The Powers that Be are really confused about now

In Oakland the police disbanded an Occupy Oakland encampment. They also managed to shoot an Iraq war veteran. Acorn didn't shoot the veteran and the Communists didn't shoot the veteran, the Jews did not shoot the veteran, nope, the police shot the man and he hadn't done anything other than stand in the street. When these things happen, there are consequences.

Hundreds of marines and ex-marines have been discussing what happened on Reddit

How I feel, as a United States Marine, about what occurred in Oakland.

After the Oakland suppression occurred, the protesters returned the next day. Fearing more bad publicity the idiot of a mayor said that she was glad that everything worked out peacefully and that they could stay a little longer. Do you understand how stupid and laughable that sounds to everybody.

Today the media had articles all across the United States about how expensive it was to the poor cities and counties to have to have the police on overtime. They are appealing to people's pocketbook; but, people who are unemployed or barely employed don't really care and the police are happy to get the overtime.

I have no political affiliations, gave that once I saw how corrupt the system is. I conduct church on Sundays and am a pacifist. Anybody who has followed this blog or reads the older posts can see that I am clearly not a Communist or a member of Acorn or a hippy or stupid or unwilling to work. My salary had me in the top 5% income bracket for people who actually work for a living (as opposed to true income, trust funds for the elite). I am not a member of Occupy anything other than occupy yourself with service. I am however a student of history.

I mention the above because I want my reader to understand my position and I do have one. I believe that Jesus taught us to be good slaves. At the same time I understand the position of the Tea Partiers and Occupy movements. People are sheep and always have been, that is the vast majority of people. The majority just found out that they are sheep when they thought they were not and they don't like it. My job in life has always been the one of a sheepdog. Protect the sheep and make sure we are headed in the direction the shepherd is taking us. I don't like the shepherd, he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep. They are bad shepherds. For those of you who know your bible, you will understand what I am saying.

Here is where the problem begins, I will not be a sheepdog for swine pretending to be shepherds. The sheepdog does not hate the sheep, they hate him; but, he does not hate them, his joy is in helping his shepherd; but, not when the shepherd harms the sheep wrongly. The police are supposed to be sheepdogs; but, some will act like predators. What happens when there are too many predators, you have no sheep and the shepherd dies too. Of course this is an analogy; but; it is God's analogy. The people who truly own everything have forgotten the basics. Sheep are sheep and sometimes they won't listen. What do you do when the sheepdogs don't listen also? You lose. That is what you do because you cannot get anything done.

I speak in parables, analogies and nonsense; but, what I say is true. I know my history. When plain speak fails to get attention and examples are ignored then history repeats itself. Life for many will soon be bad. You cannot ignore the sheep and sheepdogs no longer care what you think. You do not lead sheep to fields of thistles, even the sheepdog knows that. What happens when nobody listens, there are no shepherds. Don't hurt the sheep or it all goes bad for all.
