So the question occurred to me: How does one raise the issue of nation-wide action against police brutality and murder, when the government itself has waged WAR against the people, through the use of Military Forces on the streets of America? It appears to me they have "raised the bar" and have moved from utilizing police, to utilizing the armed forces. And neither the objection of the people, nor the objection of Mayor's and Governors of these cities has been respected or heard. 

So if the intention is a continual moving forward with the armed forces of the Military - then what hope have we when it comes to "accountability" in regards to police? Have we lost sight of the accountability that is needed? Has our attention and focus been re-directed on the Military Forces on the streets? Or, are we waiting in the hopes that "this too shall pass" so that a nation-wide demand can be addressed, remedied and heard?

Is there a season in which ALL FORCES will be withdrawn from the streets of America? Or, is this A New America which we shall all adjust to and accept as the "new norm"? Because America shall never rid herself of "all immigrants". And "crime" is imbedded in the system itself, not just in communities of "poor people of color". So should we wait in expectation that the military be "turned inward against itself" in the attempt to rid "crime" in high places? 

And who would be giving the ORDER for that? Surely not those in authority! But from those forces themselves - in the full recognition that they've been given A LIE by which to execute the wishes of "a few" upon the many, for the enslavement of all concerned. The word SLAVE frightens non-whites because they believe its a call of BLACK REBELLION for the history and horror experienced in this country. 

Yet "slave" is what Americans themselves are being made into. No, there's no "whips and chains" just "forced labor" for minimal pay. You work and can barely eat. You work and God help you if the house needs a Major repair. People are eating on "credit cards" with no idea on how to repay it. And if you get sick and cannot go into work - your employment is placed on the line and you may or not have a job to return to! 

These are the makings of A SLAVE. There is no SLAVE MASTER compelling you to work - the needs of SELF and FAMILY ARE! And what won't you do for them? They know the long hours you'll work for less than standard pay, with "zero" or "expensive" health benefits. They know you'll "shut your mouth" to whatever hazardous conditions surround your work, because safety is no longer an option. The "check" is! It is the only option you see.

If you can't afford the rent, the mortgage, your food, or the means to get healthy if sick, then you certainly don't have the luxury or the money to fight what you know for a fact is wrong. So then justice itself "cost money" and may God have mercy on those who have none. Because those are the ones "hanging on a cliff" doing the damnest "not to fall". Because there is "no rising" in the America being established. But I digress...

The point is, real consideration on my part is being given concerning a nation-wide demand - in the midst of Military Forces on our streets. It is not the only consideration but "one of many". Yet I thought I'd begin here to at least advise what it is I'm thinking, in the midst of this "ongoing" demand.
