What Do We Do In The Face Of Oppression?

In Brief
- The Facts:Tensions around the world have reached a boiling point it seems. People, from different backgrounds and countries have had enough of oppression and corrupt systems are being pushed to the brink.
- Reflect On:Is it time humanity rises up beyond the need for a ruling elite to call the shots in their lives?
The
past few weeks I have not even had a clear idea as to what to even say
about the state of the world. I get feelings and explore them, but what
I’m observing is often unclear and points to a society that is having a
multitude of issues surface at once. Most of the time, I feel like
things just need to play out as they are, as opposed to going back to
“normal.” Things being “normal” keeps us blind to a society built to
oppress the masses, and humanity has more than enough of normal to know
we don’t thrive in “normal” – we simply survive. Do we want to simply
survive or do we want to thrive? It’s time to face some stuff we have
been avoiding about ourselves for a long time.
When COVID-19 struck, it had all the
hallmarks of an event being blown up by media and government to push
forth agendas. False and ever-changing numbers, retractions that go
unnoticed by
the public, fear propaganda, censorship of experts with a
different narrative, and so on. The whole event was one big attempt to
use a virus not much different than the flu to bring about things in our
world that don’t truly serve the public, but that instead serve the
elite who own and control society.

Amongst COVID comes the senseless
killing of a man by police officers. When George Floyd’s name began
hitting the news cycle it was a sad moment as yet again another human
dies at the hands of people that are supposedly there to protect people.
The video evidence is clear, the public servant killed a man through
the use of force, regardless of how many times Floyd said “I can’t
breathe.”
Yet again, I found myself sifting
through the never-ending differences of opinions and ideas as to what is
happening, what happened, who is to blame, and what should happen from
here on out. I’ve listened to videos from people all over the place,
trying to get a clear idea as to what people are feeling so as to make
sense of what solutions can be brought to the table. My passion in life
is to help bring change to this world, change that starts within each of
us. In that process, I find it important to get clear on issues so that
we can get clear on what actions we can take.
One of the worst things we can
do when trying to solve a problem that exists is take actions we think
are helping when in fact they are not. This causes us to stop looking
for solutions as we think we have already found it. Why it has
taken me so long to figure out what to say is because I can’t get a
clear idea within myself, or from the many, many voices I have listened
to on this issue.
I see trends starting, the black screen
on Instagram for example, where we stand in silence, apparently in
unity, but is this solving anything? I don’t doubt that people’s
intentions are beautiful, I question whether we are simply doing
something that is trendy or whether we are once again staying silent
while people’s voices should be heard. It reminds me of voting
in our current modern times… Voting is being silent while you believe
your voice is heard. Non-compliance, on an organized and collective
level, is how your voice gets heard.

One thing I’ve learned over the years
doing the work I do is that current events are often not simple to
explain. Sometimes there are details that go untold, get intentionally
left out, politics that get in the way, social engineering involvement,
etc. And the way we hear about these issues from mainstream media is
highly calculated. The same people that are piling bricks at the protest
sites during these recent protests are likely the same people pushing
racial divides through mainstream media. They want the public to look
dangerous and out of control. They want to push already tense emotions
into a state of rage so that people act out and it calls in the need for
more control and crackdowns. This is how an oppressive infrastructure
of rule functions.
But don’t think this is the first time
objects have been laid at a protest site to cause violence, it’s a
common tool used in protests all around the world. When the G20 was in
Toronto, I was covering it as a journalist. I had my camera and was
positioned at the front lines of the protest. Since I was about 100
meters away from the front lines to get a full shot, I was further down
the road and could see how police were preparing for the coming crowds.
Police backed off, they parked cars in
the middle of streets set up for a photoshoot. They had plain-clothed,
mask-wearing people amongst them. The same people that ran into the
crowds, destroyed business, smashed police cars, lit them on fire, and
then ran back behind police lines safely. At the G20 summit in Toronto,
the police stoked the violence they created it and they took part it in –
OTHER OFFICERS KNEW and went along with it.
What does this tell you about the
relationship police have with the communities they are supposed to
protect? Are they united with them? Or united with someone else? Who are
they united with? Why do governments do nothing to change this? What
does that say about the actual relationship government has with people?
Does it show they truly work in the favor of the people? Does it show
they are providing a society where people can thrive? Why do we support
such an oppressive society?
Why is it that in the US, 99% of cases
where police kill someone, they go uncharged? It doesn’t matter if the
dead person is black white, brown, yellow, or green, they aren’t
charged. Why?
Extremely similar to the case of George Floyd in almost every detail is the story of Tony Timpa,
one most people don’t know anything about. Tony called 911 for help
when he was having a reaction to drugs. Released footage from Dallas
police shows police officers mocking Timpa while he is handcuffed and
while one officer has a knee on his back for 14 minutes. As Timpa
struggles to live, the officers make fun of Timpa’s repeated cries for
help. Timpa said he couldn’t breathe and felt they were going to kill
him. He pleaded more than 30 times. Eventually, one officer notes that
he appears to be “out cold.” They then joke that he’s merely asleep and
try to wake him: “It’s time for school. Wake up!” One officer mimics a
teen saying: “I don’t want to go to school! Five more minutes, Mom!”
Tony dies, and even when that is confirmed, the cops are still laughing
as if his death was a joke.
Timpa’s
story is strikingly similar to Floyd’s. Non-dangerous men are met by
police, they are posing no threat to police, they are then murdered by
police while all police around don’t seem to care.
Similar to
Floyd’s case and others, in Timpa’s case we saw the city of Dallas and
the Dallas County officials fight for months so the footage would not be
released to the public. Eventually, the records came out. The three
officers involved, Kevin Mansell, Danny Vasquez, and Dustin Dillard,
were indicted by a grand jury in 2017 on charges of misdemeanor deadly
conduct, three months after media began publishing investigations into
Timpa’s death.
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot then dismissed charges on all three officers. They each only received a few months of administrative leave.
Tony Timpa is a white male.
I’m not telling you about this because
he was white, I’m telling you about this because we have to ask why we
don’t hear about these things when they are not politically useful for
elites to create a divide. Hundreds of non-black Americans are killed
every year and no justice is served. Why were the police protected? Why
wasn’t this a huge story? Why did the police try to hide what they did?
We have an epidemic of police brutality,
black people more affected, but everyone affected, and yet we are
unclear how to stop it. I do not think it’s a good thing that black
people have to feel unsafe in their own city because of what police
might do. Racist tendencies on the police force should be weeded out by
removing those officers. In situations that are life and death, we can’t
take chances. But if I’m being perfectly honest, I can’t say that I
feel safe with police either. Nor do I trust government who is
constantly working to oppress its people. I’ve had many run ins with
cops in my day, never have I committed a crime, and only once or twice
were those run ins a positive experience. I’ve witnessed innocent people
be beat up and taken to jail by police, why? Still to this day I don’t
know.
It’s true that police are not running
around hunting down citizens to do bad things to, but there is still way
too much injustice taking place towards citizens, and we can’t keep
turning a blind eye.
We must continue to speak out on racism
and help others understand their ways aren’t supporting a loving
community. We must begin to recognize the even bigger picture in that we
live in a society that is socially engineered to keep us divided and
enslaved to a ruling elite. This elite is who police protect. This elite
doesn’t want people to see them, doesn’t want people to unite snd move
beyond the dynamic of giving our power to them while thinking others in
society are our enemies.
The statistics in the US
show that police are killing large numbers of people from all races,
yet we only hear of stories that fuel racial divide. Why? These killings
are all going on without ay accountability, why? We get coaxed into
focusing heavily on issues that will divide us by class, race, gender,
and so forth – all in effect making it so we cannot unite.
Our company, CE, who has been reporting
on the actions of this ruling elite ad attempting to unite people
through love and action for over 11 years has been silenced, kicked off
of platforms, defamed and has had our revenue cut by over a million
dollars per year. The attack on our company by deep state-aligned
platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube ad Google has taken our team
from 14 down to 3. That’s how much power goes into silencing voices
that go against the divisive forces that enslave and oppress us all
because we do not come together, unite and move into non-compliance with
their systems. We instead ask their systems for justice. How does this
make any sense?
It’s time for a new approach, a new story.Neutrality Is Key
People confuse this a lot. they often
feel neutrality means you don’t stand for something, or neutrality means
you don’t care about anything, this isn’t what neutrality is to me.
Neutrality is about moving beyond the divisive tools that pull us out of
clarity. Moving beyond things like race wars, gender, pride,
patriotism, political sides, religious beliefs shaping how we see
events. It means going back to seeing yourself as a human, connected to
everyone and everything. Heck, quantum physics and emerging science
supports the very fact that we are inherently connected to everything ad
thus connected to oneness – that oneness is neutral in that it does not
define itself by emotions and beliefs.
At the moment, many black feel fed up
with how they are treated in the United States – and they very well
should be. I can’t tell you how often someone might deal with a racial
prejudice because I am not them, but I am sure it happens. On top of
that, people all over the world have become completely fed up with a
system of mass oppression that backs billions of people into a corner,
and they have had enough of it.
What was the coronavirus lockdown? It
was an overreaching lockdown about a virus that is not dangerous. It
took away rights, freedoms, and free speech. It collapsed economies and
will strip billions in wealth from the people. This event too boiled
tensions.
This systemic collective oppression goes
beyond countries, it’s a coordinated effort that affects countries all
over the world. I feel like what we are seeing right now is the boiling
over of all of these tensions within people, partly fueled by media
narratives, and partly fueled by the deep knowing that we live in
infrastructural systems that are designed to enslave and oppress the
masses everywhere.
These are systems run by an extremely
small portion of the population that do not have humanity’s best
interest at heart, ad who are being exposed at a record rate this past
year. Often called conspiracy theories, people’s knowledge about who the
deep state is and how it functions is growing rapidly as we enter into a
crucial phase of awakening I call Breaking The Illusion. It’s where we
begin to note that the world doesn’t work the way we thought it does. We
begin to see that our education systems, media and politicians have
been fundamentally lying to us about almost everything.
But before we get into anger and hatred
about that fact, let’s recall the next step of awakening I call
Awakening Neutrality. This is where we begin to see that this doesn’t
have to be a fight to perpetuate more oppression, but instead a decision
to see what’s happening, and move beyond it without needing those
oppressive systems to do all the change for us. It’s about choosing love
ad action from love, vs simply getting angry and wanting a fight or
revenge.
The Choice Is Ours
In my eyes, we are living in an epidemic
of disconnection. An epidemic of division. Depending on the day of the
week, we put on a new hat as to how we divide ourselves and on what
issue. We don’t look at one another as humans. We don’t see the beauty
and the love that we all have, we are instead trained to see all of our
difference, and to focus so heavily on them that they overtake how we
identify as beings.
The more we buy into the social
engineering of today, the more we buy into hate and division – not love.
We are then left deeply confused, all while thinking we are informed.
This happens because we’ve become addicted to a fast-paced society where
we are coaxed into getting stuck in a literal biochemical state where
we cannot think clearly or function properly. We get trapped in our
sympathetic nervous system and literally stay in stress mode all the
time. It arouses our emotions, clouds our thinking and moves us into
danger/survival mode… even when there isn’t a threat.
What type of world will this create? How
will we thrive in a world like this? How will people act in a state
like this? How will police act in a state like this? One literally
cannot gain clarity from this state. And yet from this state we are
making decisions, passing judgments, voting, and engaging in trying to
make change. All of this from a position where we are emotionally out of
touch with reality and unclear in our minds. Again, what type of world
will this create?
I write this and cannot say I’m clear on
what we should do. I don’t know how to stop police from
disproportionately killing black people just as I am not sure how to get
them to stop killing people in general. I can say we need to be more
loving, more connected, and begin seeing that which unites us. I can say
stop listening to mainstream media, messages of hate, and to not fall for the social conditioning of elites who are engineering a full-scale society of mass oppression,
but will we consider that? Will we add to our own thoughts to the
table? Will we engage in important discussions from a place of oneness
instead of just our perspective?
That I believe is on us… because
government and mainstream media sure as heck isn’t going to offer
anything of value to this conversation. It’s time for the people to
unite, become self-responsible, grounded in love, and organize.
