The only thing that I didn't agree with was how fast it could happen. I knew it was happening. And yet I couldn't fathom what a year later would bring. That we would have spent half the year Sheltering At Home to protect us from Coronavirus exposure. That both the radical leftist and the radical right would be protesting frequently in the streets. Not sure of their aims. Wanting things to go back to the way they were. Not realizing things never were that way and that the way things were was an illusion sold to them by the billionaire oligarch ruling class.
This past week another citizen was excuted with a shot to the head at point blank range by a "keeper of the peace". If our civil war was to have sides it wouldn't be black and white like most people believe, it would be black and blue. Plenty of white people now believe in black lives matter. Black in this case of civil war is not for black people but for anarchy against the system. Blue is not a people color. But it is the color which the violent gang that has taken control of Amerika under Donald Trump identifies as.
The rulers have taken away their Football, their other Football, Soccer, Baseball, the Olympics, & all college sports. The expression of male tribalism went the only place it knows how to go when misdirected.
War.
What is it good for.
Absolutely nothin.
While you want to fight. And feel nobel in whatever your cause may be. Remember the oligarchs of any era never die in war. The proletariat does. The working class. The People die. Our sons die. Their sons become Senators or, the much more powerful, CEOs.
I am actually shocked that after this week no one has written what I am about to say. A teenage gang member in Kenosha shot and killed people rioting and protesting the execution of a brother from their community. Jacob Blake's sister had some powerful words for the gang that murdered her brother and controls this country with military force. I highly recommend you look up a video of her speaking.
Under the laws of this country, there is no crime that justifies public execution without trial.
None.
Zero.
Nada.
Zilch.
Nothing.
You get the idea.
We will not rehabilitate the world from patriarchal male violence with solutions that escalate the global level of male violence.
On the way to South Central Pennsylvania. In the suburbs near Baltimore, which I didn't even realize were in PA until recently, I've seen squadrons of military vehicles traveling on the highways. My favorite combat Hummers from childhood. Caravans of light armored vehicles I'm only vaguely familiar with from obsessively playing Battlefield, because I've never been in the military myself, but mainly because this is my first time on Earth spent living in an active war zone.
On the 4th of July this year, all of the local large gathering's of Fireworks were cancelled due to CV. In New Jersey my entire life, large personal Fireworks were illegal to purchase. A few people would do the family run to Pennsylvania and pick up some big ones and a few people in town would set them off. But without any big fireworks displays nearby.
People went All Out.
It was a perfectly beautiful evening, the sort you get few of a year. We walked down to the Community Garden before dusk. It takes about 30 minutes. On the walk back, last light finally finished as the sun set fully and the sky darkened, and as soon as it did even the slightest, the first bang went off. And then some pop pop pops.
Ratta tat tat.
From All Sides.
Every direction, every block.
For Miles and Miles along the Toms River you could see explosions of light. But fireworks aren't safety devices, they are literal explosives. As we walked down the long road to my house I said to those walking with me, "This is what War Sounds Like." Random clicking and popping and a few big bangs, hopefully farther from you than closer to you, from any direction at any hour.
After months of Sheltering At Home, to be in the middle of the sound of war, with Trump as President, knowing we already had seen the Thin Blue Line Gang (TBLG) with assault rifles protesting at State Capitols, threatening our elected officials with violence instead of election results. All I could think about were the Veterans. Not old Vietnam Vets, the dads of our friends we worried about as children. I thought of my own friends. The ones with PTSD from our most recent and ongoing wars of global domination. I have PTSD for reasons of male violence other than war but even before I truly understood what that pain feels like, I knew that we are harming our veterans. How can we say we honor veterans when our biggest collective celebration of Freedom during the year causes them extreme mental distress so great it may actual cause them physical pain?
We cannot lie to them.
They know it is not about freedom.
They were personally ordered to or saw others personally ordered to murder civilian women and children because they may or may not be related to someone we think is a danger to our way of life.
Amerika believes in the patriarchal will to kill with impunity. To destroy others for the sake of capitalist gain. And now Amerika is a global problem. We have infected the world with our supposed "billionaire" philanthropists. People who have bastardized the ratios of understanding that keep people aware of their level compared to the rulers. The numbers are too large for most people to understand because of the current state of disrepair in education.
If we want to change the world we need to promote Literacy.
The two cousins I have as cops, they were both indoctrinated since early childhood into competitive sports culture. I've never seen either of them read a fucking book in their entire lives. Which is the only way a man can be raised to be so ignorant and gullible as to take up arms in defense of an unjust system who kills the poor, and people of any color or character at all, with impunity.
The oligarchs are allowing the Thin Blue Line Gang to patrol the streets. To threaten any stupid "masker" who believes in the greater good of other human beings. They really can turn anything into a derrogatory.
Don't let the propaganda get you down. This is all because their way if life is losing. It Must Lose if we are to save the planet. There are many more peaceful types and silent partners in the world than their are violently brainwashed.
The constant streaming may have separated us in some social ways. But during SAH we all saw how it could connect us as well. It has given us ways to share guerilla gardening knowledge widely to take the power of food back and give it to the people.
We have seen people use every single type of social media to share first hand videos of what is really happening with the TBLG on the streets. To counteract the constant propaganda about how Well things are going. For whom are they going well exactly?
The stock market is up.
Who gives a fuck.
In order to have a war, you must have soldiers. In order to have a war people must be armed and willing to fight. Lay down your arms. Men. I beg you. Stop the violence.
We need a global peace treaty now.
But here at home, in Amerika, we need to end this Civil War 2 before we can consider ourselves the police force of the world. The world doesn't need our slave patrols.
Love,
Jackie Fucking Lane
