The “Silent Majority” better stop being so silent.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, the old adage says.

Never has that been more true than today.

    As I write this: 31 AUG 2020: A militant, vocal, dangerous and violent insurrectionist movement, led by BLM (Burn, Loot and Murder) and Antifa, but constituting a very small percentage of population, have bullied and extorted government leaders and major businesses to bow to their outrageous and unconstitutional demands:

• Major political parties: The Democrats
• State Governors: Washington, Oregon, New York, California
• Mayors of major cities: Seattle, Portland, New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Kenosha
• Congressmen and congresswomen: Nancy Pelosi, her low-IQ squad, and others
• Senators: Chuck Schumer and his band of bigots
• Big businesses: Amazon, Google, Pepsi Co., Square Enix, Toms, UbiSoft, and dozens more have donated to and “stand with” the BLM and Antifa movements.

• Major sports leagues have “taken a knee” and bowed to this movement.

    My problem: I disagree with discrimination to the core of my being. Make no mistake; this is discrimination. The race-baiting and division comes from the protesters and their supporters. And the people and organizations listed here have jumped into that cesspool of hate and divisiveness with both feet. We can't be silent any more. Tell them what we think and how we're going to deal with this problem if it doesn't stop.

    I’ve made it easy to tell these organizations exactly how we feel about it:  Feel free to cut and paste this into your social media feeds.

--------------------------------------------------------

    Just so that we’re clear, the following organizations will no longer receive any of my time, money, attention or patronage:

• The National Basketball Association (NBA): I will not watch another game, in person, or on television, until this organization publicly states, “All Lives Matter.”

• Major League Baseball (MLB): I will not watch another game, in person, or on television, until this organization publicly states, “All Lives Matter.”

• The National Football Association (NFL): I will not watch another game, in person, or on television, until this organization publicly states, “All Lives Matter.”

• NASCAR: I will not watch another race, in person, or on television, until this organization publicly states, “All Lives Matter.” 

• The National Hockey Association (NHL): I will not watch another game, in person, or on television, until this organization publicly states, “All Lives Matter.” 

• News organizations: CNN, MSDNC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Politico, Buzzfeed, the Washington Post, the New York Times, etc.  Any news organization that has gone to bed with BLM and Antifa, and/or shown outright political, racial and cultural bias and bigotry, doesn’t deserve my time, money, attention or patronage. These are disgusting, evil people who refuse to tell the truth. If you listen to what they say and you believe it; you’re part of the problem.

• Politicians who bow and pander to the BLM and Antifa movements: Not a penny, not a minute, will I devote to you or your cause. Because you cannot be impartial and you practice discrimination and bigotry, you will be replaced.

• The Democratic Party: These people, in league with the media, are running their election platform on hate and divisiveness. They are bullies and malcontents. Their message is if you don’t support their platform, they will beat you up, take your job and ruin your life. They hate anybody who supports the president and who doesn’t bow to their strong-arm tactics. 

• Businesses: I will do my best to use the products and services of local businesses that do not discriminate rather than global conglomerates (such as Google and Amazon) which have proven that they are politically and racially bigoted and biased.

Well spoken.

    YES: BOTH AMAZON and GOOGLE, I use every day...until I find alternatives. The problem being, WE let it get to the point where we DO NOT have alternate options...Sometimes there’s only one place to shop. This is my problem until I fix it.  We gotta start somewhere.

• Alternatives to YouTube:  BitChute, Brighteon, Twitch

• Alternatives to Twitter: Parler

• Alternatives to Facebook: Dump Facebook. Just get off it. It will suck your soul out of your body.  

• Alternatives to Google Search:  DuckDuckGo (non-tracking, unbiased search engine) 

    Also of note, I’ve never been a hockey fan and this group almost had me since all my other sports got the political, pandering knee bug. But, not wanting to be left out; the NHL also took a knee.  And lost a potential fan. Probably a lot of them.

    In conclusion: I’m tired of hearing about the silent majority but not hearing anything from them. (pun intended)

    Saying nothing, solves nothing. Actions speak louder than words; but loud words get everyone’s attention.  Let’s tell them what’s going to happen if they don’t fix it, before we start firing shots.

    The title of the recent Keanu Reeves movie, John Wick Chapter 3, Parabellum, sums up my philosophy quite succinctly: If you want peace; prepare for war.
