The American Big Media must take much responsibility for feeding the frenzy of riots, looting, and mayhem that has been taking over several cities over the past few years. Its relationship with the black populist demagogues in these communities has always been financially and politically beneficial to both the Press and to the demagogues who are best illustrated by the “faux” Reverends Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, and heck, throw in Louis Farrakhan as well.
What we’ve had brewing in Charlotte is one more Simba uprising, an assault on the simplest, most rudimentary forms of civilization – life and property. This spreading of terror throughout the urban jungles of America (formerly known as cities) continues because authorities responsible for upholding law and maintaining the peace express sympathy for the savages, make excuses for their crimes, and are devoid of the will to put down the uprisings with the swift force that is necessary.
‘Contemplation of Justice’ – Supreme Court Building…
For a very long time, at least two generations, America has willingly substituted the rule of politics for the rule of law. Note that rule of politics is often indistinguishable from rule of the mob. The mob in Charlotte [and Baltimore and Ferguson and wherever else] considers the rule of law irrelevant. Liberals who tend to characterize the U.S. Constitution as ‘living’ (a euphemism for whatever they say it means this week) also consider the rule of law irrelevant, though some Liberals dress up in sanctimonious black robes to pronounce their rule, rather than the trashy hoodies and sagging jeans of their operatives.
Twenty-something years ago, Rudi Giuliani and Bill Bratton pulled New York back from the precipice of 2,000+ murders each year, dropping the number to below 600, because 51% of the electorate said “enough”. Apparently we’ve progressed to the point where a morally exhausted culture is now in cahoots with the savages to bring about its own demise by turning the clock back a few centuries. Now, as in feudal times, it’s every man for himself.
We are in an escalating active phase of a revolution per the paradigm of Eric Hoffer, who expressed the three stages of men of words, men of activity, and men of action, as phases. Obama has consistently masqueraded as a ‘man of words’ AKA ‘intellectual’, but is a revolutionary who only embraces the active phase of chaos and destruction. He is a Communist Agitator and understands this paradigm completely, as he has been talking about Hillary Clinton lately being the ‘woman of action’ phase that solidifies and makes permanent the revolutionary changes such as ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, the corruption of Wall Street and Gangster Government.
The Legacy of Obama is totalitarianism. Hannah Arendt wrote about the ingredients in her study The Origins of Totalitarianism in which she described them in detail as isolation, atomization, propaganda, targeting groups, and terror. The first two ingredients are the basis of collectivism, whereby the identity and responsibility of the individual are ceded to the collective or mob. Gustave Le Bon wrote about this in The Psychology of Revolution in an attempt a century later to rationalize the French Revolution Reign of Terror. The Propaganda of Obama, the MSM and BLM is clear, in that “Hands up, don’t Shoot” was a lie, alongside “it was a book.”
As Daniel J. Flynn puts it in The American Spectator: Charles MacKay addressed the hysteria in Charlotte 175 years ago in Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. “We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, [until] their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first,” the Scotsman wrote. While MacKay described manias for tulips and alchemy and haunted houses, we now see unhealthy obsessions with skin color. Moderns mock their fixation on witches; futures will mock our obsession with whites — so profound that they receive blame when a black cop shoots a black ex-con”. [end]
“The lunacy in the streets seems more understandable than the delusions produced by pack journalism. Thugs targeting people based on race forfeit their right to lecture the rest of America on racism — except on cable news. The vague phrase ‘social justice’ takes on an unsavory, specific meaning when shouted by people breaking windows and looting the Charlotte Hornets team store. But it gives people using the airy phrase as a mantra a whiff of moral superiority on cable news. The slogan Black Lives Matter similarly evokes vile connotations when the targets of the mob marching under its banner generally share light complexions. But on cable news they speak the racist slogan as though “We shall overcome”; “I have a dream”; “the content of our character.” [end]
Cable networks show us scenes of young African-American males committing brutalities. They tell us, even after the mob knocked down a CNN correspondent on live TV and attempted to throw an innocent and unconscious WCNC photographer into a fire, that the troubles of these young African-American males stem from external forces (read: white people).
The Big Media Press, like the people, shows its worst self when it runs in packs, devouring the truth at will.
Make no mistake, Hillary Clinton too, is a revolutionary (remember she is an acolyte of Saul Alinsky, as is Obama) and only knows how to destroy and plunder. The election of this deviant apostate (God forbid) will surely mean an escalation of the active phase that means much more rioting and targeting cops and white people for a long time to come. Likely a generation or more.
Will Trump and his top cop (whoever he replaces Loretta Lynch with) pull America back from the rule of the mob precipice? That all depends of course, on whether or not the electorate on November 8th says “enough is enough”.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’, because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million human beings collected together are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately. ~ Thomas Jefferson
