Withheld Evidence In A Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Against The Secret Service Must Be Pretty Bad
 

secretservice.jpgTypical Bush administration. A class action lawsuit alleging racial discrimination against black U.S. Secret Service agents has been on hold for seven years because the government, which has been sanctioned twice, refuses to turn over evidence, even though it has been requested by a judge more than 20 times.

On Monday Robinson will hear arguments about whether to sanction the government yet again, this time for stating in sworn declarations that the service does not archive "unofficial" interpersonal e-mails when, in fact, it does archive them, according to court documents.

The delays have frustrated the plaintiffs, who allege that white agents routinely leapfrog over black agents despite higher scores on promotional exams, and black agents are sent undercover because it is assumed they talk the "street" language and where a white "good ol' boy network" prevails.

Those work conditions couldn't really inspire black agents to take bullets for the president, could they? But that's probably why they're sent undercover, instead. [AJC]

Justice calls for evidence to be used in court. If Bush withholds evidence, he commits obstruction of justice, it seems to me.

Today, for the most part, the manner in which African Americans confront White racism is very outdated. In fact, it may be compared to the example of an old prize fighter shadow boxing in the corner of a ring long after, and totally unaware that his opponent has moved behind him now pulverizing him from the rear; or it may be compared to that of a matador in a bull fight waving his red cape in the wind attempting to taunt the bull to attack him not realizing that the bull has already done so having gouged out his heart. These examples, although very brutal, are very appropriate in describing how Black America is faring against today’s modern, and much more sophisticated, system of White racism.

Today, unfortunately, whenever the topic of racism is discussed among African Americans, this implies (for most) the images of police brutality, consumer profiling, driving while Black, and, of course, the Ku Klux Klan and other similar White anti-Black organizations. While these are all serious elements of institutionalized racism that collectively deserve our attention, these noted racist elements are neither the most prevalent nor the most detrimental form of racism faced by African Americans today. Because the blatant methods, of assuring that its White dominance be maintained, used and condoned in the past are no longer morally and socially acceptable, the U.S. Government secretly implemented a far more sophisticated method of maintaining its white dominance. In fact, one may compare America’s old system of white racism- used against African Americans in the past– to that of its modern type by saying that the previous system had a GED while today’s methods has a PHD. For today’s system is for more sophisticated, elaborated and proficient then any system of racism previously faced by African Americans-even slavery. Today’s modern method of white racism in the United States is now secretly applied through the government’s proven method of Covert Counterintelligence Program [COINTELPRO: A misnomer for Domestic Covert Actions.]
Although the formal COINTELPRO covert operations employed by the FBI directed against African Americans during the period of 1956-1971 was discontinued [upon the surface]. However, in truth–because the nineteen sixties were a period of massive black rebellion and unrest that caused the U.S. Government to feared the uprising of a violent revolution– the FBI did not actually cease its formal domestic counterintelligence programs against African Americans, but instead actually advanced it by targeting it more broadly and secretively. Today there is a far more sophisticated and massive counterintelligence program being implemented against the entire African American population as a means of ensuring that white dominance be maintained in the United States.
Because the U.S. Government’s sociologist and psychologist were well aware of the fact that those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable, it became necessary to create a more sophisticated system of white racism that deliberately wears only the appearance, if any, of being totally self afflicted by African Americans themselves. A system of white governmental racism that is implemented through the American educational, judicial and prison systems– that prevails and is concealed through the usage of Psychological Warfare implemented through the national media that fosters a consensual environment for its unethical undertaking. By doing so, the United States Government acquired a far more insidious and covert method of ensuring that its white dominance is maintained that exists behind a clever shroud of secrecy and deceit — for it is in this way that the evils of racism thrive best — when its victims do not recognize the evil.

While although this modern method of governmental white racism covertly uses the American educational system to mortifyingly mis-educate and disesteem black students and the judicial and prison systems to severely reduce black growth and upward mobility by reducing black America’s ability to procreate and to vote thus to maintain its white dominance. However the most significant and detrimental aspect of this modern system of white governmental racism used today in America is its aspect of using psychological warfare against African Americans. [Governmental Psychological warfare is the art of directing masses and individual towards governmental objectives by means of cleverly manipulating theory and misinformation.]
…. Today the United States Government’s unrelenting commitment towards maintaining it's white dominance resulted in it conducting planned campaigns of extensive strategic psychological operations through the national media to influence the perception and climate of the nation towards the attainment of this governmental objectives. The U.S. Government now secretly uses mis-education, false statistics and negative propaganda media reports that equates a psychological warfare that conspires to corrupt blacks of unity, reason, and common sense, thus deliberately soliciting the disparity that has now become modern Black America as a mean of meeting its objective of maintaining white dominance in the United States. . Here is a simplified analogy of its process at effecting Black self perception: Let us say, for example, that a group of people was aboard their own massive ship and that their ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship, a neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy or perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent or was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own boat even if their own ship was in fact better. This concept of warfare uses the psychology of deceit to adversely affect the recipients in terms of their behavior. The basis of this concept is that the human being's most critical aspect is the mind and it works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is the message that it carries and the way that it adversely affects the targeted group.
Within a real world setting, this is done by an immense campaign of false statistics and negative media reports implemented against African Americans through U.S. governmental agencies that leak false derogatory press releases, documentaries, and false negative statistics about its Black population [that perpetuate and frame the myth of Whites’ racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population]. This false information is then submitted to the government’s collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the stories as their own, and then disseminated through news releases in magazine articles, radio, and television.
However, the weapon is not in how the message is carried, but is instead within the messages that it carries and how these messages affect the targeted recipients and influence society. This campaign is designed to demoralize, discourage, berate, subjugate, and divide America’s Black population, and to also engender increasingly prejudiced distorted perceptions and acrimonious beliefs about African Americans that creates a consensual environment that facilitates their easier exploitation and suppression. Because when contempt of Blacks appears to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and even world audiences will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated disproportionately incarcerated under the belief that it is justified.
This psychology of deceit creates a shift of victimization that changes the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than White’s proclivity for racism is deliberately perpetuated unrelentingly everywhere, insinuating that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone. Thus making the nation and the entire world insensitive to the plight of African Americans, therefore lessens pressure for social change on behalf of Blacks thus successfully striping Blacks of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960's civil rights struggles.
Moreover, not only does it tranquilize efforts on behalf of Blacks, but also makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today and also affects attitudes that, when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.
This concept of the U.S government using psychology as a weapon to influence and control its Black population is not at all ridiculous. For more than a century ago, Charles Darwin predicted in his book "The Origin of Species" (1859) "the evolutionary theory would one day provide a new foundation for the science of psychology." The truth in his words has been borne out. The change came when modern advances in our understanding of the genetics of social behavior ushered in Sociobiology; a controversial new science of the biological study of social behavior of humans. Since the 1950's, U.S. experimental psychologists and Cognitive scientists have developed ideas about the unconscious mental process that proposes that most of our mental processes happen outside of our awareness suggesting that the ability to control the behavior of people around us subconsciously is now a distinct possibility. Moreover, over the past five decades, human sociobiology has transformed into an evolutionary psychology that has gained science the means and ability to control and, therefore, predict the actions and feelings of individuals or groups merely by the messages conveyed against them. According to this controversial use of psychology, the human mind is the most extraordinary part of the human body, and there seems to be little doubt, wrote biologist David Barash, "that the unconscious is real and that in certain obscure ways the forces of culture are all-powerful in shaping human behavior. Advances in these studies resulted in governments using psychology as a weapon for maintaining White dominance.

This controversial use of psychology to profoundly influenced and control individuals and mass groups by mis-information conveyed to them was already made obvious as a result of one of the most infamous mistakes in history. It happened on Oct. 30, 1938, when millions of Americans tuned in to a popular radio program that featured a plays directed by, and starring, Orson Welles. The performance that evening was an adaptation of the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds, about a Martian invasion of the earth. But in adapting the book for a radio play, Welles made an important change: under his direction the play was written and performed so it would sound like a news broadcast about an invasion from Mars, a technique that, presumably, was intended to heighten the dramatic effect. News of the panic was conveyed as a via genuine news report. As the audience listened to this simulation of news broadcast, created with voice acting and sound effects, a portion of the audience concluded that it was hearing an actual news account of an invasion from Mars. This quickly generated immense scare. People packed the roads, hid in cellars, loaded guns, fought among themselves, even wrapped their heads in wet towels as protection from Martian poison gas, in an attempt to defend themselves against aliens, oblivious to the fact that they were acting out the role of the panic-stricken public that actually belonged in a radio play.– people were stuck in a kind of virtual world in which fiction was confused for fact.
These people [victims] listening to the false broadcast became confused and disarray because they were taken in by simulations. This example proves that a few effective voices, conveyed through the media can convince masses of people of a totally unreasonable, completely fantastic proposition as to create a nation-wide panic. Moreover, it demonstrated more potently than any argument, that beyond a question of a doubt, the appalling dangers and enormous effectiveness of media. That broadcast also revealed the way in which the Government can use the power of mass communications to manipulate the public towards its objective.
The U.S. media’s negative portrayal of its back population that disproportionately portrays Black men as the face of crime and Black women as being the face of welfare are totally false and inaccurate, but are necessary to covertly tranquilize efforts on behalf of Blacks and makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. It also affects attitudes that when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also attempts to discourage miscegenation between Blacks and Whites and creates a false justification for the legal system’s mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed.
Because no group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact, therefore, the worst aspect of this psychological operation against America ’s Black population is, not how it adversely affects race relations, but instead how it causes many African Americans to perceive themselves. Like that of a crew of people aboard a massive ship that are constantly receiving a continous broadcasted of derogatory messages that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy or perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent or was planning a mutiny. With time, this crew receiving the constant negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies, will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves.
The U.S. governmental psychosocial treatment of and psychological warfare against African Americans is one that subjects African Americans daily to seeing through a controlled national media only the worst in themselves while insinuating that they should admire, respect, and trust only whites This unrelenting daily assault on the Black psyche is designed to mold the character of self-hatred and to corrupt many African Americans’ sense of racial unity and to also engender self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. Thus ultimately destroying the unprecedented degree of unity and cohesion that was so movingly demonstrated among Blacks during the 1960’s and that was the significant factor for the callaps of the earlier blatant system of white racism used in the past to maintain white racism. This science of psychology works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception and today accordingly , as a result of its affectiveness, many Blacks have comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves. Therefore believing that they are niggers and thugs and will even goes as far as to argue for that right to refer to themselves as such.

The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need. It was the logical choice—because it covertly provides the U.S. Government the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among its Black population that meet the U.S government objectives of maintaining its white dominance. Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White race’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply ingrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population. The records of history show that the reincarnation of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice of the United States government as seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow laws. And, also, let us not forget the many sorts of devious strategies and methods used to prevent Blacks from becoming registered voters. The historic and demonstrative evidence overwhelmingly reflects the reality that the U.S. government does manifest a proclivity for reinventing devious methods to suppress its Black population. This proclivity has led to the U.S. Government now using its proven method of psychological operations to control the advancement and growth of its Black population. It was the next logical choice for it provides the Government the benefit of the appearance of conducting humanitarian efforts to help its Black community while covertly seeking only to maintain its White dominance. Those who forget history are destined to have history’s crimes repeated against them.
