The Zimmerman trial and what it represents is perhaps the most important cultural phenomenon we have seen. So many things, so much evil, is involved that OrgOism's refusal to comment on it is disgraceful. The entire case is a show trial, a political persecution of an individual citizen conducted by the ENTIRE Leftist establishment including the POTUS himself. The entire Leftist juggernaut was deployed to crush one man. Why?
To answer that question understand that Zimmerman was condemned by the left-liberal elite for being an evil racist. If Zimmerman killed Martin due to gang violence or a busted drug deal, the media would never have cared about the incident. That is routine minority on minority violence. It happens all the time and is built right into our welfare state with its anti-drug laws. Even stray killings from minority on minority crime or drug involved crime are uninteresting for the most part.
But Zimmerman didn't kill Martin in drug or gang related crime. Zimmerman’s greatest sin is that he cared about crime in his neighborhood and was trying to do something about it. Black crime and black home invasion was a very real fact of life for George Zimmerman. His neighborhood was 20% black. There is a tipping point that knowledgeable Americans understand. When any community or neighborhood gets to be 25% black or more, it becomes crime infested and DANGEROUS to live in. THE REALITY OF BLACK CRIME IS CENTRAL TO THIS CASE AS IS THE REALITY OF THE VIOLENT BLACK UNDERCLASS. Zimmerman was combating black crime in his condo complex which had been hit by 14 incidents of black criminality since he lived there. But there's more.
What's at play here is the Leftist "narrative”; that narrative being that white racism is the fundamental factor behind every ill that befalls blacks, from poverty to unequal incomes to living in inner city squalor to suffering a disproportionate murder rate. This narrative is a form of thought control over america’s white population. It sets the parameters about what they can think and say about everything having to do with black poverty and crime. Its intention is to automatically cause guilt in all whites. Its the Left's version of Original Sin. It is a version of history where everything is the white man's fault. This is pure mind control. It should make a lover of liberty outraged. (ARI? TOS? TOC? Dr. Diana Hsieh, PHD? Anyone home?)
Its as if the Left wants to stir up a pogrom against non-Leftist whites. The only thing preventing all out pogroms is that as yet the Left doesn't have the numbers on their side. But that could change in 50 years or so, especially with continued non-European immigration. (Yes, I know that will piss off mainstream O'ists.) South Africa and Zimbabwe come to mind. If mainstream Objectivism had any understanding of human nature or the way the world works, it would understand that when blacks gain a majority in a country where they suffered some historic injustice they become VIOLENT. They end up with a MURDEROUS rage against whites. Yes, the solution is laissez fair. But that is an ideal solution for a distant future. We live in the present. Combine a majority non-white population with a dominant cultural/political Left-wing movement that we are now seeing and you have the making of a society characterized by constant racial civil war. The only whites who will live in peace are those rich enough to live in gated communities with private police forces. Those will of course by Leftist whites or those connected to them. That is not a pretty picture. Yet it is coming. That future more than Peikoff's nutty Christian theocracy is a reality.
But what else can we say about the way this case was conducted:
*The Florida DA didn't even want to bring charges against Zimmerman at first, the case was so weak. But it only did so once the racial grievance industry became involved including Obama and Holder. Obama contributed to the race hustling with his comment "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin."
*The DA falsified evidence in this witch hunt that even Leftist Allan Dershowitz argues that they should be sued and Corey disbarred.
*The entire Leftist media attempted to convict Zimmerman in their coverage of the whole episode. Martin was continuously called a "boy" or "child". His 12 year old angelic photos were always shown and not the thuggish photos of his later years. There was no real reporting on his drug habit, or his school suspension, or his dysfunctional family life, etc. All that stuff you had to learn about on-line, from Conservative media or bloggers (those dreaded Conservatives that OrgOism is so fixated with).
*Zimmerman who is obviously Hispanic was portrayed as a white man by the media to assist its demonization of whites. Thus was the "white Hispanic" born. If Zimmerman had discovered a cure for cancer would the media have portrayed him as white? No.
*Riots have taken place and a few deaths have resulted. Fortunately not to the level they could have. Its actually amazing that we didn't have total nation-wide chaos given what the left carried on.
What's the take-home point for those interested in the Objectivist movement? The Zimmerman/Martin affair shows the nature of the racial socialism of the Left, their hatred of white gentile (and capitalist) society, the total anarchy of the feral black underclass, the growing danger to middle class citizens (mostly whites) from the black undertow, the hatred that most blacks harbor towards whites (and reinforced by the Left), and the growing totalitarianism of the entire political Left. The Left not Conservatives and Republicans. Yes Republicans are very bad. But you have to be deranged to think that they are as bad as today's Leftist politicians.*
THIS IS 'ATLAS SHRUGGED' TYPE STUFF HERE. And OrgOism has said NOTHING about it. Why? Because it involves blacks and OrgOism will not challenge the Left on anything which involves the Leftist sacrilization of blacks or Muslims. They have been gelded and thus they are impotent.
The Objectivist movement is dead. Ayn Rand is now just a historical figure who hopefully will have a legacy of note somewhere in the future. The only people fighting the good war against Leftist and Muslim evil are Conservatives. Not Objectivists and not libertarians (the latter are largely on the side of the Left). Objectivists are too busy colonizing Mars while Rome burns.
