I 100% agree with MeggyMeg. Adam said it cleary he does not want rasists to follow him. People should educate themself what rasismus is. I have not hear people on this board to say that they hate all white people after a white man shot children in the shool or in Vegas. So why some looters proves you to hate all black people? Nobody is to old to learn. Hate/rasismus is learned and can be unlearned if the people are willing.

adamlambertCome on NY times. You’re better than this. No mention of the INTENTION of the protesting. NO mention of Police brutality- the very problem that switched peaceful protests into a war zone. The LAPD hunted citizens down who were only exercising their constitutional rights. The police lit the fire and poured gasoline on it themselves. This is not an opinion. It’s all on film. The corruption is disgusting. This all happened because being called out, they’re fragile egos couldn’t handle it and the true colors were laid bare. #policereform #blacklivesmatter http://instagr.am/p/CA_om7AnPiP Does anyone have a link to the video Adam says he saw of the police burning their car? This and the "government leaving bricks" are a bit fringy.

I mentioned this before, but I don't think it made sense to you.
The US is a Republic. It has not operated as a republic because we never became free from England.
All the ruckus now is due to the US going back to a Republic and cutting the ties to England.
HeWhoCannot amed is there by invitation (we have never elected a president.) They call them president, but their authority was limited. HeWhoCannot amed was chosen by that military group you have seen in the picture. His purpose was to bring back the business that were "sold" to China. And as you saw, to buy back the Long Beach Port. There are probably many other things that have not been reported.
We are wasting our energy in being "pissed" with HeWhoCannot amed. What we want to know is "What is the truth of what is going on". We don't know the truth which is very annoying. It gets me that we "are not smart enough for "them" to tell us the truth. If any of you are gifted with "sleuthing" find out what the hell is the plan. They are sucking our energy with the "crap" we are told, but we don't have the "plan". Power wants us to fight each other, well we aren't going to. www.annavonreitz.com/directive.html annavonreitz.com/briefreportenglish.pdf

Nobody is to old to learn. Hate/rasismus is learned and can be unlearned if the people are willing. My sentiments exactly! Appreciate your statement --- especially the bolded section! There are bad people in every race, --killers, rapists, looters, abusers, kidnappers, the list goes on and on. I always reflect back on that depiction of the picture many races of people, then the skeletons of those people. All the same!

m45maia - I am sorry because I know you are sincere, but I cannot exist on the Mr. Robot level of conspiracy you espouse. By definition, as normal human-beings, we cannot see or impact or even prove that machinations of this extreme even exist. All I can do is live in the world as it presents itself to me and balance my actions to its need.

As far as HeWhoCannot amed and current events, I am moving the following post over from yesterday because I need say my piece as we are all doing here.
[from 06/03/20 thread]
Sure, HeWhoCannot amed is actively trying to drive people apart to benefit himself but HeWhoCannot amed is not the real problem here. The problem is decades of:
Hate Injustice Racism Discrimination
It's all well and good (and even true) to state that there are decent policemen or politicians or name any person of power and privilege ... but what you can't do is stand behind their riot gear confident in their desire to protect you preferentially and say shame on those bad apples.
We, as white Americans, have spent decades actively suppressing the ability of the minority to advance and share in America's prosperity. Not only, but especially if you vote Republican. The policies are clear and non-contestable. Calls to 'lift up' these populations have effectively meant demanding that they jump through myriad and often insurmountable hoops to prove their worthiness. When was the last time you were asked to prove your worthiness for your basic rights as citizens?
I am struggling and have struggled with my actions in this regard. Today, I want to get out and protest but I also fear dying of CoVid-19. Ultimately, I came down on the side of not risking death, but I will continue to review that decision as events progress. I educate myself as best I can and question my gut reaction to any provocation. I am a child of the South and I know that layers and layers of education and striving for wisdom do not always protect against that early-learned ingrained response. I do VOTE my conscience and not my heritage.
