THIS 2016 article by James Simpson offers an important history of Black Lives Matter, looking at its extensive funding and connections to major Communist organizations, including the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which uses cases such as Trayvon Martin and George Floyd as pretexts for insurrection in the streets and total revolution. From the piece: The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades. Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome. Nevertheless, BLM appears to be exercising considerable leverage over the Democratic Party, in part by pressuring and intimidating Democratic candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (VT) into embracing their cause. The movement could also assist President Obama’s exploitation of racial divisions in society beyond his final term in office. This report examines in detail, for the first time, how communist groups have manipulated the cause of Black Lives Matter, and how money from liberal foundations has made it all possible.

THIS IS A TEST. It’s not quite an IQ test. It’s a test of your fundamental ability to discern reality.

Here we go.

Please view this interview of George Floyd’s supposed second grade teacher talking about an essay he allegedly wrote about wanting to be a Supreme Court Justice someday. Please notice that she does not call Floyd by his real name, but refers to him as “Perry.” Please also note that at several points she appears to be looking downward and reading from a script. Please ask yourself, forgetting the improbability of little George even knowing what a Supreme Court justice is let alone wanting to be one and the sad irony that he did not become a judge but actually became a convict in jail for, among other things, violently assaulting a pregnant woman, how this sweet and innocent teacher, so sweetly untroubled by the criminal past of her now famous student, even came to the attention of the bigwigs at CNN, who are not just sitting around waiting for retired elementary school teachers to call with their interesting little stories.

If after viewing this video by the propaganda outlet CNN, you are emotionally touched or still trust the official version of Floyd’s death, you should distrust your own grasp of reality and basic judgement. You have flunked this test. You should exercise caution in ordinary activities, especially if you are a “conservative” blogger supposedly dedicated to the truth or a Christian who believes it is impolite, unpatriotic or literally insane to question the veracity of the government or the media even though these institutions are explicitly committed to burying everything you hold dear.

I would also like to sell you my house. It’s going for $5 million and is a bargain. (more…)

  IT'S INTERESTING that many Jews passionately support -- and provide a great deal of the funding for -- Black Lives Matter. It's interesting because Jews never organized in this way to oppose the slavery of Africans in America. And in fact, many Jews -- a much higher percentage than among white Christians -- were in the business of selling slaves and owned slaves themselves. Gee, even comedian Larry David's great-great grandfather, Henry Bernstein, was a slave owner. Winter Watch reports on his history as revealed in a 2017 PBS documentary. Most of the abolitionists were professed Christians. Many Jews supported the Confederacy --- and yet don't hold your breath waiting for them to issue public apologies. Rabbi David Einhorn was, according to WW, the sole rabbi who spoke out against slavery and he found little support from his Baltimore congregation in 1861: Of the moral condition: There are enough churches, synagogues and temples, but there is very little religion, little morality … here [among the Jews]. Everything is empty, everything is glimmer … Here, too, rules the golden eagle rather than the … Here, too, all feelings of the heart and dreams are concentrated only on acquiring [things] … There is only one thought: to make as much as possible. [Fein, Baltimore Jews] More from WW: The American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in their report of 1853 expressed their frustration. Excerpts from the report state: The Jews of the United States have…

A READER writes:

I was almost physically handled at Whole Foods today when I went to shop without a mask. They had this big guy at the door who got right in my face. Then the manager called security; that’s when I took out my order and had him read the exemption, and he let me shop.

I told him I’ve spent thousands of dollars at that store, and how dare he treat me like a criminal. I got a tongue-lashing from a customer too. He had a heart problem. I thanked him for wearing a mask for me. (more…)

APROPOS of the discussion in this entry about the American Revolution and the motives of the Founders, here is the long rebuttal to the Declaration of Independence written in 1776 by deposed Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson. The 32-page letter was published anonymously at the time and was addressed to British Prime Minister Lord Frederick North. Hutchinson, whose Boston house was ransacked by a mob in 1765, called the Declaration’s complaints against the Empire “a list of imaginary grievances.” He writes in closing:

They have, my Lord, in their late address to the people of Great Britain, fully avowed these principles of Independence, by declaring they will pay no obedience to the laws of the Supreme Legislature; they have also pretended, that these laws were the mandates of edicts of the Ministers, not the acts of a constitutional legislative power, and have endeavoured to persuade such as they called their British Brethren, to justify the Rebellion begun in America; and from thence they expected a general convulsion in the Kingdom, and that measures to compel a submission would in this way be obstructed. These expectations failing, after they had gone too far in acts of Rebellion to hope for impunity, they were under necessity of a separation, and of involving themselves, and all over whom they had usurped authority, in the distresses and horrors of war against that power from which they revolted, and against all who continued in their subjection and fidelity to it.

Gratitude, I am sensible, is seldom to be found in a community, but so sudden a revolt from the rest of the Empire, which had incurred so immense a debt, and with which it remains burdened, for the protection and defence of the Colonies, and at their most importunate request, is an instance of ingratitude no where to be paralleled.

Suffer me, my Lord, before I close this Letter, to observe, that though the professed reason for publishing the Declaration was a decent respect to the opinions of mankind, yet the real design was to reconcile the people of America to that Independence, which always before, they had been made to believe was not [32] intended. This design has too well succeeded. The people have not observed the fallacy in reasoning from the whole to part; nor the absurdity of making the governed to be governors. From a disposition to receive willingly complaints against Rulers, facts misrepresented have passed without examining. Discerning men have concealed their sentiments, because under the present free government in America, no man may, by writing or speaking, contradict any part of this Declaration, without being deemed an enemy to his country, and exposed to the rage and fury of the populace.

  BLACK nationalist Marcus Garvey would not be a fan of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and George Floyd agitators, all of which are motivated by malice, envy, egotism and greed. For timely thoughts on his work, see here and here. Racial nationalism is not enough though. No race can lift itself up without religion. Religion is the school of virtue. And human beings are not capable of virtue on their own efforts alone.  

FOR THOSE Catholics who aspire, despite their many and obvious failings, to be simple, direct and docile in their faith and who, through the unmerited grace of God, the use of reason and this effort at total submission, realize that the papal chair is currently vacant and no true pope sits in Rome, the words of the French monk Dom Prosper Guéranger relating to today’s Feast of Corpus Christi, which celebrates the true and miraculous Presence of Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, a belief which modern materialists and pantheists, like their forerunners in ancient times, find barbaric and repugnant, may serve as a stern warning about the possibility of obtaining the Eucharist at this time.

Aspiring to be simple and submissive despite my many failings and sins, I consider Guéranger’s words on the indispensable bond between the Vicar of Christ and the Eucharist cause for grave doubt about the Traditionalist Chapels which rightly disavow the false pope in Rome while still dispensing what they claim to be the lawful and valid Eucharist. Where there is doubt, we must not act.

The fact that these chapels are not united in their beliefs, especially as to who should receive and who can lawfully consecrate the Blessed Sacrament, is another cause for grave doubt. Catholics are expected to make gruelingly difficult decisions on jurisdictional matters before they can approach the altar at some of these chapels. The faith is not enough; one must be a genius in ecclesiastical law and spend hours poring through reams of documents about the psychological status of certain deceased bishops to know what is right.

Then there are the rogue “independent” chapels that simply take one and all, as if there ever was a thing called “independence” in the Catholic Church. As long as you like the look of Traditional Catholicism, you’re in. Appearances count most. All this smacks of Protestant disunity, which leads inevitably to two very unfortunate and opposing calamities: fanaticism and indifference.

As the prophetic Guéranger put it in the nineteenth century, “Christ in his Sacrament, and Christ in his Vicar, is in reality but the one same Rock that bears the building which is erected upon it; the one sole Head, visible in his representative, his Vicar, and invisible in his own substance, in the Sacrament.”

I recommend Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, Volume X, “Tuesday after Trinity Sunday” reading in full. Here are some pertinent excerpts: (more…)

SING, my tongue, the Savior’s glory, Of His flesh the mystery sing; Of His Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destined, for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring.

Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born for us on earth below, He, as Man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then He closed in solemn order, Wondrously His life of woe.

On the night of that Last Supper, Seated with His chosen band, He the Pascal victim eating, First fulfills the Law’s command; Then as Food to all His brethren, Gives Himself with His own hand.

Word-made-Flesh, the bread of nature, By His word to Flesh He turns; Wine into His Blood He changes; What though sense no change discerns, Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns. (more…)

FROM The Anti-New York Times:

“A veto-proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council pledged on Sunday to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, promising to create a new system of public safety.”

That’s Red Minneapolis. In Red New York City, the Marxist sub-group of the City Council which has jurisdiction over the Civilian Complaint Review Board — and hence, a big say in de-balling the cops — is called “The Committee on Public Safety.” Hmmm. Now where have we heard that exact term before? If you read Planet Rothschild, you would know that it is from the bloody French Revolution.

The original Committee of Public Safety was created by the Jacobin terrorists (Reds) during the Reign of Terror (1793–1794) phase of the revolution. The Committee defined its role as the protection the new republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion.

In Communist Czechoslovakia, the dreaded national police force which was founded by Stalin’s henchmen in 1945 was called “Public Safety.” You see, Marxists have their own code-language which centers around them. For example, the word “progress ™,” to a Marxist, doesn’t mean progress in the cultural, economic or scientific sense. No. It means “progress” toward their final revolutionary destination.

Similarly, the term “public safety” doesn’t mean safety for the common people. The word “public” means the Revolutionary government; and “safety” actually refers to the protection of the new gangster regime — by any means necessary — from any “counter-revolutionary” resisters crying foul.  Get it?

  OPEN, unhindered acts of Communist insurrection, animated by intense racial hatred, continued in Richmond, Virginia last night, when a statue of Christopher Columbus was defaced with graffiti, torn down, set ablaze and thrown in a lake by people allegedly upset by the death of George Floyd, a violent thug in Minneapolis. See our previous report on other recent acts of destruction in Richmond. The Hill reports: The 8-foot-tall memorial to the explorer in Richmond, Va., was pulled down with ropes and dragged roughly 200 yards to nearby Landing at Foundation Lake, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It was also reportedly briefly lit on fire. The base of the statue was covered in graffiti, and protesters held signs reading “This land is Powhatan land” and “Columbus represents genocide.” A makeshift headstone poster was also placed in front of the sunken statute in the water that read, “Racism. You will not be missed.” The figure was reportedly the first statue of Columbus erected in the South, according to the newspaper. It was dedicated in December 1927. The statue’s toppling came after demonstrators in the city were seen marching down Arthur Ashe Boulevard, one of hundreds of demonstrations across the U.S. protesting racial injustice and police brutality following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis late last month. Protesters in Richmond noted that African Americans and indigenous peoples both face white supremacy and institutionalized racism in the United States since Columbus first arrived on the…
