The George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin controversy

George Zimmerman was a petty neighborhood vigilante who enjoyed looking for trouble and made ultimate trouble by stalking Trayvon Martin instead of minding his own business.

Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old smart Alec punk, which is typical of many adolescent males, who probably mouthed off to Zimmerman.  Whether he provoked it or not is unknown, but he probably did not say anything to Zimmerman until he noticed Zimmerman stalking him.

As this blog has touched upon previously, a teenager is not a "child" in Indigenous American culture.  Adolescence is the first stage of adulthood--not the last stage of childhood as non-indigenous societies in America tend to treat that age group both socially and by legal definition.  Under-age teens who have consensual sex with adults are labeled as "victims" by the legal system and the media even though in many instances it is the teen who solicits the sex from the adult, and in most cases not for money or favor.  They are just attracted to older people.

Much of the African-American community has made the Trayvon/Zimmerman case a race issue when it really is not.  Trayvon Martin is about 7/8 black and George Zimmerman is 1/8 black. His father is German-American and his mother is a Peruvian "criolla" (creole).  A Latin American creole is one who is a tri-racial mixture of sub-Saharan African, Amerindian, and European.  One of George Zimmerman's  Peruvian great-grandfather's was Afro-Peruvian.

Zimmerman identifies as "Hispanic"--a generic term which like the term "Latino," has come to replace the terms "mestizo" and "creole".  Most of those of Latin American origin who identify themselves as Hispanic or Latino tend to be mixed race people who do not want to identify as either white or indigenous. Latin American mestizos are those who are a varying degrees of mixed European and Amerindian.

The vast majority of crime and violence committed against African-Americans are commited by African-Americans; i.e., "black-on-black" crime.

Even though Zimmerman has far less African genes than Trayvon Martin, the incident that Zimmerman instigated between he and Trayvon was nevertheless a black-on-black incident. Here are some more facts:

 - George Zimmerman has other black family members--some of whom have lived with him at some point.

- George Zimmerman's high school prom date was an African-American girl.

 - George Zimmerman voted and campaigned for Obama.

 - George Zimmerman and his black friend opened an insurance company in Florida.

- George Zimmerman launched a campaign to help a homeless black man who was beaten up by a white kid.

 - George Zimmerman mentored young black males.

The "Stand Your Ground" law in Florida is another issue. Perhaps it is too lax and general, although Indigenous American traditionalists are opposed to most gun control laws. Indigenous Americans were the reason the first gun control laws in the U.S. came into existence, in that it became illegal for whites/non-Indians to sell, trade, or provide guns and ammo to Indian tribes.

Zimmerman was found "not guilty" by a jury of five white women and one "Hispanic" woman.  Perhaps a cerain amount of racial bias had something to do with their decision, although oficially they had to judge the case within the framework of Florida's Stand Your Ground law in relation to the use of a firearm.

The system of temporary involuntary servitude known as "jury duty" needs to be replaced by three judge panels for all criminal trials.  Family court legal decisions should also be heard by three judges instead of just one, and even civil suits that are tried in public courts in lieu of private courts of binding arbitration should be heard by three judges.

The mullato Barack Obama is one of the most incompetent presidents that has ever occupied the White House and has become more of a nanny police statist and global interventionist than the non-intellectual George W. Bush was. Every time Obama speaks out about Trayvon Martin, he sticks his foot in his mouth.  If I were to issue him an academic grade of A,B,C,D, or F for his performance as POTUS, it would be a "D". The only reason he doesn't get an "F" is because he has been politcally correct as of late on equal rights under the law for homosexuals. As this blog has addressed previously, homosexuality and "two spirit" people are not taboo in traditional Indigenous American cultures.

I don't believe that the majority of African-Americans today are racist towards white Amerikaners or other races, but the majority do seem to be content in segretating themselves socially from whites in particular due to differences in cultural attitudes and social tastes, although interracial marriage between blacks and whites has been on the rise in recent decades. 

The hyposcrisy of some African-American "leaders" and a lot of African-American communities across the U.S. consist of them making a martyr out of Trayvon Martin while ignoring other herrendous black-on-black crimes that have included young black male thugs mugging and brutally beating up old black women on the street or in an elevator, for instance.  The brief video commentary by this African-American gentleman pretty much sums it up:

Settlers are not immigrants--they are occupiers



...«the narrative of nativists and white supremacists who see themselves as the first and only legitimate “immigrants” to a territory given to them by God as a “white nation,” making border enforcement and continued repression “legitimate” and necessary components of any agreement on immigration reform. 

Settlers are not immigrants—they are occupiers. But of course this inconvenient fact is not part of the colonial fantasy that passes as U.S. history nor is it considered by the proponents of the path to citizenship».

Gun control laws don't do any good
























Most advocates of stricter gun control and gun prohibition in the United States today are white left-of-center progressives.

 Indigenous Americans were the first victims of white man gun control laws. It was illegal even into the early 20th century for non-Indians to sell firearms to Indians. Although they risked the death penalty, there were nevertheless white black market arms traders that provided guns and ammo to Indian tribes in exchange for Indian-produced products that were of value to whites in America and abroad such as furs, hides, blankets, jewelry, etc. It was only because Indians were outnumbered that the "west" was lost in the long run to the white man. Had Indigenous American tribes had no guns at all, the Euro invader spawn conquest of the west would have come a lot sooner.

After the Civil War, the Ku Klux Klan lobbied for gun control laws in the South that would prevent African-Americans from purchasing and possessing most calibers of firearms.

Whenever there is enough demand for a good or service that is illegal, there is a black market to supply it, with firearms and ammo being no exception. Even psychopaths and terrorists in nations with the strictest of strictest gun prohibition laws where only police and military can possess firearms, can eventually get their hands on them when they want to bad enough. Even if they couldn't, they would revert to concocting homemade explosives, which can result in even more casualties.

 The first school massacre in the United States occurred in 1927. It was billed as "The Bath School Disaster" in Bath Township, Michigan, in which a school board member used dynamite to blow up much of the school with children and staff on the premises.

 The more well-armed a citizenry is, the more it deters crime and violence against persons and property.

Gun control and gun prohibition advocacy operates on emotion and short-sightedness rather than pragmatic reasoning. Responsible gun control is the exercise of self-control in the way of handling and securing firearms and ammo properly and making sure they remain out of the reach of children.

Much ado over octo-mom



Non-plural traditional Indigenous American marital relationships that consist of just one man and one woman have for the most part never resulted in large numbers of offspring. Two or three kids at the most.

Even today, diluted Indians of Latin American origin known as mestizos, and who because of their self-racism towards their indigenous genes and ancestors prefer to identify themselves only by their national origin or as "Hispanic" or "Latino", are even having smaller families in spite of 500+ years of breeding-large-families religious indoctrination by the foreign Church of the Conquista (Roman Catholic). The whacky theology of Mormonism also encourages the fleshly incarnation of as many spirit babies as possible through homosapien breeding.

Nadya Suleman, the 33-year-old American of Arabic and Lithuianian origin, is now a mother of 14 after she chose to have a half a dozen embryos implanted through in-vitro fertilization by a physician in her home state of California. She gave birth to six boys and two girls on Jan. 26, 2009. The babies were all born nine weeks premature and were delivered through Cesarean section. They weighed between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces.

Her reason to the media for wanting to hatch so many eggs has been, "All I wanted was children...I wanted to be a mom. That's all I ever wanted in my life."

She and her California physician, who implanted the embryos, have come under scrutiny for the implantation of the six embryos, two of which split in utero, being that she is an unemployed single mother who lives with her mom. She has also been criticized for being the recipient of $490 dollars a month in public food stamps.

She launched a website on February 11, 2009 to ask the public for financial help in raising her litter, which is good, being that it is not fair to taxpayers to have to support her psycho-obsessive-compulsive maternity disorder that apparently can only fulfill her emotional needs for companionship in lieu of a romantic partner. (The same sperm donor reportedly fathered her previous litter as well).

The main page of the baby-themed site has pictures of the latest eight of her 14 hatchlings, and "thank yous" to the public, although the only clickable links are those to make credit card donations or to leave comments, which are kept private.

The website takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, or you can just send a big fat check directly to her publicist, whose address and phone number is listed.

Meanwhile, Ms. Bugg's Bunny, according to her publicist, has received death threats from Neanderthals (most likely white racists who think she's Mexican) who are obviously not Catholics, Mormons, or anti-abortion fanatics, for spawning so many kids, and has since moved to another location.

Now the question is, will she seek and receive effective psychotherapy so she can say for sure in relation to her reproductive skills,

Abortion

Most Indigenous American cultures, including my own, believe that each human being possesses an inorganic soul, and that the soul does not incarnate into the body until birth during the first breath of life outside of the womb. Therefore, abortion has never been taboo in most Indigenous American societies.

Back in the old days, and among "primitive" societies today, Indigenous American women exercised abortion as a means of birth control during the first trimester with the use of a special blade made of stone or bone that was inserted into the uterus. Medicinal plants referred to in Mesoamerica as "purgas" were used to help induce an abortion as well.

Some non-Indigneous American religionists believe that the soul incarnates into an embryo upon conception, or at some point when it develops into a fetus prior to birth. Most people who are opposed to abortion and who do not want it legal base their argument against abortion on that belief.

There are other people who are ethically opposed to abortion on the grounds that it potentially robs humanity of a human being who might end up contributing to the betterment of humankind significantly in some way, such as another Eienstein or someone who develops a cure for a disease. However, that category of anti-abortion proponent tends not to be opposed to the legalization of abortion, though, realizing that on the other hand, an abortion might be sparing the world from a potential evil tyrant like Hilter or Pol Pot, etc.. They also tend to respect from a legal standpoint a woman's right to choose whether she wants to go full term with a pregnancy or not.

From a scientific standpoint, a fetus cannot survive outside of the womb prior to the third trimester without artificial life support, and fetal brain activity is not fully active until about the seventh month of development. Some "pro-choicers" thus advocate that abortion ought to be legal up through at least the end of the second trimester.

Some people do not believe in a soul, and as just pointed out, there are varying beliefs by others about at what point it incarnates into the body, which cannot be proven scientifically. Therefore, abortion should be a matter of individual conscious on the part of the embryonic/fetal host, and not on the part of government legislators or the host's parents, even if she is an adolescent minor.

As for birth control and family planning, Indigenous Ameicans by-and-large never over-populated because they would abstain from sexual relations with the opposite sex during certain seasons. Europeans and some other cultures even used to use dried sheep intestines as condoms. Most Indigenous Americans today continue to suppport methods of family planning, and the utilization of various artifical means to prevent unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Atheists & Indigenous American Heathens


Guest article from the Malcolm Laguache website:

GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR

I am an atheist and I neither hide the fact nor am I ashamed. My nonbelief comes from much research, thinking, and experiences in life. I have no mental problems about my atheism and I feel no emptiness inside, despite reading numerous articles from religionists saying we have no morals and we are bitter people.
A couple of years ago, a weekly publication in San Diego interviewed me about my opposition to a 43-foot Christian cross that has been paid for by public money since 1954. The magazine also interviewed a few Christians on the subject.
Each Christian denigrated atheists and said we are just bitter human beings. When it came to the part about me, the writer said, "Many Christians think atheists are constantly serious and bitter because of their nonbelief. Not so with Malcom Lagauche, however." He then went on to write about my sense of humor and encompassing philosophy.
My writing about religion sticks up for itself. I have questioned certain dubious historical points that religion seems to ignore or twist to their own advantage. I have criticized certain individuals for using Christianity as a reason for attacking Iraq. And, I have criticized many non-Muslims for their lack of knowledge of Islam and how they portray it as a "terrorist" religion.
Just recently, for the first time in my 10-year tenure as president of the Atheist Coalition of San Diego, I told a person he was not welcome and I would not allow him to attend meetings. First, he has never forked over the 20 bucks it costs for membership and second, I don’t believe he is an atheist because he constantly spoke in a positive manner about the Christians taking on the "dirty Muslims."
Last week, a repair man was working in my house when he started telling how all Muslims should be killed. Within a minute, he was gone and I called his company to complain. The telephone conversation was fruitless because his boss agreed that Muslims should all disappear.
In the past few years, I have lost acquaintances who were anti-Muslim when I challenged their assessment of Islam. In other words, I have been one of Islam’s best friends in discussing and writing about religious subjects.
However, I now have to state that certain Muslims have gone too far in disagreeing with those who would denigrate Islam. According to an article in Al-Jazeera news of January 29, 2006, called "UN Urged to Ban Attack on Religion,":
The Muslim world’s two main political bodies say they are seeking a UN resolution, backed by possible sanctions, to protect religions after the publication in Scandinavia of cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad.
Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of Organization of the Islamic Conference, said in Cairo on Sunday that the international body would "ask the UN general assembly to pass a resolution banning attacks on religious beliefs."
The deputy secretary-general of the Arab League, Ahmed Ben Helli, confirmed that contacts were under way for such a proposal to be made to the UN.
Twelve cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad, published in Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten daily last September and reprinted in a Norwegian magazine earlier this month, sparked uproar in the Muslim world where images of the prophet are considered blasphemous.
The cartoons include portrayal of the prophet wearing a time-bomb-shaped turban and show him as a wild-eyed, knife-wielding bedouin flanked by two women shrouded in black.
First of all, blasphemy can only apply to a believer. If a Muslim drew the cartoons, it would constitute blasphemy. However, if a non-Muslim drew them, it is definitely in poor taste and lack of knowledge of Islam, not blasphemy. I explain this constantly to my Christian friends. How can I blaspheme something in which I do not believe? In addition, to an atheist, blasphemy does not exist: criticism, vile portrayals, stupidity, ignorance, etc. apply, but not blasphemy. Only a believer in a certain religion can blaspheme that religion.
A Qatari cooperative society, Al Meera, has the right idea: boycott Danish and Norwegian goods. Already, some Scandinavian companies have said they are feeling the strength of the boycott.
Boycott the offending companies until the go out of business. Criticize the cartoonist so he looks like dog feces in his industry. But, don’t go to the UN and have a resolution banning religious criticism. If a government openly denigrates a religion, then some form of sanctions should apply, but not for newspapers, writers or cartoonists.
I have heard many Muslims denigrate Christianity. So, if a resolution is passed, then they will be just as guilty as the nitwits who demonize Islam.
In the U.S., many Native American religious rituals are criticized by Christians. So are Hinduism and Buddhism. Many stupid cartoons have been published depicting non-Christians as mindless barbarians who believe in outlandish myths. Who calls the shots on placing an embargo on a country for religious bigotry?
A few months prior to 9-11, my group, the Atheist Coalition of San Diego, invited a Muslim to speak to us about the perception of Muslims in the U.S. He took a few weeks and researched data bases of newspapers and came up with some outstanding conclusions and proof of anti-Islamic reporting. He then added, "Before I was asked to speak, I knew little about atheists or atheism, so I researched the perception of atheists in the U.S. as well as Muslims. You guys are worse off than we are." Everybody laughed, but we knew he was right.
In the U.S., every day is a struggle for atheists. Despite 93% of the membership of the National Academy of Science being atheist and numerous great actors, philosophers, artists and writers also, we are looked down upon by most U.S. citizens, many of whom are miniscule compared to us in the area of intellect.
The cartoon at the beginning of this article is popular in the U.S., especially on automobile bumper stickers. To me, this is just as offensive as the depictions of the prophet by the Scandinavian magazine. We can not avoid such illustrations and statements. They abound in the U.S.
However, I would find it quite ridiculous and futile to take the case to the UN. It shows the blatant ignorance of those who think in such a manner. But, maybe it would be a good idea. Just think if the UN placed sanctions on the U.S. for bigotry against atheists (and there is much at all levels of society, including elected officials), the rest of the world would become much safer.
