Black People Politics : What America sees...

[ogoun]

"Group participation, social responsibility and unity are essential elements in bringing about such a change and are key principles of the time, at the heart of which, and from which all else flows must be sharing, and for a range of reasons: sharing breaks down divisions and engenders trust, kindness grows and humanities inherent goodness can flower. Sharing is an expression and acknowledgement of our common humanity, cooperation takes place when we share, and as people cooperate they build relationships, form groups, exchange ideas." unquote.

Just heard today that a Socialist Democracy makes profit a criminal offense; it also makes private property a criminal offense. However Communism would make personal profit and private property an offense punishable by sudden disappearance unless they get 70% of your profit and nationalize all businesses and real-estate.

There is now a new horizon barreling our way. It is called G5. It is Socialist digital governance of every person through private and public technology that can read your lips of every language. It is China''s silk road to gather info on entire world. That would be our Security problem. It is a hyper loss of entire personal freedom for China's people and us if it comes over here for them to spy on us.

One of the aspects of it is something called Social Credit. As you are being watched in China the government will grade its citizens on how valuable each one is to China. Reward or consequence is given out according to what they have gathered as the Government watches behavior individually and reads everyones conversations.

I'm going to take on one quote from Confronting the culture of Death. Scripture was used speaking that we are sacrificing our children to "mute idols," i.e. corporations. 1 Corinthians.

I don't think the business end of a corporation is going to cause any death in America unless it's a world wide gambling casino and the patron went out in the parking garage and killed himself because of his losses. In fact business corporations are subject to the same risk as any little business, they have to keep up with supply and demand according to what the public determines they want, and how well they are being served. Example Sears is closing stores while Penny's is not. I'm going to blame Sears for the lack of understanding of what the every day shopper wants.

The last time I was in their closing store with it's going out of business sale, I left there without buying anything because as hard as I tried to take advantage of the 40-60% off sale, there was nothing I would spend my money on. The soft merchandise was poor in quality and frumpy. Sears used to have quality washer/dryers and refrigerators only I didn't see any. The store seemed dark in lighting. I left.

Penny's was well lit which lifted my shopping spirit. They also had sales. I bought things. Penny's is doing well because their corporate buyer/manager knows what people are looking for. That is the difference.

Now regarding "mute idols." I think we know I'm not going into Pennys and getting on my knees in front of the sheets and towel isle. If their prices are too high I will leave there and go to the corporation of Bed Bath and Beyond. If I don't like what they have, I'll decide I don't need anything that much and leave to go get a treat at a corporate fast food drive through. I'll probably check and get gas at another corporation station (the one that is selling gas for less) on my way home.

Then, I'll check in my refrigerator (corporation) to see what I want for dinner which is filled with all kinds of corporations. Look around at your places dear Destee members, do you see any corporations hanging in your closet? ...something you sleep on? Something you drive? Funny, huh?

Now seriously, Do you really want a Socialist government limiting your freedom with the variety you have now for doctors? Schools you can go to? Do you want to drive a little French style car that looks like a skate? We have it good. There is nothing immoral about people who want to become entrepreneurs with dreams of making it big. Because if they do it will because they gave us what we want for the price we will buy it for.

There are 40 countries who have tried Socialism and they all failed in one way or another. The Blaze. If there is one that has succeeded that any knows about. It would be good to hear it.

America the Empire. Well at least our being an "Empire," is because of our votes not a dictate. The way we have voted has brought us prosperity up till now. I say up till now because it is said the Millennials are "sweeping Socialists." I Know I have said that way before now like 15 years ago, that the Professors and teachers in our colleges and schools have prepared the kids for Socialism.

We are 22 trillion in debt. What will the price of a Socialist nation cost us? How do you think that will effect your life?

Plus here is an example of Socialist governance by way of a joke: A socialist soldier in Moscow was given orders to shoot anyone on the street after curfew no matter what. Someone went running home before the curfew was in effect. The soldier shot him dead. Another man said to him there is ten more minutes before curfew. Why did you do that?" The soldier said, "He's a friend of mine and I know where he lives. He couldn't make it in time."
