Stand Your Ground
Time to Tell the Tale
I awoke this morning to “Rina Sawayama Picks Elton John as Her ‘Chosen Family,’ Talks Song’s Crucial” afterwards contemplating these biblical text “Whatsoever You Do to The Least of My Brothers You did it unto me…” (Matthew 25:40) and “For if the World hated Me they will hate you also” (John 15:18) while endless reports involving citizens being injured and killed by other “privileged” citizens called by any other name: Law Enforcement, Police or Peace officers. Whether You believe in Jesus Christ or the Truth as taught by Him the above maxims are timeless altruism regardless.
I didn’t realize until now, the maxim “STAND YOUR GROUND” was in the New Testament Bible and it applied to when “we the people” are forced to become “citizen soldiers” against corrupt “officials” who believe that these “privilege citizens” have violated our “public trust” under Consent_of_the_governed.
The New Testament Bible appears to support the First Amendment rights to: Peaceably Assemble, Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances
The Apostle Paul was a citizen of a military superpower seated in Rome. He wrote:
“12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground…” (Ephesians 6:12–13).
We “Stand Our Ground” peacefully as “an inalienable right endowed by Our Creator” for the World to see. Despite the States’ legacy of racial discrimination, retaliation, use of force and social injustices to its “conqueror” population, as 2nd class citizens. Our Poet Laureate: “I’m Still Here:”
“been scared and battered . My hopes the wind done scattered. Snow has friz me, Sun has baked me, Looks like between ’em they done Tried to make me… Stop laughin’ stop lovin’, stop livin’ — But I don’t care! I’m still Here!!” Still Here By Langston Hughes and Still I Rise by Maya Angelou .
During President Clinton’s Administration (1990’s) I remember reading that “White Supremacist Hate Groups had increased by 40%” amongst then younger, white males, now in their late 30’s and 40’s. The military and law enforcement had seen infiltration of violent gang members in its ranks. The alarming part is what it takes to become a member… “usually killing a black or minority.” [Aryan Nation/Skin-Heads] where not only rhetoric and talk are necessary, but proven action is required. Recruiting young members without criminal records to allow for access to key authority venues.
REMEMBERING DAVID DUKE
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) an American neo-Nazi, Louisiana House of Representatives.
So it’s no stretch of the imagination, when our government knows who these individuals are but would rather claim “plausible deniability.” History repeats itself and our Government has failed to act, or enforce its own laws. Recently the “Washington (CNN) reported: “White supremacists will remain the most “persistent and lethal threat” in the United States through 2021, according to Department of Homeland Security draft documents.” “According to ABC News, “Atomwaffen encouraged white supremacists to join law enforcement.”
Since President Clinton’s “Sentencing Enhancement Act,” (1994) “which increased penalties for hate crimes.” Law enforcement agencies reported to the Justice Department, they increased “2,771 in 1991 to 12,122 in 1999…(The Clinton-Gore Administration A Record of Progress).”
In Law, evidence is admissible when it is found “in plain sight” that is why social media is often been a useful tool. See Rodney King videos tatoos listings by #ADL Racist Tattoos and #Federal Government dress code.
Needs to be Done?
It’s clear the facts have been on the proverbial table. No more evidence is needed:
(1) The prosecution and protection of minority citizens through psychological screening of law enforcement candidates backgrounds and historical affiliation for “supremacist” or racist ideologies; (2) regular testing for: anabolic or veterinary steroids or performance enhancement substances abuse upon death or injury of a citizen to be used only in case of prosecution resulting in death or injury of citizens; (3) implementation of discharge system similar to the military to determine eligibility of benefits; (4) Personal Reliability Program because they use firearms.
Less rhetoric more action.
We cannot continue to strip people of their dignity, their humanity, their hopes and dreams, their lives.... Their Voices, their right to breathe.
