Cop Had No Rational Defense to Shoot Rayshard Brooks in the Back Twice!!!
Rayshard Brooks |
There is no
rational defense of this shooting. If someone is running away from you with a short-range weapon, it is literally impossible for them to pose an imminent
threat to you. Just allowing Brooks to run out of the range of the taser, as he
was already trying to do, would have nullified any potential threat to either
of the two officers on the scene, because it would have been literally
impossible for Brooks to tase them while continuing to run in the direction he
was running.
The indisputable and self-evident fact has not stopped people from bleating moronic
police apologia in my social media notifications since the shooting occurred.
They claim Brooks could
have tased an officer and taken his gun (again, let Brooks take himself out of
taser range and there's exactly zero risks of this happening).
They claim they couldn't just let a "dangerous" criminal run around
with a police weapon (it's a taser; you can buy them at Walmart. What is he
going to do? Go on a mass tasing rampage?).
They claim the cop had to execute Brooks because he posed a "danger to
society" (it is not a cop's job to act as judge, jury, and executioner in
determining whether someone poses a general threat to society; that's what the
courts are for).
They claim if you punch a cop you
deserve whatever you get (believing, because they are authority-worshipping
bootlickers, that a cop being punched is worse than a civilian being killed by
gunfire).
They claim if you don't follow police instructions then of course you're at
risk of being killed (yes, police doing inexcusably brutal things is the problem that people are trying to address here).
Even leaving aside any debate about policing as it exists in America today,
there was absolutely no excuse for Rolfe's behavior. They had all of Brooks' information.
They had his car. They knew where he lives. They could have followed him in
their car and called for backup. They could have gone in with backup to arrest
him later.
But Rolfe decided to kill. After watching all these protests against police brutality raging throughout his the country since the murder of George Floyd, after being confronted with all the public outrage about police killing black men day after day in the news headline after news headline, after his society forced him to contemplate police violence and his role in it, Garrett Rolfe still decided to kill. After all that, he watched a black man running away from him, posing no threat to him whatsoever, and he decided to kill.
The fact that cops are so
thoroughly inoculated against public demand that they change their behavior
makes a complete farce of the decoy police "reform" agenda that
establishment narrative managers have been actively trying to corral the
current protest movement into to kill their support for police abolishment.

Neoliberalism Its History, Its Discrepancy and Why It's Bad News for Americans! [Part 1]
Neoliberalism Has Been A Disaster For The American People, And The Effort Has Been A Bi-Partisan Endeavor.
Institutions like the WTO, the World Bank, and the IMF.
Neoliberalism is political. Neoliberalism is economics. It is a system of social relations and a set of values.
What Are Neoliberal Values?
- Strong Property Rights.
- The Free Markets Should Shape Society.
- The value of the free market exchange portrays itself as an ethic that no one or government should hinder in any way.
- The neoliberal doctrine says the contractual relations in the marketplace will encourage higher social well being.
Neoliberalism Mask Neo Mercantilism As Free Trade!
Neo Mercantilism Explained
It is the view of the House of Public Discourse that neoliberalism has brainwashed untold millions across the globe that whatever is suitable for the markets is good for society.
The History of Neoliberalism
Adam Smith |
The results and effectiveness of these factors have been nothing short of the complete devastation of the once vibrate American middle-class. Our research here in the House of Public Discourse uncovered the organization and implementation was a reaction to the embedded liberalism imposed after the Depression and World War II.
This system remained until the 1970s when stagflation took hold.
The Stagflation of the 1970s
The Banks then use this money for loans to foreign governments, and to organize bribes and coos against democratically elected governments in foreign countries. This activity happened in Nicaragua, Iran, Chile, and more recently Iraq, and Libya. [See WarPropaganda an American Tradition!]
The first thing to understand, this money helped install the first case for Neoliberalism.
Pinochet dismantled Congress. Banned all mostly left political parties, installed a military dictatorship and then used the Chicago Boys to install a neoliberal regime.
Milton Friedman's Boys
Monetarism Is One of the Basic Tenants of Neoliberalism.
Regan and Thatcher |
Infiltrating our Institutions
The Neoliberalist did a great job appealing to people's frustrations, fears, and insecurities. They achieved this by centering their message on freedom and liberty. The neoliberal message is that society built on free-market principles, and ownership of private property deserves to be called free.
Free Planning, Regulation, and control are seen as a tax on this freedom and therefore deserve to be abolished. When Reagan and Thatcher took control, this is what precisely happened. With both these neoliberals now in charge of their perspective countries. Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Reagan in the United States in the early 80s. What our research here in the House of Public Discourse found and history never lies a complete dismantling of the social safety nets put into place during the years of embedded liberalism.
We the People, saw mass deregulation in finance and industry take place and substantial tax cuts for the wealthy. There was an all-out assault on workers rights.[See Source]
Regan's showdown with Air-Traffic Controllers Is The House of Public Discourse Evidence In Support.
Capitalism + Privatization + Prison Industrial Complex= Largest Prison Population In The World [See Source]
George Monbiot writes:
"Freedoms from trade unions and collective bargaining mean the freedom to suppress wages, freedom from regulation, to poison rivers, endanger workers, charge iniquitous rates of interest, and design exotic financial instruments. Freedom from tax means freedom from the distribution of wealth that lifts people out of poverty."
Freedom does not exist but for the people who can afford it. [Johnny Hill-House of Public Discourse]
Another critical point, the justification for these neoliberal policies like deregulation of Finance is to create wealth at the top, which will trickle down to the bottom by some invisible hand. If Adam Smith ever got anything right, it was the Invisible Hand. The hand remains invisible to this very day.[Johnny Hill-House of Public Discourse]Trickel-Down Economics does not work; we have a vast history of empirical data to back this proclamation up history never lies wealth is not even being created. The main achievement of Neoliberalism is to redistribute rather than to generate wealth.[See Source]
The neoliberal lie is this redistribution will trickle-down to We the People, when in fact, this redistribution goes upward. There is a term associated with this upward flow of wealth called the "Accumulation by Disposition." Accumulation by Disposition has happened through commodification and privatization of land and the violent removal of peasants in China, debt peonage, and the credit system. Instead of increasing wages and expanding workers rights unions, neoliberalism has created a system which Regan exploited to the fullest this writer knows because he saw it with his own eyes and had the debt to back it up, a system that says " Buy Now, Pay Later."
Personal debt soared under Republican GOD Ronald Regan.
It Is The View of the House of Public Discourse That Reaganomics Proved One Thing: Debt Is The Slavery of The Free.[Johnny Hill-House of Public Discourse]Personal debt has been a critical problem for American's. Debt essentially enslaves people and holds them captive to the neoliberalist future commodity " We the People's" future labor.
International Finance systems only protect the interest of the imperial creditor nations. We had a demonstration of this in 1982 with the Latin America debt crisis. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker radically increased interest rates overnight.[See Source] Mexico defaulted on its loans to the United States setting of a rippling effect across Latin America. Regan, with the help of the IMF, agreed to roll over the debt but only if Mexico agreed to structural adjustments.
Structural Adjustment calls for the same shitty policies mentioned above that do not work — Austerity, Privatization, Deregulation, instead of domestic inequality, we have international inequality.
If we have learned anything from the 2008 crisis, it is that those in power would rather watch the system collapse than give up any of these powers or wealth.
American Politicians Love Socialism When It Is To Their Benefit!
It is the view of the House of Public Discourse that we see this same neoliberal play being executed in Venezuela.
Our research here in the House of Public Discourse has identified a recurring theme with Neoliberalism. Time and time again it is the neoliberal doctrine that espouses limited to no government, however, in practice, we found exceptions and, in fact, encouraged state interventions as long as it serves the interest of capitalism. What we have found in our research is that the role of the neoliberal state is to ensure a pleasant business climate by any means necessary. If democracy needs suppressing to make the free-markets easier that is okay with the neoliberal. The main focus of Neoliberalism is to protect the corporate interest if this means force and violence that is okay with the neoliberalist.Neoliberalism = By Any Coercive Means Needed!
More and more people are starting to catch on to Neoliberalism. It is the view of the House of Public Discourse we must fight against Neoliberalism and the Droops who propagate it.
Part one of this essay goal was to give some background and history of Neoliberalism. Part 2 will cover the many contradictions of Neoliberalism.

The Christian Dilemma
The greatest threat to America, and indeed to the rest of the world, at this point in history, comes from the staunch advocates of right-wing ideology, and I must submit this warning to you: There is a grave problem with the far-right movement, in that; they seem to possess a distorted sense of entitlement. They’ve set themselves apart, and seem to think that their faith gives them the right to view the world from a platitude of conceit, through condescending eyes, and with a false sense of superiority. They believe themselves to be superior beings, with manifest destiny and some strange notion that God is on their side. A people with a desire to conquer, under the false guise of Christianity, seeking to dominate in the name of Christ, their view of humanity being reduced to nothing more than a matter of “us” and “them.”
What they fail to realize is; if the Christ you believe in leads you to view other humans as lesser beings, then you are a follower of the anti-Christ. The ugly truth is; God doesn’t have a religion, and God doesn’t discriminate. Any religion that professes to be the only true religion, or that they‘re unique in the eyes of God preaches false doctrine. If the Spirit of God is right with you, it will only be known by acts of “unconditional” love and charity. No religion can claim exclusive rights to God. He belongs to all that He has created, and to foster a belief in “us,” and “them” is to divide humanity, not unite it.
And so it will be, in The End, that those who have set themselves apart from their fellow man will find that they have set themselves apart from God. The worth of a soul will only be measured by how much it has loved, nothing more, nothing less. Woe to those who have taken the widow’s mite and built castles and empires in His name. They have incurred high accountability; their suffering will be eternal.
Even Jesus will not claim to be Christian, but will only proclaim the glory of the Father. And when He returns, they will shout: "Here we are Lord!" And He will respond: "I never knew you." They have forsaken the Word and have become prisoners of the Numbers.
Those who have put themselves first will be last.

From The Desk of Johnny Hill-House of Public Discourse[Forum]
Right-wing voters are mainly motivated by hate, especially by their hatred for the truth.

The GOP Assault on Social Security!
Republicans want to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other social safety net programs.
What's Going On Here?
6 Times Donald Trump Promised Not to Cut Medicare
OnThe Flip Side
Its got more than 200 co-sponsors meaning it's well on the way to passage before it even gets put up for a vote. The recent hearings to this writer say as much as anything else the crossing of a symbolic barrier. Because as far as the House of Public Discourse knows it hasn't been since Social Security expanded in several ways in the 1950s that we've had the House of Representatives holding serious hearings about expanding Social Security.[See Source]
Dwight D. Eisenhower |
In the 1950s, Social Security was very much part of the political landscape. At the time, President Eisenhower a Republican boasting in 1956 in the Republican Party platform that Social Security benefits should expand or increase to ten million people. [See Source] So what you had was a consensus in support of expanding the program. What our research has discovered is a majority consensus again in favor of expanding Social Security.
