Words of Truth

With the help of the government, the Coronavius is destroying the United States of America.

Without question, considering the devastating impact the virus was expected to deliver to our nation, a bold, intelligently implemented plan was unfortunately needed.

America has cooperated in stunning fashion, particularly in the way they have relinquished, temporarily, our rights and freedom.

America is winning the health battle, but is now losing handily the economic part of this war. And that has got to stop. NOW!

It is time to move beyond the myopic view of health being the only factor dictating our actions.  We need to consider the economic ramifications, which are staggering. If we don't reopen right quick, we may pass the point of now return.

I have empathy and compassion for those impacted by this invisible enemy, but as an old friend, Lt. Commander Spock of Starfleet Command once said, "The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one.

Indeed. Truer words have never been spoken.

Open up America NOW!

Evil Hatred

Comedian Kathy Griffin is, simply put, full of hate.

Her video depicting the decapitation of President Donald Trump, ISIS style, is certainly beyond despicable and light years away from legitimate differences of opinion.  But beyond that, it displays an inner level of hatred that not only lies in the heart of Kathy Griffin, but with a seeming majority of the self proclaimed tolerable and caring leftists.


















The above cartoon brilliantly takes the point a step further.

To enhance a political agenda, the left embraces the selling of post (we think) aborted baby body parts.

If anything describes the heartless hatred of these individuals, it is indeed that.

And the low information crowd supporting their efforts have no idea they are championing a group of people who seek control over their livelihoods.

It may be beneficial, from a historical perspective, to note that the party who strongly opposed the civil rights movement was in fact the Democrats.

Just sayin.

Attention Required

The Washington Post is out this evening with a story that has the mainstream media, and Democrats in collusion, on fire.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador--Washington Post

Among the most concerned is Patrick Leahy, who is commonly referred to as Leak Leahy, as he once divulged classified information himself. And then he did it again!

So, from the completely discredited and partisan Washington Post, tonight breaks a fabricated story with "anonymous sources" burning up the news media in an effort to discredit President Trump.

For those who don't read newspapers written by Winston Smith, it would be beneficial for us to revisit and fully comprehend some FACTS:

1. Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation orchestrated a deal for profit to sell uranium to Russia, jeopardizing our national security. She should be in jail.

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal 

2. Former president Barack Obama, who without congressional approval assisted the Iranians in breaking international laws escalating their ambitions of nuclear weapons, aiding and abetting a sworn enemy of this nation in what could only be classified as an act of Treason.

Obama’s hidden Iran deal giveaway

The ruling class elite, working in unison with the mainstream media, who direct the narrative for the democrats, and even some in the GOP intoxicated with power, will employ Saul Alinsky's tactic of achieving goals by "any means necessary."

The goal is to render President Trump ineffective, limiting him in his quest to wrestle power away from this collection of elites and return it the people.

Sadly, we are not too far removed from two other presidents who attempted this act of merit, both of which took a bullet, one fatally.

We are not playing canasta out here folks. Those who champion government control over the people are playing for keeps.

You are in perhaps a lethal fight to keep the liberty and freedom you were given from God as a citizen of this divinely inspired nation.

Your undivided attention is required.

Time to Exit!

The Road To Serfdom is among the top must reads for anyone.

As Dr. Thomas Sowell accurately notes in a review of F. A. Hayek's masterpiece, "The rule of law, on which freedom itself ultimately depends, is inherently incompatible with socialism. People who are free to do as they wish will not do as the economic planners wish. Differences in values and priories are enough to ensure that. These differences must be ironed out by propaganda or power, if socialism is to be socialism. Indoctrination must be part of the program, not because socialist want to be brainwashers, but because socialism requires brainwashing."

Without the rule of law, you no longer have a nation of virtue wtih freedom and liberty for all.

Unfortunately, the assessment Dr. Sowell arrived upon in review of Hayek's brilliance, is actually happening.

Rather than "cheering for your team" no matter the policy put forth, it seems our citizenry should acquaint themselves with the ability to engage in critical thinking. Presently, powerful ruling class elite and progressive politicians, with the cooperation of their partners in the mainstream media, are pushing their agenda, littered with propaganda and fake news, on the citizenry.

It is, as progressive Stuart Chase wrote in 1942, "The Road We Are Traveling."

The "real" stories, which discredit the propaganda pushed by the central planners, is labeled Fake News.

Fake News is a new weapon designed by the central planners to confuse the citizenry, who has made recent strides on deciphering truth from deception.

But until America firmly wakes up and wins this battle, and make no mistake it is just that, that road is "The Road To Serfdom."

Time to Exit!

Revealing Post Election Actions

The election is over.

 Donald Trump handily defeated Hillary Clinton. Thank God!

Since the election, it seems clear the character of the participants seems to be revealing itself.

And America should thank it's lucky stars Donald Trump won!

They Want The Government To Quit Doing Things To Them

"Most Trump supporters don’t want the government to do something for them; they want the government to quit doing things to them. They viscerally revile the elite—it’s personal—and they want no part of that class or its government. They know how to take care of themselves, and many know the government hurts the most those whom it ostensibly protects."

 Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.--Ronald Reagan

Much More Than Trump by Robert Gore

The Arrogance of the Ruling Class Knows No Bounds.

Rep Corrine Brown (D:FL) was hit with a 24-count federal indictment Friday. "Prosecutors say that Brown used her official post as a member of Congress to solicit $800,000 in donations. That money, according to the indictment, was used on personal items."

Politico reports Brown opened her new statement saying “last week was very rough, Two black men were needlessly gunned down by police; 5 Dallas police officers were slain by a demented man, and on Friday I had to appear in federal court,” she wrote.

Really????

The arrogance of the ruling class knows no bounds.

Americans Reject Clinton's Failure and Fraud

Hillary Clinton

With the GOP establishment in the throes of death fighting to stay alive, many are worried that out of the ashes of the turmoil comes the election of Hillary Clinton.

Unless the GOP denies the will of those who voted, that result is highly unlikely. According to John Kass of The Chicago Tribune, "Hillary can't win. She's the establishment candidate in year of insurgency."

America is full throttle anti-establishment, as evidenced by the successes of Trump and Sanders. Although Hillary will beat Sanders, in a year of insurgency, in the general, she remains a terribly flawed candidate.

Clinton, a classic insider of the elite ruling class, has little record of accomplishment and sky high unfavorables. In addition, much of the electorate considers her untrustworthy, if not an outright liar. She claims to be the answer of all the nation' problems, but has been standing in lockstep as a member of the team that has not only failed to fix the multitude of issues we face, but has made them worse.  Freedom, in the name of government fixes she has championed, has retracted.

While an indictment may be in her future, if not, her embodiment of the ruling class establishment will be exposed and prohibit her from further destroying the republic.Those who cause the problem are rarely the right choice to fix the problem.

The Case For Cruz

BAHL Revere will  be casting a ballot on March 15 in Florida for Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for President of the United States of America.

To take a step back, the wide field for the GOP was a collection of outstanding individuals for consideration, with each and every one of them far superior to anyone the Democrats have running or thinking of running.

While a couple of them had no hope, some had stellar backgrounds and compelling visions for the future of America.

Rick Perry and Scott Walker were very accomplished men who for whatever reason were eliminated early on.  Both were outstanding, conservative governors.

Bobby Jindal has always impressed, but although he came out swinging, he never got any hits.

Sen. Rand Paul we hold in very high regard, but he got off kilter in many of the debates and did not in our estimation adequately address the terror issue, which sadly became a top discussion point in the aftermath of terrorist activity.

Carly Fiorina was tremendous, calling out folks and speaking with eloquent and intellectual precision, but she never could keep hold of gains she would make. If it were up to me, I would find something for her to do in the next administration.

The time has passed for Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, although Santorum does have keen insight on the Islamic situation, which could benefit the next president.

Chris Christie is a very smart guy and quite capable.  But over time, we have learned of his progressive leanings and we cannot get past his embrace, seemingly for political purposes, of President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Brokeback Boardwalk we found appalling.

As governor of Florida, we had absolutely no complaints with the performance of Jeb Bush.  But Bush is now an open border man, spearheaded common core and thinks we need to move away from the Reagan years.  He must have lost his ever loving mind. Thanks, but no thanks.

We have never really embraced John Kasich, who we consider a conservative Democrat.  Had he switched parties, he may well be our next President.  He is a fan of Common Core and thinks government can pick winners and losers, which I abhor.

Dr. Ben Carson is a brilliant mind and a wonderful person, and would be dealing with healthcare issues in the next administration if it were up to me.  But we never saw him as "the man" this go around.

That leaves Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio got our vote for Senate in Florida, where he campaigned as a Tea Party guy.  We elected him to go stop Obama.  Next thing we know, Rubio has team with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R:SC) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D:NY) to craft an immigration policy which allows forms of amnesty. In addition, Rubio cast the sixtieth vote on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which we consider an attack on American sovereignty. Therefore, of the remaining three, he gets our bronze.

Donald Trump is an individual I have always liked over the years, and love his book "The Art of the Deal." In 2011, we asked Trump to run as a Democrat to derail Hillary, as Trump himself said he has always thought of himself as more of a Democrat.  Trump is scoring big on the issue of the border, and is also against the TPP, which no doubt helped him get the endorsement of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R:AL), one of our favorites.

We have been very disappointed with the demeanor carried by Trump during the campaign.  Trump does not take criticism lightly and appears to have an enemies list of those who he considers an opponent, which we do not condone.  Trump appears to not have a deep understanding of the Constitution, and seems uninterested with the constraints of placed on government within the document. He recently said he supports the healthcare mandate, which we deem unconstitutional.

The list of people who despise the candidacy of Trump includes many of our favorite folks, inclusive of Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Sen. Ben Sasse (R:NE), Dana Loesch, Andrew McCarthy, Dr. Thomas Sowell and David Barton to name a few.

Other folks we like are backing Trump, inclusive of Sen. Sessions, are Sarah Palin, Michael Savage, Eric Bolling and Steve Forbes.

Trump will get things done, and we consider him perhaps the Grey Champion described in work of Strauss and Howe in their "The Fourth Turning" book. As described by Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform, the Grey Champion "doesn't necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path." As America enters the period of a Fourth Turning, the arrival of a Grey Champion is a must, and he will come. Is he here?

While Trump is intriguing, a breath of fresh air and someone ready to place a well deserved kick in the ass to not only the GOP establishment but the entire ruling class, he exhibits too many liabilities to garner my support in the primary.

That leaves Sen. Ted Cruz.

In the last several weeks, the Cruz campaign has lapsed, having been taken off message and blindsided by some decisions made by staff members.  Cruz is in the weeds trading insults with Rubio and Trump and the news media.  Just this Sunday on FOX News, Cruz appropriately called out Chris Wallace, but when given the opportunity to knock him out with truth, failed to do so.

Cruz needs to get back to his original message, which empowers the individual, limits government, forces financial sanity and returns our nation the the friendly confines of the Constitution.

Much is made that Cruz is not well liked, but we view that as a positive. My vote is not sending him to Washington to get along with and do deals with progressives and socialist whose objective is to transform, if not ruin, the country as founded.

I know which politicians have been fighting Obama every step of the way, and Cruz leads that brigade. Cruz is a principled man with great respect for our founding who is country first, recognizing the expansive opportunities available in an America which champions liberty and freedom.

A major divide in the GOP is forming, and good people are getting in unnecessary scraps.  All of the blame can be placed on the GOP establishment, who have become one with the ruling class and have rejected the will of the governed.

While my ballot will be cast for Cruz, I fear it is too late with the Trump train having already left the station and I am quite certain Trump will win Florida easily.

Should Trump become the eventual nominee, while I have reservations beyond those documented above, I will support him against Hillary Clinton, who could never secure my vote, Micheal Bloomberg, who could never secure my vote, or a GOP establishment candidate (Mitt Romney?)should the GOP start playing games down the road.

America is over with the games, and that is why, in large measure, Trump is on his way to a landslide win, not only in the primary, but in November as well.

I think the Grey Champion is here.

Directing The Masses

Donald J. Trump

It is really astonishing if you think about it with any level of curiosity.

As outlined by GOP front runner Donald Trump, with all the terrorism acts being committed around the globe, the despicable and barbaric acts being engaged upon by Planned Parenthood and the corrupt actions and blatant disregard for the law being exhibited by the Obama administration and complicit members of Congress from both sides, the media feels compelled to scold Trump on his tone.

Can you imagine?

On the surface, you might conclude the news media is so stupid they would not know a story of legitimate impact on the citizenry if it took place in the lobby of their corporate office building.  But no, nobody is that idiotic.

The mainstream news media is in full command of the facts. The stories they provide and the issues they cover are all part of an agenda to lead the American people in a direction they, in the arrogance of their intellectual elitism, determines is best determined to serve the ruling class.

Fans of dystopian writers George Orwell and Aldous Huxley often engage in debate who was more correct. Orwell considered the government would conceal information from the citizenry, and engage in rewriting the history the public was able to consume. Huxley imagined a world where the citizenry would be bombarded with voluminous information that would allow such consumption which would result in the citizenry being drunk on a sea of irrelevance.

George Orwell and Aldous Huxley

Both are accurate.

Truthful information is being concealed (gun running in Benghazi), and rewritten (see unemployment rate) as Orwell imagined and the country is ever increasingly engulfed by guilty pleasures (UFC fighting) and issues and individuals of non importance (the Kardashians) as Huxley forecasted.

Meanwhile, the freedoms we hold dear are being methodically taken from us though the orchestration of evil organizations, elected officials and social justice engineers of the ruling class.  And of course, the mainstream media.

Appalling and Dishonorable

Texas Congressman Louis Gohmert told One America News that some very familiar names pressured members of the House Freedom Caucus to rethink who they would endorse for Speaker.

“Promises were made and as I understand it, our friend Senator Jim DeMint, now head of the Heritage Foundation was making calls persuading…really shocked me. I don’t guess I was so surprised that Newt Gingrich was making calls behind the scenes to Freedom Caucus members to tell them, ‘you gotta cave and go with Paul,’” Gohmert said.



Backdoor promises that are made, crossing the aisle to collaborate with those who plot the demise of our nation as founded and the elitism of the ruling class to govern above the head of the people they are elected to represent is appalling and dishonorable.

Shame on former Sen. DeMint of the Heritage Foundation for this betrayal of our founding principles as Ryan pledges to govern outside of the people, unwilling to have his authority challenged.

We continue to support Rep. Dan Webster (R:FL) for Speaker, and extend our greatest appreciation to Rep. Gohmert for keeping up the fight for freedom!

Time To Take Your Government Back

It has been an interesting day in the political arena, which over the last decade and a half has seemingly completed a slow creep encroachment into our daily lives.

Two examples are presented for your review.

Just today, Rep. Paul Ryan, R:WI, announced he will step in and make a run at Speaker of the House, but demanded that certain conditions be met. The Blaze reports "Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) told his GOP colleagues Tuesday night that he would seek the speakership if every Republican caucus endorsed him for the job."

The establishment is falling in line, as Rep.Jason Chaffetz @jasoninthehouse (R:UT) tweeted “I am out and supporting @RepPaulRyan for Speaker. Right person at the right time.”

No, that would be Daniel Webster, R:FL, and man of principle.

Although not even on the job yet, Ryan is demanding conditions our representatives must meet.  Screw Ryan!  He failed miserably to meet the one and only condition he was tasked with when the voters placed the GOP in control of the House:  Stop Obama!

Among the items Ryan failed to stop Obama on was illegal immigration.  But, as Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz recently wrote, “There is nobody around in the party who is more fanatically dedicated to the cause of open borders than Paul Ryan.” In fact, the left favors his candidacy.

Ryan, who supported the Trade Promotion Authority voted to continue funding Planned Parenthood (are you kidding me?), is a ruling class progressive who would continue governments encroachment over the citizenry.

Also today, as report by The Daily Signal, "the Senate Democrats blocked legislation that would punish “sanctuary cities” in a 54-45 vote Monday afternoon. The bill, called the Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act, needed to overcome a 60-vote threshold. It would withhold certain federal funding from states or cities that refuse to comply with requests from federal immigration officials to turn over immigrants who are in the country illegally".  See how your Senator voted.

As Patrick J. Buchanan warned, "a country that cannot control its borders is no longer a country."

Illegal immigrants can continue to be harbored by cities promoting open borders, even if our citizens are getting killed. Bill O'Reilly is torqued, and so am I.


Enough.  It is time to take your government back from the ruling class elitists who think they can control your lives and make better decisions for how you should conduct your life than you can.

The Hamburglar's Got Nothing On Progressives Thievery.

The government understands raising the minimum wage increases unemployment and limits choice for the consumer, ultimately decreasing opportunities for low skilled workers, in turn leading more and more of them to become dependent of entitlements presented by the federal government.  The progressive government leaders welcome additional idiots, which can be found protesting for the raising of the minimum wage, to become dependent on entitlements, which increases the power of the government over the people.

It should be noted those "working for you" politicians powerful enough to give gifts are powerful enough to take them away.  Speaking of government officials flexing their power, in this case through association with the workers unions, we find Hillary Clinton.

She tweeted out attacking GOP presidential candidate and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker informing him how "unions help keep working families strong."  Clinton's comment is demonstrably false, and while Ms. Clinton in no Ludwig von Mises, she fully understands this. The comment was directed at the low information voting class she actually has little to no regard for.

Scott Walker hammered her, and his response, while it bitch slapped Clinton, is very important for folks to understand his comments.  While the low information workers think the unions and supportive politicians are getting up everyday to help them, while they are giving small benefits to them, they are actually increasing their power over them, choking them with punitive constraints. 

The truly excellent website Zero Hedge had a long piece titled "when work is punished," which chronicled in great detail the stranglehold places on entitlement recipients, noting "how financially destructive it can be for low-paid workers to try and break free of their dependence on the public purse."

McDonald's has been the target of paid union protesters, demanding a raise to $15 per hour for minimum wage.  When you lack common skills and educational prowess, your position for bargaining is most weak. While many would say this is why the union is needed, rather than forcing through extortion and bullying (Hi Hillary), some responsibility should be placed on the individual for not taking advantage of the public school system, advancing their education and skills and making poor life choices they expect their employer to pay for.  

The minimum wage is not a wage a citizen should expect to raise their family on. Raises in wage levels should be performance based, not given to those lacking in education, responsibility and skills. When companies are forced through government intervention to raise wages, the result is a reduction in the work force, an economic principle the idiots in the picket line fail to comprehend.

Soon, very soon, the jobs of these low skilled workers will be replaced by robots. Do you think they have a life plan for that?

Hillary and her cohorts do. It involves establishing a permanent voting class of folks who are dependent on government handouts (entitlements). Under President Obama, very limited full time jobs have been created and wage growth is non-existent.

All part of the plan, a plan that not only fails to be recognized by the low skilled workers who are noting short of useful idiots, but eludes discovery by a large part of the sensible and educated folks who are working and are paying the entitlement tab.

The Hamburglar has got nothing on the progressives when it comes to thievery.

Free Market Capitalism an Economic Sky Hook

Like many, I was very saddened by the recent goings on in Baltimore, from concern over the possibility that the suspect Freddie Gray was mistreated, to the horrendous and unlawful actions  of violence and lawlessness of by hundreds of thugs and the despicable leadership just about all of the political leadership in this once proud town.  Although I have not been to the city in decades, as a direct descendant of Lord Baltimore, it was somewhat personal.

Among the destruction, the fact that we again have lost the rule of law in a major US city is of grave concern. The lawlessness led to the unthinkable; forcing the Baltimore Orioles to cancel a game, then play a home game in front of nobody because the police were unable to protect fans, and then move a home series with the Tampa Bay Rays down to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, again, for safety purposes.

How about arresting those who fail to follow the lead of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr by engaging in looting, violence and the destruction of private and public property? Well, in Baltimore, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake doesn't think much of private property, and ironically, she is not related to the Rawlings Co. that makes baseballs.

One could argue the current leaders of the federal government are not unhappy about since it gives them the opportunity gain even more control over the citizenry.  Al Sharpton, a proxy mouthpiece for President Barack Obama, quipped that due to the events of Baltimore, and the previously orchestrated protests in Ferguson, MO outside of St. Louis, it is now time to federalize the nations police departments.

Let that one sink in for a moment.  Sharpton, and make no mistake, Obama, want the power in Washington and not locally in our communities, cities and states.  This directly contradicts the wishes of our Founding Fathers, but Obama and his teammates view our founding documents as charter of negative liberties, limiting what the federal government can and should do.  The Founders, of course, sought to limit government.

Those that have weighed in on these events include anybody and everybody. I was interested in the thoughts of two individuals; Dr. Alveda King and Dr. Ben Carson.

Dr. Alveda King, is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, who so eloquently and effectively championed the civil rights movement.  She knew both her father and her uncle would strongly disapprove of the protests in Baltimore, and said so in an editorial, although the political leadership of the city did not want to hear of it. You see, to the progressive leadership in this county, King's message is considered weak, failing to include the grievances and reparations this group feels they are owed.

As the chief neurosurgeon at John's Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Carson, who has announced his candidacy as a republican for president in 2016, could offer informative commentary given his longtime residency in the city.  Carson did an interview printed in GQ, noting "Obviously I'm sad to see what's going on there."

Jesse Lee Patterson had a brilliant piece over at World Net Daily, pontificating if white America just said no!

One of my all time favorite NBS stars, legendary NBA Hall of Fame player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Los Angeles Lakers. Although I am not sure if it is deserved, Abdul-Jabbar is getting hammered over his written comments about the unrest in Baltimore.

“I suggest we all pay attention to what’s happening in Baltimore, because it’s very likely that unless the economic and injustice issues raised there are addressed in a meaningful way across the country, we will be seeing many more Baltimores throughout the election season.”

Maybe Abdul-Jabbar sees thing differently than I do.

I blame much of the inner city issues in Baltimore and other major cities on the failed experiment of The Great Society, where government has infiltrated, and help break up, the family by introducing incentive killing entitlements. Marriage rates have tanked, leaving many youngsters to be raised without a Dad, or in many cases, without parents.

Entitlements from the government have placed many low income inner-city individuals and families in a box, with decreasing avenues of escape; just as it has been planned. School choice, ended by President Obama who frowns upon folks leaving the inner city for the suburbs, has reduced opportunities for those who seek to advance their education beyond the capabilities of the inner-city schools.

Government has established a permanent voting base in these cities, for those who are in regular receipt of the entitlements will likely never vote to have them taken away.  Of course, they fail to recognize they have become a slave to the state.  Do they even know the are rioting against the Man while voting to become a continuous slave to the Man in supporting the progressive Democrats.

There is no easy answer here. However, I have a few simple ideas:

*Faith needs to regain its rightful place as the centerpiece ones spirit.
*The family needs to re-established as paramount.
*The election of city leaders who inspire greatness; not race hustlers who claim the residents are victims. As noted in Proverbs 29:2, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
*Firmly establish the rule of law.  If the city is lawless, commerce and brotherhood is lost.
*Educational opportunities need to be expanded, not squelched.
*Mentoring is a vehicle which can provide a vision for youngsters to find avenues of success
*Freedom; the removal of shackling governmental regulations and taxation, assisting in the establishment of the entrepreneurial spirit and individual discipline required to achieve gainful employment.  Freedom to try, buy, sell and fail.
*Elimination of the grievance industry.  No reparations, no social justice; just free market capitalism.

Why not give it a try?  Free market capitalism is the equivalent of basketballs' unstoppable sky hook shot, a staple of Abdul-Jabbar's game.  After all, how's the progressive big government Great Society working for the inner city folks?  It is where dreams go up in flames; literally and figuratively.

Dreams They'll Never See

Entitlements from the government have placed many low income inner-city individuals and families in a box, with decreasing avenues of escape; just as it has been planned. The inhabitants of the inner-city, most with limited educational acumen, hit the voting booth to cast ballots for those who have proclaimed they are here to help.

However, most of these folks gaining the confidence of the inner-city population, are impostors; power hungry individuals and charter members of the ruling class who make a business of keeping trouble and utilize the low information crowd as permanent supporters.

With regard to the inner-city residents, do you think they can tell?

They cannot, and most will not force the issue, refusing to seek freedom from an oppressive government. Those with the benefits to dole out control those who receive them, from day to day life to dreams of dignity and success.

Therefore, it is said.

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine. What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream". Imagine being placed in a box by a ruling class which limits what you can dream?

Dreams are in flames in Baltimore.  Dreams these youthful Orioles will never see.
