First they went after the poor red people

[moof]

and the white people said nothing
because they wanted the wealth of red people's land.
then they went after the poor black people
and the white people said little
because they wanted the wealth from the black people's labor.
then they went after the brown people
and the white people said little
because they wanted the wealth of oil under the brown people's land.
finally they came after the white people
but the white people objected saying "we are white"
and "they" replied
"we don't care what color you are we just want your wealth."

Yes, it's really all about power but for those that can't see that far yet, money will have to do until the realization hits them that the only power they had was the vote and that's now gone.

1. Did you write that Moof?

When I read your thread title on the main page, my first thought was "and then they went to get Black people" so lol I like it.

4. it was "moofed" from the source that "dbeach" posted below

it seems that so many people want to think they are part of the big
"THEY" and continue to cling to anything that will allow them their continued dissonance.
As was stated above it was never about skin tone
and always about power.

As Fox Mulder said once in so many words, "as long as you fear those around you, you are unable to focus on what's being done by those above you."

2. Silence is golden for the busheviks

SHOAH=Hebrew word for holocaust
http://www.christianethicstoday.com/Issue/009/First%20T...
To not speak out is to enable the events to continue..

"Martin Niemoeller's message, in its true form, carries a powerful moral impact. Telling the story and drawing the lessees of the SHOAH are weakened, not strengthened, when carelessness or self-indulgence permits a corrupted text to be widely disseminated. The true sequence, which culminates the Nazi genocide of the Jews, is both literally and morally stronger than the corrupt forms that are becoming now widespread:

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me."

6. And since you mention it,

during a discussion a few days ago a few of us wondered if since American had been willing to have a holocaust museum in America about the genocide carried out in Europe maybe the German people would return the favor and build an American holocaust museum in Germany for the
documentation, study, and interpretation of America's genocide history
carried out on the native people of North America.

It seems there are very few people in america that think it is a topic of any significance even though it ranks very high on the list of the world's largest genocides.

Not to get into genocide comparisons since the point was and remains the inability of so many humans to treat ALL other humans as they themselves would prefer to be treated no matter what any power monger says.

We are all the same and the death of any at the hands of another diminishes all of us.

7. how about a target museum..

the govt has its targets< victims is a govt word which adds sympathy..victims dont want sympathy ..they want justice against the aggressor which is the corporats}..blacks,druggies,disabled,[br />VN Vets..and many more whom the govt uses to bait the masses and keep the nation divided

Obviously I am biased but knowing the govt history is knowing the crimes that are waiting to be solved but the govt and MM keep sweeping them under the rug of history and moving on to their next crime
The day will come when the rug becomes a throw rug and all that dirt is busting loose..that will be a scary but glorious day for the Tuth seekers!!
