Even after Cesar Sayoc (click here) was sentenced for his Trump-inspired attacks White Supremacists/Nationalists maintain focused on overthrowing the government through a civil war. It is proven Trump's hate speech does increase the danger to citizens and the government.
The people I hear talking about the reason for actions to protect "freedom" are brainwashed and "believe" in misinformation. The truth is always under attack by the right-wing media. The fact is citizens of the USA HAVE A RIGHT TO BE FREE OF DISEASE.
Public health by the USA started very early in the new democracy.
1798 - Congress passes the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen (click here) and authorizes formation of the US Marine Hospital Service (MHS), which was the forerunner of the Public Health Service. Seamen often became ill while at sea and often were unable to find adequate health care in port cities. Their health was viewed as essential to the developing country, and a network of marine hospitals, mainly in port cities, was established by Congress in 1798 to care for sick and disabled seamen. Seamen were taxed 20 cents a month in order to raise funds to pay physicians and support the network of hospitals. This tax was abolished in 1884. From 1884 to 1906 funds were raised by a levy on merchant ships, and after 1906 funds were allocated by the US Congress.
For centuries the "New World" was conquered with the assistance of smallpox (click here) in biological warfare. Health is a national security priority. The healthier the population, the less the misery and more loyalty of the people to their government regardless of the government. Dying prematurely is not a natural thought by any human being. Longevity in the love of life has always been the status of mental health and in that is the allegiance of most countries to fighting disease, the USA among them. Due to the wealth in the USA and it's brain trust and infrastructure investment in health care, the USA HAS often been a partner to other countries to reduce and remove disease. Heck, Bill and Melinda Gates have taken on that wisdom and has vaccinated most of Africa. They are great Americans with the means to help and do.
American health has been a strong reason for an industry to develop decades ago. The pharmaceutical industry wasn't always a part of the USA landscape. The medical focus when it came to building community hospitals and inspiring "good health" with the development of medications, treatments, and growing specialties began in the 1950s. Medicine was once very rudimentary, but, today it is highly sophisticated. It just didn't end with the growth of the medical community, it became necessary for Americans to be educated to their ability to be healthy, stay healthy, and with that live longer.
Today, the country has to ensure that promise developed a long time ago with the allowance of SARS-CoV-2 into the borders of the USA. That means when the public health authorities provide guidelines for continued healthy living IT IS POLICY. I might add with all the investment the USA has made into health care it is not among the healthiest countries in the world. According to a study by Conte Naste Traveler January of 2020 (click here) the USA isn't even among the top 10 healtiest countries, Spain holds that title.
There is an entire group of people in the USA undereducated about their health, their choices and the policies by the USA during a global pandemic of a virus that kills and maims. Yet, when it comes to their acquired permanent disabilities they will be turning to the USA government to help with their lives. Why is that ignorance allowed? It is not only allowed it is cultivated by right wing politics. Talk about people in politics that simply don't care about others and are focused on their own creature needs and comforts; how has the Repbulican party lasted this long?
Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer faces hate as never seen before in modern America. The hate within the Michigan Militias has been cultivated for a deranged idea of causing violence within the USA so Donald Trump can hold onto the power of the USA presidency. The people he influences do not carry traditional beliefs and cultures of the USA regarding guns and allegiance to the USA.
If my memory serves me right when George W. Bush came into office there was a raid on militias that obtained and owned missiles. Imagine that still being among the population of the USA. The people who lost their military munitions and then faced charges and prison for their passions were extremely verbal about their ideas of freedom.
Today, the remnants of those extreme definitions of American freedom is making it to the surface of the USA society. That definition of violence to enforce those ancient ideas is not at all the legal and best definition of freedom, yet the political right embraces it because it is votes. So, to satisfy those that vote for their right to violence and civil war, those in office provide greater and more and ridiculous gun rights. The definition of gun ownership defined as hunting and self and home defense has morphed into the strengthening of militias' gun ownership to actually confront Michigan sovereignty in seeking to kidnap, transport interstate and pupt on a faux trial and kill a governor. Just one governor? Or was the Michigan governor to be the first?
Freedom is not defined by how heavily armed an American is, it is quite the opposite. Freedom is about domestic peace and tranquility in the USA so such violence becomes a distant idea of history.
This is the end of it. Going forward Americans have to retake the best definition of gun ownership and it does not include a milita membership.
It was almost predictable a violent AGENDA of a wrongful president backed by hostile foreign power would inspire the rise of militias and violence. Do you know where such paradigms exist and have not been brought under control? For as long as I can remember Africa has been based in stong men and their military prowess. CHILD SOLDIERS. That is where this is leading. A civil war in the USA will completely undermine any kind of small business economoy. The small businesses will belong to the strong man with the most bullets.
Assaulting the well being of a preciding governor is HUGE. It is THE REASON to end this maniacal and preverted ideology that has polluted the minds of Americans and provide for the end of SARS-CoV-2 in the Americas. A strong stand against violence in the USA must prevail. I look forward to the day USA law enforcement only NEEDS a six shooter and even that only leaves it's holster for practice.
Live with this reality. The people seeking violence to ensure Trump's his new residence in the White House DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE. Got that? They don't even care about Trump. If they were ever successful to spark a civil war what would the incidence of COVID-19 look like?
The people hugging the ideology of assaulting the US Pose Office regardless of status in the USA, the idea to creating violence to ensure the power of the presidency to end an election and the stupidity of defining freedom as facing "herd immunity" as an economic soldier are perverted as is Trump. There is nothing normal about his focus. That is a fact and everyone knows it.
People seeking power that don't readily find it in their lives have attached themselves to Trump for all the wrong ideas. Lies are law. Ridding the USA of a priority of providing citizen safety discarded. The only thing that matters is that they have lived for a false ideology and now finally they will receive relief for their pitiful lives of drudgery and very hard work when they can find it. They are the USA IMPOVERISHED. They are not only fiscally impoverished they are socially impoverished. They may never be able to lift themselves out of lives of failure. They and their families, especially their children DESERVE the attention of this country and insuring they have health care at the time of a global pandemic killing thousands of Americans is a good beginning. It doesn't end there. The Americans impoverished MUST take priority to bring a reason to live a good and successful life.
We have done it before. We assaulted the Appalachians and I think we still fund places the people find a joy and accomplishment. At least we did before Trump and if not, there is a good reason for an investigation. That focus changed their lives and not their community. It improved their outcomes. They are happy today. Their children make it to state universities and they are brilliant.
Along with actually embracing the needs by this country to focus on it's weak spots we need to take on wealth inequality. We need to raise people out of poverty into good wages and PROMISE of "The American Dream." There are many, many places AND STATES in need of that focus. We need to raise states like Mississippi out of poverty and provide for the people's promise they have yet to achieve in this country.
I am going to stop here. I could go on and on about the current state of readiness of the USA to accomplish these DOMESTIC tasks. The wayward Trump administration and it's really bad management of the Executive Branch has provided one rainbow in those criminal storms, a country ready to be rebuilt. We need to BE REAL about the promise this country was built on and we need to reject poverty at every turn. I am sure I will find a reason to continue this essay at some time in the near future.
END THE VIOLENCE.
END THE POVERTY.
ENSURE THE PROMISE!
