In the United States, from the newly formed 13 colonies to the social societies of the Old West to present-day groups, there have been protest marches. People have marched in the streets for too many causes and too many reasons to even name them all. But a few that come to mind are the suffrage marches for women's equal rights.
The freedom marches of the civil rights movement and numerous anti-war marches. There have been anti-war marches and KKK marches. More recent Gay marches and anti-abortion rights and right-to-life marches.
There are also marches to advance the Liberal Democrat party's goals, which can influence voters through peer pressure.
More recently, there is the videos coverage of costumed clowns, accompanied by hundreds of mini-minded followers of the ICE protests, who may regret it in time.
There are also the parades that many people have come to look for. Peaceful, colorful, enjoyable, and happily American, and other celebrations. I am thinking of the Christmas parade, the New Year's Day Parade. The Easter Parades of my childhood. Today's Saint Patrick's Day Parade. There are dozens more parades, including the classic car parade that I once watched and enjoyed.
There are a hundred other little ideas for going on a protest. Most people have better luck forming lobbying groups formed by the same people they march with. This directly reaches those who can change the laws to suit their way of thinking.
It still takes a majority to influence the change. The difference is that you don't get arrested. You don't look like a jackass in the newscasts that will be all over the screens for years. when they drag you out, tear-gassed, maced, and labeled as a criminal. That may give you street cred, but if you came to me for a job, I would pass you over. I don't need that in my company. No human resources manager worth their salt would either.
Then, more interesting marches like the time backed up to a store's dock to unload. The loading guys all walked out to the dock at once. I looked at them and asked, "What's up, guys?" They formed a pointed finger to the street, and several dozen topless women were marching with their, um, err, signs, yeah, that's it, signs, held up high and proud to get your attention in the cold air, marching down the street. What a sight to see, though some of those particular marchers should have had second thoughts before this action.
The past Year has been The antifa trying to usurp our country by riots and violent insurrection takeovers in our city streets of the blue states. Even to blocking citizens' streets to interrogate them without the authority to do so.A violation of the citizens' rights. Not unlike terrorists in their own countries.
Only recently has Washington done anything to even acknowledge that it is a threat to our country. Finally, hunting the members down and prosecuting them. Our places of worship are now being invaded for profitable terrorism by agitators to gain the spotlight in delusions of grandeur. Terrorizing the worshipers while attempting to destroy the religion on which the American country was based.
Then, soon after visiting a mosque and respectfully record how beautiful the interior is and how peaceful it is. The message is obvious/Yhe words from this source have proven themselves.
Many of those in the street are paid by an Billionaire ex-patriot who now lives in China. He has some kind of axe to grind with the country that made him what he is. In another time, they would be called sympathizers or collaborators. It is a shame that Pam Bondi and people from the DOJ don't have a little talk with him. But then George Soros wasn't bothered either now, was he? President Trump's election is changing many of the world's countries in ways the voters have prayed for. Perhaps in good time that will also change.
No matter the source, whether money, propaganda, or a homemade bomb, Its stil terrorism in one form or another
There is no difference in weapons, whether bullying by video or more deadly methods; it is a non-removable injury, mentally or physically, to those being victimized by terrorists. You can put the bullets back in the gun, and the action is pure terrorism. It stays in the minds of those involved. Bringing legal action can prevent further victims. That's if the legal system's agents are not sympathetic to the terrorists, as it appears many are these days.
Those who are preventing the functioning of our country's legal system might need a bit of counseling from those who DO have the authority. whether politicians or judges have ideas of subverting the office of an elected President.
WE THE PEOPLE have the power to change even that idea.
Even Judges can be disciplined or removed from their ivory towers by only 3 verified complaints to the Chief Judge in many states, from a mere state resident who writes them with a description and something to back up the complaint. If they have actually been misusing their office and power. Look it up if you don't believe it. I know people who have done it. You are not without power if you use the system.
The average citizen has been told by their parents and the system that they are not qualified to rise above situations. So get some folks together and take control. The Constitution started that way. But out in the street, the only thing you're accomplishing is self-destruction.
There is a never-ending following of those who believe they should become frustrated and just give up control of things they believe in. I suggest that if it truly is your belief in whatever. Do your research on that opinion/belief. Find facts on what's written from both sides of your idea. spend the time to educate yourself and arm yourself with the tools you aren't even aware you will need till it's too late. YouTube and other sites may indeed hold information, but much of it is there to profit from clicks. Your life is worth more than clicks for possible Bullsh*t that may complicate your life. Take the time to learn
So many people have been brought up to think less of themselves than they should. You need to believe that you have more value than you have had beaten into your brain box. If you have time and energy to protest and possibly be killed, don't you think that energy will also carry you into a place to make actual progress for your cause?
Use that same energy you're wasting on time to learn how to move inside the same system you are protesting. Learn who and how to put your words and ideas into actions that actually work.
Even the mega-giant Google isn't dominant over you if you find a way to work under, over, around, or through a block to your progress. There's an old saying that may sound silly, but think about it. When the world hands you lemons, make lemonade.
The DOJ has done that with a certain personality who saw street protests and used video bullying as a tool to control people. Learn by example, folks. Recently, Pam Bondi and the DOJ took a Lemon to court for participating in a terrorist act. Proves my point.
This is a simple way of when the world tells you it can't be done, find a way to do it. Bring out that more realistic MacGyver in yourself. If you hit a negative/block in your path, see that block and why it's negative. Use the negative to find alternatives. There's always a way. If you don't see that way right at the moment, step back, do some actual research, and move forward in whatever direction works to your advantage. Napoleon Hill,
That's the only way to navigate this ever-growing world of Hostility and chaos. The days of chaotic freedom disguised as rights we knew only a decade ago are slipping into history more rapidly than anyone could have foreseen.
I don't believe in doomsday predictions as such. It won't do anyone any good to look forward to that anyway. Live in the moment, just in case you don't pass this way again. But have a backup plan in place for the future, just in case you need it. Adopt, adapt, and adjust to compensate. It's the way to change things without sitting on a limb you're cutting off. That's what protesting in the street is today. People see you marching and dancing, raising hell, and see you much differently than in the past.
I will leave you, dear reader, with this thought: If you don't like something, change it. If you don't think you have that power, study where and how it comes from. If it's legit, use it; it worked for others. You're no different, except you haven't taken the time to find resources to learn how to travel that path.
In the words of one of my mentors, which I understood far too late in life, Napoleon Hill, Within you lies the power to seize the hour and live your life your dream.
I leave you to decide, Dear reader. My blog readers are rising, and again, if there's something you'd like to hear, please comment. I haven't been paid or compensated for my 20 years of articles across various platforms. I do this because I love to write.
I have been told that if I were to write at an 8th-grade level, I could shovel repetitive articles that flood the media as news. and echo that on every platform, I could make a fortune.
My AI just told me most folks reading blogs are just that. 8th-grade mentalities. I beg to differ with it. To read is to gain knowledge, and knowledge is the power to change the world. Please read mine too
Till next time, Dear Readers
