Well when I'm talking to freedomain radio listeners I'm assuming most people are anarchists so I don't think its incorrect to use this definition of crime. Thanks, I appreciate you sharing that info. It definitely helps the counter argument. I think because of my hatred for cops and because of the shear number of crimes they commit, I want to remain skeptical. I understand that the data we do have points to black people committing more crimes. Thanks again for your reply and sorry for the late response.

Yeah I understand black run governments do extremely evil things. I'm just wondering how it breaks down in america specifically. What I don't understand is why is there any distinction between government and private crime. No one has given any valid reasons why its unfair to count government crime with private crime. I get that its annoying to point this out because we don't have the numbers of government crime by race. I just don't what to go out in to the world and tell people black people do more evil things unless I can be reasonably certain its true. Conservatively violent government crime is double private violent crime. All private violent crime in america adds up to about 1 million offenses and last year the government arrested 1.5 million people for drug crimes alone.

Yeah I haven't read any articles or studies that support that. Can you link so I can read them please?

The definition of crime I'm using can be found in any dictionary its not radical to say we don't know the truth because there is massive amounts of crime that is not counted. I'm not saying I can prove anything, I'm saying there is data out there that makes me have doubts about how much more crime blacks commit than whites. I don't know how you can be certain of a topic when there are millions of offenses that are not even counted. I can't accept its true that black people commit way more crime because we are missing a big amount of data. Is there anything illogical about that? I understand that blacks commit more of what that government calls crime, I'm not disputing that. Well police literally steal the money you have without charging you of a crime under civil asset forfeiture. 200k people are being raped in prison and half the population in prison didn't do anything immoral. They arrest you and throw you in cage for being a hooker. They put you in a cage for using drugs. If you try to defend yourself you're beaten or killed. How is this false equivalence?

Ok here is what I have so far and this isn't proof but i'm just trying to make the case: Fifty percent (95,800) sentenced inmates in federal prison alone for drug crimes in 2014 Of the 1,561,231 arrests for drug law violations in 2014, 83.1% (1,297,384) were for possession of a controlled substance. Only 16.9% (263,848) were for the sale or manufacturing of a drug 70,000 people are arrested for prostitution each year 4.5 billion in civil asset forfeiture in 2014 216,000 rapes in prison in 2008 of that an estimated 65,700 inmates, including 6,800 juveniles, were raped by staff (most recent numbers I could find) So not even counting wars and taxation there is a lot of crime going on in the american government. Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I can tell the people working in the agencies that commit these crimes are overwhelming white. So when we look at crimes being committed in america why should I ignore this data? I understand that the black community has a problem with crime but is it really so much higher than white folks? Seems like white people just prefer to do evil in public rather than privately. EDIT: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/09/03/us/the-race-gap-in-americas-police-departments.htmlthese are the numbers I could find about race gap in policing

Well I'm not using a new definition of crime but yes obviously I understand that the statistics don't use this definition. I'm not interested in finding every moral wrong the people in government have committed(I get that is impossible), I want to find the truth about crime among the races. One thing that would be helpful is to get a break down of police, military and politicians by race. Less than one third of the military are minorities. 80 percent of congress is white and 94% of the senate is white. What I'm having trouble finding is a break down of police by race, I have found stats of specific precincts which seem to be mostly white but I cant find stats on the country as a whole. If you know if those stats are published anywhere please let me know.

Well if we want to find the truth about crime among the races it makes sense that we look at all crime not just what the government calls crime. Is there any reason we shouldn't count all crime?

I'm curious about the real crime statistics in America. In 2014 the police stole more money than burglars under the guise of civil asset forfeiture. They can steal your money without charging you of a crime and claim you have to prove its not stolen. You have the BLM stealing land all over the country. The politicians are taking kickbacks and taxing the shit out of people so they can give themselves raises. If crime is counted as humans committing evil against other humans are black people really topping the charts?

He is playing the role of the hero tyrant that is going to save everyone. Whats new or innovative about that? I guess i just find it odd that anarchists of all people admire the same old political nonsense. What is there to admire? He is honest when it suits him and he attacks his opponents with no apologies. Yawn, I have heard it all before.

Yes this whole fascination with trump is extremely disturbing. I wonder how many times people need to be lied to before they realize politics is a con. I almost hope Trump wins just so these people will realize how deluded their beliefs are. What is so concerning is that you don't see that Trump is the sacred cow. I implore you to give up the great salvation of bullshit faith. Trump is trying to gain power, you can never trust a man who is trying to gain power over you. A wise man once said never become so desperate that you would trust the untrustworthy.

Here is a video of a nobel prize winning scientist addressing most of the things talked about in your video. Just pointing out the nobel prize to let you know there are mainstream scientists that don't buy in to man made global warming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCy_UOjEir0

He is more vile and I condemn him because he gives false hope to anarchists like you. I hate him for that.

Trump dodges questions and doesn't address anything of substance on the Alex Jones show but that doesn't stop Alex from fawning all over him. Its amazing to see this narcissist charm and manipulate his way into the hearts of Americans. It's a complete circus and trump just may be the most successful, richest and intelligent clowns we have seen for a long time. Trump has being saying all along he knows how to play the game and boy is that true. He has been able to masterfully rally the fringe in order to gain power. In my opinion a truly vile con artist.

I found this amusing http://www.nationaljournal.com/s/91261/black-white-sleep-gap

Just for laughs

I strongly dislike asking for help but right now I really want to. My Father abandoned me when I was about 1 or 2 and I have only seen him a handful of times since. Recently he has found me through a social media site and has sent me a few emails over a period of about a year. I'm going to post the emails and I would like some preservative from anyone that is willing. Emails Me: Hi, yes its me. I wanted you to know I received your message. I suffered a lot of pain growing up without a father and I don't think a re connection is possible. Father:I know it might be hard but maybe it would be good for both of us. Give it some thought and maybe we can start. I can't imagine what the hurt and difficulty you came through in your time.....I do know that I too have suffered a profound deep sadness at not being part of a majority of your life. I want you to know that I would like to start again. Now or anytime you feel appropriate at what ever level or speed we can work out together. Please think on it and thank you. I didnt respond and he sent another email this month Father: Hi Aaron, hope this note finds you well. I wanted to send a quick note to let you know that after my term at Brock I've taken an appointment out west and am leaving the province in a couple of weeks. I would like to ask if you might have time to have a lunch or dinner. If not I understand. I also wanted to send my new contact information. Hope to hear from you. Me: Hi, I just received your email and I'm not sure if you have left for your job or not. If you haven't and we were to have lunch what would you want to talk about. Father: So the packers are here today and the movers load me up and ship me out tomorrow. I then am driving out to Alberta as I won't have anything/stuff here and have to be on the other end in Medicine Hat when the truck arrives. While we might not get a visit in because of moving timing now, I will be back often and would love to keep you informed. At the same time I would love to stay in touch maybe through emails? It might not be about anything specific, but finding out more and let you know too. I know the days of batting practise or taking shots on goal for soccer have long past.....but at the same time I think we can offer each other a lot. Maybe after some time you might decide you want to see what Medicine Hat (I know not the hub of the world) is all about. There is obvious stuff like what's going on, is your life together, where u living, you with anyone, working, and other stuff too I'm sure. It's not earth shattering stuff I'm sure but we start somewhere. And I know it doesn't take a lot of time, but actually doing it sometimes is not easy for a lot of reasons. I know that too. I think it is worth the effort, but I am willing to respect whatever you would like. I have tried to do that since the last we met up. But reality is (as has been) I do and always have think on you a lot. Be well and hope I hear from you. Me: To be honest I'm not sure If its a good idea for us to be in contact. It might just cause more pain. If you want to talk lets start with what I was too scared to ask that one time we had dinner, Why did you leave your child with that crazy woman all those years? Where the fuck were you? Father: I guess your question is an obvious one. And it's not a simple answer. From the time your mother and I separated to the time you left to be on your own, I could tell you things that would curl your hair. But I suspect you have you own ones that are as bad. As to why in the eyes of the court parental control automatically shifts in favour of women I will never understand. It was worse then. But for what it's worth I tried and despite my efforts at the time it made no difference....when I moved to BC to work (I was out of a job for 9 months) my contact with you was even more severely controlled by her. I did support her financially the entire time until you moved out. In fact she did not even notify me until 6 months after you were gone. None of this is excuse but explanation and can only be cold comfort I know. But It should not dictate who we are today. You are a man who has gone through your own battles and even some demons. I suspect you are coming out the right end of it. I know you can decide what's best for you. I am only suggesting we make a start. If not today then in a week a month a year. I might be good for both of us. So that has been the exchange so far. Some of what he wrote I have no clue if its true, I remember my mother going to court for years to get child support and she told me the government was garnishing his wages and that was the only reason she got the money. My Mother is a crazy bitch so I'm not sure what is true. Putting that aside my reaction to these emails has been mostly anger. He seems to be blaming his lack of involvement of a bunch of things that he is not responsible for. If I did what he did my message would be something like I am so sorry for what I did to you and I know I might never be able to make it up to you but I want to spend the rest of my life trying, When my son was a little boy I would fight to see him day and night never relenting . Where is his guilt or his sadness. It feels like he doesn't even think it was that big of a deal. I don't think I'm being crazy here but when you read this what is the sense you get from his emails. If you took the time to read all of this thank you very much.

His wife was recording it and the man was arrested.

Sometimes I forget that stuff like this is happening in the world. People who defend corporal punishment are repulsive. Just a warning the video is very intense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwGSpobpG2o

I agree Patrick, such an amazing speech!

Gentleness clears the soul, love cleans the mind and makes it free.

They are live streaming the whole event. I believe Stef speaks at around 4pm eastern today to anyone interested.

I think this is a press conference that happened before the event actually started so probably not many people were around. I did see girlwriteswhat in the crowd

A sad song about a sane man living in an insane world.

Asheli, I would suggest asking in detail about his childhood. When you ask him see if he talks honestly and openly about it. Try and get a sense if he has processed the past or is still repeating the cycle of abuse. In my experience talking about abstract intellectual topics like economics rarely works if the person is an unprocessed victim of abuse. Dismantling the power structure of the family seems to be effective if the person is virtuous and honest.
