campesinos, and a small very wealthy and powerful
Patron ruling class. Over the past hundred years, those who could,
escaped this grinding poverty and oppression, by voting with their
feet. These Americans came to the U.S.A.
In the Southwest U.S.
the Anglo settlers had worked in collusion with the government to
foment a revolution and strip Mexico of half of its territory. Later,
lies and aggression were used to seize much of Spain’s
possessions. The Mexican settlers in Texas and California cooperated
with the Anglos and joined with them in the revolt against Mexico. This
was quickly forgotten after the Mexican War, and Mexican-Americans
began to experience discrimination and outright hatred all across the
Southwest U.S.
Until recent decades
no provision was made for the education of Mexican-American children in
the Southwest. When they were eventually admitted into the schools,
they were segregated from Anglo children, theoretically because of
their language handicap. They were actually punished for speaking
Spanish and were considered to be an inferior race.
It has been estimated
that there are 30 million Latinos residing the U.S. About half of these
are from Mexico, 2-3 million are from Puerto Rico, and over 1 million
Cuban refugees claim to have escaped the oppression of the Castro
regime, but in fact, they came for the same economic reasons that all
Latinos come to the U.S. Latino-Americans have served Honorably in the
U.S. Armed Forces in all U.S. foreign wars, as the U.S. military has
frequently been the only route of advancement. In fact, there is
evidence that Latinos have been exploited by the U.S military. On
Tuesday, July 5, 2005, an Austin-American Statesman story included a
story by Jorge Mariscal, of the University of California. Mariscal
wrote;
“Does America
only need Latinos during wartime?“
The
Times… quotes a senior Army officer as saying, ‘General
Sanchez, as a role model, is extremely important. The Army sells
growth, opportunity and development. We cannot ignore what our
population makeup is.” The “population” in this
instance is the rapidly growing number of Latinos of military age
trapped in inferior public schools, with high drop-out rates and
minimal access to higher education. They are the long-term target of
the Pentagon's multi-billion dollar military recruiting campaign.
History teaches us
that the war record of Mexican Americans is distinguished and
beyond reproach. The invasion and occupation of Iraq will extend that
record into the future. But the dark side of this community's wartime
experience illuminates the contradictions at the heart of U.S.
Society's treatment of its own citizens of Mexican descent.
Early in the summer of
1943, with thousands of Mexican Americans fighting and dying in Europe
and the Pacific, sailors attacked Mexican American youths in the
streets of Los Angeles and other Southern California cities. While
police stood by and conservative newspapers fed the anti-Mexican
hysteria, servicemen assaulted young men and women, ostensibly for
wearing zoot suits, and then widened their attack to the general
population.
In East Los Angeles,
one young Mexican American wrote: ‘This is supposed to be a free
country. We don't go around beating up people just because we don't
like the clothes they wear. Whose side is the Navy on anyway?’<
In the summer of 1970,
with thousands of Mexican Americans fighting and dying in Southeast
Asia, Chicano antiwar protestors gathered in East Los Angeles to
denounce the war's impact on local communities. The 25,000 men, women,
and children had just arrived in Laguna Park when L.A. County sheriffs
and police tear-gassed and attacked the crowd, clubbing men and women
to the ground and eventually killing three.
Writing to a local
newspaper, one G.I. in Vietnam said: ‘We, the Chicano soldiers,
have something to say to our brothers in East Los Angeles. We were
proud when we heard of the East Los Angeles demonstrations. But why did
you stop there? We sit here impatiently waiting to get home.”
In the summer of 2005,
with thousands of Mexican-Americans (as well as thousands of non-U.S.
citizen Mexican nationals) fighting in Iraq, the so-called Minutemen
hunt Mexican workers along the border and harass them in locations as
diverse as Southern California and eastern Tennessee. Hiding behind the
issue of illegal immigration, and tacitly supported by politicians such
as Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Minutemen join the long line of racist
bullies who pockmark U.S. history.
As Chicano Vietnam vet
Charley Trujillo puts it:
“They call us
Americans when they need us for a war. The rest of the time we're just
dirty Mexicans.”
As history repeats
itself yet again, young and old alike will ask themselves whether
those “…who enlist to serve the agenda of the Bush administration do so
por patriota, o por pendejo - because they are patriots, or fools.”
Mariscal served with
the U.S. Army in Vietnam in 1969. He now teaches at the University of
California, San Diego.
Latinos are a talented
race of people that have excelled in all industries and professions,
including; sports, entertainment, music, education, military, medicine,
and a host of other fields. They have proven, that given an opportunity
they will make a positive contribution to any endeavor; benefiting the
commonwealth of our nation.
Every year hundreds of
thousands of Latinos from Mexico and Central America cross the 2,000
mile border known as the land bridge to jobs and opportunity, and enter
the U.S. without formal permission, in a desperate effort to find a
better life or work to support their families. Latinos have strong work
ethics, strong religious beliefs, and strong families. They typically
take hard laboring jobs that most Anglo workers will not even consider.
The U.S. building and agricultural industries have benefited from this
source of cheap labor; but in many cases, these illegal workers are
exploited and paid below the already inadequate minimum wage.
The NFC Republicans
constantly emphasize only their illegal immigrant status and the
involvement in street crime of a small percentage of their people.
Crime statistics prove that, like Black Americans, Latinos suffer
disproportionately from police harassment, racial targeting, false
arrest, excessive force, conviction, and imprisonment.
White Anglo-Saxon
Protestant Nationalist-Conservative Republicans have traditionally been
opposed to immigrants from all parts of the world that are populated by
the dark skinned races, and especially from countries that are Roman
Catholic. They fear that the Latinos, who are predominately poor and
Catholic, will vote for Liberal Democrats.
The NFC Republicans
are schizophrenic about the problem of Latino illegals. Those of their
supporters, who wish to exploit the cheap labor, favor Work Permits,
which do not lead to citizenship; and those who are totally Xenophobic,
want them rounded up and deported, fearing that these dark skinned poor
people will degrade the country and dilute their voting strength. These
are the people that constantly demand that English be mandated as the
Official language of the U.S. or who become involved in vigilante
groups like the Minutemen.
The NFC Republicans
are the eternal enemies of Latinos and they must never support them,
even if the candidate is a moderate. However, Latinos are their own
worst enemies, they do not acquire Citizenship for an average of 18
years after entry, and then they fail to vote in sufficient numbers, to
insure that programs beneficial to their people are passed.
Latino-Americans that
vote for NFC Republicans are voting against their own interests.
The NFC Criminal War
on Crime
“No, No said the
queen. Sentence first—Verdict afterwards. He’s in prison
now, being punished: and the trial doesn’t begin until next
Wednesday: and of course the crime comes last of all. Suppose he never
commits the crime? Said Alice. That would be all the better,
wouldn’t it? The Queen said.” Lewis Carroll, “Through
The Looking Glass”
During the 1960s thru
the present time, the NFC Republicans have used phony statistics, the
entertainment media, and deliberate propaganda, to convince the
American people that the rate of crime, especially in the inner cities,
was exploding out of control. The Democrats have been accused of being
soft on crime, and in knee jerk reaction, the Democratic Party leaders
agreed to the passage of many draconian laws, and appropriated billions
to fight crime, that eventually transformed the USA into the biggest
jailor nation on the planet, and included the USA in a circle of the
most repressive regimes in history in terms of the sheer number of
crimes that were encoded in its laws, and the brutality of its prisons.
An Earlier Law and
Order Man:
“State Authority
must provide for Peace and Order, and Peace and Order in turn must
conversely make possible the existence of State Authority” Adolf
Hitler, Mein Kampf
Federal Undercover
Entrapment Operations Rampant
Prior to 1973, it was
not constitutionally permissible for a police agent to engage in the
Entrapment of a person in the United States. In numerous court cases,
beginning in 1894, the Supreme Court had ruled that Entrapment was not
a legitimate police method of getting convictions.
“Congress could
not have intended that its statutes were to be enforced by tempting
innocent people into violations.” Sherman v. United States, 1958
This all changed in
1973, when the NFC dominated Supreme Court gutted most Entrapment
defenses. Nixon NFC Republican ideologue, William Rehnquist wrote the
majority opinion which focused solely on the subjective predisposition
of the entrapped person. If prosecutors could find any inkling of a
defendant’s disposition to the crime, then the person would be
guilty, no matter how outrageous or manipulative the government
agent’s behavior. This one decision; coupled with undercover
operations which involve wire-tapping and recordings of conversations,
has resulted in the corruption of the FBI and other law enforcement at
all levels, who, instead of investigating actual criminal activities,
now routinely resort to manufacturing crime in order to prosecute it.
“The
defendants’ objections to the evidence obtained by wire-tapping
must, in my opinion be sustained. Experience should teach us to be most
on our guard to protect Liberty when the government’s purposes
are beneficent.” Justice Louis D.
Brandeis, dissenting, Olmstead v. United States
It is widely reported
that all of the child porn offers on the Web are actually law
enforcement at all levels of government attempting to tempt people into
downloading their sick offers, which then automatically becomes a sex
crime.
In May 2005, Law and
Order fanatic NFC Republican James Sensenbrenner, pushed thru a new
bill (H.R. 1528) that imposes minimum mandatory jail sentences for a
wide new range of offenses, including a bizarre provision which
provides a mandatory jail sentence of three years, for any parent that
is “aware” of drug-trafficking activities near their
children, but fails to report the alleged activity to police within 24
hours!
The measure also
includes $250 million for federal law enforcement and $100 million for
local law enforcement to fight teenage youth gangs. With a wise program
of cost sharing with the states and corporate sponsors, that would have
been enough money to give virtually every unemployed youth in the
country a decent job! Bob Herbert of the New York Times has pointed out
that among teenagers the unemployment rate is 63.7% - the highest ever
recorded. The unemployment rate among those 20 - 24 is 27.8%, a 7%
increase since 2000.
Describing the NFC
Gulag:
“The degree of
civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.” Fydor Dostoevsky
By 2005, the U.S.
prison population stood at 2.1+ Million people, having doubled in the
past ten years. One in every 75 Americans is in jail. With 5% of the
world’s population, the U.S. has 25% of the world’s
prisoners, making it the leading jailor in the world! We are #1 with
715 per 100,000 incarcerated, and Russia is next with 584 per 100,000
At this rate by 2050,
approximately 65 million Americans will be incarcerated, or over 10% of
the entire population, and the nation will consist of over 200 Million
Americans that will have spent some time in jail!
“Therefore be
merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.” “Judge not, and you
shall not judged.” “Condemn not, and you
shall not be condemned.” “Forgive, and you will
be forgiven.” Jesus Christ, The King
James Bible, Luke, 7: 36-37
Prisons are the New
American Growth Industry!
The U.S. is the
world’s leading jailer, imprisoning around 25 percent of the
world’s prison population in spite of representing only around 5
percent of the entire world’s population. Of black men in their
20s and 30s, one in eight is imprisoned in the U.S., compared to only
one in 63 white men. Yet Justice Department statistics show that from
1994 to 2003, violent crime fell by over 33 percent and property crimes
by 23 percent!!
Justice or Injustice:
“That Justice is
often extremely unjust is more than a present-day observation, Summum
jus, summa injuria, is one of the most ancient of proverbs…Such
injustice is meted out by tyrants, and particularly by fanatics, who
always become tyrants, when they are given power to do mischief”
François Voltaire
A Prison Industrial
Complex (PIC) has grown to massive proportions as a result of the NFC
Republicans and their Democratic Party allies; and their ever-expanding
web of financial relationships with institutions, individuals, and
corporations that benefit from continued reliance on mass imprisonment.
“On a day in
late October, suddenly striking in every city and village and
black-hill hide-out, the Corpos ended all crime in America
forever…Seventy thousand selected Minute Men, working in
combination with town and state police officers, arrested every known
or faintly suspected criminal in the country. They were tried under
court-martial procedure; one in ten was shot immediately, four in ten
were given prison sentences” “ It Can’t Happen
Here,” by Sinclair Lewis, 1935
According to the
Veterans for Common Sense, the number of federal inmates in private
facilities prisons and halfway houses has increased since 2000, by
two-thirds, to more than 24,000. Thousands more detainees not convicted
of crimes are confined in for-profit facilities, which now hold roughly
14 percent of all federal prisoners, compared to less than 6 percent of
state inmates.
Business is certain to
grow. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley said the number
of federal inmates is expected to rise from 185,000 to 226,000 by 2010,
with private companies likely to be relied on for housing non-citizen
immigrants convicted of federal crimes.
The number of people
detained by U.S. immigration officials also is increasing rapidly, up
three-fold in the past 10 years to more than 21,000 at a given time. In
December, Congress passed a terrorism prevention bill calling for
40,000 additional beds by 2010 for aliens awaiting deportation.
About 30 states use
private prisons, notably in the South and West. Texas has the most
inmates in private facilities, more than 16,000; New Mexico has the
highest portion of inmates in private prisons at 43 percent.
“The drug war has been
the main cause of profits for private prisons,” said University of
North Florida criminologist Michael Hallett. “We've gotten so extreme
in overusing incarceration that we have for-profit industries with an
interest in high crime rates.”
In terms of excessive
punishment and general treatment of lawbreakers in U.S. society, the
U.S. NFC instigated Criminal Justice system, ranks among the most
savage in the world; but every year, the NFC big punishers demand ever
more Law and Order, at whatever it costs the American society, in lives
destroyed, and resources wasted.
“Prevention of
crime is of greater importance than its punishment” Marchese
Cesare B. Beccaria, Criminologist and Economist, Milan, Italy
(1783-1794)
Beccaria was a product
of the Enlightenment, and the first modern writer to subject the death
penalty to fundamental criticism. He wrote the most influential book
ever written on the reform of the criminal justice system. In a
systematic fashion he attacked the savage methods of Law and Order of
his day. He denounced the use of torture and secret interrogations in
the judicial process, argued for proportionality of penalties to
offenses, and the importance of removing the social causes of crime
among the lower classes, for practical and economic reasons.
The NFC Lust for the
Death Penalty:
“The Law is not
about forgiveness, it is oftentimes about vengeance, oftentimes about
revenge.” John Ashcroft, Fanatical CNF Crusader, Bush Attorney
General
The U.S. has a dark
history of using the most hideous methods of execution, including
hanging, the gas chamber, and the medieval torture of the electric
chair. Now the theoretically humane lethal injection, similar to that
given to stray dogs, has given cover to these horror rituals, which
demonstrate the absolute power to destroy life, that the government
claims to demand on our behalf.
In 2004, the moderate
Republican Governor Ryan of Illinois shocked the Law and Order
fanatics, when he cleared out the state’s death row, after
declaring the state’s death penalty system to be
unconstitutionally executing innocent persons. DNA evidence had proven
that innocent people had in fact been wrongfully convicted and executed
in Illinois. In fact, hundreds of DNA case appeals were proving that
all across the U.S.; the greatest horror in the field of Justice was
occurring with regularity.
“Lay then the
axe to the root, and teach governments humanity. It is their sanguinary
punishments which corrupt mankind. In England the punishment in certain
cases is by hanging, drawing and quartering; the heart of the sufferer
is cut out and held up to the view of the populace. In France, under
the former government, the punishments were not less barbarous. The
effect of those cruel spectacles exhibited to the populace is to
destroy tenderness or excite revenge; and by the base and false idea of
governing men by terror, instead of reason, they become
precedents.” “The Rights Of Man”, by Thomas Paine
Within a few years the
system enforcers had their revenge. The NFC FBI targetted Governor Ryan
in an undercover sting operation called Operation Safe Road. As a
result of this sting, 73 people were convicted for offenses involving
corruption in the issuance of driver’s licenses. It was a real
stretch, but using typical FBI coercion and threats, and offers of
leniency they were able to work their way up the food chain to Governor
Ryan, who was their real target. As a result of coerced testimony; Ryan
has been charged with racketeering, conspiracy, mail fraud, lying to
the FBI, and tax fraud!
The scandal has
destroyed the popular Governor’s reputation and career. Although
he has denied all wrongdoing, he did not seek re-election.
The message is
don’t mess with the Law and Order Enforcers!
The expanded use of
the Death penalty, the way it falls most heavily on the poor and the
minority population; and the mounting evidence that the U.S. Criminal
Justice System is corrupt, reflects the brutality and lack of Christian
principles of the NFC politicians, and puts the United States in a
small circle of Police State regimes.
“That it is
better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person
should suffer, is a maxim that has been long and generally
approved.” Benjamin Franklin,
March 14, 1785
In August 2005, the
Washington Post reported on a speech by Supreme Court Justice John Paul
Stevens, in which he issued an unusually stinging criticism of American
capital punishment, telling the American Bar Association that he is
disturbed by “serious flaws.” Stevens said DNA evidence has shown;
“…that a substantial
number of death sentences have been imposed erroneously. It indicates
that there must be serious flaws in our administration of criminal
justice,…”
Other moderate Supreme
Court justices have also spoken out about concerns that defendants in
murder cases are not adequately represented. But Stevens made a much
harsher condemnation. He said Supreme Court cases have revealed that “…a significant number
of defendants in capital cases have not been provided with fully
competent legal representation at trial.” In addition, Stevens said he
had reviewed records that showed “special risks of unfairness” in
capital punishment.
“Juries might
not be balanced because people who have qualms about capital punishment
can be excluded by prosecutors,” he said. He questioned whether
potential jurors are distracted by extensive questions about their
death penalty views. A statement from a victim's family, Stevens said,
sometimes “serves no purpose other than to encourage jurors to decide
in favor of death rather than life on the basis of their emotions
rather than their reason.”
Unfortunately, Stevens
will be in the minority, once the Bush NFC nominees join Neo-Fascist
Justices Scalia, and Thomas.
The NFC Republicans
have led the U.S. into an unenviable position in the world. Urged on by
the NFC Death penalty advocates; Capital punishment returned in 1977.
By December 2005, there were only 12 states that did not have the death
penalty; and the states had executed their 1,000th convict, 830 by
lethal injection. The makeup included 11 women and 22 prisoners that
were juveniles at the time of their crime, and 34 who had evidence of
mental retardation. Bush’s Compassionate-Conservative Texas led
the nation, with 355 people executed. By November 2005, There were
approximately 3,400 inmates, including 118 foreign nationals awaiting
execution.
Since 1972, after a
five-year voluntary capital punishment moratorium, 122 prisoners in 25
states have been freed from death row, the majority due to DNA evidence
and the efforts of the Innocence Project, a New York based legal clinic
that seeks to exonerate inmates through DNA testing.
The support for
Capital punishment has slipped from 80% in 1994 to 64% in October 2004,
but the NFC Republicans in Congress have been pushing legislation that
will significantly speed up the trying and executing of prisoners, and
make it even harder to appeal convictions to the Federal courts.
The Right To Bear
Murder Weapons
There might not be so
many murders in the U.S. if handguns were not so prevalent in our
society.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, American children are
sixteen times more likely than children in other industrialized nations
to be murdered with a gun, eleven times more likely to commit suicide
with a gun, and nine times more likely to die from firearms accidents.
The Johns Hopkins
Center for Gun Policy and Research reports that the rate of firearm
homicide in the United States is nineteen times higher than that of 35
other high-income countries combined! In the most recent year for which
was available, handguns killed 334 people in Australia, 197 in Great
Britain, 183 in Sweden, 83 in Japan, 54 in Ireland, 1034 in Canada, and
30,419 in the United States!
Although four out of
five Americans prefer modest restraints on firearms, the NFC
Republicans and the Gun Manufacturers’ Lobby, called the National
Rifle Association (NRA), has so demagogued the issue, that legislation
controlling purchase of Semi-Automatic weapons that had previously
passed with the support of Presidents Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton,
was allowed to expire in 2004. A new bill was also passed that protects
all gun manufacturers from liability if a buyer uses an assault weapon
in a terrorist attack. Now that’s real Patriotism!
The “Law and
Order” NFC Republicans can rest easy now that manufacturers and
importers of semi-automatic assault weapons (AK-47s, AR-15s, UZIs
etc.), designed only for killing other humans, are now available to
every gun nut and criminal in America, insuring a supply of Death
penalties out into the foreseeable future.
Last year Amnesty
International reported that 97% of all executions had been carried out
in four countries: China, Iran, Vietnam, and the United States. Not the
best company for the nation that once called itself the world’s
leading Democracy and the leader of the Free World.
Criminal Justice
Rappers
“Prosecutors
have become the new rappers; Do the Crime-Do the Time, Three Strikes
and Your Out, and worst of all; Adult Time for Adult Crime. Courts in
the U.S. have been prosecuting children as adults, who are too young to
vote, get married or drink alcohol legally, and meting out punishments
of life without parole.”
“The law ought
to impose no other penalties but such as are absolutely and evidently
necessary; no one ought to be punished, but in virtue of a law
promulgated before the offense, and legally applied.” Declaration
of the Rights of Man and of citizens by the National Assembly of
France, quoted in his book of the same name, “Rights of
Man”, by Thomas Paine
In the first national
analysis of life without parole sentences for children, Amnesty
International and Human Rights Watch discovered that there are
presently 2,225 people in the U.S. sentenced to life in prison without
parole, for crimes they committed as children. Contrary to popular
belief, most of these children do not have long rap sheets of vicious
crimes; and an estimated 59 % received the sentence for their
first-ever conviction. There are also marked racial disparities. Black
youth are 10 times more likely to receive life without parole sentences
than white youth.
The NFC government of
the U.S. stands alone along with Somalia, as the only countries that
have not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which
explicitly prohibits life imprisonment without the possibility of
release for children under 18. At least 132 countries forbid life
without parole for juvenile offenders by domestic law or practice. Only
four countries have juvenile offenders serving life without parole,
with only a dozen cases outside the United States.
NFC Biblical
Rappers-An Eye for an Eye
This often misquoted
biblical passage is one mantra of the Law-Order-
Punishment-Conservatives that have so radically Stalinized the American
Criminal Justice system. Most Americans would agree that anyone
committing a violent crime, such as armed robbery, rape, and assault,
should be incarcerated. The problem is that a large percentage of the
people convicted of financial and victimless drug crimes, are serving
long sentences that serve no purpose other than to prove that
politicians are tough on crime. First time offenders, especially those
who were innocent and those where the punishment far exceeds the
legitimate needs of society, receive a criminal post-graduate degree in
these Devils Island Crime Universities.
Unless they received a
life sentence, most of these offenders will be back living amongst us
again. They have been brutalized by society; and are now called;
Convicts, Jailbirds, and Felons. They have no prospects for anything
other than menial employment, and constant targeting and harassment by
police. It should not be surprising that the recidivism rate is so high.
First of all, there is
a problem with the traditional classification of crimes into only two
categories; Felonies and Misdemeanors. In the federal system, a crime
is automatically classified as a Felony (without specification of
degree) if a crime prescribes a sentence of one year or more; thus,
virtually all Federal crimes are Felonies. It would be much more
effective and less costly to society, to establish several new
categories of crimes and Misdemeanors, such as: Financial Malfeasance,
and Controlled Substance Abuse.
Such crimes should
carry penalties or rehabilitation sentences more appropriate to their
essentially social or property offense.
Thus, when we
encounter a case where a Martha Stewart is convicted of committing a
Financial Malfeasance, it would have been far better to have assigned
her to work in a soup kitchen for the poor. The poor would have voted
for that punishment!
If “Kennie
Boy” Lay of Enron is ever convicted, there will be many thousands
of employees and stockholders that will be urging that he be jailed for
a long time, and they may be right, considering the extent of the
criminality. However, it somehow seems more appropriate and more
punishing, that he be reduced to pauper status, and sentenced to serve
as a janitor in a drug half-way house for the remainder of his life.
(Notice that he has yet to be tried by his Bush allies in the Justice
Department.)
Our obsession with
Crime and Punishment is steadily destroying our society. America is
either the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave or the largest
criminal society on earth; we can’t have it both ways.
The Democratic Party
Leadership Is deeply Complicit.
Any American or their
family members that have ever been victimized by the corrupt American
Criminal Justice System, if they can vote, must never vote for any NFC
Republican, or they are voting for an ever expanding Police State, and
against their own interests.
The NFC Never Ending
War on Drugs
Next came the NFC
Republican demand for the generic War on Drugs. This war has caused
more incarceration of young, Black, and Latino Americans for victimless
crimes, than any other laws in U.S. history. Again the Democratic Party
leadership bowed to the Neo-Fascist-Conservatives and agreed to pass
ever more oppressive laws to protect us from ourselves, and appropriate
additional tens of billions every year to catch and prosecute
individuals for personal transgressions, in most cases, involving the
virtually harmless use of the Devil Weed, Marijuana.
For example, instead
of demanding proper scientific proof of the medical effects of
Marijuana (such as the famous study completed by the popular Mayor
Fiorello La Guardia) Democratic Party leaders were only too anxious, to
appease the NFC Republicans and follow manufactured public opinion,
which had been fanned by lies and exaggerations, produced by NFC
radical propagandists in the media, and in the police and prison
bureaucracies and industries, which are the only ones who benefit from
these Police State policies.
The biggest threat to
young people are hard drugs such as Heroin, Cocaine, and
Methamphetamines, but the entire Federal and State Police Bureaucracy
is so busy busting Medical Marijuana, and minor entertainment users of
marijuana, they have no time to eradicate the most dangerous drugs from
the street.
In July 2005, in an
unbelievable demonstration of stupidity, the U.S. Government Drug
Enforcement Agency once again announced that the biggest drug threat to
America is Marijuana, while the threat from the real dangerous drugs
continues to grow in urban and rural areas of the nation.
The Wars on Crime and
Drugs together have turned the nation’s inner cities into war
zones, and allowed the Federal government to exponentially increase its
Police power over State and local police functions. It also insured
that hundreds of thousands of young, poor Whites, Blacks, and Latino
Americans would never enter the voting booths, for having committed
victimless crimes.
In an ironic
consequence, Blacks and Latinos are increasingly being recruited into the so-called
Criminal Justice field, for employment as jailors, where large numbers
of them work in the booming prison industries, guarding and abusing
their own people for a corrupt criminal justice system.
The Democratic Party
Leadership is deeply Complicit
Any American or their
families that have ever been prosecuted and punished for the possession
or use of narcotics especially Marijuana, and who can vote, must never
vote for the NFC Republicans, or they are voting for the expansion of
the Police State, and against their own interests.
The NFC Militarization
of American Police Forces
The effects of a never
ending Law and Order drumbeat since the 1960s have resulted in the
gradual transformation of America’s civilian Police forces into
virtual military armies that regularly abuse U.S. citizens, especially
in the poor and minority areas. Many departments, even in small cities,
now deploy special Police units that look more like Ninja Assassin
Squads, than peace officers, in their Special Forces black fatigues,
armed with heavy weapons. The Police Chiefs of most major American
cities have taken to wearing the insignia of Four Star Generals,
clearly sending a message that they are running a military command, and
not a civilian police force. Contrast this with the unarmed English
Bobbies, and the French Gendarmes and you should get the picture.
This culture of
militarization of our civil police forces has led to many high profile
instances of excessive force, assault, sadism and murder, by oppressive
shoot first cops. Some of these included the high profile cases in New
York City, and the case of Rodney King in Los Angeles. Police officers
regularly engage in unnecessary killings, unjustified shootings, severe
beatings, fatal chokings, and unnecessary, rough physical treatment in
cities throughout the United States. Their police superiors, city
officials, and even the Justice Department fail to act decisively to
restrain or penalize such acts, or even to record the full magnitude of
the problem. A handful of Video Camera recordings of cases of incidents
of criminal activity by American police are typical of thousands of
cases of police abuse every year that go unreported, unproven, or
unpunished, because they were not caught on videotape. For example, in
1998, Human Rights Watch reported that only one officer out of 38,000
New York City cops has been dismissed as the result of complaints to
the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
In efforts to curtail
drug traffic, and related gang violence in their cities, politicians of
both parties have frequently given their police direction to use these
military assault tactics; and have equipped their departments with
heavy weapons more suitable to an Army unit, than a police function.
Force has frequently become the first choice; where a negotiator would
have been able to defuse the situation. This inevitably leads to
violence and the deaths of officers and suspects.
Another favorite
tactic of all police forces is the Keystone Cops Car Chase. Regardless
of the type of offense or suspicion, any driver attempting to escape
becomes a co-dependent partner in an insane high speed race which
frequently endangers innocent bystanders and motorists. With the
availability of helicopters and traffic cameras, all car chases could
become an artifact of an earlier less technological period, if it were
not so exciting and so much fun for the police officers.
In recent years the
Federal Department of Justice has created Task Forces of Federal, State
and Local Police, to deal with Drug trafficking, gang violence, and
recently, the never ending Global War On Terror. The unconstitutional
threat of this leadership of local and state police by the Feds, poses
no problem to most State and local politicians, as long as the federal
funds keep flowing. Added to this mix is the use of Regular Army and
National Guard assets in an increasing number of cases. By October
2005, U.S. Army Combat units had taken up positions along the southern
border to help stop the harmless campesino immigrants trying to find
work in the U.S.
During the siege of
the Branch Davidians at Waco, Texas, National Guard Tanks and other
military weapons systems, including assault helicopters, were used
against lightly armed men, and unarmed women, and children. The FBI
Hostage Rescue Team, led by a former Army Officer, turned out to be an
FBI Death Squad, intent on killing the people in the compound. Many
children died in the Holocaust that resulted, and none of the federal
agents involved in these murders has ever been punished!
“No Law can be
Unjust. The Law is made by the Sovereign Power, and all that is done by
such power, is warranted.…” Thomas Hobbs
In James
Bovard’s book, “Freedom in Chains”, he addresses the
issue of “Government Immunity” that legitimizes this
coercion and criminal abuse of the American people;
“Sovereign
Immunity”—P. 188 (excerpts)
To better understand
the concept of sovereignty, we will examine some of the injuries that
government permits itself to inflict. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
declared in 1907: “A sovereign is exempt from suit…
[because] there can be no legal right as against the authority that
makes the law on which the right depends” Federal court decisions
on lawsuits against federal agencies routinely include the following
boilerplate: “Where a suit has not been consented to by the
United States, dismissal of the action is required”
“Such judicial
genuflection to government was not always the case. In 1793, in the
first case involving a lawsuit against a state government, four of the
five Supreme Court justices ruled that governments could be sued
regardless of whether they deigned to permit such suits (Chisholm v.
Georgia) But in 1821, Chief Justice John Marshall, offering no
evidence, rewrote the rule book: “The universally received
opinion is, that no suit can be commenced or prosecuted against the
United States; that the judiciary act does not authorize such
suits” (Cited in Davis, Administrative Law Treatise) “A
1945 Supreme Court opinion declared that sovereign immunity is
“embedded in the Constitution (Kennecott Copper Corp. v. State
Tax Corporation) However, neither law professors nor private citizens
victimized by the government have ever been able to find precisely
where in the Constitution this doctrine is “embodied.”
“Congress has at
various times enacted legislation purportedly to curb the injustices of
sovereign immunity. Congress enacted the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA)
in 1946 to permit lawsuits against the federal government. However,
Congress specifically exempted 13 different classes of tort claims from
government liability. Citizens are not permitted to sue the federal
government for “any claim arising out of assault, battery, false
imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, abuse of process,
libel, slander, misrepresentation, deceit, or interference with
contract rights.”
“In 1971, in
Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents of the federal bureau of Narcotics, the
Supreme Court ruled for the first time that individual federal
employees could be sued for civil damages for violating citizen’s
rights. However, subsequent court decisions made it practically
impossible for any citizen to gain a Bivens-type victory in court. In
the first 17 years after the Supreme Court decision, 12,000 Americans
filed Bivens suits against federal employees; only 30 of the cases
resulted in judgments on behalf of the plaintiffs… and only four
judgments have actually been paid by the individual federal
defendants.”
“The essence of
sovereign immunity is that “the king can do no wrong” But
as professor Jeremy Travis noted, “The oldest purported rationale
for the immunity of the sovereign… is a perversion of its
historical intendment, which was that the king was privileged to do no
wrong” As one English lawyer explained in the wake of James
II’s fall, “When a king…does wrong, he thereby
ceases to be king…. God and the law are above the king”
But, in the contemporary Statist interpretation, a phrase intended to
prevent kings from injuring subjects becomes a license for government
abuses of the citizenry.”
“Sovereign
immunity creates a two-tier society; those above the law and those
below it…”
It is inconceivable
that the judiciary of a nation that fought a war of Independence
because of abuses by a Sovereign, would so readily award the same
license to abuse the citizenry, to the government, in which
theoretically the people are Sovereign, not the government officials
and agents!
“The total State
must not know any difference between Law and Ethics” Adolf Hitler,
Totalitarianism, by Hannah Arendt
The Democratic Party
Leadership is deeply Complicit in the destruction of the Sovereign
rights of the American people, by an anti-liberal NFC judiciary, and
Police State security forces.
Any American or their
families that have ever been harmed or abused by a government authority
or agent must not vote for any NFC Republican or they perpetuate the
perverse idea that the government is Sovereign over the American people.
Fascist and
Conservatives have always shown a fear of sex and intimacy. They are
constantly complaining about the loss of morals in society, and the
excesses of the sexual revolution of the 1960s, especially the
liberties of homosexuals to be free to pursue their lives and sexual
preferences. Some Psychiatrists have associated these extreme phobias
with secret homosexual tendencies or experiences, but history has shown
that Fascists and Conservatives frequently have a preference for other
more violent perversions; such as child molestation and Sado-Masochism.
Fascist Sexual Phobias:
“A struggle
against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our public life today is
like a hothouse for sexual ideas and stimulations. Just look at the
bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville, and theaters and you
will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food,
especially for the youth.” Adolf Hitler, Mein
Kampf
Hitler had an
unnatural sexual relationship with his own niece; which was thought to
involve Sado-Masochism, and he was known to be a sexual eunuch. She
eventually committed suicide. Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, and the
Gestapo, who headed the most barbaric systems of torture and mass
murder in history; was a 24-year old puritanical Christian virgin in
1929, when he was appointed the Reichsfuhrer of the SS.
Goehring was widely
known to have had perverse sexual tastes, and Rohm, the head of the SA
(Brownshirts), and other leaders of the group who were killed during
the Night of the Long Knives, had become notorious for their homosexual
habits. When arrested, they were reported by the SS to have been found
in bed with their male lovers. (However, this story seems to be in
keeping with the Fascist aversion to anything homosexual). Psychology of Fascism
- Sado-Masochism:
“Since the term
‘sado-masochistic’ is associated with ideas of perversion
and neurosis, I prefer to speak of the sado-masochist character,
especially…the ‘Authoritarian’ character. This
terminology is justifiable because the sado-masochistic person is
always characterized by his attitudes towards authority. He admires
authority and tends to submit to it, but at the same time wants to be
an authority himself and have others submit to him. The Fascist system
calls itself Authoritarian because of the dominant role of authority in
its social and political structure…it represents the personality
structure which is the human basis of Fascism.” Erich Fromm,
Social Science Researcher, Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, 1942
Over the years many
Homo-Phobic-Conservative politicians that have been the greatest
persecutors of gays, have turned out to have been gay themselves, to
have close relatives that were gay, or as many experts suggest, have
themselves suppressed homosexual tendencies.
For example, in May
2005, the powerful NFC Republican Mayor of Spokane, Washington, who had
been a Sheriffs Deputy, Boy Scout Leader and Washington State’s
Senate Majority leader, was accused of being a Homosexual, and a
pedophile. Mayor Jim West had built his career supporting legislation
hostile to gay Rights, including a failed bill to bar gays and lesbians
from jobs at schools and day-care centers.
The Spokane Spokesman
Review had released the story of Mayor Jim West’s secret life,
involving several gay men, including one who he appointed to the
Spokane Human Rights Commission. Two other men accused West of having
molested them in the late 1970s, when they were 7 and 11 years old, and
while he was a Deputy Sheriff and Cub Scout Leader.
The paper had also
conducted a highly controversial Internet Sting Operation against West,
which involved his meeting with, what he thought was a 17-year boy. The
contact was actually a former federal agent. Three members of the paper
were there to meet him for his first rendezvous. West, has been forced
to admit his gay lifestyle, and is facing an FBI investigation for
corruption.
Already, a more pious
NFC Republican has stepped up to demand that he step down, accusing him
of creating a Tsunami of Hypocrisy. Amen!!
The NFC Republicans
and their CNF Crusader allies have always contended that homosexual and
lesbian lifestyles are perverse learned behavior that can be treated
and prevented. In July 2005 scientific tests with sheep confirmed, what
a decade of previous studies had shown, that sexual orientation is
largely determined by Genes and Hormones and is hard-wired into the
brain in the womb, before birth. The political implications of these
results, which are consistency proving that Homosexuality is innate to
some people, should once and for all prove that there is no legitimate
basis for denying gays equal treatment. The cutting edge research on
this biological issue is being done outside the U.S. because of the
medieval biblical approach to science of the NFC Republicans and their
CNF Crusader moralist allies.
In December 2005
Baptist Minister Lonnie Latham of the South Tulsa Baptist Church in
Oklahoma apparently thought he was "pastoring" to the Gay enemy, when
he was arrested for propositioning a male Oklahoma City Police officer.
Latham, who has constantly spoken out against homosexuality, asked the
officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham has
vehemently spoken out against same-sex marriage, and in support of a
Southern Baptist Convention directive urging its 42,000 churches to
befriend gays and lesbians and try to convince them that they can
become Heterosexual, if they accept Jesus Christ as their savior and
reject their sinful, destructive lifestyle.
NFC Republicans do not
trust people to use their own free will and self-discipline in any
personal matters. They believe that they should set strict rules for every aspect
of human behavior, for everyone in society; and they should control the
discipline for transgressors. They have no understanding of human
behavior, no sense of humor, and are fond of such useless slogans as;
Just Say No, or Abstinence Only until Marriage.
This verse from a
popular song, fully explains the CNF Republican schizophrenic attitude
toward sex.
“Sex is the
dirtiest, nastiest, filthiest thing, and you should save it for someone
you really love.”
In June 2005, the
leader of a NFC Christian lobby group argued that gays should be
required to wear warning labels:
“We put warning labels
on cigarette packs because we know that smoking takes one to two years
off the average life span, yet we ‘celebrate’ a lifestyle that we know
spreads every kind of sexually transmitted disease and takes at least
20 years off the average life span.” Bill Banuchi, Executive
Director of the New York Christian Coalition.
Apparently Banuchi
wants a warning label before he indulges!
It is not the first
time gays have been told they should wear labels. In Nazi Germany, gays
were forced to wear a pink triangle to differentiate them from other
internees at concentration camps.
The latest NFC wedge
issue has been to exploit opposition to the efforts of some homosexual
and lesbian couples to get the State governments to legalize homosexual
marriages. This phony issue was used by the NFC Republicans against
John Kerry. It is unfortunate that this became an issue, because the
word Marriage is a religious as well as a legal term in America.
The early 19th Century
Napoleonic era in Europe ushered in the Napoleonic Code of laws. The
effect of this code was to eliminate the monopoly which the Catholic
Church had over the control of all legal documents certifying: Birth,
Marriage, and Death. In practice, this was not just a source of income
to the Church, but the Church could withhold these documents on
religious grounds, and doom a woman to a life as a concubine, or a
prostitute, and her children to suffer the social limitations of
bastards. To this day, in many European countries, which still observe
the Napoleonic Code, there are two ceremonies in every marriage. One is
religious, and one is civil. Each is attended with its own set of
documents, satisfying both Church and Civil authorities.
Homosexual couples in
the U.S., made the mistake of challenging the Anglo-Saxon religio-legal
concept of Marriage, (which Barron’s Law Dictionary defines as
“ a voluntary union of a man and a woman”), when all they
had to do was to insist on Civil (Legal) recognition of their union,
which already exists in many jurisdictions. This would have enabled
them to have a civil ceremony, even if it was to create a partnership,
and call their ceremony a Wedding. If they still wanted to have a
ceremony called a Marriage, they could subsequently find a willing
minister, or go into any Church and exchange vows without a middleman
present.
By challenging the
religio-legal concept of Marriage, they created a Civil Law
hornet’s nest of political controversy, and gave the CNF
Crusaders another wedge issue to use on Democratic Party candidates,
thereby hurting their own cause.
NFC Brutality in Blue
In 2005, Amnesty
International released its groundbreaking report: Stonewalled: Police
Abuse and Misconduct Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
(LGBT) People in the U.S. This report provides the evidence, based on
exhaustive research including more than 170 interviews with survivors
and advocates, surveys of dozens of police departments and
investigations of police policies and training in four major cities
found…that a range of discriminatory practices, from selective
enforcement of the law, such as profiling gay men as public-sex
offenders and transgender women as prostitutes, to selective
non-enforcement during investigations of hate crimes and domestic
violence is widespread across the country.
The AI report also
found that among the LGBT community, people of color, youth, the
homeless, and immigrants are at greater risk of police abuse.
The persecution of
LGBT people by police reflects the effect of the CNF Crusader campaign
to scapegoat these Americans; which has permeated the entire country.
The results have begun to show up in Gallup polls. In 1999,
Gallup’s polls found that 50% of Americans “considered
homosexuality an acceptable lifestyle.” One month after the
Supreme Court’s Lawrence v. Texas decision in 2003,
decriminalizing sodomy, and for the first time in a decade, acceptance
of homosexuality had fallen significantly.
THE WAR ON BARBIE
The Concerned Women
for America (CWA), a radical right-wing group which works on "reversing
the decline in moral values in our nation," has criticized the Barbie
doll and its manufacturer, Mattel, for being influenced by the
"transgender movement." Apparently Barbie is not feminine enough. CWA's
Bob Knight said Barbie is anti-Christian: "[Barbie is] really steering
girls away from the idea of womanhood as, predominantly, in terms of
Christians, serving the Lord, getting married, having kids, building a
home.”
The Christian
Nationalist Crusaders are winning their abominable war of sexual
bigotry and spreading their sick philosophy all across the globe.
Sweden, a country
known for the tolerance of its people, is not immune to the rise of
these Cristo-Fascist pogroms against homosexuals. In November 2005, a
Swedish Pentecostal clergyman was cleared on charges of inciting hatred
against homosexuals by declaring from the pulpit that their orientation
is a “cancerous tumor on all of society.” The Swedish Supreme Court
upheld an appeals court, which had overturned the Rev. Ake Green's 2004
conviction under Swedish Hate crimes law in a case that has drawn
international attention. Homosexual rights groups warned of “growing
religious agitation” in Sweden that could spread to Muslims and Jews.
The NFC Republicans
are constantly beating the Law and Order drum and have created a
nationwide Gulag of U.S. prisons in the U.S. Many of these prisons make
no effort to stop homosexual rapes. The prisons in many Christian
countries provide for Conjugal visits by the wives of inmates with good behavior.
The CNF Crusaders, who have campaigned against homosexuality for
decades, are nowhere to be seen demanding that prison rape be
eliminated, and that conjugal visits be required to provide normal sex
lives for inmates.
Any LGBT person or
their families must never vote for NFC Republicans or they will be
voting for their eternal enemies and against their own interests.
The NFC War on
Hollywood - America’s Babylon
The NFC Republicans
have been in a continuous war of domination with the American
Entertainment industry for decades. In the 1930s they demanded that the
industry impose their strict decency rules on all films, plays, music,
etc. The Hollywood studio heads bowed to pressure from the Catholic
Church and the Fundamentalist Protestants and instituted the Hays
Production Code, which was imposed on all motion pictures. These
Puritanical codes were imposed on adults as well as children, and led
the American movies to produce films which were qualitatively and
realistically inferior to those in Europe where such rules were
rejected.
“ The fact that
nine tenths of all literary filth, artistic trash , and theatrical
idiocy can be set to the account of a people (Jews), constituting
hardly one hundredth of all the country’s inhabitants, could
simply not be talked away.” Adolf Hitler, Mein
Kampf
This cultural war has
not always been the so heated. During World War II, the motion picture
and other entertainment sectors experienced a period of peaceful
co-existence; as they cooperated fully with the Government in producing
war propaganda films. In fact some of America’s greatest
Conservative idols, John Wayne and Ronald Reagan, were able to avoid
combat and still look tough; fighting their make believe propaganda
battles on the back lots of Hollywood studios. This cooperation was
accepted by the film industry because of the genuine threat which
original Fascism posed to the survival of Liberal Democratic
civilization.
The socially liberal
Clark Gable, and the Moderate Jimmy Stewart, flew real tours of Combat
duty over Germany and the Pacific.
Cultural Warfare- A
feature of all Fascist Movements:
“The cleansing
of our culture must be extended to nearly all fields. Theater, Art,
Literature, Cinema, Press, Posters, and window displays must be
cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the
service of a moral, political, and cultural idea.” Adolf Hitler,
Mein Kampf
Beginning with the
Korean War, artists and producers began to reflect the cynicism of the
American people with government lies and propaganda, concerning the
need to invade, make war, and destroy third world countries, in order
to save them, for capitalism. Although the Conservative politicians in
Government claimed that it was necessary to fight the spread of
International Communism; Americans were already becoming weary of
Empire, and being the world’s Dominator and Policeman.
This tension between
the entertainment industry and the Conservatives, and the National
Security branches of the Government, became worse during and after the
controversial Vietnam War, as the industry again began to reflect the
genuine disgust of war and the peaceful inclinations of most Americans.
Fascists always seek
control of the Art World for Propaganda purposes.
Repressive
Conservative Fascist and Bolshevik authoritarian regimes have always
sought to control the media, entertainment, and art industries, which
are thought to unfavorably influence the minds of the people against
the militarist totalitarian state.
Their complaints have
generally been raised against what was considered decadent Liberal
entertainment, such as rock and rap music, sexually explicit shows,
books, and movies, and anti-government and anti-religious themes.
Violence, which is endemic in American motion pictures and video games,
was ignored, as it was thought to build up the machismo qualities of
the American male and prepare him for military service. The U.S. Army
even issued its own combat Video game for recruiting purposes.
Fascists Seek
Domination of Art and Cultural Life:
“The new
national art of Germany will enjoy respect in the world and bear
witness beyond the frontiers of our country to the intense cultural
dynamism of the new Germany if it is firmly and ineradically rooted in
the mother earth of the National culture.” Joseph Goebbels, Nazi
Propaganda Minister, March 1939
It was instructive
that, whenever American rock musicians visited totalitarian regimes,
such as the ultra-Conservative Communist bloc countries, they were
widely applauded by the people, and criticized by their so-called Left
Wing governments! The first sign of the collapse of a Conservative
Dictatorial government was when its teenagers begin to collect and play
Liberal Western music. This was true with the Swing Clubs that defied
the Hitler regime in Nazi Germany, the American and English Rock music
fans in the Eastern Bloc countries of the Soviet Union, rock music fans
in China, and all across the globe.
Cultural Conformity in
the service of the State:
“We shall
discover and encourage artists who will imprint on the new German State
the cultural stamp of the German race, which shall be valid for all
time.” Adolf Hitler, Berlin 1935
The Age of
Orwell’s Thought Police has finally arrived, and the Democratic
Party has failed to challenge this classic NFC Republican urge for
censorship of popular culture, and for demanding that only favorable
propaganda about government actions should be viewed by the people.
Any American, who
opposes censorship and believes in Free Will and Artistic Freedom, must
not vote for any NFC Republican or they are voting against their
exercise of free will.
The NFC War on
“Popular Culture”
“Public life
must be freed from the stifling perfume of our modern eroticism, just
as it must be freed from all unmanly, prudish hypocrisy.” Adolf Hitler, Mein
Kampf
The NFC Republicans
have waged a war on the Arts and popular culture for the past 50 years,
constantly trying to dictate taste and morals to the entire art world
including; motion pictures, music, radio, painting, photography,
magazines and books, etc. In short they want to control every aspect of
American society. The stifling conformity they advocate is very similar
to the first fascists. In this campaign they have always been prodded
