Economic Development is the Answer to Hispanic Prosperity

Hispanic Economic Development

Instead of focusing on race or entitlement we to focus on economic development of our Community. What's hurting our people is lack of economic opportunities and the lack of education. What are we doing that's different or better yet what are not doing? Our Hispanic Community is hurting and I'm aware we have social issues that needs to be addressed but by demonizing White and Black people isn't the answer it's counterproductive and we can only blame ourselves for our own failures and our failure is not getting an education, studying is important and it should be priority #1 more then having a good time or partying. We need to save money, invest in our children, our families and our Communities. We need to keep the money in our community not taking it out and work together with each other in order to make our community grow. You make the community grow by investing in the people and the people gain the tools and methods to better themselves but it can be done by caring about our people if you don't care for your own people how do we expect others to care for our own or to be taken seriously. Think about it before you buy the six pack of beer, pack of cigarettes or blunts or on things we don't need think how will it benefit our children? Our community? Ourselves? Think before you waste your dollar on useless things you don't need.

My Experience with the Jewish Community of Los Angeles

 My Experience with the Jewish Community of Los Angeles 

Enrique Sanchez 

February 19, 2021 - Jewish Year 5781 

My name is Enrique Manuel Sanchez Belfort Bennet, my Hebrew Name is Yaacob Ben Yosef, I Am Puerto Rican/Guatemalan of Sephardic Jewish Heritage, Like many Hispanic Jews I didn't grow up in an Observant home, I was circumcised on the eighth day and I did learn the Bible and the Commandments as a child I never went to Synagogue nor did I live near a Jewish Community. I didn't get exposed to a Jewish Community or Jewish People until I was in my College years, when I moved back to California in 2010 I was looking for a sense of community a sense of belonging. 

I got acquittanced through a Conservative/Masorti Synagogue where I was a part of for two years and then I moved out of the area to another suburb where there was no community but there was one Synagogue which was Reform I was there for a year but I didn't feel there was any spirituality it was more of a Country Club for rich people so I left. I became a Baal Teshuvah and became an "Observant Jew". I started wearing a Kippah at all times, Tzittzit and kept Kosher and Shabbat. 

I found a Persian Community where I was a part of for many years I would go out of my to get there because there was no other way for me to attend Services, I would pray and read Torah at home, don Teffilin and pray there times a day but would go to Synagogue on Shabbat I would pray, study and fellowship with other Jews. The first few years were beautiful because I finally found my place I felt I found a community, I had made friends was active and took part of Minyans and was called to the Bimah to read from the Torah I was even considering in becoming a Rabbi. 

Fast forward to 2015 I went through some personal things in my life and in 2016 I had lost my faith but I still considered myself Jewish and Observant but I felt it wasn't the same anymore I felt out of place, I didn't feel welcomed as before and I felt that I was constantly being watched by people in different Synagogues I would visit, I had many people treat me badly, many judged me they would integrate me and ask me too many personal questions if I was Jewish and even with documentation and people that knew me that I was Jewish many people doubted my Jewishness, simply because I was Hispanic, Sephardic, Poor and Olive Complexed. 

The final straw came in June 2019 in Tarzana, I was in the lobby of this Synagogue reading the Siddur and this Rabbi who never seen me before came up to me and my mother and asked me who were, why we were there and he told us to leave he was very aggressive, rude and disrespectful he made some excuse that someone vandalized the Mezuzah at the entrance which was a huge one made out of silver, I said to the Rabbi that had nothing to do with us we weren't there but he was very unethical, unprofessional and not having Emunah I was very offended by his behavior and I decided to leave with my mother. 

After Shabbat during the week I contacted the Beit Din of Los Angeles I made a formal complaint and reported the Rabbi for his racist and discriminatory behavior towards my character, they took the information put in on record and they told me they would contact that Rabbi in Tarzana to resolve the dispute among the Dayan it never happened. The following day I called the Synagogue and spoke with the secretary and the secretary put me through the board of directors I spoke with the director for about an hour I told her how I felt and I said I had contacted the Beit Din and made a compliant against the Rabbi in question for his behavior, I told her I demand a formal apology from the Rabbi and if I get the apology within a timeframe I would accept it and move on and not bother them again, however if the Rabbi refused to make an apology to me and my mother we were prepared to look into taking legal action against the Rabbi and Synagogue for Racial Discrimination. 

The Director was very apologetic and she said there may have been a misunderstanding and that the Rabbi meant no disrespect or harm to us and I said regardless of how he viewed us there are protocol in dealing with visitors and Rabbi is suppose to welcome visitors even if they don't like them its not his job to harass people let alone be rude to them I said the Rabbi needs to be retrained on proper etiquette and manners. Nothing came of the complaint nothing was done and the Rabbi never contacted me to make an apology. I couldn't deal with it anymore one thing is congregants not being friendly or welcoming but for a Rabbi to behave in that matter the way he did was unforgivable and disgusting I went off the derech and I never went to Synagogue again. I got tired of the racism, discrimination, xenophobia, elitism, materailsim and ungodliness among the Jewish Community in Los Angeles, they have forgotten about Hashem, Torah, Emunah, Misvot and Tikkun Olam which are the fundamental doctrines of Judaism its like American Jews have made Judaism into an Elitist Social Club that you have to be born into or be rich and they are not inclusive but exclusive, unfortunately because of that negative attitude they have towards not of their social status is why Anti-Semitism is out of control. Hispanic Jews get abused, expolited, humilated and ridiculed by the Jewish Community because we are seen as either Converts or Phonies that want to be Jewish and its disgusting and its immoral Spanish Jews have a 800 year history that's very rich in culture, customs and traditions unfortunately because Spanish/Hispanic Jews lack econmonic power we also lack political power and prominent people think they can get away with abusing Hispanic Jews and conitnue to get away with it.

Latin America & Eastern Europe

 

What can Latin America learn from Eastern Europe?

Eastern Europe; when people think of Eastern Europe images of the Soviet Union's satellite nations after WW2, Communist Bloc, Iron Curtain etc. But what Eastern Europe comes to mind is industrialisation, compulsory education and vocational training for it's people. Regardless of what part of the political spectrum you are one thing for certain is Eastern Europe and Eastern Europeans are far more educated than Latin Americans and they have an advantage because they are educated or have skilled labor. 

Latin Americans need to study different models for development and see how they can implement it to it's people because compared to other regions of the world Latin America still lags behind second only to Sub-Saharan Africa. Eastern Europe is what's also called the Second World which is between First and Third World and there is a lot to be learned from Eastern Europe. Latin Americans can look at the system and see their strength and weaknesses and correct past mistakes and follow in areas where they have succeed Latin America can reach the same level of education, skills and development as Eastern Europe but it won't happen overnight it takes discipline, dedication and most of all ambition to become developed and industrialized. 

The failures of the American system and the cronyism of the Elitists in Latin America has created more income Inequality and no improvements in living standards, wages or education and it's hurting the people more than anything it's a trend that Latin America cannot continue because it will lead to instability and social unrest and that can lead to either Communism or Fascism. 

The only way Hispanics can be self-sufficient and self-reliant is through financial independence and through education and vocational training in order to get the skills they need to compete in the job market and to tap into the economic grid that's our way to having a better future for our people.

Bitcoin: Currency of the future or a gateway to destruction?

Bitcoin: Decentralized Digital Currency of the future, is it sustainable? 

There is a lot of conversation about becoming a cashless society, technology has evolved so much in the last 40 years that there are about replacing cash with digital currency Bitcon. What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is used as a form of payment which is the same as cash but is also an asset that people use to invest and sell and accumulate wealth. For many Fiscally Libertarians this is a dream come true because it eliminates the banks which functions as a third party between people, Bitcoin isn't regulated by any government entity and people can keep whatever profit they receive from transactions. There are pros and cons, the pros are people can maximize profits, buying and selling in high amounts and 100% autonomy meaning the person cannot be traced, the cons, since it cannot be traced you don't know whom you're dealing with, there is no regulation and if you lose money FDIC doesn't apply because Bitcoin isn't covered under the FDIC rules. 

Bitcoin is violate meaning it can go up or down at any given time so it isn't a 100% stable, is it sustainable? If our society becomes completely cashless we aren't protected by laws that are meant to protect people from financial crimes or from money laundering, fraud, grand larceny and Ponzi schemes because there is no monitary oversight. I believe Bitcoin can used as another source of payment and assets but not as unregulated system there needs to be regulation and taxes and oversight because when there is no accountability it opens a doorway to the criminal underworld whom the majority are Bitcoin users especially on the Dark Web which is a very scary evil place.

Libertarianism and Psychopathy

Libertarianism and Psychopathy; The common denominator. 

In a capitalist society or system people are pressured to make money and consume everything there is to comform to society's standard of happiness and satisfaction. Where does Libertarianism fit in this instance? For example Libertarianism gives the illusion of self reliance and being non-interventionist; I;e small government, deregulation, demantling government and abolishing taxes, this may seem like a wonderful concept but in reality it's extremely dangerous. Libertarianism lacks empathy, compassion, morals, ethical values and reinforces greed. Libertarians believe that everything should be decriminalized, they believe the age of consent should be abolished, they believe there shouldn't be civil rights laws, they don't believe in protecting the environment, workers, children, people etc, it's very selfish, self-centered, arrogant, conceited and it's unsustainable. 

Criminals, Murderers, Pedophiles, Drug Cartels and people with mental Illness and personality disorders are attracted to Libertarianism because it exempts them from accountability and personal responsibility believing they are their own god whom they can make their own rules without any consequences for their actions prime examples are John McAfee, Jeffery Epstein, Donald Trump, Ghalisine Maxwell, Harvey Weinstein, Koch Brothers to name a few. 

As imperfect as government is you need some form of regulation and rules in order to prevent anarchy and crony capitalism like we have today in many parts of America and other parts of the world. Libertarianism shares similarities between Conservative and Liberal ideals except that Libertarians don't care about social issues and they believe in maximizing their profits by any means no matter how unethical or immoral it may be. Most Libertarians I've met in my lifetime seem to share many mental Illnesses, personality disorders, grandiosity complex, complete disregard for others and wanting to be their own god or having authoritarian leanings. That's why I tend to shun or not associate with Libertarians because many not all share many characteristics of psychopath/sociopaths.

Economic Migrants vs Refugees

 Economic Migrants vs Refugees

What's the difference? The difference is Economic Migrants emigrate to other countries primarily out of economic necessity and many face many barriers and in many cases can't move up the economic leader. 

Refugees are people that have been forced to leave their homes due to war or famine and get political asylum, but the main difference is Refugees are given many incentives, resources, free education, subsided housing and money to start over and they are put in front of the line so they have an advantage over Economic Migrants. 

Sadly Hispanics from Latin America fall under the category of economic migrants and they face more barriers to getting education, good jobs or housing while refugees like Palestinians for example they are given preference because they are fleeing war, oppression and political repression and as with any group of people that are refugees they will always have an advantage over economic migrants. That's why the American Dream only reaches some people but not others and only 1 in 10 get it meaning the other 9 don't attain it.

America's Obsession With Work

 

Work is Killing Us 

We have been conditioned from the time we are little till the time we graduate out of High School; "Go to School, Work Hard and You'll be Rewarded" etc etc It has done the opposite, we are less happy, more broke, our life expectancy has gone down and our health has decline what are we doing wrong? 

The problem we have is that we are obsessed with work and wanting more and having more and whatever we have isn't enough we have to go get more to the point that we neglect our families, ourselves and our health. 

We have become so cynical that we believe working one job isn't enough we have to work 2 or 3 jobs and if we don't work enough we get criticized and ostracized if don't have work and we are taught to demonize the unemployed and to glorify the rich. 

The American Dream no longer exist, sadly its a myth of a bygone era, we are working more hours and less pay than our parents did and job security no longer exist, the time of having a good decent paying job, a living wage, benefits and a unionized job is a thing of the past. Corporations have taken over thing from our jobs, to the way we live and work to how we eat and sleep. Workers no longer have rights like they did 50 years ago. We have gone from being an industrial   economy to a services economy in less than 40 years? How is that possible? When everything started to go corporate in the 1970s many corporations did away and dismantled unions that protected workers and advocated for their wages, safety and benefits to becoming slave masters and servants. There is no company loyalty anymore with the workers so they don't worker as hard because they can be easily displaced like they are a number not a person. 

Unless we change our values system and not be so focused and obsessed with work people will be dropping dead, families will fall apart, our health will continue to decline and we will still be broke no matter how many jobs we have and the world from the outside will continue to look at us with pity, displeasure and disgust. 

AOC: Conservatives Biggest Nightmare

Republicans and Libertarians's Public Enemy #1

Alexandria Ocassio Cortez is a Democratic Socialist that has become very influential in Washington D.C. in the matter of a few years. She is most powerful Hispanic Woman in government today and she is making an impact in many ways and she is isn't taking any prisoners. As a Democratic Socialist she is working hard to transform the country from a Federal Republic into a Social Democracy that exist in other developed countries. She fought against established politicians and has gained the respect of the people and her constituents and she is a popular leader and she is breaking barriers.   

The United States is the only developed country that doesn't have universal healthcare, living wages, maternity paid leave, tuition free education or a 40 hour work week. Republicans and Libertarians don't like because because she wants to create bigger government and make corporations accountable and take money out of politics and to tax the wealthy who pay little to no taxes and to close loophole offshore accounts where most wealthy hide their money. 

She is a advocate for Hispanic Rights, she is for DACA and for immigrants rights, for rent control and for debt forgiveness for College Students, police reform and to increase spending into social services and for housing, education and medical services. She is against government waste and funding things we don't need and to have more accountability and to remove corruption from Washington. 

There needs to be accountability and to regain the public trust which as been lacking for many years and people are slowly waking people and realizing that the status quo isn't working and its hurting working class people and minorities. Change isn't going to happen overnight it will take time and a lot of work but its going to get there people need to stop voting against their own interests and vote for the common good for everyone not just for a select few which has been a problem for a long time where special interest groups have been reigning supreme for a long time and that's why they are against bigger government because if the government has more control corporations can't bribe or buy politicians like they are doing now. 

COVID-19 Has Proven We Aren't Invisible

We Are Not Invisible 

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown to us nobody is invisible not even the government or the Ultra Rich. People are realizing that voting Republican and Conservative hasn't worked and they have hurt their own people that vote against their own interests. The Republican Party doesn't care about the poor, the mentally or people that are risk, they are against a social safety net and protecting workers and giving people a living wage so they don't have to work 3 jobs just to get by and cover their basic necessities. Americans need to realize they have been shooting themselves in the foot and hurting themselves by believing in myths such as American Exceptionalism, Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny what did that get us? Nowhere except hatred of the world and creating more enemies and letting it's population starve. 

We need to abolish the two party system and create a multi-party system and invest in social services, infrastructure, education, health and to address the opiate crisis and mental illness crisis that we have because nobody is doing it and its affecting our economy, families and society as a whole. Enough of the politics we need change, transparency and accountability and to punish the billionaires and get them out of politics permanently and to tax the churches and to protect the environment.

Tibet and Xiangiang

Dalai Lama & Rebiya Kadeer: Separatism At It's Finest.
Dalai Lama and Rebiya Kadeer, are separatist leaders of the Tibetan Government in Exile and the East Turkestan independence movement. The 14th Dalai Lama is venerated by the Hollywood Elite and Rich Liberals and a symbol of Buddhist spirituality and advocating total independence for Tibet. The Dalai Lama represented a feudal system where he was worshiped as a god and the Buddhist Aristocracy had complete power over the people. There was serfdom and people lived in extreme poverty and ignorance if anyone broke the rules people were tortured, mutilated and decapitated. When the Chinese Red Army invaded Tibet to restore Chinese rule, the feudal system was abolished, serfdom was abolished and land and commerce was reorganized. 

Rebiya Kadeer became a billionaire by taking advantage of the economic reforms that were instituted by Deng Xiaoping. The Uyghur people started to prosper by revenues from the oil and natural gas reserves and became wealthier and having more personal and religious freedoms. Prior to the establishment of the PRC in 1949, Xiangiang or Chinese Turkisan was a feudal society ruled by Muslim Warlords who became rich by collaborating with both the Kuomintang and the Japanese and Russians and owned all the land and livestock, the Chinese ended polygamy, emancipated women, introduced secular education and built schools, hospitals, roads and improved infrastructure. 

Many Uyghur Separatists have ties to Islamic Extremist groups such as ISIS, Al Qaida and have been involved in terrorist activities in Xiangiang, Iraq, Syria and against Chinese embassies in other countries, the Dalai Lama has been supported by the CIA and has taken millions of U.S. tax payer dollars and was involved in arming and aiding Tibetan Guerillas during the 1960s. 


These are not good people they are agents of the west and they could care less about the people but wanting to bring back the outdated system and both Tibetans and Ugyhurs in China don't seek independence, they wish to remain under Chinese rule and have their prosperity and have no desire to return to the old feudal system.

Republicans Losing Power

GOP Is On Life Support Will They Survive As A Political Party?

The Republicans will be voted out of office and the GOP will self-destruct, the Republicans have committed suicide having Trump as their leader and has taken over the party. It's no longer the Party of Lincoln it's the Party of Trump and it will cost them the election. The Republicans have been exposed as Racists, Fascists, Far Right Extremists and Christian Fundamentalists that don't care about people that's why we are having these riots and protests to begin with. 

I repeat the Republicans don't care about values, morals or looking after its citizens they only care about money, power and dominance and dominating people that cannot defend themselves has boiled over to the people's frustrations over the corruption of the GOP wanting to have control over people's personal freedoms and freedom to choose and wanting to use Hispanics, Muslims and others as their scapegoat, similar to how Hitler, Mussolini and Franco seized power by demonizing intellectuals, free thinkers and those that question religion, capitalism and White Supremacy. 

Until Trump is voted out and Republicans made accountable for the chaos, mayhem and destruction they've created for the last 4 years the people's anger will grow even more. Dear Republicans if you don't want people to hate you stop outsourcing overseas, give people living wages where people can live and not 5 jobs just to get buy, stop giving tax cuts and tax breaks to the wealthy who lack integrity and morals, stop pandering to the Christian Right and to Christian Fundamentalism that's why there's a wall of separation between church and state. Thanks to Trump the party's future is in dire straits and many Traditional Republicans are leaving in the droves you're making the Conservatives look very bad.

Ron Paul tied to White Supremacist Don Black

Republican and Libertarian Connection to White Nationalism

Ronald Ernest Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American author, physician, and retired politician who served as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 22nd congressional district from 1976 to 1977 and again from 1979 to 1985, and for Texas's 14th congressional district from 1997 to 2013. On three occasions, he sought the presidency of the United States: as the Libertarian Party nominee in 1988 and as a candidate in the Republican primaries of 2008 and 2012. Paul is a critic of the federal government's fiscal policies, especially the existence of the Federal Reserve and the tax policy, as well as the military–industrial complex, and the War on Drugs. He has also been a vocal critic of mass surveillance policies such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the NSA surveillance programs. He was the first chairman of the conservative PAC Citizens for a Sound Economy[3] and has been characterized as the "intellectual godfather" of the Tea Party movement.[4][5]

 Don Black[5] (born July 28, 1953) is an American white supremacist.[6][7] He is the founder and webmaster of the anti-Semitic, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, Holocaust denial and racist Stormfront Internet forum.[8][9][10][11] He was a Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and a member of the American Nazi Party in the 1970s,[12][13] though at the time he was a member it was known as the 'National Socialist White Peoples' Party'.[14] He was convicted in 1981 of attempting an armed overthrow of the government in the island of Dominica in violation of the U.S. Neutrality Act.[15][16

Why is Ron Paul both a Republican and Libertarian seen and friends with Don Black? The founder of Storefront, a White Supremacist Forum and a convicted felon and terrorist that aided the overthrow of the government of Granada in 1984? Hmmmmm

Hong Kongers Need To Resolve Their Own Affairs

Britain vs. China The Future of Hong Kong

I believe British Prime Minister Boris Johnson might lose support at home over changing the law to allow 3 Million Hong Kongers into the United Kingdom. 

Before Britain returned Hong Kong to China the British passed a bill into law called the British Nationality Act, which prevented Hong Kongers from acquiring British Citizenship. I don't think Hong Kongers should go to Britain they need to resolve their own internal affairs with China. If they don't want to be in Hong Kong they can always go to Taiwan, Taiwan and Hong Kong speak the same language, they are the same people and culture Taiwan would gladly take them in and has offered to accept Hong Kong people. 

Each country needs to look after their own citizens first and I think its wrong for Boris Johnson to amend the law to allow Hong Kongers in, it's not Britain's problem it's China's problem let the Chinese resolve their internal affairs.

Revolution Is In The Air

Desire For A Social Democracy

I don't condemn violence or vandalism but for people that don't have power or the economic means to stand up for themselves or go through the legal process, rioting is the only way will be heard. Hooliganism is the voice of the voiceless and it's through civil unrest and protests is how revolutions start and changes happen for the people. Donald Trump has shifted the country towards Fascism and Despotism and singling out groups of people he doesn't like; Hispanics, Muslims. Chinese, Liberals etc and blames them for the countries woes and the American People buy into it. 

Believe me if people had means or a way to get an education, receive vocational training or not be discriminated against for employment wouldn't be having these massive protests.  Instead of blaming the rioters why not blame and look at the rich people that abuse the system and evade paying taxes by hiding their assets overseas in offshore accounts. Greedy landlords that forcefully evict tenants because they want more money by rising the rents for profits, corrupted politicians and lawyers who bribe judges in courts in order to get away from being punished to fullest extent of the law. 

I believe the protests will lead into the creation of a egalitarian society, abolishment of the Corporate Class and Corporations and the establishment of a Social Democracy.

Rich People Are Destroying Lives Through Greed

The Rich Need To Be Held Accountable For Their Actions And Punished To Fullest Extent of The Law.

They say "The One With The Gold Makes The Rules" That is so true in many ways, the powers to be make rules and laws and enforce them on others but who is watching those who are in power? That is a common problem in many countries especially in the developing world people of means and power are exempt from persecution because they can buy and bribe judges and heads of states in order to get away with crimes or get special favors. 

In a increasingly corporate world the wealthy and powerful can influence lawmakers and politicians and judges in getting them to grant them favors or contracts at the expense of the public. More white collar criminals get away with more crimes then petty criminals and many times with little to no jail time. Why is it that the law applies to some people and not to others? Why is it that a rich person is treated differently than a poor person for the same crime?  As a society we cannot overlook those with money or allow them to receive treatment for being wealthy and connected we cannot partiality. 

This is why our citizens do not trust the courts or the justice system because unfortunately there is no impartiality and those without means don't get a fair trial or get due process and have a higher chance of getting convicted while those with means get a lesser sentence or simply get acquitted altogether when accused of the same crime.

There needs to be a special committee or watch dog to make sure that those in power are held accountable and cannot be bribed by those who think they are above the law. If we continue to let the rich get away with crimes and not punish them accordingly then the integrity of the Rule of Law becomes blurred we become a plutocracy ruled and controlled by Oligarchs.

Riots are the Catalyst to something deeper within American Society.

2020 has been one interesting year, we begin the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq, the Coronavirus Pandemic and the recent shootings of African American Men by White Police im the United States. 

This is nothing new there have been race riots before from the Watts Riots of the 1960s to the Los Angeles of 1992 but never has there been massive and organized protests, riots and mass civil disobedience that has paralyzed an already weak economy due to the Coronavirus Outbreak and the Trade War with China.

Why has the death of one African American Man at the hands of police triggered such a massive response the whole country is in chaos? The murder of George Floyd transcends beyond race and it boils down to economic inequality and disenfranchisement for many decades and being able to participate fully in the economy. The Middle Class that was the backbone of our country and economy has almost disappeared and shrunk to what it was previously decades ago. 

Many Americans have seen their savings, assets and income plummet overnight and there seems to be no social safety net to protect the most vulnerable of society. Corporations have continued to maximize their profits while paying little to nothing in taxes, many have under reported their income earnings and many have hid their income and assets in offshore accounts in order to escape paying taxes. The Criminal Justice System has decayed from within and people's justice can be bought by the highest bidder and many wealthy people get away with many horrible and appalling crimes from murder to child molestation to Tax Evasion. 

The United States has shifted more from a democracy towards despotism and merging between Corporations and the State. Little by little Corporations have dismantled unions, decreased salaries, workers work more hours, limiting benefits or removing them altogether and no job security and pensions for workers when they get older. 

Black and Brown people have been the most affected by State Corporatism and Crony Capitalism along with other institutional problems which makes it more difficult for them to provide for themselves and their families. Lack of educational and vocational opportunities makes it even harder for Black and Brown People to complete with Whites and Asians especially immigrants from India, China, Korea whom for the most part are highly educated and highly skilled getting the best jobs, best housing and a higher income, which causes animosity and resentment.

There needs to be oversight and accountability of the police when they do wrong and to be punished and removed from the police force and to raise the standards on how we recruit new officers and a creation of a data base to keep a record on police officers who don't follow the rules and a stricter background check. In order to prevent further abuses there needs to be community trust of the police and to have the public's respect and have an understanding of each communities needs not all communities are the same.

Shoah Remembrance

The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[b]was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.[a][c] The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination through work in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz, Bełżec, Chełmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka in occupied Poland.[5]

The Holocaust has shown us that the frustrations of the majority are allowed to flourish and not addressed immediately it can create a lot of destruction on others whom the Majority loathes. 

It was a very dark time in the 20th century where 6 million Eastern European Jews were systematically killed by Nazi Germany through state sponsored terrorism and genocide and another 11 million died as well; Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, Slavs, Communists, Liberals, Homosexuals, Mentally and Physically Disabled etc. 

We have to work hard to ensure that nothing like this happens again not just in other parts of the world but in the United States. Donald Trump has become in many ways the new Furher of the Fourth Reich here in the United States. He's using the mass media, using the Christian Right and taking over the Republican Party and transforming it into the Party of Trump. Instead of Jews being demonized its Hispanics, Muslims, Liberals, Gays, Critics of Trump and the Republican Party whom he has called as enemies of the state and feeding on the frustrations of the majority of Americans to have hatred and anger towards these groups where its gotten very dangerous in many parts of the country. 

I pray that our democratic institutions learn from the past and not repeat the same mistakes from the past. When Fascism is allowed to grow it creates destruction in its path and nobody is spared.

Manifest Destiny Must Go Away

Washington Continues To Create Enemies

Three people that Washington hated; Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, Fidel Castro of Cuba & Pedro Albizu Campos of Puerto Rico. What the three leaders had in common is that they stood up to American Imperialism and wanted independence for their people. 

Iran was under the influence of Washington and London through their proxy puppet the Shah, Cuba under Bastista and Puerto Rico under U.S. Military Governors prior to the creation of the Commonwealth by Puerto Rico's first democratically elected leader Luis Munoz Marin. 

What Americans fail to understand and realize is when they interfere in the personal affairs of other countries it usually backfires and causes hatred and distrust by the people of those sovereign countries. The United States government has no right to dictate to other countries what to do let alone try to assassinate, overthrow or influence the Democratic institutions of the countries. Let the people of those countries decide for themselves who they want to elect to represent them and allow democratic institutions to grow in order for those countries to prosper and create living wages, a good standard of living and a good quality of life.
