Fatherless Families, Lack of Education, Dropping Out of School are the Individual's Greatest Causes of Poverty that Leads to Guns, Gangs and Violence.







From the outset after acts of violence involving guns, knives, drugs and gangs the media, societies, usually special
 interest groups and those involved, including the perpetrators, ALL attempt first to lay the blame on the police officers and society as a whole BUT  never on those who directly caused the rioting, looting or shootings, beatings, rapes or drug deals? It seems everyone is reluctant to lay out the facts about crime by race, colour or ethnic background. 

What are the reasons for this?  One obvious reason is the fact that "According to 72.2 % of the U.S. population, fatherlessness is the most significant family or social problem facing America.

Along with facts that academia's new norm of Political correctness!

Social justice for all and a revised new world order introduced by bureaucrats so politicians and society, in general, would no longer have to tell it like it is or acknowledge the facts that some humans are failures and lack ambition in life. You see special interest groups along with unelected bureaucrats and technocrats' agenda for a never-ending push for their socialistic collectivization policy that winning is not important and failure is not permitted to exist any longer? This philosophy is total BS.

Let’s keep those thoughts for another day as we know and have known for the past 75 years that individuals who fail to obtain a high school degree are more than twice as likely to fall into poverty along with the fact that a majority of these kids today have no fathers in their daily lives.

We also have the stats confirming that for the past 30 years or more poverty rates throughout North America are highest amongst Blacks, be they African American or African Canadian, aboriginals, Hispanics and Immigrants having English as a Second Language and Students in rural communities.    

For example, in Canada alone, over 40,000 students consisting of mainly Blacks, Aboriginals and (ESL) students continue to drop out of high school annually. Yet our career politicians with their respective political parties and their supportive self-serving special interest groups have to keep asking themselves what are the immensely complex issues that are causing actions of the criminal behaviour of shooing, gangs, violence and drugs?

At least for the last century, the very first cause of poverty, prosperity and inequality relates back to the individuals' lack of basic education, parental guidance and family supervision.

Our children do not learn when we continue down the path of lowering educational standards so no one fails as a feel-good political policy and they shall continue to drop out of school and the cycle of more problems continue as they will not be in a position to be gainfully employable due to their lack of education. 

And thus the disparity of incomes in society between dropouts and professionals or those with a basic educational foundation of a high school diploma or trade shall remain very high, which goes to show the importance of education in eradicating poverty.

Throughout North America, only 41% of Black men graduate from high school and 69% of black children cannot read at grade level in the 4Th grade, compared with 29% among white children.

85% of the government’s welfare spending and 80% of inmates in federal jails,  the majority of them being inner-city black kids, aboriginals, immigrants, (ESL) students along with students in rural communities is spent on these groups within society.

Yet we shy away from these facts because of fears that someone might label us as racists, bigoted for acknowledging the truth! 
Well so be it, because the unprecedented amount of tax dollars being spent on social programs for social justice over the past fifty years has NOT solved an individual’s prosperity, inequality or poverty. 

Because the facts keep telling us that what has always been needed was for one to take full responsibility for one’s own life by first getting elementary and secondary education that has been free to all groups within society.

By dropping out of school both the parents and kids obviously do not understand or accept the fact that to achieve as high social status as possible and to avoid self-inflicted shame and humiliation they must at least finish high school and get a diploma.  

Hopefully today within society more and more people are taking notice of the fact that simply food provision, health care programs and monetary welfare handouts in no way are helping in the eradication of poverty.

Just the opposite as it prolongs one's existence and reliance on such handouts.  

With close to 50,000 kids in Canada annually dropping out of school coupled with the existing 3,500,000 MILLION plus individuals between the ages of 18 to 35 who lack a high school education and are the leading burden on Canada’s welfare, health care, and prison systems you think these kids, society and the career politicians with their respective political parties would get the picture.

Education itself is not a complicated issue and as a society, we do not need any new models that will improve the educational outcomes for individual students. 

What is urgently needed is a far greater personal effort and commitment by black students themselves and their parents or parent to finish high school and get their individual diplomas or trade as their personal investment within society. 

We must demand that our youth be required to remain in school classrooms, trades school or apprenticeship programs that continually demand excellence in reading, writing, math and sciences until the age of 21 if they have not graduated.   

Society cannot do it for them! They must want to get an education for themselves as no amount of money will ever change that simple fact. 

PS. 


“Without a high school education or trade, the individual person will not have the basic and necessary essential tools required throughout life for successfully pursuing a logical deliberate purpose in achieving as high a social status as possible and to avoid self-inflicted shame and humiliation as a human being,” Peter Clarke.

Criminals, Thugs, Gangs, Drugs and Violence the New Toronto and GTA Plus North America








Toronto's problems have mostly been due to youthful criminals, thugs and gangs' disrespect for civil authority, our police officers and law and order by blacks, whites, reds, yellows, greens or pink criminal welfare trailer trash types with illegal guns, knives that involve drugs and gangs.




Torontonians, like North America's legal residents and citizens, have had enough with slap on the wrist justice by activist judges and career politicians passing the buck while eating off the same public trough and politically appointed police chiefs that state there are no gang problems or black crime waves. Even though we do have a gang problem as the violence continues to increase and run rampant throughout the cities and suburbs across Toronto the GTA and indeed the USA.


More financial handouts are NOT the solution! 

The only remedy is education and jobs. However, most of these types of individuals have already dropped out of school and basically society because of continued financial assistance when they should have been at school receiving an education and trades training for future jobs.

Citizens urgently need chiefs of police who clearly understand that THERE is a Gang and Drug problem mainly within the black and Asian communities caused by individuals that have a chip on their shoulder, drop out of high school, do not accept authority, take no responsibility for their shortfalls or life itself and then expect others to pay for their cradle to grave welfare services.

All law-abiding citizens and legal residents urgently require politicians who can lead, take responsibility and uphold the laws.

And who has the political courage to acknowledge and admit that our policies for multiculturalism are failing and that many POC have huge chips on their shoulders and others who are unable or do not leave their former countries' barbaric laws, political problems and biases at our borders?

We need elected judges NOT unqualified lawyers or laypersons appointed by unelected bureaucrats and rubber-stamped career politicians who are purely puppets for their respective political parties.

When if ever will our politicians, judges and courts take seriously the lawlessness and criminal activities of gangs, drug use, thugs and illegally masked lawless protesters and others, with a degree of the highest seriousness before it is too late? As opposed to the current slap-on-the-wrist sentencing? 

We no longer can afford politicians who usurp their rights to behind-the-scenes wire-pullers, special interest groups and unelected or appointed technocrats and bureaucrats to make decisions on behalf of the voters.

As a society, we have permitted non-elected bureaucrats and technocrats to be appointed into positions of setting policy based on special interest groups, unions and biased reasons, ideologies and preferences of forcing their ideals onto all citizens by reducing individual rights to create a society that must conform to only one viewpoint, theirs. And all without any directly elected accountability or authority from the citizens at large. 

Their policies have revolved around taking one's individual rights of the decision-making process away, by allowing others and the unelected bureaucracy within government to decide for us cradle-to-grave responsibilities and decisions, that once were democratically reserved solely for families and individuals.

Decisions and policies that have been far more concerned with the opinions of the unelected media types and the rights of criminals at the direct expense of the victims or
United Nations rules relating to Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners or criminals and the well-being and life of animals, birds and the bees, rather than human life, the rights of law-abiding citizens along with an individual’s responsibility within our fragile democratic civil society.

Wake up people before it is too late and Toronto becomes yet another Detroit MI, Oakland CA, Flint MI, Chicago or ST. Louise MO. etc etc

Drugs, Guns, Violence and Lawless Protesters, We Let it Happen to Us

 

We the taxpaying, nonvoting and voting public have allowed Canada, our communities and cities, to disintegrate into morally disgusting lifestyles of arrogance, handouts for non-existing entitlements, disrespect for human life and law and order, perversion and a Hollywood overfed sexual and drug culture immorality.

We have permitted non-elected bureaucrats and technocrats to be appointed into positions of setting policy based, on their reasons and speech, without any directly elected accountability or authority from the citizens at large.   

Their policies have revolved around deciding for us the cradle-to-grave decisions that once were democratically reserved solely for families and individuals.

Decisions and policies that have seen and been far more concerned with the well-being and life of animals, birds and bees, rather than human life and the individual's responsibility within our fragile democratic civil society.

These unelected De facto elements within our democratic society are supported, financed and backed by special interest groups, unions and political parties of all stripes.


The fact that they are unelected yet purport to be representatives of the masses to protect themselves should this new world order as they collectively envisioned collapse and once again be destroyed as was the tower of Babel. 


This weekend's shootings at one of Toronto's major tourist attractions and shopping malls highlight a city and society that is out of control of the politicians, police and law-abiding citizens.

No longer can we as a democratic society allow such barbaric behaviour to play itself out within our subways, malls, schools and on our streets.

Both the gunman and his intended victim are equally blamable along with their friends, associates and families for covering up and condoning the illegal activities of both these individuals. As such they are just as responsible because of their individual failure to alert the police and others about these two dangerous disrespectful selfish individuals.   

We as a society should be mourning the decay of our civil society and start demanding action and punishment for all those remotely connected with such criminal behaviour.

When will our politicians, judges and courts be prepared to take the lawlessness and criminal activities of gangs, thugs masked protesters and others with a degree of seriousness, not just a slap on the wrist, or step down and leave the reins of power in the hands of elected representatives of the public in the justice system and police services boards who can and shall listen and be fully accountable to the electorate?

No longer can we allow unelected individuals to occupy the chairs of decision-making.
