I Miss the Battlefield.( This is why veterans see America and Americans The Way they do)

The full essay by Jim Lechner follows:

I miss the battlefield. Not the burning heat, the ache of heavy armor or the cold darkness of hostile ground. I miss the clarity. We were fighting an enemy, who though often vile, was completely clear on his cause and beliefs. They were willing to live hard and die hard for what they believed in, no matter how misguided.

Most of all I miss Americans. In a war between tribes, religions, sects and ideologies, the enemy often churned, blended, twisted and turned. But Americans were like rocks, Gibraltars in a storm. In the midst of the chaos, Americans were handholds on the cliff, bridges over the abyss of terrorism and treachery. 

The battlefield is the great crucible. On our battlefields the one virtue that mattered was an American would stand fast and have your back. The bond and the lifeline in combat were other Americans. The Americans to your left and right had no hyphens. I scanned for NODs and kevlars not faces or skin. In a street or alley, on the side of a mountain or sand berm all I looked for was an American uniform with a shoulder flag. 

The camouflage and combat literally and figuratively melted everything else together. No race, no religion, no politics, just Americans. There is clarity and a physical purity in that. Today at home, in the United States, I miss the battlefield.

White Democrats should pay the reparations and have mandatory education on the history of racism

White Democrats should pay the reparations and have mandatory education on the history of racism. Democrats owned slaves for 400 years - a Republican never owned a slave. 

Democrats should be taught they are responsible for slavery that the KKK was a Democrat terrorist organization. That the Democrats voted for segregation and passed the Jim Crow laws of the South, and fought every civil rights act from 1868 to 1964. 

Democrat president Roosevelt started welfare to put the Blackman back on the plantation of dependence,. The Great Society that led to the fatherless men and the baby mama that destroy their lives and fill our prison systems was started by Democrat President Johnson. 

That it as Democrat Clintons and Biden Bill for the 1994 drug laws that destroyed thousands of black lives. And now Democrats are encouraging the burning and looting of black neighborhoods. It's not white people who are your enemy. It's Democrat white people

4 steps to brainwash a population:

Throughout the 1960s, Bezmenov served the KGB primarily in India where he spread Soviet propaganda and disinformation to the Western world. He eventually defected to the West in 1970 and settled in Canada where he lectured and wrote about the KGB's techniques for subverting the West.

In 1985 he was featured in a television interview which is still available on YouTube. During the interview, Bezmenov explains the KGB's activities are less about espionage in the classic James Bond sense (only 15 percent), and more concerned with "Ideological Subversion" (85 percent) which is used to secretly undermine the American government through psychological warfare. Key to this program is to change the perception of reality using subliminal brainwashing techniques over an extended period of time. As I've written in the past, people act on their perceptions of reality, regardless if it is correct or fallacious. They are not so much concerned with facts as they are in perspectives and self interests. By controlling the perceptions of people, they become more prone to make erroneous conclusions thereby simplifying the manipulation of the masses. The objective of the KGB program, therefore, is to program people into dismissing true facts as fallacious even in spite of the obvious.

As Bezmenov explains in the interview, there are four steps to transform the thinking and behavior of the population:

1. Demoralization - this is a process which can take about 15-30 years to perform (a generation). During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people. As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism, the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.

2. Destabilization - the purpose of this step is to change the status quo, particularly the country's economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. The intent is to create a massive government permeating society and becoming intrusive in the lives of its citizens. This can take from two to five years to perform, again with the active support of academia pushing youth in this direction. Here, entitlements and benefits are promised to the populace to encourage their support. Basically, they are bribing people to accept their programs.

3. Crisis - this is a major step lasting up to six weeks and involves a revolutionary change of power. This is where a cataclysmic event upsets and divides the country thereby creating panic among the citizens. Recent examples include the 2011 upheavals in the Middle East, most notably Egypt and Libya. To Americans, symptoms would include circumventing the Constitution and altering the checks and balances of government, and possibly martial law.

4. Normalization - the final stage is where the populace finally acquiesces and begins to assimilate communism. Bezmenov claims during this stage, the naive college professors are no longer needed and since they will undoubtedly protest government policies when they discover the truth, they will be disposed of quickly. He cites examples of this occurring in Nicaragua, Grenada, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.This can take up to two decades to complete. (Obama's friend Pentagon bomber Bill Ayers estimated 5 million American would have to be killed in this stage.)

Bezmenov claimed the first step, Demoralization, was completed well before his 1985 interview. In fact, the Russians were surprised how easily it had been performed. One clear indicator of the moral decay of the country is the decline of organized religion which, historically, has been a beacon for morality, but now it is in retreat. He also thought step two was nearing completion in 1985 but I believe he underestimated the rise and popularity of Ronald Reagan as president, which led to the end of the Cold War with the Soviet Union in 1991, and the shift to the War on Terror following 9/11. Nonetheless, many would argue America is now realizing Bezmenov's scenario in 2012, particularly as the November elections loom ahead. This means the third step is in the offing which has a lot of people frightened for America's future.

Yuri Bezmenov died in 1993 never realizing his prophecy, and hopefully it will never come to fruition, that we will remain a free and democratic Republic bound to the U.S. Constitution. However, as Bezmenov reminds us, communism requires simple patience and perseverance to alter the perceptions of the people. The only way to thwart it is to practice due diligence and not let it go unchallenged.

"The press is our chief ideological weapon."

Four Principals of Psychological Warfare

The concept of ‘Ideological Subversion’

Yuri Bezmenov explained that KGB was more concerned about the psychological warfare against the American government through ideological subversion rather than espionage activities, which constituted only 15% of their work. He highlighted how brainwashing techniques were used on the American population to infuse an ideology, distinct from Americanism. He further emphasized how manipulation of public opinion can make people reject obvious facts to cater to the existing perceptions and interests.

The demoralisation of a population

The former KGB informant stated that the Soviet Intelligence Agency used four methods to alter the mindset and behavior of people in foreign countries. The first step is that of demoralization which according to him took 15-20 years. During the phase, young people are influenced to question the integrity of a country and raise suspicions through media propaganda and academia. Perception takes the centre stage and facts become meaningless. He attributes it to the lack of moral standards in society.

For a population self-absorbed in a world of propaganda, and theories of Marxism and Leninism, truth loses its grip on the society. The older generation also loses control over the population due to consistent attacks on their moral fabric. Yuri Bezmenov revealed that the ‘demoralisation’ phase was completed before the interview and the Soviet Union was surprised at the ease of its execution. He also explained how those from the 60s were occupying high positions in the government, mass media, and civil services at the time of the interview. Yuri Bezmenov further claimed that another 20 years would take to create a new generation of patriotic American citizens.

Destabilisation, Crisis and Normalisation

As per the former KGB informant, destabilization of a country also referred to as the second step, meant altering the nation’s foreign relations, economy, defense systems. He said that the process takes 2-5 years to execute. He stated that the Marxist-Leninist hold over the American defense and economic sector was ‘fantastic.’ Bezmenov said that he never thought that the process would be so easy to execute in the US when he landed there in 1971. He highlighted that a country could be brought to a state of crisis, the third step, in a short time as six weeks and cited the example of Central America to make his point.

Coupled with a violent change in power structure and economy, the fourth phase of normalization is kicked in that can last indefinitely. The word normalization is derived from Soviet propaganda that seeks to downplay a drastic change in a country as a normal phenomenon. “This will happen in America if you allow the Schumuks to bring the country to crisis, promise people all kinds of goodies and paradise on Earth, destabilize your economy, eliminate the principle of free-market competition, put a Big Brother government in Washington DC with benevolent things,” he remarked.

Yuri Bezmenov reiterated that the US was in a state of undeclared war, against the principles on which it was founded, under the Communist conspiracy. “You don’t have to be paranoid… Unless the United States wakes up! The time bomb is ticking every second and the disaster is coming closer and closer. Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect,” he emphasized.

Black Crime

2018 Justice Dept. statistics:

2018 violent crime incidents = 4,145,300

white on black incidents = 59,777

black on white incidents= 547,948

Now factor in that blacks only comprise 13% of the population, blacks are overwhelmingly more likely to commit a violent crime against whites than vice versa.

As far as police shooting: In 2019 here were 10 shootings of black men by police. In 5 of these cases, the police were being assaulted. There was ambiguity regarding the appearance of weapons in 3 and in 2 the police were criminal charges and jailed. During this time 25 white unarmed men were killed. A police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.” Source The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post

(Not FBI info:) 6%   (black men 16-40) of the population responsible for 50% of deaths.

==============================================================

2019 (?)  Police Interactions:

50 Million Police/Suspect Interactions

10 Million Arrests

18 Unarmed Blacks killed

24 Unarmed Whites killed

Washington Post

===============================================================

FBI crime statistics for 2016 reveal that, while constituting about 13% of the population, those who were Black/African-American were arrested for these offences:

• 52.6% of all "Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter."
• 29.1% of all "Rape."
• 54.5% of all "Robbery."
• 33.3% of all "Aggravated assault."
• 41.8% of all "Weapons; carrying, possessing, etc."

What I really think

George Floyd had it coming. A dirty, filthy scumbag ex-con. Doing life on the installment program. He was messed up on coke, fentanyl, and reefer. He wasn't straightening out his life.

He was passing fake money and resisting the cops. Video of Floyd resisting arrest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=103&v=tmol05Uftv8&feature=emb_logo
The kinda guy that would rob a defenseless pregnant woman and threaten her baby with a freakin gun!. Screw him, glad he's dead.
I hope he was as scared as that pregnant woman was when he stuck a gun in her belly.
He deserved what he got.

He just ran into a cop as psycho as he was.

The favorite trick of the Left - Cultural Marxism

Cultural Marxism. The favorite trick of the Left is to redefine words and language so they can talk about their ideology in public without alarming those who don't understand what they are really saying. They don't believe in equality as an aspirational value. They believe in elevating or suppressing groups disproportionately according to an arbitrary interpretation of how oppressed or privileged a particular groups history is, not in fact, but in their twisted intersectional revisionist version. Cultural Marxism begs for itself the privilege of becoming its own tyranny. The issue is never the issue. It's about power and control.

New York City’s Gang Database Is 99% People of Color

New York City’s Gang Database Is 99% People of Color, Chief of Detectives Testifies

New York City Chief of Detectives Dermot F. Shea testified at City Hall in Manhattan Wednesday about the NYPD’s gang database. This was the first hearing to provide transparency into the controversial database.

NEW YORK CITY — Ninety-nine percent. The number sent an audible gasp throughout the City Council chamber. Chief of Detectives Dermot F. Shea had just read off the percentage of people of color on the NYPD’s controversial — and until now — largely secretive gang database.

Shea was talking publicly for the first time about one of the New York Police Department’s most popular crime-fighting tools. He testifiedWednesday before the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety in the database’s first comprehensive public examination.

Shea read the numbers from a stack of papers in front of him.

African Americans: 65 percent.

Non-white Hispanic: 24 percent.

Black Hispanic: 10 percent.

Shea said the gang database, whose number fluctuates as names are added and purged, stood at 17,441. Given those percentages, that means 17,267 of the individuals in the database are either black or Hispanic. Earlier in the morning critics rallied to protest the use of the database, saying it’s racist.

There are 1,460 people who are younger than 18 in the database. In response to questioning, Shea said there are 17 13-year-olds, 80 14-year-olds, 204 15-year-olds, 455 16-year-olds and 704 17-year-olds. “You can see how the number goes up as they get older,” he said. The average age of someone on the database is 27, he said.

Public Safety Committee Chair Donovan Richards, who led the hearing about the database, was doubtful about how the innocent could avoid being included.

The NYPD, which encompasses the largest detective bureau in the country, has no formal process for notifying parents whose children are in the database. But, he said, there are a number of informal ways that parents are alerted.

“I don’t want to make it seem like there is no interaction with the parents,” Shea said. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”

Youth officers assigned to precincts and to transit and housing units might talk to the parents during the course of an investigation and the topic might come up then.

How does someone end up on the database, Public Safety Committee Chair Donovan Richards asked.

There are a number of ways, Shea said: One is what he described as self-admission. This often happens on social media, where gang members may talk about their affiliation, he said. Another is through two independent sources who tell a member of the department. That name then needs to be vetted by investigators. Anyone can be a source of that information — friends, teachers, family or a confidential informant.

Finally, he said, gang investigators can identify the presence of gang literature, tattoos, colors, clothing and other means of what they think is an indication of gang affiliation.

Manifesto of the Communist Party & The Doctrine of Fascism

Manifesto of the Communist Party, by Karl Marx & Friedrich
Engels (1848)
“Communis[m] may be summed up [as] Abolition of private property. . . . the family . . . your education . . . countries and nationality. . . . Freedom, Justice, etc. . . all religion, and all morality. . . . [plus] A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. . . . [and] Centralisation of [everything] in the . . . State."

The Doctrine of Fascism, by Benito Mussolini & Giovanni Gentile (1932)
“Anti-individualistic, . . . Fascis[m] stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, . . . outside of [which] no human or spiritual values can exist . . . Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism . . .
