Blood Money Never Buys Peace

Blood Money Never Buys Peace

By Pamela Jackson | The Phoenix Coach™

There’s a certain kind of silence that screams.

A silence that falls after the cameras are gone…
after the press conferences fade…
after the settlements are signed.
And in that stillness—mothers still mourn. Fathers still ache. Whole generations still bear scars from trauma turned transaction.

Because blood money never buys peace.

It doesn’t restore a stolen heartbeat.
It doesn’t replace a child ripped from a mother’s arms.
It doesn’t rebuild trust when the system has shattered it—publicly, repeatedly, and unapologetically.

They Offer a Check When What We Need is Change

When injustice happens, they calculate cost—not consequences.
How much hush money does it take to bury a headline?
How many zeroes to silence a movement?
They call it a settlement, but nothing about it settles our souls.

Because this isn't about dollars—
It's about dignity.

The Soul Debt Runs Deep

What price do you put on the life of a loved one?

Tamir. Atatiana. Jordan. Sandra. George.
Your son. My niece. Our ancestors.

Blood spilled on pavement. Grief inked into police reports.
And still, we keep tallying trauma with no true justice in sight.

They say “justice was served” because a family got paid.
But that payout doesn’t prosecute corruption.
It doesn’t heal the PTSD.
It doesn’t hold the guilty accountable.

They Can’t Print Enough to Pay What Was Taken

Real peace isn’t found in payouts—it’s built in policy.

It’s in reform. In accountability. In the dismantling of systems that profit from pain.
In honoring the names of the fallen—not with checks, but with change.

Because peace can’t be bought.
It’s not transactional.
It’s transformational.

A New Currency

We want a new kind of currency.
One made of truth. Of action. Of accountability.

Let the cost of injustice be felt in power shifts.
In legislation. In mass movements.
In grassroots campaigns and election booths.

We don’t want hush money.
We want healing.
We want safety.
We want sovereignty.

🩸 Because blood money never buys peace—
But collective truth-telling?
That’s the revolution money can’t stop.

Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob

  Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob How Public Systems Mirror Shell Companies to Profit Off Pain By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently™ | #TheSilentEvictionSeries They called it racketeering when Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly used a web of shell companies to silence victims, funnel money, and protect his empire. But what do you call it when the government does the same thing ? Because make no mistake— they do . And they’ve been doing it longer, better, and with far more devastating reach. 🏛️ Shell Companies 101 — And the Dirty Mirror A shell company is a business with no active operations. It exists to: - Hide ownership - Move money - Dodge taxes or responsibility - Operate in secrecy Sounds shady, right? Now look at this: Shell Company Tactic Government System Equivalent LLC with no employees Non-profit front group or subcontractor that receives federal funding Layers of ownership Third-party contractors running public housing, CPS, charter schools Money ...

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference?

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference? Two cases. One pattern. A system that never stopped. By The Phoenix Coach™ The short answer? Race. Media bias. And who gets the luxury of being called a victim. In 2012, the world watched George Zimmerman pursue 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through a Florida neighborhood, against the advice of 911. Trayvon, carrying Skittles and iced tea, was doing nothing more than walking home. Minutes later, he was dead. Zimmerman claimed self-defense under Florida’s “ Stand Your Ground ” law. He said Trayvon attacked him. But Trayvon couldn’t speak for himself—because he was murdered. There were no close-range witnesses. No one who could challenge Zimmerman’s narrative. And so, he walked free. Fast forward to today. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Texas—only this time, the Black teen is alive . His name is Karmelo Anthony (not the celebrity athlete, but a young man whose story is being warped by the media and weaponized by conservative outlets for clic...

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear There are some stories you don’t just watch—you feel. When the headlines broke about Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy , I didn’t need the full details to understand the truth. I didn’t need the video footage to validate what I already knew in my spirit. Because I’ve lived it. Because I’m a Cassie too. ✖️ The Abuse That Doesn’t Leave Bruises Not all abuse shows up in black and blue. Some of it looks like luxury. Like gifts with invisible strings. Like silence in exchange for safety. Like walking on marble floors with a mind full of landmines. Some of us were taught to: mistake control for protection mistake trauma bonds for real love confuse gaslighting for guidance And when we tried to speak up? We were labeled dramatic. Unstable. Disloyal. 🏛️ The System Protects Its Own What happened to Cassie isn’t just a “celebrity problem.” It’s a systemic problem. It’s a spiritual problem. It’s what happens when: power gets licensed money...
