*(Denotes a change or new information added to the original blog)
**UPDATE (Denotes NEW information added to the blog after the original blog)
***This blog is submitted and contributed as a part of the War on Racial Discrimination (WRD) in California (and the United States). It is particularly dedicated to Christopher Dorner, the first leader of the WRD, and now, Aaron Alexis, a new leader.
When Aaron Alexis set out on his killing spree, he, like Christopher Dorner before him, declared war, and joined in the war, on racial discrimination in America. While he likely did not possess all of the qualities of a leader that Dorner possessed, he clearly possessed the most important two: he had no fear of death and he was willing and prepared to die. "There are indicators that Alexis was prepared to die during the attack and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions." L.A. Times, "Alexis said he was 'driven' to kill", September 26, 2013. See my blog on Christopher Dorner as the first leader of the WRD. I do not know enough about Alexis to fully comment on whether or to what extent he possessed any of the remaining qualities of a leader, so I will place any further comment on his leadership qualities on hold until later. See Id. (the Christopher Dorner blog on Dorner's leadership qualities, i.e., no fear of death and ready to die).
While the white mass media has attempted to focus on such things as a suspect security clearance, mental problems, and gun control as contributors to Alexis's killing spree, while publicly stating that a motive for the killing is undetermined, I choose to focus on racial discrimination both as the cause and motive for the killings.
While the white mass media (and some of the Black press has succumb to the same indoctrination) has (and intentionally I believe) propagandized the fact that no motive has been ascertained for the killings (because unlike Chris Dorner, Alexis did not leave a "mainfesto" explaining his actions or what lead to the actions), and that it appears that Alexis was experiencing mental problems (which, through insinuation, caused him to "go off" as a crazy man and just start killing people, e.g., "Alexis had complained that he was hearing voices and being bombarded by microwaves", L.A. Times, "Navy didn't have full story on shooter", September 24, 2013), I choose to ignore the propaganda and focus on the bits and pieces of information that I have been abled to discover which sensibly (reasonably and rationally), together with America's racial history involving Black people, lead to the conclusion that Alexis's killing spree was the result of Alexis feeling and believing that he had been discriminated against at his job based on race, and more importantly, believing that he had no other recourse for relief, i.e., he had no confidence that he could obtain relief for the discrimination from the "system" (and he was probably right).
What little information that I have been able to acquire regarding the racial discrimination has generally come from the internet, not the mass media. Although one very important piece of evidence did come from television news, as an aside. See infra.
Here are a few of the "bits and pieces of information" that support a motive of racial (and/or employment) discrimination for Alexis's killing spree :
1. "Another friend said Alexis had complained of racial discrimination." Mail Online, September 16, 2013. "Mr. (Michael) Ritrovato, a 50-year-old government worker and New York native, said that Alexis, an African-American, had complained to him that he was the victim of racial discrimination." Id.
2. "Alexis also complained about the Navy and being a victim of discrimination during his time as a reservist from 2007 to 2011." Id.
3. (Ty)"Thairintr said Alexis told him he was upset with the Navy because 'he thought he never got a promotion because of the color of his skin. He hated his commander.'" Id.
4. "Aaron Alexis reportedly felt. . . that he was racially discriminated against." Breitbart Connect (breitbart.com), September 17, 2013.
5. "According to his best friend, Nutpisit Suthamtewakul, 31, who runs the Happy Bowl Thai restaurant, Alexis 'had been in the Navy but was unemployed. . . . He never got angry with us. He was always very nice to us. He had a couple of issues with being black. He felt he hadn't been treated right, not by the Navy, just generally. He didn't have a lot of friends - me, my wife and family, and people from temple." Id.
***6. "New information on the history and motivations of Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard shooter who took the lives of 12 individuals, reveals that Alexis was fueled by what he felt was 'racial discrimination' during his top secret level job." Infowars (infowars.com), "Aaron Alexis Fueled By The Establishment's Race War", September 17, 2013.
***I principally rely on this asserted fact for the basis of my assertion and belief that Alexis was principally motivated by a feeling of racial discrimination for committing his killing spree.
7. "'He also felt racially discriminated against, and believed he had been financially "screwed" over a contracting job in Japan at the end of last year, friends said.'" Id.
8. "An African American, Mr. Alexis sometimes complained he was the victim of dicrimination and racial bias. Noticing that Mr. Alexis did not have steady employment, Mr. Suthamtewakul invited him to work at the restaurant, where Mr. Alexis, who spoke fluent Thai, made a positive impression on customers." Stormfront.org, "Did racial bias and discrimination drive Aaron Alexis to commit Navy Yard shooting?", September 16, 2013.
9. "Alexis was generally easygoing, she (Suthamtewakul) said in an interview at the family restaurant, the Happy Bowl in White settlement. But he bristled when describing his service in the Navy and the benefits he believed had been withheld. 'He just felt slighted by what he was getting each month,' she said." L.A. Times, "Disparate profiles emerge after attack", September 17, 2013.
***10. "Alexis seemed to hold grudges. He was upset over a salary dispute with his employer, a government subcontractor called The Experts, according to an official close to the investigation. Id.
***(see above)
11. "Ty Thairintr, 52, a Fort Worth tooling design engineer, said he met Alexis about five years ago, when Alexis was still in the Navy. 'He told me he believed he has superior abilities to his co-workers but he didn't get promoted,' he said. Id. "Alexis felt discriminated against because he was black, he said." Id.
12. "A Buddist convert who had also had flare-ups of rage, Alexis, a black man who grew up in New York City and whose last known address was in Fort Worth, Texas, complained about the Navy and being a victim of discrimination." L.A. Watts Times, "Gunman Navy Yard rampage had mental problems", September 19, 2013 .
13. Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office stated that Alexis "was involved in a 'routine' office disagreement the Friday before. . . ." L.A. Times, September 26, 2013 (above). Only Alexis knows for sure how Alexis interpreted that office disagreement and whether or not that "office disagreement" affected Alexis's motive for the killings.
***14. Finally, as reported on television, the killings took place at Alexis's latest workplace, Bldg. 197. This was not a coincidence; it was deliberate. Why did he choose his latest workplace to do the killings, if the killings were strictly random killings by a "madman"? Clearly, the workplace building was targeted, even if the particular people were not.
*** (see above)
So, Aaron Alexis's motive for the killing spree at the Naval Yard was retaliation for or reaction to racial discrimination that he believed he suffered at the hands of the Navy in prior years (i.e., a delayed response) and his last employer, The Experts, presently.
Aaron Alexis, like Chris Dorner before him, declared war on racial discrimination in America. And, as I indicated in my Dorner blog, some innocent people will nearly always die during a war. Regarding the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and Army Pfc. Bradley Manning providing classified materials to WikiLeaks, "Among the secret material that WikiLeaks obtained from Manning and posted on its site were combat videos of civilians being killed in U.S. airstrikes. . . ." L.A. Times, "Private's trial, government's test", June 2, 2013. And, "The government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone strikes are counterproductive, entail loss of innocent civilian lives, have human rights and humanitarian implications and violate the principles of national sovereignty, territorial integrity and international law. . . ." L.A. Times, "Drone target accused of 'horrific attacks'", May 30, 2013.
"Obama acknowledged that drone strikes he has ordered have killed innocent people." L.A. Times, "Obama reveals conflicted thinking on drone strikes", May 24, 2013. "'For me and those in my chain of command, those deaths will haunt us as long as we live, just as we are haunted by the civilian casualties that have occurred throughout conventional fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq,' he (Obama) said."
If you review my Dorner blog, you will see where I predicted that "Of course, the method of Christopher Dorner will, necessarily, be one of the methods used in the war(WRD). But, as with Chris Dorner, it will be a method of last resort. But, there's no doubt that the method will ultimately have to be used again because the white majority generally sleeps on the other methods; again, review my case after the racially-motivated closure of my law office. It requires the Dorner method to wake them up, and clearly, Dorner woke them up." As did Alexis here.
When Dorner started the war, he killed about four or five people (and spared others) while wounding several others. Alexis surpassed Dorner and killed 12 people during the war. How many will the next leader kill ?
My biggest regret about the killings is that Alexis did not target the real racists, because without knowing for sure, I do believe that several of the people he killed likely were "innocent" people, although some may not have been, and I do feel for innocent people dying, even during a racial war. But, for the racist or "racial" people who were killed, they got what they deserve.
Another regret I have about the Alexis killings is that Alexis did not leave a "manifesto" like Chris Dorner. All future WRD leaders should follow the leadership of Chris Dorner and leave manifestoes, so that it will be clear that any related killings are part of the WRD and not just random or unintended.
So, how many "leaders" will it take before America wakes up and decide to take drastic steps to eradicate racial discrimination in the country? How many more innocent people will need to die?
Although Dr. Janis Orlowski, chief medical officer of Medstar Washington Hospital Center *in Washington, D.C., indirectly addressed the issue of racial discrimination in the country when she stated, "There is something evil in our society that we as Americans have to work to try and eradicate", Press-Telegram, "There's 'Something evil in our society'", September 18, 2013, I will address the issue directly by stating that the "something evil in our society" is racial discrimination, and "we as Americans have to work to try and eradicate it". Dr. Orlowski continued, "There's something wrong here", Id., and I will state that the "something wrong" is racial discrimination. She continued, "The only thing I can say is we have to work together to get rid of it." Id. I will state, the "it" is racial discrimination. Finally, she stated, "We've got to figure this out". Id. I state directly, we have got to take immediate steps to eradicate racial discrimination. I think the country knows about the problem of racial discrimination, so there's no figuring it out needed. What is needed is implementation of the solution (stop the discrimination on the basis of race--either voluntarily or through civil and criminal prosecution).
I realize that at points Dr. Orlowski may be referring to mass killings by gunshots in general. However, I am convinced that the "evil" she refers to in our society that we have to work to eradicate is racial discrimination, because unlike the several other mass killings (which really arose from personal problems, usually associated with mistreatment of some kind, of the individuals doing the shooting), the Alexis killings, like the Dorner killings, arose from societal problems, stemming from racial discrimination.
So, I predict that there will be other "leaders", because it's clear that the U.S. government (including the white mass media which projects the government's voice), at this time, instead of trying to address the problem of racial discrimination in the country, is trying to cover it up, e.g., broadcasting to the American people that there is no motive for Alexis's killings when they know that there is at least some evidence that the motive is racial discrimination at the workplace, and that there is no indication of a workplace dispute (knowing that there was), and emphasizing such things as a security clearance, Alexis's past disciplinary record, or mental problems as reasons for the killings, in order to divert attention away from the real problem, which is racial discrimination.
Nothing the Government would have done regarding Alexis's security clearance would have prevented what happened. These types of mass killings cannot be prevented by any security methods because they are brought by surprise and they would thwart any type of security mechanism, e.g., if a building has a security setup like the federal buildings and airports, a determined shooter would simply do his shooting before or without entering the building.
Further proof that the Government has no intention of trying to quell or eradicate racial discrimination at this time is the Justice Department's refusal to issue a decision regarding the prosecution of George Zimmerman and Johannes Mehserle for violating the civil rights of Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant, respectively.
Any proof to the American people that the Government is intending to try and eradicate racial discrimination will have to initially come from the Justice Department, with a showing that it is earnestly prosecuting civil rights cases, both civil and criminal. Thusfar, on the whole, it is not doing so.
I believe that the relatives of the "innocent" killed victims will have to play a major role in the pursuance of the eradication of racial discrimination in the country. They suffer the greatest immediate loss, and they would have the most influential voice with the Government. President Obama and Attorney General Holder pay no attention to the pleas of Black people in this country, e.g., the prosecution of George Zimmerman and Johannes Mehserle, but they would likely pay attention to the mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers of the killed victims of the racial discrimination war and crusade, especially if they are white. It would be unusual for the relatives to charge the government with "doing nothing to stop racial discrimination" (which caused the deaths of their loved ones), but it would be justified and probably, most effective in trying to prevent further loss of life in the future. It was racial discrimination (and the lack of confidence that anything was being done about it) that caused the loss of the 13 lives lost in the Navy Yard killings.
Finally, although Alexis did not possess all of the leadership traits of Chris Dorner, he did possess most of them. From the seven identified traits, see the Chris Dorner blog, Alexis possessed the following :
(1)Strength- it took strength to do what Alexis did, knowing that he would probably die in the end. A weak person could not have and would not have done what he did. He or she might have thought about it, but the follow-through wouldn't have been there.
(2)Courage- it took courage to do what Alexis did because he realized that the probable consequences of his actions would be to give up any hope of pursuing happiness or the so-called "American Dream", e.g., a family, a home, a future, or any other ventures that he may have wanted to entertain in the future, because , again, he knew that he would probably die. There are many Black men who want to do what Alexis and Chris Dorner did, trust me, but they don't have the courage to do it; especially when it comes to dying. Rather, like me, some of them choose to rely on the non-Dorner methods to try and obtain so-called "justice", which rarely work.
(4) Character- Alexis revealed some attributes about himself that indicated he possessed at least some good character. Even though I believe that Alexis believed that he was the victim of racial discrimination, Alexis himself, like Chris Dorner, apparently, was not a racist. He did not target only white people to kill. He killed both black and white people. He was simply targeting people at his worksite, whoever they were. His anger was worksite-related rather than racially- motivated. Again,"Mr. Alexis, who spoke fluent Thai, made a positive impression on customers." Stormfront.org. How many non-Asian Americans, not to mention Black Americans, can speak fluent Thai? And to travel to a foreign country and learn the language of that country, and a Black man too? Please! And then communicate with Asian people in Thai in an American restaurant. Please! That's character. "He was a very nice person", (Afton) Bradley said in a phone interview. 'It kind of blows my mind away. I wouldn't think anything bad at all.'" MailOnline. Moreover, "Alexis was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal prior to his discharge (from the Navy)." MailOnline. And, (H)e attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and worked as a network technician at SinglePoint Technologies." Id.
(6) No fear of death- Alexis, like Chris Dorner, had no fear of death, apparently.
(7) Ready to die- as alluded to above, Alexis, like Chris Dorner, was ready to die when he began his killing spree, knowing that he would probably lose his life, and all of life's potential offerings.
I do not have enough information to solidly comment on Alexis's possession of traits or qualities (3)integrity and (5)honesty. I would need more information.
Rest in peace, Aaron. Your dying will not be in vain. The war continues.
**UPDATE--March 21, 2014
The white news media has produced another article trying to rationalize Aaron Alexis's shooting spree towards a mental health problem rather than a racial discrimination or employment discrimination problem, and continues to stress a "defective" security clearance as a possible cause of the shooting. The article cites a recent Navy investigation which suggests that the killing spree "might have been stopped if his employer had reported his strange behavior to the government." Sure, and his killing spree might have been stopped if his employers didn't discriminate against him also. The article also notes that the Naval investigation "concluded that the Navy and the Defense Department repeatedly failed to follow their own rules for monitoring Alexis". Yet another scapegoat excuse and refusal to face reality (that the people who discriminated against Alexis want to and intend to discriminate racially again in the future).
Again, Alexis went on his shooting spree because he was fed up and mad as hell, and was not going to take anymore. He had reached his breaking point and decided it was time to take some kind of action against his discriminating enemies. If he had any real mental problems, they only helped him to do what he did sooner. Without the mental problems, he might have delayed the shooting spree. But, it was the racial discrimination that prompted or motivated him to go on the shooting spree in the first place. And, it could not have been prevented, regardless of information about his mental state or security clearance, because no one knew it was coming (which demonstrates that his mental state was not that bad).
