Left Hook - February 2010

Left Hook
By Walter Davis

Justice is Love Demonstrated in Public: Where is the Love?

The dirty tricks are paying off. One has to admire the unity of the Republican Party. Now, an agenda to repair the country and recover from the disaster of the Bush Administration seems doomed.

Conservatives are more interested in Obama’s birth certificate and not that of the heads of lending institutions in China who really own their homes and businesses as part of a corrupt system of Capitalism that simply does not work.

The ignorant factions of both parties seem to be happy with 3% of the population controlling more than 90% of the wealth. Wealth redistribution advocates are labeled socialists and communists for pointing out how unfair this system is.

Justice is love demonstrated publicly. What kind of public love is being demonstrated to the impoverished in America?

The answer is the same that was given to Native Americans, African slaves, indentured servants and immigrants – from Italy, Africa, Latin America, Haiti and Asia…to name a few….injustice.

This country was built on murder, greed, lies and injustice from inception.

War, crooked bankers and a senseless corporate system render the American citizen powerless. Many erroneously believe that they are actually free. The corporate banking system makes companies more loyal to stock holders than the loyal workers that build them. So…these workers become a liability to the companies. They are laid off and their jobs sent overseas to lower paid slaves. They lose their health insurance that is tied to their jobs and spiral into poverty while politicians “discuss” the virtues of public health options. They are told that this country cannot afford public health insurance while spending on weapons has no limit.

Meanwhile the flawed American main stream thinking rolls on. People have the freedom to believe in whatever religion that they want to …as long as it is Judeo-Christian.

Nations have the right to sovereignty as long as they give up their natural resources and allow U.S. military bases.

Countries are allowed to have “freedom” as long as the western corporate powers are allowed free reign in controlling their commerce; allowed to enslave their populace. The schizophrenic policies continue as we cannot trade with Cuba because they are communist yet, the Communist Chinese can make everything in our homes…. and poison our infants with lead.

Wars and rumors of wars; who will be next: Yemen, Iran, Venezuela? Who will be next to be labeled a mad man, crazy, insurgent, terrorist, militant, guerilla for standing up to the United States?

America needs tools of mass creation not weapons of mass destruction. When the American people wake up, there will be rebellion. It will take violence to change this unjust system. Reasonable voices are being drowned out by nationalistic fervor.
Reviewing the history of the French, Romans, Haitians, Moors, Persians, the American Revolution and Civil War….one can see that history’s lessons have still not been learned.
