Racism

While I am following closely various discussions on Western mass media and social media, simultaneously engaging in several direct exchanges, one overwhelming leitmotif that I see is clearly emerging: “What is happening in the United States (and the UK, France and other parts of Western Empire) is not really about the race. Let us protest peacefully, let us not allow ‘rioting’ to continue, and above all, please let us not single out the white race, Western culture as a sole villain.

San Francisco Public PressJune 3 was the night of a protest to defy the recently declared curfew in Oakland and defend our Constitutional rights. Thousands attended, the plaza was packed full. This was the community calling the bluff of Law Enforcement, and the latter didn’t enforce their curfew.

Defunding will only invite more, and bigger, problems.

The brutal treatment of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, by former Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, has sparked protests across the country, as well as calls for abolishing police departments in major cities. Floyd’s tragic death demands that we examine the underlying issues and systemic abuse within some police forces. But defunding the police will only invite more, and bigger, problems.

Science has emerged as the new religion of contemporary Western civilization, raising the status of its practitioners to the level of secular sainthood and its findings increasingly taken as the voice of God. Never in history has such a patently unscientific approach to science been so prevalent as it is today in the midst of this global health crisis, where people with a Ph.D.

These, the derisive words of then-President Obama to an unruly crowd at a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton in 2016. They would become, in the years that followed, a calling card for Democratic operatives, printed on stickers and hats and coffee mugs, taken up as organizational slogan and event title. They are words which would become particularly relevant after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers and subsequent protests which erupted in the Twin Cities and across the country and world.

The mainstream media would have us believe that all black leaders are in the tank against President Trump; that he is a rube and completely insensitive to the needs of the black community. Fine. They can report that way if they want to. However, the American president simply takes action and has done so, enough that he carries a 36% to 40% approval rating among blacks in general, which is extremely high for any Republican President. This may be part of the reason the “Floyd” riots were contrived, to do a bit of distraction to try to change the narrative.

The US and Israel don't just share brutal and racist policing methods. In a world of depleting resources and a contracting global economy, they are devising strategies to prevent resistance from a growing underclass.

This op-ed is reprinted already on Russia Today “RT” and it is so telling we believe we need reprint it here for our readers. It illustrates the absurdity and lethality of the “Defund the Police” madness that is gaining support among the radical left in the United States and even internationally.

The riots and demonstrations by Antifa and Black Lives Matter are certainly a dominant theme in today’s news. The alleged aggression against people of color has, if one trusts the media, created an image of a galvanized and very angry people who have been woefully treated for far, far too long. Martin Luther King’s descendants often appear to use their star power to support and provoke the demonstrations to still further extents of fury and self-justification. However, the children and grandchildren are not echoing what their father wanted.
