I Read The News Today. Oh, boy....
Three young black men have been arrested in Colorado for the unprovoked, brutal beatings of three white men as they slept in their homes, in separate incidents that occurred during a tragic two-hour spree of random, senseless violence in suburban Denver. One of the victims, a prominent Littleton attorney, died from his injuries six hours later, his head swollen to three time its normal size.
According to witnesses, the black youths--one age 17, and two age 18--allegedly sought out prosperous white victims completely at random, based on the size of their homes, and battered the victims in the head and torso areas with tire irons and other blunt objects as they slept, using lethal force. Witnesses describe the young attackers as "smiling and laughing" as their startled, unarmed victims struggled in vain to fend off multiple attackers. "They were laughing the entire time. They were enjoying it, like it was fun or something," said the deceased victim's wife, who witnessed the attack but was not harmed.
Public outrage over the sheer inhumanity of the attacks has fueled demands that prosecutors pursue the death penalty, even before the three men had been arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
Meanwhile, it is beginning to emerge that similar random violence by black youth against white men has been increasing over the past decade all across the nation, yet the media has largely failed to report it. As one telecommunications manager in Chicago said, "This has been going on for far too long. Everyone knows it. But nobody wants to talk about it or do anything about it. It seems like each night I feel more and more afraid to go to sleep. Who knows what you could wake up to?"
Lawyers for the alleged assailants have already begun to establish a defense for their clients in the media, citing broken homes, drug use, and boredom as "just a few of the many social diseases that ultimately led these basically good kids to do some truly awful things."
At least one prosecutor disagrees: "I find it absolutely reprehensible that anyone would even suggest that simple boredom, or a divorce in the family, or a conscious decision among the perpetrators to use drugs, could somehow justify the inhuman brutality of bludgeoning a defenseless stranger to death while the victim peacefully sleeps in his residence, with no motive other than pure, unadulturated hate. There is no reasonable explanation for this crime, unless you are willing to use the word 'evil'."
Although publicly, prosecutors have been quiet about whether or not they intend to pursue the death penalty, legal analysts say that the death penalty is almost a certainty for all three men in this case.
You may wonder why I would post news of brutal attacks and murder here, in the American Debtors Prison blog. The reason is because there is a striking similarity between the way our legal system treats "deliquent" debtors, who have committed no crime, and the way it treats those who are accused of committing the most savage of felonies.
The three assailants in this news story are black, and there remains to this day a vast disproportion of black prisoners to white prisoners on death row across the United States. The racism inherent in our legal system's decisions on whether or not to pursue the death penalty for similar crimes is perfectly evident to anyone courageous enough to face that reality. In this particular case, people were calling for the death penalty even before the alleged assailants had been arrested or charged with any crime at all--yet after they had been identified by witnesses as being black.
The exact same thing happens in the American Debtors Prison. Financial service industry propaganda has focused exclusively on debtors who default for any reason as being "delinquents" or "deadbeats", while entirely avoiding the significant matter of just who initiated the problem by consciously agreeing to risk a financial loss by loaning money to consumers in the first place. The industry certainly never mentions the vast amount of resources it devotes to researching and producing rhetoric, propaganda, and psychological manipulation of consumers that is necessary in order to convince otherwise responsible consumers to enter into debt obligations--a euphemism for indentured servitude, or slavery.
In other words, "delinquent" debtors have been demonized by financial service industry propaganda in the media to the point where there is an inherent bias--a negative "gut" reaction--against any debtor who defaults for any reason--even if their job was downsized or outsourced to communist China, they were incapacitated in an accident, suffered gross hardship from a divorce or death of a spouse, or any other reason that is completely unrelated to the debtors desire and intent to repay their debts in full.
If you don't believe me, try the following experiment. I have separated various words and phrases into two categories below, and the connotation (emotional "feel") of each category is obvious. Ask yourself honestly, do you feel comfortable moving any of these words or phrases from one category to the other?
The question is, why would you feel that "Delinquent Debtor" is so very different from "Philanthropist", "Hero" or anything else in the first category that you cannot imagine moving it away from murderers, criminals and terrorists? Recall the recent NACBA report that showed 79% of debtors in financial trouble are in trouble because of circumstances "beyond their control"--death of a spouse, incapacitating illness, loss of job to downsizing, etc. Why would you rather classify someone who was unable to work because they were involved in a terrible car accident alongside murderers and terrorists, rather than moving them alongside heros and presidents?
After all, before that car accident, that debtor might have been doing the work of a saint--and might still be doing the work of a saint, infosar as it is possible under the circumstances?
The answer, quite simply, is that decades of carefully orchestrated financial service industry propaganda in the mass media has conditioned Americans to feel distaste whenever they hear the phrase "delinquent debtor". Notice that I said feel--not think. When you use your mind and think for yourself, you begin to realize that each debtor has their own unique circumstances. And only then might you recognize that bad things happen to truly good people which prevents them from being able to repay debts that they have every desire and intent to repay.
Trapped in an endless blizzard of media images about "members" having "privileges", and repeated assertions that only those who pay their bills on time are "responsible" consumers (rather than irresponsible debtors), we have been trained like Pavlov's dog to have an emotional, gut reaction every time we hear the words, phrases and euphemisms that financial service industry propaganda has programmed us to feel uncomfortable about.
And it is precisely this programming that allows the financial service industry to cast sane, sober, hard-working, responsible American citizens into the American Debtors Prison, with no means of escape by non-miraculous means, and in full view the the world--all without anyone even noticing.
This is an example of exactly the same fundamental principle of propaganda that allows a white supremist organization to raise children who feel nothing except digust, contempt and hate whenever they see a black person. It's a gut reaction; they aren't thinking at all. Pavlov's dog.
If you think you are so well-educated, so great a thinker, and so intuitive that you could never fall for such simple-minded brainwashing by people who serve evil interests in this world, then consider this question carefully: What was your "gut" reaction to public demands that the three black men in the news story above receive the death penalty? Don't just feel the answer, but take a moment to truly think about it. Be honest with yourself, even if you are an opponent of the death penalty on principle.
The simple truth is, if you are white, there is an overwhelming likelihood that deep down, in your gut, you felt that these three black men deserved to die (or at least receive excruciating punishment) for their crimes.
Excruciating punishment, and death, are also characteristics of the American Debtors Prison, which supposedly only applies to "deadbeats" and "deliquents".
If I haven't already made my point clear, then consider this. The news story above about brutal beatings in Littleton, Colorado is fictional. I made it up. There is no epidemic of young black men senselessly beating prosperous white men all across the United States. It never happened. However, something equally tragic did happen. Here are the known facts of that case:
It was actually three well-to-do upper middle class young white men from a city called Plantation, Florida (seriously), who are alleged to have randomly sought out minority homeless men to brutally beat and kill with baseball bats, while smiling and laughing, on the sole basis that they believed homeless persons are inherently "deadbeats", something less than human. Other than changing a few details, the brutality, savagry, and senselessness of these crimes was exactly the same as described above. The head of the victim who died six hours after being beaten (Norris Gaynor) had swollen to three times it's normal size. And the white kids who did it laughed. Their names are William Ammons, Brian Hooks, and Thomas Daugherty.
Yet there is no public outcry for these three young men to receive the death penalty. In fact, news media reports have all but exonerated these three savages by repeatedly pointing out that they came from broken homes, were bored, and smoked pot. It wasn't their fault. Something must have went wrong in their utopian, suburban upbringing that led to their "mistake". They were basically good kids who did an awful thing. They weren't evil. They weren't black. They weren't homeless. They weren't "delinquent debtors".
And so the media struggles to determine what went wrong with these young white men, what happened to them, rather than what they did. This quest for external influences that are beyond a person's control is something that the media never conducts when describing "mistakes" made by blacks, the homeless, or debtors who default. That is why there are vastly more blacks on death row than whites. That is why there are 3 million homeless people in the wealthiest nation the world has ever seen. And that is why no one acknowledges the existence of the American Debtors Prison until they have experienced it from the inside, as an inmate.
Freedom begins in the mind, and Americans have had their minds utterly brainwashed by financial service industries to believe that anyone who defaults on a debt for any reason deserves the ultimate punishment: The American Debtors Prison--a fate that may be worse than death.
It is time for Americans to wake up and begin thinking for themselves again, rather than allowing gargantuan corporations that control the mass media to program them how to feel. Only then will we stop modern day atrocities like racism, homelessness, and the American Debtors Prison.
By the way, there is, and has been for many years, an epidemic of savages beating homeless people for "fun", or out of sheer hate. This has gone on across America for years. But homeless people are not prominent attorneys, so the media has never concerned itself with this ongoing abomination.
Lastly, it is noteworthy to mention that a surprisingly large number of America's 3 million homeless people are otherwise sane, sober, responsible, good citizens, and hard-working. The only reason they don't have a home is because the are inmates in the American Debtors Prison.
But you won't see that in the mass media either--until I have completed the American Debtors Prison film.
All the best,
Paul
