Alabama, Flags, Freedom of Speech, and 9-11
by Mary W Maxwell, LLB
This is ridiculous. The University of Alabama belongs to a very educated state. Its dean of students, an African American man, James Riley, has just stepped down as a result of a tweet he made. Nobody should be stepping down anywhere over tweets they make. Excuse me, hello-o, this is America!
On this particular patch of land known as the USA we say what our brain tells us to say and that's how we get good things going. I'init? Granted, if the dean had tweeted "I hate everybody at the University of Alabama," someone should suggest that he consider looking for a different job. But what he said was an opinion that any black -- OR WHITE -- American is entitled to hold. He said (not in these exact words):
"When I see the old stars and stipes a-flappin' in the wind, sometime it makes me said, as I associate the power of the federal government with the bad treatment Blacks got for years -- and, by the way, still are getting in many ways."
Aren't we allowed the emotion of sadness anymore? Aren't we allowed to be sad that our police are trained to be as disrespectful as possible to the citizens? Aren't we allowed to see the flag as "us" -- warts and all? What the Sam Hill are we supposed to see when the flag is a-flappin' -- apple pie? a one-room schoolhouse? Iwo Jima? the Grand Canyon? the Emancipation Proclamation?
You can see what you like. I see Gitmo, among other things. I see the whole kit and caboodle of our Bill of Rights, and the safety we used to feel. Boy, did we feel safe. Now we have to put up with stupidity, selfishness, and a bunch of lying liars.
Dean James Riley's actual tweet, made in September 2017 -- he had been appointed dean in February 2019 -- was:
"The flag represents a systemic history of racism for my people. Police are a part of that system. Is it that hard to see the correlation?"
We up here in the white stratosphere may think the civil rights movement solved everything. Did not. Did not. Recall the COINTELPRO papers that came out around 1970, revealing what the FBI was getting up to? "Racist" isn't the word. Maybe the word should be "combat." Certainly in the bedroom of Fred Hampton, combat was the correct word. (I mention bedroom only because that is where he was sleeping when the "authorities" killed him.)
Listen to this sentence: "Common tactics used by COINTELPRO were perjury, witness harassment, witness intimidation, and withholding of evidence."
You'll never guess who said that -- Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia of all people said that (retrieved today, swearda God, September 10, 2019).
The book "Truth At Last," by Lyndon Barsten and John Ray, has proven that the feds killed MLK. It weren't whites that done it either, certainly not the tragically mistreated convict James Earl Ray.
It was -- oh never mind if you don't know what difference does it make. It was black traitors, I believe. Color is no bar when it comes to treachery. But whoever did it did it because of well, the flag. Riley got that one right.
Today "the flag" is going after Muslims. Please see my book "The Soul of Boston and the Marathon Bombing." (Freely downloadable at GumshoeNews.com) "WWM" -- walking while Muslim -- is not good for your health.
I think we should have more respect for our beloved flag. We ought to stick together. The Rev should have said "I may not get there with you, but I'd certainly have a better chance of it if you would protect me against ...er... the flag."
OK. Now let's get down to what is really killing us. Every person in the contiguous 48 plus the other two states (and isn't Ms Tulsi a treat!), and the territories, is in for the big punishing any day now. This is because we keep letting Our Killers get away with absurd lies. Check this out:
An article in Foreign Affairs magazine, in June of this year -- eighteen years after 9-11 -- said:
"For U.S. intelligence agencies, the twenty-first century began with a shock, when 19 al Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes.... In the wake of the attack, the intelligence community mobilized with one overriding goal: preventing another 9/11. ..."
What? Preventing another 9-11 was the goal? No it wasn't. Doing many more 9-11's is the goal.
"19 al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four planes" ????
Dear Fellow Americans, if you continue to let them say that, you are dead in the water. The only way we are going to get on top of things is to refuse to let officials talk like that.
(The authors of the Foreign Affairs article are not officials. They are simply ...oh, I haven't met them. I don't know if they're malicious or just thick, or what. Maybe they have been hypnotized. It's all the rage, you know.)
Are you young? Please run for office. Be a good Republican. I ran for US Senate in 2017 in Alabama. (See MaxwellForSenate.com). Alabama will have another senate opening there in 2020. I hope ex-Dean James Riley gives it a try. We need people who are not intimidated by political correctness.
Please Folks, these problems are not going to go away. You have to jump into the fray. Here is how one 22-year-old, Diane Nash, did it in Selma, Alabama. Very businesslike. Very American. Very chutzpah. Very Bill of Rights. Very God-fearing type thing:
