TO THE EDITOR,
The recent uprising in Los
Angeles, Atlanta, Beloit, and other
various locations stemming from the
miscarriage of justice by the verdict
rendered in the Rodney King case
and the accumilation of other
miscarriages of justice throughout
the nation were actually rebellions
not riots!
Just as the colonists rebelled
against the British g�vemment �nd
. the people involved m the rebellion
were called "patriot or freedom
fighters" by the colonists, and by the
British government they were called
"outlaws or criminals".
The Boston rea Party was coined
, or labeled a rebellion and party not a
riot. Christopher Columbus's
invasion was coined a discovery;
hopefully, you discern the
terminology of propoganda
deception.
There are three types of people:
those who MAKE things happen,
those who WATCH things happen,
and those who WONDER what
happened. F�dom fighteIS MAKE
things happen, they MAKE people
take notice and the government takes
notice, by this hopefully a po �tive
change will result from their actIons.
damaged in the uprising. Our
prayers, hearts, and assistance goes
out to tho e innocent people and
entities, but in wars, conflicts or
rebellious uprisings, these are
considered casualties.
The key to the golden rule is:
whoever has the gold also has thc!
rule. Therefore, those in authority
are going to blame the victim for a
problem while omitting the blame
from the perpetrators.
Society teaches people very earl y
in life that disagreements can be
settled with fists or violence, while
governments ettle their
disagreements with other nations by-
war. .
As the proverb goes, "you'll reap
what you sow", and no law and order
campaign can Idll the people' quest
for ju tice , Adolph Hitler'
. government had law and order but
lacked justice to the I raelite ,
Gyp ies, etc.
J t the white-collar criminals
remain free in society including
President Bush's son, Neil Bush and
other SelL crooks, bank,
Iran-Con traga te, H. U.D.,
Sundstrand executive, Senator{ ),
Congre people, and the list of
white-collar criminal goes on.
These actions by the government
would be a sign of repentance and
would restore faith the government,
without this restored faith in this
government is doomed.
IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
can aid and lsi t the European
Israelites to flee the ex-Soviet Union
and other parts of Europe and
migrate to Israel, surely it can aid and
assist its own citize .
Meanwhile, economic ho tages
or descendents of ex- laves are held
in bondage in the U.S.A. with no aid
or assistance to return or exodus to
their homeland. The option for
repatriation for those who choose to
exodus. should be available and.
accessible.
The saying of, "love it or leave it",
doe n't apply in this situation,
Ithough,' George WaShington
stayed, fought and changed it 'This
repatriation would be heeding to
prophesy rather than becoming a
victim of prophesy.
These hypocritical ways may
have gained the U.S. government the
world or control of it but the cost for
it w the loss of it's oul!

THE THEO Y 0 the political
center says that the middle cl
hite VOteD, people who incom
are expanding and who dwell in
comfort ble suburban homes, are
,
these few uprisings. This
double-standard judicial system,
image projection of giving police
license to kill as James Bond/agent
007, racist, corruption, exploitation,
etc. are only symptoms of the actual
cause of the problem.
The invasion of the Native
Americans/lndians country and
slavery of Africans was a sin or cause
of problem. The remedy for the
problem according to the scriptures
would be to-formally apologize, pay
reparations to descendents of
ex-slaves siinilar to those recently
paid to Japanese-Americans for
WWIl to 'their homeland.
The Native American Church or
other designated enti ty( ) should be
the communicators for the Native
Americans' remedy. Band-aid
remedies such as social programs,
temporary or underemployed job ,
and other stall tactics won't resolve
the problem.
An everlasting remedy can only
come about when the U.S.
government apologize , pay
reparation and aid and assist in
reptariation, wherefore, this would
serve a a deterrent for slavery
happening gain in the future.
The duty of de cendents of
ex-slaves to ee that ju tice is
brought about for the crime . agai t
humanity committed against their
forebearers would be accomplished.
