Amerikan Palestine, Israel and Schwartzgeist

Gaza is closer than you think. Matter of fact, you live in it. You just don't know it...yet.

In a society that is infatuated with war of all types, there has been an ongoing, silent and surreptitious war on truth and, thusly, critical thought. This war has been going on for quite some time and appears to have reached its apex during the Covid pandemic. Disinformation, misinformation, cancellation, “fake news,” climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers and a plethora of other terms have become a part of the Amerikan lexicon that were non-existent ten years ago. All of which are meant to vilify anyone that dares intellectual independence. There is no tolerance for questions or critical inquiry and honest debate is a thing that has gone by the way of the dodo bird. It is not so much a matter of “the big lie” inasmuch as it is whose big lie one chooses to believe.

Israel and its brutality in Palestine, has long been one of the things for which there can be no honest debate. The same denial that exists pertinent to Amerikan apartheid is prevalent when it comes to Israel’s apartheid government. It seems that Israeli policy in the region cannot be criticized, or examined, without the inquirer being labeled an Antisemite. This fact is unfortunate for innumerable reasons.

A perfect, albeit relatively minor, example of this intellectual and societal apartheid is illustrated in an event in Ohio. On February 3, 2023, a train derailment occurred when 38 cars of a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, United States. Several of the railcars burned for more than two days. The disaster headlined the news for several days and when reporters would discuss the disaster, they would refer to the town as East “Pales-teen.” A few slipped up and said Pales-tine, but it was clear that saying Palestine was frowned upon. Why the distinction? Most interesting.

Like many Black People in the United States, I am sympathetic to the Palestinian people because microcosms of Palestine exist all over the United States. They are called many things: “underserved communities” seems to be the preferred term at the moment. In these mini-Palestine’s, the very same conditions exist that prevail in the West Bank and Gaza. Their lives are marginalized, their opportunities few. Over and over, the Palestinians experience the extrajudicial execution of its members; just as we do here in the United States. Children, women and men are killed by the Israeli police and vigilantes; rarely are they held accountable. In fact, they are often applauded and rewarded. I remind all that the word “police” is a derivative of the word “policy.”

White supremacy rules by violence; plain and simple (which is arguably a psychosis in itself). No violence, no white supremacy. However, the real psychotic nature of white supremacy is that it expects that it can deploy enough violence to dispirit and neuter those subjected to it to a point of pacification. This is what “terrorism” truly is, but this psychosis driven terrorism is both deeply flawed and perilous for its perpetrators; particularly when it has reached a point of critical mass.

People are not put on this planet to simply live and breathe. They are not put on this planet to merely exist. They are not put on this planet to “survive.” They are put on this planet to live. And when a person has been deprived of that which inspires them, that morphs life into living, they become hopeless…and they become dangerous. Death is not only no longer threatening or something that the individual is fearful of, it can become liberation cloaked in retribution.

Better to die on one’s feet than live on one’s knees.

On July 7, 2016, 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, a Black Man in the United States, targeted and ambushed a group of European-Amerikan (aka “white”) police officers in Dallas, Texas, shooting and killing five officers, and injuring nine others. Two civilians were also wounded. Johnson was an Army Reserve Afghan War veteran and was aggrieved over police shootings of Black Men in the United States. The shooting happened at the end of a protest against the police killings of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, which had occurred in the preceding days. I will be publishing an extended column on Mr. Johnson in the near future as it is an interesting case for one reason in particular, other than the obvious.

A few days after the killings, I had the opportunity to discuss the matter in a public forum. The moderator was European-Amerikan and most of the audience was as well. They were righteously indignant, and I attempted to provide them with a perspective that they could not possibly have. I explained to them that they had no frame of reference, that this was something that they could not understand and that I understood the man’s actions. I did not say I applauded them; but that was possible as well.

Subsequent to my commentary, the moderator said “well, Kenyatta certainly you aren’t condoning his actions.” This is a tactic constantly utilized by the white supremacist; to put the oppressed, the maltreated, the murdered, the offended, on defense. There are similar queries that I will not delve into at this time. In any event, the moderator did not ask a question, he made a statement that was made in the form of a challenge; a dare, if you will.

What he was saying is though I feign sympathy for what happens to your people by mine and my system, don’t you dare treat us as we treat you. You just sit there and take it, nigger. That was the inference, that was the message which is the same message the Palestinians have been given for decades; just keep grabbing your ankles while we let you have it without KY Jelly and don’t scream.

I think they have gotten tired of the societal sodomization of being niggers in their own home.

One of the things that we constantly hear, as Black People in Amerikan Palestine, is “he’s angry.” The angry nigger. This is the white supremacist mentality meant to dismiss our humanity, our personhood. When I can dismiss you with a seemingly pejorative label or characterization, then I do not have to consider why you are whatever it is I subjectively relegate you to. It is the ultimate form of cowardice.

My question, to the white supremacist (no matter their flavor or physical characteristics) is: exactly when am I allowed the privilege to be “angry?” Should I be angry about food deserts in “underserved communities?” Should I be angry about you stripping me of my names, religions and history? Should I be angry that the only racial slur, in the world, that is profitable is “nigger?” Should I be angry when one of your overweight, racist badged sus domesticus’ kicks in a door in the middle of the night and pumps half dozen bullets into one of my female Black Children in the United States because they claim they went to the wrong house (and nothing happens to them)?

Should I be angry at lynching and wholesale rape of enslaved Alkebulanian women for the profit which birthed the “capitalism” of which you are so proud of and enamored with? Should I be angry about white supremacists bombing babies attending church? Should I be angry at the assassination of our leaders (has a Black Person in the United States ever assassinated one of yours)? Should I be angry by the fact that, consistently, my people are marginalized and at the bottom rung of every positive societal metric, from education to health care, in the United States?

Many of our readers at LookingNWords are closet white supremacists and I want them to have the courage to answer this question, since they have the courage to make the indictment. Tell me when I merit anger and why you would not be angry, were you to have even a remote frame of reference. Our readers and subscribers are intelligent, smart and well educated. I am now challenging all to show the courage and intestinal fortitude to answer this, most rudimentary, query.

Tell me when my anger is warranted. Given your, obvious, supremacy you certainly have the answer and, whatever it is, it will be equine excrement because, you see, the issue is not about the global majority being “angry.” The issue is that they (we) have not been angry enough. Because when we get angry enough, white supremacy will cease, desist and no longer exist.

The Schwartzgeist

Perhaps it is luck, perhaps it is intuition, perhaps it is “Black Magic.” I suspect it is simply intelligence and intuition. However, some time ago, I published a column entitled “A Global Race War?” The column explores the death of western hegemony and the advent of a multipolar world, possibly initiated, accelerated or exacerbated by Vladimir Putin. In the aforementioned column I write:

“Since the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine the world has changed dramatically. Terms like de-dollarization, global majority and Global South have emerged resultant of the conflict. The hegemony of the “West” is being challenged on a myriad of fronts and one cannot help but notice that this defiance of the West has racial connotations; at least I can’t.

The wheels are in motion and the European construct of “race” will play an integral part of the ugliness to come.

In the final analysis, Vladimir Putin may go down in history as one of the most significant figures in world history. Like it, or not, he has changed the world and, in all fairness, may have endangered it in the short term for we may not be experiencing the advent of a new cold war, but the advent of a new warm war. In the long term he very well could be the unwitting architect of one of the greatest global paradigm shifts in the history of the world. Whether he intended it or not or whether he knows it or not.”

The West is being challenged in a way it never has before and it is angry at these challenges. Its collective economies are in horrible shape. It is flustered. It has to find a whipping boy to make itself feel better; however temporarily.

I’m just telling you the truth.

So, as the United States sends aircraft carriers and “strike” groups to the region to assist Israeli slaughter of people with small arms throwing rocks with no artillery, no navy, no fixed-wing aircraft, no rotary combat aircraft and no tanks the prophecy that I outlined, just days ago, comes to fruition. The Israeli’s are in deep political trouble, as is the collective West and the United States in particular. Both heads of state (“Smitty” Trump and Nut-and-yahoo) are in political and legal peril. The proxy war in Ukraine has turned, like all other U.S. military adventures, into an abject disaster.

Meanwhile Mali, Burkina Faso and “Niger (Nigger)” have told the white supremacists to get their asses out of their lands. Latin America is decoupling from the West as are India and Pakistan (both nuclear armed). The DPRK has been restrained only by its Chinese big brother from getting up to its neck in white supremacy’s posterior. De-dollarization is taking place left and right (literally). Yemen, Iran, and a growing number of nations have made it clear that they will not tolerate the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians by Israel or “The West.”

The global minority known as “The West” is in rapid decline. In the United States domestic politics are in a shambles. In Europe, Germany is experiencing deindustrialization, an economic crisis, and the rise of right wing ultra nationalist white supremacy. This same state of political affairs is being replicated throughout Europe.

There is something known as the “Big Bang Theory” that is a theory of how the world (universe) began. According to the theory the universe began as a very hot, small, and dense super force (the mix of the four fundamental forces), with no stars, atoms, form, or structure (called a "singularity"). Then about 13.8 billion years ago, space expanded very quickly (thus the name "Big Bang"). This started the formation of atoms, which eventually led to the formation of stars and galaxies.

Lofty scientific and linguistic gobbledygook notwithstanding, there is trouble afoot that most reading this article cannot fathom. World War III could have already begun and may portend the end of the world as we know it. Though the world may continue to exist, it is going to look different. What might have started out with a bang, will quite possibly transform with a whimper.
