Minneapolis has become the epicenter of American rage against their government. In freezing temperatures, thousands are out on the street. This is not the vaunted American Way, what long earned global admiration, including from Communists. It say something with an extraordinary pulse is happening in Minneapolis. Don’t let government overrun sacred rights. Don’t let leaders bent on polarization have their way. Whatever sacrifice has to be made, let it be made. In the long term, it’s worth the effort. Cave in today, and a tomb is erected around before tomorrow to suck the last ounce of oxygen, reduce to zombie existence, then lifelessness. Standing up against the outrageous, and standing for what generations have sacrificed for, continues the traditions for which America is revered. It is what made America great.
Men with masks and machineguns is not America. Heavily armed men in Martian-like disguise breaking car windows, invading schools, desecrating places of worship, and breaking into that last sanctuary-a man’s home, a family’s castle-never did make America great; nor will such barbarisms ever make America great again. I endorse the arrest and deportation of criminals, that vicious squadron of murderers, rapists, arsonists, terrorists, child molesters. But America hasn’t been known for doing so summarily, with a bunch of men and women relishing their triple roles, as judge, jury, and transporter. When I see the faces of some leading women and men, and listen to them, I have flashbacks to the Nuremberg trials. I’m seeing those sinister faces, once distorted with hate, now rearranged to suit a bloodless occasion. Nuremberg came six million deaths too late. The showdown at Minneapolis didn’t arrive a moment too soon.
There is detouring around today who is unstable, who lies brazenly, and who has a pathological fear of truth, accuracy. I face frontally the rawness of the streets of Minneapolis, and the creeping dread instilled across the US. Where does this stop? Is this antiimmigration drive truly about violent criminals, or is it a rather porous camouflage for a purge of the color capsule that is America? Is this more than a purge, and possessing all the elements of pogrom targeting one kind of people? Though there is little patience or interest in facts these days, there is one that I still share. Mississippi was the home of a much larger fraud against the Federal Government, only for the Department of Justice case to be quietly and swiftly dropped, when the Joe Biden administration left Washington.
There is more to this antiimmigration passion than immigrants themselves. This is about more than Making America Great Again. It is about Making America White Again. It can be. But some Scandinavians and other such darlings will have to be found to scrub bathrooms, work in nauseating sausage factories, and pick cherries daylong in the blistering sun. An internal antenna is warning that this is more than about nabbing violent criminals; or about immigration toughness. Think politics. The flooding of Blue States with armor-plated and steel-helmeted platoons let loose, reminds of Field Marshal’s Zhukov military mob rampaging when Berlin fell in 1945. This has more far-reaching ambitions than immigrant criminals. It could be about those federalized troops drawing closer to polling places for the crucial midterm elections in November.
The blocking and intimidating of citizens, going about their lawful routines could be a foreshadow of what is ahead -harder, more dogged, practice in November when the polls begin. Who should be stopped, who denied, who turned back. State lawmakers have tabled hundreds of bills that have as naked objectives turning back the voting clock to the Jim Crow era. Many of those bills are now part of laws intended to deter voter participation. They’re to perpetuate the existing majority in the US House of Representatives, and who knows what else thereafter. Two Americans have died, many citizens deprived of their guaranteed rights, and though crime and illegal migrants are hoisted as exhibits, there is much more to Minneapolis and elsewhere. It is ambitious, programmatic, and no matter how crudely executed, there is the sinister lying right below the surface.
Amercans are laying it on the line for their beliefs, the way of life desired. When leaders go to extremes, they must be reined in, brought back to street level. Guyana should be blessed with citizens who brave dangerous temps for a cause. Regrettably, those are gone; the era, the people.
