Three Blogs in One
I’ve had three unfinished blog posts abruptly halted by new turmoil surrounding Donald Trump. His war with Iran renders writing about the ICE raids pointless. The economic instability we are experiencing makes the war seem like old news. Trump’s beef with the Catholic Pope distracted us from the war, only for the latest assassination attempt to divert our attention again. While this may seem strategic, Trump’s ability to keep We the People on our heels as he subverts the Framers’ system of checks and balances is merely the finest example of White male privilege at work. He’s rich, he’s White, he’s male, and he gets to have things his way without consequence. The same phenomenon is evident and well known in Silicon Valley where the common saying is “move fast and break things,” and also, “it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.” This notion is first recorded in 1846 in the “The Lives of the Queens of England,” by Agnes Strickland. She detailed how a Church Cardinal (privileged), advised a dutchess (also privileged) that divorces are easier apologized for than obtained by request. Clearly the consequence of the action was not a matter of life or death. Silicon Valley is White and rich. It’s businesses kill people regularly yet consequences are rare and light, if any. Non-White, non-rich people do not have the same relationship with consequences, as limits do not apply; being caught with a bag of weed could mean life in jail for a Black man when you calculate the the possible crimes associated with surviving in jail. In Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Capitol Hill and the countless White dominated enclaves, White male privilege allows rich White males to simply buy their way out of the damages they cause others. Morality and the people they hurt do not matter.
Event Stacking
The Trump administration is certainly “event stacking”- that is, through a barrage of controversial actions and scandals, decreasing We the People’s ability to exercise power over our government. Trump has undoubtedly overwhelmed America’s capacity to understand or manage the chaos he’s causing. It is impossible to discuss the deadly Minnesota ICE raids when we are making war against Iran. Meanwhile, there is no indication that ICE has ceased its Gestapo-like raids across the United States.
Trump’s war with Iran is on the verge of reigniting, and the Pentagon has issued a ridiculous estimate of $29 billion on the cost of Trump’s war, which happens to be the exact amount in American airplanes alone Iran has destroyed so far. Our economy is irredeemable, and absent the discovery of a new resource or the invention of a new technology exclusive to this country, recovery seems unlikely. I will briefly cover each subject in order to keep up with Trump’s Event Stacking. I’d better finish this post before something else happens!
Note: As I write this, the Supreme Court has effectively gutted the Voting Rights Act, and Tennessee has neutralized a Black voting district. Meanwhile, the conflict with Iran is escalating again; we have attacked several Iranian ports, and they have fired at our ships. It is literally impossible for We the People to effect these events or demand any action from their representatives amid such chaos.
Ice Raids
The chickens have come home to roost. White America lives in a rigged fantasy, believing they are good people in a good country behaving morally. This is a contrived outlook based on what I call “mental editing.” That is, when people form their outlook based on the blocking of certain truths and prioritizing of others. America’s forefathers exhibited the same tendency to mentally edit reality. They founded a nation on the principle that “All men are created equal” while mentally editing out the fact that they were enslaving men. Only people with a distorted and unrealistic mentality could compose those words while committing such actions. They then created a national framework, the Constitution, underpinned by labor extorted through the immoral institution of slavery. No human of sound mind would establish a national framework under such untenable circumstances. Thinking clearly would certainly cause them to give substantial attention to the free labor they were extorting from a large portion of the humans living in the nation they were forming; this was and still is profoundly problematic.
America’s forefathers crafted lofty language to establish a social and economic system that aimed to solve the dysfunction inherent to the resource-deprived Europe from which they came. However, they never resolved the fundamental problem of scarcity, the core issue that caused the barbarity underpinning European cultural development. The Framers mentally edited out the barbarity of designating Black people to compensate for their social model’s shortcomings. Contemporary racial science from Germany further reinforced their delusion.
The resulting mental delusion persists to this day, as White America designates Black people as the primary outlets for American society’s tendencies to exploit, harm, and kill its citizens. White America mentally edits out the fact that Black people, as the most designated victim of American domestic abuse, serve as the primary outlet for Western dysfunction. Whether it is the inherent tendency of business owners to generate immoral profits by paying Black employees less than White employees for the exact same duties, or the justice system abandoning its stated principles to incarcerate and profit from Black lives, or law enforcement incessantly creating unnecessary violent incidents that injure and kill Black individuals, Black people are the victim of choice of America’s persistent tendency to evade ethics and morality. In this position, Black people are forced into social subservience and, much like during slavery, are compelled to constantly relinquish the fruits of their labor and their dignity for the benefit of White people. A people who cannot protect themselves from the government could not possibly enforce advantageous or even equal labor and compensation standards. Post-slavery U.S. history is replete with stories of Black men being lynched for demanding agreed upon pay from their employers. George Sherman, Willie McDaniel, Jesse Lee Bond and Sam Hose immediately come to mind. The unoppressed, such as employers, or even White people arguing with Black people, can always call upon the government to enforce their superiority and grant them undeserved perseverance over the persecuted. White people who call the police to resolve non-violent, non-criminal disputes with Black people are subconsciously leaning on White supremacy; they know that police pressure and threat of death can make a Black person concede even though they are right. Police who fallaciously claim assault by Black people to justify the use of force are exploiting America’s mental editing and unawareness that it actively perpetuates White supremacy. The tendency to shift the burden of wrongdoing in an argument or unlawful use of force on an undeserving Black person is the act of mentally editing wrongdoing. There is currently no reckoning for this heinous social advantage because White America mentally edits out that it’s happening. In White America’s minds, American society represents humanity’s highest form of civilization ever; therefore, if law enforcement is hurting and killing Black people, it must be Black people’s fault; it could not be a flaw in the society itself.
Note: As I write this, the State of Tennessee has just banned Alex Haley’s book “Roots” from its classrooms because it may upset White children. This action validates what I am writing in real time: White America avoids confronting reality in favor of a contrived intellectual derivative designed to conceal its past and ongoing immorality. UPDATE: after national outrage, the School Superintendent reversed the decision.
The ICE raid murders in Minnesota are a direct consequence of White America’s delusion. Black America has been crying the same cries White America expressed over Renee Good and Alex Pretti for decades. In case after case, Black America for decades has appealed to White America begging them to stop allowing police to murder Black people then cite frivolous, made up factors to convert the murders into self-defense. Now that police are killing White Americans in cold blood, they are beginning to recognize the same plight they ignored when it was Black people. The cases of Renee Good and Alex Pretti illustrate what we have been saying for decades, police abuse their authority to kill by brutalizing and murdering individuals who oppose their politics. In our case, it was White supremacy against Black’s being whole, complete and empowered American citizens. In Minnesota, it is White supremacy against Latinos and White support of Latino ability to live as fully human.
The reality with Renee Good is that Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who murdered her, placed himself in harm’s way by positioning himself in front of a moving car. He did this while the car was already in motion and was fully aware of the possibility that it could move where he placed himself. He also had the option to position himself where the car could not hit him, but he chose the former. Jonathan Ross created a threat towards himself that I li
ken to the “I wish a nigga would” approach to policing that Black people have endured for decades, where, rather than take the most practical, expedient and safe steps to deescalate a situation, officers create circumstances where a person’s natural reaction provides an opportunity for them to use deadly force. They shoot people holding their hands up with rubber bullets then brutalize or kill them for failing to keep their hands up. They tase people who naturally try to pull the lightening-hot prongs from their skin, then punish them for not raising their hands. Growing up, I witnessed many instances where officers who would make sharp, sudden moves toward us as we were lined up against a wall during a stop. If we raised our hands to protect ourselves, they would claim it was an act of violence, thrash us then book us for assault on a police officer. We learned not to flinch or risk an assault charge. This would occur in situations where we were merely walking down the street and police decided to stop us.
Needless to say, Jonathan Ross acted unethically similar to police officers “wishing a nigga would.” Ross did not have to step in front of a moving car; he could have ensured his safety by moving to a position where the car couldn’t or was less likely to reach him. Once he was in front of Renee Good’s car and realized it was moving forward, he had two choices: step out of harm’s way or stand his ground. Ross chose the latter and then shot Renee Good in the Head. By stepping in front of her car and “wishing a nigga would,” her natural reaction to flee, enabled him to execute her under the guise of self-defense.
After the murder, the media did something that may seem new to White people but is all too familiar to Black people; they parroted the government’s fabricated story justifying the killing. In this case, Renee Good was portrayed as a crazed terrorist lesbian who stalked and attempted to murder police officers with her car.
As someone from the ‘hood who has seen murder and has had an intimate relationship with it, I must explain that even the hardest gangster has difficulty killing a human being, even in life-or-death circumstances. A good friend of my whose name I will not disclose, has been in jail for murder for decades. He and I once went to jail together for a gang fight. In an average gang, there are several levels of gangster tendencies. The highest, militarily, is that of being a “killer.” These members have likely already killed and are prepared to do so again. They are the ones sent on missions to kill or when the likelihood of killing is high, because others, despite being hard gangsters, may hesitate due to the natural human inclination to preserve life. It takes conditioning to become a killer, and this usually comes from being around other killers on the streets or in jail. Even with conditioning, crossing the murder line is far more difficult than the government pretended with Renee Good. I have been there the day after a murder with newly minted gang “killers” and can tell you they are psychologically broken for life. A killer O.G. from Compton was my angel. I borrowed his gun for a mission, and when I returned it, I told him I hadn’t “put a body” on it. He sat me down and changed my life. He told me, heart to heart, that once I cross the line and become a killer, I would see everyone I killed when I went to sleep every night for the rest of my life. The part that stuck with me was when he said that he has never had a good night’s sleep since he killed his first man. Not one! Most killers don’t figure this out until it’s too late. This man changed my life, and I thank God for this killer Angel.
Being capable of killing involves three elements: the will, intent, and means to end another person’s life.
Will means a person actually wants to and actually can kill someone. Can you kill someone? If you are human, you likely identify with other humans through a shared appreciation of life and, therefore, generally cannot kill another person. Protecting family, innocent people or ourselves may boost the will to kill, but even then, actions are certainly considered and measured. We have all been angry enough to want to kill someone, but if someone were to put a gun in our hands, for the vast majority, the will would diminish instantaneously; much of the commonly experienced desire to kill is based on the inability to actually carry it out. During slavery in America, religion and the “Curse of Ham” was used to dehumanize Black people in the minds of Whites, thereby lowering the will-to-kill threshold. Today, in Israel, the concept of “Goyim” reduces non-Jews, especially Palestinian Arabs, similarly lowering the human will-to-kill threshold, thereby enabling murder. Will is a human factor because everyone, to some degree, recognizes that others likely value life as they do.
The law Bolsters the will-to-kill threshold. European society sustains itself on unhealthy competition between citizens so killing was common in Early Europe. To compensate for this dysfunction, the various groups created laws to compensate for the social model’s tendency to lower the will-to-kill threshold. Prison and the death penalty help deter citizens from killing one another and today laws serve the same purpose.
Intent means a person has contemplated killing someone and wishes to proceed. This does not have to be directed at a specific individual; as it could be police officers in general due to frequent harassment, abuse and/or arrests; Black people due to racism; or any group one detests. A person can decide they have had enough and choose to take action. Intent is not always the result of contemplation. Emotion and stress can temporarily elevate intent levels. Every time there are protests about police brutality against Black people, White supremacists’ intent levels surge and they travel to the protests with the intent to kill or at least elevate the likelihood that protesters will die by agitating violence. The very first act of violent act of the George Floyd protests was a masked White man named Wesley Mitchell Carlson, who used a hammer to break a store’s windows at a rally location. He was followed and recorded but never unmasked. He, despite being recorded committing the first act of violence in the 2020 protests, was never charged with a crime and the FBI protected him by withholding his name from reports.
Lastly, the means to kill. The means to kill is relative because it directly affects will and vice versa. Everyone has the means to kill, as anyone can use a baseball bat or kitchen knife that can easily be used to kill another person. However, poking skin and feeling it pop as the knife goes in is a hard line to cross, believe me. Such means requires an extremely strong will to kill. Conversely, a gun or poison requires a lower will-to-kill threshold because they demand less direct input from the killer; a gun requires only pulling the trigger and poison requires placement. People cower at the sight of a gun and are scared to touch them because they require so little input. English common law and early American law addressed poisoning specifically because it lowers the will threshold so much. Thus, means is complicated. Most who have not killed have means but do not have sufficient will to use them. Those with easier means have even less will to kill. Most don’t know that in many drive-by shootings, the majority of the shooters are trying not to hit anyone. Societal and legal consequences, coupled with moral ramifications severely curtail the will to kill.
The point of this brief lecture on the mental elements of murder is to emphasize that White America does not require law enforcement to consider anything beyond the means when killing a Black person. Relying on the Black Social Deficit (more on this here), mentioning a gun causes White America to disregard will and intent. Even when officers provide the gun, White America shows no interest in determining whether a Black person intended to, or was even capable of using gun. In fact, a gun need not be present at all. I remember media absolving the murderous Sacramento Police officers for killing of Stephon Clarke merely because he held an iPhone. Whether wittingly or unwittingly, White America ignores will and intent, giving the government a clear path to Black death.
That changed when ICE executed a White person merely for lawfully carrying a firearm during a protest. The government subjected Alex Pretti, the slain protester, to the treatment typically reserved for Black people. Director of U.S. Homeland Security Kristi Noem called Pretti a, “domestic terrorist,” who aimed to, “inflict maximum damage” and, “Massacre law enforcement.” Noem was creating fictitious will and intent to legitimize the murder. Perhaps because Pretti is male, or that it was two back-to-back White police killings, but following Pretti’s killing, I witnessed something unprecedented;
White America showed the capacity to consider an armed victim’s will and intent.
I had never seen anything like this before! The murderous monolith fusing means with will and intent America established to permit the killing of Black people came under immense pressure and fragmented causing White America to take a fight to Media and government that Black people simply don’t have the political power 
to bring. WOW! For the first time I witnessed media discuss the intent of a person carrying a gun. We learned about Pretti’s actions prior to encountering ICE and about his profession. White America said, “A White medical worker protecting a woman couldn’t possibly intend to murder police, could he?” The media discussed the struggle as if he were not an invincible supervillain willing to die to kill police. Remember, when it comes to Black people, the media and law enforcement fault them for moving after they have been shot; they are portrayed as individuals so intent on killing police that even as they die, they are more concerned with killing officers than preserving their own lives. Laquan McDonald was shot by Chicago Police Department and then shot again, fatally, for writhing in agony.
Another example is John Crawford III, who was shot by police inside a Walmart while holding a BB gun. After taking multiple shots and while laying in his own blood, officers shot him again and killed him for moving. White America regularly hold shot Black men responsible for the natural act of moving after being shot. However, Alex Pretti needed to be redeemed. White America recognized that his circumstances and that being attacked by multiple agents will likely caused his hands to move. They called out the fact the government published a picture of his gun early on to influence American minds; they were interrogating the facts; an act they rarely if ever extend to Black people. In reaction, the government and media immediately attempted to repair the murder monolith, equating possession with will and intent to kill police, painting a Black-format picture of Alex Pretti. At the highest levels, government officials depicted Alex Pretti as someone who caused his own death by attempting to kill cops. White America resisted the government and media’s character assassination ploy so strongly that the Federal government had to wrestle the murder investigation away from the State of Minnesota in order to handle it with the same bias as they would a Black victim.
When police murder citizens for political reasons, they deliberately disregard the will and intent and focus on the 
means to kill only. They then use media to propagate character traits that establish a synthetic will and intent, which makes the public assume that the murder victim deserved to be killed. When it’s Black people, the Black Social Deficit helps the police narrative blame the victim. In the case of Renee Good, authorities fabricated a violent lesbian narrative to pretend she had the will and intent to kill police officers. Do you know how hard that would be for a regular person??? Lack of public will and intent is why law enforcement can murder so frequently with near impunity! The likelihood that Renee Good set out to run over police officers and could have actually gotten as far as to interact with them is extremely low. She likely aimed to disrupt them and interrupt their unethical orders to hurt and kill dark people. When the situation got real, she attempted to flee and Jonathan Ross, rather than allow her to go, seized upon that opportunity to kill her. Alex Pretti wasn’t gay and they couldn’t find any negative character traits on him, so they leaned in on his legal possession of a handgun. Authorities immediately published a picture of his gun to counter the undeniable fact that ICE was responsible for his murder.
The government exercised its taxpayer-funded power to portray a confused woman fleeing from vengeful police, and an upstanding hospital worker attempting to rescue a woman from ICE’s abuse, into crazed attempted murderers. Although White America immediately recognized the government and media’s narratives as bullshit, they failed to recognize that the government’s muscle-memory tendency to thinly veil government murder, was actually their fault. Law enforcement became accustomed to such leeway when describing the circumstances of their killings that it expected White America to accept their wildly unrealistic interpretation of the two Minnesota murders. White America’s complacency with Black murders gave license to the government enforce their political agenda that way. White America let the media blame Trayvon Martin for attacking George Zimmerman, ignoring that Zimmerman created the entire situation by arming himself then pursuing the 13-year-old boy coming home from buying candy. They let law enforcement cite a pocket knife found after the fact as reason for pursuing, torturing then murdering Freddie Gray in Washington D.C. They continue to accept the notion that somehow an overdose perfectly timed itself with Derek Chauvin putting his knee George Floyd’s neck. White America has accepted the most ridiculous reasons for law enforcement murdering Black people and now the chickens have come home to roost.
Now that White people are affected, White America suddenly has the capacity to discuss will and intent, such as whether the angle of Renee Good’s wheel indicated intent to run over Jonathan Ross. In Alex Pretti’s case, was his arm flailing during the struggle with ICE officers, or was he reaching for his gun to use? The level of detail White America shows the ability to consider greatly contrasts with their consideration in Black victims, where mere possession of a weapon is sufficient.
In the Black Panther era of the 1960s, Party members surrendering to police often did so in the nude because White America often allowed officers to consider the wearing of clothes justification for killing because they might have a weapon. Will and intent were no factor, as, just as today, their skin color equaled will and intent. This was acceptable to White America as long as Black people were the victims. This tolerance further ingrained deceit into law enforcement culture, which now increasingly affects White people as well, resulting in the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The chickens have come home to roost.
New point: It looks like White America and the government have come to an agreement. White people can’t go beyond what Black protesters can do and White protesters can’t use white privilege to protest the government, like Renee Good did. While White protesters are standing in front of ICE detention facilities and getting into small scuffles with officers, they are no longer following ICE vehicles and disrupting their operations. They got the message; “disrupt White supremacy and we will kill you.“
Trump’s War with Iran
“We lost!” These are words that America, especially its leaders, cannot bring themselves to say. Since World War II America’s record of winning wars is abysmal. In Korea, we compromised by dividing the country in two. We lost 
Vietnam, being driven out of the country by the VietCong, tossing helicopters overboard to fit escaping personnel onto our fleeing naval ships. In the first Iraq War, we achieved our objective of getting them out of Kuwait and we wisely took cares to avoid going for total victory by attacking Baghdad. However, sheltered inexperience, exacerbated by nepotistic confidence led to the two catastrophic blunders that accelerated the West’s decline: The Iraq War, and now the conflict with Iran. George W. Bush and Donald Trump are sheltered nepo-babies whose perception are clouded by their pampered lives. War is real, and people fight back fiercely. Those lacking real life experience can mistakenly think force alone can achieve victory. They have functioned their whole lives around “yes” people and never experienced true resistance. Bush is from a sundown-town where the police kept Black people from moving in or even remaining in city limits after dark. Government kept him secluded from struggling Black people. Trump father rallied with the KKK and Trump himself helped frivolously persecute the Central Park Five, putting his money into an ad calling for death penalty sentences for five innocent Black children accused of a rape they had nothing to do with. In both cases, the nepo-baby president’s saw the state use its force to subjugate dark people; they never experienced them fighting back directly, rather they just pressed a button and America’s government delivered the result they wished.
As president, they expected the same result and were unpleasantly surprised by direct resistance to the whole of the American government. While the police, the national guard, deputized vigilante militias and ultimately the us military stood in place to ensure Bush’s neighborhood remained all-White and that the Central Park Five would rot in jail cells, these privileged White men don’t get their way in Iraq and Iran; direct resistance, something neither was accustomed to or ever experienced, was real. They were accustomed to oppressing people made docile by robbing them of their native cultures, then instilling a marginally-effective Christianity based outlook. However, Middle Eastern people have their own strong and deep cultural foundation and will. Culture and strong will are superior to any weapons as we are currently seeing in Iran.
Bush II accelerated the decline of Western Society when he recklessly sought total victor over Iraq. This is the consequence of a detached, privileged life. I’ll say it. WE LOST. Although we did kill Saddam Hussein and install friendlier leaders, these leaders consistently pursue their own interest; they work constantly to achieve their own agenda, many of which conflict with ours. Much like how the English and Dutch invasions of South Africa triggered the formation of the Zulu nation, our war against Iraq led to the formation of ISIS. (I still do not understand why they chose an English name: “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria”) The most detrimental for America was that we destabilized the region, eliminating the only check on Iran, the other major power.
We Lost
The biggest explosion of the Iraq War was not the 2000-pound JDAM bomb, the 4700-pound bunker busters, or even the GBU-37/B 5000-pound bunker buster bombs. Rather, our national debt explosion caused the worst national damage. America’s national debt skyrocketed from $5.73 trillion to $10.63 trillion. Moreover, the war was primarily funded through emergency supplemental appropriations, which are largely off the books. This means that President Bush was responsible for a significant portion of President Obama’s first term national debt increase. We lost!
The greatest loss of Bush II’s Iraq War wasn’t the spiraling national debt, rather the erosion of our security as the ultimate global threat. Before the Iraq War, we were a force to be avoided at all costs. After Vietnam, our military buildup made us the most feared military power in the world. The world witnessed our superiority in smaller operations like the capture of Manuel Noriega in Panama and the swift, powerful and precise First Gulf War, which wisely refrained from attacking Baghdad. These operations were limited, impactful, and left the world’s imagination fearing our untested capabilities; they had the impression that a full-on conflict with us was highly consequential or even unsurvivable. Potential adversaries knew we possessed the world’s largest nuclear arsenal and that we easily won small engagements, however, our capabilities beyond small strikes and nuclear warfare remained untested and no one was willing to find out what untested abilities we possessed. So, the actually deterrent was the mystery surrounding our full potential. A naïve President Bush II revealed that potential, attacking a resilient Iraqi people and losing. He claimed they would “greet us a liberators,” but they met us with a fierce ass whoopin. Our attempts to conquer Iraq, including the “surge” demonstrated that short of using nuclear weapons, our bite was far weaker than our bark; a strong-willed nation could contend with America. Hell, Iraq didn’t even have an air force, yet put up a good fight that drained the U.S. treasury and dramatically decreased domestic patriotism and the will that used to be required by the Constitution to go to war. Iraq beat us.
We lost Afghanistan as well. Watching the entire media cover our exit from Afghanistan without uttering the 
forbidden words, “WE LOST,” was like witnessing the unstoppable force and immovable object collide in real time. What could have been a simple operation and a victory in December 2001 turned into a time, reputation, and economic drain only to end in 2022 with the Taliban’s door knob hitting us where the good Lord split us. The Taliban in Afghanistan demonstrated to the world that America was a force to be reckoned with. Rather than acknowledge this reality, Republicans now blame the exit from a war they started but lacked the courage to end on the Democrats. Dead serious! You can’t make this up! It’s like pushing someone off of a cliff then blaming them for the rough landing.
Following the second Iraq War countries like Russia immediately became bolder, annexing Crimea from the Ukraine and later seizing additional territory. What can America do? Go to war with Russia? We couldn’t even defeat Iraq or Afghanistan. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan ruined American’s reputation worldwide. Before Iraq we were an immense threat that other countries were too fearful to challenge. After Iraq, we became a measurable deterrent that countries must carefully consider before pursuing their military goals. Now talks of China taking Taiwan are becoming a reality. They will take it and America will be unable to stop them.
Trump, being a nepo-baby, is less intelligent than George W. Bush, and our nation is unwise to interpret his short-sighted, impulsive, ego-driven decisions as tact. John McCain famously sang “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” back in 2007, so it is no surprise that once the Republicans and Israel received a President foolish enough to actually 
do it, that we attacked them. Wiser presidents knew better; we have lost to weaker adversaries before. Barack Obama remarked that Israel attempted to get him to attack Iran, but he didn’t fall for it. But Trump did, and he proceeded anyway! Seemingly at Israel’s direction, he bombed Iran in June 2025 during Operation “Midnight Hammer.” America dropped its best and most powerful non-nuclear bombs on an Iranian nuclear site yet failed to destroy it. While Trump claimed he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program we were somehow back months later to destroy what the President claimed we had already destroyed. Trump effectively demonstrated to our adversaries that, short of nuclear war, small nations can defend themselves against America’s most powerful artillery.
Iran has an air force and a military that have been preparing for potential attacks for decades. We initially attempted to destabilize their government by exploiting the conditions caused by our sanctions, followed by attacking them militarily. We along with Israel sought to elevate Iran’s discontented citizens over its patriots by smuggling in weapons and sending mercenaries, who subsequently murdered protesters and Iranian police and military personnel. Such behavior is dirty, immoral, two-faced, but as Western as apple pie. If you fail to see the unethical immorality, imagine the roles reversed: today in America, the system will employ media and government officials to evade moral and legal consequence of killing Black people. We Black people are an oppressed political minority, much like Iranian protesters, and that is simply reality. Now imagine if Russia or China suddenly “took issue” with how America treats Black citizens, formed a global coalition, and shipped arms and equipment to Black Americans for defense against law enforcement. Imagine them flying over the U.S., bombing police and National Guard stations, breaking down prison walls, and arming inmates. Imagine Russian and Chinese skilled mercenaries taking up strategic positions near protests then killing LAPD commanders, tear gas deployers during protests, then calling in airstrikes against Armored Personnel Carriers that arrived to bring order. Imagine some of those same mercenaries killing Black people then blaming it on law enforcement and government officials. The American government could barely handle unarmed protests in the 2020s, so imagine adding offensive elements to it. This terribly dishonorable behavior, that is, the meddling in other nations’ domestic affairs, is exactly what we and Israel are doing in Iran right now; we did it in Venezuela and are likely beginning to do it in Cuba too. During the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, masked men, seemingly Russian, offered us weapons on several occasions. In one instance, a man offered us Novichok, a deadly poison that causes such suffering that the LAPD would immediately stop their constitutionally suppressive tactics. We refused, of course. Whether these offers were real in uncertain, but they did show an awareness that Blacks in America are the lever to topple the American empire. We are an oppressed underclass with aspirations that run counter to the nation’s will just as Iran’s, Cuba’s, and Venezuela’s pro-Western factions are in their respective countries.
However, Iran was prepared for U.S. social subversion, held firm and fought back, even after we killed its supreme leader. Our media selectively covered the successes while downplaying or frequently omitting the failures. Subsequently our government and media engaged in what I call “collective conspiratorial denial,” completely abandoning the modicum of honesty they had. They chose to follow the Trump administration’s lead, by outright lying; they continuously claimed that Iran’s successful strikes against us were actually self-inflicted or accidental friendly fire. The USS Gerald Ford reportedly caught fire on its own, and our ally Kuwait allegedly “accidentally” shot down three of our F-15 fighter jets. Under the pretext of rescuing a downed pilot, we attempted to Seize Iran’s enriched uranium but failed. The media never explored the truth regarding this incident and we have yet to see the pilots who were shot down or know their names.
Typically, we showcase our rescued soldiers, especially since the second rescued pilot supposedly evaded capture for 48 hours in mountainous terrain. However, in the case of the downed F-15, the government has not even released the pilots’ names, if they are still alive. Donald Trump is a braggart, so the fact that he is not boasting about the rescued pilots or invited them to the White House to thank him in person suggests a deeper story. This is highly unusual behavior that our media have left unchecked and unexplained. Note: media reports claim one of the downed F-15 pilots was shot down again. This could be a ploy to launder the first incident and add a real pilot’s identity to old incident.
Iran followed through on its threat to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, and American citizens are feeling the impact at the gas pump and in the stores; companies need fuel to transport goods to market. Trump responded with a pseudo-blockade on the strait, that is, a blockade that only applies to countries we can’t beat in a shooting war. China can sail its oil tankers freely past Trump’s so-called “blockade” and the American media hide this fact from American minds by failing to report this. Yes! The Average American citizen is unaware that China is effectively exempt from the U.S’s authority over world affairs. This is a significant fact that all Americans should be aware of. If American citizens engaged in critical thinking, they would connect Trump’s statements to reality and recognize that he is not in control. He claimed that he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program but six months later started a war because it was a threat. This war was supposed to last four-to-five weeks, yet 14 weeks later we are on the verge of bombing them again. He also claimed Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz but it remains closed. Trump claimed to put up a blockade but China sails right through it. Anyone capable of stepping back to see the bigger picture can clearly see that Trump is not in control. The media help him obscure this reality by distorting public perception, selectively covering stories that benefit both Trump and media. By May 13th, 2026 the media had America thinking Iran had not hit any US navy ships and only shot down one F15. In reality, several planes have been shot down and many more have been destroyed on the ground. Media reporting hides this fact. Our media report that 13-15 U.S. soldiers have been killed, but these figures must be false, as, a role-call would yield a definitive number. How many mothers have been visited with bad news? Give me a break! Iran tore us a new asshole and our media are hiding this from the public.
In reality, Iran has mounted a fierce defense against the world’s most powerful military. This, in itself, is a significant victory. Iran defended itself. It forcefully attacked the entire region causing other countries to reconsider America’s ability to protect them, and their alliance with the U.S. as a whole. Now, with U.S. bases in the region destroyed, it appears that Middle Eastern countries are exploring a non-aggression pact with Iran. Even if these efforts prove unsuccessful, Iran has shown the world that the U.S. can be challenged.
Iran’s most significant strike against us targeted what really hurts, our pockets. The Iranian military shrewdly manufactures $10,000 drones that we destroy with million-dollar missiles. Then, Iran hit four of our eight THAAD missile systems at a price of $300-$500 million dollars and missiles costing $12 million. It destroyed several Airforce jets, including a very important and expensive AWACS plane. In total, it appears we have lost around $29 billion in aircraft alone. So far in this Iran war, WE HAVE LOST. Someone needs to say it. We have spent a tremendous amount of money trying to compel Iran to reopen a strait that was open before we attacked them. Iran still maintains its nuclear program, and now that we have demonstrated our capabilities, both Iran and the world recognize that our military strength, short of nuclear war, is formidable. We are losing this war.
Update: The war resumed during the week of June 1st, when Trump ordered the bombing several sites in Iran. 
In retaliation Iran struck several bombing several bases and buildings in Tel Aviv. Israeli law strictly censors reporting about damages, however, several unofficial sources claim Iran’s strikes were devastating. Iran remains a formidable opponent, and despite Trump claiming we eliminated their military capabilities, they keep striking back fiercely. On Friday, June 5th, the Stock Market took a dive with the Dow Jones losing 695 points. On Monday, it dipped lower. On Tuesday, it looked like it stabilized but on Wednesday it took another tremendous dive with the Dow Jones sinking 952 points sinking below the 50,000 point mark Trump celebrated in February. On Thursday, Trump cried “UNCLE” suspending attacks against Iran prompting the Stock Market to immediately rebound gaining 929 points. It appars that aside from the Epstein files, the main leverage against Trump is the Stock Market.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner
The assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has some unusual details. A K-9 officer, presumably from the secret service received instructions from a Fox News show host. Moments later that same officer escorted Cole Thomas Allen, the attempted assassin, to a doorway where three seconds after the Secret Service Agent walks away, Allen burst from that doorway with a long shotgun, ran past a Secret Service security checkpoint, then was captured and arrested uninjured. An officer was shot in his bullet proof vest. 
While many initially alleged it was friendly fire, it was later determined to be a single pellet from the 9-pellet buckshot fired from the 12 gauge. This is unusual because Allen fired from approximately six to eight feet away. For buckshot to spread that widely at such a short distance is uncommon. Buckshot is typically used to shoot ducks in flight; such a high dispersal rate would render shotguns virtually useless against distant targets. A video on youtube shows a man shooting a 12-gauge shotgun similar to Allen’s at a human sized target 300 feet away, that is approximately 36 times the distance. Four of the nine pellets hit the target so at eight feet away, nearly all of them should have struck the agent. Something is off.
Needless to say, rather than expressing genuine concern, everyone immediately began exploiting the incident for 
personal and professional gain. Wolfe Blitzer suddenly became the 2Pac of news, seizing every opportunity to mention that the shooter ran past him in the lobby before being apprehended. The Trump administration immediately capitalized on the event with a renewed push for his $400 million White House bunker disguised as a ballroom. America shifted from a temporary halt on construction due to a federal lawsuit, to a renewed effort, now with a $1 billion price tag. Liberals launched their usual campaign for gun control, somehow blaming AR-15s even though Mr. Allen used a shotgun. Melania Trump leveraged the situation to try to pressure CBS into firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump, who didn’t want to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner anyway, got his way and the event was cancelled. America gained little from the assassination attempt, as it is becoming increasingly common for Americans to attempt to kill the president. Trump has so thoroughly debased the office of President so much that Americans and American institutions aren’t even united on the notion that killing the president is wrong. Rather than unite in good faith to condemn the attempt, everyone immediately attempted to gain personally from it. The impact of the leadership class’ failure to take the American government seriously had on the American population may be irreparable, as it gave license to regular citizens to wish would-be assassins success in killing the President. Just as the leadership class sought to take from this event, what would advance them and their institutions. Regular citizens are wishing for the death of the president so their food and gas prices will be decreased. This is the opposite of what happened after 9/11.
Distracting America
Trump’s “event stacking” has put America on its heels, causing us to lose focus on what should be America’s number one concern; the Epstein files. It is deeply disappointing that America doesn’t produce a culture so outraged by child rape that the public wouldn’t halt all the political infighting and unite across the entire political spectrum to force the release of the Epstein files. Among the entire Presidential administration and staff, the whole judiciary and everyone involved in the investigation, NOT ONE PERSON is offended enough by child rape and murder to break a rule and expose the files. Police in America betray their oaths by arresting and killing Black men, politicians betray the Constitution to achieve ideological and political goals, judges betray the law to create legal victories that contradict legal precedent, yet NO ONE will break a rule to protect innocent children.
The Black Standard
To be clear, we Black people are generally so strongly opposed to hurting children and women that we have a defacto death penalty built into our prison culture. Yes! If you rape a child and go to jail, Black people will kill
you. Our enforcers do not care about the legal consequences or any moral or justice principles. In fact, many in jail with shorter sentences, relinquish any chances of freedom to carry out the penalty for hurting children. You molest 
a child or rape a woman, you die! In contrast, White America, which holds the overwhelming majority of political sway, appears to be ok with child rape. It has demonstrated a willingness to overthrow the Capitol and commit insurrection to overturn an election but won’t do the same to eradicate Washington of child molesters and molester protectors. Crime statistics show that White males commit the most rape, incest, and molestation. The same 
class of American is currently protecting Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators including President Trump. White America should be as laser-focused on identifying and bringing Epstein’s co-conspirators to justice as they are on bringing Black people to justice for minor infractions like broken tail lights. I have been to court and have successfully defended myself against LAPD officers two times in the last year behind them looking for guilt where it did not exist; they were making sure I wasn’t guilty by putting me through the justice system. This process ensures that I remain vigilantly lawful. If White America cared about protecting children as much as LAPD seems to care about me being guilty, it would pursue Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators with the same zeal, eagerness, and enthusiasm. However, the current state of America, where the legal system, the media, and the White American public PROTECT the President whose name appears over 38,000 times across 5300 documents in the Epstein files, shows America to be “net pedophilic,” that is, if you add the total population and subtracted the portion who would fight pedophilia, you would have a huge surplus of pedophilia-friendly citizens. This is proven by the fact Trump is still President and Epstein’s co-conspirators, with the exception of Ghilane Maxwell have experienced no consequences. And even Ghilane Maxwell penalties have trended towards excused, as the Justice System has provided her with relief, transferring her to a far more comfortable facility to do her time. Thus, Trump and his co-conspirators are safe and will remain protected by White America from any consequences for raping children. White people will not storm the capitol, as this does not offend them as much as Donald Trump losing the 2020 election.
These events should have been covered in three extensive blogs, but they keep coming and coming. We are is not strong enough to beat Iran (I wrote these words before Trump backed down), yet Trump’s ego is too big to walk away. America remains too racist to stop persecuting dark people so ICE raids will continue and public trust in law enforcement will erode to the point of anarchy. Racism will worsen because White America sees that racist politicians can act openly and achieve racist goals. This emboldens White Americans to express the prejudice they have been holding back. The assassination attempt normalizes the idea and when another Black person becomes president again, their murder will likely be trivialized through comparisons Trump assassination attempts. In short, America is not what it once was and is in rapid decline. Israel’s commandeering of America, the West’s latest attempt at greatness has turned the country inward and caused it to eat itself from within. Education has deteriorated to the point where Americans struggle to think broadly about the Nation’s overall situation. While this may sound like a put down, I am also American and saw great potential in this Western social model. Unfortunately, it would be naïve not to recognize that the forces undoing the so- called progress America has achieved is natural and must be inherent to the people controlling it. 160 years after slavery was abolished in America, some force has caused it to be re-instituted in Louisiana and soon, the rest of the United States. 50+ years after Roe v. Wade, some driving force caused America to eliminate women’s choice to choose to be Pro-Life or Pro-Choice. What non-White male America considered moral progress, was merely an obstacle to America’s true power, as it fights its way to the America it once was. America is reverting to the natural and seemingly unchangeable form of early Europe: racist, sexist, and barbaric. This indicates there have always been Americans lying in wait to return America to its pre-Civil War form. Something I can only describe as “Western character” is causing America to revert back towards the very wrongs we boast about transcending.
