I just got done reading Seeds of Deception. Monsanto is truly and evil empire! How is it we can allow a corporation to get away with this crap when men are on death row for FAR lesser crimes??
UBJ- I am confused by your comment. How is blaming Johannes Mehserle for killing Oscar Grant different from blaming Monsanto for killing people through poor diets? Both are egregious offenses. I am obviously missing something here.
You are conflating two very dissimilar issues (once again). Monsanto is a company this isn't breaking any laws (for the most part) when it provides the food it provides. This isn't a criminal justice issue, it's an issue of wealth and poverty. WE should be boycotting Monsanto, and providing our own healthy food options. But can you honestly expect that of the majority of lower economic strata population? People who are economically disadvantaged are often forced to survive on substandard sustenance. If you want to blame someone, don't just blame one capitalist in the bunch, call out the whole system that supports and encourages the unequal distribution of wealth and resources.
On the other hand, a police officer, who shoots an unarmed man in the back, even accepting as valid his ridiculous excuse of thinking he had a taser rather than his gun, is most definitely a matter for the criminal justice system. The video clearly shows that the officer responded angrily and out of proportion to the actions of his victim. To call this involuntary manslaughter is an insult and a travesty of justice.
Laws created by politicians that are in bed with corporations are legal. There for not criminal. Acceptance of the rule of law alone is an agreement that what is legal is good and just? SB 510 will make it legal for government to control what one does with foods grown in one's backyard. Wait, Monsanto is behind this bill! Ok, so this will be legal. All that is legal is not lawful.
Johannes Mehserle will be released from prison in 7 months, after a Police State judge sentenced him to serve 2 years and gave him credit for time already served. People have every right to protest this miscarriage of justice.
Brother Ex is correct. Call out the entire system including God's Son.
[President Obama has taken his team of food and farming leaders directly from the biotech companies and their lobbying, research, and philanthropic arms.
Michael Taylor, former Monsanto Vice President, is now the FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods.
Roger Beachy, former director of the Monsanto-funded Danforth Plant Science Center, is now the director of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
Islam Siddiqui, Vice President of the Monsanto and Dupont-funded pesticide-promoting lobbying group, CropLife, is now the Agriculture Negotiator for the US Trade Representative.
Rajiv Shah, former agricultural-development director for the pro-biotech Gates Foundation (a frequent Monsanto partner), served as Obama's USDA Under Secretary for Research Education and Economics and Chief Scientist and is now head of USAID.
Elena Kagan, who, as President Obama's Solicitor General, took Monsanto's side against organic farmers in the Roundup Ready alfalfa case, is now on the Supreme Court.
Ramona Romero, corporate counsel to DuPont, has been nominated by President Obama to serve as General Counsel for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.]
"Awww DeeVee...you know it's just easier to blame others than it is to take responsibility for oneself." UBJ
True Black John. True.
Blame is part of it.
However, protesting "Police Brutality" on the local level galvanizes a certain segment of Plantation Negros because it is a familiar comfortable paradigm.
It is sentimental.
To some cats 'to be ... Black' is to 'resist Police Brutality'.
Seriously.
Those images are so ingrained in the minds of Plantation Negros that they limit their struggle against the Plantation to that type of battle line.
Imagine the slave who resists the brutality of his overseer ... but never escapes the Plantation.
Continues to pick cotton.
Continues to eat what the Overseer gives him.
But fights him back every couple of years.
Demanding the Plantation master "fire" or "imprison" the previous overseer ... and replace him with a NEW ... less racist ... overseer.
Black John. You ever see white boys conduct Civil War reenactments?
You know... when they dress up in the uniforms of Union and Confederate soldiers, carry Civil War era weapons, meet on the fields of Gettysburg or Appomattox and actually walk through the battle step by step?
This is a version of that for Plantation Negros.
The Civil Rights Movement, memetically, is our Civil War.
Oscar Grant had might as well be Fred Hampton for many cats.
Now. Here's what's important. And here is what Brothers Ex, and Mak miss:
The "Oscar Grant / Fred Hampton / Rodney King" reenactment is completely produced by the Plantation.
It is a Choreographed media spectacle.
It is a Marketed Meme.
The corporate media damn near announced arrests and violence before the verdict was even rendered.
Images of Urban looking vandals wearing hoods were flashed across multiple channels and platforms.
(Notice how similar these images of angry, car window breaking, black and Latino protesters ... resemble images of angry, rock throwing, Muslim militants.)
...
...
Yes.
This is a media SET UP.
This orchestrated media event is an opportunity for the Plantation to introduce America to the meme of "domestic militants".
"Urban radicals".
The same corporations that occupy Afghanistan will soon occupy Oakland.
"You are conflating two very dissimilar issues (once again)."
Nah Ex.
Not conflating issues. Expanding the discourse.
Encouraging you to stop fighting THE SAME BATTLES OVER AND OVER again.
The issue isn't "PowLeece BwuTality!"
The issue is "What is in our best interest and how to spend our resources acquiring that interest."
The Police State kills farrrrr more Black Men with food than they do with guns.
You've just been conditioned to respond to only one type of relatively elementary threat.
That's the problem with you cats who bought in to that Global System of White Supremacy nonsense ... You fight the same battles over and over and lose the same wars again and again.
On the other hand, a police officer, who shoots an unarmed man in the back, even accepting as valid his ridiculous excuse of thinking he had a taser rather than his gun, is most definitely a matter for the criminal justice system. The video clearly shows that the officer responded angrily and out of proportion to the actions of his victim. To call this involuntary manslaughter is an insult and a travesty of justice."
Agghhhhhhhh ...
I don't know about all that counselor.
The video shows an ignorant, low-IQ, poorly trained employee of the Military Police Security Industrial Complex shooting an unarmed man in the back.
He was an idiot.
He was a stooge.
Calling it "murder" is another example of you cats giving white boys Too Much Damn Power.
Black cops have shot black "perps" in similar situations.
This WASN'T a "Black vs. White" thing.
It is a Police State vs. The People thing.
You put this many cops with guns in this many places in America and you are going to get unwarranted shootings.
That's the danger of OVER policing.
If they gave this cop 100 years ... WHAT FUCKING DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE?
DV, DV, DV. One of the many things I like about you is that you are consistent as hell. You will always misrepresent my point of view, seemingly effortlessly. NOW, at what point did I make this a Black/white issue? I wouldn't care if that cop was purple, and Grant was green, wrong is wrong. It's not that we completely disagree here. Mehserle is "an ignorant, low-IQ, poorly trained employee". Far too many people in "law enforcement" fit that description. But it is the underlying culture of police work, and the systemically incestuous relationship between the enforcement and prosecutorial segments of the criminal justice system, that should pose a problem for any person of good conscience. And you and I would probably agree that this is just a symptom of a deeper problem.
What difference would it make? I probably agree with you somewhat there as well. Incarceration as a deterrent to others is arguably useless. But there does need to be some sense that justice is being served and that it works in the interests of all, showing favor to none. A far cry from what we have now. For example, a young lady here in Atlanta just got 50 years for having a car accident that resulted in the deaths of five people. Is it a plantation negro issue to feel like this is a travesty of justice? Should it matter that most of the state actors responsible for this farce are Black folks?
My initial qualm with your post (especially the suggestive title) is that to me it seems wrong for you to belittle and dismiss the actions to call attention to a miscarriage of justice. The struggle for equal justice is not simply a reincarnation of the Civil rights movement, with a 21st century reality show upgrade to keep the plantation misdirected and bamboozled. It's a centuries long struggle that has been waged in many lands by many peoples.
You want us to stop fighting the same battles over and over again? Po folks been fighting against the oppression of those who would control their lives and liberty since the beginning of civilization. You are fighting the same battle. You ready to quit?
But there does need to be some sense that justice is being served and that it works in the interests of all, showing favor to none.
Why?
Who needs to have that sense?
The whole point of the post and the media's handling of the situation is that the appearance of injustice is INTENTIONAL. It is designed to provoke a predictable response. And while the peasantry is outraged over the injustice of it all, the elite are building more prisons to house all the protesters.
The Plantation can shoot an unarmed man in the back and get away with it because the people do not fundamentally challenge the system.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.
