Do ANY Lives Matter to "Black Lives Matter"?

 ב"ה

I'm a big  Mets fan and oftentimes, when things aren't going well in my life watching the Mets (or other teams that I root for)  makes me feel better, feel that I have a brother/sisterhood that I can cheer with or commiserate with. But this entire year, when I've needed it most, my Mets and baseball in general are falling short of my expectations and my needs. 

Let's be honest, nobody watches baseball or any other sport because it is required. We watch sports because we enjoy it. But this season (what little of it there is) has been so heavily politicized that even the very few games being played and the even fewer that the Mets are winning just don't feel like they have in the past. 

First, the politicizing of the Corona Virus, locking us (and mocking us) in our homes for so long (wasn't it supposed to be for 2 weeks originally?). When this mock-down started, I was finally getting out of the house after my Mom's death at the nursing home, visiting my Dad once a week or so in his nursing home. So the mock-down began and I was barred from visiting my Dad. He died after our governor decided that the best place to put corona patients was where they could infect and kill the most vulnerable. My Dad died gasping for breath unnecessarily. We had a "Zoom" goodbye with him. 

So now I have been largely confined to my house since a year ago February (I was caring for my Mom before she was in the nursing home and I rarely went out.) I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a job for over a year. And I don't even have baseball to to make me feel better. Sports in general have lionized Colin Kaepernick and his disrespect of our nation, our country, our president, our liberty. 

"Black Lives Matter" which uses a name that will make any non-racist (most Americans) feel guilty if they don't support the movement or allow them to get away with rioting, stealing, killing. But no lives matter to BLM. They tell us it's "racist" to claim that ALL LIVES MATTER. It's not. 

But by calling themselves "Black Lives Matter" they are claiming the following:

1) They care about Black Lives. They clearly don't since they don't even mention the children (and adults) being murdered by the rioters. 
2) Only by joining with Them can we prove to them and the world that we are not racist. 
3) Only Black Lives Matter  To suggest otherwise brands you as a racist in their twisted world.
4) Blacks are the only minority group that have been persecuted or enslaved. This is patently false and by turning us all against each other, whether African American, Latino, Native American, Native of India, East Asian or Jewish. We all need to work together -- including "Whites". When we start claiming all the suffering for ourselves, we do an injustice to ourselves and our fellow humans. That includes blacks. To allow anyone (including blacks) to wallow in victim-hood rather than to work with them to get past their persecutions is to do them a disservice. 

Those who use the BLM propaganda to cow others, to make any people believe that "systemic racism" (which is prevalent in many other countries such as tribal African countries and racist Muslim terrorist regimes but NOT in the US) exists are using emotions to override logic. They are using emotional appeals that lie, that make us believe that these evil people (the leaders of BLM who are using non-existent racism to fool people into voting for socialism, voting against our own best interests) are our friends. Don't be fooled. 

The Eclipse of our Civil Rights from the "Corona"

ב"ה

Since this year began (this being the secular year of 2020 of the common era) we have been dealing with major issue after major issue. It started with the Covid-19 Corona Virus. Despite the fact that there is a viral "season" every year that kills thousands upon thousands of people, this virus, we were told, is so deadly it could wipe out everyone on earth -- well, more or less. I said from the very beginning, even based on the inflated model numbers that everyone was "overreacting". Not only were they overreacting to the "emergency" but almost everyone overreacted to my comments about the virus.

At the beginning (the point where I at my most unsure and the most concerned) I wasn't worried about the virus for me; I was only worried about the virus for my Dad (who had recently celebrated his 90th birthday and was full of life) because he was living in a nursing home. Little did I know at that point that the Democratic Governors would expose my 90 year old Dad to the virus they called "deadly" because they decided that the nursing homes, NOT the hospitals (which were mostly empty because people were afraid to go to hospitals for their heart disease or their cancer or their diabetes, etc. and hospitals were told to cancel "elective" surgeries. There was PLENTY of room in the hospitals (I was in the hospital the day before the "mockdown" started in our community and even the emergency room was very unpopulated)).

My father, by the way, died of being neglected once he got the corona virus; it was left for us (and the nursing home employee who helped us zoom Dad twice a week for the month before he got sick) to see what he looked like and that he was sick and "encourage", shall we say, them to send him to the hospital. But because he got the virus before most of the treatment protocols were in place (he was given intravenous vitamin C and rallied for a while but it was before we knew that lots and lots of Vitamin C (intravenous or intramuscular) were needed so even though he rallied for a time, he eventually died almost 2 days after we got him sent to the hospital.

Now, in the past "I don't even know how long" (I've totally lost track of when things have happened) we have been seeing day in and day out, revolutionaries (yes, revolutionaries) are taking over big city after big city (starting in Seattle). Despite the number of corona cases and deaths showing quite conclusively that this is nothing to imprison people over, people are still hiding in their houses, covering their mouths and keeping their 6 feet (2 meter) distance from others. There's a sign I've seen in town that tells us to maintain that distance "it saves lives". How do they know? Have they done studies? So, while corona has quieted a bit, leftists, led by "black lives matter", the organization that only cares about "black lives" when they are killed by police (preferably, for them and their police-hating propaganda, white police, but they seem to equally hate black police officers (who they call "race traitors"), Asian Police, Latin officers, you name it)

Fortunately, "CHAZ/CHOP" has been disbanded but, unfortunately it hasn't affected any of the madness going on around us. Police departments in Democratic (read: leftist) run big cities are being gutted -- New York City, which is run by one of the most leftist mayors, a mayor of smoke and mirrors and no substance, a man who showed his hatred of those brave, "people in blue" of all skin colors from the moment he was inaugurated when his vitriol led to the murder of two minority officers, a man who makes his governor (who I used to think was a "good guy", like his "grateful to America" father, who was Lieutenant Governor when I was in college, but "Andrew" totally lost me when he said that America was never great) look like a Trump supporter.

It seems like the riots are losing steam -- not the urban violence, but the riots, where the left, represented by "Black Lives Matter" (probably the only people in this country who DON'T care about black lives, particularly the lives of black children, but I digress) have calmed down.

We have recently been going back and forth about opening the schools in September. I think if Trump had said he doesn't think schools should open because "Corona" is killing people (even though it's clearly not killing many people at this point) the teachers' unions would have been screaming that the teachers need to go back to work. But Mr. Trump has taken the high road, using the science (that being that 1) children RARELY die from this 2) Corona doesn't "use" children to infect adults and 3) European countries have opened their schools and nothing terrible has happened. 

We also need to remember that it's not how many people get the virus it's how many people die from it. Getting an infectious disease is only an issue if people are dying. I think the reason people are "freaked out" when people get infectious diseases, so "freaked out" that they will permit medical workers to inject heavy metals and other toxins into their bodies because they are convinced that they will die from measles or mumps or chicken pox or rubella etc. etc. etc. There is no such thing as a safe vaccine -- because vaccines are considered "biologics" and not drugs, they don't need to prove either their safety or efficacy to be approved for general use. 

In any case, I've started watching "Tucker Carlson" and "Hannity" regularly. Tucker Carlson has a saying "anything (of consequence) that happens during an election year is about the election." This year, it's been very obvious. It's clearly been one thing after another. First was "The Virus" (most years there are several viruses but no one has to live though being stuck inside month upon month) and when people started protesting the "mockdown", there was an excuse to riot (a criminal was killed by a police officer as other officers stood by) -- even though EVERYONE agreed that this was something bad (and the officer was arrested) this incident was used as an excuse (I'm sure they were already planning this and looking for an excuse) to start rioting, destroying homes and businesses, killing people and not even getting arrested or tried for this. They started calling for defunding the police (which, naturally, coupled with bail free arrests, caused a huge spike in violent crime in many major cities including many shooting deaths of babies and young children. 

But the organization that calls itself "Black Live Matter" (and rages when anyone says "all lives matter") which really doesn't care about any lives but their own. They only care about "Black Lives" when that black life was a criminal killed (generally in self-defense) by white police officers. They certainly don't care about unborn black lives (since they don't care about any unborn lives) or black lives (including the lives of children) that are shot down crossing the street or sitting in Grandma's back yard at a family barbecue or sitting in the back seat of Daddy's car. That loss of life they don't mention.

So schools remain closed. And Portland continues to burn. And police continue to be defamed despite their attempts to protect people. And we continue to see our country being a preview of Venezuela and Brazil, where people stand on lines all day for the possibility of getting food and often go home without any. I'm sorry, but 5 months of a look ahead into what a Biden America, led by BLM and the AOC's "Green New Deal" (not to mention her agreement with Bill Gates about keeping the birth rate down -- tell me again why we need to save the world if people won't be on it?) and other haters.

If you want to know what these people are doing, listen to what they accuse Trump and Republicans of doing. That's what they are doing to us. And we need to put an end to this and the inculcation of our young people through the schools, from pre-school to elementary school, to high school, to college and beyond. Until schools reopen and teach traditional subjects and traditional values (civic values, family values, religious values, for example) we will lose the minds of the next generation to the left.

You can only be "Safe" in Baseball

We are living in a time where people in the US are afraid. People are not afraid of war; they are not afraid of famine; they are not afraid of drug side-effects even though pharmaceutical products kill over 100,000 people a year when taken as prescribed; they are not afraid of misinformation and lies.

Right now, everyone seems to be obsessed with dying from corona-virus. People are hiding in their homes, people are losing their jobs, people are getting others to buy them groceries, even athletes are afraid to do that thing they have been training all their lives with laser focus to be able to earn a living at, even though it's been shown that people in their age group virtually NEVER die from this virus. 

Why is this? From where did this largely irrational fear come? Good question. Ever think that perhaps this is coming from lies and political motivation?

People die every day. Some people die of chronic diseases. But no one is recommending eating healthy. Some people die in auto accidents but no one is recommending we stop driving our cars. Some people die from drugs (and interactions thereof) but nobody is recommending that people stop taking drugs.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you will die some time, unfortunately. I'm sorry about that but there's nothing I can do about it.

In other words, you will Never be safe. Never. You may sometimes be safer in certain situations, but you will never be totally safe.

So stop worrying about getting the corona virus -- particularly is you aren't over 50 (or even, in many cases, 70), don't smoke, eat healthy and aren't obese. If you are in a high risk category, either stop what puts you in that high risk category (like smoking) or stay away from people. Try to get some fresh air in the early AM when people are still asleep or the late PM when people aren't on the street anymore. Take extra Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 and magnesium and zinc, and eat raw cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, broccoli, kale and cauliflower (bok choy) whenever possible (and chew well) and if you have the virus, get the "HC/Z" treatment (It works in most cases) -- early!

The problem is that we are now in a time where civil rights "don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world". Just ask the Governor of Michigan, who told a man who accused her of taking away his civil rights, "you don't have any civil rights" (I'm sorry I can't find a citation for that). Just ask the governor of California who won't allow churchgoers to worship as they want. Just ask NJ Governor Murphy who keeps harassing a gym owner who wants to keep his gym open (and so do his customers who often line up around the block and NONE of whom has had Corona). 

So why are people so afraid of this virus that they only want to hide in their homes and when the people who aren't afraid of the virus and want to go back to work protest, they are called irresponsible? But the people who "protest" by burning, destroying and murdering aren't called irresponsible -- they are lauded as being fighters for "civil rights" and "BLM". 

I don't know which frustrates me more -- that liberals are convinced that conservatives are a bigger problem in general and more racist in particular (noto bene: Leftists are NOT Liberals and Liberals and NOT Leftists. Liberals have more in common with Conservatives than which Leftists. This is why I was able to go from being what I THOUGHT was leftist to being a conservative -- I was really a liberal); that the left is claiming this country is systemically racist; sexist (with a rape culture no less), homophobic, xenophobic (notice how they don't mention anti-semitic -- maybe because they are the ones who are anti-semitic?) etc. etc. etc.; that the left is using massive corona fear to control our lives; that teachers unions are more concerned about keeping Trump from getting reelected than in teaching our children or any one of several other groups who are trying to kill our way of life. 

It is becoming VERY clear now that the mockdown has nothing to do with saving lives (it's costing many more lives -- people who are afraid to go to the hospital with a heart attack, stroke, etc.; suicides are on the rise; doctors who aren't treating their corona patients for fear of losing their jobs. It's clear that this is all about the election. Analyze the stands that the Democrats are taking and you see their hypocrisy. We can't protest for our G-d given rights (because it'll spread corona) but it's ok to riot and burn and murder night after night in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Minneapolis and many other big cities. They deny that defunding the police is causing the rise in crime (not to mention prosecuting police officers for protecting themselves and the people they are sworn to protect). 

The major way to stop this insanity is to support the organizations (like PragerU) and candidates who are supporting our liberties and our way of life. This is not a time where we can sit on our hands and do nothing. Vote when the time comes, vote with your dollars (whether by "buycotting" companies that stand up for our rights and our country, or by donating to pro-American causes), vote with your voice or your "pen". It's never been more important in MY lifetime. This is not just a matter of a difference in policy; this is a difference of American values vs. Marxism/Socialism/Communism. The latter is the road the Democrats want to go down. We need to stand up for our independence, fight for our right to support ourselves; and vote to strengthen the republic our founding fathers developed almost 250 years ago.
