Applecore Baltimore

In any good book there is always a chapter where we dismally push through, because the inevitability of the narrative turning tragic. Narratives that are often mundane tend to become adventurous and positive, or they begin to unravel because of what we call foreshadowing.

Some of the heroes fall in battle, and others find a crisis in faith as it seems that what was once seen as a noble front, seemed to be a fragile cover for what was to become a new dawn of terror.

As we look at American history we see that there have been many instances where the fate of the union is hanging in the balance. We the people have now gone full circle and we have now allowed ourselves to be poorly governed and threatened by an ever looming police state.

It has never been popular to call out the appearance of a militarized police force, but the use of such a broad stroke to enforce the laws is now backfiring and while it is being pushed in the mainstream narrative as a racial blowback, we can say that the apple core is Baltimore because we now see that race and the push for a race war cannot always be applied in an area that the majority is mostly people of color.

Baltimore has a population that is 63.3 % African American, white people consists of 31.6%. The script that the media wants you to buy is that all black communities are powder kegs. That they are all ticking time bombs and that they have no respect for law enforcement, which by the way in Baltimore is over 43 % black and currently, the department is administered by Commissioner Anthony Batts and Deputy Commissioner of Patrol Garnell Green, both of whom are African American.

It is said that the racist activities of the police are waged out of sight. However the landscape in the area is sufficiently militarized by police officers who are armed and dressed in military gear and use military vehicles to intimidate the city.

Monday, when tensions boiled over and young Baltimoreans repeatedly threw rocks at police tanks and cruisers, the scene was eerily reminiscent of the Occupied Territories of the Middle East. Megyn Kelly of Fox News commented that the streets in Baltimore did not look like American streets, which should surprise no one as we have seen the “police state” keep up appearances with tanks and MRAPS that many have commented look more like IDF forces or the Stasi forces from another time in history.

This is America now.

The America we have time and time again warned you about.

It is time to acknowledge some very harsh truths that go beyond race and the beaten narrative that takes the blame away from elected officials and puts it all in the lap of the hired guns.

Public opinion is quick to condone acts of violence committed by government agents and quick to condemn words of protest spoken by private citizens. A militarized police force needs more than superior firepower and storm trooper tactics. Above all, it needs the consent of the majority.

There is no consent of the majority. The militarized police and surveillance state has been given our consent and now individuals feel that the new laws are especially harsh on minorities and the truth is that they are right, however Caucasian citizens need to also acknowledge that they too suffer from these new laws and these types of militarized intimidation.

As I have said over and over again, “Battlefield America” has been established as we have given consent to be governed in this way. We are now a society predisposed to warfare and we no longer show sympathy to the innocents that have died due to police brutality, shootings and government overreach.

No one in the mainstream media will expose this or even pinpoint its cause. Nor will the media attempt to cure the underlying sickness. It will all be perpetuated for the furthering of the police state and the encouragement of the predatory state that America has become. If you do not believe that “Battlefield America” exists, then perhaps you should examine the reports of the human material being sifted out in battlefield-type shootouts in neighborhoods across the country.

New, harsh methods of enforcement are brought on by militarized police who take on a “take no prisoners” attitude in the communities they serve. When we hear the tragic stories in which “overreach” replaces the rule of law, we have to ask ourselves if living in America is as safe and free as we once believed.

John Salter has been quoted as saying that “A government which will turn its tanks upon its people, for any reason, is a government with a taste of blood and a thirst for power and must either be smartly rebuked, or blindly obeyed in deadly fear.”

The truth is that we are being held hostage by a military empire that answers to a corporate state the very definition of fascism.

The only reason that I can think of that we say that America is a champion of human rights and freedom is because we want to pretend as if we have some upper hand or some instant pleasure of declaring a myth as fact.

It is the lie we tell ourselves because we don’t want to believe we have failed and that bumper sticker patriotism is the only Band-Aid we have that keeps us from falling apart.

If you can declare you are awake and still defend the greed, the infliction of pain, the use of military ordinance on citizenry and the urban warfare that is about to take place here, you can hot the snooze alarm and go back to your so called American dream, because with eyes wide open we see the paid, tailor made nightmare.

I have said so many times that America is now turning into a Battlefield complete with militarized police, military personnel getting together for their unconventional urban drills complete with tactics and weaponry.

Certainly talking about the Third Amendment with regard to Jade Helm 15 gets me nowhere because it is far more important to make up some lie about Wal-Mart stores turning into death camps.

That is so easy to do, because hearing that the Constitution’s safeguards against police abuse means nothing when government agents can crash through your door, terrorize your children, shoot your dogs, and jail you on any number of trumped of charges, and you have little say in the matter.

If ever there were a time to de-militarize and de-weaponize police forces, it’s now, starting at the local level, with local governments and citizens reining in local police.

How many communities have to be transformed into military outposts, complete with heavily armed police, military tanks, and “safety” checkpoints before we draw that line in the sand that says “not in our town”?

There’s certainly no shortage of things to be outraged about, starting with this dangerous mindset that continues because the propaganda masters have convinced you that this is a necessity because of the ever present terrorism that sits on our doorstep.

Get a clue America it is not that life has gotten that much more dangerous in America , it’s that authorities have chosen to respond to even innocent situations as if they were in a warzone.

Who is feeding the terror monster in this country? There is money in burning down your city and starting over.

These “high crime areas” are indeed ambiguous and the Supreme Court (most appointed by partisan support) has bestowed extreme political power on how it’s interpreted by each state. These high crime areas are important politically as they define voting and boundary lines and how money gets appropriated for infrastructure, education and jo
“High crime areas” are now ambiguous and the Supreme Court has bestowed extreme political power on how it’s interpreted by each state. These high crime areas are important politically as they define voting and boundary lines and how money gets appropriated for infrastructure, education and jobs. A city may see itself burned to the ground and exploited, but the rewards come to politicians who step up to the plate and throw money at people as a reward for destroying their own cities and allowing the warzone in America to flourish.

It is easy to lose hope when you have human rights delineated on paper but not executed in daily practice.

There are immoral and physically aggressive people everywhere, including despots that oppress the poor, but when races of people are subjugated to these conditions and standards in a very developed country, there is much cause to worry.

Constitutional rights have disappeared, because the rich don’t need rights: they expect to buy the influence they need.

There is no end to the government’s unmitigated hubris in riding roughshod over the rights of the American citizenry, whether in matters of excessive police powers, militarized police, and domestic training drills like Jade Helm 15.

Most conspiracy theorists are waiting with baited breath hoping to say I told you so when the government plans to impose some form of martial law. It is becoming and exercise in futility. We may not even have to see the overturning of Posse Comitatus officially because there are a great consensus of Americans that would feel safer if the armed soldiers started now. The reason is simple, we’re being accustomed to life in a military state.

There are those who claim that we are nowhere near that drastic of measure.

Keep in mind, that in places where the military do enforce the laws, the trains still run on time, the malls still sell things. Burgers and fries can still be eaten at fast food joints, and movie theaters are still packed to see comic book heroes kill aliens and robots.

However, those are just distractions from what is really taking place: the transformation of America into a war zone.
