LA Protests are NOTHING like seen on TV

A manmade storm called being "TACO Trump" is unleashing mayhem on Los Angeles and USA.

I will not be interrupted by him or anyone else!
(Dave Holmes, Esquire, June 11) On Sunday afternoon, I drove to the Los Angeles [anti-] ICE protest down by [the intersection of] Temple and Alameda. It’s around 14 miles from my house and miraculously took only 35 minutes that day.

Maybe people were already down at the protest, or maybe they were at the L.A. Pride Parade, or maybe they were just at brunch, but even the chronic arterial blockage on the 101 [Freeway] at Silver Lake Boulevard was moving pretty nicely.

I pointed myself to the southeast side of where I knew the protests to be because I know a cheap parking lot down there. I situated myself right near the Geffen Wing of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), with the Barbara Kruger Untitled (Questions) mural on the exterior wall: Who is beyond the law? Who is bought and sold? Who is free to choose?

King Trump is Watching You
I went and chanted and was home safe and sound by 7:00 pm. And now the Marines are here.

As with the [Los Angeles] fires earlier this year, people from all corners and chapters of my life have been texting to check in ever since. Also like the fires, everything happening in Los Angeles right now is happening around the corner and a world away.

If you didn’t know, if you didn’t want to know, you could pretty easily keep not knowing. Los Angeles is crazy vast [4,000 square miles]. It feels more like a patchwork of [88] little cities than the great big city it is [and even bigger county].

That Sunset Fire was five miles away from where we live, from where we sat watching it on local news. We didn’t even smell it until long after it had been contained. Our go bags didn’t even move from the entryway to the car. We were protected by a freeway, by a distance that isn’t actually that far.

Jackbooted thugs will rule the world starting here
For Sunday, I had made a loose plan to meet up with a couple friends who were also heading downtown. They’d gone to City Hall, and up where they were, at that end of it, the LAPD were trying to move the crowd, to kettle [trap] them using flash-bangs and rubber bullets.

I was a seven-minute walk from where this was happening and wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t been texting and trying to find each other. I was at the L.A. Protests. They’re NOTHING like what you’re seeing on TV

Newsom to call in 4,000 troops from the Nat'l Guard and 700 active-duty Marines, insisting that paid protesters are causing problems, creating a distraction from the fact that just a few days ago Elon Musk tweeted that Trump is in the Epstein files, and we take a look back at what past Presidents have said about immigration.

“A vital book for understanding the still-unfolding nightmare of nationalism and racism in the twenty-first century.”
— Francisco Cantú, author of The Line Becomes a River
Goebbels was nice. Stephen Miller, speechwriter
Stephen Miller
was one of the most influential advisors in the White House. He crafted D Trump’s speeches, designed immigration policies that banned Muslims and separated families, and outlasted such Trump stalwarts as Steve Bannon and Jeff Sessions. But he has remained an enigma. Until now.
Emmy- and PEN-winning investigative journalist and author Jean Guerrero charts the 34-year-old’s astonishing rise to power, drawing from more than 100 interviews with his family, friends, adversaries, and government officials.

After being radicalized as a teenager and attending Duke University, Miller served Tea Party Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and nativist Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions.

Recruited to Trump’s campaign, Miller met his idol. Having dreamed of Trump’s presidency before he even announced his decision to run, Miller became his senior policy advisor and speechwriter.


Together, they stoked dystopian fears about the Democrats, “Deep State,” and “American Carnage,” painting migrants and their supporters as an existential threat to America.

While Trump railed against illegal immigration, Miller crusaded against legal immigration. He targeted refugees, asylum seekers and their children, engineering an ethical crisis for a nation that once saw itself as the conscience of the world.

Miller rallied support for this agenda, even as federal judges tried to stop it, by courting the white rage that found violent expression in tragedies from El Paso to Charlottesville.

LA protests, parties, burns (Daily Show)

The Posse Comitatus Act is (or used to be until this weekend) a United States federal law prohibiting members of the military [such as the Marines called out by Trump and Hegseth] from exercising powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property.

US Marine Scott Ritter: IDF war analysis

Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Republican Mittens Romney, that time he became Jewish soliciting donations in Israel
Scott Ritter: Good news for HA.MAS: Hezbollah takes North Israel, IDF must withdraw troops from GAZA, Netanyahu goose is cooked
(Sam Crochet) Dec. 11, 2023: UN Weapons Inspector and US Marine Scott Ritter has good news for HAMAS. Hezbollah, allegedly active in Lebanon, takes North Israel. (Really? The U.S. Psyops Central, also known as the Pentagon, and the mainstream media say no such thing). Israeli militants of the IDF must withdraw their terrorist army troops from Gaza...but perhaps not until they slaughter tens of thousands more unarmed children and other civilians. Israel hates them all and wants them exterminated, so it is bombing them to death with the claim that they're aiming at HAMAS. Anyone standing close to anyone accused, thought, or even suspected to have anything whatsoever to do with HAMAS is fair game, a legitimate military target, and much more than "collateral damage." They are in reality the intended target. Follow along using the transcript.

Asymmetrical warfare w/ USM Scott Ritter

Scott Ritter, 11/29/23; Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

(Gacha Gaming) Nov. 29, 2023: U.S. Marine and U.N. Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in conversation with Black liberal intellect Garland Nixon: Israel's terrorist military (IDF) is retreating from Gaza, Palestine. They are afraid even though they are the overwhelming force against guerilla freedom fighters. "Urban warfare" with Hamas's military arm, the Al Qassam Brigades, is suicidal.

U.S. war crimes in Buddhist Vietnam (video)

Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
WARNING: Mature audiences only!

BIGGEST American war crime cover-up of the Vietnam War
(A Day in History) Sept. 19, 2023: What happens when a group of young American soldiers are let loose in the wilderness with no oversight and a simple instruction: kill anything that moves?

American Angulimala-style depravity: trophies
"Tiger Force" is the answer, an elite recon group of the American War on Vietnam whose war crimes were covered up by the US government for decades.

This video looks at the atrocities committed by the men of Tiger Force as they descended into barbarity in the jungles of Vietnam and how the US government tried to hide it from the world.

Origins of Tiger Force Tiger Force was a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit of the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division.

Like Hitler, we're just following the US example.
It was formed in Nov. 1965 by Major David Hackworth to, quote, “out-guerrilla the guerrillas.” He put it more frankly to another reporter. “I want 40 swinging dicks,” Hackworth had said, men who were free to use their own judgment, skill, and drive to conduct unrestrained warfare [war crime massacres] in the toughest areas of Vietnam to clear.

It usually numbered about 45 men at any one time, but people would rotate out every few months.

For example, 120 different men served in the Tiger Force between July and Dec. 1967. Usually, Tiger Force would be dropped into an operational area and given effectively free reign to achieve their goal.

Military command maintained minimal oversight of their activities: So long as they racked up a body-count, the brass were happy.

Many soldiers embraced the freedom to kill and lack of bureaucracy that Tiger Force provided, but the absence of accountability or oversight would lead the men of Tiger Force down a dark path.


Arriving in Song Ve
Vietnam? Who cares? We've done worse.
The events that would enshrine them in the history books began to unfold in summer 1967 when the Tiger Force was sent into the Song Ve Valley. The Song Ve Valley was an agricultural hotspot that was allegedly a hiding place for the Viet Cong (VC) and North Vietnamese Army (NVA).

Tiger Force was instructed to clear out remaining residents of the valley to a nearby refugee camp and then sweep the area for VC soldiers and food caches.

The valley was declared a "free-fire" area -- "shoot first, ask questions later." Civilian casualties were still unacceptable in theory, but enforcing that condition was a whole other matter.

Scott Ritter: Israel is in big trouble (video)

Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Scott Ritter: "Palestine and Hamas have won...Israel is in BIG TROUBLE"
(Inner Vision) Nov. 5, 2023: Scott Ritter, a US Marine, intelligence officer, and former United Nations weapons inspector, states some crucial things about the ongoing oppression of Palestine by Israel.

American Ritter suggests a significant shift has taken place in the dynamics of the stalemate, where Palestinians were left to languish and die concentrated in death camps.

He asserts that Israel (backed by the U.S. military equipment), historically considered the dominant force in the region, has faced a significant setback, leading to a conclusion that Palestine will ultimately achieve recognition as an independent state. #isreal #palestine #geopolitics

US Marine Scott Ritter tells on Israel

Cyrus Janssen, 11/1/23; Pfc. Sandoval, Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

US Marine Corps Officer Scott Ritter reveals the TRUTH about Israel and its war crimes
(Cyrus Janssen) Scott Ritter is a former United Nations weapons inspector and US Marine Corps intelligence officer with extensive knowledge of Israel and its attempts at genocide and war.

This is an exploration of the many problems with Israel's revenge "War on Hamas" and the extermination of Gaza (by terrorizing, torturing, and killing Palestinian civilians). Officer Ritter shares many surprising insights into how this could end soon -- with the failure of Israel.

Israel will have to capitulate to U.S. and international meddling in the setting up a viable two-state solution. There will be a right of return whether Israel likes it or not, and it brought it upon itself.

Gen Z: The military ain't for me (video)

Jamesons Travels, 8/19/23; Ashley Wells, Pfc. Sandoval, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Gen Z explains why they won’t join the U.S. military: NOT what you think, but worse
Go to war, and one day we'll say, "F U for your..."
(Jamesons Travels) Gen Z teen explains why they are not joining. It's not what one would think...because it's worse.

[Actually, it's better. The kids are going to be all right. They don't want to join a patriarchal rape camp system of oppression that leads to so much unskillful karma that one would be working it out for generations and millennia to come. Killing for empire, oil, control, and world domination by transnational corporations? H to the no.

Today's military is pro-LGBTQIA+. Come
rape and harass and get it from comrades.
Come back a Republican alcoholic PTSD-sufferer, broken and ignored at by the V.A., dropped into homelessness, addicted, anxious, all messed up and looking forward to a pittance for "serving" in the Chair Force droning innocents then labelling them "combatants"? The U.S. military-industrial complex has a saying, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's by FEAR and goes, "Let's have a war so you can go die." Anyone who thinks YOU should join this man's army ought to go join themselves, the cowards.

Why is it bad karma to battle others?
Ven. Thanissaro (trans.) accesstoinsight.org; edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly

KARMA: It's everywhere you're going to be.
One needs a livelihood (a way of earning a living or way of getting the funds to survive independently, most commonly a job, but not necessarily). 

Knowing that, the Buddha advises humans to avoid unskillful karma (unwholesome deeds that lead, when their results finally ripen whether in this life or a future life, to suffering).

He defined "wrong livelihood" for people. "A follower [of my advice] abstains from five types of business. What are those five? Trade in weapons, trade in human beings, trade in meat, trade in intoxicants, and trade in poisons" (AN 5.177).

Considering the military to become a soldier? It would be good to reconsider.

SUTRA: If I die in battle, I go to [Valhalla], right?
I killed all those people for nothing, out of ignorance, fear, and hatred. Now I'm going to...
.
Wait, Valhalla is a hell not a heaven?
The headman Yodhajiva went to the Blessed One [the Buddha], greeted him with respect, and sat respectfully to one side. Sitting there, he asked:

"Venerable sir, I have heard that it is passed down by the ancient teaching lineage of warriors that 'When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in the company of devas (shining ones) slain in battle.' What does the Blessed One have to say about that?"

"Enough, headman, set that question aside. Do not ask it." But a second time...and a third time the headman Yodhajiva asked it... 'What does the Blessed One have to say about that?"

"Headman, apparently, I am unable to get around it by saying, 'Enough, headman, set that question aside. Do not ask it.' So I will answer directly:

"When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, his mind is already seized, debased, and misdirected by the thought, 'May these beings be struck down or slaughtered, annihilated, destroyed. May they not exist.'

"If others then strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in a hell called the Realm of Those Slain in Battle.

"But if he holds such a view as, 'When a warrior strives and exerts himself in battle, if others strike him down and slay him while he is striving and exerting himself in battle then, with the breakup of the body after death, he is reborn in the company of devas slain in battle,' that is a wrong view.

"Now truthfully I say, there are two destinations for a person with wrong view, hell or the animal realm."

How could I have been so dumb to believe that?
When this was said, the headman Yodhajiva began to sob and he burst into tears.

[The Blessed One said:] "That is what I could not get around by saying, 'Headman, enough, set that aside. Do not ask it.'" 

[Yodhajiva:] "Venerable sir, I'm not crying because of what the Blessed One said to me but because for so long time I have been deceived, cheated, and fooled by that ancient teaching lineage of warriors who said that'" (SN 42.3).
