A couple of months ago, I wrote an article titled “So Much Badness”. Little did I know that the badness would only get worse. The lawlessness of our federal government is mindboggling. Then, the blizzard of lies to justify the unjustifiable. If you are a moral American, America seems to be completely rotten.
Well, the White House has posted a racist video of apes. The apes’ faces have been replaced with those of Michelle and Barack Obama. This is no accident. Trump is a control freak. Whoever posted the video did so with full knowledge of Donald J. Trump. We know that Trump is a racist. This is not open for debate. Following outrage from both the Left and the Right, the video was removed. I suspect that Trump wanted this uproar. He wanted this spectacle as a distraction from the Epstein files (see below) and his terrible performance on the economy. I don’t think that we needed further proof that Trump is a racist. We have known this for decades.
Thank God for Video
If it weren’t for video, we would have had to believe the government narrative. We were told that Renée Good tried to kill an ICE officer with her car, and he defended himself by shooting her at point-blank range. We were told that Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist and was trying to harm ICE agents. The ICE agents were just defending themselves when they shot him in the back multiple times.
But the video tells a completely different story. Renée Good seems to have been trying to comply with ICE commands by moving her car out of the middle of the street when an ICE agent shot her. The worst part of the whole ordeal is that ICE didn’t provide any CPR, and they prevented a doctor who was a bystander from rendering aid.
Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse—a dedicated caregiver who worked at the Veterans Administration hospital, caring for soldiers and patriots who served their country. At the demonstration in Minneapolis, he seemed to be protecting a woman who was being pushed around—and allegedly tear-gassed—by ICE. For his trouble, he got pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground. He told the ICE agents that he had a registered, licensed concealed weapon. One ICE agent took his gun. Another agent walked around Pretti, who was lying face down on the concrete. He was then shot and killed by the ICE agent. He wasn’t a threat to anyone. He was disarmed and on the ground. Several agents had him pinned down. He wasn’t fighting back. Another agent fired several bullets into Pretti while he was lying on the ground bleeding. Once again, no one tried to render aid.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that America has been shocked and outraged by these killings. This reaction may be similar to what happened after the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, in September 1963, which killed four Black girls. Or the use of attack dogs on peaceful marchers across the Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, in March 1965. Following these attacks, America was shaken out of its indifference to the civil rights movement. Now, in Minneapolis, two white Americans were murdered for no reason, and America saw it all because of cellphone video.
