Ignore the well-worn narratives—they’ve been warped in a game of \"telephone.\"<br /><br />If you’re ready to look beyond the veil, read on.<br /><br />If you’d rather cling to comfort, take the Blue Pill and return to the mist.<br /><br />This collection will continue to grow. You’ve been warned.<br /><br />-J<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />...Good, let's begin<br />---<br /><br /><br />The System<br /><br />Racism in America is deeply rooted in systemic privilege and historical narratives that protect the majority while marginalizing minorities. Donald Trump’s rallying cry to \"Make America Great Again\" is an incomplete phrase—a veiled promise to “make America great again for white supremacists.” His support for groups like the “Good Ol’ Boys” is a stark example of how certain segments of society turn a blind eye to overt racism. His behavior gives his followers unsaid permission to revert to their \"default setting of hatred\" toward minorities, gender-diverse individuals, and non-Christians. For many, this is not mere oversight; it’s a conscious acceptance of prejudice in the name of protecting power.<br /><br />Empathy and Understanding Across Racial Lines<br /><br />White Americans often struggle to comprehend racism’s impact because they haven’t endured systemic oppression. Many are unable to recognize racism simply because “white people are adored by everyone”—they aren’t subjected to the same obstacles minorities face in society. In cultures worldwide, whiteness is often idealized or preferred, reinforcing privilege that keeps them shielded from the need to confront racial inequalities. This inability to empathize is why some may dismiss Trump’s racist tendencies and refuse to acknowledge their harm.<br /><br />Political Manipulation and Redirection of Blame<br /><br />Political discourse has devolved into \"two apes tossing shit at each other to see what sticks,\" rather than focusing on real issues. Today’s debates are rife with deflection, aggression, and lies, especially from politicians who refuse to address their own party’s flaws. For example, promises to \"bring jobs back to America\" or \"secure the border\" are common tactics, crafted to appeal to nationalist sentiments while diverting attention from corporate exploitation that affects all workers, regardless of nationality.<br /><br />White voters are often conditioned to vote based on emotional triggers like fear, anger, and frustration, all while blaming “outsiders” or “others” rather than addressing the root of their grievances. This deflection keeps issues superficial and shields those in power from meaningful accountability.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Racism as a Tool of Control<br /><br />Racism and division have historically served as tools for oppression and control in America. When white settlers first expanded across the continent, biowarfare was used to dismantle Native populations, notably through smallpox-infected blankets, weakening their resistance and enabling violent conquest. This exploitation set the tone for later treatment of marginalized groups.<br /><br />Mexican and Latino communities were not spared. Entire territories were taken by force, as white settlers waged a crusade under the justification that Indigenous and Mexican people were somehow “unworthy” of the land. Trump’s presidency echoed this mindset, creating detention centers eerily reminiscent of concentration camps, where immigrant families were separated, and children were detained as though prisoners of war. These actions not only stripped people of their humanity but also recalled the dark methods used in Nazi Germany.<br /><br />Racism continues as a systemic means of enforcing white supremacy, pushing minority communities into lives of insecurity and vulnerability. While overt actions like internment camps are disturbing enough, subtler forms of structural racism maintain this power imbalance—whether through unequal education, restricted economic opportunities, or police profiling. This control is a powerful tool, one used to keep marginalized groups from achieving true equality and self-determination.<br /><br />The Role of Unity in Achieving Real Change<br /><br />True change requires solidarity and resisting the tactics designed to divide us. To move forward, we must reject distractions, biases, and rivalries that prevent unity. It's not about “Black” or “Brown” lives individually—it's about every marginalized life. We should accept no support that comes with conditions or seeks to control our movement. Real progress demands autonomy and integrity, allowing us to work together toward a shared goal: real, unconditional freedom for all.<br /><br />Rising Above Through Unity and Purpose<br /><br />Our movement must be one of focused, organized action. Destructive riots and chaos only harm our communities and do not advance our cause. Fighting for change requires discipline, organization, and goals rooted in more than just anger. We can’t let their belittling narratives define us. This is not merely about surviving oppression; it’s about securing a future where all marginalized people are uplifted.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Biowarfare and the Threat of Viral Research<br /><br />The use of biowarfare as a means of control has evolved dramatically since the days of colonial expansion. During the early 20th century, this dark legacy continued with events like the “Spanish flu,” which, contrary to popular belief, did not originate in Spain. It spread initially through U.S. military ranks stationed abroad, and soon, the flu devastated populations across the globe. This manipulation of viruses for political gain set a precedent, establishing biowarfare as a weapon to destabilize societies and maintain power.<br /><br />In modern times, viral manipulation and laboratory research have only become more sophisticated—and more dangerous. COVID-19, for instance, was reportedly engineered through gain-of-function research that combined elements of SARS (bird flu) with specific modifications to increase its contagion and resilience among humans. These modifications, conducted under extreme secrecy, created a virus capable of spreading easily among humans, destabilizing economies, and creating social unrest.<br /><br />Worse, there are those in extremist circles who envision using race-targeting viruses to eradicate populations they deem undesirable. White supremacist factions, with their historical focus on racial “purity,” would be the ones to craft and deploy such viruses in a twisted effort to eliminate minorities. The irony is that any mutation in a man-made pathogen could spiral out of control, jeopardizing humanity as a whole in a catastrophe reminiscent of “The Last of Us” or “Resident Evil.” Humanity would become vulnerable to extinction, undone by the very forces it unleashed.<br /><br />Unchecked viral research is a danger to global health and stability. Those funding and supporting viral labs claim they act in the name of “research,” yet these pursuits are almost always underpinned by profit and power. When we hear of incidents like apes “escaping” labs or genetically modified mosquitoes being released, it serves as a stark reminder that these experiments are not under our control. The most insidious threat lies in the hands of those who exploit viral research as a tool of racial or political power—a legacy of biowarfare that, if left unchecked, could doom us all.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Voting and the Pursuit of Real Change<br /><br />Voting is often seen as a \"win\" or \"loss,\" with people choosing candidates to “prove themselves right” rather than for meaningful change. This mindset—“voting for a winner” instead of someone who aligns with one’s beliefs—undermines democracy itself. If more people voted outside the two-party system, choosing Green Party or independent candidates, it could shift the political landscape. When only the “ignorant Republicans who vote red out of anger” support mainstream parties, the rest of the population could collectively redirect America toward true progress.<br /><br />Voting is about improving the country, not feeding an ego. Real change comes when we prioritize values over labels and vote for what truly matters: equality, justice, and reform.<br /><br />The Flawed Voting Systems: Popular Vote and Electoral College<br /><br />Both popular voting and the Electoral College fail to truly represent the democratic ideals they claim to uphold. Neither system accurately reflects the voice of the people, often leaving citizens feeling unheard or misrepresented.<br /><br />Popular voting, ironically, could be more accurately named “outnumbered voting.” It isn’t as straightforward as simply tallying individual votes to select a winner. Instead, the system relies heavily on arbitrary state boundaries and majorities within each state. Rather than every vote being counted equally, the process focuses on the majority’s preferences in each state. If one party (red or blue) holds a higher percentage in a state, all votes from that state are shifted to represent the majority’s view. In effect, your vote isn’t counted as much as it’s overridden by what’s more popular in your region.<br /><br />The Electoral College is equally flawed. After gathering all votes, the final decision is handed to a small group of “electors”—often upper-class individuals subject to influence, bias, or even outright bribery. These electors decide for the entire state, opening up further risks of favoritism and corruption at the highest levels.<br /><br />So, whether it’s popular voting’s majority-rules method or the Electoral College’s delegation of power to the few, the outcome is often the same: individual voices are drowned out by larger interests. In this system, our votes are either swallowed up by the majority or subject to outside influences.<br /><br />What we need is a true “popular vote” based on individual votes made by each citizen—without arbitrary territories or electors standing in the way. A fair, straightforward voting system that counts each vote equally, without loopholes that enable manipulation, is the only way to ensure every voice is genuinely represented. Anytime a system is overcomplicated, it’s likely hiding deceptive tactics beneath the surface. It’s time for a voting system that finally makes all of us heard, not an all-or-nothing game with the odds stacked in favor of the house.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />The Struggle Against Class and Racial Oppression<br /><br />While Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for a peaceful approach of \"turning the other cheek,\" this phrase has often been misinterpreted as endorsing passive acceptance of abuse. It was intended as a strategy for minor grievances—not as a response to widespread, systemic oppression. The Black Panthers, on the opposite end, embraced armed self-defense, which also had its drawbacks by sometimes escalating violence without achieving long-term change. What we need today is a middle-ground approach: a disciplined resistance focused on dismantling the corporations and systems that drain our communities and escalate prices for profit.<br /><br />Instead of lashing out randomly or passively accepting injustice, we must target the real sources of suffering—upper-class businesses that exploit our communities while increasing their wealth. We must resist nonsensical policies like tariffs, which raise prices for us under the false promise of lowering costs or punishing importers. The truth is that corporations will use these tariffs as an excuse to raise prices, ensuring that only consumers suffer while manufacturers and corporations remain unaffected. To achieve real change, our fight must be organized, targeted, and unyielding against those who continually oppress us.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />\"Woke\" and the Weaponization of Awareness<br /><br />The term “woke” originally represented an awareness of social and political issues, encompassing racial injustice and systemic manipulation. Yet, Republican elites strategically redefined it, dismissing it as a “virus” and reducing it to a platform for mindless complaints. This redefinition acts as a mass gaslighting technique, sometimes known as the “Mandela Effect,” where meanings are altered subtly or erased altogether to influence collective memory and perception.<br /><br />This tactic isn't limited to social awareness. Definitions are now being warped to mask lab-created traits by associating them with naturally occurring ones, like the selective breeding of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are increasingly passed off as “natural” in misleading ways. Meanwhile, terms that once held power to organize and unify are distorted to undermine their credibility, reducing the perceived threat these words or movements might pose to those in power.<br /><br />During the pandemic, this tactic of redefining terms and symbols escalated. Labeling genuine awareness as misguided or dangerous, political leaders buried real issues beneath a facade of “fighting racism,” but often without authentic actions or intentions. I call this manipulation “racial appropriation,” or even a form of vocal “blackface” in modern times. It involves selectively redefining or erasing symbols significant to minorities while falsely presenting this as progress.<br /><br />A stark example is the erasure of Aunt Jemima. Far from a mere stereotype, Aunt Jemima was the first Black woman endorsed by a major white-owned company, representing a groundbreaking achievement in Black representation. Her legacy included royalties paid to her family for over a century, but by removing her image under the guise of “anti-racism,” this financial and cultural recognition was taken away, erasing a piece of history. Under the pretense of ending racism, they effectively reduced minority visibility and influence, while funneling these royalties back to corporations instead.<br /><br />This wasn’t an effort to address injustice but rather to diminish minority representation and influence—right before a white supremacist figurehead rallied his supporters. These redefined symbols and manipulated causes, disguised as ethical or social progress, are in fact a declaration of war by deception, using mass gaslighting to erase or weaken anything that threatens the control of the ruling class.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />The Fight for Economic and Racial Justice<br /><br />At its core, this is a struggle against an upper class that benefits from division and control. This upper class, along with white supremacists, habitually uses belittling terms to make us feel small, describing us as \"minorities,\" \"savages,\" \"peasants,\" and the \"lower\" or \"middle class.\" Even the word \"class\" itself is a weapon—a term designed to remind us of a supposed place in a hierarchy they’ve invented. These terms aren’t harmless; they reinforce the idea that we are somehow lesser, needing to “know our place.” But we reject these labels. We are more than the labels imposed by those who fear our unity and strength.<br /><br />Only through solidarity and strength can we dismantle the systems that profit from our separation. This fight is not just “Black Lives Matter”—it’s Brown Lives Matter, and it’s a stand against all forms of racism and oppression. Together, we are a force that cannot be dismissed.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Land of the Once Free<br /><br />Together, let’s create a future that ensures equality and justice for everyone, regardless of background. This is a stand for real change against corruption and systemic oppression.<br /><br />If you support equality for all and true, lasting change—regardless of what history or ancestry may hold—join us in signing a petition to end corruption locally, statewide, and eventually at the federal level.

Those funding and supporting viral labs claim they act in the name of “research,” yet these pursuits are almost always underpinned by profit and power. When we hear of incidents like apes “escaping” labs or genetically modified mosquitoes being released, it serves as a stark reminder that these experiments are not under our control. The most insidious threat lies in the hands of those who exploit viral research as a tool of racial or political power—a legacy of biowarfare that, if left unchecked, could doom us all.\n\n\n---\n\nVoting and the Pursuit of Real Change\n\nVoting is often seen as a \"win\" or \"loss,\" with people choosing candidates to “prove themselves right” rather than for meaningful change. This mindset—“voting for a winner” instead of someone who aligns with one’s beliefs—undermines democracy itself. If more people voted outside the two-party system, choosing Green Party or independent candidates, it could shift the political landscape. When only the “ignorant Republicans who vote red out of anger” support mainstream parties, the rest of the population could collectively redirect America toward true progress.\n\nVoting is about improving the country, not feeding an ego. Real change comes when we prioritize values over labels and vote for what truly matters: equality, justice, and reform.\n\nThe Flawed Voting Systems: Popular Vote and Electoral College\n\nBoth popular voting and the Electoral College fail to truly represent the democratic ideals they claim to uphold. Neither system accurately reflects the voice of the people, often leaving citizens feeling unheard or misrepresented.\n\nPopular voting, ironically, could be more accurately named “outnumbered voting.” It isn’t as straightforward as simply tallying individual votes to select a winner. Instead, the system relies heavily on arbitrary state boundaries and majorities within each state. Rather than every vote being counted equally, the process focuses on the majority’s preferences in each state. If one party (red or blue) holds a higher percentage in a state, all votes from that state are shifted to represent the majority’s view. In effect, your vote isn’t counted as much as it’s overridden by what’s more popular in your region.\n\nThe Electoral College is equally flawed. After gathering all votes, the final decision is handed to a small group of “electors”—often upper-class individuals subject to influence, bias, or even outright bribery. These electors decide for the entire state, opening up further risks of favoritism and corruption at the highest levels.\n\nSo, whether it’s popular voting’s majority-rules method or the Electoral College’s delegation of power to the few, the outcome is often the same: individual voices are drowned out by larger interests. In this system, our votes are either swallowed up by the majority or subject to outside influences.\n\nWhat we need is a true “popular vote” based on individual votes made by each citizen—without arbitrary territories or electors standing in the way. A fair, straightforward voting system that counts each vote equally, without loopholes that enable manipulation, is the only way to ensure every voice is genuinely represented. Anytime a system is overcomplicated, it’s likely hiding deceptive tactics beneath the surface. It’s time for a voting system that finally makes all of us heard, not an all-or-nothing game with the odds stacked in favor of the house.\n\n\n---\n\nThe Struggle Against Class and Racial Oppression\n\nWhile Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for a peaceful approach of \"turning the other cheek,\" this phrase has often been misinterpreted as endorsing passive acceptance of abuse. It was intended as a strategy for minor grievances—not as a response to widespread, systemic oppression. The Black Panthers, on the opposite end, embraced armed self-defense, which also had its drawbacks by sometimes escalating violence without achieving long-term change. What we need today is a middle-ground approach: a disciplined resistance focused on dismantling the corporations and systems that drain our communities and escalate prices for profit.\n\nInstead of lashing out randomly or passively accepting injustice, we must target the real sources of suffering—upper-class businesses that exploit our communities while increasing their wealth. We must resist nonsensical policies like tariffs, which raise prices for us under the false promise of lowering costs or punishing importers. The truth is that corporations will use these tariffs as an excuse to raise prices, ensuring that only consumers suffer while manufacturers and corporations remain unaffected. To achieve real change, our fight must be organized, targeted, and unyielding against those who continually oppress us.\n\n\n---\n\n\"Woke\" and the Weaponization of Awareness\n\nThe term “woke” originally represented an awareness of social and political issues, encompassing racial injustice and systemic manipulation. Yet, Republican elites strategically redefined it, dismissing it as a “virus” and reducing it to a platform for mindless complaints. This redefinition acts as a mass gaslighting technique, sometimes known as the “Mandela Effect,” where meanings are altered subtly or erased altogether to influence collective memory and perception.\n\nThis tactic isn't limited to social awareness. Definitions are now being warped to mask lab-created traits by associating them with naturally occurring ones, like the selective breeding of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are increasingly passed off as “natural” in misleading ways. Meanwhile, terms that once held power to organize and unify are distorted to undermine their credibility, reducing the perceived threat these words or movements might pose to those in power.\n\nDuring the pandemic, this tactic of redefining terms and symbols escalated. Labeling genuine awareness as misguided or dangerous, political leaders buried real issues beneath a facade of “fighting racism,” but often without authentic actions or intentions. I call this manipulation “racial appropriation,” or even a form of vocal “blackface” in modern times. It involves selectively redefining or erasing symbols significant to minorities while falsely presenting this as progress.\n\nA stark example is the erasure of Aunt Jemima. Far from a mere stereotype, Aunt Jemima was the first Black woman endorsed by a major white-owned company, representing a groundbreaking achievement in Black representation. Her legacy included royalties paid to her family for over a century, but by removing her image under the guise of “anti-racism,” this financial and cultural recognition was taken away, erasing a piece of history. Under the pretense of ending racism, they effectively reduced minority visibility and influence, while funneling these royalties back to corporations instead.\n\nThis wasn’t an effort to address injustice but rather to diminish minority representation and influence—right before a white supremacist figurehead rallied his supporters. These redefined symbols and manipulated causes, disguised as ethical or social progress, are in fact a declaration of war by deception, using mass gaslighting to erase or weaken anything that threatens the control of the ruling class.\n\n\n---\n\nThe Fight for Economic and Racial Justice\n\nAt its core, this is a struggle against an upper class that benefits from division and control. This upper class, along with white supremacists, habitually uses belittling terms to make us feel small, describing us as \"minorities,\" \"savages,\" \"peasants,\" and the \"lower\" or \"middle class.\" Even the word \"class\" itself is a weapon—a term designed to remind us of a supposed place in a hierarchy they’ve invented. These terms aren’t harmless; they reinforce the idea that we are somehow lesser, needing to “know our place.” But we reject these labels. We are more than the labels imposed by those who fear our unity and strength.\n\nOnly through solidarity and strength can we dismantle the systems that profit from our separation. This fight is not just “Black Lives Matter”—it’s Brown Lives Matter, and it’s a stand against all forms of racism and oppression. Together, we are a force that cannot be dismissed.\n\n\n---\n\nLand of the Once Free\n\nTogether, let’s create a future that ensures equality and justice for everyone, regardless of background. This is a stand for real change against corruption and systemic oppression.\n\nIf you support equality for all and true, lasting change—regardless of what history or ancestry may hold—join us in signing a petition to end corruption locally, statewide, and eventually at the federal level.

You’ve been warned.<br /><br />-J<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />...Good, let's begin<br />---<br /><br /><br />The System<br /><br />Racism in America is deeply rooted in systemic privilege and historical narratives that protect the majority while marginalizing minorities. Donald Trump’s rallying cry to \"Make America Great Again\" is an incomplete phrase—a veiled promise to “make America great again for white supremacists.” His support for groups like the “Good Ol’ Boys” is a stark example of how certain segments of society turn a blind eye to overt racism. His behavior gives his followers unsaid permission to revert to their \"default setting of hatred\" toward minorities, gender-diverse individuals, and non-Christians. For many, this is not mere oversight; it’s a conscious acceptance of prejudice in the name of protecting power.<br /><br />Empathy and Understanding Across Racial Lines<br /><br />White Americans often struggle to comprehend racism’s impact because they haven’t endured systemic oppression. Many are unable to recognize racism simply because “white people are adored by everyone”—they aren’t subjected to the same obstacles minorities face in society. In cultures worldwide, whiteness is often idealized or preferred, reinforcing privilege that keeps them shielded from the need to confront racial inequalities. This inability to empathize is why some may dismiss Trump’s racist tendencies and refuse to acknowledge their harm.<br /><br />Political Manipulation and Redirection of Blame<br /><br />Political discourse has devolved into \"two apes tossing shit at each other to see what sticks,\" rather than focusing on real issues. Today’s debates are rife with deflection, aggression, and lies, especially from politicians who refuse to address their own party’s flaws. For example, promises to \"bring jobs back to America\" or \"secure the border\" are common tactics, crafted to appeal to nationalist sentiments while diverting attention from corporate exploitation that affects all workers, regardless of nationality.<br /><br />White voters are often conditioned to vote based on emotional triggers like fear, anger, and frustration, all while blaming “outsiders” or “others” rather than addressing the root of their grievances. This deflection keeps issues superficial and shields those in power from meaningful accountability.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Racism as a Tool of Control<br /><br />Racism and division have historically served as tools for oppression and control in America. When white settlers first expanded across the continent, biowarfare was used to dismantle Native populations, notably through smallpox-infected blankets, weakening their resistance and enabling violent conquest. This exploitation set the tone for later treatment of marginalized groups.<br /><br />Mexican and Latino communities were not spared. Entire territories were taken by force, as white settlers waged a crusade under the justification that Indigenous and Mexican people were somehow “unworthy” of the land. Trump’s presidency echoed this mindset, creating detention centers eerily reminiscent of concentration camps, where immigrant families were separated, and children were detained as though prisoners of war. These actions not only stripped people of their humanity but also recalled the dark methods used in Nazi Germany.<br /><br />Racism continues as a systemic means of enforcing white supremacy, pushing minority communities into lives of insecurity and vulnerability. While overt actions like internment camps are disturbing enough, subtler forms of structural racism maintain this power imbalance—whether through unequal education, restricted economic opportunities, or police profiling. This control is a powerful tool, one used to keep marginalized groups from achieving true equality and self-determination.<br /><br />The Role of Unity in Achieving Real Change<br /><br />True change requires solidarity and resisting the tactics designed to divide us. To move forward, we must reject distractions, biases, and rivalries that prevent unity. It's not about “Black” or “Brown” lives individually—it's about every marginalized life. We should accept no support that comes with conditions or seeks to control our movement. Real progress demands autonomy and integrity, allowing us to work together toward a shared goal: real, unconditional freedom for all.<br /><br />Rising Above Through Unity and Purpose<br /><br />Our movement must be one of focused, organized action. Destructive riots and chaos only harm our communities and do not advance our cause. Fighting for change requires discipline, organization, and goals rooted in more than just anger. We can’t let their belittling narratives define us. This is not merely about surviving oppression; it’s about securing a future where all marginalized people are uplifted.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Biowarfare and the Threat of Viral Research<br /><br />The use of biowarfare as a means of control has evolved dramatically since the days of colonial expansion. During the early 20th century, this dark legacy continued with events like the “Spanish flu,” which, contrary to popular belief, did not originate in Spain. It spread initially through U.S. military ranks stationed abroad, and soon, the flu devastated populations across the globe. This manipulation of viruses for political gain set a precedent, establishing biowarfare as a weapon to destabilize societies and maintain power.<br /><br />In modern times, viral manipulation and laboratory research have only become more sophisticated—and more dangerous. COVID-19, for instance, was reportedly engineered through gain-of-function research that combined elements of SARS (bird flu) with specific modifications to increase its contagion and resilience among humans. These modifications, conducted under extreme secrecy, created a virus capable of spreading easily among humans, destabilizing economies, and creating social unrest.<br /><br />Worse, there are those in extremist circles who envision using race-targeting viruses to eradicate populations they deem undesirable. White supremacist factions, with their historical focus on racial “purity,” would be the ones to craft and deploy such viruses in a twisted effort to eliminate minorities. The irony is that any mutation in a man-made pathogen could spiral out of control, jeopardizing humanity as a whole in a catastrophe reminiscent of “The Last of Us” or “Resident Evil.” Humanity would become vulnerable to extinction, undone by the very forces it unleashed.<br /><br />Unchecked viral research is a danger to global health and stability. Those funding and supporting viral labs claim they act in the name of “research,” yet these pursuits are almost always underpinned by profit and power. When we hear of incidents like apes “escaping” labs or genetically modified mosquitoes being released, it serves as a stark reminder that these experiments are not under our control. The most insidious threat lies in the hands of those who exploit viral research as a tool of racial or political power—a legacy of biowarfare that, if left unchecked, could doom us all.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />Voting and the Pursuit of Real Change<br /><br />Voting is often seen as a \"win\" or \"loss,\" with people choosing candidates to “prove themselves right” rather than for meaningful change.

This is not merely about surviving oppression; it’s about securing a future where all marginalized people are uplifted.\n\n\n---\n\nBiowarfare and the Threat of Viral Research\n\nThe use of biowarfare as a means of control has evolved dramatically since the days of colonial expansion. During the early 20th century, this dark legacy continued with events like the “Spanish flu,” which, contrary to popular belief, did not originate in Spain. It spread initially through U.S. military ranks stationed abroad, and soon, the flu devastated populations across the globe. This manipulation of viruses for political gain set a precedent, establishing biowarfare as a weapon to destabilize societies and maintain power.\n\nIn modern times, viral manipulation and laboratory research have only become more sophisticated—and more dangerous. COVID-19, for instance, was reportedly engineered through gain-of-function research that combined elements of SARS (bird flu) with specific modifications to increase its contagion and resilience among humans. These modifications, conducted under extreme secrecy, created a virus capable of spreading easily among humans, destabilizing economies, and creating social unrest.\n\nWorse, there are those in extremist circles who envision using race-targeting viruses to eradicate populations they deem undesirable. White supremacist factions, with their historical focus on racial “purity,” would be the ones to craft and deploy such viruses in a twisted effort to eliminate minorities. The irony is that any mutation in a man-made pathogen could spiral out of control, jeopardizing humanity as a whole in a catastrophe reminiscent of “The Last of Us” or “Resident Evil.” Humanity would become vulnerable to extinction, undone by the very forces it unleashed.\n\nUnchecked viral research is a danger to global health and stability. Those funding and supporting viral labs claim they act in the name of “research,” yet these pursuits are almost always underpinned by profit and power. When we hear of incidents like apes “escaping” labs or genetically modified mosquitoes being released, it serves as a stark reminder that these experiments are not under our control. The most insidious threat lies in the hands of those who exploit viral research as a tool of racial or political power—a legacy of biowarfare that, if left unchecked, could doom us all.\n\n\n---\n\nVoting and the Pursuit of Real Change\n\nVoting is often seen as a \"win\" or \"loss,\" with people choosing candidates to “prove themselves right” rather than for meaningful change. This mindset—“voting for a winner” instead of someone who aligns with one’s beliefs—undermines democracy itself. If more people voted outside the two-party system, choosing Green Party or independent candidates, it could shift the political landscape. When only the “ignorant Republicans who vote red out of anger” support mainstream parties, the rest of the population could collectively redirect America toward true progress.\n\nVoting is about improving the country, not feeding an ego. Real change comes when we prioritize values over labels and vote for what truly matters: equality, justice, and reform.\n\nThe Flawed Voting Systems: Popular Vote and Electoral College\n\nBoth popular voting and the Electoral College fail to truly represent the democratic ideals they claim to uphold. Neither system accurately reflects the voice of the people, often leaving citizens feeling unheard or misrepresented.\n\nPopular voting, ironically, could be more accurately named “outnumbered voting.” It isn’t as straightforward as simply tallying individual votes to select a winner. Instead, the system relies heavily on arbitrary state boundaries and majorities within each state. Rather than every vote being counted equally, the process focuses on the majority’s preferences in each state. If one party (red or blue) holds a higher percentage in a state, all votes from that state are shifted to represent the majority’s view. In effect, your vote isn’t counted as much as it’s overridden by what’s more popular in your region.\n\nThe Electoral College is equally flawed. After gathering all votes, the final decision is handed to a small group of “electors”—often upper-class individuals subject to influence, bias, or even outright bribery. These electors decide for the entire state, opening up further risks of favoritism and corruption at the highest levels.\n\nSo, whether it’s popular voting’s majority-rules method or the Electoral College’s delegation of power to the few, the outcome is often the same: individual voices are drowned out by larger interests. In this system, our votes are either swallowed up by the majority or subject to outside influences.\n\nWhat we need is a true “popular vote” based on individual votes made by each citizen—without arbitrary territories or electors standing in the way. A fair, straightforward voting system that counts each vote equally, without loopholes that enable manipulation, is the only way to ensure every voice is genuinely represented. Anytime a system is overcomplicated, it’s likely hiding deceptive tactics beneath the surface. It’s time for a voting system that finally makes all of us heard, not an all-or-nothing game with the odds stacked in favor of the house.\n\n\n---\n\nThe Struggle Against Class and Racial Oppression\n\nWhile Martin Luther King Jr. advocated for a peaceful approach of \"turning the other cheek,\" this phrase has often been misinterpreted as endorsing passive acceptance of abuse. It was intended as a strategy for minor grievances—not as a response to widespread, systemic oppression. The Black Panthers, on the opposite end, embraced armed self-defense, which also had its drawbacks by sometimes escalating violence without achieving long-term change. What we need today is a middle-ground approach: a disciplined resistance focused on dismantling the corporations and systems that drain our communities and escalate prices for profit.\n\nInstead of lashing out randomly or passively accepting injustice, we must target the real sources of suffering—upper-class businesses that exploit our communities while increasing their wealth. We must resist nonsensical policies like tariffs, which raise prices for us under the false promise of lowering costs or punishing importers. The truth is that corporations will use these tariffs as an excuse to raise prices, ensuring that only consumers suffer while manufacturers and corporations remain unaffected. To achieve real change, our fight must be organized, targeted, and unyielding against those who continually oppress us.\n\n\n---\n\n\"Woke\" and the Weaponization of Awareness\n\nThe term “woke” originally represented an awareness of social and political issues, encompassing racial injustice and systemic manipulation. Yet, Republican elites strategically redefined it, dismissing it as a “virus” and reducing it to a platform for mindless complaints. This redefinition acts as a mass gaslighting technique, sometimes known as the “Mandela Effect,” where meanings are altered subtly or erased altogether to influence collective memory and perception.\n\nThis tactic isn't limited to social awareness. Definitions are now being warped to mask lab-created traits by associating them with naturally occurring ones, like the selective breeding of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which are increasingly passed off as “natural” in misleading ways. Meanwhile, terms that once held power to organize and unify are distorted to undermine their credibility, reducing the perceived threat these words or movements might pose to those in power.\n\nDuring the pandemic, this tactic of redefining terms and symbols escalated. Labeling genuine awareness as misguided or dangerous, political leaders buried real issues beneath a facade of “fighting racism,” but often without authentic actions or intentions. I call this manipulation “racial appropriation,” or even a form of vocal “blackface” in modern times. It involves selectively redefining or erasing symbols significant to minorities while falsely presenting this as progress.\n\nA stark example is the erasure of Aunt Jemima. Far from a mere stereotype, Aunt Jemima was the first Black woman endorsed by a major white-owned company, representing a groundbreaking achievement in Black representation. Her legacy included royalties paid to her family for over a century, but by removing her image under the guise of “anti-racism,” this financial and cultural recognition was taken away, erasing a piece of history. Under the pretense of ending racism, they effectively reduced minority visibility and influence, while funneling these royalties back to corporations instead.\n\nThis wasn’t an effort to address injustice but rather to diminish minority representation and influence—right before a white supremacist figurehead rallied his supporters. These redefined symbols and manipulated causes, disguised as ethical or social progress, are in fact a declaration of war by deception, using mass gaslighting to erase or weaken anything that threatens the control of the ruling class.\n\n\n---\n\nThe Fight for Economic and Racial Justice\n\nAt its core, this is a struggle against an upper class that benefits from division and control. This upper class, along with white supremacists, habitually uses belittling terms to make us feel small, describing us as \"minorities,\" \"savages,\" \"peasants,\" and the \"lower\" or \"middle class.\" Even the word \"class\" itself is a weapon—a term designed to remind us of a supposed place in a hierarchy they’ve invented. These terms aren’t harmless; they reinforce the idea that we are somehow lesser, needing to “know our place.” But we reject these labels. We are more than the labels imposed by those who fear our unity and strength.\n\nOnly through solidarity and strength can we dismantle the systems that profit from our separation. This fight is not just “Black Lives Matter”—it’s Brown Lives Matter, and it’s a stand against all forms of racism and oppression. Together, we are a force that cannot be dismissed.\n\n\n---\n\nLand of the Once Free\n\nTogether, let’s create a future that ensures equality and justice for everyone, regardless of background. This is a stand for real change against corruption and systemic oppression.\n\nIf you support equality for all and true, lasting change—regardless of what history or ancestry may hold—join us in signing a petition to end corruption locally, statewide, and eventually at the federal level.
