Professor Marc Lamont Hill The Go To Apologist Foil for Corporate Media and The Great South African Reactionary Nelson Mandela

Professor Marc Lamont Hill, the go to apologist foil for corporate media and it's educating the electorate charade is earning his keep as the eager beaver of Black Intelligentsia.  A Don Quixote, emblematic of the impotence of The Black American Experience polemic and it's speculative politics Playing his jousting role with the idiot Don Lemon of CNN and comically speaking uncomfortable truths a la Satchmo-like in Shirley Templesque comfort, to the status quo narrative that needs the historical collaboration of the Marc Lamont Hill's for it's dialectic.

Even The Great South African Reactionary Nelson Mandela recognized that a Political-Economy requires a polemic equal to it's purpose.  So other than an indulgence in that historical exercise of intellectualism for its idealistic sake.  If not a apologist collaborator what we to make of Marc Lamont Hill.

The Killing Of The Suspect Eric Harris By The 73yr. Old Reserve Cop Robert Bates Of Tulsa County, Oklahoma

The command "roll over on your Stomach" given by the Tulsa County, Oklahoma undercover cops during a drugs and guns sting operation which resulted in the killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates, was in itself tactically flawed and wrong.

The suspect Eric Harris was shot and killed by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates under the pretext that the suspect Eric Harris, by allegedly refusing to roll over from his stomach could have had a weapon thus jeopardizing the safety of cops who were already on his back and neck.

But if the command given by cops who had subdued the suspect Eric Harris by being on his back and neck was specifically intended to neutralize threats posed by possible weapons under the suspects stomach, then telling the suspect Eric Harris to roll over on his back would have enabled and actualized the threat.

The only tactically correct thing those Tulsa County, Oklahoma sting operation cops could have done was maintain the suspect Eric Harris on his stomach, then grabbing his wrist pull his arms out.  Thereby absolutely neutralizing the supposed threat.

Arresting a suspect by police should not be experimental exercises subject to the practical limitations and moral suppositions of police.  Arresting authority and it's exercise is dictated by the United States Constitution, which is the only arbiter of acceptable national socialization.  So when the police practice cavalier as evidenced in the killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates, the national socialization and the social-contract becomes a tyrannical practice, an unjust and idealistic proposition defined only by the resource of organized violence.

The killing of the suspect Eric Harris by the 73 yr. old reserve cop Robert Bates is another ripple in the tyrannical practice of the national socialization and the social-contract as an unjust and idealistic proposition.

The Culture Wars, "Death to America" and Silicon Valley

The contradictions that exist between the U.S. and it's external enemies on the base-criticism of cultural decadence, deviancy and immortality, is the identical contradiction that also exist nationally in the U.S, culture wars. Specifically, in it's anti-abortion and ant-gay rights formulations.

The contradictions existing between the U.S. and it's external enemies on the base-criticism of cultural decadence, deviancy and immorality is idealistically evident when on the one hand the external enemies of the U.S. chant "Death To America".While on the other hand do all that they can to acquire and avail theirself of the innovative, technological and infrastructural consequences of the U.S. culture.  The same culture the "Death To America" chanters deride as decadent, deviant and immoral.

So we find the same identical contradiction evidenced in the national culture wars, with Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism criticizing it's Liberal Democratic-Progressive opposition as culturally decadent, deviant and immoral while dupliciously utilizing and exploiting the innovation and technological infrastructure created by Liberal Democratic-Progressive culture.

The Stars and Bars doesn't fly over Silicon Valley.

Speech and The Emperor Has No Clothes

Logo used by Wikileaks (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

There was Wikileaks a romantic practioner of the type of speech that secrets of government should be availed to it's citizens.  Naturally government responded with it's organized violence and Wikileaks was suppressed.  In it's settling dust appeared the vitamin D deficient Eric Snowden and his type of speech, who laid bare governmental secrets and innards so purposefully naked that government's response was to dialectically proclaim it's naked innards as well garbed in homage to The Emperor Has No Clothes.

The Rich and Wealthy Accused, Money and A Jury's Suppositionary Bias

Contrary to popular belief and conventional acceptance, money or wealth does not get rich and wealthy accused out of legal jams.  But the suppositionary bias held by a jury about wealth and money is what enables, allows and permits the rich and wealthy accused to elude and evade convictions.

The argument will be made that this is a distinction without consequence because the basis for the jury's suppositionary bias is still the jury's assumption about money and wealth.

The counter and response is simple:  The rich and wealthy accused does not say to the jury "I should be acquitted because I'm rich and wealthy".  On the contrary the rich and wealthy accused downplays the ornate capricies of money and wealth and instead plays to the idealistic self-consciousness of the jury and it's suppositionary bias, because the rich and wealthy recognizes, the jury wants to be him.

It is lazy analysis to be critical of the double standard in the justice system by blaming the rich and wealthy.  When we should challenge the supremacy of suppositionary biases in our Political-Economy that allows the truly criminal to escape while punishing the hapless and desperate.
