USA Today just published an article about the history of police brutality against black people in the United States, going back to pre-United States colonial times. The headline cites the 400-year history of anti-black racism in the United States. It talks about the slave patrols that were basically vigilante squads that enforced slavery and tried to catch runaway slaves and those who helped them. And then after the Civil War and the abolition of slavery similar groups like the Ku Klux Klan sprang up, and often got assistance from police departments and the establishment.
This history runs through 400 years. And even today, we have sort of an army of occupation situation in which African American neighborhoods are patrolled by white officers for the most part, who don’t live there, but live far away, in many cases not even in the city. And they act like an army of occupation. And of course, Israel has stepped in to train American police officers because they’re experts at creating an army of occupation to terrorize the local people.
So, I’d like to highlight some of the things that this USA Today article has left out, because I think it’s interesting that there’s a taboo against certain aspects of this story being told. I just mentioned the Israelis being at the forefront of training American police in terror tactics today. They trained many Twin Cities officers and may very well bear some of the responsibility for the death of George Floyd, since one of the things that they taught them was the knee on the neck thing which actually the Israelis developed in Palestine, in 2004-2005 or so. Then they started teaching it to American officers, and that’s how it got into the United States. But we never talk about that in the mainstream media or the universities. Anybody who brings it up here in the United States gets shot down by the immensely powerful Jewish Zionist lobby.
Another taboo, a similar one, is against talking about the fact that Jews, wealthy Jews not ordinary Jews, but the richest Jews, were massively overrepresented in the slave trade. The place to go to learn about this is the series published by the Nation of Islam, actually the NOI research group is what it’s called, on the Secret History of Blacks and Jews. This is a terrific book (and banned by Amazon). It uses the very best historical methodology. And, of course, one can debate the conclusions. But it’s a very solid scholarly book and yet it’s been banned from Amazon and no one’s allowed to talk about this because extremely rich Jews, the same descendants, basically today’s version of the people who ran the slave trade, control our media and our banking system and have immense power, but we can’t talk about that.
And another thing that we can’t talk about today is the fact that part of the reason that there is this occupying army kind of dynamic between white cops and African American neighborhoods is because African Americans have a crime rate that’s about seven times higher than all other ethnicities, and it’s even when you adjust for income.
So there’s a terrible breakdown of the family unit in black communities. And that’s actually been created by the very liberal progressive forces who are telling you this official discourse as published in USA Today about the history of racism and mistreatment of black people. They (the “liberal progressives”) mistreated the black people the worst of anybody, because they have been waging a war on black religion and the black family ever since the 1950s and 1960s. They’re trying to impose secularism on the black community which is a naturally religious community.
They’ve destroyed the black family today. Two-thirds of black children are born outside of wedlock. That’s why the crime rate is seven times higher among blacks than among any other ethnicity in the United States. But you’re not allowed to talk about that either. So, frankly, the solution to this would be to have the Nation of Islam and similar religious-based groups enforce family values and law enforcement in black communities and get the racist white officers the heck out of those communities. Until that happens I’m afraid this problem is probably going to just continue.

My experience has been that religious people (those who pray regularly, attend houses of worship, etc.) generally seem much more joyful and at peace with themselves than secular people, most of whom are quite evidently neurotic and driven and egotistical. I have spent time among poor Catholics in Mexico and Guatemala, and among Muslims of various social classes in many countries, as well as among secular North Americans and Europeans. Invariably the more religious people seem much happier (you could measure and quantify it in “smiles per hour”) even when they are dirt poor.
If you can’t make sense out of the fact that the crime, drugs, and misery in the black community (and other communities) is caused mainly by family breakdown and the lack of religious guidance, all I can say is, open your eyes. Or read some social science. Here is a place to start: https://www.veteranstodayarchives.com/2013/08/16/jamil-2/
As I understand North Africans had only local religions, neither Christianity or Islam before colonization of some sort, Islam was brought to North Africa possibly 100 years ago. before that either like Egypt they had their own system going back to gods like Amon and Ra and Isis (the real one!)
Islam has been the primary religion of North Africa since the mid-600s.
Though Islam has been the main religion of North African URBAN civilization since the mid-600s, it wasn’t the majority religion for the region for a few more centuries, because the Muslim rulers did not insist on conversion by their non-Muslim subjects. There were huge, thriving Christian and Jewish communities living under Muslm rule in various parts of North Africa right up through the current era of Western colonialism and neocolonialism. The Western occupiers privileged the Jews and Christians and set them against the Muslims in a divide-and-conquer operation, which led to a certain amount of bad blood that continues today in places like Lebanon and Egypt.
Nobody is naturally religious. If you want to say we are naturally spiritual I can not argue that. We are all extremely affected by our environment. Our environment does not create us, it can enable us and/or destroy us. I have no time to wallow in labels like neo-conservative/liberal, liberal progressive, far right, religeous right all are highjacked none describe individuals. It does seem true that people gravitate toward those labels for safety and to feel conected and ‘good’ about themselves. I cannot wrap my head around how “liberal progressives” are responsible for the breakdown of the black family unit through secularism. Religious people are more likely to feel like shit about themselves because they don’t meet some make believe standard and this comes out negatively on society as well.

I just can not make sense of this statement.
Remember how Dr. Martin Luther King said, “A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God”? That belief in a higher authority for objective good is why Dr. MLK did what he did, and a lack of it is why the materialists had him murdered.
