"Creepy" [View all]
"I don't know if I like communism, and I don't know if I like socialism. But I know that the Breakfast for Children Program feeds my kids. And if you put your hands on that Breakfast for Children Program …..”
Fred Hampton (8-30-48 to 12-4-69)
If I had one recommendation for young people today, it would be to study Fred Hampton. In 1967, the FBI deemed him a radical threat to the country. Note that in Chicago, he had created the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-racial group that recognized fascism and economic warfare as the primary threat to low-income and middle class communities. Thus, law enforcement brutally murdered him on this date in 1969.
Hampton recognized that positive actions needed to accompany bold speaking. Thus, he knew the Breakfast for Children Program was essential. Thus, I think his legacy should serve as food for thought for all of us. This is not because, as an old man, I am stuck in the past. The exact opposite, because there are children without enough food for a healthy diet, I am focused upon the future.
“They are doing something to you because they feel threatened in some way by your existence.”
Nur Omar Mohamad to his daughter Ilhan Omar
The above quote was a father's understanding of why some individuals were cruel to his daughter in school. His daughter went on to become an advocate for children having nutritious food in her state. She became more politically active. At a precinct caucus she organized in 2014, she was assaulted by a group of five people, suffering a concussion. It required her going to the hospital.
Then she became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, she has become a favorite target of the felon and his cult. I think her description of the felon's obsession with her as “creepy” is right on target. The Social Science Research Council has stated that Rep. Omar is the primary target in DC for internet hate speech. The brain-dead are convinced she is trying to impose Shariah law in this country, failing to grasp their hero is both lawless and sending federal troops to American cities to inflict fear and injuries to the public.
Two maga-ites running in her district said Rep. Omar should be hung. There have been people arrested for threats against her life. In recent days, the felon has been stirring the pot of ignorance and hatred, resulting in yet another increase in threats. He wants someone – or group – to kill her. My concern is less with the idiots who make threats on the telephone and/or internet, than with the quiet, capable, extremely sick individuals who might think it their duty to their president.
Thus, if you have a couple bucks, I encourage you to donate to Rep. Omar, as she has to pay for increased security at this tense time.
