USA - A House Divided Against Itself

Occupy Wall Street Wikileaks Truck Confiscated, Possibly Lost By NYPD

---------------------------

MY TAKE

Normally movies are made from fiction, now the OWS is the reality that appears as fiction.

We are helping the Libyans, and everyone who wants freedom, to be free, while repression is right in our own kitchen; NY City of all places—in the city where United Nations headquarters is.

With what face can Hillary Clinton tell the Chinese or the Iranians or the Koreans to give their people the right to free speech, when Hillary Clinton’s home state is harassing peaceful protesters? Demonstrators have more respect-proportionally in Egypt than in the USA.

Jesus Said over 2,000 years ago that “A house dived against itself will not stand.” However, in space age, in the most sophisticated country in the world, the government has not given heed, to that so true phrase.

Our government is making a mockery of the American fundamental right –freedom of speech—the right to assemble. Without the first Amendment there in no USA. Freedom of Speech is what makes America the most desired country on the Earth.

However, the simultaneous crackdown on OW seems to be a national coordinated effort to destroy the 1st Amendment, because it threatens the evilness in capitalism.
Worse, yet: If the NYPD has no idea where their confiscated material is, then it starts to sound like in dictatorship countries where the secrete police causes things to disappear and nobody can retrieve anything.

We had a cold war, with the Soviet Union, but now we are adapting their strategies. Unless we get to the voting both with a firm decision to get every-crook out, and replace them with a new batch who might want to respect our sacred constitution, we may as well claim the status of third Rome.

My Comment

Caucasians will not be stopped by profiling. But look at the harassment for the people with darker skin, kinky hair and non English accents. The lawyers must be jumping with joy for the next round of big business.

The SS will say “Prove to me that you are here legally—if no ID? I will book you. Meanwhile, as the proud Texans are doing: If you are or become a slave, I mean a maid or a grass cutter or yard cleaner, anybody doing servile work, I will let you go. After all, I don’t want to do that when I get home. So you are OK, it is convenient to me—a defined two class system.

However, if we look at the long term cultural implication, preventing Latinos from coming uncontrolled into the USA, is the only way that America will remain America. Otherwise we will become Americana.

It would not be wrong with having the majority of Americans being Latinos, as it will be in another three decades. If Latinos come in waves, they will not be Americanized, rather we will be Latinized. The English language will change significantly, the thinking process will change, corruption will prevail. That is not to say that the English culture does not have its own share of corruption; it does.

Let’s look at Mexico and the other Latino Countries and even Puerto Rico and Brazil. In these cultures, making an exception to the law is common practice—dishonesty generally is seen as heroism; yet, there are many honest and nice people within the Latinos.

The bottom line is we need to have some control over our own culture and language. If our language goes, our culture goes, we will cease to be what we are.

I am not being racist. My native language is Portuguese, and I am fluent in Spanish. I lived among all three cultures, I see it from the inside out.

The USA needs to preserve English as the national language. Being obedient to the law is a duty. America needs to remain America. Love it or leave it.
