Manchester: Don't get use to it

   In light of recent events that have taking place in the Britain with the terrorist attack I have to say that I’m shocked at some of the British News Casters and even some of there political leaders who are telling the people that they’ll “just gave to get use to it.” Use to terrorism, use to having children killed, use to living in constant fear. I don’t see how any person part of any society can actually offer that as a solution. If these people really feel that way then they are just as much part of the problem as these terrorists are.

  Every culture has the right to protect itself from annihilation, every culture that includes Europeans. The idea or concept that some people feel contrary or they feel that their culture is not worth saving is one that seems to be probing the minds of many of the youth. It’s ok to have dreams of a borderless, moneyless society but this does not mean you should sacrifice that you are in order to achieve Utopia. If anything you should preserve your own uniqueness while also taking steps to assure that the entire world is on an equal footing. What is happening now is a direct affront to the open world utopian dream that many in Europe and the U.S. seem to want to create. This is a challenge to that dream and if you do nothing but allow these elements to do this sort of petty childishness then your dream, hopes for the future mean nothing because you have condemned the future to misery.

   In my opinion it’s high time that the governments of the world ban together and take car of this problem ounce and for all. Ignoring it wont help the solution that’s a form of condoning. Saying words of sympathy is not enough anymore the people deserve better. These problems are not new they have been around since WW1 but they have never been properly dealt with its time to deal with them or as so many suggest simply live in fear.

  The solution will either come from the government or the people themselves.

  To all the people in Manchester don’t lose hope or sight of what’s really important that life is a beautiful thing to behold and that fear is not an option. If Boston Massachusetts can overcome such tragedy so too can you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Anarchist Note: You are Oppressed

 Anarchism takes on many forms due in part on two facts, the first being it depends on what sort of society the Anarchist is coming from and two it depends on the ultimate goals of said Anarchist. This is why many people outside the movement see Anarchism (are brainwashed) as nothing more than pie in the sky with no clear cut answer. They fail to realize that central governments don't have any answers either but have only hoodwinked the masses into believing that they have the answers and that they are legitimate. Anarchists are the more honest because they know that in order for a non-coercive way of life to be rooted some of the answers will have to come after the revolution or founding of a state or what have you.

 The main problem Anarchist have and have always had is convincing the people that they are oppressed. That they have become reduced to nothing more than commodity buying addicts who are seeing as a subhuman by the Corporate Overlords. Many people believe that renting themselves out for pieces of paper is perfectly fine because this is how it has always been. Even though this is not how it has always been both historically and in parts of the world today. If you think about renting yourself out to work does it make any sense that they tell you how much you are worth? Your pay rate is your worth rate, look at how many people are deemed almost worthless by the various corporations. In the United States the majority people today (2016) are making less money than the average person did in 1985. This shows me at least that from 1985 to now corporations overtime have deemed people to be almost worthless. The average person is giving just enough money to buy some groceries and a few trinkets while they sink more and more in debt. This is done be design not by people making foolish choices.

 Most people are unaware that Corporations and governments spend tons of money on figuring out how to control the masses. This started roughly in the 1950's and has been implemented and working. They figured out that keeping the masses glued to a false idea of life and self worth is the best way to keep the majority in a slumbering state. When we look at our current society we see and hear people talk about the news (nothing more than propaganda) which sports team they are rooting for and what they are going to buy. They have been raise to believe that Materialism and Escapism are the basis for a healthy human life. They are unaware that they have little to no idea of what is really going on in the world, they have no idea that the reason they are giving so many television programs, sports teams, tabloids, and other forms of distraction is to keep them in line with the other slaves. It has worked in booming numbers since the majority of people are no longer able to form an opinion or even think anything other than what they have been told by the media. The average persons attention span is fifteen minutes at the most compared to the three to four hours it was some odd number of years ago. Still convincing people that they have been and continue to be oppressed is hard and it is a minority view, esp in the United States.

 People don't realize is that these big businesses and government's spend lots of money on detaching themselves from the average person. They talk about people as numbers, as tools, and fully convince themselves that they have the right to control the lives of other people. This becomes very clear when you come face to face with these high ups, they are out of sync with the majority not because they are clueless but because they see  everyone who is not them as mere pawns in the game that they have designed. Though one or two crazies may shoot a few people (usually other slaves) they continue to go about business as usual. It is a sad state when you have a whole class of people convinced that the rest of the populations only benefit is to serve them.

 The only way the Anarchists can fight the system is not with outlandish ideas but with constant critiques of the current world, it's social structure, government, corporations that run it, policies that are passed, laws, entertainment, history, basically every level needs to be analyzed in order for the majority of non-Anarchists to see where the nonconformists are coming from. This won't be easy because the government is making it harder and harder to get to real information, making it harder and harder for the voices of justice to be heard. It is unfortunate that as we proceed to move forward real education is going to the wayside.

 I believe that Anarchism can prevail if not in a great number then at least in pocket societies and that's all it really needs in order to survive. Ounce people see that it works, even if it works in a fleeting moment, it will light a spark that will alter the world.

In light of this week

In light of all the events of this week both in the middle-east and in the United States I think it's time that humans wake up and start to look at one another differently. Everything that is happening is due to oppression in one way or another. The Western World has been oppressing the Middle-East since 1941 in a most severe way by forcing imaginary boundaries that did not exist, breaking treatise, among other aspects. The so-called black people of the United States have been subjected to oppression and dehumanization for 200 odd years almost on a daily. You cannot be the cause of so much pain in the world and not expect some sort of Karma. The United States is responsible for much of the pain in the world and yet somehow we believe we will escape what we have put forth. That's not how it works.
I would like to add that racism has been used to divide people in the United States so that the Elite who should be the real targets of our anger, along with the politicians, can live in peace while we fight among ourselves. Many times it's a class issue of course the so-called Black People were for the most part kept down in order to make this point obscured. The only reason why the rich and politicians are giving lip service to the death of these cops isn't because they care but they know ounce people are no longer afraid to kill cops then they are next on the chopping block. Now before you get angry with me wait, I'm not condoning the murder of cops, just like I don't condone the murder of anyone but I also so the reality of the situation.
If you want to live in peace then you have to make that peace and the first step is seeing one another as human. Start by looking at one another as human.
May Allah bless those and keep those innocent people who were wrongfully murdered. And May Allah show us the straight way the way of tranquility in this life and in the hereafter.

Engrained to the core

The other day I was watching some videos about what white people say to Black, Asian, and other minority groups only it had the minority person saying it to the white person. I found it both hilarious and yet thought provoking because everything they where saying is one percent true but it also showed how white people feel no shame in saying things such as is that your natural hair, I don’t think of you as black or you’re Asian so you must be good at math. Only by seeing it from their perspective did I truly get a sense of what they must go through on a daily basis. It also proved that white people are so engrained with white elitism that it comes out in every day language. Even the most well-intentioned white person will without knowing it will fall pray to saying the most condescending and racist things without ever batting an eye. I myself am even guilty and I have had intimate relationships with people of other colors.

So the question must be asked why are white people so blind and dumb? The answer is simple the entire playing field is in our favor. Anything that does not meet our expectations we deem it our right to ask anything and everything and by doing so the white mind believes it is uplifting the person of color to a better understanding. The white mind will validate the minorities they deem worthy of befriending by comparing them to white people or saying that they are closer to white and making skin tone jokes about them being part minority because on a sub conscious level they have been brainwashed to think this behavior is not only natural but a perfect right. So they never see themselves as being part of the problem when in reality they are worse than those who burn crosses and wear sheets. Just because you have friends of different colors and have intimate relations does not mean you are not racist it just means you are blind to the fact that you are. White people should always be questioning their motives to see if they are legit.

Not only is this non-aggressive form of racism taught it is accepted by and large by the world and therefore goes mostly unchecked. The reason why is because even those of color are taught to tolerate this form of racism because it is non-aggressive in nature. They have learned to simply answer the insults as if it is legit conversation or simply roll there eyes and quickly change the subject.

The worst part about white racism is that it is self-deflecting meaning if they are called out as racist they will simply say that they are not without hearing what the person of color has to say or if a person of color brings up the race issue they will simply say in a point of fact matter that the person of color is the true racist one. This proves how disconnected white people are from the reality of the society that they inherited and continue to create.

Every white person within the United States needs to seriously look at themselves and the country that they live in and ask with all honesty if it’s as good for everyone as they deem it to be. Is racism really dead or has it simply taking on a new face? What can every white person do to change it? I would say admitting it and recognizing it is the first step towards getting rid of the problem.

I wish I had more to say at this time but I don’t hopefully in the near future I will be able to write more after long hours of soul searching and reflection.
