Re: [blind-democracy] RE: [blind-democracy] Re: [blind-democracy] RE: [blind-democracy] Re: [blind-democracy] Eric Garner case finally heard — in a cops’ court

Another thought on the subject, Miriam.
My son-in-law sees his job with the Pierce County Sheriffs Department
in the same light as he sees my work with Older Blind and Low Vision
People. We are both serving the Public. He enforces the Law without
ever questioning whether the Law is protecting all the people equally.
He listens to my complaints regarding a program that is under funded
and over worked, and he tells me that it is the same in the Sheriff's
Department. And so it is with all my family, friends and associates.
We are all doing our jobs to the best of our abilities, and to the
limits of the rules that regulate our behavior. Most of us are
floundering around trying to make ends meet, and we never reach the
time, or have the luxury of time, to question why things work the way
they do.
And if I were to travel to Tacoma and protest the treatment of little
children in that inhuman Baby Jail, and if I were ordered to leave the
scene, and I refused, I can assure you that my son-in-law would
handcuff me and arrest me for breaking the law...even though he has
three little girls at home, and would never stand by and watch any of
them treated like the children locked up in the Baby Jail. And in all
of this, he never thinks that he is protecting a Class Division to
which he can never belong. He believes that as an Officer of the Law,
he is protecting America. And because I mostly like him, and he is a
good husband and loving father, even though he is programming his
daughters to be devout Christians, even though, at the very same time,
he is a lackey for the Oligarchy...the Ruling Class.
That is part of why I insist that we need to begin identifying America
as a Two Class System...the Ruling Class and the Working Class. While
my son-in-law is actually a member of the Working Class, he sees
himself as being above many of the people he deals with on a daily
basis. He has been taught to associate with the Ruling Classes needs
without understanding that if he failed to protect them, he would be
squashed like a bug. My doctor believes that he is "better off" than
most of his patients. He is opposed to Universal Health Care. He is
opposed because he has been conditioned to believe this, without
seeing that he is helping to create and protect a two-tiered System of
Health Care...that very limited and expensive care given to the
Masses, and the full coverage provided to the Ruling Class.
He does not see himself as being in the Working Class. His survival,
he believes, is dependent upon his compliance to the whims of the
Ruling Class, whether that is good or bad for most of his patients.
I could go on, but my point is that each of us justifies who we are,
and why we do and believe what we do, without thinking much about how
we came to do and believe what we do. A tenured professor believes he
is superior to the First Grade teacher because he has a PHD and she
has a mere teaching certificate. My local bank manager feels that she
is superior to her Tellers, because she has the power to fire them.
Until we can all see one another as supporters of the Ruling Class,
the American Oligarchy, and understand that regardless of how well or
how poorly we are "rewarded" for our contribution, it is ultimately
done to benefit that Ruling Class. Period.
One of the several companies my dad worked for was a huge building
materials manufacturer. The head of the Shop became good friends with
my dad. He constantly bragged about how he had "built that shop from
nothing", and that "Bill owes me big time". Bill was the owner...not
actually in the Ruling Class, but a multimillionaire, living the life
of the Ruling Class. My dad did his job, bidding successfully on
enough jobs that the shop was soon full to overflowing with work. My
dad was laid off and went to work for a competitor. The shop manager
was also laid off, even though he went to Bill and begged for his job.
He went home and closed his garage door, turned on his car, and
committed suicide. He died believing that he was a failure, leaving a
note to his wife and family saying how he had "let them down". He
never understood that he never was "successful" in the way he believed
himself to be. Yet he lived in a home and a neighborhood that my
parents could never afford. Even my ten acres with a 3,200 plus
square foot home does not come close to the luxury living this man
provided for himself and his family. He was paid well, but he was
used. And when his usefulness was at an end, he was kicked to the
curb, just as my dad was. But dad understood the game, and simply
offered his skills to another "pretender to the Rich" companies that
grasped for the business in the manner of Donald Trump, lying and
accusing one another. And who benefited from all the misery they
brought down on so many workers, laid off for doing their jobs so
well? The Ruling Class benefited...the Oligarchy...not our friend,
but our foe.
So, even though the shop foreman saw himself as "better" than my dad,
and he lived in a far fancier style, he still befriended my dad
because he gained an ear into what was going on within the offices
where he would not be allowed. And Bill, the owner, used my dad and
the shop foreman in order to assist in knowing when to make business
corrections in order to undercut his competition. Bill lived a life
style that put all others to shame. If wealth is your measure of
success, Bill was near the top of the pyramid. And yet, he was
working for those above him.
All the while we have our eye on the wrong brass ring. We must come
to understand that success is not how much money or property or even
how much power we have, individually. We must come to see managing
Earth and its resources as our measure of success. If that
means...and it does...seizing back the ill gotten gains of the Ruling
Classes around the Planet, so be it. Putting our best minds and our
great international wealth to work, we just might save ourselves. But
if we continue to allow the Ruling Classes to direct and manage us,
we'll be nothing more than a footnote in the history of the Universe.
