#FERGUSON: A Reckless, Failed Experiment In Societal Manipulation

When the dust settles, and it will, #Ferguson will forever be remembered as little more than a disastrous social exercise provoked by cunning intruders who exploited others into thinking they were owed something based on their skin color versus hard work and compliance with the law. Period.

In this case, “Ferguson” is not high-end plumbing supplies nor towns in Kentucky, Iowa or North Carolina. It’s a St. Louis suburb marred with controversy.

One need not explain Ferguson in detail here; if you’re alive you are aware. A police officer killed a black man, Mike Brown, in what was ruled a justified shooting. People went inappropriately crazy. It seems that black people are okay with being killed by other blacks but take great offense when another race participates in the act.

But let’s not make this racial yet, as hard as that might be.

When the “movement” (a word carefully adopted in lieu of the often “unlawful protests”) began, it was falsely promoted under the guise of “seeking legal reforms.” Instead, it has solely become inflammatory racial outcries complete with a hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter. It was then and remains all about race.

We spent our Holiday with close friends, one being the black family of a recently promoted executive who paved his own successes. Tensions were minimal at best. Okay, not true. They brought too much wine and I told them so. In turn, they accused us of going overboard on their kid’s gifts. We did. Being “self made,” they’re embarrassed by the actions of the protesters of all colors in all locations. I am too.

My disdain (substituted in place of “disgust” or “rage”) stems from certain people believing they are owed something based upon their skin color. Or, just because someone said they are. We can talk slavery if you want but not here and not today. Go argue with someone on Twitter about that. Being that I never owned any slaves, don’t know anyone who was a slave and didn’t personally encourage or profit from slavery, it’s a mute point to me. Sorry, but last I checked our President IS black, so clearly anything is possible.

I’m okay with Darren Wilson’s decisions. Not because Brown was black and Wilson is white. Rather, I believe that most cops do their jobs pretty well while keeping my family and I safe. Sometimes that includes shooting white criminals too. Blacks refuse to recognize that.

Leading the Ferguson ratpack (in his own mind) for national attention on this movement is a young man who doubles as social rights activist and HR Director for the Minneapolis Public Schools. He uses Twitter, Facebook and leftish publications to repeatedly post painfully nauseating messages about expanding black rights, ending “white supremacy” and “feeling the blackness.” Most of his rhetoric is egotistical lies, MLK quotes and masturbatory self-admiration. The first time I saw his posts I assumed it was a satirical account, like The Onion. His name is Deray McKesson and, I believe he shouldn’t be anywhere near the educational hiring process and even further away from young minds. Why this school system has yet to part ways with him is beyond me. If I had to guess, it would be because he is black.

Competing alongside him is Johnetta Elzie or “Netta,” who recently left St. Louis for Chicago as a “field organizer,” whatever that means, for Amnesty International. She somehow gets paid to stand in the streets and yell. We’ll expand on them at another time as they aren’t worth the character limit today [if ever]. Recently, Oprah publicly stated Deray and Netta aren’t leaders. Their abrupt, shameless rebuttals and self-denial on Twitter to her comments were comical. I actually cried laughing.

The premise that these two want the less fortunate to subscribe to is a dangerous one, that being:

If you disrupt the lives and livelihood of law-abiding citizens to the point of their inconveniences becoming discontent, you will be rewarded by being given things you didn’t earn, or in many cases don’t deserve, just to make you go away.

It truly is lunacy at its finest.

I’ve never read more race-baiting conjecture than McKesson and Elzie have punched out. Ever. The Reverend Al Sharpton is bad. These two are horrific. They hate cops and white people. They especially hate white cops.

Elzie recently posted that the “revolutionary godmother of the movement” is Assata Shakur aka Chesimard. Google her. A convicted domestic terrorist and cop killer on the FBI’s Most Wanted list who escaped custody and exiled to Cuba. Maybe Obama will get her back now, who cares. She is not a hero. Anyone who idolizes someone with no moral fiber is not to be respected or trusted. Everything McKesson and Elzie say and do is contrary to peace. I am disgusted that leading media has not disparaged them for their actions. After all, who really reads the “Patch?”

Reminder: properties damaged, lives lost, including cops being murdered directly due to this “movement.” Their baby.

What makes the entire demise of this town and its image most troubling is that these wannabe leaders are not at all vested in the community they’ve destroyed. As I type, a young black man named Josh Williams sits in jail for allegedly torching Ferguson. At whose direction? It’s supposedly on tape. Others were also arrested, some repeatedly. On the perimeter is Charles Wade and Shaun King, both known for “leading” revolts, or what they call “peaceful protests,” also non-residents. They pay people to protest.

Let’s be clear. Looting, destroying and killing are non-peaceful acts anywhere. Impeding traffic, blocking lawful access and infringing upon the rights of others – which is happening across America, isn’t legal – or fair. Yesterday, a group of misfits stood on railroad tracks and blocked a train’s passage in New England. That’s dangerous AND illegal. But, McKesson quickly took to the airwaves and praised them for doing so. Why?

With nationwide unrest continuing, Police are under fire and each decision they make is questioned. NYC Mayor Bill deBlasio has rightfully lost some respect with NYPD. While part of that no doubt is political posturing, I believe the NYPD does their job well. So does the LAPD as protesters remain camped in front of their HQ. They have tents and everything. Back in Missouri, McKesson and gang sought “eviction” of the St. Louis Police Department last month. They showed up “Notice” in hand for a “takeover.” It didn’t work of course, and they cried abuse when some were maced and arrested during their removal. Really, what were these imbeciles thinking?

Inside the boundaries of Ferguson and neighboring Berkeley is a never-ending string of struggling residents desperate to recover and rebuild. Police & EMS work overtime while fearful for their own lives. Politicians seem more worried about re-election than ending the silliness. Real estate values are on a death spiral while stagnant and closed businesses line the streets of these little towns where nobody wants to live, or go. Yet, the non-resident “organizers” remain comfy and safe in their own surroundings, many miles away. They manage and encourage the disruption via social media. And, myriads of really dumb people listen and comply. It’s truly cult-like.

Admittedly, I do sometimes get a kick out of scrolling the carnage on Twitter. Sure, I feel sorry for those lives both ruined and lost. Some posts are sad, others funny or even tasteless. Still, some are tasteless AND funny. It happens. What you see is an escalating, unhealthy division amongst all races over what to do and, how to end the unrest. If one looks at the crime, murders or even officer-involved shootings in the country on a daily basis, the Ferguson incident didn’t warrant any special attention. It was just an easy target for these outside predators.

What made Ferguson unique? Simple. It allowed itself to be hijacked by those with bad intentions. Those who are also allegedly involved in the collection of and misappropriation of donations to rebuild the town and support recovery efforts, including bailing out jailed protesters. Rumor has it over $100k was “donated” yet no one can account for the money. Now, others scrutinized for their involvement are claiming “harassment,” stating they’re receiving threats of harm, even death. They’ve gone into self-induced hibernation while STILL not explaining where the funds are. One is Leigh Maibes, an area Remax agent; another Keith Rose, a “social activist.” Maibes also “live streams” the unruly protests via cell phone so people across the nation can watch them in real time. I’ve watched a few and I have to say, if mainstream media would air the way most protesters act and how they treat property and law enforcement, there is not a SINGLE person in America of ANY color who would support these unruly, disrespectful cretans. It truly is disgusting.

It’s time for “#Ferguson” to end, globally. Nobody owes you anything more than doing his or her best. I think the police are. I want to believe governing bodies are. I further believe that most people are not racist. In my opinion, the most racist of ANY are the black people who keep expecting something for nothing. Those a tad smarter, like McKesson & Elzie, while pure racists themselves, both preach, manipulate and “organize” from afar while the protesters in these areas continue to rapidly accelerate their own demise.

In follow up contributions planned as time permits, we’ll post the links to various sites which highlight and exemplify these issues, including those with video streams. I won’t point you towards any specific hashtags or links now. There’s 100’s of them on every subject and flavor.

To me, this is still our America and #AllLivesMatter.

Let’s hope as McKesson and Elzie get swiftly dethroned, they receive that message loud and clear.
