WALTER WILLIAMS, the black columnist, writes:  President Barack Obama and his first attorney general, Eric Holder, called for an honest conversation about race. Holder even called us “a nation of cowards” because we were unwilling to have a “national conversation” about race. The truth of the matter is there’s been more than a half-century of conversations about race. We do not need more. Instead, black people need to have frank conversations among ourselves, no matter how uncomfortable and embarrassing the topics may be. Among the nation’s most dangerous cities are Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Baltimore, Memphis, Milwaukee, Birmingham, Newark, Cleveland and Philadelphia. These once-thriving cities are in steep decline. What these cities have in common is that they have large black populations. Also, they have been run by Democrats for nearly a half-century, with blacks having significant political power. Other characteristics these cities share are poorly performing and unsafe schools, poor-quality city services, and declining populations. Each year, more than 7,000 blacks are murdered. That’s a number greater than white and Hispanic murder victims combined. Blacks of all ages are killed at six times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined. According to the FBI, the police kill about 400 people a year; blacks are roughly one-third of that number. In Chicago alone, so far this year, over 2,000 people have been shot, leaving over 320 dead. It’s a similar tale of mayhem in other predominantly black cities. Heather Mac Donald’s…

THE news reports of the shooting last week of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge show shocking police brutality. These reports appear to be reliable. Sterling, a 37-year-old black man, was selling pirated DVDs outside of a convenience store when he was accosted by police. When he attempted to reach into his pocket, one of the officers said he had a gun and another shot him in the chest, killing him. The owner of the store recorded the shooting on his cell phone. See The Daily Mail’s latest account here; police have seized the CCTV video from the store. (Warning: graphic images.) While Black Lives Matter is manipulated by those who care nothing about improving life for blacks, it also represents real grievances. Murderous police tactics have become increasingly common in America. If the reports are true, this is a case of police savagery. Five other men, all black, have been killed by police in the Louisiana city since 2013. In the history of the Baton Rouge police department, over the course of more than 100 years, 10 police officers have been killed by gunfire.

[Update: Here’s a reported breakdown of police killings for the year.  White males comprise the largest group by far, though blacks are disproportionately represented among victims, which is not surprising given their higher rates of gun violence.]

RUTH NEELY, a Wyoming municipal judge, never declined to perform a same-sex “marriage” ceremony before she was hauled before a judicial ethics commission and removed from her position for mentioning her religious convictions to a newspaper reporter. She was punished for committing a thought crime. William N. Grigg, a libertarian, writes: (more…)

CHICAGO has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. Even so, 115 people, most of them blacks attacked by other blacks, were reportedly shot last week. If black lives mattered, this would be a national story.

CORPORATIONS love "gay pride." So do politicians and many "Christians," as we see in this video of the June "gay pride" parade in Boston. Watch as Bostonians, including families with young children, cheer sadomasochists, Satanists and trannies. [Obscene images, not for watching with children in the room.] The "youth pride" parade in May was also supported by public funds. "Pride" has become one more Orwellian word. Possibly ruined forever.

GEORGE SOROS, the Jewish billionaire, has singlehandedly created both the refugee invasion in Europe and the Black Lives Matter movement, writes Tyler Durden at Zero Hedge: To any rational thinker, some global events just don’t make sense. Why, for example, would Western democracies take in millions of people whose values are completely incompatible with their own? When we look closely at the agenda being actively promoted by the leading globalist puppet master, George Soros, things become a little clearer. Soros has given $33 million to the Black Lives Matter movement and much more to organizations facilitating the migrant invasion of Europe.

THE Anti-New York Times reports on the Dallas Hoax:

It would be impossible for LHS (Langley-Hollywood Studios) to pull off such a stunt [no images of bodies and no videos of the actual Dallas shootings — in a city packed with cameras] without help from local authorities — in particular, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and Dallas Police Chief David Brown. Rawlings is a well-connected, Obongo-loving former businessman (CEO of Pizza Hut) who defeated a former Police Chief to win the Mayorship of now-Democrat Dallas in 2011.

Fed-connected Police Chief Brown was installed as a “reformer” in 2010, and praised by anti-cop libtards and Marxists ever since. He graduated from the FBI National Academy and the FBI National Executive Institute, the National Counter-Terrorism Seminar in Tel Aviv (cough cough), and the United States Secret Service dignitary protection seminar.

Since taking over the department, at least 143 police officers have resigned in disgust as recruitment has stagnated (here). The verbally-challenged Brown, like Mayor Rawlings, is exactly the type of ambitious “reformer” that the likes of Obongo, the CIA / LHS, and the Piranha Press would have needed to coordinate with, pull off and, more importantly, cover up such a stunt. We should not expect any honest Dallas cops to publicly voice their suspicions anymore than we would those New York cops and firemen who quickly shut up about the bombs they heard going off during the 9-11-2001 attacks. Who wants to jeopardize a career and a pension by talking to some journalist whose editor would never carry the “conspiracy theory” TM anyway?

That’s how the cover-up dynamic works. And until people understand the formula, expect the “crisis actor” industry to keep hiring; and expect more and more of these false-false flag stunts to keep happening until Federal “oversight” (control) of both guns and local police departments is achieved. That’s the long game. The short game, we theorize, is to disrupt the coming political conventions and November election for the purpose of keeping the ‘American Pharaoh” in the Rainbow House for a “Triple Crown.”

And what about popular Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), an outspoken critic of Homo-Obongo who had been strongly and openly challenging the Feds on trannie rights, immigration and gun laws? Abbott has been as silent as he has been invisible throughout the whole affair. Where the heck is Governor Abbott? (more…)

JAY DYER examined the "Dallas attack dialectics" over the weekend: The recent events (and subsequent incoherent media narratives) in Dallas continue to unravel, familiar patterns have already emerged that once again paint a now familiar picture of large-scale planning. We are now expected to believe this highly coordinated, professional “sniper” operation, whose numbers and details have now significantly changed, were conducted by the likes of a former vet and unknown accomplices for the purposes of targeting “white people,” and in particular, police. Immediately given the symbolic title “Michael X” to affiliate the suspect with Malcolm X, the entire scenario, from the revised proclamation of cell terrorist to “lone wolf,” now smells of sub-par Hollywood script-writing – especially the ludicrous climax of “hidden IEDs” followed by police deploying a bomb-carrying Robocop R2D2-like executioner as the only rational means of finally halting the crazed assassin. As we will see, the event also echoes prior known false flags and staged scenarios, as well as fitting a general pattern of Soros-style color revolutions and agitation propaganda, on top of the fact that the evolving official story is preposterous. While it may appear contradictory at first glance, the notion that such an event could fit the “progressive” mold of a color revolution is not far-fetched. [cont.]

FROM State of the Nation: 

In light of the growing list of serious scandals and unrivaled law-breaking by this Administration, it is clear why there is such a relentless push for a “full scale race war”. Obama’s inner circle must feel that it has no choice but to distract the American people from the unrelenting corruption and ubiquitous malfeasance that must be kept hidden from the public.

When it’s not distracting the citizenry with transparent race-baiting, the Obama Administration is diverting attention away from the very real class war that has been raging since the stock market crash of 2008.

Clearly, there is a much more significant and profound reason for so much racial conflict purposefully generated by Obama, his political proxies and agents throughout the Mainstream Media (MSM).  Ever-intensifying class warfare has been raging across the nation since September of 2008.  The moneyed class has been under direct assault by those who have been harmed by the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history.

    FROM The Precious Blood of Jesus Meditations by the Rev. R.F. Clark S.J.: On the night when God delivered His people from Egypt a lamb was slain, prefiguring the Lamb of God. It was to be a lamb without blemish, no bone of it was to be broken; it was to be wholly consumed by those in whose dwelling it was slain, and its blood was to be shed to the last drop. Apply these conditions of the Paschal Lamb to the Lamb of God, and see how perfectly they were fulfilled in the Sacrifice of the Cross. The blood of the Paschal Lamb was to be sprinkled on the doorposts of the Israelites; and thereby they were to be rendered safe from the judgment that fell upon the Egyptians. So the Precious Blood sprinkled upon our hearts saves us from the punishment we have justly deserved. It appeases the anger of God and marks us as belonging to Him, and as travellers to the Heavenly Jerusalem, longing to be freed from the bondage of earthly things. How is the Precious Blood sprinkled on our souls? In all the sacraments of the Church, in every act of contrition, in every deed of supernatural charity, in every prayer offered humbly and with confidence, it falls upon us, renders us safe from the avenging Angel, and secures us safe from the anger of God that our sins have justly merited. Asperges me,…

THEY’RE doing it one incident at a time. That’s what it’s all about. That’s the end goal.

A police state must be centralized. Both blacks and whites are being terrorized into accepting it.

Out of chaos, they will bring order. (more…)

  THE Traditio Fathers write: You've got to admire those early Roman Christians. They loved the Catholic Faith so much that when even popes became heretics or publicly immoral, the Romans would throw the errant popes to their death in the Tiber River that ran through Rome. To the Romans, respect was not given simply because someone had a title. Respect had to earned. Nowadays the Newchurchers and pseudo-traditionalists just sit by while the likes of the Marxist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio teaches heresy and immorality, not just once, but again and again. Yet the Tiber flows there unused. On July 4, 2016, a body was found by Italian investigators near the dome of St. Peter's Archbasilica, but they determined it not to be Bergoglio's, but that of an American student who had disappeared a few hours before. At this point many Newchurchers are so sick and tired of Bergoglio's heretical and immoral teachings that they probably wished some courageous Romans had applied the ancient penalty to the errant Newpope.

WHILE Elie Wiesel, the proven liar, is hailed as a moral prophet, 87-year-old Ursula Haverbeck is in jail in Germany for no other reason than her public request that the details of the "Holocaust" be openly debated. Here is a famous 2015 interview with her that was aired on German television, before she was sentenced to 10 months in jail. By the way, Haverbeck does not deny that many thousands of Jews suffered and died in concentration camps.
