Little Was Changed By The First Round of The Civil Wars Of 2020
The first round of the civil wars of 2020 seems to be over. It did not change much.
Unjustifiable police violence against one man was documented on video. This enabled the issue to spread. Protest, first local then nationwide and even internationally, followed. The police reacted to it with more unjustifiable police violence. This was again documented on video - one collection of these now has 282 entries – and spread further.
The police did not exclude the media from its attacks as it usually does. It even seemed to especially target these. That again amplified the echo of its violence.
Thus the police and its supporters have lost the argument.
In parallel to the protests some looting happened. President Trump and many other 'law and order' people saw the violence against property as a more important issue that the police violence against people – especially against people of color.
Trump reacted by calling up the military and a myriad of federal police forces to 'dominate the battlespace' of Washington DC and other cities.
They cleared a peace- and lawful demonstration from Lafayette Square near the White House for a photo-op. The move was illegal but will likely have no legal consequences.
Five well known retired 4-star generals, Dempsey, Kelly, Mullen, Mattis, Allen, protested against the proposed abuse of the military. The active commander of pacific air forces, a 4-star African-American, published a moving video with his thoughts on the issue. On this the military is not on Trump's side.
Thus Trump and his supporters have lost the argument.
That the police and Trump lost their arguments unfortunately does not mean that anything within the U.S. will change.
The military will not correct the issues the situation exposed. Political corruption at the federal as well as the local level is bipartisan and too engrained:
Cuomo, his party and New York’s legislative leaders have raked in more than $1 million from police unions as they have refused to enact a bill proponents say would deter police violence.
Opposition candidate Joe Biden responded to the issue of institutionalized racism with a dog whistle comment: Joe Biden says '10-15%' of Americans 'are just not very good people'. Well of course not. Some 13% of U.S. citizens are black. Given Biden's racist history – supporting segregation, writing the crime bill, lying about marching with the civil rights movement etc. – it is highly unlikely that he chose that range by chance. There is zero evidence that he would change a thing.
The protests will soon die down. But the divide within the U.S. public will only deepen. Trump voters will call themselves the 'Trump Army' and wear the camouflage 'Keep America Great' hat to fight the 'Liberal MOB'. Liberals will respond with pro-black gestures but without follow up actions. Writing 'black lives matter' on a DC street or changing the name of a place does nothing for blacks when the police can continue as before. Racist attacks in the U.S. will only increase.
What has changed is the public image of the U.S. throughout the world. Years of careful branding and propaganda have been put to waste. No U.S. ambassador can now express concerns about police violence in a foreign country without being laughed at. The U.S. has been put on crisis watch and in my estimate will stay there for quite a while.
The current economic situation makes it certain that the civil war continues. The next round is likely to be more violent. The empire is sinking in front of our eyes.
“The World Cannot Breathe!” Squashed By The U.S. – A Country Built On Genocide And Slavery
More than two centuries of lies are now getting exposed. Bizarre tales about freedom and democracy are collapsing like houses of cards.
One man’s death triggers an avalanche of rage in those who for years, decades and centuries, have been humiliated, ruined, and exterminated.
It always happens just like this throughout the history of humankind – one single death, one single “last drop”, an occurrence that triggers an entire chain of events, and suddenly nothing is the same, anymore. Nothing can be the same. What seemed to be unimaginable just yesterday, becomes “the new normal” literally overnight.
*
For more than two centuries, the country which calls itself the pinnacle of freedom, has been in fact the absolute opposite of that; the epicenter of brutality and terror.
From its birth, in order to ‘clear the space’ for its brutal, ruthless European settlers, it systematically liquidated the local population of the continent, during what could easily be described as one of the more outrageous genocides in the human history.
When whites wanted land, they took it. In North America, or anywhere in the world. In what is now the United States of America, millions of “natives” were murdered, infected with deadly diseases on purpose, or exterminated in various different ways. The great majority of the original and rightful owners of the land, vanished. The rest were locked up in “reservations”.
Simultaneously, the “Land Of The Free” thrived on slavery. European colonialist powers literally hunted down human beings all over the African continent, stuffing them, like animals, into ships, in order to satisfy demand for free labor on the plantations of North and South America. European colonialist, hand in hand, cooperated, in committing crimes, in all parts of the world.
What really is the United States? Is anyone asking, searching for its roots? What about this; a simple, honest answer: The United States is essentially the beefy offspring of European colonialist culture, of its exceptionalism, racism and barbarity.
Again, simple facts: huge parts of the United States were constructed on slavery. Slaves were humiliated, raped, tortured, murdered. Oh, what a monstrous way to write the first chapters of the country’s history!
The United States, a country of liberty and freedom? For whom? Seriously! For Christian whites?
How twisted the narrative is! No wonder our humanity has become so perverse, so immoral, so lost and confused, after being shaped by a narrative which has been fabricated by a country that exterminated the great majority of its own native sons and daughters, while getting insanely rich thanks to unimaginable theft, mass-murder, slavery and later – the semi-slavery of the savage corporate dictatorship!
The endemic, institutionalized brutality at home eventually spilled over to all parts of the planet. Now, for many decades, the United Stated has treated the entire world as full of its personal multitude of slaves. What does it offer to all of us: constant wars, occupations, punitive expeditions, coups, regular assassinations of progressive leaders, as well as thorough corporate plunder. Hundreds of millions of people have been sacrificed on the grotesque U.S. altar of “freedom” and “democracy”.
Freedom and democracy, really?
Or perhaps just genocide, slavery, fear and the violation of all those wonderful and natural human dreams, and of human dignity?

They win bigly. Americans lose bigly. Then they buy up shares on the stock exchange to sell later on to the FED who has already signalled their willingness. They win again. Americans lose again. This is not capitalism, but FRAUD. Meanwhile, the presstitudes willingly lie away — wink wink — just for the next pay check. by: kiwiklown @ 107
Stranger still, is the fact that the police turned up at all, never mind so promptly just for the sake of a forged banknote! by: pogohere @ 109
The Actors Guild; Antifa branch<= delivers choreographed violence anywhere in the world? I still question has their man Floyd, walked away.. ?
Pogohere asks "Who are they?"<= Are they the same who did this did this very play in the Ukraine? Sure looks like.. Language is a barrier to gathering that understanding, but look who just won the Democratic National nomination, same feller, I think who starred at Ukraine?
Pogowhere asks Who funds them? I think not clear is just like the CIA, they are self funded.. they rape, pillage and take just as soon as their external "regime change" is accomplished.. The public state is made private mercenary booty, they take [by privatization] the good parts from the victim economy to make the feudal kingdom stronger? People used to call these people types mafia or corporate mafia, and before that feudal lords, gangs, thugs ..
Pogowhere Some have (rightly, imo) questioned if they are meant to spoil protest instead of fight fascism. <=Fascism is a propaganda, its not real, its a classification of at type of violence conducted for the benefit of a class of private crime camouflaged team members, its publishing as public ( a nation state purpose) to excuse and hidden the private intention.
Pogowhere observes? - The attempt to change the narrative away from racial issues and economic fairness to policing issues is very clear - as is the benefits to the establishment of doing so.
Everyone remember the law of patents and copyrights are the state produced rule of law GLUE that converts Mafiosa, feudal lord activities and greed into state sanctioned legalized theft.. and the military the arm breaker, wait the military is placed all around, but if you look, you see the real damage in these satellite wars, is caused not by the state, but by mercenary armies that appear from nowhere? Smacks of control over armed state might protecting private enterprise gain against local resistance. . ..
finally Marshall law is activated to quell the discovery that private armies are the regime change vehicles,, that copyright and patent laws grant private ownership monopolies (just as the kings used to make feudal lords and large land grants(feudal estates) to those that raised and kept private armies to do the notorious public deeds when the king was at work stealing the peoples possessions, and using their manpower. It was easy for the Feudal kings to give away the people's share in the public domain (back then there were no fencing laws privatizing ownership in land ( land was a public good, everyone shared in its use, there were no fences), merely privatize it by rule of law, and divide it into parts, one for each of the feudal lords. Shared public wealth disappears, the people who lived on the land, are told they are trespassing, they must leave, their generations of home, and move into the crowded cities to work in the factories owned by the corporate privately feudal lords.
It was easy for the feudal kings to deny the people's access (privatize by rule of law) to those things which used to be public (enclosure acts beginning about 1688 (glorious revolution), today the monopoly power in private land, ownership of the inventions and writings of the publically educated minds of man, are made by copyright and patent laws into private monopolies, no one but the few can have access to the masses of knowledge humanity has stored, its all hidden from view, if you want a bit better life, you can get a PhD and get access to a bit of that knowledge but even you will be denied access to most of it. The PhD will get u a job, working for one of the feudal few.
History is more likely to expose these people and their organization than investigation of the
present institutions and immediate events, because the feudal(Nazis or whatever) control everything, and have used the nation state law making powers to convert everything public into private feudal packages, to be distributed to the feudal lords. The feudals use that control to deny any investigator or investigation. but the feudals cannot hide history, they cannot hide what they have done; it is visible all over the world since even before the 1688 glorious revolution.. Track not history as activities of the state ( it was not Russia that did this or that, it was not England that did this or that, but it was the East indies, or the West Indies corporations or the Dutch indies corporations or the earlier associations .. instead look at who funded the this or that, where did the Armies come from, which lawmaker (s) produced the state laws, raised the taxes that funded the armies, and bureaucraies that enabled the use of state money to engage domestic theft in in foreign lands (the state departments of the world).
Please lets pole our collective cultures, our difficult to access different languages, our knowledge of that history, which is fictional historical propaganda, and collective study this global human tragedy we are all living and finally beginning to discover has caused much of the human misery we have been forced to endure. Lets get to the bottom of who those few are, lets discover their methods, and expose their activities for what they really are, Crimes against humanity, with intentions to enslave the masses to mafia designs. We humans, owe it to our future generations to straighten this mess out we have gotten ourselves into, we must bring to justice those who have stolen our good peaceful life to satisfy the greed of those who are the Mafia.
