Our intentional community has for the last four years bought all petroleum from specialists living further east of along the Oregon Trail. The drivers and support community that move the oil are all African-Americans originally from Queens New York. They call themselves The Walkers. Their story is an interesting perspective on black communities since the collapse of government.
They no longer live on the East Coast, preferring a nomadic trucking existence between the upper Mississippi River and Pacific Coast. Upon arriving west of the Mississippi, the distance from urban black culture was not a shock. While in New York they had begun to forge an outlier culture all their own. Their cultural transformation began in 2008.
In overnight stays at our "commune" ( one might call it that ), a few of the drivers have related the chain of events in New York 2008-2010. It goes basically like this (excuse the bullet list style, use of the word "thugs" and lack of details, its all I remember them saying):
Undercover cops were at the drug and prostitute haven Club Kalua when a group of known drug dealers with former weapons violations started acting aggressively and then one tried to attack the undercover agents using his car to run them down.
The undercover agents shot over 50 bullets into the car, killing the drug dealer and also successfully stopping the car.
The drug dealer in the car was Sean Bell, a black man. All the men shot at were black, two of the police were black.
Career agitator Al Sharpton called for protests that would shut-down the city. In those protests were signs such as "Kill the Cops" and black women were screaming at black policemen to leave the force.
The protests did cripple the city economically, and the police ceased to patrol or enforce laws in most of Harlem, some of Brooklyn and Queens.
The black communities were in meltdown. The very factions expressing rage over the killing of a thug turned out to be the thugs and activists of the black community, and not any of the black business owners or professional classes. Crime was unmitigated.
The Walkers were already unique, and uniquely empowered, getting all their income from Chinese needing local orienteering in business investments.
They were sponsored by the Chinese to clean up the anarchy, rid the black neighborhoods of people and institutions Mao Tse-Tung would have considered scum. They were issued a little black and gold book written by Mao with descriptions of the scum and recommended means of eradication.
The first target was the Club Kalua. The Walkers waited until a wedding party for a notorious Harlem crack dealer was being held there. They burned the place down with everyone still inside. This was the first of many similar measures.
Black business owners were thrilled, and gave The Walkers praise in the local neighborhood newspapers. Many credit them with forging the now dominant role blacks have as proactive anti-crime agents at the community level.
The Walkers had massive income and credibility, but knew organized black crime would be targeting them soon. They purchased a fleet of oil tanker trucks from Russians ( see photos in this post ) which they use to live in and transport energy and chemical supplies for a living.
This year The Walkers began special support of our commune in an effort to enable the one-global-Google-planet-brain, and are helping end the schismatic BlackGoogle.com
