Is Voting Enabling Black Power or Black Powerlessness? Less Than 1 Month After the 1st Black Woman is Sworn in as LA Mayor, LAPD Murder 2 Black Men and 1 Latino Man in City Dominated by White Liberals

ELECTING BLACK ROLEBOTS HAS NO EFFECT ON WHITE SUPREMACY. From [HERE] The Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday said it has launched investigations into the deaths of three men after encounters with their officers. In two of the cases, the officers shot and killed the civilians.

The LAPD said its officers fatally shot 45-year-old Takar Smith on Jan. 2 and 35-year-old Oscar Sanchez on Jan. 3. Also on Jan. 3, 31-year-old Keenan Anderson died hours after a struggle with police officers in which he was shocked with a stun gun. The department released body-worn camera video of the three incidents Wednesday. The Smith and Anderson incidents look like murders by cops.

“Full investigations are underway, and I pledge that the City's investigations into these deaths will be transparent and will reflect the values of Los Angeles,” Mayor Karen Bass said in a press release. “I will ensure that the City’s investigations will drive only toward truth and accountability. Furthermore, the officers involved must be placed on immediate leave.”

Bass was sworn in on December 10, 2022. She is the first woman and the second Black person, after Tom Bradley, to serve as mayor of Los Angeles.

Bass extended her condolences to the families of Smith, Sanchez and Anderson. She added that she had “grave concerns about the deeply disturbing tapes” released Wednesday. [MORE]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

voting – a pacification (sucker) process which allows the votary to make choices provided to her/him, not decisions. 2) a “privilege” of U.S. citizens to do it behind a curtain—as long as they do it alone. 3) political masturbation exercises for those who can’t cop real power. 4) a habitually accepted imposition that gives the votary-vassal-suckers an illusion of inclusion or participation. 5) an act of self-abuse. People mistake their voting for their voice—as the voice of the people is seldom, if ever, their own. While some died fighting for the privilege (not right) to vote or not to vote, they were restricted and therefore had no choice in the matter. If voting was a right, no one would ever have had to lose his or her life in a struggle to exercise that right. The Voting Rights Act of 1964 demonstrates that voting is a civic privilege (franchise) bestowed upon a people instead of the act of voting being an inherent right where exercise of the option to vote is one’s own decision without an attached obligation (compulsion) or expectation (compunction). We need to establish and assert our economic rights and declare our “endependence” by designing, collectively owning, controlling and administering our own systems of monetary and economic exchange (that funktion in the interests of its creators and participants) so as to take ownership of our bodies, labor, and fruits of our mental assets in the form of substantive rights receipts (circulating “money” in electronic form or circulating cash). Whoever creates the symbol that acts as a claim on your labor or wealth (in the absence of any other competing system of exchange) is the true owner of same—and you remain a slave to their system of unjust enrichment for exploitative gain. When we learn to vote with our own “money” and control the systems wherein economic power is wielded, political voting will be seen for the wholesale fraud and sham that it really is so that you may one day respect yourself the morning after voting. Voting in elections (especially at the national or federal level) is an expression and confession of our powerlessness over our daily affairs, options and interests. We must dispense with the ritual of voting as the archetypal expression of freedom, equality and participation. Voting without having economic rights and control of substantive rights is voting fraud—you get what you got laid for—a royal screwing (Phillips or Flathead) and it’s your own undoing. [MORE]
