We Should Mourn For What Is Happening To America…(Day 2 Of Being With Friend As His Wife Dies…)

This week it was Kenosha, Wisconsin and next week it will probably be somewhere else. Yet another senseless police shooting was followed by more rioting, looting and violence. Of course rioting, looting and violence have basically become a nightly occurrence in America at this point anyway.
The protests never seem to end in some cities, and crime rates are absolutely skyrocketing all over the country. Much of what is written about all of this chaos is focused on trying to pin the blame on someone, but even if we correctly identify who is to blame, will that actually stop the violence? I don’t believe that it would. In fact, I don’t think that anything is going to stop the violence any time soon.
I just feel so sad today. We are literally watching the meltdown of our society, and that process is going to continue no matter what happens in November. I have never seen so much anger in America, and the frightening thing is that the level of anger seems to just keep growing.
I wish that we could learn to truly forgive one another, love one another and come together as a society. For years I have been telling my readers that civil unrest like this was coming, and there is an entire chapter in my new book entitled “Civil Unrest and Martial Law”. So many of the things that myself and others have been warning about are now playing out right in front of our eyes, but there is absolutely no joy in being correct. There is only sadness. I love the United States of America and what I see happening to our nation grieves me very deeply.
Whenever I write articles about our need to love one another, those articles tend not to get much attention at all. In America today, we would much rather hate our enemies than love them. The corporate media has trained us to hate those “on the other side”, and they have done that job very well. They have been stirring the pot for years, and now much of the population has been perfectly primed to explode.
In such an environment, it was inevitable that there would eventually be eruptions of violence. On Sunday night, it was Kenosha’s turn…
Armed rioters shut down streets in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Sunday night as the city fell into chaos after a police-involved shooting earlier in the evening.
A large group of rioters – including at least two armed rioters – blocked a police armored car from proceeding down a street. After a standoff, the police began throwing tear gas canisters from the top of the vehicle to disperse the crowd. Moments later, gunshots rang out after one of the protesters appeared to open fire.
The police shooting that caused these riots only happened a few hours earlier.
That means that some of these rioters were already armed and were ready to cause chaos on very little notice.
And it seems that these sorts of riots are almost always accompanied by widespread looting…
The violence quickly spread and eventually large mobs began looting shops and stores throughout the city.
Later in the night, vehicles at several car dealerships were set ablaze. Including one at a dealership next to a church which displayed a Black Lives Matter sign.
And just like in so many other cities, police officers in Kenosha quickly became targets. In fact, it was reported that one officer was actually knocked down with a brick.
Protesters were promising to come back Monday night, but Governor Tony Evers called out the National Guard in a desperate attempt to keep that from happening…
In a bid to stave off another night of chaos, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said 125 members of the National Guard would be in Kenosha on Monday night with responsibility for ‘guarding infrastructure and making sure our firefighters and others involved are protected.’
The Kenosha Police Department declared a state-of-emergency curfew for Monday night beginning at 8pm until 7am the following morning, according to a post on the police department’s Twitter feed.
Meanwhile, we witnessed yet another senseless riot in Portland on Sunday night…
A tumultuous weekend in Portland ended late Sunday night with Portland Police declaring a riot outside of the bureau’s North Precinct.
Police said they made 23 arrests over the course of the night on various charges like interfering with a peace officer and rioting.
During the riot, protesters were literally hurling anything that they could find at the police…
Demonstrators lit dumpsters on fire, and threw fireworks, rocks, and “sharp chunks of ceramic” at officers, police said.
Just after 10:30 p.m., police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly.
Sadly, a similar scene unfolded in Denver just the night before…
Dozens of armed Black Lives Matter anarchists descended on the Denver Police Headquarters and damaged buildings, set fires and shot fireworks at cops.
The mob, consisting of between 50 to 75 demonstrators, were said to be wielding numerous weapons — from axes to guns — during the incident.
Of course the riot in Denver didn’t even make many headlines around the nation because this sort of thing has become so commonplace in our major cities at this point.
We have basically entered a period of semi-permanent civil unrest.
And now that lawlessness has been unleashed in our streets, new eruptions of violence will be easily sparked with each new incident that comes along.
I am particularly concerned about this upcoming election season. It is easy to imagine quite a few scenarios which would unleash widespread rage and fury.
I just wish that things could be different.
Americans should not be fighting other Americans in the streets, and it deeply grieves me whenever I see it happening.
If everyone simply treated others the way that they would like to be treated, we wouldn’t see senseless police shootings and there wouldn’t be rioting and looting in our streets.
Unfortunately, the very basic values that this nation was founded upon were rejected by our society long ago, and now we are paying a very great price for that choice.
Nnnoooo. It’s not time to mourn or take a knee to the shower shoes or “adapt” as some would suggest. It’s time to organize, fight and restructure.
Heard a talk show host last night get upset about a commenter saying he talked too slow. Though there are idiots like said commenter out there, ( and he’d be best off to enjoy them as “comic relief,” ) as a newsman you have to have a sense of humor, but when instructive comments come through you should listen.
Whatever any of us choose to do, we should strive to be THE BEST. What made America great was most people who started a business wanted to make it THE best in the world. ( Now days someone like Romney comes along and breaks it up, sells it off, moves operations to China then runs for President !!! )
If you choose to make house hold furniture by hand … you should want a waiting list of rich people eager to get your signature stuff cause it’s THE best.
If you start a news podcast you should want to be THE best which would also mean presenting SOLUTIONS and bringing on guests who present SOLUTIONS.
“IF” the heat gets too hot … you should get the F out of the kitchen. Doesn’t mean you’re a bad guy, just means maybe you should make furniture, ( or whatever. )
ALL milk toast thin skinned news hobbyists listen and listen good :
Our great great grandfathers, great grand fathers, grand fathers and dads allowed America to become what it is today. The octopus like tentacles ( think Bond movie Spectre, ) have FOR GENERATIONS NOW infiltrated all gate keeper positions in our society. Of course in media academia gov’t etc., but look at all the apes and wiggers raping robbing and burning … and the supposed leaders “standing down,” saying there’s nothing they can do. Not too long ago the full military would’ve gone in and mowed them all down. It would’ve ended in a week. The modern panty waist syndrome is by design.
America is too totally shot to be saved as a whole. It MUST BE restructured to save what’s left of the REAL America. 4 or 5 new Republics, ours being A VERY ENLARGED CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA FOR WHITE CHRISTIANS ONLY … wherein by means of a ( based on 20 / 20 hind sight, ) perfected Confederate Constitution NONE of what you see happening here COULD happen there. Leaders allowing it and assisting with it would be arrested charged and if found guilty, publicly executed by firing squad.
To save America as a whole, we’d have to do about 20 + things. Here’s the first 3 :
1. Deport at least 30 million 3rd world darkies starting with Muslims.
2. Import, ( based on our needs and some with $$, ) about 15 million white Christians from South Africa, Europe and maybe Australia & Canada.
3. Swat team arrest ALL CEO’s and assistants and dweebs behind computer screens actually doing the censoring, of big tech big pay and t-shirt POD companies for treason and send them to Gitmo.
Even when Trump gets re elected … does anyone out there think JUST the above 3 things could happen without some far left activist judges overturning it ?
If you choose to be a “watchman” / “newsman,” then give a damn about being THE best. America’s counting on YOU.
