It’s diffcult to hear anything but the cheering going on after the murder of the United Health CEO. One would think we have turned into a nation of blood thirsty and lawless people. Have we given up our peaceful nature and exchanged it for bloody murder?
I am not in favor of murder. The law should take care of things without a person having to resort to violence. But even I have some part of me that is saying, “He had it coming.” Of course we don’t know the entire story. It’s possible that he was about to expose United Health and its unseemly practices that put profit over service to its customers and was taken care of before he could do that. We just don’t know the real back story and with the lying media we have, probably never will.
The cheering continues, however, and we must deal with why that is. A simplistic reason is the violence in our video games, our media and even our sports causes us to be violent. Engaging in or watching violence is supposed to make us prone to committing it. This does not hold water, though it may be a contributing factor.
How about all the chemicals we are subject to in our medicine, food, water, and air? Could these cause us to go off the rails and commit murder? There is a possibility this could also be a contributing factor. Antidepressants have been suspect as causes of violent behavior for a long time. Additives to our food such as red dye #3 and others have been shown to not only be unhealthy for the body, but the mind as well. The air and water are not clean, but there seems to be little correlation between that and violence.
How about the policies of United Health that refused benefits to many who qualified and desperately needed them? Well, that certainly would get the blood to boiling and violence would certainly be thought of. But there is a disconnect here as well. How many CEOs who have done awful things to individuals of the public have been attacked in any way? OK. There have been a few. Gates, for instance, took a cream pie in the eye. That was cheered on by millions. But you cannot name me one case where serious damage was done and the public cheered, let alone with the unanimity and volume they are cheering today.
Even with all of the above contributing factors, the question remains, why is the cheering going on now? I’m going to give you an answer, one many of you won’t understand or like. The answer is Them, also known as They. I am not being flippant here. “They” are referred to often. We don’t always know their names and some who do are reluctant to name them. I will name some of the approximately 1,000 families who represent “they.” Let’s start with Rothschild, Rockefeller, Remington, Cargill, Dupont, and Bush. Add to that a few of the newer names- Clinton, Gates, Walton. There are many more who are in the club you aren’t a member of. They don’t always work together in unison and they are not always in agreement, but they do collaborate to consistiently deny the “little people” rights and cash. Control. It’s all about control.
This situation, a war of the uber wealthy against the working class, has existed for some time. So, why is murder an applaudable action to take now? The short answer is that all the doors to redress are closed. Below I have listed those doors and the locks on them that keep us from getting anything done about this huge enequity.
Law- The rich own the courts. The courts regularly make decisions that tend to favor the rich and even go against the Constitution to do so. Some of the unconstitutional laws and actions are even upheld by the Supreme Court (ie. The repeal of Posse Comititus by Obama). In addition, a court case costs a lot of money, money regular people don’t have. Door closed.
Media- They own most of the media and censor all of it as much as possible. Censorship has made it damn near impossible to get good, balanced, and true coverage of stories. If you have a beef and they don’t want it aired, your story will not be told. Door closed.
Money- Never underestimate the value of a ton of money. You can do a lot with it and keep your hands clean at the same time. The amount of money these people have individually is enough to overwhelm any group of us. Door closed.
Vote- Yes, vote but realize that if you vote on a machine, an 11 year old can flip the results with just 30 seconds of work. Also realize that mail-in balloting is easy to disrupt and change the results. On the top end, realize that the only ones who get to run are those they let get that far and if they go rogue, they will be taken care of one way or another. Also realize that the system runs on money and all of us together don’t have enough to outspend them. Voting will not upend their game. Door closed.
Petition- A waste of time. I have signed literally thousands of petitions and have never seen one make any difference. However, I’m sure that my name has been lifted off each petition and is filed away with the rest of my information. Door closed
Protest- Protest all you want and here’s what it will get you: If you are lucky, you won’t be harmed. I have attended many protests and not been hurt in any way. But you will be recorded and marginalized. For instance, I was in an antiwar march in San Francisco during the early 70s. The march was reported and historians, journalists, and officials have estimated the size to be 60-80,000 people. I was there. There were a least a quarter of a million people. Another result could be violence on your person. The cops will use clubs, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and any other device they can think up to use against a crowd. We have seen plenty of this. I saw some of it first hand a Standing Rock. I was working in the kitchen at the time of the incident, but I did see the results in the damaged people who came in from the below freezing weather with hyperthermia from being sprayed with water cannons, bruises from rubber bullets, and burns from the use of pepper spray. Another present you might receive is arrest and a possible long jail term as is evidenced by the Jan. 6 supposed insurrection. Protest? Door closed.
What’s a body to do? The only door left open is violence. That is why the cheering keeps going on for the murder of the CEO. What is not widely recognized is that the person who murdered him was a patsy. The CEO himself was just a frontman designed to be a patsy if need be. All those we love to hate, Gates, Fauci, Pelosi, et al are just fronts for the fronts who control them. Buried deep in the works are the real perpatrators who have no nationality, no ethics, and no morals. They control the waves of patsies in front of them through offering money and power, using blackmail, or threats, and any other means at their disposal. Until we drill down to the rotten core, there will be no lasting change for good. In the meantime, when one of the frontment get tagged, we cheer.
