Collect, Collect, Collect, Law Enforcement's Latest Paradigm.

Collect, collect, collect.
         This is all our officers of the law focus on. Hell, this is what our entire judicial system is based on.
        Notice how crime rates have risen? Because the system is not defending us; but only collecting revenue for the department. They continue to have newer vehicles, higher grade assult weapons, more victims, more slaves in the privately owned prison systems of America, more pay, but yet the rate of unsolved crime is rising higher and higher. The crimes that go "unsolved" are the crimes that do not gather revenue, but cost departments money. That is no coincidence.
         Judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers on the same pay roll; benefiting from the "punishment" of "crime" as they turn the accused over to privately owned corrections facilities so the cost to the Sate is maintained. While at no time in human history have so many people been imprisoned by its own government. (Not even the "Red" & "Communist" countries the US claim as our enemies house as many prisoners. Though they are hated because they aren't as "free" as we are.)
         We look back at the days of kings and knights. You see  these same systems were used to squeeze collections out of the already impoverished society just as it is happening today. But we don't have a "Robin Hood" or a "Zorro" in the wings to assist us here in the United States. As a "modern society" we seem to have turned blind to the same happening in our world and are too placated to fight injustice, theft, and murder by our modern captor. It could be the new technology, it could be the force fed media feeds tarnishing an objective view, or it could be a society we secretly want through our compliance.
        Similar happenings happened in Germany during the 1940's. Germany was at a peak of technology, state saturated media,  government control of thought and art through censorship, record setting prison populations, and a military constantly at war to expand its belief in the Führung.  Even as people were disappearing around them, the society was easily lead to believe those who were disappearing "Where Unclean" and they were being removed for the "purification" of the State.
        At this Time the United States has similar prisons in foreign lands where the vast majority of those tortured and interned there have a Muslim faith. We have a military that has been constantly at war, we have a media that is now state run and filled with the propaganda it wants us to know. Those who "Toe the Party Line" live a life of ease, while anyone who needs to be "broken" is raked through to judicial system much akin to the story of Jesus. As if to say, "Stand for the rights of the people who are less fortunate & be quelled with violences that the state run media will never tell you about." AKA much of the Michael Brown and "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" movement were organized through social media and until the riots the main stream media did all it could to stay away from reporting the story.  The same places where many found out about the happenings (Social Media) also made possible the public outcry and education of what happened.
        Why all this strife? For the money.  The same money printed at the US Mint itself. Capitalism ran so far amuck that even the governing body has been given up to pure (and adulterated) greed and avarice to such an extent the it has to find new ways to fill its own pockets to "continue" running. I can't be the only one that sees this system feeding upon itself like a snake eating its own tale. Will we stop the avarice before we are consumed and crushed by the machine?
Do we need a Zorro, Robin Hood, or Brave Heart?

So Long to the Independence Center from a LOOOONG time shopper.

Dear Independence Center;


I was quite upset after last night’s attempt to shop at your mall. I have been going to your mall as the central arena for my shopping needs since I was a child in the 1980’s. I still remember the mezzanines, with their burgundy carpet, that were the centermost part of the mall up above the food court. I always loved walking up and down them as a child with my mother pushing my sister in a stroller. I even made games of thinking what toys I’d wish to race up and down the ramps that I got from the Children’s Palace on the 3rd floor.

Though I may not have set any records in the amount of money that I have spent in your mall, I have spent a great deal of my hard earned money in your establishment, year after long year. I practically kept Sam Goody in business, all by myself, during Junior High and High school. As I grew up, I was always buying books at Border’s, scented things at Nature’s Niche, and taking my wife to get clothing at Torrid and Hot Topic. I have also been a regular shopper at Kay’s and have bought my suits and other nice clothes at Sears for almost all of my adult life along with all of my sports jerseys and jackets.

But last night while I was in your mall I was not greeted well or treated like a long time shopper. From the time I walked out of Sears and into the main area I was made to feel unwelcome to spend my money there. I was followed by two different officers patrolling your mall. They did not even try to make it look as though they were not directly watching and following me. It was so bad that one time I walked out of a shop and the officer was still standing outside the shop from where he’d stopped to watch me enter it. It got to the point that I did not ever wish to shop anymore in a mall where I was profiled with no probable cause.

I have never been kicked out of your mall; and having been alone I was certainly not breaking the: You cuss, You Yell, Groups of 5 +, or dress code rules that you have up as a standard of conduct. (I was wearing a button up white shirt with pens in the breast pocket, blue work slacks, and black shoes with a matching leather belt.) I was not causing any kind of scene, nor was I acting in any way outside of a normal shopper trying to choose the right gifts for their loved ones for the coming holidays.

I have to say this experience has made me want to never shop at your mall again. This kind of harassment of people who come to your mall wishing to spend money has been the down fall of other malls such as “The Mall of the Great Plains” and many others in recent years. In hard economic times one should never try to keep a patron, who wishes to spend money, away from any retail store. Retail has been one of the hardest hit industries and needs no further damage done to it.

I make part of my living making the community aware of injustice and wrong doing done to individuals. You have just added another issue for me to aware the public of Kansas City to. I will miss your mall, but I think you may miss the patrons of your mall much more greatly now that I will try to keep them from being harassed by those who are paid to protect shoppers like them, and myself, in your mall.
