   Gulfport, Mississippi – In an age where the Western world stands at the   
   brink of war in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and the South China Sea,   
   one prestigious United States military base finds itself already under   
   siege from an unexpected source: Black gun violence on the home front.   
      
   According to a shocking new report, Gulfport’s Naval Construction Battalion   
   Center (NCBC)—the U.S Navy base responsible for housing the Atlantic   
   Fleet’s decorated Navy “Seabees”—was forced to put its engineering   
   prowess   
   to good use by erecting a wall around the southern end of its perimeter.   
   Why? To physically shield its forces from a near-constant stream of gunfire   
   originating from subsided housing complexes across the street.   
      
   According to local media outlets, the 1,100-acre U.S. Naval base—made   
   notable for being the largest storage site for the genetics-altering   
   chemical weapon Agent Orange during the Vietnam War—first began erecting a   
   wall of roughly 20 storage containers in late 2022. Officials claimed the   
   purpose of the wall was to protect homes present on the base from stray   
   bullets originating from low-income Apartment complexes nearby.   
      
   A military spokesperson for the NCBC claimed that the barrier was meant to   
   be a “temporary solution” until the City of Gulfport found a way to reduce   
   Black gun violence organically. But now, the U.S. Navy is considering   
   replacing the wall of containers with a permanent concrete barrier after a   
   rash of shooting deaths and violent incidents have only soared well into   
   2023.   
      
   “We took prudent measures, including a barrier between the fence line and   
   base housing, to ensure the safest and most secure environment possible for   
   our personnel and residents,” said Seabee Captain Jeff Powell in a   
   statement to WLOX. “The force protection of our base, personnel and   
   families are our highest priority.”   
      
   While gun violence has long shrouded the 38% Black Gulfport, Mississippi,   
   the source of the stray rounds which directly threaten NCBC allegedly   
   originate from the William Bell apartment complex, a hotbed of suggested   
   Black violence. In a series of interviews conducted by NBC with those   
   living and working in Gulfport’s most “vibrant” and heavily affected   
   areas,   
   many describe a world full of dead teenagers, bullet-ridden walls, and   
   people running for cover from sporadic gunfire.   
      
   Earlier in the month, a 20-year-old Black man was shot and killed just a   
   few blocks away from the NCBC wall. Earlier in the night, two others were   
   shot at a birthday party in an unrelated incident nearby. In April, a   
   16-year-old pregnant Black girl was shot and killed, with Police charging a   
   15-year-old Black boy for the crime. A few days before that murder   
   unfolded, Police arrested another: a Black 20-year-old for his alleged role   
   in a bloody New Year’s Eve massacre that left four dead back in 2021.   
      
   As the bodies continue to stack and the bullets show no sign of stopping,   
   Gulfport resembles more and more like the foreign warzones institutions   
   like the U.S. Navy were designed to create, not home its fleets inside. But   
   if the problem has become so desperate, what is the solution?   
      
   According to Republican Mayor Billy Hewes, the onus is not on the state or   
   local government to restore law and order. Instead, he blames a lack of   
   private security, social programs for kids, and a void of parental   
   responsibility.   
      
   “That’s where I think we start having problems, when we rely on government   
   to solve everything,” said Mayor Hewes, a third-term Republican, in an   
   interview with NBC. “Quite frankly, what I’ve seen and experienced and   
   believe is that it starts at home.”   
      
   Meanwhile, opinions on the left side of the political spectrum appear to   
   echo the same lethargic platitudes Americans have come to expect. According   
   to State Rep. Jeffrey Hulum III, a Gulfport Democrat, he believes gun   
   control, buyback programs, and mental health services will somehow correct   
   the issue, even going so far as to recommend bulldozing the problem   
   apartments altogether. One retired schoolteacher believes a lack of   
   after-school activities are to blame and even points to the wall at NCBC   
   itself for unfairly “separating people.”   
      
   “I don’t like walls that separate people,” said Martha Lockhart-Mais in   
   an   
   NBC interview. “I feel that people should be able to live together without   
   having a barrier.”   
      
   Escalating Black violence, which has forced the U.S. Navy to respond, can   
   only be described as an international embarrassment, which further   
   demonstrates America’s tactical unwillingness to solve its myriad domestic   
   racial issues currently permeating throughout its crumbling Empire. In   
   February, a bombshell report from Rolling Stone highlighted a debilitating   
   drug epidemic present at America’s infamous Special Forces hub, Fort Bragg.   
   In 2021, the United States Army was lambasted by federal lawmakers for its   
   mishandling of minority-majority Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood), which   
   in 2020 saw a skyrocketing increase in murders, suicides, sexual assaults,   
   and other crimes.   
      
   Blows to the once prestigious U.S. Military are coming at a time when such   
   blows are increasingly difficult to mitigate, however. Despite a budget   
   quickly nearing 1 trillion dollars annually, the Pentagon is currently   
   experiencing a catastrophic recruitment shortfall affecting every branch of   
   the U.S Military simultaneously. But instead of solving the problem, the   
   system would apparently prefer to spend time deploying powerful   
   surveillance tools to trawl social media for mean comments in order to   
   protect the reputations of its key functionaries online.   
      
   “The ability to express opinions, criticize, make assumptions, or form   
   value judgments — especially regarding public officials — is a   
   quintessential part of democratic society,” said Ilia Siatitsa, a program   
   director for Privacy International, in an interview with The Intercept.   
      
   Those inclined to take meaningful action, however, have blamed the   
   government’s overtly anti-White policies for its ongoing recruitment woes,   
   as White men appear rightfully averse to the risks of joining an   
   institution believed to be wrought with crime, corruption, and   
   entrepreneurial intelligence agencies seeking to purge them for their   
   political opinions or race.   
      
   “Anyone White, normal, and under 50 is a potential enemy of the U.S.   
   Government,” said independent journalist Joseph Jordan on Telegram in   
   response to a report which indicated that Federal prosecutors may seek the
