Title: The Badge
Post by: Rastaman Vibration on September 03, 2013, 05:31 am
I was arrested by an undercover cop years ago. After he threw me to the ground and pinned his knee in my chest, he shoved his badge in my face. I'll never forget it. That shiny little emblem of Babylon is what gave that pig the authority to use force against me.

The badge. Its just a symbol. But its also so much more.

It represents (theoretically) the will of the people, as a whole, to keep our society "safe". But somewhere along the way, its meaning and purpose became corrupted and perverted. In actuallity, it represents the will of those in power, not that of humanity as a whole.

The badge is just another instrument of Babylon's mind-fuck. They mind-fuck the wearer into thinking his actions are righteous and just. More importantly, they mind-fuck the public into thinking those that wear a badge have authority over them. Without that badge, that pig is just an ordinary citizen.

As Timothy Leary once said, "Think for yourself, and question authority". Fuck authority. And fuck the badge that magically grants it. Fuck the police!

I remember a quote from who knows who: "A lot of people respect the badge. The rest respect the gun."

Today I think "respect" should be exchanged for "fear". Fear rules all tyrannies.

We are all criminals, especially those sworn to protect criminals from criminals.

It's a matter of severity, how often you announce it, and when you slip up that determines when - or if - you are "caught." I say if, because some can go til their last day without ever being arrested, but they sure broke the law in their time, in some form or another.

The police are only in charge because they have the means and physical power to do so, if you out power them, they are no longer "in charge".
