Day 87: International Crime Research: Mass Murderers Part 1

This blog is a continuation from:

According to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder

"Mass murder (in military contexts, sometimes interchangeable with "mass destruction" or "genocide") is the act of murdering a large number of people (four or more), typically at the same time or over a relatively short period of time.[1] According to the FBI, mass murder is defined as four or more murders occurring during a particular event with no cooling-off period between the murders. A mass murder typically occurs in a single location in which a number of victims are killed by an individual or more.[2] Most acts of mass murder end with the death of the perpetrator(s), whether by direct suicide or being killed by law enforcement.[citation needed]

A mass murder differs from a spree killing in that it may be committed by individuals or organizations alike, whereas a spree killing may only be committed by one or two individuals. Mass murder may also be defined as the intentional and indiscriminate murder of a large number of people by government agents. Examples are the shooting of unarmed protestors, the carpet bombing of cities, the lobbing of grenades into prison cells and the random execution of civilians. Mass murderers are different from spree killers, who kill at two or more locations with almost no time break between murders and are not defined by the number of victims, and serial killers, who may kill large numbers of people over long periods of time. The largest mass killings in history have been attempts to exterminate entire groups or communities of people, often on the basis of ethnicity or religion. Some of these mass murders have been found to be genocides and others to be crimes against humanity, but often such crimes have led to few or no convictions of any type.

The concept of state-sponsored mass murder covers a range of potential killings. It is defined as the intentional and indiscriminate murder of a large number of people by government agents. Examples are shooting of unarmed protestors, carpet bombing of cities, lobbing of grenades into prison cells and random execution of civilians."

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to define humanity as separate groups, according to which I either like or dislike these separate groups, depending on whether they are similar to me and what I give value to within life.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to grow up accepting the fears of my parents and others adults of other groups - and through the accumulation of these fears into adulthood, I will even create inner conversations and thoughts about how I would react if faced with such a group and how I would through words or deeds attempt to remove the group - if I feel threatened due to my own accumulated fears.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself, by belonging to groups and organisations such as political parties and religion groups, confess that I am separate from most others and will familiarise myself with methodologies and methods that focus on the protection of oneself against other groups.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to have thoughts of harm towards other individuals as I allow myself to feel more threatened each day - by other groups/individuals - as I allow a society to exist which thrives off of competition and annihilation of the 'weak'.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to define some as being weak due to them appearing physically different than than myself, acting different to me or belonging to a different group - thus through developing such irrational justification I am pre-programming myself into a mass murderer of individuals who through societies values are deemed less worthy of life - thus justifying any harm, abuse or death that comes to such individuals - where I do not even flinch because I have already accepted that any group I label as inferior to myself does not deserve the rights I would like for myself, which is to live a dignified life without fear or harm.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to protect any government or group that preaches and practices separation, discrimination and judgment - whereby I am silently giving permission to the mass murders that occur each day - as those with power elected by the people - destroy the lives of those who do not have the ability to stand up for themselves.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to secretly believe that governments and politicians and religious leaders 'protect us from harm' - which is actually the division of labour and the monopolising of resources - away from those who are not able to stand up for themselves.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that each day that any group or individual is harmed or killed so another group is able to flourish - then myself as the one that benefits from such murder and harm, is in fact a co-conspirator in mass murder.

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see, realize and understand that the definition of mass murder, just like the definition of a serial killer is only interpreted as far as we are willing to live with ourselves and is never taken as far as bringing responsibility to any and all humans who allow the destruction or death of another group or individual so that another group/individual may prosper - therefore;

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that by standing back and watching as wars are fought to protect my lifestyle and wealth - is the same as signing a permission slip to mass murder any individual or group whom would interfere with my lifestyle - which is derived and designed through the sweat of others, who either conform to be a working slave to make my life more comfortable - or die from starvation;

therefore

I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that at any given moment if I allow a system to exist that will bring harm or death directly or indirectly to another group or individual so that I may flourish and live a life of pleasure - I am in fact a murderer of the masses that die each day in what is ignored and justified within Capitalism.

I commit myself to show that the current economic system is flawed, and that even one death within such a system, should always be brought under question - as it should show that the system requires revision and realignment as there is a point that was not taken into consideration - thus costing the Life of another.

Therefore I commit myself to show that capitalism is so flawed as it daily takes the lives of millions not to mention the continual abuse and suffering - but that we as humans have come to accept this as our fate - just like we have come to accept the good/evil concepts of a god and hell and that we are eternally condemned - and that is why mass murderers as the human civilisation try and suppress the reality of what we know we do and participate in each day - with drugs, alcohol and addictions.

I commit myself to show that Capitalism does not have to be flawed and that everything is here as a system for us to change to one that stands by the principles of protecting and honouring Life for all, instead of what exists now - as a system that corrupts and harms so a few may experience bliss.


We are thus here starting a project of investigating what Capitalism should be like according to its very own principles - and thus, what requires to be adjusted within the current Capitalistic system to make it a system that works for everyone. Equal Money Capitalism will be the necessary transition step to as a global society towards establishing an Equal Money System as presented at www.equalmoney.org.

Day 4: South African Crime Research - Xenophobia and Hate Crimes

HATE CRIMES: According to the Criminology and Security Sciences Study Guide (2012:166), from the University of South Africa hate crimes are referred to as “when individuals become victims of crime on the basis of their race, ethnicity, religion, political convictions and gender or sexual orientation.

The underlying criminal offenses that are labeled in hate crimes include, but are not limited to crimes against the person such as harassment, terroristic threats, assault and crimes against property like criminal trespass, criminal mischief and arson.  The internet has been identified as a new medium through which hate groups and individuals transfer their views (Hill 2008).

XENOPHOBIA: according to the Oxford English dictionary (2012) xenophobia is the intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries.

A list of Recommendations by various authors in the field of Victimology and Criminology for the prevention of future Xenophobic attacks (in South Africa):

1.     Provision for basic needs such as water (Hadland 2008).
2.     Community forums already in existence need to be expanded on and educated about how to facilitate communication (Hadland 2008)
3.    Housing policy needs to be revisited. (Hadland 2008)
4.      Service delivery issues need to be revisited (Hadland 2008).
5.       Migration policies need to be revisited as South Africans need to be educated on migration issues (Hadland 2008).
6.       A process needs to be implemented whereby people are integrated, so that they can become part of the community (Hadland 2008).
7.       The government should take responsibility – the failure of the governments to process people from other countries was a short term catalyst for the recent violence (Camerer 2008).
8.       Police, governments and ‘civil society’  had done and affective job in ending violence and assisting victims, however now short, medium and long term strategies were required to deal with the problem. (Camerer 2008).
9.     Parliament had to provide leadership, asses the entire legislative framework governing foreign nationals and address corruption in the department of home affairs. (Camerer 2008).
10.    Parliament should also look at police capacity to deal with such outbreaks of violence and closely monitor both the reintegration process and the prosecution in special courts of those arrested during violence (Camerer 2008).
11.   Care should be taken around allowing six million people from other countries to compete with South Africa for resources (Peter Mulder 2008).
12.    Steps should be taken to remove expressions that can be used on derogatory ways (2008).

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself as humanity to victimize and abuse people based on them being of a different race, culture or religion.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the design of religion and race , through which I firstly separate myself into a separate mind personality and beingness, which is separate from who I really am as the physical – thus opening the door to abusing myself and others in this world.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to abuse others in the name of race and culture, simply because abuse exists within me as the true nature of myself.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the existence of race and culture, instead of living practically here with all humans, as equals, created equally from and as the physical, but instead being driven through ego and self-interest to compete with others humans.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself as humanity to split people into races, countries and cultures, instead of realizing the time that we waste on such activities, where we could all be living equally and expressing ourselves.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to abuse myself and others through this competition as ‘different countries and races’  instead of standing up for life in all ways, to find practical, common sensical ways of living what is best for all – to remove anger, abuse and competition until it no longer exist as part of ‘human nature’.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing justifications such as ‘but god made us different’ to exist within me through which I continue to allow myself as the next generation to fuel the abuse that exist in the name of cultures and religions.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing any excuses such as ‘god; to exist within me, through which at any point I allow me as the abusive nature I have become to abuse others.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself when growing up, to accept the belief my parents taught me that people of other religions and cultures and races are different and bad, simply because they follow different ways of living and have different skin pigmentations.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing any form of abuse that existed in my past and in my present and in the future, simply because I watched as people abuse each other, without speaking up and changing myself to not allow any such abusive tendencies to exist within me.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to place the responsibility and control of the planets resources in the hands of governments, simply because I abdicated full self-responsibility as myself as a human for the effective, equal and one distribution of resources to all life on this planet.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing governments to exist because I have placed self direction and self responsibility in their hands.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing governments as the externalization of who I have become within, to abuse life and those who live on this planet, by controlling resources and giving resources only to those who have money.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing governments to exist.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing governments to deceive me, because I have allowed myself to deceive myself and others, therefore what exists as corrupt governments exists because I made the decision to allow greed and corruption.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to grow up believing that I have to deceive others to control my life and to survive above others.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the lie that exists within the current world systems called ‘communication’ which is basically survival based words spoken by people with money to people without money to further control them within their role within the current system.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing communication to exist around keeping people satisfied with the current world system and the lives they live within it, instead of getting to the core of what is required for us to live what is best for all.

I forgive myself for having accepted and allowed any form of false communication where in my mind I knew I was deceiving people to have a desired outcome.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing ‘processes of integration’ whereby I am basically saying that humans who have the birth right to live on this planet and have their basic needs met as our birth right have to go through processes to fit into communities, because communities cannot simply accept people as one and equal as life.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing processes to make it easier for myself to accept others.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing failure within governments as an ongoing thing in our world, instead of standing for effective management of what is here .

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the concept of short, middle and long term plans – which is deception – because we should be directing everything here already as what is best for all – and not have to pretend to care for life by forcing governments and ourselves to implement short, middle and long term solutions.

I forgive myself for not stopping the real reasons within myself why I as a human allow violence to exist within me, which is why violence exists within humanity and the world.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to exist in moments of violence and thoughts of violence, not realizing that I am the cause of the problem which I now expect the government to fix, while all the government is concerned about is protecting wealth and power.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing wealth and power to exist as my driving force in life, causing me to not find sustainable best for all solutions for all but to pretend to bring the end to violence while I know that I am not directing the real cause of the problem.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the lie which is psychology to exist, which tells humanity that we will never find the real reason why humanity allows self-deception, but that we can simply try and solve it by seeing psychologists, while in the world violence and abuse continues.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to not clearly directly see how the mind of each human works and the direct cause of the problems humanity face – by simply observing myself and others in my world.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the deliberate decision to not see what is really going on, because I know that money is behind how the world functions and I am so afraid of being poor that I will not question the current world systems.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing the existence of policing as a pretense to dealing with the symptoms of a problem which I know I have caused through what I have accepted and allowed as human nature, which I have lived as the nature of myself as that which exists in my mind as backchat, thoughts, feelings, emotions, words and deeds.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing statements such as ‘care should be taken around allowing six million people from other countries to compete with South Africa for resources’ – through which I am tacitly and directly saying that I want to control all resources of ‘my country’ so that I can have money and live a comfortably life, not sharing with the other inhabitants of this planet.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing greed to be my directive principle in which I will allow billions of beings to starve and live in horrendous conditions while I have my country protect me from other people.

For more self-forgiveness on borders, countries, nations 

I commit myself to honor all life on this planet, as my equals, regardless of color, nationality, category in society.

I commit myself to stopping all forms of separation within how I live and communicate with others to stop such abusive concepts such as nationality, race, gender – which is used in the current system simply to control money as people.

I commit myself that when I am in a position to provide for and manage resources for all, to do so from and as the principle of what is best for all.

I commit myself to direct myself in equality – to stop any practices of inequality within myself, from which the current world systems of abuse was designed.

I commit myself within my capacity here on this earth to find solutions for the world problems to end the  abuse that exists.

I commit myself to stand for life and to stand as the principle to bring about a world that is best for all

I commit myself to stop deception, war and abuse within myself.

I commit myself to stop the deception of borders and nationality which exist to separate and control in the name of greed.

I commit myself to bring about a world that is free from survival and self-interest, to a world where all are taken care of equally as the birth right of ourselves as life.
